Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 311 - 258: The Cause of the Immortal Tribulation

Chapter 311: Chapter 258: The Cause of the Immortal Tribulation

"Absolutely not, the strength of Personal Sword Level slaves is formidable, comparable to Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators."

Feng Wuya hurriedly intervened:

"You’re sending a group of teenagers to fight enemies with such power—it’s like forcing them to grow prematurely!"

Instructor Zhao responded indifferently:

"Once on the battlefield, the enemy won’t care about their age or cultivation level."

"These unforeseen circumstances are the best test for evaluating the qualities of new students."

Saying this, he turned to the two students and coldly said:

"Su Yuan, Qi Hanyan, notify all students immediately to assemble and jointly counter the upcoming offensive of the sword slaves."

"From now on, I will not provide any support to the training team; it all depends on your performance!"

"I can make the decision: the best performer in this battle will receive special rewards from the sect."

Faced with Instructor Zhao’s stern words, the two could not refute and had to follow his instructions to gather all the students.

However, despite Instructor Zhao’s verbal claim of offering no support, he secretly reported the anomaly in Absolute Sword World to the school authorities at the first moment.

Letting the freshmen face danger is meant to train them, not to harm them.

When the danger escalated, Instructor Zhao deemed himself unable to protect everyone in time, thus notifying the school to dispatch more teachers to assist.

Especially since Flame River Sword Demon had a certain probability of descending as an avatar, possibly unleashing Golden Core level power briefly.

This could not be overlooked.

The strategy adopted by the Evil Extermination Sword Sect against demon cultivators has always been one: dimensional reduction strike!

Simply put, when personnel are sufficient, they use absolute numbers and cultivation superiority to crush the enemy.

Against Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators, ten cultivators of the same level or one Master Golden Core are sent to battle.

Against Golden Core stage demon cultivators, ten cultivators of the same level or one Nascent Soul True Monarch are dispatched.

When encountering Nascent Soul level demon cultivators, it’s not cultivators of the same level that are deployed—it’s the Federation Fleet that is sent, flipping the table with absolute firepower advantage!

When Nascent Soul True Monarchs are fighting on native lands, why not deploy the Federation Fleet?

In ordinary circumstances, it’s always like this. Now, when protecting a group of seed candidates from the Evil Extermination Sword Sect, more personnel are dispatched.

Upon receiving the message from Instructor Zhao, immediately over five Golden Core tutors were sent out.

These five Golden Core cultivators are merely the vanguard.

Because Taibai Phecda, the Nascent Soul Tutor sitting at the helm of the Evil Extermination Department, was already prepared to act at any moment.

If Flame River Sword Demon shows an inclination to descend, Taibai Phecda will immediately arrive to suppress him with swift, forceful action. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

No mistakes will occur!

However, before that, be it the arriving Golden Core tutors, Taibai Phecda, or even Instructor Zhao, they should all try to conceal themselves.

Otherwise, if Flame River Sword Demon is intimidated by the opposing lineup and backs off, what good would that be?

The reason why the configuration of the reinforcement personnel wasn’t disclosed to the students beforehand is simple.

If the students knew a bunch of Golden Core experts were ready to save them at any moment, how could any training effects manifest?

Nonetheless, for Feng Wuya’s cooperation, Instructor Zhao secretly transmitted the reinforcement personnel configuration to him, seeking Feng Wuya’s peace of mind.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, your soul power is too feeble; I’m afraid it will dissipate once the transmission ends. Is there any way we can help?"

Instructor Zhao sincerely inquired.

Feng Wuya gently refused:

"I’ve lived long enough. If it weren’t for the unreliability of Flame River, I would’ve died after handing over the legacy to him."

"Besides, my soul is bound to the feng shui of this world, unable to detach; you can’t save me."

"But rest assured, since you aim to lure those Personal Sword Level slaves, I won’t rush to pass on the legacy to Qi Hanyan. I’ll calmly die after these kids finish their training."

Instructor Zhao couldn’t help but be moved, saying:

"Senior’s outlook on life and death shames me."

Clearly intending to respect Feng Wuya’s opinion.

Seeing this scene, Su Yuan couldn’t help but interject:

"Senior Feng, why not reside in my Ten Thousand Souls Banner? The Artifact Spirit and I have researched a way to convert Life Souls to Cyber Souls. Just nod, and you’ll be able to roam the ocean of the Spiritual Net."

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuya replied indignantly:

"I would rather die, die outside, be captured by Personal Sword Level slaves, than live in your Ten Thousand Souls Banner, you little demon!"

Su Yuan clicked his tongue and looked at Instructor Zhao:

"Old Zhao, why not persuade him? Such rare ancient relics surely have immense archaeological value."

"Letting him perish like this is such a waste. Is no one in the industry concerned about what the so-called Immortal Tribulation really is?"

Faced with this question, Instructor Zhao sighed:

"Ultimately, respecting the personal wishes of ancient predecessors is paramount; we cannot force them."

"Regarding the Immortal Tribulation that destroyed the entire Ancient Cultivation Realm, we naturally have conducted research, and have come up with complete findings."

"Even if we inquire further from Senior Feng or other cultivators who survived the Ancient Era, it wouldn’t make a significant difference."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan and Qi Hanyan were surprised.

Instructor Zhao, seeing the students still needing some time to gather, casually explained:

"Though the findings are complete, in reality, the Federation’s understanding of the Immortal Tribulation is similar to that of most ancient cultivators."

"According to some ancient cultivators like Senior Feng, thirty-six Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs spontaneously issued decrees before the Immortal Tribulation, announcing its imminent arrival to the entire world."

"The timeline of the Immortal Tribulation’s arrival was even pinpointed to the exact year, month, and day."

"To counter the Immortal Tribulation, sects and forces from the Ancient Cultivation Realm utilized various means to shrink their sect gates, defending against the tribulation."

"Unfortunately, even when many great forces transformed their sect gates into independent small worlds, Great Secret Realms, none could withstand the erosion of the Immortal Tribulation."

"The vast majority of ancient cultivators suddenly perished on the predicted day of the tribulation."

"Only one in a million lucky individuals, or those with transformed life forms, managed to barely survive."
