510: The Taoist Master's Plan

Su Changqing entered the Secret Realm with the Grand Elder.

The familiar location, the familiar fishing.

After the Grand Elder motioned to Su Changqing, he silently departed.

Su Changqing slowly walked forward.

Dao Immortal Lord stood up, put down his fishing rod, and looked at him with a smile.

"You've arrived."

"Mm!"

Su Changqing nodded.

"Have you come for the matter of the Saint Demon Realm?"

Dao Immortal Lord's words surprised Su Changqing, but he still nodded.

"That's right, Senior knows about the Saint Demon Realm matter?"

Dao Immortal Lord sighed softly, then said seriously:

"Indeed, the matter of the Saint Demon Realm, one could say it was orchestrated by me."

As soon as Dao Immortal Lord spoke, an expression of disbelief appeared on Su Changqing's face.

The matter of the Saint Demon Realm was orchestrated by this Senior?

How could this be?

One must know that the Devilish Qi of the Saint Demon Realm is spreading daily, and one day, the two great worlds will inevitably open a passage, at which point, the two great worlds might even merge into one.

This is not a good thing for the Immortal Realm.

Because those devils feed on humans.

Devouring Human Immortals can make them stronger.

"This..."

"What does Immortal Lord mean by this?"

"That Saint Demon Realm feeds on Human Immortals; introducing them into the Immortal Realm would probably be no less than a catastrophe for the entire Immortal Realm."

Su Changqing said with a deep frown.

Dao Immortal Lord did not refute:

"You are right, those devils feed on humans; if they enter the Immortal Realm, they will inevitably feed on Human Immortals to increase their cultivation."

"But have you ever considered one point, if the Ancient Gods revive, the Seventy-two Ancient Gods, each with the cultivation of the Immortal Emperor Realm, with their disgust and anger towards other living beings, how many people in the Immortal Realm could survive?"

Dao Immortal Lord's words were like a heavy hammer, striking hard at Su Changqing's heart.

That's right!

If the Ancient Gods revive, there might not be many survivors in the entire Immortal Realm.

The Seventy-two Ancient Gods, each possessing the cultivation of the Immortal Emperor Realm.

He, Su Changqing, was even a thorn in the side of the Ancient Gods.

With the revival of the Ancient Gods, he would definitely be number one on the Ancient Gods' kill list.

"And a thousand years ago, I discovered a passage connecting the Saint Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm. Although that passage was blocked, the Saint Demon Realm was secretly clearing it. I could have blocked the passage completely, but thinking that the Ancient Gods would one day revive, I chose to let them clear it."

"Even, a few days ago, I had a premonition that the time for the Ancient Gods to descend was near, so I secretly helped the Saint Demon Realm clear that passage."

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Dao Immortal Lord's mouth.

In reality, he had no choice but to do this.

After all, the revival of the Ancient Gods was far beyond what the Immortal Realm could handle.

And by doing this, he was drawing the Saint Demon Realm into this conflict as well, to share the Immortal Realm's pressure.

Only then did Su Changqing understand Dao Immortal Lord's intention.

So that's how it is.

"So you, Senior, lured the Saint Demon Realm here, just to deal with the Ancient Gods together?"

Su Changqing spoke.

Dao Immortal Lord nodded.

"Moreover, if the Fusion of the two great worlds is promoted, the world Rank of the Immortal Realm can be greatly increased, thereby creating an opportunity to nurture more Immortal Emperors, and even an existence beyond the Immortal Emperor."

This was Dao Immortal Lord's ultimate thought.

The Immortal Realm and the Saint Demon Realm are both two of the most top-tier worlds.

If these two great worlds were to merge, the world quality would greatly improve.

There would be a chance to produce more powerhouses in the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Not only that, but it might even produce an existence beyond the Immortal Emperor.

Dao Immortal Lord was unsure if such a Realm truly existed.

Immortal Emperor seemed to be the end of the immortal path.

What kind of existence lay beyond that, he did not know.

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing's gaze was profound.

It must be said that Dao Immortal Lord's move was brilliant and very bold.

Ordinary people would never dare to take such a risk.

"So that's how it is."

Su Changqing took a deep breath.

This plan was truly astounding, but Su Changqing could understand it all.

To put it simply, everything Dao Immortal Lord did was for the Immortal Realm.

"In the future, when the Saint Demon Realm descends, I might become a sinner of the Immortal Realm, but I don't care about these slanders."

If one day, the Saint Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm merge into one world, a large number of Human Immortals will inevitably be massacred by devils, and many low-level Human Immortals will become cannon fodder.

This was also the price.

Su Changqing said:

"If there is blame to bear, please include me."

Su Changqing cupped his hands and smiled slightly at Dao Immortal Lord.

The latter was somewhat surprised, not expecting Su Changqing to say such a thing.

Opening the Saint Demon Realm for Fusion, causing countless Human Immortals to be massacred, if this were recorded in the Immortal Calendar, it would likely bear infamy for billions of years.

He hadn't expected Su Changqing to be so open-minded.

However, this also showed that he hadn't misjudged this young man.

"I believe that one day, you might become the one to change the fate of the Immortal Realm."

Dao Immortal Lord said sincerely.

Su Changqing chuckled, not refuting.

He didn't want his family and friends to die at the hands of the Ancient Gods.

So, then let the Ancient Gods die.

If those devils are unwilling to cooperate, then let them all die together!

"Since you're here, accompany me to see where the weak barrier of the Saint Demon Realm is."

Dao Immortal Lord said with a smile.

"Good!"

Su Changqing nodded.

And then, the old and the young disappeared from this place.

Soon, Su Changqing followed Dao Immortal Lord to a place similar to a battlefield.

"This, is the Ancient Battlefield of the Ten Thousand Domains Competition from back then?"

Su Changqing said in a condensed voice.

He looked at everything around him, feeling extremely familiar.

Dao Immortal Lord nodded.

"That's right, I also unexpectedly discovered that the spatial barrier here is relatively weak, and some lower Rank devils have already infiltrated this place. I also sensed that the other side is trying their best to open this barrier."

All of this was within Dao Immortal Lord's expectations.

As for the Ancient Battlefield trial back then, it was merely going with the flow.

Su Changqing looked at the spatial barrier in front of him, which was quite weak.

Moreover, his Divine Sense spread out, and he could feel many devils nearby.

Of course, their cultivation was not high, only equivalent to the Golden Immortal Realm.

This level of cultivation, for him now, could be erased with a single thought.

However, he didn't pay attention to these devils.

Their cultivation was too weak; he was too lazy to act.

Of course, the main reason was that he thought the same as Dao Immortal Lord: he wanted the Saint Demon Realm on the other side to merge into the Immortal Realm sooner.

At that time, they could face the pressure of the Ancient Gods together.

If they were to die, they would all die together.

"I really don't know what those devils will feel one day when they painstakingly open the passage, promoting the Fusion of the two worlds, only to find that they have to face the terrifying existences of the Ancient Gods. They'll probably wish they were dead."

Su Changqing chuckled teasingly.

Dao Immortal Lord also let out a soft laugh, looking at the spatial barrier in front of him with a calm expression.

"Let's go. Since you've come to my Supreme Immortal Court, I can't treat you poorly. These past few days, I'll enlighten you on your cultivation and impart my insights on advancing to the Immortal Emperor, all to you."
