This book, the two of them read very slowly.
They were exceptionally careful, especially when it came to some key experts, as they tried their best to memorize everything. After all, they couldn't pull out the book every time they encountered someone, could they?
The last page contained only one sentence.
“The administrative staff of Heaven's Gate, official forces, and demon race forces are not within this evaluation range.”
Both of them exhaled a sigh of relief.
Among these, there were so many experts, and there were even several supreme level powerhouses. The celestial level experts were countless; such an abundance of powerful experts only represented the martial arts world sects and did not include the official forces!
Moreover, there were the demon races, specifically the ones from Zixie Qing's lineage. So, should the true number of top-tier experts be calculated as double or triple the currently known figures, or perhaps even more?
“The strength of Nine Heavens Pavilion is indeed astonishing and frightening!” Chu Yang looked out at the darkened window and sighed. While this statement was filled with praise and amazement, it also carried a sense of lament.
Looking at it now, he had only seen less than a quarter of the experts and already felt a heaviness in his heart; how furious must the Purple Sky Emperor Purple Hero have felt reminiscing about these people when he fought alone back then?
“Perhaps… the heavenly demons over there are even more… powerful,” Tie Butian comforted, “This is still uncertain.”
She slowly continued, “Moreover… even if this side is stronger than that side, if the hearts of the people are not united, then even billions of celestial level experts would still be useless.”
Chu Yang nodded slowly in agreement.
Not to mention anything else, just from the rankings of the sects, one could see how much effort and scheming each major sect would put in to improve their ranks.
If all their energy was devoted here, who would still think about the heavenly demons?
There was not only a lack of energy but even more so a lack of time!
Reputation and profit do not only exist among ordinary people, do they? The people here, undoubtedly, are akin to immortals in the Nine Heavens Continent. Yet… how many could truly escape the competition for fame and fortune?
Aren't they still fighting among themselves for fame and profit? Fighting to the death every day?
Moreover… the Purple Sky is so far away. Such distant news, even if transmitted, and then intentionally suppressed, how many waves could it stir? How much passion could it ignite?
Chu Yang suddenly understood the helplessness of the Purple Sky Emperor back then.
The younger generation should inherit the legacy, but never forget the otherworldly battle demons.
How much desolation is contained in that phrase? It is like a parent telling their son: I will never succeed in my life; all hopes rest on you…
“Those children… you haven’t gone to see them today, have you?” Tie Butian asked pensively.
“No,” Chu Yang understood Tie Butian’s meaning and said solemnly, “It is already enough now.”
Tie Butian nodded and sighed lightly, her gaze carrying a hint of reluctance.
“If we were to forcefully keep them, we cannot give them the future that belongs to them; for their future…” Chu Yang said heavily.
“I understand,” Tie Butian sighed sadly, her reluctance even more pronounced.
How much does it cost to cultivate a powerful expert?
To cultivate an ordinary person from the very basics until they can withstand the heavenly demons at the saint level, how much wealth? How much spiritual medicine? How much training? How much risk?
Even for an unparalleled genius, there is the latent danger of falling midway. Moreover, this probability of genius falling is at least dozens of times higher than that of an ordinary martial artist!
Even if only cultivating one or two, ordinary big families cannot afford it. For example, in Purple Cloud City now, it is said that the Jin Family and Wu Family, using all their family resources, can they really cultivate a genuine powerhouse? In their eyes, a heavenly level expert is already an unbeatable super being, but in the eyes of true powerhouses, a heavenly level individual is just a slightly stronger ant!
