Capítulo 1325: Chapter 1296: Catherine’s Plan
After the fruitless argument ended, everyone began to discuss the real issue at hand.
Although most of the strong people present had different personalities and didn’t all get along, with a few having some minor grievances and frictions, in the face of such a major event, these powerful individuals could still discern what was important.
As Luoo Tianxiao discussed with the others, he led a group of strong individuals to the base of the Kunlun Mountains, where they saw the boundary gate seal being urgently repaired by a group of Martial Artists skilled in Formation.
Many people saw that although the boundary gate seal was not collapsing quickly due to the rush repairs, its complete collapse was only a matter of time.
“Is this the thing that, once shattered, will let creatures from Another World emerge?” someone asked.
Dai Ren nodded: “In fact, many creatures from Another World have already emerged. If you wish to see, I can have someone bring their bodies to you later.”
Luoo Tianxiao added from the side, “Currently, the creatures emerging from Another World are not very strong, and their numbers are very few, at most one or two at a time. However, we suspect that if the Boundary Gate Formation collapses, a large number of powerful creatures will appear.”
“Furthermore,” saying this, Luoo Tianxiao looked up toward the mountain above where the Boundary Gate Formation was sealed, “this mountain is connected to the Boundary Gate Formation and serves as the suppressive force of the Formation. But because the core is missing, once the Formation collapses, the mountain will also collapse, and the entrance and exit will thus expand. By then, that’s when creatures from Another World will truly invade.”
“The core?” Upon hearing the two words unintentionally mentioned by Luoo Tianxiao, Catherine couldn’t help but pay attention: “Master Luoo, do you mean that this Formation originally had a core, but now, it’s gone?”
“That’s right.” Beside him, Dai Ren said with a somewhat grim expression: “We only discovered after the Martial Arts Conference that the core of the Formation was stolen, and the Mountain Guardian Beast that was originally guarding the core was also slain!”
“Then why don’t we first think of a way to find this core of the Formation? Once we retrieve it, won’t the problem be solved?” Catherine asked.
At this point, the other strong individuals also turned to look at Dai Ren and Luoo Tianxiao. They felt that although this foreign girl didn’t seem pleasing to the eye, what she said made sense.
“It’s not that simple.” Dai Ren shook his head: “If it were that simple, we would have done it long ago.”
“Actually, at the beginning, we also tried to find the Heart of Kunlun, which is the core of the Formation. But as time passed, even if we find it now, there’s no way to repair the Formation.”
Dai Ren gazed intently at the Boundary Gate Formation not far away and spoke: “This Great Formation was laid down by strong experts from ancient times. According to my conjecture and some records in ancient books, it’s likely that it was set by Heaven-level Experts. Even if such a Formation suffers some damage, it can repair itself. That’s why this Formation has been operating for so many years.”
“However, the Heart of Kunlun as the core of the Formation must not be missing, because once it’s missing, the Formation will not only lose its self-repair ability but will also stop operating due to the core’s absence. And now, the boundary gate seal is in the process of stopping its operation, a process that is almost irreversible.” Dai Ren said helplessly.
“So, you’re saying that even if we retrieve whatever Heart of Kunlun, we can’t repair the Formation unless a Heaven-level Expert appears to set up this Formation again?” Sect Leader Wang Yuan of Emei frowned.
Dai Ren and Luoo Tianxiao didn’t speak, which was considered a tacit agreement.
Everyone realized why Luoo Tianxiao had gathered so many of them here, one reason was indeed to find out if they had any solutions to repair the Formation. The other reason was the fear that once the boundary gate seal collapsed, too many powerful creatures from Another World might emerge.
“It seems, everyone has no solution.” Dai Ren and Luoo Tianxiao exchanged a glance. Seeing the silent experts, both had a look of helplessness in their eyes.
“I have a thought.” Suddenly, someone spoke up.
Everyone turned to look, only to find that it was still Catherine speaking.
After the previous discussion, naturally, no one would attack Catherine again. Although the Li Family indeed had quite a few enemies back then, they were all due to Li Changcun. Considering historical factors, the Li Family actually had quite a few friends, especially among these older generations.
“Please go ahead.” Luoo Tianxiao, who was the least concerned among them, spoke up first.
“Since the Formation cannot be repaired or reversed, why don’t we prepare for the events to come?” Catherine suggested.
“Hmm?”
“If the boundary gate truly serves as the passageway between Another World and our world, then it means that once it fully opens, many creatures from Another World will arrive. However, I believe that beings from any world would fear the strong!” Catherine said solemnly.
“The law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, is an eternal principle that won’t change in any world!” Catherine analyzed, “Creatures from other worlds invade mainly because they do not know our strength or weakness. If we are weak, they might continue their invasion against us, but if we are stronger, at least on the surface stronger than them?”
“I think we don’t need to do anything else now. To use an ancient Huaxia saying, we can just ‘sit by the tree and wait for the hare.’ As long as creatures from Another World come over, we send out top experts to strike them with a powerful blow, then unintentionally let a few escape alive to spread the word of our strength, then…”
Hearing Catherine’s words, many strong individuals present fell into contemplation.
After a while, a light began to shine in the eyes of many, including Luoo Tianxiao.
This approach seemed feasible after all!
Weak ones fear the strong. As long as we appear stronger than them, would they still dare to come over?
At this point, many found this foreign woman suddenly more pleasant to look at. Moreover, despite being a foreigner, her Huaxia language was incredibly fluent, and there was no barrier in communicating with them.
“Alright! Let’s do it this way!” Luoo Tianxiao gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
Only then did Catherine secretly heave a sigh of relief in her heart, then she looked towards Lin Yi beside her.
The two women exchanged a glance and both smiled.
