The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 011
Chapter 011 Millennium Plan
At this moment, inside the Eight Desolates Hall.
The effects of this change in the Eternal Demon Abyss were much greater than he had imagined. All the upper echelons of the Eight Desolate Sect gathered in this hall to discuss this matter.
At the head of the hall sat a row of eight people. They were the Peak Masters of the Eight Peaks, and they were also the supreme masters of the Eight Desolate Sect. The Eight Desolate Sect’s inheritance dates back to the Eight Desolate Palace of the Ancient Dao Sect. Since ancient times, there have been no sect masters, only eight peak masters. This system has continued to this day.
Below were the elders of the various peaks. There were twenty to thirty of them, all of them Xiantian Seventh Layer and above experts. According to the rules of the sect, only those at the seventh level of the Xiantian Realm and above could become elders.
The eight Peak Masters’ faces were dignified, while the elders below did not show any expression and their expressions were solemn. The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat dull.
“Obviously, the situation is not optimistic.” One of the Peak Masters said, “What do you think of this strange movement in the Devil Abyss?”
The elders looked at each other, but for a moment, no one spoke.
“I think that vicious creature beneath the Devil Abyss might not have died!” Finally, someone spoke, breaking the silence.
“How is this possible? It’s more than 100,000 years ago. What can survive for so long!” Someone immediately retorted.
“Why not? Of course, humans can’t live that long. But don’t forget, that vicious creature is an ancient mutant. What’s so strange about living longer?”
The two sides immediately began to argue, and the hall became lively.
“Alright, stop arguing.” The Golden Emperor Peak Master was impatient and shouted. His voice was very sharp, like a sharp sword. “Whether it’s alive or not, the main question is, is there a need for our plan to continue?”
The argument stopped abruptly, and the hall suddenly fell silent again. No one answered this question.
After a moment of silence, another Peak Master asked, “Do you know when the last movement in the Eternal Demon Abyss happened?”
“Recent move?” The elders below were dumbfounded. They looked at each other and thought to themselves, “Has the Eternal Demon Abyss ever moved before?”
The Eternal Demon Abyss had always been very calm. In their memories, they had never heard of anything strange happening to it. If it weren’t for this alarming change, they might have thought that it would forever be a pool of stagnant water.
It was precisely because the Eternal Demon Abyss was so calm that they felt that the vicious creature suppressed inside had long since died. Because of this, someone had proposed a shocking plan a thousand years ago-to obtain eight supreme Dao artifacts within the Eight Desolate Demon Subduing Array.
Everyone looked at each other. Clearly, most people didn’t understand this.
However, there were still some people who knew. One of the elders stood up and said, “According to the records in the sect, the most recent movement should date back to the Middle Ages, when the Polarity Emperor was alive. It has been very calm for the rest of its life.”
“The Medieval Era of the Polarity Emperor!” Everyone was shocked. To actually trace back to such an ancient time, it was truly too long ago.
“It’s been such a long time since anything unusual happened. I think it might just be an accident. The fiend is probably already dead. Why are you so worried about being scared? “Our plan has been going on for more than a thousand years, and it has gathered the efforts of countless seniors and sages. It was not easy for us to proceed until now. We are only one step away. We absolutely cannot give up. Otherwise, we will be the sinners of the sect!”
The Golden Emperor Peak Master was the first to express his stance. His sharp voice echoed in the hall with an imposing aura.
However, the Flame Sun Peak Master shook his head and said, “No, no. No matter how small the possibility is, we cannot risk it. If that vicious creature were to appear, it would definitely bring disaster to the world and cause suffering to life. In any case, there is no need to be in such a hurry after a thousand years. It is better to wait for it to die before retrieving the divine artifact.”
Seeing that the two sides were starting to stalemate again, the Cyanwood Peak Master hurriedly said, “Why don’t we invite Supreme Elder to make a decision?”
“Alright then! Please invite the Supreme Elder.” Everyone agreed.
Just as he was about to send someone to invite Supreme Elder, a voice came from outside the hall, “No need, we’re already there.” As soon as he finished speaking, three old men appeared at the entrance. They floated out of the dust like immortals and arrived at the palace hall in a few steps.
“Greetings, Supreme Elder!” Everyone bowed in succession.
“There’s no need to be too polite.” The three old men stretched out their hands to support him. “You are the leaders of this generation. We are only here to give you some advice.”
The elders sat down on their own in the main hall. One of the elders said, “The three of us have already discussed it. Let’s proceed according to the original plan.” His voice was very calm, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.
“But” Someone was unconvinced and wanted to raise an objection.
The old man waved his hand and continued, “You don’t have to worry too much. That ferocious beast is indeed still alive, but after being suppressed for so long, its vitality must have been greatly damaged.” Moreover, after we retrieve the aisle artifact and the ferocious beasts appear, the Eight Desolate Mountains will definitely not be able to survive. That’s why we have to move ahead of time. After we leave, it’s none of our business to care about its ferocious might. ”
“Give up the Eight Desolate Mountains and move away ahead of time?” The hearts of the elders trembled as they pondered which of the eight supreme Dao Artifacts was more important than the sect’s inheritance?
“No, I object!” Lord Flaming Sun Peak took the lead and stood up. He shouted, “How can a sect give up on its foundation? Besides, can we just watch it become a calamity to the world?”
The old man frowned and said indifferently, “Anyone else who objects, stand up together.”
The Secluded Moon Peak Master immediately stood up and whispered, “I also object.” Her voice was very ethereal and resolute.
The old man didn’t even look at her and continued to ask, “Hmm? Is there no one left?”
Everyone looked at each other and remained silent. Some people hesitated for a moment, but they were shocked by the might of the Supreme Elder, so they chose to remain silent.
In the end, eight people walked out. Most of them were the elders of Flaming Sun Peak and You Yue Peak.
“Very good.” The old man’s face was calm as he narrowed his eyes and said, “There are ten people in total. According to the principle that the minority obeys the majority, the objection is invalid. Therefore, let’s proceed according to the original plan. Let’s adjourn the meeting.”
…
Afterwards, the days returned to calm. Li Qing entered a normal life of cultivation, and time passed calmly like flowing water.
His strength was slowly increasing. Three months later, Li Qing reached the Houtian Second Stage. After that, he went to the Skill Transmission Hall to ask for a saber technique to cultivate. After the Skill Transmission Elder asked him about his situation, he gave him a copy of the Basic Saber Technique.
A year later, Li Qing reached the Houtian 3rd layer…
After familiarizing himself with the basic saber technique, he exchanged another thousand contribution points for the first three moves of the Flame Sun Saber Technique.
…
Time passed quickly, and very quickly, it was the fifth year of the Eight Desolates Sect.
Li Jin sat in the quiet room, cultivating. He held a spirit stone in his hand and continuously absorbed the spirit energy inside his body. Then, he circulated it along a specific meridian, transforming it into true energy and converging it into his dantian.
Suddenly, a “boom” rang out, as if it was the beginning of heaven and earth. The dantian expanded rapidly, doubling in size before stopping.
“I’ve finally broken through!” Li Jin took a long breath. He continued to cultivate for a while and stabilized his cultivation before stopping.
Right now, he was already at the sixth level of the Houtian realm!
