System's Super Sect Chapter 1067 - 987: Huaikong’s Lesson

The moment the Sword Demon moved to draw his Black Saber, Warming stepped in to block him.

"Enough, get up," Warming commanded.

Warming possessed a profound sense of security, not lacking it in the slightest.

Naturally, he harbored no illusions that everyone would remain eternally devoted, never succumbing to betrayal.

This world was undeniably harsh.

Thus, human nature often proved alarmingly fragile when subjected to trials.

Yet, despite this understanding, Warming never once considered employing a Blood Contract to bind his disciples within the Sect, ensuring their unwavering loyalty.

He placed his trust in every individual within the Sect.

Irrespective of whether they had successfully navigated the Master’s Dao Maze!

Observing the Sword Demon's reluctance to rise, Warming, with growing impatience and a hint of anger, exclaimed, "Why are you dawdling like an old woman? The battle at the Shadow Tower exacted a heavy toll, but they could return at any moment; this Sect Leader expects you to deliver a surprise."

His words cast the Sword Demon into a thoughtful silence.

A veteran of countless battles and immersed in a world driven by self-interest, the Sword Demon keenly understood the immense trust his Sect Leader had bestowed upon him with this command.

"Sect Leader, please rest assured. In a few days, I shall undoubtedly present Kui Qing and the forces of the Shadow Tower with a most significant surprise."

Simultaneously, a silent vow resonated within the Sword Demon's heart.

From this day forward, he would eternally place himself before his Sect Leader.

Even if it meant confronting death itself!

Even if the very Lord of the Shadow Tower were to appear!

"Very well, proceed to break through your realm," Warming stated, his desire to continue the discussion waning as he prepared to return to the Undead Hell after issuing his final directive.

Matters of import awaited!

The Sword Demon promptly secured the Mirror-Breaking Pill and then swiftly rose to his feet.

"Sect Leader, if there is nothing further, I shall take my leave now."

Eagerness to depart surged through the Sword Demon!

During his years on the battlefield, he had lost count of the times he had daydreamed about reaching the Heaven Unrestricted Realm, a distant aspiration that had felt impossibly far.

Now, the long-anticipated opportunity to ascend to the Heaven Unrestricted Realm lay directly before him; how could he possibly contain his elation?

Departing Tingyu Pavilion, the Sword Demon made his way directly back to the dormitory quarters.

He immediately secured the door!

Drawn the curtains tightly shut!

And commenced his attempt to break through his realm!

Meanwhile, Warming, back in Tingyu Pavilion, returned once more to the depths of the Undead Hell.

...

Within the Viewing Room, the disciples of the Immortal Sect were presently engrossed in observing the recent conflict between the Shadow Tower and their own forces.

Each held their breath, eyes glued to the projected images, not daring to divert their attention for even the briefest moment.

As the Shadow Tower's formidable army advanced, a palpable tension began to grip them.

However, a wave of cheering erupted when they witnessed the Shadow Tower's forces being ensnared within the Qu Realm, continuously herded into its confines, celebrating the hard-won victory.

Especially those disciples who had joined the Immortal Sect via the Master’s Dao Maze; hailing originally from Heaven-Gazing Gorge, their ingrained fear of the Shadow Tower surpassed that of disciples like Huai Ye, who were born and raised within Heaven and Earth Lake. Consequently, witnessing the demise of the Shadow Tower's powerhouses filled them with an immense sense of awe.

"A substantial contingent of powerhouses from the Battle Division infiltrated Heaven and Earth Lake, yet who could have foreseen they wouldn't even manage to escape the Qu Realm passage? They were too terrified to even enter it. They broke in once, and now they are the ones who dare not step foot inside."

"The Sect Leader's Flying Ship obstructed their retreat, coupled with our Immortal Sect's Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted Demon God Elder; they would have to be utterly mad to attempt re-entry into the Qu Realm passage."

Excited discussions filled the room.

Subsequently, when they saw Warming and the Sword Demon penetrating the Shadow Tower's territory, a collective shock rippled through them.

For this was the very domain of their sworn enemy!

Even the You Country's army had hesitated to venture deep within its borders!

Wasn't the Sect Leader exhibiting an almost reckless level of boldness?

Nevertheless, their anxiety persisted until they witnessed the Sword Demon's unrestrained rampage, at which point their excitement surged anew.

The blood within them boiled with fervor!

The sheer might wielded by the Sword Demon elder was astounding.

This, they realized, was the origin of the injuries he sustained.

"The Sword Demon elder confronted over twenty Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses, and his injuries are this minimal?"

"Initially, I believed the Sword Demon elder's wounds were quite severe; the gash on his back exposed bone. Observing this scene now, it strikes me that the Sword Demon elder's injuries appear almost… too minor."

"Indeed, facing such a formidable number of Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted combatants, how did he sustain merely such slight damage?"

Amidst the collective bewilderment of the onlookers, the unfolding scene continued to captivate their attention.The arrival of the legendary War God of the Shadow Tower, a figure previously confined to myths, plunged the observers into renewed tension as the tide of battle seemed poised to shift. Yet, the subsequent appearance of the Wood Dragon and his allies dramatically altered the conflict's trajectory, with the fabled War God of the Shadow Tower finding himself on the defensive, igniting a fresh wave of excitement among the onlookers. Thus, their emotional states swung wildly, oscillating between intense suspense and feverish anticipation. This vicarious experience was akin to their very own participation in the perilous combat. However, the advent of the Celestial Unrestricted powerhouse silenced the crowd instantly. The reason for their stunned silence was utter astonishment! This colossal battle had drawn forth the legendary Celestial Unrestricted powerhouse! Their appearance cast a palpable aura of pressure over everyone, a feeling that intensified dramatically when a single, devastating strike from the Celestial Unrestricted powerhouse obliterated the Ice Dragon King of Rime Winter and his companions, sobering the mood with expressions of profound gravity. Even the sight of the Ice Dragon King of Rime Winter and the others surviving, subsequently striking down the War God of the Battle Division before the Shadow Tower's Celestial Unrestricted powerhouse, failed to evoke significant elation. The chilling weight of the words "Celestial Unrestricted" bore down on them. Then there were those five prominent Meridian Gates, starkly visible. These factors combined to create an atmosphere thick with dread, making it difficult for anyone to draw a comfortable breath. An overwhelming sense of pressure descended upon the entire assembly! As the dramatic scene concluded, Huaikong, who had specifically journeyed back to the Sect from Heaven and Earth Lake, was the first to rise. He then cast his gaze across everyone gathered in the Viewing Room. His gaze encompassed the numerous Elders present as well. "My fellow disciples, the adversaries facing our Immortal Sect possess formidable strength. Though your current cultivation might seem insignificant before them, do not despair or worry excessively. Should the heavens fall, your Sect Leader and we, the Elders, shall be the ones to bear its weight. Your sole responsibility is to cultivate diligently! Our Sect Leader has established a peerless cultivation environment for you all, and we fervently hope that one day, you too will rise to safeguard the future of the Immortal Sect, just as we are shielding you now!" Having delivered his address, Huaikong stood and departed from the Viewing Room. He had witnessed all that was necessary and conveyed all that needed to be said; lingering further served no purpose. His sole aspiration was that his words today would plant a vital seed within the heart of each disciple of the Immortal Sect. A seed yearning for perpetual growth and strength. A seed driven by the desire to protect the Immortal Sect. For these disciples represented the very future of the Immortal Sect. As Huaikong exited the Viewing Room, a multitude of Immortal Sect disciples arose, a resolute determination kindled in their eyes. "Elder Huaikong, please be assured, the future prosperity of the Immortal Sect will be vigilantly guarded by us!" "Sect Leader and all Elders, have confidence, the future sanctuary of the Immortal Sect shall be defended by our hands!" Heeding the earnest declarations echoing from behind, Huaikong did not look back, yet a subtle smile graced his lips. He knew. The seed had been successfully sown! Now, it merely awaited the passage of time to germinate. Eventually, they would mature into majestic, towering trees. At this precise moment, Huaikong sensed a vibration emanating from the Sound Transmission Stone he carried. Extracting the Sound Transmission Stone, he heard the voice of Long Ke emerging from it. "Elder Huaikong, the preparation of the Immortal Dailies is complete and they are ready for distribution at a moment's notice. We shall require the assistance of your Wing Race army for the next phase!"
