Chapter 1200: Great Qian Dynasty vs. Great Yu Dynasty

"?"

"Can't you hope for something better?"

"With Lord Siming backing us, it's like having a backbone; Lei Shenjun finally had the courage to rebut Guan Shanhai, he abruptly lifted his head, looking down on Guan Shanhai with disdain."

"We merely reduced the influence of faith power, which is why we vanished and hid in the Immortal Palace; otherwise, what do you have to do with the Great Yu? Just stirring up a few waves and thinking you're invincible."

"Do you think being an immortal makes you remarkable?"

"Sichen Shenjun even directly flashed to the side, solemnly introducing the stunned Siming:"

"Look, our Great Qian also has immortals!"

"This is the Siming who bestowed titles upon us gods and mass-produced Dao Fruit prototypes!"

"The long-awaited Lord Siming also arrived at Prison Peak; the Great Qian cultivators' morale soared, they straightened their backs and glared at the Great Yu cultivators."

"Siming, long out of touch, fell into deep thought; he had imagined many reactions from his old subordinates upon seeing him, but never this one."

"As if possessed."

"Siming gently shook his head; bestowing god titles, producing Dao Fruit prototypes—just old stories; they're all imprisoned here, arguing about this—what's the point?"

"Guan Shanhai snorted: 'Mass-producing Dao Fruit prototypes, that's all, worth bringing up? My printed Dao Fruit can also produce Dao Fruit prototypes, even without relying on faith power.'"

"Really thinking it's some kind of achievement?"

"'What did you say!' Siming slapped his thigh and pointed angrily at Guan Shanhai; he could say bestowing god titles was old news, but others couldn't say that."

"'How, I said something wrong?' As fellow immortals, Guan Shanhai wasn't afraid of Siming."

"'If faith power were truly that useful, could you keep hiding in the Immortal Palace, watching Great Qian fall and perish without care?'"

"'Taking faith as the state foundation, I see your Great Qian is no different.'"

"Siming spoke mockingly: 'What about your Great Yu? Establishing the National Preceptor system—only the first two National Preceptors were somewhat useful; the later ones were just scheming with the emperor, and your collapse was slower than our Great Qian's?'"

"'In the end, our Great Qian has a wise ruler, gods flourish, incense is offered, each fulfills their duty, national strength is strong, the demon seas and the world come to court; what right do you, Great Yu, have to compare with our Great Qian?'"

"Upon hearing this, Guan Shanhai slowly rose, his eyes deep, as if returning to when the Great Yu Dynasty was just established."

"'Ridiculous to the extreme, our Great Yu Dynasty ended the war and chaos of the Central Plains, intimidated the demon clans so they dared not invade; all along, our opponents submitted, willingly submitting to Great Yu; after generations of reproduction, our Great Yu reached its peak, even the Great Xia had to call our era the Great Yu Prosperous Age!'"

"'What use are posthumous evaluations? Strength in the Cultivation Realm is supreme.'"

"Siming drew a square map on the ground, representing this place as the Central Plains, then drew a vertical line dividing it into two—one side Great Qian, the other Great Yu."

"'My Enlightenment Dao Fruit transforms all things in the world; the Emperor's Devouring Dao Fruit can devour others' Dao Fruits; the Emperor and I join forces to attack from this direction—can you, Great Yu, withstand us?'"

"Guan Shanhai refused to yield; his cell was too far from Siming, making it hard to draw on Siming's map, so he drew an identical one right in front of him."

"'How hard is it to stop you? Wu Yao's Replacement Dao Fruit can directly replace the Emperor into the universe, so he can't even swallow the northwest wind; just you alone—can you withstand my and Wu Yao's simultaneous attack?'"

"'And our Great Yu war generals, each crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood; they lead eighteen armies, splitting into six routes to invade Great Qian en masse; your cultivated gods facing our war generals—if they don't lose courage, that's already not bad!'"

"'Scared witless? Not mentioning the distant, our side has Lei Shen and Chen Shen; activating Dao Fruit prototypes can control the heavenly tribulation's timing; their eighteen armies facing them would collapse at first contact!'"

"'Our Great Yu's first war general, the Jade General, possesses Yin-Yang Dao Fruit prototypes, genuinely self-cultivated, not like your deliberate imitation of the ancient four immortals producing half-immortals that can compare!'"

"'Led by the Jade General dividing yin and yang—what can you do?'"

"'The National Preceptor said it well—just fight like this; see how Great Qian handles it!' The Great Yu cultivators grew more excited listening, unable to help but wave fists and cheer."

"'Arrogant what, at this moment the Emperor has long returned, he directly descended from the universe to your Great Yu's rear, opened a killing spree, and with Lord Siming formed a pincer attack!' The Great Qian cultivators shouted angrily; they had endured in silence at Prison Peak for too long, now finally able to raise their heads—how could they bear being suppressed by Great Yu forces again?"

"'By then, the Yu Emperor just needs to send the Emperor away!'"

"'How could the Emperor possibly face the same tactic and still lose? If sent away again, he could suck Wu Yao over too!'"

"Both sides argued back and forth, excitedly laying out sand tables on the ground, researching how to defeat the enemy, glorifying our nation."

"Siming and Guan Shanhai even more so looked displeased at each other, rolled up sleeves, pointed and gestured, spit flying, faces flushed red; if not for the wrong venue, they'd have likely stripped naked and fought with real blades."

"Yun Zhi stood aside watching silently; originally she wanted to interrogate Siming overnight, but seeing his state, even using the old method of whipping would probably yield nothing; better to wait until both sides calm down before torture."

"The child monk Shi Gong attentively listened to both sides' battle tactics and countermeasures; when encountering something unclear, he had to note it down, then slowly ponder later—this precious experience is unobtainable anywhere."

"Under the national war's pincer attack, Mou Chouqiu and Duan Qingwater rejoiced that they were Buddhist cultivators, unable to participate in such large-scale warfare."

"……"

"Buddhist State, Xitian Temple, Mahavira Hall."

"Dai Bufan repeatedly considered, decided to still come to Xitian Temple to test his luck."

"'In the end, Land Junior Brother in the Buddhist State merely has an immortal body, not a true immortal, while the Buddhist State's Buddhism was founded by the World-Honored One, and should be able to suppress Land Junior Brother.'"

"The Mahavira Hall is the greatest reliance of Xitian Temple, not something just anyone has the right to enter and worship."

"Dai Bufan often substituted for the elder in handling internal and external affairs of the Question Dao Sect, widely praised by the outside world, renowned abroad, and externally could be considered the second figure of the Question Dao Sect; his coming to Xitian Temple naturally means he has the right to enter the Mahavira Hall."

"Dai Bufan properly lit three incense sticks, bowed to the Buddha."

"'Buddha above, I have two junior brothers, one named Land Yang, the other named Meng Jingzhou; I suspect they've been tainted by evil, every time they go out something major happens; although they always turn misfortune into fortune, I ultimately worry they'll meet with mishap, die young.'"

"'Please Buddha bless, drive away the evil on them, keep the two safe!'"

"On the lotus platform, the Buddha opened his weathered eyes, helplessly watching Dai Bufan earnestly kowtow."

"'Is this something I can manage?'"

"'Never mind lighting three incense sticks—if you set the whole Mahavira Hall on fire, I still couldn't manage it.'"
