One Hundred Years

"To merge with the spirit world, to condense the body of the Holy Spirit, and to become the Creator?"

Hearing her master Zhou Yi's exclamation of surprise, Hongye was shocked. "This... there is such a powerful Heavenly Lord in the Qian Heaven Realm?"

"Actually, I sensed it when I crossed the Endless Mountains and stepped into the Qian Tian Realm. The true spirit realm in the Qian Tian area was too peaceful, as if some powerful beings were constantly tending to and repairing the spirit realm, using the true spirit realm as a barrier to prevent the continuous expansion and opening of the rift in the Demon Realm, which would gradually turn it into Demonic Beasts kingdom..."

Zhou Yi's expression was somewhat complicated. "If I'm not mistaken, it should be him..."

"Sorting down the spirit world? This..."

Hongye is not a Daoist priest; she cannot understand this concept.

But it's not hard to tell from my senior's expression...

"Is this difficult?"

"It's very difficult, extremely difficult."

Zhou Yi sighed, "There are three levels of Heavenly Lords: the ordinary Heavenly Lord, the middle Heavenly Lord whose True Spirit has crystallized, and the upper Heavenly Lord who has come into contact with the true spirit world. In addition to these three levels of Heavenly Lords, there is also a top-level existence that has reached the critical point of the Creator. This kind of existence has reached the limit that a Heavenly Lord can reach in terms of the strength of the True Spirit, the accumulation of spiritual consciousness, and the mastery of secret techniques. We respect them as the Great Heavenly Lord."

"The Great Heavenly Lord?"

This was the first time Hongye had heard this saying.

"Every Great Heavenly Lord usually concentrates all their mind and energy on the breakthrough of the Creator, and rarely goes out. Even if you are not a member of the Heavenly Master circle, you may not be able to come into contact with such beings. They are the true ultimate that a Heavenly Lord can reach."

Zhou Yi's gaze seemed to pierce through the void and land on the real spirit world. "That should be a Great Heavenly Lord."

"Uncle-Master, you..."

Yunling asked a question.

"I am about as close to this step as you, a Primordial Spirit True Lord, are to the Celestial Person Being."

Zhou Yi shook his head, then said with some admiration in his eyes, "Even a Great Heavenly Lord would need to devote unimaginable energy to sorting out the Spirit Realm. Without help, he would have to devote almost all of his life to the real Spirit Realm. In other words, he would have to keep a close eye on the real Spirit Realm at all times. Once a surge of spiritual energy appears in any place, he would have to step forward immediately to sort it out and smooth it out. This is because a surge of spiritual energy often means that our world and the Demon Realm are overlapping. If left unattended, it will eventually evolve into a rift in the Demon Realm..."

He paused slightly as he spoke, "If these surges occur at the location of the rift in the Demon Realm, they will cause the rift to expand further, becoming a super-large rift that can accommodate calamity-level Demonic Spirit, or even an abyss-level rift that can be crossed by Venerable-level Demonic Spirit."

Upon hearing this, Hongye was somewhat dazed.

She suddenly recalled the characteristics of those territories that had fallen completely.

The rift in the Demon Realm.

The sheer number of the Demon Realm rifts is terrifying.

Dozens, hundreds, or even hundreds of locations.

Numerous small cracks merge into medium-sized cracks, and medium-sized cracks merge into large cracks...

Basically, when the Demon Realm Rift merges into the Super-Large Rift, this territory will face collapse.

In theory, Venerable-level Demonic Spirit cannot cross the super-large rift. However, a few Venerable-level Demonic Spirit with talents that lean towards recovery, immortality, and other characteristics can rely on their tenacious vitality to transfer their bodies piece by piece from the super-large rift.

Once the Spirit Lord descends to earth, it will quickly grow into an existence comparable to a saint, and in the future, it may even grow into Demonic Beasts emperor comparable to a true immortal on land.

Apart from those territories suppressed by sacred lands and grotto-heavens, once a Venerable-level Demonic Spirit descends, it basically means that the region is entering the countdown to its fall.

And the Qian Heaven and Earth Realm...

The Demonic Beasts has been present for over a century.

More than a hundred years...

The number of cracks always seems to be very small?

Moreover, several of the cracks appeared a century ago and have persisted to this day.

These cracks have not widened at all in the past century.

Could it be that...

"Humans are inherently lazy. No one can stay in the spirit world for years on end, even abandoning everything in the real world, especially without someone to relieve them. It's like leaving you alone to guard the frontier of a sect. You might be able to stay for a month or two, or even half a year or a year, relying on your inner beliefs, but you can't last three, five, eight, or even ten years..."

Zhou Yi let out a long breath. "We've been here for a while now. The Qian Tian Realm can indeed be called a pure land. Demonic Beasts can hardly pose a decent threat to humans. However, as this Great Heavenly Lord, who has been wandering in the Spirit Realm, goes to challenge the Creator, the Demon Realm Rift in the Qian Tian Realm will soon continue to increase... and gradually fall into chaos."

After saying that, he glanced at Hongye and said, "We can't stay here for long. We still need to rest and recuperate according to the original plan and continue to search for the sacred land that belongs entirely to us humans."

"This..."

Hongye hesitated for a moment, then said, "Isn't that Great Heavenly Lord trying to break through to the Creator Realm? What if he succeeds?"

"Success? Is it so easy to break through to the realm of the Creator?"

Zhou Yi shook his head. "Moreover, our Heavenly Mystery Sect obtained the complete inheritance of the Pisces Star Lord. From the words, we have learned that the entire True Spirit Realm was shattered in that battle a thousand years ago, like breaking a continent into isolated islands. Under such circumstances, to become a Creator is like trying to raise a true dragon in a small pond. The difficulty is more than just a tiny bit higher than it has been in the past thousand years!"

This is also why, for nearly a thousand years, there has been no news of a new creator being born anywhere.

"I know you are somewhat unwilling and do not want to sit idly by and watch your hometown be destroyed. But on your way here, you have seen quite a few destroyed kingdoms and sects. Qian Tian has a true immortal on land who wields a divine weapon, so it can hold out for a while. After all, a divine weapon that has been recognized by its master and has unleashed its full power can kill spiritual beings, but this is not a long-term solution."

Zhou Yi's expression was somewhat pessimistic. "As the Demon Realm Rifts bloom all over Qian Tian, it won't be long before the large rifts become super-large rifts, and the super-large rifts become abyss-level rifts. Once the abyss-level rifts are formed, a large number of Venerable-level Demonic Spirit will lead hundreds or thousands of Catastrophe-level Demonic Spirit to surge out... No power can resist them."

A fully activated divine weapon can kill Demonic Spirit, but even if wielded by a true immortal on land, its destructive power is still inferior to the soul secret technique released by the creator.

"Let's go back to the Purgatory Sect first."

Hongye bit her lip and said, "At least, there won't be any danger in the Qian Tian Realm in the short term."

"What exactly happened?"

Gu Jinlai, he frowned.

His understanding of the true spirit world was ultimately too limited.

Although Zhang Lihuo came from the Great Sun Heavenly Sect, which can be called a top lineage in the Qian Heavenly Realm, it can be seen from the fact that even after perfecting the Great Sun Ninefold Refinement Visualization Method, he could only reach the Heavenly Monarch Realm, which shows that their lineage is not truly outstanding.

In particular, Zhang Lihuo and others had been chased by Demonic Beasts and had to hide in the north and south in recent years, resulting in the loss of many of the Great Sun Heaven Sect's classic texts.

In this situation, even if someone has the cultivation level of the third step of the Heavenly Monarch Gu Jinlai, their understanding of the true spirit world is probably not as good as that of an ordinary Heavenly Monarch in the forces inherited by the Creator.

Although he knew that something seemed to have happened in the real spirit world, he had no idea what those changes were.

It took him a while to look away.

"Take the Yuanling Pill first to restore your spiritual consciousness as soon as possible. Also, take a slight detour and go to some cities to check on things. First, inspect the local area to see if the order of Lingxiao Palace is being implemented smoothly. Second, check if there are any fish that have slipped through the net."

Gu Jinlai have pondered this.

He used sixty-four beams of clear light to upgrade the Void Projection Technique to its highest level.

If this trend continues, the number of clear lights needed to elevate this projection technique to perfection will be around 350.

Perhaps learning more similar secret techniques and projection methods during this period could reduce the consumption, but the huge number of three digits would still require a long time to accumulate.

Especially when he often needs to rely on the light to restore his spiritual consciousness.

The large convoy continued its journey towards Lanzhou.

Since the situation south of Tianhe has been basically stabilized, the guard forces needed for Lizhou, Jiangzhou, Huangzhou, and Star Province can be streamlined. Therefore, in order to ensure the annihilation of the Demonic Beasts in Muzhou, Gu Jinlai has brought a total of 10,000 official demon god guards and 20,000 reserve guards.

In addition, he brought with him eight hundred heavy cannons.

Besides these core forces belonging to him, there are also five thousand cultivators and one hundred thousand elites formed by various sects.

Such a large procession marched along the main road, a truly magnificent sight.

In addition to the armies led by Gu Jinlai, an even larger force is converging on Lanzhou.

When they actually launch an attack on Muzhou, they will have more than 200,000 elite troops and tens of thousands of cultivators.

As for experts in the Spirit Refining and Spirit Transformation Realm, there are hundreds of them!

Yes!

With all forces joining Lingxiao Palace, the original top sects south of Tianhe, including some small and medium-sized sects, no longer needed to fight amongst themselves, and the manpower they could mobilize increased significantly.

To ensure the successful recapture of Muzhou, almost all available personnel were mobilized.

In each of the major halls, thirty to forty Spirit Refining and nearly ten Spirit Transformation were dispatched.

In addition, some local forces joined the war in order to gain merit, bringing the number of True Person Spirit Refining two hundred and forty.

There were also more than forty Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators.

In addition, there are a total of twelve Primordial Spirit True Lord...

This is a power that is in no way inferior to that of the Immortal Palace.

If you take into account the combat strength of elite soldiers, not to mention the Human Immortal Palace, even the Earth Immortal Palace is far inferior.

After all, a battle formation composed of thousands of elite troops could potentially kill a True Person of the Spirit Refining, let alone two hundred thousand at present.

Even though the army was composed entirely of elite troops, it still took them more than half a month to travel thousands of miles to reach Lanzhou.

At this time, no matter how hard the Sanqing Palace tried to block it, the news of the death of the Wushi True Person still got out.

A true immortal on land has died.

The fall of the world's number one player.

This caused an uproar throughout the world.

The name Xuan Tianzun resounded throughout every corner of the heavens and earth.
