Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
In front of the Taibai Sword Master of the Fourth Tribulation Realm, the Ninth Grade Sky Roc was like a toy, allowing him to ravage it without the slightest chance of resistance.
Sword scars appeared on its unparalleled physical body.
There aren’t many things that can see through the physical bodies of Body Cultivators and Demon Beasts as if they were nothing, but the sword in the hand of a Sword Cultivator is one of them.
Slash!
Another sword cut across the belly of the Sky Roc.
It scread miserably, its intestines and organs about to spill out, blood gushing.
Whoosh!
Another sword trajectory sliced through the air, like the dividing line of heaven and earth, the tangible manifestation of the Great Dao.
The Sky Roc narrowly avoided having its head cut off, barely escaping, yet its neck was still spewing blood, teetering on the edge.
The Sword Master of Vastness Peak was truly formidable, whether it was the Vast Righteousness Qi he cultivated over three lives, or his combat skills, experience, and awareness, all surpassed others.
The Sky Roc’s death was just a matter of ti.
And once the Sky Roc died, without its Ninth Realm combat power, what could the other Rinsing Spirit Sect cultivators amount to in front of the Taibai Sword Master?
It was rely a matter of a single sword strike, and it would even be a sword strike of overflowing damage.
Here, the defeat of the Rinsing Spirit Sect was already certain.
.......
While the Taibai Sword Master was breaking through the Three Realms on Yi River Platform, the strategic discussion continued in Qingyun Palace.
Faced with a domain on the verge of collapse, unable to patch east by dismantling the west, faced with such a difficult choice.
Any other sect, in the face of this terrifying pressure and bleak prospect, would likely be plunged into fierce and ongoing disagreents.
In the end, "for the greater good," making the dispassionate decision to abandon the Central Spirit Domain.
Except for the Sword Sect.
This strongest Sword Cultivator sect of the Human Race, tempered over ten thousand years, had strong confidence and courage, faith and sincerity, making the Sword Cultivators here never consider giving up.
So, within the shortest ti, the Peak Masters of the Sword Sect reached unanimous agreent.
No argunts arose, and no one voiced a differing opinion.
The swords of Sword Cultivators differ, yet there are always commonalities.
Just as Lu Qingshan said, wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever rivers and streams arrive, are all part of the Human Realm.
Since this is so, the Sword Sect would let the people on that land know there are still those who haven’t abandoned them.
Because the heart is settled, there is calm; because there is no fear, there is calm; because there is calm, there is calm.
The atmosphere in the hall was serious but not frantic.
"Support can’t be delayed, but the question now is, how to support, and who will go to support?" Qingyun Sword Immortal gazed at the swirling Cloud Mist Map, asking again.
The first agenda item was over, and this second agenda item was key.
"Sect Master, are the Demon Race destroying the cross-domain teleportation formations in the Central Spirit Domain?" Gu Qiu spoke.
"If all the cross-domain teleportation formations are destroyed by the Demon Race, we won’t be able to reach the Central Spirit Domain quickly."
This is crucial.
"Don’t worry, I don’t know about the teleportation formations of other sects, but...." Xie Qingyun spoke up at this ti: "Our Sword Sect’s teleportation formation will definitely hold."
"Because, the Peak Master of Vastness Peak is currently at Yi River Platform, and the news from the Central Spirit Domain was relayed by him."
"Besides this ssage, he brought back another sentence."
"With him there, Yi River Platform will never fall."
The hall fell silent, everyone was quiet for a long ti.
Then, Xia Daoyun slowly spoke, her tone full of regret, "This is his last life, his last chance."
"Shiyi has just entered the Eighth Realm, his cultivation is only at the First Tribulation, to defend the teleportation formation against the assault of the Rinsing Spirit Sect, he must break through."
Gu Qiu also felt imnse regret, "But he can only walk the path of his past life to quickly break through, but this would cut off his three lives verification of the Sword Dao, letting go of his hopes of being a Sword Immortal...."
Li Shiyi, this is the real na of the Peak Master of Vastness.
As soone who cultivates over three lives, the Peak Master of Vastness, if willing, can indeed break through quickly by retracing his past life’s Sword Dao, thereby restoring the peak cultivation of his past life.
The problem is, the Peak Master of Vastness’s reason for retraining was that after reaching the peak in his past life, he could not take the next step forward.
His reincarnation is ant for three-life verification, using the Sword Dao of his first two lives as a foundation, combined with his insights into the Sword Dao in this life, to continuously refine and improve, as if cultivating for the first ti, step by step elevating his cultivation, in search of a new breakthrough, aspiring to the Sword Immortal Realm.
This is the Peak Master of Vastness’s envisioned path to Sword Immortality.
But should he choose to break through quickly, it would an abandoning this path, rely retracing the way of his past life.
The Sword Dao has never been about looking back.
—Except for Li Qiubai.
This is also the reason why the Peak Master of Vastness chose to break through at the last mont.
Were it not for being forced, why would he willingly abandon his path to Sword Immortality?
This is quite understandable.
Li Shiyi’s rapid progress is indeed powerful and terrifying.
But his real strength lies in his fearless conviction to relinquish his Sword Immortal path when needed.
But regardless, everyone feels regret for the Peak Master of Vastness.
The only Sword Immortal in the Sword Sect, Xie Qingyun, seeing everyone’s reaction, suddenly smiled, softly asked, "Who said Shiyi has no hope of ascending the Sword Immortal realm after this?"
"Hmm?" Everyone furrowed their brows, looking at Xie Qingyun.
Xie Qingyun asked with a smile, "When has there ever been a fixed way to the Sword Immortal realm?"
"Does anyone dare say which path will definitely lead to the Sword Immortal realm?"
The crowd looked at each other, then very tacitly shook their heads.
If there were such a path, in the long history of Chang’an, spanning twenty thousand years, there wouldn’t be only three Sword Immortals.
"Since this is so, why do you dare to say which path definitely cannot achieve the Sword Immortal realm?"
He questioned.
