Chapter 902: Daolord Discussion
Editor: Henyee Translations
In the Haoran Sect’s council hall, three inconspicuous beings sat in tranquility.
To any passerby cultivator who didn’t scrutinize closely, even those at the Dao Integration Realm might fail to notice their presence, for they had merged with the world, becoming one with the Dao.
During these times, the Floodgate Realm had been embroiled in warfare due to invasions from the demon beasts, deepsea nomads, and eldars.
Yet, the truly terrifying entities of the four realms had not yet intervened.
These formidable beings’ true strength transcends this world, and their full-force combat could potentially destroy not only the Floodgate Realm but possibly the Tianyao, Tianling, and Changhai Realms as well.
They are revered as Mahayana Daolords.
In this world, they stand as the most powerful beings, capable of invoking the ascension light for a chance to ascend to higher realms.
Among those seated in the hall was Jiang Chengxuan’s Shifu, Qin Shenwu, the only Daolord of the Haoran Sect.
The other two were Daolords from the Pantheon Sect and the Divine Shadow Gate.
Due to an unspoken agreement among Mahayana Daolords, they refrain from participating directly in wars.
The message on the table was the reason for their gathering today.
By noon, the proposal from Jiang Chengxuan and those defending the Eastern Sky Domain had been delivered to Qin Shenwu.
By tonight, the Mahayana Daolords from the various sects had already convened to discuss, indicating Qin Shenwu’s regard for his disciple’s suggestion.
“What do you think, fellow Daolords, about the proposal from my disciple and his comrades?”
Qin Shenwu broke the silence, addressing the other two Mahayana Daolords.
Eliminating the foreign races within the Floodgate Realm was indeed a strategic suggestion.
The threat from the Tianyao, Tianling, and Changhai Realms made it clear that the leaks likely came from foreign entities within the Floodgate Realm.
Such acts had crossed a line for all human cultivators, violating the core interests of all sects in the Floodgate Realm.
From that moment, those foreign entities were doomed to destruction.
However, the sudden and fierce attacks from the three realms had left no spare forces to address this internal threat.
Moreover, these foreign entities were not easy targets.
Without the Mahayana Daolords’ intervention, there was no guarantee of an easy victory.
After all, they had been entrenched in the Floodgate Realm for a long time, making them formidable local forces.
Coupled with the backing of their respective home realms, their strength was not to be underestimated.
“This matter is mainly up to you, Daolord Shenwu,” said the Mahayana Daolord from the Divine Shadow Gate slowly.
“Indeed, having cultivators willing to undertake this task is beneficial under the current circumstances,” the Pantheon Sect’s Mahayana Daolord remarked directly, voicing a concern,
“But, Daolord Shenwu, how capable is your disciple really? Does he possess the strength required for such a mission?”
Eradicating the foreign races within the Floodgate Realm is undeniably a just cause.
However, during these critical times, such actions must be conducted discreetly to avoid alerting and provoking a preemptive counterattack from the foreign races within the Floodgate Realm and potentially from the Tianyao, Tianling, and Changhai Realms.
At that time, could the Eastern Sky Domain still be defended?
As the stakes increase, so does the risk.
The Mahayana Daolord’s question led the others into deep thought.
Could Jiang Chengxuan, with only a few companions, truly manage such a complex task?
If the entire Haoran Sect were to undertake this mission, there’d be no doubt about its success.
However, given the need for secrecy and swift action, the difficulty and risk were substantially heightened.
“The situation indeed does not look optimistic. Perhaps the foreign races have already anticipated our move to exterminate them,” the Divine Shadow Gate’s Mahayana Daolord added, suggesting that traps and ambushes might already be in place, risking the mission turning into a disaster.
The foreign races were not foolish; they wouldn’t just sit and wait for their doom.
The risk involved in this mission could be greater than anyone anticipated.
Both looked to Qin Shenwu, waiting for his decision.
They saw this as a valuable opportunity, but should Jiang Chengxuan, Qin Shenwu’s prized disciple, fall into danger, they wouldn’t want to bear the responsibility.
“Haha.”
Facing the Grand Daolords’ doubts, Qin Shenwu chuckled.
“My disciple is more than capable; I trust his judgment,” he confidently affirmed.
“I’ll convey your concerns to them, but let’s proceed with the plan.”
He didn’t hesitate, ready to approve the mission.
Qin Shenwu never doubted Jiang Chengxuan’s abilities.
He wasn’t one to overreach without assurance.
Since he had proposed such a plan, it meant that he was confident.
Moreover, the potential rewards, if successfully claimed by Jiang Chengxuan, would greatly benefit him and the Haoran Sect in the future.
If necessary, he would monitor the situation and intervene covertly to ensure their safety…
The next day, in the Eastern Sky Domain, Qin Shenwu appeared at the Haoran Sect’s temporary camp.
Upon seeing their Shifu, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and the others greeted him respectfully:
“Shifu.”
“Everyone has worked hard,” Qin Shenwu greeted everyone with a smile.
Then, he conveyed their final decision to Jiang Chengxuan.
“Chengxuan, we’ve discussed your proposal and think it’s very good. But are you aware of the dangers involved?” Qin Shenwu asked Jiang Chengxuan.
Feeling the concern in his Shifu’s words, Jiang Chengxuan was moved.
He then took the initiative to explain the risks and benefits of the operation.
“I understand that this operation must be conducted in secrecy, and the three foreign races will surely be prepared for our arrival.”
These considerations had all been part of his expectations.
“So, do you still decide to go? It’s not too late to back out now,” Qin Shenwu asked again.
His personal visit was precisely to offer Jiang Chengxuan an opportunity to reconsider.
Contributions are important, but Jiang Chengxuan is the hope of the Haoran Sect, and no mission is worth his sacrifice.
“Shifu, I understand your concern for me. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure of success,” Jiang Chengxuan responded.
“But in this world, there is no such thing as a sure thing. I believe someone must undertake this risk.”
Hearing this, Qin Shenwu understood Jiang Chengxuan’s determination and said no more.
After giving his last piece of advice and patting his disciple on the shoulder, he left.
