Chapter 1820

Inside the Tianxin Sect.

Translation: Inside the Heavenly Heart Sect.

Elder Minghu returned and immediately went to find Elder Xinwuchen to report the news.

Translation: Elder Minghu returned and immediately went to find Elder Xin Wuhen to report the news.

Elder Xinwuchen, the situation is resolved—the Six‑Eyed Demon King has agreed to ally with us, though I don't trust him; I suspect he'll plot against us. Elder Minghu voiced his worries. The alliance is in place, but it's essentially without conditions—just a verbal agreement with little real commitment.

Translation: "Elder Xin Wuhen, the matter is settled; the Six-Eyed Demon King has agreed to join forces, but this demon cannot be trusted—I suspect he will scheme against us." Elder Minghu voiced his concern; the cooperation had been reached, but it essentially had no conditions, their cooperation was merely verbal, lacking much binding force.

They could betray each other at any moment; this kind of cooperation is extremely deadly. The Six‑Eyed Demon King cannot be trusted or controlled—these demons will do anything, and he is the most cunning of them, often betraying his allies. For this reason, Elder Minghu must remind Elder Xinwuchen.

Translation: Betraying each other can happen at any time; this kind of cooperation is extremely lethal. The Six-Eyed Demon King is untrustworthy and uncontrollable; these demon kings will do anything, and the Six-Eyed Demon King is the most cunning among them, often betraying teammates. For this, Elder Minghu must remind Elder Xin Wuhen.

Don't end up being out‑schemed by the Six‑Eyed Demon King; they are scheming against him, but he is also using them—each side is merely exploiting the other.

Translation: Don't end up being counter-schemed by the Six-Eyed Demon King; they are scheming against him, yet he is also using them—each side is merely using the other.

Simply put, both sides have value; once someone loses their value, they become useless and become a target for others.

Translation: Simply put, both sides have value; once someone loses their value, they truly become… useless, and will be targeted by others.

I know. Elder Xinwuchen said calmly: The Six‑Eyed Demon King cannot be trusted; we have never trusted these demons. Humans and demons are natural enemies—how could we easily trust them? Humans kill demons, demons kill humans—that has been the law for countless years, a rule of heaven and earth.

Translation: "I know." Elder Xin Wuhen said calmly: "The Six-Eyed Demon King is untrustworthy; we have never trusted these demon kings. Between humans and demons, we are natural enemies—how could we easily trust? Humans slay demons, demons slay humans; that has been the law for countless years, and also the rule of heaven and earth."

We humans wish to continue ruling heaven and earth, to remain the favored children of the cosmos; we must stop the rise of demon beasts and not let them return to that position, or else tragedy will befall humanity.

Translation: "If we humans wish to continue controlling heaven and earth, to remain the favored children of heaven and earth, we must stop the rise of demon beasts; we cannot let them return to that position, otherwise tragedy will befall humanity."

Why do you still want this, senior brother? Elder Minghu didn't understand why Elder Xinwuchen still sought his cooperation.

Translation: "Then why, Elder Brother, do you still seek this?" Elder Minghu did not understand why Elder Xin Wuhen still wanted to cooperate with him.

Why not another demon king instead of the Six‑Eyed Demon King? Other demon kings are easier to deal with, but the Six‑Eyed Demon King is truly uncontrollable—he has zero credibility.

Translation: "Why not other demon kings, but the Six-Eyed Demon King? Other demon kings are somewhat easier to deal with compared to the Six-Eyed Demon King, who is truly uncontrollable and has zero credibility."

Because he has ambition—greater than that of other demon kings. He has long wanted to control the Mangshan Mountains and break free from the Ten Thousand Demon Hall. By helping him, we help ourselves, since the Ten Thousand Demon Hall is too powerful and must be divided.

Translation: "Because he has ambition; compared to other demon kings, the Six-Eyed Demon King's ambition is greater. He has always wanted to control the Mangshan Mountain Range and break free from the Myriad Demon Palace. By helping him, we help ourselves, for the Myriad Demon Palace's strength is too great—we must divide them."

Within Lingzhou, the Ten Thousand Demon Hall is the strongest; all our human factions are opposing it, and because of it we cannot rise. Only by destroying the Ten Thousand Demon Hall and gaining control of the hundred‑thousand‑great mountains can we truly ascend.

Translation: "Within Lingzhou, the Myriad Demon Palace is the strongest; all our human forces oppose them, and because of the Myriad Demon Palace we cannot rise. Only by destroying the Myriad Demon Palace and gaining control of the hundred-thousand great mountains can we truly rise."

The Mulgong family constantly researches true dragon blood, aiming to use it against the Ten Thousand Demon Hall. Their idea of using demons to control demons is sound, but lately they've been useless, failing repeatedly.

Translation: "The Mulong family constantly researches true dragon bloodline, seeking to use it against the Myriad Demon Palace—the idea of using demons to control demons is excellent, but sadly, they have been utterly useless these past years, failing repeatedly."

In Cangzhou, the Corpse‑Refining Sect has been destroyed; the ensuing Cangzhou may form a united front to oppose our Lingzhou. Since we would be attacked from both sides, we cannot sit idle—we must find a way to draw the Ten Thousand Demon Hall into the conflict.

Translation: "In Cangzhou, the Corpse Refining Sect has been destroyed; the ensuing Cangzhou may form a united front to oppose our Lingzhou. We, caught between enemies, cannot sit and wait for death—we must find a way to draw the Myriad Demon Palace into the conflict."

Elder Xinwuchen sighed and said: This is also the sect's intention. Our Tianxin Sect wishes to continue rising, which requires eliminating all present enemies. However, since something happened in the small world, our people can no longer reach that world, and we have lost part of our resources.

Translation: Elder Xin Wuhen exhaled and said: "This is also the sect's idea; our Heavenly Heart Sect wishes to continue rising, we must eliminate all present enemies. However, since something happened in the Small World, our people can no longer reach that world, and we have lost part of our resources."

Moreover, our retreat is cut off; that world must be secured early. Inside Longshan Mountain there should be a passage—find it, re‑enter that world, and take control of the small world.

Translation: "Also, our rear is cut off; that world must be seized early. Inside Longshe Shan there should be a passage; find that passage, re-enter that world, and control the Small World."

Junior Brother Minghu, watch over Longshan Mountain; don't let anyone inside escape.

Translation: "Elder Minghu, you are to watch over Longshe Shan; do not let those inside escape."

Elder Minghu clasped his hands: Junior brother understands.

Translation: Elder Minghu clasped his hands: "Junior Brother understands."

Junior Brother Minghu, remember this: don't act rashly, and you don't need to fight yourself. When you act against the Mangshan Demon Palace, others will naturally handle Longshan Mountain. The Mulgong family has long hated Longshan Mountain; Mulgong Tian will surely spare no effort to destroy Longshan Mountain and the Mangshan Demon Palace.

Translation: "Elder Minghu, remember this: do not act rashly, and you need not strike yourself. When you act against the Mangshan Demon Palace, others will naturally deal with Longshe Shan. The Mulong family has long hated Longshe Shan; Mulong Tian will surely spare no effort to destroy Longshe Shan and the Mangshan Demon Palace."

We can use this to wear down the Mulgong family's strength, meanwhile divide the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, help the Six‑Eyed Demon King seize the Mangshan Mountains, and let him completely break free from the Hall. Then the Hall will surely not stand idle—they will attack the Six‑Eyed Demon King, and that will be our opportunity.

Translation: "We can thus consume the Mulong family's strength, meanwhile divide the Myriad Demon Palace, aid the Six-Eyed Demon King in seizing the Mangshan Mountain Range, letting him completely break free from the Myriad Demon Palace. Then the Myriad Demon Palace will surely not relent; they will certainly attack the Six-Eyed Demon King—and that will be our opportunity."

Junior brother, be aware: Longshan Mountain is very dangerous; don't rush in—let them probe first.

Translation: "Junior Brother, note this: Longshe Shan is very dangerous; do not rashly enter; let them probe first."

Elder Xinwuchen reminded again: Longshan Mountain is perilous, and that person is also perilous.

Translation: Elder Xin Wuhen reminded again: Longshe Shan is very dangerous, and that person is also very dangerous.

He can be certain of one thing: this kid Chen Chuyang must have an inevitable connection to Longshan Mountain.

Translation: He could be certain of one thing: that Chen Chuyang this kid definitely has an inevitable connection to Longshe Shan.

The Mangshan Demon Palace is tough, as is the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, and also Cangzhou's Tiandu Dragon King—none are easy opponents. They must act swiftly while Cangzhou is still unstable, before those forces fully unite; once they absorb the Corpse‑Refining Sect's resources, it will be too late to strike.

Translation: The Mangshan Demon Palace is tough to handle, as is the Myriad Demon Palace, and also the Heavenly Capital Dragon King of Cangzhou—each is difficult to deal with. They must act swiftly, while Cangzhou remains unstable and those forces have not fully united; once they absorb the Corpse Refining Sect's resources and try to act again, it will be too late.

Junior brother understands. Elder Minghu instantly grasped his senior's plan, naturally knowing what he must do—not to fight himself, but to provoke this battle, draw in all factions, create a chaotic melee, so they can profit from the confusion and achieve their goals.

Translation: "Junior Brother understands." Elder Minghu instantly grasped his elder brother's plan, naturally knowing what he must do—he is not to go fight, but to provoke this battle, letting all factions join, forming a chaotic melee; thus they can seize the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and achieve their goal.

Right, Junior Brother Minghu, also keep an eye on the Mulgong side—Mulgong Wenyi is about to reach the tribulation realm. When the time comes, send someone to stop his advancement; whether it succeeds or fails, just hinder him, annoy him. Elder Xinwuchen turned and gave the order.

Translation: "Right, Elder Minghu, also keep an eye on the Mulong family side; Mulong Wenyi is due to advance to the Tribulation Realm. When the time comes, send someone to hinder his advancement—whether it succeeds or fails, we just need to obstruct him, to vex him." Elder Xin Wuhen turned and gave the order.

Senior brother, junior brother understands; I know what to do and will ensure the Mulgong family doesn't suspect us. Elder Minghu instantly grasped Elder Xinwuchen's meaning and knew how to act.

Translation: "Elder Brother, Junior Brother understands; Junior Brother knows what to do and guarantees not to arouse suspicion from the Mulong family." Elder Minghu instantly comprehended Elder Xin Wuhen's words and knew what to do.

Good, Junior Brother Minghu, go ahead and handle it; senior brother can rest easy. Remember, don't put yourself in danger. Elder Xinwuchen added, not wishing this junior brother to be killed.

Translation: "Good, Elder Minghu, handle this; Elder Brother rests assured. Remember, do not put yourself in danger." Elder Xin Wuhen urged again, not wishing this junior brother to be killed.

Junior brother, take care.

Translation: "Junior Brother, take care."

Half a month later.

Translation: Half a month later.

The Mulgong family.

Translation: The Mulong family.

The tribulation clouds gathered, dark clouds shrouded the sky; the entire Mulgong family went on high alert, surrounded on all sides, allowing no one to approach.

Translation: Heavenly tribulation was brewing, dark clouds enveloped the sky; the entire Mulong family went on alert, the surroundings were surrounded, no one allowed to approach.

This day finally arrived.

Translation: This day finally arrived.

Mulgong Tian ordered: Everyone, keep watch—no one may enter the Mulgong family's core area; any intruder will be killed without mercy.

Translation: Mulong Tian ordered: "Everyone, keep watch; no one may enter the Mulong family's core area; all intruders shall be killed without mercy."

Yes, patriarch.

Translation: "Yes, Family Head."

The Mulgong disciples sprang into action, scouring the surroundings, keeping strangers away, clearing the area to ensure no one would interfere with this tribulation.

Translation: The Mulong family's disciples sprang into action, scouring the perimeter, allowing no strangers near, clearing the area, ensuring no one would obstruct this heavenly tribulation.

Mulgong Tian watched anxiously as the tribulation lightning struck; below it was the figure of Mulgong Wenyi, who had broken through—only the tribulation remained to be passed. This tribulation is of utmost importance; absolutely no mishap can occur. Mulgong Tian personally guarded the rite, and even other elders of the Mulgong family came to stand guard.

Translation: Mulong Tian stared excitedly at the heavenly tribulation; beneath it was the figure of Mulong Wenyi—he had broken through, only lacking to pass the tribulation. This tribulation is of utmost importance; absolutely no accident may occur. Mulong Tian personally acted as Dharma Protector, and even other elders of the Mulong family came forward to serve as Dharma Protectors.

This time, there must be no accident.

Translation: This time, there must be no accident.

Wenyi, you have finally reached this stage—the tribulation realm, which is the true mark of a strong one.

Translation: "Wenyi, you have finally reached this step; the Tribulation Realm is the true mark of a strong one."

Mulgong Tian stared at the tribulation lightning; its scale is not small, its power is not lacking—this shows that Mulgong Wenyi's talent and strength have been acknowledged by heaven and earth. Once he passes the tribulation, he will undergo a complete transformation.

Translation: Mulong Tian gazed at the tribulation; this tribulation is not small in scale, its power is not lacking—it shows that Mulong Wenyi's talent and strength have been acknowledged by heaven and earth. Once he passes the tribulation, Mulong Wenyi will undergo a complete transformation.

From now on, the Mulgong family will have nothing more to worry about.

Translation: From then on, the Mulong family need no longer worry.

Boom.

Translation: "Boom—"

The thunderous roar shook the heavens, and heaven and earth began to tremble.
