Chapter 95

After settling the karma with Hou Zhao, Lu Chengtong felt both his body and mind had been relaxed.

He was a person who truly did not like owing others karma.

Now, it was finally paid off.

After this, he only had one goal left: to make the Lu Family an immortal clan that would last for ten thousand generations.

The news obtained from Piaoxue Tower caused great unease to arise in Lu Chengtong's heart.

The demon race had been planning the war for at least a thousand years, creating numerous organizations and arranging a large number of spies for this purpose, and they had even acquired a massive amount of evolutionary resources some time ago.

Analyzing from various signs, the demon race had made full preparations, while the human side had started the war in a rush; comparing the two, the results were not optimistic.

According to the current battle results, the human race seemed to be sweeping forward all the way after starting the war, with the demon race retreating steadily.

But it was precisely because of this that Lu Chengtong felt something was wrong.

Before the two sides officially started the war, the demon race's posture had been aggressive, but now they had suddenly become weak; it could not be that they were scared by the killing.

There was only one possibility: this was a strategy.

And Lu Chengtong believed that the Three Great Immortal Sects could not be unaware of such superficial things; they might have some way of responding, it just depended on what the final trump cards of both sides were.

Regardless of which side won, for Lu Chengtong himself, he could remain safe and sound.

With the 【Embryonic Transformation】 supernatural power, even if the demon race won in the end, he could transform into a demon and blend in among them.

But, Jiuyuzi and the others could not do this.

For this reason, he still needed to make some preparations.

The three branches that had previously developed as the Cheng, Lu, and Guan families had a relatively large population, and he believed that even if they encountered a catastrophe, it would not lead to the severance of their bloodline.

However, the children of Song Yushu's branch were still very young and could not form a family, so they needed a secure environment.

After thinking it over repeatedly, he decided to make a backup plan.

The method used for the Piaoxue Tower's base was very good: choose an island overseas, set up an isolation array, and stay away from the war; regardless of the outcome, they could be preserved.

Thinking of it, he did it; although Lu Chengtong had destroyed Piaoxue Tower, he had still left an array marker nearby.

Arriving at the ocean, he began to search for islands further away.

After searching for half a month, he finally found a decent place.

This island was not large, but the Spirit Qi was quite rich; it could be observed that a Spirit Vein had appeared on the island, and although there were very few Spirit Stones and it was not enough to be called a Spirit Vein, it was indeed a blessed land.

There were no powerful demonic beasts on or around the island, and the most powerful ones were only at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He used an array to isolate the island, then cleaned it up, created a small mountain on the island, and built a cave abode on the mountain.

Once everything was settled, he told Jiuyuzi about this place.

"As righteous practitioners, if there is a great disaster, we will not shrink back, but these bloodlines are still young. I propose we find an opportunity to pretend to send them away and secretly transfer them to this Thunder Spirit Island to maintain our heritage."

Lu Chengtong held Jiuyuzi's body and said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Jiuyuzi thought for a moment and did not feel there was anything inappropriate; she also cherished these grandchildren dearly and did not want them to suffer a catastrophe. Now that Lu Chengtong had provided a very good plan, she naturally would not refuse.

"Everything shall be as Senior Brother says!"

The two had been together for many years, but Jiuyuzi still liked to call him Senior Brother; this counted as a little bit of affection between the two.

It was just that Lu Chengtong, this fake Senior Brother, had felt a bit guilty when he first heard it, but now he was already used to it.

It was just a term of endearment; now, he was her dear Senior Brother.

They even had six grandchildren!

Over the next few days, the husband and wife successively completed the transfer of these children, including their mothers.

Although the new place lacked some friends and companions, they were arranged with a fulfilling cultivation plan, so they would not have any idle time to run around.

And just as they had finished settling these descendants, a piece of news arrived.

When a Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarch of the Qiankun Immortal Sect was undergoing his third tribulation, he was ambushed by the demon race, resulting in the failure of the tribulation, the annihilation of his physical body, the shattering of his Golden Core, and the escape of his primordial spirit to an unknown location!

A cultivator undergoing tribulation needs to pass through three heavenly tribulations in total.

Upon reaching the perfection of the Dao Integration Realm, one undergoes the first tribulation, called the One-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, consisting of nine tribulation thunders; after passing it, one can be called a First-Turn Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarch.

A cultivator reaching the perfection of the Dao Integration Realm can obtain five thousand years of lifespan, and after becoming a First-Turn Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarch, one can directly increase their lifespan by one thousand years, totaling six thousand years.

Thereafter, continuing to cultivate, the second tribulation, the Two-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, consists of eighteen tribulation thunders; after passing it, one becomes a Second-Turn Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarch, increasing lifespan by another one thousand years.

Then comes the third tribulation, the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation; after this tribulation, there are no more heavenly tribulations, and with cultivation perfected, one can attempt to step into the Great Vehicle Realm.

When a cultivator undergoes tribulation, the greatest taboo is being disturbed, let alone the demon race intentionally causing trouble.

This directly led to the loss of one of the three Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarchs originally possessed by the human race.

Within this Northern Wasteland Domain, the power balance between the demon race and the human race had actually been maintaining a delicate equilibrium.

Wanyin Mountain possessed four great demons of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm; many years ago—the specific time was no longer recorded in detail—the three human Tribulation Transcendence experts fought against the four great Demon Emperors of Wanyin Mountain, and the result was that the three human Tribulation Transcendence experts had the upper hand.

Therefore, for these years, the human race had always occupied the dominant position.

But it was very clear that now one of the three pillars of the human race had been broken; could the remaining two still suppress the demon race?

Very soon, this question had an answer.

The real demon chaos had begun!

One human sect after another was wiped out by the powerful demon army, and just one month later, another huge piece of bad news spread among the human race.

The Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarchs of the other two major immortal sects, besides the Qiankun Immortal Sect, had met with misfortune.

The four Demon Emperors of the demon race besieged the Heavenly Monarchs of the two major immortal sects; one Demon Emperor died, but the Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarch of the Dongli Immortal Sect also died, and the remaining Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarch of the Yuhua Immortal Sect escaped with heavy injuries, his whereabouts unknown.

That is to say, on the human side, there were no longer any Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarchs.

The demon race, with an unstoppable force, swept through every immortal sect in the Northern Wasteland Domain.

They did not say they would slaughter all human cultivators and humans; they just killed a bunch of the stubborn elements in each immortal sect, which basically wiped out the high-level cultivator power of the human race in the Northern Wasteland Domain—at the very least, not a single existence at the Spirit Severing True Monarch level or above was left.

The Qingyu Immortal Sect did not directly face the impact of the demon army; after all, the Qingyu Immortal Sect was originally surrounded by sects like Shenzhao Mountain, and last time, when snatching the Heavenly Azure Phoenix Blood Jade, the demon race had first diverted the attention of the surrounding sects to succeed.

Therefore, the surrounding sects bore the brunt, and after those sects were broken, everything settled down.

The 'Rending Heaven Demon Emperor' of the demon race proposed the regulation of 'peaceful development between the demon race and the human race' and signed a contract with a representative of the human side, a Daoist named 'Rongjingzi' of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, who was a Dao Harmonizing Layman.

At the beginning of the year 578 of the Supernatural Era, the Northern Wasteland Domain entered the era of joint governance by humans and demons.
