I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 609 - 333: Sealed Land (Part 1)

"I take my leave!" Everyone acknowledged the command and swiftly left the place filled with a murderous atmosphere, and Hong Shuang, along with Hong San, also left the underwater cave,

...

"Sister, I lost my mind for a moment earlier!" As soon as they exited the cave, Hong San realized his actions nearly implicated Hong Shuang, and he felt a surge of panic. He took a step forward and apologized to Hong Shuang.

Hong Shuang stopped her steps, turned around, and looked deeply at Hong San, her eyes filled with disappointment and heartbreak. Hong San once again has chilled her heart. Hong Shuang had lost hope for this younger brother!

Hong Shuang also understood that now was not the time to assign blame. If they cannot complete this mission, the two siblings might truly be in danger of losing their lives, and reproach at this time would be meaningless.

"Be more careful in the future!" Hong Shuang’s heart was a mixture of emotions, she tried to calm herself down and instructed with a trembling voice.

After speaking, Hong Shuang turned around to leave. What needed to be done now was to quickly find the sealed land.

"Sister, have you found any clues about the sealed land?" Hong San spoke up again, calling after Hong Shuang with concern.

Hong Shuang stopped and glanced back at Hong San, saying blandly, "Don’t worry about this! I have my own plans!"

As soon as her words fell, Hong Shuang turned into a red shadow and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Watching Hong Shuang’s departing back, Hong San couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. A hint of joy appeared on his face, hearing from his sister’s tone, it seemed there was hope for this mission after all.

————

On the Ten Thousand Stars Island, a large number of spiritual ships were densely docked like giant dragons at the harbor, flags fluttering, their momentum awe-inspiring. These spiritual ships were warships from various major sects, gathered here in a grand display.

The flagship of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect was particularly eye-catching, with ancient sword patterns engraved on the hull, emitting sharp sword Qi. Inside the flagship cabin, numerous high-tier cultivators gathered, the atmosphere solemn and majestic.

Sword Master Feng, the Sword Master of a Sword Peak of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, was seated at the head position, clad in a blue robe, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, exuding a remarkable aura. His sharp gaze swept across the people, containing a sword intent that was not easily released.

Hall Master Zeng, Supreme Elder of the Taiyi Sect, and an Integration Realm powerhouse, was dressed in golden robes, black hair flowing in the wind, his demeanor restrained, resembling an ordinary old man.

Enlightenment Saint Monk, a prominent figure among the younger generation of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, with a solemnly dignified appearance, a compassionate expression on his face, wore a white monk robe, with a delicate face, holding a string of Buddha beads, gently twisting them, emitting a faint Buddha light.

Elders from branches of the Eight Great Clans each occupied a corner, being core figures among the Eight Great Cultivation Clans, spokespersons of various lesser sects. Whether dignified, elegant, or mysterious, without exception, they were outstanding figures within their respective sects, their strength not to be underestimated. They gathered to discuss the matter of eradicating the Nine Demons Sect’s presence in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region.

"Everyone," Sword Master Feng slowly began, his voice imbued with authority and power, "through the soul search of the two demon ancestors, we have learned of the Nine Demons Sect’s purpose for coming to the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region this time."

The audience concentrated and listened attentively as Sword Master Feng continued, "The main goal of the Nine Demons Sect this trip is to find a sealed land."

"Ten thousand years ago, the Demon Abyss invaded this realm, causing a war between the two realms that left a trail of devastation. To completely seal the passage between the two realms, protecting this realm from demonic invasion, several Daoist Monarchs joined forces and set up eight inter-realm seals located in places such as the Central Continent Spirit Realm, Southern Wilderness Continent, Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region, Beiqiong Heavenly Mountain, and the Western Realm. Now, the Nine Demons Sect has audaciously extended its claws towards a certain world Dao seal in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region," Sword Master Feng introduced angrily, eyes filled with sword aura.

The audience was dumbfounded, their faces full of shock and confusion. They had never heard of the secret of the seal, nor expected the target of the Nine Demons Sect this time to be this sealed land. This news, like a cold current, instantly pierced through their hearts, making them feel a chill down their spines.

"The Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm has already fallen, we absolutely cannot let the Nine Demons Sect succeed!" the Supreme Elder of the Shangguan Family gritted his teeth and said.

"Fortunately, this discovery came just in time; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Enlightenment Saint Monk sighed, his heart a mix of relief and worry.

"The ambition of the Nine Demons Sect is laid bare, we must quash them swiftly!"

...

Everyone expressed their agreement, understanding that the situation was urgent, they must act quickly.

"Sword Master Feng." Taiyi Sect’s Hall Master Zeng looked at Sword Master Feng with concern and asked, "Now that we know the Nine Demons Sect’s objective in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region, we must be vigilant. What should our next steps be?"

Sword Master Feng nodded slightly, pondering for a moment, and slowly said, "Our initial purpose for this mission was to support the Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm and to thoroughly close the gap of the Southern Wilderness Demon Abyss Passage. This matter cannot wait, our action plan remains unchanged, but we need to leave behind a group of people to find the sealed land in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region and eradicate the remaining forces of the Nine Demons Sect in the area."

Sword Master Feng’s eyes flickered with killing intent, knowing well the cruelty and greed of the Nine Demons Sect; if they succeed, this realm would be plunged into eternal damnation.

Sword Master Feng continued with the arrangements, "At the same time, I will notify the sects of the Central Continent to closely monitor the other seal sites to ensure they do not fall into the hands of the Nine Demons Sect."

"Sword Master Feng is wise!" the people unanimously praised.

"Sword Master Feng, with your wisdom, what are your plans for stationing personnel at the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region?" a family elder asked with concern.

"Indeed! The sealed land in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region must not be compromised. We must find it before the Nine Demons Sect and lay down heavy defenses to ensure it remains invulnerable."

"Certainly, this matter is extremely critical. We must be prepared for a final battle with the remaining forces of the Nine Demons Sect. Once they truly find the sealed land and attempt to unseal it, we must swiftly eliminate them completely."

...

As Sword Master Feng’s voice fell, the other family elders and the heads of small sects promptly expressed their approval, eagerly waiting for Sword Master Feng’s next instructions.

Next, Sword Master Feng will assign the personnel for guarding the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region, which is their most pressing concern.

This time, the joint fleet undertaking the two missions in the Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm involves life-or-death operations, and everyone is especially hopeful for the chance to remain behind to deal with the Nine Demons Sect’s remaining forces.

Compared to the deadly mission in the Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm, the task of staying behind to find the sealed land and eliminate the Nine Demons Sect’s remaining forces, though daunting, clearly offers much higher chances of survival.

Sword Master Feng’s keen gaze swept across everyone’s faces, fully aware of their thoughts.

He even considered giving this opportunity to the disciples of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, as they are the core strength of the sect, but for the sake of the greater picture, emotionally and logically, he could not do so.

Sword Master Feng thought briefly and immediately made a sound decision, solemnly stating, "This time, we were able to detect the presence of the Nine Demons Sect in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region in advance and eliminate most of their forces thanks to Elder Chen from the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, Kun Family’s Tianshang and Kun Ling. Their three’s keen perception and intelligence reporting allowed us to severely damage the Nine Demons Sect."

"The three have achieved great merit, each rewarded with one hundred thousand merits. Additionally, they are responsible for this matter. What do you all think?" Sword Master Feng paused, then looked around the room and decided as such.

Upon hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed across the faces of numerous small sect heads and family elders, but Sword Master Feng’s arrangement was fair and reasonable; they had no reason to object.

"Just follow Sword Master Feng’s decree!" A small sect leader expressed his support first.

"Yes! With local sect forces cooperating, we should be able to locate the sealed land before the Nine Demons Sect!" Another family elder agreed.

...

Having achieved merit, the three were now free from any wrangle. Everyone else also chimed in, supporting Sword Master Feng’s decision.
