Chapter 673: Successive Conquests

The sermon did not end until before the second small court meeting. The Immortal Hongluan talked about the steps from the True Immortal to the breakthrough of Daluo. All the immortals gained a lot and had many insights on the path of cultivation. They ascended to become True Immortals, the Celestial Immortals overcame the five decays, the Golden Immortals integrated into the Tao, the Taiyi realized the Tao and practiced the Tao, and the Daluo touched the laws.

The Immortal Master Hongluan did not talk about specific methods of cultivation, but about the secrets of the immortal's promotion. He explained everything in great detail and thoroughly, and even the Taiyi group felt very novel and gained a lot. They had a new understanding of the past and future immortal paths, which was very rare.

This was also the longest sermon that all the immortals had ever heard, a full 177 years. During this period, including Chen Lei, the newly promoted headmaster, all went into seclusion and did not care about other things at all. Fortunately, he had already made arrangements, and the Luotian Immortal Sect would not have any trouble because of the headmaster's seclusion.

After the sermon, all the immortals left. One year later, the second small court meeting was held. At this small court meeting, the emperor and empress congratulated the Immortal Hongluan on his promotion, and announced all the rewards and various powers. The Immortal Hongluan would also directly sit in the Guanglong Universe and be in charge of the Star Alliance, and his power would be considerable.

In addition to the appearance of the Immortal Lord Hongluan, the Emperor and Empress also blocked the Eight Desolate Universe in the name of Heaven, temporarily not allowing other immortals to freely enter and exit the Eight Desolate Universe. In particular, Skynet transmission was temporarily stopped. Anyone who wanted to use Skynet transmission had to apply separately, and even messages could not be sent out of the Eight Desolate Universe.

Such a sudden change left many immortals confused, but some had some guesses, and some knew the inside story directly. Although there were still scattered voices of opposition, the emperor and empress became more and more domineering and did not give them any chance to object, so they finally had to agree.

In the 42,027th year of the Eight Desolate Calendar, the second small court meeting came to an end. There was one more immortal in the Heavenly Court, which was a great joyous event, but that was not the reason for ending the small court meeting so quickly. Many things were strange, but no one would discuss it publicly. After the small court meeting ended, undercurrents surged in the Eight Desolate Universe, and the news spread rapidly.

“It’s time to take action.”

Immortal Master Mo Hen smiled at Immortal Master Hong Luan and said, "Is it you who will do it this time, or me?"

"I can do either," said Hongluan Immortal Venerable, "but just let the Calamity Demon God come. Their magical powers are just right for the opening."

"I agree." Immortal Master Mo Hen nodded, obviously having understood the Demon God of Natural Disasters and was willing to trust him.

"In that case, let the Calamity Demon God take action," the Empress said, "notify the Dragon Clan and the Red Fate Palace to follow us and take action together."

The Dragon Clan and the Chi Ming Dao Palace have been waiting for a long time. It has been more than two thousand years since the cooperation plan was formulated. The Dragon Clan is still okay, after all, they have the battleship blueprints of the Heavenly Court. They have built their own Dragon Clan battleships and are still optimistic about the cooperation with the Heavenly Court.

But the same cannot be said for the Chi Ming Taoist Palace. There are still gossips, which makes it difficult for Qi Dong and other fellow disciples. Now that the Immortal Master Hong Luan has come out of seclusion and the news has been passed back, they have suppressed the voices of dissatisfaction. They also learned about the new plan of the Heavenly Court, and everyone still agrees with taking away the Tianzun Castle.

After the emperor and empress made the decision, the God of Natural Disaster also learned the news.

The five natural disaster demon gods contacted each other through the Skynet. Knowing that the emperor and empress had given everyone orders, they did not dare to neglect them. In the early summer of the 42,030th year of the Eight Desolate Calendar, the five natural disaster demon gods immediately started to cast a spell together and began to return all the disaster power that had been cleared up to Yueshan Daluo.

Not only that, the disasters of other people were also continuously sent to Yueshan Daluo through the cause and effect by the five natural disaster demons. This made Yueshan Daluo, who was in retreat, suddenly feel the power of disaster. A thick dark cloud directly covered the place where Yueshan Daluo was in retreat.

"The catastrophe has occurred, damn it."

Yueshan Daluo didn't care about the cause of the disaster, he just felt that the disaster came at the wrong time, and he immediately wanted to find the Natural Disaster Demon God, but he was reluctant to give up the opportunity to comprehend the Five Elements Ring Lock. He hesitated at the wrong time, which caused the disaster to accumulate rapidly and erode his body step by step.

Damn, it's affected after all.

Yueshan Daluo was shocked and angry. If it were in the past, he would not hesitate at all and would definitely ask the God of Natural Disaster to come directly. But this time he hesitated. It didn't mean that Yueshan Daluo didn't trust him, but that he found that he had been affected by the power of disaster, and the influence was even very great.

He is a Daluo Golden Immortal. Logically speaking, he should not be contaminated by anything. However, this time, due to the spell cast by the Natural Disaster Demon God and the secret cover-up of the Heavenly Dao Net of the five universes, Yueshan Daluo did not realize that it was the Natural Disaster Demon God who was causing trouble. Instead, he thought that it was his own battle that caused unnecessary trouble.

Several Daluo have been fighting for thousands of years and destroyed many universes, leaving the place in chaos. There must have been many sins and disasters, but Yueshan Daluo relied on the prototype of the holy weapon and the cooperation of the natural disaster demon god, so of course he was not afraid. He didn't expect that when the disaster broke out, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Disaster struck suddenly, and the strange phenomenon here was soon discovered.

But no immortal dared to approach, because this was Yueshan Daluo's territory, and those guarding nearby were all his people, so there were usually no outsiders. So unless Yueshan Daluo came out, they would not let anyone approach, and so they allowed the disaster to break out without any means to stop it.

The situation here spread out quickly, and the natural disaster demon gods also learned about the situation through the Heavenly Dao Net. They were secretly delighted. As early as when Yueshan Daluo asked the five Tribulation Immortals to remove the aura of disaster, they had already started to learn. This was the method of the Tribulation Immortals, and with the cover of the Heavenly Dao Net, they were not discovered by Yueshan Daluo at all.

Now, as the ritual was performed, the calamity energy that had been removed before appeared in multiples, and the sins and disasters that had brought harm to the universe also appeared. The disasters that had occurred for so many years broke out at the same time, so it was naturally extraordinary. Even the Five Demon Gods of Natural Disasters were amazed at the scene of the disaster, not to mention the emperor and empress and others far away in the heavenly court.

Yueshan Daluo remained awake, using the power of Heavenly Dao's authority and communicating with the holy artifacts to help him suppress and protect himself from disasters. At the same time, he secretly wondered whether it was the sudden appearance of Heavenly Dao's net that was harming him. He was also prepared to ask the natural disaster demon gods to come and help him solve the problem. He still didn't even think that there was anything wrong with the natural disaster demon gods.

Unfortunately, the disaster was just the beginning. As the energy of disaster continued to accumulate, even the authority of Heaven could not suppress it, not to mention that there was also the Heavenly Net pushing it forward. And the holy weapon was not born after all. He was just borrowing a trace of power, or through the authority of Heaven. So over time, the energy of disaster filled into his heart and polluted the fruit of Tao.

After 2,050 years of the Eight Desolations Calendar, the aura of disaster was so thick that people could not look directly at it. The entire universe was filled with the aura of disaster. The Yueshan Alliance finally discovered that something was wrong and began to order the guarding immortals to retreat, but these immortals were affected by the power of disaster and began to kill the people of the Yueshan Alliance.

A brutal internal fight began, and as the killing began, the disaster affected all the immortals and even the entire universe. Tiandao Luowang took this opportunity to go a step further and gained more power over the Heavenly Dao, while Yueshan Daluo was lost in the disaster.

Disaster entering the orifice means that the energy of disaster, like a substance, pours into the heart orifice and begins to disturb the mind and soul.

Going a step further, it would pollute the Dao Fruit. The Dao Fruit would not be polluted originally, and it even had the effect of suppressing disasters. But this time the disaster broke out because of the magical powers performed by the natural disaster demon gods, which detonated all the disasters, causes and effects, and sins in one step. Yueshan Daluo was caught off guard and could not bear it at all.

The key to everything is not only the spell cast by the Natural Disaster Demon God, but also the Heavenly Dao Net that eroded the authority of Heavenly Dao, distorted Yueshan Daluo's mind, and even promoted the outbreak of disaster. So everything happened just like that, and the entire universe was filled with disasters. In order not to lose himself completely, Yueshan Daluo sealed himself.

"He sealed himself," Fu Yunzi said to the emperor and empress, "This is the best choice. Yue Shan can be called a hero."

"I don't care what kind of hero he is. I just want to know if I can get a Taoist soldier of the Daluo Golden Immortal next." asked the Empress.

"There is more than one," Fu Yunzi said with a smile, "Hongluan Immortal Venerable and Mohen Immortal Venerable have already arrived, and it will be over soon."

While the two were talking, Immortal Venerable Hongluan and Immortal Venerable Mohen each found a Daluo Golden Immortal from the Yueshan Alliance, and the Dragon Clan and the Chi Ming Dao Palace took action against their respective targets. In this way, the Heavenly Court did not have to worry about anything. Qinglian Daluo and Qianyu Daluo also appeared in the Yueshan Alliance through the Skynet.

The two Daluo captured the Daluo fighter alive, and then sealed him with the Heavenly Dao Net. After they were teleported to the Jade Emperor Palace through the Skynet, the two Daluo Golden Immortals were also entangled by the two Immortal Lords. After the two Daluo dealt with the Daluo fighter, they also came to support.

The two Daluo Jinxian of Yueshan Alliance discovered in despair that they could not sense the way of heaven in the universe, nor could they use the power of authority. Although the Heavenly Dao Net could not completely control the authority of Heavenly Dao, as Yueshan Daluo sealed himself, the Heavenly Dao Net could easily cut off the authority of the two Daluo Jinxian of Yueshan Alliance.

A two-on-one situation was formed, and with the help of the Heavenly Dao Net, a comeback was no longer possible. After only three years, the two Daluo Golden Immortals could not bear it anymore. When they wanted to self-destruct the Daluo immortal treasure to escape the universe, the Heavenly Dao Net took the lead and sealed their immortal treasures. It was actually the Heavenly Dao clone of the Eight Desolate Universe who made the move from a distance.

In the 42,055th year of the Eight Desolate Calendar, the Heavenly Court launched a thundering attack and completely defeated the Yueshan Alliance, occupying five Daluo-level universes and all the universes under its command. Except for the Yueshan Daluo who sealed himself, the other two Daluo Golden Immortals were captured and taken to the Jade Emperor's Palace, and were rudely refined into Taoist soldiers by the Emperor and Empress.

Like Feng Han's Taoist soldiers and Wu Meng's Taoist soldiers, they are Taoist soldiers that retain their thoughts and emotions, not puppets. This is also thanks to the fact that the formation for refining Taoist soldiers was arranged by the Emperor himself, and the Heavenly Dao clone secretly assisted, otherwise the difficulty of refining two Taoist soldiers in succession would have increased sharply.

After all, the Emperor and Empress are only Taiyi. Even with the help of the formation, they are not strong enough to refine two Daluo Dao soldiers. But if the Heavenly Dao clone uses the power of Heavenly Dao, that is, the power of the Eight Desolate Universe, it will be very easy. After all, although the Eight Desolate Universe is a Daluo-level universe, it actually has a strong origin and its area is comparable to that of the Saint Universe.

After taking down the Yueshan Alliance, Immortal Master Mo Hen took charge temporarily, Immortal Master Hong Luan went to support the Chi Ming Taoist Palace, and Immortal Master Qing Lian went to support the Dragon Clan. This time the three parties took unified action, and because of the proper planning of Heavenly Court, they were the first to take down the target, and both the Dragon Clan and the Chi Ming Taoist Palace were caught in a bitter battle.

Tianzun Castle is a tough nut to crack. The Chi Ming Dao Palace has dispatched five Daluo Jinxian and thirty-three Taiyi this time, but Tianzun Castle is not ready to surrender relying on the power of the immortal treasures. However, he did not directly start a life-and-death battle, obviously knowing that the Saint Universe is behind the Chi Ming Dao Palace.

So, when the Immortal Master Hongluan arrived and appeared on the battlefield, the Lord of Tianzun Fort directly asked for peace talks. He could lead Tianzun Fort to submit to the Daluotian Universe, but he demanded the same treatment as the Chiming Taoist Palace. The entire sect had to move into the Saint Universe and must not be persecuted.

But they are now the losing party, so naturally they cannot set the conditions. After five years of wrangling, especially after Immortal Qianyu was called by Immortal Hongluan, the Lord of Tianzun Fort, who was under increasing pressure, finally chose to lead the entire Tianzun Fort to join the Chi Ming Taoist Palace and belong to the Chi Ming Taoist Palace lineage.

Immortal Venerable Hongluan, Immortal Venerable Qinglian, and Immortal Venerable Qianyu each received several Daluo Immortal Treasures as rewards. Among them, Immortal Venerable Hongluan received a top-grade Daluo Immortal Treasure, and the rest were mid-grade and low-grade Daluo Immortal Treasures. Even if the Lord of Tianzun Castle was a master of refining, top-grade Daluo Immortal Treasures were not so easy to refine. The most important thing was that the materials were rare.

The entire family of Tianzun Castle moved away, taking away all the disciples and treasure resources, but the universe was traded to Hongluan Immortal Venerable using the innate energy. So Qianyu Immortal Venerable temporarily stayed in the Tianzun Universe, assisting the heavenly soldiers and generals of heaven to suppress the major universes and planets, and assisting the expansion of the Tiandao network.

On the other side, the dragon clan was caught in a bitter battle with Huantian Palace.

In addition to the Daluo Golden Immortal who came at the beginning, as well as Long Xin and his group and Daluo combat power, the dragon clan later came three elders and more than thirty Taiyi level real dragons. It turned out that things were a little beyond their imagination. The Huantian Palace was actually very profound. Not to mention the five Daluo Golden Immortals, there were also many hidden Daluo combat powers.

As soon as the dragon clan made a move, it stimulated Huantian Palace to attack with all its strength, and almost caused the death of a group of Taiyi-level real dragons. Fortunately, the three elders on this trip brought the dragon clan's treasures, each carrying two or three pieces. It was these Daluo immortal treasures and rare treasures that successfully allowed the dragon clan to save its face.

As the Yueshan Alliance and Tianzun Fort were successively taken down, the pressure was put on the dragon clan. The Hongluan Immortal Venerable came at the right time. The Qinglian Immortal Venerable who arrived before him was not recognized and trusted by the dragon clan. After all, the Qinglian Immortal Venerable was an alien who achieved enlightenment, and the dragon clan really looked down on him.

With the arrival of Hongluan Immortal, the dragon clan had one more Daluo Jinxian. In addition, Hongluan Immortal used the power of the Heavenly Dao Net to imprison a Daluo Jinxian right from the start. The situation became one-sided. Finally, around 2,080 years after the death of the Eight Desolate Calendar, Huantian Palace declared its surrender.
