Chapter 447 - 440: Eve of Turmoil (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Inside the Cave Mansion, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, and the situation somewhat perilous.
True Monarch Qinglian spoke.
Just a few words, but they directly revealed the harshness of the situation.
A great war has broken out, an unprecedented war has erupted.
Whether it was the previous beast tides or the skirmishes and duels not long ago, in essence, both sides were controlling the scale and intensity of the war.
If the intensity of the war is not controlled, it will spiral out of control, and both sides will pay a huge price.
In the previous beast tides, both sides were continuously attacking, mainly using the war to reduce surplus population, save resources; at the same time, using the war to train troops, select some talents, and accelerate the birth of Golden Core Cultivators and Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Using the war to eliminate those cultivators with bad luck, poor aptitude, poor comprehension, and poor opportunities.
Every time a beast tide strikes, countless cultivators of the Human Race are killed, countless Cultivation Immortality Clans are wiped out, resulting in heavy casualties; similarly, during the beast tides, many earth-level demon beasts, demon race geniuses, etc., are also killed by the strong of the Human Race.
However, no matter how they fought, no matter the casualties, Nascent Soul True Monarchs would never participate in the battle.
It was like a past moment, where no matter how the five rogue nations waged war, they would never use nuclear weapons.
But now, it’s different, Nascent Soul Cultivators have made their move, Divinity Transformation Cultivators have also made their move.
The demon race didn’t act, but when they did, it was a thunder strike, using a secret realm to directly trap the strongest East Pole Celestial Venerable, and killed the Beidou Celestial Venerable, leaving only three Celestial Venerables in Chu Country.
Three Divinity Transformations of the Human Race, eight Divinity Transformations of the Demon Race.
The Human Race is in an extremely disadvantageous position.
At the same time, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Human Race and the Nascent Soul Demon Emperors of the Demon Race are fighting at the front lines.
The two sides are fighting bloody battles together, entering out of control, no longer caring about rules, morality, or principles, and sparing no expense to kill the enemy.
When war has no rules and killing the enemy is the goal, war also goes out of control.
Listening to True Monarch Qinglian describe the situation, Lu Xuanji felt danger, unease, and a faint fear.
Chu Country might fall.
Once Chu Country falls, there will be no intact egg under the overturned nest, and the Ye Family will also face calamity.
Even he might perish.
"Now, what is the situation on the front lines?"
Lu Xuanji asked, seeming to find the inquiry not accurate enough, and asked: "What about the victory or defeat of those Divinity Transformation powerhouses? Human Race has three Divinity Transformers, Demon Race has eight Divinity Transformers, can’t the Human Race win?"
"I don’t know!"
True Monarch Qinglian said: "These messages are sent by True Monarch Feiyu and others, and the truth of the information cannot be verified, the location of the battle is unknown, and where the East Pole Celestial Venerable is trapped is also unknown! These are all unknown, the only known fact is that the Divinity Transformation powerhouses are in a battle!"
"Therefore, under the orders of both sides, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs are also fighting, and now it’s chaotic outside."
"As for where the Divinity Transformation powerhouses are fighting and what the situation is, that is also unknown. Many True Monarchs activated secret techniques, trying to contact the Human Race Divinity Transformation powerhouses, but are unable to."
Lu Xuanji said: "The Human Race has three Divinity Transformers, and the Demon Race has eight Divinity Transformers. If one Demon Race Divinity Transformation leaves the battlefield and attacks Chu Country, can the strongmen of Chu Country resist the Divinity Transformation?"
"No!"
True Monarch Qinglian said: "In the path of cultivating immortality, the larger the gap in the later stages, the more there was once Golden Core Peak defeating Nascent Soul early stage, but never a Peak of Nascent Soul defeating Divinity Transformation early stage, not even one case. In Chu Country, there are over a hundred Nascent Soul True Monarchs, but even together they can’t defeat a Divinity Transformation Cultivator!"
"Their gap is like the gap between a hundred sheep and a tiger, no matter how many sheep, they cannot defeat a tiger. The only thing capable of defeating a tiger is another tiger; the only thing capable of defeating a Divinity Transformation is another Divinity Transformation!"
Lu Xuanji worriedly said: "If a Demon Race Divinity Transformation returns..."
"It won’t happen!"
True Monarch Qinglian smiled and said: "In the eyes of Divinity Transformation cultivators, what is more important, power over the world or immortality?"
"Immortality is important!"
Lu Xuanji said.
True Monarch Qinglian said: "As for us cultivators seeking immortality, the so-called power, racial hatred, etc., are very unimportant. Once the East Pole Celestial Venerable had Ninth-Layer Divinity Transformation cultivation, could easily destroy the eight Demon Race Divinity Transformations. But he chose to let it be."
"Mainly for two reasons, first, although the East Pole Celestial Venerable could kill the Demon Race Divinity Transformers, the backlash of the Divinity Transformation’s death would severely injure himself, shorten his lifespan, and harm his origin, making it not worth the gain; second, occupying the Hundred Thousand Mountains has very few benefits for the East Pole Celestial Venerable, instead bringing many troubles."
"One is unworthy, the other not worthwhile!"
"Generally speaking, whether it’s the Human Race Divinity Transformation or the Demon Race Divinity Transformation, they seldom battle for territory, and even more so, seldom battle for power; the only thing that can ignite a conflict is certain Divinity Transformation opportunities! That secret realm is significant, containing great secrets, capable of attracting a Divinity Transformation war!"
Sorting out the intelligence and analyzing the personalities of Divinity Transformations, True Monarch Qinglian speculated on the behavior of those Celestial Venerables.
Gradually coming to a conclusion, a secret realm has appeared.
That secret realm holds certain treasures that are greatly beneficial to Divinity Transformation cultivators so both sides began fighting.
As for the Divinity Transformation fighting for territory, occupying Chu Country, fighting for Demon Race interests, it’s just overthinking.
Those Divinity Transformation cultivators, with long lifespans and having experienced countless storms, it’s absolutely not worth their while to fight over some territory or verbal disputes or power, only some treasures that enhance cultivation or opportunities are worth their all-out effort.
Thus, the three Divinity Transformations of the Human Race and the eight Divinity Transformations of the Demon Race are fighting fiercely to seize opportunities.
As for a Divinity Transformation breaking away from the battle to eliminate Human Race Nascent Soul cultivators and seize Chu Country, it simply won’t happen, nor is it possible.
Those Divinity Transformation cultivators won’t discard sesame seeds to abandon watermelons.
"So, we are safe then!"
Lu Xuanji pondered: "Those Divinity Transformations, are in that secret realm, fighting for some opportunities. At least until those disputes end, we are safe. But if in the secret realm battle for opportunities, the Human Race Divinity Transformations fall behind, or are completely annihilated... we must be prepared to flee!"
"Exactly!"
True Monarch Qinglian said: "If in the battle for secret realm opportunities, too many Human Race Divinity Transformations fall, and Chu Country falls, we have to prepare to retreat in time, bringing the elite of the clan to evacuate. Not long ago, I arranged for some cultivators to evacuate to Wu Country, Yue Country, the East Sea, and other locations."
"Preparing an escape route in advance provides more options for retreat."
