Chapter 670: Venerable Hun Tian

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hearing the Great Ling Emperor’s question, a silence fell upon the crowd.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to offer suggestions; rather, the situation was genuinely tricky.

Considering the current circumstances, their side was clearly at a disadvantage.

To turn the tables or even just to protect themselves would undoubtedly require a tremendous sacrifice.

In fact, even if they paid a huge price, they might not be able to obtain their desired goals.

This scene made the expression of the Emperor, who had just calmed down, turn ugly again.

Thankfully, at this moment, Hu Wentian, an elder from the Myriad Forms Sect, spoke up.

“Your Majesty, in my view, the likelihood of them attacking our Central Plain should be less than 30%.

After all, this is our home ground.

Even if Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan are extraordinary, it’s impossible for them to break through our arrays here unless they have reached the late-stage of Soul Formation.

But is that even possible?”

At this point, Hu Wentian could not help but smile smugly.

“Since ancient times, reaching the mid-stage of Soul Formation has been extremely rare, and the peak of mid-stage is even rarer.

As for reaching the late-stage, there has been no one.

This isn’t due to a lack of effort or talent on our part; it’s because the upper limit of this world is only so high.

These are the world’s rules, and even Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, no matter how talented, cannot break the shackles of these rules.

Thus, what we need to consider is only self-preservation.”

As soon as he finished speaking, many people present clearly revealed shocked expressions.

Apparently.

They were unaware of this secret of their world – that the limit of cultivation in the Nine Essences Cultivation World was only up to the peak of the mid-stage Soul Formation.

Even the most gifted individuals couldn’t break these bounds.

For a moment, many people’s Dao hearts could not help but waver.

This was because the impact this had on them was too great.

However, those who reacted quickly showed signs of joy on their faces.

They realized that if Hu Wentian’s words were true, then self-preservation on their part should be achievable.

Most importantly, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, no matter how strong, wouldn’t be able to break the world’s limits and advance to the late-stage Soul Formation.

This provided an added layer of security for their future safety.

Thinking this, many couldn’t hide their joy anymore.

Hu Wentian added, “Moreover, the situation with the Demon Race is probably similar to ours.

We could take this opportunity to turn our hostility into friendship, or even unite against Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.”

“What?”

At this point, many people in the room couldn’t maintain their composure and showed disbelief on their faces.

The idea of allying with the Demon Race to oppose Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan was shocking.

Throughout the countless years, the number of humans who had died at the hands of the Demon Race was incalculable.

The enmity between the two sides seemed almost irreconcilable.

And now, the Great Ling Imperial Palace was considering an alliance with the Demon Race to confront their own Heavenly Lords.

No matter how one looked at it, this matter was extremely ironic.

“Your Majesty, this may not be appropriate,” a man carrying twin spears on his back interjected.

He addressed the Great Ling Emperor, saying,

“If we truly choose to cooperate with the Demon Race, how do we justify this to our fallen comrades killed by them?

How would the cultivators of our Central Plain, and even the entire Nine Essences Cultivation World, view us?

Most importantly, the Demon Race has already pledged loyalty to that outer-world being. If we collaborate with them, we’ll be letting down the heaven and earth of our world.”

The series of questions immediately silenced many people present.

Their eyes were filled with deep thought.

“Puff!”

However, Hu Wentian scoffed disdainfully at this.

He looked at the man with the two spears on his back and said lightly,

“Aren’t you thinking too much, Sun Zhan?

This matter concerns the life and death of our Great Ling Imperial Palace.

In the face of such a situation, those who sacrificed in the past would surely understand our actions, should they be aware.

As for how the cultivators of our Central Plain and the Nine Essences Cultivation World view us, does it really matter?

They are but ants, and since when does a dragon concern itself with the opinion of ants?”

Sun Zhan’s expression turned ugly at these words, but before he could retort, Hu Wentian continued,

“Remember your identity, Sun Zhan.

You are first and foremost a general of the Great Ling Imperial Palace, then yourself.

Everything must prioritize the interests of our dynasty.

As for the Demon Race allying with an external being, what of it?

If they still live well in the Nine Essences Cultivation World, it suggests that the will of this world is waning.

Why should we continue to cling to a dying world?

It would be wiser to plan ahead and seek better prospects for ourselves.

What do you all think?”

It had to be said that Hu Wentian’s words were extremely outrageous.

Many people present clearly hadn’t expected him to propose such an idea openly at this juncture.

Was he not afraid of heavenly retribution, or of being driven mad by his own blasphemy?

Even the Great Ling Emperor and his ancestor, Xiao Taiwang, looked at Hu Wentian with surprise.

“Minister Hu, can you tell me if you really meant what you said?”

The Great Ling Emperor asked with a deep and probing gaze.

Together with Xiao Taiwang, he looked at Hu Wentian and said calmly,

“I know you well, and you weren’t like this in the past.”

“Humph…”

Hu Wentian chuckled lightly, admitting,

“Your Majesty is indeed insightful and knows me well.

These aren’t entirely my thoughts; they come from Venerable Hun Tian.”

“Venerable Hun Tian?”

The mention of Venerable Hun Tian caused everyone’s eyes to constrict with apprehension.

Just the name itself brought an ominous feeling to the Great Ling Emperor and others.

“Hehehehehe…”

At that moment, a mocking laughter echoed throughout the Great Ling Imperial Palace.

Everyone was shocked to find that a shadowy figure materialized beside Hu Wentian, gradually taking the form of a man in a black cloak, radiating a malevolent aura.

“Extraterritorial demonic cultivator!”

Sun Zhan was the first to react.

Clang!

The two spears on his back suddenly appeared in his hands.

The power of a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord surged towards the cloaked man, Venerable Hun Tian.

‘Well…’

Venerable Hun Tian suddenly raised his head.

A black light suddenly burst forth from his deep and pitch-black eyes.

Sun Zhan, who had just made eye contact with him, felt his Primordial Spirit tremble.

In an instant, his mind buzzed and his vision turned black.

The two spears that were attacking Venerable Hun Tian suddenly stopped in mid-air.

“Venerable, please show mercy!”

At this moment, the Great Ling Emperor’s voice suddenly rang out.

Venerable Hun Tian, who had restrained Sun Zhan’s Primordial Spirit, suddenly chuckled.

In the next moment, Sun Zhan’s entire body instantly fell to the ground, and cold sweat covered his forehead.

“Elder Hu, could you explain in detail what is happening?” the Great Ling Emperor turned to Hu Wentian, his eyes cold and searching.

“Ha ha, Great Ling Emperor, let me explain this matter.”

Unexpectedly, Venerable Hun Tian spoke before Hu Wentian could say anything.

“I just want to ask one thing, Great Ling Emperor and all of you present, have you seriously considered your own future?”

This question immediately caused a sudden change in the expressions of the Great Ling Emperor and everyone present.

“What do you mean by that?” Xiao Taiwang asked gravely.

Venerable Hun Tian chuckled.

“It doesn’t mean anything special. It means in a literal sense.

You must be well aware of the current situation of your world.

You can’t possibly be naive enough to think that your world still has a future, right?

Even if it does, what does that have to do with you?

Do you really think that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan will tolerate you?”

His series of rhetorical questions dramatically altered the expressions of the Great Ling Emperor, Xiao Taiwang, and everyone else present.

“And now, I am here representing my supreme master, offering you a chance, a real chance to survive.”

Upon hearing this, the Great Ling Emperor, Xiao Taiwang, and everyone else understood the true intention of Venerable Hun Tian.

The Great Ling Emperor and Xiao Taiwang exchanged glances.

After a while.

The Great Ling Emperor looked at Venerable Hun Tian and said in a deep voice, “What do you want?”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the face of Venerable Hun Tian.

He nodded in satisfaction, “Talking to intelligent people is indeed agreeable.

Our demand is very simple, which is…”

As he spoke, Venerable Hun Tian outlined his demands to everyone present.

Everyone’s eyes narrowed upon hearing them.

They turned to the Great Ling Emperor and Xiao Taiwang.

The two were silent for a moment before slowly responding,

“We can agree to your demands, but we need to discuss some details further.”
