Chapter 286.2: The Will of the Masses Condenses the Martial Dao! Flesh and Blood Transforms, at Last Reaching Seventh Growth! (II)

At the mention of spirit relics, the faces of the Divine Sword Manor's Earthly Saints turned grave. Clearly, a spirit relic was a fearsome thing with enormous power. Even if a Deity Transformation cultivator could not bring out its full power, suppressing a cultivator of the same rank with one would be child's play.

In the Immortal Martial World, if a Deity Transformation cultivator truly mastered a spirit relic, there was only one word for it: invincibility. The wielder would be invincible in the Deity Transformation realm!

Of course, there were Earthly Saints invincible in their own realm as well, though nearly all of them relied on their own strength. In order for an Earthly Saint to become invincible in their own realm, one had to work on that from the very first steps of martial training, to build an unshakeable foundation at every stage and climb to the realm of Earthly Saint one step at a time. Only by doing so would one have the slightest chance of becoming invincible.

Regardless, Earthly Saints of that caliber were few and far in between. Whenever some Earthly Saint claimed to be invincible, usually it was just empty boasting, far from actually being invincible in the true sense of the word. At the end of the day, only an Earthly Saint who could stand against a spirit relic deserved to call themselves invincible!

Unfortunately, the Divine Sword Manor had no such Earthly Saint. In fact, it could not even manage to invite one.

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment, then said, "Divine Sword Manor paid an enormous price to have a Void Refinement expert forge a set of formation flags, right? Even if the Kunyu Immortal Sect brings a spirit relic against us, so what? They won't break through our defenses anytime soon. By the time they do, we would have long since gone back to the Immortal Martial World.

"Right now, it's a race against time. Send out as many blood descendants as we can and convert people as fast as possible. The more blood descendants there are, the better our chances of condensing the Martial Dao. Once it's condensed, my Flesh and Blood Martial Dao might actually reach the next stage. If that happens, standing against a spirit relic may not be out of the question."

A sharp gleam flickered in Lu Changsheng's eyes. He did not know whether his current Earthly Saint Dao Body could stand against a spirit relic. However, he was confident he would be able to contend with one once his Flesh and Blood Martial Dao reached Seventh Growth.

The numerous Earthly Saints of Divine Sword Manor were startled, some of them looking at each other in shock. They hadn't imagined that Lu Changsheng had actually come up with something during his period of seclusion. Was he actually attempting to become an invincible Earthly Saint?

That would be most shocking, as currently there was not even one invincible Earthly Saint in all of Sacred Star City. If Lu Changsheng actually managed to become invincible, then the Primal World's Martial Dao fragments would be theirs for certain this time!

Still, could one actually become an invincible Earthly Saint, just like that?

"Very well. We'll send people out at once and throw everything into converting blood descendants!"

No matter what happened, converting more blood descendants would only help in condensing the Martial Dao.

And just like that, Divine Sword Manor went into full operation once again, supporting the blood descendants in spreading across the whole Primal World.

At the Kunyu Immortal Sect, several Deity Transformation grand elders from the Supreme Sky Sect were highly agitated. One of them could not help pressing the question. "Sect master, several months have passed already. Has the spirit relic still not been brought forth?"

Truthfully, the sect master of the Kunyu Immortal Sect had petitioned the grand elder several months earlier, hoping to summon the spirit relic. However, the spirit relic had refused. Indeed, this spirit relic was already sentient, and it had answered the request to be summoned with a resounding no. So special was this spirit relic that one had to entreat it to emerge.

"It's almost time. The grand elder has already come to an agreement with the spirit relic. Next month, it will leave the mountain with me and wipe out the Divine Sword Manor! Rest assured, one more month makes no difference at all. Once the spirit relic of our Kunyu Immortal Sect comes out, it will sweep away everything before it, and it will trample the Divine Sword Manor without fail!"

The master of the Kunyu Immortal Sect spoke with unwavering confidence. That confidence came from the history of the sect. Every time the Kunyu Immortal Sect met with some kind of catastrophe, bringing forth the spirit relic resolved it without fail. That was how powerful a spirit relic was.

With a spirit relic watching over it, the Kunyu Immortal Sect could rest easy. Passing its lineage down for a million years, or even hundreds of millions of years, would not be difficult either.

The Supreme Sky Sect saw Divine Sword Manor as a grave threat, yet the sect master of the Kunyu Immortal Sect had never paid it much mind. It hardly mattered whether it was the Divine Sword Manor or some other manor. Once the spirit relic came out, the threat would be eliminated for certain.

The grand elders of the Supreme Sky Sect wanted to argue but ultimately held their tongues. They had already waited several months so one more month made little difference.

Time flew by, and at last, a month had passed.

That day, the sect master of the Kunyu Immortal Sect led the Supreme Sky Sect's grand elders to the highest peak of the Kunyu Immortal Sect. All of them were solemn as the sect's spirit relic resided on that peak.

With a respectful expression, the sect master called out in a loud voice, "I, sect master of the Kunyu Immortal Sect, respectfully invites the spirit relic out!"

The moment his voice sounded, something sudden happened.

Rumble!

All at once, the earth shook and the mountain swayed as if the whole peak was about to collapse.

"Is this...?" One of the Supreme Sky Sect's grand elders was shaken to his core. For some reason, he felt an imminent sense of danger, as though some terrifying entity was about to emerge.

"The spirit relic?!"

Indeed, the spirit relic of the Kunyu Immortal Sect was about to appear.

Buzz!

The next moment, a great seal lay across the sky in a flash of intertwined black and white light. At the same time, an old man with snow-white hair and beard emerged in the sky, holding the great seal in his hand. He looked awe-inspiring and imposing, like a god among men.

A Deity Transformation grand elder! Clearly, the figure before them was the grand elder who wielded the spirit relic, Grand Elder Tiangang. He was the Kunyu Immortal Sect's number one man.

The master of the Kunyu Immortal Sect bowed immediately. "Greetings, Grand Elder Tiangang. Greetings, Venerable Spirit!"

Throughout the Primal World, spirit relics were generally addressed as "Venerable Spirit." It was akin to regarding one as a grand elder of the sect rather than merely a treasure.

A clear, crisp voice, like that of a child, rang out from within the spirit relic. "Hehehe! Old man Tiangang, where are you taking me to play this time? If that Divine Sword Manor isn't any fun, don't blame me for not coming out with you next time."

Grand Elder Tiangang smiled. "Rest assured, Venerable Spirit. The Divine Sword Manor is no weakling. It managed to destroy the Supreme Sky Sect so it's very strong. It should provide you with enough fun."

The spirit relic of the Kunyu Immortal Sect was called the Mountain-Moving Seal. It had been forged from eighteen primordial divine mountains, and those eighteen mountains were sealed within it.

These primordial divine mountains were nothing like ordinary mountains. An ordinary peak could be reduced to dust by a Deity Transformation grand elder at will, but a primordial divine mountain was essentially indestructible. Just one primordial divine mountain could easily compare to the strength of a Deity Transformation cultivator.

For that reason, the might of the Mountain-Moving Seal was beyond belief. Whenever it made a move, it usually only needed to unleash the power of one or two primordial divine mountains to suppress a Deity Transformation cultivator. To this day, it had never once gone all out and released the power of all eighteen. That alone spoke volumes about how powerful it truly was.

Grand Elder Tiangang glanced at the other Deity Transformation cultivators. "Fellow Daoists, you must be from the Supreme Sky Sect? What happened to the Supreme Sky Sect is lamentable. However, the Supreme Sky Sect and the Kunyu Immortal Sect are now one family, so the affairs of the Supreme Sky Sect are naturally our affairs too.

"Besides, that Divine Sword Manor walks a heretical, demonic path. It is up to our Kunyu Immortal Sect to uphold the Immortal Dao and wipe the Divine Sword Manor out. Fellow Daoists, you may come with me."

The grand elders of the Supreme Sky Sect bowed at once, clearly overjoyed. "Fellow Daoist and Venerable Spirit, we are indebted to you!"

With that, the group set off in a grand procession toward Divine Sword Manor. Almost every one of them was a Deity Transformation grand elder, and there were well over ten of them.
