Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 660 Weaving Legends

Lingxiao Realm, Tiangong Floating Island.

In a magnificent palace, there is a long table carved with exquisite patterns.

At the head of the long table, Taishang Haotian sat solemnly on a high-backed wooden chair painted with gold.

His face was shrouded in a golden light as always, making it impossible for people around him to see the expression on his face.

But around him, there was an invisible pressure, as if the air had solidified, becoming heavy and dull.

On both sides of the long table, the leaders of the major forces of the "Lingxiao League" sat down one after another.

After a long silence, the "divine general" Jia Huan, who was standing on the left hand side of Taishang Haotian, spoke first: "Everyone, this expedition plan of Lingxiao League has been a complete failure, with heavy losses. Most of the practitioners who went to the 'Fiery Rock Realm' were killed or injured.

“The world coordinates of Lingxiao Realm may have been exposed to the enemy.

"That mysterious 'Xuan Dan Tian Zun' who is suspected to be a ninth-level expert is already an imminent threat to our Ling Xiao Realm.

"The Emperor is deeply concerned about this, and has specially summoned you all here, hoping to pool your wisdom and discuss together how we should face this difficulty."

As soon as Jia Huan finished speaking, the "divine general" Tong Changfeng standing on the right hand side of Taishang Haotian immediately continued, "I'm sure you all have a deep understanding of the strength of the 'Xuandan Tianzun'. He didn't even show up, but with just a name, he made many powerful people in our Lingxiao Realm throw away their weapons and armor, and their troops were defeated.

"Everyone present here is a top-ranked expert in the Lingxiao Realm, but if they were to encounter this 'Xuandan Tianzun', I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.

"In the ancient books of Lingxiao Realm, it is said that only the 'Yujing Realm' can deal with the 'Yujing Realm'.

"In my opinion, if we want the Lingxiao Realm to survive the invasion of that unknown new world—which we might as well call the 'Xuandan World'—the only way is for all our races and forces to unite and give birth to a ninth-level strongman belonging to the Lingxiao Realm."

Tai Shang Hao Tian really had this in mind!

The Dragon Night Emperor, who was sitting on the side of the long table, thought silently in his heart.

Today, her real body is still "shedding" in the blood pool that once belonged to the demon fairy clan, so she only sent one incarnation to attend today's meeting.

Her chair was empty, with only a dark, flickering shadow, quietly listening to everyone's opinions and expressing her own views when necessary.

Of course she could see that the two "divine generals" beside Taishang Haotian were acting in collusion.

On the one hand, they emphasized the terrible threat from "Xuan Dan Tian Zun", and on the other hand, they stated that "only the strong people in 'Yu Jing Realm' can save Ling Xiao Realm".

This is undoubtedly an attempt to use external conflicts to suppress internal conflicts, forcing the major forces in the Lingxiao Realm to make concessions, hand over the power of incense to Taishang Haotian, and help him to be promoted safely.

Lingxiao Realm is a world with a long history.

Here there are ancient races with long lifespans, and ancient sects that have been passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Although Tai Shang Haotian is the most powerful person, he is still just a rising star in this world.

Therefore, it is not an easy task for him to successfully collect incense from the entire world and advance to the ninth realm.

The dragon clan has its own "Cang Long Shen".

The Nine-tailed Fox has its own "Queen of Qingqiu".

The mermaids have their own "sea god". The major ancient families have their own ancestral temples.

……

If Tai Shang Hao Tian wants to advance to the ninth realm in Ling Xiao Realm, it means that he must seize the power of faith from these places one by one.

In a sense, this is equivalent to digging up the ancestral graves of all major forces.

As a ruthless and desireless person who only pursues power, Taishang Haotian has actually disregarded taboos and secretly taken risks to snatch incense many times in the past few thousand years.

For example, more than two thousand years ago, he spread a rumor among the people, claiming that the "Canglong God" was his previous life - because of this, he was born with an extremely rare "immortal body" in the Lingxiao Realm, and was naturally favored by the Great Dao, and never encountered a bottleneck in his practice.

Just like he fabricated lies in the Great Wilderness World, claiming that "Emperor Ziwei" and "Taishang Haotian" were two sides of the same coin.

When a top-notch eighth-level cultivator spreads a rumor, the influence can be enormous, enough to affect countless causes and effects.

It can even be said that "weaving legends" in a world and spreading them widely so that one's own cause and effect are closely bound to this world is a necessary step to advance from the eighth realm to the ninth realm.

Many people believed it at that time.

But Emperor Ye saw through Tai Shang Haotian's tricks.

At that time, she took Jiang Zhaoyue to the "Ancient Dragon Tomb", where she allowed Jiang Zhaoyue to complete his molting and obtain the "real" authority.

Naturally, they knew what Tai Shang Haotian was up to.

The members of the Dragon Clan were all extremely indignant when they heard the news. They were all rubbing their hands in anticipation, declaring that they would fight to the death with Taishang Haotian who had defamed their ancestors.

It took Emperor Ye a lot of effort to calm down the emotions of his tribesmen.

Tai Shang Haotian also made a promise at that time, saying that he would never do such sneaky things again.

He said that if in the future the Lingxiao Realm really reached the point where someone had to shoulder the heavy responsibility, absorb the incense, and advance to the ninth realm, he would definitely discuss the plan with her first before taking any action.

It is not difficult to imagine that Tai Shang Haotian has also encountered many setbacks with other races.

Because of this, he no longer puts all his eggs in just one basket, the Lingxiao Realm.

He began to spread his belief in himself widely in other alien worlds occupied by the "Heavenly Palace", such as the Great Wilderness, the Danhua World, the Fucui World, etc.

However, what he most desired in his heart was still to use the incense from the Lingxiao Realm to advance to the "Yujing Realm".

On the one hand, Lingxiao Realm is his hometown and has the deepest bond with him.

On the other hand, for a cultivator in the ninth realm, the comprehensive strength of a world and his own strength complement and promote each other.

The higher the level of this world, the more powerful practitioners it has, and the strength of the ninth-level cultivators will become stronger accordingly.

PS: I initially wrote a version of this chapter, but I wasn't very satisfied with it, so I deleted it and rewrote it, so it's a little shorter. I'll add another chapter next week.
