Flowing Cloud went out for a bit and returned, handing two Tokens to Carson Flores.
"These are replacents from those two families, they’re even more powerful..."
Carson was taken aback: "What do you an by more powerful?"
Flowing Cloud chuckled and explained, "Last ti you encountered Ghost True Sage and used the Token to summon us, but the three of us couldn’t take him down, which made everyone feel a bit embarrassed."
"Ghost True Sage didn’t die, so he’ll definitely hold a grudge against you and will surely find a way to retaliate. If he cos for revenge next ti, or if you face an even more formidable enemy, summoning the three of us won’t help either, right?"
"The Formation on the Token directly connects to the person who made it, you can summon whoever’s Token it is, not that you can summon countless people with one Token."
"The previous Tokens were from Cyrion Pathist and Profound Power Monk. They felt disgraced, and with the Three Sects battling the Sea God Sect this ti, each sent their top experts, so they replaced them for you. The new Tokens are now bound to Heavenly Light Pathist from Fiction and Heavenspire Monk from Dharma."
"In terms of positions and notoriety, they might not surpass Cyrion and Profound Power, but they are the old-tirs of Dharma and Fiction, the kind that are kept in reserve for critical tis. They’re much stronger than Cyrion and Profound Power, so next ti if you encounter Ghost True Sage again, you won’t need to waste three Tokens; one will suffice."
Flowing Cloud paused, glanced at Floating Cloud, and laughed: "Of course, if you ask your master to step in, that’ll be more than enough, you won’t even need to waste this favor, and can keep it as a backup."
Carson tilted his head to look at his new master and smiled: "Master, if you face Ghost True Sage, can you crush him?"
Floating Cloud grinned: "I might not be able to utterly crush him, but I can certainly defeat him, and he won’t be able to escape."
Losing, yet unable to escape?
What does that result imply?
Dead end, obviously.
Carson felt quite excited all of a sudden, almost hoping Ghost True Sage would co looking for trouble soon so that his new master could completely deal with him.
Cultivators with vast Divine Skills, magical treasure with unique functionalities, and various Talismans and such, if outmatched, they would flee; everyone would have nurous escape thods prepared, which is most crucial.
Losing isn’t terrifying; what’s terrifying is losing and not being able to escape!
Even though Floating Cloud had taken on a disciple and felt quite happy, he still tapped the table lightly: "Let’s put Carson’s matter aside for now and discuss the upcoming contest."
Flowing Cloud smiled: "Anyway, the rules have been set, Profound River, Wyland, and Profound Clarity will each fight one of their First-generation Disciples, while you, Heavenly Light Pathist, and Heavenspire Monk will face their Sect Leader-level experts. Dharma’s representative will take on their strongest contender."
Flowing Cloud paused and softly said: "It’d be best if we could win the first six battles straight; if it cos to the seventh battle, regardless of victory or loss, if anything happens to ’that one’, it would be a headache."
Next to him, Loryn coldly snorted: "That one is indeed astonishing, but his situation, alas, sending him here by Dharma might be a mistake or a wise move."
Flowing Cloud smiled bitterly: "Can’t be helped, in terms of sheer prowess, he’s indeed stronger than us, perhaps the foremost of the Three Sects, but if he’s in a normal state it’s fine, if he..."
Flowing Cloud didn’t finish his sentence, glancing toward Dharma’s camp as if worried soone might overhear.
Floating Cloud furrowed his brow: "It’s all about winning, after all, the Sea God Sect dominates the North Sea, boasting nurous strong mbers; if the Sea God himself acts, we won’t likely withstand it. So taking a bit of risk for victory is worth it. Besides, this is the North Sea..."
Flowing Cloud nodded, seemingly with relief in his eyes: "Right, this is the North Sea, even if sothing happens for real, we’d still have a point."
Carson was listening on the side, completely puzzled with a dazed expression.
The Dharma’s ’that one’?
Who?
Why are they not ntioning nas, playing riddles one after another?
Floating Cloud noticed Carson’s bewildered expression and explained: "When one’s strength reaches a certain Realm, no matter where you are, as long as you ntion their na, they can sense it and glance at you through the void."
"To avoid unnecessary trouble, everyone subliminally avoids ntioning these nas during discussions, that way they won’t sense it, reducing unwanted issues."
Carson widened his eyes, murmured: "The unspeakable?"
Floating Cloud nodded: "Precisely, from now on be cautious, if you ever interact with such beings, mind your words carefully."
Carson couldn’t help but ask, "This powerful, could they perhaps be of the legendary Saint Realm?"
Floating Cloud explained: "Saints possess the capability to connect heaven and earth, unviewable, unspeakable, that’s fundantal. However, as for Dharma’s ’that one’, they definitely aren’t Saints, but due to the uniqueness of their Divine Skills, even if they haven’t reached the Saint Realm, they possess those Saint-like powers..."
