Chapter 2199 On Defeating the Enemy
As for Aunt Zhu, He Lingchuan originally didn't want to assign her a position, lest their friendship turn into a superior-subordinate relationship. But Aunt Zhu didn't care about rank at all; she just wanted to use her Yuan Power to bully others, and her main concern was having a fight. In the end, He Lingchuan had no choice but to create a special "guest seat" for her.
"The last time 'Awakening of Insects' arrived was many years ago. These immortals and demons have been in seclusion for hundreds or even thousands of years, so they are naturally very unaccustomed to the mortal world," Emperor Mu explained. "Many important caves were completely undetectable when they were closed, making them very safe. But now that they are reconnecting with the mortal world and preparing to open, strange things have appeared at the cave entrances. The Heavenly Demon and Beka have heard about this and are coming to launch a sneak attack; Mount Ling and our country are on high alert and doing everything they can to protect them."
He sighed softly: "In fact, in the past year and a half, there have been more than ten battles surrounding the cave dwelling. Both sides have suffered casualties, but these battles are too secretive, and most mortals are unaware of them."
He Lingchuan understood: "It's like the Battle of the Overturned Sea."
Emperor Mu is right. These battles are too secretive; even with Cang Yan's channels, he hasn't been able to gather information on many of them.
"Exactly."
The Battle of the Upside-Down Sea occurred when the Storm Wall disappeared naturally, and Miao Zhantian led his demons to infiltrate the Upside-Down Sea in an attempt to seize the skin of the Thousand Illusions Immortal.
So this is why the demon king and Bega are busy digging holes:
Now is the perfect time to seize the immortal's skin!
Lingshan and Muguo cannot stand idly by while the enemy is strong and we are weak; they have an obligation to intervene.
Therefore, these secretive, sophisticated, and intense battles unfolded behind the scenes of the world.
Emperor Mou and Lingshan devoted more energy to this matter, so naturally they couldn't focus all their attention on the actual national war.
"The Ministry of Justice has also handled two similar cases." This makes the human environment more complex than ever before.
Emperor Mou then asked, "To add a side note, do you know why, since the appearance of the Thousand Illusions Immortal is so important, the Holy Venerable Lingxu did not personally descend upon the Reversed Sea?"
This question had crossed He Lingchuan's mind before, but he hadn't had time to think about it deeply. He had too many things to consider.
"I would like to ask for your guidance." True Monarch Cangxi is a True Immortal body that Miaozhantian borrowed from Holy Venerable Lingxu. Since Holy Venerable Lingxu has this body, it would be the safest thing for him to personally descend to the mortal realm to deal with True Monarch Qianhuan.
Emperor Mu took a light breath: "The physical form of True Monarch Cangxi cannot bear the descent of the true body of Holy Venerable Lingxu."
He Lingchuan was stunned: "What? Even a True Immortal's body couldn't withstand him?"
"Indeed, in the Demon Realm, the Holy Venerable Lingxu is hailed as the number one person below the Three Holy Gods, and his cultivation far surpasses that of the other Heavenly Demons. For the past three thousand years since Tianluo Star, the reason why the Lingxu Gods have been able to command the wind and rain in the Demon Realm and suppress the other Heavenly Gods is largely because they have the trump card of the Holy Venerable Lingxu in their hands." Emperor Mu continued, "Don't be fooled by the fact that Miaozhantian was ranked third among the Lingxu Gods before his birth; in reality, he is still far inferior to the Holy Venerable Lingxu in terms of ability."
He Lingchuan immediately asked, "How does it compare to Mi Tian?"
“In the past, Mi Tian was also elusive in the Demon Realm, and his power surpassed that of Miao Zhan Tian. However, both realms generally believed that Ling Xu Saint Venerable was still the undisputed number one in the Demon Realm.”
The so-called "two realms" naturally refer to the Demon Realm and the interior of Mount Ling.
This viewpoint must have some merit.
He Lingchuan was both amused and exasperated: "If even the physical form of True Monarch Cangxi can't bear it, then it seems that Holy Venerable Lingxu can't descend to the mortal realm. Do we still need to worry about him?"
If a terrifying giant whale can't swim into shallow reefs, why should small fish and shrimp worry about it?
"Similarly, there are even more powerful True Immortals than Zang Xi in the mortal realm, right here in Mount Ling." Emperor Mu shook his head. "The Holy Venerable Lingxu is also a man of great talent and ambition. Neither you nor I know how many preparations He has made over the past few thousand years. Perhaps—"
He looked at He Lingchuan: "He is aiming at the large square pot."
If we could learn from Mi Tian's experience, perhaps the Holy Venerable Lingxu wouldn't need an outrageously powerful physical body to descend to the mortal realm.
He Lingchuan smiled and said, "Now that you mention it, I feel a chill down my spine."
That's what he said, but there wasn't a trace of fear on his face.
"By the way, how much does Xin Jun know about the Heavenly Demon's plan to return to the mortal realm?"
This is a common enemy for both sides; it would be best to exchange intelligence.
"You mean, their demon puppet experiments?" Emperor Mu indeed knew. "Over the past three years, we've destroyed three demon puppet experiment sites in the Heavenly Palace—two small and one large, located on land, by the sea, and at sea respectively. Numerous deformed demons with twisted forms appeared in these sites; some were almost humanoid, but their minds were deranged, and their appearances were unstable. My men personally witnessed two demon puppets explode into a cloud of blood mist. If they intend to use them as bodies for divine descent—"
He shook his head: "I think the road to the Heavenly Palace is still long."
"Then we still have time. However, every major resurgence of spiritual energy in the world also benefits the Heavenly Demons," He Lingchuan said solemnly. "Xin Jun, what do you think the mortal realm should do if the Great Heavenly Demon descends again?"
"How can we win?" He paused. "This time, we don't have the Black Dragon God."
This was a very heavy topic, and Emperor Mou's lips twitched downwards.
"Both Lingshan and Mu Kingdom will fight to the death. Cang Yan has no way out either."
If the Heavenly Demons were to descend upon the mortal realm once more, their conflict with Mount Ling and the immortals would likely be irreconcilable. And He Lingchuan's head is coveted by countless Heavenly Demons; he will certainly not escape a terrible fate!
He Lingchuan laughed and said, "Xin Jun is too pessimistic. Didn't you think we could win?"
“Only when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant can immortals enter the mortal world, and only then can the Heavenly Demons have a true opponent.” Emperor Mu sighed. “But on the other hand, when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant, the possibility of a Great Heavenly Demon descending into the world will also increase further. The arrival of a prosperous era is also a double-edged sword.”
This is easy to understand; if the spiritual energy does not recover to a level of extreme abundance, it will not be able to support the activities of the immortals and great demons.
From his words, He Lingchuan understood that Emperor Mu still didn't believe he could truly be involved in the battle against the Great Demon King. Because in Emperor Mu's view, the final battle only included immortals and demons; no one else could interfere.
"The human world today is different from that of three thousand years ago," He Lingchuan said softly. "Has Xin Jun considered that there might be other means to fight against or even defeat the Heavenly Demon?"
"Other leverage? What do you mean?"
“Yuan power.” He Lingchuan looked at the river. “Tianluo Star reshaped the laws of the two realms, while Dafanghu brought new power to the human world.”
Emperor Mu had an "I knew it" look on his face: "I've considered it carefully too. Yuan power is good, but it's still just the power of mortals, and its upper limit is too low! It might be useful against ordinary immortals and demons, but what effect will Yuan power have against an opponent of the level of a Great Demon?"
As the ruler of a great nation, he dealt with Yuan Power every day, and naturally he was one of the few people in the world who understood Yuan Power the most.
The moment the Great Demon and the Immortal made their move, the heavens and earth trembled.
Mortals? Mortals were in such a panicked state that they could only flee at the last minute; what power could they possibly gather?
That's an exponential difference!
