CHAPTER 481: CHAPTER 474: BATTLE OF WITS AND COURAGE, NOT TEMPER (4TH UPDATE, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

Speaking of the moment of death, True Monarch Mo Yu began, "My aptitude is limited; Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul is my limit, and the probability of stepping into Divinity Transformation is almost hopeless. For the impact on Divinity Transformation, I don’t hold much hope anymore; my remaining lifespan is less than five hundred years, and I just want to fight for a place to live for future generations!"

"Indeed, if one out of a hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators can step into Divinity Transformation, it’s already pretty good!"

Everyone talked about the future, with endless sighs in their hearts.

Many cultivators rely more on luck to reach their current position.

If it were to start over, they might not be able to reach the current position.

"The Sea Race will come again, we should build a city and set up an array!" said True Monarch Mo Yu.

Saying so, everyone began to act.

Driven by techniques, cities rose up one after another, then arrays began to be laid out around them, and fortresses began to take shape.

Numerous arrays linked together, transformed into a terrifying Annihilation Array.

In just three days, the array was initially formed.

Sitting in the city, operating the array, the array activated, evolving into a Supreme Annihilation Array.

Lu Xuanji took a deep breath, took out the Lonely Boat with Raincoat and Hat Painting, and then threw the sealed Nascent Soul inside into the Alchemy Furnace, starting to refine Nascent Soul Pill.

War, indeed, is the best time to make a fortune.

"Huh, the Jade Dragon Princess actually escaped!"

Checking the elixirs, Lu Xuanji suddenly noticed something seemed missing, and upon careful counting, he realized the Jade Dragon Princess had actually escaped.

...

On an island in the East Sea, the void broke, and the next moment, a woman appeared, covered in blood, her aura even more languid.

She took out an elixir and consumed it; in about a moment, all injuries had healed.

"Lu Xuanji!"

Her eyes flashed with evil, and she almost got refined just now.

One Nascent Soul after another was thrown into the Alchemy Furnace, directly refined by Pure Yang True Flame, transforming into Nascent Soul Pills.

If not for the Sixth Grade Escape Talisman, he would also be refined and turned into ashes in the pill furnace at that moment.

This person is ruthless and unfeeling.

She activated the escape technique and disappeared, about three days later arriving at another island.

At this time, an exquisite aura fetched over, and she did not resist, allowing herself to be fetched.

The next moment, already appeared in the palace.

In the palace, a white-clothed man with Dragon Horns sat on the bed, comprehending cultivation, at this moment opened his eyes and said, "You are back!"

"Child is back!"

Long Yuege said.

"It’s good to return!"

The Jade Dragon King said, without extra expression.

Long Yuege knelt down, pleading guilty: "Child is incompetent, defeated by the Human Race Lu Xuanji!"

"Defeated means defeated, I was also defeated by the East Pole!" The Jade Dragon King said, "I lost, and you lost too. On the battlefield, we have over a hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators and tens of thousands of Golden Core Cultivators, but the opposite Human Race merely has over thirty Nascent Soul. Yet in the intense battle to the end, my Sea Race was utterly defeated and finally fled in panic!"

As he said this, the Jade Dragon King’s finger pointed, a scene appeared.

In the picture, there is the scene of the Human Race pursuing, and the Sea Race’s defeat.

Having more people doesn’t guarantee victory, but daring to risk one’s life does increase the odds.

In the battle, Human Race’s Nascent Souls fought fiercely, with a reckless attitude; but the Sea Race side was timid and fearful, and upon seeing unfavorable circumstances, immediately chose to escape.

In battle, they appeared stifled and incompetent.

"Do you know why my Sea Race lost so badly?"

The Jade Dragon King asked.

"My Sea Race, entirely consists of cowardly and death-fearing individuals!" Long Yuege said angrily.

"At the moment a tiger hunts a rabbit, for the tiger, a failed hunt means just a hungry belly; but for the rabbit, if it runs slow, it gets eaten. For the tiger, while hunting prey, facing some large prey that brings fatal injuries, it chooses to give up. Instead, it mainly preys upon small and less exhausting animals!"

"Though the tiger is fierce, known as the king of beasts, it is not absolutely invincible; once severely injured during hunting, it faces strong enemies encircling it and eventually falls!"

The Jade Dragon King said, "I’ve pondered this battle for a long time, and gradually found an answer. In this battle, whether in the quantity of Nascent Souls or Divinity Transformations, my Sea Race held the advantage, yet we lost because in this battle, we lacked the determination to fight to death. Once suffering heavy losses, we recoiled and retreated."

"But the Human Race is different; the Chu Country first encountered a surprise attack from the Demon Race, losing half their territory; then faced our Sea Race’s siege and are already in desperation, with no retreat left, they fought desperately. Fighting for territories and fighting for survival, are naturally very different!"

Cultivators, all fear death.

Cultivating Immortality, essentially is to attain eternal life, to gain a longer life.

If one is not afraid of death, then why cultivate immortality!

On the path of cultivating immortality, the stronger one is, the more afraid one is to die.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator fears death more than a Qi Refining Cultivator, a Golden Core Cultivator fears death more than a Commander Cultivator, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator fears death more than a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

This is the rule of the world; poor people have nothing but a worthless life, naturally not fearing death, often fight over trivial matters, for a few words, or for tens of coins, they take out a knife and hack others;

But those top aristocrats enjoy delicious food and beauties, hold great power, control the world, naturally fear death, unwilling to die.

If they die, how can they enjoy beauties, how can they enjoy power, how can they enjoy a good life.

In the Cultivation Immortality Realm, those Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators live for thousands of years, standing above billions, holding great power, their status is even higher than emperors of the past.

Naturally, they act cautiously, think thrice before acting, facing danger they first choose to run away, evacuate.

Expecting Nascent Souls and Golden Core Cultivators, like street hooligans, not caring about their own lives, fighting recklessly, taking out knives without hesitation, facing death fearlessly, treating their lives like discarded rags thrown on the ground, is unrealistic and impossible.

...

The Jade Dragon King’s cold words, analyzing the war situation.

Long Yuege remained silent for a moment, then asked, "Father, what should we do?"

"Recently, a Sea Race team attacked parts of Wu Country and Yue Country, successfully landing and occupying some territories. Since the situation there is open, we should head to Yue Country and Wu Country and capture the territories there!" The Jade Dragon King said, "As for Chu Country, we should better abandon it!"

"Father, I am unwilling!"

Long Yuege gritted his teeth and said.

"What good is unwillingness; wars require cost, they require benefits!" The Jade Dragon King said, "When a tiger hunts two prey, one brings fatal injuries, the other can be easily killed and fills the belly without risk. Choose which prey, you should understand!"

"As a ruler, one should fight with wisdom and courage, but never with obstinacy."
