"If that's the case, it's not like I can't agree to it …"
"After all, One Dao Sect is indeed incredibly powerful. Legend has it that there is a Great Dao Paragon guarding it. In fact, I even heard that the ancestor of One Dao Sect … is one of the three great Dao Gods …"
"The three great Dao Gods are just legends. Besides the Emperor of Ancient Zang, no one has ever seen a second one. But even though it's just a legend, it's impossible for it to be a baseless rumor."
"Forget about this ninth level Dao God whose existence we don't even know exists, there are less than thirty eighth level Dao Paragons in all of Ancient Zang's seven sects, twelve clans, and the royal capital!
Compared to nearly sixty seventh level Dao Paragons, the existence of a Great Dao Paragon is like heaven itself! "
"Great Dao Paragon … If the Great Sect Elder of the first line of Seven Moons Sect had not been injured in the past, he might have become a Great Dao Paragon by now."
Su Ming did not speak, but when he heard the sighs from the sect elders around him, he understood that there were no Great Dao Paragons in Seven Moons Sect!
And there were less than thirty Great Dao Paragons in Ancient Zang!
'The blue-robed cultivator in the seventh layer of Sky Beyond the Sky is clearly a seventh level Dao Paragon.' Su Ming fell into deep thought, but he also formed his own judgment regarding One Dao Sect, the leader of the seven sects, asking for the disciples who had lived for the past sixty years.
'Perhaps what they want … is me!' A barely noticeable glint shone in Su Ming's eyes.
Lan Lan was silent for a moment before she said slowly, "This matter has already surpassed what we sect elders can discuss. I wonder if you have already made your decision, Great Sect Elder Han."
She was not the only one who thought of this. In truth, all the sect elders in the area were old monsters who had practiced cultivation for many years. They were full of schemes, and their previous words had been spoken intentionally. They would only affect the situation and not voice their own judgment.
The red-robed man was silent for a moment before a fierce glare shone in his eyes. At the instant his gaze appeared, the expressions of the sect elders around him immediately became stern.
"One Dao Sect has already given us the conditions to exchange for our disciples. No matter what … One Dao Sect's goal is, it's not impossible … but there are two people who put me in a slightly difficult position.
"One of them is my disciple Ye Long. He has extraordinary potential, and after he follows me for some time, he will become a great genius. "The second … is Sect Elder Wang Tao," the red-robed man said flatly. Most of the sect elders in the area cast their gazes towards Su Ming.
In truth, all of them had thought of this problem before, but this matter involved the sect elders, and Su Ming did not seem to be a good person either. Naturally, no one would say something like this out loud.
Su Ming remained as calm as ever. He did not speak.
"Since that's the case, we cannot compromise in this matter. Besides Sect Elder Wang, the other thirteen sect elders will order you to leave the Fifth Layer of Sky Beyond the Sky. Bring your disciples to guard the thirteen directions around Seven Moons Sect!
The only ones left in the Fifth Heaven Beyond Heaven are your fellow sect members from the various lineages. Although they are not elders, their cultivation bases are not bad, and they are enough to guard the place.
Notify the disciples of the fourth layer of Sky Beyond Sky to start patrolling the sect. As for the disciples of the first layer of Sky Beyond Sky … seal the sect!
I will personally take charge and activate the Seven Moons Snow Array. This is not a child's play. You all better behave yourselves! If he met with danger outside that he could not resist, he should immediately hide inside the formation.
"As for … Sect Elder Wang, since you might be someone One Dao Sect needs, that is why … you should continue staying in the fifth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky. Unless it is absolutely necessary, do not go out."
Su Ming was momentarily stunned. He lifted his head and cast a deep glance at the red-robed man. In silence, he remembered the person in the sky-blue Daoist robe. When that person saw Su Ming, he had immediately decided to take him in as a disciple and even gave him the status of a sect elder. Right then, under the pressure from One Dao Sect … even the red-robed man had made the same decision.
No matter what his goal was, Su Ming stood up slowly in silence and wrapped his fist in his palm to bow to the red-robed man.
When he saw Su Ming bow to him, the red-robed man's expression remained calm. Not a single hint of change could be detected on his face. He only nodded and swept his gaze past the pearl on his palm. He remembered the conversations the thirteen great sect elders had when he returned to the seventh layer of Sky Beyond the Sky.
"All orders are to be carried out immediately!" The red-robed man stood up. When he spoke, he swung his arm, and the door to the meeting hall immediately flew open. The group, including Su Ming, turned into long arcs and flew out. Only the red-robed man and the aloof young man in black robes remained in the hall.
"Master, I don't understand this. It's unlikely that One Dao Sect came for junior brother Ye Long. There is a high chance … that they came for Sect Elder Wang." The young man frowned and looked at the red-robed man.
The red-robed man was silent for a moment before he said slowly, "I know."
"Then why …" The young man stared at his Master and asked with slight worry in his voice. He still remembered what Sect Elder Lan Lan had said about his Master's Life Matrix clashing with Wang Tao's and that he was about to die.
"This is a decision made by the thirteen great sect elders, including me. This person … is the most precious person in Seven Moons Sect!" The red-robed man's expression was as calm as ever. When he spoke, no one could tell whether he was happy or angry.
The young man was silent. He sighed in his heart and wrapped his fist in his palm to bow to the red-robed man before leaving respectfully.
When he left, the red-robed man stood alone and stared into the distance quietly.
'Seven Moons Sect can die, but we cannot allow anything to happen to this person. These are the words of the great sect elder of the first line … This person is the key for him and the other great sect elders to become Great Dao Paragons!
'He is also the key for me to become a Dao Paragon …' Hope appeared in the red-robed man's eyes. When he turned around, he disappeared from the hall.
At that moment, the sect elders in the fifth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky, including Su Ming, immediately turned into long arcs and returned to their own mountains to carry out Great Sect Elder Dao Han's orders.
As for Su Ming, he returned to the mountain of the third line with Lan Lan. They did not speak to each other, but when the two of them were about to return to their cave abodes, Lan Lan's footsteps came to a halt.
"Do you want me to tell you the dangers of your divination?"
"I don't believe in fate." Su Ming turned around and walked to the house on the cliff. When he returned to his real body, which was sitting cross-legged, he overlapped with his real body and gradually disappeared. Lan Lan was silent. She turned around and returned to her palace at the top of the mountain.
Soon after, as the entire Seven Moons Sect roared, snow fell from the sky. Once it covered Seven Moons Sect, an ice sun appeared above it!
A figure could be seen sitting cross-legged in the cold sun. Naturally, it was the red-robed man. Once he sat down, snowflakes with a grim, murderous air enveloped Seven Moons Sect.
At the same time, a loud bang shot up from the first layer of Sky Beyond the Sky, and the entire outer sect was instantly covered in snow, as if the mountain had been sealed. If anyone cast their gaze over the area, they would find that Seven Moons Sect in the basin was already covered in snow. Not a single trace of what was inside could be seen.
Soon after, thirteen long arcs flew out from the fifth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky. They left the mountains and walked out of Sky Beyond the Sky to scatter in thirteen directions around Seven Moons Sect. Those thirteen directions were the regions with the most cracks in the world.
A large number of inner sect disciples also went out from the fourth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky to begin patrolling Seven Moons Sect in an intense manner.
Only Su Ming sat cross-legged outside the house and continued immersing himself in the process of fusing with the seven shadows. He could already sense the signs of the fusion. Perhaps he just needed a little more time before he could fuse the seven shadows together and turn them into a Dao Shadow that belonged solely to him!
Time passed. During the three years after Seven Moons Sect put up tight defenses, more cracks appeared in the world beyond Seven Moons Sect. Then, on a rainy day in summer, while snow was falling in Seven Moons Sect, the world outside was raining cats and dogs …
A loud sound that sounded like thunder but was several times stronger than thunder descended with a bang. As it echoed in the air, the sky beyond Seven Moons Sect instantly became filled with countless cracks, as if the sky was about to collapse. The cracks formed a huge picture in the sky.
That picture looked like the outline of a statue!
It was one of the three statues of One Dao Sect. When the outline of the statue appeared, loud booming sounds came from the ground. Huge ravines rose and fell, as if Seven Moons Sect was surrounded by cracks that came from the world.
At that moment, an ancient voice suddenly reverberated in the sky.
"One …" That voice only managed to utter one word before astonishing whistles shot out from the ravines on the ground. As the whistles rose and fell, figures shot out in a flash from the cracks.
At first glance, they looked as if they had flown out from the ground, but in truth … they had come from the cracks. The figures had cold expressions on their faces, and with grim killing intent, they charged towards Seven Moons Sect.
"Dao …" When the second voice came from the sky, the sky tumbled about. Around a dozen figures instantly descended from the crack that formed the outline of the statue. They exuded an ancient presence, and once they appeared, they charged towards Seven Moons Sect!
At the same time, the thirteen sect elders guarding outside Seven Moons Sect opened their eyes simultaneously. In an instant, they disappeared, and when they reappeared, they were already in front of the dozen something figures. As booming sounds echoed in the air, they blocked their path.
Soon after, the Seven Moons Snow Rune was activated. As snow and wind howled, Seven Moons Sect looked as if it no longer existed. It was enveloped by a huge blizzard that shot into the clouds. From the distance, it looked like a dragon of ice and snow roaring at the world.
"Sect!" This was the third word spoken by the voice that echoed in the universe. At the instant it appeared, the space in front of Seven Moons Sect was torn apart with a loud bang, revealing a huge ravine that was hundreds of thousands of feet long. It looked as if it had been torn apart by an invisible pair of hands. At the instant it was torn apart, a black wind dragon covered in countless cracks charged towards the ice, snow, and whirlwind with a roar.
"Hand over all the disciples who have been in the sect for the past one hundred years! Or else … we'll fight! "
"If you want to fight, then … we'll fight!" A face appeared in the whirlwind at that moment. That face belonged to the red-robed man!
"I think I've misunderstood … Yesterday, I said that tomorrow is Monday, and on Tuesday, I will release four chapters … It should be a misunderstanding. That damn sentence break … My fellow Daoists, please believe me. If my original intention was really to release four chapters in two consecutive days, I will not shirk my responsibility!
"Tomorrow, I will release four chapters, and in the future, I will try to reduce the number of broken chapters, especially at the end …
