Chapter 1650 - 1653: The Vacant Position of the Five Cultivation Tigers

However, just when all the young cultivators were convinced that the title of the Five Tigers of Cultivation would undoubtedly be bestowed upon Shen Qiang, several esteemed figures and numerous elders from the cultivation world suddenly stood up.Kunlun Sword Sect Leader: "The title of the Five Tigers of Cultivation is an honor given by the cultivation world to those with outstanding talent, not a reward for murderers. So, Shen Qiang dreaming of becoming one of the Five Tigers is ridiculous. In terms of character, he is deplorable, and in terms of status, he is merely a leader of a group of petty demons, thus unworthy of being one of the new Five Tigers from these perspectives!"

As soon as the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader spoke, the entire Immortal Realm Forum fell silent for quite a while.

After all, it was different from other times in the cultivation world.

Previously, any major or minor event in the cultivation world was quickly communicated via homing pigeons, but it's different now. With the development of the internet, the whole world has become a single village, and any incident can be known across the entire cultivation world almost instantly.

And the Kunlun Sword Sect, as an established hegemon of the cultivation world, although its prestige is no longer what it once was, commanding the world unchallenged, the prestige is still significant.

When they intervened, the forum remained silent for at least three full minutes without a single post because nearly all cultivators were well aware of the significant conflict between Shen Qiang and the Kunlun Sword Sect, which began right after the founding of Heshenghe.

The Kunlun Sword Sect secretly arranged an alliance with Hidden Sword Villa, Qingyun Sword Pavilion, Carefree Valley, and Baihua Palace to invade Heshenghe.

But the result was that Qingyun Sword Pavilion's idol-level beauty Kang Luoying joined Heshenghe with the Qingyun Sword. Zuo Lianghao from Hidden Sword Villa submitted, the young mistress of Carefree Valley married the CEO of Heshenghe, Shen Bian, and Baihua Palace's Jade Girl Weisheng Qian Dai and Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei collaborated with Shen Qiang.

Not only that.

Later, due to the Dragon Group's Security Advisor title, the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader openly turned against Shen Qiang on the forum.

Subsequently, the Oasis incident with Ye Guyun and other matters, the Kunlun Sword Sect and Heshenghe were already in a state of fire and water, ready for conflict if not for the distance between them.

So when the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader jumped out to speak, almost all cultivators could clearly discern that the issue wasn't whether Shen Qiang deserved the Five Tigers title, but rather that the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader simply didn't want Shen Qiang's fame to grow.

"The title of the Five Tigers of Cultivation inherently belongs to the young cultivators with exceptional talent, not a sect's private property, and has nothing to do with character, only with talent and potential. If it truly required character, it should be called the Five Saints of Cultivation or the Five Great Virtues, wouldn't that be better?"

Others remained silent, but Ji Liangchuan, just waking up and scrolling through his phone, didn't want to stay quiet.

With Ji Liangchuan, Ji Seventh Brother, leading the way, many young cultivators immediately became lively.

"Seventh Brother is right, the Five Tigers of Cultivation evaluates talent and potential. Speaking of goodness and morality, none of the Five Tigers seem to be associated with being good people."

"Haha, the evaluation of the Five Tigers of Cultivation isn't something any single sect can decide. Shen Qiang has gone from starting cultivation to becoming a Yang God Realm expert in just a year, killing stronger opponents despite his own realm. He founded Heshenghe, and both his talent and potential are evident. If this doesn't qualify him as one of the Five Tigers, who does?"

"Exactly, if they appoint someone inferior to Shen Qiang as one of the Five Tigers, I'd just laugh."

The words from numerous anonymous accounts quickly reached the hearts of many young cultivators.

"Indeed, Shen Qiang's cultivation speed even surpasses that of the Sword Saint. If he can't be one of the Five Tigers, what's the point of evaluating the Five Tigers of Cultivation? What significance does it have?"

"Exactly, and in terms of strength, Shen Qiang broke Yan Xianghui's Wandering Dragon Body Method with one punch; his prowess is simply overwhelming. If even he isn't worthy, haha, Kunlun Sect Leader, are you planning to take the position yourself?"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious. Who would've thought this honor based on talent and potential suddenly got tied to character? Besides not giving face to the Kunlun Sword Sect, I haven't seen any evidence of Shen Qiang's bad character."

"Indeed, indeed."

Many young cultivators replied anonymously with mocking remarks, yet none of this silenced the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader.

"Haha, even if the Five Tigers of Cultivation only assess talent and potential regardless of character, let me ask you: have you heard the saying 'Under the Mixed Element Realm, all are ants'?"

Instantly, many cultivators browsing the forum fell silent.

Seeing no one spoke, the Kunlun Sword Sect Leader continued posting on his own: "In the cultivation world, over seventy-five percent of cultivators spend their entire lives unable to pass the Nascent Soul Stage, and roughly estimated, at least ninety-five percent can't enter the Mixed Element Realm."

"I've seen many extraordinarily talented cultivators, even those who finished Foundation Establishment in days, but as their cultivation realm advanced, many cultivators' progress stagnated."

"Take our Kunlun Sword Sect as an example. We once had a talent who completed Foundation Establishment within a week, but in the subsequent fifty years, he couldn't enter the Nascent Soul Stage."

"Therefore, to become one of the Five Tigers of Cultivation, the first criterion is being a strong person beyond the Mixed Element Realm."

"Does Shen Qiang qualify? He's merely a cunning, opportunistic trickster who excels in nothing but alchemy, poisoning, and leading a group of petty demons. Beyond these, where is he outstanding? Without even Mixed Element Realm cultivation, being considered an ant in the cultivation world, not even a strong person, to aspire for the Five Tigers title is laughably ridiculous!"

Upon seeing these words, after a moment of silence, cultivators began discussing in replies.

"Indeed, the hallmark of the Mixed Element Realm is harnessing spiritual energy from heavens and earth for personal use, whereas ordinary cultivators rely solely on their True Yuan. In terms of capabilities, it's like heaven and earth, so from this standpoint, Shen Qiang lacking Mixed Element Realm cultivation makes him unqualified for the Five Tigers."

"True, don't just focus on the time he took to cultivate; more importantly, Shen Qiang is already in his twenties. In this age group, true elites have already entered the Mixed Element Realm, and some absolute geniuses have even progressed to the Dao Fruit Stage, so Shen Qiang truly can't be considered outstanding."

"Exactly, if he shows off previously, only to fail to enter the Mixed Element Realm while being one of the Five Tigers, won't it embarrass the entire cultivation world?"
