Aside from sealing and protecting Earth, the Star Map Array also had monitoring capabilities.
Wang Hou had grasped a little of the Star Map Array's power, and could monitor half of the solar system through it.
Mars was naturally under surveillance.
He had been in the middle of a meeting when he suddenly sensed something. Borrowing the power of the Star Map Array, he discovered the Sky Demon legion and champions that blanketed the world. On the barren Mars, a certain warp portal was flashing incessantly, with countless Sky Demon legions flying out incessantly.
"Minister Wang …"
Everyone in the office was the backbone of the Martial Arts Department (MAD), and they quickly asked when they saw Wang Hou's reaction. Wang Hou said somberly, "The Sky Demons are attacking en masse, and are gathering their legion on Mars at the moment. Notify every branch and the military at once, and have them prepare for battle."
"I'm heading to Lingzhou City for a bit, but I'll be back soon."
He rose to his feet and walked to the window, appearing three miles away with a single step.
Now that he was a Paragon in martial arts, Wang Hou was extremely fast, and arrived at Jiang He's house in just ten minutes.
"Minister Wang, you're here?"
Jiang He asked with a smile, fiddling with a pitch-black hammer. Then, noticing that Wang Hou's expression was not right, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong, Minister Wang?"
"The Sky Demons!"
Wang Hou said somberly. "The Sky Demon legion and their champions are gathering on Mars, and it seems that they intend to attack Earth."
Jiang He's expression changed at that.
After a long while, he breathed a long sigh and said, "What will come will come … you and I should have thought of that a long time ago. The Star Map has been activated, and the dimensional seal beyond Earth is dispelled. Since the immortals could return, the Sky Demons and even the other races who once invaded Earth could invade Earth again."
"Well …"
Wang Hou seethed through clenched teeth, "It's all my fault. If I didn't touch the Star Map, it wouldn't have dispelled the dimensional seal so soon!"
"Minister Wang, now is not the time to blame yourself."
Jiang He waved him off, saying, "The most important thing now is to understand the Sky Demons' combat ability."
"I took a quick glance earlier and discovered no less than 30 Mahayana realm cultivators and hundreds of Tribulation realm cultivators. As for Dao Convergence and Essence Spirit realm cultivators, there are countless of them." Wang Hou took a deep breath and said, "Moreover, the Sky Demons have yet to invade Earth and are still gathering their legions. I'm afraid that their champions and legions would only increase."
"No immortal-level Sky Fiends?"
"Not yet."
Jiang He could not help sneering, saying, "Aren't the Sky Demons underestimating me a little too much? They dare to attack Earth without even a single immortal? “
"…"
Wang Hou's mouth hung open, unsure why Jiang He was so confident.
At this moment, Hu Mei walked out of the courtyard with a teapot in her hand. She said sweetly, "Master, have some tea."
After pouring tea for Jiang He, Hu Mei turned and left.
Behind her, nine fox tails slowly swayed.
Though she was not deliberately releasing her aura, the faint immortal might emanating from her body left Wang Hou, Jin Sidao, and the Taixu Sect chieftain thunderstruck. All of their eyes widened as they stared tightly at Hu Mei's back. As for Elder Mo …
He was too weak and merely a full-fledged Yuan Spirit, so he did not sense anything.
Jiang He frowned and said unhappily, "What are you doing? Isn't it a little rude to stare at my maid like that? "
"Maid?"
Wang Hou only came to his senses then, his face filled with disbelief as he asked somberly, "Jiang He, is that your maid? Is she an immortal? "
"Didn't you see her nine tails?"
Jiang He was speechless.
What was with that look?
She was clearly a daemon fox. She should be an immortal daemon.
"Haha!"
Wang Hou could not help laughing out loud, the worry on his face completely gone as he said, "Since your immortal daemon servant is here, the Sky Demons are nothing to fear … eh?"
Suddenly …
Wang Hou's laughter stopped abruptly. His expression changed, and he promptly sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes and connecting to the Star Map again —
Moments later.
Blargh!
Wang Hou's body shuddered and he vomited a mouthful of blood.
His face turned very pale as he said hoarsely, "Another twenty Mahayana-tier Sky Demons have gathered on Mars, and three of them … must be immortals!"
Beside him, Jin Sidao's expression changed as well and he said somberly, "When the Hundred Races of the Universe invaded Earth, the Sky Demons were merely a bottom-feeder race. Even so, they are not to be underestimated. Minister Wang, Mister Jiang, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is willing to heed your command and repel the Sky Demons!"
The Taixu Sect Chieftain offered a fist-palm salute as well, saying, "I'll contact my ancestral masters right away."
Though he was the Taixu Sect Chieftain, he could not make a decision when it came to such a level.
Elder Mo mused, "While the many immortal sects, demonic sects, and ancient daemon cultivators have yet to fully emerge, there are already many elites moving about outside. If we could unite the immortal sects, demonic sects, and ancient daemon cultivators, it would not be an issue to handle a mere Sky Demon."
Jiang He thought about it and asked, "Wouldn't it be very difficult to unite those sects?"
"I believe that the various sects and Holy Grounds would put aside their grudges in the face of a race invasion," Elder Mo said with conviction.
"But …"
Jiang He was still a little unconvinced and asked in confusion, "I've killed so many elites, and they are still willing to join forces? Should I kill a few more as an example? "
Elder Mo was dumbstruck.
Damn it!
How could I have forgotten about this?
Why would he keep quiet and not mention the matter of uniting the various sects?
Jiang He waved them off and smiled. "Don't worry, everyone. I'll think of a way to solve this. They are on Mars anyway, and it would take some time for them to fly there."
Jin Sidao then asked in confusion, "Mister Jiang … where is Mars?"
"Mars is what we modern people call it. It must have been called Mars in ancient times, wasn't it?"
"Mars?"
Jin Sidao's expression twitched as he said, "It is a relay station, and it is rumored that in ancient times, elites who wanted to explore outer space could head to Mars and use its warp portals to travel to other planetary systems. There are portals on Mars that could teleport to Earth as well."
"Where would the Sky Demon legion teleport to Earth?"
"I don't know."
Jin Sidao said, "Back then, many sects had warp portals to Mars. However, there was no fixed warp portal from Mars to Earth, and it was random."
Jiang He's expression finally became much more somber.
Cursing inwardly, he said, "Damn it … random teleportation … in other words, if the Sky Demon legion came to Earth, they would split into dozens or hundreds of squadrons. Some of them would appear in the oceans, some deep in the mountains, and some would even teleport to the city base?"
If that was the case, it would be very difficult to ambush and kill the Sky Demon legion.
Jin Sidao nodded.
Jiang He breathed a long sigh and paced around the gates, only speaking after several minutes, "It seems that we have to attack first … but there are too many Sky Demons, and I'm not confident in attacking first. I need to improve my ability as soon as possible … Minister Wang, keep an eye on the Sky Demon legion's movements. They must have other arrangements since they did not attack Earth at once."
"Fellow Daoist Jin, when will the people from the Nine Great Forces send my compensation? Hurry them up and have them deliver all treasures to my house in an hour. "
"Moreover …"
Jiang He glanced at the Taixu Sect Chieftain and said, "You said that you want to refine a mystic treasure … have you designed it?"
"I'm going to start crafting items right away and accumulate some experience, so that I can refine something for myself later!"
Jiang He was ready to make something like a bomb.
He had run out of Doom Shrooms and the pea bombs were too weak, which was why he decided to design a bomb that was powerful enough.
For example …
Using heavenly retribution as a bomb.
Jiang He would only know if it was feasible after he tried it.
Right now, what he lacked was forging experience.
After all, he had not personally refined it even though he had created his own Jiang-style item refinement method. That was why he would help the Taixu Sect Chieftain craft weapons and familiarize himself with the technique.
"By the way, since I'm going to use heavenly retribution as a bomb, where should I get it?"
Jiang He's eyes then landed on the Taixu Sect Chieftain, and his eyes lit up as he asked, "You haven't weathered your ninth retribution, have you?"
"Haha, good, good. It's good that you haven't weathered it … draw the heavenly retribution then."
The Taixu Sect Chieftain was dumbstruck.
He was left dumbstruck just then, and quickly said, "Mister Jiang, I don't even have mystic treasures to protect myself right now and am unprepared. My chances of weathering my retribution are less than thirty percent, and even if you help me craft two superior-grade sage items and set them up beforehand, my chances of weathering my retribution would not exceed eighty percent."
Eighty percent.
That was actually enough.
But most importantly, he was not prepared at all, and he had not even crafted his mystic treasures.
Jiang He, however, sneered and said, "With me here, your chances of weathering your retribution are a hundred percent, and there is no other possibility. Listen to me and weave your retribution right now. I'll help you."
In that very moment, Jiang He had a sudden idea …
If he had free time in the future, could he start a business that specializes in helping others weathering their retributions?
He would definitely earn a lot if he collected up to fifty superior-grade spirit stones each time.
"Aside from helping others weathering their retributions, I could also strengthen their mystic treasures, and when the time comes, I could just pick one of them and earn some Farm Points … I have a hundred percent strengthening rate, and it's a hundred million times better than those Enhancers in games who have to break their weapons at every turn!"
…
Meanwhile.
On Mars.
Mystic treasures or palaces were flying out of a barren Mars.
Among them, over sixty Mahayana Sky Demons' elites were gathered in a palace that flickered in immortal radiance, holding a meeting.
The three Heavenly Immortal Sky Demons who were shrouded in Demonic Qi were presiding over the meeting. They first learned about the current state of Earth from the Sky Demon Lord, and then said, "Lord Molona would arrive at Mars tomorrow. Send word to everyone to rest and reorganize, and the legion would march the day after tomorrow to invade the humans' homeworld!"
