Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 1146 - 692: Demon Extermination

The winds rose and clouds surged, the hearts of people unpredictable.

At the Wandao School, numerous Academy Monks gathered, all of whom were the upper echelon. Apart from those stationed at various locations, the rest were all present here. There were over a thousand, with ninety percent being Tribulation Realm Void Immortals and the remaining nearly a hundred being True Immortals, which constituted the accumulation of governance for ten thousand years.

When the time comes, heaven and earth work together; when luck leaves, heroes have no freedom. The Wandao School has governed for tens of thousands of years, favored by heaven and earth, supported by the hearts of the people, with intense Qi Fortune and boundless merit. This allowed the Academy Monks’ cultivation to progress rapidly, even natural disasters and inner demons were far less than ordinary Cultivators.

Additionally, with methodical nurturing, production through Tao, the help of skill characteristics, abundant resources, and Xu Yang, the Taoist Master, constantly preaching, educating disciples, and answering doubts, the progress of the Academy Monks could be imagined. Over tens of thousands of years, thousands of Calamity Immortals and nearly a hundred True Immortals were a logical outcome.

This was why there was continuous conflict among the various Divine Systems and Tao Lineages. This was a struggle for devotees and also a struggle for Qi Fortune, enough to determine the rise and fall of a Tao Lineage and even a large Divine System.

Historical instances of the Great Prosperity of Taoism, the Great Expansion of Buddhism, or Confucianism being revered alone were results of this struggle for Qi Fortune. Behind historical splendor lay a mix of overt and covert conflicts among Immortals, Buddhas, and Divine Beings, a game of strategic moves; the implications, entanglements, and calculations were beyond what ordinary humans on the chessboard could imagine.

Although the Wandao School had not experienced this division before, its path was paved with corpses, and now it had evolved to an "everyone for themselves" situation. Earth Immortals returned, watching with covetous eyes, dark clouds pressing down, war threatening life.

Now that the Academy Monks were all gathered, discussing this matter was indeed stirring up intense emotions.

"If he seeks war, then we shall give him war!"

"So what if they are Earth Immortals, it’s just a death after all!"

"Even if we cannot fight directly, we can break into smaller groups and entangle with his Brahman Sect to the death!"

"Heaven’s justice and earth’s way, lying within people’s hearts, forebearers die and successors continue, as long as the people’s spirit doesn’t perish, our Wandao School will exist forever in this world, and one day we will settle our scores thoroughly!"

"..."

The crowd was driven, all advocating for war without a hint of retreat.

Among them, Demon Enchantress furrowed her brows looking towards Li Yuzhao, "Is there any chance to persuade the Mysterious Gate or Buddhism to intervene?"

Li Yuzhao shook her head, "There’s little hope, even if the Immortals and Buddhas are willing, they would face obstruction from others."

Hearing these words, Demon Enchantress fell silent.

The actions of the Wandao School over the years were not only against the Brahman Sect but also targeted major Divine Systems and Tao Lineages including the Mysterious Gate and Immortals, Buddhas, and Divine Beings. At this juncture, it was good enough that they didn’t add insult to injury; expecting them to lend a hand was somewhat unrealistic.

Even if they set aside these issues and were willing to help, other Divine Systems would come forward to obstruct because this Qi Fortune was unique to the Wandao School. Neither Mysterious Gate nor other Divine Systems had such treatment and could easily confront and wage war against it.

"With things having reached this point, the Taoist Master…"

Demon Enchantress frowned deeply, her eyes reflecting doubt but she dared not speak further.

Li Yuzhao’s gaze moved towards the temple’s exterior, her expression also fluctuating uncertainly.

With the situation progressing to this stage, the Wandao School could be said to be the foremost pusher, being predominantly in the active position, unlike the compelled, desperate efforts of the Brahman Sect and other Divine Systems.

Knowing the outcome and still forcefully pushing forward, was this a display of "confidence"?

Where does this confidence come from, where does this assurance lie?

"Boom!"

Lost in thoughts, suddenly a loud booming noise shook the Scholar’s Palace.

"What is this!?"

...

Inside the live stream, some people dispersed and some gathered.

Led by someone, a wave of pessimistic emotions quietly became the mainstream.

"Can we win this battle?"

"What are you saying, of course, we can win!"

"How can we win, they are Earth Immortals!"

"And not just one Earth Immortal, all the major Divine Systems are covetously watching, who knows whether the Brahman Sect has any help?"

"Even if they have no help, could there only be one Earth Immortal in their sect? Perhaps there are other stronger entities or formidable methods!"

"The higher the realm, the greater the disparity; Human Immortals against Earth Immortals, even with Immortal Spirit Mech Armor, it’s probably hard to succeed."

"So what, I believe in the Taoist Master!"

"Perhaps these years we shouldn’t have pushed the Brahman Sect to this extent."

"Nonsense, what’s this ’shouldn’t have’? If the Golden Immortal Demonic Fruit is real, then perhaps the entire Brahman Sect would turn into Evil Demons. The Scholar’s Palace reminding them and alerting everyone else is for the sake of the world’s populace and the great agenda against demons. They don’t reflect on themselves, and now they even resort to arms?"

"Hmph, if not for the Taoist Master and the Scholar’s Palace pulling things back from the brink, this world would have already turned into a Demon Land. They are completely unaware, only considering their own selfish interests, such morality could also be considered divine, I think they have long fallen into the Demon Path."

"Earth Immortal, Earth Immortal..."

"What’s there to fear, even if we lose, it’s only temporary, I don’t believe the Brahman Sect can kill all the people in the world, one day we will make a comeback, then it will be time for revenge!"

People discussed heatedly, although also impassioned, they couldn’t stop the spread of a pessimistic mood.

After all, they were dealing with Earth Immortals!

For the Scholar’s Palace, although there was confidence, the harsh reality still led to a pessimistic view.

Following pessimism, anger ignited furiously within the hearts of the people.

"Exactly!"

"I refuse to believe they can kill all the people in the world!"

"In this world, billions of people, all are Academy Monks!"

"As long as the people don’t die, the Scholar’s Palace will not be destroyed!"

"Remember today, remember this battle, one day, they will have to pay everything back!"

Public opinion shifted again, from despair and pessimism, anger blazed.

People’s hearts, fiery like flames, fiery like a furnace, now burning intensely, with no knowing how to extinguish it.
