A Druid Also Can Cultivate-Chapter 292 - 290: Curtain Falls! Golden Core Relic

Chapter 292: Chapter 290: Curtain Falls! Golden Core Relic

This peak strike, imbued with the augmentation of the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword and enhanced spiritual power under special conditions, made the Golden Core level’s prestige pale at that moment!

With this strike, a massive space rift was slashed out, seemingly threatening to swallow everything ahead.

At this moment, in everyone’s perception, only this peak strike remained between heaven and earth!

Almost instantly, terrifying sword energy descended at extreme speed on the six members of the Radical Faction, followed by earth-shattering explosions!

In the face of this strike, even Gu Yunxiao, who was at the perfection of the Golden Core stage, showed a drastic change in expression!

The six of them, led by him, immediately summoned their magical artifacts to collectively resist!

In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided, and terrifying shockwaves and roaring sounds suddenly erupted!

This world trembled wildly under the collision of this strike, and the houses of Starfall City collapsed one after another at this moment!

With a single strike, the world was shaken!

Its power shook the world!

Amidst the massive roar, one figure split into two, suddenly falling from the sky, while the other five figures fled in disarray, leaving only trails of blood shooting out before landing!

Under this one sword, a Golden Core fell, and five Golden Core cultivators retreated in disarray!

It’s important to know that this strike didn’t cut down ordinary people, but the strongest batch of Golden Core cultivators in the Qingtian Realm!

However, after this attack, Wang He’s aura began to gradually recede, and his face turned pale, only able to watch the others leave with wide eyes.

...

"Junior Brother Lin Ya, sorry for scaring you this time!"

After the battle, Wang He looked at Qi Ping.

"I’m fine, rather it’s many thanks to Senior Brother Wang He’s assistance this time, otherwise I would surely have perished here today!" Qi Ping expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

This time, it was fortunate that Wang He acted, otherwise the loss would have been too great for him.

"This is what the holder of the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword should do, and the Sect should protect disciples like you; furthermore, it’s me who should say thanks, as it was Junior Brother Lin Ya’s inspiration that allowed me to rediscover my true self and comprehend the true Celestial Heart Sword Intent. The grace of enlightenment is like rebirth. In the future, if Junior Brother Lin Ya ever requires it, as long as it doesn’t go against my heart, even if I must give my life, I will not hesitate!"

The grace of enlightenment, never forgotten in this lifetime!

Having said this, Wang He, whose sword intent hadn’t dissipated and whose aura was towering, solemnly bowed to Qi Ping.

"Senior Brother Wang He, you are too modest, this is your own talent and effort!"

Seeing this, Qi Ping quickly helped Wang He up.

Qi Ping sincerely admired Wang He.

Wang He’s performance today was truly astonishing!

For Qi Ping, it was because this was a tree-man avatar, so he was fearless, whereas Wang He’s actions were entirely from his heart.

To comprehend the Dao Heart and fully merge with the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword, even Qi Ping himself couldn’t achieve it to such an extent.

The Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword is the Sect Protection Magical Artifact with the strongest will of the Cyan Origin Sect. In its long history, only a few have truly completed the fusion with the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword, and these individuals later became renowned powerhouses.

Those who can fuse with the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword must be people of pure heart and great wisdom.

Having virtue but no wisdom can sometimes bring harm no less than that caused by wicked people.

With this enlightenment, the Nascent Soul is within reach!

"Anyway, Junior Brother Lin Ya, if you ever need anything, just speak, and I won’t decline! Also..."

At this, Wang He paused, his expression turning solemn as he explained earnestly:

"Just now, I didn’t use the original power stored within the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword to slay them with all my might, so I beg Junior Brother Lin Ya not to blame me, as doing so would be disastrous for the Cyan Origin Sect and Qingtian Realm!"

Wang He then slowly explained:

This time, he held back in his actions and did not use the Power of Origin stored in the Heaven and Earth Righteous Law Sword, only using the power under special conditions and the augmentation of the Heaven and Earth Righteous Law itself.

Fortunately, with the added Power of Attack of the Third Realm Celestial Heart Sword Intent, he successfully intimidated the remaining five from the Radical Faction into retreat!

The Golden Core early-stage cultivator who died just now was also from Ye Yanwu’s faction, not Gu Yunxiao and another late-stage Golden Core person.

And the remaining five obviously realized that Wang He had not used the original power stored in the Heaven and Earth Righteous Sword; otherwise, they would have inevitably summoned the Sect Protection Treasures they controlled to retaliate.

If both sides used the original power stored in their Sect Protection Treasures to fight to the death, neither side would want to face the consequences.

To Wang He, mutual slaughter, Golden Core falls, Sect Protection Magical Artifacts breaking, if truly such a situation arose, the Cyan Origin Sect would be not far from destruction. His core goal was only to protect Qi Ping and to uphold the righteous law, to slay the chief instigators, not to let the sect perish.

Now this strike has achieved his purpose and has carved out a hope for the future for the Cyan Origin Sect and Qingtian Realm!

And for the Radical Faction, they likewise didn’t want things to reach this point. One of their own Golden Core falling, the powerful Sect Protection Treasures lost, and when they return, they might still suffer attacks from the Sect Protection Array, a millennium of foundation destroyed at once, which is an unbearable pain for them, too.

Without these foundations, what resources will they have to cultivate in the future?

And with Wang He’s explanation, the current situation also became clearly apparent to Qi Ping.

"I see! Senior Brother Wang He, I can understand!"

Simply put, if they tore each other apart, both sides would most likely die; unless absolutely necessary, no one would want to reach this point!

Then Wang He continued slowly:

"The most important thing for us now is that we already have hope for setting things right, so next, I will ask the masters to fully support Junior Brother Lin Ya’s cultivation and growth. You are the future hope of the Sect and Qingtian Realm..."

"The unfairness you suffered in the past and the rights you didn’t receive, after going back, Senior Brother will find a way to retrieve them for you with doubled compensation!"

At this, Wang He solemnly bowed to Qi Ping, carrying both an apology and a request for Qi Ping.

Wang He also knew that he alone was still hard-pressed to turn the situation of the sect, and mutual destruction wasn’t the result he truly wanted.

But Qi Ping was different; he thought Qi Ping’s talent and character surpassed his, making him the true leader of the future revival of the sect and Qingtian Realm!

In his view, as long as Qi Ping truly grows strong enough to suppress everything, it wouldn’t matter if relations were strained or not.

He estimated the Radical Faction was also waiting for a similar opportunity, for instance, when Gu Yunxiao breaks through to the Nascent Soul!

Anyway, as long as one side has a chance to thoroughly defeat the other and can maintain the Cyan Origin Sect’s foundation, they will not hesitate to do so.

So the crisis of the sect and Qingtian Realm is not yet resolved, Qi Ping needs to grow quickly.

In the end, Wang He took the Storage Ring of the fallen early-stage Golden Core cultivator and solemnly handed it to Qi Ping.

"Junior Brother Lin Ya, let this serve as compensation from the Sect for you..."

"Moreover, I will strive to obtain contribution points for you in guarding Starfall City, and I will open up the exchange permissions of the Sect Treasure Vault to you completely..."
