The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2383: Miracle (3)

"Once the Qian Learning State Boundary is breached and Mount Qianlong’s spiritual mines are captured, this entire land will become the breeding ground for evil thoughts, with blood-red skies obscuring the heavens..."

"By then, the Divine Lord will surely return."

"Of course, before that, I will use the maze formation pivot of the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation to continuously locate the Divine Lord’s position and bring him back as soon as possible."

The Feather Transformation from Yin Corpse Valley nodded, "If the Qian Learning State Boundary is conquered, I want to refine a Corpse City, using the bodies of the Vajra Sect and Longding Sect, those Body Refinement sects, to nurture my Golden Corpse."

The elder from the Demon Sword Sect also looked eager:

"I want to build a Sword Slave Mountain above the gates of the Taixu Three Mountains, using the Sword Dao fortune of the first Ancient Sect of Qian Learning to nurture the Ancient Demon Sword of the Demon Sword Sect."

Mr. Tu nodded, "Good."

Shangguan Wang’s gaze grew slightly cold, "I want... to become the Family Head of the Shangguan Family and create a Demon Path aristocratic family."

Mr. Tu also nodded, "Naturally."

After reaching an agreement, the four Feather Transformations departed from Yanluo Mountain as if nothing had happened, heading deeper into the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation.

They prepared to continue activating the formation to complete their unfinished demon path ambitions.

If they succeed, they will have established a legacy of Demon Path for a thousand autumns.

Even if they fail, they can still use the Blood Sacrifice Array to create massive slaughter and carve out a substantial piece of flesh from the Qian Learning State Boundary.

Even if the Blood Sacrifice Array gets destroyed, these Feather Transformations can withdraw and, using their experience, spread the entire blood sacrifice process throughout the cultivation world, allowing all living beings to feel the despair and fear brought by the Divine Lord...

The Divine Lord has temporarily left, but will return sooner or later.

The path to accomplishing great demon exploits is bound to be rugged and the future undoubtedly dark.

Everyone immersed in their grand ambitions and schemes.

But after taking a few steps, Mr. Tu’s gaze tightened, suddenly sensing something, and asked:

"Why has there been no movement from the Qian Learning side?"

"They’ve all retreated," said the elder from the Demon Sword Sect.

"Retreated?" Mr. Tu’s pupils contracted, catching a whiff of something unusual, "Why would they retreat?"

The Feather Transformation from Yin Corpse Valley sneered, "A group of Court Officials from the Taoist Court are nothing but hawk dogs idling away, righteous sects turned into rotten pigs and dogs; it’s perfectly normal for them to feel dread in a battle of life and death."

"When there’s no fame or profit, they idly occupy their positions, but once interests are involved, the Taoist Court can become mad dogs," Mr. Tu shook his head, "The Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation shakes their foundation, there’s no way they could abandon it out of fear; there must be something odd going on..."

The Feather Transformation from Yin Corpse Valley’s gaze was icy cold, "Is the Qian Learning side planning a big move? Do they want to strike us down in one fell swoop?"

"It’s not impossible..." Mr. Tu frowned, with a hint of dread, "But don’t underestimate... those 'Ancestors' from the Qian Learning State Boundary; they’re the true foundations of each sect and family, their minds full of unfathomable plots..."

"Then..."

Mr. Tu suddenly had a jolt in his heart and said in a solemn voice, "Have all the disciples from the Demon Gate stand firm and not leave..."

Mr. Tu’s gaze trembled slightly, "I need to look into some matters..."

...

The Qian Learning State Boundary, Sword Observation Tower.

A group of Heaven Void Ancestors looked at the imposing Blood Sacrifice Array and the relentless blood sea at the horizon, their brows still furrowed.

"So much time has passed, yet still calm and quiet, why did we have to retreat from the Blood Sacrifice Array?"

"That’s what True Man Situ instructed."

"Is True Man Situ really still 'True Man Situ'? Is there a possibility that he’s already been corrupted and we’re all ensnared in the Evil God’s plot?"

"The Evil God is an existence within Divine Thought, skilled at bewitching people’s hearts and must be guarded against..."

"When eradicating evil, one must be thorough, and opportunities must not be missed."

"Whether the Evil God is truly slain and subdued is unknown, rushing to fight now is not advisable."

"Our thousands or even ten thousand years of foundation are here, we cannot risk it."

"Precisely because a ten thousand year foundation is present, we must encircle and annihilate these lingering forces of the Demon Path without delay. We must completely excise the tumor of the Evil Path Great Formation, forestalling any potential for uncontrolled developments."

"If the Blood Sacrifice Array isn’t swiftly dismantled, greater calamities will unfold, countless more cultivators will perish, and we’ll find ourselves unable to offer an adequate explanation to the Taoist Court when they inquire."

An ancestor from Heaven Void Tribe let out a cold sneer, "The Taoist Court is likely anticipating a colossal misstep from the Qian Learning State Boundary, positioning themselves to extend their influence here..."

"Enough, cease this discussion."

"Matters pertaining to the Evil God are deeply enigmatic and difficult to grasp. Ultimately, only True Man Situ can offer clarity once he awakens..."

"That appears to be our sole recourse..."

...

Within the opulent main hall of the Sword Observation Tower, a palpable quietude settled.

All the Heaven Void Ancestors maintained their profound concern, yet their visages remained placid and composed as they awaited.

A period of time elapsed, and the Heaven Void Ancestors, who had previously been in meditation, gradually opened their eyes, directing their gaze towards True Man Situ, who lay ensconced within the Seven Stars Formation.

A stirring of spiritual energy was detected.

The severely wounded Primordial Spirit of True Man Situ, which had been dormant for an extended duration, finally stirred, and he slowly parted his eyes.

Elder Master Xun, who had been diligently operating the Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Stars Formation to keep the Blood Sacrifice Array suppressed, while simultaneously diverting a sliver of Starlight to nurture True Man Situ’s Primordial Spirit, exhaled a slight breath of relief.

True Man Situ’s complexion was still ashen, akin to paper, yet his eyes now gleamed with nascent brilliance.

With time being of the essence, the ancestors exchanged but a few brief pleasantries before urgently addressing the paramount concerns:

"True Man Situ, what precisely transpired within the Evil God’s nightmare?"

"What became of the Evil God True Embryo?"

"Why were cultivators from our Qianxue compelled to evacuate the Blood Sacrifice Array?"

"Within the nightmare..." True Man Situ commenced to speak, but a violent tremor suddenly seized his heart, as a chilling realization dawned upon him: he absolutely must refrain from mentioning Mo Hua, the child.
