Chapter 131: 126 Chapter Return_4
Su Yaoyu, Su Yaoshuang, and Su Yaoqin looked at each other in a moment of mutual consternation.
These words were truly too weighty for them.
They needed time to digest them.
And Su Yaoxue didn't rush them.
She had a premonition that Alkaid...
was gradually drawing a line between himself and others, to pursue what he wanted to pursue.
He wouldn't stay in the Su Family forever, acting as its guardian deity.
Therefore, they themselves must strengthen as soon as possible, to truly have the strength that befits the Su Family's current status.
Otherwise, should anything unforeseen befall Alkaid, everything they currently possessed would be like a castle in the air, ready to collapse at any moment.
The solemn atmosphere lingered for a while until Su Yaoyu, as the eldest sister, began to grasp something.
"Yaoxue, do you mean..."
"Don't ask me, I don't know. I'm just used to thinking about the worst possible scenarios and preparing for them in advance,"
Su Yaoxue cut in.
"Then what... should we do?"
Su Yaoyu asked.
"It's not about what we should do, but..."
Su Yaoxue tilted her head, looking at her: "It's whether you're willing to do it. If you are, then follow me and learn. Whatever I do, you do."
If her sisters were too naive, then they shouldn't bother using their minds.
"To train in martial arts... like you, following Alkaid?"
"Yes."
Su Yaoxue nodded: "In any situation, the most reliable thing is the ability you possess, your martial power."
...
The next day.
Alkaid had a few more disciples to teach.
Though slightly surprised, he didn't say anything.
Teaching one person was just the same as teaching several.
He wouldn't forcefully demand others to do anything, but if they took initiative on their own, he had no objections to lending them a helping hand.
Heaven helps those who help themselves.
...
Time passed in this seemingly "ordinary" process.
Half a year later, the Stellar Sect finished maintenance and performed a new round of calibration.
Another half year, and once the calibration of the Stellar Sect was complete, it was qualified for reactivation.
However...
Alkaid was in no hurry to reactivate it.
He left Emperor Yu's Mountain, accompanied by Kong Fang, who had consumed numerous Nurturing Soul Pills and whose cultivation had skyrocketed to that of a Primordial Chaos Martial Saint, Divine Intent Martial Saint Lv Tianhe, and others, arriving at the location of the Stellar Sect on Jade Capital Mountain.
However, they didn't stay near the Stellar Sect. Instead, they were hundreds of miles away in an underground shelter.
At the location of the Stellar Sect, hundreds of nuclear bombs, able to be detonated in various ways, had been installed.
One should know that even Great Cultivators, who had forged a Dao Foundation, couldn't withstand the direct refinement by the Great Sun True Fire; at most, they could intercept it in advance and manage to dodge it with high velocity.
The hundreds of nuclear bombs essentially ensured control of the situation even if Great Cultivators emerged immediately after the Stellar Sect was activated.
...
"The appointed time has come."
In the underground facility, Alkaid glanced at his watch.
"A slight discrepancy in timing is also normal."
Next to him was Xie Tiandao, the newly appointed President of the Snow Dragon Federation.
"Is there a possibility that the other side no longer has the environment to activate the Stellar Sect? Are they waiting for us to activate it on this side?"
Kong Fang suggested.
Alkaid pondered for a moment and glanced at Xie Tiandao: "Then let's activate the Stellar Sect. At worst, we can wait another year."
Upon hearing this, Xie Tiandao nodded.
With the orders issued, all departments mobilized.
At the same time, a new team composed of twenty Martial Saints was also ready, planning to replace Xie Yushu, Ji Pingtian, and others, to continue exploring inside the Stellar Sect.
A day later, at the peak of the Stellar Sect's activation process, which nearly illuminated Jade Capital Mountain with its brilliance, the Stellar Sect was officially connected.
And almost immediately after its activation, the personnel monitoring the Stellar Sect's activities began to shout.
"According to observations, there are life forms passing through the Stellar Sect..."
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone tensed up.
Alkaid looked at the button in front of him, ready to activate the nuclear weapons buried around the Stellar Sect at the first sign of any incident, to annihilate the invaders.
While everyone was watching intently, almost without blinking, at last...
Several silhouettes appeared through the Stellar Sect.
When they saw the familiar faces emerging, everyone, utterly relieved, exhaled deeply.
"It's Xie Yushu!"
"Zong Yan has arrived as well."
"Thank goodness, they survived a year over there, unharmed." Explore hidden tales at empire
A series of suppressed cheers spread throughout the underground facility.
Xie Tiandao immediately ordered, "Give them the communication devices, connect the line; we need to know the exact situation on the Artifact Sect's side."
Not long after the order was issued, Xie Yushu, Zong Yan, and a few others received communication devices in their hands.
Upon connection, Xie Yushu immediately delivered the two pieces of news everyone was most eager to hear.
"We have won the war against the Moon Demon Empire."
"The Artifact Sect... is no more."
