Chapter 1956 Many years later, the current situation of True Monarch Mingxiang!
Struggling means hesitation;
Hesitation means he has lost his last vestige of madness.
They no longer have the courage to fight to the death.
Moreover, although the [Supreme Venerable Holy Sect] outwardly claims to be a holy sect, in the cultivation world, who doesn't know that the [Supreme Venerable Holy Sect] is in fact a demonic sect?
Ruthless and unscrupulous in their actions.
As cultivators of the demonic sect, they have always adhered to the principle of "every man for himself," and generally regard self-interest as the highest principle.
It is possible to sacrifice others.
It is possible to sacrifice the sect.
Can sacrifice everything
But I would never sacrifice my own life.
Therefore, as long as this Supreme Elder of the Supreme Holy Sect hesitates...
Therefore, it's only a matter of time before he compromises.
as predicted,
A short while later, the Supreme Elder of the [Supreme Venerable Sect], whose gaze had been shifting between light and shadow and whose heart was in turmoil, slowly raised his head, gazing at the group of Half-Venerables. The gloom on his face gradually faded, replaced by a trace of helplessness and resentment.
He spoke slowly, his voice hoarse:
"I admit defeat!"
However, if you want me to hand over the sect's secrets, that's fine, but it must be handed over to the guild master in my presence.
I will not hand it over to any of you.
Obviously,
He was not at ease with these members of the cultivator association who were at the semi-saint level.
Because he knew perfectly well how rich the resources of the [Supreme Venerable Sect] were, including not only massive amounts of cultivation resources, ancient cultivation techniques, sect-protecting supernatural powers, and top-tier treasures, but also countless talismans, elixirs...
An ordinary half-saint cultivator would surely be filled with greed and envy upon seeing this.
What if these semi-saints harbor ill intentions and, after he hands over his sect's secrets, deliver a fatal blow, killing him to silence him and leaving no witnesses...?
Wouldn't he be losing a fortune?
As long as he retains the sect's resources, he will still have the ability to threaten these half-Venerables.
These semi-saints dared not easily attack him, nor did they dare to harbor evil intentions.
In an instant,
Numerous pros and cons flashed through his mind.
Ultimately, he made this decision—
Entrusting the sect's secrets to the guild leader in person
This way, one can save their own life.
This also helps prevent these semi-respecters from coveting it and avoids accidents.
Upon hearing this, the half-saints of the cultivator association frowned and hesitated.
They all understood that the Supreme Elder's request, though seemingly reasonable, actually concealed hidden risks.
Then,
As soon as the thought crossed their minds, their divine thoughts intertwined, and they began to discuss it in secret, not daring to express their opinions easily.
"Absolutely not!"
A divine thought of a half-saint resounded in everyone's minds, its tone solemn.
"This person definitely still holds a treasure that threatens us. If he suddenly attacks us and becomes hostile, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
If we agree to his request and take him to see the chairman, unexpected things are bound to happen along the way.
"That's true, but if we don't agree, this demon might very well take extreme measures and perish with us, thinking of mutual destruction."
Another half-saint's divine sense spoke up, his tone tinged with helplessness.
"He's already at his wit's end. If we push him any further, he might really do something crazy."
Even if we manage to kill him, it will come at a considerable cost, making it a losing proposition.
"this···"
A silence fell over the crowd. On one hand, there was the risk of an outbreak occurring midway; on the other, the cost of mutual destruction.
For a time,
They also found it difficult to make a decision.
"Why don't we agree to his offer?"
At this moment, the divine thought of the Blazing Sun Half-Venerable resounded, his tone calm and resolute.
"As long as a fellow Daoist holds the jade talisman given by the guild leader and keeps a close eye on him, once he makes any unusual move, he can immediately activate the jade talisman to kill him."
With the jade talisman in hand, he would certainly not dare to make any rash moves.
They dared not act rashly.
“That’s right, Fellow Daoist Chiyang is right.”
A half-saint echoed,
"With the jade talisman as a deterrent, even if he had the greatest courage, he wouldn't dare to act rashly."
As long as we keep a close watch on things throughout, there shouldn't be any unexpected problems.
"Okay, then let's agree to his request!"
After a brief discussion, the group of semi-saints...
They eventually reached a consensus to agree to the other party's request, take him to see the guild leader, and make him hand over the sect's secrets in person.
Just as the group of half-saints finished their discussion, the Supreme Elder of the [Supreme Venerable Sect], who was surrounded in the center, saw that the group of half-saints from the Cultivator Association were silent and knew that they were secretly discussing something.
However, he was not in a hurry.
He believed that these half-saints from the monk associations would definitely agree to his condition.
Because they had no better choice.
They dare not force themselves to their deaths.
I don't want to pay too high a price either.
After a few breaths,
The Blazing Sun Half-Saint took a step forward and spoke:
"We agree to this condition!"
However, I would like to remind you once again, fellow Daoist, if you do anything along the way that might cause us to misunderstand?
Or is there any unusual activity?
Don't blame us for immediately activating the jade talisman and killing you.
Upon hearing this,
The Supreme Elder of the [Tai Zun Holy Sect] was not surprised by this.
He nodded slowly, his tone calm:
"Can!
Since I have made a promise to you, I will not easily go back on my word.
As long as you don't force me, I won't do anything unusual.
see,
One of the half-saints no longer hesitated, took out a communication jade talisman, and with a slight movement of his lips, a refined voice condensed into a beam and disappeared into the jade talisman.
Soon,
A golden streak of light rushed in from the horizon.
It was the warship that had just retreated.
The warship was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye it arrived in front of everyone and slowly hovered in mid-air.
Then, surrounded by a group of semi-respective figures...
The Supreme Elder of the [Supreme Venerable Sect] slowly stepped into the warship.
The so-called "crowd" is actually a group under strict surveillance.
A group of half-saints surrounded him, their auras locked tightly around him, not daring to relax their guard in the slightest.
As the intricate patterns on the warship's surface lit up, a deep hum reverberated through the void.
Then the warship transformed into a dazzling golden streak and disappeared rapidly into the horizon.
And a similar scene...
This is also happening one after another in the semi-saint teams heading to various parts of the cultivation world.
Those powerful cultivators who lurked in the shadows were either captured by the Half-Saint team or...
Either you get killed on the spot!
···
Another half month has passed in the blink of an eye...
The world of cultivation seems to still be turbulent, but compared to the previous rampant chaos of reverse cultivation, there is a sense of calm after a period of settling down.
Over the past two weeks, the Cultivator Association's campaign to purge rebel cultivators has been in full swing.
The fighting on the front lines has not yet ceased, and every inch of air is filled with an atmosphere of intertwined spiritual energy and killing intent.
this day,
The sky was clear and the air was fresh, with a light mist of spiritual energy lingering above Zhenhai Immortal City.
At the very heart of the Immortal City, in the heavily guarded headquarters of the Cultivator Association, the spiritual energy was so dense it was almost condensed into dew.
A faint protective array surrounded its body.
As the array patterns flowed, they isolated the outside world from all noise and prying eyes.
Deep within a sprawling, still slowly taking shape palace complex...
An ancient and simple hall, entirely constructed of dark black jade, stands quietly.
Outside the main hall, a subtle ripple suddenly appeared in the void.
A dark shadow appeared out of nowhere, like a ghost, without any warning.
As if it had never existed.
His aura was completely contained, obscuring and difficult to discern, as if he had merged with the surrounding void.
Even if a Nascent Soul stage cultivator brushed past him, they might not even notice his presence.
Only the faint hint of a half-saint's aura proved his extraordinary status.
The figure in black was slender and graceful, her black robe trailing on the ground, outlining her beautifully curvaceous figure.
Though shrouded in shadow and unable to see her face clearly, it was not difficult to discern that this enigmatic and unpredictable cultivator was not a man, but a woman.
next moment,
The shadowy aura surrounding her slowly faded, revealing a faint glimmer of spiritual light.
Like a thin mist being lifted, a delicate and exquisite face slowly revealed itself—
Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes like autumn waters rippling across the surface, her skin as white as snow, her lips as red as cinnabar, and her demeanor was cool and aloof.
It possesses the otherworldly, ethereal quality of a cultivator.
It also carried a certain air of authority, as if someone had long held a high position and wielded covert power.
But deep within those almond-shaped eyes lay a subtle sharpness and vigilance.
This female cultivator has a very special identity—
She was not only a direct disciple of the former Zhenhai Alliance's Zongbao Venerable, but her cultivation was also unfathomable.
He was also the mentor of an old friend, and he was in charge of a celestial city, where he was respected and known as the True Lord Mingxiang.
Furthermore, he possesses a little-known, secret identity—
The head of the Shadow Department, which secretly monitors all directions and oversees criminal investigations within the Cultivator Association.
Do not!
To be precise, it's no longer the "Shadow Division." Several years ago, Cheng Buzheng exceptionally promoted the "Shadow Division" under her command to the "Shadow Palace."
Their status is on par with other hall-level members of the association, and they are directly under the vertical jurisdiction of the president.
And the root of all this...
This is all because True Monarch Mingxiang has broken through the shackles of the late Nascent Soul stage and successfully entered the Half-Saint realm, becoming one of the few Half-Saint powerhouses in the cultivation world.
They also possessed the strength to take charge of a palace.
Obviously,
In recent years, True Monarch Mingxiang's cultivation has made astonishing progress.
Such speed is extremely rare, even in the world of cultivation where talent abounds.
Of course, this is also because Cheng Buzheng provided a great deal of support.
Not only did it bestow upon her the innate qi and earth's turbid energy that were perfectly suited to her cultivation, but it also...
He also bestowed upon him an unparalleled secret method for fusing these two primal forces.
otherwise.
She may not be able to break through the bottleneck so smoothly and enter the realm of half-saint.
Just as Mingxiang's semi-elder figure stabilized and her aura began to slightly manifest...
As if sensing her presence, the protective array in front of her suddenly emitted a soft spiritual light, and a gate about ten feet high slowly appeared.
Runes flowed above the portal, emanating a gentle yet irresistible aura.
This was the passage that the great formation had specially opened for her.
at the same time!
The tightly closed palace doors, engraved with defensive runes, slowly opened by themselves without making a sound.
It was as if they had been waiting for a long time, silently welcoming her arrival.
"Enter!"
A steady, deep voice came from inside the open palace doors.
Without the slightest fluctuation, it possessed an innate air of authority.
It seemed to have the power to awe people.
A single, simple sentence was enough to instill awe in the top experts of the cultivation world.
This is the foundation of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
see,
Without the slightest hesitation, Mingxiang Half-Venerable, clad in a black robe, stepped into the main hall with a glimmer of spiritual light around her and a figure as light as a willow catkin.
Just as her figure completely entered the main hall,
The manifested array portal dissolved on its own, turning into specks of spiritual light that dissipated into the air.
It was as if it had never existed;
The open palace doors slowly closed, returning to their original state. The thick black iron and array patterns intertwined, completely isolating the inside and outside of the palace.
The moment Mingxiang, the Half-Venerable One, stepped into the main hall...
The previously empty jade throne on the high platform suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
As the light faded, a figure appeared out of thin air and sat steadily on the throne.
Cheng Buzheng sat upright on the high platform, his gaze calmly fixed on the half-zun Mingxiang below, exuding an imposing aura without anger.
It was as if he could see through all her thoughts.
Immediately,
Mingxiang, a half-venerable, quickly concealed all her aura, her expression becoming even more respectful. Facing the high platform, she bowed slightly, performing a standard cultivator's salute.
The voice was respectful and steady, without the slightest slackening:
"Your subordinate greets the Guild Master!"
Her tone revealed both reverence for the Nascent Soul cultivator.
There was also gratitude for Cheng Buzheng's recognition and support.
There was also an unspeakable sense of vigilance.
Upon hearing this,
Seated on his throne, Cheng Buzheng slowly raised his hand, then waved it away, his tone calm yet carrying a profound meaning:
"No need to be so polite with me, the president!"
"Since I have appointed you as the Lord of the Shadow Palace, I am naturally grooming you as a trusted confidant. There's no need for such formalities; just relax."
His gaze fell on Mingxiang Banzun, carrying a mixture of scrutiny and approval.
In his view, Mingxiang, a half-venerable, was calm, powerful, and a close confidant, making him the perfect candidate to take charge of the Shadow Palace and oversee all directions.
however,
Mingxiang Banzun maintained his respectful posture, his back slightly bent, showing no sign of relaxation, and his tone became increasingly firm:
"Thank you for your trust and guidance, Chairman!"
Your subordinates swear to serve the Chairman to the death, even at the cost of their lives.
We will never let the president down!
She knew all too well that serving a ruler was like serving a tiger, let alone facing an unfathomable Nascent Soul cultivator like Cheng Buzheng.
Only by maintaining a sense of awe can one gain a foothold.
Even if Cheng Buzheng showed affection, she dared not slack off in the slightest.
Seeing Mingxiang, the half-venerable one, in such a state, a hint of helplessness flashed in Cheng Buzheng's eyes.
There was no longer any intention to put the other person at ease—
He knew that Mingxiang, having held secret power for many years, had developed a cautious and prudent nature, and it would be no easy task to truly make her lower her guard.
Immediately, he composed himself, his tone becoming somewhat listless, and went straight to the point:
"All right!
"Let's skip the pleasantries. What brings you to see me, the president?"
Immediately,
Without hesitation, Mingxiang, the half-venerable one, spoke directly, her tone still respectful, but with a hint of solemnity:
"Reporting to the Guild Master, the remnants of the rebellious cultivators who were hiding throughout the cultivation world have been utterly routed thanks to the all-out efforts of all fellow cultivators in the Association, and the campaign is now in its final stages."
It won't be long before all the remnants of the anti-reformist faction are completely wiped out.
