A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 187 The fight started
"Right now, rumors are flying everywhere that the two Holy Lords have encountered problems in their cultivation and have gone mad. Indeed, the two Holy Lords have reached a critical moment of seclusion, and we can't contact them at all. This has caused panic among many forces in the Chaotic Star Sea that are close to our Star Palace, and even some of our own Star Palace disciples are unsettled. At this time, the affairs of the palace are being handled entirely by Elder Tang and a few other elders at the mid-Nascent Soul stage."

"But we can only barely hold on."

"Both the righteous and the demonic paths are now stirring up trouble. With just those few mid-Nascent Soul cultivators and our group of twenty-odd early-Nascent Soul cultivators, it will be difficult to control the situation."

Elder Ximen sighed softly.

They were also deeply worried about the situation of the two saints.

"Well, since we can no longer suppress both the righteous and demonic paths, we can only weaken them by force. We need to use a tough stance to make them suspicious and unable to figure out our true situation."

"Speaking of which, Elder Xu and Elder Lian, who were in charge of certain matters on the outer twenty-four star islands, perished unexpectedly a few years ago. Even their Nascent Soul stage cultivators couldn't escape back to the Star Palace. I suspect that it was the righteous and demonic paths who were secretly sabotaging them..."

"This time, we should retaliate in kind!"

"Hmph, our Star Palace has ruled the Inner Star Sea for tens of thousands of years. It's not like we haven't faced crises that almost led to our downfall. But when have we ever failed to survive?"

The other person nodded.

Their stance became even more assertive.

"Yes, back then, two of our predecessors, the Twin Saints, were defeated by that invincible Heavenly Mirror Hermit of the same level! One of them was even killed on the spot! That person's existence once put our Star Palace in an extremely passive situation."

Tianjing Sanren was once the number one cultivator in the Chaotic Star Sea. At that time, he single-handedly fought against the entire Star Palace without being at a disadvantage, and his prestige shook the Chaotic Star Sea for hundreds of years. He was a figure that later generations of cultivators could hardly match.

It should be noted that their Star Palace Masters have always been among the best of their kind.

In a game of equal skill level, he is rarely defeated.

Not to mention the joint actions of the "husband and wife duo".

Two against one is always an invincible strategy.

result.

That time, however, I stumbled.

They still suffered a major setback.

"The Star Palace weathered the centuries-long shadow cast by that person, so what are these minor storms and drizzles now?"

"Besides, neither the current Six Paths Supreme Saint nor that madwoman Wan Sangu is a match for that Heavenly Mirror Hermit. And the two Saint Lords of my Star Palace are stronger than our predecessors, stronger than the Six Paths Supreme Saint and Wan Sangu. Palace Master Ling once decisively defeated both Wan Sangu and the Six Paths Supreme Saint..."

"Just two defeated opponents."

"As long as the two palace masters emerge from seclusion, everything will be fine."

"Furthermore, once the two Palace Masters reach the Nascent Soul stage, the Six Paths Supreme Saint and Wan Sangu will be nothing more than clowns. The Chaotic Star Sea will undoubtedly return entirely to the control of my Star Palace..."

It's like a "cycle".

When the Star Palace enters a period of decline, its influence will retreat to the area between the inner twelve star islands and the outer twenty-four star islands.

Once the constellations become powerful again, and greatness returns!

Then, the tentacles will once again reach out to the outer twenty-four star islands.

This compresses the development space for both the righteous and the demonic paths.

now.

Their constellation is simply in a low period.

Little did Ximen and his companion know that the reason why Liudao Jisheng and Wan Sangu formed the Reverse Star Alliance and chose to act so hastily at this time was because they were worried that Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing, both at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, would break through to the Divine Transformation stage!

I'm worried about the emergence of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

Once the Star Palace produces a Nascent Soul cultivator, these two great cultivators will have no choice but to flee to distant lands.

Those at the Nascent Soul stage can only keep a low profile and act like dogs.

There is no second option.

The ancient contract that the demon royal family was forced to sign makes it clear.

Do you really think that the two great demon beast royal families of the Star Sea want to coexist peacefully with humans?
Ultimately, they were all defeated by generations of Nascent Soul cultivators of the human race.

The tenth-level demon king, who was not convinced, did a lot of dirty tricks on the Star Palace's Nascent Soul Legend, and then left behind as a part of the Star Palace's foundation.

The Six Paths Supreme Saint and Wan Sangu are not fools; how could they sit idly by and wait for their doom?

The war broke out at this particular time precisely because of news received from within the Star Palace that Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing had once again entered a long period of seclusion. This situation could mean either that their cultivation had improved and they had one foot in the Nascent Soul stage, or that they had discovered the secrets of the Nascent Soul stage and were beginning their final breakthrough.

Regardless of the method, it is essential to disrupt the rhythm.

The two must be forced to leave the pass.

Therefore, the Reverse Star Alliance emerged.

Therefore, the undercurrents surging in the outside world have directly become the prelude to an epic war.

...

outside world.

The location of the twelve inner star islands.

Several large islands, each thousands of miles in size, are under siege by the forces of the Reverse Star Alliance.

The largest force was found in one of the locations.

Among the ranks arrayed in formation, two auras were so powerful they were suffocating and made one's mind tremble.

"Nanjing...late stage?!"

"It's the Six Paths Supreme Saint and Wan Sangu."

How did they get here?

"Is this an attempt to completely sever ties with my Holy Palace?"

In the island's largest city, more than thirty Core Formation cultivators led thousands of Foundation Establishment and a large number of Qi Refining disciples, standing ready for battle.

Another Nascent Soul stage elder from the Star Palace is stationed here.

At this moment, this person, with a gloomy expression, was manipulating the city-protecting formation to confront the Six Paths Supreme Saint and Wan Sangu.

My teeth are almost broken.

Of course, anger is one thing, but there is also a deep-seated fear hidden in one's heart.

On the other side were two powerful cultivators and several Nascent Soul cultivators.

There are also numerous Core Formation stage cultivators.

They could only rely on the city's defensive formation to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

"Fortunately, Shuoyang Island has been managed by my Holy Palace for countless years. No matter what, this place was once an important stronghold to resist the monster tides of the Inner Star Sea. There are countless array formations and restrictions on the island, including many ancient Nascent Soul level formations. Even Nascent Soul cultivators who fall into them risk death. They have never been removed, but have been maintained with a large amount of spirit stones, precisely to prevent the current situation from happening."

Back then, he didn't understand why Palace Master Ling Xiaofeng insisted on spending a large amount of spirit stones to maintain the operation of numerous ancient formations on the twelve inner star islands. He felt that the star palace was at its peak and there was absolutely no need for such a fuss.

Now he understands.

This ability to nip problems in the bud is something he lacks.

"Don't panic. There are plenty of powerful formations on the island. These wicked villains from both the righteous and demonic paths will find it extremely difficult to even approach Shuoyang City, let alone conquer this island..."

"We have plenty of spirit stones to keep them going."

"Moreover, the Holy Palace's support will arrive soon. Once the two Holy Lords emerge from seclusion, they will absolutely not let these treacherous dogs from both the righteous and demonic paths get away with it."

The Nascent Soul stage elder of the Star Palace boosted morale.

The effect is good.

The people in Xinggong felt much more at ease.

...

outside the island.

A massive formation composed of tens of thousands of cultivators slowly approached.

On two large ships, a man and a woman sipped tea and chatted idly.

"Liu Dao, do you think Ling Xiaofeng and your sister will come out of seclusion because of this little thing?"

The one who spoke was an elderly woman with a slightly hunched posture.

Although he looked old, he was still very energetic and showed no signs of aging.

"It's still early; it's definitely not time for them to come out yet."

The middle-aged man, who was sipping his tea, paused for a moment, then spoke with a slight twitch of his lips.

This person is none other than the Six Paths Supreme Saint.

"Do we have to fight our way to Tianxing City?"

"If we switched places with them, wouldn't we also be stubborn and refuse to give up until we see the coffin?"

"Too."

The old woman nodded.

"Then, Brother Wen, is our strategy truly to force the Twin Saints of Tianxing to emerge from seclusion?"

A mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, who was neither a righteous nor a demonic being, yet chose to join the Reverse Star Alliance, frowned and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, this is something we must do."

The Six Paths Saint put down his teacup and gave a calm yet unquestionable response.

The reason is quite simple:
"You don't want another Nascent Soul stage cultivator to appear in the Star Palace, do you?"

This chaotic star sea is temporarily inaccessible to those at the Nascent Soul stage.

And it absolutely cannot be Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing.

Otherwise, he would be dead.

Even if Wan Sangu breaks through to become a Nascent Soul cultivator, it will still be ten thousand times better than those two breakthroughs.

Therefore, the Star Palace's millennia-old foundation must be used to force Ling Xiaofeng and his younger sister to emerge from seclusion, thus ruining their mental state and other conditions.

If Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing truly come out of seclusion to fight, it will be exactly what he wants.

By then.

It doesn't matter if the righteous and the demonic paths lose this great battle.

It doesn't matter if he loses to Wan Sangu.

Anyway, we can keep trying and make a comeback.

After all, the Star Palace is not powerful enough to destroy the Holy Demon Island and the Myriad Laws Sect in a joint effort, nor is it powerful enough to wipe out the large number of righteous and demonic experts who have gathered here.

Furthermore, every now and then they would engage in some minor disturbances, just to prevent Ling Xiaofeng and the other person from having the energy and time to calmly settle down and focus on improving their cultivation.

In this way, their strategic objective was achieved.

If the two abandon their ancestral legacy and remain in seclusion, the righteous and demonic paths can easily eliminate the rest of the Star Palace, leaving them isolated and without anyone to care for them! Incidentally, this will also stain all the forces of the righteous and demonic paths in the Chaotic Star Sea with the blood of the Star Palace, dragging all other major forces down with them.

Until then.

Even if Ling Xiaofeng or his sister Wen Qing were to break through to the Nascent Soul stage by chance, they would still have hundreds or even two hundred Nascent Soul stage cultivators banding together for mutual support.

Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator is strong, can they possibly outlast hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators in a battle of attrition?
If all else fails, there's always the demon race from the outer seas that can be brought in.

Both the Jiaolong Clan and the Dragon Whale Clan have grudges against the Star Palace.

As long as I force the Nascent Soul stage cultivator to keep attacking and constantly depleting their own essence, I might be able to have the last laugh!
As long as I can drag those two down, what does it matter if I get suppressed for a while?
Of course, that's the worst-case scenario.

...

The Void Heaven Palace.

Lava Road.

Central Black Desert.

"This is the twenty-second group..."

Han Li looked at the swarm of Gold-Eating Insects cleaning up the battlefield, his anticipation growing stronger.

Seventeen small colonies, each consisting of several thousand fire ants, and five medium-sized colonies, each consisting of tens of thousands of fire ants, were successively harvested by the gold-devouring insects he controlled.

And throughout the entire process, not a single gold-eating beetle was killed!

Not a single one was damaged!
What an incredible record!
As long as his gold-devouring insects are not alone, the huge difference in individual strength, coupled with their numerical advantage and the aid of his divine sense, makes them utterly invincible and unstoppable.

More than twenty fire ant colonies were wiped out without a scratch in this way.

Fire ants, wiped out.

Gold-eating insects, zero casualties.

Some of the gold-eating beetles that had devoured a large number of fire ants had already shown signs of metamorphosis.

This black desert is undoubtedly a very difficult test for other cultivators; it is an extremely dangerous and perilous place.

But for him, it seems to have become a land of miracles?

"So, I should thank those two old guys from the Star Palace?"
