However.
Danger is often linked to opportunities.
In order to obtain greater opportunities, one must inevitably face risks.
Moreover, their goal in this journey was to gain something in the battles. Fighting merely against the subsidiary powers of the White Lotus Sect did not give them much breakthrough and was far from reaching their expected goals. Going back like this would make them feel uneasy.
Lu Yun was struck by a thought.
His Pure Yang Martial Arts Canon had reached the Ultimate Reach Profound in the Origin Fluid Chapter, and he was only one step away from the Perceive Truth Realm.
As long as he entered the Perceive Truth Realm, his Innate Talent could be further improved, reaching a Level 9 Innate Talent.
More importantly, he would be able to completely reach the pinnacle of the Origin Fluid Realm, forging the most terrifying and solid foundation, stepping into the Gold Body Realm with great momentum.
However, it was precisely this step that required a significant amount of energy points.
According to the latest information available on the panel behind the Cultivation Technique, stepping from the Perfection of Reach Profound in the Origin Fluid Chapter to the Perceive Truth Realm requires 50,000 energy points.
Now, he had less than 10,000 energy points remaining.
In order to gain more energy points, he had to continue fighting.
As the White Lotus Sect was the second echelon among the Hundred Sects, its strength far surpassed the Black Mountain Sect and the Cloud Sea Sect. The disciples and experts of the sect would certainly possess abundant resources.
By then, he would be able to obtain a large amount of energy points.
What’s more, if he could harvest a lot of resources, he would not need to worry about the lack of pills or energy points for his future improvement.
Furthermore, his current Demon-Extermination Points were still a certain distance away from 10,000, making him ineligible to enter the Flood Dragon Pool.
Retreating like this did not conform to his original intention.
After some deliberation, Lu Yun became more determined to head to the White Lotus Sect battlefield.
After all, if he wanted to obtain more resources, he could only take risks.
If he retreated in fear, it would not be easy to enhance his strength, let alone defeat Rune Seed Realm experts. He didn’t know when that would happen.
Although Lu Yun was the representative and captain of the Flying Spirit Martial Academy, he could not force others to accompany him to the White Lotus Sect. He had to consult with the others.
“The journey to the White Lotus Sect is fraught with danger. Even Elder Lei and I may not be able to protect ourselves. You have all already experienced two significant battles which have provided enough practice. Returning to the Martial Academy and digesting the gains of this journey would definitely result in a decent improvement,” Lu Yun said as he looked at everyone with a solemn expression.
As elite disciples of the Martial Academy, he did not want to lose too many people in the battle against the White Lotus Sect. In his heart, he did not wish for them to go.
“Senior Brother Lu, the path of martial arts is like sailing against the current, if we do not advance, we will lag behind. If we stop or even retreat due to the unknown danger, our martial spirit will be tainted, and there will not be much progress in the future,” said Baili Yi with a serious expression. “So, I will not retreat now or in the future, but keep moving forward.”
“Saint Child, we will not retreat on this journey to the White Lotus Sect!” Qju Guyun and the others also showed their determination.
Seeing that everyone had no intention of returning to the Martial Academy, Lu Yun felt more happiness than worry.
With the help of his panel, he could rely on energy points to increase his strength. In the face of danger, it was feasible for him to choose to retreat; the only downside was that his growth rate would slow down.
But it was different for the others. Missing the opportunity to gain resources and improve their strength would cause them to fall behind, eventually stagnating.
Lu Yun particularly admired Baili Yi’s martial spirit.
Among everyone, his Innate Talent was only at the apex of Level 5, which was close to the lowest.
However, his progress was not slow at all, even surpassing Bai Haoxuan, who had a Level 6 Innate Talent.
A small part of the Demon Suppression Army was left behind at the Cloud Sea Sect, waiting for the Imperial Court to send someone to take over.
Soon after, Zhuang Ziyuan led the remainder of the Demon Suppression Army and many other martial artists on their majestic march toward the White Mountain Area.
There, the real battlefield awaited the Far Suppression Legion of the Demon Suppression Army.
By then, even Rune Seed Realm experts like Zhuang Ziyuan would no longer be able to dominate the battlefield.
