Jia Lan Mingdeng was surrounded by a few Dharma cultivators from the Western Regions. Although they all appeared to be unmoved, Mingdeng knew that there was a crack in their hearts. It was not obvious now, but once they entered the arena, it would immediately expand infinitely, and in the end, it would be unstoppable!
"What? Are you worried that the Swordsman will be as ruthless and merciless towards you Western Regions cultivators? "
Everyone remained silent. Silence was also a form of attitude!
Ming Deng sighed! He was a veteran cultivator ranked in the top ten. The reason why he could not climb up was because he had not had a decent battle in the past hundred years. This was also in line with Jia Lan's usual style.
As the leader of the cultivators, he knew that he had an obligation to remind everyone of something.
"I can tell you very clearly that in the eyes of the Swordsman, you are no different from other cultivators! But there is a difference! It is not where you come from, but how you fight! "
Seeing everyone's puzzled gaze, Ming Deng explained, "Why are we here?
Is it because we have a grudge against Xuanyuan? No!
Are we really responding to the Supreme Three Pure Ones' call? Also no!
We are here because we are cultivators. Cultivators should have the ambitions of cultivators! No matter if it is a Swordsman or a body cultivator, even if it is a spell cultivator, we will still come here!
We are following our own Dao! Not some other messy stuff!
For the sake of Dao, we can give up our lives! As long as we can comprehend something from it!
Similarly, for the sake of Dao, we do not care if we make a fool of ourselves in front of thousands of Daoists! Do real cultivators have such a thing as face? "
Seeing that everyone seemed to have understood something, Ming Deng and the others said in a more serious tone, "The deaths of Yu Gu and Duan Baoshi were not caused by the ruthlessness of the Swordsman, but by their own problems! They place too much importance on fighting, so much so that it exceeds their ability to bear. Thus, they always hope to use some special methods to resolve it!
This is not the Dao of cultivators!
Let me ask you, if you were to encounter this Swordsman on the Five Ring Continent, and you were unable to defeat him, what would you do? "
The surrounding cultivators all had their own thoughts. One of them spoke the truth. "I will leave. If I felt that I couldn't win, I wouldn't have waited until the last moment … in truth, from the very start of the battle, we could have known many things. There was no need to reveal all of our cards. While there was still room to maneuver, the best plan was to leave!"
Ming Deng smiled, "Yes! Wasn't that pretty clear? Why is it that you don't understand the principles that you understood when you were traveling outside now that you are in front of thousands of Daoists? "
Everyone was deep in thought. In the end, it was still a matter of face! The situation was different. Sometimes, their path of retreat was cut off!
A cultivator asked, "Senior Martial Brother, regarding the Dao Heart, I'm afraid only those who have been there can truly understand the difference between retreating in the wilderness and retreating under the gaze of tens of thousands of people … If you can't walk out of it, it will affect you. I reckon that everyone here wants to save face, so …"
Ming Deng was surprised, "If you insist on thinking this way, then there's no difference whether you were born in the Western Regions or not! If you only treat this kind of situation as an opportunity to train yourself, you will understand something else!
The Swordsman is standing there. Do you think that he will definitely defend with his life? I don't think so!
The Swordsman's orthodoxy is extremely disgusting. To the outside world, they claim that they are unafraid of death and advance bravely. They are indifferent to life and death and are indomitable. These are just gimmicks!
Look at the inheritance passed down by their sword ancestor. The cornerstone is the Sword Manipulation! What is the Sword Manipulation? Isn't it just fighting if you can win and running if you can't win?
What about the Sword Heart? Courage? Where's your pride? They can all give up, just so that they can mess with you next time! This is the essence of the Sword Manipulation! It is also the essence of the Swordsman!
They say one thing, practice one thing, and do another thing! This is the nature of the Demon Sect!
The Swordsman can run and even glorify running away as the Sword Manipulation! On the other hand, we Dharma cultivators persevere for the so-called Dao Heart. Don't you think this is ridiculous? "
Ming Deng was still waiting for an explanation, but his consciousness transmitted over. He knew that the Three Pure Ones had invited him for a discussion. He sighed. These things were useless no matter what others said. They had to be understood by themselves. How could the reputation of the sect, the status of the Dharma lineage, and so on be more important to an individual than their own future?
It was normal to come! It was also normal to fight! Why was it abnormal to run when you couldn't win?
These words couldn't be explained clearly! Only when one's Dao Heart was clear would they understand that the essence of the cultivation world was competition. The essence of competition was that if they couldn't win this time, they would fight for the next time! They would be able to fight for the one time that belonged to them!
Why didn't the top few Foundation Establishment cultivators bring Death Substitution Talismans? Did they really view life and death so indifferently and fearlessly and return to the Great Dao?
Bullshit! They didn't bring Death Substitution Talismans because they wouldn't easily put themselves in a situation of certain death! If they felt that something was wrong, they would definitely run faster than rabbits!
They would try their best, but they definitely wouldn't fight to the death! The difference was huge! Did they really think that giving you a Death Substitution Talisman was because of their good relationship and deep feelings? They were just asking people to risk their lives!
The few of them gathered again. Wushang Shang Xin, Three Purities Shouru, and Jia Lan Mingdeng all had grave expressions!
Shouru went straight to the point. "Our morale is low and can't be salvaged! If we send them up one by one like this, I'm afraid that when it's our turn, we won't have any fighting spirit! The original plan isn't feasible. We need to change it! "
Shang Xin nodded in agreement. "Senior Brother, how do you think we should change it?"
Shouru said in a low voice, "Simplify it to ten people! We'll go up in advance! If we don't succeed, we'll leave it to those pretentious people! "
This time, the three major regions had gathered more than thirty experts to prepare for continuous attacks. Now that two rounds had passed, they didn't see any results. Instead, their confidence was getting weaker and weaker!
The facts proved that. Under the Swordsman's powerful ability to fight quickly, there wasn't any real strength that could contend with him. There was no future in relying on stalling for time and patience!
Those pretentious people were referring to those cultivators who were ranked in the top ten but disdained to rely on collective strength to solve problems. They always wanted to rely on individual strength to solve problems. If you had such ambition, why didn't you go earlier? Didn't you just hide behind and watch the situation quietly …
Mingdeng sighed. "This is good too. It saves us from killing too many people. The glory of my Dharma lineage isn't something that can be shaken by a sword! However, in my Western Region, because of reasons that everyone knows, there are limited experts. If we want to meet Senior Brother Shouru's conditions, including me, we can only find two people who are barely qualified … "
Shouru didn't complain. This was a very normal thing. Being in the Western Region, there was Xuanyuan, this huge mountain, suppressing them. Even if the dome never said anything similar, some concerns couldn't be pretended to be stupid!
The cultivation world also had its ways of the world. The Foundation Establishment level had it. How could the Jin Dan Yuanying Perfected Monarch not have it? Even if one became an immortal, one could treat these as nothing?
