All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes-Chapter 953 - 236: Huai Xu Tianyuan Win-Win (1/3)

[Resources from other worlds? If you mean the small cave heavens around Huai Xu, An Jing, that’s not possible]

Cheng Guang Ancient Ancestor is still in a rejuvenated state, handsome and elegant, seemingly only half a generation older than An Jing. He instinctively wanted to stroke his beard but, finding none, shook his head: [The power of Huai Xu’s Heavenly Dao encompasses a vast range. Not to mention the small cave worlds nearby, even the far-off Great Void falls within its realm of influence. In the past, some like Pure Yang Lingxiao tried to distance themselves from Huai Xu and prolong their lives using the Immortal Path, but the result was complete Immortal Fall.]

[Even someone like your master Mingguang Chen, a Martial Artist now in the extremely distant and Huai Xu-disenfranchised Otherworld Great Realm, if he were to die, the formation realm transformed from his fallen true body would eventually drift back to Huai Xu with causality, albeit over a long period, without exception.]

Lord Cheng Guang spoke with certainty, as if he had witnessed many instances, suggesting he might have secretly attempted various methods himself but without success.

[In essence, Feather Transformation Dao is part of the Immortal Path. As long as one practices cultivation, they are marked by Huai Xu’s Heavenly Dao. Perhaps using materials from another world might break some shackles, but it is extremely difficult.]

Xiyi Heavenly Monarch shook his head with a smile, while Chenyinzi seemed rather regretful and said, "Jing’er, you may have crafted the Candle Dragon Battle Armor from interdimensional divine materials to enable Xiyi’s breakthrough, but I fear the cost is tremendous, and even you cannot afford many repetitions."

"Even if there’s some left, instead of using it to save those of us who should have departed, why not use it on yourself?"

Though unfamiliar with the Endless Heavens, Chenyinzi could still surmise that An Jing’s once ’wealthy’ resources have now been exhausted.

And indeed, the Candle Dragon Battle Armor and two Heavenly Mirror Shards had consumed millions of merit. Although a small portion remained, which would be considered a large sum for a normal Endless Heavens Traveler, it was nothing compared to the once-titanic resources of a leading magnate.

"Indeed."

An Jing understood, yet he had other plans: "But, dear elders, my actual proposal is this: If I have a way to lead you seniors to an extremely distant Otherworld, where you can personally obtain the materials, and then return to Huai Xu to breakthrough the Feather Transformation Dao with these Otherworld materials, could this be feasible?"

"However, during this time, some rest and conservation might be necessary, requiring Cheng Guang Ancient Ancestor and Grandmaster to reduce consumption and enter slumber to extend lifespan slightly longer; mainly relying on Xiyi Granduncle’s efforts."

As this possibility was raised, the three Bright Mirror Sect Heavenly Monarchs exchanged glances and fell into contemplation.

[This...]

After a while, Cheng Guang pondered: [Is it not feasible?]

"Indeed...If this is truly the case, Huai Xu’s Heavenly Dao probably wouldn’t restrict anything. While extending lifespan might be difficult, at least Cheng Guang Ancient Ancestor could live for another hundred years, awaiting possibilities for Lingxiao. And I, too, could smoothly advance to become a normal Heavenly Monarch and extend my lifespan by three thousand years, just like the Eldest Senior."

Chenyinzi slowly added, having realized the Otherworld An Jing referred to wasn’t the Endless Heavens but truly an extremely distant, Huai Xu-disenfranchised Otherworld: "But if that’s the case, the Heavenly Dao of a foreign land might have some concerns."

Saying they would have some concerns might be an understatement. From An Jing’s perspective, under the Tianyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao, the human clan had a total of four Lingxiao Primordial Spirits, some twenty to thirty Pure Yang Dao Embryos, plus the related Daoist Soldier foundation, more or less equivalent to a strong Heavenly Ancestor Sect. Viewed individually, they represented four exceedingly strong Upper Gates, and for their Bright Mirror Sect, even a single group would be a formidable entity and exceptionally hard to confront.

However, from a worldly perspective, the Tianyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao has become extremely weak, nearly reaching its limits. It’s tremendously challenging not just to have an additional Primordial Spirit, but even to add a single Dao Embryo, as resources are utterly insufficient.

If the Bright Mirror Sect were to cross worlds to seize resources from the Tianyuan Realm’s human clan, the Tianyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao would surely react, hurling Heavenly Tribulations without restraint.

But therein lies the problem.

"The Otherworld I mentioned is teeming with demons and evil spirits. If we eliminate these demons and purify the demon aura, I believe the Tianyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao would not mind."

An Jing laughed heartily, using the Divine Soul Chip to forward the relevant information of the Tianyuan Realm to Xiyi Heavenly Monarch—since there are already chips in the battle armor, they can naturally receive information.

In just a moment, Xiyi Heavenly Monarch’s expression turned solemn as he perused all the information An Jing had obtained for free from the web, and then he smiled with delight: [To think it’s so! Although it seems somewhat unethical, the human clan in this realm is so weak and declining. For us, it’s indeed a great situation!]

[Yes, indeed, as you said, An Jing, if we can proceed to this world to eliminate demons and obtain resources, not only would Huai Xu’s Heavenly Dao be satisfied, but the Tianyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao would also agree]

"Indeed." An Jing nodded, expressing his seriousness: "This is indeed a win-win strategy!"

Between worlds, and between the world and cultivators, it is typically a zero-sum game where one side loses while the other gains. For cultivators of the Huai Xu Realm to extend their lifespan, they must exhaust the force of the heavens and earth, and even when traveling to other worlds, they are just shifting this depletion elsewhere.

According to the demons’ view, as long as there’s a losing side, it means they win.

So, is there a way that could result in no losing side, or at least only the demons losing?

Certainly, there is.

The strength of the Tianyuan Realm is insufficient to eliminate demons, unable to return the heavenly resources occupied by these monsters. Hence, it requires visitors from other worlds to slay the monsters.

Although the resources on the demons’ bodies are taken, the land they occupied can’t be moved. The spirit veins and new land, which allows the human clan to thrive and live, left after the demons are vanquished, are the most crucial... For the inhabitants of Huai Xu Heaven and Earth, Tianyuan World, and the warriors of the Bright Mirror Sect, it’s a win for them all!

The only ones losing are the demons!

"This is the essence of interdimensional trade."

An Jing mused to himself, while Xiyi had already begun to eagerly converse with Cheng Guang Chen Yinzi, even preparing to hold a small meeting related to demon-slaying and demonic-purification; all sect matters were handed over to An Jing, Ye Po, and Universal Brightness to handle.

Before departing, Chenyinzi called An Jing to his side, speaking with earnest concern: "Jing’er, although you understand everything, I still want to remind you... Sometimes, we Martial Artists should place more emphasis on our own cultivation."

"The Candle Dragon Battle Armor materials and Heavenly Fragment you obtained for the sect are incredibly valuable, it can be said that Bright Mirror Sect’s emergence from an inevitable demise to its current victorious state is all thanks to you."

"But these things, used on yourself, might suffice for you to reach Pure Yang, perhaps even achieve Lingxiao!"

"With the talent of your Heavenly Mandate, along with these unrestricted resources, achieving Lingxiao might be inevitable. In such a case, the sect could still be revitalized, perhaps even more securely."
