Chapter 1173 - Chapter 1173 Chapter 467 The Choice

Chapter 1173: Chapter 467: The Choice Chapter 1173: Chapter 467: The Choice “I’m eager to witness Commander Cao’s Controlling the Wilderness Divine Art!”

The blood sea surged tumultuously, embodying countless debts of gratitude and vengeance; spiritual blood ebbed and flowed, filled with endless resentment from east to west of the Xihe River.

Wen Ren Yuanwu’s fighting spirit surged because he had encountered the greatest enemy of his life.

Ever since Yun Xiu’s message had been relayed back to Longyuan, he knew the Ancient Blood Tower couldn’t escape this calamity, for he knew Cao Jinyu’s character all too well.

Yet the unfixed Minor Spiritual Realm could become a sanctuary-like foundation precisely because, even in defeat, they had one last move: severing the connection with the Great Thousand World and drifting in the Endless Void.

Without a Boundary Master or Realm Lord, such an action was akin to leaving one’s fate to the gods, for no one knew how long it would take to settle the new boundary, let alone where the Spirit Realm would reappear.

But after decades of trading and operation, the Ancient Blood Tower had become the second most powerful force with secret techniques and scriptures, next to the Heaven Sect. Hence, cultivating a Boundary Master was hardly an issue.

As long as they could stop Cao Jinyu, the entire group from Longyuan could safely evacuate, and he was all the clearer on just how wide the gap was between the Blood Path he had comprehended and the Beast Taming Sect’s most genuine secret transmission.

“You all head to Longyuan first, leave this person to me to deal with,”

“To come as you please, and leave as you wish, do you think this academic sea is just for show?”

The man seated on the thunderous divine throne snorted coldly as the blood sea roiled into towering waves, crashing towards Wang Xun and his group; the massive Heavenly Patrol Divine Ship before this tempest of blood was like a hut facing a tsunami, able to feel that world-destroying might from a great distance.

Yet the people from the Mountain Department were not tense, for standing before them was the Great Commander of the Dutian Heavenly King, Cao Jinyu.

“A century apart, yet your mind hasn’t matured a bit, still as stubborn and obstinate as ever.”

Commander Cao’s expression remained unchanged as he flew up towards the overturning blood waves. Behind him shined a Spiritual Map of mountains and rivers, encompassing deserts and great rivers as well as stars and the world beyond. Devoid of life, the cosmos was painted in a shade of dark yellow, desolate like a lament song of the apocalypse.

Faced with Wen Ren Yuanwu’s aggressive approach, Cao Jinyu clearly had no interest in a friendly sparring match, lifting his hand to unleash his well-known technique, the Great Wilderness Scripture.

While the Beast Taming Sect was still struggling with the fierce beasts, Commander Cao had already taken a different path. After roving through the Endless Void and ascending to the twelfth star, he ultimately had a moment of profound enlightenment on the dark side of the moon, overturning all his past martial arts beliefs.

Heaven is void, earth is void, man is void, fate is void; all things ultimately return to desolation, much like the stars drifting in the boundless void.

Light is void, breath is void, shadow is void, power is void; all images are but self-deception. The great void is empty, yet within this nothingness, it carries everything.

Even mighty life is false, and one day when light fades and qi exhausts, the Great Thousand will become the next great desolation.

If so, the one who controls the wilds commands all directions; how could taming beasts compare to Controlling the Wilderness?

Thus all things return to ruins, and in the end, only matter endures – mountains, stars, endless sands. However vast the blood sea, the Great Wilderness can absorb it all.

In the vast wilderness, where the divine might is boundless; to return everything to the wilderness, to tame it, is to be a true god.

Amidst the sea of sand and crumbling mountains, the blood waves surged with greed, drawing in the energy of the blood sea. A world-shattering strike was thus easily blocked.

…

Longyuan Minor Spiritual Realm

The Boundary Master was extremely anxious, constantly gathering warriors to inject Spiritual Power into the Realm Heart, hoping to speed up the process.

This drift through the Endless Void had been hurriedly prepared. Although the object to stabilize the realm had been buried, the Realm Heart still failed to respond.

Having nearly drained all the warriors in Longyuan of their Spiritual Power, the Realm Heart remained lifeless, showing no signs of revival.

The Boundary Master had no choice but to speak to Yun Ji tactfully, “Young Master Yun, Longyuan is but a Minor Spiritual Realm. It cannot support so many people from the Yun Clan. If we delay any further, once the Heavenly Patrol Divine Vessel arrives, none of us here will be able to leave. Please make an early decision.”

Yun Ji, who was in the midst of cultivating, opened his eyes, which were red with bloodshot veins, his gaze fierce like that of a wild beast, making it impossible for others to meet his eyes.

“Please don’t look at me that way,” the Boundary Master said softly, turning his gaze away, “I didn’t want things to turn out this way either. But the time given by the Tower Master was really short. The hastily conjured object to stabilize the realm has limited power. If we want it to respond to the Realm Heart, we need to lighten the load of the Spirit Realm…”

“Aren’t you the Boundary Master?” Yun Ji said sharply, interrupting the Boundary Master, his eyes red, “After expending so many resources and finding you so many secret treasures, is this really your solution?!”

“There’s nothing I can do if that’s what you think,” the Boundary Master said helplessly, “But at this moment, at least thirty percent of the people must leave for the drift through the Endless Void to begin safely. If we force the start, not to mention the danger of the turbulence during the drift, if the object to stabilize the realm shatters, Longyuan might end up close to some of the Middle Thousand Worlds. Then, if we want to return, it would become very difficult.”

“Thirty percent?” Yun Ji laughed in anger, “In Longyuan, there are my Yun Clan’s people and the families of the Ancient Blood Tower, how can we abandon them?”

“Great achievements require overlooking minor details,” the Boundary Master immediately said, “Apart from the direct and collateral male descendants in Longyuan, all the elderly, servants, maids, and slaves can be expelled.”

As he spoke, the Boundary Master lowered his voice further, “If that’s still not enough, sending the wives and young daughters away wouldn’t hurt either. I believe given the magnanimity of the Dutian Heavenly King, he would not mistreat some widows and orphans. Even if they really encounter some misfortune, once Longyuan stabilizes and we return, we could still think of ways to rescue them. After all, the Tower Master and the two protectors are still outside, wouldn’t you agree, Young Master Yun?”

At the brink of life and death, what choices are the right ones? It’s nothing but leaving all the weak behind, allowing the strong to press forward.

There’s no pity here, no mercy, no concession, and certainly no righteousness–just cold calculation.

The Boundary Master’s suggestion revolted Yun Ji as if he had swallowed a fly, “Seems like you had all this planned out.”

“Alas,” the Boundary Master sighed, looking dejected, “To be honest, Young Master Yun, when conjuring the object to stabilize the realm, I had an inkling that there were simply too many people inside Longyuan and that the object might not be able to link with the Realm Heart. But with the time we had, it was too late to look for a more suitable spiritual object. I had hoped that injecting enough Spiritual Power into the Realm Heart might make it resonate with the object, but evidently, that’s not the case.”

Regardless of Yun Ji’s increasingly grim expression, the Boundary Master looked around, then leaned in close, whispering in his ear, “Actually, Young Master Yun, there is a better option. Isn’t there a faction in the Yun Family that has always been opposing the Hawk Faction? Now is the time for them to practice their beliefs. They’ve always claimed that fighting isn’t the solution, so let them stay in Longyuan and negotiate with the incoming Dutian Heavenly King.”

“If they can successfully negotiate, not only could their lives be saved, but it would also prove their ideology. ‘He who seeks kindness receives kindness’–I suppose this is what it means, right?”
