Chapter 854: Going to the Tempest Ocean Realm
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu Xuan looked at Li Shou. It didn’t matter whether or not Li Shou was here; Lu Xuan would’ve always seen Xuanhao Sect as an enemy no matter what.
The Xuanhuo Sect was so ambitious that they had the strength to easily overwhelm the entire Tempest Ocean Realm.
The sect master of the Xuanhuo Sect was already at the peak of the Consolidation Realm. It was difficult to find an opponent that could rival him within the Tempest Ocean Realm.
In his previous life, the Xuanhuo Sect wanted to conquer Earth and turn it into both a resource supply and a training base for cultivating descendants.
If this happened, Earth wouldn’t be just gone for good. The Xuanhuo Sect would also be able to improve its strength by leaps and bounds.
There were originally two Consolidation Realm masters that were already stronger than the other three Great Holy Lands. If there was once again the support of a resurgent medium-cla.s.s world like Earth, then the increase in strength would’ve probably gone as fast as riding a rocket.
Although the medium-cla.s.s world known as Earth appeared very weak compared to the entire Tempest Ocean Realm, it was still an authentic medium-cla.s.s world. Once in control of a completely medium-cla.s.s world, the growth in strength of an organization would be an immediate result.
With Earth serving as a base for the organization, sweeping across the entire Tempest Ocean Realm and finally ruling over it would no longer be impossible.
After all, an organization needed to have a fair enough amount of both resources and talents on them if it wanted to grow.
That second requirement was especially important to keep in mind; in the cultivation world, ordinary people wouldn’t have been particularly useful.
Even if the population is very large, for an organization, it is still not as important as having a single genius.
If it was enough to just have more people, then what would’ve been the point of cultivation? Just growing more people would be enough.
The earth was precisely a perfect backup base!
In the process of continually recovering spirit qi, various kinds of cultivation treasures were constantly emerging. Furthermore, countless geniuses have awakened alongside it. People from other worlds couldn’t imagine how lucky such geniuses were.
This was why the Xuanhuo Sect wanted to control Earth. He had this plan in his previous life. In this life, Lu Xuan didn’t believe that the Xuanhuo Sect had let go of such a good opportunity.
However, that was only in his previous life. In this life, Lu Xuan never doubted that the Xuanhuo Sect would’ve let go of such a good opportunity.
This was why in his previous life, other Consolidation Realm masters would’ve secretly gone to prevent the Xuanhuo Sect from completely controlling the earth, even going as far as to send people down to Earth to fight with the Xuanhuo sect over control of the world.
This finally led to the Xuanhuo Sect failing to completely control Earth, which gave Lu Xuan the chance to grow.
Otherwise, Lu Xuan, an existence who was not within the Xuanhuo Sect’s system, nor a cultivator raised from childhood by the Xuanhuo Sect, would definitely have been ruthlessly wiped out by the Xuanhuo Sect.
Therefore, it didn’t matter what Lu Xuan thought. The Xuanhuo Sect would’ve always been an enemy to him!
This was not because of any personal enmity, but simply due to a conflict of interest!
Unless Lu Xuan was willing to let the Xuanhao Sect have complete control over Earth as their reserve base, the two sides would’ve inevitably clashed at some point.
Still, Lu Xuan also knew that if he wanted the world to level up, the best way was to put the whole world under the control of a single ent.i.ty. Only by taking control over all the resources and talents would there be the possibility of further growth.
Lu Xuan had formed the Earth Federation with this in mind. After Lu Xuan had formed the Earth Federation, all of the world’s resources and talents would’ve all been available for the Earth Federation to use.
Moreover, the Earth Federation could’ve fully promoted the cultivation of the whole population. Over just a few decades, Earth had progressed from a newly revived lower-cla.s.s world to a medium-cla.s.s world.
This type of progress speed was astounding!
Although Earth itself originally had a strong base, it was only a matter of time before it recovered into a medium-cla.s.s world. There was no doubt that the Earth Federation would’ve had some role in this.
In his previous life, Earth had achieved the realm of a medium-cla.s.s world only after a few decades, much further behind compared to this world.
In other words, Lu Xuan’s existence had greatly affected the fate of the entire world and attracted the attention of the Tempest Ocean Realm in advance.
Although he knew that it was a great boon for the Tempest Ocean Realm if they could be unified, Lu Xuan knew that it was an extinction-level threat. Naturally, he refused to let such a situation occur.
Lu Xuan flatly said, “Descend now if you think you can. Otherwise, there’s no point in talking about it anymore!”
“What arrogance!”
Li Shou looked at Lu Xuan, and there was surprisingly a bit of appreciation in his eyes.
He didn’t take Lu Xuan’s abilities into consideration. What did it matter if he had Three Flowers at One’s Prominence? Three Flowers at One’s Prominence was a mere joke to a true Consolidation Realm master.
That was why he could look down on Lu Xuan from above and see everything that he had done.
Even he had no choice but to admit that Lu Xuan was an amazing and brilliant genius.
At least, with the number of years he had cultivated, he had never encountered an existence that was on the same level as Lu Xuan.
Such a person was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime hero.
Even so, the killing intent in his heart grew stronger.
The more stellar Lu Xuan’s performance was, the stronger his thoughts of killing Lu Xuan became.
This kind of person was not allowed to be left alone. Otherwise, he would’ve inevitably become an obstacle in their quest for world domination over Earth.
Lu Xuan casually said, “Is that so?”
Li Shou smiled and said, “What a shame. Leave your good head on your neck first. When the day arrives, it will be your execution date. Feel free to fear to your heart’s content until then!”
Li Shou gave Lu Xuan one final glance and immediately left the earth on his evasive light.
He knew that it was not yet the day he would descend. The eventual day when he would arrive would be the time of Lu Xuan’s death.
He also knew that he didn’t have to wait too long for this day to come.
Lu Xuan watched as Li Shou left. He knew that Li Shou was genuinely planning to kill him, but he didn’t take it to heart. When he had first set foot on this road, he had already thought of everything.
Lu Xuan also returned to the Yunxuan Villa and said, “I plan to leave the earth and head to the Tempest Ocean Realm!”
Liu Wanrong immediately argued, “What? To the Tempest Ocean Realm? You can’t, it’s too dangerous!”
She knew that in the Tempest Ocean Realm, there were the Four Great Holy Lands and the Five Consolidations. She knew that Lu Xuan wouldn’t stand a chance against any one of them.
Besides, one of the Consolidation Realm masters from the Five Consolidations had just arrived. They could all feel the spiritual pressure emanating from outer s.p.a.ce.
One could imagine how much psychological pressure it caused her.
Yun Linger quickly added, “That’s right. It’s too dangerous, Master! Those people have always been waiting for you, Master. Once you appear, they will definitely not let you go!”
Lu Xuan shook his head, looked at the two of them, and said, “Time won’t wait for us. Things are much more urgent than I thought. I can only solve the current crisis on Earth by going to the Tempest Ocean Realm!”
