Chapter 809: The Realm Faces an Unprecedented Great Change in a Million Years
"Resurrect the Dao Son?"
The beautiful, ethereal woman fell into deep thought.
The Dao Son of this generation of Taiyi Qingmu has not yet died.
A fragment of her divine soul origin still resides in the Taiyi Qingmu Heavenly Seed; it will not dissipate within a hundred years, leaving a possibility of resurrection, though it would require ten times the cost of cultivating a new Dao Son.
This cost made her hesitate, unable to make a decision.
One must know that the resources for cultivating a Dao Son are no ordinary things; do not think that because the Dao Son is only at the Jin Dan Jing Gao Jie realm, the resources needed to cultivate them are merely top-tier Refining Void stage heavenly treasures and earthly gems!
Moreover, they are not ordinary Refining Void stage heavenly treasures and earthly gems.
They must have the Taiyi Qingmu Heavenly Seed, Supreme Pure Divine Iron, Five Elements Void Copper, Brother Brother Xuanwu Divine Gold... and so on, the foundational sacred metals of the Qingmuxian Sect as the core; only thus can one be called a Dao Son.
This cost now needs to be tenfold!
This is terrifying.
It is equivalent to taking out all the heavenly treasures and earthly gems capable of cultivating ten generations of Dao Sons to cultivate a single Dao Son who has already failed.
This truly makes one's heart ache; it would instantly drain the sect's savings, and likely the remaining heavenly treasures and earthly gems would only be enough to cultivate one or two Dao Sons.
The orderly succession of the sect's Dao Sons suddenly faces immense risk.
If, after consuming these heavenly treasures and earthly gems, problems arise in the next few generations of Dao Sons, it is highly likely that the sect's Refining Void experts will suffer a generational break!
Due to all these reasons, Dao Sons have basically never been resurrected in the history of the Xianzong Sect.
In the rare one or two exceptions that did occur, it was basically because the contemporary Refining Void grandmaster's own child possessed sufficient talent and happened to become the Dao Son, only then was it worth resurrecting at any cost.
If not one's own child, even if it were a brother's son or a clan member's son, these relationships would likely be far too distant to warrant such an action.
The Dao Son of this generation of Taiyi Qingmu has no such relationship with her.
This is precisely where she hesitates.
In reality, a Refining Void grandmaster lives for tens of thousands of years; a lifespan of a few hundred years is not a long time to spend together, making it difficult for an always-cold Refining Void grandmaster to develop deep affection, and the Dao Son of this generation of Taiyi Qingmu failed to achieve this.
"What will the newly cultivated Dao Son be like?"
The beautiful, ethereal woman asked softly.
She will not personally cultivate the Dao Son.
Not wanting to care for a child is one aspect.
On the other hand, the sect master of the Qingmuxian Sect has always been a Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun most skilled in teaching disciples, equivalent to the Dao Son's guardian.
At least during the low-level stages, the sect master's teaching ability is somewhat stronger than hers.
The Refining Void grandmaster is named 'Master', but in reality, they only fill gaps, supervise, and lecture at critical moments; they do not accompany the Dao Son day and night as they grow.
"Ancestor, this disciple dares not deceive."
The sect master of the Qingmuxian Sect respectfully said, "Their strength might be slightly greater than Dao Son Ji's, or slightly weaker; their heart-nature is yet undecided and requires at least a hundred years of observation."
The Dao Son is the one to whom the sect will be entrusted in the future.
High talent alone is not enough.
In the Dao heart, in character, and in politics, they must also be qualified; at the very least, they must be loyal to the Qingmuxian Sect, have affection for the sect, have attachment, and hold no hatred; this is the bottom line.
Other factors such as steadiness, not being too radical, combat talent, personality, and leadership ability all have an impact.
The sect's high-level elders will bow respectfully to the Dao Son, creating a warm, home-like growth environment, while silently scrutinizing.
If the Dao Son's Dao heart bottom line is violated, perhaps some 'natural' accident will occur.
The sect will then continue to cultivate the next Dao Son.
From the sect master of the Qingmuxian Sect's interests, naturally, cultivating a new generation of Dao Son is best.
In this way, the Dao Son is raised by her from childhood, so the bond will naturally be different; they can share weal and woe, with interests as one.
Even if the sect achieves great development and resources are no longer a constraint, she might rise to prominence along with it, advance to Refining Void, or at the very least leave a legacy for her family, bringing prosperity for tens of thousands of years.
The Dao Son of this generation was cultivated by the previous sect master who has already died in battle; in terms of affection, it is not very deep with her, and the future is hard to predict.
However, such obvious small schemes naturally dare not be revealed before a grandmaster.
"The new Dao Son's strength may vary,"
"The Dao heart is undecided..."
The beautiful, ethereal woman fell into deep thought; Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu runes flickered in her eyes as she gazed at the distant Taiyi Qingmu tree sea, and she did not answer for a long time.
The Taiyi Qingmu sect master held her breath.
She knew the Ancestor was deducing, contemplating the entire realm's situation for thousands upon thousands of years; every spark of divine sense that bloomed in each instant contained profound mysteries of the Immortal Dao, a depth she could hardly comprehend even after hundreds of years.
Several months later,
"Resurrect her."
"At the very least, she was qualified; when facing the sect's grand situation, she never retreated half a step, and she possessed sufficient combat experience against the Great Sun Sword Son."
"Do not worry about the cost."
The beautiful, ethereal woman said indifferently.
"Amidst this unprecedented change in the realm in a million years, hoarding so many heavenly treasures and earthly gems is of no use."
"If it succeeds, the sect can achieve a great feat like the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, advancing beyond Refining Void; if it fails, the sect will be destroyed anyway, and leaving behind too many heavenly treasures and earthly gems is useless, merely benefiting others for nothing."
"Our generation might be the last generation of the sect."
Her words were weathered and profound, as if she had seen certain scenes in the future times.
"We humbly obey the Ancestor's decree."
The sect master of the Qingmuxian Sect bowed deeply, respectfully retreated, and dared not disturb further.
Several months later, at the center of the shade of the Taiyi Qingmu Divine Tree, which forms a world with a single tree, the breath of a life began to revive; it is expected to be born in over thirty years, appearing once again in the realm.
Around the same time, the other five major Xianzong Sects also made similar decisions.
They reached a joint judgment.
For this generation, perhaps it would be the Xianzong's last.
Before reaching the Nine Heavens above, one would plummet into the boundless netherworld, with no chance of rising again.
At such a time, the value of heavenly materials and earthly treasures would count for little.
……
"Another Dao Child has appeared… and one who has been struck by a Taiqing Flying Sword, no less."
Jiang Ding Zi murmured.
The Taiqing Flying Sword's sensitivity in this regard was terrifying — ignoring vast distances of realm-space and countless profound mountain-gate grand formations, it could naturally sense the aura of cultivators of the same rank, almost as if bound by some fated, karmic destiny.
Clearly, within the Great Sun inheritance, there were certain unknown elements.
"Ding!"
"Level One Conscription Order."
"Reserve Sky Corps General, Jiang Ding, the Immortal Gate Military Committee requests that, for the coming period, you do not go out, do not enter deep seclusion or breakthrough, and do not engage in cultivation activities such as artifact refinement that carry a risk of serious injury."
"Await a possible conscription by the Immortal Gate."
The voice of the Central Array Spirit Computer rang out.
Not only Jiang Ding — at this moment, almost every Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun and Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun of the entire Immortal Gate received similar notices; notices to Jin Dan cultivators and those below would be delayed somewhat, arriving after a lag.
"What has happened?"
Jiang Ding was startled.
Still, he already had a guess in his heart: the realm situation that had just settled into stability must have changed once again.
The military intelligence briefing that appeared next confirmed this point.
