Chapter 1679 - 1684: Turmoil in the Western Region
"Could it be that the Western Land Spirit Beasts have started attacking the sealing?"Tiannan was equally perplexed.
If this is true, then the world will face great calamity!
"Since Daoist Xia knows something, then on behalf of the Western Regions, I request Daoist Xia's assistance!"
Martial Emperor Ming stood up, clasped his hands tightly, and saluted Xia Liu with the imperial courtesy.
"Martial Emperor Ming, you are too courteous. The target of the Western Land Spirit Beasts is the Human Race. As fellow humans, if you have to request us, wouldn't that make us non-human?"
"Haha! Daoist Xia acts for the country and the people, for the righteousness of the world, I understand!"
Martial Emperor Ming laughed heartily.
With Xia Liu's assurance, the Western Regions will surely be able to resist the Western Land Spirit Beasts!
"Since everyone is present today, Martial Emperor Ming might as well speak about it."
Suggested Xia Liu.
"Alright!"
Martial Emperor Ming organized his thoughts and then said, "Some time ago, there was an urgent situation at the Northern Border Frontier. I led a group to support, and under the siege of several powerful beings, we killed three Beast Vein experts that broke the formation."
"Their abilities were equivalent to the Half-Step Foundation Establishment Late Stage, but their physical strength was very special. To kill these three powerful beings, we lost ten strong individuals."
Speaking of this, Martial Emperor Ming sighed with regret.
If he had gotten there a little earlier, perhaps there would have been no deaths.
"I have a premonition that in at most three months, the Western Land Spirit Beasts will completely shatter the sealing."
"That means we only have three months to prepare."
Muttered Xia Liu.
"Yes! Three months. If we can't strengthen the sealing effect, the Western Regions will be in chaos."
Discussing this matter made Martial Emperor Ming anxious.
Now, with the inclusion of the Dao Primordial, the situation might become better.
However, it still cannot change the outcome.
That sealing formation was set during the end of the Cultivator Era, wanting to enhance its power.
That's probably wishful thinking.
"Since it's like this, we cannot sit idly by. A month later, the Dao Primordial experts will head to the Northern Border Frontier."
Xia Liu scanned the Dao Primordial experts present, his solemn words made everyone feel heavy-hearted.
They all understood the seriousness of the situation.
This battle might change the structure of the Western Regions and even the Kunwu Realm.
The impact is immense.
"Yes!"
Every Dao Primordial expert responded sincerely from the heart.
It concerns the Human Race, they cannot retreat.
Even if death lies ahead.
They must press forward courageously.
"Hmm, Palace Master Yi Xiu, Grand Elder Tiannan, Dark Venerable, I'll leave the task of gathering Dao Primordial elites to you."
"I understand thoroughly!"
"Rest assured, Dao Master, I will handle it beautifully."
...
The three of Dark Venerable nodded seriously.
"I, Martial Emperor Ming, thank all Daoist Fellows for your support!"
"Martial Emperor Ming, this isn't solely your responsibility, let go of the burden, calm yourself, so you can adjust well and strive to improve your cultivation before the spirit beast calamity."
"Haha! Daoist Fellow Yi Xiu is right. With the inclusion of Daoist Xia, I naturally feel at ease."
"Ahem, don't make me sound so godly, I am merely a mortal. This matter requires everyone's effort."
Xia Liu gave a bitter smile, found a random spot to sit down, and lifted his cup to signal everyone to drink together.
It wasn't until late at night that the Dao Primordial experts returned.
Xia Liu remained within the Imperial Palace.
He had a few matters to attend to.
Within the Imperial Traveling Palace.
Xia Liu strolled quietly beside the lakeside with Martial Emperor Ming.
"Daoist Xia, I truly apologize for today, I was overly anxious."
With no one around, Martial Emperor Ming discarded the name of Western Regions Emperor, apologized to Xia Liu like an ordinary person who had done something wrong.
"Martial Emperor Ming, forget about it, the misunderstanding is resolved, continuing would just be awkward."
"Haha! Daoist Xia is right."
Martial Emperor Ming's laughter held much bitterness.
Perhaps due to his great apprehension of Xia Liu's identity, maybe today was overly thrilling, causing his excitement.
"Going to the Northern Border for support is merely a delaying tactic. If the Western Land Beast King descends, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist."
Xia Liu was worried about this all day.
The Beast King, a presence comparable to the Human Race's Foundation Establishment Stage.
Is there anyone in the entire Kunwu Realm able to resist?
Even though Xia Liu had many trump cards, facing the Beast King, just hearing the name.
He had little confidence.
"Indeed, if the Beast King descends, we can only lay down our lives to fight."
Even if it ruins his foundations, Martial Emperor Ming would not stand by and watch the Beast King massacre the Human Race.
"Actually, I have a way, maybe it can stop the Beast King."
"Oh! Daoist Xia, please elaborate!"
Martial Emperor Ming understood the severity of the situation.
If the Beast King could be killed, Martial Emperor Ming would even be willing to offer his life-long cultivation.
"Gather Human Race resources to create a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator."
"This…"
Hearing this proposal, Martial Emperor Ming was deflated.
Creating a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, how is that possible.
Since the Cultivator Era, no Foundation Establishment Stage powerhouse has appeared within the Human Race.
No one knows the reason.
Some have speculated that perhaps the fortune of this land has vanished.
Or maybe this land is cursed.
Since then, no Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator has appeared.
"Martial Emperor Ming has no confidence?"
Inquired Xia Liu.
"Frankly, I have no confidence at all, firstly, there's no genius capable of advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage, secondly, how to reach Foundation Establishment Stage, no one knows."
"Martial Emperor Ming, don't you have a genius right in front of you?"
Xia Liu self-recommended.
"Daoist Xia, you're mistaken, you're not a genius, you're a monster! A Human Race monster!"
Martial Emperor Ming didn't dare compare Xia Liu to a genius.
Because he was a monster among geniuses.
But even as a monster, without the correct method, without opportunities, how could one break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage?
"Hehe, I have some confidence in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage."
"Oh? Daoist Xia knows the key to the breakthrough?"
Martial Emperor Ming focused intently, not daring to miss a word from Xia Liu.
Because, this might also be the key to his breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Has Martial Emperor Ming noticed, cultivators are like martial artists, initially using Qi, then exerting force?"
"I understand this point, the reason Foundation Establishment Stage and Qi Cultivation Stage are worlds apart, is because Foundation Establishment Stage comes with a strength that surpasses Qi transformation, the Spiritual Power that can break ten thousand laws!"
As the emperor of the Western Regions Imperial Family, Martial Emperor Ming somewhat knows this.
Yet, he never stops trying to convert the spirit energy within him into Spiritual Power.
But the effects are negligible.
Impossible to achieve.
He guesses the method is wrong.
But for over a hundred years, he has tried countless methods recorded in ancient texts.
The result is always nothing.
"Alright, seems I was overthinking. Since conventional methods cannot convert spiritual energy to Spiritual Power, what about using pills?"
"Pills? Daoist Xia, are you referring to the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
The Foundation Establishment Pill, which Martial Emperor Ming thinks about day and night, was finally spoken of.
If it were someone else, he wouldn't spill it, but the other is Xia Liu, that's different.
As the Master of Dao Primordial, plus his unfathomable mystery.
He knows far more things than I do.
