Free Web NovelChapter 488: Chapter 84: Zulu in Sight
Shen Fei walked out from the place where Qin Wan was staying, lost in thought.
"The Three Pristine Ones and the Five Emperors have disappeared; is it because of the ’Dao’?"
Shen Fei’s mind was rather unsettled. It seemed that the origins of Blue Star were much grander than he imagined.
"The Third Era... so now the Third Era has just revived?"
"The fall of the Divine Dynasty, the fleeing of many forces, perhaps one of the fleeing forces during the Age of Gods was the one that linked with the church..."
Shen Fei was absorbing the many pieces of information he learned from Qin Wan and now had some understanding of the Divine Dynasty and the Ancestral Court.
"My master and the others probably don’t know about the Divine Dynasty and the Ancestral Court.
After all, my master once said that even being Tier Ten was just stepping out of the cradle."
Shen Fei pondered that if the Divine Dynasty could create the power that mastered the Law through the Array alone back then,
then indeed, a Human Immortal was barely stepping out of the cradle.
"It seems I need to quickly end this Ancient Secret Realm."
Shen Fei walked to where the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable was, who was discussing matters with Shennong.
As for Duan Xiu, he went to teach Su Muyu, who had successfully changed her profession to a ’Sorcerer’.
Duan Xiu found Su Muyu’s talent and was quite happy to mentor her.
At least in the Jiu Li, he hadn’t found someone so suitable for his legacy.
Even now, the majority of the sorcerers within the Jiu Li only learned the Fusion witchcraft to merge various powers.
Few people studied the many witchcrafts that reflected power, such as Windcalling, Raincalling, and those that responded to the heavens and the earth.
After all, mastering a powerful Exotic Beast or plant through Fusion could make one rise to great heights instantly.
The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable casually waved his hand, and a chair appeared beside him, on which Shen Fei sat down.
With curiosity on his face, he asked, "How strong is the Drought Demoness?"
Shennong had already been a True Immortal for a long time.
And the Drought Demoness had just become a True Immortal, yet Shennong didn’t look in great shape after facing her.
"Very strong. Although not at my level, she is among the formidable True Immortals."
"Her mastery of the Dao of Drought Fiend, apart from having exceptionally strong attack capabilities, also rivals the recovery power of a Medicine Immortal in the Human Immortal Realm."
"I’m not skilled at one-hit kills, so we were in a stalemate for quite a while before I could force her to retreat."
"The Dao she comprehended is bizarre."
Shennong sighed, "I wonder what method Chan used.
He actually allowed a newly ascended True Immortal Drought Demoness to achieve such power."
Shen Fei pondered.
After all, Celestial Venerable Guangcheng was one of the twelve lineages of Chan, and even a fraction of his power could transform her completely.
It seems that my actions also caused the Secret Realm to heighten its difficulty to better test me.
Otherwise,
such a small amount of power wouldn’t necessarily have been mobilized, especially with historical evolution at play.
Shen Fei had also reversed the grand scheme, naturally facing a greater impact.
"No matter, as long as she’s not insanely powerful."
"But since she became a True Immortal, she might soon elevate the Unity Realm practitioners who cultivated the same Dao to Human Immortal."
Shen Fei raised an eyebrow, "True Immortals have such effects? I only knew that they symbolize a method of cultivation."
Shennong explained, "True Immortals have enlightenment of True Self, while Human Immortals comprehend the Law.
For example, those who cultivate my Medicine Immortal, if I wish, I can reveal my comprehension of the Law at any time.
So that people cultivating under Medicine Immortal can more quickly comprehend the Law to transcend to Human Immortal.
Like my former disciple Ma Shihuang, who did so and thus transcended to Human Immortal."
When Shennong mentioned Ma Shihuang, he no longer showed any emotional fluctuations.
As for Ma Shihuang, he had naturally already fallen.
Shen Fei lightly frowned, "In that case, can’t True Immortals mass-produce Human Immortals?"
Shennong shook his head in denial, "It’s not like that, it simply speeds up the birth of Human Immortals.
And even if more than one or two are born, that’s considered good."
"Moreover, there’s a downside. If one becomes a Human Immortal by this method, it will be difficult to break free from the shackles of the True Immortal."
Shen Fei hadn’t expected such a cultivation method but smiled, "Even a Human Immortal is just that."
"Indeed." Shennong nodded slightly, the current Jiu Li really couldn’t fear one or two Human Immortals.
"Reorganize yourselves and advance."
Shen Fei couldn’t wait to close this Ancient Secret Realm.
Since Qin Wan didn’t finish his sentence, it indicated that the information this Secret Realm could offer him was limited to this extent.
No matter what, he needed to go to the Age of Gods once, not just for the rewards inside.
But also to gain more information about the past from those behind the Secret Realm.
...
After reorganizing in Jiuli City for a long time, Jiu Li once again set forth like a dragon, heading towards the heart of Youxiong.
Many of the tribes along the way were deserted, naturally gathered back by Youxiong.
Otherwise, with Jiu Li’s might, staying in the tribe would only result in being broken and annexed.
To prevent further strengthening of Jiu Li.
However, long-term warfare also began to show its drawbacks; even with rivers as logistics,
the pace of advancement wasn’t as rapid as before.
Yet due to the previous strategy of steady and solid progress, there were cities or strongholds along the way for resupply.
Slow, but only a little slower.
And after the battle at Zhenyi City, this time Youxiong indeed suffered significant losses, even avoiding confrontations along the way.
"Up ahead is a plain called Zulu, although the terrain is flat, it’s surrounded by abundant water vapor."
In the marching camp, Shen Fei used a map he had sketched, "If the Ying Dragon becomes a True Immortal, this place would probably be one of the locations Youxiong must occupy."
"If the Ying Dragon becomes a True Immortal, the water vapor it can manipulate at will would be difficult for Gonggong, the Empress, and the Wind Master and Rain Master to resist."
"Even with the Ying Dragon, we are not afraid. Just let Priest Duan go to the battlefield, wouldn’t that solve it?" Gonggong didn’t deny the claim that they would have difficulty resisting if the Ying Dragon became a True Immortal.
The gap between True Immortals and Human Immortals is larger than directly facing the gap between the Unity Realm and Human Immortals.
Especially those who share the same Law, or similar Laws.
The Ying Dragon commands water, and if it used True Immortal cultivation to preside over the formation,
they would indeed find it hard to make any headway in water-related matters.
But even if they had the three great True Immortals, they naturally had the three great True Immortals to counter.
"We have to be cautious, since the Wind Queen could create an Array with the Unity Realm to resist Human Immortals, what’s to stop them from trying to resist True Immortals with Human Immortals?"
"Even for a moment, it would deal a massive blow to us." Gonggong couldn’t help but say.
Everyone nodded, acknowledging it was indeed an issue, and then all eyes turned to Shen Fei.
Since Shen Fei mentioned this place, he must have a plan for the next move.
"Han Ting, with Gonggong and the Empress, advance first to alter the river’s flow, temporarily rerouting it for some time..."
"Reduce its power as much as possible, since the plain location,
if the Ying Dragon stocks water in advance, creating an area of abundance for miles, advancing would be difficult for us as well."
