Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 1189: Chapter 714: Strategy

The answer is affirmative.

Now is not the time to take advantage of his illness to finish him, otherwise when he recovers, it will be he who comes after my life.

The enemy intends to devour the lives in Divine Land to heal his own Taoist injuries, with Wandao School also involved. The conflict between the two sides is irreconcilable, and the only option is a fight to the death — either he dies, or I perish.

Therefore, Xu Yang’s mind is made up; he must pursue the victory and completely eradicate this hidden danger.

But to achieve this goal, two issues must be resolved: first, how to locate the enemy’s whereabouts, and second, whether his strength can match the enemy.

The former goes without saying—if you can’t even find the person, how can you fight them?

There’s no need to elaborate on the latter either. A weak camel is still bigger than a horse; a Heavenly Immortal is a Heavenly Immortal after all. Despite being heavily wounded and barely alive, they are not someone ordinary people can challenge without sufficient strength. Even if the root cause is found, we cannot eradicate it.

How to solve these two issues?

Neither is easy to resolve!

In the lands of Divine Land, vast and boundless, with Heavenly Secrets in complete disarray, even with Xu Yang’s current cultivation, he cannot deduce the root cause’s location using the Heavenly Secret Technique. He can only investigate bit by bit.

Xu Yang even suspects that the reason why the Heavenly Secrets of Divine Land are so chaotic is precisely the doing of that turbulent root cause, possibly even involving the power of a Golden Immortal. Otherwise, given his own external assistance and his proficiency in the Supreme Dao, it should not be possible for him to be so clueless.

With Heavenly Secrets deducing proving impractical, the only choice left is to investigate bit by bit.

Fortunately, he is not entirely without a clue. Divine Land contains numerous “forbidden zones,” which are either lethal secret realms left from Ancient Times or terrifying areas caused by demon stars falling and land submersion in Divine Land. These places have chaotic spacetime where even a True Immortal might get lost. They are extremely dangerous.

These areas have always been considered by people as the whereabouts of that chaotic root cause. Xu Yang can now proceed to gradually excavate and inspect each one.

In fact, he’s not the only one who has had this idea; the Three Great Sects and various Emperors who achieved Dao throughout the ages have also explored these forbidden zones. However, for some reason, these explorations always ended without any results or news, and the Three Great Sects, as well as the various Imperial Dynasties, remain tight-lipped about it, extremely taboo.

But this cannot stop Xu Yang. Attacking these forbidden zones is an imperative strategy, and the following strategic direction of Wandao School will revolve around this area.

This is one aspect.

As for the second…

How to contend against such a Heavenly Immortal?

Xu Yang did not speak, merely closing his eyes and feeling the power of heaven and earth, as if holding great authority.

Xuanyuan!

This is the greatest benefit Xu Yang has received since establishing his sect.

Throughout history, the present life’s main body has always had one significant flaw—that is, the inability to acquire Heavenly Dao Merit to forge the true Nine Rituals Heavenly Sword, which made the Nine Instruments Holy Method lack its core and hinder its full power. Even if the cultivation level is equivalent, the combat power is still weaker than the few divisions in Earth Immortal Realm, Azure Star Realm, and Mystic Yellow Realm.

But now this deficiency has been remedied. After establishing the Human Sect, Xu Yang successfully obtained a “Heavenly Dao Loan.” With merit bestowed and Qi Fortune added to him, he used Xuanyuan as the treasure that protects the sect, tying it to the Human Sect’s Qi Fortune. As the sect prospers, so does it; if the sect suffers, so does it.

This allowed Xuanyuan, which was originally a Ninth Order Immortal Treasure, to transform and ascend to the Tenth Order Realm, becoming a Treasury of Merit, intertwined with the Qi Fortune of the Human Sect, becoming a true Nine Forms Saint Sword, which is not inferior to the Extreme Dao Weapons painstakingly crafted by those Peak Emperors; in fact, it is even more superior.

Normally, an Earth Immortal, after reaching the peak in their Dao, prioritizes refining their Lifebound Immortal Treasure, also known in Divine Land as Extreme Imperial Weapons.

Such Lifebound Treasures, woven with principles and laws, require rigorous refinement by an Earth Immortal to achieve and are typically unique, representing the second life of an Earth Immortal. They can also serve as a Second Primordial Spirit, an External Incarnation with numerous advantages and infinite uses.

An Earth Immortal with a Daoist Soldier and one without are qualitatively different, with a difference as vast as between heaven and earth.

But such a Heavy Weapon, as one can imagine, is difficult to refine. It not only requires various rarities from heaven and earth but also consumes massive amounts of energy and time. Describing it as pouring one’s heart and soul into it is not an exaggeration, and even that may not fully convey the extent of effort involved.

With such a Heavy Weapon, Xu Yang has now achieved it in one leap, saving untold amounts of heavenly and earthly rarities and time and energy.

This is the advantage of founding a sect, and no wonder even Heavenly Immortals long for it.

With the Holy Sword completed, leaving no flaws, and recognized as the Supreme of the Human Sect, aligning with Heavenly Destiny and harmonizing with the people’s heart, with Merit added and Qi Fortune protecting, enjoying the treatment of “Heaven and Earth Main Character” and the boost from “External Assistance”…

Xu Yang’s current strength has already exceeded the limits of the Earth Immortal Realm. Even when facing a Heavenly Immortal, he can still hold his own, no longer the defenseless fish on the chopping block to be slaughtered at will.

Thus, he has full capability to explore various forbidden zones, unearth that source of turmoil, and battle it.

But just that is not enough.

Some things, if not left undone, must be done thoroughly!

With the weight of Mount Tai pressing on eggs, like a lion hunting a rabbit, accomplishing it all in one battle.

This way, it’s secure and the Righteous Path.

This is also why he called for all True Immortals and Cultivators from all over to come and listen to his lecture.

In the upcoming period, Wandao School will prepare for war, consolidating both internal and external resources, from top to bottom, and through his “Daoist Teachings” increase its strength, finally deploying troops to attack the major forbidden zones, confronting that source of turmoil at their peak state.

Besides, with the establishment of the Human Sect, as time progresses, with the promotion and implementation of its teachings, it will surely gain more Qi Fortune Merit, benefiting both him and the overall sect significantly. The longer it drags on, the stronger their power becomes.
