205: Martial Arts Oath

Of course, this is clearly unrealistic.

No Secluded Faction has the ability to monopolize this cultivation insight.

If it were just ordinary treasures, it would be fine for a Secluded Faction to obtain them; everyone would turn a blind eye, and the matter would pass.

But this is a cultivation insight left behind by a strong person who surpassed the Martial Dao Five Realms, something that can enhance the strength of an entire faction.

Who would give up such a thing?

Any Secluded Faction that obtained it would face a situation of being attacked by the masses.

However, the strong people present were all old foxes, naturally understanding what Shen Xi meant.

Firstly, the cultivation insight cannot be given to everyone, otherwise, it would be meaningless.

Secondly, it cannot be given to a single person either, as no one could hold onto it.

The best method is to give it to a portion of the people.

These people will naturally unite to protect the cultivation insight, and they will also have enough strength to contend with the other portion of people who did not receive the cultivation insight.

This is Shen Xi's open scheme.

He is essentially openly telling everyone his thoughts.

And the first person he targeted was naturally Wu Yousheng, there's no doubt about it.

Who told him to be disrespectful and a troublemaker just now?

"What do you mean by this?"

Wu Yousheng also realized this, his eyes incredibly cold.

"I will choose nine people to share this cultivation insight that I obtained, as for the other nine, I'm sorry."

"As for you, you have already lost your qualification!"

Shen Xi responded forcefully.

Even if Wu Yousheng is a Zhu Tai Realm strong person, he would not retreat a single step.

"You are courting death!"

Wu Yousheng flew into a rage.

He immediately moved to attack Shen Xi without another word.

Since he was destined not to get the cultivation insight, there was no need to hold back; he might as well kill Shen Xi, and everyone would go their separate ways.

Or, he could capture Shen Xi and force him to hand over the cultivation insight.

Facing Wu Yousheng's attack, Shen Xi did not dodge, a smile appearing on his lips.

He had said it before, the initiative was now completely in his hands, Wu Yousheng alone could not stir up trouble.

Sure enough, before Wu Yousheng's attack could land on him, a strong person intervened, blocking him.

"Brother Wu, please calm down."

This strong person spoke politely, but his attitude was not friendly.

Wu Yousheng had no hope left, but they still had a chance, so they naturally wouldn't let anything happen to Shen Xi.

"Senior, you are one of the chosen ones."

Shen Xi seized the opportunity to speak.

A simple sentence made this strong person break into a brilliant smile.

His intervention was indeed the right move.

And Shen Xi's attitude also revealed a message: those who are good to him will have a chance to obtain the cultivation insight.

Those who are hostile to him will absolutely not get it.

This caused a subtle change in the minds of the other strong people.

It seems they need to try their best to show goodwill to Shen Xi.

"Young friend, are you going to directly transmit the cultivation insight to me then?"

This strong person asked with some excitement.

"That is natural, but to prevent the cultivation insight from leaking, Senior needs to come closer to me, and we can communicate privately."

"However, if Senior gets too close to me, I'm afraid you might directly control me, not giving me a chance to self-destruct."

"To protect myself, and to prevent Senior from directly turning hostile and killing me on the spot after obtaining the cultivation insight, I need a means of self-preservation."

Shen Xi considered everything very comprehensively.

On one hand, his only current means is self-destruction, to perish together with these strong people, so that no one gets the cultivation insight.

But this requires a prerequisite: he needs a certain amount of time to self-destruct, at least one second.

Currently, he and these strong people are relatively far apart, so they wouldn't have time to stop him from self-destructing, but once the distance is too close, he might be suppressed before he can self-destruct.

On the other hand, he was also afraid of them burning the bridge after crossing it.

Again, everyone hopes to monopolize the cultivation insight; once this strong person obtains the cultivation insight, will he directly kill Shen Xi?

This isn't a possibility, but a certainty.

To prevent these situations from occurring, Shen Xi must have a way to restrict the other party.

"Then what do you intend to do, young friend?"

This strong person asked somewhat guiltily.

He had indeed thought about burning the bridge after crossing it, but he didn't expect Shen Xi to see through it.

"It is said that once a Martial Artist steps into the Martial Dao Five Realms, they can make a Martial Dao Oath; if violated, they will suffer a backlash from the Martial Dao. Please make an oath first, Senior."

After a pause, Shen Xi continued: "One cannot be without a cautious heart. To prevent any accidents, how about I say a sentence, and Senior repeats it after me?"

The strong person's mouth twitched as he sighed helplessly: "Then I'll listen to the young friend!"

In his heart, he had complained about Shen Xi countless times.

Is this still a young man under twenty?

Deeply cunning, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him an old fox.

"The Martial Dao is above..."

Shen Xi spoke sentence by sentence, and the strong person followed suit.

The surrounding aura changed subtly the moment this strong person spoke.

In the ethereal Realm, it seemed as if a supreme existence was witnessing this strong person making a Martial Dao Oath.

As the oath was established, a wisp of golden light landed on the strong person's head, then detached and eventually flew into the Void Realm.

This situation indicated that the Martial Dao Oath was established.

Once the Martial Dao Oath is violated, one will be punished by the Martial Dao; lightly, one will become crippled, severely, one will die and their Dao will vanish.

Therefore, Martial Artists will not easily violate the Martial Dao Oath.

And everyone present, hearing the content of the oath, couldn't help but secretly click their tongues.

This oath was flawless, with no loopholes to exploit.

The oath restricted the Martial Artist from attacking Shen Xi, or Shen Xi's relatives and friends, and also required them to protect Shen Xi from other Martial Artists who did not obtain the cultivation insight.

Of course, the Martial Dao Oath is reciprocal.

Although Shen Xi's current Realm is not high enough to make a Martial Dao Oath, even if he rises in the future, he cannot attack this strong person or the faction behind this strong person because of today's incident.

After all, he is a Zhu Tai Realm strong person and still kept a watchful eye.

He was also afraid that if Shen Xi's Aptitude allowed him to rise, it would bring disaster to the faction behind him.

"Senior, please come a step closer, and I will tell you the cultivation insight in its entirety."

With the assurance, Shen Xi also relaxed a lot. As the strong person approached, he spoke the content of the cultivation insight in a voice only the two of them could hear.

Just the opening sentences made the strong person's eyes light up.

He could be 100% certain that this was definitely a cultivation insight left behind by a strong person who surpassed the Martial Dao Five Realms; even at his current Realm, he found it incredibly profound and greatly beneficial.
