Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 664 - 338. Cutting off the physical body, solidifying the Heavenly Phoenix Dao body

...

...

Two days after Sect Master Fang and Wu Miao left, Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch and Jade Balance Taoist Lord of Starfall Sect received the news and immediately returned to the Butian Sect to apologize to Xu Xing.

During the high-level meeting, after Xu Xing decided to take action against the Godslayer Sect, the two of them did not stay long in the Butian Sect. Instead, they went to the area near the Godslayer Sect to gather intelligence.

Regarding the affair of the back mountain, they were "unaware" and rushed back to the Butian Sect only after receiving orders from their subordinates.

"Those who do not know are not guilty. I have always trusted both of you, Daoist friends..."

In the Side Hall of the Butian Sect, Xu Xing listened to the apologies of Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch and Jade Balance Taoist Lord, nodded, and smiled.

"Moreover, this Sect Leader is also at fault for overlooking the intentions of Crow Saintess, which led to this disaster..."

"Sect Master Fang was eager to protect his disciple and acted out of urgency," Xu Xing said.

The mistake had been made! It would be impossible for him to trust these people from Starfall Sect any more. Similarly, the cultivators of Starfall Sect would also harbor reservations about his actions... This would require time to heal!

"Thank you, Sect Leader, for your understanding. On behalf of Sect Master Fang and Saintess Wu Miao, I express my gratitude..."

Upon hearing this, Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch sighed. He exchanged glances with Jade Balance Taoist Lord, and then they both bowed to Xu Xing.

With this bow, the matter reached a conclusion.

A solitary crane cries, and it is destined by fate, he thought silently.

Back then, when Xu Xing had made his breakthrough in Starfall Sect's Blessed Land, the Iron Crown Crane he kept had danced joyfully upon seeing the auspicious sign. Because of the crane's unique characteristics, he became convinced that Xu Xing possessed Great Fortune and thus decided to bet on Xu Xing in subsequent choices.

However, there had only been one Iron Crown Crane in Starfall Sect from the very beginning, and a second one had never been found.

"The Godslayer Sect remains the same as before, deploying heavy troops to guard the key locations of Meteor Saint Mountain and Demon King Ridge. Their sect headquarters has only seven Dao Lords..."

After discussing private matters, Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch pondered for a short while before reporting to Xu Xing the intelligence he had gathered on the Godslayer Sect over the past two days.

"The number of publicly known Nascent Soul cultivators in the Godslayer Sect is twelve. According to my perceptions and those of Jade Balance, five Dao Lords are stationed in the two key locations, Meteor Saint Mountain and Demon King Ridge. Therefore, it is evident that the Godslayer Sect's headquarters has only seven Dao Lords."

"With our Sect Leader presiding, if our sect mobilizes fully against the Godslayer Sect, victory should be easily attainable."

"However... if we attack the Godslayer Sect's headquarters and leave no one to guard our own sect, the Godslayer Sect's Dao Lords at Meteor Saint Mountain and Demon King Ridge might abandon their headquarters and turn to attack our sect..."

"Our sect's foundation might not survive," Jade Balance Taoist Lord said, hesitating. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

This time, he and Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch had estimated the time it would take for Nascent Soul cultivators to travel from Demon King Ridge and Meteor Saint Mountain to the Butian Sect.

If unimpeded, the Godslayer Sect's Nascent Soul Dao Lords could arrive at the Butian Sect in half a day.

At that time, the Butian Sect would be undefended. Even if they destroyed the Godslayer Sect's lair, they themselves would suffer heavy losses.

"Although the Sect Leader's strength is unparalleled, in this attack, he will need to restrain Tianyu Saint Monarch of the Yin Wind Gate... I'm afraid there won't be enough time to get involved in the Nascent Soul battlefield and return to aid the sect," Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch added. "Among the Demonic Path sects, even if the Yin Wind Gate looks down on the Godslayer Sect as an upstart, if the Butian Sect launches an all-out attack, as the Godslayer Sect's Upper Sect, Tianyu Saint Monarch of the Yin Wind Gate will inevitably intervene to help the Godslayer Sect and tie down Xu Xing. Of course, our previous assumption at the high-level meeting—that the Godslayer Sect would be isolated and without assistance—was not entirely false either. Tianyu Saint Monarch will help the Godslayer Sect restrain Xu Xing. However, he will not interfere too much in the Nascent Soul battlefield. Instead, he will likely sit back and watch the two sects struggle, exhausting the Godslayer Sect's potential to challenge the Ten Great Higher Teachings."

"Daoist Immortal Mei and Daoist Jade Balance, you two are only in the Nascent Soul Early Stage and slightly weaker in combat. You should stay in the sect to protect it."

"As for the other Daoist friends, you will follow me to the Godslayer Sect's headquarters to fight..." Xu Xing said, after pondering for a moment and revealing his battle plan.

As his words fell, Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch's and Jade Balance Taoist Lord's expressions changed. They opened their mouths as if to speak, but then stopped abruptly, as if having second thoughts.

Previously, the Butian Sect had seven Dao Lords: two who had joined from Flying Feather Immortal Palace, three from Starfall Sect, one from Snow Maiden Sect, and one from Chongzhen Temple.

However, after Sect Master Fang was driven out of the Butian Sect by Xu Xing, there were now only six Dao Lords in the Butian Sect.

Their Nascent Soul-level combat power was stretched thin.

In Xu Xing's battle plan, excluding the two Dao Lords who would remain to guard the Butian Sect, only four Nascent Soul Dao Lords would be going to battle. Furthermore, they would be fighting on enemy territory, outnumbered four to seven. No matter how one looked at it, the chances of winning this attack on the Godslayer Sect did not seem high.

"Sect Leader, why not inform the Seven Stars Sect about this and borrow some of their Dao Lords?"

"With the assistance of Mao Ri Saint Lord, Sect Leader, you will also have more confidence when confronting the Yin Wind Gate," Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch said, bringing up the old issue. He intended to propose drawing on external assistance from the Seven Stars Sect, the hegemon of the North Wilderness.

Last time, he had supported Xu Xing's opinion because Xu Xing had deep ties with Starfall Sect. Additionally, it was a high-level meeting where he couldn't easily make Xu Xing lose face, so he hadn't voiced his true thoughts.

Now, the relationship between Starfall Sect and the Butian Sect was tense, and attacking the Godslayer Sect was clearly a dangerous undertaking...

He was naturally unwilling to proceed.

He had joined the Butian Sect to seek benefits, not to further Xu Xing's ambitions of hegemony, so why would he readily sacrifice himself?

"What Daoist Greedy Wolf says is reasonable; those are prudent words. With four against seven, the chances of victory are indeed not high..."
