Chapter 1375: Elder Lan Tian
The Nangong aristocratic family.
In the meeting hall, the Nangong family master sat in the middle. Apart from many Conjoint Body Mighty Figures, there was also a Void Reversion—it was Nangong Ling.
Under normal circumstances, Nangong Ling was not qualified to participate in such an event given his cultivation realm.
However, the discussion at this moment was unique and involved Dao Lord Desolate Martial.
In the entire Nangong aristocratic family, Nangong Ling was probably the only one who knew Dao Lord Desolate Martial the best!
“Everyone, please speak,”
The Nangong family master said slowly, “Since Desolate Martial isn’t dead and furthermore, he’s Ling’er’s Granduncle-Master, the Nangong family should stay out of this matter.”
“However, we just received news that a primordial divine spring might have been discovered in Beiming Town! The Dongfang and Ximen aristocratic families have already set off. This matter is worth discussing.”
A middle-aged burly man stood up with a ferocious expression and shouted, “Family master, what are you waiting for? You must definitely fight for the primordial divine spring!”
“That’s right,”
Another person said, “The primordial divine spring is way too precious and is the rarest treasure in the world. If our family can obtain the help of the divine spring, our overall strength will double at least!”
“But, the primordial divine spring is a treasure guarded by the Beiming aristocratic family. If we snatch it from them…” Another person hesitated.
“What are you afraid of?!”
The middle-aged burly man who first spoke pouted. “The Beiming clan has long declined. It’s as good as the primordial divine spring having no owner!”
“Don’t forget about Desolate Martial!”
The person reminded, “He is Beiming Xue’s master. We will definitely be on bad terms with Desolate Martial if we want to fight for the divine spring.”
“So what if he’s Dao Lord Desolate Martial? His Essence Spirit is damaged and he’s already injured. His combat strength is greatly reduced. What’s there to be afraid of?!” The middle-aged burly man sneered.
“However, Dao Lord Desolate Martial has another Dragon True Body that’s currently missing. It’s said that his Dragon True Body is even stronger in combat. If we offend him because of this and incur the wrath of the Dragon True Body, wouldn’t we stand to lose more than we would stand to gain?”
“After so many years, there’s no news of the Dragon True Body. It must have flushed into emptiness after floating for such a long time in the endless void.”
“Even if the Dragon True Body is alive, with the super sects and the primordial races in front of us, he won’t even get a chance to reach us.”
In the hall, everyone argued endlessly.
A long time later, the Nangong family master raised his hand slowly and exerted a push gesture. The hall gradually fell silent.
“Nangong Ling, what do you think?”
The Nangong family’s master asked.
Nangong Ling stood at the end of the hall and could not speak the entire time. After all, the experts in the hall were his seniors, even his ancestors!
Without the family master’s question, it was inappropriate for him to take the initiative to interject.
It was only then that Nangong Ling stood out and said in a deep voice, “Family master, I don’t recommend becoming enemies with Dao Lord Desolate Martial.”
“Why? Even if our three aristocratic families join forces, we have to fear a single Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord?”
The middle-aged burly man sneered, “Nangong Ling, don’t side with Desolate Martial just because he’s your Granduncle-Master. Don’t forget your surname and bloodline!”
Nangong Ling was not annoyed by the middle-aged burly man’s reprimand and merely shook his head. “Dao Lord Desolate Martial is different from other Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords.”
“What difference can there be? He merely possesses three Supreme Dharma Characteristics.”
The middle-aged burly man was still somewhat disdainful. “Furthermore, his Essence Spirit is damaged. He can’t even release the most basic Dharmic arts, let alone his Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristics.”
“Without witnessing it personally, it’s impossible to imagine how terrifying Dao Lord Desolate Martial is,”
Nangong Ling said, “How tragic was the battle at Heaven and Earth Valley? Wasn’t that lesson enough?”
After a brief pause, he continued, “Furthermore, I want to remind you elders that since there’s a primordial divine spring, there’s a high chance that Dao Lord Desolate Martial’s injuries will recover completely!”
“At that time, even Conjoint Body Mighty Figures might not be able to suppress him!”
Suddenly, the hall fell silent.
Many Conjoint Body Mighty Figures revealed wary expressions.
The middle-aged burly man clenched his fists gently and said coldly, “What are you afraid of? At the most, we’ll just get a Half-Martial Ancestor of our family clan. Even if Desolate Martial’s injuries are healed, we can kill him!”
“What if Dao Lord Desolate Martial enters the Conjoint Body realm?”
Nangong Ling asked again.
“That’s impossible!”
The middle-aged burly man waved his hand. “How long has this Desolate Martial only been in the Dharma Characteristic realm for? More than a hundred years? He’s definitely daydreaming if he wants to advance to the Conjoint Body realm right now!”
“Furthermore, the Conjoint Body realm is to fuse Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristics into one’s body. Desolate Martial possesses three Supreme Dharma Characteristics. Although he’s incomparably strong and can sweep through everyone of the same cultivation realm, there’s an equivalent balance of good and bad fortune for everything in this world!”
“If he wants to fuse the three Supreme Dharma Characteristics into his body, his body won’t be able to withstand it and he’ll explode!”
Advancement to the Conjoint Body realm was not completely safe without risk for cultivators.
The stronger the Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic, the greater the danger of fusing with the body!
However, Su Zimo had three Supreme Dharma Characteristics—this was unprecedentedly dangerous!
In truth, the cultivators in the hall did not know that in the current generation, there was a person who had successfully fused four Supreme Dharma Characteristics into his body!
However, that person was farsighted and planned everything with a shocking spirit. He schemed against all the experts in the world and was the biggest beneficiary of the battle of Heaven and Earth Valley!
The Nangong family master nodded as well. “With the help of the primordial divine spring, it’s possible for Desolate Martial’s injuries to recover completely. However, it’s definitely impossible for him to advance to the Conjoint Body realm.”
The middle-aged burly man said, “Family master, give the order! If we attack now, we can still take our share of the loot. If we’re too late and the divine spring is controlled by the Dongfang and Ximen aristocratic families, it’ll be too difficult for us to fight for it.”
The Nangong family master frowned and was still hesitant.
“What’s with the crowd?”
Right then, an old voice sounded from outside the hall.
An old man with a dragon head walking stick walked in stealthily. He looked like he was in his twilight years and could die at any moment.
“Greetings, Grand Elder!”
Everyone in the hall stood up and bowed respectfully.
Even the Nangong family master walked down from the main seat and whispered, “Elder Lan Tian, you’re here.”
Anyone who could be a Grand Elder of the three aristocratic families were all Half-Martial Ancestors!
Although Elder Lan Tian seemed like he was at the end of his lifespan with his blood qi deteriorating, in reality, he had already lived for 20,000 years!
Everyone knew that Conjoint Body Mighty Figures had a lifespan of 20,000 years.
Strictly speaking, even Half-Martial Ancestors were still at the Conjoint Body realm and had not truly entered the Mahayana realm.
However, Half-Martial Ancestors could live beyond 20,000 years!
“With Elder Lan Tian stepping in, even if Desolate Martial’s injuries are healed, we have nothing to fear!” The middle-aged burly man shouted with a delighted expression.
“Hehe,”
Elder Lan Tian leaned on his walking stick and laughed before saying slowly, “The Nangong family will wait to watch and see first.”
“Grand Elder!”
The middle-aged burly man could not help but say, “If the Dongfang and Ximen aristocratic families get their hands on it first, our Nangong family might never get the chance to obtain the primordial divine spring ever again!”
“There’s no need to discuss this, I have decided.”
Elder Lan Tian said indifferently.
There were no further objections in the hall.
Even the Nangong family master could not disobey the orders of a Half-Martial Ancestor!
