Urban Invincible Overlord-Chapter 1359 - 1356: Confirmation
Seeing Wan Daorong inquire, Li Shuya still dared not show disrespect.
Firstly, Wan Daorong’s strength was naturally superior to theirs, being only a step away from the Harmonization (Mahayana) stage; secondly, he was one of the Seven Peak Masters of the Shang Qing Sect, with substantial background and vast connections, making it impossible to offend him.
So Li Shuya immediately explained the situation.
Of course, he knew that the alliance of the five families to coerce the Lingxiao Sect was wrong, so he did not deny in his words that the Lingxiao Sect acted honorably after discovering Earth, not wronging the five families. But the Five Great Cultivation Forces, to maintain the current situation in the Southern Domain and not be overridden by the Lingxiao Sect, could not possibly refrain from competing when encountering such a good thing as the Genetic Liquid Medicine.
He spoke straightforwardly, which rendered Zhao Yunzhi speechless with anger.
Wang Zudao and the other leaders from different families chimed in agreement, all acknowledging that the Lingxiao Sect was indeed magnanimous, not forgetting them even when gaining benefits, but on the other hand, they were unwilling to accept the Lingxiao Sect secretly developing for years after obtaining the Genetic Liquid Medicine, attempting to quietly surpass the five families.
In summary, the five families clearly expressed that although they knew their actions were somewhat dishonorable, for the sake of their sects’ development and future, they could not let the Lingxiao Sect dominate alone.
Such matters, for the leaders and high ranks of each family, were naturally justifiable.
If they sacrificed righteousness and face to allow the Lingxiao Sect to dominate alone, they would ultimately become subordinate forces of the Lingxiao Sect, leaving them with no face to meet their ancestors in the future.
Wan Daorong silently nodded at Li Shuya and Wang Zudao’s explanation; though he did not agree, he understood.
Furthermore, the competition and constraints among the six great forces in the Southern Domain had more advantages than disadvantages for the Shang Qing Sect. If the Lingxiao Sect dominated alone, it might become a significant threat and trouble for the Shang Qing Sect in the future.
However, he was privately very close to Zhao Yunzhi and relatively favored the Lingxiao Sect among the six great cultivation forces in the Southern Domain.
Especially after the discovery of the Genetic Liquid Medicine, Zhao Yunzhi did not hesitate and immediately sought his support, hoping to receive protection from the Shang Qing Sect while giving the Lingxiao Sect an opportunity to thrive.
Zhao Yunzhi’s approach greatly satisfied him; even the Sect Master of the Shang Qing Sect acknowledged that if the matter of the Divine Medicine were true, supporting the Lingxiao Sect in the Southern South Domain would not be impossible.
But now that the other five families brought the matter to light, insisting on sharing the pie, things became tricky.
As he hesitated, Jiang Yao spoke: "Ancestor, Master Wan, disciple feels now is not the time to dispute resource allocation. We have completely fallen out with Earth, and the youngsters of the Earth Cultivation World are fiercely courageous people unafraid of death. They would rather perish together with Earth than yield to us. Therefore, obtaining Earth’s resources will be very difficult; we must find a way to resolve this matter."
Wan Daorong knew Jiang Yao well, having personally taught him, and when he opened his mouth, Wan Daorong looked over, his pupils suddenly contracting slightly, exclaiming in surprise: "Jiang Yao, you’ve already grasped the subtleties of the Divinity Transformation Realm, stepped one foot into its threshold?"
Jiang Yao hurriedly bowed: "Disciple’s aptitude is dull, having not grown for many years. Recently, I have had some insights, finally taking a small step forward, thanks to Master Wan’s teachings back then."
Zhao Yunzhi hadn’t noticed Jiang Yao’s condition earlier, but reminded by Wan Daorong, he immediately became aware, and joyfully laughed: "Good, good, heaven blesses my Lingxiao Sect."
Li Shuya couldn’t help but snort: "It’s not heaven blessing your Lingxiao Sect, but your Lingxiao Sect quietly enjoying that Genetic Liquid Medicine all these years."
Wang Zudao promptly added: "Indeed, Master Wan, Jiang Yao’s ability to take this step is related to his long-term intake of the Genetic Liquid Medicine, which is said to enhance a cultivator’s Spirit Root Talent, naturally providing immense assistance to cultivation. Such a Divine Medicine, how can we not compete for it?"
Wan Daorong’s expression turned serious, he looked at Jiang Yao and asked: "Jiang Yao, speak honestly, your ability to take this step, is it related to consuming the Genetic Liquid Medicine?"
Jiang Yao looked at Zhao Yunzhi.
Zhao Yunzhi’s eyelid twitched, snorted: "Speak honestly, it doesn’t matter."
Jiang Yao sighed inwardly, knowing the secret of the Genetic Liquid Medicine would be completely exposed now, he nodded and said: "In reply to Master Wan, disciple has indeed been consuming the Genetic Liquid Medicine for years, and suddenly discovered three years ago a slight change in my cultivation talent and aptitude, hence taking this crucial step."
Wan Daorong was greatly astonished.
When Zhao Yunzhi initially mentioned the miraculous effects of the Genetic Liquid Medicine, he was skeptical.
Over tens of thousands of years in the cultivation world, was there any formidable figure that hadn’t appeared?
Even during countless glorious eras teeming with great cultivators, the issue of mortal bones lacking Spirit Roots hindering cultivation had remained unsolved.
Yet, Zhao Yunzhi came to tell him about discovering a Small World where he obtained Genetic Liquid Medicine, which could produce Spirit Roots in those without them and further elevate the grade of existing Spirit Root aptitude.
At that time, Wan Daorong thought Zhao Yunzhi was crazy, even capable of making up such a lie.
But Zhao Yunzhi’s account was so convincing, coupled with his familiarity with Zhao Yunzhi, considering that such an enormous matter wouldn’t likely involve deceit, Wan Daorong decided to follow him.
Upon arriving, seeing experts and elite forces from the other five forces of the Southern Domain converging here, Wan Daorong realized Zhao Yunzhi’s claims might be true, otherwise, the major cultivation forces in the Southern South Domain wouldn’t be mobilized so extensively.
Now seeing Jiang Yao stepping into the half-step Divinity Transformation Realm cultivation, and Jiang Yao himself admitting the enhancement in his strength related to the Genetic Liquid Medicine, Wan Daorong found it difficult not to believe.
Ling Shuanghua, Yan Wuji, and other Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses in the Southern Domain were also deeply moved, having previously speculated Jiang Yao’s transformation might be related to the Genetic Liquid Medicine. Now, with Jiang Yao’s own admission, they were even more determined to obtain the Genetic Liquid Medicine.
What cultivator wouldn’t want higher Spirit Root Talent, who wouldn’t want to further strengthen themselves?
"Aside from disciple, my Lingxiao Sect has also seen several individuals with improved Spirit Root Talent due to the Genetic Liquid Medicine, and ordinary people without Spirit Roots have developed Spirit Root Talent, allowing them to cultivate." Jiang Yao added.
Upon these words, the whole room erupted.
Though the forces of the Southern Domain had heard of it, confirmation had not been secured.
Jiang Yao’s verbal confirmation carried extraordinary significance.
Linglong couldn’t help but add: "Dis... disciple can testify, the Genetic Liquid Medicine studied by the Earth Cultivation World is indeed miraculous."
Behind the Lingxiao Sect group, Ye Wuya’s expression fluctuated several times before lowering his head silently.
He understood Linglong’s decision but inwardly disapproved.
He would never forget the Earth Cultivation World’s kindness towards him.
But given the current situation, as a mere early-stage Core Formation disciple, he had no voice.
Wan Daorong suppressed his internal shock, looked at Li Shuya and Wang Zudao, and asked: "Both of you went with Primordial Spirit Avatars and couldn’t suppress them?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Li Shuya nodded: "Yes, and not only that, our Primordial Spirit Avatars were also killed by that little thief. I was about to go again. Unfortunately, the constraints on the transmission channel’s realm laws are too strong; even with three parts of my Primordial Spirit Avatar residing in Foundation Establishment disciples, it can still be detected by them."
Wan Daorong’s gaze sharpened, looking at the transmission channel: "Then expand it."
Zhao Yunzhi’s expression shifted: "Brother Wan, we’ve been causing too much commotion here recently, and expanding this transmission channel will likely require more time. If this matter becomes known to all, it might not be favorable for us."
Upon hearing this, Wan Daorong slightly frowned, nodded, and asked: "How do you propose to resolve this predicament?"
