Chapter 813 - On the Verge of Battle
It would be better if he could pass the three intermediate calamities quickly and enter the Sixth Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. The best scenario would be if he could pass a great calamity and enter the Seventh Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage.
If he could achieve the Seventh Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, he would not have any pressure when facing Xin Tianwen head-on.
However, the time was too tight. Without ten years, he could not reach the Seventh Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. This would be empty-thinking.
The Supreme Dao Stage was an accumulating process, so it was impossible to reach instant success. Qin Wushuang was well aware of this point.
On his path of training he already experienced many short-cuts. However, that was based on the spiritual light baptism he went through and the fact that he possessed exceptional talent, bloodline, and other situational aspects.
Currently, although he was still incredibly exceptional and possessed superior factors in all different aspects after entering the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, certainly he would not reduce that burst of frantic momentum in terms of training progress.
Naturally, it would be impossible to level up within the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage at a monstrous speed as he did through the Spiritual Martial Force Stage and the Void Martial Stage.
Now, Qin Wushuang was confident to keep upgrading through those two secret techniques. Under repeated practice, Qin Wushuang already completely comprehended the wood, gold, and fire attributes for the Great Five Attributes Reincarnation Seal. He also practiced the first stage of the hand seals to perfection.
Everything was fine except the small defect with the earth and water attributes. Since he was not successful in congealing the Supreme Dao essence and lacked an opportunity, he always felt that the Five Attributes Reincarnation Seal lacked something.
Even if he could not unleash the super power from the seal, the attack power from individual attributes would be considerably impressive.
If he were to maximize the power of the Great Five Attributes Reincarnation Seal, of course he must be equipped with all five attributes. One would need to have the ability to unleash and draw upon the five Supreme Dao powers at will along with perfect coordination.
Currently, Qin Wushuang had only grasped three of them. Therefore, the most urgent thing for him to do was to congeal the Supreme Dao essence of the water and earth attributes.
It was not difficult to congeal Supreme Dao essences. The difficult part was how to search for the spiritual core essence. For example, it would be things like the Scarlet Fire, Hibiscus Wood, or Seven Jewel Golden Tree.
“Thinking of the five attributes, the north signifies water. Usually, the spiritual origin of the water spiritual core are found in the Extreme North Snow Zone.
It would not be easy to come in contact with the Extreme North Snow Zone.
For that Nine Palace Return One Sword Formation, following with the upgrade of his strength, Qin Wushuang also began to cultivate those Golem Puppets and to train their skills in combat.
Spurred by these Golem Puppets, this Nine Palace Return One Sword Formation kept unleashing much more power and better success.
Nine puppets formed into one type of Supreme Dao power with nine different divine skills. It formed into a single super attack wave as nine attacks waves merged into one.
At the human countries, naturally Qin Wushuang could not control this Nine Palace Return One Sword Formation. He could also not unleash the maximum power of this extreme sword move.
Each time when he trained these two secret techniques, Qin Wushuang thought up every possible method to acquire assistance and aid.
On this day, Qin Wushuang was just comprehending the second seal stage of the Great Five Attributes Reincarnation Seal when all of a sudden, there came violent movements from the communication jade plate.
Qin Wushuang’s heart thumped as if he realized something.
Indeed, it was the spiritual perception movement from the Qin headquarters. Qin Yunran worked hard to speak with a calm tone, “Wushuang, three months, at most three months. Xin Tianwen has exerted all of his power from his divine soul to fight the Qin Clan, he’s even risking injuring his divine soul. The Head Chief is on the verge of exhausting all of his strength, and is already on the verge of collapsing. Are you guys alright? Remember, regardless of what happens to the Qin Clan, you must stay calm, you must work hard to survive. Work hard...”
All of a sudden, it seemed as something pulled Qin Wushuang’s heart.
“Exhausted all of his strength?” Qin Wushuang’s heart bled. “Finally, we’ve reached this desperate stage?”
Qin Wushuang also felt extremely helpless. This day arrived way ahead of his expectations. Only less than half of the three years he needed had passed.
At most, he would have three months. In other words, the Head Chief was in imminent danger. Even if he were to forcefully handle it, he could not get through the last three months.
This could be said as a forecast towards destruction.
If the Head Chief reached the end of the line, then the Qin Clan truly reached a moment of desperation where he could get tossed by rain and wind. They could fall into destruction at any moment.
“Three months... Only three months?” Strangely, Qin Wushuang did not panic, but he became much calmer. Now, all of the things he counted on died.
At least, he would not carry the hope to reach a satisfactory outcome from three years of solitary training.
Now, there was only reality placed before him. With a dire and difficult situation in front of him, he must find a solution and a way to figure things out.
Qin Wushuang knew that this time, the crisis was completely different than any of the ones in the past.
This time, the crisis that the Qin Clan was facing was a true corner. It would be impossible for the mysterious Head Chief to hold any other trump cards.
To say it bluntly, if the Qin Clan had any trump cards or some advantageous factors to turn defeat into victory, it would only be Qin Wushuang. He was all the hope they had left.
“Xin Tianwen would not hesitate to injure his divine soul to annihilate the Qin Clan, this is our chance!” An impulsive yet vile thought flashed across Qin Wushuang’s mind.
He returned to the mountain cave of the Second Loop that was beneath the Great Cang Mountain and he said to Qin Taichong and Qin Shaohong, “Two Senior Brothers, the situation for the Qin Clan is getting tougher. We must stop our three years of hard training ahead of time.”
“What?” Both Qin Taichong and Qin Shaohong’s heart thumped. At this moment, vividly they realized that something was wrong as Qin Wushuang said this with such a hurried tone.
“Xin Tianwen exploded his divine soul to urge the Nirvana Heavenly Plow, the Head Chief exhausted all of his power and he can no longer continue. At most, the mountain protecting spiritual ley lines can hold on for three months!”
It was approaching a crisis.
Qin Taichong and Qin Shaohong exchanged a glance as their eyes showed fear. Immediately after, the expression of these two turned grave as a determined expression emerged on their faces through mutual understanding.
“Junior Brother Wushuang, at the most crucial moments of survival, we must not ignore the Qin Clan. Even if we were to succeed in our training, if the foundation of the Qin Clan no longer exists, how could we have any face to keep living on in the world?” Qin Taichong’s burst of hot blood was also boiling. He even wanted to rush before the Aspiring Throne Mountain, which was ten thousand miles away, to make war with his enemies.
“Senior Brother is right. It’s important to keep the bloodline and pass down our inheritance. However, how can we remain calm and steady if we are to watch the Aspiring Throne Mountain get breached and everyone slaughtered? Junior Brother Wushuang, could we truly have no other strategies?”
The blood and vital breath of these two surged. For the time, they were also overwhelmed by emotions.
Qin Wushuang could feel the wild presence of these two and could also completely understand the emotions of how these two wanted to render services and to repay kindness to their people.
However, to work for the Qin Clan and to save the clan from the crisis could not be like a moth flying into the fire. Instead, they must pay particular attention to their strategy.
If they did not have a strategy, unquestionably they would have walked right into the other party’s tray if the three of them went to fight back. The enemy could have just set up an inescapable net and are waiting for them to fall into.
As long as they entered this pouch, the mouth of the pouch would get tightened directly and they would get captured. By that time, the enemy could just make up some high-sounding reasons and use the authority of the Heavenly Emperor Gate to trial them. From beginning to end, it would be a solo performance of the Heavenly Emperor Gate. They would die for sure.
Naturally, they must not let the Heavenly Emperor Gate count their chickens before they are hatched.
Qin Wushuang looked at the fervent look of these two Senior brothers and said, “Two Senior Brothers, as the Qin Clan encounters such destiny, it’s impossible for us to sit and ignore. Even if we are to get thrown into battle, we must also emphasize a strategy. Or else, with our power, there will be a limit of how much we can change the tide.”
“Junior Brother Wushuang, you are smart, just tell us the ideas you have. Me and Shaohong will just be two spears. Wherever you say to go, we will go.” Naturally, Qin Taichong possessed great imposing manner for he would advance courageously.
“Two Senior Brothers, to fight with force would be useless even if we had three extra people. I think the most unreliable people of the Heavenly Emperor party should be those three neutral sects. Thus, once we return to the Xuan Yuan Mound, we must put the breakthrough point on the great standpoint of disintegrating the Heavenly Emperor party. They never had a stable foundation. Half of the reason that those three major sects participated was because they were threatened. They also want to get whatever benefits from the Heavenly Emperor that they can.”
Certainly there will be a crack in such unfair alliance. This unstable foundation could give Qin Wushuang many opportunities!
“Senior Brothers, please look. This is a general map of the Xuan Yuan Mound. That Thousand Feather Sect, Hundred Lane Clan, and Mysterious Reform Gate are all within the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. However, they are in different locations. Now, I am afraid it’s hard to solve the crisis when we head to the Aspiring Throne Mountain directly. We should attack those three neutral sects in the direction where they hold weakness or have things they hold dearly. We shall use bluffing to intimidate those three sects and forcefully make them back out. At least, we must make them go on bad terms. As soon as the seedling of internal strife is planted, certainly it will keep spreading and start a prairie fire.”
Indeed, Qin Wushuang’s suggestion sounded superior. Qin Taichong nodded thoughtfully. “Yes, the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect are sworn enemies with our Qin Clan. Certainly they will go to the end of it. They have formed a formidable fortress with the Heavenly Emperor Gate. They will exist as long as the alliance exists. Without the alliance, how could they stay in one piece? Therefore, they must be determined to be in the same pants as the Xin Clan.”
“Six alliances turn into three. Don’t look at how it might be a minor change. It would be unpredictable of how it would strike the morale of the Heavenly Emperor Gate. The most crucial part is the authoritative figure the Heavenly Emperor Gate holds at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain will be completely turned. To the Qin Clan, this is definitely the best chance to bounce back.”
The strategy was already established. The first stop would not be to attack the Aspiring Throne Mountain Heavenly Emperor camp. Instead, they would divide into three teams and use a surprising method to attack the den of those three major sects.
Naturally, this attack emphasized timing. The first wave would be a test round. The goal was to establish a warning.
If the first wave attack is not effective, the second wave shall be completely different. Qin Wushuang would use a lightning method to strike hard on one of the sects and make them pay the price that they would never be able to make up.
As soon as the lightning and thunder move finished, it would be strange if those three neutral sects were to not submit!
