Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 870 - 11: Bullying the Weak by Being Strong

Chapter 870 -11: Bullying the Weak by Being Strong

Kunlun Heavenly Pillar, inside Jade Void Palace.

Ziwei Master is currently holding a meeting of elders, for no other reason than Shushan has once again sent an invitation intending to hold a new round of the Orthodox Sect’s grand competition, requesting that the Kunlun Taiqing Sect dispatch cultivators to attend.

This grand competition is different from the last one held in White Jade Capital. In addition to the competition among Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, there is a separate event for Golden Core Realm cultivators, making it essentially two competitions, though taking place concurrently.

Such arrangements are almost transparent in intention: they aim to have Tai Yin Sword Master Qing Heng True Person defeat Kunlun’s Daoist Heart Clarity Changgeng True Person.

For Kunlun, receiving such a request feels like swallowing a fly—utterly nauseating.

If Changgeng True Person were to go, the chances of defeating the Tai Yin Sword Master seem very slim.

After all, the Tai Yin Summoning Sword is one of the two Fuxi Swords, and its rank far surpasses ordinary Flying Swords. In the past, even Long Eyebrow Immortal, wielding the Dual Polarity Dust Sword, was no match for the Tai Yin Sword Master. How could Changgeng True Person possibly win?

If Changgeng True Person doesn’t go, it’s easy to foresee that Shushan will take this chance to strengthen their momentum and diminish the stature of Kunlun Taiqing Sect as “the number one sect under heaven”.

Thus, neither going nor abstaining is a good option. Everyone is extremely frustrated, and yet we still have to feign smiles with the Shushan envoys, making Kunlun elders feel particularly aggrieved.

Ultimately, it comes down to being inferior in strength, otherwise why would we be trapped in such a difficult situation?

Of course, no one blames Changgeng True Person, as the Tai Yin Summoning Sword is simply too frightening, beyond human power to contend with. If blame must be assigned, it falls on Kunlun for not having the auspicious fate of Shushan in producing a lucky individual like Qing Heng True Person.

The envoy sent by Shushan this time is Jinghua True Person, the chief disciple of the Jade Capital Elder.

This True Person, whom Ling Yunpo has dealt with several times, epitomizes the typical Shushan brash character: upright, straightforward, and inflexible.

When Kunlun wished to delay by saying “We need to discuss this thoroughly before replying to Shushan,” he directly responded, “My sect orders me to take Kunlun’s reply back to our sect,” and settled in Kunlun, clearly determined to wait for a response.

Having no choice, Kunlun elders had to convene to discuss how to deal with Shushan’s challenge.

Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian are outside requesting an audience. Just as Ziwei Master was about to ask them to wait outside, suddenly an elder suggested:

“Changgeng True Person is always wise. Faced with this dilemma, perhaps he might have an ingenious solution.”

Ziwei Master thought this over and then had people summon Changgeng True Person and Qiong Ying True Person.

Upon entering the main hall, they saw the elders gathered together, each one with a solemn and stern expression, as if Kunlun was about to face a great calamity.

“Master,” Qiu Changtian cleared his throat, about to speak, when he heard Ziwei Master, looking rather irritated, raise his hand and say, “Changgeng arrives just in time. Now that Shushan has invited our Kunlun to the grand competition, what do you think we should do?”

Qiu Changtian was slightly baffled, then an elder stepped forward and explained the situation with the Shushan envoy.

In short, the Shushan Shangqing Faction is provoking us again!

“Since it’s the grand competition of the Orthodox Sect, we must attend,” Xu Yinglian calmly said, “Kunlun is the leader of the Orthodox Sect; both morally and logically, we have no reason to refuse.”

Her composed demeanor left the Kunlun elders puzzled.

Does this mean it is Changgeng True Person’s intention?

Even if the opponent has the Tai Yin Summoning Sword, Changgeng True Person is still willing to fight for the sect’s honor?

Thinking this, everyone couldn’t help but respect him deeply.

The elders were confused, but how could Ziwei Master not know Xu Yinglian’s character? This girl always speaks her mind, and it’s possible that she hasn’t even discussed it with Changgeng True Person beforehand.

Thus, he said calmly:

“Not only must we go, but we must also win, otherwise it’s better not to go at all.”

“Indeed.” Qiu Changtian nodded and said, “That is the principle.”

Seeing Changgeng True Person nod, the elders took it as his voluntary request to fight, and for a moment their eyebrows were relaxed, and they laughed:

“Sect Leader, with this, the difficult problem is easily resolved!”

What does it mean for a difficulty to be easily resolved? The expression on Ziwei Sect Leader’s face darkened.

Do you think that if Changgeng True Person voluntarily requests to fight, then if he loses, it’s his fault, right? A bunch of fools, if Changgeng True Person is defeated, all of Kunlun will be disgraced!

He said discontentedly, flicking his sleeve:

“Changgeng, if you face the Tai Yin Sword Master, how confident are you really?”

Qiu Changtian then laughed loudly and said:

“Although the Tai Yin Summoning Sword is a divine sword, it is not easily wielded by a Golden Core Realm Cultivator. I think Qing Heng True Person might not be able to bring out all the power of the divine sword.”

“Even so, within the same realm, he almost has no match.” Ziwei Sect Leader intentionally made the Tai Yin Sword Master sound more formidable, so as to persuade his disciple to know the difficulties and retreat, to avoid being forcefully put up against the Tai Yin Sword Master by the elders, “Without using the sword’s abilities, with the sheer sharpness of the Tai Yin Summoning Sword itself, how can the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword compete with it?”

“Changgeng, you must understand. If you participate in that great competition of the Golden Core Realm, you can only win, not lose.”

“Even if you tie with Qing Heng True Person, there will be people who will use this to criticize our sect, saying that our sect is no longer the leader of the orthodox path… Do you understand?”

Ziwei Sect Leader spoke so straightforwardly, Qiu Changtian naturally could not continue to boost the Invincible Character Setting’s synchronization value, otherwise, wouldn’t it be deliberately going against his master?

He then nodded and said:

“Understood, hence I will not participate in the grand competition, and will not directly confront the Tai Yin Sword Master.”

The Kunlun elders were shocked, as he had just volunteered to fight, how could he backtrack now?

Thus, an elder spoke out:

“Changgeng, with Shushan issuing a challenge, you, being the first Golden Core True Person of Kunlun, really cannot refuse to fight. It would still attract criticism!”

“Senior, there’s no need to worry.” Qiu Changtian smiled and said, “But you can tell Shushan, I have recently advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, and cannot participate in the Golden Core Realm competition.”

Everyone: ……

In the main hall, it was almost silent for about thirty breaths of time, so quiet that one could nearly hear a pin drop.

Nascent Soul? What Nascent Soul? Hadn’t you just entered the Obscure Weave Rank not long ago? How did you suddenly succeed in your tribulation?

And the Heavenly Tribulation for a First Grade Golden Core, shouldn’t it shock the heavens and earth, scorches mountains and boil seas, known by all around?

Why haven’t we received any news?

“Hahahahaha!” Ziwei Sect Leader suddenly laughed out loud, breaking the awkward silence, “So that’s how it is!”

“Since Changgeng has already advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, naturally he cannot compete with Qing Heng True Person who remains in the Golden Core Realm, otherwise wouldn’t he be accused of bullying the weak?”

The Kunlun elders suddenly realized, and they no longer cared to inquire when exactly Qiu Changtian had undergone his tribulation, and immediately echoed:

“Exactly, exactly, as the leader of the orthodox path, how can we bully the weak?”
