Chapter 221 Persuasion
Hearing the words of the man in front of him, Gui Yin felt a little relieved. He even bowed and treated him as a half-teacher and half-master, "Your Majesty Xuanyuan, I am willing to obey your orders!
I just don't know what I should do now? The Tianluo Demon Sect has invaded the Heavenly Demon Realm in a big way. As the bloodline of the Demon King's attendant, I should return to the Heavenly Demon Realm to resist the invasion of the Demon Realm.
But the True Lord's decree has not been lifted, so I cannot easily return."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry. In the battle between the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Demon Realm, there will be no True Lords taking action. At most, it will be a battle between the Golden Cores. The Heavenly Demon Realm will not be in danger of extinction. Instead, the Southern Continent is more important.
This battle for luck and certification is the most crucial. After all, having one more True Lord will be much more useful than killing ten Golden Elixirs.
Guiyin, do you still have the heart to become a True Lord?"
As soon as these words came out, Gui Yin's face turned pale, and he said with a stiff upper lip: "Little demon, I don't dare!"
"In the past, you and I were not allies, and we did not have much interest in each other. It is understandable that you were plotting against my disciples.
But now that I have spoken out today, I am giving you a chance to mend your ways.”
There was no coldness on Li Yuan's face, he just spoke calmly.
He knew very well how Li Xuanyue got her purple gold destiny. It was obtained by relying on the secret method bestowed by Gui Yin and sacrificing all spirits.
In the past, this old snake had no good intentions. According to the tradition of Guishui, he would most likely wait until Li Xuanyue ascended the throne, and use his status to transform Gui into Zhen, and become the True Water Golden Elixir. In this way, he could save thousands of years of cultivation time, and then rely on the luck of the Nanjue Continent to seize the position of True Water!
Li Yuan already knew about it, so he had been on guard against him, but now something unexpected has happened, Yuan and Gui have united, and since both parties are on the same boat, they can no longer blindly pursue past plans and scheming.
The most important thing is to use all available forces to fight against the enemies all over the sky, which is in the best interests of the moment.
Gui Yin bowed his head and said respectfully: "Little demon, remember this in your heart and never dare to do it again! When Li Xuanyue ascends the throne, I will do my best to help you!"
"It's enough that you have this intention. As for her, maybe there is another destiny." Li Yuan shook his head and laughed, "Next, you should follow the original plan.
The battle for destiny in the Nanjue Continent has begun, and the Qi Ling Sect will see its heyday again.
The Tianqi Immortal Sect has been lost in the long river of time and has become a thing of the past, but the Qiling Immortal Sect will surely rise one day in the future."
After he said this, the light and shadow dissipated into drops of mist and disappeared with the wind. Beside the Gui Pool in Tianyao Valley, Guiyin slowly raised his head, and a determined and eager look appeared in his eyes.
Qi Ling Immortal Sect? Each of the twelve immortal sects under the Heavenly Palace has more than one True Lord, which is much stronger than the latter few in the Nine Continents Taoist Sect.
He, Guiyin, also has the opportunity to ascend to the position of True Lord!
…
In the Qi Ling Sect, on the Law Enforcement Peak, Taoist Yuanchu closed his eyes and concentrated. His soul was constantly filled with messages from all over the world entering his mind. The vast amount of information overwhelmed him and he had no time to practice at all.
In fact, even if he had time to practice, he would not be able to improve his cultivation.
Yuanchu was forcibly promoted to the Golden Elixir level by the master with the True Water Divine Power, which was already a way to cut off his own path.
Even though the four waters of Water Virtue are closer than the divisions within the other virtues, transformation within Water Virtue is easier.
But the Four Waters are still four channels after all. Even if they are combined and transformed, it is difficult for them to fit in perfectly.
As for the position of True Water that Guiyin wants to seek, it also requires the consent of the three True Lords of Water Virtue, Gui, Zhen and Ren, and it is only possible if they work together.
Although Guishui is suppressed now, Yuanshui has come into being.
The source of all waters comes from Yuanshui. As long as there is help from Yuanshui Zhenjun, Guiyin still has the possibility of attaining true water.
As for True Lord Yuanshui, all the True Lords in the Heavenly Palace believed that Li Yuan would definitely be able to prove it.
Because even if Xuanming and Yuanshui merged, they were still two paths after all, and the position of Zhenjun absolutely could not have two paths coexisting. Since the beginning of the world, many amazing and talented people have never been able to do it.
Yuanshui and Xuanming alone are already extremely powerful True Lords, and even the First Xian cannot completely integrate the two.
If he were to prove his mysterious destiny, the True Lords would not allow him to succeed. If he were to prove his primordial water, there would still be a slight chance, and this was the only way the True Lords in the Heavenly Palace left for him.
But in fact, Yuanchu knew that he might not be able to attain the position of Yuanshui!
They may not even choose to become the so-called True Lord!
Taoist Yuanchu stood on the Law Enforcement Peak. He had never set foot on this mountain, but everything in the world knew about it.
…
On the top of the General Affairs Peak, in the palace, the lights were on brightly, and it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Wang Chaochen, who was wearing a dark yellow robe, was concentrating his mind on the dozen or so jade slips on the table, checking one by one the records on them, including the number of troops sent by disciples from each peak, the needs for the dispatch of various materials, the rear supply routes inside the mountain gate, and the arrangements for disciples guarding the places where spiritual objects were produced, and so on.
In the hall, the masters of the eight peaks all stood in the hall, looking at the head of the sect with solemn expressions.
The person who holds the greatest power among all the peaks of the Qi Ling Sect is the leader. The launch of a war requires extremely precise preparations. Whether it is against a strong enemy or a weak one, countless aspects of preparation must be made.
They had been preparing for this battle for nearly eight years, and almost half of the disciples in the sect were mobilized!
This number is already extremely terrifying. For a large Jindan sect, if half of its disciples are mobilized to start a war, any mistake will cause serious damage and even affect the fate of the entire sect.
The fate of tens of thousands of disciples depended on the nine jade slips in front of them, and all this started because the sect's ancestor personally ordered the war.
The ancestor only issued such a decree, and countless disciples were willing to sacrifice their lives and give up everything to fight for it.
Wang Chaochen read for more than an hour and let out a long breath. He glanced at the masters of the eight peaks and knew that the jade slip in front of him contained the calculations and struggles of each peak and faction. The interests of ordinary disciples must have been harmed and there must have been all kinds of unfairness.
But if he denies the resolution of each peak at this moment, it will inevitably take a very long time to readjust, and it will inevitably cause disputes and conflicts with the masters of each peak, delaying the time for the army to be dispatched. I am afraid that the ancestor will blame him.
After he finished thinking, he said, "The decisions and marching and fighting strategies made by the peak masters are all very detailed. I will submit all the decisions to the ancestor for his review tomorrow. If the ancestor does not give any instructions, then we will send the troops in three months according to the decision!
If you have any more objections, we will have to make further revisions. You have all worked hard during this period, so please go back and have a good rest."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the eight peak masters all relaxed slightly. It seemed that the sect leader would still give them face. There were many details in these reports that more or less concealed their selfish motives. When they submitted them, they were still worried that they would be rejected by the sect leader.
But now it seems that the leader is still kind-hearted and is quite tolerant towards them.
After the eight peak masters completed their ceremony, they withdrew one by one. Wang Chaochen continued to pick up the jade slip and looked at it carefully again.
The jade slip contains many details, listing everything clearly.
Wang Chaochen looked at the rigor between the lines and felt a little relieved. It seemed that all the peak masters had put in a lot of effort.
"Da~"
There were subtle footsteps, and a disciple from the hall walked in and bowed softly, "Master, the master of Fufeng Peak is outside the hall and wants to see you."
Wang Chaochen's mind moved, and he withdrew his thoughts from the jade slip and said, "Please come in."
He wondered in his heart, why did Senior Brother Li leave and come back? Could it be because of this jade slip?
As he was thinking, footsteps gradually sounded outside the door. Li Hanxing, dressed in a blue robe, walked in, raised his hand and said, "Greetings, Master!"
"Thank you for your courtesy, senior brother. I'm back now, but is there anything you missed?" Wang Chaochen said with a gentle smile.
"Master, I feel that there are omissions in some aspects of this jade slip, so I came to see you and ask you to withdraw the jade slip and make further revisions." Li Hanxing replied.
"Oh? What's wrong with that?" Wang Chaochen smiled and replied, "I've read the details of Fufeng. I've reported 100,000 magic talismans, 100 treasure scrolls, and prepared more than 100 talisman formations. According to the formation, they should be arranged behind the puppets. When the real armies meet, they will use the talisman formation and the Hundred Puppet Formation to cover and break through the opponent's formation to reduce the casualties of the disciples.
There are many other places that are also quite good, and it also lists nine emergency methods, which is extremely brilliant among all the peaks."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Li Hanxing's face turned even paler. He suddenly half-knelt down and said, "Master, you must not hand it over to the ancestor!"
"Why?" Wang Chaochen was slightly stunned, "Are you worried that the quantities of various materials recorded in these jade slips are all false?
If it's because of these, there's no need to worry. I've sent people to investigate the number of supplies on each peak. There may be slight differences in the numbers, but it's impossible for them to falsify the large numbers."
"No!" Li Hanxing sighed, "Master, you are still young, and the other seven peak masters are all young people who have only become true cultivators in the past hundred years.
Except for me, they have rarely experienced a major war, and even if they have, they have never had the experience of personally commanding a major war.
I am considered to be one of the older ones among the eight peak masters, and I have experienced several major battles with Qi Ling. However, when formulating the combat rules, I could not help but take into account the casualties of my family disciples. For this reason, I put some thought into placing my family disciples in the safer rear.
The headmaster must have seen it too, right? Perhaps the headmaster thought the same thing as I did at first, that it was insignificant.
But I just remembered that the enemy we are facing is the Jiuzhou Dao Sect! It is the Jindan force! The Jingyuan Xuan Palace with a history of ten thousand years.
In the previous battles, it seemed that I, Qi Ling, won every time, but in fact, each time I won, I relied on the divine power of my ancestor, and we disciples made almost no achievements.
It's just that Qi Ling was too weak back then. In order to stabilize people's hearts, the old leader Chen Guan deliberately suppressed the number of casualties and did not publicize it. After all, people's hearts were scattered back then. Qi Ling and I are just a small foundation-building force. The most important thing when facing the power of the golden elixir is morale.
But now, I, Qi Ling, have also become a Jindan force, Jindan against Jindan, lower cultivators against lower cultivators.
Now everyone in the sect is eager for meritorious rewards and looking forward to war. But the sect underestimated the enemy! What we need to face is a powerful Jindan force with a history of thousands of years. In addition, the offensive and defensive forces have changed. If we still prepare for war according to the previous ideas, I am afraid that we will be defeated on the battlefield!"
After hearing what the other party said, Wang Chaochen's face changed slightly. He comforted him, "Maybe you are worrying too much, Senior Brother. My Qi Ling Sect has an endless army of puppets that can defeat all flesh-body cultivators. I am afraid that the scene of a real battle between armies may not necessarily appear. What's more, these ten thousand year old sects have many factions and are uneven. My Qi Ling Sect is now prosperous and our morale is brave. Why worry that we can't defeat them?"
Li Hanxing was even more worried after hearing this and said, "That being said, the courage of the soldiers is necessary to defeat the enemy, but before starting a war, we must think carefully and not be lazy or careless!
Even a hawk will do its best to catch a rabbit! I hope the headmaster will reject these jade slips, reprimand the seven peak masters, reconsider the proposal, and set up the detailed rules again! "
"This... it's just that the battle is approaching. If we re-arrange the troops and march, I'm afraid it will delay the time!" Wang Chaochen hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, please get up first. Let me think about it."
"Master, you must not hesitate. The masters of the various peaks have too little experience in war and will inevitably underestimate the enemy. When the war begins, the Golden Core Ancestor will fight in the Nine Heavens. It will take years to determine the winner, and he will have no time to take care of us.
If we underestimate the enemy, we will be caught by the enemy and suffer a crushing defeat!" Seeing that he was still hesitating, Li Hanxing could not help but persuade him loudly again.
Wang Chaochen was disturbed by him and couldn't help but said, "That's enough, Senior Brother! If the old master was here, would you still be so senior and push us everywhere?"
"Master! This concerns the lives of tens of thousands of disciples. You must not be so careless!" Li Hanxing continued to persuade: "I have no intention of taking advantage of my seniority. I just hope that Master can calm down. The war preparations of the other peak masters have been adjusted in order to protect the lives of their own disciples.
I hope the Sect Master can see clearly!"
"The other peaks have the will to protect us, but your Fu Peak doesn't?" Wang Chaochen said coldly, looking at the old man in front of him and shouted, "That's enough, Senior Brother, please step down. I have made the decision in my mind!"
"Master...you..."
"Since you call me the leader, why don't you step down?" Wang Chaochen interrupted him and glanced at him coldly.
When Li Hanxing saw this scene, he knew in his heart that the other party was furious and had lost his mind. He could only stand up helplessly, salute and leave.
Wang Chaochen, who was standing on the high platform, saw the other party leave, and his anger subsided a little. He sat back on the seat of the head, looking down at the hall, and said in a cold voice: "When the old head was in power, you were not so presumptuous.
Now that they have come to me, everyone dares to offer suggestions. In the final analysis, don't they just look down on me, a sect leader who has no qualifications and no accomplishments?
In this case, I will let you see my abilities. Since I am in this position, I must live up to Qi Ling's disciple and the trust of the old master!"
