Chapter 697: Clown

When the Heavenly Demon entered the battlefield of demons, the immortals were almost defeated. It was too difficult to fight against the Heavenly Demon. Either they had to cultivate their minds to a certain level, or have immortal treasures to defend their spirits, or have magical powers to curb the invasion of the Heavenly Demon or take over their bodies. Otherwise, it would be easy for the Heavenly Demon to seize the opportunity in the battlefield of demons.

Under such circumstances, the danger on the demon battlefield became increasingly intense, which also caused the demon essence to become increasingly scarce, and the price naturally rose. Under such circumstances, the Luofu Sect, which took the lead in stocking up, made a lot of money, and the Luofu Sect would not be short of goods in the short term.

After all, fine wine needs time to be stored and soaked. After the demon essence is soaked in the wine, it also needs time to slowly settle and ferment. The various grades set by the Luofu Sect are not done randomly and it really takes a lot of time, so only fine wines that are less than five hundred years old have been circulated.

Speaking of which, there are still people inside Luofu Sect who are dissatisfied with Jiang Lin. After all, if it is done secretly and not told to the Emperor, Luofu Sect will be able to reap the fat meat. However, the Daluo Golden Immortals all rebuked him harshly. They are very clear-headed. If Luofu Sect really does it secretly, it will not only offend the Emperor, but also all the immortals.

This is not a good thing. By then, Luofu Sect will become the loss of all, and the pressure brought about will be enough for the immortals of Luofu Sect to be unable to bear. On the contrary, it will have no effect on the Daluo Golden Immortals. The Daluo Golden Immortals don't need to speak these truths, and the immortals will understand them soon.

Luotian Immortal Gate.

Sect Master Chen Lei summoned the immortals in the sect. Like the Luofu Sect, there were quite a few Daluo Jinxian present, but they all kept their mouths shut. Even though they held power, they were still dominated by veteran Daluo Jinxians such as Chen Lei, Tiange, and Yan Xun. The relationship within the entire sect was very harmonious.

"Luofu Sect is really lucky," Yan Xun said with emotion, "We have actually explored the method of using demon essence, and even soaked it in wine, but there is no significant result. It has even been determined by some immortals that it will not succeed. I didn't expect them to have such a result."

"Jiang Lin is already a wine immortal. No immortal can compare to him," said Master Chen Lei calmly. "It's normal for him to have such results. I just didn't expect them to resist the temptation and go directly to the Supreme God. In this way, all immortals will be obliged. Even if the wine they sell is expensive and rare, no one will object."

"It's meaningless to say this. We just need to know what to do next." Tiange Immortal Venerable said, "Are you planning to form a team to hunt down demons?"

"The Immortal Venerable is still perceptive," Chen Lei nodded slightly, "We will select Golden Immortals as team members and Taiyi Golden Immortal as the captain to form a team to hunt monsters. The Daluo Golden Immortals cannot enter the monster battlefield, so we can send more Taiyi Golden Immortals to cooperate in hunting monsters. Monster essence is an indispensable resource for us."

The essence of demons can be used to make pills, wine, array formations, talismans, puppets, etc., but the most important thing is to improve one's cultivation. It is especially effective for immortals. As long as Luotian Immortal Sect still wants to cultivate future generations of immortals, it must obtain the essence of demons, and even store them in large quantities, otherwise it will lose at the starting line.

"The Demonic Battlefield is a dangerous place," Zhao Hao hesitated, "Are the disciples willing to go in?"

"The sect will give out valuable treasures for protection," said Master Chen Lei. "Each lineage needs to form one to three hunting teams to kill as many demons as possible. The demon corpses will be sent directly to the sect, and the sect will refine and distribute them uniformly. Not only that, Golden Immortals with good fortune will be given priority, and even required to join."

"Why is this?" Jiang Youning asked.

“Because once a Golden Immortal with the Fruit of Luck dies, he can still reincarnate, but other Golden Immortals cannot.” Tiange Immortal Venerable said, “A Golden Immortal with the Fruit of Luck will rise with the luck of the sect. Once he dies, he can escape from the demon battlefield under the protection of the sect’s luck.”

"Not only that," You Daozun said, "I'm afraid it also means to help the sect avoid disaster?"

"Dao Zun said it well," Sect Master Chen Lei nodded slightly, "When the immortals killed the calamity, a group of celestial immortals and golden immortals sacrificed themselves for the sect. Later, they were protected by the sect's luck and reincarnated, and some even returned to the sect. As a result, after the immortals killed the calamity, many celestial immortals and golden immortals took the initiative to apply."

After tens of thousands of years of accumulation and the killing of immortals, the Luotian Immortal Sect accumulated disasters again. Although it did not cause a disaster, it actually attracted disasters to the sect and even brought disasters into themselves. It was nothing more than their luck and status that protected them and allowed them to avoid the impact of the disasters.

If they continue, their only outcome will be a catastrophe, and even their luck and status will not be able to cover it. It would be better to directly detonate the catastrophe, but the conditions for this are not available in the current star field. The only way is to go to the demon battlefield, contribute to the sect, and get the credit for hunting demons, and even get the essence of demons when they return in reincarnation.

After Chen Lei's explanation, all the immortals understood and approved of this arrangement. All the Golden Immortals represented their own lineages and began to make secret preparations. Of course, the meeting did not end there. Forming a team to hunt demons and dispatching Golden Immortals with good fortune was only the first item.

"Next, I would like to propose the election of a new headmaster," Chen Lei said, "I have been the headmaster for more than 100,000 years. It is time to step down and let someone more capable take over."

"I don't agree." Tiange Immortal Venerable said directly.

"I don't agree either." Yan Xun frowned and said, "Although the Eight Desolate Holy Land has calmed down, it is not without challenges. Instead, it needs an experienced headmaster. You are the first headmaster with more than 100,000 years of history. Why do you want to step down and let others take over?"

"No one in the sect thinks that you are unqualified, on the contrary, everyone recognizes you." Zhao Hao disagreed, "I think this is out of the question."

"That's right," Jiang Youning nodded, "A stable sect will have great benefits, and a stable sect depends on the unchanged position of the headmaster."

"Why does the master want to abdicate?" You Daozun was a little confused.

"It's too stressful to stay in this position, and now the Eight Desolate Holy Land is generally peaceful, so we can train new people." Master Chen Lei said.

“Let’s wait a million years before we talk about this!” Tiange Immortal Venerable shook his head and said, “Although the headmaster doesn’t need to be very powerful, given the current situation, only a Daluo Jinxian can be the headmaster. If you retreat like this, you won’t find anyone to support you, so don’t even think about it.”

Master Chen Lei showed a helpless look, he really wanted to retire. Over such a long time, he had done everything he should have done and trained all the people he should have trained, but he himself did not have a good rest or retreat. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to select new people, but he did not expect it to be so difficult.

Because of everyone's opposition, Master Chen Lei ultimately failed to achieve his goal, and the third thing was left unresolved.

After 188,000 years in the Eight Desolations, the heat on the demon battlefield finally subsided a little. The Heavenly Court strengthened its management of the immortals and imposed restrictions on immortal dust and demon essence. After the strengthened management, the situation improved a lot, but the Luofu Sect's wine also became famous and spread to other saint universes through the Eight Desolations.

In fact, the Golden Immortal of Daluo can influence time and space. When Jiang Lin brews wine, he will also use his magical power of time to make the wine in a short period of time seem like ten thousand years have passed. In this case, it is hard to imagine that the quality of the wine is bad. Moreover, the wine talismans he refines are no longer the same as before. After becoming Daluo, they have been further improved.

In the past, the Wine Talisman Pill was only refined when he was a cultivator. Later, when he became a Heavenly Immortal, a Golden Immortal, and Taiyi, Jiang Lin improved it step by step. When he reached the Golden Immortal of Daluo, he had already touched the law of wine. The Wine Talisman Pill he refined reached perfection, and at least no one in the entire Eight Desolate Holy Land could match him.

Even women like Su Qinghuang, who wanted to soak in the holy demonic energy, had to secretly find Jiang Lin to obtain the Wine Talisman Pill. Fortunately, although Wangyue Tower was handed over to the Emperor, all the people used were Su Qinghuang's. The Xingxiu Emperor did not make any adjustments to them, and some other materials could be taken directly.

After 190,000 years in the Eight Wastelands, Chen Jingzhai quietly came out of seclusion.

Su Qinghuang's holy weapon and Tu Ruoyan's calamity weapon were all refined. The two women were overjoyed and pulled Chen Jingzhai to take a hundred years off together. They directly missed the grand court meeting in Heaven. At the 19th grand court meeting, Heaven was stable and they went straight to the procedure. All parties raised issues and then solved them collectively.

If the problem cannot be solved, it will be temporarily postponed until the small court meeting. The biggest problem of this big court meeting is actually the affairs of mortals. There are immortals in heaven who do not want mortals to become immortals. They want to cut off the immortal inheritance of the mortal world and do not allow the immortal Taoist sects to preach.

However, there is another group of immortals who hope that the academy will step in to teach qualified mortals to practice and guide them to ascend. There is also a third group of immortals who hope to let nature take its course. Each side has its own reasons and excuses, and the biggest reason and excuse is that the star fields in the Eight Desolate Holy Land are almost all filled.

There are too many immortals, and there are some who ascend to heaven almost every year. All immortals are long-lived, and only in the battlefield of demons do immortals die. As the number of immortals increases, the immortals estimate that the number of immortals in the Eight Desolate Holy Land will increase dramatically in the future, which has caused panic among some immortals.

Concerning this issue, some immortals wished to stop ascension, while others wished to restrict the immortal sects. The debate was very intense, with many immortals getting red in the face. Even the Golden Immortal could not help but intervene, because this involved too many things.

The Star Emperor did not postpone the question, and then threw out the number of immortals who died every year in the Eight Desolate Holy Land and the number of people who ascended to become immortals. Both numbers were huge. The fallen immortals were not only the losses in the demon battlefield as everyone objectively thought, in fact, immortals fell in all major star fields.

Some were caught for committing crimes, and some were executed for violating the laws of heaven.

Some people go astray in their practice and become possessed, while others are unable to survive the five signs of decay.

Some people suffer from sudden disasters due to their lack of virtue, and some die in assassinations.

Some fell in a place of chance, while others disappeared without a trace in secret.

There is no pattern to the fall of immortals, and the number is much higher than imagined. Many immortals fall every year. To be honest, if it weren't for the reform of the underworld, I'm afraid the pressure on the underworld would be very great. After all, the underworld faces not only immortals, but also all living beings.

At the grand court meeting, Emperor Xingxiu slapped the faces of many immortals who were worrying about the future with data. The number of immortals who died and the number of those who ascended to become immortals were not very different. In fact, they maintained a relative balance and stability. Naturally, there was no need to do anything to cut off their ascension.

"This is very wrong," Master Ziyun took the initiative to contact Tiange Immortal Venerable. The two have been in contact since they started planning the Yueshan Alliance. Especially after the rise of the Star God Sect, both parties represented by Master Ziyun and Tiange Immortal Venerable have cooperation demands. "What have you found?"

"There are immortals who want to attack mortals," Tiange Immortal Venerable said calmly through the Skynet, "They are not immortals from the Eight Desolate Universe, but those from outside. They have not been sorted out, and many immortals have slipped through the net. Many of them are involved with mortals."

"How bold!" Master Ziyun snorted, "They even dare to plot against us?"

"Leave this matter to the Emperor," said Tiange Immortal Venerable. "The Emperor will not allow immortals to attack mortals. This is a taboo. These people are still evil and those who need to be cleared out must be cleared out. If we participate too much, we will be easily targeted. In the future, we just need to continue to have strict standards for recruiting disciples."

Master Ziyun nodded secretly. Ever since she was promoted to the Golden Immortal of Daluo, she has been working hard for the Lingyun Immortal Sect. In fact, she was almost rejected by the Lingyun Immortal Sect. At the critical moment, Fairy Yunxi spoke up and made Master Ziyun understand. Only then did she have the opportunity to continue working hard for the sect.

Although she is paranoid, her feelings towards the sect are sincere. Some immortals are plotting against her and the sect, which has touched her bottom line. If it were in the past, she would definitely fight with all her strength, but now she needs to see the emperor's face. If the emperor kills them all, she doesn't mind giving him a push.

After the grand court meeting, the matter could no longer be concealed.

The Emperor quickly dispatched the Twelve Divine Generals and the Heavenly Army of Justice led by Chen Yurong to capture more than 1,200 immortals, including more than 6,000 from immortal sects and family forces. The Emperor of Stars demonstrated his attitude and determination through his actions, and also made the immortals once again want to stay away from mortals.

The result of this investigation, after one hundred and twenty years, was that this group of immortals were indeed immortals from an alien universe. After the appearance of the star field, these immortal forces that originally did not belong to the Eight Desolate Universe connected with each other and had been hiding and waiting for an opportunity. Unfortunately, the Eight Desolate Holy Land was as stable as Mount Tai and they had no chance at all.

They saw hope in mortals. Too many mortals were killed and injured, sins were rampant, and disasters naturally gathered. They wanted to kill all mortals and even ordinary creatures to trigger disasters. After all, it had been tens of thousands of years since the immortals killed the disaster, so it was not impossible.

But they miscalculated a little, that is, the Eight Desolate Holy Land is now in the Star Domain Era. Even if all the mortal holy spirits in the entire star domain are killed, there are still thousands of star domains that cannot trigger disasters. At most, they are just jumping clowns, providing the Star Emperor with an opportunity to establish his authority.
