Chapter 1292: Chapter 1260: Wanji True Venerable

A colossal robot stood between heaven and earth, its vast aura spreading outward.

This is the second Refining-Void cultivator of the Xianmen Sect!

“Congratulations, Wanji True Venerable!”

“Congratulations to Senior Wanji on advancing to Refining-Void!”

The billion-strong fleet of the Xianmen Sect cheered, sending greetings through various electromagnetic and optical signals. The hazy military formation runes of the starry sky extended to Wanji True Venerable, shielding him while also receiving the immense amplification he brought.

In that instant, all Xianmen Sect citizens felt their cognitive speed, divine soul computational power, and reaction time surge to varying degrees.

Wanji True Venerable’s Light Path Rules centered around the transmission and existence of information!

The title “True Venerable” is an honorific for Refining-Void cultivators.

Similar to terms like Immortal of Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation Heavenly Monarch, this designation is more universal and is used even in the Perishing Immortal Realm and other Great Thousand Worlds.

Master of Refining Nothingness, however, is part of a unique cultural tradition developed within the Nine Spirits Realm.

This is because the Nine Spirits Realm has long been home to nine exceptionally powerful Refining-Void cultivators. The cultivators of the Nine Spirits Realm have mythologized this realm, honoring it with the title “Great Expert,” steeped in regional peculiarities, much like the Horned Demon Imperial Clan’s use of the term “Ancient Emperor.” It is not a general standard.

Under Wanji True Venerable’s influence, the breath of the entire Xianmen Sect fleet visibly strengthened, along with its overall power.

“Should we…”

Many of the Heavenly Monarchs of the Xianmen Sect began to nurture thoughts of murderous intent in their hearts.

The hope of unifying the two domains seemed almost within reach, stirring fervent excitement. Even if half the Xianmen Sect’s fleet were to fall, it seemed a price worth paying.

“No.”

“Here and now, the opportunity has already passed.”

Far, aware of their thoughts, sighed and said, “In the Medium Thousand World, if those eight people abandon their path, they already possess the capability to break through to Harmonization!”

“The reason they haven’t broken through yet is that they want everything to be flawless, striving for perfection before they attempt Harmonization. They are exceedingly patient and unwilling to leave even a single flaw behind.”

“Because failure means death.”

“If we push them into desperation, if life and death force them to trigger the Harmonization Thunder Tribulation, then what would happen to us?”

“The opportunity to annihilate them completely no longer exists.”

“…Indeed.”

The Heavenly Monarchs of the Xianmen Sect fell into contemplation, then nodded and sighed helplessly.

“Wanji,”

Far suggested, “How about you and Divine Machine alternate duties in the future? His most important task now is advancing to Refining-Void; he can set other matters aside temporarily.”

“We must hasten the development of Harmonization formations and Unity Dao techniques. Otherwise, once Harmonization cultivators emerge from the Immortal Sects, we will be in danger.”

“Thus, the divine soul computational power of the Refining-Void Stage is critical.”

“Going forward, Divine Machine, Canghai, Taoqing, and all eligible Xianmen cultivators who can exchange for Refining-Void opportunities should swiftly overcome the Refining Void Tribulation, then join me in collectively dedicating ourselves to various breakthroughs in Xian Dao technology for the Xianmen Sect—to ensure that even after the emergence of Harmonization cultivators from the Immortal Sects, the Xianmen Sect retains the right to survive.”

During this period of positional warfare, the research elites of the Xianmen Sect finally had some downtime.

While Great Experts of the Immortal Sects can cultivate in peace on seventh-rank spiritual veins, seeking breakthroughs into Harmonization, the elites of the Xianmen Sect certainly wouldn’t sit idly by. A rigorous wave of Xian Dao innovation and development was about to begin, spearheaded by multiple Refining-Void cultivators of the Xianmen Sect—ensuring a much higher efficiency than before.

No need to worry about computational power being partially occupied, thereby causing danger.

The numerous grand formations installed on the seventh-rank spiritual veins are no mere decorations; they possess potent defensive and offensive capabilities, capable of providing reaction time even if attacked by eight Great Experts simultaneously—not something that could be broken in an instant.

Conversely, if the Xianmen Sect attempted a surprise attack, the situation would be similar.

This is precisely why the eight Great Experts of the Immortal Sect can cultivate with peace of mind—they each have independent sects with deep reserves and powerful grand formations, unafraid of surprise attacks from the Eastern Devil School or other Immortal Sect Great Experts, at least affording time to react and escape.

“Alright.”

“That will do, naturally.”

Wanji True Venerable gradually stabilized the somewhat turbulent aura that arose after his Refining-Void breakthrough, saying, “May I deal with the unrest in the Horned Ming Realm along the way? Seventy to eighty years will suffice; then Little Jiang wouldn’t have to make the arduous trip himself.”

“Always letting the young lad fight feels rather bad for him.”

“No, absolutely not.”

“You have your own tasks. On the front lines, Harmonization cultivators from the Immortal Sects could appear at any time. Our pressure is immense; this is a matter of life and death. We cannot afford delays.”

Far waved his hand, half amused and half exasperated, saying, “Besides, do you think you could defeat him?”

“You may be a weakling among those of the same stage—without an extensive Xianmen fleet and a planet-level warship, you’re naturally prone to being killed across realms by Domain Prides. Don’t overestimate yourself; you might lose face.”

“Ha? Killed across realms?”

“Are you joking, Far?”

Wanji True Venerable froze.

Confident, he said, “I am Refining-Void! A Refining-Void cultivator who has mastered rules!”

“That brat may indeed be a Sword Dao genius of the domain; that I acknowledge, but if he dares to act recklessly before me, I’d slap him into the Earth’s core three thousand kilometers deep and then thrash him properly to teach him the importance of respecting elders. Old folks aren’t easy to mess with…”

Wanji True Venerable felt the transformed and surging mana and divine soul within himself, brimming with confidence.

“Fine, after the urgent matters are dealt with, you can go find him yourself.”

Far rolled his eyes and tossed him a recent intelligence report sent from the Mother Star.

It depicted a Heavenly Tribulation scene.

A horrifying Blue-Gold Flying Sword swept through the Rule Thunder, slashing and stabbing, piercing through the firmament. Its destructive rule power shattered heaven, earth, cosmic star rivers, and even tore through the Heavenly Dao rules, leaving them unrepairable and powerless.

In the end, the endless thunder tribulation clouds dissipated.

Within that terrifying flying sword, Great Sun’s rules of destruction spread out, suppressing heaven and earth, containing ultimate annihilation—all inherently suited for front-line battle and solo combat.

“…Fine, fine, fine—”

Wanji True Venerable, upon witnessing this, froze for a while, his voice jamming like an overloaded computer.

“Alright, I’ll immediately replace Divine Machine, oversee the defense and research efforts of the Mother Star, ensure its safety, and safeguard our retreat route without flaw.”

Wanji True Venerable decisively declared.

He promptly forgot everything he had just said.

Engaging in a one-on-one duel with the Sword Savage would only be something a fool would attempt.

Xianmen cultivators are scientists, scholars, and elite intellectuals; they cannot engage in such whimsical brawls or dueling affairs that spoil the atmosphere, set a bad example for the younger generation.

“Make use of teleportation to come and go swiftly.”

“Those eight fellow Daoists employing these underhanded tactics aim to weaken our front-line forces, crush our logistics systems, and degrade our long-term combat capacity. We mustn’t fall for their tricks.”

Far consoled him, saying, “Every Xianmen cultivator has their own duty.”

“Trust in our Dari Swordsman; they’ve always been adept at suppressing rebellions throughout history. He’ll quickly restore the Xianmen Sect’s logistical supply.”

“If any issue arises, we can mobilize additional forces to stabilize the situation.”
