But in response to Lin Xuankong’s inquiry, Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, despite the hatred burning in his heart, still couldn’t bring himself to lie. Of course, it was also possible he simply didn’t dare.
"Tributor Mu, an oath sworn on the Immortal Path can be said to be the most solemn oath for us cultivators!" Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect said.
He glared at the Grand Elder of the Five Elents Immortal Sect, the Five Elents Wanderer, and continued, "If it were ordinary mortals, they would naturally swear by the na of deities, as that would be the most solemn. This is because if an ordinary mortal swears by a deity, they might attract the attention of supernatural beings. If sothing were to go wrong then, how could mortals possibly resist!
For cultivators who have reached the Earth Immortal Realm, swearing by deities or supernatural beings holds almost no binding power. While those legendary deities and supernatural beings can penetrate the realm barrier and project a certain amount of power, that projected power can hardly affect beings above the Initial Tier Earth Immortal Realm!
However, for any cultivator who wishes to advance on the Immortal Path, the heart of Cultivation is paramount!
Among the various Celestial Tribulations cultivators encounter, the most perilous is the Heart Tribulation. It is said that since ancient tis, over countless eons, any cultivator who encounters a Heart Tribulation will have their Divine Soul utterly annihilated, with absolutely no chance of survival!
And if a cultivator swears an oath by the Immortal Path and then violates it, this will undoubtedly affect their next Celestial Tribulation, causing it to transform into a Heart Tribulation!"
Hearing this, Lin Xuankong’s furrowed brow relaxed slightly. He turned to look at the forty-six Earth Immortals of the Five Elents Immortal Sect.
"So, you’re saying that since these forty-six Earth Immortals have already sworn by the Immortal Path, as long as they wish to continue their Cultivation, they would surely not dare to break their oaths? Otherwise, they would invariably die under a Celestial Tribulation?"
Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect nodded. "Indeed, that is the case!"
After a mont’s thought, he added, "Of course, one cannot rule out those who are suicidal enough to brazenly violate their oaths! Or, there might be those who decide to abandon Cultivation entirely, never to face another Celestial Tribulation, and simply wait for death!"
Once Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect had spoken, the expressions of the forty-six Earth Immortals from the Five Elents Immortal Sect all changed.
The leading Grand Elder, the Five Elents Wanderer, his face bitter, cupped his hands towards Sect Leader Li and said, "Sect Leader Li, our Five Elents Immortal Sect did indeed damage the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect’s Sect Protection Array earlier and caused the deaths of so of your disciples. For these matters, the Five Elents Immortal Sect will absolutely pay a sufficient price. We will ensure that Sect Leader Li and our fellow cultivators of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect are satisfied!"
After speaking, the Grand Elder of the Five Elents Immortal Sect respectfully cupped his hands towards Lin Xuankong. "Tributor Mu can rest assured. As cultivators, how could any of us be willing to simply wait until our Lifespan is exhausted? No Earth Immortal would want their Cultivation of thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, to co to naught overnight!
Since these forty-odd fellow practitioners of our Five Elents Immortal Sect have already sworn to follow Tributor Mu’s lead from this day forward, they will certainly comply. There is absolutely no possibility of defiance!"
As soon as the Grand Elder of the Five Elents Immortal Sect finished speaking, the forty-odd Earth Immortals of the Five Elents Immortal Sect imdiately began to clamor in agreent:
"We pledge to follow Tributor Mu’s lead! Whatever Tributor Mu commands, we will brave any peril and never retreat!"
"May Tributor Mu’s Cultivation advance swiftly, becoming an Initial Tier Earth Immortal of the Six Paths Golden Core!"
"We, the Little Earth Immortals of the Five Elents Immortal Sect, are honored to beco Tributor Mu’s Immortal Servants!"
"Tributor Mu is destined for more than just becoming an Initial Tier Earth Immortal of the Six Paths Golden Core! Attaining the Ninth-Grade Earth Immortal realm is an expected, certain, and effortless achievent for Tributor Mu in the future!"
These Earth Immortals of the Five Elents Immortal Sect now flattered Lin Xuankong with a surprising, shaless fluency. They had evidently cast aside all their reservations and the ’pride’ of Immortals, hoping only that Lin Xuankong would relent and spare their lives.
