Chapter 1059: Treating a Dead Horse as if it were Alive

"Additionally, we must hurry to find that disciple who fell into demonic ways and caused the internal strife of the Profound Origin Sect years ago; we must see the person if alive, or their corpse if dead." "As long as we find this person, dealing with the Profound Origin Sect will be much easier."

"This person has fallen into demonic ways, but since they have a grudge against the Profound Origin Sect, it is likely that the two sides will be mortal enemies upon meeting; that person probably also wishes to see the Profound Origin Sect destroyed, so find them."

Leihong's meaning was very clear: it was to borrow a knife to kill. If this person were not dead, then for the Yuanba Sect, it would certainly be a good thing.

This person must surely wish to see the Profound Origin Sect destroyed; how could they not make use of such a person?

The Profound Origin Sect must absolutely not be allowed to recover; otherwise, in the future, their Yuanba Sect would never have a chance to rise.

Furthermore, Leihong was even more convinced that Qingsongzi of the Profound Origin Sect was able to break through likely because there was someone supporting him from behind.

As for exactly who was supporting him, he could not help but have a few guesses in his heart.

"I hope it is not them?"

Leihong murmured in his heart.

In the southwest of Jianyu, because of Qingsongzi's breakthrough, it could be said that a storm was coming, but at this moment, the entire Profound Origin Sect was extremely excited.

In the back mountain of the Profound Origin Sect, the Sect Leader of the Profound Origin Sect was currently entertaining a mysterious person.

"It is truly a pity that Zifang did not come."

Qingsongzi looked at the young man before him; despite his young age, he already possessed the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal. The strength of the Sword Sect was truly too terrifying.

It was far from something their Profound Origin Sect could compare to; even at the peak of the Profound Origin Sect, it probably did not have one-tenth the strength of the Sword Sect.

Even if all ten major sects of the entire Jianyu were added together, whether they could compare to the Sword Sect was an unknown.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, upon returning this time, please convey our gratitude and that of our Profound Origin Sect. From now on, our Profound Origin Sect will follow the lead of the Sword Sect."

"If the Sword Sect has any orders in the future, I and the Profound Origin Sect will not refuse, even if it means climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of fire."

Qingsongzi said with firm eyes and a resonant, powerful voice.

These words came from the heart; if not for the help extended by that Zifang from the Sword Sect this time, he would likely have passed away within a few decades.

Once he passed away, the Profound Origin Sect naturally could not be preserved and would inevitably be carved up by those other sects.

Therefore, the Sword Sect had the grace of saving both him and the Profound Origin Sect, so he naturally dared not forget it. Moreover, given the Sword Sect's strength, by clinging to the Sword Sect's thigh, the Profound Origin Sect would likely live better in the future.

It was not impossible for the Profound Origin Sect to return to its peak, or even surpass it, to become one of the top ten sects in Jianyu.

He, Qingsongzi, was a man of ambition. Back when he was the Sect Leader of the Profound Origin Sect during its peak, he had wanted more than just to dominate the southwest; he had wanted to lead the Profound Origin Sect to the pinnacle of Jianyu.

Unfortunately, a bout of internal strife caused the Profound Origin Sect to decline to the extreme, nearly resulting in the destruction of the sect.

And he himself had originally been almost waiting for his lifespan to end.

But the Sword Sect gave him a new lease on life, allowing him to break through his original realm and reach the True Immortal Realm, increasing his lifespan by hundreds of thousands of years.

Furthermore, the Profound Origin Sect was preserved. As for having to look at the Sword Sect's face in the future, in Qingsongzi's view, was this not also a way of clinging to a powerful thigh?

Having clung to such a large thigh, the Profound Origin Sect would be much more relaxed in the future.

It is good to enjoy the shade under a big tree; with the Sword Sect, he could also focus on improving the strength of the Profound Origin Sect.

As for those medium-sized sects in the southwest, how could he not know their ambitions?

Those sects had long been eyeing their Profound Origin Sect like tigers. If he had not broken through this time, the Profound Origin Sect would inevitably have been carved up by them.

The reason they did not act was also because they were worried about him, fearing a final struggle where both sides would perish.

Unfortunately, they did not expect that he would receive the support of a noble person at the final moment and break through his realm, thus not only surviving himself but also preserving the Profound Origin Sect.

In the future, he would treat those sects well; as for now, the Profound Origin Sect was truly powerless to take action against them.

After all, apart from him, the strongest in the current Profound Origin Sect were only at the Earth Immortal Realm. He could not personally take action against those sects; if he truly provoked their resentment, the other side might very well choose to fight to the death, and they might join forces to deal with him.

Even if he could take down a few of their top powerhouses, the Profound Origin Sect would be finished.

Therefore, he needed to endure, wait a few tens of thousands of years, and wait until the sect's strength recovered before taking action against them.

Moreover, he had great confidence in the future of the Profound Origin Sect.

It was not just that he himself had broken through to True Immortal, but also that he had clung to a powerful thigh, and this time, the thigh had given their Profound Origin Sect benefits.

Especially that Earth Deity Path.

At first, he was a bit skeptical about this thing, but he did not have much time left, so he treated a dead horse as if it were alive.

As it turned out, he actually succeeded.

He combed through the Earth Veins in the mountain gate; although it was very difficult in the middle, his primordial spirit was extremely resilient due to years of resisting demonic Qi.

When combing through the traces of baleful Qi in the Earth Veins, he was relatively more at ease.

He re-combed the Earth Veins within the mountain gate, and sure enough, the Spiritual Land of the mountain gate improved slightly.

This was only a slight improvement, but for the sect, it was of great benefit.

Not to mention that he himself also received quite a bit of good luck, with the Qi of Luck and Merit added to his person.

Then, when he faced the Wind-Thunder Tribulation, it seemed to be much weaker than the tribulations recorded by the predecessors in the sect; comparing it, he knew it was indeed much weaker.

This was also the reason he was finally able to survive the Wind-Thunder Tribulation.

Because the Wind-Thunder Tribulation was weaker, coupled with the treasures sent by the Sword Sect, his injuries were healed, though his origin had not yet recovered.

But it did not matter; after breaking through to True Immortal, a portion of his origin was restored.

At this point, he also fully felt the terrifying nature of the Earth Deity Path; he was clear that if he had not treated a dead horse as if it were alive and practiced the Earth Deity Path,

he would likely have truly died under that Wind-Thunder Tribulation. Even if his injuries were healed, the theoretical possibility of surviving the Wind-Thunder Tribulation was only thirty percent.

But because of the Earth Deity Path, after he obtained the Heavenly Dao's Qi of Luck and Merit, the Thunder Tribulation was automatically weakened, and he successfully passed it.

If other disciples of the sect also practiced this Earth Deity Path, and each person could obtain the Qi of Luck and Merit, the success rate when facing Thunder Tribulations in the future would likely increase by thirty percent, or even more.

In this way, the number of Immortals in their Profound Origin Sect in the future would increase explosively.

There would likely be no shortage of True Immortals in the future.

Of course, Qingsongzi also understood that the Earth Deity Path was not that simple, and combing through the Earth Veins was even less of an easy task.

He was able to do it because his will had been tempered to be extremely strong over these years, giving him some ability to resist the baleful Qi within the Earth Veins.
