Chapter 879: The Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Sect, the choice of Lord Jiuling!

Chapter 874: Myriad Beast Demon Sect, Nine Spirits True Lord’s Choice!

“Pacify Liang Country, and replace Jiang Country with Liang Country!?”

During the discussion of the subsequent strategic plan, Xuanjian Zhenjun informed Hunyuan Zhenjun and Zi Guang Zhenjun of Lu Changsheng’s purpose for coming this time.

Upon hearing this, their nervous and uneasy emotions calmed down.

However, when they thought that after the war was settled, their Yue Country would border Jiang Country, which was governed by the Great Dream City Lord, they couldn’t help but sigh.

Currently, Jiang Country is governed by Heaven Sword Sect, and the two Sects are similar in strength, with formidable enemies like Jin Country and Liang Country, making them reliable allies.

But once Jiang Country is governed by this Great Dream City Lord, who captured and killed four Nascent Soul True Lords, their Yue Country will be like fish on a chopping board before Jiang Country.

If the other party harbors dissatisfaction and wants to annex Yue Country, they will be utterly powerless to resist.

However, given the current situation, they could not refuse the Great Dream City Lord’s assistance in the war, and could only agree under Xuanjian Zhenjun’s persuasion.

After the discussion, Hunyuan Zhenjun, Zi Guang Zhenjun, and Sword Saint Monarch released news of the Great Dream City Lord and Yangming True Lord’s achievements.

Zi Guang Zhenjun and Hunyuan Zhenjun also took the Opportunity to refute the rumors.

They stated that Zi Guang Zhenjun and True Lord Yuan Qi were both unharmed.

The previous news of True Lord Yuan Qi’s demise and Zi Guang Zhenjun’s Dharma body destruction was purely a rumor and psychological warfare from Liang Country.

For a time, the news that the Great Dream City Lord and Yangming True Lord were one person, and that he had captured and killed four Nascent Souls, spread like a hurricane across the Yue Country battlefield.

And it spread towards Jiang Country, Jin Country, Liang Country, Wu Country, Endless Desert, and other places.

After all, this news was simply too astonishing.

Yang Ming Immortal Master, who once resisted a Nascent Soul True Lord with Core Formation cultivation in the Han Sha Illusion Domain, and the City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City in Jiang Country, were actually the same person.

As soon as he made a move, he captured and killed four Nascent Soul True Lords of Liang Country, which was simply unheard of.

“The Great Dream City Lord is actually Yang Ming Immortal Master, who once defied Nascent Soul cultivators with Core Formation cultivation in the Han Sha Illusion Domain?”

“Legend has it that Yang Ming Immortal Master used a secret technique back then, burning his life to help Qingluan True Monarch, even sacrificing his Dharma body. Wasn’t he already dead? How could he be the same person as the Great Dream City Lord?”

“He just broke through to Nascent Soul and immediately captured and killed four Nascent Soul True Lords. How is that possible?”

“Is this a psychological counterattack from Jiang Country and Yue Country against Liang Country?”

“This news was released by the high-ranking officials of Jiang Country and Yue Country, and the Cultivators of Crimson Peak Immortal City all witnessed the process with their own eyes. There can be no mistake.”

“This is too astonishing, isn’t it? What is the background of this Yangming True Lord? Is he the Reincarnation of a mighty figure, or did he possess someone and rebuild his cultivation? Otherwise, how could he have grown to such an astonishing level when he was still a Core Formation cultivator thirty years ago!”

Cultivators from Jiang Country and Yue Country discussed this topic, all finding it hard to believe, feeling it was too incredible and fantastical.

After all, for so many years of the Liang Yue War, Yue Country had always been at a disadvantage.

In recent days, the demonic army of Liang Country had even launched a large-scale invasion, capturing cities and forts, causing Yue Country to retreat steadily.

There were even rumors of True Lord Yuan Qi’s demise and Zi Guang Zhenjun’s Dharma body destruction.

But in just a few days, the situation reversed. How could people not be shocked?

Especially, Nascent Soul True Lords are the top existences in the Cultivation World.

They are capable of stirring and governing the shifting tides of the Cultivation World, high above and detached from worldly affairs.

Now, four of them were captured and killed by Yangming True Lord alone, which was truly shocking.

“Yangming True Lord, Great Dream City Lord Changsheng, he’s here!”

Xiao Xiyue and Chu Qingyi had been on the Yue Country battlefield all these years, just like Lu Qingshan, responsible for patrolling, enforcing, and providing support.

Upon hearing the rumors about Yangming True Lord and the Great Dream City Lord, both women were filled with joy, surprise, and bewilderment.

Others might not know, but they naturally knew that this Yangming True Lord, the Great Dream City Lord, was Lu Changsheng.

Xiao Xiyue, for instance, even knew that Lu Changsheng had only gone to Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range three years ago to attempt a Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

Breaking through to Nascent Soul for three years, he then directly captured and killed four Nascent Souls of Liang Country.

Even after a hundred years as husband and wife, having long grown accustomed to Lu Changsheng’s various incredible feats, Xiao Xiyue still couldn’t help but be surprised.

After all, these were four Nascent Soul True Lords.

The Liang Yue War had lasted for so many years, yet only one Heavenly Fiend True Monarch had been lost.

However, immediately after, a surge of pride and longing welled up in her heart.

This was her husband.

If she didn’t have tasks at hand, she would have wanted to rush directly to Crimson Peak Immortal City to meet Lu Changsheng.

Compared to Xiao Xiyue, Chu Qingyi’s mood was more twisted and complex.

She was both happy and delighted for Lu Changsheng’s achievements, and she thought of the Nascent Soul pact he had once made, filled with joyful anticipation.

But she also felt that the distance between herself and him had been greatly widened.

Once, they met in Tian Yuan Secret Realm, she was at Core Formation third layer, and Lu Changsheng was at Core Formation second layer.

At that time, her True Core was shattered, and she re-formed her Core Formation; Lu Changsheng broke through to Core Formation third layer with the Nascent Soul Origin of Tianyuan Zhenjun and her own Yin Origin.

Now, sixty-five years have passed.

Lu Changsheng broke through to Nascent Soul, became famous throughout the world, and captured and killed four Nascent Soul cultivators of Liang Country.

And she had only just broken through to Core Formation seventh layer.

Although to outsiders, her Breakthrough from the Middle Stage to the Late Stage of Core Formation at such a young age could be considered exceptionally gifted, and with a Nascent Soul True Lord as her Master, her future was limitless.

But facing a Prodigy like Lu Changsheng, she still couldn’t help but feel inferior.

Thinking of the Nascent Soul pact she had made with Lu Changsheng, she couldn’t help but think of her son Lu Shouzheng and her Master Caiyun Zhenjun, who were far away in Jiang Country.

Although Xiao Xiyue told her that Shou Zheng was doing well and was being taught cultivation by her Master on Caiyun Peak after she came to Yue Country for support.

The more this was the case, the more she felt guilty towards her Master, not knowing how to face Yun Wanchang, who was like a Master and a mother to her.

As for her son Lu Shouzheng, she felt even more guilt and self-reproach.

At the age when he needed his parents the most, she had been busy outside and unable to return to visit and accompany him.

“If the news is true… the Liang Yue War should be over, right?”

Chu Qingyi looked towards Crimson Peak Immortal City, her heart filled with longing.

She hoped the Liang Yue War would end soon so she could return to Jiang Country to visit her son Lu Shouzheng and pay respects to her Master Yun Wanchang.

As for the fifty-year Nascent Soul pact…

If she had once been conflicted, unsure how to face her Junior Sister and feeling ashamed towards her Master.

But now that Junior Sister Xiao Xiyue had accepted her relationship with Lu Changsheng, and they had a son, Lu Shouzheng, she was incredibly eager to marry Lu Changsheng.

This way, her son would not need to hide his identity when traveling outside.

“Why hasn’t Master arrived yet…”

At this moment, Chu Qingyi’s heart skipped a beat, surprised that her Master had not yet come to aid Yue Country.

Seven years ago, news of her Master breaking through to Nascent Soul outside Jiang Country had spread.

Although seven years was but a fleeting moment for a Nascent Soul True Lord, just a single closed-door cultivation session.

But this amount of time was enough to achieve Minor Achievement in a Divine Ability.

According to her understanding of her Master, given the current urgent situation, as soon as her Divine Ability reached initial success, her Master would rush over immediately.

“Did Master encounter some accident, or is her Nascent Soul afflicted…”

Chu Qingyi couldn’t help but worry, unaware of the situation between her Master and Lu Changsheng.

Although Xiao Xiyue knew that her Master hadn’t been able to come for support because she was delayed by pregnancy and childbirth.

But how could she tell Chu Qingyi such a thing?

Master was pregnant with Changsheng’s child, so she had been resting and giving birth in the Sect all these years, unable to come for support?

She wouldn’t bother with such matters; Lu Changsheng could explain it to her Senior Sister himself!

“What? The Great Dream City Lord and Yangming True Lord are the same person?”

Lu Qingshan, who was rushing back to Jin Yang Sect, was stunned and bewildered upon hearing this news.

Although he didn’t know that the Great Dream City Lord was his father’s alias.

But through Golden Winged Roc and Great Luo Sword Embryo, he already knew that the once renowned Yang Ming Immortal Master was his father.

So, upon learning that the Great Dream City Lord and Yangming True Lord were the same person, he was extremely astonished.

After all, back when the Great Dream Immortal City was attacked by a beast tide, he had seen his father, Chang Sheng Zhenren, and the Great Dream City Lord appear together to fight the beast tide.

“Was one of them fake at the time? That shouldn’t be.”

Lu Qingshan pondered in his heart and immediately guessed what was going on.

External Incarnation Divine Ability!

Although such an External Incarnation Divine Ability is extremely demanding and difficult to Cultivate.

Aside from a very few Core Formation cultivators, only Nascent Soul True Lords can successfully Cultivate it.

But his father’s situation could not be measured by common sense.

So, it was only natural for him to have cultivated the External Incarnation Divine Ability early on.

“Damn, my old man is this fierce!?”

Lu Qingshan was incredibly excited and exhilarated, thinking of his father capturing and killing four Nascent Soul cultivators alone.

He wondered how awesome it would be if he could one day do the same, capturing and killing four Nascent Soul cultivators?

Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle, feeling it would be incredibly exhilarating.

“Go, to Crimson Peak Immortal City.”

Lu Qingshan immediately prepared to rush to Crimson Peak Immortal City to pay respects to his old man and incidentally ask for some benefits.

After all, his old man had captured and killed four Nascent Soul cultivators, and must be incredibly wealthy now.

It was perfectly reasonable for him, as a son, to go and congratulate him and ask for some small gifts.

However, thinking that his younger sister Lu Qingzhu was preparing for Core Formation, he continued to rush towards Jin Yang Sect, intending to bring his younger sister Lu Qingzhu along.

Although he had already prepared Ningjing Pill and Core Formation spiritual items for his younger sister Lu Qingzhu.

He still wasn’t confident about his younger sister’s Core Formation.

Now that his old man was here, having slain four Nascent Soul cultivators, he naturally wanted to bring his younger sister along to visit, see, and congratulate him.

Even if his old man didn’t give him treasures, he couldn’t possibly ignore his younger sister’s Core Formation, could he?

As the achievements of Yangming True Lord spread, the morale of the Yue Country battlefield greatly increased.

The demonic army of Liang Country, however, was inevitably affected, and their morale dropped.

Although these pieces of news had not yet been confirmed as true or false.

But in the past few days, the army had launched a full-scale attack, and now they were suddenly retreating and shrinking their battle lines, which was enough to explain many problems.

At this moment, Beast God Mountain.

“Yangming True Lord, Great Dream City Lord…”

Moro looked at the intelligence regarding Great Dream Immortal City and the Great Dream City Lord.

As for the intelligence on Yangming True Lord, he had already understood it.

“Is this person the Reincarnation of a mighty figure, taking over a body and cultivating again, or is he a Nascent Soul middle stage Cultivator from a certain force in the Central Region in disguise?”

Previously, Moro believed that Yangming True Lord was a top Prodigy from the Central Region’s Xuanmen who came for experience.

But now, based on the strength displayed by Lu Changsheng, he believed that the other party was either the Reincarnation of a mighty figure, taking over a body and cultivating again.

Or he was a Nascent Soul middle stage Cultivator from the Central Region’s Xuanmen, deliberately using the name of Yangming True Lord to disrupt his plans.

“It seems, this place can only be abandoned.”

Moro quietly gazed in the direction of Crimson Peak Immortal City, not intending to participate in this war.

The reason was simple.

He always went with the flow in all wars, or agitated them to escalate, trying his best to create a heaven and earth spiritual atmosphere where demonic power rose and orthodox power waned.

If he personally intervened in everything, how could he possibly manage it all?

Even if he helped conquer territory, he wouldn’t be able to hold it, and it would only attract Nascent Soul cultivators from the Central Region’s Xuanmen to destroy it.

Moreover, this war had already fallen into a disadvantage after Liang Country’s four Nascent Soul cultivators were captured and killed.

Unless he could kill Yangming True Lord, there was no hope of turning the tide.

And according to intelligence, this Yangming True Lord possessed Nascent Soul middle stage strength.

Even if he made a move, he couldn’t kill him, only contend with him.

In such a situation, there was no need to act at all.

Furthermore, this person capturing and killing Heavenly Silkworm True Lord and the other three did not reveal his true strength.

If he acted, there might even be some danger.

His purpose for this trip was only to promote and influence the heaven and earth spiritual atmosphere, preparing for the Old Ancestor’s century-long plan; there was no need to put himself in danger.

Now, the century-long plan was almost ready, and a few places like Liang Country, Jiang Country, and Yue Country didn’t make much difference.

“Nine Spirits True Lord, if Yangming True Lord continues to act and leads Jiang Country and Yue Country in a counterattack, this battle will be impossible to turn around.”

“Your Beast God Mountain is a small branch that once split from the Myriad Beast Demon Sect. If you are willing, I can recommend you to the Myriad Beast Demon Sect.”

“With your talent and potential, going to the Myriad Beast Demon Sect still gives you hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul middle stage.”

A jade talisman appeared in Moro’s hand as he sent a message to Nine Spirits True Lord.

Although he was prepared to abandon Liang Country and the Liang Yue War.

However, Nine Spirits True Lord’s talent, potential, and strength were still quite good.

If he went to the Myriad Beast Demon Sect, completed his Legacy, and utilized the Myriad Beast Demon Sect’s Spiritual Vein fortune, there was a high probability he could break through to the Nascent Soul middle stage.

A Nascent Soul middle stage Cultivator was considered Advanced combat power no matter where they were.

Enough to continue contributing to the coming great tribulation.

“What!?” Nine Spirits True Lord received Moro’s message, his burly body, like a lion, trembled, and the veins in his hands bulged.

He hadn’t expected that this Envoy would be unwilling to exert any effort and directly abandon his own.

Beast God Mountain was his life’s work; how could he be willing to give it up like this?

“Envoy, if you act, this battle might not be without a chance to turn the tide!”

Nine Spirits True Lord immediately rushed over to pay his respects to Moro, hoping he would act.

As long as Moro was willing to act and deal with Yangming True Lord, he could cede benefits and invite Nascent Soul cultivators from Yuan Country or the Endless Desert for assistance.

“Even if I act, I cannot deal with Yangming True Lord.”

Moro stated frankly.

Although he possessed Nascent Soul middle stage cultivation, his potential and Origin had long been exhausted.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to such a remote place to carry out his mission.

He could deal with Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivators, but against a Nascent Soul middle stage Cultivator, he had no confidence.

Especially against a Nascent Soul middle stage Cultivator like Yangming True Lord, who was suspected to be a Reincarnation of a mighty figure and had undergone Possession and re-cultivation, he had even less confidence.

“This…”

Although Nine Spirits True Lord had long guessed that this Envoy’s strength was at most Nascent Soul middle stage, on par with Yangming True Lord’s strength.

Yet, hearing Moro admit it personally, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

“Envoy, you previously said that this war concerns your mission. Can’t you invite other fellow Disciples and friends to help?”

Nine Spirits True Lord asked, unwilling to give up, having already guessed that the Moro in front of him came from the Blood Sea Sect, one of the Seven Demonic Sects.

For a top force in the Southern Wilderness like the Blood Sea Sect, dealing with a Nascent Soul middle stage Cultivator was by no means difficult.

“I will report this matter to the Sect, but this Yangming True Lord, besides being suspected of being a Reincarnation of a mighty figure and having undergone Possession and re-cultivation, might also be a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Central Region’s Xuanmen, deliberately using the name ‘Yangming True Lord’ to bait me into acting.”

Moro explained to Nine Spirits True Lord.

Then he continued, “I know you are unwilling to abandon Beast God Mountain, but this battle no longer has any chance of turning around.”

“However, I can tell you that my Sect will have new major actions in the future. If you go to the Myriad Beast Demon Sect, you still have hope of fighting back and revitalizing Beast God Mountain.”

“As long as you show enough value and potential, the Myriad Beast Demon Sect can also help you get revenge on Yangming True Lord and rescue Heavenly Silkworm and Youyue.”

Moro still approved of Nine Spirits True Lord and had some appreciation for his talent.

The only problem was that Nine Spirits True Lord was too old.

Even if he went to the Myriad Beast Demon Sect, he could at most break through to the Nascent Soul middle stage, with no possibility of further advancement.

“Envoy, please allow me to consider it.”

Nine Spirits True Lord clenched his fists, his face heavy as he spoke.

In the Southern Wilderness Northern Region, Medium Grade fourth-tier Spiritual Veins were rare, and the heaven and earth fortune was insufficient.

Nascent Soul third layer was close to the limit of this Cultivation World.

Wanting to Breakthrough and advance further was incredibly difficult.

He had once considered going to a more vast world to seek Opportunity and Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul middle stage.

But Beast God Mountain was his life’s work, containing his Bloodline descendants, Disciples, and grand-disciples; how could he abandon it?

Now, he faced such a choice again.

“Yangming True Lord! Yangming True Lord!”

Nine Spirits True Lord murmured the name, his eyes filled with infinite killing intent.

Initially, when he saw that Overlord Martial Immortal Master of Wu Country had little lifespan left, he realized the Opportunity had come. He cultivated Heavenly Silkworm True Lord and secretly supported Immortal Master Ming Sha.

Once Overlord Martial Immortal Master passed away, he would lead Liang Country to invade Yue Country.

This battle directly led to Yue Country’s defeat.

Who knew that when he sent Heavenly Fiend True Monarch, Five Poison Sect Leader, and Sect Leader of Heavenly Corpse to interfere with Jiang Country’s Wilderness War, to prevent Jiang Country from aiding Yue Country, Yang Ming Immortal Master would suddenly appear midway, holding back Sect Leader of Heavenly Corpse, leading to Heavenly Fiend True Monarch being captured and killed by Xuanjian Zhenjun, interrupting Liang Country’s attack on Yue Country.

Subsequently, when the Han Sha Illusion Domain opened, Heavenly Silkworm True Lord’s Dharma Body was destroyed by Yang Ming Immortal Master in the Secret Realm, causing Liang Country to be counterattacked by Yue Country and Jiang Country.

Moro’s appearance and support allowed Liang Country to stabilize the situation, and secretly Cultivate Burning Demise True Lord, as well as Yellow Springs True Lord and Youyue Zhenjun, three Nascent Soul cultivators.

But just when victory was within reach, the former Yangming True Lord appeared again, capturing and killing three of his Beast God Mountain’s Nascent Soul cultivators in one fell swoop.

Burning Demise True Lord, whom he had spent resources cultivating, even chose to defect.

In such a situation, how could he not hate Yangming True Lord to the bone!?

If not for this person, perhaps Liang Country would have already occupied most of Yue Country’s territory and was recuperating.

“Envoy, I am willing to go to the Myriad Beast Demon Sect, but what about my Beast God Mountain’s Disciples?”

Nine Spirits True Lord knew that only by going to the Myriad Beast Demon Sect could he hope for revenge and to revitalize Beast God Mountain.

However, he was still very reluctant to part with his Beast God Mountain and unwilling to give it up.

He wanted to know if he could bring them along to the Myriad Beast Demon Sect.

Even if they became an affiliate of the Myriad Beast Demon Sect, he was willing.

“You arrange that yourself,” Moro said hoarsely.

He wasn’t a nanny.

Recommending Nine Spirits True Lord to the Myriad Beast Demon Sect.

On one hand, the other party had the potential to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul middle stage, which could add an Advanced combat power for the coming great tribulation.

On the other hand, if the other party successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul middle stage and made contributions, he, as the recommender, could receive certain rewards.

But what did the Disciples of Beast God Mountain, a bunch of useless people, have to do with him?

In his opinion, these Disciples of Beast God Mountain were useless; it would be better to sacrifice them all as resources.

“Envoy, please allow me to discuss this with Yun Mei True Lord, Seven Kill Sect, and Tianmu Sect.”

Nine Spirits True Lord knew that the Moro in front of him was unwilling to manage his Beast God Mountain, so he prepared to inform Yun Mei True Lord about Moro’s matter and ask for her opinion and thoughts.

After all, if he chose to leave and abandon Beast God Mountain, her Chi Shen Sect would also have no choice but to relocate and withdraw from Liang Country.

Therefore, he wanted to see if Beast God Mountain could be entrusted to Yun Mei True Lord’s care.

It would be best to negotiate with other Nascent Soul forces of Yuan Country through Seven Kill Sect and Tianmu Sect to secure a Spiritual Vein Daoist site in Yuan Country.

Twenty-five years ago, Qiyun Country was occupied and divided by Yuan Country and Sky Net Sect, leaving surplus Spiritual Vein Daoist sites that could accommodate Beast God Mountain and Chi Shen Sect.

Moreover, with the appearance and rise of Yangming True Lord, a Nascent Soul giant, Yuan Country would inevitably feel apprehension and need the alliance of other Nascent Soul forces.

Lu Changsheng was not clear about the situation of Beast God Mountain and continued to be stationed in Crimson Peak Immortal City.

His son, Lu Lingxiao, led Golden Winged Roc and Cultivators from Jiang Country and Yue Country to clear and deal with the Demonic Path Cultivators on the Scarlet Peak Mountain Range front.

Although Crimson Peak Immortal City had been recaptured by him.

However, most of the strongholds and important towns on this front had been occupied by the Demonic Path army and had not been dealt with.

Now that the battle situation was stable and they were preparing for a counterattack against Liang Country, they naturally had to clear out all these Demonic Path Cultivators.

Although Golden Winged Roc was still digesting Jiaolong Shengzi, he was only attending by Lu Lingxiao’s side, which did not affect anything.

On this day, a middle-aged man dressed in a purple cloud-patterned Daoist robe, with a pale face, prominent brow bones, and wearing a Violet Radiance jade crown, arrived at Crimson Peak Immortal City.

Lu Changsheng felt something and walked out of his Immortal Cave.

“Greetings, Yangming True Lord.”

He saw Lu Changsheng and immediately bowed with a hearty smile.

Then, full of emotion, he said, “Yangming True Lord recaptured Crimson Peak Immortal City, captured and killed four Demonic Path Nascent Souls from Liang Country, and turned the tide of the battle. I truly admire you greatly.”

“I only regret that I couldn’t hold out for a few more days, waiting for True Lord to arrive and fight alongside me…”

This man wearing the Violet Radiance jade crown was precisely Zi Guang Zhenjun.

Although he was displeased with the Yangming True Lord in front of him.

However, he had received a piece of news from Xuanjian Zhenjun: Yangming True Lord’s son, the Young City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, was on the Scarlet Peak Mountain Range front.

His abandoning the city and fleeing had caused the other party’s son to be in danger.

Although according to intelligence, the other party’s son was not harmed.

But to avoid the other party settling scores later, he still proactively came to pay his respects and clear things up.

He also took the Opportunity to take away his Violet Radiance Sect’s people and the strategic resources previously stored in Crimson Peak Immortal City.

After all, the upcoming counterattack against Liang Country was a good time to plunder resources and share battle merits.

These personnel and strategic resources could all be put to use.
