Capítulo 1222: Chapter 59: The Beginning
Two flowers blossom, each displays a branch.
On the other side of the abyss on the southern shore of the Rinsing Spirit Sect.
Black mist piled up, rendering the atmosphere like a ghostly specter, eerie and hazy.
All scenes or people within were completely covered by the thick black mist, making it impossible for outsiders to see clearly.
Just then.
A furious and piercing voice suddenly erupted from within the layers of black mist.
The mist was instantly stirred, rolling everywhere, creating a grand phenomenon.
After a moment, the roar abruptly stopped, and the black mist returned to stability.
“Soul Venerable, why so agitated, what happened?” Immediately, a booming voice sounded.
“One of my souls died.”
“Died?” The booming voice sounded incredibly surprised, quickly asked: “Which soul?”
“Xuanwu.” The person referred to as Soul Venerable’s voice gradually regained calm.
“Necessary sacrifices are always unavoidable, besides, among your three souls, Xuanwu’s domination isn’t considered very important.” The owner of the other voice chuckled.
“Yu Venerable, you!” Soul Venerable’s voice, which had just calmed down, raised again.
These words were exactly what Soul Venerable used to “comfort” Yu Venerable after the fall of the Vermilion Bird, one of Yu Venerable’s three souls at Dragon City Pass.
Though it was called comfort, it was more of sarcasm.
Not fearing scarcity, but fearing unevenness.
Yu Venerable had been harboring resentment because one of his three souls fell at Dragon City Pass, and now seeing Soul Venerable also losing a soul, he immediately felt much better.
Feeling better was one thing, but he could distinguish the priority of matters, so he quickly sought to understand the situation, “How did Xuanwu die, who killed it?”
“If I remember correctly, wasn’t your Xuanwu soul heading to the Sword Sect Yi River Platform to destroy the Sword Sect’s Cross-Domain Teleportation Formation?”
“According to the report, the person guarding the formation at the Sword Sect’s Yi River Platform should be the Sword Sect’s Taibai Sword Master. How could he have the strength to kill you?”
Soul Venerable was silent for a moment, then a hoarse voice sounded, “I also don’t know.”
“But according to the soul’s return, Taibai Sword Master indeed killed me.”
“His sword possesses an extremely strange and powerful force, which with the strength of the Xuanwu soul, was completely unable to resist.”
Within the black mist, Yu Venerable frowned upon hearing this, falling into contemplation.
“The Sword Sect’s Peak Master is indeed extraordinary…” After a long time, Yu Venerable let out a sigh and murmured.
“The Vastness Peak Master ranks the last among the seven Peak Masters of the Sword Sect. He only recently broke through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm, and his current cultivation is just at the Fourth Tribulation Realm.
Yet even so, he has the ability to kill one of your souls?” He still found it hard to believe, “Even if Xuanwu is weak, it still has the strength of an Honorable Realm cultivator.”
Yu Venerable, having led the Rinsing Spirit Sect for so many years, naturally understood that within the Human Race, at the top tier of power, the Sword Sect is the strongest.
But he never imagined that a Sword Cultivator who just broke through to the Fourth Tribulation Realm could leap across ranks and devastate an Honorable Realm cultivator.
Even a Sword Immortal at the Fourth Tribulation Realm couldn’t achieve this, right?
It’s worth noting that the few Peak Masters of Sword Sect able to leap across ranks to devastate a Demon Lord all start with at least Sixth Tribulations Realm cultivation.
This is basic.
Without this level of cultivation, even if one’s Sword Dao is brilliant, it’s difficult to reverse ranks and attack.
Why could Li Qiubai use his Eighth Realm cultivation to repeatedly defeat Martial Emperors?
Besides having a Sword Dao that reached the heavens, he still had horrific Eight Tribulations cultivation as a basis, even after falling from Sword Immortal Realm to Tribulation Crossing Realm.
So, what qualification does the Vastness Peak Master have?
Soul Venerable and Yu Venerable were both puzzled.
“This Three Lives Sword Cultivator is truly extraordinary,” Soul Venerable murmured, “There must be some mysterious aspect that we don’t know.”
The Three Lives Body of the Vastness Peak Master wasn’t a big secret in front of these Taoist Sect high-level cultivators.
“So what should be done now?” Yu Venerable’s eyes flickered, “Even a single Peak Master is so hard to handle, recently there was news from the War Demon side that the Sword Sect has already resolved and is preparing to mobilize most of the sect’s power for a western expedition against Central Spirit.”
“These sword lunatics!” Soul Venerable cursed hatefully, then solemnly said, “Although the Sword Sect is strong, wanting one sect to subdue one race is just a fantasy.”
“Not to mention, Qingyun Sword Immortal is still stationed at Yumen Pass,” he sneered, “With this, there’s nothing to fear from the Sword Sect.”
“Apart from Qingyun Sword Immortal, the remaining Peak Masters, while also extraordinary, as long as they haven’t become Sword Immortals, in front of the remaining two souls of you and me, are merely fish and meat for us to knead, and what is there to fear?”
Xuanwu and Vermilion Bird were their two weakest souls, completely incomparable to their other two souls.
The two sovereign rulers of the Heart Demon race were engaging in conversation.
“It’s easy to say, but if we could destroy the Sword Sect’s Cross-Domain Teleportation Formation in time, we wouldn’t have to worry about this trouble,” Yu Venerable said regretfully.
“Unexpected events are always unavoidable,” Soul Venerable was extremely indifferent, continuing, “We have already given the Sword Sect ample attention, first by letting Hei Mang go with the illuminating soul to break the formation, and after he failed, I sent the Xuanwu soul out.
But even so, failing to take down the formation can only be blamed on fate.”
“This battle with Sword Sect appears to be destined.”
“Rinsing Spirit wants to replace Sword Sect as the strongest Taoist Sect for tens of thousands of years, but has always failed,” Soul Venerable chuckled darkly, “So this time, we’ll directly remove Sword Sect’s name as a fulfillment of Rinsing Spirit’s dream.”
