Chapter 578

"Absolutely not!"

As soon as the proposal of the Immortal Li Xuan Sect Sect Master, Ancestor Ancestor Xuanmu, was put forward, someone in the hall directly spoke out in opposition.

The person opposing was the Sect Master of the Dao Li Xuan Sect, one of the hegemon-level powers of the Southern Region.

His Dao title is Dao Li Xuan.

Hearing Dao Li Xuan speak out in opposition, everyone shifted their gaze from Ancestor Ancestor Xuanmu to Dao Li Xuan.

Sensing everyone's gaze, Dao Li Xuan looked calm and continued:

"The existence of the two-world wormhole passages has indeed caused heavy damage to the living beings of the Di Li Xuan Realm; but in a life-and-death war between two worlds, how could there be no casualties?"

"Moreover, the existence of the two-world wormhole passages is not without benefits."

"Since the appearance of the two-world wormhole passages, while our Di Li Xuan Realm's mid and low-order cultivators have indeed suffered heavy casualties, many cultivators have also stood out from them."

"Not to mention anything else, just the number of Deity Transformation Realm cultivators breaking through to the Void Penetration Realm has increased by about three times compared to before."

"And the growth rate of this data is still steadily increasing."

"These strong experts who rose from the sea of blood will inevitably be one of the main forces for our Di Li Xuan Realm to resist the Green Demon Realm in the future."

"We cannot directly destroy all the wormhole passages opened by the Green Demon Realm just because of the casualties of some mediocre people."

Hearing Dao Li Xuan's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

But the Prefect of the Demon-Suppressing Mansion, one of the hegemon-level powers of the Northern Region, Fu Fu Dingtian, directly questioned:

"But we are destroying the wormhole passages opened by the Green Demon Realm; after destroying them, it does not affect our Di Li Xuan Realm's cultivators entering the Green Demon Realm for training."

"Therefore, destroying all the wormhole passages opened by the Green Demon Realm in the Di Li Xuan Realm should only be beneficial to our Di Li Xuan Realm."

Hearing this, the Sect Master of the Dao Li Xuan Sect, Dao Li Xuan, sneered:

"The Green Demon Realm is not stupid. Once we take action to destroy the wormhole passages opened by the Green Demon Realm, the Green Demon Realm will naturally also take action to destroy the wormhole passages opened by our Di Li Xuan Realm."

"At that time, will our Di Li Xuan Realm's younger generation still be able to enter the Green Demon Realm for training?"

Hearing this, the Prefect of the Demon-Suppressing Mansion, Fu Fu Dingtian, was still a bit puzzled: "In this way, the Green Demon Realm won't gain any advantage either; at most, both sides will fall into a balance again, and our Di Li Xuan Realm won't lose anything, right?"

If possible, Fu Fu Dingtian does not wish to see disasters rampant in the Di Li Xuan Realm.

As long as it does not affect the overall situation, he would rather see the Di Li Xuan Realm return to its previous stability and harmony.

Seeing that the Prefect of the Demon-Suppressing Mansion, Fu Fu Dingtian, kept refuting him, the Sect Master of the Dao Li Xuan Sect, Dao Li Xuan, was not angry.

After all, everyone participating in this meeting is doing so to determine a better development path for the Di Li Xuan Realm and to accelerate the pace of the Di Li Xuan Realm's promotion to a Great Thousand World.

However, after hearing the words of the Prefect of the Demon-Suppressing Mansion, Fu Fu Dingtian, Dao Li Xuan still intended to stick to his opinion.

Just as Dao Li Xuan slightly opened his mouth to say something, a deep voice suddenly sounded from another direction: "I actually agree with the opinion of Fellow Daoist Dao Li Xuan."

The person who spoke was the Sect Master of the Heaven Sect, a hegemon-level power, Bei Bei Mingzi.

Like the Dao Li Xuan Sect, the Heaven Sect is also one of the three major hegemon-level powers of the Southern Region.

Pausing for a moment to attract everyone's attention, Bei Bei Mingzi continued to explain:

"If all the two-world wormhole passages are destroyed, it seems that the living beings in the Di Li Xuan Realm and the Green Demon Realm have returned to peace and are still in a state of balance."

"But have you all thought about it? The Green Demon Race is inherently bloodthirsty and warlike, while the character of our human race is more inclined towards peace and joy."

"In times of peace, in terms of growth speed alone, most humans cannot compare to the Green Demon Race."

"Before the two worlds bordered and fought completely, the interior of the Green Demon Realm was already a scene of chaos and survival of the fittest; death is just the norm for the Green Demon Race living in the Green Demon Realm."

"And the Di Li Xuan Realm has the order we have jointly established; although there is also chaos and fighting, it is more inclined towards harmony."

"The reason why our Di Li Xuan Realm can contend with the Green Demon Realm is that we rely more on the foundation of strong experts accumulated over long years."

"If it were before the war with the Green Demon Realm, letting the Di Li Xuan Realm return to harmony would naturally be fine."

"But now we have already started a war with the Green Demon Realm, and it is a life-and-death Dao struggle."

"Now, outside our human borders, there are many high-order cultivators fighting, and both our human race and the Green Demon Race have casualties."

"Born in sorrow, die in peace!"

"If all the two-world wormhole passages are destroyed at this time, allowing the Di Li Xuan Realm to return to a state of harmony."

"The Green Demon Realm will certainly be affected, but our Di Li Xuan Realm will be affected even more; over time, most of our human race's younger generation will inevitably be content with the status quo and completely slack off."

"At that time, the growth speed of the future new generation of human cultivators will inevitably lag behind the Green Demon Race."

"Once the birth rate of our high-order cultivators lags behind the Green Demon Realm, as one falls and the other rises, we will very likely fall into a disadvantage when contending with the Green Demon Realm in the future."

"At that time..."

After finishing, Bei Bei Mingzi paused for a moment, scanned the crowd, and warned:

"This concerns the survival of the Di Li Xuan Realm in the future; it cannot tolerate the slightest slack, and I hope you will consider it carefully."

At this time, Dao Li Xuan no longer had any intention to speak, because Bei Bei Mingzi's words coincided with his own.

And the others, including Fu Fu Dingtian, fell into silence after hearing Bei Bei Mingzi's words.

Because Bei Bei Mingzi's words were not alarmist.

As far as they know, even after the war with the Di Li Xuan Realm started, the Green Demon Realm did not completely prohibit fighting within the Green Demon Realm.

Up to now, the Green Demon Realm has not even placed many restrictions on strong experts of the Void Penetration Realm.

Only the Green Demon Race at the Void Meditation Realm and above are constrained by the Green Demon Realm Alliance and are not allowed to fight each other at will.

In this way, while the death rate of mid and low-order Green Demon Race cultivators will remain high, the probability of high-order cultivators being born will definitely increase significantly.

You must know that before the war with the Di Li Xuan Realm, if it weren't for the fact that high-order cultivators in the Green Demon Realm often fought internally, frequently erupted into life-and-death battles, and high-order Green Demon Race members fell from time to time.

The number of high-order cultivators in the Di Li Xuan Realm now might really not be comparable to the Green Demon Realm.

After all two-world passages are destroyed, the Di Li Xuan Realm might also be able to copy the "insect-raising" model of the Green Demon Realm.

But "those who imitate me live, those who resemble me die."

The chaotic order of the Green Demon Realm was formed because the Green Demon Race is bloodthirsty and warlike; if the Di Li Xuan Realm forcibly copies the Green Demon Realm's model, it might only be counterproductive.

After the Green Demon Realm prohibited internal fighting among strong experts above the Void Penetration Realm, coupled with the "insect-raising" model for mid and low-level cultivators in the Green Demon Realm, if their Di Li Xuan Realm directly indulges the human race in a state of peace, in the long run, the speed at which the human race gives birth to strong experts will lag behind the Green Demon Race.

This is also the reason why the Sect Master of the Dao Li Xuan Sect, Dao Li Xuan, and the Sect Master of the Heaven Sect, Bei Bei Mingzi, refused Ancestor Ancestor Xuanmu's proposal to destroy all two-world wormhole passages.

Just as everyone fell into silence, the Prefect of the Haotian Mansion, one of the hegemon-level powers of the Northern Region, Zhang Zhang Haoran, spoke faintly:

"However, if the living beings within the Di Li Xuan Realm fall in large numbers, I am afraid it will also delay the progress of the Di Li Xuan Realm's promotion to a Great Thousand World, right?"

"Moreover, sitting by and watching the large-scale fall of our human younger generation, this lord's Dao heart is uneasy!"

"This..."

Hearing the words of the Prefect of the Haotian Mansion, Zhang Zhang Haoran.

The Sect Master of the Dao Li Xuan Sect, Dao Li Xuan, and the Sect Master of the Heaven Sect, Bei Bei Mingzi, who had been opposing the destruction of the two-world wormhole passages, could not help but hesitate.

Because what the Prefect of the Haotian Mansion, Zhang Zhang Haoran, said was not without basis.

The living beings of heaven and earth are part of the Di Li Xuan Realm; if large-scale falling occurs, it will weaken the power of the Di Li Xuan Realm to a certain extent.

If the Di Li Xuan Realm wants to successfully promote to a Great Thousand World, it needs long-term accumulation in all aspects, which might include the power contributed by the living beings of heaven and earth.

For a time, the great hall fell into silence again; everyone began to ponder, seriously thinking about the direction the Di Li Xuan Realm should develop in the future.

Bei Bei Mingzi was right about one thing.

Any decision they make today concerns the survival of the Di Li Xuan Realm in the future and indeed cannot tolerate the slightest slack.

After half a cup of tea, Cen Zhe, who had not spoken, suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes and spoke slowly:

"Perhaps we can selectively destroy the wormhole passages opened by the Green Demon Realm, instead of destroying all the wormhole passages in one go."

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Cen Zhe, please elaborate."

Hearing Cen Zhe's words, Master Master Lingxiao's expression moved, showing an interested look.

And Ancestor Ancestor Xuanmu, Fu Fu Dingtian, Zhang Zhang Haoran, Dao Li Xuan, Bei Bei Mingzi, and others showed thoughtful expressions in their eyes.

Sensing everyone's expression, Cen Zhe did not keep them in suspense and directly stated his thoughts: "When we destroy the wormhole passages opened by the Green Demon Realm, we can leave three or four large provinces in the nine regions of the Di Li Xuan Realm and retain the wormhole passages opened by the Green Demon Realm within them."

"Then migrate all the mortals out of these large provinces; as for the cultivators within them, they can stay or leave as they please."

"In the future, these large provinces where the Green Demon Race can invade at will can serve as training grounds for the mid and low-order cultivators within our Di Li Xuan Realm."

"In this way, the losses of our Di Li Xuan Realm can be controlled within a certain range."

"And the Di Li Xuan Realm is too big; even if we go all out, we might not be able to find and destroy all the wormhole passages opened by the Green Demon Realm within the Di Li Xuan Realm."

"At that time, traces of the Green Demon Race will still appear from time to time in various parts of the Di Li Xuan Realm, constantly alerting the younger generation of human cultivators."

"Combining the two, there is no need to worry about our human younger generation falling into peace and slowing down their growth speed in the future."

"However, once we take action, the Green Demon Race will inevitably react and might reduce the frequency of using some wormhole passages; at that time, the difficulty for us to find these wormhole passages will inevitably increase significantly."

"Therefore, in order to avoid the traces of the Green Demon Race appearing too frequently in other areas of the Di Li Xuan Realm in the future, this lord suggests that we try our best to find the wormhole passages opened by the Green Demon Realm before starting the destruction action."

Speaking of this, Cen Zhe pondered for a moment and continued:

"In addition, we must find a way to preserve some of the wormhole passages we have opened in the Green Demon Realm."

"Once we take action here and start destroying the wormhole passages opened by the Green Demon Realm in our Di Li Xuan Realm, I am afraid the Green Demon Realm will immediately retaliate."

"But I have to say, the existence of wormhole passages and going to the Green Demon Realm for training will indeed cause large-scale casualties among our human younger generation, but in this process, many strong experts will also be tempered."

"Therefore, the wormhole passages we have opened in the Green Demon Realm are still necessary to preserve."

"So we need to be prepared in advance; when the Green Demon Realm starts to destroy the wormhole passages we have opened in the Green Demon Realm, we should preserve as many of them as possible to prepare for the future training of the human younger generation in the Green Demon Realm."

Hearing Cen Zhe's suggestion, Master Master Lingxiao could not help but nod: "Fellow Daoist Cen Zhe's proposal is good."

"As for preserving some of the wormhole passages we have opened in the Green Demon Realm, it is not difficult if we are prepared in advance."

"As long as no one enters or exits, it will naturally not be so easy for the Green Demon Race to find the wormhole passages we have opened in the Green Demon Realm."

"Therefore, while we are searching for the wormhole passages opened by the Green Demon Realm in the Di Li Xuan Realm, we can selectively seal some of the wormhole passages we have opened in the Green Demon Realm and temporarily prohibit cultivators of the Di Li Xuan Realm from entering at will."

"In this way, when the Green Demon Realm reacts and starts to destroy the wormhole passages we have opened in the Green Demon Realm, this part of the wormhole passages will likely be preserved."

"After the Green Demon Realm's large-scale wormhole destruction action ends, we will reactivate these wormhole passages."

"However, we still cannot use these wormhole passages frequently at that time; we can choose to use them once a month and send all the cultivators who want to go to the Green Demon Realm for training at a specific time."

Speaking of this, Master Master Lingxiao scanned the circle and smiled slightly:

"I suppose the forces you fellow daoists belong to have already opened many secret strongholds in the Green Demon Realm with the help of the Spirit-Purifying Tree over these years, right?"

"When sealing the wormhole passages, in addition to those that will be open to the public in the future, you fellow daoists can also seal some wormhole passages that are close to these strongholds in the Green Demon Realm and not open them to the public, or even the forces you belong to should not use them easily unless necessary."

"Once we take action here and the Green Demon Realm starts to destroy the wormhole passages we have opened in the Green Demon Realm, I don't know how long those publicly opened wormholes can be preserved."

"Therefore, we need to seal some wormhole passages that are not open to the public and try our best to ensure that these wormhole passages are permanently fixed in the Green Demon Realm to prepare for future confrontations with the Green Demon Realm."

After finishing, Master Master Lingxiao scanned the circle again and asked: "I wonder what you fellow daoists think of the proposal of Fellow Daoist Cen Zhe and myself?"

Hearing this, many Mahayana Realm strong experts pondered for a moment and began to agree one after another: "I agree with the proposal of the two fellow daoists."

"Feasible!"

"It is beneficial to the future development of the Di Li Xuan Realm; I also agree."

"Good! In this way, we can take the initiative on the issue of the retention of wormhole passages, which is excellent."

"Agreed!"

"Since that is the case, I have no objection."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Master Master Lingxiao nodded and said: "Since you fellow daoists all agree, then let the follow-up processing plan for the two-world wormhole passages be decided this way!"

Saying this, Master Master Lingxiao paused for a moment and continued:

"Next, let's discuss the second proposal. I am prepared to integrate all the lower realms into the Di Li Xuan Realm and invade the affiliated worlds of the Green Demon Realm to let the Di Li Xuan Realm devour them."

"I wonder what you fellow daoists think?"
