Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme - Chapter 356
Chapter 356: Chapter 236: Cultivation Technique_1
Such an attitude left Meng Fuyao with nothing to say.
What more could be said?
What should have been done, and what should not have been done, this person had done it all.
What he should have had, and what he should not have had, he also had it all.
With overwhelming power and ample resources, his actions were domineering and could be described as extreme, yet they were not entirely without leeway, leaving a way out, creating a space, thus suppressing one group, and winning over another…
Whether or not he could succeed and do well, that remains to be seen.
But to have come this far shows the firmness of his resolve, which is unchangeable.
So, what more is there to say?
“So be it!”
Meng Fuyao sighed, stood up, and said, “I shall follow the fellow Daoist’s advice and restrain my sect’s disciples. As for the independent cultivators, we are truly helpless and can only trouble the fellow Daoist to take extra care and effort.”
Xu Yang nodded, speaking calmly, “The work needs to be done, but it should not be rushed. White Jade Capital must first take control of White Dragon Ridge, the foundations of the Three Sects of Snow God, and the nations. Only after that can we carry out the subsequent tasks.”
“It should indeed be so.”
Meng Fuyao nodded and said, “Fellow Daoist, please set a deadline.”
Xu Yang, as if he had anticipated this, immediately replied, “How about three years?”
“Three years?”
Meng Fuyao pondered briefly and then nodded, “Then it shall be three years!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yang had no more to say, “Then it’s settled.”
Meng Fuyao smiled lightly, “Should the fellow Daoist change his mind, you are welcome to visit Haoqi Sect at any time, and I shall welcome you warmly.”
“Farewell!”
“Safe travels!”
“…”
After bidding Xu Yang farewell, Meng Fuyao sighed again, took a deep breath of relief, and returned to Great Xing Mountain.
In the midst of Great Xing Mountain, the disciples of the Four Sects were cleaning up the aftermath.
At the peak of the snowy mountain, Li Qiankun and the three monks waited in silence, no one speaking, the atmosphere heavy.
Only when Haoqi returned, revealing the figure of their teacher, was this frozen tension broken.
“Master!”
Li Qiankun came forward, looking at Meng Fuyao with a hint of nervousness, “What happened?”
Meng Fuyao shook his head, “This person has no intention of Ascension.”
“This…”
Upon hearing this, Li Qiankun and the three monks were all taken aback, their expressions astonished and filled with doubt.
No intention of Ascension?
In this demonic world, besides the Blood Demon, were there cultivators with no intention of Ascending?
Li Qiankun’s brows furrowed tightly in confusion, “He has no intention of Ascension, so what is his purpose?”
“Slaughtering Demon!”
Meng Fuyao said solemnly, revealing two words, “This person seems to harbor the intention of World Subduing Demon Slaying. After taking over the foundations of the Three Sects of Snow God, he intends to prohibit the Elixir Skills of Five Viscera Pills, gather all the Demon Transformation Spiritual Objects in the world, and thereby ponder the World Cleansing Divination in search of the Demon Extermination Tribulation Breaking Method.”
“This…”
Upon hearing this, Li Qiankun and the three monks were once again taken aback. Although not speechless, they seemed at a loss.
Subduing the world?
Slaughtering Demons?
Prohibiting the Elixir Skills of Five Viscera Pills?
Gathering all the Spiritual Objects in the world?
And seeking to ponder the World Cleansing Divination for the Demon Extermination Tribulation Breaking Method?
Each of these tasks, taken by themselves, were shocking, and now he intended to undertake them all at once?
This…!
Li Qiankun’s brow tensed, speculating, “Could it be that he’s bluffing, with other motives?”
Meng Fuyao shook his head, “If he had other motives, he could have simply feigned compliance. Why bother going through all this?”
“…”
“…”
“…”
All four fell silent, their brows tightly knit and expressions somber.
As Meng Fuyao said, if it was a bluff, there was no need for this.
If it wasn’t a bluff, then he truly intended to act.
Subduing the world, Banning human Elixir Skills, and scouring the world for Demon Transformation Spiritual Objects.
This…
Li Qiankun’s brow tensed, “Does this person intend to make enemies with all the cultivators in the world?”
“Indeed!”
Meng Fuyao sighed, “His mind is made up, and there is no turning back.”
“Then what should we do?”
Li Qiankun frowned and said, “Do we have to start a war again, after the Blood Demon?”
“No need for that.”
Meng Fuyao shook his head, “Though there is no turning back, there is room to maneuver. He has made a promise that after taking over the foundations of the Three Sects, he will be the vanguard in the search for the Ancient Secret Treasure, ensuring the discovery of four Ancient Spiritual Treasures to resolve Corpse Resolution, complete our Four Sects’ matter of Ascension as part of the exchange, and we must cooperate with him to prohibit the Five Viscera Elixir Skills.”
“Ancient Secret Treasure?”
“Spiritual Treasures for Corpse Resolution?”
Li Qiankun’s gaze sharpened, and the three monks also pondered.
Moments later, one spoke, “If that’s the case, there indeed is room.”
It was the same old principle; Ascension was of utmost importance.
As long as Ascension was possible, any concession or sacrifice was acceptable.
After all, they already had the foundation of Demon Transformation Spiritual Objects, and the defects of Spiritual Treasures for Corpse Resolution were of no concern.
But…
“We four sects can comply with these terms, but it’s unlikely that all the cultivators in the world would agree.”
Li Qiankun looked perplexed, “Even for Ancient Secret Treasures, there are only a limited number. He surely can’t meet the needs of the entire world, can he?”
“He has his ways, both force and cunning. By attacking and enticing simultaneously, it’s not impossible for him to succeed.”
“But this is not the key for us!”
Meng Fuyao said with a weighty voice, “Things in the world don’t spring from nothing without a reason. His every action, all the hints, all point to the fact that he is not a cultivator from our realm, but rather…”
Li Qiankun’s gaze sharpened as he took over, “An outsider from another realm!?”
“Exactly!”
Meng Fuyao nodded, “Only such an explanation makes sense.”
“An outsider from another realm?”
“Which realm?”
“Could it be an Ancient Immortal from the realm of the ancient mighty returning?
“Otherwise, who would have such audacity and act in such a manner?”
All four furrowed their brows, each one speculative.
“Regardless, it’s unrelated to us; our only goal is Ascension.”
Meng Fuyao stood with one hand behind his back, his demeanor indifferent, “Let him do as he pleases. As long as it ensures our Four Sects’ Ascension, nothing else matters.”
