Late Stage Core Formation

"Fellow Daoist Mu, what do you think of the recent situation in the Cultivation World?"

When the wine had reached its height, Lu Xuan drank a mouthful of Still True Sword Liquid and asked aloud.

"Is Daoist Lu referring to the invasion of the evil demons?"

"Although this old man's strength is ordinary, and I do not have much confidence in myself, I still have no small amount of confidence when it comes to repelling the evil demons."

Daoist Mu shook the wine cup in his hand. Rippling motes of light rose in the cup—countless tiny sword gleams fused into the spirit liquid.

"From what I understand, incidents such as evil demon invasions, while not common, are not unheard of. In the end, they were still resolved by the joint efforts of the major powers of the Cultivation World."

"So Daoist Lu need not worry over this."

He spoke to comfort Lu Xuan.

"Lu only feels that the evil demons invading this time are somewhat larger in scale."

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Mu, do you know about a similar encounter that occurred in the Eastern Wasteland several decades ago?"

"I have heard a little of it. I heard it was extremely tragic, causing the deaths of a great many cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland, like a purgatory on earth."

"But Daoist Lu may not understand the strength of the Central Continent Seven Domains very well."

"Just one Li Yang Domain alone is far stronger than the entire Eastern Wasteland. Even if the Sea Pavilion Merchant Guild were singled out, it would not necessarily be weaker than the Eastern Wasteland."

"So, when facing the same evil demon invasion, the responses of the two regions would differ as heaven and earth."

There was a hint of superiority in Daoist Mu's tone.
