Peace

Luo Jiuxiao and Wang Xuanjing arrived at the venue, but the three patriarchs and the other four Xuanxian did not speak.

There was neither a welcome nor any sarcastic remarks.

Although the Lineage split off from the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect, they all belong to the same lineage of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect. However, after ten thousand years of open and covert struggles, little affection remains between them.

Luo Jiuxiao and Wang Xuanjing clearly understood this, so they didn't exchange pleasantries or try to establish a connection.

They chose to get straight to the point.

"The Xuanxian Realm can be the Xuanxian Realm of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, or the Xuanxian Realm of the Bai family, the Chi family, or the Ji family, but it absolutely cannot be the Creation Sect, nor can it be Jiang Yufeng's Xuanxian Realm!"

Luo Jiuxiao said heavily.

Chi Xuehe, Bai Shengyang, Ji Longhua, and the others exchanged glances, seemingly satisfied with his explanation.

Only...

"How do you fight an Eighth Heavenly Immortal who possesses powerful immortal techniques?"

Bai Shengyang said, "Even if all of us Xuanxian joined forces, we might not be able to fight against him."

"Based on our research, we have come up with a method—attack where the enemy must defend, and then check and balance each other!"

Wang Xuanjing said.

"Attack where they must defend?"

The group of people were slightly taken aback.

"You have all received the news about the Realm of Immortality, so I won't elaborate further. For Jiang Yufeng, the Realm of Immortality is his greatest weakness. The requirements for the environment on the Path of the Innate Saint are even more demanding than ours! Especially for someone like Jiang Yufeng whose combat power has reached the Eighth Heaven Profound Immortal realm!"

Wang Xuanjing quickly said, "Think about it, if we were to exhaust the spiritual energy of the Longevity Realm like we did ten thousand years ago, what would happen to Jiang Yufeng?"

Chi Xuehe, Bai Shengyang, and Ji Longhua all found their answers at the same time.

"We don't need to do anything; he will weaken himself due to the depletion of his spiritual energy..."

"It's not weakness, it's outright death."

Wang Xuanjing said, "If you place a primordial deity in a place lacking spiritual energy and prevent him from receiving external spiritual energy replenishment, he will slowly die."

"You mean you're threatening Jiang Yufeng with the depletion of the Longevity Realm's spiritual energy? But depleting the Longevity Realm's spiritual energy is no easy task. During this time, Jiang Yufeng will definitely do his best to stop us. If things go wrong, we might not even finish depleting the Longevity Realm's spiritual energy before Jiang Yufeng kills us all."

Chi Xuehe frowned.

"It would take us a very long time to exhaust the spiritual energy of the Immortal Realm with our own strength alone. But what if all the Immortal Lords, Dao Lords, Celestial Immortals, and even True Immortals and Void Immortals all rushed into the Immortal Realm at once? Moreover... we don't even need to exhaust the spiritual energy of the Immortal Realm completely. We only need to exhaust it to the level of our Profound Immortal Realm, and it will naturally lose the soil for survival."

Wang Xuanjing said.

"This... the price is too high."

Bai Shengyang sighed.

"Yes, the cost is too high."

Wang Xuanjing nodded. "That's why I said it's about mutual checks and balances, and seeking peace through these checks and balances."

"Peace?"

Chi Xuehe's expression was somewhat strange.

Them...

They actually want to seek peace from the Creation Sect and Jiang Yufeng?

"We will use the depletion of the spiritual energy of the Longevity Realm as a constraint. If he continues to invade our Three Domains and the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect, we will abandon all our foundations and pour into the Longevity Realm to destroy its spiritual energy ecosystem and perish together with him. In this way, we can ensure that our five forces... or more precisely, ensure that our two forces can coexist peacefully."

Wang Xuanjing said.

Behind him, Luo Jiuxiao's tone was solemn. "Facing an Eight Heavens Mystic Immortal who possesses the art of destruction, this is the only way we can think of to protect ourselves."

These words made the Xuanxian people, who were usually at the top of the Xuanxian world, feel very uncomfortable.

When did these overlords and rulers start seeking peace to protect themselves when faced with an enemy?

But...

They had to admit it.

This is true.

Faced with an Eight Heavens Mystic Immortal powerful enough to destroy the entire Mo family with a single blow, all they can do now is protect themselves.

That's all.

"Do you think Jiang Yufeng might just be bluffing..."

At this moment, a Xuanxian from the Bai family who had recently broken through suddenly spoke tentatively.

But before he could finish speaking, all eyes fell on him, their gazes filled with an eerie intensity.

Bluff!?

This is what the people of the Heavenly Fire Sect think.

This is what the people of the Myriad Stars Sword Sect think.

The Mohists thought the same way.

But right now...

The entire Mo family was razed to the ground. High-level Xuanxian Mo Longfei and top-level Xuanxian Mo Ziya were completely wiped out. How dare you still mention the term "bluffing"?

How unwilling one must be to accept reality to deceive oneself again and again?

"I... I..."

This Bai family immortal wanted to say something, wanted to explain something, but he simply didn't know where to begin.

Bai Shengyang waved his hand. "Alright, stop fooling yourselves. It's not difficult to admit the enemy's strength! The difficult part is figuring out how to face our enemy! How to meet the greatest challenge the Xuanxian Realm has faced in ten thousand years!"

The other immortals nodded in deep agreement.

Seeing this, the Bai family immortal dared not speak recklessly anymore.

"Then let's leave it at that."

Wang Xuanjing said, "Although we have fought endlessly over the years and lost our former friendship, we still belong to the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect and share the same ancestor. Facing Jiang Yufeng, an unprecedented enemy, we must unite and cooperate wholeheartedly to ensure the continuation of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect. Otherwise... if we are not careful, the world will change hands... and we will all be losers."

Bai Shengyang, Chi Xuehe, and Ji Longhua nodded solemnly.

"Our biggest advantage right now is our numbers. Although we are at a disadvantage in terms of strength, with multiple parties involved, Jiang Yufeng alone cannot take care of everything. Therefore, we must make full use of this advantage."

Wang Xuanjing said, "I will send the information to everyone. While Jiang Yufeng is digesting the Mo family, we will do our best to open a passage to the Longevity Realm and flood in to lie in wait. At the same time, I will also contact Jiang Yufeng and negotiate with the Creation Sect, acknowledging their status as the Lord of the Northern Region, and claiming that we want to establish a trade relationship with the Longevity Realm behind him. If necessary, we will give them some benefits to buy time as much as possible."

"This is a life-or-death moment for our Xuan Yuan Sword Sect. There's no need for you to hold back any longer. Unleash your full potential and set up the interdimensional passage with all your might. The more interdimensional gates you open, the stronger the cultivators who infiltrate the Realm of Immortality will be, and the less Jiang Yufeng will dare to act rashly."

Luo Jiuxiao said.

The other immortals in the room did not object and nodded in agreement.

The two sides discussed the details and quickly reached a consensus, setting various strategies.

The fact that the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect and the Three Great Families were on high alert and even prepared for mutual destruction to prevent further invasions from Gu Jinlai was not actually an overreaction.

Because...

At this moment, Gu Jinlai once again focused his mind on the Great Sun Eternal Law.

Separating a small Ōsun core has a significant impact on the stability of the main core, and even interferes with its performance.

This can be seen from the fact that his height dropped sharply from nearly 2,900 meters to more than 2,700 meters.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they've fallen a small level.

Fortunately, he now had more than 1,600 beams of clear light, and he directly invested 1,000 of them into the Great Sun Eternal Law, which was already at the fifth level of perfection.

Immediately, the Great Sun Core, which had been fluctuating due to the separation of some of its power, quickly stabilized and became significantly stronger than before.

As he took a deep breath above the sea of clouds, the wind and clouds surged, and a vortex with a diameter of several hundred miles formed once again.

With the continuous injection of hydrogen, the core of the Great Sun burned fiercely once again.

Greater energy output and stronger nuclear gravitational force continuously emanate from the core of the Great Sun.

This rate of increase in power...

No wonder he almost lost his mind and fell into the demonic path not long ago, and had the idea of using killing to promote cultivation.

"If I really can't control myself... the Ancient Demon Gu! I'm afraid I'll become a true demonic giant, dominating the world..."

The Way of the Heart, from Gu Jinlai.

Just like...

That terrifying evil god dwells deep within the true spirit world.

Every action has implications for the entire world...

Wrong!

It is the destruction of countless worlds.

Although He only devoured spiritual energy, He severed the future of a world.

The Xuanxian Realm, which is gradually heading towards "death," is the best example.

"The power of the Great Sun Core has increased again. I can no longer even maintain the 'Mastery' form. In other words, I can't even contain my own power. Ordinary people who get close to me will be burned to death by the high temperature emanating from my body, and the surrounding environment will also change due to the gravity I carry..."

Gu Jinlai at the remaining six hundred or so beams of clear light.

Only the purified light that has been used up is considered good purified light.

At that moment, all this pure light was poured into the Eighteen Heavens Refining Spirit Technique.

For a Gu Jinlai, I felt as if I were quietly floating in the vast starry sky, observing the movement of the stars and the shining of the constellations.

Day after day, year after year.

Suddenly one day, he had a flash of inspiration and fell into a state of enlightenment, his mind and spirit seemingly experiencing the vicissitudes of life alongside the stars and the moon.

Under this kind of calming influence, his State of Mind became more serene.

That's a kind of...

An indescribable feeling.

Just like a teenager, who might get angry easily out of loyalty or emotion, even risking everything and getting bloodshed, an adult, having seen the changes in the world, understands the true nature of loyalty and affection.

Although they are not numb or indifferent, they have developed their own judgment and rationality, and will no longer be easily dominated by simple emotions.

The Eighteen Heavens: Seventh level of minor achievement → Eighth level of perfection.

Gu Jinlai a while, they were immersed in this change, and after moving around a bit, they gradually calmed their minds.

"The mental realm of the eighth level of perfection... I can already 'master' my current power, but if I want to use my power in a subtle way, or even to a state of divine mastery, I need to reach the minor completion of the ninth level of perfection..."

Gu Jinlai, his thinking has remained remarkably clear.

Improving one's mental state not only enhances control over one's own power, but also leads to a more thorough understanding of problems.

At this moment, he seemed to realize something and suddenly said, "Tian Qingzi, since you're here, why not show yourself?"

"Call out!"

A ripple spread out from the distant void.

Immediately afterwards, Tian Qingzi appeared, and without the slightest negligence, he respectfully bowed to Gu Jinlai from afar. "Congratulations, Divine Jiang, on defeating the Mo family and ascending to the position of overlord of the Northern Region!"
