Chapter 3095
It then said: "Since they have descended to the lower realm, I hope they suffer more damage. Do not forget, the fiercer your battles in the mortal world, the more abundant the demonic energy that Tianluo Star transmits to the celestial realm. The more Lingxu gods die in the mortal world, the more demonic energy we celestial survivors obtain. So — "
He smiled at He Lingchuan and said: "You all must strive harder; do not die too quickly."
Having said this, the smoke and mist dispersed, and Naluo Tian directly departed.
He Lingchuan sat in his original position, exhaling a long breath. In his view, Lingxu Shengzun and Naluo Tian represented two entirely different approaches of the celestial realm regarding survival and development.
But regardless, the intelligence brought by Naluo Tian tonight was extremely precious. He directly exposed the second method by which Lingxu Shengzun and the Great Heavenly Demon descend to the mortal world.
A new worry also followed: the "Spring Wind Transforming Rain" method of descent is as elusive as an antelope's horns, leaving no trace; even if He Lingchuan wished to, he had no means to intercept it.
Speaking of which, after the Great Heavenly Demon descends to the lower realm, even if the demons hold an advantage in top-tier power, they ultimately must rely on mortal strength to rule the mortal world, for "the state" is the most effective means of governance. And in this aspect, Yuanli holds a significant advantage.
Lingxu Shengzun should be well aware that, after the Great Vessel transforms from void to substance and rewrites the laws of Yuanli, even if the demons defeat the War Alliance,
temporarily ruling the mortal world, their foundation would no longer be stable.
Therefore, why does He persist without concern, insisting on advancing divine descent?
What other powerful reliance does He still possess?
That night, the Dragon God Army and the Mou State Army successfully joined forces at Wupinggang in Shan Yu State.
These two forces within the War Alliance, one advancing from northwest to southeast and the other from north to south, launched a pincer attack on Shan Yu State, finally meeting at Wupinggang, thereby in fact severing the major north-south transportation artery within Shan Yu State.
Nevertheless, even with such a great advantage, the atmosphere within the War Alliance remained heavy, for all high-level members understood that Lingxu Shengzun would inevitably descend to the lower realm; previous侥幸psychology had vanished entirely, and no one knew how long the present victory could last.
On the night of the junction, He Lingchuan's grand tent received an unexpected guest — the True Immortal Xiao Hanzi, who was campaigning with the army.
"Xiao True Person, come, come, please sit."
For this master of Ling Mountain, He Lingchuan was very enthusiastic.
Even on the eve of the demon descent, Ling Mountain internally still had many entangled interests, unclear and unresolved. He Lingchuan had long prepared for the expectation that Ling Mountain might not cooperate well, just as Panlong City had once hoped in vain for Ling Mountain's support.
Fortunately, history did not repeat itself. This time, Xiao Hanzi, within Ling Mountain, 排众议, displayed uncommon firmness, and dispatched all Ling Mountain immortals to the War Alliance.
Whether his change in attitude stemmed from subjective factors or objective conditions, He Lingchuan felt that this so-called old stubbornness was not as antiquated as it appeared on the surface.
Xiao Hanzi returned the salute and sat down, his attitude humble.
The cultivation world has always revered the strong; Jiukuang Dadi has repeatedly proven that, whether in cultivation realm or in governance and military command, he is an unparalleled fierce figure, rare yet possessing a heart for saving the world.
The more Xiao Hanzi understood him, the more he revered him.
Xiao Hanzi also observed the War Alliance's battle progress before and after the demon descent; it was indeed surprising.
The Lingxu Shengzun's gods descent plan had already been implemented for more than half; under Jiukuang Dadi's leadership, the War Alliance not only did not collapse but withstood pressure from all sides and continued to advance firmly forward.
Such strategy and resolve, Xiao Hanzi knew, Ling Mountain could by no means achieve.
After discussing the battle situation for a few sentences, they immediately turned to the main topic.
"I previously, at the invitation of the Red General, went to Baojicheng to observe the Pisha Tian altar. These days I have repeatedly pondered it, and I have a slight insight I wish to discuss with the Emperor and the Red General."
He Lingchuan greatly rejoiced: "Xiao True Person, profound and learned, I am eager to hear the details."
Thereafter he activated long-range divine communication and contacted the Red General.
When they captured Haoling State, they discovered in its capital Baojicheng a strange altar, its formation profound and obscure, and at the center of the formation lay the exclusive divine talisman of Pisha Tian, the Great Heavenly Demon.
At that time, even the Red General could not say exactly what this formation was for, only knowing it was filled with the aura of the life divine nature, because it was only half-made, not yet completed.
Then she hurried back to Cangyan, unable to personally supervise the progress of this investigation, so the subsequent research was entrusted to Xiao Hanzi.
He Lingchuan also clearly understood why the Red General invited Xiao Hanzi to study it: this great immortal is indeed a supreme expert in formations and talismans, with several thousand years of experience not in vain.
When the Red General's appearance appeared in the mirror, Xiao Hanzi also lightly coughed, taking out several sheets of paper from his bosom.
"The altar you discovered is merely a semi-finished product; at least half of the talisman formation remains undrawn."
He Lingchuan wondered: "How do you know it is still missing half?"
"I found the original draft." Xiao Hanzi smiled: "I took over the Red General's investigation, and in Baojicheng I found the team of talisman masters responsible for construction. They originally numbered fifteen; after the Baojicheng great battle, nine remained, and they presented this original draft issued by the Heavenly Palace."
He Lingchuan gave him a thumbs-up: "Indeed worthy of Xiao True Person."
Xiao Hanzi paused: "I have studied demon formations for many years, but after all I am not a celestial inhabitant; if there are any discrepancies, I still need to consult with the Red General."
The Red General inherited part of Mitian's memories, namely the ability of the ancient death god, and is naturally very authoritative.
Each sheet of paper depicts a set of talisman formations, so intricate that He Lingchuan would feel dizzy at a glance.
Purely hand-drawn.
One two three four — a total of seven sheets.
"The formation of this altar resembles the human game of Linked Rings. Altogether there are seven formations, upper and lower, interlocked and superimposed, extraordinarily complex."
Having said this, he stacked the seven sheets one by one, then held them up to the light.
They became one.
The paper is very thin, with excellent translucency. All three could clearly see that the central pattern on the first sheet is exactly the formation foot on the second and third sheets. And so on, the seven formations are indeed interlinked, ingeniously crafted.
He Lingchuan immediately said: "Correct, this is exactly the formation we saw at that time. Originally, there are seven formations superimposed from top to bottom. The Pisha Tian divine talisman buried underground was刻繫 by the God of Coming and Going, but he knew nothing of this formation."
The Red General immediately said: "This entire formation is nine-tenths the work of Lingxu Shengzun. His attainment has advanced further."
Those capable of deciphering Lingxu Shengzun's talisman formations, in both realms combined, could be counted on one hand.
Xiao Hanzi continued: "This is not an existing formation; at least, having studied formations for many years, I have never seen such. But if this composite formation is disassembled into seven, each one's function I can roughly infer, as the saying goes, myriad changes do not depart from the essence. However, I wish to ask the Red General about the meaning of these two patterns."
