My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 415 - 240: Someone Will Always Step Forward

"Then let’s wait a little longer."

Ji Xin said uncertainly, "Because the time hasn’t been too long. Many people even stay at this stage for nearly a month. Considering how long you’ve been an Empowerer...to achieve this in two months, forming the shadow of a Stone is already impressive."

"Got it."

Chen Lu thought for a moment, realizing that might be all he could do, so he nodded.

"By the way, Chen Lusi, I know you can absorb external spirits."

Xia Yue finally added after some thought, "This means you’re not too dependent on your own Tier level, since as long as there’s external spirit, you’re not afraid of draining yourself. But this is actually a separate matter; our Authority, or all abilities, come from our souls...and whether we have the Stone, whether the Stone can contain the soul, and how much soul it can contain, it actually deeply influences us...Tier is quite important, even for you, so keep working hard.

I’m quite curious, your Authority Ability full of mysteries, what will happen when you form the Stone and place your soul within it."

...

Chen Lusi left.

Xia Yue watched Chen Lusi leave, then leaned both hands on the table, looked at the ceiling, sighed, and began thinking about how to warn those restless old folks.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

At this moment.

Ji Xin suddenly spoke, coldly, "Do you really think possessing Daoist talismans and Celestial Punishment Weapons can completely solve all domestic issues? Not to mention, the current domestic stock of Stones is limited, and a Celestial Punishment Weapon can only be used a few times, making it impossible to equip thousands of people. Even if it could, do you think those old folks who’ve lived for hundreds of years won’t resist? Won’t unite?

Take note, no matter how powerful the Celestial Punishment Weapons are, they’re still controlled by ordinary people, which means as long as they withstand the first wave of attacks, as long as they’re not caught off guard, they can counterattack.

I don’t believe you’re not aware, even when facing Li Zheng’s squad, if you’re prepared, would you stand and take the hit? Just because they possess Celestial Punishment Weapons, do they think they can kill you?"

"Probably not."

Xia Yue lowered his head, smiled, and replied.

"And the talismans, putting aside those unrealistic ones, those that have survived...there are only a few dozen useful ones, which can greatly enhance individual power, but it’s nothing compared to those original, powerful Authority Abilities."

Ji Xin ignored him and continued, "Relying on these things to completely solve domestic problems is unrealistic...the meaning of Celestial Punishment Weapons lies in their versatility and ease of use, and a hundred Celestial Punishment Weapons paired with a well-trained Security Army is enough to deter or even kill a solitary Advanced Empowerer! And it doesn’t require a large number of Empowerers to cooperate.

And the meaning of the talisman lies in drawing Daoism into the Celestial Strategy Mansion’s camp and allowing us to possess nearly infinite and powerful... ’Artificial Antiques.’

This is impressive, very impressive, but it’s far from solving all issues. If you truly want to wipe out those life-loving, immortality-seeking old folks on a large scale, when they’re cornered, they will surely fight to the death.

By then, if they unite, holding the attitude that if they can’t live, nobody else can either, be it Celestial Punishment Weapons or talismans, they won’t make a decisive difference.

And there’s only one of you, why do you think you can solve all the problems?"

Xia Yue smiled, responded, "Right now, as for the talismans and Celestial Punishment Weapons, are they completely set in stone? Isn’t Chen Lusi still thinking about sealing her Techniques into the talismans?"

Ji Xin was taken aback, then, thinking of Chen Lusi’s figure, gently pressed her red lips, "Do you think it’s possible?"

Xia Yue retorted, "Could you have imagined it before? That there would be something like Celestial Punishment Weapons? That talismans would return to the stage?"

Ji Xin: "..."

The answer is certainly negative.

"So, why not wait and see?"

Xia Yue softly said, "We can’t always go on like this, we need to do something, if we don’t even dare to imagine, how can we talk about solving all the issues?"

Ji Xin was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Even if the Celestial Punishment Weapons and talismans could become stronger as you wish, there still needs to be someone who will make the final call...currently, you can’t."

Xia Yue shrugged, not caring, but replied, "There will always be someone who will step up."

Ji Xin: "..."
