Abandon everything?
That was clearly not an option, and no one would be willing to do so. If anyone dared to suggest that, Chu Yang would probably be the first to step up and beat that person to a pulp...
"Ah, we should discuss this with everyone," Chu Yang frowned tightly. For a moment, he felt overwhelmed.
Before reaching this level, they would never have considered so many things, but now, it was a must.
...
"What are we going to do about this? If we go up, it will be nearly impossible to come back down afterward. Why do you think so few people have come down over the years?" Mo Tianji said, "So, taking them along is a must."
"But the problem is, how can we take them with us? Their strength is clearly insufficient, they're far too weak..."
"Moreover, once we go up, everything starts from scratch. The road ahead will be fraught with thorns and dangers, far more than in the Nine Heavens... and they seem to lack even the basic ability to protect themselves..."
...
It was already late at night. The group of brothers gathered together to discuss this matter, each one wracking their brains but coming up empty.
After all, strength was a hard limitation, basically an unsolvable problem.
For a moment, everyone felt a bit envious of Dong Wushang. It seemed he was the most relaxed; after all, luck often favored the foolish. Mo Lei Er had already met the standards, even exceeding the limits; these two could fly up without any worries...
Dong Wushang furrowed his brows, thinking hard; the more honest a person was, the less they pondered. At least he felt no joy for himself at the moment, nor any sense of relief; instead, he felt guilty.
He was going up together with the beautiful Mo Lei Er, but his brothers couldn’t do the same. That was, well, he felt too unworthy...
But what could be done about this?
Dong Wushang thought until his face darkened.
With a long sigh, everyone was at a loss. All eyes turned to Mo Tianji, who finally became anxious: "Why are you all looking at me? Do you think I have some way to make them all reach the point of shattering the void overnight? Do you really think I'm an immortal? Even an immortal wouldn't have that kind of power!"
"Regardless of the obstacles, we must go up. Even if there are difficulties, we have to find a way," Ji Mo and Xie Danqiong insisted, "This trip is a matter of life and death; we won’t meet for at least decades. When we come back... who knows when that will be. Perhaps by then, our beloved ones will have aged, and the world will have changed drastically, even resulting in life and death separations..."
"Then why don’t we just not go up!" Tan Tan pulled at his hair, "We can reign here, with beauties by our sides; life is just that wonderful."
"That idea is beautiful, but the reality is harsh," Chu Yang sighed bitterly. "We still haven't had anyone come to guide us. It’s already a mercy from the heavens. I suspect someone is intentionally controlling this, giving us a little time to prepare. Besides, the descent of heavenly demons should be a trial for us; otherwise, the Law Sovereign’s cultivation level shouldn’t be left here..."
"Moreover, the Nine Heavens Continent has always been different from other dimensions. In other dimensions, reaching the supreme level is enough to shatter the void, but here we need to achieve the ninth rank peak to ascend... Now, after we leave, perhaps this restraint will be the same as in other places..."
Chu Yang furrowed his brows as he analyzed, the more he analyzed, the more overwhelmed he felt.
"What kind of nonsense is this? Is the heavens playing with us...?"
Everyone sighed in unison.
"Actually... I have a not-so-much-of-a-solution," the Sword Spirit said weakly from the nine calamity space. "But even if we go up, there will be certain risks. Perhaps it's better not to mention it."
Chu Yang's spirit jolted: "What solution? Speak! Hurry up!"
The Sword Spirit said, "Remember I mentioned before, our nine calamity space can grow heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but it cannot contain living beings. However, since you've now obtained the eighth segment of the Nine Calamity Sword, you can fit a few living people inside. Moreover, given the current state of the nine calamity space, you could fit hundreds of people in there..."
