Chapter 515

Sever emotion, cut off desire, with only cultivation in mind.

This method of severing worldly thoughts is certainly viable, and its effects are remarkable.

Because often, people are weighed down by emotions, shackled, and unable to be free.

But anything has two sides to one whole.

Since emotions exist, they naturally have an important role.

For many people, they are the driving force of cultivation; to protect what matters in one's heart, one will, at critical moments, erupt with unimaginable power.

So between the Path of Severing Emotion and the Path of Feeling, there is no absolute distinction of strong and weak.

It all depends on the person.

"You brat, just left Kong girl and already eyeing another?"

The Grand Elder sent a voice transmission, "And a nun, no less."

"Ahem."

Hearing this, Meng Zhangqing couldn't help but give a light cough—he hadn't expected the dignified Grand Elder to crack jokes.

"This woman is the chief of this session of the Talent War of the Western Desert, named Yue Qingchan, who cultivates the Emotionless Dao—her strength is extremely formidable,"

At this point, a trace of solemnity surfaced in the Grand Elder's voice, "She's only about five or six years older than you, yet her Intent has already reached the fifty-percent realm."

"Fifty percent, huh."

Meng Zhangqing's brow lifted slightly.

Truly worthy of the Western Lands, ranked second among the four domains—a member of the younger generation has already reached such attainment in True Intent.

Two-tenths higher than Yu Hongxue...

"Does this Yue Qingchan have any special traits?"

Meng Zhangqing also sent a soul-sense transmission.

He mainly wanted to know whether this woman was an extremely rare case of one body, twin souls.

"Which aspect do you mean? Physique, bloodline, talent?"

The Grand Elder asked.

"Does she have any other name."

Meng Zhangqing said.

"No, just Yue Qingchan; over in the Western Lands she does have a title—it's—Moon Buddha Child."

The Grand Elder answered.

"Mm."

Meng Zhangqing nodded slightly.

It seemed the Grand Elder didn't know much either.

But that was normal.

After all, it was the Western Lands, a domain where faith ran rampant; any spy sent there, unless possessed of an extremely strong will, would end up tamed over there.

So intelligence on the Western Lands being thin was also normal.

Thinking this, Meng Zhangqing shifted his gaze and began examining the other participants' panels.

To see if there were any good attributes.

After a full scan, though the attributes were all decent—up to the standard of World-Shaking Prodigies—they were basically the kind only useful for decomposition, apart from cultivation methods and martial techniques.

In other words, in the Western Desert team.

Only that Yue Qingchan was worth adding as a friend.

"It's you then."

Meng Zhangqing made his selection.

"Also, did you see the last two people in the Western Desert team?"

The Grand Elder suddenly transmitted again.

"I saw them."

Meng Zhangqing nodded.

According to the jade slip the Grand Elder had given earlier, these two seemed to be World-Shocking Prodigies who had been stuck before the Life and Death Realm for a full twenty or thirty years.

0.3　　They are now already over fifty years old.

Compared to the Life and Death Realm's lifespan of five or six hundred years, this age naturally counts for little; in a certain sense, they are still young.

"Back then, these two's True Intent had already reached the twenty-percent realm, and now they must be starting at eighty percent, or even higher."

The Grand Elder said, "You need to be careful of these two."

"Mm."

Meng Zhangqing withdrew his gaze.

Twenty or thirty years, for World-Shocking Prodigies—especially the outstanding among them—reaching the hundred-percent realm was not a very difficult matter.

But as said before.

He had even condensed a Martial Dao True Domain; no matter how many hundred-percent True Intents came, they were in vain.

Once the Domain emerged.

They would all crumble on their own.

So this trip to the Barbaric Sea, normally speaking, wouldn't pose much difficulty.

Unless the 'external forces' on these people were extraordinary.

Very soon.

Under the arrangements of the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion personnel.

The two teams left the place where the cloud boat was moored and entered their respective rest areas.

There was still about three days until the opening of the Barbarian Sea.

Now.

The teams from the Northern Plains and the Eastern Sea had not yet arrived.

—

The next day.

Meng Zhangqing was disturbed by the noisy sounds.

He slowly opened his eyes.

The resting place was concealed by an array, yet sounds could still penetrate through, indicating that a major commotion had occurred outside.

So he rose, pushed open the Dian Sect door, and walked out.

He saw that not far away, two powerful auras were clashing, colliding constantly.

From this, it was clear that a battle was taking place.

Both auras were very unfamiliar; it seemed they were not acquaintances.

One was extremely cold, like frost and snow descending, freezing heaven and earth.

The other was somewhat strange.

It actually carried... demonic qi?

Thinking this,

Meng Zhangqing flew forward.

He arrived at the battlefield.

This was a huge square, and many people were already there watching from all sides.

And in the center of the square.

several figures were colliding constantly.

One person held a twenty-nine-foot long blade.

Thirty percent of his blade intent manifested above his head, overwhelmingly domineering.

The blade light was also incredibly desolate and cold.

With every slash, it was like wind and snow sweeping through, freezing not only flesh and bone but also affecting the spirit!

Opposite him was a thin young man.

Controlling two demonic beasts.

Engaging in battle with the Northern Plains blade wielder.
