Laying the Trap and Closing the Net: The Immortal Hunt!
"Fellow Daoist Qin is right. It seems I have been presumptuous."
"Fellow Daoist's insight is so profound; it seems that in the thousand years since you ascended to True Immortal, you have traveled to many places and have seen the current ills of the Human Race at a glance..."
"That's truly insightful; you have excellent vision."
Ye Qingzhu sighed self-deprecatingly. Perhaps he really was getting old; even a junior could see things more clearly than him. It really was a case of the younger generation surpassing the older one...
If he, this former immortal, does not continue to climb, perhaps one day he will also fall into the realm of the Silver Moon Immortal and become prey for other True Immortal!
Things have come to this point--
Ye Qingzhu didn't linger any longer; her figure transformed into a streak of emerald green and vanished without a trace...
The purpose of this trip was mainly to convey the thoughts of the Human Race's high command. Since Qin Lu refused, there was nothing more to say.
Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.
Although they couldn't bring the Qin Humans back to their tribe, things hadn't reached the point of hostility. It was just that the Qin Humans disapproved of the current behavior of the Human Race...
However, this does not mean that there is no possibility of cooperation between the two parties.
Ye Qingzhu also had his own ulterior motives. After all, he and Qin Lu were both members of the Human Race, and there was always some degree of consideration between people of the same race...
Naturally, they are superior to those of other races. Although the three immortals seem to be of one mind, Ye Qingzhu is actually quite distant, clearly favoring Qin Lu, her fellow clansman.
In addition to their formidable strength and extraordinary vision and understanding...
Ye Qingzhu always had a gut feeling, or perhaps it was the Wood Dao's tendency to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, that made him feel that following the Qin Humans Race...
That might be a good choice!
Although he wasn't a Fortune Dao, having spent so many years in the myriad realms, he had heard quite a bit about the concept of power and influence...
This Qin Humans Race are clearly riding the wave of the times. By riding this wave, they might even be able to advance further and establish themselves in a region!
After all, the fact that two people became immortals within a thousand years speaks volumes.
3205 AD (the year of the Great Qin Dynasty)
In some unknown starry sea, as space began to distort and tremble, in the next instant, one after another, towering warships pierced through the Void...
The moment it descended upon the real universe, it unleashed a series of spatial roars, and the powerful sense of shock caused the space to stagnate!
Space collapsed, like ripples on a lake, creating waves of spatial fluctuation...
Immediately afterwards, more and more warships arrived, including more than two hundred other warships besides the Great Qin First Star Sea Fleet.
Compared to the massive Great Qin ships, which easily reached tens of thousands of feet in size, these warships under the rule of the Three Immortals were only a few thousand feet, or even a few hundred feet in size.
The two have clearly diverged in their development directions.
In the vast universe, the primary purpose of high-level warships is to transport mid- to low-level cultivators in bulk, or to transport resources...
It serves as a functional vehicle.
The Great Qin's warship development direction was entirely focused on war machines, with only one purpose: to serve war!
The vessel was enormous, its interior a complete workshop for crafting and producing puppets. Fifth-Tier warships typically carried ten thousand Dao Foundation Realm puppets, one hundred Golden Core stage puppets, and one Nascent Soul puppet...
The Sixth-Tier warship carried 50,000 Dao Foundation Realm puppets, 1,000 Golden Core Realm puppets, and five Nascent Soul puppets...
And the ultimate secret weapon: the Spirit Transformation Puppet!
This Great Qin First Star Sea Fleet consists of three Sixth-Tier warships and thirty Fifth-Tier warships, not counting cultivators...
These puppets alone constitute a massive, elite grassroots army!
The number of puppets even exceeds the number of cultivators in this Great Qin operation; they are truly cannon fodder troops charging into battle and undertaking the main offensive mission!
The Spirit Transformation puppets of the three Sixth-Tier warships are unique to the Great Qin and are Incense-Fire Puppet; they can continuously grow stronger through the power of incense offerings.
Their codenames are: General Puppet Wang Jian, General Puppet Meng Wu, General Puppet Li Xin!
These were all created by the descendants of these fallen Great Qin generals, using a trace of their remaining souls to refine them and inherit their military leadership abilities!
It's also one of the empire's trump cards!
The Qin Humans Race said they only had about twenty Nascent Spirit Transformation, but that referred to living Spirit Transformation. As for these half-dead puppet Spirit Transformation, there were still quite a few they hadn't brought out yet, not even counting the Sixth-Tier warships...
Not to mention mid-to-high-level puppets at the Nascent Soul Realm and Golden Core Realm.
When it comes to a real fight, the Qin Humans Race's true combat strength far exceeds what's on paper. It's no exaggeration to say that if Qin Lu were to really go all out...
Even with all their might, the Qin Humans Race could still challenge three True Immortal allies. Combined, these three would probably only be able to fight the Qin Humans Clan to a standstill.
at this time--
As the Four Immortals Alliance army was fully assembled, four figures materialized one after another in the sea of stars. The four immortals stood side by side, gazing into the Endless expanse of stars...
With their True Immortal Primordial Spirit, they could see the entirety of a star field!
Beyond dozens of nebulae ahead, a world entirely silver-white was constantly shifting its position—that was the Yin Moon World...
It is also surrounded by three stars, which are also the three subsidiary planes of the Silver Moon Realm.
Three specks of stardust become three bright moons.
Corresponding to that Silver Moon True Immortal, who cultivated the three Great Daos of Silver Moon, Blood Moon, Profound Moon, the Three Moon Stars were quite powerful...
It belongs to a higher-level subordinate plane and can barely support one Spirit Transformation cultivator!
In the Great Qin Nebula, although there are twenty-five star planes, only eight of them were evolved by Qin Lu...
It has only reached the middle-level subordinate plane; the other seventeen subordinate stars are all of the lower level, so they can only support the Golden Core Realm cultivators at most.
To upgrade the grade of a subordinate plane, one must continuously invest resources to cultivate high-grade Spirit Vein and strengthen the plane's foundation...
The more numerous and powerful the subsidiary planes are, the more power they can give back to the main world, since these subsidiary planes are all extensions of the Great Dao Long River of the World...
Ultimately, they were all just working for Qin Lu, this Realm Lord True Immortal.
And right now--
To directly attack the Silver Moon Realm, we must first conquer these three subsidiary planes, which are actually three celestial bodies...
It is the first line of defense protecting the Silver Moon Realm!
Only by conquering the subsidiary planes can we truly penetrate the Silver Moon Realm. Ignoring these subsidiary planes will give the enemy an opportunity to counterattack...
Therefore, these subordinate planes will inevitably be the first to be cleaned up!
"As originally planned, Fellow Hu He will lead the army to attack the three subordinate planes. If they can take them down, they will; if not, they will launch feigned attacks to harass them."
"Let's try to lure out that Silver Moon Immortal!"
"Fellow Daoists Qingzhu, Ming Qing, and I are responsible for clearing the outer perimeter, sealing off the surrounding starry sky, and cutting off any possibility of the other party escaping through this route."
"This will take some time. If Silver Moon Immortal doesn't come out, we'll continue to surround and cut off his retreat, then launch a joint attack on the Silver Moon Realm!"
"At that time, the four immortals will storm into this realm together, and even under the suppression of the world, they will be able to forcefully kill them within this realm..."
"If things become impossible, I will self-destruct and perish together with you all."
"Then we must find a way to lure him out of the Silver Moon Realm. Even if we lose the Silver Moon Immortal's legacy, we must do everything we can to preserve the Silver Moon Realm..."
"The Silver Moon Realm is our primary objective; killing the Silver Moon Immortal is secondary. We'll kill him if we can..."
"If we can't kill them, then we should decisively give up."
Speaking of this--
The immortals already understood; the plan had been formulated. What followed was the grand spectacle of hunting down immortals. Once this scheme proved successful...
In the future, they can replicate these cases in batches, thereby hunting down more idle True Immortal and snowballing their power!
"Alright, let's begin."
With Qin Lu's command, Hu He ceased concealing its aura, unleashing a Hu Xiao that echoed from the ancient Savage Wilderness...
Suddenly, the vast sea of stars began to tremble!
Even though Hu He was the weakest of the four immortals, his aura was extraordinary; with just a single Hu Xiao...
It can shatter the Void and create powerful spatial ripples!
The spatial ripples echoed continuously, eventually affecting the Silver Moon Realm, plunging it into spatial chaos, as if it were being pulled apart by a black hole...
No matter how the Silver Moon Realm moves, it cannot escape the spatial tremors!
Immediately afterwards--
The hundreds of warships of the Four Immortals' allied forces then Void Breaking and leaped in one after another, instantly filling the star sea with countless warships...
One after another, the spirit-gathering cannons continuously gathered Spiritual Power and various Dao origins, and then the cannons fired simultaneously, with countless cannon beams blasting out at once!
Instantly, countless ripples spread across the world's barrier...
Hu He's figure also appeared on the battlefield, its ferocious aura constantly increasing, and a gale rose up in response!
"Silver Moon Old Demon, prepare to die!"
