Chapter: 1269 (1/2)
AST 1269 – Would It Be Possible To Unite the Western Oxhe Continent?
Qing Shui was taken aback. He hadn’t expected that he really made the right guess, that the sect lord was actually a woman who had been hurt by a man before. She even went on to push the blame of the hurt she felt onto men and made it a tradition for the Lotus Sect.
He was only unsure if she had joined the Lotus Sect before or after she had been hurt. Qing Shui smiled and looked at the two old men. “How strong is the Lotus Sect’s sect lord?”
Since the two old men said that it was likely that the sect lord would fight it out with him, he hoped to at least have an estimate of her abilities. This way, he wouldn’t be caught in surprise when the time comes.
“She isn’t the strongest in the Lotus Sect, but is one of the few strongest with a strength of about 6,000 suns or slightly more.” The golden dragon robed old man looked at Qing Shui and said with a smile.
“Oh? If it’s just this bit, then things will be simple.” Qing Shui replied with a smile.
The two old men were in fact very astonished. Qing Shui’s strength was unfathomable, but they knew that he wasn’t boasting. For him to be able to apply Spiritual Confinement on a cultivator with a strength of 2,000 suns. This was sufficient to speak stories.
“The Lotus Sect still has a Saint Lotus Elder Court with one or two old monsters whose strength should be at about 7,000 to 8,000 suns. They would generally not appear unless the Lotus Sect is facing a threat of life and death.” The old man reminded.
Qing Shui didn’t find it strange that the old men knew about these. His guess was that the Lotus Sect knew about the situation in the Heaven Secrets Academy as well.
“Thank you Sirs for telling me these.”
The old man waved his hand. “There’s no need to stand on ceremony with us. We’re one family. We know that in the future, your achievements will go far beyond the Heaven Secrets Academy but we still hope that you can bring the Heaven Secrets Academy to greater heights.”
“Sir, be assured. If it’s really as you said, I can guarantee that the Heaven Secrets Academy’s reputation would be spread very far, even to the extent that all nine continents would know the existence of the Heaven Secrets Academy.” Qing Shui said seriously.
“Alright, Sunu’s aptitude is in no way weaker than Fu Yantian and the others. We won’t say much either. If Sunu is able to take on the huge responsibility, the two of us are willing to back off to join the Supreme Elder Group.” The golden dragon robed old man smiled and said.
“There’s no hurry. No matter whether Sunu will be taking over the Heaven Secrets Academy, I’ll still do my best.”
The two old men were both people with great experience and knew what they should be doing. The Heaven Secrets Academy would only be brought to greater heights if it was in the hands of Yu Sunu. It was because if their judgments weren’t wrong, Qing Shui and Yu Sunu would definitely become husband and wife in the future.
“Sir, I wonder if it would work to unite the entire Western Oxhe Continent?” Qing Shui had been conflicted on this problem. Was it necessary for him to take such actions?
“It’s possible, of course it is. If you wish to make a stand in the other three continents and go up against those people, it’s absolutely necessary to unite the Western Oxhe Continent. It’s even a crucial point.” The golden dragon robed old man thought about it for very long before he said.
After he heard what the old man had to say, Qing Shui fell silent, his thoughts whizzed through his head very fast. If he wished to unite the entire Western Oxhe Continent, he must first unite this half of the Western Oxhe Continent, including the Heaven Secrets Academy, Southern Sea Putuo Mountain, Lotus Sect, Divine Might Dynasty, and the other Grade Four Dynasty.
The Heaven Secrets Academy was simple and could be achieved very quickly. But what about the Southern Sea Putuo Mountain? Tantai Xuan and Yu Ruyan were both there and Tantai Xuan was even the Chief Senior Disciple. What if she was the one to inherit the Putuo Mountain?
The Lotus Sect didn’t seem to be easy to deal with as well. Should he leave Di Chen there? Or should he give a push for Diwu Zhisha? And what about the Divine Might Dynasty? It seemed that he only knew Fu Rong?
Qing Shui thought about it and felt that uniting the Western Oxhe Continent wasn’t as easy as he had thought to be. After all, his strength was still not absolute and even if he was strong enough, what would he do about the Southern Sea Putuo Mountain? Tantai Xuan would probably not agree to his idea.
Qing Shui thought about it for very long and decided to just go on with it and tackle the problems as they come. Things will eventually sort themselves out and there wasn’t a need for him to think too much. With that, Qing Shui calmed down as well.
Right now, the most important thing was the influences in the Heaven Secrets Academy. He must first twist everything here into a single rope and these two old men would definitely help him out.
Neither the old man in the golden dragon robe or the one in the violet lion robe interrupted Qing Shui. They merely looked at him silently. With their years of experience, they could have a rough guess of what he was thinking.
After a while, Qing Shui lifted his head and looked at the two old men. It was only a short while ago did he realize that the two old men actually didn’t have that much lifespan left. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be looking for someone to takeover the Heaven Secrets Academy so early.
The two old men had yet to reach the limits of their lifespans. For cultivators, it wasn’t a case that they could live for as long as they had lifespan. For example, a Xiantian was said to have a lifespan of 500 years, but most people wouldn’t get to live to this age.
Many cultivators would have hidden injuries which they got during the process of their cultivation. Some of these injuries could not be cured completely, and thus many cultivators would not even reach half of their lifespans. This was something very normal.
It was just how it was for these two old men. They had yet to life through half of their lifespans, but it was a pity that there were impurities and hidden injuries in their bodies which had accumulated over many years. These things would explode when they reach a certain phase.
Once it were to explode, there was no way to help them. Of course, if they were to encounter some powerful heavenly and earthly treasures that could clean their bodies’ impurities, when put to good use, those things could allow their lifespan to be slowly extended.
