Demon Sword Sect’s Undercover
Chapter 631 - 631 630 Unspoken Conclusion

631: Chapter 630: Unspoken Conclusion 631: Chapter 630: Unspoken Conclusion “It’s already too late!”

Master An’s response left An Jinlan feeling utterly devastated.

“This isn’t your fault.

There’s something peculiar about his Golden Jade Book; even I was caught off guard….

Let’s wrap this up, and use an issue within the Pocket World as a reason, trying to minimize the impact of human intervention.”

An Jinlan was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected the situation to evolve this way.

“Master, has it become so serious that if we personally intervene in the Pocket World, maybe….”

Master An was adamant, “There is no maybe!

It’s not entirely caused by that sword cultivator, but rather the inherent rules of the Pocket World.

When the Heaven and Earth Chains are unlocked, all Pocket Worlds in the Jinxiu Continent will be reset, which means destruction followed by rebirth—a necessity.

However, the carvings of the sword cultivator sped up this process.

I still haven’t fully understood what his carvings actually express, but there must be something that touches on the core…

Such outcomes should not be publicized, and you are the last to know.”

“Then how should we judge the results of this assessment?”

“Is a result necessary?

It was just to give them a chance to show themselves; announcing results now might unsettle the lower disciples.

After all, the position of a true disciple comes from the upper echelons, not something they can decide on their own.”

After dismissing An Jinlan, Master An’s consciousness wandered back into the Pocket World, where another consciousness was floating in the air, closely monitoring the changes within the world.

Master An chuckled bitterly, “Old friend, look at the person you’ve found.

A single Golden Jade Book has destroyed a whole little world; luckily, he is not a disciple of the Anhe Daoist Sect, otherwise I fear Anhe couldn’t contain such a vicious dragon.”

Master Xiao was indifferent, “What’s wrong with him?

In chaotic times, a hero arises, and from the opening of the heavens, disaster is born.

If not this one, then another; can we really stop the changes of heaven and earth?

Since such a person is bound to appear, it’s better to keep him close rather than ignore him, at least we can be involved and influence a few things, not merely spectators to the transformations of heaven and earth.”

Master An neither approved nor opposed, understanding his old friend’s reasoning.

As the pace of world changes on the Jinxiu Continent approached, someone who would disrupt the balance of heaven and earth was bound to appear, no doubt about it.

Such a person would not be an old ancestor who had achieved Nascent Transformation, nor an Upper Cultivator who had formed their core; it would only be someone like the Tongtian Realm cultivators going with the flow of time, perhaps this batch or the next, it wouldn’t be far.

“An era makes a hero,” they say; these people just happen to coincide with the transformative juncture of the Jinxiu Continent, playing a pivotal role in their era.

Who will ultimately break through the Heaven and Earth Chains, no one knows; there are many outstanding disciples with potential and visions abundant across the continent, and this sword cultivator is just one of them, albeit a very unreliable one, teeming with destructive power, more like a villain.

However, the issue is that Anhe Daoist Sect lacks such an outstanding disciple without signs of emergence, so they place their hope on digging out exceptional talents from other Daoist lineages, which frankly means they are hoping to benefit from others’ oversight.

This sword cultivator has great potential for causing major trouble, but at the very least, he won’t remain obscure.”

“What can you make of his Golden Jade Book, brother?”

Master Xiao was also distressed, “The concept is not bad; he intends to manipulate the little world to be reborn from ashes, to destroy and then establish, which I am certain of; his understanding of the Five Elements Conversion is profound, especially in the Earth and Water Elements, far surpassing the normal standards of their realm.

This person’s combat prowess is astonishing, not without reason, as his foundation is solid.

But the problem is also prominent, his skill in carving is merely at a beginner’s level, crude and full of flaws, yet why did such crude carvings trigger an irreversible collapse of the Pocket World, I still haven’t figured it out.”

“Is there a source for some of the carvings I’ve never seen, or are they simply his own fabrications?”

“I’m afraid they are indeed his own imaginative fabrications!

With our combined understanding of carvings spanning over a thousand years, I don’t believe there are any carvings we don’t know of; many parts clearly show that it’s just an illiterate mischief-maker trying to fool his tutor with ghostly drawn talismans….”

“Yet, such ghostly drawn talismans can trigger a collapse of a Pocket World?”

The two masters here were utterly baffled.

Of course, they did not know that amidst numerous self-created signs in Hou Niao’s carvings, there lay a symbol of an Ancient Thunder Talisman, seemingly inconspicuous, as if scribbled in passing….

After a long silence, Master An was still somewhat worried, “This person might bring great trouble to the Anhe Daoist Sect, brother; are you sure you won’t reconsider?”

Master Xiao scoffed, “Does Anhe Daoist Sect lack troubles now?

What we need is not stability, but change; only by striving for survival amidst change, not by slowly being annexed by Wu Sect while waiting.

The current situation of the continent has not yet escalated to conflicts at the level of masters; we still have a chance to do something.

When the time comes for chaos, do you think two mere Nascent Transformation cultivators like us could really make a difference?

We need to strategize early.

At least, we must stir the waters so that Anhe Daoist Sect could have a chance to rise again.”

“Shall we see how it goes?

It’s not appropriate to announce a decision now, regardless of the choice.

The position of a true disciple of Anhe Daoist Sect is destined to wait until the end; otherwise, it might provoke internal unrest….”

“That sounds good, let’s leave it at that.”

Although the two masters hadn’t made a decision, the decision had actually been made, just that it wasn’t the right time to announce it.

A North An Grand Master, the only impressive figure that side could boast of, was Master An’s choice; a sword cultivator, that was Master Xiao stirring the waters.

Only by supporting each other could they achieve their goals, not by undermining each other; the purpose of this An family meeting was actually to give the two masters a close-up opportunity to observe the candidates, which, although far from perfect, met the preliminary expectations, and they had accepted each other’s choices.

In this Cultivation World, decisions could only ultimately be made by such Nascent Transformation old masters; Realm as king, might as supreme, that is the reality of a cultivator.”

Anhe Daoist Sect has five Nascent Transformation old masters in total, and none would relinquish their rights.

The future struggle for true inheritance might still face twists and turns, but the overall direction had been set.

Just as the two masters had their own favored candidates, the three masters from South An had their choices as well; none could dictate the others, which was the way of mutual coexistence among Nascent Transformation old masters.

This assessment had its smooth moments and its surprises.

The result, shrouded in layers of mist, was not something the ordinary disciples could speculate on.
