CHAPTER 661: CHAPTER 490: ZHOU YAN MUST NOT BE KEPT!

The Vermilion Blood Ancestor looked at the Golden Silkworm Ancestor and the Heavenly Defect Saint Master: "I am fully prepared and have a way to break the Star Formation. As long as the two of you are willing to take action, we can surely shatter Shenzhou!"

True Immortals are aloof, yet mad.

Daemon True Immortals are even more unrestrained.

Faced with repeated calamities, even figures like the Vermilion Blood Ancestor feel deep despair, leading them to the madness of targeting the Shenzhou Heaven and Earth that nurtured them.

Destroy heaven and earth!

Seize the origin!

This is truly the conduct of the Demon Dao!

The Vermilion Blood Ancestor had obviously proposed his plan to the Golden Silkworm Ancestor and the Heavenly Defect Saint Master before, but the two felt it was too dangerous and unlikely to succeed, so neither agreed.

Today was not the first time the Vermilion Blood Ancestor had tried to persuade them.

Seeing the two still hesitating, the Vermilion Blood Ancestor continued: "The Daoists are at their peak. In forty thousand years, the One Origin Dao Sect alone has produced ten new True Immortals. Regardless of any tricks involved, the fires and calamities are real, and the True Immortals are real. If the Daoists continue unchecked, how many more True Immortals will emerge in a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand years?"

If a few new True Immortals emerged in Shenzhou, it would hardly affect its overall situation.

Even if ten or twenty emerged, in a Shenzhou already with over a thousand True Immortals, it would still be insignificant.

But now the terrifying part is that the One Origin Dao Sect produced ten True Immortals in just forty thousand years. At this rate, given hundreds of thousands more years, wouldn’t there be hundreds more True Immortals?!

Over time, where would there be any place for these demon races and demon paths in Shenzhou?

This is one of the reasons for the Vermilion Blood Ancestor’s urgency—

"The more Daoist True Immortals there are, the harder it is for us to succeed."

"Dragging it any further is truly disadvantageous."

The Vermilion Blood Ancestor sighed, glancing at the two, and said angrily: "This heaven and earth will eventually be managed as private land by the Daoists. Whether we can live to that time or not, even if we miraculously survive, we might be forced to flee to the stars. If so, why leave Shenzhou for the Daoists? Let’s just shatter this heaven and earth!"

His eyes were like blood moons, fierce and eerie.

Beside him.

The Heavenly Defect Saint Master shook his head and said: "In my humble opinion, if the One Origin Dao Sect truly has a Secret Technique to mass-produce True Immortals, they wouldn’t act this way. They could completely hide the emergence of these new True Immortals. Waiting until there are many more of them, then launching an unexpected attack, wouldn’t that be better? This current behavior seems more like a bluff, trying to disrupt our formation."

The less they have, the more they show off.

"The One Origin Dao Sect has deep roots, and with enough resources, producing ten True Immortals is not difficult."

"But trying to produce even more True Immortals in one breath would be beyond the One Origin Dao Sect’s capabilities."

"We must not be fooled and disrupt our formation."

The Heavenly Defect Saint Master remained unmoved.

He originated from the Shenzhou Heaven and Earth, and proving the Dao within it is fundamental. If Shenzhou were to shatter, even if he didn’t perish with it, without its familiar heaven and earth origin, and perhaps being repelled by the cosmos, future Daoist cultivation would become even more difficult.

"To seize the origin."

"Is to drink poison to quench thirst, is to self-destruct."

The Heavenly Defect Saint Master didn’t yet feel he was at a dead end and refused to join the Vermilion Blood Ancestor’s madness. Moreover, if the Vermilion Blood Ancestor truly acted to shatter Shenzhou, he might even intervene to stop it.

"This makes sense."

"It’s just ten new True Immortals, that’s all."

"In my opinion, this move by the Daoists might be just to make us make mistakes in the chaos."

"There are too many uncertain points in this, we cannot act rashly."

The Golden Silkworm Ancestor agreed after hearing these words.

"Foolish!"

"Stubborn!"

The Vermilion Blood Ancestor said solemnly: "When real is made false, false is made real. The Daoists deliberately play with this mix of reality and illusion to make us suspicious and hesitant. Just like when the Daoists established the Immortal Court and presided over the Four Continents, widely opening sects and enlightening all directions. By the time we were aware, the Daoists had already gained momentum."

The Vermilion Blood Ancestor did not shy away from assuming the worst intentions from the Daoists.

"Since reality and illusion cannot be seen clearly, then wait for a while longer."

"No matter what game the One Origin Dao Sect is playing, there will be a time when they slip up."

The Golden Silkworm Ancestor smiled and changed the topic: "This time, among the ten new True Immortals recently proved by the One Origin Dao Sect, they all seem to be under Duann Donghe. The leading one even proved the Dao at over three thousand years old. How much do you know about these two?"

Compared to directly shattering everything, the Golden Silkworm Ancestor preferred to resolve the matter of Duann Donghe and Zhou Yan, this master-disciple pair.

"Duann Donghe has proven the Dao for seven hundred thousand years, both his Daoist cultivation and practice are ordinary. Only after his disciple Zhou Yan proved the Dao did their disciples and grand-disciples consecutively achieve proving the Dao."

"But in my opinion, whether it’s Duann Donghe or Zhou Yan, they are just decoys by the Daoists to divert attention."

"The real point of concern should be the surge in Daoist True Immortals themselves."

The Vermilion Blood Ancestor focused solely on breaking Shenzhou and clearly looked down upon these two inexperienced True Immortals who had proven the Dao for less than a million years.

"Do not underestimate them."

"Nine of the ten new Daoist Immortals belong under Duann Donghe and Zhou Yan, there must be a reason for this."

The Golden Silkworm Ancestor took them very seriously.

Beside him.

The Heavenly Defect Saint Master agreed: "I once divined separately for Duann Donghe and Zhou Yan. Duann Donghe’s past and future are quite clear, but Zhou Yan is obscure, as if some treasure or higher being is obscuring his celestial secrets; there’s no way to figure it out. The One Origin Dao Sect’s rapid rise of ten True Immortals also began with Zhou Yan. There’s definitely something fishy about Zhou Yan."

The Heavenly Defect Saint Master spoke up.

"Oh?"

"Even Fellow Daoist Tiancan cannot deduce Zhou Yan’s celestial secrets?"
