Chapter 102
Just as Su Chen was considering subsequent cultivation, a little demon responsible for intelligence ran in hurriedly from outside.
After the Demon Alliance was established, Su Chen set about building an intelligence network specifically to collect news from all over the Three Realms.
Those responsible for gathering news were all inconspicuous little demons, such as ground rats, birds, etc., spread across the four continents.
"Advisor, there is urgent intelligence from the Southern Chanbuzhou!" The little demon ran to Su Chen and respectfully handed over a jade slip.
Su Chen took the jade slip and probed his spiritual sense into it.
A moment later, he opened his eyes abruptly, his eyes full of shock.
"How is this possible?"
The intelligence in the jade slip left him stunned.
The intelligence said that in recent years, on the Central Plains of the Southern Chanbuzhou, a force named "Qian" had risen abruptly, sweeping across the fragmented feudal lords with the force of a landslide, and was about to complete the unification of the world.
This was not a strange thing; the change of dynasties in the human world happened every few hundred years.
But the key was that the emperor of this Great Qian Dynasty was named Li Chengqian!
Moreover, the intelligence also emphasized that this Great Qian Emperor was not a mortal, but a top expert who had entered the Dao through martial arts, with unfathomable strength, and was honored by his subjects as "Wu Xian"!
Li Chengqian... Wu Xian...
Su Chen instantly remembered the teenager he met in a ruined temple when he passed through the Southern Chanbuzhou when he first came to Flower Fruit Mountain.
The teenager who, although in rags, had bright eyes and a heart that wanted to clear the universe and open peace for all people.
"Is it really him?" A monstrous wave rose in Su Chen's heart.
He never expected that his whim to pass down a "True Explanation of Martial Dao" would actually be walked into a path to heaven by that teenager!
How long has it been?
He actually went from a teenager with no power to truss a chicken to a "Wu Xian" and established an imperial dynasty that was about to unify the world?
Su Chen's heart was in a mess.
"This Li Chengqian, and this Great Qian Dynasty, don't seem to have this dynasty in my memory of my previous life. Is this because my actions changed the karma?"
"I didn't expect that I just felt this person was quite extraordinary and gave him a casual point, and he actually walked the path of 'man conquering heaven'."
Su Chen felt that the direction of the Journey to the West was becoming more and more chaotic and incomprehensible because of his arrival.
No, he must go and see this matter for himself.
The karma he formed with Li Chengqian back then was too great; a "True Explanation of Martial Dao" was almost equivalent to the grace of opening the Dao.
Now that Li Chengqian had made such a big scene, he could not sit idly by.
Having made up his mind, Su Chen immediately found Sun Wukong.
"Monkey brother, I have to go out." Su Chen said straight to the point.
"Brother, where are you going?" Sun Wukong was gnawing on a peach, and when he heard this, he asked immediately.
"To the Southern Chanbuzhou, something happened to the humans there, I have to go and see for myself." Su Chen explained simply. "I have already arranged things here in the Demon Alliance; the daily training and affairs are the responsibility of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Demon Kings. You and Bull big brother just keep an eye on it. Remember, stability is the priority. If there is any movement from the Heavenly Court, don't be impulsive, wait for me to come back."
"Okay, brother, go ahead. With me, old Sun, in the Demon Alliance, nothing will happen." Sun Wukong patted his chest and guaranteed. "But you must come back early; without you here, I, old Sun, don't feel at ease."
"Don't worry, I'll go and come back quickly." Su Chen nodded.
After explaining to Sun Wukong, Su Chen went to greet the Bull Demon King and other Great Sages and arranged everything properly.
After doing all this, he did not delay any longer, turned into a stream of light, left Flower Fruit Mountain, and galloped toward the Southern Chanbuzhou.
But he had a premonition in his heart that this trip to the Southern Chanbuzhou would probably not be so simple.
And just before Su Chen received the news of the Southern Chanbuzhou, the Heavenly Court had learned long ago that a unified imperial dynasty was about to appear again in the Central Plains of the Southern Chanbuzhou.
More than ten days ago, in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Jade Emperor sat high on the throne.
The Haotian Mirror appeared in front of him, and the scene of the Southern Continent was displayed in the mirror.
I saw a vast and majestic red luck rising into the sky like wolf smoke, condensing into a lifelike giant dragon, entrenched above the Central Plains, looking down on all directions.
In that luck, it was full of fierce, domineering, and self-improving will, but there was not a trace of awe for gods and Buddhas.
"Your Majesty, the human luck in the Southern Chanbuzhou has changed suddenly, and a mortal dynasty named 'Qian' is about to unify the Central Plains." Clairvoyant bowed and reported, his voice trembling slightly. "Its ruler Li Chengqian has entered the Dao through martial arts, gathered human luck in himself, called himself 'Wu Xian', and promoted the theory of 'man conquering heaven' in the country, forbidding all sacrifices to gods and Buddhas."
"Presumptuous!" The Jade Emperor slammed the imperial desk and was furious.
"A mere mortal emperor, daring to be so arrogant and despise the heavenly majesty!"
The immortals and gods below were also in an uproar, whispering to each other.
"Is this mortal emperor crazy? Daring to disrespect gods and Buddhas?"
"Entering the Dao through martial arts? Mortal martial arts, no matter how strong, can it be stronger than our immortal methods?"
"This matter is no small matter! The Southern Chanbuzhou is the place where our Heavenly Court teaches, and human incense is an important source of our Heavenly Court's luck. If everyone believes in that 'man conquering heaven' and no longer worships us, in the long run, our Heavenly Court's luck will surely decline, and our divine power will also decrease."
The severity of this matter even exceeded the establishment of the Demon Alliance before.
Human faith is the basic plate of the Heavenly Court's rule.
An imperial dynasty that does not believe in gods and Buddhas and only believes in itself is simply digging the roots of the Heavenly Court!
At this time, the Wu De Xing Jun, who was responsible for human soldiers and weapons, stood out and said righteously: "Your Majesty, this trend must not grow! This Great Qian Emperor Li Chengqian is shaking the foundation of our Heavenly Court's rule. I request to descend to the mortal world immediately and kill that arrogant Wu Xian emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty!"
"Right! Those who do not respect the Heavenly Court should be killed!"
The immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court were all filled with righteous indignation.
Killing intent was also revealed in the Jade Emperor's eyes.
He was indeed moved to kill.
Humans are the protagonists of the Three Realms today and also the source of incense for immortals and gods.
He would never allow an imperial dynasty of humans to appear that was out of control and even dared to challenge the authority of the Heavenly Court.
However, just as he was about to give the order, Taibai Jinxing stood out tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
The Jade Emperor frowned at him and said unhappily: "Taibai Jinxing, it's you again. Last time it was you who messed up the demon monkey matter, what do you have to say this time?"
