Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Otherwise, if you rush to help, wouldn't you be acting like a dog? There's no need to be so despicable.

In short, it's still a vanity project.

The dragon race's involvement has a sense of inevitable trend, and at the same time, it is a way of squeezing out the demon race.

The Twelve Immortals' plan was not kept secret from the Dragon Clan. They could have guessed some of it when they investigated the Wasteland Worms, so there was no point in hiding it.

And this plan—

"A meritorious deed for the present age" refers to: crippling the demon race.

"Benefits for generations to come" refers to eliminating the plague of barren insects.

After considering all the options, the demon race is still the most cost-effective enemy. Therefore, cooperation between humans and dragons became inevitable. Now, the Netherworld has joined in and suddenly killed two top-level powerhouses.

When faced with matters of principle, even the demon race can cooperate and should contribute their share; otherwise, everyone will perish together, and the ones who suffer the most are these top-tier powerhouses.

The Cangwu cultivation world is a great age for ascension. It's still acceptable that it was interrupted for three thousand years. But if it were to be extended to ten thousand or twenty thousand years... by the time these people die of old age, ascension would become a legend.

However, a number of sacrifices are needed to achieve the plan.

The demon race will not shirk their responsibility!
Therefore, it is only revealed to the demon race when there is no other choice, such as when the Netherworld launches a large-scale invasion, or when the other party is not fighting in the Western Wilderness and wants to change the location.

All the previous efforts and sacrifices were in vain. In a way, Gu Qing's killing of many demon lords was all for the benefit of everyone!

This is something that the ghosts of Cangwu could never have accomplished. There must have been multiple ghost emperors involved in the underworld. The fact that the Western Wilderness suffered such heavy casualties makes the forced opening of the Yin-Yang Road not a fabrication.

Apart from those born as Netherworld Lords, all ghosts born later in life cultivate the Ascension Path while alive. After death, they become stronger again, and a large portion of them also become Ascension Path ghost cultivators.

Take, for example, the Red-Clad Master under Gu Qing's command. Their memories of their previous lives are not only their past but also a foundation for their strength.

This batch of ghost cultivators is also a sacrifice to encourage the creation of more spiritual veins.

With the general direction determined, the next step was to make detailed arrangements, and the Great Dream Immortal Lord gave instructions to his men.

"Daoist Ping Sui, you and your fellow Daoist from the North Sea Dragon Clan will enter the Netherworld to investigate information about the Ghost Emperor."

"Yes!"

"Qimen Sword Master, you and your fellow Daoist from the East Sea Dragon Clan have planned a map of Yin energy gathering with the Western Wilderness as the center. The Netherworld Invasion must still have accomplices in the mortal world. If you can find them, it will be avenge for your senior brother."

"I'll take your orders!"

With a clear goal, Qimen Jianjun's spirits were significantly boosted; hatred can sometimes be more motivating than survival.

"Tian Yunzi, coordinate the Western Wilderness front and be responsible for all matters related to the attack on the demon race."

"Treasure lands and secret realms, take them if you can. Leave the spiritual veins untouched, even if they are damaged. All cultivators should focus on killing the demon race at all costs."

"I understand."

This order was essentially a massacre, setting a precedent for humanity. It was cruel and ruthless, but there was no other way.

Even if history records it, it will be attributed to the Great Dream Immortal Lord, who ordered him to take responsibility.

According to the plan, the entire Western Wilderness will be abandoned, and the resources left here can be exploited in a destructive manner. This operation will probably terrify the powerful demon.

After all, it seemed like they were destined to perish together.

Generally speaking, while fighting may occur, it rarely damages mining resources. As long as there is a "source ore" in this world, derivative minerals will be continuously generated.

As long as the necessary elements such as metal and earth are supplied, they will be produced continuously. These are the foundation of a power. Destroying them means losing them. The more they lose, the more unstable their emotions become, and sooner or later they will face certain death.

Normal warfare wouldn't go to such extremes, but the current situation is critical, so we can only incite more resistance from the demon race and get them to send more people to the Western Wilderness to teach them a lesson.

"The Golden Mother of the Northern Underworld, the Dao Lord of Nine Thunders, and Feng Xian."

"The three of you possess the Kunpeng Wings, making you the fastest in Cangwu."

"Both Lightning Release and Wind Release techniques are among the fastest in the world. You should establish a mobile force to provide support to the front lines at any time." "Agreed."

"it is good."

It's true that the Great Dream Immortal Lord is the strongest human, but in terms of cultivation level, he's on the same level as everyone else. It's impossible for him to command someone of the same level, as everyone has self-respect and pride.

But extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Moreover, last time, Immortal Lord Da Meng had already broken through to the Quasi-Fourth Grade realm, and was only one Creation Tribulation away from reaching the standard for ascension, which widened the gap between them again.

This is completely different from the previous meeting of Daoist masters at Kunlun Mountain, where everyone made decisions together and discussed them.

Gu Qing had only recently entered this level and hadn't even gotten to know everyone yet. While others might have gotten used to it, he keenly noticed the differences between the two meetings.

If before it was about respect and recognition, now there is a subtle trend of recognizing Immortal Lord Da Meng as the leader. Once the plan succeeds, no one will doubt whether he can survive the Tribulation of Creation.

There is no doubt that if they succeed, thanks to the demon immortals, the human race will truly shine and become the next ruler of Cangwu after the "Supreme Dragon Court" and the "Ancient Demon Court".

Gu Qing's thoughts wandered, and suddenly he felt he had a name in mind: [Heavenly Court]!
He was not worried about this situation; in fact, he was quite happy with it.

The intensity of the war decreased, and the conflict was brought to an end.

The battles between fifth-rank experts will be reduced to the lower and middle realms, with the upper-rank Dao Lords becoming the most visible fighting force.

This was also Gu Qing's breakthrough opportunity.

He had longed for the Fifth Rank Supreme Celestial Garden.

After the meeting in the temporary main hall of the Burial Valley, he privately stopped Tian Yunzi and talked to him about this matter, since it might take several years or even ten years to break through.

Anything can happen at times like this, so we must inform Senior Tianyunzi, who will take over as commander-in-chief.

Upon hearing this news, Tianyunzi was also very surprised.

"Last time you broke through to the next realm after two hundred years of seclusion at Tianchi, how come you're about to break through again so soon?"

Gu Qing smiled shyly.

"To be honest, I had already broken through to the middle level before entering the Heavenly Pool. I had the foundation of comprehending the Dao for two hundred years, which is why I was able to break through to the upper level before the Battle of Burial Valley."

"The auxiliary cultivation method I practice has a very high degree of overlap with the realm of 'Five Qi Gathering at the Origin'. After transformation, I directly reached the advanced level of mastery."

"After several battles, and by using the Devouring Technique and this treasure to obtain the essence of the Demon Lord's corpse, he quickly reached the peak of the Upper Realm and is now at the right time to break through to the next level."

Gu Qing patted the gourd at his waist, explaining things clearly without fear of being stopped.

With Tian Jianzi dead and the demon race also losing a Sun-Devouring Hou, having another Supreme Dao Lord at this time would only benefit the human race, not harm it.

Tian Yunzi was stunned. He counted on his fingers and realized that Gu Qing was still a few years away from being five hundred years old. This talent was simply breathtaking.

Ascension was definitely not his end, he couldn't help but sigh.

"I will help you cover it up, fellow Daoist. I wish you a smooth breakthrough and a bright future on the path to immortality."

"I accept your good words."

After bowing and taking his leave, Gu Qing went to find the Third Pill Daoist to borrow the [Dan River] from Taihe Mountain to improve the superficiality he might experience after breaking through to the next realm.

After all, the breakthrough was too fast, so we have to be a little careful.

On the other hand, one must also prepare for breaking through to the fourth rank in the future. In ancient times, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was far less abundant than it is now, yet cultivators could still break through to the fourth rank, and even go further beyond it.

They will only choose to ascend when there is no further progress to be made.

There's no reason why cultivators today can't do it. The favorable development of the natural environment is essentially a manifestation of the increase in the source energy of the Cangwu Realm.

Who knows, maybe the potential is even higher? That's all possible. (End of Chapter)
