Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

The war between Tianhua Palace and Xueying Palace is about to break out.

Tianhua Palace anticipated that Blood Eagle Palace would hide behind the various forces in the Southern Region, using those affiliated forces as cannon fodder to wear them down.

In order to alleviate the pressure, Tianhua Palace announced that they were only targeting the evil immortal force, Blood Eagle Palace, and raised the banner of righteousness, saying that anyone who stood with Blood Eagle Palace was standing against all the righteous forces in Tianyan Immortal Domain and would be purged sooner or later.

At the same time, Tianhua Palace also reminded the forces in the Southern Region not to forget that Tianhua Palace's sphere of influence is now adjacent to the Sunset Mountains.

When the various forces in the Southern Region saw the announcement released by Tianhua Palace, they were all reluctant to launch a war against Tianhua Palace.

If all the forces in the Southern Region were to attack together, Tianhua Palace would undoubtedly be no match for them. However, Tianhua Palace has stated that they are located right next to the Sunset Mountains.

If we really push Tianhua Palace to the brink and they break the seal on Sunset Mountain Range, releasing those strange creatures, then the entire Southern Region will be doomed.

Of course, most importantly, the leaders of the various forces in the Southern Region are not fools. They also know that the Blood Eagle Palace wants them to be cannon fodder in order to weaken the strength of the righteous forces in the Southern Region.

However, although they were unwilling to attack Tianhua Palace, they still had to put on a show. They had all chosen to submit to Blood Eagle Palace, and if they did nothing, Blood Eagle Palace would definitely cause them trouble.

Under pressure from the Blood Eagle Palace, the various forces in the Southern Region pretended to send a large army to attack the Tianhua Palace. However, although they made a big show of it, they did not pose a significant threat to the Tianhua Palace. It was all bark and no bite.

Blood Demon Immortal Venerable could see that the various forces in the Southern Region were only going through the motions, and he also guessed their ulterior motives. Even though he was very dissatisfied with those forces, Blood Demon Immortal Venerable couldn't do anything about them for the time being.

The main problem is that the Blood Ancestor has fallen into a deep sleep. There are not many Immortal Venerables in the Blood Eagle Palace now, so the Blood Eagle Palace can't find a suitable target to make an example of. For now, they can only leave it hanging like this.

The Blood Eagle Palace couldn't destroy the Heavenly Flower Palace, and the Heavenly Flower Palace was equally helpless against the Blood Eagle Palace, so the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The war between Tianhua Palace and Blood Eagle Palace is still ongoing. A major war between super immortal sects usually lasts for tens of thousands of years, so ten years is only the beginning.

However, ten years have passed, and people have not seen the Immortal Emperor of the Blood Eagle Palace make a move, which has led people to suspect that there might be something wrong with that Immortal Emperor.

The Immortal Emperor has spoken, ordering all forces in the Southern Region to submit to the Blood Eagle Palace. However, the Heavenly Flower Palace is ungrateful and not only refuses to submit, but also leads some forces to rebel against the Blood Eagle Palace. This is a provocation to an Immortal Emperor.

The Immortal Emperor cannot be insulted. Logically speaking, the Blood Ancestor of the Blood Eagle Palace should have been furious and had already personally suppressed the Heavenly Flower Palace. However, ten years have passed, and the Blood Ancestor has not made a move at all. This seems rather abnormal.

Tianhua Hall.

Inside the council hall, the immortals of Tianhua Palace discussed the current situation in the Southern Region.

At this moment, Celestial Venerable Tianfeng spoke up, saying, "The Blood Ancestor hasn't even made a move yet, so I'm afraid there's a big problem with his strength."

Another immortal said from the side, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe the Blood Ancestor is still consolidating his cultivation because he just broke through to become an immortal emperor."

After a breakthrough, immortals usually don't immediately engage in battle; instead, they choose to consolidate their cultivation. Xuan Qingyun spent a lot of time consolidating his cultivation after recovering it, so it's possible that Blood Ancestor is also consolidating his cultivation.

Just then, Lu Chen in the main hall spoke up: "Not necessarily. He may be in a sealed state and unable to take action personally."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, everyone turned to look at him. Immortal Venerable Taihua asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

Lu Chen said, "I once captured a Celestial King from the Blood Eagle Palace. According to him, the Blood Ancestor's main body seems unable to leave the Blood Eagle Palace's small world and is in a state of slumber most of the time."

"Therefore, I suspect he is likely a self-proclaimed Immortal Emperor whose strength has greatly diminished, and he can only remain in slumber most of the time, unable to act freely." Upon hearing this, the Immortal Venerables of Tianhua Palace immediately became excited, and Immortal Venerable Taihua hurriedly asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Lu Chen said, "The Blood Eagle Palace once sent a Celestial King to try to find out the location of my main body. I learned this information from that Celestial King, so it should be true."

Although Lu Chen knew that the Blood Ancestor was likely an extraterrestrial being, he didn't need to tell these people now; he could just treat the Blood Ancestor as an Immortal Emperor.

Taihua Immortal Venerable said, "If he is indeed a self-proclaimed Immortal Emperor whose lifespan is nearing its end, then our chances of success have increased even further!"

At this point, Immortal Venerable Taihua suddenly thought of something, "Immediately send someone to spread this news. If the forces in the Southern Region find out that the Blood Ancestor is nearing his end, they may very well turn against us."

The Blood Eagle Palace's affiliated forces are all opportunists. If they were to discover that the Blood Eagle Palace is merely outwardly strong but inwardly weak, and that the Blood Ancestor is not a normal Immortal Emperor, they might very well choose to defect and side with the Heavenly Flower Palace.

Even if those forces do not defect for the time being, they will not attack Tianhua Palace, but will wait for Tianhua Palace and Blood Eagle Palace to determine the winner.

In this way, the pressure on Tianhua Palace will be greatly reduced.

If the Tianhua Palace's army can breach the Blood Eagle Palace's small world, then the Tianhua Palace will have a good chance of sealing the Blood Ancestor.

Soon, the news that the Blood Ancestor of the Blood Eagle Palace was a self-proclaimed Immortal Emperor spread throughout the entire Southern Region. When the leaders of various forces heard this rumor, their hearts began to waver.

For a time, the situation in the Southern Region seemed to be developing in a direction favorable to the Tianhua Palace.

……

Hidden Moon Sect.

Inside a palace crafted from black, celestial gold, green flames danced on the lamps.

On the celestial throne in the palace, the Hidden Moon Cult Leader was reading the memories of a spy.

After reading the spy's memories, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader muttered to himself, "Ten years, not a single sound. How can they be so patient?"

"Could it be that that person is truly nearing the end of their life, and their strength has significantly decreased, so they dare not reveal their true power?"

At this point, the Hidden Moon Sect Master said to the Immortal Kings in the main hall below who were in charge of gathering information: "Next, you should focus on the movements of the Blood Eagle Palace. It would be best to capture more of the evil immortals of the Blood Eagle Palace and see if you can find out any information about the Blood Ancestor."

"Yes, Master."

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader continued, "You may leave now."

"Your subordinate takes his leave." The immortal king then departed.

After the Celestial King left, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader prepared to send someone to convey the Celestial Decree, instructing all forces in the Wilderness to prepare for war.

Although he doesn't know the specifics of the Blood Ancestor's condition yet, he's already convinced that the Blood Ancestor is finished. This kind of war between realms is even more protracted than the war between immortal sects, so the preparation time is naturally very long.

Make preparations early, so that if the Blood Ancestor really fails, they can invade the Southern Region immediately.

Just as the Hidden Moon Sect Leader was thinking this, suddenly the heavens and earth trembled, and the concentration of immortal energy in the air increased dramatically once again. (End of Chapter)
