Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

Chapter 174 Controversy! Ambition To Break Through The Dao Realm

Compared to Chen Zongzhu, who came from a humble background, the ancestral master of the Zong family can be said to have grown up with a golden key.

Throughout the long history of the Zong family, there have been many forces that have been on par with the Zong family.

During times of conflicting interests, there have also been conflicts with the Zong family, to the point where the Zong family faced a life-or-death crisis.

But now, these forces have all disappeared.

Therefore, the ancestral master of the Zong family believes that as long as they persist in their struggle, they will definitely achieve victory in the future.

The bloodshed and sacrifices brought about by the struggle are inevitable, and as the ancestral master of the Zong family, he does not mind taking the lead in this aspect.

Chen Zongzhu asked, "Is position really not as important as Law Manifestation?"

The ancestral master of the Zong family replied, "There's no way."

Chen Zongzhu shook his head and said, "I don't agree with your view, senior. I believe that no matter where, strength will always be paramount."

The ancestral master of the Zong family sneered, "Strength being paramount is correct. But as a Sword Emperor, the Sword Emperors of the Immortal Domain can surpass you. In front of them, you must be humble and show utmost respect."

"Then can those below the Sword Emperors also surpass us? To put it in extreme terms, can the mortals on their side also surpass us? Can those who can be crushed by us with a single hand also surpass us?"

Chen Zongzhu asked calmly.

He looked at the ancestral master of the Zong family with sharp eyes, and a glimmer of light burst from the ancestral master's murky eyes.

"So you're willing to be their lackey? Do you believe that even if you were to join them, they would only use you and not treat you as a true person?"

"But what if one day I achieve a stronger cultivation in the Immortal Domain? What if I become what they call a Dao Realm cultivator? Will they still treat me the same? As long as we still have value to them, as long as we're alive, when our cultivation becomes powerful, we can obtain a completely new status in the Immortal Domain!"

The ancestral master of the Zong family looked at Chen Zongzhu and burst into laughter, as if he had heard a great joke.

"But before your cultivation becomes strong enough, you will always be inferior."

Chen Zongzhu nodded in agreement, then immediately said, "It doesn't matter, I've been living like this for a long time. When I was young, I was a menial disciple and had to show respect to the outer disciples of the same sect. Later, when I became an outer disciple, I had to show respect to the inner disciples. Finally, when I became an elder, I had to become an outer disciple again in a new sect and show respect to the outer disciples of that sect...

Ancestral master, do you understand what I mean? To me, the Immortal Domain is just a slightly larger new sect. When I first entered, even the menial disciples could give me a hard time. Maybe in my whole life, I'll only be an outer disciple, not even worthy of being an inner disciple. But as long as I'm alive, the starting point for my descendants might be as menial disciples, and the starting point for their descendants might be as outer disciples...

Perhaps we will never become the masters of this new sect called the Immortal Domain, but it doesn't mean we will always stay at the bottom. The premise is that we're alive, and as a Sword Emperor, I believe I have the qualifications to sit at their negotiation table, discuss the division of interests, and not truly stay at the bottom."

Chen Zongzhu's words made many people begin to ponder and waver.

No one wants to choose death.

Fighting to the death is the worst choice.

"So you're still going to surrender?"

"Not surrender, just cooperate with them. Share resources, develop the Extreme Sword Universe together. Although I know that we will be in a weak position in this cooperation for a long time, I believe they didn't come here just for slaughter."

"What if they don't want to cooperate with you? What if they're here just for slaughter?"

"Then we fight to the end."

Chen Zongzhu said resolutely, and the primordial spirit sword within him emitted a buzzing sound.

Sharp and unstoppable.

He is not a coward.

But he also does not agree with using an egg to strike a rock.

Striking a stone with an egg is the last resort after exhausting all other options.

"Tianming, what do you think?"

After speaking, Master Chen looked at Sword Tianming.

Sword Tianming is the spiritual pillar of the sword cultivators, and everyone hopes that he can lead the Extreme Sword Universe out of its predicament.

Even the Ancestral Patriarch also looked at Sword Tianming.

Their conversation just now, rather than trying to convince each other, was more like speaking to Sword Tianming.

Sword Tianming's attitude is crucial.

"To be honest, I really want to fight to the end and have a life-and-death battle with those people from the Immortal Domain. In my opinion, they can't be called the Immortal Domain at all, it's more appropriate to call it the Demon Domain. But if we fight to the end, I don't think the outcome will be optimistic."

Sword Tianming, like Master Chen, climbed up from the bottom.

In terms of talent and luck, he is better than Master Chen, and he also has more determination.

If it were just him, he would definitely choose to fight to the end without hesitation.

But now he bears the fate of an entire universe, and he cannot make decisions lightly.

"So... I want to give it a try."

"Give it a try, try what?"

"Try to break through to the realm they call the Dao Realm! According to them, my current realm is the Ninth Stage Saint. The gap between the Ninth Stage Saint and the Dao Realm is like heaven and earth. If I can break through to the Dao Realm, I think... they will definitely fear me."

Break through to the Dao Realm!

Master Chen and the Ancestral Patriarch locked eyes in mid-air.

This time, they both saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

It's not that they don't believe in Sword Tianming's talent, but the time is too short.

If they were given several decades or even hundreds of years, they would believe that Sword Tianming could break through to the so-called Dao Realm.

He is the youngest genius in the Extreme Sword Universe, no worse than the geniuses of the Immortal Domain.

But the time is too short.

It is extremely difficult to go from nothing to entering the Dao Realm.

"I know this matter is very difficult. So a few days ago, I sent people to those places in the universe that have ancient legends to seek help. Ancient Sword Tomb, Ancient Sword Palace, Mysterious Silver Abyss... I have sent people to all of them."

"These places, aren't they just legends?"

They are legends, but they are also real. I have received help from the Ancient Sword Tomb before, so I believe that in this life-or-death crisis, those predecessors who have been hiding in the dark will lend a hand."

Master Chen and the Ancestral Patriarch remained silent.

Relying on those elusive legends at a time like this may be a bit self-deceptive.

Boom!

Just then, a beam of light blasted through the defense formation of the Juechen Sword Sect from a distant end, breaking through the ceiling of the council chamber and landing in a corner.

They each summoned their own spirit swords in preparation for battle, but from the white beam of light emerged the pair of twin sisters.

"Ningbing, Ningshuang, why are you here?"
