Although Youyou knew the method to reseal, it wasn't something she could do immediately. First, the location of the seal was crucial; the Demon Realm's gate was currently sealed at Tian Sheng Mountain, so the reseal could only be done there. Second, there was the sealing array. Youyou had already devised the method for setting up that array when the temple disappeared.
This magic array differs from ordinary arrays because it contains a trace of the power of rules, which is why it can seal the demon realm. You You doesn't know much about arrays; she needs time to familiarize herself with this one so that she can successfully set it up on the first try.
However, with Yuan's father providing online guidance, this wasn't a difficult problem. Furthermore, regarding the arrangement of the energy within the crystals, Youyou was initially worried that not having fully accepted the inheritance might have some impact.
She later tried it and found that there was no need to worry at all. Although the power of the crystal could not be stored in her body, the energy inside was very obedient. As long as she had a thought, it would automatically operate according to her wishes, just like the energy in her own body.
Location, method, and energy have all been resolved, so only one problem remains, which is the most important point—the timing of setting up the formation!
The seal on Tian Sheng Mountain has been weakening and will completely disappear within ten years. The Underworld Envoy has also said that this seal cannot be repaired and can only be re-established. The ten-year period has certainly not yet arrived, so there is a problem with setting up the formation.
They need to remove the old formation to make room for a new one. This means that during the formation change, they will inevitably need to actively open the Demon Realm for a period of time, and this time will not be short, about an hour. In other words, they must hold the border within this hour to prevent the Demon Realm from taking advantage of the situation, so the timing of the seal is extremely important.
Youyou immediately informed all the sects and factions about obtaining the sealing method, and also discussed the timing of the official sealing with the representatives of the three realms.
“I think the sealing should be done sooner rather than later. The sooner we reseal it, the sooner we can resolve the threat from the Demon Realm. It would be best to start the sealing immediately,” a celestial maiden suggested. “Didn’t Sect Leader You say that the Demon King of the Demon Realm is about to awaken? If we wait until he awakens before sealing him, it may be even more difficult.”
“That’s right, I agree. We should seal it off as soon as possible before the demon realm notices.”
“But… no one knows the situation in the Demon Realm. If that Demon King has already awakened, wouldn’t our rashly activating the formation now be playing right into their hands?” Another cautious voice said with some concern. “The current strength of the Three Realms is simply no match for the Demon Realm. Although the seal will only be open for an hour, Sect Master You will have to focus all his efforts on setting up the formation. If they intend to sabotage it and prevent the seal from being completed, then we…”
"Yes, we shouldn't rush things. It's best to make thorough preparations before launching an attack."
“That’s right. The seal on Mount Tiansheng will last for another ten years. We can take our time to set it up and ensure it’s foolproof…”
Seeing that both sides had valid points, the exact time for the sealing could not be determined for the time being.
"What do the emperors think?" The celestial maidens discussed for a long time, but noticed that the representatives of the celestial realm had remained silent. One of them couldn't help but ask. After all, if the demon realm were to invade, these cultivators who had not yet ascended would not be able to stop them. The main fighting force still depended on the celestial realm, so they should have a greater say.
"Then... how about three months from now?" After a while, the Nine Heavens Emperor's voice finally rang out. "Three months should be enough time for us to prepare. If that's not enough, then it only proves that the Three Realms are not strong enough, and no matter how many defenses we make, it will be in vain." After saying that, he didn't forget to mention his beloved, "Emperor Hongfei, what do you say?"
After a while, Hong Fei's voice came through, clear and firm, "I will listen to the sect leader!"
As soon as she said this, the other emperors lined up and responded one after another.
“That’s right, I’ll follow the Lord’s orders!” said the sixth brother.
"I will follow the Heavenly Maiden's arrangement!" said the fourth brother.
"I'll listen to Grandpa." (Second and fifth sons)
Ninth Brother: "..."
The celestial maidens: "..."
Damn, why do I feel like I lost for no reason?
"Sect Leader You...?" The topic inevitably returned to You You.
You You thought about it carefully before speaking, "Everyone's points are valid, but I think three months is too long. Since we're going to resolve this, let's resolve it sooner rather than later. We'll start resealing Tian Sheng Mountain in ten days."
"Ten...ten days!" Not only the Heavenly Maiden, but even the Ninth Prince was shocked.
“That’s right!” You You nodded. “Ten days is enough time for everyone to gather at Tian Sheng Mountain and make arrangements. The longer we delay, the weaker the seal on Tian Sheng Mountain will become. Although theoretically the seal can hold for another ten years, do you really think we have ten more years?”
Everyone fell silent, finally realizing what was happening. Right, the seal could hold for ten years, but that didn't mean the demons would obediently wait ten years. With the seal weakening, the demons could break free at any moment, perhaps even the next instant.
"The question now is not whether we can break the formation or not, but when the enemy will break the seal!" You Youyue said with concern. "So now that we know how to reseal it, we must hurry, we can't delay for a moment."
"But Sect Leader You..." the celestial maidens were still somewhat worried, "The disciples of various sects have only just begun to intensify their cultivation. Although there have been some progress in the past few years, it's still a long way before we can truly deal with the demon race..."
This is also a problem that all the celestial maidens are worried about. Mortal cultivators are basically just cannon fodder when fighting against demons. Nowadays, there is frequent interaction between the immortal and mortal realms, and various sects have indeed produced one or two immortals, but this little bit of combat power is simply not enough.
"Yes, Sect Master You, it's alright if the Demon Clan comes out in small numbers when the seal is changed, but if they come out in full force... I'm afraid our role will be limited. Even if there are immortals at the Ninth Heaven Realm, I'm afraid..." What they were worried about was that they wouldn't be able to stop them all. Even if only one or two rushed out, they would have to sacrifice their lives to save them.
“You’re right, the strength of the Three Realms is not enough to stop all the demons right now,” You Di nodded.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then they heard her tone change.
"Therefore, I plan to leave the task of stopping the demons to the Phoenix Clan and the Divine Realm!"
Huh? Huh!!!
The celestial maidens: "..."
All the immortals: "..."
What did they just hear?
"God...God...God Realm?!"
Is this the divine realm they're thinking of? You must be kidding me!
"Oh?! Didn't I just tell you?" Youyou was taken aback. "I've already opened the gate to the divine realm."
"..."
"Don't worry, it's all been arranged. They'll be coming down to the mortal realm to help in a couple of days. Remember to be enthusiastic and bring your female disciples out for a stroll, you know what I mean!"
Everyone: "..."
Understand...understand what? What do they need to understand? Explain yourself!
