Chapter 161: The Deity Transformation Cultivator from Great Jin!

"If that's truly the case, there's no need to establish this Immortal Cultivation Empire, is there?"

After hearing what Zhao Changsheng said, Master Le directly voiced her doubts. To her confusion, Zhao Changsheng replied with a smile.

"Indeed, there's no need to establish this Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Great Empire. However, I hope Fairy understands one thing: if this Empire isn't established, uniting the entire Tiannan Cultivation World and the Grassland Tribe would be an extremely difficult matter. Even I would likely have to use more brutal methods to make you obey my orders, and the losses then wouldn't be just a little."

"But if this Immortal Cultivation Empire is established, the losses will be much smaller. I can directly issue orders, making various Schools and families do their utmost to resolve this matter without paying such a high price—for instance, the division of interests between various powers and the extent of losses."

"You should be clear about this as well. If you are unwilling, there is only one way left: the Tiannan Cultivation World will unite with the Tuwu Clan to completely exterminate the Mulan Clan. Don't be in a hurry to get angry, because your anger is useless. Before me, you don't have much ability to resist. If it weren't because this matter isn't something I can achieve alone, I would never have let you join this Tiannan Empire. I think you should be very clear about this."

"It is precisely because you are useful that I have kept you until now and allowed your Mulan Clan and the Tuwu Clan to unite with our Tiannan Cultivation World. If not for this reason, you probably wouldn't even exist."

"I am not boasting; what I am saying is the truth. Whether you believe it or not is none of my concern. If you really don't believe it, I can spar with the three Fellow Daoists; I promise I won't kill them. However, heavy injuries will be unavoidable, so I hope you can consider carefully. I don't need extra opinions; I only need you to follow my orders."

Zhao Changsheng's words immediately caused the expressions of the many Masters of the Mulan Clan and the three Great Divine Masters to turn extremely ugly, for he was simply too arrogant.

He completely disregarded their entire tribe, as if in Zhao Changsheng's eyes, their whole tribe was like ants.

"Alright, I know you have anger and resentment in your hearts, but those are irrelevant. I must establish this Tiannan Empire. If you agree, then join it; if you don't, you will be destroyed directly. I came here just to inform you. Whether you agree or not, I have a way to solve it. I hope you can conduct yourselves well and not do anything foolish. If you truly do something foolish, I don't mind cleaning things up completely."

"I've said my piece. Whether you listen or not is your business. Farewell."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Changsheng turned and left. Naturally, the expressions of the Great Masters and the three Great Divine Masters of the Mulan Clan behind him turned even uglier. However, no matter how ugly their expressions were, they did not strike at Zhao Changsheng.

"Master Le, the three Divine Masters, what should we do next? Should we agree to what he said?"

"If we don't agree, the consequences might be more than we can bear. His current Divine Ability and strength are no longer comparable to ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators; perhaps even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators are only so-so."

A Great Master spoke directly; of course, in his heart, he was thinking about joining the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Great Empire Zhao Changsheng spoke of.

While these high-level members of the Mulan Clan were discussing, Zhao Changsheng was blocked by someone.

"As expected, I knew that with the capabilities of your Great Jin Cultivation World, you would surely know what is happening in the Tiannan Cultivation World today. But I really didn't expect you to be so fast, finding me so quickly. And to just happen to block me—what a coincidence. But what is your purpose for coming? Just say it; I don't want to waste words here."

Zhao Changsheng looked at the somewhat slick old man appearing before him and spoke with a smile.

Regarding this old man, Zhao Changsheng could guess his identity, but now he had only one identity: a Deity Transformation Cultivator from the Great Jin Cultivation World.

"Actually, if it weren't for an old friend sending a message to me, I wouldn't have believed that a Cultivator like Fellow Daoist would appear in the Tiannan Cultivation World. Even less would I believe that Fellow Daoist could possess such Divine Ability and strength. My encounter with Fellow Daoist is mainly because I was also heading to the Tiannan Cultivation World to meet you; I just didn't expect to meet so soon."

"I have come this time for only one thing, which I hope Fellow Daoist can agree to: do not establish the so-called Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Great Empire. This doesn't have much benefit for Fellow Daoist. As for what Fellow Daoist intends to do, I have just heard it and I greatly admire you, but Fellow Daoist should understand that this matter is not as simple as just talking about it."

"If it were so easy to do, we old fellows would have acted long ago. Why wait until now?"

The old man's words made Zhao Changsheng laugh even more brilliantly, even speaking with a hint of sarcasm.

"That's because you don't have the ability. If you did, you wouldn't have waited until now without acting. I believe Senior won't deny this. Senior's purpose for coming to the Tiannan Cultivation World is to stop me, or rather, to make me stop interfering in the affairs of the Mortal Realm. But aren't you also interfering in the affairs of the Mortal Realm? I am not a Soul Transformation Cultivator like you, so there's no need for me to follow the rules between you. Your rules are your rules; what do they have to do with me? I am just a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator. So don't apply your rules to me, and don't command me to do anything I am unwilling to do."

The old man's face turned somewhat unpleasant, and his tone became slightly cold.

"But Fellow Daoist's Divine Ability and strength are already no weaker than an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator. Even we old fellows might not be able to achieve what Fellow Daoist has."

"Under these circumstances, we naturally must step in to stop you. I hope Fellow Daoist can reconsider and stop interfering in the current Mortal Realm. If Fellow Daoist continues to interfere, we old fellows won't be polite. I presume Fellow Daoist wouldn't want to be our enemy either."

The old man's words became increasingly cold and full of threats.

"You're right, and what you say is correct; I agree and concur with all of it. But have you ever considered one thing? That is, you might not be able to harm me, nor might you be able to kill me. On the contrary, no one can hinder or stop what I want to do. If you insist on stopping me, then don't blame me for being impolite. I know that because of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, you cannot use your full power, so don't come provoking me anymore. If you insist on provoking me, the outcome will definitely not be good. This I can guarantee."

"I hope you can understand and grasp this point. Alright, Senior, stop saying those useless words; even if you say more, you won't be able to stop me. Besides, I am doing this for the sake of the entire Mortal Realm. Do you not want the Mortal Realm to return to how it was in ancient times? Or do you feel that only this way can you maintain your status and position, giving you supreme status? I don't care what you think; as for me, I only want to restore the cultivation environment of the ancient Mortal Realm."

"Only in this way does the Mortal Realm have hope of progressing further. Only then can we have the hope of breaking through to the Soul Transformation Stage Great Perfection. If we cannot reach that step, then none of us can normally ascend to the Spirit Realm. I believe Senior should be very clear and understand this."

"So I also don't wish to fall out with Senior, nor do I want Senior to continue obstructing me. That wouldn't benefit any of us. I believe Senior is well aware of this, so there's no need for me to elaborate further. I hope Senior can be a bit more reasonable and not think I am speaking useless or arrogant words."

"What I intend to do naturally has a possibility of success; it's not entirely without hope. I also hope Senior can understand a little."

"What Fellow Daoist says, I naturally know, and I understand your painstaking efforts. But Fellow Daoist should understand that once a mistake occurs and those Ancient Devilish Qi are released, it will be devastating for the entire Mortal Realm. At that time, do you not know how great a price will be needed to Seal those Ancient Devilish Qi again?"

"Or does Fellow Daoist feel that you can change the current situation of the Mortal Realm by yourself? Even if Fellow Daoist establishes such an Immortal Cultivation Empire, how can it truly change anything? Even if Fellow Daoist exerts all your strength to undo those Seals, how can you eliminate this true devilish qi?"

"Perhaps they are useful to some Cultivators who practice ancient Demonic Techniques, but for the majority of Cultivators, they are of no use and are instead a disaster. Once tainted, not only will one's Realm drop, but one might also be eroded of their sanity, turning into a monster that is neither human nor demon."

"For the entire Mortal Realm, it is only a catastrophe, not a salvation; it will only destroy the entire Mortal Realm."

"I believe Fellow Daoist should be very clear about this, so why persist in your obsession? Perhaps Fellow Daoist truly has the strength, but this gamble really cannot be made. Otherwise, once a mistake occurs, the entire Mortal Realm will be destroyed. We old fellows don't care about our current status and position; if restoring the Mortal Realm's condition could allow us to break through to the Soul Transformation Stage Great Perfection, we would naturally do it at any cost."

"But that cost absolutely cannot drag down the entire Mortal Realm, nor can it destroy it. What Fellow Daoist is doing now is gambling with the entire Mortal Realm. Once the gamble is lost, the whole Mortal Realm will be destroyed. Therefore, we simply cannot afford to gamble, nor can we gamble. I hope Fellow Daoist can understand this reasoning."

"If Fellow Daoist truly persists in your obsession and insists on doing this, then we old fellows can only ask for a lesson or two to see how Fellow Daoist intends to establish this Immortal Cultivation Empire."

The old man gave a bitter smile and then spoke.

His words caused the smile on Zhao Changsheng's face to fade completely, replaced by a solemn expression he had never shown before.

Because Zhao Changsheng knew very well that what the old man said was not false; it was something that could truly happen.

"If I can resolve this Ancient True Devilish Qi, would Senior also be willing to help me resolve the current situation of the Mortal Realm?"

Zhao Changsheng asked a crucial question regarding being able to resolve the true devilish qi. This was the thing the old man and his group of old fellows feared and were most concerned about. If it weren't for this, the old man and the others might have acted long ago. "If Fellow Daoist truly can resolve this true devilish qi, then I naturally wouldn't mind lending a helping hand. However, Fellow Daoist had better give me a hint as to how you will resolve this true devilish qi. This thing isn't so easily dealt with, as I'm sure Fellow Daoist is aware."

"I naturally have my own ways; I hope Senior can understand."

Zhao Changsheng smiled but did not say it directly.

"If Fellow Daoist is unwilling to say, then I really cannot believe it. After all, this matter concerns the life and death of the entire Mortal Realm. I really don't dare and am unwilling to make this gamble. I hope Fellow Daoist can understand."

"I naturally understand that, but this matter involves my own secrets, so naturally there can't be any issues, nor can I tell anyone. Otherwise, it could easily bring unnecessary trouble. Under these circumstances, I can only say this, and I hope Senior can believe it. If Senior truly is unwilling to believe it, then there's no other way."

Zhao Changsheng thought for a moment and could only answer this way, as he had no way to tell the old man before him the method he intended to use.

"Without a definite method or a way to absolutely resolve the true devilish qi, I absolutely cannot agree, nor will I help. Instead, I will do my utmost to stop you, and might even strike at Fellow Daoist. I know Fellow Daoist's Divine Ability and strength are now comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, but I am, after all, a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator. There are many Divine Abilities and means that Fellow Daoist does not know of, or rather, cannot compare with."

"I hope Fellow Daoist can understand these things."

T

Threats, more threats, and completely unmasked ones at that. As for these threats, Zhao Changsheng similarly didn't care and instead shook his head. "I naturally know these things, Senior, but everything I've said is true, with nothing false. I also hope Senior can be more understanding. If Senior insists on acting, then I won't be polite either."
