Chapter 348: 162: Negotiating Terms with the Tribulation Crossing Ancestor
The disciple looked at Lu Yi with admiration in his expression and smiled, “Yes, Brother Lu, it’s someone from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land. The Sect Leader asked you to come over as well.”
“Heavenly Dragon Holy Land?” Lu Yi’s eyes lit up. Could it be that the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son had arrived?
In recent times, his Body Refining resources had not been very good, lacking some True Dragon Essence Blood. If it really was someone from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land, that would indeed be good news.
Lu Yi smiled and said, “Then lead the way.”
“Yes!” The disciple led Lu Yi to the main hall of White Cloud Peak.
In the main hall, Master Wu Qingfeng, Elder Ming, and a group of Supreme Elders were entertaining a group of cultivators. These cultivators had strong auras, and their vitality was like the sea, clearly very powerful Body Cultivators.
Lu Yi swept his gaze over them and saw the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son, whom he had been missing.@@novelbin@@
However, he noticed that the atmosphere in the main hall was somewhat solemn.
Lu Yi raised an eyebrow and walked into the main hall.
Upon seeing Lu Yi enter, Master Wu Qingfeng and the Supreme Elders all brightened up, “Nephew Lu has arrived.”
The cultivators from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land naturally noticed Lu Yi entering and all looked over. The Heavenly Dragon Saint Son had a sharp glint in his eyes, staring intently at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi greeted them with a smile, “Sect Leader, esteemed Elders, and seniors and fellow cultivators from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land.”
The leader of the group from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land was a tall, blond man with an extremely powerful and terrifying aura, like an abyss, clearly a Tribulation Crossing cultivator.
Apart from him, there were two Mahayana Realm cultivators, several young cultivators of the Cave Void Realm, and one Heavenly Dragon Saint Son.
It goes without saying for the Great Mahayana Powers, the Cave Void Cultivators were all very young at their core, likely the pride of the previous generation of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land. Adding the current generation’s Heavenly Dragon Saint Son, one could say the lineup was incredibly strong.
This made Lu Yi somewhat startled. With such a luxurious assembly, what had brought them to the White Cloud Sect?
As Lu Yi was wondering, the leading Tribulation Crossing Ancestor nodded towards him, his expression dignified as he praised, “Spiritual energy like the sea, breath profound, indeed quite exceptional.”
Lu Yi responded with a bowed hand, “Senior flatters me.”
The Tribulation Crossing Ancestor laughed, “I had heard before that your physical body is also very strong. Now, seeing you, your vitality is like beacon smoke; I’m afraid it might even be stronger than Ao Tian.”
Ao Tian…
Lu Yi glanced at the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son, who had a somewhat stiff expression and was clearly not pleased, and smiled, “Senior is too complimentary. The Heavenly Dragon Saint Son is a prodigy in Body Cultivation, with extremely powerful physical strength.”
“Hahaha, such humility in a young man hardly suits a Body Cultivator; you sound more like a refined Array Repairer.” The Tribulation Crossing Ancestor tapped Lu Yi with a chuckle.
At this moment, Master Wu Qingfeng signaled to Lu Yi with his hand and said, “Nephew Lu, come here. Today, the fellow cultivators from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land are here regarding the battle with the Sea Clan.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi was taken aback, somewhat astonished, “Regarding the battle with the Sea Clan?”
The leading Tribulation Crossing Ancestor explained, “Now, the Sea Clan’s strength is formidable. Among the Sea Clan Cultivators attacking the mainland, there are far too many strong ones. The Immortal Sect Holy Land of Qingzhou alone cannot withstand them. The Eastern Domain Sects need to join forces. We have come to White Cloud Sect today to invite your cultivators to join the battle.”
These words made Master Wu Qingfeng and the others show signs of worry.
The Sect Leader looked at the Heavenly Dragon Ancestor, considered for a moment, and then asked, “Senior, our White Cloud Sect is of modest strength; must we also participate in the battle?”
The Tribulation Crossing Ancestor glanced at Wu Qingfeng and spoke calmly, “The Eastern Domain does not belong to the Immortal Sect Holy Land alone; it belongs to all cultivators. Since White Cloud Sect is one of the Eastern Domain Sects, naturally it should also join the battle!”
He added slowly, “Not just your White Cloud Sect, we have sent people to invite all sects to participate. Your sect… is a special case, which is why I personally came here.”
Saying this, the Tribulation Crossing Ancestor looked over at Lu Yi, obviously because of him.
Hearing these words, the Sect Leader exhaled a breath of relief, understanding that both sentimentally and rationally, they must go to battle; there was no escaping it.
He asked, “May I inquire, senior, how many from our White Cloud Sect are required to join the battle?”
The Tribulation Crossing Ancestor spoke slowly, “Your White Cloud Sect already has two Cave Void Cultivators, and is considered a sect of the Cave Void Realm. You are required to dispatch one Cave Void Cultivator, ten Divinity Transformation Cultivators, thirty Nascent Soul Cultivators, and three hundred Golden Core Cultivators to the battle.”
Hearing this, Master Wu Qingfeng and the Supreme Elders changed their expressions slightly, “That many?”
The Heavenly Dragon Ancestor shook his head slowly, stating, “To be honest, this number is not a lot. You have never been to the battlefield and probably haven’t seen the number of the Sea Clan Cultivators. The death toll of our disciples from the various Immortal Sect Holy Lands far exceeds this number. Moreover, the forces that were originally located in the combat zones, but have now fallen back, are required to dispatch three times the numbers you are. Also, by joining the battlefield, you will not be joining in vain; As long as you establish military achievements, our rewards will be very generous.”
Hearing this, the expressions of Master Wu Qingfeng and the others eased slightly.
Master Wu Qingfeng thought of something, glanced at Lu Yi, and quickly asked, “The cultivators going into battle will be chosen by ourselves, correct?”
The Tribulation Crossing Ancestor nodded, “Of course, that’s for your sect to internally decide.”
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“Since senior has personally come, naturally we have no reason to refuse,” Master Wu Qingfeng said with a wry smile.
The Tribulation Crossing Ancestor also nodded calmly; he had, of course, not expected the White Cloud Sect to refuse.
