"War is coming."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and couldn't help but sigh.
He brought Ye Chongyun back to Chiyouzhou, and immediately summoned the Ye family's Nascent Soul leaders to hold a meeting in the main hall of Chilong Mountain.
This time, Ye Linyuan not only summoned all the Nascent Soul True Lords of the Ye family in Chixiazhou, but even the Fighting Golden Ape clan and the sleeping old Ape King had already been secretly transferred to Chilong Mountain.
In the hall, Ye Linyuan looked at the Yuanying Zhenjun of the Ye family and told them about the war. Then he sighed solemnly:
"The Great Saint Lord has become a Daoist. Our human race has lost another pillar that supports the sky."
"If it goes as expected, the Western Region will face a terrible war."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Ye family showed a solemn look.
After the death of the Holy Lord of Taihuang, the Holy Land of Taihuang will definitely be coveted by all major forces, and it is likely to be destroyed at any time.
The Taihuang Holy Land is one of the giants in the western region of Chixiazhou. After the destruction of this lineage, the demon clan will probably take the opportunity to launch a war.
"Since war is inevitable, we must prepare in advance."
Ye Chongyun spoke slowly, and then said solemnly: "We need to immediately notify the major immortal clans under our command and let them prepare for war in advance."
Ye Linyuan nodded, then looked at Ye Hezhe and said, "The recruitment of personnel and the war reward and punishment system are all left to you to handle."
"The disciple understands."
Ye Hezhe immediately bowed, then stood up and left.
After he left, Ye Linyuan looked at everyone and said, "When facing opponents from the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range, the power at the Nascent Soul level still determines victory or defeat."
"You should improve your strength in the near future and prepare for the war."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and looked solemn.
As the notice from the Ye Immortal Clan was issued, countless immortals under the entire Ye Clan began preparations for war.
"..."
Soon after Ye Linyuan issued the decree, the Taihuang Blessed Land was surrounded by people.
Among the heroes surrounding the Taihuang Holy Land, there were ancestors of the major Nascent Soul forces in the Western Regions, as well as a large number of Nascent Soul Demon Kings of the demon clan.
Obviously, after confirming the death of the Holy Lord of Taihuang, both the human and demon races began to covet the heritage of the Taihuang lineage.
They surrounded the Taihuang Holy Land at the first opportunity, wanting to eat up this huge piece of cake before the Taihuang Holy Land had time to transfer its resources.
"Everyone, my Taihuang Blessed Land has made great contributions to the human race. Do you really want to act this way?"
At this time, in the Taihuang Blessed Land, the golden-robed elder looked up at the sky with a look of anger in his eyes.
The demon kings of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain in the sky sneered, while the Yuanying Zhenjun of the human race said with a gloomy look: "If we don't take action today, do we have to hand over your sect's foundation to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain?"
"you……"
The eyes of the golden-robed elder turned cold, but he heard a Nascent Soul giant say: "With your strength, you can't defend the Taihuang Blessed Land. If you retreat now, you may still have a chance to save yourselves."
"Om-"
Just at this moment, a brilliant golden light came from the sky.
But then a golden aura fell from the sky and turned into an illusory golden figure standing there.
"This is...Xuan Yang Tian Gong!"
Suddenly someone whispered, revealing a look of shock.
In an instant, the heroes of both the human and demon races showed fear.
For thousands of years, the Xuanyang Cave Heaven has rarely appeared in the world. This lineage controls a cave heaven that is almost at its peak and can stably produce fourth-grade high-quality elixirs and even rare treasures. There are very few opportunities in the world worthy of their attention.
But at this time, the arrival of the people from Xuanyang Cave Heaven really made them feel extremely fearful.
"No, it's just an illusion, not the real one."
It was at this moment that everyone realized that the person who came was not his real self, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The demon clan heroes looked at each other, and then a top-level Nascent Soul Stage Demon King asked, "Fellow Daoist from Xuanyang Dongtian, do you want to have a piece of the pie too?"
"Humph--"
The golden phantom snorted coldly, and then an extremely mysterious golden aura suppressed it, shocking the Demon King in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage and sending him flying backwards on the spot.
In an instant, the monsters were shocked, and each of them showed a look of fear.
It was just an illusion, but it was able to repel the Demon King in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul with a single sound. The opponent's true strength was probably at least at the great perfection level of the Nascent Soul, and he might even have stepped into the realm of the pseudo-Heavenly Monarch in the legend.
In this day and age, a pseudo-God of Heaven who is at the level of half a step to the true spirit is almost a rare figure in history.
If such a person were still alive, he would be qualified to compete for the supreme position of the world's number one. If he were in deep sleep, he would have to be an ancestor-level figure among the major ancient sects of the past.
At this moment, such an unfathomable divine object came into the world, even if it was just an illusion descending into the mortal world, it made everyone present feel extremely terrified.
Then in an instant, all the monsters were horrified, and each of them was so frightened that they dared not speak.
At this time, the golden figure slowly said: "The Taihuang lineage has made great contributions to the human race. Before his death, Daoist Fellow Taihuang went deep into the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains to fight. He is a hero of the human race in Chixiazhou."
"Considering your lineage's outstanding contributions, the Taihuang lineage can abandon the sacred mountain and the treasures and leave today. You must not stop us."
Upon hearing this, the Purple Robe True Lord of Taihuang Blessed Land immediately let out a sigh.
He understood that the Holy Lord of Taihuang had reached a tacit understanding with Xuanyang Cave Heaven. He used his last strength to test the Wan Yao Mountain and killed a Yuanhou Seed of Wan Yao Mountain in exchange for Xuanyang Cave Heaven leaving them a glimmer of hope.
Today, they only need to put down the heritage and treasures of the Taihuang lineage, and they can safely leave this Taihuang blessed land.
Although the price is huge, Taihuang Fudi has no choice.
Although the late Nascent Soul forces did not directly suffer this time, the masterminds behind the scenes must be giant forces such as Tianyao Mountain, White Tiger Lineage, Xuanyang Cave Heaven, Xuanyin Blessed Land, etc.
Among the Nascent Soul True Lords who took action, it is estimated that most of them have close ties with the major Nascent Soul late stage forces.
Because many resources in the Taihuang Blessed Land, including some rare ancient items, can be used as elixirs for refining the three great elixirs of the Yuanshen, the major Yuanying late-stage forces are also coveting it.
With their current strength, they are no longer qualified to occupy the Taihuang blessed land, nor do they have the ability to protect the Taihuang heritage. Sooner or later, they will be divided up by various major forces.
Thinking of this, the Purple Robe True Lord held the unwilling Golden Robe True Lord, and then said to the golden figure above the sky: "Thank you for your kindness, Senior. We will leave now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the Golden Robe True Lord and the last cultivator of the Taihuang lineage and headed out of the Taihuang blessed land.
Upon hearing this, the True Lords of the human and demon races in the periphery all had gloomy eyes.
The Taihuang lineage lost its heritage and sacred mountain, but these Yuanying Zhenjun are still alive, which may be a big trouble in the future. However, since Xuanyang Dongtian had spoken, the people present naturally had no way to stop him.
After the Taihuang people left, the golden phantom in the sky slowly disappeared, and the Yuanying Zhenjuns immediately took action.
A great battle broke out between the True Lords of the human and demon races over the Taihuang Blessed Land, and eventually its treasures were divided up by all the forces.
“That day has finally come.”
Ye Linyuan watched all this and couldn't help but sigh.
This time, the Taihuang Holy Land has lost its foundation and will most likely hide itself and lie dormant.
Without a giant force in the late Nascent Soul stage, Wan Yao Mountain will definitely take the opportunity to attack the Western Regions.
Because compared to a Taihuang holy land, the Western Regions have the heritage of dozens of Yuanying sects, hiding various ancient rare and magical medicines, including auxiliary and key auxiliary medicines for the three kinds of Yuanshen elixirs.
If the Demon Saint Emperor wants to step into the realm of the soul, these are the things he must collect.
"..."
Not long after the destruction of the Taihuang Blessed Land, hundreds of Nascent Soul Demon Kings gathered on the Tianyao Mountain in the center of the Wan Yao Mountain, and each of them looked towards the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountains, a majestic figure wearing a seven-colored imperial robe stood slowly, like the Holy Emperor of the Nine Heavens overlooking all living beings in the world.
"I've met the Holy Emperor."
Under the mountains, all the Nascent Soul Demon Kings bowed, with excitement in their pupils.
This Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor is one of the most powerful supreme giants in the ancient world of Haotian, and is also the strongest demon giant in Nanling.
They firmly believe that one day the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor will attain the status of Heavenly Sovereign and become the supreme ruler of the Haotian Ancient Realm for the next ten thousand years.
"No gifts."
The Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor spoke calmly, lifted everyone up with a flick of his sleeve, then looked towards the distant Chixia Continent and said, "This emperor wants to attain the realm of Heavenly Sovereign, but he is still short of a batch of key ancient spiritual medicines."
"I have heard that the major forces of the human race with a long history have mastered a lot of ancient spiritual medicines. If you can find what I need, I am willing to grant you the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Demon Furnace to practice."
Upon hearing this, all the demons showed expressions of ecstasy.
The Heavenly Demon Furnace is the most precious treasure of the ancient Heavenly Demon lineage. This treasure has the power to refine all impurities in the blood and enhance the potential of the blood.
If a descendant of a royal blood true spirit in the early Nascent Soul stage could obtain the purified bloodline of the Heavenly Demon Furnace, it would definitely be able to greatly enhance its potential, and there would even be a 20% to 30% chance of transforming into a true spirit of heaven and earth.
After the True Spirit of Heaven and Earth purifies one's bloodline, one can also slightly improve one's strength, and even slightly increase the possibility of breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
However, the cost of using the Heavenly Demon Furnace is extremely high. Each time it is opened, at least one fourth-level bloodline elixir is consumed, and the higher the user's cultivation level, the more it consumes.
Therefore, even though the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor has this treasure in his hands, he is rarely willing to grant others the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Demon Furnace to purify their blood.
This time he is willing to open up the use of the Heavenly Demon Furnace, which is a rare opportunity for all the Nascent Soul Demon Emperors present.
Therefore, at this moment, all the demon kings were eager to fight, and each of them was eager to fight to the sky.
"We will go all out to completely overturn the entire Western Region and find the elixir for your majesty to refine the magic pill."
As the orders from the Demon Kings were issued, the demon forces from more than one hundred main peaks came out one after another, gathering a large number of demons and heading towards Chixia Continent.
About three years later, the vanguard of the demon clan crossed the Wan Yao Mountain for the first time and launched an offensive on the western region of Chixia Continent.
The tens of millions of miles of territory controlled by Ye Linyuan also began to be invaded by the demons, and in just two years, he lost millions of miles of mountains and rivers.
“They’re really fast.”
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and a hint of emotion appeared on his face.
Beside Ye Linyuan, a group of Nascent Soul True Lords all looked solemn.
Ye Yingxu looked towards the distant mountains and rivers, and said calmly: "We have fortified our defenses and cleared the fields, concentrating our forces on a few sacred mountains, so the enemy's attack speed will naturally be faster."
"But their logistics are weak, and it will probably become increasingly difficult for them to continue fighting."
Everyone smiled when they heard this.
It turned out that Ye Linyuan had made an accurate judgment of the situation on the battlefield many years ago.
He believed that once the war with Wan Yao Mountain started, the three million miles of mountains and rivers near Wan Yao Mountain would not be able to withstand the attack of the demons.
Since we cannot hold it, we might as well choose to fortify the city and clear the countryside, and withdraw the monks and humans three million miles away from the front line.
The key to completing the scorching heat and clearing the countryside is to use the soul-capturing array to transform the soul veins into soul-gathering beads, and then cultivate high-level soul veins in the rear.
To this end, Ye Linyuan started planning nearly a hundred years in advance, completely converting the three million miles of spiritual veins on the front line into spirit gathering beads, turning it into a spiritless land with thin spiritual energy.
Relying on the spirit gathering beads he had absorbed, Ye Linyuan selected seven suitable places for gathering spirits in front of the three million mile defense line and built seven fourth-level immortal cities.
Countless families and cultivators have moved into the seven immortal cities, relying on the spiritual veins of the seven immortal cities to practice and reproduce.
These seven immortal cities are also garrisoned by Nascent Soul or False Infant immortals, so their defensive capabilities are absolutely unquestionable.
"Three million miles of desolate mountains and rivers, with no place to replenish spiritual energy, the Qi training demon race simply has no ability to cross it."
“Even if the foundation-building demon race manages to make it across, they will be exhausted and mentally drained.”
"By then, they will have no spiritual energy supply, and facing our seven fourth-tier immortal cities, they will surely suffer heavy losses if they want to defeat them."
Beside Ye Linyuan, True Lord Qingxuan spoke slowly, holding his beard and praising, "Daoyou's methods are so brilliant, it really makes this old man astonished."
Ye Linyuan was very calm. He gave up three million miles of mountains and rivers and allowed countless cultivators to evacuate in advance. The implementation of this plan was extremely difficult.
In order to achieve this, he prepared for hundreds of years in advance, allocated a huge amount of resources to subsidize the demolition, and promised tax exemption for two hundred years, but even this was not enough.
In order to ensure the implementation of the demolition plan, he did not hesitate to use bloody means, and hundreds of immortal clans and forces that hindered his demolition plan were wiped out by him.
It was only through such a combination of kindness and force that this was achieved, in exchange for these three million miles of desolate mountains and rivers.
In addition, this time, the battle of clearing the countryside caused countless low-level cultivators and mortals to die on the road, and the compensation and various resources they provided also cost the Ye family a lot.
Fortunately, the invasion of the demon tribe has made everyone realize the correctness of Ye Linyuan’s plan.
Countless forces, large and small, in the seven immortal cities were shocked and broke out in cold sweats upon learning of the invasion of the demon clan from Wan Yao Mountain, and they were deeply grateful for the decision of the Ye family.
If Ye Linyuan had not established strong defenses and cleared the countryside, the forces below the Nascent Soul stage would not have been able to stop the countless monsters.
By then, countless monsters will not only treat them as food, but they can also rely on large and small spiritual veins for supplies, and continue to snowball and sweep towards Red Dragon Mountain.
Now they have the protection of the fourth-level fairy city and spiritual veins, even the Yuanying Demon King would find it very difficult to break through. (End of this chapter)
