This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 595 - 70: The Wind Rises
Chapter 595: Chapter 70: The Wind Rises
Located on the Chuan Shang Plateau in the Central Spirit Domain, a majestic river named the Tsangpo River flows through the center of the plateau, dividing it into the north and south banks.
Along the shores of this river, known as the highest elevation river in the world, a series of massive buildings with bustling human activity stands.
This place belongs to one of the seven great Taoist Sects of the Human Race, the Rinsing Spirit Sect.
As a Sect that rose to prominence during the Chang’an Years, over the past 20,000 years, the rise of the Rinsing Spirit Sect has been unstoppable.
To this day, whispers of it becoming the foremost sect among the human race indicate its immense strength.
Due to the unique nature of the sect, the overall atmosphere of the Rinsing Spirit Sect is distinctly different from other sects.
...
Within the Rinsing Spirit Sect, demon beasts abound: flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and burrowing in the earth, creating a pervasive sense of wilderness throughout the sect.
To outsiders visiting the Rinsing Spirit Sect for the first time, it might even feel like entering a demon nation, rather than a human sect.
In the depths of the Rinsing Spirit Sect, an extremely rugged stone temple known as Guiya stands built from stones.
This temple is named “Guiya”.
“Taiyin, news came from Great Xia,” a somber voice echoed in the Guiya temple, “Xia Zhao is preparing to decide the final location of the Luo Snail Dao Field through a tournament form.”
“A Dao Field tournament?”
“Each of the domains is to select ten cultivators below the Void Refining stage to compete in magical combat by defending and attacking a position.
The domain whose cultivators remain till the end will be the location where the Luo Snail Dao Field is established.”
“That’s a clever solution. That woman indeed has many ideas,” Sect Leader Taiyin said with a light chuckle.
“Cultivators below the Void Refining stage means only Nascent Soul Cultivators can fight… thus, the Yellow List is an extremely important reference factor.”
“With two of the top three on the Yellow List from the Eastern Domain—Ji Chuan from the Sword Sect ranking first and Lu Qingshan of the Sword Sect ranking third—
it appears that the Eastern Domain has a strong chance of winning.”
“Rest assured, everyone can see these factors, and it’s clear to all that the Eastern Domain has a high chance of winning.

But everyone deems the Luo Snail Dao Field a must-win.
As the saying goes, ‘A tree that stands out in the forest is the first to be blown down.’ The Northern Domain, Central Heaven Domain, and the Central Martial Domain have already sent messages proposing that at the time of the great competition, they first join forces to defeat the cultivators from the Eastern Domain. After that, we can compete fairly among ourselves.”
“The Western Domain and Southern Territory are yet to make up their minds, but they are quite inclined towards the proposition.”
“Oh? Even the Central Heaven Domain is involved? Isn’t the Heavenly Secret Pavilion always neutral and prides itself on being lofty and pure? How come they are willing to engage in this scheme to exclude the Eastern Domain this time? Has the ‘Goddess descended to earth’?” Sect Leader Taiyin sneered.
“The style of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion hasn’t changed; it’s mainly because this Dao Field tournament is fought in the name of domains this time.
Our Six Domains will naturally be led by the Taoist Sects, but besides the Heavenly Secret Pavillion, Great Xia also exists in the Central Heaven Domain.
This time, the initiative in the Central Heaven Domain is led by Great Xia, and the idea to exclude the Eastern Domain was started by several Great Xia nobles.”
“Heh…those lords might be incompetent in other matters, but they excel at such underhanded tactics. They are indeed holding everyone back.”
“That’s exactly what we want. The more such fools, the better. Since they’ve taken the initiative, we’ll just jump aboard.
We will agree to join hands in excluding the Eastern Domain, and let them be the first to be eliminated, ensuring that the Sword Sect in the Eastern Domain loses face in front of many cultivators.”
“Alright, then it’s settled.
Furthermore, the Luo Snail Dao Field holds significant meaning, so instruct the disciples to do their utmost to keep it in our Central Spirit Domain.”
…
While Lu Qingshan was enlightening himself about causality in the Causality Tower, the matter of the Dao Field tournament was already stirring up a storm in the outside world.
Various factions were eagerly preparing themselves.
Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Lotus Peak.
“Lu Qingshan hasn’t come out of the Causality Tower yet?”
Sitting cross-legged and just finishing her cultivation session with hand seals, Lin Yao had not yet risen when she heard a familiar voice.
Opening her eyes, she realized that her master was standing in front of her, seemingly waiting for her to finish her cultivation.
“No,” Lin Yao quickly rose up and shook her head, noticing something amiss with her master’s expression and hurriedly asked, “Master, has something happened?”
“If that boy doesn’t come out soon, this time your master really will face a great disaster,” the Shui Yue Pavilion Master said with a grim face.
“Ah, what’s the matter?” Lin Yao exclaimed in astonishment.
“It’s because of the Luo Snail Dao Field.”
“The Luo Snail Dao Field?” Lin Yao frowned in confusion, “What place is that, and what does it have to do with Young Master Lu?”
The Shui Yue Pavilion Master sighed and explained to Lin Yao, “The Luo Snail Dao Field is being established by Great Xia in anticipation of the forthcoming resurgence of the Demon Race, aimed at fully tapping into the potential of Human Cultivators to enhance the foundation of the Human Race.
“There are undoubtedly many exceptionally talented individuals among the Loose Cultivators or the smaller family cultivators at times of great changes like Transforming into a Dragon.
“However, not every golden scale will encounter such opportunities; it depends on personal destiny.
“During these turbulent times, we need to harness every bit of strength, so a place for these cultivators to transform, the Luo Snail Dao Field, is being prepared.”
Lin Yao seemed to understand, “This seems similar in nature to the Tournament of the Seven Domains we held.”
“Indeed,” the Shui Yue Pavilion Master nodded, “The Tournament of the Seven Domains held during the third year of Tianyuan was actually a trial.
“Looking back, conducting the Tournament of the Seven Domains was a very correct decision and was highly effective. Indeed, there were many geniuses among the Human Loose Cultivators.”
