Chapter 416: One Light and One Dark
"The best, the middle and the worst strategies...complement each other and can be implemented at the same time!"
"Grand Elder, choose a few disciples to follow you, open the sect's storehouse, no matter what good things are in it, take them out, and go to Wanfamen..."
"If I remember correctly, you and the master of Wanfamen should be old acquaintances!" said the head of the giant sword.
"Indeed, we are old acquaintances. More than a hundred years ago, we once joined forces to kill monsters in the Monster Mountain...but the little affection in the past is probably...besides, you and I both know that the one who can really make the decision in Wanfamen is not him..." said the great elder with a wry smile.
"It doesn't matter, it's okay to have some relationship. At the very least, we can find out the true attitude of Wanfamen towards our giant sword sect!" said the head of the giant sword.
"But master...there is no good thing in our storehouse...you forgot that in that battle, the ancestor Qinglin personally took action and plundered our giant sword sect's thousand-year collection..." said the great elder hesitantly.
"Take whatever you have... I still have some spiritual stones and treasures here, take them all. Now we can only do our best and leave it to fate!" The head of the Giant Sword Sect said, and directly took off his storage bag and handed it to the elder.
"Master, how can this be done? This is your personal property..." The elder was shocked.
"What's personal or not... I have no children and have lived in the Giant Sword Sect for more than a hundred years. This is my home!"
"In order to protect this home, I can even sacrifice my life. What are these things on hand?" The head of the Giant Sword Sect shook his head.
These originally belonged to the sect. If he passed away one day, it would be better to return his personal belongings to the sect!
"Master!" The elders said excitedly.
"Okay, stop talking and listen to my arrangements!"
"Great elder, you go to Wanfamen and set off as soon as possible!"
"Second elder, third elder, fourth elder, you three will implement the middle strategy and go to Hongchen Valley, Lieyan Sect, and Huichun Valley respectively, and strive to form an offensive and defensive alliance with them!"
"Fifth elder, sixth elder, you two... implement the seed-keeping plan!"
"Remember, in order to maintain the stability of the sect, the seed-keeping plan must be carried out in secret and must not be known to everyone..."
"After all, even ants try to survive, let alone immortal cultivators?"
"If the upper and middle strategies don't work, and Wanfamen insists on destroying us, there must be disciples left to live and die with the sect!" The master of the Giant Sword Sect said in a deep voice.
Except for those who plan to keep the seed, the rest...must stay and live and die with the sect!
"Yes, Master!"
Several elders received the order and set off immediately, while the fifth and sixth elders stayed where they were...
"Master, for the seed-keeping plan, what principles should be used for selection? And how many people should be selected?" asked the fifth elder.
"Choose a hundred people, give priority to those with the best qualifications, and then each of the elders' descendants can be squeezed in one!"
"These hundred people need to be divided into ten teams, each team will be led by a foundation-building cultivator, carrying some of the sect's assets and reproduced classics, and hiding in different places. There must be no contact between these ten pairs of people, be careful to prevent exposure, the specific details, you two will discuss it, understand?" said the master of the giant sword.
"Understood!" The two nodded at the same time.
"Okay, you guys go and do it..." The master of the giant sword nodded slowly.
Not long after the Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder left, another person quietly entered the hall...
"Master, what do you want me to do?"
"Tenth Elder, if I remember correctly, you are eighty-three years old this year?" said the Master of Giant Sword.
"Yes!" The Tenth Elder nodded.
"At the age of eighty-three, you have already cultivated to the late stage of foundation building... If it weren't for the fact that the ancestor felt that his life span was coming to an end, I'm afraid he would have cultivated you as a golden elixir seed long ago!" The Master of Giant Sword sighed.
There is almost only one golden elixir in each generation of the Giant Sword Sect, not only the Giant Sword Sect, but also the other major sects.
It is very expensive to cultivate a golden elixir. According to convention, only after the previous generation of golden elixir is four hundred years old, will the next generation of golden elixir seeds be cultivated to save resources. As for the geniuses who emerge in the middle, they can either only cultivate to the peak of foundation building, or they can only work hard on their own to fight for the hope of forming a elixir.
The Tenth Elder is such a person!
He has a chance to advance to the Golden Core stage, but the previous generation of ancestors is still young and is not in a hurry to cultivate the next generation of Golden Core...
"This is all fate..." said the Tenth Elder with a wry smile.
If he was born a few dozen or a hundred years later, he would definitely get the best training!
Of course, if he was really born late, he would not be able to join the Giant Sword Sect, because he is no longer alive...
"Fate? Maybe... Tenth Elder, I have a very important task to give you!" said the Giant Sword Sect Master.
"A very important task?" The Tenth Elder was quite surprised to hear this.
Aren't all the tasks arranged?
"Yes, a very important task, the seed-keeping plan!" said the Giant Sword Sect Master in a deep breath.
"What? Isn't this handed over to the Fifth and Sixth Elders?" The Tenth Elder was surprised.
"They are doing the seed-keeping plan in the open, and you... are responsible for executing the seed-keeping plan in the dark!" said the Giant Sword Sect Master.
One bright and one dark, ten teams in the open, their existence is to cover the team in the dark!
"This... I understand, Master, please give me your instructions!" The Tenth Elder couldn't help but take a deep breath after hearing this.
He knew that the Master was really thinking about the Giant Sword Sect!
In the past, he might have had some flaws, but now he is worthy of the position of the Master of the Giant Sword Sect!
"You go and choose people. I don't care who you choose, but the number cannot be too many... Just five... You have to personally accept them as disciples and teach them well... I will prepare a copy of all the classics in the sect for you!"
"In addition, there is a resource..."
"With the fifth and sixth elders covering you in public, your pressure should not be too great..."
"Also, this secret seed-keeping plan is known only to you, and no one else can tell it, understand?" said the head of the giant sword.
"Is the head afraid of traitors in the sect?" asked the tenth elder.
"At a critical moment, people's hearts are unsettled, and I have to act carefully. The more secretive this matter is, the safer you will be, understand?" said the head of the giant sword.
"Yes, I understand, I will definitely not disappoint the head of the sect!" said the tenth elder in a deep voice.
"Okay, go..." said the head of the giant sword with a light wave of his hand.
After a while, an unremarkable foundation-building cultivator entered the hall.
The head of the Giant Sword Sect repeated what he had said to the Tenth Elder before...
After this person left, another foundation-building cultivator entered the hall...
After a while, the head of the Giant Sword Sect rubbed his swollen head and said: "All three strategies have been used... The seed-keeping plan is also divided into one open and one secret. There are ten teams in the open and three teams in the secret..."
"If the Giant Sword Sect still cannot be passed on... the ancestors of all generations, I, Wan Tianming, have really tried my best..."
