Chapter 658 - 758: They Really Dare
The next step is to see if the Shan Sect can share this Evil-vanquishing Daffodil, then cultivate and produce many smaller Evil-vanquishing Daffodils.
However, this Evil-vanquishing Daffodil is the Shan Sect's cherished sect flower, much like the Five-colored Divine Sparrow of the Taichu Sect.
If the Taichu Sect were asked to lend out their Five-colored Divine Sparrow to other sects, and then have it lay eggs with other demon beasts, they probably wouldn't agree. But if it truly came to the brink of world destruction, with emotional persuasion and logical reasoning, the Taichu Sect might still lend the Five-colored Divine Sparrow. After all, what use is the sparrow if the world ceases to exist?
At such a crisis moment, it's possible to persuade the Shan Sect people.
However, it's still uncertain how severe this crisis is. Judging from the people sent by this organization, it seems incomparable to five hundred years ago. Back then, it was all about raw power, using sheer strength to dominate the immortal world, creating waves. But this time, it seems like they're resorting to sinister tactics, quite weak, yet troublesome.
Though troublesome, as long as we understand their characteristics, many deaths can be avoided. Their strength is indeed quite poor.
This time, their invading strength peaks at the mid-hundred tides level, with the lowest at the fourth layer of the ten thousand mysteries, being able to fly is their standard.
Five hundred years ago, the weakest was the Thousand Source Realm, and even then it was high-level Thousand Source. Anything less was unheard of. That's why the realists of the time felt this organization has become very weak over the centuries. It's just their sinister methods that have caused such losses for the Taichu Sect. However, the realists have absolute confidence; if those organizations invade the Taichu Sect again, while they may struggle, the disciples of the Taichu Sect will not suffer as heavily as they do today.
But as of now, there's still no solution. The Power of Purification is a major hurdle, impassable. If they could overcome it, not to mention the invaders, even the realists of the Taichu Sect feel they could obliterate that organization. Currently, the organization feels incredibly weak, so weak they'd turn to dust with a mere touch. If they couldn't resurrect, the disciples of the Taichu Sect alone could eliminate them since those fallen disciples were killed after defeating the enemy and awaiting their revival.
"Sect Leader Brother, why don't you discuss with the Shan Sect about sharing that Evil-vanquishing Daffodil; otherwise, with our current situation, we can't truly harm that organization. Without the Evil-vanquishing Daffodil, we are truly powerless. Should we leave dealing with that organization to only the Shan Sect? If they attack other sects, can the Shan Sect handle it? Moreover, can we just stand by and watch?" Yuan Chu firmly said to Taichu Sect Leader. After all, no one wants to just stand by at such a time, and merely helping would be in vain, potentially even getting slain during a futile attempt.
Upon hearing Yuan Chu's words, the Taichu Sect Leader paused for a moment then spoke: "This still depends on the Shan Sect. After all, discussing the Evil-vanquishing Daffodil with them at such a time is inappropriate. I think they should recognize the current situation. Although the organization is somewhat weak, the crisis affects the whole cultivation world, no one can remain uninvolved. I believe the Shan Sect will do what we all expect."
Everyone fell silent after hearing the Taichu Sect Leader's words. After all, it's extremely difficult to ask another sect for their treasured asset. Yet, the situation is extremely exceptional. If it isn't shared, only the Shan Sect can effectively harm the enemy, tiring them out, making them the organization's main target, increasing their casualty rate. If the Shan Sect shares the Evil-vanquishing Daffodil, all sects would have access, thereby sharing the risk and casualty rate among them, preventing major losses for the Shan Sect.
Still, it's a tricky situation as it is their treasure. Who would willingly hand over their treasure to other sects?
Even if it were the Taichu Sect, without special circumstances and reasons, they would never casually lend their treasure to another sect. Some treasures may even never be handed over, even if the entire sect were annihilated. Some sect leaders might be open-minded, disregarding ancestral rules, but others take them seriously. After all, these rules ensure they can pass down the role of sect leader to successors.
What does this mean? If they don't adhere to ancestral rules, today one sect borrows a Magical Treasure, tomorrow another borrows one, and eventually, they'll run out of treasures. How then would they resist foreign enemies?
At this moment of indecision, the Taichu Sect Leader suddenly shuddered. Then he addressed everyone: "I've just received the latest message from Shan Sect Leader Fu Yu. He said he is willing to share the Evil-vanquishing Daffodil with all sects within the Avengers Alliance. Naturally, after this calamity is over, they will reclaim all the Evil-vanquishing Daffodils."
"What? The Shan Sect is willing to lend it?"
"But we haven't even asked yet?"
"Truly, the Shan Sect lives up to its name, its enlightenment is remarkable."
"It seems this time, this organization will be easier to eradicate than five hundred years ago."
Upon hearing the Taichu Sect Leader's announcement, everyone began to discuss eagerly and breathed a sigh of relief. If the Evil-vanquishing Daffodil is available for lending, all their worries dissipate. They can use this daffodil to attack the enemy, truly inflicting damage.
"Sect Leader Brother, why do you think the Shan Sect suddenly agreed to lend the Evil-vanquishing Daffodil? We haven't even asked yet?" Yuan Chu queried the Taichu Sect Leader with curiosity, since if it were the Taichu Sect, they would surely deliberate before deciding whether to lend their treasure.
