Chương 304: To Advance or Retreat

The bright sun shines on the beautiful Qingcheng Mountain, and a wisp of cloud brings immortals with it!

The majestic Qingcheng Mountains are now shrouded in rosy clouds, with a gentle breeze blowing. Auspicious beasts circle in the air, roaming freely, while swords flash and emit a dazzling light.

A straight road paved with the essence of the Earth element runs from the bottom of the mountain to the main hall of the Qingcheng Sect at the top.

On either side stood two Taoist priests, each holding a long sword to their chest, their faces solemn.

At this moment, hundreds of martial arts practitioners and officials from various countries stepped onto the main road and headed towards the mountaintop.

"Tsk tsk, Master Zhao must have cultivated immortality, this kind of demeanor is truly amazing."

A Dharma Master exclaimed in surprise.

"As the saying goes, if you understand one method, you understand all methods. Perhaps Master Zhao has truly found the path to immortality in the outer realms."

"Yes, it's really possible. We are incredibly fortunate to have the chance to touch the path to immortality in this lifetime."

"You two are surprised by what I say. I observe that this Earth Dao has some strange aspects, but it is not much higher than the wonders of a master in the Domain Realm. Cultivating immortality is not necessarily possible. I believe that Master Zhao has comprehended the supreme martial arts."

"Immortals, Tao, gods, martial arts, witchcraft, and even this mortal science, in the end, are all about the application of energy. All things follow the same path and lead to the same goal."

"What Master Wang said is very true."

1 The crowd was filled with mixed emotions, but they were also increasingly looking forward to the upcoming grand event.

The morning bell tolls, and the dawn shines brightly.

Once all the relevant personnel had ascended the mountain, Zhao Rui's Dharma body suddenly appeared atop Mount Qingcheng.

"I have invited you all here today not to preach or to demonstrate, but to share with you my experiences traveling through the vast universe over the past few years. As for what to do next, that is up to you."

Zhao Rui spoke loudly, his voice booming like thunder, echoing through the valley.

"Traveling? What's in the universe? Interstellar storms or planetary destruction?"

"Could it be that beyond interstellar space lies a completely different world?"

Everyone focused their attention and waited for Zhao Rui to speak.

Several years ago, while guarding a gap in the boundary wall outside the domain, I encountered alien invaders—

"The universe is teeming with countless living beings, and powerful races are even more numerous—"

"The outer star region of our Blue Star is now the domain of the gods belonging to the God of Light. Their race is similar to our human race, but more inclined towards the Western human type—"

"The divine power within is somewhat similar to the domain power cultivated by you Domain Masters; more precisely, it is a single-attribute power—"

"As for whether or not to make contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, that is up to you all to choose."

After Zhao Rui finished speaking, his true form suddenly disappeared, and he himself never showed his face once from beginning to end.

"this----" Zhao Rui's words were truly shocking, leaving both martial arts masters and worldly dignitaries dumbfounded as they digested them.

To advance or to retreat?

Entering the world allows access to a wider universe, richer resources, more profound martial arts, and a more unpredictable future.

Even immortality.

However, there is a possibility of encountering an overly powerful enemy and a war that is difficult to resist.

If we retreat, the boundary will be sealed off, and everything will return to the way it was before. Martial arts will stop here, but power and territory will remain.

How should I choose?

Nobody knows!

It's impossible to make a decision right now.

Everyone here is among the most outstanding people on this planet; they may not be the most cunning and shrewd, but they are certainly highly skilled and experienced.

Naturally, no statement will be made.

Seeing that Zhao Rui did not show up, the group went down the mountain one after another after having a chat with the Qingcheng Sect Leader.
