As the saying goes, a defeated army is like a landslide.
The Celestial Wizard Clan's Grand Elder was injured and lost his fighting spirit, which directly affected the Celestial Wizard clansmen's fighting spirit and combat effectiveness. As they retreated and fled, their blood dyed the seawater red and their corpses turned into fodder for the fishes.
"KILL!"
Daoist Zixuan, who was ruthless in her pursuit of the stray dogs, didn't hold back and unleashed all kinds of divine abilities, causing great damage to the Celestial Wizard clansmen. If it wasn't for Astraeus Soloch, the Celestial Wizard Clan's Grand Elder, who was seriously injured to block the joint pursuit of Tan Xiu and Daoist Zixuan, only a handful of Celestial Wizard clansmen would have been able to escape this sea area.
On the 13th deserted island.
Tan Xiu stopped his men from continuing the pursuit and let the more than 20 Celestial Wizard clansmen disappear into the distant sea. In this battle, he had lost many of his subordinates, but every one of them who had experienced the battle had a stronger killing intent than before, and their auras were also stronger than before.
"Awen!"
Tan Xiu looked at the neat team in front of him and the blood stained bodies of his men. Then, he suddenly shouted in a deep voice, "I'll leave this interspatial ring to you. Put the corpses of our fallen brothers inside it. Once we return to Nine Dragons Island, we'll immediately set up a cemetery and bury all our fallen brothers in it. "
"I'll arrange it as soon as I return." Mo Awen took the ring and nodded repeatedly.
Tan Xiu turned to look at Ji Chimei and asked, "Have you collected the things I asked you to?"
"I've collected them all, Venerable Lord," replied Ji Chimei respectfully. "Also, I've collected the souls of the two Whole Unitary Sect disciples who died in the battle. How are you going to deal with them?"
Tan Xiu glanced at Daoist Zixuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the reef and silently recuperating. Then, he indifferently said, "Return them to them. We're comrades who have gone through trials and tribulations together, after all."
"But Venerable Lord, I think we should …" interjected Ji Chimei.
Tan Xiu raised his hand to interrupt her and said in a deep voice, "We need cultivation resources, but we don't need to use the souls of our comrades as bargaining chips. Ji Chimei, you must remember that there are some things that you can do and some things that you can't. You must measure them with a ruler in your heart and consider them with the wisdom of the world. Today, if the Whole Unitary Sect watches without doing anything, even if my goal of training troops is achieved, I'm afraid the losses will be even greater. "
Ji Chimei respectfully replied, "This subordinate will bear it in mind. My Lord, I don't understand what you mean by your last sentence. "
Tan Xiu replied in a deep voice, "Survival of the fittest is a natural selection. I need my subordinates to experience bloody battles to grow up on the edge of life and death, but that doesn't mean their lives are cheap. In my heart, they were my men, but they were also my brothers. In the future, on the battlefield, they might be my second or third life … Being able to increase their strength and avoid death as much as possible is the most important thing. "
Ji Chimei said, "Boss, their lives are given by Master. Their achievements are also cultivated by Master and you. It's only right and proper for them to live and die for you. They're just ants in my eyes, and I believe they're also not much stronger than ants in your eyes. Why did you … "
Tan Xiu raised his hand to interrupt her and coldly said, "Ji Chimei, there's an old saying in Huaxia that one must never forget one's roots. Everyone is an ant-like existence that grows up step by step. I am, and so are you. The moment we're born, we're babies crying piteously for food. If other powerhouses had the same thinking as you, would you have been able to live until now? Would you have such high achievements? "
Ji Chimei calmly looked at Tan Xiu and suddenly understood Tan Xiu's true thoughts. A smile appeared on the corner of her eyes. She suddenly felt that this affectionate and righteous Lord seemed to be completely different from the Supremacy in the Immortal World. Although the Supreme-Being rarely slaughtered the weak, his eyes were always filled with disdain, as though his heart was a block of ice. But now, the Supreme-Being's heart was a ball of fire. Although his strength was still very weak, it wouldn't be long before the fire in his heart would burn and burn everything in this vast world.
Ji Chimei looked at Tan Xiu and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Lord, may this subordinate be so bold as to ask you something? What is your cultivation?"
"Mind cultivation."
Tan Xiu looked up at the clear sky. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through the vault of heaven and see through the world of mortals. He murmured, "My heart is the Heavens, and I am the Heavens. People live a life of great freedom and freedom. Whether it's humans, immortals, gods, demons, ghosts, or monsters, none can bind my heart. Even if it's a shackle on my head, this Lord will sooner or later poke a hole in it. "
Ji Chimei's eyes flickered as she respectfully saluted and said, "Lord, you were once a Supreme in the Immortal World. You'll definitely reach the summit of the Immortal World in the future."
The summit of the Immortal World?
The position of Supreme?
Tan Xiu quickly converged his mind and gradually immersed himself in the universe inside his Dantian. Ever since he made a breakthrough in his cultivation, he could faintly sense the existence of a life force. Therefore, he inferred that once he made another breakthrough in his strength, he would be able to completely sense its existence and could even make it undergo a great change.
"Heavenly Path Universe Tree."
If he could have a Heavenly Path Universe Tree grow strong in his inner world and grow to the level of that divine tree, it would be easy for him to enter the God Realm. At that time, he would no longer have to conquer the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Spirit Realms, but the higher God Realm.
After a long time …
Tan Xiu looked at the neatly arranged team and said in a deep voice, "Ji Chimei, give each member who participated in the battle a Holy Healing pill. Additionally, give them medicinal pills according to their military merits. Tell them that apart from Tang Guang, Tang An, and Gu Xiaoxue, whoever breaks through to the Golden Core Stage first will become the commander of the Everlasting Feast Hall's core disciples. "
"Understood!"
Ji Chimei replied and flashed to the front of the team.
Tan Xiu then walked toward Daoist Zixuan. Upon seeing her open her eyes and stop recuperating, Tan Xiu handed over the pendant Ji Chimei had just given him and indifferently said, "Here's a gift for you."
Daoist Zixuan's eyes were a bit red. After receiving the jade pendant, she glanced at the other eight disciples around her and said bitterly, "Thank you, Daoist Tang."
"Don't you want to know what this gift is?" asked Tan Xiu indifferently.
Daoist Zixuan stared blankly and immediately asked, "What is this?"
"There's a method to collect souls in the inheritance I got," said Tan Xiu. "I'll give the souls of Jin Yunzi and Jin Yanzi to you for the sake of your Whole Unitary Sect's disciples fighting side by side with my people. In the future, if someone from your Whole Unitary Sect breaks through to the Crossing Tribulation Stage and goes through the three-in-nine lightning tribulation, you can reconstruct their bodies and wake them up. "
"What?!"
Daoist Zixuan's eyes were filled with disbelief. She quickly raised her hand and stared at the jade pendant in her palm. Her breathing turned rapid.
"You … you mean, this jade pendant contains the souls of Jin Yunzi and Jin Yanzi? Their three souls and seven spirits are all there? And there's hope for them to be resurrected in the future? "
"That's right," said Tan Xiu. "But if your Whole Unitary Sect wants to get the method to resurrect them, you'll need to exchange it with something. I can give you their souls, but you'll have to fight for the method yourself. "
"Daoist Tang, what … what do you need?" asked Daoist Zixuan with an ecstatic expression.
"Don't you know what I need?" asked Tan Xiu with a faint smile.
Daoist Zixuan stared blankly for a moment. Then, a look of understanding appeared on her face and she said with all seriousness, "I understand. You can rest assured that I'll do my best to meet your needs no matter the price. I only hope that I can resurrect my two disciples in the future. "
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "The battle between us and the Celestial Wizard Clan has come to an end for the time being. They suffered heavy losses this time, so I'm afraid they won't easily attack us again. You need to return to your sect, so don't delay any longer. I'll be staying in Nine Dragons Island for the next two months, waiting for your arrival. "
"We'll bring more cultivation resources in the shortest time possible," said Daoist Zixuan. "However, I have another request that I hope Daoist Tang can agree to."
"Speak!"
Said Tan Xiu calmly.
With a bit of expectation, Daoist Zixuan said, "If my guess is correct, the swords you and your men absorbed into your bodies should be immortal swords of a higher level than magic tools. If my Whole Unitary Sect can come up with more cultivation resources, can you give us some immortal swords in exchange? "
Tan Xiu squinted his eyes and lightly said, "You really have a big appetite, Daoist Zixuan. I'm sure you're very clear about what kind of weapon an immortal sword is. How many cultivation resources do you think I need to exchange for an immortal sword? "
"This …"
Daoist Zixuan was speechless. She naturally knew what kind of weapon the Immortal World was. Such an Immortal World was definitely the most precious treasure that all cultivators on Earth yearned for. Even a mountain of gold and silver couldn't buy it. Her Whole Unitary Sect did have a lot of cultivation resources, but it was probably far from enough to exchange for an immortal sword.
"Forget it. I won't make things difficult for you," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile. "I'll make a list of cultivation resources later. If your Whole Unitary Sect can gather the amount I need, I can give you two immortal swords in exchange."
"Alright. Our sect will definitely get the cultivation resources on Earth and we'll trade with you," said Daoist Zixuan firmly.
Half a day later.
Tan Xiu led the surviving core members of the Everlasting Feast Hall back to Nine Dragons Island. But as soon as he came back, he issued an order to build an airtight surveillance zone within 200 nautical miles around Nine Dragons Island. Anyone who appeared within 200 nautical miles must be detected immediately.
After giving the order …
He then returned to the palace and continued to immerse himself in cultivation. 3,000 of the most outstanding children would soon be sent here. He needed to seize the time to restore his strength to its peak and then arrange an array within an array to create an excellent training ground.
