Chapter 2431 - The Sinful Radiant Sword Saint
Mu Xuankong heaved in relief after hearing what the Divine Phoenix Holy Master said. The Divine Phoenix Holy Master’s seniority and strength were the strongest among them, and there was nothing Mu Xuankong could say if he wanted to become the commander. But he didn’t expect that the Divine Phoenix Holy Master would let him be the commander instead, which made Mu Xuankong respect him even more.
“Let’s not waste time, then,” Mu Xuankong said. “According to the information we received, we’re still inferior to them in regards to our numbers of Great Saints, so we’ll focus on defending.
Everyone nodded in acknowledgment upon hearing that. After all, it was evident that Tian Xuanzi would join hands with three holy lands and Black Mountain’s Seven Saints, not to mention that he must have had more preparations in the dark.
“The Sword Sect’s Great Profound Sword Canon has three levels. The entire sect is a layer, the hundred and eight peaks are the second layer, and the seven main peaks are the third layer, with the Scarlet Firmament Peak as the main peak. As long as the Scarlet Firmament Peak isn’t destroyed, we will have an endless flow of earth energy, and the saint veins won’t be destroyed. Since we also can’t allow Martial Ancestor Radiant to be disrupted, our final goal is to protect the Scarlet Firmament Peak.”
Any cultivator would have to extract spiritual energy for their tribulation, and one would require more spiritual energy for the Emperor's Tribulation. They didn’t have much of a choice about it, and it was fortunate that the Sword Sect used to be a holy land. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to support the Radiant Sword Saint in his tribulation.
Since they had to help the Radiant Sword Saint in his tribulation, they would have to protect the saint vein from destruction. Whether the Radiant Sword Saint could succeed, they could only leave it to fate. The odds of the Radiant Sword Saint succeeding in his tribulation were close to none, but that didn’t mean the Radiant Sword Saint had no chance.
But if the saint veins were destroyed or the Radiant Sword Saint was interrupted, he wouldn’t even have a wisp of a chance.
Mu Xuankong said, “So I have to trouble the holy master and Senior Azure Python to guard the Scarlet Firmament Peak. As for the other main peaks, we can arrange for two Great Saints to be stationed there,” Mu Xuankong said.
“But we don’t seem to have enough people. We still need another Great Saint,” the Azure Python Great Saint said. After all, they only had thirteen Great Saints in total.
“Hmph!” Lil’ Purple snorted as she sat on the hovering Iris Sword Box. She looked like a little girl, and she was naturally neglected.
The Divine Phoenix Holy Master said, “Lord Phoenix can withstand a Great Saint. So don’t worry about it.”
“Don’t forget my junior brother, Jian Jingtian. I heard that he had already left the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect, with all the swords in the Profound Wither Sea snapped. So when he comes, he can also withstand a Great Saint,” Ye Guhan smiled.
As the Heavenly Jade Sword Saint spoke, tears rolled down the corner of her eyes, and she furiously said, “You know how much he owes me? He can never return the favor to me for the rest of his lifetime! You know how much I hate him? I hate why he’s so stubborn, wanting to fight for that slight chance even now. Does he not know that many people are worried about him? He owes me so much, and I have never forgotten it...”
Sensing the terrifying Emperor’s Tribulation, the Heavenly Jade Sword Saint’s heart finally collapsed. She roared, “Jian Wuming, you better live well! Otherwise, I won’t let you die peacefully, and I mean my words!”
The Serene Dust Great Saint yelled, “Jian Wuming, did you hear that? This madwoman can do what she says, and I can’t stop her if she wants to slaughter the entire Sword Sect if you die!”
The Heavenly Jade Sword Saint looked at the Serene Dust Great Saint furiously. But the Serene Dust Great Saint didn’t cower and glared back at the Heavenly Jade Sword Saint, and they burst into laughter a moment later.
At the Indigo Firmament Peak, the Dragon Origin Great Saint was stationed there, looking at the terrifying aura released by the Emperor’s Tribulation. He drank wine as he looked at the crimson clouds, recalling his past with the Radiant Sword Saint. He recalled how they traveled to the Kunlun Realm with Serene Dust and Heavenly Jade, his happiest time.
They were also once young, arrogant, and talented. But everything started to change when the Radiant Sword Saint bluffed him to practice a divine body-refining technique as he became their meat shield, and he couldn’t remember how many times he received a beating.
The Dragon Origin Great Saint couldn’t help smiling upon thinking about that and raised the gourd to gulp down wine. The past belonged to the three of them, but it somehow became three, with him becoming insignificant. So how did he endure it? He couldn’t remember how he endured it. Was it because of the Serene Dust Great Saint?
He fell in love at first sight with the Serene Dust Great Saint, the young girl who always called him to hurry up and run. Thinking about it, tears rolled down the Dragon Origin Great Saint’s eyes as he gulped down the wine to numb himself.
The Radiant Sword Saint is sinful!
But in the end, he stayed behind because of the Radiant Sword Saint. Whenever he got into trouble, the Radiant Sword Saint would clean up for him, and the Radiant Sword Saint would stand out whenever he was bullied. When they fought with their lives on the line, the Radiant Sword Saint would never abandon him and was never missing.
Protecting the entire Ancient Barren Domain with one sword. The oath the Radiant Sword Saint made when he was young was fulfilled throughout his lifetime.
The Dragon Origin Great Saint didn’t want to admit it, but he had been chasing after the Radiant Sword Saint. He smiled, “Your disciple is the same as you. He’s great, but he’s also my disciple now.”
Tears rolled down the Dragon Origin Great Saint’s eyes, but he became even more determined. He didn’t have much lifespan left, and he only lived thanks to the Divine Blood Fruit from Lin Yun, and he had already seen through death. So, he came here with the mindset to die.
“Jian Wuming, I’m here again. You better buck it and turn the table around like in the past. This Emperor’s Tribulation is nothing!” The Dragon Origin Great Saint continued to gulp down the wine.
