Chapter 3010

The Grand Vase just happened to return to the material world and restore the Panlongcheng to the human realm on the eve of the great descent of the demons—this is no coincidence. Is this the manifestation of the Dragon God's will?

With the cultivations of the myriad immortals, they had long sensed the communion between heaven and man. The tremendous change in the laws of heaven and earth, they felt it in the depths of their being, thus they knew that the completion of the primordial force law spoken of by Jiuyou was no empty talk.

But to say that with primordial force, mortals could resist the demons? The great immortals present did not believe it.

Que Yunzi chuckled: "Then tell me in detail—after obtaining primordial force, how are mortals to resist the demons?"

The other party invoked the Dragon God to expound the concept of primordial force, and he found it hard to oppose. After all, the Dragon God had once been the leader of the myriad immortals.

But here, every true immortal would not lightly believe Jiuyou's promises about primordial force.

Yuanling curled her lips. These old things had lived for too long, eaten more salt than Jiuyou and her spouse had eaten rice—hundreds of times over—both slippery and stubborn.

Convincing them would not be easy.

He Lingchuan said slowly: "The demons set an ambush in the Dragon Binding Art, sneaking up on the Earth Mother. Without preparation, before I even arrived, our side relied solely on four immortals and four thousand garrison troops to hold the Earth Mother Plains for nearly two hours. Their opponents included three great celestial gods, among them Jia Luo Tian, and one hundred thirteen demons, most of whom were full divine descents."

"During the defense of the plains, my army also slew over thirty demons. Though they too relied on the geographical advantage of the Earth Mother Plains, this record suffices to show the role primordial force can play in the army's resistance against demons."

These words made the immortals' eyes flash. Jia Luo Tian and the other great demons fell in the Dragon Binding Pit battle, the Grand Vase returned from illusion to reality, and Panlongcheng reappeared—these were earth-shattering events, of course they had heard of them more than once.

But the details of this battle were only now being spoken of by Jiuyou.

This record is indeed incredible.

True immortals' understanding of "power" is profoundly thorough, far surpassing that of ordinary people. Three great celestial gods plus over a hundred demons—any two true immortals present, if they met head-on, would turn and flee without hesitation.

Using such a force to slaughter four thousand garrison troops—should it not be as easy as crushing dry weeds?

Mortal armies should have no power to resist, let alone slay thirty demons!

Does primordial force truly have such immense effect?

He Lingchuan continued: "Afterward, the primordial force law was further rewritten. If the Dragon Binding Pit battle occurred today, my army, when facing Jia Luo Tian's demon troops, would not struggle as it did then. For primordial force can now ignore borders, accompanying the army on distant campaigns." Xin Zhi Shangren interjected: "Your battle was merely a special case. What we want to know is whether primordial force truly enhances other mortal armies, and whether it can truly alter the outcome of their battles against demons."

He Lingchuan pointed to Mou Di: "Then ask him. Mou Guo's army has recently fought against the Between Between Between Beijia army and demons."

"Since the primordial force law was rewritten, armies in combat have clearly enhanced their resistance to divine powers and techniques, and commanders' performances have become more outstanding." Mou Di gave a timely example: "Half a month ago, I had two commanders leading three thousand troops, encountering Between Between Between Beijia's four great demons and five demons at Jue Ming Pass. In the past, our side would surely have suffered heavy losses; but this time, after wounding two great demons, we withdrew calmly." "The times have changed, and the laws of heaven and earth have changed as well." Mou Di said solemnly, "Demons still cannot comprehend the suppressive effect of the primordial force upheaval on them—this is greatly advantageous to us."

Pu Gu Shangren asked again: "Are you saying that with only mortal commanders and armies, we can resist nearly ten thousand demons?"

"As long as the strategy is sound." He Lingchuan said solemnly, "If you have other methods, propose them; otherwise, this is our sole means of resisting vast numbers of demons—there is no alternative."

If you have other methods, speak up quickly; if you cannot, then do not stand here picking and choosing.

Hong General suddenly said: "After Panlongcheng entered the world with the Grand Vase, I fought Jia Luo Tian, and my followers, leading five thousand troops, slew thirty-five demons beside him. They were trained warriors, but the demons following Jia Luo Tian's descent were carefully selected by the Ling Xu Holy Sovereign." Five thousand troops slaying thirty-five fully descended demons—this record is truly arrogant!

Then, to resist over ten thousand demons, would we only need over two million elite soldiers and valiant generals?

Two million—this number sounds large. But for human armies to gather this number, it is easily done.

Of course, facts cannot allow such a simple deduction. How many does the Fengjun Army of Panlongcheng actually have?

However, the great stone weighing on the immortals' hearts has at last become a little lighter.

He Lingchuan continued: "For the past three thousand years, the demon realm has had abundant spiritual energy, the great demons' cultivation has continually increased, and they are stronger than in ancient times—thus resisting them is even harder for you all."

This is naturally a fact. In the long river of time, the spiritual energy of heaven and the human realm waxes and wanes oppositely, so the cultivation of great demons and human true immortals also waxes and wanes oppositely.

Although in recent twenty years, spiritual energy has swiftly flowed toward the human realm via the Tian Luo Star, true immortals' cultivation cannot be rapidly increased in just twenty years—they need the precipitation of time.

Thus, letting the true immortals and great demons present fight each other—whose victory is uncertain.

Moreover, when the great demons descend, their numbers will exceed those of the true immortals.

"But, if you all obtain the aid of primordial force, resisting great demons may perhaps no longer be so arduous." He Lingchuan further said, "Primordial force is not only useful for armies resisting demons; when true immortals resist great demons, it can likewise be employed. I, Hong General, and Wu Huan Lao Zu have deeply benefited from it."

He and Hong General are indeed living examples. Even if they had begun cultivating from the womb, their total years of Dao practice would be how many? To defeat great demons, to defeat true immortals—this cannot be achieved by innate talent and fortunate encounters alone.

Yet they have accomplished earth-shattering feats, one after another.

What do they possess that others lack? Nothing but primordial force.

Xin Zhi Shangren, upon hearing this, was also moved: "You mean we too can use primordial force? But is this not a power that can only arise with the state as its foundation?"

"Exactly." He Lingchuan knew the main event of today had arrived, "With your current cultivations, wanting to advance a step beyond a hundred-foot pole—how difficult is that? Yet, by changing one's mindset and relying on primordial force's aid to take this step, it is utterly effortless."

The hall fell silent for a moment. After a while, Que Yunzi suddenly burst into loud laughter: "You mean, you mean, want us to join the state?" Heh, heheh—originally, it was drawing the bow to see the dagger's point.
