Different levels of understanding vary.
Like the founder of 'Chengyun', it is said that the rules of this world are incomplete, and the Great Dao is not unified, making it difficult to improve rapidly.
Han Peiling, also in the Venerable Realm, speaks of each person's different karma and obsessions, and different ways of severing the Dao.
This is a tricky problem.
It made Chen Jiuyang feel as if he had thorns on his back, standing on a high mountain with abysses on both sides.
However, he personally felt that his cultivation improved faster in the Small Immortal Realm due to his enlightenment.
First, attack the Origin Demonic Sect, then ask the founder about the direction of his path and the required laws, and then travel to the Small Immortal Realm with the founder of 'Wumian'.
Chen Jiuyang tapped his fingers, finalizing his plan.
On this day.
The Immortal and Martial realms were shaken. The Grand Elder of the Chen family of the Immortal Alliance, a powerful cultivator in the Dao Integration stage, declared: "Within a year, I will come out of seclusion to clean up the sect and kill Chen Jiuyang and Chen Biandao."
Upon hearing this news, who was not surprised?
Although the current great era had revived, no Immortal Dao cultivator in the Dao Integration stage had ever been heard to be active outside.
Upon reaching the Dao Integration stage, one had a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, which, in the eyes of ordinary people, was truly an immortal who lived forever.
"Whoosh!"
The news reached Chen Jiuyang. He merely glanced at it and burned the message slip to ashes.
The Dao Integration stage cultivation is very strong, can it be invincible?
Not necessarily.
The late stage of the Venerable Realm could contend with cultivators in the Dao Integration stage.
So what if the Immortal Alliance Chen family had an ancestor in the Dao Integration stage?
Chen Jiuyang, after conquering the True Truth Demonic Sect, made the founder of the Demonic Dao's forbidden area, 'Wumian', his protector.
Who will win is still uncertain.
Of course, to some uninformed people, Chen Jiuyang's life was nearing its end.
With a powerful cultivator in the Dao Integration stage making a move, who could protect his life?
The strongest on the surface in the Demonic Dao were only Venerable Realm cultivators and Grand Elders in the Void Returning stage.
Chen Jiuyang then asked, "Why are the cultivators of my Sacred Dao above the Dao Integration stage not appearing, but instead living in seclusion in the Chongming Sea?"
Han Peiling pondered, "This is a rule established by the nine Sacred Dao sects after their establishment. As for the specific reasons, we juniors do not know, nor has any information been passed down."
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly.
...
"This devil Chen Jiuyang truly courts death. With the Immortal Alliance's Grand Elder making such a declaration, instead of finding a place to eke out an existence, he dares to send a challenge to the Demonic Dao's Origin Sect."
"Heh heh, otherwise, would it be called the Demonic Dao?"
"These people of the Demonic Dao always act recklessly."
"With the Immortal Alliance's Grand Elder making a move, who can save him?"
As the news of the True Demonic Sect challenging the Origin Demonic Sect spread, people from all walks of life mocked Chen Jiuyang.
In the eyes of the Demonic Dao cultivators, Chen Jiuyang had two choices.
One was to protect himself as rumored outside, enter the Sacred Dao secret realm, preserve himself, and temporarily set aside the Sacred Dao struggle.
The second was that the challenge would be met as stated, and the Sacred Dao struggle would continue, attacking the Origin Demonic Sect.
If it were the second choice, then Chen Jiuyang would undoubtedly have a backup plan to deal with this Grand Elder of the Immortal Alliance.
However, Chen Jiuyang did not care about these things because the Dragon Country was in turmoil.
After the great era revived, various forces in the Dragon Country began to spread overseas.
The most crucial thing was that the plans of Emperor Yan and Jixia Academy had begun.
The Immortal Alliance controlled the ancestral artifacts, and the ancestral artifacts built the system of kings.
To break the control of the five great sacred lands over the ancestral artifacts for a long time.
They had to first sever an arm and dismantle the system of sword-bearers.
The plan was divided into three steps.
Dismantle the system of sword-bearers, then remove the system of kings to strip the Immortal Alliance's five great sacred lands of their control, and finally, the system of guardians would ascend.
November 3rd.
This was a very ordinary day.
Suddenly.
"Rumble!!!"
The entire Dragon Country shook, and something invisible seemed to shatter.
The world trembled.
Countless countries were probing for information from the Dragon Country.
This earthquake was not severe and caused no damage.
"Whoosh!"
On the same day, heavy snow fell across the country.
The successive anomalies made even ordinary mortals sense that something was wrong.
Chen Jiuyang had learned of the plan from Emperor Yan earlier, but when the plan was implemented, his heart was still stirred.
He sat in the courtyard, holding Chen Nianxuan in his arms: "Nianxuan, you must stay at home today and not go out."
"Ah, but I want to go to the river to see the snow," Chen Nianxuan pouted.
Chen Jiuyang smiled gently and said, "Then go and see your brothers and sisters at your second, third, and fourth mothers' places."
"Alright."
Emperor Yan and Jixia Academy, by leveraging the revival of the Immortal Alliance, expanded their influence overseas, laying the groundwork, and then choosing a time to dismantle the system of sword-bearers. This would lead to a result.
That is, those who harbored hostility towards the Dragon Country would send people to probe, assassinate, and attack the Dragon Country.
And the Immortal Alliance, as the largest overt force, would bear the brunt of the pressure.
If this cancerous growth, the Immortal Alliance, were not removed, the Dragon Country could not usher in an era where everyone was like a dragon. Perhaps the next Emperor Yan would be sacrificed like Chen Jiuyang for their ascension plan.
The upper echelons of the Dragon Country were in turmoil, but it had not yet affected ordinary people.
This earth-shattering plan, which affected the fate of every person in the Dragon Country, Chen Jiuyang dared not reveal to anyone around him.
But this had a benefit for him: the Immortal Alliance, in order to deal with external pressure and to keep the Dragon Country, the place for the ascension plan, well-managed, would have to divert a lot of energy.
And this way, there would be no pressure on him.
Because soon, many forces would be unable to protect themselves.
Emperor Yan, with this move, shattered the peaceful situation of the Dragon Country and stirred up a murky situation.
After the first step of the long plan, Chen Jiuyang would then initiate a great war between the righteous and demonic paths, further tying up the Immortal Alliance's forces. At that time, Emperor Yan and others would seize this opportunity to remove the system of kings.
It could be said to be mutually beneficial.
"Report the situation and news," Chen Jiuyang said.
"Yes, Sect Master."
"The countries of Yin Shen, Thailand, Kimchi, and Dongying, among more than a dozen others, immediately sent elite personnel to the Dragon Country's border to investigate the situation. The border Human Kings took action, and several Human Kings were seriously injured. The system of sword-bearers lost its effect."
Chen Jiuyang closed his eyes, sat on the lounge chair, and tapped his fingers lightly: "Continue."
"The Immortal Alliance has not yet reacted in any way."
Chen Jiuyang's eyes immediately opened, filled with murderous intent:
"These beasts!!!"
Internal strife occurred immediately, but external chaos did not elicit an immediate response.
It was truly decayed to the extreme, only considering their own interests.
How could this not anger Chen Jiuyang?
However, after receiving the news, he could only endure and not act. If he disrupted a link in the plan, the efforts of countless heroes would be in vain.
Many people had already been sacrificed to deceive the Immortal Alliance and dismantle the system of sword-bearers.
The overall situation is paramount!
Thinking of how many innocent people would die next, just to paralyze the Immortal Alliance, Chen Jiuyang closed his eyes in pain, then ordered:
"Prepare the carriage, I am going to tour the scenery in Suhang."
