Chapter 454: The Anomaly of the Purgatory Space! Chu Yang

Why has Chu Yang been staying in the Great Xia Dynasty during this period, and also had Yaofeng pay close attention to the situation of various lower planes?

Because he knew very well that the Outer Evil Tribe had probably learned about his plan to upgrade the Great Thousand Demon-Suppressing Array.

This kind of thing could not be hidden, because the Great Thousand World was not monolithic, and even among the top powerhouses, there must be moles.

To give the simplest example, take Qin Tian...

If it weren't for Chu Yang's intervention, Qin Tian would have been planted with a Heart Demon Seed by the Heart Demon Emperor without knowing it, even if he had reached the late Saint Product, he would not have noticed.

The Outer Evil Tribe had many ways to control a powerhouse in the Great Thousand World.

Of course

On this point, Chu Yang and the Undying Lord were both well aware, and they maintained an unspoken, invisible tacit understanding.

Why did the Undying Lord visit each of the top factions one by one?

It was precisely to allow the "moles" that might exist within these factions to pass the information on to the Outer Evil Tribe.

Otherwise, if the pit was dug but the enemy didn't jump in voluntarily, wouldn't it all be a wasted effort? Of course, the detailed content of the plan could naturally not be told to everyone; the Undying Lord only said that Chu Yang wanted to upgrade the Great Thousand Demon-Subduing Array, and then, one year later, wipe out the Heavenly Evil God's life imprint in one fell swoop.

As for the rest of the matters, the vast majority of the factions knew nothing at all.

The people who knew the truth could be counted on one's fingers.

For example, Qin Tian, the three late-stage Saint Product experts of the Dragon and Phoenix clans, the Green-Shirt Sword Saint, that late-stage Saint Product Grandmaster of Spiritual Arrays, as well as the Heaven-Reaching Great Ape King and the Kunpeng Ancestor.

Actually, come to think of it, as long as these people who represented the strongest combat power of the Great Thousand World knew the specific situation, that was already enough.

Because they were the key to deciding the victory or defeat; the remaining factions and experts were at most only dealing with those low-to-mid-level evil tribes and providing spiritual power support for upgrading the Great Thousand Demon-Subduing Array.

Once the Evil Tribe learned the news, they would inevitably take action, because even if they knew the Heavenly Evil God had been sealed by the Immortal Emperor on purpose back then, they would not dare to risk his life.

The Heavenly Evil God doing this could actually be considered a risky move, because after being sealed, if he could not successfully break the seal, it was indeed possible for his life imprint to be completely wiped out.

Chu Yang was not exactly releasing false information, because if he wanted to strangle the Heavenly Evil God, he could fully achieve it by relying on the upgraded Great Thousand Demon-Subduing Array.

But as the saying goes, he wanted the original evil qi after the Heavenly Evil God recovered to his peak, and at the same time, he was confident he could defeat and kill the Heavenly Evil God in his peak state.

Of course, he certainly could not reveal this situation to the experts of the Great Thousand World, otherwise, he would inevitably be condemned by everyone.

When there was a clear opportunity to directly strangle the Heavenly Evil God, but he chose to let the opponent go, many people would feel this was an unnecessary move.

The Great Thousand World was the main source of Chu Yang's future faith power, so he still had to cherish his own reputation.

After arriving at the Sword Domain, Chu Yang went directly to Qingyun Peak.

However, this time the Green-Shirt Sword Saint did not come out in person; an old man greeted Chu Yang.

The old man had short hair like pine needles, a ruddy complexion, an upright posture, and a surging aura.

This was clearly a Saint Product Heavenly Sovereign!

Although he was only at the early stage of Saint Product, Chu Yang could see that this person likely had no match among those in the same realm and could only contend with mid-stage Saint Product experts.

"Teacher knew that King Chu would come, so he had me waiting here long ago!"

The old man led Chu Yang into the courtyard and said humbly: "Teacher said that last time, after King Chu's guidance, he benefited greatly. Not long ago, under the influence of the Great Saint and the Heavenly Emperor's aura, he felt that his realm had loosened..."

"So he could not come to greet you in person, please forgive him, King Chu!"

Listening to the old man's words, Chu Yang was slightly surprised.

How old was the Green-Shirt Sword Saint? Although one could not judge by appearance, from the time he became famous to dominating a region, and then to becoming a giant, until today, it had definitely not been more than three hundred years!

Yet Chu Yang could see that this old man was at least a thousand years old. Which of the experts who could cultivate to the Saint Product was not a genius? And which one was not proud and arrogant?

Willing to take a junior as a teacher—he didn't know if it was the old man's extraordinary courage and bearing, or the Green-Shirt Sword Saint's personal charisma. Seeming to see Chu Yang's surprise, the old man laughed and said: "King Chu is amused. This old man specialized in the path of spiritual arrays in his early years, wasting hundreds of years, yet still failed to break through to Heavenly Sovereign."

"I thought that in my whole life, I would never be able to go any further, until I met Teacher."

"I gave up spiritual arrays, turned to the sword path, and under Teacher's guidance, I achieved my current accomplishments in just two hundred years."

Speaking of this, the old man's expression was somewhat emotional, his eyes full of admiration for the Green-Shirt Sword Saint.

At the same time, the way he looked at Chu Yang became increasingly respectful.

Because in his view, his teacher's sword path attainments were already shocking, yet Chu Yang could guide his teacher in the sword path, and even make his teacher have insights—this was simply incredible.

"Old sir, you need not belittle yourself. I presume that if you had practiced the sword path since childhood, your achievements would definitely not be low."

Chu Yang smiled and said: "Senior Sword Saint only played the role of a guide..."

The old man did not answer, but smiled and said: "Teacher said that as long as King Chu comes, you can enter the Purgatory Space at any time."

"At the same time, the Sword Domain will seal off the Purgatory Space; no matter what happens, no one will disturb King Chu."

"In addition, no one except me will know that King Chu has entered the Purgatory Space."

Chu Yang gave the old man a meaningful look. The Green-Shirt Sword Saint was more like a sword fanatic and rarely put his mind into social niceties.

It was not that he didn't understand social niceties, but he was obsessed with the sword and unwilling to be distracted.

From this, it could also be seen that when Chu Yang first arrived at the Sword Domain last time, the Green-Shirt Sword Saint's clever way of building momentum for him showed that he valued him to the extreme.

As for the current situation...

It was likely eighty percent the old man's arrangement!

Thinking of this, Chu Yang couldn't help but think of Tang Huo'er.

In a sense, he and the Green-Shirt Sword Saint seemed very similar...

Both had taken on a capable disciple, then handed over the management of the faction to the disciple, and became hands-off masters themselves.

Putting away his thoughts, Chu Yang asked: "During this period, has there been any abnormality in the Purgatory Space?"

Ever since the Demon-Slaying Plan ended, Chu Yang had let the Fire Spirit enter the Purgatory Space.

Although the Purgatory Space could not accommodate experts at the Heavenly Sovereign realm, don't forget...

The origin of the Four Saint Spirits all came from Chu Yang!

Although they were relatively independent, in a fundamental sense, they were still a part of Chu Yang.

So as long as Chu Yang had a thought, he could take back their power. Thus, he directly suppressed the Fire Spirit's realm to the Earth Sovereign Great Perfection, which allowed her to enter the Purgatory Space.

But the Fire Spirit's true cultivation was, after all, late-stage Saint Product; even if her realm was suppressed to Earth Sovereign Great Perfection, her strength could not be underestimated.

Not to mention that she mastered the Peerless Imperial Flame and had obtained the royal bloodline of the Phoenix Clan? In this situation, let alone those Fire Demon Kings who were only at the early stage of Spiritual Product Heavenly Sovereign, even against peak Spiritual Product experts, the Fire Spirit had the power to fight.

After hearing Chu Yang's question, the old man's brows furrowed slightly, appearing somewhat hesitant.

After thinking for a moment, he said with an embarrassed expression: "To tell the truth, King Chu, there have indeed been some changes in the Purgatory Space recently."

"Those fire demons seem to have fallen into a frenzy, killing anyone they see; they no longer target only the experts of the Great Thousand World, and they don't even spare the Outer Evil Tribe."

"This was originally a good thing for us, but the overall strength of the Fire Demon Clan has greatly increased, and the number of Fire Demon Kings is also growing."

Speaking of this, the old man sighed and said: "The Sword Domain has dispatched many Earth Sovereigns, but they have never been able to find the source, nor can they curb the development of the Fire Demon Clan."

"Fortunately, these special creatures have low intelligence; otherwise, whether it was us or the Evil Tribe, I'm afraid we would have had to abandon this battlefield..."

The old man paused, bowed deeply to Chu Yang, and said in a deep voice: "Teacher said that King Chu has a way to enter the Purgatory Space without causing spatial turbulence."

"I ask King Chu to take action to quell the fire demon chaos; the entire Sword Domain will be eternally grateful!"

"In the future, if King Chu has any needs, the Sword Domain will definitely provide full support!"

Chu Yang gave the old man another meaningful look, feeling more and more that this was a smart man.

If the chaos of the Fire Demon Clan continued to ferment, it would certainly cause the Purgatory Space battlefield to become a forbidden zone for both sides.

By then, as long as both sides did not intend to completely tear off the mask, they would only be able to abandon the competition at this border.

Having one less border conflict was actually a good thing for the Outer Evil Tribe.

Because they would no longer need to worry about the pressure of this border and could concentrate their power on other battlefields.

The Outer Evil Tribe had a strict hierarchy; as long as the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor gave an order, all clans would abandon all interests and accept deployment immediately.

But for the Great Thousand World, it was just the opposite!

The Sword Domain had been entrenched in the eastern border for many years and was already deeply rooted; even if they wanted to relocate, it would take a lot of effort.

The main thing was...

No matter which border the Sword Domain went to, it would be unable to relieve the pressure on the other two borders.

For example, splitting the Sword Domain and letting them break into pieces to support the three borders separately? Out of righteousness, the Green-Shirt Sword Saint might do so, but where there are people, there is a world of conflict, and where there are people, there are disputes over interests.

At that time, friction and contradictions would inevitably arise between the local forces and these foreign reinforcements.

Facing the Outer Evil Tribe, everyone might hold back, but in the long run, big problems would arise sooner or later.

So from any angle, if the problem of the Fire Demon Clan in the Purgatory Space could not be solved, it would have a huge negative impact.

And as it stood, the only person who could solve this matter was Chu Yang.

Yet the old man did not try to use moral kidnapping, but was instead willing to let the entire Sword Domain owe Chu Yang a favor.

The more favors exchanged, the closer the relationship between the two sides would become, which was actually a good thing for the Sword Domain.

At the same time, it would not cause Chu Yang's resentment; it could be said to be killing many birds with one stone.

"Old sir, your mind is exquisite. After this matter is over, I will let Huo'er come to the Sword Domain to communicate with you," Chu Yang said with a smile.

Although Tang Huo'er could be considered a genius in management, she was crossing the river by feeling the stones after all. Chu Yang had provided many advanced concepts, but he could not be considered a qualified guide.

Letting her come to this old man to learn from his experience would surely be very beneficial.

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he laughed dryly: "King Chu has eyes like torches; my meager skills are really a bit of showing off before an expert..."

He had not expected that Chu Yang would see through his thoughts at a glance.

Chu Yang waved his hand and said: "Don't worry! Leave this matter to me!"

"The Sword Domain can prepare. The moment I solve the Fire Demon Clan, we can launch a surprise attack against the Outer Evil Tribe, and we will definitely catch them off guard."

The old man's eyes lit up suddenly; he did not doubt Chu Yang's words at all.

Because in his view, the situation in the Purgatory Space was really not worth mentioning to this omnipotent King Chu.

After all, with Chu Yang's strength, even if he couldn't find the root of the problem, he could completely kill all the Fire Demon Kings.

Chu Yang stayed in the Sword Domain for a day and gave the old man some guidance on the sword path.

When he left, the old man already admired him to the point of prostration, even regarding him as a celestial being.

Originally, the old man felt that after missing the best time for cultivation, reaching the early Saint Product realm after switching to the sword path was already his limit.

But after Chu Yang's guidance, he vaguely felt that he might be able to challenge the mid-stage Saint Product...

At the same time, he also made up his mind that when that Great Xia Empress came to communicate with him, he would definitely teach her all his experience in managing a faction.

Give a peach, return a plum! As for why Chu Yang wanted to do this? Actually, even if the Great Xia Empire continued to grow and develop in the future, Tang Huo'er's ability would be enough to preside over the overall situation.

But Chu Yang's ambition was not just one Shenzhou Continent! How could he collect the faith power of a world to the greatest extent?

First, he himself must be worshipped as a god by all living beings! Second, he must let everyone feel the benefits brought by his faith in their daily lives at all times.

Chu Yang wanted the Great Xia Empire to rule the entire Great Thousand World, establish laws and rules, and provide protection for ordinary people and low-level cultivators.

Because he knew very well that after he solved the Heavenly Evil God and the Evil Tribe, the faith power provided by experts from all sides would form a stable supply chain.

Saving a world and destroying an external enemy would naturally be respected by people.

For ordinary people and low-level cultivators, even if the sky fell, it would have nothing to do with them, so they wouldn't have much of a feeling.

But don't underestimate the faith power of these people; although the faith power they provided was weak, there were a huge number of them!

And compared to unifying the faith of the Super God Universe, unifying the faith of the Great Thousand World was countless times easier.

By that time, Chu Yang would naturally not preside over the overall situation in person; all the burdens would fall on Tang Huo'er.

Beloved disciple, you will also be willing to share the worries for your master... right? (End of chapter)
