Chapter 557: The Key in Deciding Positions
“But why would they do something like that?” Ling Chuxi asked, unable to understand. As a cultivator, everyone would hope for their cultivation to be stronger the better of course. However, just like Mo Kongyuan said, only by walking along one’s own martial arts path could one truly become a peak cultivator. It was not possible for Ding Lin Country’s guardian to not understand this logic as well, so what was his intention in putting in so much effort to dismantle the effects of Mo Kongyuan’s Great Fists Skill?
“Do you all really think that the great vassal countries assessment competition determines the position of a country? What do you think Ding Lin Country did in order to dominate its position as the sovereign state? Is their country’s strength truly that strong? Besides Ding Lin Country and the other five vassal countries, there were originally still three more countries, weren’t there? And how did those three forgotten countries get swallowed up and destroyed?” asked Mo Kongyuan.
“It is all because of the guardians of each country,” answered Ling Chuxi. She had heard before what the duties of a guardian were and so could understand the meaning behind his words.
“That’s right. The guardian is the key point in determining the life and death of a country. Ding Lin Country is very ambitious and had always wanted to swallow other countries whole. Chu Fengyun’s meticulous hard work in finding a way to resolve my 27 Hands Great Fists Skill is not something sufficient to feel surprised about. Although he had thought of a resolving method, he was not daring enough to suddenly attack me. Therefore, he sent out Feng Zitian to probe first,” deduced Mo Kongyuan.
“Mister Mo, I’m sorry. I should not have used the Great Fists Skill just now,” said Ling Chuxi in apology.
“No worries. If my Great Fists Skill was so easily resolved, then how could I have kept Nan Xia Country safe for seventy years with my strength alone?” digressed Mo Kongyuan. His standing figure was free and unrestrained, giving off a noble, worthy-of-admiration feeling.
Ling Chuxi thought about it and also thought it to be true. She herself had just merely secretly learnt a few moves belonging to Mo Kongyuan’s Great Fists Skill and used them superficially. How could it be compared with Mo Kongyuan’s entire lifetime of cultivation? If Chu Fengyun really thought that by his disciple being able to resolve Ling Chuxi’s execution of Great Fists Skill meant that he would be able to resolve Mo Kongyuan’s execution of Great Fists Skill, then he would definitely die an ugly death.
“Mister Mo, whose cultivation is strongest amongst the six guardians?” asked Ling Chuxi curiously.
“Talking about cultivation, it should be Chu Fengyun who is strongest. However, if we were to come to blows, his desire to gain victory over the others will not be so easy. As for killing them, that is something that should not even be thought of,” said Mo Kongyuan conceitedly. If Chu Fengyun could easily kill the other guardians, their six countries would not be in such a situation today.
“I feel like there is something very wrong with this upcoming Guardian Gathering. Why don’t you just skip it?” said Ling Chuxi worriedly.
“I also do not wish to go, but I have to,” replied Mo Kongyuan with a sigh.
“Is it because of the happening at Little Silver Ancient Mountain?” Ling Chuxi had already held in this question for a very long time and finally she decided to open her mouth to ask it.
“That’s right, it is precisely because of that,” said Mo Kongyuan with a nod.
“I have been to the Silver Ancient Mountain Range quite a few times but I have never heard of the Little Silver Ancient Mountain. What kind of a place exactly is it?” asked Ling Chuxi.
“You have all seen monster beasts before, right?” asked Mo Kongyuan.
“Yes, we have,” replied Ling Chuxi, Fu Chengyu and Ling Yichen in unison. Wind Owl Beast, Slate Beast, Shocking Thunder Beast and Lan Xinyu’s Battle Wolf, thinking about carefully, Ling Chuxi felt that she had really encountered quite a few monster beasts, but did not know why Mo Kongyuan would ask about this.
“What do you all think about the level of such monster beasts’ cultivation?” Mo Kongyuan then asked.
“In the past I felt they were quite strong, but now, I think they’re just mediocre?” answered Ling Chuxi after she thought about it. With her current cultivation level, no need to mention the Wind Owl Beast, but even if she encountered a Level 8 monster beast like the Shocking Thunder Beast, she would have the certainty of an absolute kill victory.
