Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2224 Chapter 1034: Three Mountains Legacy_3

"Furthermore, the prodigies from other sects are keeping pace closely."

The Chongxu Sect Leader let out a sigh, "To be frank, Mo Hua possesses remarkable talent, yet even the greatest talents face boundaries."

"For him to truly guide Taixu Gate in facing the world, confronting the Four Sects and Eight Gates together with the Twelve Streams, even with Mo Hua's bravery, we require a solid foundation..."

"With the current strength of Taixu Gate's disciples, how could they possibly compete?"

"This path leads to a deadlock."

"How shall we discuss this with Mo Hua?"

"The three of us Sect Leaders cannot simply thrust such a massive responsibility onto his young shoulders without shame, right?"

The three leaders fell into silence.

The Taixu Sect Master, who had remained silent throughout, cast a faint look and exhaled gently:

"Despite that, we cannot merely await destruction passively."

"Since the Sword Discussion began, we have all observed Mo Hua's capabilities. In terms of cultivation level and combat strength, he does not rank highest."

"However, when it comes to array formations, strategies, and wisdom, this young one truly excels."

"Additionally, as Taixu Gate's 'Junior Brother' admired by all, he holds great respect, and the disciples place their faith in him."

"Thus, for the Shura Sword Discussion, our ultimate dependence rests on Mo Hua."

"As the Junior Brother, bearing this duty is unavoidable."

"He must already sense it; therefore, we Sect Leaders need not elaborate much. Yet, in execution, we cannot hold back."

"I suggest..." The Taixu Sect Master's eyes intensified, declaring firmly:

"In readiness for the battle, we shall unlock the three lineage heritages of Taixu, Tai'a, and Chongxu for Mo Hua!"

"Allow him to select anything beneficial from each heritage and organize it as he sees fit."

"All in service of the Sword Discussion Conference!"

"Unite the power of one sect's three lineages to devise this decisive Earth Grade Shura confrontation!"

The Taixu Sect Master declared with magnanimity.

Tai'a Sect Leader and Chongxu Sect Leader showed somewhat nuanced expressions.

Having served as Sect Leaders for numerous years, how could they fail to grasp these subtleties?

"Is this not too sudden?" Chongxu Sect Leader wavered.

The Taixu Sect Master breathed out slowly, "We fully recognize the vital importance of the forthcoming Sword Discussion."

"Should we delay our resolve and fail to decide now, regret will come too late if the Shura battle ends in defeat."

"At that point, if Taixu Gate endures a crushing loss, revealing the heritage would prove pointless."

"What if defeat strikes?" Chongxu Sect Leader creased his brow.

The Taixu Sect Master replied straightforwardly, "If defeat comes, then so be it; what more can we do?"

"You..."

The Taixu Sect Master affirmed solemnly:

"What immense rewards link to the Sword Discussion Conference? In the whole Qian Learning State Boundary, which major sect does not vie for the smallest possibility?"

"Nothing in this world guarantees victory."

"Victory arises from striving. With a faint chance, others seize it, succeeding or failing."

"Yet if you refrain from striving, hesitating initially and fretting over wins and losses, defeat is certain."

Chongxu Sect Leader paused in surprise, then inclined his head in partial accord, though his face held a peculiar tint as he inquired of the Taixu Sect Master:

"This... seems unlike your usual words?"

It was widely acknowledged that the Taixu Sect Master favored philosophy, focusing on personal cultivation, aloof from mortal concerns, and would not typically mention 'seizing a chance' or 'striving to evade inevitable failure!' The Taixu Sect Master heaved a profound sigh, "The situation compels me; I have no alternative."

Were he solitary, he could confront the world with indifference.

If the sect enjoyed tranquility, it might stay detached from worldly matters.

But the present differs; the sect's entire welfare is at stake, influencing the prospects and fate of countless cultivators.

In such a moment, persisting in preaching worldly detachment would mark him as self-centered and unwise.

Regardless of weariness or discomfort, he must endure until the conclusion.

For Taixu Gate's advancement, even ascending a single step further would prove advantageous.

Chongxu Sect Leader and Tai'a Sect Leader regarded the Taixu Sect Master with heightened esteem.

In hardship, refine the self; in prosperity, aid others.

Embrace nobility as required, and engage the world when essential, contending for honor and gain.

Tai'a Sect Leader pondered momentarily, then agreed foremost:

"To offer and receive; to bestow, then gain."

"I shall return to consult with Ancestor, and should Ancestor approve, I will reveal Tai'a's heritage to Mo Hua. Let him pick and assess its value for Shura battle readiness."

"With danger pressing so close, if not now, then when do we strive?"

Chongxu Sect Leader also assented, "I will likewise confer with Ancestor..."

As Chongxu Sect Leader, his authority remains constrained, with key choices dictated by Ancestor, particularly those involving sect heritage.

The Taixu Sect Master expressed deep gratitude with a bow:

"I thank you both for grasping the broader picture."

Upon parting from the Taixu Sect Master and descending Taixu Mountain, Tai'a Sect Leader and Chongxu Sect Leader journeyed side by side in a carriage.

"Are we really proceeding to unveil the heritage?"

Chongxu Sect Leader lingered in doubt.

Tai'a Sect Leader shot him a resolute glance:

"Yes, unveil it! Beyond standard heritages, I believe your Chongxu Gate's essential sword arts ought to go to Mo Hua as well."

Chongxu Sect Leader furrowed his brow, "He does not pursue sword arts, being no Sword Cultivator; why bestow swordsmanship upon him?"

Tai'a Sect Leader remarked, "Whether he practices swords or employs it, hand it over first. Without offering, how can you tell he won't find a use?"

Chongxu Sect Leader contemplated briefly, coming to enlightenment, then sighed:

"Rooted in Taixu, mastering Tai'a's Sword Array, and acquiring my Chongxu's Sword Qi... this youth could genuinely emerge as the 'Crown Prince' of the three premier lineage heritages."

"Is this... Ancestor Xun's notion?"

"Would the ancestor of your Tai'a Mountain consent?"

Tai'a Sect Leader denied with a shake of his head, "I cannot fathom Ancestor's intentions; my focus lies solely on the Sword Discussion."

"I disregard others' opinions; I aim only to safeguard the sect's standing."

"Should this youth indeed aid Taixu Gate in preserving its Sword Discussion position, he shall without doubt become the Crown Prince of Taixu's three lineages!"

Tai'a Sect Leader voiced candidly.

Chongxu Sect Leader hesitated, then exhaled gradually, nodded, and murmured softly: "If Crown Prince he becomes, so be it; other sects yearn for such a Crown Prince yet cannot attain it!"
