Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 82: Sword Master Raises His Sword in the Undying Sword City! The Four Guidelines!

Boom~

Following a loud explosion, the Tian Shui flying boat landed steadily on the square.

"Greetings, Senior Martial Brother, elders, senior brothers, and junior brother."

Chen Chang'an and Xuan Qingzi stepped off the flying boat and bowed to everyone.

"Haha, good, very good!"

The Grand Elder Li Xuan Dao burst into laughter and then approached Chen Chang'an, saying,

"Chang'an, with this journey, you have made a name for our Heavenly Water Sect."

"Are you alright?"

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Elder. I am fine," Chen Chang'an replied with a bow.

"Good, as long as you're fine."

"Let's go, let's quickly enter the main hall." Li Xuan Dao nodded, his eyes filled with admiration for Chen Chang'an.

"Yes, Senior Elder." Chen Chang'an nodded.

"Xuan Qing, you've worked hard on this trip." Li Xuan Dao turned his gaze to Xuan Qingzi.

If Chen Chang'an was the one who challenged Great Liang on this trip, then Xuan Qingzi was the one who faced the greatest pressure.

It wasn't easy.

Xuan Qingzi quickly bowed and said, "Master Uncle, it's what I should do."

"Moreover, most of the credit for this journey goes to Junior Brother Chen. I dare not take credit."

If it were any other time, after returning from such an important banquet, Xuan Qingzi would have boasted about his achievements.

But this time, after seeing Chen Chang'an coughing up blood, he felt that what he had done was not worth mentioning.

"Very well, you've all done a great job." Li Xuan Dao nodded.

"Let's go, let's all go to the main hall."

After that, led by Li Xuan Dao and others, the group quickly entered the sect's main hall.

Once in the main hall, the situation was actually quite simple.

It was nothing more than praising the difficulty of this journey and then having a group of mountain masters and elders analyze the events.

They would review all the causes and consequences that could be related to the matter, and analyze the pros and cons.

After the analysis, all the causes and consequences pointed to one point.

That was the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!

This was understandable. Chen Chang'an's powerful killing of the Heavenly Yuan Sword Immortal might make many forces with ulterior motives towards the Heavenly Water Sect hesitate.

However, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was definitely not included in this.

After all, they had killed a Transcendent Level elder of the Six Realms.

This grudge was as deep as the sea and couldn't be easily resolved.

Inside the hall, Li Daoran analyzed, "According to reliable information, when the news reached the Tian Shui region yesterday, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect also received the news."

"In less than half a day, a great Sword Master from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect arrived at the Undying Sword City, corresponding to the Nether Sea."

"This move is probably not a good sign!"

Upon hearing Li Daoran's words, everyone's hearts trembled.

The Undying Sword City was equivalent to the main artery of the Tian Shui region. It was located in the northernmost part of the Tian Shui region and was the only way to reach the Hengduan Mountains, the Yunmeng Marsh, the Yin Soil, the Central Plains, and the Samsara Sea.

Among them, the Yin Soil and the Central Plains were not a big deal.

The disciples of the Heavenly Water Sect didn't often go to these two places, so losing them wouldn't be a big loss.

But...

The Hengduan Mountains, the Yunmeng Marsh, and the Samsara Sea were different!

These three places had always been the best training grounds for the young disciples of the Tian Shui region and even the entire Formless World.

Their growth and cultivation resources were mostly obtained from these three places.

The disciples of the Heavenly Water Sect were no exception.

It could be imagined that if the Undying Sword City was cut off, it would be a terrifying blow to the next generation of disciples.

Not to mention catching up with their peers in cultivation.

Even in the same realm, they would definitely be weaker by several heads compared to others!

With this loss and gain, the future generation of the Heavenly Water Sect's prospects could be imagined.

While everyone was lost in thought, Li Daoran continued speaking,

"I think the reason why that great Sword Master from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect only came to the Undying Sword City instead of directly launching an attack on our Heavenly Water Sect is something you all should know."

Upon hearing Li Daoran's words, everyone present nodded.

This reason almost didn't need to be mentioned.

It was simply because that great Sword Master wasn't confident in defeating Chen Chang'an.

He was afraid of failure!

No one would mock him for being cautious.

After all, in the battle at the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, Chen Chang'an had displayed an unparalleled strength with just one move of his mouth, instantly annihilating a great Immortal Sword.

Such terrifying power, not to mention the Six Realms.

Even in the realm of the Seven Realms.

Few people could achieve it!

So, it was not wrong for him to be cautious.

However, the fact that the Sword Master from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect didn't make a move and instead stationed himself in the Undying Sword City was the most terrifying thing!

He didn't dare to easily make a move against Chen Chang'an.

But he also didn't need to.

After all, Chen Chang'an, despite his strength, had a fatal weakness.

He was not an immortal!

His lifespan was no different from an ordinary person's, with less than half a century left!

What was half a century to a Sword Master?

It was just a flick of a finger.

So, all he needs to do is slowly wear him down.

Just wait until Chen Chang'an gets old.

By then, it will be the time for him to settle this cause and effect.

This is a clear and naked strategy.

But, even if it's a clear strategy, so what?

No one can do anything to him.

At this moment, Li Daoran paused and continued to say,

"So, our current priority."

"Is to spare no effort to find the miraculous medicine for longevity for Chen Junior Brother."

"To extend his lifespan."

"This plan shall be the first rule of our Heavenly Water Sect!"

"Do any of you have any objections?"

"We need to reconsider."

Upon hearing Li Daoran's words, everyone present nodded in agreement.

No one had any objections.

"Master, elders, I think this is not appropriate!"

At this moment, Chen Chang'an spoke.

He took a step forward, bowed to Li Daoran and Li Xuandao, and then said,

"For the sect, I am willing to go out and fight to the death!"

Chen Chang'an's words were full of determination, resolute and powerful, as if he was ready to die.

When he said this, he clearly knew that this was a situation where death was certain, but his eyes were clear and bright.

"Junior Brother Chen, you?"

This made all the mountain masters and elders in the hall once again focus their gaze on Chen Chang'an.

Looking at that clean and handsome, slightly immature face, as well as his clear and bright eyes, he looked like a young man who was ready to die. They were once again captivated.

Who could have imagined that the kid who was always considered the most carefree and mischievous in the sect, causing trouble for others, would be like this today?

Willing to face the power of a seventh realm expert for the sake of the sect?

Everyone was amazed.

Regardless of anything else, just in terms of their feelings towards the sect, they believed that Chen Chang'an had surpassed any one of them.

"No, Junior Brother Chen, I absolutely disagree with your suggestion!"

Li Daoran firmly rejected Chen Chang'an's words as soon as he finished speaking.

"Chang'an, don't do something foolish."

At this time, the Elder Li Xuandao also spoke up.

He shook his head and advised.

His eyes were filled with endless worry.

Chen Chang'an could defeat a sixth realm Tianyuanzi in an instant, but he was absolutely unable to defeat a seventh realm Swordmaster.

A Swordmaster and a sixth realm Sword Immortal were completely different concepts!

To rashly go out would definitely bring more harm than good, with death but no life!

Li Xuandao continued to say,

"Chang'an, the situation is different now."

"The reason that old thief from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is stationed at the Undying Sword City is obviously to provoke you."

"And then assassinate you there!"

"You must not fall for his trap."

At this point, Li Xuandao continued to advise,

"The most urgent thing for you now is to go back and rest."

"And wait for the Patriarch to return."

"When the Patriarch returns, that old thief won't be able to cause much trouble."

Li Xuandao's words were extremely confident and reasonable.

Indeed, although the Heavenly Water Sect was weak, it was still a sect that had once possessed the foundation of a seventh realm.

Moreover, there was still the legacy of a seventh realm Patriarch in existence.

Although.

That Patriarch had not appeared for hundreds or even thousands of years, and the Heavenly Water Sect had not been in contact with him for thousands of years.

But, even though he was not present.

There were definitely still his hidden moves within the Heavenly Water Sect!

If there were no major disasters that could overturn the Heavenly Water Sect, then it would be fine. But if there were any catastrophes that could overturn the Heavenly Water Sect.

That Patriarch would definitely sense it and appear immediately!

This was also the reason why the Swordmaster of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect did not dare to enter the Heavenly Water Territory directly to seek revenge!

After all, just one Chen Chang'an was enough to make him feel a bit uncertain.

If there was also a Patriarch of the Heavenly Water Sect.

His defeat would be almost certain!

In this world, not everyone was as brave as the one from the Hall of Rebirth.

So brave, that he dared to single-handedly attack someone else's stronghold.

"Alright, then I will listen to the Elder's advice."

Chen Chang'an no longer insisted, but instead bowed and stood aside, listening to the continued discussion of the people in the hall.

After about half an hour, this discussion finally came to an end.

Four guidelines were ultimately decided:

First, give up the trials in the Hengduan Mountains, the Yunmeng Marsh, and the Samsara Sea.

Concentrate all the disciples' trials in the Endless Star Sea.

Although the opportunities there were a bit limited, it was still a good place for trials.

Second, everyone in the sect should prioritize finding the Immortal Pill and Confucian techniques that can prolong life.

First, extend Chen Chang'an's lifespan.

Not to mention pushing him to the Great Sage Realm, at least let him live for a hundred more years.

The third was to go all out to find the whereabouts of the Heavenly Water Patriarch.

The fourth was to mobilize the entire sect and force the elders who usually did nothing to teach the disciples.

Not only the disciples of this generation, but also the disciples of the previous generation must be taught.

No one should be left behind!
