Wu Mengqi said quietly, "The Spiritual Sea is our chance, but the master of the Xuanmen Gate will definitely notice it. Maybe he will take action in advance to weaken our temple and other competitors. We have to prevent him from causing trouble."
Dao Venerable Xuan Yi shook his head. "Although I don't know where his limit is, he can't use his sword without limit."
"The Haotian Mirror hasn't recovered fully, but it has returned to White Cloud Mountain with Senior Brother Taiyi and Senior Brother Zhengyi. Even if the master of Xuan Gate comes, we can't humiliate him."
"The attention of the Youdu Clan, the Primordial Heavenly Dragon Clan, and even the Primordial Devil Ape Clan is on him. If he fights with us, it will only benefit the demon race. The master of Xuan Gate won't make such a low-level mistake."
He paused for a moment and looked at Wu Mengqi. "But it's unavoidable to restrict our power from other aspects. The most likely target is the Netherworld Sea. His eldest disciple, Xiao Yan, has a close connection with Heaven's Calamity in the Netherworld Sea, so he has a greater advantage …"
Wu Mengqi looked gloomy, but he didn't say anything.
Shōichi Dōshin said, "From the actions of the war between the two worlds, Lin Feng has completely entrusted this matter to his disciple, Xiao Yan. With Xiao Yan's power, even if he has a close connection with Heaven's Calamity, it won't be easy for him to refine Heaven's Calamity and the Netherworld Sea."
"Meng Qi, you don't have to take the initiative to attack. Just defend your position. If you fall into a prolonged stalemate, you will succeed."
"As Junior Brother Xuan Yi said, even if Lin Feng has wild ambitions, he won't start a war with us easily."
Wu Mengqi nodded. "Disciple understands."
No matter if it was Shōichi Dōshin or Wu Mengqi, they were both radical elders of Taixu Temple. However, being radical didn't mean that they didn't know how to judge the situation and adapt to the situation.
Kuang Heng and Xuanlin Taoist, who were standing at the side, were calm as usual, and there was not the slightest fluctuation in their eyes.
Lord Yuyuan said coldly, "Although we need to recuperate, Xuanmen Tianzong will definitely not sit back and watch us return to the peak. Even if they don't really start a war, they will still suppress and weaken us in other aspects."
"Our temple needs to react in time and counterattack. Even if we temporarily hide our strength and bide our time, we need to be fully prepared. We can't be held hostage by others."
At this time, Kuang Heng, who looked like a child but had eyes as bleak as water, faintly said, "Find something else for Xuanmen Tianzong to do, lest they keep their eyes on me."
Dao Master Qing Ning's expression changed slightly, "Junior Brother Kuang, you mean …"
Lord Taiyi and Shōichi Dōshin both looked at Kuang Heng and Lord Qingning. Beside them, Lord Xuan explained and said softly, "At that time, it was Nanlai's decision. I agreed."
Kuang Heng's expression was indifferent. He turned to look at Yun Yuanzhen, who had yet to recover from his serious injuries and looked dispirited, "Junior Sister Yun, your previous arrangements will have to be used in another way."
Yun Yuanzhen's aura was a little weak, but her eyes were still calm. Hearing this, she nodded, "I understand."
Dao Master Qing Ning said in a deep voice, "I hope it will be of sufficient use."
At this moment, in a corner of Infinite Wilderness, a majestic palace flashing with purple and gold light stood in the sky, like a Nine Heavens Immortal Palace. There were layers of light and shadows above the palace, as if thousands of Immortals and Buddhas were constantly shuttling between the palaces and pavilions.
Outside the Immortal Palace, cultivators were constantly coming and going, transporting a large number of resources that had been plundered from all over Infinite Wilderness to the purple and gold palace.
A middle-aged man in a dragon robe with a dignified aura sat in the palace. He was the ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Zhou Liang Pan. This palace was naturally the creation magic treasure Grand Imperial Palace.
In the palace, King Yan Liang of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Liang Fu, stood below Emperor Zhou Liang Pan and said softly, "Your Majesty, basically all the valuable resources in the vicinity have been collected."
Liang Pan nodded. "Well done."
Liang Fu bowed and did not say anything else. Liang Pan asked calmly, "Do you think it's a pity?"
"Although it's a pity, I understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts." Liang Fu sighed. "Although it's a great opportunity to expand our territory, the Great Zhou Dynasty has already occupied Infinite Wilderness. It's just an enclave that takes up a lot of energy."
Emperor Zhou Liang Pan said, "Yes, that's right. Moreover, in terms of expansion, what can compare to the Great Zhou Dynasty's westward expansion and the Great Qin Dynasty's territory under our rule?"
He stood up from the dragon throne and walked past King Yan Liang to the entrance of the palace. He looked at the vast land in front of him. "But now that we've failed, there's nothing more to say. The key lies in the future."
King Yan Liang sighed and did not say anything.
If West-Hill City was completely destroyed, the Great Zhou Dynasty could gather the Dragon Vein Qi of the world and take the opportunity to expand westward and annex the Great Qin Dynasty's territory. But now, there was no hope.
Although the Great Qin Dynasty was weak, the emperor and officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty knew that the Great Qin Dynasty would lean more towards Xuanmen Tianzong.
At the moment when the Celestial Sect of Wonders was gradually reaching its peak, the chances of the Great Zhou making a move were slim.
Instead, they needed to think about how the Great Zhou Dynasty would defend if Xuanmen Tianzong stood up for the Great Qin Dynasty.
Leading the qi of the dragon vein to White Cloud Mountain could be explained by the righteousness of the war between the two realms. However, after White Cloud Mountain was destroyed, Liang Pan used Grand Imperial Palace to direct most of the power of the backlash along the qi of the dragon vein to West-Hill City. This was definitely a malicious move.
West-Hill City was destroyed, and Shi Zongtang and the other experts of the Great Qin Dynasty were all killed. Dead people could not testify. But since West-Hill City was saved by Shi Tianhao, Shi Zongtang and the others could naturally detect Liang Pan's actions.
It was difficult to find evidence for something like this after the fact.
However, to the Mystic Gate Sky Sect, there were many things that didn't matter if they had evidence or not. The Mystic Gate Sky Sect and the Great Qin Empire had been working together to compress the Great Zhou Empire's space.
In this war between the two worlds, the Great Zhou Dynasty had benefited greatly. They had been hiding their strength and acting cautiously during the war.
However, the Great Zhou Emperor, Liang Pan, did not feel relaxed because Xuanmen Tianzong's strength had increased greatly. Under these circumstances, after the war between the two worlds ended, the Great Zhou Dynasty would be in an even worse situation.
Whether it was the bloody massacre of Snowgale, the conflict between Zhu Yi and Zhu Hongwu, or the problems with the Great Qin Dynasty in this war, they were all difficult to resolve.
The relationship between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Taixu Temple was growing closer. The Great Zhou Dynasty and Xuanmen Tianzong were already inevitable to oppose each other.
The conflict between Xuanmen Tianzong and the Taixu Temple would also affect the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty had no choice but to rely on the Taixu Temple to hold on.
"Although the Taixu Temple has suffered great losses this time, its foundation is still there. If Xuanmen Tianzong wants to destroy it, they have to worry about the movements of the Yao race." The Great Zhou Emperor Liang Pan knew. "This way, their next target in the Divine Land will most likely be me and the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"But I can't back down."
Liang Pan looked up at the ceiling of the hall. There was a ball of light there. It did not look dazzling, but it seemed to contain deep principles. It was unfathomable, indescribable, and indescribable.
"It's a pity that I could not make the King Of The Underworld stay. Otherwise, I could increase my strength to deal with the upcoming situation."
The Great Zhou Emperor Liang Pan thought. The Great Zhou Emperor Liang Fu looked at the ball of light on the ceiling and was shocked. "Your Majesty, this … this seems to be …"
Liang Pan came back to his senses and looked at him. He said lightly, "That's right. It is Taixu Temple's all-sky Taixu Light. It's a pity that it is extremely difficult to understand its profoundness. But it is not a problem to use it for a while."
Liang Fu's eyes flashed and his expression was uncertain. "Is it when Your Majesty sent the Qi of the Dragon Vein and the power of the Imperial Palace to Bai Yun Mountain? But Your Majesty, this … "
They had already offended Xuanmen Tianzong and now they were plotting against Taixu Temple. If Taixu Temple found out, it would be even worse for the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although they had obtained the all-sky Taixu Light that they had been dreaming of, it was still not worth it. The losses far outweighed the gains.
In Liang Fu's impression, Liang Pan was not such an unwise person. He only hoped that Liang Pan would not be blinded by the pressure brought by Xuanmen Tianzong.
Liang Pan looked at Liang Fu indifferently. "Do you think Taixu Temple does not know? They knew at that time. This is their tacit consent. But in the current situation, we have gained this, which means that we have to pay a price. It is difficult to hold back. "
Liang Fu's face showed a look of realization. His uncertain expression calmed down, but what followed was a bitter smile.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had used such a method in the past. But at that time, they were the givers. Now, they were the ones who were forced to take advantage of others.
Back then, after the battle of Ying Hai, the Great Zhou Dynasty still prioritized providing resources to Eastern Heavenly Gate to repair the Xuantian Seal.
After that, in the battle to destroy Xuan Xuan, Eastern Heavenly Gate became the Great Zhou Dynasty's vanguard and gave their all.
There was no free lunch in this world. The same logic applied. But now, the one who gave their all was the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they could not reject it. The Great Zhou Dynasty needed to seize every opportunity to increase their strength.
Liang Fu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, the conflict between our dynasty and Xuanmen Tianzong is actually not irreconcilable. The matter of Snowgale is actually easy to deal with. Great Qin can just give up some benefits. It's just that the Grand Preceptor …"
Liang Pan shook his head. "If that's the case, Hongwu will be completely crippled."
Liang Fu was silent. After a while, he said softly, "Even if we rely on Tianjing City, it will not be easy to resist Xuanmen Tianzong. What exactly is our dynasty …"
Liang Pan let out a soft breath and looked into the distance. Silently, he said, "Ying Hai."
"Although Xuanmen Tianzong controls the Ying Zhou Spirit Mountain, it is far from being completely controlled by Xuanmen Tianzong. As long as they can control a spirit mountain in the Ying Hai, the spirit mountain will disappear without a trace. No matter how sharp Xuanmen Tianzong's Heaven Punishing Sword is, it will not be able to do anything."
