Chapter 1802: Chapter 1799: Plan Carefully!

The Sect Leader Supreme and the Grand Elder watched as Lin Bai walked out of the Great Hall, their gazes deep and profound. Both of their expressions were solemn, fully aware that the future life and death of Xuantian Sect might depend on Lin Bai’s next words.

The Sect Leader Supreme and the Grand Elder exchanged a glance, their faces serious, and both sighed gently.

"You all go to cultivate, the Master Apprenticeship Qualification Battle is upon us. Even if Lin Bai does not agree to help us, you must strive to defeat Ding Xianlai."

The Grand Elder looked at Lei Chong, Chen Yi-Ran, Gu Yuan, and Chai Ming as he said this.

At this moment, Chen Yi-Ran stood up indignantly, cupping his fists as he spoke: "Sect Leader, Grand Elder, I do not doubt your intentions, but Lin Bai is merely a warrior of the fifth level of the Yangshen Realm. Even if he agrees, what use is that?"

"Can he break through to the Great Perfection of the Yangshen Realm within a month?"

"It’s just a waste of the Xuantian Spiritual Pool and the Yangshen Pill, such powerful spiritual objects are being squandered," Chen Yi-Ran said coldly.

The white-faced scholar Chai Ming nodded slightly, saying, "Exactly, Sect Leader, the Xuantian Spiritual Pool takes three years to restore its spiritual power once activated; and it needs tens of billions of spiritual stones to buy a single Yangshen Pill!"

"If precious cultivation resources are wasted on this mere fifth-level Yangshen Realm warrior?"

After Lin Bai left, Chai Ming and Chen Yi-Ran wore expressions of doubt on their faces and began to ask questions one after another.

The Grand Elder spoke coldly, "You understand nothing; these issues are not for you to worry about now. In the coming month, your focus should be on preparing for the Master Apprenticeship Qualification Battle!" _{f\ree webn ovel(.)com}

"As for Lin Bai, you need not concern yourselves."

"Have you forgotten, when you were chosen, both the Xuantian Spiritual Pool and the Yangshen Pill were given to you!"

The Grand Elder said calmly.

Gu Yuan, Lei Chong, Chen Yi-Ran, and Chai Ming were stunned for a moment, rendered speechless.

The reason the four of them became one of the Xuantian Top Ten Talents was indeed due to the secret nurturing by the Sect Leader Supreme and the Grand Elder. At the time they were chosen, the Sect Leader and Grand Elder also allowed them to cultivate in the Xuantian Spiritual Pool and gave each of them a Yangshen Pill!

To stop Ding Xianlai, the Sect Leader Supreme and Grand Elder had been preparing for over a decade.

"Dismissed," the Grand Elder said coldly.

Afterward, Gu Yuan and the others left the Great Hall. As they departed, Chen Yi-Ran and Chai Ming still wore expressions of discontent on their faces, seemingly truly looking down on Lin Bai.

The Sect Leader Supreme spoke softly, "They are right; even if we open the Xuantian Spiritual Pool and give the Yangshen Pill to him, can he grow enough within a month to battle Ding Xianlai?"

The Grand Elder shook his head solemnly, "We can only take a gamble, betting on this talent ranked five hundred and fifth on the East Continent Heroes Record, to see what he is truly capable of."

...

Lin Bai left the Great Hall and returned to the East Lake Mountain Range.

Upon returning, Lin Bai first searched for Jian Xuan but found that Jian Xuan was not in his dwelling. At this moment, Lin Bai suddenly recalled, "Sword Xuan Senior Brother mentioned he had arranged to undertake a task with a friend; he must have already set out."

Unable to find Jian Xuan, Lin Bai returned directly to his own residence.

After closing the door tightly, Lin Bai sat cross-legged, contemplating aloud: "The Xuantian Spiritual Pool and Yangshen Pill, they sound like very powerful spiritual objects, and should be able to rapidly boost my cultivation!"

"But to accept these two spiritual objects and agree to the Sect Leader and Grand Elder’s demand to incapacitate Ding Xianlai, and thereby offend Ancestor Ding, a strong one of the Death Reversal Realm, clearly seems inadvisable!"

Although Lin Bai was quite eager for the Xuantian Spiritual Pool and Yangshen Pill, a calm Lin Bai thought it over carefully and felt that to offend such a strong one of the Death Reversal Realm just for these two spiritual objects would not be wise.

Given Lin Bai’s current abilities, even if he went all out, he couldn’t rival a strong one of the Life-and-Death Realm, let alone one of the Death Reversal Realm!

The strongest card Lin Bai currently held was the power of the Giant God. Once unleashed, the power of the Giant God would be sufficient to crush a warrior of the Great Perfection of the Yangshen Realm, but this was already the peak of the Giant God’s power.

To use the power of the Giant God to contend against a strong one of the Life-and-Death Realm or even the Death Reversal Realm would be unrealistic!

Another card Lin Bai had was the "Slaying Immortal" sword, but its power was closely tied to Lin Bai’s cultivation. Despite its immense strength, Lin Bai would find it difficult to kill a strong one of the Death Reversal Realm with just one strike!

And then there were the flying swords, but the power of the flying swords had their limitations and couldn’t defeat strong ones of the Life-and-Death and Death Reversal Realms.

"This matter requires careful consideration..." Lin Bai wasn’t in a hurry to agree to the Sect Leader Supreme and the Grand Elder so quickly, especially since dealing with a strong one of the Death Reversal Realm was no small matter.

Lin Bai sat cross-legged in his room, pondering deeply.

If he didn’t agree with the Sect Leader Supreme and the Grand Elder, then Lin Bai would have no problems, but if he did agree, then Lin Bai would have to consider the presence of that strong one of the Death Reversal Realm.

...

In another luxurious palace complex within the Xuantian Sect mountain range, a young man stealthily concealed his presence as he entered the area, making his way into a palace.

This young man entered the palace and immediately bowed, respectfully calling out, "Greetings, Senior Brother Ding Xianlai."

"Chen Yi-Ran, what brings you here suddenly?" Ding Xianlai had just detoxified Dingwu Lai and was resting in the Great Hall, but upon seeing Chen Yi-Ran’s sudden arrival, he curiously inquired.

This young man was none other than Chen Yi-Ran, one of the Xuantian Top Ten Talents.

Chen Yi-Ran cupped his fists and said, "Senior Brother Ding Xianlai, I have important news to tell you."

Ding Xianlai curiously asked, "What news? Is it about the Sect Leader and the Grand Elder?"

Chen Yi-Ran solemnly nodded, "Yes, just now, the Sect Leader and the Grand Elder secretly met with a disciple named Lin Bai, hoping to recruit him to their side to oppose you in the Master Apprenticeship Qualification Battle a month from now."

Upon hearing this, Ding Xianlai couldn’t help but smirk sarcastically, "Hah, the Grand Elder and the Sect Leader Supreme are really grasping at straws. To think they would try to enlist a mere fifth-level Yangshen Realm warrior to stop me, it’s laughable."

Chen Yi-Ran said, "So I came to inform you, Senior Brother Ding Xianlai, would you like me to take action and deal with Lin Bai first?"

Ding Xianlai sneered, "There’s no need; let the Sect Leader and the Grand Elder recruit him. I’m curious to see if they can make Lin Bai grow strong enough to face me within a month!"

Hearing this, Chen Yi-Ran slightly responded with, "Yes."

At this moment, Dingwu Lai angrily said, "Big Brother, you absolutely mustn’t let Lin Bai go!"

Ding Xianlai chuckled, "Rest assured, brother, if he dares come to the Master Apprenticeship Qualification Battle, I’ll ensure he dies without a whole corpse. If he doesn’t come, after the battle is over, I’ll handle him then!"

Dingwu Lai excitedly said, "Good, since you will take care of Lin Bai, Big Brother, he will certainly die without a complete corpse! I’ll take care of another person."

Ding Xianlai laughed, "Jian Xuan?"

Dingwu Lai’s face twisted with malice as he said, "The connection between Jian Xuan and Lin Bai is no ordinary one, they’re like brothers. I’ll kill Jian Xuan first to show Lin Bai a lesson!"

"I heard that Jian Xuan just left the sect to carry out a task in the ’Demon Bone Mountain Range,’ which is a cursed place, where many disciples of the Xuantian Sect die each year. If I kill Jian Xuan in the Demon Bone Mountain Range, the Xuantian Sect can’t do anything to me!"

Ding Xianlai laughed softly, "Since you want to go, then go. I’ll let Ye Xiao and Ye Xun accompany you; with the two of them, killing Jian Xuan will be more than enough!"

Dingwu Lai laughed, "Very well, Big Brother, just wait in the sect for my good news. I will definitely bring Jian Xuan’s head back for you!"
