Mysterious Void Heaven.
As Fang Qing walked down the street, he noticed that the number of pedestrians had decreased by 90% in one go.
The remaining few cultivators were mostly in a hurry, discussing the renewed conflict between the two countries.
"Hmm—many True Lords are preparing to attack Xuanxu Heaven, and ninety percent of the cultivators inside have also fled—it's utterly deserted."
After observing for a while, he left the Xuanji Immortal Palace and arrived at another grand hall.
The mugwort on the ground emitted a rich, incense-like aroma, and Bai Ze had been waiting for a long time.
"It's over, it's over—those True Lords have already started their attack, I don't even have a chance to detonate the Xuanji Undying Palace—"
Bai Ze kept talking incessantly, his fur shimmering with wisps of black light, as if he were about to turn evil at any moment.
"What does 'detonating the Xuanji Immortal Palace' mean?"
Fang Qing asked.
"This was also one of my master's plans back then. He opened up the Xuanxu Heaven to allow cultivators from all over the world to exchange ideas, but at the same time, he planted a seed in their minds. Once someone plotted against my master, this seed could be detonated, causing nine out of ten cultivators in the world to die. Don't underestimate those lower-level cultivators, who are like ants. They are the foundation of spiritual energy and spiritual rice. If nine out of ten of them die at once, the entire cultivation world will be ruined, and the cultivation of countless True Lords will be greatly damaged. With this as a backup plan, any True Lord who wants to plot against my master will have to think twice."
Bai Ze explained, "But those True Lords are not easy to manipulate either. From the beginning, they imposed restrictions on Xuanxu Heaven, which meant they could only recruit people in Northern Zhou and Southern Wu—making the detonation effect much less effective. Now, they've even banned that part—"
From this, it seems your owner isn't a good person either.
Fang Qing couldn't help but scoff inwardly: "Planning to kidnap all the cultivators in the world as their own protective shield? Hmm—this approach is quite similar to some old demons in the novels I read in my previous life. They either restrict all the water veins in the world or cultivate some kind of thunder technique capable of destroying heaven and earth, making the righteous path afraid to fight them. Basically, they want to possess a powerful weapon to make their enemies hesitate to act—it's practically the same thing."
But thinking about it, it makes sense. In the environment of the Dao of Qi Cultivation, how could someone who can attain the position of the [Ji Shui] master be a white lotus?
Fang Qing touched his chin, feeling like he had learned another trick.
When I become a True Monarch, should I also restrict all the water veins in the world? If anyone tries to kill me, I can unleash a flood to destroy the world. At worst, I can sink this entire world—
Heaven and Earth: What have I done to offend you?
Thinking about it that way, it actually seems quite interesting.
"Hmm—actually, if there are only a few cultivators from Northern Zhou and Southern Wu, holding onto it won't have any effect of being afraid to harm the enemy. It's better to be generous and just give it up."
Fang Qing had long suspected that this virtual space had ill intentions, but after hearing the full plan, he still tried to dissuade it.
"In a few days, I will completely shut down the Xuanji Undying Palace and use all the power of the cave heaven for defense."
Bai Ze said, "If we have to fight, the other me will be in charge. Although I don't want to admit it, the other side is more ruthless and stronger than me! If you want to send someone, you should let me know in advance, otherwise he will definitely not distinguish between friend and foe and choose to kill them all together."
"That's true. I plan to send two Purple Mansion cultivators to lend you a hand—one in the middle stage and one in the late stage—both Dharma Kings of the Temple of All Beings Without Form."
Fang Qing spoke up.
"All beings are without form—could you be that Buddha's disciple?" Bai Ze was indeed extremely well-informed, and instantly made the connection: "However, there are only a few who cultivate [Female Earth]—so few, so few! One late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator is barely enough, and a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator is simply useless."
"You'll find out then—and now, shouldn't you tell me the truth?" Fang Qing countered.
When this Bai Ze's fur was pure white, it was still quite innocent and naive, making it the perfect time to extract information.
"When the cave opens, I will increase the power of the restriction, allowing only those at the Purple Mansion level and below to enter. At that time, I will need enough Purple Mansion cannon fodder to block those Purple Mansion True Persons. Ideally, they should be able to exhaust their trump cards before they even reach me."
Bai Ze spoke in a low voice: "If a Purple Mansion True Person can replace one of the Golden Core cultivators' techniques, then we will have made a huge profit—"
"That's true, but the enemy probably won't let us have our way. Those Purple Mansion True Persons who have mastered Golden Core techniques are unlikely to use their trump cards on cultivators of the same level."
Fang Qing pondered for a moment.
"Therefore, you need sufficiently strong and numerous Purple Mansions! Ideally, they should be at the pinnacle of supernatural powers—"
Bai Ze said with dissatisfaction, "I also have several True Persons under my command. At this point, we can only take it one step at a time. In this campaign, neither the Donghezi nor the Wuyue lineage will openly show themselves, nor will their sects' Purple Mansions. Only some rogue cultivators will participate, among whom there are very few Great True Persons. Only that Sanmu is worth worrying about. The Purple Mansions on the Demon Path side are like dragons when the wind is favorable and like rats when it is unfavorable, and they will not invest too much. The main target will definitely be the Jiaogong lineage! That Yinglong Envoy will definitely be waiting at Baishui Mountain, just waiting for the cave heaven to fall and there to be no more cover, so he can rush in and reap huge benefits. The Dragon Lord behind him is in [Shenshui] and has long been eyeing [Jishui] covetously. He will not miss this opportunity."
"Just go ahead and slaughter everyone. As long as the cave heaven hasn't completely collapsed, even a Golden Core True Monarch wouldn't know what's really happening inside—"
"So, if you want to survive, you first have to fight off the first wave of Purple Mansion True Persons' probing attacks. Among these Purple Mansion True Persons, those who seem to possess Golden Core trump cards are either the Flood Dragon Palace Demon King or those rogue Purple Mansion cultivators?" Fang Qing roughly understood: "And as long as the cave heaven doesn't collapse, those True Monarchs will at most know whether the Purple Mansion True Persons are alive or dead, but they won't know how they died?"
"That's right. If we can kill all the people who enter the Purple Mansion in one go, the outside world might think that there are still True Monarchs hiding in the Profound Void Heaven, and they won't dare to make a move."
Bai Ze revealed an eager look.
The power of the cave is enough to isolate a True Lord's sight and senses, thus allowing many secrets to be hidden.
Fang Qing, upon hearing this, also felt it was an opportunity.
So, neither the Northern nor Southern Golden Elixir cultivators can intervene, and instead, the Dragon Lord of the Flood Dragon Palace is made the villain? This is indeed a golden opportunity to test the true lords of [Shenshui] and [Jishui]—it shouldn't be missed!
Three months later.
Baishui Mountain.
Sangji followed the Great Dharma King Kumarajiva to a high place in the sky.
Numerous supernatural lights converged, forming a unique space above the clouds, which even cultivators at the peak of the Dao Foundation below could hardly see in reality.
The two Dharma Kings stood on the clouds and saw the Great Master Houxuan.
Grand Master Houxuan nodded in acknowledgment, but thought to himself: Only the Zhusheng Wuxiang Temple from the Secret Realm has come; it seems they are not prepared to participate in the internal strife of the Taiyi Xuanmen.
-
His reason for coming here was also to adapt to the changing winds, rather than to be cannon fodder at the forefront.
Sangji turned his gaze and saw many Purple Mansion True Persons.
In the north, the leader was "Guan Hong Zhenren" (Perfected Person of Viewing Rainbows), and there were several other cultivators from the Purple Mansion.
Through Sangji, Fang Qing unexpectedly met an acquaintance, the Crimson Solitary Immortal who cultivated the [Beak Fire].
This person is a rogue cultivator at the Purple Mansion level, destined to be cannon fodder in this operation.
His gaze shifted, and he saw the Scattered Wood Immortal mingling in the Southern Purple Mansion.
Now, Sanmu is at the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, possessing three supernatural powers, and appears rather reserved and arrogant.
Several Purple Mansion cultivators also arrived from the outer sea, including a demon king. He was a middle-aged man in armor, wielding a three-pointed double-edged sword. His bright armor shone brilliantly, and he was surrounded by the demonic energy of the [Bi Yue], clearly a great demon in the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm!
Although the shockwaves that shook Xuanxu Heaven were secretly instigated by the Golden Core True Monarchs of the Nine Heavens Fire Palace and the Wu Yue Sword Pavilion, infighting among fellow disciples is unsavory, so they certainly wouldn't intervene and would even restrain their subordinates—therefore, the Flood Dragon Palace is the main force, with the scattered cultivators from the North and South providing assistance—while my Secret Treasury and the Demonic Path Purple Palace are merely reaping the benefits—
In terms of fighting spirit, formidable strength, and even the trump cards and methods of the Golden Core stage, the former two are undoubtedly the ones holding the title.
At this moment, dozens of Purple Mansion True Persons gathered, their boundless supernatural powers shining brightly, creating a harmonious scene.
The assembled immortals sipped tea and drank wine, watching the cultivators below, those at the Foundation Establishment stage and those at the Qi Condensation stage, fight to the death, occasionally placing some bets—it was quite an interesting sight.
"In this battle, I favor the Spirit Fire Child in the North. He has great potential and may be able to refine the Heavenly Spirit Fire in the future."
"The Southern Pine Swordsman is no slouch either, and there's also Yun Wuxin—"
"How about we take a gamble and see who survives to the end? We'll bet one Purple Mansion Spiritual Treasure, how about that?"
Fang Qing looked at all of this calmly through Sangji.
For the Golden Core True Monarch, the overall situation is to shake up the Mysterious Void Heaven.
For Master Zifu, the great battle below was merely an appetizer.
Of course, the clash of energies between the North and South, and the fierce battles of 100,000 troops, are most likely to give birth to children of all kinds of destinies.
Some of them directly dispatched their capable disciples and trusted servants to the scene to reap the rewards of luck, destiny, or life force.
Some people bet on a particular Taoist priest, gambling on his future.
If Sangji is willing, he can also select a few destined individuals to be converted into esoteric Buddhism in the future, which would also be quite beneficial.
Those destined for such a fate have a greater chance of breaking through to the Purple Mansion than ordinary cultivators, making them excellent commodities that circulate among the various Purple Mansion cultivators.
There are actually people who have taken a liking to Yun Wuxin — well, this person does have some bad luck.
However, no one had high hopes for Li Bi—he was probably already destined to become Xia Yuanqi's spoils of war. No Purple Mansion True Person dared to interfere, lest they offend a master of the Four Laws, a being with the potential to obtain gold and achieve perfect divine power.
Fang Qing manipulated Sangji to step forward: "Venerable One, this humble monk sees that Yun Wuxin possesses a karmic connection to Buddhism and has the potential to enter the Path of White Bones—"
"Haha, since the master is willing to place his bet, let's see who prevails on the battlefield—"
Across from them, several True Immortals of the Purple Mansion laughed.
"good."
Sangji clasped his hands together and had just agreed when the Venerable Sanmu beside him laughed and said, "Little monk, you cultivate [Earthly Female], and your few supernatural powers can hardly affect your fate, so you're going to suffer some losses—"
As he spoke, a circle of supernatural power emanated from Sanmu Zhenren, revealing him to be the "Camphor Willow God," which he used to influence the fates of each chess piece.
On the opposite side, several True Immortals of the Purple Mansion also took action, some fishing, some catalyzing, and some obscuring the secrets of heaven.
The interplay of various supernatural powers made the battle increasingly intense.
