Chapter 1952: Chapter 1533: Twofold Immortal Seed (Part 2)

Situ Yao chuckled and hurriedly tried to dissuade them: “The Ten Sects have always been united. Even past calamities far more dangerous than this, we have endured together. How can we let this separate us?”

Fang Dinge, however, did not relent in the slightest: “These times are different from the past. After several great battles, how much energy do the Immortal Instruments in your hands still possess? Without the Immortal Spirit Energy, what difference are they from scrap metal? We’ve been lucky to survive until now relying on these Immortal treasures in the starry sky. If we can no longer use Immortal Instruments, where do we go from here?”

…

The people of the Ten Sects argued endlessly.

Ultimately, it was a female cultivator clad in black gauze, with a slender figure but a voice as piercing as ripping metal, who concluded the quarrel.

“Since everyone has a point, why not bet on both sides? Don’t forget, we still have a seized Immortal Instrument.”

Xiahou Yan, the master of the Undefined Prison, swept his gaze over the crowd.

The crowd, as if pierced by a tangible blade, instinctively squinted, avoiding direct eye contact with Xiahou Yan.

“That Immortal Instrument is too eerie. It’s best not to use it lightly…” Even Fang Dinge, after some hesitation, shook his head in denial.

Xiahou Yan sneered.

In front of all the sect leaders of the Ten Sects, he openly mocked: “The Ten Sect Leaders, supposedly the world’s leading figures, yet you seem to be nothing more than indecisive and hypocritical characters.”

Although the words were unpleasant, he included himself in the criticism. The others merely showed embarrassed expressions, unable to rebuke.

“But I can’t blame you. The more power you have, the more you have to consider—your sects, the world, all living beings…”

“It’s far less satisfying than the days when we roamed the world with nothing but ourselves!” Xiahou Yan said calmly.

Seemingly recalling past victories, the crowd fell silent for a moment.

It was Xiahou Yan who spoke again: “Consider it. Although the [Two-part Immortal Seed] is strange, it allows us to split into two without loss, providing more options, a way out, and a chance of survival.”

“It shouldn’t have reached such a severe point.” Jiang Yixing and others still did not agree with Xiahou Yan’s opinion.

“Though the Two-part Immortal Seed is incredibly mysterious, its side effects are equally significant. When we used it once in the past, it took us nearly a century to digest. Lu Chengheng, Yi Jue, originally somewhat normal individuals from the Calamity Transcendence Sect, all became what they are now—mad.”

“But didn’t we ultimately win? And those three Immortal Cultivation Worlds have long turned to dust. Since we bore it once, we can bear it a second time.” Xiahou Yan persisted.

It wasn’t until several doubtful looks glanced over at him that Xiahou Yan realized he’d somewhat lost his composure.

He then snorted coldly and fell silent.

Another lengthy silence followed.

Situ Yao drank the fine wine in his gourd in one gulp, growing a bit impatient: “I believe that Senior Brother Dinge’s method is feasible. I personally observed Stone Mother’s deductions through the entire process. There is some assurance of ending the Taiyuan Realm’s warfare.”

“If you are unwilling, then let me handle it.”

“It’s just death, after all. When have I, Situ Yao, ever been afraid?”

“Good!” Fang Dinge was thrilled to finally gain a supporter.

As opinions began to align, the remaining individuals had no choice but to consider it.

Just then, a weak voice came from the corner.

“Master says he agrees with Sect Master Fang’s plan. However, our Supreme Sect will only send three people to assist.” The speaker was Jiang Yingyue.

This female cultivator, who slaughtered countless on the battlefield, seemed like a child in front of the sect leaders, not daring to utter a word before.

Only after receiving a transmission from her master did she weakly speak up.

Most already had some issue with the old Taoist’s absence. Now, hearing that a plan concerning the survival of the Xuanhuang World had only the participation of three Supreme Sect members, their expressions turned even less pleasant.

However, seeing the three names formed from the starlight in Jiang Yingyue’s hands, the crowd fell silent.

Simply because these three were the top combat power of the Great Taoist Sect. Each of their strengths would not be inferior to those present.

After a bout of arguing, consensus was finally slowly reached.

The Ten Sects began discussing the specifics of the operation, with Fang Dinge reiterating: “The reason we have not won, continually ensnared by the Taiyuan Realm, is due to the existence of the Taiyuan Rebirth Furnace.”

“In scale and strength, the Taiyuan Realm cultivators are far inferior to our Xuanhuang Realm. Yet we cannot eradicate them. Even if we exchange life for life with over a dozen Unity-Path cultivators, we need to recuperate well. However, they reappear unscathed on the battlefield after just a few days.” Clearly having suffered before, Fang Dinge spoke through clenched teeth.

“The key to breaking this is to destroy the Taiyuan Revival Furnace. We hadn’t acted before because we couldn’t determine its exact location. Numerous plots to probe were ineffective. But now…”

Fang Dinge’s eyes flashed with vigor: “Perhaps truly threatening the safety of the Xuanhuang World, the usually reticent, detached Great Heavenly Sovereign has finally spoken up to guide us.”

With a wave of Fang Dinge’s hand, the Taiyuan Realm’s projection appeared in the field.

The constantly flickering dots were where the Taiyuan Revival Furnace was located.

“According to the Great Heavenly Sovereign, the so-called Revival Furnace is essentially an ancient Immortal Level Formation. All that’s needed is to destroy several key nodes of the array, and it will affect its rebirth effects for a time.”

“Enough to sweep this realm clean!” Fang Dinge said solemnly.

“These positions correspond to…” Jiang Yingyue, gazing at the projection, suddenly found herself lost in thought.

“That’s right, in the depths of the Taiyuan Realm, at the location of Taiyuan’s largest former cultivator’s sect, Heavenly Dao Palace.”

“The entire Taiyuan Realm is shrouded under the Immortal Level Great Array, attempting to infiltrate deeply and successfully sabotage the formation involves countless dangers…”

“However, we still have a better chance of winning!” Fang Dinge said.

“Since the start of the war, every cultivator that appeared on the Taiyuan Battlefield has been incorporated into Stone Mother’s deduction calculations, with an additional redundancy of one-third of their strength…”

“Even considering this, we have a fifty-six percent chance of success.”

With Fang Dinge’s words, hundreds of densely packed light spots suddenly appeared on the Taiyuan projection. Each light spot represented a cultivator at or above Perfect God Transformation, one who could threaten their plan.

Focusing Divine Sense on these spots revealed the information of the represented cultivators. Besides their appearances and strength, details of the various divine power spells they previously displayed on the battlefield were also there.

“Their ability to resurrect infinitely is their absolute advantage, but also their fatal weakness.”

“They still know nothing about us, while we know them inside out.”

The vision before them captivated everyone present.

Even Xiahou Yan and those who disagreed with Fang Dinge’s risky plan silently observed and pondered.

Meanwhile, not far away, through Jiang Yingyue’s eyes, Li Fan observed the secret discussion of the Ten Sects fully, yet shook his head slightly.

“Even without me, with the power they’re wielding, they can forget about breaking through the layers of Taiyuan cultivators’ defenses to destroy the Immortal Array.”

Li Fan immediately saw the fatal flaw in the plan.

The Nine-star Red Beads-enhanced protective Immortal Array wasn’t just as simple as creating living beings.

Not to mention the many other abilities, the watchers and repairers within the Taiyuan Immortal Formation might not know how to activate them. Still, temporarily unleashing the potential of the created beings to greatly increase their combat power in a short time is certainly achievable.

Although it burns the lifespans of the creations swiftly, just being able to hold off the Xuanhuang Realm’s adventurers for a brief time is sufficient to render their plan a failure.

It even might result in burying the elites of the Xuanhuang Realm right here.

“Much like the Ten Sects’ previous beheading strategy for Law Transmission.”

“But it seems if I wasn’t involved, they’d all lose this bet.”
