Mysterious mirror hanging high

Penglai Fairyland, Penglai Mountain

The void shook, and the two immortal palaces escaped from the void one after another. The next moment, dozens of incarnation cultivators filed out of the immortal palaces. The expressions on the faces of these heavenly monarchs with profound auras and at the top of the lower realm were not very good at this moment. The atmosphere was extremely depressed for a while. They did not speak to each other and fell into a strange silence.

"ridiculous……"

Finally, the divinely transformed demonic tiger [Tiger Heavenly Monarch] broke the silence, sneering, "A complete defeat... a complete defeat indeed!"

"Just three people... just three people! They actually beat dozens of us, the Gods of Incarnation, into retreat!"

"If we hadn't hidden ourselves in the Immortal Palace, we would have been wiped out in this battle by those three Divine Cauldron cultivators!"

"Friend Hu, please be patient... This battle is just a test. We still have some cards to play. It's too early to admit defeat now." Yang Dingfeng consoled him.

"A trump card? Your so-called trump card wouldn't be [Qiu Dongxuan], would it? After looking at it today, I'm afraid even adding Qiu Dongxuan would be a drop in the bucket!"

Crane Lord, also a member of the Celestial Demon Clan, shrieked, "I think it's best if we just disband... Those who should ascend should ascend, and those who dare not should hide in caves and immortal abodes to linger... This Immortal Continent will be handed over to the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty."

"The Xianzhou Realm is also the Xianzhou Realm of the demon clan. How can Fellow Daoist He say that..." Xiao Zhenyu said angrily.

"The demon race's fairyland? Hard to say." The white fox [Fox Celestial Monarch] narrowed his narrow eyes and said leisurely, "The human and demon races in the Celestial Immortal Continent have always been at war with each other... Aren't you humans the ones most fond of using the 'those who are not of my race must have different hearts' tactic?"

"When the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty ruled the Immortal Continent, we demons were hunted... Could it be that when your present-day Taoist sect dominated the Immortal Continent, we demons were hunted less?"

"Since we're all going to be hunted anyway, then for us demons, what difference does it make to us who rules the Immortal Continent?"

Yang Dingfeng frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Fox, please don't speak carelessly. In the past, most of the [Demon Beasts] that we humans hunted were those without intelligence. As for the [Demons] that have intelligence, humans don't hunt them wantonly."

"Even if there are conflicts, they are mostly for opportunities, grudges, and revenge. We humans also kill each other, and it is not against you, the demon race."

"Besides, don't you demons also consider the ignorant [Demon Beasts] as your own kind? Bringing up the matter of hunting monsters at this time is a bit excessive."

"Hmph... Qi Tianjun has a clever tongue. We are tongue-tied and can't win against you."

He Tianjun's voice was as sharp as ever: "If you want us demons to stay, that's fine, but you must at least come up with a plan... a feasible plan that actually has a chance of defeating the Shending Immortal Dynasty!"

"Otherwise, are we going to die in vain?"

Yang Dingfeng's brows furrowed into the shape of a "川" character, and he sighed slightly. He turned to look at Lu Yingzhao and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, how are your injuries?"

Lu Yingzhao was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "The injury is quite serious. I'm afraid it will take hundreds of years to recover."

Jing Yu stood aside with an unchanged expression, but something was moving in his heart.

He knew that what Lu Yingzhao said was not true. Her three treasures of essence, energy and spirit could be transformed into each other because of the three flowers gathering at the top of the head. It was true that Lu Yingzhao's physical body was seriously injured at this time, but she could completely transform her spiritual thoughts and magic power into the essence of blood and accelerate the repair of her physical body.

It is estimated that it will take Lu Yingzhao only a few decades to recover to his peak state. If he can get help from recovery rules or healing pills, he can recover even faster.

But since Lu Yingzhao chose to conceal this situation, Lu Yingzhao had his own plans, and he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to jump out and expose it.

But Yang Dingfeng asked again: "How is that person's fighting ability?"

Lu Yingzhao continued, "Very strong! Even among cultivators in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm, he is among the best... He cultivates both his magic and body, and his soul and flesh are one. He is probably even stronger than the [White Abyss Dragon Lord] who ascended before him!"

Yang Dingfeng's face was filled with worry. "Three Divine Tripod Transformations have descended to the lower realms. They are all at the level of Perfect Transformation... They are even stronger than we expected..."

"Let alone winning the battle, to maintain the undefeated state, at least three late-stage Divine Transformation warriors are needed."

"Qiu Dongxuan is crazy and behaves erratically. He can barely be considered a master. Where can we find two late-stage Spiritualization cultivators?"

Guan Lingxiao remained silent, thinking to himself, "Although the [Taixu Sword Scripture] is powerful, it is the most majestic, upright and peaceful righteous martial art. Although it has a promising future, the cultivation process is indeed a bit slow."

"If I had followed the [Slaughter Sword Path] like the inner demon I saw in the inner demon lake, using killing to nourish my mind, perhaps my cultivation level would have risen faster by now... maybe I would have already reached the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm."

"By then, relying on the killing power of the sword cultivators, as well as my own strong foundation and superb sword intent, I may be able to compete with the cultivators in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm."

Xiao Guanying looked unhappy and said coldly:

"If you hadn't repeatedly prevented me from taking charge and rebuilding the country... Heaven would have unified Penglai, if not the five seas and four continents."

"If I can occupy an entire continent, I have the confidence to elevate both my own body and the demon fetus's incarnation to the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm."

"How can we not compete with the Divine Cauldron cultivators then?"

"What's the point of talking about this now? Can we still cram at the last minute?" Yang Dingfeng frowned.

"Naturally."

Xiao Guanying said indifferently, "The way of the [State] lies in the hearts of the people. What is needed is the will of the people and the ability to mobilize their morale... This principle requires the organization of the state, and it is indeed not something that can be accomplished overnight."

"But the Dao of Qian Gang that I, the Lord, have comprehended is a concept similar to the laws of heaven. What I seek is not the hearts of ant-like followers, but the respect of the world's greatest geniuses."

"As long as there are enough talented people who respect the principles of heaven that I have established, my understanding of the [Qian Gang Law] will naturally rise, and perhaps even be able to elevate it to the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm."

The Heavenly Emperor looked at Lu Yingzhao and said, "If a genius like Fellow Daoist Lu, rarely seen in the universe for billions of years, were to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and pledge allegiance to me... my realm and cultivation would skyrocket in an instant."

Lu Yingzhao's face was expressionless as he said, "Xiao Guanying, do you think this is possible?"

Xiao Guanying said, "What if? Whether it's possible or not depends on whether Fellow Daoist Lu considers the overall situation."

Stop making your sister Lu laugh...

Jing Yu rolled his eyes in his heart. Xiao Guanying's moral kidnapping might be useful for Yun Xuance, but it was useless for Lu Yingzhao... In fact, Lu Yingzhao could almost ascend to the fairyland immediately after becoming a god. The reason why he stayed in the fairyland was just to help several of his peers in the Fairy Selection Palace.

Asking her to give up her autonomy, be loyal to the Heavenly Court, and respect the Emperor of Heaven? Xiao Guanying was so lucky to come up with this idea.

Seeing that the Xianzhou Alliance was about to fall apart and part ways unhappily, Yang Dingfeng quickly stepped forward to smooth things over:

"Regardless, everyone has sustained some injuries... We should first return to our respective sects to recuperate. Meanwhile, we should transfer the elite disciples from each sect to the large cave heaven and the two immortal palaces to preserve the fire... If things truly become irreversible, we will have no choice but to prepare for the worst and retreat to the immortal palaces and cave heavens to await the right time!"
