Chapter 637: The Decision of the Sect of Infinite Boundaries
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After a long time.
Where the four individuals clashed, a gigantic black hole suddenly appeared.
Violent and chaotic energy surged within it.
Within hundreds of thousands of miles around, everything was turned into a desolate white land.
The spiritual Qi vanished, and all living beings were extinguished.
“Arghh!”
Luo Tianba suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
His entire body was covered with dense cracks.
Like cracked porcelain, it seemed as if a gentle touch would cause him to shatter at any moment.
The remaining Xiao Shencong and the person from Heaven’s Gate Sec, Daoist Shang Tong, were not much better off.
More or less, they had suffered some serious injuries.
“It’s unexpected, Heavenly Lord Scripture Abyss, not only is his cultivation nearing the fourth level of Soul Formation, but I also didn’t expect him to be so decisive.
This battle hadn’t lasted long, and he already chose to self-destruct.
If we hadn’t prepared for all contingencies in advance, you and I would be in an even worse state now.”
Daoist Shang Tong spoke with a slightly pale face.
Hearing his words, Xiao Shencong glanced at Luo Tianba and said,
“General Luo, why don’t you leave the rest to me and Fellow Daoist Shang Tong?
You’ve been injured consecutively this time. You should go back and recuperate first.”
Indeed.
Luo Tianba had first been seriously injured in the Northern Border by Shen Ruyan.
Now, rushing to the Southern Wilderness, he was almost killed by the self-destruction of Scripture Abyss.
If he had not used one of his trump cards at the critical moment, it would have been very difficult for him to continue standing here.
He didn’t try to be stubborn, and upon hearing this, he nodded.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll return to the Central Plain first.
The rest I leave in the capable hands of Second Prince and Daoist Shang Tong.”
Having said this, Luo Tianba no longer hesitated.
Ripples of space opened in front of him.
He disappeared from the spot.
Soon.
The news about the fall of Heavenly Lord Scripture Abyss, the destruction of the Supreme Celestial Sect, and the entire Southern Wilderness falling into the hands of the Eastern End and Central Plain spread throughout the entire Nine Essences Cultivation World.
Such a significant event immediately attracted high attention from both the Western Desert and Northern Border.
Especially the Sect of Infinite Boundaries.
Not long ago, they had received a message from the Central Plain.
They were given a choice to submit to the Great Ling Imperial Palace and accept their governance and orders.
This caused all of the cultivators of the Sect of Infinite Boundaries to feel angry and aggrieved, but they also felt an inexplicable sense of unease and fear.
After all, after the enemy occupied the cultivation world of the Southern Wilderness, the closest to them was the Western Desert.
If the Sect of Infinite Boundaries refused to comply, the consequences were predictable.
The forces of the Eastern End and Central Plain would definitely not tolerate the existence of the Sect of Infinite Boundaries.
Perhaps…
Not perhaps but most certainly, they would launch an attack to remove this thorn in the Western Desert.
At this moment.
In the meeting hall of the Sect of Infinite Boundaries.
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
More than ten Nascent Soul Perfected Lords were arguing and expressing their opinions.
Broadly speaking, their opinions were divided into two camps.
One camp believed that the Sect of Infinite Boundaries should maintain its interests and independence, and must not compromise with the Eastern End and the Central Plain.
The other camp believed that they should recognize reality.
It was impossible for the Sect of Infinite Boundaries to resist the alliance of the Eastern End and the Central Plain.
If they insisted on resisting, they would only end up becoming the second Supreme Celestial Sect.
At this moment.
At the head of the meeting hall, two Soul Formation ancestors who had not yet expressed their opinions, Dongfang Tianxing and Murong Xian, suddenly cleared their throats.
In an instant, the originally noisy hall immediately became silent.
Murong Xian looked at Dongfang Tianxing and smiled, saying,
“Husband, it’s best for you to decide on this matter.
Whatever the outcome, I will support you unconditionally.”
Just like Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
The two Soul Formation Ancestors of the Sect of Infinite Boundaries were also Dao companions.
After countless long years of cultivation and trials, they both finally reached Soul Formation.
This was a story often talked about in the past.
Hearing Murong Xian’s words, Dongfang Tianxing nodded slightly and then turned to the crowd, saying, “I already know your thoughts.
But have you considered one thing? If our sect completely surrenders and submits to the Great Ling Imperial Palace, will they then ask us to attack the Northern Border?”
With these words from Dongfang Tianxing, the expressions of many in the hall changed, as they already knew the answer: they would.
The Great Ling Imperial Palace, or rather, the major sects of the Central Plain and Eastern End, would definitely expect the Sect of Infinite Boundaries to lead the charge in an assault on the Northern Border.
This led to another question.
Was the Northern Border really that easy to deal with?
After all, everyone was clear about what had happened before.
The Eastern End and the Central Plain used a special method to send six Soul Formation Heavenly Lords to the cultivation world of the Northern border.
And what happened?
Three dead and three wounded.
This included Xiao Shenji and Wu Xin, two mid-stage Soul Formation cultivators.
Even Luo Tianba was almost at the fourth level.
Not to mention the fact that there were also three Heavenly Lords who were at the first and second level of the Soul Formation.
If such a lineup was used to attack the Sect of Infinite Boundaries…
Dongfang Tianxing and Murong Xian believed that they could not resist no matter what.
Yet in the Northern Border, these six were utterly defeated.
The three Soul Formation Heavenly Lords from the Eastern End died in battle.
Xiao Shenji and the others were left in a terrible state, injured and having to leave their Pure Yang treasures behind in the northern lands.
Most importantly, all this was due to just one person: Shen Ruyan, the consort of the Lord of the state of Jiang in the Northern Border.
She had just broken through to Soul Formation and already possessed such formidable power.
One could imagine how terrifying her strength would be if she was given a little more time.
Moreover, her Dao companion Jiang Chengxuan was also an extraordinary talent and a freak.
At the peak of Nascent Soul, he was able to battle three Heavenly Lords from the Eastern End simultaneously, buying enough time for his wife’s breakthrough.
Such an individual, once he also reached Soul Formation, would undoubtedly be as powerful as Shen Ruyan, if not stronger.
What would be the outcome if the Sect of Infinite Boundaries really clashed with them?
Everyone involuntarily felt a trace of fear in their eyes.
Clearly.
They had already realized that if they really had to go against the Northern Border, it would not be much different from going against the Eastern End and the Central Plain.
This was because be it the Northern Border, the Eastern End, or the Central Plain, they were all existences that the Sect of Infinite Boundaries could not contend with.
Therefore, it might be better to join forces with the Northern Border to see if they could collectively resist the Eastern End and the Central Plain.
At least in that way, the Sect of Infinite Boundaries could maintain its independence and not be subject to the control or restrictions of any party.
Upon hearing this, a middle-aged man named Tuoba Ye turned towards Dongfang Tianxing and Murong Xian, respectfully clasping his fists and saying,
“Ancestors, it seems that joining forces with the Northern Border is the only viable option for our sect.
May I suggest that I represent our sect to go to the Northern Border and discuss the alliance against the Eastern End and the Central Plain?”
His suggestion stirred the other cultivators present, and soon, seven or eight of them stood up, agreeing with Tuoba Ye’s proposal.
Seeing this, Dongfang Tianxing smiled.
He said, “I had already sent Xianlan to the Northern Border several years ago for this matter.
I will inform her of our decision and have her further negotiate with the Soul Formation forces there.”
“What? Junior Sister Shui has already gone to the Northern Border?”
The news took Tuoba Ye and the others by surprise.
Previously, they had thought that Shui Xianlan, Perfected Lord Glowleaf, and the others had disappeared because they had gone out to search for some fortuitous opportunity.
Unexpectedly, they went to the Northern Border.
Moreover, they kept it a secret so well that no one had found out about it.
As expected of their ancestors who had thought of all possibilities ahead.
For a moment, Tuoba Ye and the others looked at Dongfang Tianxing and Murong Xian with respect and admiration.
At this moment, Dongfang Tianxing said again, “Of course, this concerns the alliance of the two regions. Relying solely on Xianlan and the others is not sufficient.
After this, I will personally visit the Northern Border to discuss the matter in more detail.”
At the same time.
Mount Mystic Tai of the Jiang family.
At this moment, the range of Mount Mystic Tai had already expanded to thousands of kilometers from its original foundation.
It included the super-large spiritual stone mine, the Level 6 spiritual vein, and the trial ground.
It was also at this moment that Jiang Chengxuan sensed that the opportunity to advance to Soul Formation had arrived.
He did not hesitate at all.
After informing Shen Ruyan of the situation, he used the special cultivation space that the system had given him.
At this time, news of the Southern Wilderness being completely occupied by the Eastern End and Central Plain, and the destruction of the Supreme Celestial Sect had already reached their ears.
Jiang Chengxuan knew very well that in the future, the entire cultivation world of the Nine Essences would definitely enter an extremely chaotic situation.
In the outside world, he no longer had that much stable cultivation time.
Therefore, he had to use the special cultivation space rewarded by the system.
This way, he could buy enough time for himself to advance to Soul Formation without anyone knowing.
Buzz!
As the special cultivation space opened,
Jiang Chengxuan immediately realized that he had entered a small world with extremely dense spiritual Qi.
Here, not only would the efficiency of cultivation double, but even the comprehension of spells and divine powers would be enhanced to a certain
extent..
