Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 218: Chapter 215: Taiyi Mountain’s Qian Yuan Sage Chapter 218: Chapter 215: Taiyi Mountain’s Qian Yuan Sage Taiyi Mountain, Golden Light Cave Heaven.

Amidst the peaks piercing the clouds, an imposing palace stood tall.

At this moment, above the main hall, an old man with snow-white hair and beard sat cross-legged.

This elder’s age was unknown, but his long white eyebrows hung down more than three feet.

On either side of the hall sat more than a dozen figures, each with a distinctive appearance and an aura so sharp it was terrifying.

Yet the hall was silent, and the faces of most were terribly grim.

After a long while, a Daoist in a robe, his complexion glossy and ruddy like a baby’s, snorted with anger, “I’ve said it before, when sending disciples into the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm, there was no need to talk about rules with other sects.

…

We should have sent a few true disciples directly, even replacing all disciples with those at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Then, how could the Beast Taming Sect have taken advantage?

Now look what’s happened, the Heavenly Pool Grotto Heaven has been seized by the Beast Taming Sect, and they even plan to use it as a foundation to turn that grotto heaven into a Void War Fortress for conquering the Otherworld.

Why are you all silent now?

Where has all that earlier enthusiasm gone?”

Upon hearing this, several people’s faces grew even uglier.

But one person couldn’t help but retort, “The reason we didn’t agree to do as you said was for fear that the other sects would discover our intentions.”

“It would have been discovered sooner or later, anyway.

What would be the difference if it happened a little earlier?

“The difference?

Sage Tianji, brother, don’t underestimate the other sects.

If we had really done as you suggested, boldly sending people in, do you believe that the sects within the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm would unite against Taiyi Mountain?

Just a slight misstep, and all our elite disciples could perish there, not to mention our plans would still fall through.”

A young Sword Immortal from a distance snorted coldly, “Although the strength of our Taiyi Mountain disciples is formidable, it’s not enough to take on an alliance of all sects.

If the other sects truly combined forces against us, it’s hard to count the losses, let alone succeed in the end.

Even if we did, the whole Southern Domain would boil with rumors.

Do you think we’d still have a chance to enter the Void to search for the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm?

At that time, many reclusive elders from the sects would emerge to monitor us.

Without mentioning others, the Beast Taming Sect’s Kongkong would definitely interfere.

With his insight into the Dao of Space, who among us could claim to elude him?

Moreover, if we really sent a large number of elite disciples to the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm as you suggest, our disciples, for the sake of expediency, would inevitably slaughter disciples from other sects.

Once that news got out, our Taiyi Mountain would become the enemy of the Southern Domain.

Even if we managed to obtain the Heavenly Pool Grotto Heaven then, what would it matter?

If we incurred widespread wrath, do you think Taiyi Mountain could withstand an attack from so many sects united?”

“What do we have to fear from them?

Whoever dares to cause trouble for Taiyi Mountain, I will cut them down with one sword.

Sage Wuji, if you are afraid, feel free to stay behind and guard the mountain gate,” Sage Tianji retorted, his temper clearly fiery, his words carrying a whirlwind of Sword Intent and a boiling killing intent.

“Heh…” The young Sword Immortal named Sage Wuji scoffed, “Junior brother, your temper hasn’t changed over the years, not in the slightest.

I admit your Sword Dao Cultivation is formidable, but you shouldn’t underestimate the cultivators of the other sects.

Let’s not speak of the immortals from the Beast Taming Sect and Five Poisons Sect, just consider the reclusive individuals from the hundreds of other sects.

How many can you deal with?

How many can our Taiyi Mountain confront?”

“We still have vassal sects, we still have allies we can rely on!” Sage Tianji argued stubbornly.

“Don’t count on those vassal sects to fight to the death for us when the time comes; that won’t happen.

Don’t even expect the Giant Spirit Sect to help us.

If it came down to it, it’d be a miracle if the Giant Spirit Sect didn’t stab us in the back.

Do you actually believe our alliance with the Giant Spirit Sect is that reliable?

Although those muscle-headed brutes act recklessly, they’re not fools.

They definitely won’t oppose so many Southern Domain sects for our sake.

If a siege by all sects was provoked, even if Taiyi Mountain could survive, we could only activate the Mountain Protection Array and strictly guard the Mountain Gate.

Our disciples would not dare to venture out for cultivation, our outer properties would be seized by others, and it would be even harder to recruit disciples.

Over time, Taiyi Mountain would grow weaker and weaker.

Considering this, do you think we could agree to your suggestion?”

“Hasn’t your plan failed as well?” Sage Tianji insisted stubbornly.

“Sigh!”

With a soft sigh, the young Sword Immortal spoke, “It was an accident, we did not expect such a thing to happen.

It seems that the Beast Taming Sect must have noticed something during our previous dispatches of disciples to explore, and that’s why they sent True Disciples into the Secret Realm to clandestinely observe what our people were doing there.

Originally, according to our strategy and preparations, even with this unexpected development, the Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven should not have been seized by them.

We would simply wait for the Secret Realm to open again in sixty years, and at that time, compete on the basis of our abilities.

But we did not anticipate that among the disciples the Beast Taming Sect sent in there would be someone skilled in the Array Dao, who actually set up a transportation array for positioning, which allowed that old fellow Kongkong to take the opportunity to seize the Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven.”

“Alright, alright, things have already turned out this way, what’s the use in talking about it now?”

Eventually, the White Eyebrow Sword Immortal, seated at the highest position, sighed softly and opened his mouth to stop these people’s arguing.

“Grandmaster, what should we do now?”

A red-robed female Sword Immortal below asked, “If we had secured the Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven, we could have developed peacefully for a few thousand years and gradually surpassed the Beast Taming Sect, but now that the Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven has been obtained by them, our plan has been disrupted and we have lost the opportunity to comprehensively overtake them.

Now the Beast Taming Sect is even planning to use that Cave Heaven as a War Fortress to amass a million cultivators to attack another world.

If they succeed, they will reap the resources of an entire realm.

I fear that within a thousand years, they could cultivate a large number of outstanding disciples, and their foundation will become stronger than ours.

This poses a great threat to us.”

As these words were spoken, the other Sword Immortals all cast their gazes toward the old man with the white eyebrows.

This elder, named Qian Yuan Sage, was an ancient being who became a Sword Immortal before the Ancient Great Tribulation, having survived the many years of brutal warfare without perishing, and instead, grew to a very high level during the extended strife lasting thousands of years.

After the Great Tribulation, Qian Yuan Sage single-handedly protected the Sect, building it up to its current strength.

The rest of the Sword Immortals, however, had all grown up under the protection of Qian Yuan Sage after the Ancient Great Tribulation.

Therefore, not only did all the disciples regard this Qian Yuan Sage as the Stabilizing Force of Taiyi Mountain, but these Sword Immortals present also held immense respect for the old Grandmaster, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

“Our current strategy must start from two aspects.”

Qian Yuan Sage spoke like an ordinary old man, his voice slow, but his reasoning clear and logical.

Countless years have worn away any impetuousness in his heart, allowing him to see the essence behind affairs at a glance.

“One is to find a way to eliminate the Beast Taming Sect while they are crusading in the Otherworld.

The other is to, like the Beast Taming Sect, consider how we can obtain resources from Outside and cultivate more disciples and Sect members.”

He slowly raised his head, glanced at the disciples seated on both sides of the great hall, and with a light sigh, said, “Actually, the first option is not advisable.

Even if the Beast Taming Sect’s defenses are slightly weakened during their Otherworld campaign, as long as the Jue Tian Ancestor does not join them and leave, we won’t be able to annihilate the Beast Taming Sect.

Moreover, during the Five Domains Alliance, when the future was discussed, Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan and several others said that all forces should lay aside their disputes for the time being, especially not to overstep when other Sects are campaigning against Outer realms.

With these Grandmasters setting the rules, it would be inappropriate for me to directly engage Jue Tian.

However, you may wait until their crusading army leaves and take the opportunity to dispatch some people or ask the vassal forces below to probe and see what the current strength of the Beast Taming Sect is like.

If we can significantly deplete their current strength, even if they win the war in the Otherworld, it would somewhat be a Pyrrhic victory for them.

In response to the probing by various forces, I suspect they will have two reactions.

At first, they will surely retaliate harshly to deter those who stretch out their hands in secret, showing their fiercest fangs to prevent others from harboring other thoughts.

If someone powerfully pulls out a few of their fangs at this time, they will at most reins in their influence and temporarily give up some benefits until the crusading army returns from the Otherworld, at which point they will thoroughly settle scores with any who dared to offend them.

Thus, do not allocate too many of our force’s resources to this matter.

It would be best to entice other forces to take advantage of the Beast Taming Sect’s territory, to present them with more adversaries.”

“Yes.”

The young Sword Immortal, Sage Wuji, responded, “Grandmaster, rest assured, I will handle this matter well.”

“Mm, you always handle affairs with organization.

The incident with the Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven is just an accident; don’t take it too hard.”

Qian Yuan Sage glanced at Sage Wuji, obviously very satisfied with the young Sword Immortal, “We may regret not obtaining that Cave Heaven, but with Taiyi Mountain’s foundation, even if the Beast Taming Sect wins the Otherworld war, they cannot comprehensively surpass Taiyi Mountain within a thousand years.

Furthermore, it is not certain that they will win.”

“That’s right.

After all, that’s an entire world, with plenty of powerful beings.

If the Jue Tian Ancestor is stationed at the Mountain Gate, they will not easily conquer that realm.

Even a slight mishap could lead to heavy losses for them.”

“Ha ha, if they lose a few Immortals in the Otherworld, even if they end up occupying that realm, they would likely suffer more than they gain.

Immortals cannot be cultivated merely through resources.”
