This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 860 - 670: Refining Sect

As a direct witness, and with a different level of standing, Su Youyi's account of the war's conclusion is far more detailed than the records kept by the players.

When Su Youyi finished recounting the war's beginning and end to her senior brother, an hour had already passed.

"So we haven't decided on a candidate to go over yet?"

Liang Yi was somewhat puzzled, though it might sound a bit inhumane to say it, it shouldn't be difficult for the Mystical Mechanism Continent to find a Ninth Realm sacrifice.

Some elders whose life span isn't long, in order to protect the sect's future hopes, often sacrifice their lives on the battlefield to protect those young cultivators with bright futures.

"No, it's not that they're unwilling, it's just that they're not strong enough..."

Su Youyi shook her head and sighed softly.

Liang Yi was initially still a bit confused, but after careful consideration, he realized it was indeed the case.

When the Cultivation Path was renewed, the cultivators of the Mystical Mechanism Continent finally had a path to continue advancing, allowing countless cultivators to avoid being stuck at Great Perfection of the Seventh Realm, even as their life force waned.

But this created a problem. Those who could continue advancing were either robust cultivators like their master Chen Hua, Fang Zhi Elder, and Elder Zhou Yu with natural talents and abundant life force or young cultivators like him, his junior sister, or He Zhiqing and Yu Gejing with potentials yet fully realized.

For Supreme Elders from various sects, mostly aged elders, although they could continue striving for the Eighth and Ninth Realms, it's almost the end by the time they reach the mid-Ninth Realm. Some sect elders run out of potential in the late Eighth Realm, with no chance of the Ninth Realm.

As for sect disciples younger than Liang Yi and others, they're just like Liang Yi and others back then—full of astonishing potential but haven't yet translated it into strength, unable to truly grow in a short time.

So for the sake of caution, the cultivator going over to gather intelligence and return it should at least be in the late Ninth Realm. After all, the other side of the Abyss Gate is the territory of the Abyss Will...

"Although the Heavenly Dao and Abyss Will haven't intervened before, it's likely they might have already clashed when we reclaimed the Desert North, but they may also be observing each other."

Su Youyi's primary concern was still this; they had yet to hold any territory on the Abyss Continent. So, when they appear on the Abyss Continent, the Mystical Mechanism Heavenly Dao can't assist them, whereas the Abyss Will can act freely.

Back when the Abyss just broke its seal, although Chen Hua alone blocked the Abyss for a while with his sword, buying invaluable time for the Mystical Mechanism Continent, during that period, Abyss Cultivators successfully converted the Desert North into Abyss Land, allowing Abyss Will to directly descend upon the Mystical Mechanism Continent.

Now they wish to counterattack the Abyss Continent, which is far tougher than when Abyss Cultivators came over back then.

"There might be traps from Abyss Cultivators, or directly facing the Abyss Will."

Thinking about this, Liang Yi was somewhat troubled, facing such a scenario, choosing a cultivator to go over for intelligence gathering was indeed difficult.

"Does it at least require someone of Super Force Chief-level?"

This way, Liang Yi understood why there hadn't been much progress regarding the Abyss Continent for so long.

Every Chief-level cultivator is priceless, above them are Sect Leader-level cultivators, limiting the range of candidates and the number of chosen ones to just a few.

The feeling is that anyone could go, yet none are truly suitable. Against potential appearances of Abyss Will, He Zhiqing and Pang Qingshi both have methods to cope, considering various traps and Abyss Cultivators' siege, Yue Bai, Liu Rouxin, Zhou Wudao, Ke Mengzhan, and Hui Zhi can all handle them.

It's not that He Zhiqing and others are cowardly, if life sacrifice is required, none of these would shrink back.

"If there's a particularly suitable candidate..."

Liang Yi sighed softly, muttering under his breath, as if realizing something halfway through.

A particularly suitable candidate... isn't there one right here?

With his Disruption Domain, even facing Abyss Will directly, his chances of survival are far greater than others, and if there are ambushes, his Disruption Domain has no fear at all—most suitable for dealing with human wave tactics.

Also, his strength is top tier; even if Gongsun Bai'an's Abyss Envoys personally act, he can withstand them.

Noticing the brightening eyes of her senior brother, Su Youyi instinctively bit her lip.

She had thought of this too, if her senior brother exited, this task would undoubtedly fall on her senior brother, so she didn't want him to take the risk.

She had planned to find her master today to take on the task, coincidentally running into her senior brother exiting.

If she secretly took the task to go to the Abyss Continent behind her senior brother's back, he'd likely chase her to the Abyss Continent to teach her a lesson.

So now, Su Youyi was very troubled, not wanting her senior brother to risk it, but she also knew no one was more suitable for this task than her senior brother, not even her master.
