Chapter 2689 - 549
Cao Zhen didn’t understand the actual composition of the Insect Clan’s mother insects, nor why they could convert all sorts of chaotic things into energy and then lay Soldier Bugs.
He also didn’t comprehend the cultivation techniques practiced by these mother insects. He could only start analyzing from the materials these mother insects consumed.
"I believe that the universe’s myriad things are composed of five basic elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. These elements mutually restrain and depend on each other. Therefore, I believe that when you devour those resources, you can’t just consume indiscriminately; you must do so selectively.
Moreover, I previously spoke to the Beast Clan about a theory of evolution, and in fact, I feel this theory of evolution is even more suitable for you.
Have you ever thought about what will happen to your descendants in the future if the Spiritual Energy in the world disappears? What kind of Soldier Bugs will you produce?
You should evolve even further..."
Cao Zhen talked a lot with these Insect Clan members, but he didn’t know if what he said was of any use. Even if it was useful, evolution is extremely long-term and wouldn’t show results immediately.
This point differs from the Beast Clan; as long as the Beast Clan’s half-step Golden Immortals find a new path, they might quickly gain enlightenment and enter the Golden Immortal Realm.
Yet, he did not know when these Insect Clans could enter the Golden Immortal Realm.
After leaving the Insect Clan, Cao Zhen then went into the Demon Clan, the Beast Clan, and the Prison Clan, and held the Dao Companion Grand Ceremony with Ju E, Immortal Lord Yao Tu, and Immortal Lord Lin Feng.
Unknowingly, the ten-year term had arrived, and the Eight Clans were finally about to elect the Alliance Hierarch of the Eight Clan Alliance.
At once, the Golden Immortals of the Human Clan, Prison Clan, Beast Clan, and Demon Clan all flew towards Heaven Accordance City, where the Sky Clan was located.
During these ten years, quite a few Golden Immortal cultivators were born within these four clans.
As for the Insect Clan, there appeared to be no visible change during the ten years. However, the Insect Clan’s attitude towards Cao Zhen was extremely positive now, so perhaps what he told them was useful, but the time was just too short to see the effects.
Regarding their Golden Immortals, because the Insect Clan is indeed too unique, their mother insects usually don’t let others know where they are. Thus, this time, they sent out Soldier Bugs.
Each mother insect sends out one Soldier Bug, and at the time, simply testing the blood of these Soldier Bugs would naturally reveal if their mother insect was a Golden Immortal.
Cultivators of the Golden Immortal Realm from each clan flew towards the same place at once. For a moment, the space where Heaven Accordance City was located trembled, the sky changed, and powerful experts of the Golden Immortal Realm flew by breaking through the air, resembling a myriad of stars descending.
These mighty experts, some wore golden battle robes, adorned with jade crowns, their faces cold and majestic.
Others had eyes that shone like lightning, exuding an irresistible might.
Some wore teal robes, with long hair flowing elegantly...
Faintly, above Heaven Accordance City, it seemed like lightning and thunder intertwined, with layers of clouds being dispersed by the airflow from these mighty experts’ flights.
There were indeed too many cultivators flying from various clans.
Just the Human Clan alone had eighty-three cultivators of the Golden Immortal Realm. At the time of other clans’ invasion, the Human Clan only had eighteen Golden Immortals left.
In just ten short years, the number of Golden Immortals in the Human Clan had directly quadrupled and more.
The Beast Clan’s number of Golden Immortals was roughly the same as that of the Human Clan, with eighty-five Golden Immortals. The Beast Clan originally had more Golden Immortals than the Human Clan, and with a larger base of half-step Golden Immortals, under Cao Zhen’s help, many half-step Golden Immortals had achieved Golden Immortal status in recent years.
However, the Demon Clan had even more Golden Immortals. This time, the Demon Clan dispatched a total of one hundred and thirty Golden Immortals, primarily because their Golden Immortals were initially numerous.
Moreover, their base of half-step Golden Immortals was even larger than the Beast Clan’s; with Cao Zhen’s help, the Demon Clan also saw a significant increase in Golden Immortal numbers.
Adding the Golden Immortals from just these three clans summed up to nearly three hundred.
Then there was the Prison Clan!
Although the Prison Clan’s base was smaller, they still dispatched thirty Golden Immortal cultivators this time.
In the distance, the Golden Immortals of the Evil Clan, watching the four clans gathering together, had extremely grave expressions. They only had eleven Golden Immortals in total.
True, the Evil Clan had always been the weakest among the clans, but they were not far behind the Prison Clan either.
However, now, the Prison Clan’s number of Golden Immortals was about three times theirs.
The main problem was that the Golden Immortal numbers of the Human Clan, Prison Clan, Beast Clan, and Demon Clan had grown too quickly over these past ten years.
The Human Clan previously had only eighteen Golden Immortals left, but now, in merely ten years, they had over eighty Golden Immortals. Is this normal!
The Golden Immortal numbers of these four clans had increased way too quickly.
A few Evil Clan Golden Immortals sighed gently. Originally, they really shouldn’t have sided with the Sky Clan. Back then, they still thought siding with the Sky Clan meant their strength would be relatively equal.
But in the end, the strength of these four clans grew rapidly over these ten years. Now, even if the Sky Clan merged its two forces, it wouldn’t be able to stop these four clans.
If only they knew this earlier, they wouldn’t have provoked the Human Clan!
Whether it was the Beast Clan, the Demon Clan, or the Prison Clan, it was all because of the Human Clan’s Cao Zhen that they increased their Golden Immortal numbers so much.
If they hadn’t attacked the Human Clan back then, the Human Clan would have helped them too, and their Golden Immortals would have definitely exceeded twenty, not just the current eleven.
