Perseverance Prevails

Seeing everything unfold exactly as his master had predicted, Tong Guihai clasped his fists in excitement.

"Master’s foresight is divine! This disciple is utterly awed! If I may be so bold, now that the tides favor our sect, should we immediately take control of everything on the island?"

Hearing this, Guo Yutong slowly stroked his beard.

"Guihai, your years of training have finally borne some fruit. Soon, we will not only strike—we will strike with full force!"

"We either do not act, or we act to eradicate the roots!"

The domineering words reverberated, making Tong Guihai’s eyes glisten with emotion.

Since joining the Five Elements Sect, he had always adhered to the principle of low-profile conduct. As one of the major sects, they had remained hidden and endured in silence, never interfering in worldly affairs—how frustrating it had been!

Now, were they finally raising their heads to take the initiative?

"Of course, having endured for millennia to seize this rare opportunity, we must be even more cautious. The greater the fortune, the finer the details we must attend to!"

Guo Yutong also reminded him.

"A single misstep could lead to total defeat."

Tong Guihai trembled at these words, his face brimming with even deeper reverence.

"Master’s wisdom is unparalleled! This disciple has learned much!"

His master’s state of mind was truly lofty, his meticulousness unmatched.

Nodding obediently, Tong Guihai chose his next words with greater care.

"Master."

"In that case, should I dispatch more disciples to gather intelligence and awaken the elite disciples who have sealed their six senses, informing them to begin preparations?"

This time, Guo Yutong finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Mm, proceed as you’ve suggested."

"We have remained secluded within our sect for days, awaiting this opportune moment. It is time to prepare thoroughly. Awaken all disciples—I shall personally lead the rally!"

As his soft words faded, the seemingly decrepit Guo Yutong suddenly revealed a sharp glint in his eyes.

Staring at this unfamiliar demeanor, Tong Guihai widened his eyes.

"Master…"

Before he could voice his question, Guo Yutong had already drifted toward a corner of the room, seating himself steadily on an ancient wooden wheelchair. His gray robes were replaced by a golden robe, transforming him from a figure of restraint into a veritable overlord!

"Disciples of the Five Elements Sect, all of limited innate talent in cultivation, were forced onto the path of divination to glimpse fate’s designs, inevitably suffering the curses of the Five Deficiencies and Three Calamities."

"For millennia, our sect has endured in silence—all for this day."

"From now on, our Five Elements Sect shall stand proudly over the East Sea!"

"Master speaks truly! Our Five Elements Sect shall indeed stand proudly over the East Sea!" Tong Guihai repeated fervently, his blood boiling with excitement.

Guo Yutong waved his hand grandly.

"Go, summon all our disciples!"

Witnessing his master’s commanding presence, Tong Guihai bowed and departed to carry out his orders.

Within moments, several figures were dispatched, and thousands of disciples gathered outside the grand hall. The plaza was packed—some blind, some ragged, some missing limbs.

Yet despite appearances, each exuded an aura of immense power.

These were the absolute elites of the Five Elements Sect.

The reappearance of the wheelchair-bound Divine Calculator Guo shocked the crowd, his aged face betraying no frailty but instead a vigorous spirit, prompting immediate bows from all present!

"Greetings, Grand Elder!"

"Greetings, Grand Elder!"

"Greetings, Grand Elder!"

Guo Yutong gazed down from his wheelchair at the sea of disciples.

"I emerge today to announce that the island has recently faced calamity. Several great celestial sects have either perished or disbanded, and those remaining are mired in dire straits!"

"Thus, I intend to lead you all in taking the initiative—to replace the other sects and cleanse Sunlight Island!"

Many gasped, lifting their heads in exhilaration!

After so many years of silent endurance within the Five Elements Sect…

Had this day finally arrived?

Instantly, the elders clenched their fists, brimming with fervor.

Pleased, Guo Yutong brandished his horsetail whisk, channeling spiritual energy to transform the vast plaza into a celestial diagram.

"To ensure our first campaign proceeds smoothly, I shall divine a reading before all."

As he moved, the starlight on the plaza intertwined and flickered.

Within moments, intricate patterns emerged.

Yet even fellow sect members, including Tong Guihai, could not decipher its meaning, leaving them to defer respectfully to Guo Yutong.

Strangely, however…

After scrutinizing the diagram and performing several hand seals, Guo Yutong himself wore a puzzled expression.

"How peculiar…"

"Celestial timing and earthly advantages are aligned, yet the human factor remains obscured—not a trace is revealed. Such an anomaly is unheard of."

Staring at the star chart, Guo Yutong pondered deeply before finally waving his hand.

"Enough."

"With the advantage ours and the island’s situation settled, a minor anomaly in the human factor is inconsequential. Against the might of heaven and earth, no individual is of significance!"

His domineering voice echoed as the crowd stirred with anticipation.

After enduring for millennia, they had finally waited for the clouds to part and reveal the moon!

Just then, the dispatched disciples hurried back, clasping their fists to report.

"Grand Elder! Sect Master!"

"We have learned that the Supreme Yang Celestial Sect’s stronghold is empty—many of their elders are nowhere to be found!"

Hearing this, Guo Yutong swung his arm decisively.

"Excellent!"

"We shall begin cleansing Sunlight Island with the Supreme Yang Celestial Sect! Disciples of the Five Elements Sect, heed my command—set forth at once!"

As his authoritative order rang out, the long-restrained disciples erupted with extraordinary momentum. Under the leadership of Divine Calculator Guo and Sect Master Tong, they marched in force toward the Supreme Yang Celestial Sect.

The time to overturn the board had come!

Hours later…

The disciples of the Five Elements Sect—annihilated.

Only Guo Yutong remained.

Surveying the corpses around him—even his most favored disciple, Tong Guihai, lay dead with unclosed eyes—Guo Yutong’s vision swam with rage and despair!

Yet when his gaze fell upon the Supreme Yang Celestial Sect’s unremarkable attendant before him, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

This man was a nobody, a marginal figure at best.

Yet now, his body radiated the intertwining hues of supreme Dao power, exuding suffocating pressure no less formidable than the legendary Ninefold Dao Venerables. Each step he took was like the approach of death itself.

"Tap… tap… tap…"

Watching the terrifying figure advance, Guo Yutong’s pupils trembled violently.

"Impossible…"

"You’re just a minor attendant—how can you be this strong?!"

His cry drew the attention of other attendants, who exchanged amused glances as if hearing a joke. Their mocking eyes gleamed as terrifying auras erupted from each of them.

Every one radiated multiple layers of Dao power!

Guo Yutong’s face paled further, his mind reeling.

He could not believe what he was seeing, nor could he fathom where his calculations had gone wrong. This scene defied all logic.

How could a group of attendants be so powerful?

Struggling in vain to comprehend, he instinctively formed a divination seal, seeking to uncover the truth behind this anomaly.

Yet his hands shook uncontrollably.

With great effort, he finally conjured a flicker of starlight—only for it to collapse into chaos, defying all his lifelong expertise.

"Disorder… everything is in disorder…"

Staring blankly at the scattered starlight, Guo Yutong muttered incoherently. Desperate, he attempted another divination—only for his eyes to bulge in horror.

"Pfft—!"

A spray of blood burst from his lips as he collapsed, his face frozen in terror. The once-revered Divine Calculator perished without even a ripple.
