Chapter 1191: Chapter 48: So Many Worries Today
In the world, there was originally no path, but as more people walked, it became a path.
This is the best depiction of Sword Dao.
Sword Dao is the path of the acquired, a great path explored step by step by numerous Sword Cultivators crossing the river by feeling the stones.
No one knows how to proceed or where the path lies ahead.
If that’s the case, then everywhere can be a path.
The so-called abyss of ten thousand feet, walking into it, can certainly become a long journey ahead.
Qingyun Sword Immortal’s words left everyone present slightly stunned, and then they all seemed to have gained something.
Their somewhat dim emotions brightened instantly.
Xie Qingyun continued, "Shiyi is exceptionally talented, can be described as stunningly brilliant, and more so, he cultivates the sword of three lifetimes. He will naturally have his own fortunes, so you need not worry."
"Given this, our biggest concern now is how to support the Central Spirit Domain, and how many personnel should we dispatch for support?" Gu Qiu brought the topic back.
"The strength of the Demon Race far exceeds that of the Human Race, not to mention that the most crucial card of the Central Spirit Domain, Dragon City Pass, fell into the hands of the Demon Race due to
Rinsing Spirit Sect’s betrayal to the Demon Race."
He frowned and said, "The abilities of the Heart Demon Clan are truly bizarre; they disguised themselves as Human Cultivators for so many years without a single flaw, and even held positions in the Taoist Sect without being detected."
"On the flip side, thinking about it, the top cultivators of the Rinsing Spirit Sect being of the Demon Race is actually beneficial to us at the moment," Xia Daoyun calmly said.
Xie Qingyun slightly nodded, agreeing with Xia Daoyun’s perspective.
The rationale is simple.
Since Rinsing Spirit Sect’s betrayal is a foregone conclusion, if Rinsing Spirit Sect were not of the Demon Race, it would mean they face an alliance of the Taoist Sect and a domain of Demons.
In the context where the Seven Great Holy Demon Clans are eyeing fiercely on the front lines, this is a combination that the Human Race cannot possibly defeat.
But the current situation is that Rinsing Spirit Sect is part of the Demon Race’s inherent strength, not their outside reinforcement.
This means that they are only facing one domain of Demons.
That is still a battle that can be fought.
"The Demon Race is a beast, blocked by our Human Race outside the pass for twenty thousand years, and their wildness has been constantly accumulating.
If they are allowed to invade the Central Spirit Domain, they will undoubtedly release unimaginable destructive power, by then the Central Spirit Domain alone won’t satisfy them," Gu Qiu said extremely calmly.
"This breach must never be made." Gu Qiu said with utmost calmness.
"This message must be quickly communicated to the other five domains and Great Xia, regardless of whether they have the spare power to support the Central Spirit Domain or whether they are willing to," Ning Fengchen said.
"As soon as I received the message, I already had someone send the message out," Xie Qingyun said steadily.
"That’s good," Ning Fengchen nodded, his sharp gaze sweeping across the faces of everyone, and solemnly said, "This time supporting the
Central Spirit Domain, the main force must be our Sword Sect, and it can only be our Sword Sect...."
Because only the Sword Sect acts so "without regard for gain or loss," "not calm or objective."
"Therefore, the success or failure of this battle in the Central Spirit Domain will depend on our Sword Sect," Ning Fengchen continued, "Since this is the case, I must have a position among those going to the Central Spirit Domain."
Xie Qingyun quietly looked at Ning Fengchen, slowly nodded, "You master the Sword Technique of Slaughter, purely on killing, none of them can match you. This battle in the Central Spirit Domain will surely run with rivers of blood, perfectly suited for you to showcase."
"The journey to the Central Spirit Domain, Fengchen can go."
"However, as important as our assistance to the Central Spirit Domain is, defending Yumen Pass is equally important, neither can be lost," Qingyun Sword Immortal said calmly.
"Therefore, among you five, at least three must stay at the Eastern Domain to guard the pass, or else I can’t rest easy," Qingyun Sword Immortal said calmly.
Everyone looked up at the old Sect Master, watching the calm eyes of the old Sect Master in silence for a long time.
Finally, Yu Canghai spoke, "Daoyun, Wujian, and I will stay to guard the pass."
"I am skilled in the Sword Array, and with the cover of Yumen Pass’s Long Wind Formation, I can unleash the full power of the Sword Array without restraint, better suited for defense rather than assault."
"Wuqiao is good at nurturing the sword, can slay the strongest of the Demon Race but has only one sword.
Yet this journey to the Central Spirit Domain will surely be filled with the flames of war, before encountering the Demon Lord of the Heart Demon Clan, countless battles must be endured.
Wuqiao cannot refrain from using the sword, nor can he use the sword nurtured for a hundred years against low-level Demonic Cultivators, that would be like using a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken, similarly better suited to guard the pass."
"As for Daoyun...." Yu Canghai gazed at Xia Daoyun, "The most important thing for you now is to quickly get through this stage, complete the integration with it.
Once you fully grasp it, your Sword Dao, your strength will both elevate to a higher level, also making you unsuitable for the expedition."
Xia Daoyun’s eyes flickered, no one knew what she was thinking.
But in the end, she still nodded slightly, accepting Yu Canghai’s explanation.
Peak Master Xue Wujian also nodded in agreement.
"It?" Lu Qingshan beside them let his gaze flicker slightly, noting this unusual reference.
What does this ’it’ refer to?
He pondered silently.
According to Peak Master Canghai’s tone, this ’it’ is absolutely extraordinary, once the master completely masters this object, the strength will leap to a higher level.
One must know, Xia Daoyun not long ago just crossed the Sixth Tribulations, achieving a status of a Sixth Tribulation Cultivator, and it is impossible to undergo another tribulation in a short time, so what could possibly enhance the strength of a Sixth Tribulation Cultivator?
Lu Qingshan was extremely curious.
"As for Gu Qiu, you are adept at Sword Qi, and Sword Qi is inherently suited for the domineering battlefield. You, together with Fengchen, head to the Central Spirit Domain," on the other side, Yu Canghai opened his mouth again.
