Chapter 235: The Battle For the King’s Territory, Li Changye Appears Again
In the Qingyun Dao Sect.
On the rear cliff, Xiao Muxue was standing alone.
She looked extremely depressed and was holding a wine gourd in hand while staying silent, seemingly thinking about something.
Ye Ping quickly walked over.
Upon seeing Xiao Muxue, he couldn’t help but speak up.
“Greetings, Eldest Senior Sister. I’m back.”
Things were different from before.
In the past, Xiao Muxue would be carefree and jovial when she saw Ye Ping. But now, she looked extremely solemn without a single smile on her face.
Ye Ping somehow felt curious and nervous because of her austerity.
“Junior Brother.”
“I gave you a task some time ago, do you still remember?”
Xiao Muxue asked calmly.
“I know.”
“Eldest Senior Sister, didn’t you say to wait half a year?”
Ye Ping nodded. He remembered that she had given him a task, but at that time, she said that he could wait for half a year.
“Yes, you do have to wait for half a year. It’s just meant for sharpening you and letting you gain some experience. I plan to take you to a place now.”
Xiao Muxue said slowly, making Ye Ping extremely curious.
“Where to?”
Ye Ping asked.
“The King’s Territory.”
Xiao Muxue’s words made Ye Ping even more curious than before.
King’s Territory?
Ye Ping was rather shocked.
Seeing how confused Ye Ping was, Xiao Muxue looked extremely calm.
She then explained slowly, “The so-called King’s Territory is actually an ancient ruin located on Extreme Middle Earth.”
“This ruin is called the King’s Territory because it would be activated once every 500 years, and each time it’s activated, there will be an unprecedented battle.”
“Anyone who can win will be the king of the generation and obtain unimaginable benefits. Ye Ping, do you want to go?”
Xiao Muxue asked.
She originally wanted Ye Ping to go elsewhere, but to her surprise, the King’s Territory had been activated so she immediately thought of taking Ye Ping there.
The battle of the King’s Territory was a creation, and a supreme one for Ye Ping.
Hearing what Xiao Muxue said, Ye Ping naturally felt excited.
However, he was still rather bewildered.
“Eldest Senior Sister, I’m naturally willing to go, but can I go there with my current cultivation level?”
It was not that Ye Ping didn’t want to go, but rather, he felt that he wasn’t qualified to.
Hence, he asked.
However, Xiao Muxue, who was on the cliff, took a sip of wine before looking at Ye Ping.
“Junior Brother, you’re so silly.”
“Since I asked you to go, it means that you’re fit enough.”
“However, the King’s Territory is indeed very dangerous, but we immortal cultivators are put in dangerous situations all the time in the first place.”
“There are battles for luck, battles between dynasties, battles for power, battles between immortal sects, and battles of immortal cultivation, all of which are for a chance of survival. If you’re so timid and scared of everything, what’s the point of talking about the Dao of immortal cultivation?”
Xiao Muxue chuckled.
Her voice made Ye Ping enlightened.
He thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case. Besides, although he hadn’t vied for anything, everything seemed unfavorable for him during his journey in immortal cultivation so far.
If he continued at this rate, it would indeed be bad for him.
After all, if he merely mediated and cultivated, he definitely wouldn’t be able to reach the immortal realm.
If doing that would allow him to become an immortal, everyone would do the same. There would be no need to establish a sect.
At the thought of this, Ye Ping immediately nodded.
“Eldest Senior Sister, I understand.”
Xiao Muxue nodded in satisfaction after hearing Ye Ping’s answer.
She then continued to say, “Ye Ping, the battle for the King’s Territory is just a test. Your priority is to stay alive.”
“Don’t be overly compet.i.tive.”
Xiao Muxue reminded, for fear that Ye Ping would act rashly.
“I understand. But Eldest Senior Sister, when are we going to go to this King’s Territory?”
Ye Ping asked.
“In seven days’ time, I’ll take you to King’s Territory.”
“In the meantime, you can get ready too. I know that many powerhouses will be at the battle for the King’s Territory this time, some of whom are the geniuses of geniuses.”
Xiao Muxue said seriously.
“Genius? Sure. Eldest Senior Sister, I’ll go get ready.”
Ye Ping was looking forward to it.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Xiao Muxue didn’t say anything else.
Ye Ping turned around to leave.
After Ye Ping left, Xiao Muxue, who was on the rear cliff, also gradually disappeared.
An entire hour later.
Xiao Muxue appeared in the Qingyun Mountain Range.
At the same time, there was a figure standing in front of her.
It was a man.
If Ye Ping was here, he would probably be surprised.
The reason being, it was Nangong Jiantian.
“Greeting, Your Excellency.”
In the woods, Nangong Jiantian bowed to Xiao Muxue respectfully.
To him, the person in front of him was the strongest existence in the Heavenly Supervisory who was also the true commander who held a supreme position.
“You’re Nangong Jiantian, right?”
Xiao Muxue looked at the latter indifferently and asked in a calm tone.
“Yes, Your Excellency.”
Nangong Jiantian answered simply.
“What are you looking for me for?”
Xiao Muxue asked solemnly.
“Your Excellency, according to the investigation conducted by the Great Xia Dynasty Heavenly Supervisory, the marquis, Lord Qingming, has returned from his trip to the Great Li Dynasty, Great Zhou Dynasty, and Great Ze Dynasty.”
“According to our investigation, Lord Qingming went to those three dynasties to negotiate the matter regarding the new policy.”
Nangong Jiantian hung his head low while reporting those matters to Xiao Muxue.
“New policy?”
Xiao Muxue frowned slightly.
“Yes, Lord. All signs indicate that all the other four dynasties, except for the Great Qian Dynasty, are certainly keen on implementing the new policy.”
“However, it is said that the Great Ze Dynasty seems to want to take the lead as opposed to the Great Xia Dynasty. So, there will be a friction between them, and the new policy will probably drag on for hundreds of years.”
Nangong Jiantian said.
However, as soon as he said that, Xiao Muxue continued to speak.
“What’s the superiors of the Great Xia Dynasty’s take on this?”
Xiao Muxue asked solemnly.
“Your Excellency, the superiors unanimously believe that the new policy is against the law of the world and will lead to a great war between the dynasties and the immortal sects.”
“Nowadays, the five dynasties occupy the world and the immortal sects have already been thoroughly suppressed. If the new policy is really implemented, I’m afraid the living beings will perish, so the Great Xia Dynasty Heavenly Supervisory would obey the orders of the headquarters.”
Nangong Jiantian explained.
Although he did not understand the advantages and disadvantages, he knew how terrifying the new policy would be.
“Obey the headquarters?”
“Okay, go back and inform the top that the matter of the new policy is extremely important, and in a few days, my father will personally go to the Heavenly Supervisory of the Great Xia Dynasty.”
“Also, the King’s Territory is about to open this time. Collate a list of names. I want it by tonight, got it?”
Xiao Muxue instructed Nangong Jiantian to carry out some tasks.
Without hesitation, he agreed.
Soon, as Nangong Jiantian left, Xiao Muxue couldn’t help but sigh.
“New policy, new policy.”
She muttered those words incessantly with a different gaze in her eyes.
At the same time…
In the Chen Nation of the Great Xia Dynasty.
In a mountain range.
Hundreds of figures appeared here.
There was a great array formation in the mountain range that was surrounded by blood. It was the array used for sealing one’s senses and allowing one to avoid the deduction of heavenly secrets.
Those hundreds of figures were all the top echelons of the Fiendcelestial Cult and basically half of the leaders of the Fiendcelestial Cult were gathered there.
If a powerhouse was present and killed them, the Fiendcelestial Cult would suffer heavy damages.
Now that there were so many Fiendcelestial Cult experts, the scheme that they devised must be unique.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of everyone, clad in a large black robe and a hat. His appearance was unclear.
However, there were three red stripes on his black robe, and all of a sudden, everyone bowed to the figure.
“Greetings, Deputy Sect Master.”
Even if hundreds of people spoke at the same time, their voices wouldn’t spread out of the array.
It was the deputy sect master of the Fiendcelestial Cult.
“No need to be so polite.”
He walked towards everyone and slowly spoke while looking at everyone.
“This time, I have summoned all of you here because I have a matter to discuss with you.”
“Our disciples have been lurking in the Great Xia Dynasty. I just found out that Marquis Qingming, the Defender Marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty, has already returned to the dynasty.”
“Marquis Qingming returned this time to inform the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty of the new policy.”
“If there is no mistake, the Great Li Dynasty, Great Zhou Dynasty, and Great Ze Dynasty dynasties have all agreed to the new policy.”
“So, the sect master sent me here to inform you that the battle is about to begin. In the next few days, you should gradually retreat and inform all the undercover moles planted in the sacred lands of the major immortal sects.”
“Tell them to spread the news and sow discord before the new policy is implemented. When necessary, create chaos in this world by all means, regardless of the consequences.”
“As long as the immortal sects and the dynasties go to war, the G.o.ds that we wors.h.i.+p will revive and by then, the world will belong to us, do you know?”
The voice of the deputy sect master was full of agitation. Without beating about the bush, he cut straight to the chase and revealed their agenda for gathering here.
After hearing his words, there was immediately an uproar.
“The four dynasties actually dare to impose a new policy? Are they really not afraid that chaos will break out in this world?”
“Deputy Sect Master, is this true?”
“Great, even heaven is helping us.”
“Hmph the five dynasties have been ruling for so many years, it’s time for a change.”
“Let them be in a dogfight while we sit this out and reap the benefits.”
Everyone sounded extremely excited.
However, at this moment, the deputy sect master could not help but speak.
“Okay.”
“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity this time, especially for the cult. Besides, the sect master has personally gone to contact the sect masters of the other cults. When the time comes for our rise, we can wait for the heavenly fortune to bless us.”
“However, during this time, the sect master has ordered that we have to make sure that we stay hidden and secretly drive a wedge between the dynasties and the immortal sects. If we appear, they’ll probably blame us and make us the scapegoats.”
“So you and others must pay attention. Understand?”
His voice was slightly cold as he informed the crowd.
“We understand.”
Everyone nodded one after another.
At this point, someone spoke up.
“Deputy Sect Master, if nothing can be done, then what should we do about the King’s Territory? We are still planning to send our disciples to the King’s Territory to compete for creation.”
Everyone else chimed in.
The battle for the King’s Territory would only open once every 500 years.
There were a lot of opportunities for creation inside, and there were many forces that would nurture their disciples for going to the King’s Territory.
After all, the chances of creation in the King’s Territory were unimaginable.
If they missed it, it would be akin to losing a huge fortune.
“The sect master has instructed us not to send disciples there.”
He informed the crowd not to send disciples to the King’s Territory.
“Why?”
“Are we giving up a once-in-five-hundred-years opportunity just like that?”
“Sect Master…”
Everyone found those words a bit unacceptable.
After all, the King’s Territory would open once every 500 years.
It was a grand and splendid event. Geniuses that were somewhat competent would be rather stable after entering, and they could obtain the chance of creation that would be difficult to obtain outside for decades or even centuries.
Hence, they indeed felt upset about being asked to give up.
The Fiendcelestial Cult did not gather together, but rather, they were scattered throughout the Great Qian Dynasty. Basically, they had a division in every nation and there would be secret compet.i.tions between divisions.
Hence, they also wanted the geniuses under them to become stronger and obtain more resources.
Now they were told not to compete.
They were naturally a little reluctant.
However, at this moment, the voice of the deputy sect master of the Fiendcelestial Cult sounded.
“The sect master is the one who doesn’t want you to go to King’s Territory.”
“Do you guys want to disobey?”
His voice was cold.
At the mention of the sect master, everyone fell silent immediately.
No one dared to provoke the master.
However, even so, someone couldn’t help but ask.
“Master Chen, can you reveal any information?”
Someone spoke up.
They thought that the sect master wouldn’t issue that order for no reason.
Even if they were told not to reveal themselves, they shouldn’t act like this.
Why would they give up such a good opportunity?
It was free.
“Yeah. Deputy Sect Master Chen, please tell us some information, otherwise we won’t understand.”
“Do you know something, Deputy Sect Master Chen?”
Everyone asked curiously.
He glanced at them.
Finally, he sighed and spoke slowly.
“I know, I’m afraid you probably won’t give up unless I tell you all.”
“According to the sect master, there will be a lot of elites who are going to the battle of the King’s Territory this time, many of whom are genuine supreme elites.”
“However, most importantly, the G.o.d-Slaying Devil Son is going to the King’s Territory. Do you guys understand?”
At this point, everyone fell silent.
G.o.d-Slaying Devil Son.
He was the most terrifying Devil Son of the Fiendcelestial Cult and legend had it that he would be ruthless enough to kill his comrades once he decided to be brutal.
At the thought of this, everyone completely understood why the sect master didn’t want to let them go to the King’s Territory.
If they went, they would be courting their own deaths.
“Okay, go get ready.”
The deputy sect master of the Fiendcelestial Cult then turned around and vanished.
At this moment, in Qingzhou mountains, Jin Nation.
A figure was staring at the stars in the sky quietly.
It was Li Changye.
A voice sounded slowly behind him.
“Changye, you’ve already learned the last move. Now, you’re truly invincible.”
“You’ve also entered the Golden Core realm. This is the King’s Territory ancient token. Take it with you and embark on a life of invincibility.”
“The battle of the King’s Territory is your first battle to revive and rise again. Remember, you are unbeatable.”
The mature voice made his heart shake.
