608: Yuanxu Sect

Yu Qianhong's failure to slay the three corpse had ruined Chen De's plan to advance to the Ninth Transformation in one go.

However, the gains he had made so far meant the trip hadn't been in vain.

Where should he go next... Xu Kun Sect, Fen Tian Palace, Prison Heart Pavilion, Yu You Hall, Nine Absolute Sword Sect, Guixin Hall, Dou Yuan Hall, Heavenly Ice Pavilion, Luohong Hall, Yuanxu Sect.

Among the Ten Sects of the Sacred Ring, Luohong Hall had already been destroyed, and the Nine Absolute Sword Sect was too powerful, so neither was within Chen De's considerations.

It wasn't like when he first arrived in the Sacred Ring Domain; his mind was now filled with intelligence regarding the ten sects.

Currently, the most suitable destination among the remaining nine was the Yuanxu Sect.

In terms of strength among the nine sects, it was middling—the type that would be relatively easy to take down.

Moreover, after taking it over, there was a high chance it could push Chen De into the Ninth Transformation.

At that time, in the entire Sacred Ring Domain, perhaps only Xie Feng, who had slain the three corpse, would be able to contend with him.

After making his decision, Chen De immediately moved toward the Yuanxu Sect.

With his current cultivation, getting there was much faster than when he first arrived... "Sect Master, have you truly made up your mind?"

"My mind is made up; do not try to persuade me further."

"But... you are, after all, the pillar of our sect. If something goes wrong with Slaying Three Corpses, our sect will fall into an irrecoverable abyss."

"But we have no choice now. If I don't break through, it's uncertain if the Yuanxu Sect will even exist in the future.

Looking at Xie Feng's performance at the convention back then, he seemed quite intent on consolidating the ten sects."

Inside the Yuanxu Sect, Sect Master Xu Lan sat upon the sect master's throne.

Below him were the three most core and trusted elders of the sect.

They were currently arguing about something, a topic that had been debated incessantly since Xu Lan's return.

It was precisely the question of whether or not he should attempt to slay the three corpse.

The three elders had consistently held opposing views, but Xu Lan's attitude was extremely stubborn.

Although he didn't need to consult the three elders and could still do as he pleased,

within a sect, especially regarding major affairs, the greatest taboo was acting willfully and being opinionated.

Xu Lan said, "Furthermore, among the other nine sects, I am definitely not the only one with this idea. Xie Feng has proven the feasibility of the Three Corpses Severing Method; others will surely try again."

"At that time, once a few more Half-Saints emerge, the Yuanxu Sect will no longer hold its former status. It will be even worse than now, reduced to cannon fodder caught in the cracks between major powers."

Seeing that they could not shake the Sect Master's resolve, the three Great Elders looked at each other and made their decisions.

The Sect Master's words were not without merit; they truly did need a powerhouse who had slain the three corpse to preside over them.

One of the elders stepped forward and asked in a heavy voice, "If the Sect Master truly intends to slay the three corpse, how much certainty do you have?"

Xu Lan had already considered this many times and immediately gave an answer: "Before Xie Feng succeeded, I only had a ten percent chance. But now, I have fifty percent."

Everyone was originally about the same; why should Xie Feng succeed while he could not?

Saying he had a fifty percent chance was actually a modest estimate.

In reality, Xu Lan had at least a seventy percent certainty.

Xie Feng being the first to succeed was nothing more than him being bolder and more impulsive than the rest.

The current situation was all Xie Feng's fault; the balance that had existed for countless billions of years had been shattered just like that.

Fifty percent!

Hearing that the Sect Master had such high certainty, the three elders were somewhat shocked.

If that were the case, then slaying the three corpse might be worth a gamble.

Otherwise, by remaining so cautious, the disappearance of the Yuanxu Sect would only be a matter of time.

Seeing the wavering expressions of the three Great Elders, Xu Lan smiled slightly and gave them another reassurance.

"Have you forgotten? My spiritual treasure is the Immortal-grade Peak-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, the yuanxu plate, which has the effect of balancing.

Using it specifically during cultivation can greatly increase the probability of a successful breakthrough.

This is an advantage the other nine sects do not possess."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three Great Elders immediately stated their position: "We support the Sect Master in slaying the three corpse and are willing to protect you for this purpose, even if we must be ground to dust."

"Hahahahaha!"

Xu Lan laughed loudly upon hearing this. "Good. Elders, I believe you will not be disappointed. Now, let us arrange the specific details."

After some arrangements, just as Yu Qianhong had done before attempting to slay the three corpse, Xu Lan also entrusted the Three Corpses Severing Method to the three elders for safekeeping.

Although he was indeed very certain of a successful breakthrough, no matter how high the certainty, failure was still possible.

To prevent any accidents, he had to make some preparations in advance.

After the three Great Elders left, Xu Lan also began his preparations for secluded meditation.

Outside, the Yuanxu Sect appeared the same as usual on the surface, but in reality, it had entered a sensitive state.

The period of Xu Lan's seclusion would be the most vulnerable time for the Yuanxu Sect.

Therefore, the news was still only known to those three elders; others followed certain orders even if they didn't understand them.

At the same time, a truly great, truly kind Supreme Holy Mother who could truly bring them a beautiful life had already entered their territory.

Chen De felt the simple and honest folk customs here and vowed to Influence everyone here.

To this end, he would spare no cost.

Thus, Chen De went directly to a massive life-bearing planet and waved his hand to erase it.

Such a vast planet was evaporated into the starry sky just like that.

Even with Chen De's broad-mindedness for the greater good, he couldn't help but feel a little sad at this moment.

Of course, even if a small flower or a blade of grass died before him, Chen De would still be so sad he'd want to shed tears.

Chen De's current plan was to first attract a minor character, Influence them, and then sneak into the Yuanxu Sect to see how things played out.

It was obviously unlikely to draw out a big shot right away like he did at Luohong Hall.

After all, there had been a specific reason at Luohong Hall, and Chen De knew what it was.

Unless the Sect Master of this Yuanxu Sect also wanted to slay the three corpse... As he thought about it, Chen De's smile faded.

Because it seemed that was indeed a possibility, and a very high one at that.

Of course, there was another major reason why Chen De thought this.

That was because standing before him was a fellow at the peak of the Eighth Transformation of the Immortal Law Realm.

The Third Elder of the Yuanxu Sect looked at the person before him who had come to destroy one of their sect's life-bearing planets.

The sect was so tense right now, yet someone had come to cause trouble.

To prevent sending someone who couldn't finish the job in one go, leading to continued harassment,

and because peace was currently the most important thing for the sect, he had come personally.

During this period, he would directly obliterate all restless factors to avoid any chaos.

Chen De was somewhat silent, not because he couldn't handle the guy in front of him, but because he couldn't handle him quickly.

After all, this was the other party's base; it wasn't suitable for a fight to drag on for too long.
