Chapter 115: The War Begins 1
Heavenly Realm!
The terrifying shadow of the World Tree occupied the sky of the New World, and countless golden chains of order dangled down, as beams of golden light containing information illuminated the world below, letting all people know these two words.
The Heavenly Realm, this is the name of the New World!
The “Xuan” character from the previous Xuantian Realm has vanished.
“The Heavenly Realm… Is this really the name of the New World? Too bold… Although the New World is powerful, it can’t be surpassing the Earth Character Realm!”
“I feel something’s off. Could this world really be related to the legendary First Heavenly Realm? Otherwise, how could it absorb over a hundred worlds?”
“It’s possible… But no matter what, from today onwards, this is the Heavenly Realm.”
Everyone was discussing, the name setting their imagination alight.
In some ancient powers and inheritances, the old fossils were now murmuring to themselves.
“If this world is truly related to the First Heavenly Realm, then it’s too important, containing supreme opportunities…”In the Earth Yuan Realm, within a cave, a terrifying elder murmured, with golden divine light shining from his eyes.
“We must take it seriously and strive to seize control over the Heavenly Realm quickly. This way, all the opportunities will belong to us.”
In the Difeng Realm, inside an ancient palace, a very strong middle-aged man slammed his hand on the table.
“The Heavenly Realm… Could this be the legendary Ancestral Realm? There are records in a broken secret tome that our Huangtian Realm was also part of the First Heavenly Realm…”
In the Huangtian Realm, an emaciated old man, nothing but skin and bones, walked out of a coffin, his expression extremely agitated.
The strange phenomena between heaven and earth had not stopped.
Immediately after, in various resisting lands, suddenly huge steles rose from the ground!
Earth Yuan Realm.
At the border between the Earth Yuan Realm and another continent, a stele thousands of meters tall emerged with three big characters: “Diyuan State!”
This scene occurred in the original worlds.
Huangtian State.
Earth Spirit State.
Xuanming Province.
Former individual worlds could now only become a state within the Heavenly Realm!
In just a few short days, after the World Tree manifested and proclaimed to the world, the concept of the Heavenly Realm had deeply rooted in people’s hearts.
The idea of a Hundred States had also been accepted by everyone.
At the same time, the gaze of the Hundred States of Heaven was focused on one central state.
Xuan Tianzhou!
There, was the center of the entire world.
“Xuan Tianzhou… There must be great secrets hidden there, we need to investigate in time!”
“It would be best to settle in Xuan Tianzhou!”
“Right, the roots of the World Tree are all planted in that state. Even if it was originally just a Profound Character Realm, it will gradually become the gathering place of the Immortal Spiritual Qi of the world. We must vie for it.”
All the people were watching.
At this moment.
Xuan Tianzhou.
People like Yuanyang Holy Lord were gathered together.
They had been discussing, ready to deal with the new situation.
“Now that the Heavenly Realm has just formed, the powers have become even more complex.”
Saint Lord Lingchao spoke, “Among the Hundred States of Heaven, those belonging to the Earth Character Realm include three major states: ‘Earth Spirit State’, ‘Difeng State’, and ‘Diyuan State’!”
“In addition, there are over twenty states that were originally part of the Mysterious Character Realm.”
“The rest are almost all at the Huang (Yellow) character level states.”
During this time, they had gained an initial understanding of the current Heavenly Realm.
“Continue the investigation, and make it clear which strong forces exist in each state! As well as the geographical conditions of each state and more,” said Yuanyang Holy Lord.
Over the next month, there were continuous integrations between the various states of the Heavenly Realm.
Messengers were flying back and forth rapidly.
People were getting a basic understanding of the situation in the Heavenly Realm.
At the same time, war began to spread throughout the Heavenly Realm!
“Report! A multitude of major powers in Diyuan State, under the leadership of Purple Light Mountain and Ancient Peak Sect Master, have established the ‘Earth Element Alliance’. Ten days ago, they broke through Xuanqian Province, Huangming Province, and Huangcheng Province! Their influence is expanding!”
“Report! Three days ago, the ‘Earth Spirit Alliance’ formed in Earth Spirit State conquered seven major states, bolstering their power!”
“Report! The ‘Earth Wind Alliance’ of Difeng State has annihilated the entire Xuanlie Province!”
“Report! Three more states have joined the ‘Xuanzi Alliance’!”
One by one, messages rapidly reached Xuan Tianzhou.
At Taiyan Holy Land, powerhouses like Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Teacher Kongming gathered here, their expressions extremely solemn.
“Alt, it should have been expected. Now that the Heavenly Realm has just formed, the powers are intermixed, and the strengths between the various states are too disparate; annexation is inevitable!” Yuanyang Holy Lord sighed.
“What’s frightening is not the current warfare,” said Dugu Chenlu solemnly. “Have you all considered why, as the center of the Heavenly Realm, Xuan Tianzhou has so far been untouched by war?”
“Moreover, the route of conquest by the major alliances seems to be encircling us at the center.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces darkened.
“Does Brother Dugu mean that all the major alliances… are now accumulating strength?” Saint Teacher Kongming said.
“Indeed, it’s probably because Xuan Tianzhou is too important, and they are wary of us, so for the time being, no alliance has made a move against us.”
“But this is not good news. Once they attack, I fear Xuan Tianzhou may face the calamity of eradication!” Dugu Chenlu spoke gravely, “Everyone, we must prepare for war.”
Preparation for war!
At those words, everyone’s expressions grew solemn.
“Now that four major alliances have emerged in the Heavenly Realm, among them, the Earth Wind Alliance, the Earth Element Alliance, and the Earth Spirit Alliance, are all mainly formed by the original Earth Character Realm, while the Xuanzi Alliance is formed by some powerful Profound Character States… Should we join one of them?” Saint Lord Lingchao spoke somewhat uncertainly.
“No,” Yuanyang Holy Lord shook his head. “We cannot join any alliance because all four alliances surely intend to swallow Xuan Tianzhou to control the Heavenly Realm. If we join one, it would play right into their hands.”
“We must maintain our independence!” Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
“Yes, we must not join any alliance!”
“Xuantian Province should not get involved.”
They had all reached a consensus.
“An envoy from the Earth Spirit Alliance has come to visit!”
Just at this moment, outside the Taiyan Holy Land, a voice suddenly rang out!
In the great hall, everyone’s expression instantly changed.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
They exchanged glances.
“Please.”
Saint Lord Lingchao spoke, knowing they couldn’t possibly turn away the visitor, regardless of their intentions. To do so would not only appear cowardly, but also gratuitously create an enemy!
Before long, a middle-aged man had already made his way to the great hall of the Taiyan Holy Land. He walked in with his hands behind his back, a proud look on his face, and a faint smile on his lips, saying:
“I am Wang Juan, an envoy from the Earth Spirit Alliance, on a mission to deliver a letter to you all.”
He casually took out an envelope, saying, “May I ask who holds authority over this sword?”
Saint Lord Lingchao responded indifferently, “I am the Taiyan Saint Lord.”
Wang Juan gave a slight smile and said, “Saint Lord? Does anyone dare to claim such a title these days?”
After finishing his words, he shot the envelope in his hand towards Saint Lord Lingchao with force!
The envelope carried a terrifying force of Immortal Spirit.
– Even a regular Immortal might not be able to catch it!
A shadow crossed Saint Lord Lingchao’s eyes, but with a light flick of his hand, he caught the envelope steadily, without injury!
Seeing this, Wang Juan’s pupils slightly constricted as he said, “I didn’t expect that in this little Profound Character Realm, there would be an Immortal!”
Usually, in many realms of the Profound Character Realm, an Almost Immortal is the pinnacle of combat power.
Saint Lord Lingchao opened the envelope impassively.
After glancing at the contents of the letter, his brows furrowed deeply!
“What is it, Brother Lingchao?”
The Yuanyang Holy Lord asked.
Saint Lord Lingchao handed the letter to the others and said in a deep voice, “The Earth Spirit Alliance wants us to bow our heads in fealty, and moreover, they demand that we leave Xuantian Province within ten days!”
Upon hearing this, Dugu Chenlu, Cihang Saint Lord, and the others were furiously enraged!
“This is too much!”
“Just because of one letter, they expect us to leave our ancestral land?”
“Impossible!”
They all spoke out in anger!
Noticing their reaction, Wang Juan, however, smiled leisurely and said, “Perhaps I should remind you, this letter was handwritten by one of the protectors of the Earth Spirit Alliance. He… is a Heavenly Immortal!” Heavenly Immortal!
He looked at Dugu Chenlu and the others proudly.
He was well aware that for Immortals and True Immortals, a Heavenly Immortal was the real sky.
With a mere wave of his hand, he could obliterate the entire Xuantian Province.
However, what followed was his disappointment because he did not see the look of terror on everyone’s faces.
Instead, Dugu Chenlu, Saint Lord Lingchao, and the others were very calm!
The Yuanyang Holy Lord then spoke gravely, “Written by a Heavenly Immortal… Ha, what if we do not comply with this letter?”
Wang Juan’s face immediately darkened as he said, “Three days!”
“You only have three days. If you do not promptly submit and depart Xuantian Province as dictated in the letter, then you will never see the sun of the Heavenly Realm again!”
“Prepare to face the wrath of the Earth Spirit Alliance!”
Having said that, he turned and left.
Before leaving, he suddenly turned back and said coldly, “I would advise you not to struggle in vain. The alliance could send any Profound Immortal over and completely annihilate all of you ants!”
Wang Juan had left.
In the great hall, however, everyone’s faces looked extremely grim!
“Simply outrageous!”
Saint Lord Lingchao slammed his fist on the table!
“Do they really think they are the Masters of the Heavenly Realm?!”
“Brother Yuanyang is right. These alliances are truly wolves with ambition, harboring ulterior motives for Xuantian Province!”
The others also voiced their indignation!
“The key point now is, what do we do? The Earth Spirit Alliance… it is the combination of all the powerful forces from the original Earth Spirit Realm, including many Heavenly Immortals, and perhaps even Golden Immortals!”
Saint Teacher Kongming, with deep concern in his aged eyes, said, “Once war breaks out, we cannot withstand them!”
Everyone fell silent.
Indeed, the Xuantian Realm was already quite strong among the many Mysterious Character Realms, but it was still far inferior in strength to the Earth Spirit Realm!
At this moment, the Yuanyang Holy Lord’s eyes suddenly gleamed, saying, “I think we can also establish an alliance to defend Xuantian Province!”
“Xuantian Alliance!”
At his words, everyone shuddered.
“The Xuantian Alliance… but, the other alliances are all very powerful!”
Cihang Saint Lord hesitated a bit, saying, “Even Xuanzi Alliance, said to be the weakest, is rumored to have several old Heavenly Immortals!”
And in Xuantian Province, their current strongest members, Dugu Chenlu, Yuanyang Holy Lord, and the others, were merely in the True Immortal Realm.
Not even a Profound Immortal among them.
“That doesn’t matter.”
The Yuanyang Holy Lord was unaffected, saying, “We appoint Goddess Zunling’er and Qian Ning, the Divine Maiden, as the leaders of the alliance!”
At his words, everyone’s expressions became solemn.
“Understood, with that, who would dare to come looking for trouble?”
“Yes, behind the Divine Maiden Ling’er and Divine Maiden Qian Ning is Senior Li, after all…”
With this thought, they immediately rejoiced.
All worries were swept away in an instant!
– Even all those powerful individuals from the Senluo Holy Sect had perished, let alone these insignificant alliances…
“Of course, we still need to ask Senior Li himself about this matter.”
The Yuanyang Holy Lord spoke.
Everyone nodded, none daring to make decisions on their own regarding matters involving Li Fan.
“Let’s go find Miss Ling’er and Miss Qian Ning right now!”
Saint Lord Lingchao immediately said.
