Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 1109: Chapter 674: Imperial Might

…

Once these words were spoken, outside the battlefield, all the Immortals fell silent.

This Dragon and Tiger True Monarch is no ordinary person; he is one of the several Saint Lords of the Great Profound Sect, holding the Tao Veins’ heavy weapon, the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword. Both inside and outside the sect, he stands as a towering figure, truly a colossus of the Divine Land.

Now that he has come wielding an Emperor’s Weapon, although somewhat biased and protective, given the status of the Great Profound Sect and his own capabilities, to be questioned so directly, accused of disgracing the Taoist Academy’s threshold, was somewhat unexpected.

However, thinking about it, it also made sense. After all, the Wandao School and the Hehe Mountain were locked in a life-and-death struggle, and Xu Qingyang who dared to meet the challenge alone, fighting against a host of Immortals, must have been prepared to contend with various powerhouses and even Emperor’s Weapons.

Although the Great Profound Sect holds a transcendent status, and the Dragon and Tiger True Monarch is a True Immortal Saint Lord, with this man’s manner of action, he probably doesn’t regard them highly. And now that the other side has taken the field to back Hehe Mountain, it is only natural for him not to give face.

After all, he is no ordinary man; he easily broke the Yin Yang Harmony Array and nonchalantly executed the two Hehe Saint Masters with his sword. Such capabilities are probably even above those of a True Immortal Saint Lord; even without the support of an Emperor’s Weapon, he has no reason to fear the opposition.

In light of this, how will the Great Profound Sect and that Dragon and Tiger True Monarch respond?

Is it war?

Is it retreat?

Or…

“Ah!!!”

While the Immortals’ thoughts were unsettled, another scream rang out from the battlefield—The Four Symbols True Spirit Formation had been annihilated by the incarnations of The Three Pure Ones, with four True Immortals dead or injured. The dead turned to ash, needless to say, while the injured fled for their lives.

“This…!?”

Seeing this, the Immortals were also shocked, looking at the fleeing four True Immortals, along with the chasing incarnations of The Three Pure Ones, their faces betraying their astonishment.

One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, though it’s a Great Divine Power of Taoism, no matter how powerful the Divine Power is, it cannot change the essence. As a technique of division, the strength of the incarnations must be less than the true body. Against opponents of similar realms, theoretically, they should only be able to entangle.

But now, defying common sense, the incarnations of The Three Pure Ones actually defeated the four True Immortals, even within their Four Symbols True Spirit Formation.

Even if those four True Immortals were third-class True Immortals without inheritance of the Emperor Scriptures, such combat strength is still terrifying.

If the divided incarnations can defeat True Immortals, then his True Body, even if it cannot fight across realms and contend with Ancient Great Emperors, should have no problem resisting True Immortal Saint Lords who are a “Half-step Emperor.”

“Wrong!”

“Those four…are not their true selves?”

“They are Second Primordial Spirits, External Incarnations!”

“No wonder they were defeated by him, tempted by minor gains they forget their lives, for great undertakings they spare their bodies.”

“But now it seems a wise move. Xu Qingyang is too terrifying. Even if their True Bodies were to come, it would hardly change the outcome of this battle.”

“Although the Second Primordial Spirits are lost, they are just that, compared to the two Hehe Saint Masters, it is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.”

“Who can contend with such strength of the Honored Wandao, without the Emperor’s Weapon being deployed?”

Watching the four escaping True Immortals, the crowd shook their heads, then turned their gaze back to the center of the battlefield, the key point.

…

Faced with Xu Yang’s sharp words, the youthful Zhang Dongting fell silent for a while before, unexpectedly, he didn’t get angered. Instead he sighed: “Indeed, Hehe Mountain was at fault, but Taoist, your practice of reincarnating disciples is not entirely justifiable either. Now that the Hehe Mountain Master is dead, the chief evil vanquished, I hope you, Taoist…”

“Who is unjust? What is inappropriate?”

The words were cut off before they were finished, as Xu Yang frowned coldly, utterly disdainful of showing respect to the Taixuan True Immortal: “Is it my reincarnation technique that is unjust, or is it that my Wandao School’s actions are inappropriate?”

…

…

…

Once these words were uttered, the Immortals were silent once more, and Zhang Dongting’s brow furrowed even tighter.

He had already conceded, wanting to gloss over the matter, yet the other still insisted on pursuing it?

Did he truly think that just because he defeated Hehe Mountain, he could dominate the Divine Land with his invincibility?

Zhang Dongting’s brow furrowed tightly, anger rising in his heart, yet it was difficult to erupt, even harder to refute.

Fortunately, at this moment, Fire God Monarch Song Wuji, seeing his predicament, leaped into the arena and spoke on his behalf.

“Xu Qingyang, as an External Cultivator, you entered our Divine Land with the method of reincarnation, and you widely took in disciples, attempting to carry out ‘Replace the People or Item.’ Is such behavior also considered appropriate? Now, the True Monarch is overlooking it, yet you still refuse to let it go. Do you really think our Great Profound Sect cannot handle you?”

Cold and stern words were thrown out as Song Wuji rushed to Zhang Dongting’s side, acting as his mouthpiece, arguing with the enemy.

“This…”

“Why have we begun to talk about reason?”

Seeing this, the crowd was first stunned, but soon came to an understanding.

“If they can’t defeat him, they have to talk reason, don’t they?”

“This Honored Wandao possesses vast Divine Power, executing True Immortals as if slaughtering pigs and dogs, he even has the qualities of a Great Emperor, the hope of Proving the Dao. Even the Great Profound Sect cannot boast that they could certainly capture him.”

“If they fail to defeat him in battle and allow him to escape, if he seeks revenge, then the Great Profound Sect will also suffer heavy losses.”

“Moreover, he still has the hope of Proving the Dao, once he achieves Great Emperorhood and seeks revenge, then the Great Profound Sect could only scatter their Tao Lineage, flee into the wilderness, and avoid his sharpness.”

“For a Hehe Mountain that has lost its value, taking such a risk, the wise do not do this!”

“But for the grand Great Sect of the Ancestor Court, the ruler of the Tao Veins, if they were to slip away so easily, it would indeed be too humiliating — naturally, they can only talk about principles and reason.”

“They still needed Song Wuji to argue because the Dragon and Tiger True Monarch, being a Taixuan Saint Lord, should not appear himself, blocking his own retreat.”

Everyone present, being of quick wit, immediately understood the situation of the Great Profound Sect and Song Wuji’s intentions.

“It remains to be seen if he can win the argument.”

“Humph, how could he not win? This Divine Land is the Great Profound Sect’s territory for Life, Xu Qingyang being but an External Demon, has come to scheme. What was wrong with our sect’s cultivators disciplining a few of his disciples?”
