Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 585 - 292: Campaign Against the Seed Puppet Sect
"Fellow Daoists."
Seated at the top, Gu Yuntao spoke slowly.
That deep voice seemed to carry an invisible power, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.
Gu Yuntao stood up, gazing around, his eyes steady and firm.
"Gathering everyone here today, I’m sure you are all aware of our target—the Seed Puppet Sect."
His voice was hoarse, exuding a peculiar aura with every move.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Speed is of the essence in warfare. In my opinion, we should commence our campaign against the Seed Puppet Sect tomorrow."
"Does anyone have any objections to this?"
"Tomorrow?"
Xu Ping frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.
Tomorrow it is. After all, in the Cultivation Realm, there’s no emphasis on meticulous preparation before action.
"Yu Wei has no objections to this schedule, but shouldn’t Daoist Gu reveal a bit about the trump card we have against the Seed Puppet Sect?"
The speaker was a burly middle-aged man, whose cultivation had reached the Late-Stage Golden Core, who was calmly posing the question.
Their apparent collective strength could barely contend with the Seed Puppet Sect, yet the Seed Puppet Sect had long been entrenched in the Wind Country with deep roots.
Simply the supposedly Fourth Rank Puppets might not be the only ones, and who could say if more hidden aces lay behind them?
Rushing in heedlessly involved risks of an overwhelming magnitude.
"Does Daoist Yu Wei not trust Gu?"
Gu Yuntao narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sharply fixed on Yu Wei.
"It’s not a matter of trust, but the campaign against the Seed Puppet Sect is no trivial matter."
"Moreover, if we’re to set out tomorrow, it would be reassuring if Daoist Gu could reveal the trump card, wouldn’t you agree?"
Yu Wei put on a smile, speaking with laughter.
His words immediately stirred a strong resonance among the other cultivators present.
"Indeed, Daoist Gu, waging war against the Seed Puppet Sect poses a considerable risk to us."
The other Golden Core cultivators, hearing these words, echoed in agreement.
For a moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on Gu Yuntao.
Even the usually calm and composed Xu Ping was looking at Gu Yuntao.
He too was interested in Gu Yuntao’s trump card.
After all, knowing the trump card offers some peace of mind amidst worries.
Over the years, though he collaborated with Gu Yuntao, he was not fully aware of some of Gu Yuntao’s plans.
This campaign against the Seed Puppet Sect was significant, and he hoped to learn more to better respond to possible crises.
"In that case..."
Gu Yuntao remained calm, slowly glancing around the crowd before speaking in a tranquil voice, "Then I shall no longer hide and will reveal to you all!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Whoosh!
A surge of incomparably massive and incredibly intimidating aura suddenly rose from within Gu Yuntao.
This aura, like turbulent waves, oppressed the entire great hall with overwhelming force.
The majestic power, akin to an invisible mountain, pressed heavily on everyone, making their breathing rapid and difficult.
"Nascent Soul Cultivator!!"
In an instant, the faces of all the Golden Core cultivators turned as pale as paper, their eyes involuntarily revealing deep shock and fear.
To know, this was indeed a Nascent Soul Cultivator!
The realm of Nascent Soul was vastly different from the Golden Core Realm; once entering the Nascent Soul Realm, one’s strength undergoes a qualitative leap.
Gu Yuntao had broken through so quietly?
How is that possible!?
A Nascent Soul breakthrough creates significant commotion, even a Fourth Rank Array can’t conceal it; when did he break through?
At this moment, even the consistently composed Xu Ping showed an expression of extreme shock on his face.
This result far exceeded his previous expectations.
He had thought at most they had a Fourth Rank Puppet, but never imagined the opponent had broken through to the Nascent Soul.
At the same level, a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s strength is significantly greater than that of a simple Fourth Rank Puppet.
"No!"
"Something’s not right!"
However, when Xu Ping forced himself to calm down, he keenly sensed something unusual.
The Nascent Soul aura emanating from Gu Yuntao was exceedingly strange.
This aura was extraordinarily similar to that of a Fourth Rank Puppet.
But upon close discernment, it was interspersed with a unique aura belonging only to living beings with genuine flesh and blood.
"What on earth is this?"
Xu Ping was riddled with questions, utterly confused, but at the moment he dared not ask rashly.
After all, the aura presently emanating from Gu Yuntao genuinely reached the Nascent Soul Level.
Even if he used all his abilities, he undoubtedly wasn’t an opponent, capable only of self-preservation.
At this moment, as the people recovered, they too began to notice this anomaly.
After all, all were Puppet Masters present, having interacted countless times with puppets and becoming deeply familiar with their auras.
Yet, even if their hearts were filled with doubt, nobody dared to voice it, not even daring to take a breath aloud.
In their eyes, a Nascent Soul Cultivator was an exalted being, one that could suppress everything.
Even if all of them joined forces, Gu Yuntao could likely slaughter them with ease.
And to question such a fearsome being, even if given ten times the courage, they would not dare act rashly.
