"The experts of the Great Thousand Palace will gradually withdraw, and this place will be handed over to you to govern and guard. However, the Great Thousand Tower will still exist, and a representative will remain."
Chu Yang continued, "As long as you don't cross the line, try not to antagonize the people of Daqian Palace."
After finishing his story about Sun Wukong, Chu Yang turned to look at Lin Dong, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"Brother Lin, I've gathered some intelligence through the Great Thousand Palace, and now I'm almost certain that the remnant soul of your wife is with the Ice Spirit Clan!"
"only……"
Lin Dong's expression instantly became extremely excited, but when he heard Chu Yang change the subject, he quickly calmed down and waited for what was to come.
Chu Yang continued, "When the royal bloodline of the Ice Spirit Clan is born, a strand of ice spirit is integrated into their clan's treasure, the Ice Spirit Stele."
"If a royal family member suffers an accident, they can be resurrected using the Ice Spirit Stele, but this will deplete the Ice Spirit Cup's essence..."
"As things stand today, the Ice Spirit Stele's original essence is almost gone, so even if you come knocking on its door, I'm afraid the Ice Spirit Clan won't agree to help..." (End of Chapter)
Chapter 397 Thirteenfold Ascension to the Holy Body! The Heavenly Dao's 'Virus' and 'Recycling Station'!
The joy on Lin Dong's face gradually faded, replaced by solemnity, but his eyes remained firm.
He asked softly, "Brother Chu, what is the Ice Spirit Clan's foundation like?"
Chu Yang answered directly: "The ancient clans existed for a very long time, but they are gradually declining now."
"But even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and its ancestor possessed the cultivation of a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign."
"Moreover, the Ice Spirit Clan has certain connections in the Great Thousand Worlds. If they force their way in, the Ice Spirit Ancestor might be able to find several Heavenly Sovereigns as helpers."
Lin Dong is currently only at the early stage of the Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign. Even if his strength is comparable to that of the mid-stage Spirit Grade, he would still find it difficult to compete with those veteran powerhouses.
The Ice Spirit Clan's protective formation and many other methods passed down from ancient times are not to be underestimated.
Lin Dong took a deep breath, not discouraged by this, and cupped his hands towards Chu Yang, saying:
"Brother Chu, I am deeply grateful!"
In fact, Lin Dong was not discouraged by the strength of the Ice Spirit Clan; on the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At least for now, it can be confirmed that Ying Huanhuan's remnant soul has not dissipated, and there is still a chance to revive her.
In his view, Chu Yang's willingness to put in the effort for this matter, and even to use his connections in the Daqian Palace to gather intelligence, was an immense favor.
Without Chu Yang's help, it would probably have taken an unknown amount of time to find out any news about Huanhuan in this vast world.
Lin Dong did not ask Chu Yang or Sun Wukong for help, nor did he even consider asking Qin Tian for assistance.
Qin Tian is a member of the Great Thousand Palace, so it's not appropriate for him to get involved in this kind of thing.
Chu Yang had only met him by chance, and his willingness to help him gather information was already more than enough.
Sun Wukong saved the entire Tianxuan Continent back then and gave himself a great opportunity, so how could he be so greedy?
"You have spent many years accumulating experience in the lower planes and hiding your talents in the outer realms. Now that you have finally arrived in the Great Thousand World, it can be said that your accumulated strength has finally been unleashed..."
Chu Yang smiled and looked at Lin Dong and the others, "I imagine it won't be long before your strength improves even further!"
"At that time, even the Ice Spirit Clan will have to give them some face."
"Of course, there are countless powerful beings in the vast world, and a rootless duckweed is always somewhat weak and powerless."
Lin Dong understood that Chu Yang was implying that he should form or join a certain force so that he would have enough confidence to face the behemoths in the Great Thousand World.
"That's all I have to say. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can crush this wooden plaque, and I will come to your aid immediately."
Chu Yang stood up, handed a wooden plaque to Lin Dong, and then stretched and said, "I will be in seclusion on the Holy Abyss Continent for a period of time, and will leave after I come out of seclusion."
"I hope that when we meet again, you will all be famous throughout the world!"
After saying that, he vanished from the spot in a flash.
Sun Wukong curled his lip and said, "Why didn't I get this kind of treatment back then?"
Han Que, who was not far away, covered her mouth and chuckled. She was one of the first people to follow Sun Wukong and had witnessed firsthand how difficult it had been for him in the foreign lands over the years.
They were constantly walking on the edge of life and death; a single misstep could lead to utter ruin.
Lin Dong smiled at Sun Wukong and said, "Brother Monkey, now that we have accurate information, we must leave. Next time we meet, I will definitely treat you to a drink!"
Sun Wukong nodded. Finally, Lin Dong exchanged a glance with his wife, sister, and two brothers before taking off into the air.
On the way to the teleportation array, Lin Yan scratched his head and asked, "Brother, since Brother Chu gave you information about your sister-in-law and that wooden tablet, why is he unwilling to take direct action and go to the Ice Spirit Clan to help you retrieve your sister-in-law's remnant soul?"
Before Lin Dong could speak, Lin Diao said irritably, "Brother Chu is intentionally testing us, can't you see that?"
"Refinement?" Lin Yan was momentarily stunned.
Lin Dong smiled and said, "That wooden plaque will be used sooner or later, but if I ask him for help to save Huanhuan, he will probably be very disappointed."
Lin Diao changed the subject, "Where are we going now?"
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Dong raised his eyes and said, "The southern border of the Great Thousand World!"
"As Brother Qin mentioned before, due to the counterattack of the Demon Suppression Continent and the commotion caused by Brother Monkey in the outer regions, the pressure on the borders of all parties has increased sharply."
"The situation in the south is now the most critical; when the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact?"
"To protect the Tianxuan Continent and our loved ones, resisting the evil race is of paramount importance!"
"You want to build up your influence in the south?" Ling Qingzhu grasped Lin Dong's hand.
Lin Dong nodded, his eyes sharpening. "This is exactly what Brother Chu expected of me. He has helped me time and time again, how can I let him down?"
Lin Qingtan blinked and asked, "Then what's the name of our organization?"
A hint of reminiscence flashed in Lin Dong's eyes as he smiled and said, "Since everyone on the continent calls me Martial Ancestor, then let's call me 'Martial Realm'!"
…………
Saint Abyss Continent, Great Thousand Tower, Top Floor.
This place used to be the residence of the core elder of the Great Thousand Palace stationed at the Great Immortal Pavilion. However, that core elder is rarely seen, so it has now become Chu Yang's place of seclusion.
While refining the power of faith within the Ascension Talisman, Chu Yang pondered matters concerning Lin Dong.
Just as Lin Diao had thought, he was indeed intentionally testing Lin Dong and the others.
Providing accurate information about Ying Huanhuan was partly intended to make Lin Dong owe a favor, but the main purpose was for Chu Yang to reassure him.
Once it was confirmed that Ying Huanhuan's remnant soul still existed and could be resurrected, Lin Dong had no more concerns.
Next, he only needs to keep getting stronger and gain a foothold in the Great Thousand Worlds. Once he has enough foundation and strength, he will naturally be able to reclaim Ying Huanhuan's remnant soul.
This pressure will accelerate Lin Dong's growth.
However, Chu Yang was somewhat curious about the opportunity that Sun Wukong had given them. After all, even in the Great Thousand World, opportunities that could benefit even a Heavenly Sovereign were extremely rare.
Moreover, Chu Yang already had a full understanding of what happened on the Tianxuan Continent.
In short, Sun Wukong once went to the Tianxuan Continent and suppressed an invasion by the alien demons, giving the Tianxuan Continent a chance to breathe.
He originally intended to eliminate the alien demons in one fell swoop, but due to some unexpected circumstances, he hastily left the Tianxuan Continent.
The so-called unexpected situation was related to that great opportunity.
However, before leaving, Sun Wukong provided some assistance to Lin Dong and the others, accelerating their growth.
This is precisely why Lin Dong was able to break through his cultivation realm ahead of schedule, kill the Demon Emperor, and enter the Great Thousand World.
Just as things settled down on the Tianxuan Continent, Sun Wukong also resolved the relevant matters concerning the opportunity, so he simply sent Lin Dong and the others, along with Qin Tian, over there.
However, there is a key problem: those who come to the Great Thousand World from the lower plane need to transform their spiritual energy. The spiritual energy outside the realm is too mixed, which makes this process extremely difficult.
It took Lin Dong and the others three whole years to barely convert all their strength into spiritual power, but they didn't have time to fully digest the opportunity they had gained, which also delayed their advancement in cultivation level.
That's why Chu Yang said they had been accumulating strength for a long time, and that Lin Dong and the others' strength would improve by leaps and bounds soon!
By then, even if the Ice Spirit Ancestor invited the Western Heaven Battle Emperor, he would not be able to change the final outcome.
If the Western Heaven Battle Emperor were to develop lustful thoughts towards Huanhuan as in the original story, he would likely be suppressed by Lin Dong.
Before long, Chu Yang had refined all the power of faith.
Some of this power of faith came from the powerful figures in War Demon City, while the other part was accumulated over the past few days after his return to the Great Thousand World.
If his deeds on the Demon Suppression Continent and the impact of his newly crowned Demon Slayer King only earned him the respect of many powerful figures in the Great Thousand Worlds.
His return alive this time, and the rescue of tens of thousands of people from beyond the realm, completely shocked everyone who knew about it!
Most importantly, Chu Yang's trip to the outer realms was not like a "secret mission," but rather caused a huge commotion.
Leaving aside the possibility that the anomalies in the heavens and earth might be related to him, his feat of slaying three Asura Demon Emperors in succession is nothing short of a heroic act!
The Great Thousand Palace did not deliberately suppress the news of this matter; almost everyone who reached a certain level of strength or power knew about it.
After all, this is something that can greatly boost the morale of the entire world, so there's no need to hide it.
Furthermore, it is essential to ensure that the powerful figures and forces guarding the borders of all sides know why the extraterrestrial evil race has suddenly revolted.
Initially, some individuals or forces expressed their dissatisfaction with the fact that someone had caused a great disturbance, leading to an attack by the extraterrestrial evil race and resulting in heavy losses for them.
But after learning the whole story, no one harbored any resentment; only deep respect remained.
The newly promoted Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace had just killed three Nether Demon Emperors and one Profound Demon Emperor when he single-handedly stormed into the outer realms and killed three more late-stage Profound Demon Emperors in the heart of the outer realms!
