May Heaven Bless Vast Heaven!
Gu Mingchao's face was full of determination.
It is Three Continents that Gu Mingchao is following the Dao of Watching and Waiting, and some even say that Gu Mingchao's achievements today are all due to his ability to Watch Quietly as Things Change.
However, only outsiders believed this; no one in the Vast Heaven Sect actually thought so.
Gu Mingchao, the current Gu Mingchao of the Vast Heaven Sect, is undoubtedly the most outstanding among all the sect leaders in the history of the Vast Heaven Sect.
Gu Mingchao earned his position as the number one in the world through his own abilities, not by Watch Quietly as Things Change others.
From his youth to the present, Gu Mingchao has had too many legendary titles.
Sword Immortal Gu Mingchao... The Number One Swordsman Gu Mingchao... Vast Heaven Sect Gu Mingchao...
Regardless of the title, Gu Mingchao represents the ultimate, something that cannot be surpassed.
Even if we compare the tenth generation Great Emperor Haotian to Gu Mingchao would still be superior.
It is true that the Vast Heaven Sect is the number one Vast Heaven Sect in the world, but in the past, its position was not so secure. Every year, countless forces wanted to challenge the Vast Heaven Sect and take away its position as the number one sect in the world.
Countless times, it was Gu Mingchao's heroic efforts that allowed the Vast Heaven Sect to maintain its position as the number one sect in the world.
It's not that Gu Mingchao prefers to Watch Quietly as Things Change; rather, the Vast Heaven Sect has reached a point where he no longer needs to Gu Mingchao.
In the current Vast Heaven Sect, who can force Gu Mingchao to take action?
Or rather, who is qualified to make Gu Mingchao take action?
Was there a problem with Xinghe's decision-making, or were the Great Sages simply incapable of fighting?
If the sect leader has to make all the decisions, then this sect is bound to fail.
The Vast Heaven Sect has gotten back on track. Each palace has its own laws and regulations, and Chu Xinghe always steps forward when it comes to important matters concerning the sect.
Therefore, Gu Mingchao doesn't need to give any rash orders; he just needs to Watch Quietly as Things Change and wait.
It may seem that Gu Mingchao Watch Quietly as Things Change, but in reality, it reflects his trust in the sect, in Xinghe, and in everyone.
This shows Gu Mingchao's broad-mindedness.
Gu Mingchao never restricts anyone just because they are outstanding; on the contrary, he provides them with even greater support because no matter how outstanding someone is, they are still a member of the Vast Heaven Sect.
His excellence also represents the excellence of the Vast Heaven Sect.
Some outsiders even say that Gu Mingchao doesn't care about any affairs at the Vast Heaven Sect on a daily basis, and is like a mascot.
From an outsider's perspective, it seems that way.
In reality, Gu Mingchao was like the Sea Stabilizer of the sect. His existence was the greatest guarantee for the Vast Heaven Sect. No matter who wanted to do anything to the Vast Heaven Sect, Gu Mingchao would always be an insurmountable obstacle for them.
Today, Gu Mingchao, when he gets serious, has shown the whole world just how impressive the leader of the number one sect in the world truly is!
Once Gu Mingchao uttered his words, no one dared to question the sect leader's decision.
Without any discussion or research, everyone from the Grand Elder to any disciple of the sect acted according to Gu Mingchao's instructions.
Countless massive resources converged into a long river and frantically poured into the Spirit Gathering Formation. The light pillars of the Spirit Gathering Formation were now tearing outwards like a storm. At this moment, the Spirit Gathering Formation seemed to be breaking through the sealing power of the Heavenly Dao to absorb the Spirit Power from the outside world and incorporate it into the Haotian Mountain Range to become the spiritual root of the Haotian Mountain Range!
The Spirit Gathering Formation grew increasingly violent and powerful, but the barrier formed by the Heavenly Dao acted like an absolute domain, firmly restricting its power.
With the Haotian Mountain Range as the boundary, the Vast Heaven Sect seemed to be isolated from the Three Continents at this time.
No matter how much the Spirit Gathering Formation absorbs, it cannot obtain any more power from the outside world!
"Continue!" Gu Mingchao spoke again, and the amount of resources invested by the Vast Heaven Sect became increasingly larger!
The terrifying vortex of the Spirit Gathering Formation was now giving those in the Haotian Mountain Range the feeling of being engulfed by Spirit Power!
As the Spirit Gathering Formation of the Haotian Mountain Range grew increasingly violent, cracks seemed to appear in the surrounding heaven and earth, and the expanding power began to collide with the power of the Heavenly Dao in the air!
No one knows how many resources the Vast Heaven Sect has invested, but in this battle, the Vast Heaven Sect has staked everything!
"All resources of the Spirit Crane Palace, throw them in!" Feng Fei led all the disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect's Spirit Crane Palace to begin throwing all the resources that Spirit Crane Palace could offer into the Spirit Gathering Formation.
The massive amount of resources made the Spirit Gathering Formation even more powerful... This power even pushed the barrier formed by the Heavenly Dao outwards by a certain distance!
But the Power of the Heavenly Dao remains unbroken!
"All of the Thunder Palace's resources, invest!"
The disciples of the Thunder Palace also began to invest resources...
Then came Hill Forest Palace... Beast Taming Palace... Everlasting Spring Palace... Dark Moon Palace... Nether Snake Palace...
All the resources of the various palaces of the Vast Heaven Sect were frantically poured into the Spirit Gathering Formation Spirit Gathering Formation Array, which had now turned golden!
As the Vast Heaven Sect invests more and more resources, countless dark clouds have gathered from all directions. These dark clouds are not meant to turn into lightning tribulations, but rather form an absolute domain of dark clouds around the Haotian Mountain Range!
This is a showdown between the Vast Heaven Sect and the Heavenly Dao!
At this moment, as long as you are in the Haotian Mountain Range, whether you are an unparalleled expert or an ordinary Rogue Cultivator, you will be deeply shocked by what you see before you.
To defy the Heavenly Dao with human strength... to confront the will of Heavenly Dao head-on with human strength...
Throughout history, only the Vast Heaven Sect has dared to do such a thing!
However, with the increasing investment of resources from the Vast Heaven Sect, although the Heavenly Dao was pushed outwards by the power of the Vast Heaven Sect, the Power of the Heavenly Dao still seemed to have locked everything here, and could not be shaken!
"Human strength is ultimately powerless against the heavens!"
"The Heavenly Dao cannot be defied..."
"No one can defeat the will of Heavenly Dao..."
Countless people were sighing in amazement, but the Vast Heaven Sect paid no heed to any of their sighs. At this moment, everyone in the Vast Heaven Sect shared only one belief: victory was inevitable. Even though their opponent was the Heavenly Dao, the Vast Heaven Sect still believed they would win this battle!
All the resources of each palace were invested in the Spirit Gathering Formation, but the Heavenly Dao Barrier still could not be broken!
The elders of each palace also began to invest all their resources into the Spirit Gathering Formation, but the Heavenly Dao seemed to be welded shut, and refused to let the Vast Heaven Sect break through the barrier.
"Disciples of all palaces! Follow me and contribute your resources!" Ma Liang stepped forward from the crowd, and under Ma Liang leadership, all the inner disciples contributed their resources.
Despite the influx of abundant resources, Heavenly Dao still refuses to open a door to the Holy Land for the Vast Heaven Sect!
"All outer disciples! Bring out your resources!" Liu Bo led the many outer disciples and brought out all the resources they had accumulated over the years.
"Miner disciples! Bring out all your resources!" Qin Xiangqian gave the order, and the miner disciples brought out all their resources.
"All deacons and stewards... bring out the resources!"
The deacons and managers from all sides did not stop either, and all resources were invested into the Vast Heaven Sect's Spirit Gathering Formation.
The Spirit Gathering Formation had now transformed into a massive sphere, from which lightning continuously surged, tearing at the surrounding Heavenly Dao barrier like tentacles.
But the barrier of Heavenly Dao's Dao is too powerful... it seems truly beyond human capability to shake!
The Vast Heaven Sect has almost exhausted all the resources it could muster, yet the Heavenly Dao barrier remains unbroken... At this moment, the Heavenly Dao seems to be telling the world that it will not allow the Vast Heaven Sect to set foot in the Holy Land.
The Vast Heaven Sect even brought out all its hidden resources... All available resources have been put into the Spirit Gathering Formation, but the Spirit Gathering Formation still couldn't break through the Heavenly Dao's blockade.
One by one, spirit stones disappeared into the Spirit Gathering Formation, and the number of spirit stones that the Vast Heaven Sect could provide dwindled...
The mountains of spirit stones vanished...
As the last spirit stone mountain dwindled in number, a question arose in the minds of everyone in the Vast Heaven Sect... Could it be... that human power truly cannot shake the Heavenly Dao?
Are the rules of Heavenly Dao truly unbreakable?
Gu Mingchao personally threw the last spirit stones into the Spirit Gathering Formation... However, as Gu Mingchao's spirit stones dwindled, the hope of the Vast Heaven Sect becoming a holy land seemed to grow increasingly slim.
The last one hundred Nine-Colored Spirit Stones... the last eighty...
Fifty pills...
Thirty...
Ten...
The moment Gu Mingchao held the last spirit stone in his hand, a deep look of despair appeared on his face. He could feel that the power of the Heavenly Dao Gu Mingchao still increasing, and that the power of the Heavenly Dao had completely locked down the Vast Heaven Sect... This final path to the holy land might truly be blocked for the Vast Heaven Sect.
Gu Mingchao held the last Nine-Colored Spirit Stone, but he hesitated to put it into the water. He understood that this might be destiny, the destiny that Gu Mingchao Vast Heaven Sect would not enter the Holy Land!
The Heavenly Dao had sealed the fate of the Vast Heaven Sect; even though the Vast Heaven Sect fought with everything, it ultimately lost.
Holding the Nine-Colored Spirit Stone in his hand, Gu Mingchao's eyes were filled with a bitter smile and helplessness.
Everyone in the Haotian Mountain Range looked at Gu Mingchao with a helpless expression. Perhaps in the eyes of many outsiders, the Vast Heaven Sect's final madness was a waste of countless resources.
But at this moment, no one in the Vast Heaven Sect blamed the Sect Master for his actions, because the Sect Master's decision represented the decision of everyone in the Vast Heaven Sect.
So what if Heavenly Dao doesn't allow it? Then our Vast Heaven Sect will defy Heavenly Dao's will... Even if we lose, at least we dare to contend with Heavenly Dao!
The Grand Elder sighed softly... because he knew it was over... This was the fate of the Vast Heaven Sect; the Vast Heaven Sect was ultimately just one step away from becoming a holy land.
The heads of each palace also sighed, realizing that destiny had not sided with the Vast Heaven Sect this time!
Seeing the defeated Vast Heaven Sect, everyone sighed that fate is fate, and no matter what, human power can never overcome it!
Perhaps in this era, the Heavenly Dao no longer allows the birth of beings at the level of holy lands...
Gu Mingchao did not throw out the last Nine-Colored Spirit Stone in his hand, because he knew that even if he did, it would be meaningless.
Just as Gu Mingchao was about to put away the last of the Nine-Colored Spirit Stones, a voice came from beside Gu Mingchao.
"Sect Master... if this last spirit stone hasn't been used, then the outcome is still uncertain!"
Gu Mingchao looked up and saw that Chu Xinghe had already walked up to him.
Chu Xinghe reached out and took the Nine-Colored Spirit Stone from Gu Mingchao's hand, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the Vast Heaven Sect.
Chu Xinghe slowly spoke, "Everyone says that Heaven blesses Vast Heaven, and I guess this time... Heaven will bless Vast Heaven again. Do you believe it?"
Before anyone could answer, Chu Xinghe raised his arms and shouted, "God bless Vast Heaven!"
The cry of "Heavenly Blessing Vast Heaven" seemed to ignite the entire Vast Heaven Sect in an instant!
Ma Liang was the first to step forward and speak, "May Heaven bless Vast Heaven!"
Countless disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect cried out, "May Heaven bless Vast Heaven!"
The elders and heads of all the palaces also spoke up, "May Heaven bless Vast Heaven!"
"May God bless Vast Heaven!"
Countless voices of divine Vast Heaven reverberated throughout the Haotian Mountain Range.
Amidst countless cries for Vast Heaven's Blessing, Chu Xinghe's last Nine-Colored Spirit Stone transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the Spirit Gathering Formation. The moment he threw out the Nine-Colored Spirit Stone, Chu Xinghe prayed to Heaven for the first time in his life!
May Heaven bless Vast Heaven!
