Chapter 2480 - 815: Nascent Soul! Nascent Soul! Nascent Soul!
Chapter 2480: Chapter 815: Nascent Soul! Nascent Soul! Nascent Soul!
Half a year passed, but this ominous energy not only did not dissipate in the slightest but continued to rise, becoming increasingly evident.
Even some Third Rank Divination Masters could sense it.
"Could it be that Liang Country has a new Nascent Soul True Lord breakthrough? But even if there were such a breakthrough, it wouldn’t reach this extent."
Xuanjian True Monarch thought in his heart, knowing that Liang Country certainly mastered some terrifying means, to cause such ominous energy to appear in Yue Country amidst the war between the two countries.
But whether it was a new Nascent Soul True Lord, nurturing a new Fourth Rank Beast God, or inviting a Nascent Soul True Lord, none could reach such a level.
As for both a Nascent Soul True Lord breakthrough and the nurturing of a Fourth Rank Beast God, Asura Evil God, Xuanjian True Monarch thought the probability was low.
The war had lasted so long, the national power would only deteriorate with prolonged fighting; if Liang Country had such underlying means, why wait till now?
It could have defeated Yue Country directly in the previous waves of war.
But no matter what, these signs made him feel uneasy.
He knew that once Yue Country suffered a great defeat, his Jiang Country, and the Heavenly Sword Sect would directly face Liang Country and Yuan Country.
Not only Liang Country and Yuan Country, if not for the internal chaos in Jin Kingdom, and the Five Poisons Cult and Heavenly Corpse Sect unwilling to unite with Yiming Ghost Sect against Jiang Country, just the alliance of Beast God Mountain and Ming Sha True Monarch would give Jiang Country a big headache, unable to support Yue Country.
If Yue Country were defeated, even without the Five Poisons Cult and Heavenly Corpse Sect, the Yiming Ghost Sect would conspire, wanting to take a share from Jiang Country!
"Huff!"
After a long while, Xuanjian True Monarch exhaled a breath of turbid energy, unable to see any clue from this ominous energy.
Knowing that unless he disregarded the costs, consuming a large amount of life span and primordial energy to forcefully break through the Heavenly Mechanism Mists, he would learn the rough idea destined by the heavens.
But given the current situation, if he consumed too much primordial energy, it would lead to greater danger.
After pondering for a long time, Xuanjian True Monarch changed tactics, trying to deduce how he could break through the predicament to protect his Heavenly Sword Sect as much as possible.
After all, the causal factors involved in this war were too great for a solitary diviner like him to bear.
Instead, he placed himself as the medium, calculating the future destiny of the Heavenly Sword Sect to analyze the situation.
Several divination life tools appeared in his hand, swirling around him, forming a power of heavenly mechanism.
As his face turned pale, consuming essence blood and primordial qi, losing life span, he seemed to glimpse in the river of fate a great army approaching the Heavenly Sword Sect.
However, this was just a wave in the river of fate.
The mysterious river of fate surged with countless waves, representing countless future possibilities and divergent paths.
He wanted to glimpse more possibilities in the river of fate and gain more information.
But the cost was too great; even though he was a Nascent Soul True Lord and a Divination Grandmaster, he could not see too much, only trying to find related information through the invisible net connected to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Huff!"
After a long time, Xuanjian True Monarch opened his eyes, his face ashen, several strands of hair falling from his temples, acquiring some grayness.
Over the years, affected by the war, his Heaven’s Mechanism Technique had been used frequently, consuming his mental energy, and now with further loss of life span to peer into the river of fate, the drain was considerable.
However, fortunately, he had just gained something.
"Tribulation, Sword..."
This is what Xuanjian True Monarch glimpsed from the river of fate — two threads, the tribulation indicating a great tribulation for Heavenly Sword Sect in the future.
As for whether this great tribulation was directly related to Liang Country, he was unsure.
But based on the current analysis, it’s very likely that Yue Country’s great defeat would bring the crisis to Jiang Country, Heavenly Sword Sect.
As for the sword, it was another path glimpsed in the river of fate, not leading to ruin but solving the crisis.
But what this sword meant, Xuanjian True Monarch was unclear, nor could he afford to expend further to deduce.
After all, divination cannot account for everything, nor is it possible to calculate everything!
"Does this sword refer to my Heavenly Sword Sect, or a certain sword artifact, or a person?"
Xuanjian True Monarch pondered, wanting to know how the sword could break the predicament.
He dismissed the first possibility right away, knowing that if a great tribulation did arrive as per the deduction, his Heavenly Sword Sect simply wouldn’t withstand it.
As for a sword artifact, he thought it might be worth some time investigating.
As a Sword Dao Force, Heavenly Sword Sect had been collecting lost flying swords for thousands of years.
Some of these flying swords were broken, some dust-covered, but some contained their owner’s Sword Intent, or even the owner’s inherited information.
A century ago, Heavenly Sword Sect had discovered a cave mansion relic from a self-concealing flying sword, gaining great wealth.
If they could find such a flying sword, breaking through the predicament wasn’t impossible.
As for a person...another Nascent Soul True Lord emerging from Heavenly Sword Sect?
As the overlord of Jiang Country, Heavenly Sword Sect’s strength far surpasses the Qingyun Sect, Spirit Taming Sect, Luoxia Sect, housing many Core Formation Great Masters capable of impacting Nascent Soul.
Yet these Great Masters are top-level combatants everywhere, and if they fail impacting Nascent Soul, it would be a great loss.
But in a crisis situation, lowering the requirements, producing another Nascent Soul True Lord isn’t a problem.
However, a single Nascent Soul isn’t enough to influence such a war in the Cultivation World.
"Others..."
Xuanjian True Monarch suddenly paused, recalling a message Absolute Sword True Monarch sent years ago.
It said Caiyun True Monarch of Qingyun Sect not only broke through to Nascent Soul but was also pregnant, with a sharp Sword Intent within!
According to the letter, Caiyun True Monarch met a Nascent Soul True Lord named Qilin Sword Lord, whose assistance helped her break through to Nascent Soul.
And the unborn child in her womb was the child of this Qilin Sword Lord.
The sharp Sword Intent was the Companion Spirit Treasure given to Yun Wanshang’s unborn child by Qilin Sword Lord!
Being able to gift a Companion Spirit Treasure to an unborn child signifies that this Qilin Sword Lord is far from an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator.
