Chapter 1126: Chapter 744: Thunderbolt Out of the Blue

True Master Xuan Yuan whispered: "Master, Profound Ice’s actions have always been unfathomable, difficult to predict. However, the results are often not bad."

"Humph."

Mysterious Trace True Master sneered: "Isn’t the Spirit Sword said to be unrivaled among sword infants of the same tier? How has it now become a cowardly turtle!"

Even until now, he couldn’t let go of his grievance towards Spirit Sword.

If it weren’t for True Monarch Qing Yun’s private bias back then, bestowing all the Nascent Soul Pill and protective spiritual objects, even sacrificing the Nascent Soul Origin to guide the Spirit Sword’s protection.

The Nascent Soul True Monarch of Cyan Cloud Sect might not have been Spirit Sword.

Mysterious Trace True Master was well aware that True Monarch Qing Yun did not believe he could prove his Dao as a Nascent Soul.

He couldn’t change True Monarch Qing Yun’s attitude.

Even though he worked diligently and tirelessly for the Cyan Cloud Sect, for two hundred years.

True Master Xuan Yuan advised: "Master, it’s all in the past."

Mysterious Trace True Master remained silent for a long time, finally letting out a deep sigh.

"Yes, it’s all in the past."

He looked up at the solitary moon in the sky, his figure bleak.

"I am old too, and my days are numbered."

The silent mountain wind made his robes flutter.

The master and disciple stood still for a long time, as if merging with this desolate mountain night scene.

True Master Xuan Yuan suddenly seemed to remember something, took out a green Jade Scroll from his sleeve.

"By the way, Master, Profound Ice has recently issued several Island Master Orders, and I specifically brought them for you to review."

"Oh?"

Mysterious Trace True Master took the Jade Scroll, his Divine Sense swept inside.

Auspicious Beast Order, Enrollment Expansion Order, Discount Order, Investment Recruitment Order, Pioneer Order, Development Order, Guarantee Order...

Clear and meticulous orders, interconnected.

He had been in charge of the Cyan Cloud Sect for two hundred years, and with his eight incarnations managing affairs, claimed that no one in the sect could surpass him in governance.

However, upon seeing these orders from Starlight Island, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Interesting, truly interesting!"

"But how can Starlight Island’s Spirit Vein bear the cost?"

Mysterious Trace True Master murmured to himself.

"Master, Profound Ice has invited True Monarch Tian Gong from Thousand Mechanism Sect, intending to connect Starlight Island’s Spirit Vein to the Tier Four Spirit Vein of the deep sea."

"In this way, it indeed makes sense, it’s quite a grand plan."

Mysterious Trace True Master’s despondency vanished, his body naturally straightened a bit, as he repeatedly examined the contents of the Jade Scroll.

After pondering for a long time.

Mysterious Trace True Master spoke: "Xuan Yuan, when Profound Ice defeats Wan Hai Laomo, invite him here for a conversation. Just say that this old man wishes to see him."

In his eyes, a long-lost sparkle appeared.

"Yes, Master."

True Master Xuan Yuan respectfully complied.

Seeing his master revitalized, no longer the gloomy shadow of the past, warmth surged in his heart.

No matter what, this was his teaching mentor.

His entire Daoist Techniques, imparted without reservation.

Even if his life was marginalized by the sect, even if the Dao path was uncertain.

He would serve by his master’s side, to nurture him until the end of his days.

On the mountain peak, Yuehua like a stream.

Mysterious Trace True Master still stood with hands behind his back, gazing into the depths of that endless starry river.

This time, his eyes were no longer void, as if a spark had quietly rekindled.

...

Profound Celestial Sect.

Purple Maple Peak, Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

Spiritual Mist entwined, Purple Maple True Monarch sat cross-legged on the Jade Platform.

Qin Baohua bowed in report, and stood silently to the side.

"Shen Xuan’s actions, to demonstrate power against Liang Country’s Demon Sect, lay heavy on minor foes nearby, temper his own Dao Heart. Since he dares to engage, he must have some chance against Wan Hai Laomo."

Qin Baohua was anxious: "Ancestor, perceive with clarity. But that Wan Hai Demon Monarch is not easy to deal with, the corpse dragon is formidable, and his Demon Technique is peculiar. Shen Xuan choosing to duel on the peak of Tianmo Mountain during the full moon night, isn’t it too risky?"

After all, Shen Xuan hasn’t undergone Nascent Soul Formation.

Even though he has various methods of Dao protection, capable of countering Nascent Soul power.

The timing and geography of magical combat also need to be considered.

Besides, Liang Country’s Demon Sect will surely dispatch several Demon Monarchs to attend, providing protection for Wan Hai Demon Monarch.

True Monarch Purple Maple instructed: "Baohua, cultivate well, do not lightly meddle in the causes and effects of others. Three months later, for the battle at Tianmo Mountain, I shall personally go to observe."

"The life-and-death magical combat of Tier Four Great Cultivators is rare to witness."

True Monarch Purple Maple smiled faintly, with concealed anticipation.

Others with similar thoughts include True Monarch Haori from Golden Sun Sect, True Monarch Tian Gong from Thousand Mechanism Sect, True Monarch Liuyun from Divine Sword Sect.

It is both to observe and to provide support.

No matter what, Shen Xuan’s battle will significantly impact the sect politics of Song and Liang Countries.
