Chapter 179 Xun Yuan Tianjun is just a stupid dog.
The Corpse-Slaying Ceremony has attracted worldwide attention.
The primordial forbidden beings were incredibly powerful, practically invincible. Even during their years of fleeing the Immortal Realm, they still occupied countless spiritual mountains and mineral veins, making them forbidden lands that no mortal could set foot in.
But now, the Primordial Demon Ape Clan has just returned. After signing the alienation alliance with the human race, they were attacked, their ancestral land was destroyed, their clan leader was abducted and beheaded, and now they are to be mutilated in front of the whole world.
Humane Mountain.
This famous mountain is of great significance to the human race. In ancient times, when the human race emerged from ignorance and weakness, they lit a fire on this mountain to advocate the establishment of humanity and to end the practice of feeding on the blood of all races.
The fact that the mysterious person who attacked the Primordial Demon Ape clan chose this location for the Corpse Slaughtering Ceremony clearly has special significance.
"Who exactly is this person? Is there still such a Celestial Venerable-level existence in the Celestial Court?"
"Mount Humanity, the human race is once again facing such a great calamity. Can this mountain help the human race choose the right path?"
"A bloody battle is inevitable today!"
There are three magnificent immortal cities surrounding Mount Rendao, but in the past few days, they have all been overcrowded with people, as countless forces have sent important figures to witness the ceremony.
"The people of the Primordial Demon Ape Clan have arrived!"
In the city of Renyan, a group of people entered the city and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Great Sage Yuanqi!"
"With a Great Sage-level figure leading the army, and at least three Immortal Saints following behind, this time, the Primordial Demon Ape Clan is serious."
"Heh, you think that's all? If I'm not mistaken, there are definitely other Great Sages, or even Immortal Venerables, following behind in secret!"
The Primordial Demon Ape Clan, high and mighty, is now being humiliated in this way; they will absolutely fight to the death.
"No force is allowed to go to Mount Humanity, or face death!"
Upon entering the city, the Primordial Demon Ape Clan had already issued orders that spread throughout the surrounding immortal cities.
"What does the Primordial Demon Ape clan mean by this? What gives them the right to command us?"
"They won't let us attend the ceremony? That's outrageous!"
"That's right, we are not vassals of the Primordial Demon Ape clan!"
Many people are angry.
But on that very day, in a restaurant, hundreds of cultivators were discussing the matter when suddenly Yuan Jiu of the Primordial Demon Ape Clan arrived with his men and began a massacre!
With hundreds of people killed or injured, the various factions in the city were all taken aback.
Subsequently, an old immortal lord in the Celestial Court also stepped forward and openly issued a call to action:
"It is advisable not to discuss the Corpse-Slaughtering Ceremony casually, as it would undermine the unity between the human race and the Primordial Demon Ape race! Furthermore, it is not advisable to attend the ceremony. We should respect the deceased. Clan Chief Yuan Shentong is dead, and to openly slaughter a corpse is barbaric and cruel!"
Upon hearing this, many forces that had been enraged by the Primordial Demon Ape Clan instantly calmed down, sensing the unusual implications behind it.
Respect for the deceased and such are just rhetoric. The most important thing is that this old immortal lord and Xun Yuan Tianjun have a very close relationship. His meaning also signifies the inclination of the Celestial Court!
This is the Celestial Court using the old immortal lord to relay a message.
This is the shrewdness of Xun Yuan Tianjun. Even if he really wanted to do something, he wouldn't directly use the Celestial Court or his own name to do it. Instead, he would use these flesh trumpets.
Everyone could understand his meaning at a glance, but if something really went wrong and things got out of hand, he and the Celestial Court could also walk away unscathed and sever all ties!
"The Celestial Court is forcing the world to take a stand. If people still insist on watching the corpse slaughter at this time, they will be standing against the Primordial Demon Ape and the Celestial Court!"
"Yes, the debate between those who advocate peace and those who advocate war is now open, and from now on, the outcome will be clear."
"That mysterious expert who secretly intervened, even if he is powerful, can he stand against the Primordial Demon Ape and the Celestial Court? I think it's difficult!"
Many people discussed it and saw through the Celestial Court's intentions.
For a time, many powerful forces closed their doors and recalled all their disciples who were away, in order to avoid causing trouble.
Silence!
Clearly, both the Primordial Demon Ape Clan and the Celestial Court are truly behemoths, high above all others. Even if some people are dissatisfied with their domineering behavior, they dare not express it directly now.
"Damn it, a forbidden being can shut us in and prevent us from going out with just a word? They even openly killed so many of our human race members in the city, and they just let it go like this?"
"Have we returned to the ancient times, to a weak era when we were enslaved by all races and fed on their blood? So many years have passed, and all the blood of so many great sages and saints of humanity has been wasted in vain?"
"Let's keep quiet... If the Primordial Demon Ape clan hears us, we'll be dead again!"
"Damn it, I really hope that expert can severely dampen the arrogance of the Primordial Demon Ape Clan. Also, the Celestial Court is too corrupt. They are obsequious to foreign races like the Primordial Forbidden Beings, but cruelly suppress our fellow humans. Damn it, the biggest traitors are those in power!"
In the dark alleys and private gatherings, many human cultivators were indignant about this.
Whether to advocate peace or war, many lower-level cultivators don't actually have their own opinions; they are simply being guided by their superiors. However, the ferocity of the Primordial Demon Ape Clan has aroused the indignation of many people.
……
now.
"Sect Leader Luo Yan, whether you advocate war or peace, the ultimate goal is to ensure the continuation of the human race."
Inside a stone hall in the city of Renyan, Xun Yuan Tianjun looked at Luo Yan, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect, and smiled slightly.
Upon arriving in Renyan City, he immediately sent people to invite Luo Yan and Lin Ruofeng separately.
Among the major forces in the world today, only the Sun Moon Sect and the Sword Sect are the most aggressive in advocating war. Moreover, they have already fought against the Gray Mist and are implicitly regarded as leaders among the pro-war faction.
His strategy was to divide and persuade these two forces to surrender.
First, they cooperated with the Primordial Demon Ape Clan to express the Celestial Court's stance, intimidate the people of the world, and create high pressure. At the same time, they caused the leaders of the pro-war faction to turn against them on the battlefield. Finally, during the Corpse Slaughtering Assembly, the Celestial Court joined forces with the Primordial Demon Ape Clan to kill that mysterious Celestial Venerable.
One move leads to another; it's a series of coordinated actions.
If this battle is successful, the overall situation of peace and alienation will surely be resolved!
However, Lin Ruofeng of the Sword Sect directly kicked the people he sent out the door without even seeing them. Therefore, when he saw the Sect Leader Luo Yan arrive, he focused his attention on what was behind the Sect Leader Luo Yan.
"But the path of alienation is a dead end."
The leader of the Luoyan Sect spoke calmly: "The gray mist is to humans what the ocean is to eagles, or the desert is to fish and shrimp. Eagles drown when they enter the sea, and fish and shrimp wither and die in drought. Throughout history, I have never seen anyone who has introduced the gray mist into their body and yet remained unharmed and still retained their humanity."
Xun Yuan Tianjun shook his head: "Master, you are mistaken!"
“This time is different. To be honest, Master, my master has been studying the gray fog for many years and has finally found some possibilities.”
"This transformation is absolutely not a surrender, but rather a great and courageous attempt. If successful, it will create eternity for the human race!"
"I can assure the leader that I will reserve a spot for you, so that the Sun Moon Sect may survive the gray fog!"
Seeing that the leader of the Luoyan Sect seemed to be deep in thought, he couldn't help but ask, "Sect Leader, what about the Mingzun? What about the other saints back then? They all died in battle!"
"Even if you don't think of yourself, you should at least think of the continuation of the Sun Moon Sect's lineage!"
The leader of the Luo Yan sect remained silent for a long, long time before saying, "Let me add one more condition."
Xun Yuan Tianjun's eyes lit up: "Please speak, Master!"
"Our sect intends to form a marriage alliance with the True Dragon Clan, so that the dragon princes of the True Dragon Clan can serve as protectors of our sect!"
To form a marriage alliance with the True Dragon Clan!
Upon hearing this, Xun Yuan Tianjun was startled; the Luo Yan Sect Leader's appetite was truly enormous!
The True Dragon Clan is not comparable to the Primordial Demon Ape Clan or the Nine-Headed Heavenly Lion Clan. They are the true core taboo, with powerful bloodlines. Only the Phoenix can be compared with them. Even pure-blooded clans such as the White Tiger and the Golden-Winged Roc are vaguely weaker than the True Dragon and the Phoenix.
Therefore, the benefits of a marriage alliance with the True Dragon Clan are too great.
Over the years, countless Daoist sects and holy lands have secretly contacted him, hoping to secure the opportunity to form a marriage alliance with the True Dragon Clan!
This is also one of the best resources he has.
He was weighing the pros and cons of giving up the opportunity for a marriage alliance with the True Dragon Clan in exchange for the defection of the Sun Moon Sect.
"The Heavenly Emperor need not be troubled,"
The leader of the Luo Yan sect then spoke up, saying calmly, "Please tell the True Dragon Clan that the Sun Moon Sect has resurrected a first Heavenly Maiden."
"This first celestial maiden will not disgrace the prestige of the True Dragon Clan."
However, Xun Yuan Tianjun's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "The First Heavenly Maiden?!"
"Are you talking about the first generation, born at the same time as the primordial light? Aren't those people all dead long ago? How could that be..."
The leader of the Luo Yan sect simply asked in return, "Besides those beings, are there any other beings in this world who can be called the first generation?"
……
Time's up!
Today is the day of the Humanity Mountain Corpse Slaughtering Ceremony.
The city was silent, with many factions staying indoors, but at the same time, they were all watching the impending storm closely.
"Mount Humanity is the land of humans, why can't we go there?"
"Yes, does the Celestial Court really intend to aid and abet evil?"
At this moment, a group of people appeared, led by none other than Lin Ruofeng of the Sword Sect.
Beside him, the Sword Saint of the Ocean personally stood guard, holding a rusty old iron sword, which was a Great Saint Heavenly Weapon!
Besides the Sword Sect, many other major war factions followed suit, with a considerable number of troops involved. Even one or two old holy lands participated.
Even at this critical juncture, they were still able to stand tall and, regardless of everything, insist on leaving the city to attend the ceremony!
"Please return, everyone. The Heavenly Lord has decreed that a great battle may break out at Humanity Mountain today. For everyone's safety, no one is allowed to leave the city!"
An old immortal saint from the Celestial Court appeared and blocked their way.
"What does it mean?"
"If you want to become alienated, then go down the path of alienation. Why are you blocking our way?"
"Doesn't the Celestial Court think this is going a bit too far?"
Lin Ruofeng and the others all spoke up, their faces filled with anger.
The atmosphere between the two sides was tense and confrontational.
"The Heavenly Emperor has decreed that all of you are invited to ascend the city wall to witness the ceremony."
At that moment, another shout rang out.
Upon hearing this, the old immortal saint responsible for blocking the pro-war faction frowned, and Lin Ruofeng and the others were also extremely suspicious. What did Xun Yuan Tianjun mean by this?
Not only Lin Ruofeng and other pro-war factions, but also the major forces that had been staying at home in the city were invited out to go to the city walls of the three immortal cities to look out at the Human Dao Mountain located in the center of the three cities.
The three immortal cities are all nearly ten thousand miles away from Mount Rendao, but those who came today are all figures from various major forces, so they naturally have the means to perceive everything that is happening there.
Everyone has arrived.
"This is an act of murder in protest!"
Someone whispered, "Mount Rendao must already be under a tight net. There might even be more than one Immortal Venerable here. As soon as that mysterious expert arrives, he will definitely be ambushed and killed!"
"Indeed, that expert wanted to take this opportunity to kill the corpse of the Abyss Divine Power to intimidate the world, but the Celestial Court and the Primordial Demon Ape Clan wanted to kill him in order to extinguish the world's desire for war."
