Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World-Chapter 793: The Eternal One Sect Is Coming To The Door (Part 5)

It wasn’t that he feared the Eternal One Sect obtaining the complete version of the Eight Gods Blade and becoming a threat to the Green Lotus Sect.

The Eight Gods Blade was indeed powerful, but the Green Lotus Sect had secret techniques that were even stronger than that, and not just anyone could master the Eight Gods Blade.

Sect Leader Qing was reminded of something his grand-uncle had once told him.

He had asked his grand-uncle about the chances of Elder Yen Mah fully mastering the Eighth Strike of the Eight Gods Blade.

He still remembered Master Lian’s response.

"The Eight Gods Blade is indeed powerful, but it’s not suitable for continuous practice," Master Lian said while standing on the top of the mountain, blending with the snow-covered world around him.

"But Elder Yen Mah practiced the Eight Gods Blade for nearly ten thousand years and didn’t have any problems."

"Think carefully, when did Elder Yen Mah create the Eight Gods Blade?"

"I remember it was during the Body Integration stage that Elder Yen Mah, spent his entire life to develop the Eight Gods Blade," Sect Leader Qing answered respectfully.

"Correct. At that time, Elder Yen Mah was in the Body Integration stage, with a nearly limitless lifespan. Using the Eight Gods Blade did him little harm, but it wasn’t without cost. The Eight Gods Blade relies on burning spiritual energy to unleash its power."

Sect Leader Qing’s expression changed, "Spiritual energy is the foundation of a cultivator. If it burns, it’s like consuming their lifespan. So, does the Eight Gods Blade have such a significant drawback? Then the disciples of the Eternal One Sect who practice this technique, wouldn’t they..."

"No, not exactly. Elder Yen Mah later modified the Eight Gods Blade. The version that passed down to Eternal One Sect’s disciples is the revised one, with reduced power to lessen its negative impact."

"So, that’s it" Sect Leader Qing nodded his head, but what he really wanted to know was the likelihood of mastering the final move.

Whether by intuition or coincidence, Master Lian continued, "The modified version of the Eight Gods Blade should actually be called the Seven Gods Blade."

This caught Sect Leader Qing’s attention.

"Are you saying that the Eight Gods Blade that the Eternal One Sect currently practices doesn’t actually have the final move And that seventh move is the limit?"

Master Lian nodded his head, "Correct. As for the complete version of the Eight Gods Blade, even Elder Yen Mah couldn’t fully master the final move—or rather, he couldn’t complete it."

"Why is that?" Sect Leader Qing asked, puzzled.

"I’ve discussed this with Tian Wuya. If the final move were fully realized, its power would be dozens, maybe even a hundred times stronger than the seventh move."

Sect Leader Qing took a sharp breath.

He knew the power of the seventh move—though it might not kill a fellow Body Integration stage cultivator, it could seriously wound them if used unexpectedly.

If the final move could indeed multiply that power by dozens or even a hundred times, it would easily annihilate a Body Integration stage cultivator in a single blow.

Such a secret technique would be incredibly powerful, but the difficulty in mastering it would likely be just as immense.

"So, did Elder Yen Mah ever manage to master the final move?" Despite his thoughts, Sect Leader Qing couldn’t help but ask this crucial question.

Master Lian shook his head.

As Sect Leader Qing’s excitement grew, he heard a simple response, "I don’t know."

Sect Leader Qing: "..."

Master Lian, aren’t you supposed to be all-knowing and all-powerful?

"If Elder Yen Mah had fully mastered the final move, his downfall might have been related to it, but during that time, we didn’t hear of any powerful devil being killed."

Sect Leader Qing’s expression shifted slightly, "You mean that using the final move of the Eight God’s Blade you’ll die?"

"The Eight Gods Blade technique relies heavily on burning spiritual energy. If the final move were to be fully realized, the amount of spiritual energy required would be immense. It might not necessarily cause death, but it would definitely result in severe self-harm."

At that moment, Sect Leader Qing understood.

Burning spiritual energy and life force to gain overwhelming power—anyone might choose to avoid it.

But, no one could say for sure whether Elder Yen Mah actually did it, except for him.

Perhaps another person who might know would be Amalia, but that would depend on whether she had the Eight Gods Blade or just the Seven Gods Blade.

"Sect Leader Qing, what do you think?" Timothy Tau asked urgently, seeing that Sect Leader Qing had remained silent for a long time.

Sect Leader Qing snapped back to reality and looked seriously at Timothy Tau, saying, "Elder Tau, have you ever considered that the Eight Gods Blade that Amalia possesses might actually be the Seven Gods Blade?"

Timothy Tau’s face instantly changed.

"What is the Seven Gods Blade?" Geling Yan and Judy Yung asked, equally puzzled.

"How does Sect Leader Qing know about this?" Timothy Tau asked, his face stern.

This was a closely guarded secret in the Eternal One Sect, known to only a few disciples.

Facing Timothy Tau’s cautious gaze, Sect Leader Qing smiled slightly, "Elder Tau, have you forgotten? Our Master Lian is all-knowing and all-powerful. Do you really think anything could be hidden from him?"

Timothy Tau’s face darkened, "So, none of these offerings can tempt the Green Lotus Sect?" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Sect Leader Qing sighed, "I thought Elder Tau was a reasonable person."

"This concerns the future of our sect," Timothy Tau said calmly, expressing his stance.

How could they trust that the Green Lotus Sect wasn’t lying?

It was an unsolvable dilemma.

The Green Lotus Sect had no interest in using the Eternal One Sect’s secret technique, especially since it was flawed.

But the Eternal One Sect couldn’t believe they weren’t tempted.

No matter what the Green Lotus Sect said, they were convinced it was a lie.
