"Yes!"
The old man nodded; this was exactly what he had in mind.
After the visit to the Holy Maiden Palace, no one or any force in the Azure Yang Realm dared to challenge the supreme position of their Heavenly Net Hall.
They're just a few second-tier powers. As long as the Heavenly Net Hall speaks up, there are plenty of other forces in the Azure Yang Realm willing to serve them and wipe out anyone or anything that dares to have any ulterior motives towards the Heavenly Net Hall.
So whether or not they are subdued doesn't seem to make much difference.
Seeing this, the Lord of the Heavenly Net Hall smiled and continued, "You must understand, my Heavenly Net Hall cannot kill all the living beings of the Azure Yang Realm. This... is forbidden by the Heavenly Dao."
"Where there is oppression, there will be resistance!"
"Let alone you, even I dare not guarantee that the Heavenly Net Hall will prosper forever."
There are too many living beings in this world. Who knows, a chosen one might emerge from some hidden corner, rise to power, and overthrow the rule of my Heavenly Net Hall.
Therefore, what we need to do is never to kill them all, but to enslave them, like boiling frogs in lukewarm water, to instill servile thinking into their very essence, spirit, soul, and soul, so that their descendants will have this servile mindset deeply ingrained from birth.
They are slaves, and we are masters!
In this way, they will never be able to produce a genius, or even a strong person, who surpasses the chosen ones of my Heavenly Net Hall.
They'll never realize they're already trapped in the clutches of my Heavenly Net Hall; they'll even have to be grateful to us!
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man was startled awake and broke out in a cold sweat.
It's really poisonous!
Just as their temple master said, oppression inevitably leads to resistance.
Hatred can breed many uncertainties, and for the desperate criminals hunted by the Heavenly Net Hall, it is the driving force that keeps them alive and seeking revenge.
During this period, if they are lucky enough to obtain some kind of opportunity, they might be able to rise against the odds and grow into a terrifying existence that even the Heavenly Net Hall would find difficult to contend with.
Everything that reaches its peak will decline.
After the Heavenly Net Hall Master ascended to immortality and the old Palace Master passed away, no one who came after him had any confidence that he could reach the same level as the former.
They haven't become immortals, only possessing the pseudo- Immortal Realm realm. Their Heavenly Net Hall's nemesis, the Holy Maiden Palace, has already proven that Pseudo-Immortal are not invincible.
This balance of power has existed for hundreds of thousands of years.
Therefore, after completely annihilating the Holy Maiden Palace, they used this method to permanently solidify the supreme position of their Heavenly Net Hall.
From this day forward, true top-tier powerhouses can only be born from their Heavenly Net Hall, and the beings of the Azure Yang Realm will have only one master.
"Your Highness is wise!"
The old man was completely convinced.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become a Holy Son and hold the position of Lord of the Heavenly Net Hall so firmly. He might even have become a true immortal before long.
This is the difference between myself and others.
After speaking, the old man bowed and stepped back, clearly going to give further instructions to the side.
Two and a half months later, as the Heavenly Net Army marched on, the Heavenly Net Hall army finally arrived in the Mysterious Maiden Domain.
The main reason was that the entire army slowed down the progress; otherwise, the speed of the Heavenly Net Hall Master and the Mystic Bone High Person would have allowed them to reach the Mysterious Maiden Domain even faster.
However, they weren't in a hurry.
For them, who have an absolute advantage, the Holy Maiden Palace, which is in a disadvantaged position, is the one that needs to be more worried and anxious.
As they ventured deeper into the heart of the Mysterious Maiden Domain, they didn't see a single person.
No need to guess, all the people from the Holy Maiden Palace are holed up inside the Holy Maiden City.
"Hahaha, these little bitches, weren't they so arrogant all the time? Now they're hiding in their shells!"
"It still has to be my Heavenly Net Hall!"
" Elder Tianyi, you can't say that. If two Pseudo-Immortal experts led their teams to your doorstep, wouldn't you be afraid? Besides, our Palace Master is a future immortal, one hundred percent!"
These people spoke one after another, seemingly on behalf of the Holy Maiden Palace, but the underlying sarcasm in their words was impossible to conceal.
"I've heard that everyone in the Holy Maiden Palace cultivates a technique called the ' Mysterious Yin True Scripture,' which allows them to maintain their youthful appearance and age much more slowly than ordinary people. Their bodies, even at one or two thousand years old, remain as youthful and radiant as those of teenage girls. Just thinking about it is wonderful!"
"Want to? Can't you be a little more ambitious? From today onwards, the Azure Yang Realm will no longer have Holy Maiden Palace. According to their palace rules, they're all still novices. Now, the people of our Heavenly Net Hall are truly blessed!"
"Hehe! When the time comes, I'll bring seven back, one for each day, and have them take turns serving me. That would be wonderful!"
Amidst the discussions among the people of the Heavenly Net Hall, the army finally stopped before an enormous barrier.
The barrier shimmered with light, and colorful butterflies seemed to flutter and dance upon it.
However, as the butterfly flapped its wings, sharp gusts of wind burst forth from its wings, tearing the void open with jagged scratches.
And this is the protective barrier array of their Holy Maiden Palace, the Fleeting Life Mysterious Maiden World-Suppressing Barrier!
Inside the barrier, the Holy Maiden Palace army was already fully prepared and ready to go.
This barrier definitely won't be able to stop the attack from the Heavenly Net Hall.
When the barrier is broken, that's when the two armies will engage in full-scale battle.
The Palace Master of the Holy Maiden Palace Lian Ruyue, stood at the front of the crowd, her gaze fixed on the Palace Master of the Heavenly Net Hall.
She and the Lord of the Heavenly Net Hall were originally at the same level, but unexpectedly, a celestial inheritance allowed this old rival to surpass her.
What infuriated her even more was that the Half-Immortal from the Su Imperial Clan had no intention of vying for the immortal's inheritance.
Although the Su Imperial Clan's Half-Immortal was eventually driven away by the Mystic Bone High Person, he actually had the opportunity to completely suppress the Heavenly Net Hall Master and seize the inheritance himself before the Mystic Bone High Person arrived.
However, the Half-Immortal of the Su Imperial Clan did not.
This is how an unprecedented gap emerged between the two dominant forces that had been checking and balancing each other for hundreds of thousands of years.
"It's been a long time, Fairy Ruyue!"
The Lord of the Heavenly Net Hall smiled warmly, as if greeting an old friend. "Life is unpredictable; in the end, I was one step ahead of you!"
"Hmph! Mo Ketian, you didn't come here just to mock me, did you?" The Palace Master of the Holy Maiden Palace frowned slightly, snorted softly, and her eyes turned cold. "It was just luck. If that Half-Immortal from the Su Imperial Clan hadn't been unwilling to seize the inheritance, you wouldn't have had the chance to pick up the scraps!"
"I heard that after I left, someone was beaten badly in front of many people! Tsk tsk!"
Upon hearing this, the entire space seemed to freeze for a moment.
The smile on the face of the Heavenly Net Hall Master froze, his eyes narrowed slightly, like the breath of a viper, filled with a dangerous aura.
His battle with that Half-Immortal from the Su Imperial Clan was undoubtedly the biggest blunder of his cultivation career.
However, besides the Holy Maiden Palace, the Su Imperial Clan will also face the death penalty.
And the Half-Immortal from the Su Imperial Clan who had tormented him for half a month would also be crushed to death by him.
He wouldn't spare his life just because the Half-Immortal of the Su Imperial Clan didn't compete with him for the immortal inheritance.
That person possesses a true Immortal Physique; if he were to advance any further, he would pose a tremendous threat to both the Heavenly Net Hall and himself!
This kind of threat is something he absolutely cannot allow to exist in the world.
