Chapter 1067 - The Approaching Crisis (2/2)

“If you want to survive and live longer, then use this geomancy array to kill those demonic beasts. The more demonic beasts you kill using this array, the higher the chance for you to survive. I will also control a much bigger and powerful array. But once the array under your control is compromised, I’ll take it over from you immediately. I hope that you all won’t let me down, so don’t disappoint all the cultivator allies on the blockade line!”

Having said that, Tang Xiu finally stopped his speech.

Eight cultivators at Golden Core Stage aided by six more at the late-stage of Foundation Establishment. These 14 people were crossing their hands behind their backs, standing firmly with a resolute and determined look, replying aloud, “We’ll never disappoint Sect Master Tang and everyone else!”

Tang Xiu slowly nodded and said with satisfaction, “Your names may be recorded in the annals of history later and perhaps will be remembered in the future. You also may only be remembered by those in the cultivation world and nobody else will know who we are after we leave. However, you will be heroes. This is a fact that no one can change. I, Tang Xiu, am looking forward to fighting alongside you all!”

“Let’s fight side by side!” shouted the 14 people loudly.

These cultivators hailed from some Taoist and Buddhist schools and some were martial artists who had entered the cultivation path. What they had in common was that they had been deeply influenced by Tang Xiu. They not only had deep admiration towards him but also developed similar warrior-like bearing and attitude like Tang Xiu.

Time fleeted by and another two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the military tent, Tang Xiu was sitting cross-legged while silently communicating with the stars in the universe. He constantly absorbed the astral power from the universe that transformed it into his own strength to use. At the same time, he also spent 108 Demon Cores to arrange the Spiritual Energy Gathering Array. After devouring all the demonic force contained within the Demon Cores, the array itself automatically dispersed.

‘The Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis really deserves to be called the best cultivation art ever created by the Demons and Gods with its incredibly fast cultivation speed. It didn’t take long cultivating here, did it? Yet my power has rapidly increased, at least twice stronger. I think I can also kill experts at the late-stage of Nascent Soul now. If… I was to encounter powerful enemies at the Spirit Formation Stage, I might even able to fight them, albeit barely. But still, it’s difficult to say whether I’ll be defeated or not.’

Tang Xiu floated up and set out. Just as he left the tent, he saw Xue Sha and Hei Xiong, who were standing straight and waiting for him outside. There were also a lot of Tang Sect disciples in the surrounding with envious look cast on their faces.

“You guys…”

Just as Tang Xiu spoke, he immediately sensed the aura released by the two men. A satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his handsome face as he nodded and smilingly said, “Very good! You both are great! I didn’t expect you to be the second and third disciples who advanced to the Golden Core Stage. I now announce that you are promoted to Guardian Elders of the Tang Sect. You can go to Mo Awu later to claim your rewards. He will hand them over to you.”

Xue Sha and Hei Xiong exchanged glances. Although they already knew that they would become Tang Sect’s Guardian Elders and also obtain handsome rewards, hearing the direct confirmation from Sect Master Tang Xiu himself made them really excited.

“Sect Master.” Mo Awu floated from afar and respectfully greeted as he came to Tang Xiu’s front.

“Give them their rewards and celebrate their advancement into the Golden Core Stage. Furthermore, they will be the elders of Tang Sect later. Four of you are the first to break through, so you all are now the Elders and will need to discuss more issues in the future.”

“Understood!”

Mo Awu smiled and nodded to Xue Sha and Hei Xiong. Then, his eyes went back to Tang Xiu again, saying, “Sovereign, I just received news that Chi Nan and Kuwako Yamamoto have also broken through to the Golden Core Stage.”

Tang Xiu stared dully. He wasn’t surprised by the news that Chi Nan had broken through to the Golden Core Stage, but how come Kuwako’s cultivation speed was so fast?

Originally, he accepted her as his subordinate in order to carry out his plan in Japan, which was to take some forces there under his control in the future. It was all to plunder some resources he needed from Japan, but now it seemed that he must no longer treat her as an outsider. With such a cultivation speed, as long as she worked harder later, she could also become his right arm.

“Awu, contact Chi Nan, Kuwako, Guang, and An. Tell them to head over here at once. It’s very likely the following days will become our final showdown here. Our odds of survival will increase if all of them come, and we can also reduce the casualties of our other disciples.”

“What about Jin Shi? Would you like him to come back too?” asked Mo Awu hurriedly.

“Has Jin Shi advanced to the Golden Core Stage yet?” asked Tang Xiu.

“I haven’t heard any news about that yet.” Mo Awu shook his head.

Tang Xiu sighed inwardly. He recalled that Jin Shi had long been following him. He also occasionally gave him private tutoring and even rewarded him with many cultivation resources. Jin Shi should’ve been listed as the first six who broke through to the Golden Core Stage. It was rather unexpected that he eventually let him down.

“Don’t inform him first. He’s carrying out a mission now.”

Mo Awu nodded wordlessly. Then, he said, “Then, I’ll convey your message to the rest immediately.”
