Chapter 2381
With the Four-Step Dao Lord and the commander of the Battle of Destiny present in June, and with such a close fellow disciple, it would be a waste not to take the opportunity to find out the details of the Battle of Destiny.
Chen Xuan leaned forward slightly, his tone humble yet straightforward: "Senior Brother Liuyue, my fellow disciples and I are all arriving at the border of the Imperial Pass for the first time, and we are not very familiar with many details of the struggle for destiny. I wonder if Senior Brother could reveal a few things in advance?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dao Yi, Lu Xueqi and the others looked intently at June, their eyes full of anticipation—this concerned their future plans and safety on the battlefield, and could not be taken lightly.
June held the warm jade teacup between his fingertips, took a small sip of spiritual tea, and felt a faint Daoist charm linger in his throat as the tea went down. He smiled and said, "Junior Brother, what you want to ask about is the rules for accumulating merits and rewards and punishments in the battle for destiny, right?"
As a fourth-step Dao Lord, and with a deep understanding of human nature, Liu Yue had already seen through Chen Xuan's thoughts—such a monstrous genius always planned his actions carefully before acting, so how could he not care about merit and future prospects?
Chen Xuan scratched his head and revealed a hearty smile: "As expected of your senior brother, you saw through your junior brother's thoughts at a glance."
"Master, is there really a special reward system for merit in a war?" Zixia couldn't contain her curiosity and looked up at June, her eyes full of innocence.
"Hehe." June put down her teacup, her tone carrying the weight of years.
"Although the struggle for destiny is mainly fought by cultivators at the bottom of both sides, its rules are the ironclad laws passed down by the Immortal Ancient Emperor. This time, my Bright Moon Supreme Dojo lineage will be the commander-in-chief, leading the forces of all sides. If the younger generation of various realms and tribes can turn the tide of battle, reverse the defeat, or win key battles, their merits will be recorded by the master. After the war, they and their sects will be richly rewarded."
His gaze sharpened slightly, as if piercing through time and space to look back, and he slowly added: "However, you must remember that although the Flame Dragon Realm is the main gatekeeper this time, the main force on the battlefield is by no means the million-strong army of cultivators led by the disciples of your eight holy lands."
"Not us?" Qingxia paused slightly, her tone full of astonishment. "Then who exactly is the main force of the Flame Dragon Realm?"
Chen Xuan lowered his eyes and remained silent, his fingertips lightly tapping the table—he had long suspected this, and Dao Yi and the others also changed their expressions slightly, clearly having also noticed something amiss.
June smiled calmly, her gaze lingering briefly on Chen Xuan and Qiu Zixian, a hint of intriguing meaning hidden in her eyes: "Naturally, it is the army of cultivators from the Immortal Ancient Holy Land and the Supreme Holy Land, the cornerstones of the Flame Dragon Realm."
He paused, his tone tinged with a hint of melancholy:
"Legend has it that once, the Flame Dragon Realm also guarded the main pass, but apart from the two holy lands of Immortal Ancient and Supreme, the armies of the other eight major sects were all defeated, which ultimately led to the disastrous defeat of our cultivator civilization in that battle for destiny."
These words struck like a thunderbolt, and the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became heavy, even the aroma of the spirit tea seemed to fade.
The disciples of the Flame Dragon Realm were all deathly pale, their fingers clenched tightly, and not one of them could utter a word—this historical humiliation was so heavy that it was suffocating.
"After that crushing defeat, let alone any rewards from the Supreme Beings, many people were severely punished. It is precisely because of this that the Immortal Ancient and Supreme Holy Lands have never treated your eight sects well." June shook her head, seemingly with regret.
"However, according to my senior sister, that defeat was not the fault of your eight major sects. In fact, it was a mistake made by an elite army of the Immortal Ancient Holy Land, which led to the breach of the main pass and allowed the enemy's Thousand Refined Puppet Demon, composed of 180,000 Heavenly Gods, to advance straight into the area under the responsibility of the eight major sects."
He sighed and said, "The areas under the jurisdiction of the eight holy lands were already under immense pressure. Suddenly, a terrifying Thousand Refined Puppet Demon broke in and killed and slaughtered, tipping the scales in an instant and causing a complete rout."
"What?! Is that so!" Dao Yi suddenly stood up, his Dao aura surging, his face full of indignation. "They occupied the best secret realm inheritance in the Flame Dragon Realm and enjoyed the most top-notch resources, but they lost because of their own mistakes, and now they're making us, the eight major sects, take the blame?"
