The return of the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperors meant that the Heaven Realm would have a brand new structure. However, there were not many changes in the mortal world. The Celestial Pole Continent still maintained the structure of the three empires. Moreover, the two higher gods, Tang Xiaoxi and Wu Chang, maintained the confrontation between the north and the south. There would probably not be any changes in the short term. The only change was that the Heavenly Sound Scroll seemed to be very stingy with the quota for the Mahayana Heavenly Dao. On the contrary, the Book of Godhood was not stingy. Within a short month, another three people in the Celestial Pole Continent obtained demonic bodies and were conferred the title of Demon God.
On the 29th of April, Sima Jin of the Yangshang Army ascended to become a First Grade Medium Demon God and obtained the title of Nightmare Demon God. For this, Yangshang held a banquet for three days and three nights to entertain his officials.
On the 4th of May, another person in the Yangshang Army obtained a demonic body. It was Lin of the North, a Third Grade Medium God. He obtained the title of Demon God Destroyer and was immediately promoted to Captaincy by Yangshang.
On the 27th of May, another person in the Celestial Empire obtained a demonic body. Moreover, it was a Third Grade Higher God. His name was Mao Yu. He was an executioner of the Heaven's End Corps. Mao Yu had killed countless people and had a good reputation among the executioners. On the day he transformed into a Demon God, he killed his wife and son in a fit of rage. In the end, Chen Yu did not punish him with the Empire's constitution. Instead, he was promoted to Deputy Commander of the Empire.
Although a Third Grade Higher God was inferior to Tang Xiaoxi and Wu Chang, it was too important to the Celestial Empire. It was practically a life-saving straw.
…
On the 4th of June, the sound of war drums reverberated across the Celestial Pole Continent again. With Wu Chang as Commander and Xun Xi as Military Advisor, the Yangshang Army mobilized four hundred thousand soldiers to attack Xiping City. The army set off on the same day and headed straight for Xiping City.
The military report arrived at Xiping Prefecture early in the morning. At this time, Feng Jixing and the others did not need to be secretive. They set up a sand table in the conference hall of Xiping Prefecture and discussed countermeasures.
"Is the Winged Army's investigation true?" Feng Jixing leaned over the map and asked after a careful look.
Qian Feng, who was wearing the Marshal's cloak, nodded and said, "The scouts of the Winged Tribe are all my trusted subordinates and can definitely be trusted. This time, Yang Shang has mobilized almost all of their forces. There are 120,000 Steel Cavalry, 200,000 infantry, and 80,000 archers and siege troops. In addition, Wu Shang is personally supervising the battle. Sima Jin and Lin of the North are also here.
"I Feng said, I'm not worried about Wu Wu Chang. Feng Jixing said, "If Wu Shang were to participate in the battle, Princess Xi would be able to reach Xiping City in two hours at full speed. With Princess Xi around, there's no need to fear Wu Shang. What I'm curious about is why Yang Shang chose to attack us at this time? Don't they want to wait for spring to come and harvest the crops? "Ding Xi shook his head.
"It snowed three days ago. It looks like we won't have the chance to plant crops this year. Yangshang is different from us. Even if he has to eat people, he will still start this war. That's why he's not worried about food. But us … the 80,000 Armor Demons that Commander QianFeng has stationed outside Xiping City consume a huge amount of food and meat every day. Every three days, they consume the cows and sheep of a farm. There are only over 20 farms in the entire West Mountain Province. If they continue to eat like this, I'm afraid that the country we've just established in the Celestial Pole Mainland will be eaten up."
QianFeng smiled awkwardly. "The Armor Demons have always been like this. Once a war breaks out, aren't they also one against ten?"
Ding Xi smiled and said respectfully, "Commander Feng, what do you plan to do? Do we concentrate our forces to guard Xiping City, or do we take the initiative to attack and meet Yangshang at the border of West Mountain Province and Tianji Province? "
Feng Jixing thought for a while and said, "In the past two months, we have conquered the entire West Mountain Province. The seven provinces in the north have also fallen into the territory of the Qin Empire. They are now citizens of the Qin Empire. We can't let them suffer from the chaos of war anymore. Let's take the initiative to attack. Pass down my order to deploy heavy troops at the forts at the northern border to meet the Shang army."
"Yes!"
…
Red Rock City. The moon and stars hung high in the sky. The snow in the cold courtyard had not completely melted.
Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi had already gone to bed. In the courtyard, only Lin Muyu stood in the center of the lotus pond. His feet stepped on the surface of the water, but there were no ripples. He stood tall like a pine tree.
The starlight continuously fell on his body and turned into his own.
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and emptied his body and mind. He immersed himself in the starlight. The blood in his body slowly boiled, but it was not chaotic. It was the power of the Blood Refining Firmament that was suppressing the blood in his body. Today, Lin Muyu had already cultivated the Blood Refining Firmament to the extreme.
After the eighth form of the Stars Arts, there was still the ninth form. It was also the most profound form of the Stars Arts.
Lin Muyu had already memorized the mental cultivation method of the Stars Arts countless times over. He had also cultivated according to the mental cultivation method for many years. However, he had never broken through.
His body slowly floated up along with the starlight. He was lying on his back in the lotus pond. The starlight plated his body. However, Lin Muyu's spiritual spirit seemed to have seeped into the starlight.
"Hua!"
The scene before his eyes suddenly brightened. It had actually turned into a peaceful land. White clouds lingered between the mountain ridges. The land was lush and green. There were plots of farmland, herds of cattle and sheep, and men and women weaving.
The scene appeared and then disappeared again.
Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile. He was in the middle of the war in the Blood Sea Purgatory. Now that he saw such a peaceful scene, he couldn't help but yearn for it.
At this moment, the scene disappeared again and then reappeared. The scene of Miaojiang appeared in front of his eyes. It was a lake with rippling blue waves. There was a dense forest on the shore. There was a huge statue in the middle of the lake. It was a statue of a woman with a snake's tail. It was vivid and lifelike.
"Where is this?"
Lin Muyu walked on the water and walked under the statue. She looked up at the statue. There was an indescribable sense of familiarity.
"Rustle …"
The statue suddenly peeled off. The stone on the surface kept peeling off, revealing the bright skin underneath. In the blink of an eye, the woman in the statue had already woken up. She took a deep breath and opened her beautiful eyes to look at Lin Muyu. Her face was a little surprised. She said, "You are … Lin Muyu?"
"That's me. You are?" Lin Muyu was stunned. How did this woman know her?
The goddess smiled. "The world calls me Nuwa."
"Nuwa?"
Lin Muyu respectfully said, "Greetings, Lady Nuwa."
"No need to stand on ceremony," Nuwa smiled a little and said, "Lin Muyu, do you know where this is?"
"Junior doesn't know."
"This place isn't real, but it's the place I yearn for the most." Nuwa murmured, "This is the manifestation of my dreamscape, and also the reflection of the Heavenly Melody Scroll. I call this place the Heavenly Melody Dreamscape. Only the most sincere and kind-hearted people will come here. Before you, no one has been able to come here. Tell me, how did you do it?"
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "Junior was cultivating the Star Arts. I think … I accidentally entered the Heavenly Melody Dreamland. Please don't blame me, Lady."
"Why would I blame you?" Nuwa smiled. Her smile was beautiful and charming. She said, "I seem to understand."
"What do you understand, Lady?"
"Why did you find this place?"
"Please enlighten me, Lady."
Nuwa smiled lightly. "It's actually very simple. The Heavenly Melody Dreamland is the manifestation of my state of mind. You must have entered the dreamland during your cultivation. Your state of mind is connected to mine. This means that your wish is the same as mine. Now, tell me, what is your wish?"
Lin Muyu thought of a small celebrity and said, "World peace."
Nuwa chuckled. "This wish sounds strange and ridiculous, but … it seems to be the truest representation of your heart. I know everything about you. You wish for peace and stability, but you are the one who initiated the war. You should also know that you are not the person that your state of mind yearns for, right?"
"Yes."
Lin Muyu stood on the surface of the water in a daze. He said, "I can't sleep at night. Almost every night, I can see scenes of slaughter in my dreams. I can hear the cries of those who have died. They ask me why I started this war and what I obtained by doing this."
As she spoke, Lin Muyu slowly knelt down in the water. Her body trembled slightly as the invisible force of an elephant rippled around her, creating layers of ripples.
Nuwa smiled gently and leaned over to hug him. She said, "Silly child … this is all your cultivation. If you don't start the war, more people will die because of it. You were born to fight, so why run away? People are born to experience all kinds of things, and everyone's experience is different. But the final destination is the same. This is reincarnation. If you can't see through this reincarnation, you will fall into pain. Even if you are the strongest in the world, you will still feel pain and blame yourself. Do you understand? "
Lin Muyu stretched out his left hand. King's combat flames rose. He wanted to turn these flames into divine power. But his hand hurt so much that he couldn't complete the transformation. He said with a trembling voice, "I need more power to complete all this. Only then can I prevent the people I cherish from leaving because of war. I need power … Will the Mahayana Heavenly Dao approve of me?"
"It will."
Nuwa's voice was very gentle. She said, "The fact that you can enter my Heavenly Voice Dreamland is enough to prove that you are the one chosen by the Heavenly Voice Scroll. It's just that your opportunity hasn't come yet. Don't be impatient, don't be discouraged, and don't die. The six realms need your power. The mortal world you live in needs your power even more.
"I understand."
Lin Muyu slowly stood up and bowed. He said, "Thank you, Goddess."
"Go now, we will meet again."
Nuwa's figure slowly disappeared, and Lin Muyu's body also slowly left the dreamland and returned to reality.
…
"Ah!?"
He abruptly woke up from his dream. He actually fell asleep in the middle of cultivation. This was simply unimaginable. But Lin Muyu quickly felt a new power surging in his body. What is this?!
He raised his hand, and strands of starlight gathered. The power was so strong that it even surpassed the Blood Refining Heavens!
Let's give it a try first!
He raised his palm and pointed it at the stone mountain not far away.
"Swish, swish, swish …"
The stone mountain didn't crack, nor did it explode. But the stones quickly disintegrated into minerals, just like how they were formed.
"Weng!"
A light breeze blew past, and the entire stone mountain instantly disappeared!
Wasn't this power a little too strong?!
