"That old bastard Jiangchen is here too?" Both Ying Langtian's Nascent Divinity and Primordial Swordfiend were shocked.
"Jiangchen, why have you come here?" asked Lu Xiaotian.
"I don't know the details, so don't ask. I wasn't in the same area as them during the war, so we didn't have much interaction. As for what happened in the Tiansang Wastelands, there's a reason I didn't tell you. The more you know, the more traces you'll leave behind. That old bastard rarely attacks anyone below the Sky Immortal level, but if he finds out a Golden Immortal is involved, the situation will be completely different.
"Why else do you think the Heavenly Court would go through so much trouble to raze the Tiansang Wastelands? That old monster, Lord Nether Blight Silkworm, entered the Immortal-Demon Battlefield and fought against the old monsters of the Heavenly Court and the Ghost Realm. He was injured and fell into a deep slumber after returning. The price he had to pay for waking up was enormous. Even if ordinary Golden Immortals entered the Tiansang Wastelands, he wouldn't have to do anything himself. "
"It's rare for him to be muddle-headed. Sometimes, being muddle-headed isn't necessarily a bad thing," Ying Langtian agreed. "That old monster, Lord Nether Blight Silkworm, possesses remarkable abilities. Even I wouldn't have an easy time against him. However, he's been in a deep slumber all these years, and there aren't many Spirit Mulberry Withered Silkworms to begin with. He's not very active either, so his reputation has gradually waned. "
"Although Lord Nether Blight Silkworm is powerful, there are bound to be people stronger or on par with him in the Celestial Court of Honghao and the Celestial Court of Jade Mystic. If several of them ganged up on him, would he be able to stop them?" Lu Xiaotian asked, puzzled.
"It's not that simple. Most of the Heavenly Court's Golden Immortals have to oversee a region. As for those at Lord Nether Blight Silkworm's level, there are only a few in the Celestial Court of Honghao. Even if they join forces, they might not be able to take him down in a short time. Do you think there won't be any rebellions in other parts of the Heavenly Court? The world is a game of chess. The Heavenly Court isn't the only player. "
"What about Celestial Emperor Honghao?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"Celestial Emperors need to take action? Celestial Emperors could not be easily dispatched, and they were usually within the Celestial Palace. Even in the Immortal Devil Battlefield, the Celestial Emperor personally took action a long time ago. I've never seen a supreme expert of that level with my own eyes, and I don't know what they're thinking. " At the mention of the Celestial Emperor level, even the Primeval Sword Demon's tone could not help but be filled with reverence and admiration.
At the mention of the Celestial Emperor, even Ying Tianlang, who had always been arrogant and spoke more highly than the Black Dragon and the Primeval Sword Demon, could not help but fall silent. Even though they belonged to different races and were even enemies, their realms were somewhat beyond understanding. Even Ying Tianlang could not hide his respect for the Celestial Emperor who was in charge of a part of the Celestial Court.
Lu Xiaotian nodded. With their current cultivation level, talking about the Celestial Emperor was indeed too far-fetched.
Even though he did not get anything substantial from the Primeval Sword Demon, Lu Xiaotian still had some confidence in his heart. In that case, although the situation in the Tiansang Wasteland was complicated, it did not seem to have a particularly big impact on him. He was mainly facing those experts at the Celestial Immortal Realm. As for those above the Celestial Immortal Realm, it was not his turn to consider. Moreover, those above the Celestial Immortal Realm seemed to be useless no matter how much he thought about them.
After ending the conversation with the Primeval Sword Demon, Lu Xiaotian was somewhat speechless. Without the help of the wolf riders, his current strength was only at the Xuan Immortal Realm. Now, he had crossed paths with old monsters like Jiangchen and Yan Ji. Wandering among such experts really put a lot of pressure on his heart.
After meditating and adjusting his breath for a period of time, the sorrowful aura that lingered around him became thicker just like before. Even the three experts, Corpse Xiao, Corpse Jian, and Corpse Zhong, were somewhat uneasy. They looked at Lu Xiaotian with their gray eyes. If Lu Xiaotian still stayed here and did not leave, they would also urge him to leave.
Once the sorrowful aura was strong enough to a certain extent, it would have a certain impact on the Primordial Spirit. The Primordial Spirits of most of the ghouls were not strong. Corpse Xiao, Corpse Zhang, and Corpse Zhong were obviously weaker.
"Did senior tell you how to deal with the current situation?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"He didn't mention a single word. We're just following orders. Since he wants us to listen to Fellow Daoist Dongfang, feel free to instruct us if you need anything." Night Cry shook his head.
"I'm like a headless fly right now. I have no clue in this chaotic situation. Fellow Daoists, please don't blame me if I make a mistake." Lu Xiaotian said. Even though Night Cry's tone could be considered polite, it was still better to say the ugly things up front.
"Fellow Daoist Dongfang, don't worry. Since master has already instructed us, we'll listen to Fellow Daoist Dongfang before master issues a new order."
"Then I won't refuse. If I offend you in any way later on, please feel free to speak frankly. We can't stay here for long. The direction of the Dark Desiccation Sea is still uncertain. Let's think of a way to deal with our current predicament first. " Lu Xiaotian did not understand the current situation. He had to think of a way to protect himself in this strange place first.
Although he did not know what kind of game these old monsters were playing behind the scenes, Lu Xiaotian had more or less given up on the idea of obtaining the Tears of Sang Ling.
Being able to leave the Tiansang Wasteland in one piece was already very good for Lu Xiaotian. Even if he did not obtain the Tears of Sang Ling, this trip would not have been in vain. Not to mention that the Realm-Breaking Insect had already found a companion, he had learned many secrets in the Tiansang Wasteland. His experiences along the way were also very fruitful.
As long as he was in this Withered Mulberry Forest, the sense of sorrow lingering around him would not dissipate. Furthermore, it seemed to be growing as time passed. Lu Xiaotian did not have much of a reaction for a while. After all, his Primordial Spirit was strong enough. However, the auras of Night Cry and the other three were somewhat unstable. They were clearly not as calm as before.
"If we continue to wander around like this, I don't know when we'll reach the end." Shi Zhong let out a long sigh. After rushing along, resisting the sorrowful aura that constantly surged in from all directions had gradually made him feel strained.
Apart from Night Cry, who was the strongest, the others were not in a much better state.
Lu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I believe the great senior has been with me for a long time. He didn't say much. The foundation of the Tiansang Wasteland is far deeper than I imagined. Even the great senior is somewhat afraid and has no choice but to temporarily avoid it. Apart from doing my best, I really don't have much confidence."
"Master's eyes are like torches. Since he has chosen Fellow Dongfang, he must have his considerations. Fellow Dongfang, just put whatever ideas you have into action. There's no need to feel that it's inconvenient for you to command us since we've just met." Night Cry could see clearly and spoke directly to Lu Xiaotian's heart.
