Chapter 680: Fighting Star Region

Generally speaking, to be promoted to the Saint Realm, a Golden Immortal only needs to comprehend the laws and master the power of the laws. However, this is not difficult for the Lord of the Universe. The Emperor's Heavenly Dao clone can master many laws. Even if he is not proficient in them and has only gained entry, he can be promoted to the Saint Realm.

But Chen Jingzhai wanted to achieve the goal in one step and lay a better foundation. He had to comprehend all the laws, reach a certain level, and comprehend the laws of the world. This would not be possible in a short period of time. At a normal pace, it would be impossible to achieve the goal even in 20,000 or 30,000 years.

But who makes the Eight Desolate Universe so special? By accommodating other universes, the Eight Desolate Universe directly grows, and the growing Eight Desolate Universe naturally feeds back to Chen Jingzhai, which causes Chen Jingzhai to quickly comprehend and jump out. Therefore, even if there is only 20,000 or 30,000 years, unexpected results can be achieved.

Knowing that the more universes the Eight Desolations Universe accommodated, the more benefits it would bring to the Emperor, the Emperor and Empress became impatient. However, the final say on matters such as accommodating universes lay with the Avatar of Heaven. Only if the Avatar of Heaven deems it possible, could they take in a universe. It would be of no use even if the Emperor and Empress were anxious.

Fortunately, Tu Ruoyan woke up and broke through to the Golden Immortal level, which brought great expectations to the emperor, empress and other people in heaven. The pressure on everyone seemed to be much less, because Tu Ruoyan said that the emperor and empress could become saints at any time, which meant that becoming a saint was not a difficult thing.

After being unable to decide on the matter of taking in the universe, the Emperor and Empress changed their attitudes and demanded that the Heavenly Concubines and Fairy Concubines practice hard. They must improve their cultivation and even their magical powers before the Emperor and Empress came out of seclusion. Those women without status also had to begin to prepare actively.

Related news also spread quickly in secret.

In the Guanglong Universe, on a certain planet.

Master Ziyun started a video call and chatted with representatives from the other three immortal sects, during which he talked about this matter.

"Is this just a trick to confuse people?" asked a representative from the immortal sect.

"Do you think it's necessary?" Master Ziyun asked calmly, "The Heavenly Court is becoming more and more powerful now. There is a Golden Immortal in charge of each star field. A large number of universes have been taken in. The two saints did not take any action to stop it. Do you think such a Heavenly Court still needs to release false news?"

"What should we do?" asked the representative of Lieyang Immortal Sect.

"The Emperor is the Lord of the Universe. We can't hide anything from him no matter what we do," said Master Ziyun with a bitter face. "If we want to live well in the Heavenly Court, or even continue to develop the Taoist sect, we must do something. I plan to worship the Emperor in Lingyun Xianmen and burn incense and worship him day and night."

"You're... a bit too much, aren't you?" Another immortal sect representative said with a bad look on his face, "Doesn't this mean that everyone will surrender?"

"To submit to the Emperor, we must also get his approval," Master Ziyun snorted, "If I can get the Emperor's approval, let alone something like this, I would be willing to sacrifice my entire sect. The Emperor is not the Empress, and if he kills decisively, we will inevitably be eliminated."

"Besides this method, are there any other methods?" asked the representative of Lieyang Immortal Sect.

"What do you think the Emperor needs from us?" Master Ziyun said calmly, "The entire Eight Desolate Universe belongs to the Emperor, and we all belong to the Eight Desolate Universe. In the final analysis, it is we who beg the Emperor, not the Emperor begging us. So let it be! In the future, our Lingyun Immortal Sect will no longer compete with the top immortal sects and Taoist sects."

"What about us?" Some representatives from the Immortal Sect were dissatisfied.

"That's what I want to say," Master Ziyun said solemnly, "Our relationship ends here!"

"What?" The representatives of the other three companies were all shocked and then very dissatisfied.

"At most, we can maintain a cooperative relationship in the Tianqi Star Region and jointly fight against Luotian Xianmen and Luofu Sect," Master Ziyun said calmly, "No matter what you think, I have made a decision now. You'd better make up for the past as soon as possible, otherwise you will suffer sooner or later."

She ended the video after she finished speaking.

She was very uneasy in her heart. She would certainly not do this if it was not necessary, but she could not gamble and could only cut her losses in advance. The various opportunities she had previously set seemed meaningless and ridiculous when the Emperor was about to come out of seclusion and even had the possibility of becoming a saint.

This made Master Ziyun understand that strength is the most important thing at all times, and without strength all calculations and plans are nothing. She finally began to gather her mind, and would slowly return to the life of the sect, and in the future train new members and develop the sect.

It doesn't matter whether the emperor and empress entrust her with important tasks or ignore her in the future. At least now the Lingyun Immortal Sect has territories in the Tianqi Star Field and the Bahuang Star Field, and there are three galaxies. Slowly developing the sect is also a way to become stronger, but it will take a longer time.

Moreover, she was not lying. She was indeed prepared to please the Emperor with all her heart and soul and submit to him, but her methods were more extreme. Not only would she erect statues of the gods in the sect and burn incense to worship them, she would also establish a secret branch of the sect, remain chaste for the Emperor and wait for his favor.

Even the Emperor, Empress and Fairy Concubine Yunxi were not aware of this matter, but if the Emperor noticed the incense of Lingyun Fairy Sect and responded, he would naturally know. Master Ziyun deeply understood that the best means for women, including female fairies, is to be themselves. She did not ask for fame and only hoped to have a place on the Emperor's side.

After 47,500 years of the Eight Desolations Calendar, Tu Ruoyan's Heavenly Concubine's clone officially took charge of the Wan Yao Star Domain. In the same year, the Qianyu Star Domain established by the Heavenly Court was officially completed. Qianyu Immortal Venerable took charge of the Qianyu Star Domain and reached a comprehensive cooperation with the Luofu Sect. The Luofu Sect moved into one of the star systems to help rebuild the Qianyu Immortal Sect.

Qianyu Xianmen began to act as the agent for Luofu Sect's warships. Luofu Sect specially built a warship with Qianyu Xianmen's characteristics, which aroused considerable purchasing enthusiasm. Although it was not made public, everyone knew that Qianyu Xianmen and Luofu Sect had reached an alliance, just like Lingyun Xianmen and Lieyang Xianmen.

As soon as such an alliance appeared, the pressure on Luotian Immortal Sect increased. After all, Luotian Immortal Sect was the only one in power, with Hongluan Immortal Venerable and enough star territory. It could have crushed Luofu Sect. But now that Qianyu Immortal Sect and Luofu Sect were tied together, Luotian Immortal Sect could no longer ignore it.

However, the Luotian Immortal Sect did not make any big moves, which was similar to what Master Ziyun and others thought. They did not want to cause any trouble before the Emperor came out of seclusion. So even if they had various ideas, everyone still naturally restrained themselves and served the public. It was just that the frequency of competition on the Skynet battle platform was a little higher.

During the 47,700 years of the Eight Wastelands, the Heavenly Court built the Arena Star Field with the Starry Sky Arena as the core. In this star field, every planet is an arena, and the immortals can fight and compete freely. Certain planets allow life-and-death battles, and some galaxies have demons.

The emergence of this expanded arena, that is, the Arena Star Domain, was beyond everyone's imagination. Almost every planet had different rules. There were no immortals stationed there, and no warships roaming around. Immortals could go there freely, and opponents were randomly assigned by Skynet, and of course they could also refuse.

The fighting rules on some planets are very normal, while the rules on some other planets are very strange. On one planet, the fighting rules are compared by the number of hairs, on another planet the fighting rules are compared by the amount of blood, and there are even those that compare the number of farts, or the speed of backward flying, etc. The various events are varied and very strange.

But it was precisely because of such bizarre fights that it attracted the attention of many immortals. Many immortals even took the initiative to look for them, wanting to fight with them. After all, it was not easy to fight in the Eight Desolate Universe, so of course they wanted to have fun. However, no matter how many fights there were, they had to pay for each one.

The Heavenly Court stipulates that the paid items for each planet are different. The more the gladiatorial items or planets involve life and death, the higher the fees. Therefore, life and death battles are rarely started by immortals. On the contrary, those against demons are very attractive. On the Heavenly Internet, every battle is handled semi-publicly.

Some undisclosed live broadcasts or videos need to be purchased to watch. The Heavenly Court has really found a way to make money. It made a fortune in the first ten years alone. The Starry Sky Arena, which had already declined, regained its vitality after becoming a star field.

After 48,000 years in the Eight Wildernesses, a small court meeting was held in Heaven.

In addition to welcoming Tu Ruoyan and formally conferring the title of Immortal Lord on her, the Heavenly Court also announced a brand new star domain, which is the Demon Star Domain built with the demon world as its center. However, due to protests from the demon clan, it was eventually renamed the Heavenly Demon Star Domain, which also made Jie Daluo very unhappy.

Today's Ji'e Daluo has officially broken through to the Daluo Xuanxian, but it is almost impossible for him to be promoted to the Daluo Jinxian, unless the Emperor breaks through to the Saint realm and personally guides him. Otherwise, Daluo Xuanxian is the ceiling of Ji'e Daluo. What Ji'e Daluo cares about is not his own strength but the name of the star field.

After all, he was the first demon in the Eight Desolate Universe and the ruler of the demon world. Why should he change his name just because he wanted to? However, his objection was ineffective. The empress took into account the existence of Tu Ruoyan and the Ten Thousand Demons Star Domain and made a direct decision. The Super Evil Daluo finally accepted it helplessly.

After the small court meeting ended, the Heavenly Court also established the Natural Disaster Star Domain, which was not far from the Heavenly Demon Star Domain and was ruled by the Natural Disaster Demon God. Some immortals who practiced the way of natural disasters went to the Natural Disaster Star Domain to practice. Although it was not as lively as other star domains and was even a bit quiet, the emergence of the Natural Disaster Star Domain was also of great significance.

Up to now, there are more than twenty star fields of various sizes. At the small court meeting, the emperor and empress continued to increase the number of star fields, proposing that before the fifth grand court meeting, there should be at least thirty-six star fields, which means that millions of Golden Immortal-level universes will be merged together.

The Eight Desolations lasted for 48,100 years.

Because Zhao Qinghe has a very leisurely time and his original body has gone to the Hongluan Star Region, his clone rarely leaves the Eight Desolate Heavens. This is mainly because Ao Zhen has been in the Eight Desolate Heavens, in charge of the dragon clan's business. Zhao Qinghe will drink and chat with Ao Zhen here and communicate with each other. After so many years, they get along very happily with each other.

"Brother Ao, you never come to me for no reason. If you have anything to say, just speak up directly." Zhao Qinghe said with a smile as he looked at the wine gourd that Ao Zhen was holding.

"Then I won't be so hypocritical," Ao Zhen said as he poured wine. "I heard that the power system of the Heavenly Court is ingenious, and it has opened up the reincarnation underworld, which allows people to reincarnate. Brother, do you think our dragon race can enter the Heavenly Court and reincarnate after death?"

"I'm afraid not," Zhao Qinghe shook his head. "We, the Luofu Sect, have had a long-standing friendship with the Samsara Underworld, so we have answers to your questions. Unless the Dragon Clan submits to the Heavenly Court and becomes a member of the Heavenly Court's Dragon Clan, they will then enjoy the benefits of Samsara. Otherwise, they will not."

He was not surprised that the information about the Samsara Underworld had leaked out, because this itself was one of the magic weapons to attract immortals. It was normal for the dragon clan to be able to find out, and it would be strange if they didn't. After the dragon clan cooperated with the Heavenly Court, they strengthened the intelligence system of the universe, and many immortals defected to the dragon clan.

"Can't you give me a chance?" Ao Zhen asked with a bad look.

"This is determined by the Emperor, or the Lord of the Universe as you call him. What can we do?" Zhao Qinghe shook his head. "Unless you join the Heavenly Court, there is no other way. But I can guarantee that after joining the Heavenly Court, as long as you have merits, you can be reincarnated."

Next, he explained to Ao Zhen what reincarnation was, and gave examples, including the deeds of Mei Xianren, including her return and cultivation to the level of Taiyi Shenmo. Of course, because she was the Heavenly Concubine, Zhao Qinghe did not point it out and did not mention her name.

After hearing this, Ao Zhen's expression changed, and then he spoke slowly. It turned out that the old dragon in the clan was nearing the end of his life and was about to die. This was an old dragon in their lineage, and according to its strength, it was impossible for it to die like this, but there was no way, because this old dragon had used too many forbidden techniques when he was young.

These forbidden techniques all come at a terrible cost of lifespan. Once the cost is too high, it is naturally out of control. Only if one can break through to the Golden Immortal stage can one survive. However, it is obvious that this old dragon failed to break through to the Golden Immortal stage. The extremely strong backlash means that the old dragon will not live long.

The Taiyi Golden Immortal has not transcended the long river of time and fate, and naturally has a lifespan limit. It’s just that his lifespan is too long for ordinary Golden Immortals to match. The old dragon of the dragon clan uses the forbidden techniques as ordinary magical powers, and the loss exceeds the growth, so naturally there is a crisis.

"You can try to get the Dragon Clan to come forward and make the deal directly." Zhao Qinghe said, "If the Heavenly Court agrees to the deal, then there will be no problem."

"If he is reincarnated, will Uncle Long still be Uncle Long?" Ao Zhen asked.

"Definitely not at the beginning. It depends on whether he can recover his memory," Zhao Qinghe shook his head and explained, "If he can't recover his memory, he will have to stay in our heaven forever, and if he can't become an immortal, he will have to reincarnate continuously."

"I'll give it a try." Ao Zhen had no other choice. No matter what the result was, he had to give it a try.

Zhao Qinghe didn't say much, just kept toasting. He had said what he could say and reminded people of what he shouldn't say. The future outcome seemed to have been predetermined. He had already known through Long Xin that this old dragon took good care of Ao Zhen, so it was understandable that Ao Zhen was so anxious and angry.
