Chapter 1986
"Yaoguang! And everyone present!" Jue Wuqing frowned sharply, his gaze first falling on the Yaoguang Holy Lord, whose face was ashen, then sweeping over the other Immortal Kings in the void. His voice was deafening, "How much more hatred will these outdated systems left over from the Immortal Ancient Era generate before you will finally give up?"
He took a deep breath and continued speaking loudly, each word carrying immense weight:
"In the late Immortal Ancient period, when the major holy lands were newly established, our foundations were weak. Faced with the arduous tasks assigned by the Eternal Supremes at the Imperial Pass and the Second Line of Defense, our ancestors had no choice but to resort to this 'forcing growth' strategy. But what about now?"
"The sinister infiltrators hiding behind the cultivation civilization have long been eliminated. We, the so-called holy lands, have gradually become accustomed to seeking out peerless women and cultivating them into top-tier furnaces, all so that our disciples can quickly improve their strength and safely transcend tribulations to become immortals!"
Jue Wuqing's voice suddenly rose, tinged with heartache: "Millions of years have passed, and the Imperial Pass is as solid as a mountain. No more of the strange races have escaped beyond the second line of defense! Shouldn't we abolish this evil method of the 'Holy Maiden's Furnace'?"
His gaze swept across the warships below. Many of the holy maidens who had been born from the furnace vessels trembled and hung their heads, not daring to speak. Meanwhile, the holy sons who were qualified to use the furnace vessels all had ugly faces and were secretly gritting their teeth and cursing. This heartless immortal king was clearly cutting off their chance to become immortals!
"Of course, I have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of your sects." Jue Wuqing's tone hardened as he changed his words. "But if this matter involves the disciples of my Jueqing Holy Land, then I must intervene!"
"Over the past million years, the Jueqing, Zifu, and Jiuqu families have long since abolished the system of using the Holy Maiden as a furnace! But what about you? You have used this evil method to frantically expand the foundation of your disciples over the past million years! Because of your forced growth, how many losses and humiliations have my disciples suffered when they ventured into the Land of Fallen Gods beyond the realm? Don't you know that?"
At this point, Jue Wuqing's eyes were filled with contempt as he swept over the silent Yao Guang Saint Lord and sneered, "But in the past million years, how many of your disciples, 'cultivated' through the furnace method, have truly ascended to the Immortal King realm or achieved the Dao Lord realm?"
"not a single one!"
“A hundred years ago, Lu Xueqi fused with the Nine Aperture Exquisite Heart and stirred the void. Which of us Immortal Kings who had not yet gone into seclusion did not have the thought of seeking guidance and taking on disciples?”
"You, Yao Guang, took advantage of your distance and beat me to it, snatching her away!" The ruthless voice was filled with disappointment.
"We thought that you would nurture such a gifted disciple and leave behind a seed for Yao Guang to become an Immortal King or even a Dao Lord... But we never expected that you would still treat this disciple, who has the innate Yin-Yang Holy Body and has fused with the Nine Aperture Exquisite Heart, as a furnace!"
The more Jue Wuqing spoke, the angrier he became. But when he thought of the potential Chen Xuan had just displayed, he suppressed his anger—this matter could not be easily let go.
"According to the rules left by our ancestors, you should hand over Lu Xueqi now and give her her freedom!" He stared at the Holy Lord of Yaoguang and shouted, word by word.
"Hmph! You want me to release it, so I'll release it?" The Holy Lord of Yaoguang finally couldn't hold back and erupted, his holy light surging. "My Yaoguang has been passed down for millions of years. How could you possibly shake its foundation? Do you think my Yaoguang would be afraid of your Ruthless Jue Wuqing!"
"Yao Guang!" Jue Wuqing suddenly took a step forward, the void rippled with his action. "In front of so many disciples and juniors, are you really going to go to such extremes? Do you really think I won't fight Yao Guang to the death for the sake of a single disciple?"
"Go ahead and try!" The Holy Master of Yao Guang was also forced into a corner, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. "My clone may not be your match, but you can't stop me from taking away my disciples and Lu Xueqi!"
"You...you're getting worse as you get older!" Jue Wuqing was both angry and anxious. His gaze swept over Chen Xuan, who was narrowing his eyes on the sword-fighting platform in the distance, and then turned to Yao Guang, shouting angrily, "He's just a disciple! Logically and morally, things have come to this point, why do you have to make things difficult for two juniors?"
