Chapter 595: Chapter 22 The Incarnation of the Taoist Lord
The number one defense post was located in the capital of Datong, Zhongzhou.
Originally, the strength of the number one defense post was almost the same as that of other places, but as the cross-realm passages were restored, its power became extremely formidable.
In ten years’ time, the situation had become worse than imagined.
Focusing his power was already the best choice.
Huangtian hadn’t closed his eyes in sleep or sat down to rest in ten years.
Over the past decade, his spirit had been highly concentrated, not daring to slacken in the slightest because he was very clear that once there was any relaxation, what lay in wait for Datong might be destruction.
Even now, with this situation, regardless of his vigilance, the outcome would likely be the same.
The contingency plan prepared by the master couldn’t allow him to face three Eighth Realm powerhouses at the same time, especially when one of them was at the pinnacle of the Eighth Realm.
They hadn’t made their move, just toying with their prey.
Huangtian didn’t care.
Being played suited him fine; the more he could delay, the greater the hope.
Of course, he was well aware that over the years, the people from Chaotic Realm had grown increasingly impatient!
“Master, when will you return…”
His heart was a whirl of thoughts when he sensed a familiar presence.
“Sky Dragon True Monarch, here you are again!”
Sky Dragon True Monarch, whom he had threatened and stopped ten years ago; perhaps it was because of those events that Sky Dragon True Monarch always came to provoke him.
“Huangtian, are you still struggling? We all understand your thoughts; you are just waiting for your master, aren’t you still dreaming?” Sky Dragon True Monarch thought Huangtian was naive.
Don’t you understand the might of the Ninth Realm by now?
“You needn’t worry about me!” Huangtian dismissed the concern outright.
“Heh, you might have pretended to be mad ten years ago, but now, you’ve truly gone completely insane!” Ten years of immense pressure, even those with Seventh Realm strength might not be able to withstand it.
In Sky Dragon True Monarch’s opinion, whether it was pretense before, now it was certainly real.
Huangtian said nothing; he himself didn’t know his own condition.
Because he was also not clear whether he persistently regarded his master as a consolation.
“We’ve long given you another choice, lead a portion of the people to submit to us, hand over the complete space transmission technology and energy technology, and you can still live.”
Apart from provoking Huangtian, this was also Sky Dragon True Monarch’s purpose for coming.
And this purpose was indeed the most important one.
Space Transmission!
Their world had it too, but it was nowhere near as convenient as Datong’s.
The talent for space technology, their world had once possessed it, but due to various accidents, they perished.
Datong’s transmission technology might not seem very powerful, but its potential was clear to all True Monarchs.
As for energy technology.
What they wanted was not the technology itself, but the person who had developed it; they suspected that this person was the “Saint” who had once caught their attention.
Such a person, even a Taoist monarch would highly value.
They knew his name was Li Xueqian, but couldn’t find his location.
So they came to inquire of Huangtian.
Sadly, they never received an answer.
“Lead a portion of the people to survive?”
Sky Dragon True Monarch brightened up, thinking that Huangtian seemed somewhat shaken and that his own persuasion was taking effect.
“Yes, we don’t necessarily want to pursue an extermination; top talents are scarce in any world.” This statement, for once, wasn’t bluster; talents of “Saint” level were precious to any world, and if the person could be found, a Taoist monarch wouldn’t mind getting involved personally to save them.
As for the others, of course, it was just lip service.
The hatred from Destroying Realm, nobody knew when it might erupt.
This world had many people with potential.
Just in case an accident occurred, they might turn from guest to host; they wouldn’t take even the slightest risk.
Just need to coax the person out…
It was just the right time for a group evacuation.
This world was about to be sacrificed.
But clearly, he had thought wrong!
“For me, a head of state, to abandon the majority of the people and follow you, haha, if you want to do that, then kill me!” If Huangtian were susceptible to wavering, how could he possibly have dragged this out until now.
“Do you really think those people would believe in the pie you’ve drawn? If you truly wanted to take a portion of the people away, would you come to persuade me?”
Some had already surrendered, eager to enter the Holy Land their hearts yearned for spiritual Cultivation.
Once again, rejection.
Sky Dragon True Monarch’s face grew dark.
Though it was anticipated, his mood was still sour.
A forcefully promoted Seventh Realm individual, with actual combat power of the Fifth Realm, defying them multiple times, would have died countless times in Chaotic Realm.
“If you disagree, then just wait here for death! Countless people will die because of your choice!”
This was the final plea.
Sky Dragon True Monarch no longer concealed his intention.
Having said his piece, he planned to leave.
Not only some of the lower-strength individuals were to evacuate, but they were too, returning to their own world.
This promotion was a carnival for all cultivators.
The enormous power of a Life World’s Yuan, even the Ninth Realm would find terrifying.
Huangtian didn’t know the specific objectives of Chaotic Realm, but he had his guesses.
People from Chaotic Realm were starting to leave, certainly not because of exhausted resources.
He had an ominous premonition.
“Could it possibly be time to execute the final plan?”
The escape plan had been in preparation ever since he communicated with the Planet Will.
Li Xueqian and other elite talents were carrying out this plan.
Their location was also simple: Qingshan Village.
Some important personnel were all in Qingshan Village; in the event of an emergency, the entire village would evacuate.
On the other side, seeing Huangtian make no move, Sky Dragon True Monarch laughed mockingly.
