Chapter 302

The Five Elements Seal corresponds to the 《Five Dragons True Classic》.

The Void and Substance Seal corresponds to the 《Dream Journey to the Grand Void》!

As for the Yin-Yang Seal, it corresponds to the Golden Crow Fission Great Law and the Yin Refinement Method; with just a little time, he can elevate the Yin Refinement Method to the Primordial Spirit level, reconstructing it into a composite Yin-Yang Immortal Law.

Zhang Jian returned to the Blessed Land to fully enhance his strength, while outside Hao Jing City, as he dealt with some spies, a major force began to stir.

Outside Hao Jing City, dozens of figures appeared within a Daoist temple.

This place originally had a Daoist temple occupied by wandering cultivators; now, the high priests, fire artisans, guest Daoists, and even the temple masters inside have all turned into desiccated corpses.

Demonic aura shrouds this place, with numerous demonic shadows winding about, each exuding a magnificent presence.

In fact, this gathering has already assembled many demonic Primordial Spirits, even including past rivals of the Void Spirit Observatory.

At this moment, the Hundred Aspects Ancestor stands at the head, surrounded by several terrifying figures whose bodies are entwined with blood qi and flickering with intense malevolence.

To his left are several eminent figures of the Sinister Demon Sect, their bodies steeped in thick demonic aura.

Besides the Sinister Demon Sect and the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, there is also the previously wounded Ancestor of the Xuan Du Teaching, along with several terrifying demon kings whose bodies are steeped in thick demonic aura.

Leading them is a figure clad in black robes, wearing a strange blank mask, his body enveloped in a layer of intense demonic aura, from which emanates an extraordinarily dense spiritual mechanism.

This figure is a prominent figure recruited by the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, the Sinister Demon Sect, and the Yin Yang Demon Palace, known as the Wu Xiang Divine Lord.

He is a renowned giant in the demonic cultivation world.

Together with four other ancient monsters, he is known as one of the Five Demons of the Universe!

This time, the three major demon kinds invited him to jointly preside over this matter with the ancestors of the three major demon sects.

Yet at this moment, he uses his divine power to evolve the topography of Zhong Jin Prefecture, addressing the demonic cultivators:

"……The dragon qi foundation of Great Qian still remains; we are not suited for a strong assault. This time, we shall focus on encircling key points and rescuing allies!

We shall first occupy the government offices of Zhong Jin Prefecture, relying on the prefecture's terrain, following the plan set by myself and the three ancestors, laying out the Ten Directions Severing Dragon Grand Formation to sever the connection between the earth veins of various regions and the Great Qian Dragon Vein!

All major sects shall simultaneously mobilize their forces to rise up from various parts of Great Qian, creating chaos, restraining local powers; the Great Qian Dragon Vein's dragon qi has already weakened, and after this battle, it will surely collapse!"

He then casually pointed out several strategic passes, a strange smile flickering across his face.

"……The Primordial Spirits within the Void Spirit Observatory, along with their allies, having received the news, will soon arrive in succession. We shall choose this place as the decisive battlefield for the Severing Dragon War, adapting to local conditions to set up numerous demonic formations. At that time, we shall not only turn passivity into initiative, but also neutralize part of Great Qian's dragon qi advantage!"

"……Of course, our purpose in this war is only twofold: first, to sever the Great Qian Dragon Vein; second, to as much as possible wear down Great Qian's strong warriors, annihilate their fighting strength, preparing for the second stage by summoning all kinds of smoke and dust, blood traces in Hao Jing, to utterly destroy the foundation of the Qian Dynasty!"

The many demonic Primordial Spirits within the hall nodded silently.

At this moment, the Wu Xiang Divine Lord gazed coldly upon the crowd, his eyes flashing with icy indifference.

"……But in this process, you must achieve several points. If you ruin my plan with the three ancestors, do not blame me for turning against you and refusing to acknowledge you!"

"First, you must not recklessly unleash demonic arts to slaughter the native living beings!"

Upon hearing this, all present—being Primordial Spirits of the heterodox path—had their eyes sink, unable to resist saying in Yin-Yang Dao: "Divine Lord, what do you mean? Could it be that you are still from some orthodox sect?"

This was a Primordial Spirit Ancestor of the White Bone Sect.

The White Bone Sect is a subsidiary sect of the Yin Yang Demon Arts; at this moment, the Yin Yang Demon Palace, together with the other two major demon sects, having reached some unknown agreement, has driven several subsidiary heterodox Primordial Spirits to come here.

These heterodox Primordial Spirits mostly came with the attitude of seeking autumn wind; seeing that they could not even 'strike the autumn wind,' they immediately became displeased, their faces grim. Had they not known how vastly inferior they were to the Wu Xiang Divine Lord, they would have already cursed aloud.

At the head, the Wu Xiang Divine Lord cast his gaze upon them—just a single glance, a surge of magnificent light piercing through the void, directly entering the depths of the White Bone Sect Primordial Spirit's eyes. His expression changed instantly, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

It was as if he had encountered some terrifying transformation; demonic aura surged around his body, and in an instant, his breath dropped by one-third.

His Primordial Spirit was severely wounded!

The Wu Xiang Divine Lord swept his ash-gray eyes over the many demons and monsters, coldly laughing.

"……My words are commands; I do not wish for anyone to continue questioning. Otherwise, do not blame me for applying 'minor punishment, major warning'!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the many demons and monsters changed.

After all, the demonic path has always emphasized the weak being devoured by the strong, with the mighty leading the way.

Moreover, there is also the Bone Demon Ancestor, this 'chicken'!

At that moment, a figure beside them, resembling a bright moon, smiled faintly.

"……Alright, why must everyone be so solemn? Wu Xiang Daoist is doing this to prevent the deities of the State and Ancestral Dao from intervening, and also to lighten everyone's burden!"

"……This place is ultimately not our territory; recklessly slaughtering the human race will invite intervention from the State and Ancestral Dao!"

She spoke up to intervene, simultaneously gesturing for the Bone Demon Ancestor to step aside!

"……The Bone Demon Ancestor, after all, is a person of the Yin Yang Palace; suffering a minor loss is acceptable, and we should not let people be killed without cause!"

Upon hearing this, the many demons and monsters silently nodded.

"……The power of the State and Ancestral Dao must not be underestimated; if we provoke the ancient gods within to act, we shall inevitably face attack from front and rear."

The Hundred Aspects Ancestor sat on the right side, beside him stood the Blood Demon Sect's team leader, the Primordial Spirit True Person Blood Kui Ancestor.

Blood Kui Ancestor is the chief disciple of the Blood Sea Holy Lord, with profound cultivation.

As a peak Pure Yang Primordial Spirit True Person equal to him, he is not far from becoming a Great True Person.

Yet the Wu Xiang Divine Lord continued:

"……Second, you must obey my commands, enforce orders, and not violate the rules……"

"……Third, you must not recklessly destroy human sages and sages, nor divine temple……"

He successively announced several prohibitions.

Finally, he said:

"……Once the Great Qian Dragon Vein collapses, the treasures within it will be like water without source or wood without root—no matter what, they will inevitably surface!

At that time, it will be our moment to seize the treasures!"

"……But before that, you must all unite in effort. I propose that if anyone harbors divided loyalties, flees from battle, the three palaces' demonic Primordial Spirits shall jointly execute them!"

Only then did this black-robed figure sweep his gaze over the crowd, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

The Hundred Aspects Ancestor's turbid yellow eyes brightened at this moment; he was the first to rise, shouting loudly.

"……Good, I, the ancestor, am the first to agree. Whoever dares to flee from battle, ruining our Sinister Demon Holy Sect's great undertaking, we shall jointly execute them!"

He had nearly stumbled in this matter last time, and he gritted his teeth in hatred toward those who fled the battlefield.

Beside him, the Blood Kui Ancestor was enveloped in flowing crimson light, his eyes gleaming with a cold, sinister gleam.

"This seat also agrees! Whoever dares to ruin our Holy Lord's great undertaking is the enemy of the Blood Shadow Holy Sect!"

That figure, pure and flawless as the bright moon, smiled charmingly, glancing over the demons and monsters, and laughed softly: "The Lunar Immortal Palace naturally agrees as well!"

"Whoever refuses to obey the mobilization order is the enemy of the entire Lunar Immortal Palace!"

Seeing the primordial spirits of the three great demon sects declare their allegiance one after another, the Formless Divine Monarch's eyes flickered with a hint of a smile.

Military morale can be relied upon.

With this consensus, it is equivalent to having already won half the battle!

……

Yet within the dragon veins, a towering figure appeared somewhat troubled—this figure naturally being the national guardian powerhouse suppressing the depths of the dragon veins.

He vaguely sensed the changes on the outskirts of Jinzhou, but the 'Northern Star Pearl' in the ruins of Beichen Pass also required his personal attention to resolve.

He was truly stretched thin, unable to divide himself further.
