Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 613 Showdown

In a pure white space, a conference table suddenly appeared. Eight figures, both men and women, sat around the table. Without exception, all their gazes were focused on the person at the head of the table, who had a pair of fox ears on her head, nine fox tails behind her, wore a white dress, and had long, light pink hair casually draped over the back of her chair. Her snow-white legs were crossed under the table, her right elbow was resting on the conference table, and her delicate hand casually supported her extremely alluring face.

At the conference table, no one spoke. They all knew that the woman at the head of the table was willing to start this meeting now, most likely to begin all the plans she had previously outlined.

"Everyone, you've all waited so long, and I, Jingxuan, will no longer keep it from you." As soon as Jingxuan finished speaking, everyone at the conference table, including Jingmeng, sat up straight.

Jingxuan's gaze started from the first person on her left and went down. She said something to each person she looked at.

"Nine Heavens Sword Immortal, Nine Nirvana Phoenix, Nine Heavens Empress, Nine Netherworld Sword Master, Nine Lives Immortal Emperor, Other Shore Flower Fairy, Xuanyuan Emperor, Undying War God, and me, Nine-Tailed Immortal Fox."

After calling out to everyone on both sides of the conference table, Jingxuan leaned back lazily in her chair and continued, "I've told you before that the eight of you were merely created for my own scheme. But I don't think I've ever told you what my scheme is, what kind of scheme I want to set up, or how I hope to achieve it. But now, the time has come, and I will answer all your questions. Now, you may ask your questions."

Upon hearing Jingxuan's words, Jingmeng was the first to raise a question: "I know your plan is for him, but what makes you so confident that it will fool him, and how can you be sure it will work?"

Jingxuan simply smiled lightly, and with a casual wave of her hand, a flash of cold light suddenly shot onto the conference table, landing squarely in the center.

"You all should recognize this sword, right? It's the Zhuxian Sword, the White Emperor!" Seeing the doubts in the eyes of the other eight people, Jing Xuan slowly spoke and said softly, "The White Emperor was originally the best weapon I forged for the Nine Heavens Sword Immortal, Jing Meng. It's also the only one in that starry sky. I probably don't need to explain its power and capabilities to everyone here. Of course, the materials used to forge the White Emperor are not comparable to any ordinary treasures."

Even Jing Meng, the master of the White Emperor, was utterly bewildered and confused at this point. Jing Xuan had never told her about the materials used to forge the White Emperor. Was she really going to reveal this secret, kept hidden for nearly ten thousand years, today?

"Jingxuan, do you still remember the strongest celestial calamity in that starry sky, which gradually dissipated and eventually disappeared completely, the dual black and white hole called 'The End'?" Jingxuan did not tell everyone what the White Emperor's materials were right away, but instead asked Jingmeng.

Jing Meng pondered for a moment before replying, "'The End'? I do remember that three hundred years after the appearance of the 'White Emperor,' 'The End' completely disappeared into the starry sky."

"The 'White Emperor' is made from the black hole singularity, also known as the 'black hole core,' which I retrieved from the black hole called 'The End.' As for 'Yan,' it is this item."

As soon as Jingxuan finished speaking, another streak of light appeared on the conference table in the blink of an eye. After everyone saw it clearly, they all exchanged glances, seeing confusion and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

Because what appeared on the conference table was only a nearly transparent, still-beating heart.

"This is the core of 'Yan'. Unfortunately, I don't know its function either. However, with just these two items, I think it's more than enough to deal with him. Because even he is helpless against these things." Jingxuan smiled and said casually.

"So, you even lost your life because of these two things?" Jing Meng looked at the two items on the table, slowly raised her head, and looked at Jing Xuan at the head of the table.

"That's right. I was seriously injured in order to obtain those two items, and even my cultivation level dropped as a result. That's how he found his opportunity. But back then, and even now, I still know very well that even with the power of 'The End,' I couldn't possibly contend with him. So, you can understand it as me choosing to die for myself." Jingxuan's seemingly calm face constantly revealed that she still harbored resentment about this matter.

To Jingmeng's right, a woman wearing a fiery red dress, with long fiery red hair and a cool, delicate face, seemed to want to ask something.

However, Jingxuan interrupted him, saying, "According to my previous plan, you would at least grow to the level of Immortal Emperor. As for how many lives you would have, that would depend entirely on your talent. It's just a pity that he noticed you before you even grew up. If we have to say, Jinghuang and Jingmeng are the two people who can most directly threaten him and even bring him down from his pedestal."

"Then why?" The question Jinghuang wanted to ask seemed to be exactly what Jingxuan had expected. As soon as Jinghuang opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Jingxuan again.

"I know what you want to ask. You are indeed the ones who can most directly threaten him, even bring him down from his pedestal. However, as I said before, you were discovered by him before you had fully grown. With your strength at that time, it was far from enough to bring him down from his pedestal. As for Jing Meng, although she has grown to the level of a Three-Life Immortal Emperor, she is still not qualified to directly attack him. Therefore, Jing Meng was a bit too hasty."

"Because of your two experiences as cautionary tales, I adopted the most conservative approach for the next six. Thanks to this, they were all able to reach extremely high levels. The Nine Heavens Empress is the most successful example. With the help of me, Jing Meng, and Jing Huang, she eventually grew to the Eight-Life Immortal Emperor, but that was still not enough. The Nine Nether Sword Master, on the other hand, is someone I developed through a different path. He was also the most unexpected person to me, abandoning all the paths I laid out and forging his own path. It can be said that the Nine Nether Sword Master was the closest to success among all of us."

As Jing Xuan uttered her last word, all eyes turned to the woman beside Jing Huang, a woman in a white robe, whose demeanor could be described as icy and aloof. This woman was none other than Jing Yuan, the Nine Heavens Empress, the Eight-Life Immortal Emperor, as Jing Xuan had spoken of. Having reached the Three-Life Immortal Emperor level, she had already grasped the Dao of Cause and Effect, and even used it to attain the Five-Life Immortal Emperor level. During Jing Yuan's lifetime, under the starry sky, no one dared to call her name directly; if anyone did, Jing Yuan would sense it.

To Jing Yuan's right stood a handsome man with a hollow right eye, dressed in tattered clothes. His unkempt hair, however, did not make him appear disheveled; instead, it added a touch of world-weary disillusionment. He was the Nine Nether Sword Master that Jing Xuan had mentioned, and his sword was undoubtedly the "White Emperor" on the conference table.

"Jing You was the closest to success among all of us. With the assistance of the 'White Emperor' and his own mastery of the 'Netherworld Sword Technique,' he was severely injured by seven peak Immortal Emperors. However, he was one step behind and ultimately lost."

"As for the Nine Lives Immortal Emperor, the Fairy of the Other Shore Flower, the Xuanyuan Emperor, and the Undying War God, I simply chose not to interfere. However, they did not disappoint me. In the end, they all achieved considerable success. The fact that we can now leisurely discuss these matters here is also thanks to their contributions." Jing Xuan looked at the four people on her left, in order: Nine Lives Immortal Emperor, Jing Ming, Fairy of the Other Shore Flower, Jing Hua, Xuanyuan Emperor, Jing Yi, Undying War God, and Jing Tianming.

"Getting back to the main point. What I've said above is why I'm so confident that I can keep it from him. With him still recovering from his serious injuries, he has no interest in, and cannot, in figuring out, what we're doing. Secondly, how to make it work on him—that's something I need to explain to you all."

Jingxuan paused for a moment, drawing everyone's attention back to the matter, before continuing, "You must understand, there have been successful cases, and more than once. Furthermore, Jingchen is our last hope. If we win this battle, we won't have to vanish into the starry sky; if we lose, it will be a complete defeat."

"Jingmeng once told me that bringing the 'White Emperor' into the world so early might attract his attention, but I don't care at all. Jingchen has plenty of time. Even if he notices him because of this, I have my own ways of dealing with it. Besides, don't you all think that Jingchen's growth process has been much smoother than ours?"

"Such smooth growth, coupled with so many powerful fighters by his side, and the 'Yan' that he has never let you use, will all become his final trump card. As for the future, to be honest, I can't guarantee anything. However, I believe that Jing Chen, like us, is unwilling to be second to anyone. Perhaps later, when he understands the cause and effect of his past, the growth and unknown potential he unleashes will shock all of us."

At this point, "White Emperor" and "Yan" had disappeared from the conference table in front of everyone, and in their place was a face.
