The attribute of the Abnormal People being immortal and indestructible indeed exists like a massive killing machine in war, as after all, although the Abyss can also resurrect some Cultivators, the ones qualified for this are without exception those at Great Perfection in the Eighth Realm or the Abyss Envoys of the Ninth Realm, while ordinary Abyss Cultivators naturally don't enjoy this treatment.
However, the precondition for deploying the Abnormal People to the battlefield is that they must be able to serve a certain purpose, at least they must possess a certain amount of destructive power.
But right now, although the Abnormal People from their Zen sect have shown astonishing progress, they still fall short in a battlefield of such intensity, and their Zen sect is not yet at the point of sacrificing the lives of weaker disciples to fill the gaps.
"These Abnormal People are disciples of our Zen sect, and not only them, other Zen disciples whose cultivation realms are not yet sufficient have also all been kept back. Moreover, you have personally witnessed the surprising rate of progress these Abnormal People have made, revealing this matter too early and throwing them into battle will not only be of no help in their training, but might also harm them."
Hui Zhi understood the intention of his junior disciple Helian, therefore, he now calmly explained to him.
"Every bit of time we fight for at the front lines allows the Abnormal People to grow stronger."
Hui Zhi gazed directly at Helian, whose emotions were now gradually calming down.
"What is more effective in a war, a group of immortal Fourth Realm Cultivators or a group of immortal Fifth Realm Cultivators?"
"Of course, it's those of the Fifth Realm."
Helian now fully understood the meaning behind Hui Zhi and the abbot's intentions.
"Additionally, how many immortal and indestructible Abnormal People are there in the Mystical Mechanism Continent?"
Hui Zhi continued to ask.
"Disciple doesn't know; I only understand that their numbers are incredibly vast."
Helian shook his head, he truly hadn't paid attention to this matter, nor could anyone tally the numbers of Abnormal People scattered across the entire Mystical Mechanism Continent.
"With so many Abnormal People, given time, they will at least be Cultivators of the Fifth Realm or even higher. When that time comes, why would we worry about the Abyss's invasion?"
Hearing his senior disciple's words, Helian was deeply shaken; the thought of billions of Fifth Realm or even Sixth Realm Cultivators, was something he didn't even dare to contemplate.
At the very least, if at present there were so many immortal and fearless Fifth Realm Cultivators, it might even be feasible for them to counterattack the Abyss and re-seal it without issue!
"Do you understand why we do not let the Abnormal People join the battle now?"
Hui Zhi closed his eyes again, his words were not only for Helian but also for the Cultivators who were beginning to harbor feelings of resentment.
A good commander is not just skilled in command, but must also have a precise understanding of the psychology of the Cultivators under their command, as sometimes, psychological or emotional turbulence can doom a war.
Helian, deeply impressed, respectfully clasped his hands together and bowed to Hui Zhi; the abbot and his senior brother had been contemplating how to win even before the war began, and it turned out that those currently weak Abnormal People were the key to victory in this war!
Other Cultivators who were quietly listening to the conversation also felt a surge of spirit, as if they had been injected with a dose of cardiac stimulant, filling them with confidence about the future.
Once this news left the great hall, it spread at a crazy speed across the frontline battlefields, boosting everyone's confidence and the entire army's morale.
Amidst this jubilation, Cultivators on various battlefields time and again endured the difficult assaults of the Abyss Army.
Watching the Cultivators, now with momentum surging like a torrent, Hui Zhi pushed himself even harder to command.
Though the Cultivators displayed such surging momentum, both he and Chen Hua and Qinglian, sitting high above, knew that the key to victory or defeat would never lie in who won or lost in the war below.
Even if they completely annihilated all the Cultivators from the Abyss, as long as the essence of the Abyss wasn't eliminated, those Abyss Cultivators would never truly be extinct.
Three months passed in an instant amidst this unending war, until brilliant white lights fell from the sky like a meteor shower.
[Mystical Mechanism in peril! The battle with the Abyss commences!]
The blood-red title of the game version strikingly appears on the panel of every player who has just logged into the game.
As is customary, a segment of compulsory CG animation pulls all players into the scene. The footage showcases war scenes that got every player's blood boiling from the lowest levels, to Chen Hua single-handedly and majestically suppressing the Abyss Gate with one sword, and finally arriving at a heaven-reaching purple bamboo.
The players watched from a God's-eye panoramic view, which is precisely why they felt so profoundly insignificant upon seeing this particular bamboo.
Just as the players were curiously wondering why they had to keep staring at this thing, a sharp and regal fluctuation burst forth from within the bamboo. Even from a spectator's viewpoint, the players still felt the breath sweep truly and tangibly across their bodies.
Zing——
The crisp and melodious sound of a sword's hum vibrated through the air, causing the players' spirits to quake.
Following this sound of the sword's hum, a phantom of an Emperor's Crown appeared above the bamboo, as if crowning the bamboo itself.
But as the players' viewpoint zoomed in, they excitedly let out cries and yells,
"Ohhhhhhh——"
A breathtakingly beautiful silhouette appeared above the purple bamboo, right beneath the crown.
Under the shining sun, Su Youyi's delicate skin appeared snow-white and translucent. The young girl's graceful figure floated through the air, with her dress fluttering lightly in the wind.
In the players' view, Su Youyi looked gentle and exquisite. Under the enveloping light, amidst the swirling mists, Su Youyi exuded a divine and heroic beauty that astonished everyone.
At this moment, countless people fell into enchantment!
As Su Youyi's delicate hand rose up, as if answering a summons, despite there being no swords around, the sound of swords humming could still be heard from the Void!
This was the Sound of Sword Intent!
This was the Sword Intent of Sword Cultivators all over the world, responding to the call of the Sword Monarch.
Under the gaze of countless players, streaks of light teleported out of the void.
After paying a brief tribute to Su Youyi, they transformed into sword patterns and were engraved upon the Emperor's Crown!
After a long period of engraving, the once simple phantom of the Emperor's Crown now looked exquisitely beyond compare, drawing gasps of awe!
The grand phantom of the Emperor's Crown slowly shrank and eventually, in a size that was just right, it solidified and was placed upon the top of Su Youyi's head.
"Wow!"
At this moment, the look in Su Youyi's beautiful eyes radiated a heroic spirit due to the Sword Intent—with it, she seemed like a true Empress who had descended upon the world, commanding all the Sword Intents under the heavens!
The instant Su Youyi grasped the sword Lovesick, the perspective of the players changed drastically.
From an even more direct God's-eye view, as if split-screened, they witnessed the convergence of all Sword Intents.
There was the icy Sword Intent flying far from the Extreme East Snow Mountain, which froze the air wherever it passed; there was the Azure Dragon coalescing amidst the tremors of the waters in the Southern Sea, roaring with unstoppable momentum; there was the Banished Immortal in the Extreme North, casually releasing a strand of Origin Sword Intent from the Taoist Collection, before which even the heavens and earth made way; there was the purest Earth Sword Intent gathering at the foot of the mountains in the Extreme West, embodying virtue and carrying all.
There were high and mighty Cultivators, there were ordinary Swordsmen, there were resplendent palatial places, and there were wilderness streams and valleys...
When all the Sword Intents under the heavens converged, they together formed the Sword Dao Emperor's Crown atop Su Youyi's head!
"My GOSH! How can it be so thrilling from the get-go?
The players were all in awe of this CG segment, genuinely a work of conscience—it seemed every frame was spending money!
