Chapter 1382: How can there be immortality on the road to becoming an immortal?
All six clan leaders were injured by this slap. They quickly stepped back to avoid the power of this claw. When this claw hit the ground, the entire ground cracked and a large pit appeared.
"Master!"
The disciples behind him rushed forward to catch their injured master.
At this time, the leaders of the six major sects stared at the huge monster in front of them with an expression of disbelief on their faces.
"How could this happen? Didn't this monster die with the brothers more than 2,000 years ago? How is it still alive? How can it still do evil here?!"
More than two thousand years ago, didn’t the most powerful and talented person of that time, who should have inherited the position of the leader and elder of the seven major sects, die together with this giant monster?
The seven major sects paid a heavy price to deal with this monster, which once led to a talent shortage.
But even so, this monster has not been killed yet?
After finally getting through that difficult period, their next generation of talents finally grew up and were about to be able to stand on their own, but this monster unexpectedly appeared again!
Is it God's will that their seven major sects will be destroyed?
At this time, the monster missed its first strike with its claws, and quickly raised its claws a second time towards where they were crowded.
"Watch out! Get out of the way!"
After a flurry of dodging, all the disciples from the six major sects moved away. Some of those with less strength were injured, but fortunately no one was killed.
But this is just the beginning, not the end. As long as they continue to be locked up here, they will eventually collapse.
"We can't go on like this!" The leader of the Chiyan Sect said anxiously, "After more than two thousand years, this monster is much stronger than before. We must find a way to leave here, otherwise we will all die!"
“There’s no way to send out messages, no way to send out signal bombs, and no way to ask for help. If we can invite the ancestors who have transcended the tribulation, maybe we still have a chance to defeat it.” Sect Leader Yun Yang frowned.
"Then split up into two groups. Send some of your disciples to charge at the gate, and the other disciples will be responsible for resisting and attacking the monster, buying time for the disciples who are charging at the gate."
After the Tianding Sect Master finished speaking, he immediately arranged for his chief disciple, Ji Haotian, who was the strongest in the late Mahayana stage, to lead the team. He assigned the five talented disciples, including Ji Haokong, to rush to the gate of the courtyard. The remaining disciples and all the elders were led by him to resist the monster.
Upon hearing this arrangement, Ji Haotian and his disciples widened their eyes and shook their heads in opposition immediately.
"Master, the task of rushing through the gate can be handed over to other disciples. I am willing to accompany you to fight this monster!"
"Me too!"
"And me!"
Seeing the five most talented disciples selected by him, Sect Leader Tianding frowned and looked stern.
"I'm not dead yet, and you want to rebel? How dare you question my arrangements? If you refuse to obey orders at this moment, I don't mind clearing the door right now!"
The ruthlessness of Sect Master Tianding frightened the five disciples.
They knew the master's intention in making such arrangements. Facing this trap that had been set for a long time and facing this monster that even his fellow disciples who were more talented than him in the past had failed to subdue, he actually did not have much confidence.
He was determined to stop the monster even at the cost of his life. He just wanted to buy everyone more time. As long as these most talented disciples of theirs could escape, the Tianding Sect would still have a future.
If they all died here, the Tianding Sect would really be doomed.
Intellectually, they know it's the right thing to do, but they have a really hard time accepting it.
Obviously, they are the strongest disciples, who have the most resources and the best instruction, but at the critical moment, their master and other disciples have to risk their lives to buy time for them so that they can escape.
If when catastrophe strikes, they are not at the forefront but instead flee to the back, then what is the point of their years of hard training, taking away so many resources, and cultivating such powerful strength?
"Time waits for no one, all of you must obey my orders, or I will kill you all first!"
Seeing that they didn't move, the leader of Tianding Sect got really angry.
He knew how slim his chances of survival were this time, and he also knew that the stability of the immortal world was truly over.
Back then, his senior brothers and sisters had already sacrificed themselves for the sake of the immortal world. He had enjoyed the position of the sect leader for so many years, and it was time for him to take his turn.
Perhaps there has never been peace in this world, but they were all deceived by the temporary comfort, otherwise how could the Qingxuan Sect, which was so powerful in the past, be destroyed?
They had seen Master angry and cruel, but they had never seen Master so anxious. He had remained calm even when faced with a huge crisis, but today he finally lost his composure.
"Go rush the door! Try to break it open in the shortest possible time. The faster we go, the fewer casualties there will be. Don't hesitate!" After Ji Haokong shouted, he was the first to turn around and rush towards the courtyard gate.
As soon as he left, the five disciples who were assigned to do so also rushed over.
After the Tianding Sect made arrangements, the remaining five major sects also made decisions one after another, which were exactly the same as the decision made by the Sect Master of Tianding.
Because they also knew that this time the situation would be more disastrous than safe. Their blind arrogance had already caused them many losses, and they could not let everything in the sect be destroyed in their hands.
They looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.
Back then, their more powerful peers had failed to defeat this monster. If they could defeat it this time, would that mean they weren't that bad after all? Would they have lived up to their trust and fulfilled their mission?
If they still cannot survive and die here, they will just consider it as a contribution to the peace and stability of the upper immortal world, to the disciples who come after them, and to the ancestors above them.
How can there be no immortals on the road to becoming an immortal?
Moreover, after being defeated again and again at the hands of the Qingxuan Sect, they finally woke up from their dream of controlling everything.
Although they have been in high positions for many years, they have never been overlords, and the affairs of this world have never been under their control. They just have been lucky for many years and have encountered a time when the world of immortal cultivation is peaceful.
If they had such awareness when the Wuyou Tree incident happened, they would not have thought that they could easily control these disciples with terrifying talents and forcibly control and deal with them with an attitude of absolute superiority.
If they had less hegemonic mentality and more humility, they might not have reached the point they are in today.
After all, they were blinded by the high positions they held in recent years and forgot how cruel the path to becoming an immortal is.
Even though they had many emotions in their hearts, their eyes became firm when facing the monster. Holding long swords, they rushed towards the monster without fear of death.
Seeing the six major sects busy in the battle, the Yuanwu Sect Leader who was sitting at the center of the formation couldn't help but have red eyes, and tears flowed from his sunken eye sockets.
They could still pray for a chance to survive, and under his leadership, all of his disciples of Yuan Wuzong offered sacrifices to the heaven.
Over the years, he has hated, complained, worried, fought and worked hard, but in the end, he took every wrong step.
