Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 681 - 640: Turnaround

"Do not pursue a desperate enemy!"

The Divine Thought of Immortal Lingyu echoed in the ears of the numerous True Immortals.

At this time, it seemed that the True Immortals of the Immortal Country had finally come to their senses from the chaotic battle in which they had been completely suppressed.

Soon after, uncontrollable cries of astonishment came from those Void Immortals and Saints.

"The people from Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect have retreated!?"

"We won, we have triumphed!"

Even some True Immortals let out a long sigh of relief.

Early on, when the Immortal Country made its move against Immortal Sui Mu and the others, Zhao Xi had already revealed to all the True Immortals the truth about the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect.

It included the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect’s years of assisting them in nurturing the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao as part of a conspiracy.

During this process, they had come to realize deeply that the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect was far from weak.

They were even stronger than the Immortal Country.

If it weren’t for the fact that Grotto Heaven could not be moved through the other end of the space channel, the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect could have leveled the Immortal Country with their own strength.

Now, the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, in order to establish a base in the Immortal Country, had dispatched a Daoist Master, a Heavenly Immortal, and a large number of True Immortals and Void Immortals, breaking the Immortal Country’s defenses and initiating the backup plan hidden within the Immortal Country.

Although it was unknown by what means Immortal Master Zhao Xi had secured victory, but...

They had finally driven back the enemy.

After breathing a sigh of relief, the expressions of the True Immortals at the scene became serious once again.

"Taibai always seemed kind and compassionate, but who knew he’d been plotting against our Immortal Country for years, and now he’s leading the forces of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect to attack us. Truly, the face may hide what the heart does know!"

"The Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect might have been defeated by us, but judging by their unwilling gaze as they left, it’s unlikely they will let the matter rest so easily."

"It’s just that we fear the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect may control other space channels, secretly infiltrate our Longevity World to build another Grotto Heaven, and once they stabilize their footing in our Longevity World and construct the Grotto Heaven, if they dispatch another Daoist Master, we will be in a difficult situation."

"If they really do that... our Immortal Country might end up facing a formidable enemy on par with the Devil of the Demon Realm."

Clearly, as Taibai Heavenly Immortal had said, this was only the first round.

They had only repelled the first wave of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect’s assault.

Just like the victory that was about to be achieved in the Blood Moat Demon Abyss, even if they truly drove all the Devils out of the Blood Moat Demon Abyss, it didn’t mean they had conquered the Demon Realm; at best, they’d only disrupted one of the Demon Realm’s battlefronts.

The Demons from the Demon Realm could completely regroup and return through other channels of the Demon Realm.

"The situation may not be as bad. After defeating the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, the Immortal Master will be able to nurture the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao with all his might. With the power of Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao suppressing them, the Devils of the Demon Realm will be weakened significantly; Demon Spirits will be the same, with even the Spirit Venerable being suppressed to the point where a Heavenly Monarch can slay them. Perhaps, before the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect can regroup and return, we’ll have conquered the Devils. By then, the only enemy we’ll have to face will be the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect."

The voice of Immortal Lingyu resounded in everyone’s minds, "With the foundation of our Longevity World, as long as we can keep the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect out of the Longevity World, with the passage of time, after a few decades, a hundred years, once the Longevity World gives birth to ten or eight Daoist Masters, it will no longer be the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect invading our Longevity World, but our Longevity World charging into the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect."

After speaking, she firmly added, "Time is on our side."

Hearing her words, everyone barely regained their composure and reignited their fighting spirit.

"Indeed, we have already mastered a more exquisite method of integrating the Dao Fruit into the ascension to Heavenly Immortals, and we have learned how to nurture Heavenly Dao. With the environment of our Longevity World, giving birth to ten or eight Daoist Masters in a few decades or a hundred years is not an extravagant hope."

"The world where the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect resides is ultimately barren and declining. Now that we have absorbed the essence of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect’s Cultivation System, coupled with the advantages of the Longevity World itself, a situation like today’s will never occur again."

"We are not lacking in Cultivation Techniques, Spirit Mechanisms, or manpower; if we continue like this, we are sure to achieve the ultimate victory."

"Whoosh!"

Lightning flashed.

A figure appeared in everyone’s field of vision.

However, when the True Immortals clearly sensed the aura of the figure, they surprisingly found that this cultivator, who carried a pressure not inferior to the level of a Daoist Master, was not their invincible founder of the Immortal Country, Zhao Xi, but...

"Ancient True Immortal!?"

Immortal Lingyu was taken aback.

Not just her—the other True Immortals also looked at the towering figure, over six hundred meters tall, shrouded in lightning and breaking through the sky, filled with shock in their eyes. freeweɓnøvel.com

"Ancient True Immortal!? It’s really him!?"

"Wasn’t it said he’s at most a Top True Immortal, and at most being generous, a Peak True Immortal, a Strongest True Immortal in terms of combat prowess? This kind of presence... you’re telling me this is a True Immortal!?"

"No wonder Immortal Master Zhao Xi, no, Immortal Master Gu, fully supported everything he did... Even when he purged many... cultivators with double hearts from the Immortal Country’s Grotto Heavens and executed a large number... he still stood firmly by his side, suppressing all public opinion..."

The True Immortals whispered among themselves, watching Gu Jinlai with awe and curiosity in their eyes on top of the shock.

Compared to them, Immortal Lingyu clearly knew much more.

For example, she was very aware that the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect had hidden a dark hand within the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao nurtured by Immortal Master Zhao Xi.

However, by the time they realized this, the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao had already developed to a certain scale, and if they revealed it rashly, it would instead lead the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect to attack prematurely.
