Chapter 889: Breakthrough Juncture, People Who Came to Sabotage
Editor: Henyee Translations
“Greetings, Daolord Southbright.”
As Bai Ziliang met Daolord Southbright, he greeted him with respect.
Daolord Southbright waved off the formalities.
“Master Bai, no need for such courtesies.
I believe you might have guessed the reason for my visit.”
Bai Ziliang felt a stir in his heart and ventured,
“May I dare to ask if your visit is concerning Qin Shenwu’s breakthrough?”
“That’s right.”
Daolord Southbright didn’t beat around the bush and nodded directly.
“You must be aware of the predicament your Five Elements Heavenly Sect will face if Qin Shenwu successfully breaks through to the Mahayana Realm.”
After a pause, Daolord Southbright continued,
“Of course, it’s also not in my interest for Qin Shenwu to achieve a breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm.
So, I was thinking…”
Daolord Southbright then shared his plan with Bai Ziliang, who immediately showed signs of surprise.
If they acted as Daolord Southbright suggested, their situation could worsen if they failed to obstruct Qin Shenwu’s breakthrough.
However, Daolord Southbright, seeing through Bai Ziliang’s concerns, scoffed,
“Sect Master Bai, if the Five Elements Heavenly Sect does nothing now, do you think Qin Shenwu will spare your sect once he’s successful?
Consider the reverse; how would you deal with the Haoran Sect if it were your cultivator who broke through?”
Convinced by Daolord Southbright’s argument, Bai Ziliang nodded in agreement,
“Alright, then let’s proceed as you’ve suggested, Daolord Southbright. I hope you won’t stand by when the time comes.”
A smile appeared on Daolord Southbright’s face as he assured,
“Rest assured, the Haoran Sect is our common enemy. I can’t just stand by and watch Qin Shenwu break through.”
With a mutual understanding, both laughed, sealing their conspiratorial agreement.
A few years later.
Inside the Haoran Sect, the atmospheric changes due to Qin Shenwu’s breakthrough became increasingly apparent.
Not only the high-ranking cultivators but even the lower-ranking ones sensed the changes in the world’s energy.
Everyone’s attention turned towards Shenwu Peak, contemplating the possibility of a new Mahayana Daolord emerging in their Floodgate Realm.
Boom!
As time went on, the signs of breakthrough at the Shenwu Peak grew stronger.
Visible clouds gathered, and chains of rules appeared, intertwining and connecting, forming a rhythm of the Dao.
Anyone who sensed this aura could immediately obtain a lot of insights.
However, at this moment, several powerful auras suddenly approached from the sky.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Xue Ping, Yun Yizhen, and the others around the Shenwu Peak immediately focused their gazes.
Their expressions turned ugly.
As expected.
The scene that they did not want to see the most finally happened.
At this critical juncture, the figures they dreaded would come to obstruct the breakthrough finally appeared.
With just a glance, Jiang Chengxuan and the others recognized the identity of the comers.
It was Bai Ziliang of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, the Sect Master of the Eternal Sword Sect, the Ancestor of the Qiankun Hall, Daolord Southbright, and others from the demonic path like Saint Ghost Spirit of the Ghost Hall and Saint Flying Demon of the Sacred Skeleton Sect.
For a moment.
The world changed color.
The atmosphere turned tense as their formidable energy pressed down towards the Haoran Sect’s gates.
“How dare you!”
Sect Master Xue Ping roared, fully activating the sect’s protective array.
The sky filled with streams of white energy formed from the Haoran Sect’s pure energy, each capable of claiming the life of a Dao Fusion Saint.
However, everyone who appeared here was at least in the Dao Mastery Realm.
Moreover, each of them had one or two heaven-connecting spiritual treasures.
It was clearly impossible for Jiang Chengxuan and the others to defeat them with the power of the array.
It was even possible that because of their arrival, the auras of both sides would affect each other and cause many uncontrollable variables to appear in Qin Shenwu’s breakthrough.
This might be the true goal of Bai Ziliang and Daolord Southbright.
The main purpose of their trip was to sabotage Qin Shenwu’s advancement.
As for the rest, it was not within their consideration.
“This won’t do. Continuing this way might still affect Senior Brother Qin’s advancement.
Once he breaks free from that state of Dao comprehension, it will probably be impossible for him to complete his advancement.”
At this moment, Xue Ping couldn’t help but speak with a tone heavy with concern.
“Then, Uncle Master Xue, is there any method to completely sever the external influences on my Shifu?” he asked.
Jiang Chengxuan was also somewhat anxious at this time.
For he too was acutely aware that for his Shifu, this attempt to break through to the Mahayana Realm might very well be his only chance.
Should this opportunity be missed, waiting for another such rare alignment of energies might no longer be possible.
Most crucially, for individuals at the level of Qin Shenwu to attempt a breakthrough, failure would inevitably trigger a heavenly tribulation.
At that point, it would no longer be a matter of whether the breakthrough was successful, but whether one could withstand the consequences of failure.
“There isn’t an absence of such methods,” Xue Ping spoke again.
“Unless there exists some kind of array that can completely isolate external energies.
However, such arrays are exceedingly rare, and at least within the Haoran Sect, or even in Thunderclap Valley, we do not possess such arrays.
If such an array could indeed be found, then perhaps Senior Brother Qin’s breakthrough could be almost guaranteed.
Unfortunately…”
As he said this, Xue Ping couldn’t help but shake his head in regret.
However, Shen Ruyan, standing beside Jiang Chengxuan, seemed to have thought of something and turned to Jiang Chengxuan, saying,
“Husband, do you think the natural restriction array we encountered in that natural herb garden could have the effect we’re talking about?”
“The natural restriction array in the herb garden?”
Suddenly hearing Shen Ruyan’s words, Jiang Chengxuan was initially taken aback, then his eyes lit up with excitement.
