Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone

Chapter 885 681: Pure Yang Broken Sword Reappears (Part 2)

Analyzing from a malicious angle, if they outwardly accept him as an Elder of the Sacred Land, then lure him inside to activate the array and suppress or kill him, they would stand to gain many benefits, ensuring some people are well-fed. As for promises or commitments, they can be violated anytime given the right price.

Human nature cannot withstand tests, nor should it be tested.

He dare not gamble, as cultivators on Sword Island are consistent in their words and actions, regarded as moral gentry, and he can't bet on the promises of the Sacred Lands truly working because he can't afford to lose,

forcing him to consider the worst and suspect the four major sects.

After finishing speaking, Lu Xuanji prepared to disappear.

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, Jiang Yumo spoke, "Friend Daoist, pause for a while!"

Lu Xuanji halted abruptly, saying, "If there's nothing else, I plan to leave!"

Jiang Yumo said, "Let me give you this as my gift!"

Saying this, he revealed a broken sword.

This broken sword, only the lower half remained, was merely two feet long.

The blade was covered with pits and dents, showing severe damage and numerous rust spots, dim and weary, devoid of any peculiarities.

Yet Lu Xuanji merely glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, calmly saying, "Friend Daoist, what does this mean?"

This broken sword was indeed the Pure Yang Broken Sword.

It perfectly matched the Pure Yang Broken Sword in his hands, they belonged as one.

Once upon a time, he obtained the Pure Yang Broken Sword, relying on it to fend off many calamities, attempting to find the lower half, to complete the treasure sword, allowing this Immortal Sword to regain its peak. But multiple searches yielded no corresponding traces, not only that, the deductions were a blur.

Now, the remnants of the Pure Yang Sword appeared here, within reach.

Yet, hesitance gripped him.

Jiang Yumo said, "This broken sword is the remnant of an Immortal Artifact, not very useful to me, but can be gifted to you?"

With a wave, the broken sword flew over.

The broken sword settled in his hand, Lu Xuanji sensed a slight pulsation in his bloodline, a resonance in his spirit, unparalleled benefits close at hand. Only by merging the two broken swords, with continual refinement, into a perfect whole, a complete Immortal Artifact awaits. Such are supreme advantages.

No one can refuse all this!

No one would spurn having too many Immortal Artifacts.

Haha!

Lu Xuanji laughed loudly, saying, "No reward without merit. I dare not accept such advantages! Better to return it to its owner!"

He exerted force with his finger, turning the broken sword into a stream of light, landing back in Jiang Yumo's hand.

Jiang Yumo frowned, saying, "Friend Daoist, do not decline!"

Lu Xuanji remained silent, returning it once again.

After saying goodbye, he left the place.

...

"Interesting, he actually refused such temptation!"

Clutching the broken sword, Jiang Yumo frowned slightly.

Everything seemed to exceed her expectations, her plans, her schemes, had failed unexpectedly.

Know yourself and your enemy, achieve victory in every battle.

Before attending this conference, she put in much effort, trying to win over the Daoist by targeting his personality, but still failed.

"Could it be that he does not care for the reincarnated bodies of his wife and children, his parents? No, it's not that he doesn't care, but he doesn't trust us, or perhaps he's excessively confident in himself. Such a lure as the Pure Yang Broken Sword, yet he remains unmoved, too calm and composed!"

Jiang Yumo pondered, contemplating countermeasures.

During meeting moments, she uttered stern words, just a mere threat to someone, not truly intended, threatening with one hand while tempting with the other, a carrot in one hand, a big stick in the other, with a five-layered chance to win over the Daoist, but still she failed.

At this time, a middle-aged man appeared once again, his body tall, his black hair mixed with some strands of white, seemingly unnoticed by anyone here.

"Master!"

Jiang Yumo said, "This disciple has failed!"

"No matter, this was within my expectations!" the middle-aged man spoke, "I investigated Daoist's information, continually researching his life trajectory. He is extremely affectionate and loyal, losing too much for his parents and family. Many resources are supplied to relatives, resulting in slow progress of his cultivation in the early stages!"

"Family, this is his weak spot!"

"Of course, it is merely a weak spot, attempting to force him into excessive acts through family is impossible. When threatened, he decisively abandons everything, escapes on his own, waits until his cultivation is strong, then retaliates with vengeance. He maintains a flexible moral baseline!"

Life, after all, is not a storybook novel.

In novels, merely capturing the protagonist's parents and relatives is enough to seize someone's weakness, prompting someone to abolish their own cultivation, and thus abandoning pretense; prompting someone to commit suicide, hence self-destruction.

The so-called protagonist is both foolish and silly.

But Daoist, is different.

He truly cherishes his family, sacrificing certain things for them; yet if someone seizes his family to threaten him, he won't be easily subdued, won't self-destruct his cultivation, won't commit suicide, he only flees, completely immune to threats. Until cultivation strengthens, retaliating with vengeance.

Jiang Yumo said, "Teacher, Daoist cannot be abandoned. On Daoist, I perceive the presence of the Pure Yang Sword Spirit. He cultivated under five thousand years yet became Harmonization, further confirming his mysterious origins. The Pure Yang Sword Spirit controls much information and cultivation techniques on Sword Island. Only by obtaining him can we dismantle and complete the heritage, leading Sword Island to true revival. Yet he inherently fears me, instinctively distancing himself from me."

The middle-aged man said, "If it were the past, during peace, I would strive to win him over. But with the great calamity arriving, crisis ongoing, the Purple Mansion World plunged into crisis, we must expedite, time is scarce for us. Yumo, strive to win him over!"

"If he continues to lack identification with Sword Island, continues to alienate us, we can only resort to extreme measures, suppress him, erase his spirit, infuse it into the Pure Yang Broken Sword, and reforge the Pure Yang Immortal Sword!"

At these words, a murderous aura laced his tone.

Towards stubborn individuals, patience had vanished.

A decision struck to act ruthlessly.

To eliminate everything.

This relates not to right or wrong, but solely to the struggle for interests.

For Sword Island to progress to this point, to become one of the Ten Great Sects, to be the Dominator of the Purple Mansion World, it couldn't have a soft heart, couldn't possess a womanly kindness, conversely, it is ruthless and heartless.

During ordinary times, gentle and elegant, seemingly a modest gentleman, seemingly a kind-hearted individual.

But when Sword Island's interests are threatened, it would tear off the facade of warmth, revealing a ferocious and brutal visage, tearing everything apart.

Jiang Yumo said, "I understand, I will one last time persuade someone, persuade him to join us?"

The middle-aged man said, "He is the Pure Yang Sword Spirit, and should strive for Sword Island's revival, time is scant for us now. Back then, a predecessor sealed the Undying Demon Monarch, but the seal has suffered much rupturing, might break open constantly. Feiyu World's Spiritual Qi and Laws are backflowing, our Purple Mansion World cultivators enhance rapidly, gaining abundant benefits."

"But correspondingly, suppression of top powerhouses continually weakens, more and more powerhouses will enter this world, the final battle time is increasingly shortened. For the Purple Mansion World, we must dare to sacrifice all, that's the chance for victory!"

Jiang Yumo nodded, "I understand!"

The middle-aged man said, "Soon thereafter, meetings will continue! By then, some individuals' destinies will be peeled away, given to others, artificially cultivating the child of destiny. This has always been where opportunities lie, strive for benefits, do not become mere crops."

Jiang Yumo nodded, "I understand!"
