Chapter 2674: The Crisis of the Frost Leaves

Actually, after he ambushed Yanxia Bay, the Heavenly Demon was thoroughly enraged and even put out two false pieces of information externally, trying to trick him into falling for it again. But He Lingchuan didn't go; even thinking with his knees, he knew there was a heavenly net and earthly trap waiting for him there.

On the other hand, other cultivators stepped into the trap, and their fate needs no further explanation.

If the Frost Leaf National Preceptor truly revealed the latest location of the Spirit Essence Palace, would it not be another trap?

One cannot help but be cautious.

The Frost Leaf National Preceptor is very clear that He Lingchuan's trust in him is pitifully scarce.

"After you caused a ruckus at the Spirit Essence Palace, I heard that whether it was the Heavenly Palace or Yanxia Bay, both conducted an internal thorough investigation, killing many people and even implicating many other matters."

Such places are not usually investigated, but when they are, earth-shattering matters often come to light, and one investigation reveals a huge gap. So once investigated to a certain extent, one must call it off.

He Lingchuan smiled faintly: "I've also heard of that."

"The true location of the Spirit Essence Palace is now completely a mystery." The Frost Leaf National Preceptor held his wine cup to warm his hands, "Thanks to you."

The Heavenly Palace also does not truly trust him, so it would be impossible to tell him.

"Then what do you still want to discuss with me?"

"Then what else do you have as bargaining chips to discuss with me?"

"The Holy Venerable." The Frost Leaf National Preceptor added, "More precisely, it is the part concerning the Holy Venerable in the Plan for the Descent of the Gods."

"The Holy Venerable's part?" Oh, this one is acceptable.

"Not bad. The Plan for the Descent of the Gods by the Lingxu Holy Venerable, which the Heavenly Realm knows, you probably know as well." The Frost Leaf National Preceptor naturally knew that the Nine Abysses and the Heavenly Realm also maintained contact, "But in the plan he laid out, there is never any mention of arrangements for himself. What do you think, how would the Lingxu Holy Venerable descend to the mortal realm?"

The premise of this statement is that the two people present are very clear that, as the proposer and executor of the Gods' Descent Plan, the Lingxu Holy Venerable himself must descend to the mortal realm; it is impossible for him to remain in heaven merely watching. He himself must be the greatest beneficiary of the plan.

However, as the Frost Leaf National Preceptor said, this plan seems not to include the Lingxu Holy Venerable.

The Lingxu Holy Venerable is recognized as the foremost person in the Heavenly Realm; his power is so formidable that even the True Immortal body of the Qianhuan True Person cannot bear his full descent. And the latest version of the Gods' Descent Plan uses the body of the Yin Shenjun to create the husks of the gods.

Needless to say, such husks should not be able to bear the full descent of the Lingxu Holy Venerable.

So, how would he himself descend to the mortal realm?

This question has long troubled He Lingchuan and Lingshan.

The smile on He Lingchuan's face slowly faded: "He never mentioned it, probably because he already has a way. Did you obtain this information?"

If the Frost Leaf National Preceptor brought the answer, the weight of this secret would indeed be no less than the location of the Spirit Essence Palace.

"This is the Lingxu Holy Venerable's most important secret; I very much doubt he would share it with anyone, even his confidants and die-hard loyalists." Once one has lived a long time, the meaning of the two words "die-hard loyalist" will be understood differently.

What thing is eternally unchanging? Loyalty is the same.

"Then what do you want to say?" A secret without weight is not worth the Frost Leaf National Preceptor personally bringing before the Great Emperor of the Nine Abysses.

"I have inquired about some details and also have a hypothesis, which might be useful to you."

Having spoken to this point, the Frost Leaf fell silent.

The two people's wine cups were both empty; He Lingchuan raised his hand and filled them both, while saying:

"The Frost Leaf National Preceptor's hypothesis is probably very costly, right? Last time you mentioned the whereabouts of the 'Yangguan Dao,' you exchanged it for the brain core of a Voracious Eater; this time, what conditions do you want to exchange for?"

The Frost Leaf chuckled: "The brain core of the Voracious Eater is useless to you, and it's just borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha. But you obtained the whereabouts of the 'Yangguan Dao,' timely rescuing the Longgu Ancient City, not to mention, and even gained the Earth Mother, such a powerful divine beast, for free. You just say, is it worth it or not?"

Because the Heavenly Demon wanted to exchange the 'Yangguan Dao' divine artifact from Shangguan Biao's hands, He Lingchuan hastily rushed to the Panlong Wasteland, only to fortuitously encounter the two sides calculating the Panlong Ancient City; what else is there to say? Just do it.

The Frost Leaf National Preceptor also did not expect that, having only leaked the news of the 'Yangguan Dao' to He Lingchuan, the latter could muster such a grand spectacle. If that time he had failed to subdue the Earth Mother, whether the Nine Abysses could later handle the Spirit Essence Palace and steal the body of the Yin Shenjun, it would be hard to say.

"Worldly affairs are hard to predict." He Lingchuan sighed, "But your information is indeed timely. Speak, what do you demand?"

He got down to business, and the Frost Leaf National Preceptor also put away his smile, speaking solemnly:

"Some time ago, the Lingxu Assembly published the first batch of names for trial descent, totaling one hundred heavenly gods. They will descend to the mortal realm in the near future."

"I have seen that list." He Lingchuan, being extremely perceptive, understood at a glance, "You are concerned about the Jin Du Holy Mother?"

The character "圣" is emphasized in tone.

The Frost Leaf National Preceptor did not take up the conversation, but his eyes flickered twice.

Due to weak divine power, over the past many years, the Jin Du Mother had always been a lower-ranking god among the Lingxu Assembly. Yet it appeared on this list, and with the "圣" character as its title, indicating its status among the Lingxu Assembly had received a tremendous elevation.

"Although the Jin Du Mother herself is not strong in strength, her ability is very special. The Lingxu Holy Venerable's Plan for the Descent of the Gods was also inspired by her ability; the Spirit Essence Palace then imitated the Jin Du Mother's method, combining human descendants with fragments of the Yin Shenjun to give birth to the latest version of the divine body husk." He Lingchuan let out a soft sigh, "Without it, perhaps humanity would not have needed to undergo this calamity."

"Moreover, I heard that the 'Qian Chang' secret medicine used by heavenly gods to cooperate with secret techniques to control the Between Between Between Beijia Fan Yao State was also developed based on the Jin Du Mother's function of controlling ghost offspring." He Lingchuan looked at the Frost Leaf National Preceptor and said, "Based on these two points, the Lingxu Assembly giving him the '圣' character is not excessive."

Originally a humble lower-ranking god, its very existence could yet alter the progress of the Lingxu Holy Venerable's plan.

"I am not clear about the secret medicine matter, but I heard that the latest god-descent husk has already appeared, stronger than the one you saw in the Spirit Essence Palace! And this is indeed made possible with the help of the Jin Du Mother, allowing rapid completion." The Frost Leaf said with a solemn face, "Thanks to these merits, it earned itself a place in the first batch of trial points."

"Its first act upon descending to the mortal realm might very well be to find you and completely control you." He Lingchuan picked up a red date to eat. Hmm, especially fragrant and sweet after being roasted over fire, "You are the First National Preceptor, your influence over the Between Between Between Beijia Wang Ting is of paramount importance; once the Heavenly Demon descends, he will surely prioritize controlling the Between Between Between Beijia Wang Ting, and thus firmly grasp this useful tool of Between Between Between Beijia in his hands. This might be the important reason why the Lingxu Holy Venerable allowed the Jin Du Holy Mother to enter the advance batch list."

The Lingxu Holy Venerable's actions are never without reason.

But this way, the time left for the Frost Leaf National Preceptor to strive for freedom of identity is not much.

"Once the list is made public, many heavenly gods on it have encountered ambushes." The Frost Leaf National Preceptor said with a blank face, "More than ten days ago, the Jin Du Mother suffered an ambush, carried out by three heavenly gods acting together."
