Chapter 298: Chapter 256: The 15-Year-Old "Child"! (Double Chapter)
After Gu Yuan accepted the task, everything became simple.
Sword Fox Immortal went forth to subdue the Iron-Producing Giant Demon clan, facing two Great Demons.
Master Biyun went to subdue the Primordial Crystal Crocodile clan, also facing two Great Demons.
Thus, all discussions were concluded.
Master Tiandou immediately rang the bell, announcing to the Daoist School that in one month, they would campaign against the Eight Rivers Alliance.
Within the Daoist School, many disciples cheered in unison, their excitement palpable.
The Daoist School was finally taking action!
In the grand hall, Master Tiandou waved his large sleeves, sending seven Jade Talismans to the hands of Gu Yuan and others.
"These are Celestial Sound Talismans refined by me using a Secret Seal. When you all attack the Demon Race, remember to prioritize your safety. Win if you can, retreat if you can’t; do not risk your life for pride!"
"If you encounter an insurmountable situation, activate the Sound Talisman immediately. Any fellow apprentices with remaining strength must rush to assist without a moment’s delay!"
"Otherwise, do not blame the sect rules for their ruthlessness!"
At the end of his speech, Master Tiandou’s face turned stern. Terrifying Mana surged from within him, and a faint, gargantuan Kun Beast shadow could be seen hovering behind him. The entire hall seemed submerged in a deep sea, with immense pressure shaking the surroundings.
Master Xuan Guang and Master Biyun both assumed solemn expressions and bowed respectfully.
Gu Yuan and others also cupped their hands in salute.
The Cyan Peak Daoist School has endured for many years, not without internal strife, but it remains unbroken, all because of the strict sect rules.
Master Xuan Guang tempting others with interests to seize positions is permissible.
Master Biyun’s discontent at Gu Yuan facing the stronger Black Water Infant Beast, hoping for his failure, is permissible.
It is natural for cultivators to contend; this is permissible.
But if someone schemes to take a Golden Core Cultivator’s life, ruining the school’s legacy with deadly intent, the sect rules will not show mercy.
"Go prepare, in one month, we march towards the Eight Rivers!"
Master Tiandou waved his hand, and everyone bowed in respect before leaving one after another.
Outside the grand hall, Master Xuan Guang was in high spirits, repeatedly thanking Gu Yuan and Master of Mount Jing.
Gu Yuan and his companion repeatedly expressed that they didn’t dare accept the gratitude.
"The Black Water Infant Beast is adept in poison, remember to be cautious. Here, I have a Detoxification Jade Talisman. It can detect changes in toxins within you. If the toxin invades, the talisman will darken. Wear it on you, and if it turns more than half black, activate the Sound Talisman immediately, and I will come right away!"
Sword Fox Immortal returned alongside Gu Yuan, her brows slightly furrowed, as she took out a white Jade Talisman and handed it to Gu Yuan, warning him with concern.
"Rest assured, Senior Sister, I am mindful of it!"
Gu Yuan’s heart warmed. He gazed into Sword Fox Immortal’s pink eyes, nodded, and smiled.
The she specifically chose to confront the Iron-Producing Giant Demon, closest to the Black Water Infant Beast, likely to facilitate assisting him.
Senior Sister is truly wonderful!
"You’re newly advanced to Golden Core, and though you’ve acquired the Sword Pill, your techniques are still few. You must act cautiously."
"Originally, the Profound Water Deer was your best choice for practice, but it’s infuriating that Su Yuanquan interfered. He’ll get what’s coming to him next time!"
Sword Fox Immortal sighed, her tone growing cold, evidently not forgetting the Su Family’s Master Biyun.
"It doesn’t matter; this is a good chance to test my skills."
Gu Yuan shook his head.
The reason he agreed to this task was precisely to test his own combat capabilities.
In five years, the Red Mist Secret Realm would reopen.
If he doesn’t want to miss this opportunity, he must have the means to deal with Tier Three Great Demons.
The Black Water Infant Beast is the best touchstone for this.
Moreover, when one reaches the peak of quiet, they yearn for movement. Sitting idle in the mountains offers no opportunity.
Stone Liquid, it has been a long time since he last found new discoveries.
...
...
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
A month passed swiftly.
Within the Daoist School, the bells tolled loudly, while all disciples were raring to go, excitement radiating from them.
Unlike the last campaign against Red Moon River, this time, the enthusiasm among the disciples was unprecedentedly high.
If speaking of greed, cultivators are the most greedy people in the world.
Those who covet immortality, once they have the notion, how can they not strive for it?
In the sky, eight Celestial Net Dharma Boats shone brightly, array patterns dazzling and brilliant, illuminating a fierce aura.
On the eighth Dharma Boat, more than ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators gathered, anxiously looking beyond the floating clouds.
"Senior Brother Ma, when will the Ascendant arrive? Can we really be allowed to enter the Soldier Fighting Hall?"
One of them, a Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, cautiously asked Ma Wu.
Ma Wu was different now.
He held the role of Vice Steward of the Soldier Fighting Hall at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, yet no one dared to disrespect him.
He is, after all, the first disciple under a Golden Core Ascendant!
Supported strongly by the Golden Core.
This is not about leveraging position; it’s about having exceptional foresight, investing in greatness!
"Fellow apprentices, there’s no need to hurry. Since the Ascendant has promised it, and the Thunder Technique can eliminate the drawbacks of Dharma Pills, naturally it’s true."
"As long as you all work diligently, and strengthen the Soldier Fighting Hall, the Ascendant will surely bestow Mysterious Techniques!"
Though Ma Wu appeared ordinary among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and his cultivation was average, he spoke with a touch of authority now.
Dharma Pill cultivation has significant drawbacks, with Demon Qi pervasive.
The disciples within the Daoist School were aware of this, but it did not diminish their enthusiasm for Dharma Pills.
The drawbacks can be eliminated, with Master Donghua as the best evidence.
If it doesn’t work, having a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation with a half-demon body isn’t that carefree?
Uniquely stylish.
Yet, Sword Fox Immortal had planned this long ago, and Gu Yuan’s Thunder Seal Technique was her best tool for nurturing a cadre.
Under Gu Yuan’s instructions, the Soldier Fighting Hall, through the "Forbidden Technique Thunder Spirit Evil-Breaking Seal," quickly gathered a vast number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, selecting the best among them, ultimately choosing a group of disciples with outstanding Magical Combat abilities as the core force.
