Chapter 718: Chapter 471 Questioning, Sudden Challenge_2
Still with that smiling expression: “Oh, Mr. Meng, how do you intend to divide the world?”
“Naturally, it should be divided according to strength!” Meng Dian responded without hesitation, “We cultivators, regard strength as supreme!
When all is said and done, only the one with the strongest fists is justified!
Likewise, the sect with more strength should control more cultivation resources!
Saint Master, what do you think?”
“That’s correct.” The First Saint Master nodded.
“So, I propose that during this holy assembly, we straightforwardly establish a charter, to re-divide the territories under the dominion of each major sect according to their strength.
The stronger ones will occupy more territories, while the weaker ones should voluntarily yield their excess territories!
Even among neighboring territories, sects with weaker power need to regularly pay tribute to the stronger sects for stability!”
Meng Dian clearly had thought this through beforehand, so the words he spoke came out smoothly, without any hesitation.
However, his proposal made everyone’s hearts tense.
Indeed, if it were really as he said, then among those present, aside from the few most powerful sect forces.
The remaining majority of forces would find themselves in a precarious situation.
Wouldn’t they at any time be at risk of becoming subordinates to those strong forces?
Instantly, the giant stone platform started to stir and buzz with noise.
Those sect forces with relatively weaker strength directly expressed their opposition.
Even the people from Cold Water Palace showed expressions of shock and anger.
If they really follow through with this, wouldn’t those without Golden Core Realm have to submit to others?
On the contrary, the leaders of those sects with the deepest foundations and strongest forces showed a hint of interest on their faces.
Meng Dian looked at the stone platform becoming noisy and showed a trace of impatience on his face.
He suddenly shouted: “All of you shut up!”
Suddenly, his demeanor exploded, and the powerful Golden Core pressure swept across the entire place, instantly silencing all voices.
Everyone looked at Meng Dian in amazement.
Those with weaker cultivation felt as if a great mountain was pressing on them, almost suffocated under the terrifying Golden Core pressure, almost fainting.
“You wastes, in the path of cultivation, naturally everything is respect for strength!
Since your strength is weak, you should honestly bow your head to me!
If anyone dares to defy, they might as well resist.
However, if the sect gets wiped out, don’t blame others for being ruthless!”
Listening to Meng Dian’s blatant threat, those sects with relatively weaker strength showed expressions of shock and anger on their faces.
However, feeling the terrifying aura he was emitting at the moment, no one dared to verbally refute for a moment.
Seeing the heroes around the venue intimidated by him, many of whom were once his seniors he needed to look up to.
Meng Dian’s face became more smug.
Such a scene he had only experienced in dreams before.
Now, he finally got his wish fulfilled.
Feeling the frightful gazes around him, Meng Dian felt thoroughly pleased.
The speed of his internal Magic Power Golden Core’s circulation increased further, faintly showing signs of advancement.
“Please calm down, Mr. Meng.”
Just when Meng Dian was content and complacent, a gentle voice sounded.
At the same time, a gentle aura enveloped the entire giant stone platform, dissolving most of the Golden Core pressure emitted by Meng Dian.
Causing those Innate Realm whose bodies had been oppressed by his aura almost to faint to suddenly relax and take deep breaths.
This scene directly made Meng Dian’s expression tense, and other Golden Core Realm cultivators’ eyes slightly froze.
Yet the First Saint Master who dissolved Meng Dian’s Golden Core pressure seemed aware of nothing, still kept smiling.
“The convening of the holy assembly is originally to brainstorm, allowing fellow cultivators across the world to freely express views and provide smart strategies.
To seek a piece of stability for the living beings across the world.
Given this, why would Mr. Meng need to make such a big fuss?”
“Seek a piece of stability for the living beings across the world?” Meng Dian’s face showed a hint of a sneer, “Saint Master, surely you aren’t still thinking, like a thousand years ago, to establish a prohibition preventing us cultivators from using our powers arbitrarily?
Now that things are laid bare, I may as well speak frankly.
If you, esteemed senior, still wish to bind us as a thousand years ago with prohibitions, that’s absolutely impossible!
We cultivators have painstakingly cultivated to master supreme power.
How can we restrain ourselves for the sake of mere weaklings, wouldn’t that be a waste of cultivation!”
This speech of Meng Dian once again resonated with many powerful cultivators.
Indeed, having endured hardships to cultivate, controlling mighty powers, how could they be easily bound?
Looking at Meng Dian’s righteous demeanor, and the approving expressions of many cultivators present.
The First Saint Master was momentarily speechless, then sighed quietly.
Indeed, he knew that attempting to persuade these powerful sects whose ambitions had grown only with rhetoric is impossible.
Just as he was trying to organize words to continue persuading.
Suddenly, another voice sounded.
“Mr. Meng is right, we cultivators regard strength as supreme, how can we be constrained by mere mortals.
Speaks volumes that, over the millennia, the so-called Holy Mountain prohibition is truly unreasonable.
Venerable Innate Realm masters possess the world’s greatest power, yet must avoid mortals, utterly ridiculous.
Saint Master, I think the so-called Holy Order should indeed be changed.”
With the emergence of this voice, another surge of Golden Core pressure rose.
Everyone looked over, only to see the speaker was a Supreme Elder of Bright Moon Sect.
“I also think that the so-called Holy Mountain prohibition indeed needs changing.”
“Saint Master, times have changed, sticking to old ways might be disadvantageous for our cultivation.”
“It seems your ideas align well with those of us, Mr. Qian.”
…
As these words were spoken, waves of powerful energy started appearing.
Everyone was shocked to find that the speakers were all Golden Core Realm True Men!
Waves of formidable Golden Core aura enveloped the giant stone platform and subtly pressed towards the three Saint Masters at the stone platform’s center.
It seemed there was a sign of joining forces against them.
The giant stone platform fell into silence instantly, with no one daring to speak.
“Hmph!”
Even the three Saint Masters never anticipated that events would suddenly evolve like this.
Somewhat caught off guard by this, overwhelmed by so much combined Golden Core aura pressure, they couldn’t fully resist for a moment, and collectively retreated slightly.
A movement so subtle was, of course, not overlooked by the attending strong cultivators.
Immediately, a Golden Core Realm expert’s eyes lit brightly.
That Meng Dian from Guiyuan Sect no longer held back, his aura surged, suddenly oppressing the three Saint Masters!
This action by Meng Dian naturally provoked reactions from other Golden Core Realm cultivators as well.
They stopped probing, and all propelled their own auras, crushing towards the three Saint Masters!
Such was the combined action of so many Golden Core Realm that directly forced the three Saint Masters to continuously retreat.
Finally, the First Saint Master still managed to form a spell, a yellow glow emerged, enveloping him and the Second and Third Saint Masters, and only then stabilized their positions.
