'Why did I sleep so deeply?'

The next day, Wu Wang sat up from the soft bed, holding his neck. The pillow he had been using was now a round pillow, and there was no trace of the old aunt.

Elemental Infant slightly sensed and realized that he had slept for seven or eight hours, and half a day of good time had passed in a daze.

"Suqing, why didn't you call me?"

No response at all.

Wu Wang released his spiritual awareness and saw that the other bedroom in the small building was covered by Mu Da Xian's immortal power, and he could faintly hear the sound of water splashing.

Hmm...

The Lord of the Sect had no waves in his heart, and he even felt like laughing.

Why did he involuntarily think of the scene when he faced the Evil God Hissing Snake that time, and himself and Fairy Ling meeting in the woods?

Ling Xiaolan, the second Heavenly Tranquility Saint of the Mysterious Female Sect, the rumored 'future Empress's Dao Companion', whom the Master of the Demon Sect, Master Wuwang, was willing to call the King of Bathing!

That was truly powerful.

Wu Wang walked to the side of the screen with his hands behind his back, humming a tune, and changed into looser clothes, letting his long hair down.

Ascending to Immortality.

He was only one step away from becoming an immortal.

He looked inward and saw that the Elemental Infant was like a jade carving, occasionally emitting a brilliant light, and sometimes he could see the image of the Elemental Infant sitting cross-legged in a starry sky.

In the abdomen, the Qi Sea, shaped like an elliptical 'galaxy', was quietly rotating, and the Golden Elixir on it had become translucent.

This Golden Elixir, which encompassed the realms of Golden Elixir, Spiritual Tranquility, Elemental Infant, Leaping Spirit, and Ascending to Immortality, would complete its final mission when Wu Wang became an immortal - to invoke the 'true self' nurtured within it, combine with the Elemental Infant, and transform into the Divine Spirit.

The Divine Spirit, the god of oneself.

When he formed the Golden Elixir, he initially condensed his own path, and then combined it with the Elemental Infant to achieve the Divine Spirit and the Immortal Spirit, opening the realm of immortality.

'Should I first cultivate the Elemental Immortal through the path of fire?'

Wu Wang pondered this and found a bamboo stool in the attic, went outside to bask in the sun, and took out a scroll to continue thinking about this matter.

The path of fire and the path of stars were both top-level paths, but because of the existence of the Yan Emperor's decree and the strategy of the senior predecessors, he couldn't completely focus on the path of fire.

Who knows, if he cultivates for a while, this path might suddenly disappear, and the new Emperor will directly take over, leaving him with nothing.

On the other hand, the Star God had his mother's help, so there was no need to hesitate in choosing.

Leaning back in the chair, Wu Wang relaxed his mood.

Yang Wudi and Zhang Mushi were standing not far away, both wearing black robes. At the moment, they had their legs crossed and their hands behind their backs, scaring away the junior disciples who dared not approach.

They performed well today, not giving him any chance to speak.

Mao Aowu had just been punished with twenty years of salary, but there was no hurry to exploit Yang Wudi.

Why not punish Zhang Mushi?

Mainly because Zhang Mushi was serious, while Yang Wudi's bald head was knocked open, and the brain inside was black!

Wu Wang held the scroll and read it, quickly becoming absorbed in his thoughts, sitting there without moving for a long time.

In a corner of the destroyed sect, the new residence of the Sect Master had taken shape.

It was a cave mansion in the style of a grand hall, embedded in the mountain wall;

The deep part of the mountain wall was covered with more than ten layers of sturdy stone, sealed with formations, and closely connected to the mountain protection array.

The front door of the cave mansion was still under repair, and an elder in the Heavenly Immortal realm who was skilled in carving was carving two five-zhang tall ferocious beasts.

The inside of the cave mansion was quite spacious, with the stone walls on all sides being polished smooth. In the center, the ten-zhang square shallow pool had been excavated, and two female demon cultivators from the Black Desire Sect were planting lotus flowers.

They would later ask Wu Wang whether to place a large bed in the center of the lotus pool or a cushion here.

Many wives of the Sect Masters in the Demon Sect liked this style, and the female disciples of the Black Desire Sect didn't understand it too well, after all, they were all pure practitioners of charm techniques.

Not far from this 'construction' cave mansion was Lin Qi's residence.

Lin Qi took a deep breath and looked at the empty bed in front of him. He closed his eyes nervously and slowly lay down.

He could do it!

The first move he learned from comprehending in his dreams was to control his dreams!

If the teacher could do it, he could do it too!

Before long, Lin Qi stood up straight, full of energy, but the insights accumulated from comprehending in his dreams couldn't be suppressed anymore, so he could only regretfully jump to the cushion and meditate.

After breaking through in this seclusion, he would continue to try!

He was also full of enthusiasm.

The Lin family's guards had also settled in the destroyed sect, taking turns to be on duty, paying attention to their young master Lin Qi, and contributing to the security system of the destroyed sect.

With transcendent experts guarding, as well as the supervision of the Renhuang Pavilion and the Lin family guards, and the high-level experts of the destroyed sect itself.

At this moment, the destroyed sect did give people a sense of stability.

Unconsciously, Wu Wang sat in front of the door for nearly half an hour, until Lin Suqing came slowly and brought tea and snacks, breaking this scene.

"Young Master, it's time to rest."

"Yeah," Wu Wang didn't take his eyes off the book in front of him, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "This tea is so sweet, how did you make it?"

Lin Suqing proudly said, "I added honey!"

"Well done!"

Wu Wang smiled, "Drinking tea is about tasting its own flavor. How was a tea leaf picked and processed? How does it appear in this boiling hot water, releasing such a natural meaning?

Although the taste blended well, it lost some of the essence of tea."

Lin Suqing blinked, slightly stuck out her tongue, and whispered, "Then I won't make these anymore in the future."

"Make it, why not make it?"Wu Wang took a big sip and said casually, "I just said it casually to make it sound more sophisticated. Give me another cup."

Lin Suqing almost grabbed the tray and threw it out, making a grimace at Wu Wang before turning back to the attic.

She went to make honey tea.

Wu Wang was about to continue pondering over the book in his hand when the necklace on his chest trembled slightly, and he felt a reminder in his heart.

"Ba'er, don't go to the northern border of the Human Realm in the near future."

"Mother, what's going on?"

Wu Wang asked in his heart, but he didn't get a response.

His mother's tone just now wasn't urgent, it was calm, but with a hint of severity. She cut off the communication hastily, as if she was worried that the voice transmission would be intercepted.

It seems that the Heavenly Palace is about to make a move on the Human Realm.

Wu Wang closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, repeatedly telling himself not to be too nervous no matter how the situation changes or if there is any movement in the northern part of the Human Realm.

If the Heavenly Palace could easily destroy the Human Realm, they wouldn't have let it grow to this extent.

If the Human Realm had the strength to attack the Heavenly Palace, the seniors wouldn't have waited for a thousand years to take action.

At this moment, no matter what kind of movement or commotion occurs on both sides, it can be seen as a conspiracy or a test.

Wu Wang looked inwardly at his spiritual platform, gazing at the flame, and after a little thought, he decided to enter a strand of spiritual consciousness and called out in his heart:

"Lord Father-in-law? Lord Father-in-law? I have something important to report."

No response?

"You old man, I found out where Jing Wei is! I'll take her to elope tomorrow!"

"How dare you!"

A loud shout came from the Yan Emperor's command, causing Wu Wang's spiritual platform to tremble.

Wu Wang laughed happily and said, "The Heavenly Palace may be making a move. Senior, be careful not to be fooled. Their ultimate goal is still to seize the Dao of Fire."

On the northern side of the Human Realm, on the long wall, Shen Nong listened to Wu Wang's voice and couldn't help but twitch his mouth, but he didn't pay much attention to this guy.

Saying more at this moment would only make this little guy worry.

Further north, a large dark cloud slowly approached the Human Realm, with dozens of astonishing auras on it, and the enormous bodies of ten Evil Gods could be vaguely seen.

There were no hordes of fierce beasts, no experts from various races.

The minor gods were the soldiers, and the major gods were the generals. At the top of the dark cloud stood a figure that couldn't be distinguished as male or female, with a strange mask on their face, standing with their hands behind their back.

Heavenly Palace, Deputy Deity of Lifespan.

...

After half a day of friendly communication with the Emperor of the Human Realm, a thunderous sound suddenly resounded in the northern border of the Human Realm, and streams of light rushed towards the Heavenly Palace.

A piece of news spread rapidly throughout the Human Realm with the spread of the transmission jade talisman.

【The Heavenly Palace launched a surprise attack on the Human Realm with dozens of gods. The Emperor of the Human Realm led a group of experts to confront them, and a great battle has begun within a radius of ten thousand miles in the northern border.】

In front of Elder Miao's attic, Wu Wang heard this news without any surprise and continued to read with his head down.

But the experts of the annihilated sect couldn't sit still and gathered here spontaneously.

"Master!"

An elder shouted, but was gestured by the Great Elder not to speak.

Wu Wang acted as if nothing had happened and just focused on his own reading.

More and more figures gathered in front of the attic, as if only by gathering with others could they relieve the tension in their hearts.

This great battle truly determined the fate of the Human Realm.

The Deputy Deity of Lifespan, the rumored god who controlled the life and death of all beings, finally descended from the Heavenly Palace and appeared in front of the Human Realm for the first time, about to battle the Emperor of the Human Realm.

Mu Da Xian and Lin Suqing also showed up at the window, joining the queue waiting for news.

With his profound cultivation, the Great Elder could already sense the situation of the battle in the northern sky.

There, the orderly Great Dao had turned into chaos, and the air was filled with both pure and impure auras, with occasional fractures in the Dao.

Even from such a distance, the spiritual energy in the sky and earth began to surge towards the northern border.

In the next few months, it would be difficult for the spiritual energy to recover to its usual level.

Four hours later.

A jade talisman flew through the clouds and landed in Lin Qi's hand. Lin Qi rushed towards Wu Wang with the jade talisman in his hand.

"Teacher! The northern border is temporarily winning!"

The voice of an old woman came from the jade talisman, "The Deputy Deity of Lifespan is no match for the Emperor of the Human Realm, but the Deputy Deity of Lifespan has gathered several gods from the Heavenly Palace and trapped the Emperor of the Human Realm!"

Wu Wang held the book and asked, "Are there any casualties among the other experts?"

"Eleven Transcendents died in the battle in the Human Realm, and three minor gods died in the Heavenly Palace!"

Wu Wang nodded slightly, "Notify everyone immediately when there is news."

"Yes!"

Lin Qi agreed and went to wait on the side with the transmission jade talisman.

"Master," the Great Elder whispered, "I want to go to the northern border to fight the enemy."

"Great Elder, please wait for the order from the Renhuang Pavilion."

Wu Wang said, "If you rush over, it may disrupt our own deployment. Since we have already reached the Transcendent realm, we should continue to move forward until we reach a point where we can no longer advance, and then think about how to fight higher-level gods. There shouldn't be any problems in the Human Realm this time, so just rest assured."

The Great Elder nodded slightly at the words, but he was still somewhat restless, pacing back and forth.

Another two hours passed, and the sky had brightened.

Ji Mo jumped in front of Wu Wang with a jade talisman in his hand, and an old woman's voice came from it, "The Emperor of the Human Realm is victorious! My good grandson, you don't have to worry. Grandma is chasing and killing several gods together with Lord Liu!"

The demons around them let out a long sigh of relief, and a group of muscular men shouted and stomped their feet, silently roaring.

"Grandma, please be careful," Ji Mo looked at Wu Wang and heard Wu Wang's voice transmission reminder. He said loudly, "Don't chase after the defeated enemy, they might have set a trap."

The old woman agreed repeatedly, her words filled with relief. She wanted to praise her grandson, but suddenly shouted:

"It's a trap ahead! Stop!"

The surrounding cultivators who were still cheering had a change in expression. Wu Wang also leaned forward nervously, after all, this was Ji Mo's grandmother.

A thunderous roar resounded from the jade talisman, and faintly, the hissing and roaring of the Hissing Snake could be heard.

Liu Bairen's voice came from afar, "Don't be afraid! I will kill this Nine-Tailed Fox!"

Crack!

The jade talisman exploded directly, Ji Mo's face turned pale, and his lips trembled a few times.

"My, my grandmother..."

"Calm down," Wu Wang immediately gave up his seat, pulled Ji Mo to sit down, and called two female disciples of the Black Desire Sect to help him regulate his breath. Ji Mo quickly calmed down.

"Grandmother will definitely be fine, she will definitely be fine."

The entire rift valley fell silent, and many people looked up at the narrow sky, wondering when the next jade talisman would fly over.

From dawn until noon, several jade talismans flew over one after another!

Orders from the Renhuang Pavilion!

Lin Family's message jade talisman, Ji Family's message jade talisman, and the Renhuang Pavilion's message to Wu Wang!

Fortunately, the order was not for the Great Elder, but it fell into Mao Aowu's hands, allowing each branch to send reinforcements to the Northern Territory.

The content of the other three message jade talismans was similar, all about the battle in the Northern Territory.

Wu Wang handed the jade talisman to Yang Wudi and asked him to read it out loud.

Great victory in the Northern Territory.

His Majesty the Human Emperor personally killed seven Precelestial Divine Spirits, and the experts of the Human Realm joined forces to defeat six Precelestial Gods. Sixteen Transcendent Realm experts from the Human Realm died, and more than thirty were injured.

After the initial battle, the gods of the Heavenly Palace retreated, and His Majesty the Human Emperor ordered a cautious pursuit, repeatedly seeing through the enemy's ambushes.

Deputy Deity of Lifespan suffered heavy injuries, and the nephew of the Ten Evil Gods was killed by a joint attack.

In this battle, the Northern Territory's wall collapsed for six thousand miles, and there were no casualties among the cultivators below the Transcendent Realm. The experts of the Human Realm killed their way into the depths of Central Mountain...

Yang Wudi shouted loudly, "Great victory!"

The demonic cultivators cheered in unison, their momentum shaking the heavens.

"Tonight, we shall celebrate!"

"The Human Emperor is invincible! The Human Realm shall stand forever!"

"The Human Realm shall stand forever!"

Mao Aowu happily said, "Master, should we celebrate tonight? Should we send the news to the various sects?"

"This is indeed worth celebrating, but there is no need to spread it to the various sects. We will wait for the announcement from the Renhuang Pavilion."

Wu Wang smiled, "Although I just ordered not to hold a grand feast, we can still celebrate at the right time. But only this once."

"Thank you, Master!"

"Let the youngsters have fun!"

The valley was filled with joy as men, women, and children sang and danced. A group of body cultivators set up a pool of wine and started competing in drinking.

Wu Wang did not join in the revelry, but sat back in his chair and continued reading his book.

Not long after, Elder Miao floated over from the side and stood next to Wu Wang, leaning against the door panel. Her appearance seemed dignified, but in fact, the fabric covered only the parts that didn't need to be covered, making her even more charming.

"Master, how about having a drink with me?"

Wu Wang said calmly, "How much can you drink?"

Elder Miao leaned forward, and Wu Wang instinctively leaned back, but she still blew a breath in his ear.

"Just one cup, and I'll be drunk."

"In that case, forget it. I prefer drinking with women who can hold their liquor."

"Hmph!"

Elder Miao bit her silver teeth lightly, almost kicking Wu Wang in anger, and then floated away.

"Elder Miao," Wu Wang suddenly called out, with a pensive look in his eyes. He quickly made up his mind.

"What's the matter?"

Elder Miao turned around, crossed her arms, and said, "This elder is not interested anymore!"

Wu Wang raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Go and invite the Great Elder, Mao Aowu, Ji Mo, Lin Qi, Yang Wudi, and Zhang Moshan to come over. I have something to say to all of you.

It's a serious matter."

"Understood," Elder Miao agreed and turned to float towards the crowd in the distance.

As she left, she muttered words like "I've never seen a man like you" and "You have no taste at all," which made Lin Suqing, who was leaning against the window on the second floor, laugh uncontrollably.

...

A moment later, in the front hall of Elder Miao's attic.

Wu Wang sat behind the desk, with eight people standing or sitting in front of him. Except for the sleeping Mu Daxian, who was lying on a pile of exercise books, the people who were closest to Wu Wang from the annihilated sect had all gathered here.

"Ji Mo, is your grandmother alright?"

"She suffered some minor injuries, but she has already recovered," Ji Mo smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Wu Wang."

Lin Qi took the initiative to say, "Father is not injured, and he also killed one of the minor gods in the battle."

Wu Wang said, "How do you all view the battle report that was sent back?"

Yang Wudi, who had drunk some wine, couldn't help but mutter, "This is a victory, it's definitely a good thing."

Ji Mo smiled, "The Renhuang Pavilion did not exaggerate the results of the battle. Our messages have been cross-referenced, and the difference is negligible. This time, we did achieve a great victory in the Human Realm."

The Great Elder pondered for a moment and said:

"There are some tricks in the wording. The divine spirits with real names and surnames are actually the nephew of the Ten Evil Gods, who is not ranked too high among the ten. This should be the strongest divine spirit killed in the battle on the side of the Heavenly Palace.

The results of the battle are not that significant."

Lin Qi said, "Compared to the casualties in the Transcendent Realm of the Human Realm, we did win, but it was still a close victory."

"The matter I want to talk about is not about this."

Wu Wang lightly tapped the desk with his finger and said slowly:

"Everyone here is someone I can completely trust, and what I'm about to say won't have any impact on the overall situation of the Human Realm. It's just a reminder.

The biggest challenge for the Human Realm since its establishment is about to come."

Everyone was puzzled, and even the Great Elder looked at Wu Wang with some confusion.

Wu Wang didn't keep them in suspense and said slowly:

"What I'm about to say is all speculation, just listen."

```Following the great victory in the northern border, the Deputy Deity of Lifespan was personally injured by the Heavenly Emperor, one of the ten Evil Gods was slain, and a dozen other deities were killed or injured. This news would soon spread throughout the Human Realm.

There was no way to hide such news. Even if the benevolent emperor wanted to conceal it, it would still leak out through different channels.

But this was just the beginning.

As this news spread, another piece of news would soon follow.

The experts who pursued to the Central Mountain would discover that a large area of the Central Mountain had turned into a lifeless desert. The Heavenly Palace had overdrawn the vitality of the Central Mountain by nurturing the tide of ferocious beasts for countless years.

Along with this news, there would also be news of the worsening condition of the Deputy Deity of Lifespan, the Heavenly Emperor nearing his twilight years, and so on.

Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "pawread dot com"

You will soon find that the Heavenly Palace is no longer terrifying, no longer suffocating.

In the next few decades, there will be no more tides of ferocious beasts on the northern border. Perhaps there will even be news that the ten Evil Gods are no longer obeying the orders of the Heavenly Palace.

In short, in the eyes of most cultivators, the archenemy of the Human Realm will soon become less formidable."

"Sect Master..."

The Great Elder whispered, "Is this the calculation of the Heavenly Palace?"

"It should be," Wu Wang said, "Of course, it would be better if it's not a calculation. But if it really is, that Deputy Deity is truly ruthless."

Lin Qi hurriedly asked, "Don't they know this is a calculation? What's the benefit of such a calculation?"

"This should only be the first step of their plan. There will be a series of actions to follow, aiming to incite internal strife in the Human Realm and dissolve it from within."

Lin Suqing gently asked, "Wouldn't this demoralize the Heavenly Palace's side?"

"What does the Heavenly Palace need morale for?"

Wu Wang laughed:

"They are the victors of the divine era, they only care about their interests. Gods are different from us humans.

You see, you all find it hard to accept what I'm saying, which shows how tricky their strategy is.

The Human Realm has been oppressed by the Heavenly Palace for too long, living in fear and frustration. The Deputy Deity of Lifespan is calculating human hearts, using both covert and overt schemes.

At this moment, our Heavenly Emperor must be having a headache."

Mao Aowu frowned, "I may not be cut out for this."

"You have to be," Wu Wang said, "The time the Heavenly Palace will leave for the Human Realm should not exceed a hundred years. Their ultimate goal is to reclaim the Great Dao of Fire. Do you know what this means?"

Mao Aowu murmured, "The annihilation of the Human Realm... I'll try my best."

Wu Wang looked at Lin Qi and advised earnestly:

"Lin Qi, you need to go out regularly, be a chivalrous hero, and build up your reputation.

You also need to learn to fully utilize your current fame. Later, you will need to speak out and influence the atmosphere of the Human Realm."

Lin Qi felt the pressure and said softly, "Master, I'll try my best..."

Ji Mo laughed, "What should I do?"

"Make friends with the families of generals in secret."

Wu Wang laughed, "You and Lin Qi, one in the open and one in the shadows, should cooperate with each other. Lin Qi will influence the cultivation sects, and you will win over the generals. Then, through these young generals, you can influence the old generals.

Don't look at the fact that there are only a few of us in this room now. Maybe in a few decades, we will really be able to influence the situation in the Human Realm."

Everyone laughed lightly.

The Great Elder suddenly exclaimed, "Sect Master, you've said so much, what are you going to be responsible for?"

Wu Wang: ...

"Of course, it's to cultivate diligently," Wu Wang said seriously, "In the shortest time possible, gain the power to slay the Evil Gods!"

Everyone looked at each other for a moment.

"Chuckle!"

A light laugh came from outside, and the Great Elder instantly rushed to the door, his aura swelling.

He, a Transcendent expert, didn't even notice someone approaching!

Wu Wang had already stood up, his expression a bit strange, and said to the person outside the door, "Can you show yourself?"

The person outside the door said, "I came here specifically to find you."

This tone, this casual attitude... A formidable enemy!?

The Great Elder immediately raised his palm, and the Blood Killing Dao was activated, causing the sky within hundreds of miles to roll with killing intent.

"Great Elder, just open the door, this is not an outsider."

"Sect Master, be careful, I am not this person's match."

The Great Elder whispered, then opened the wooden door in front of him. When he saw the person outside the door, this Blood Hand Demon Lord was first taken aback, then quickly retreated a few steps, and was about to kneel down and salute.

"Your Majesty, forgive me!"

"Ah, no need for formalities."

The old man outside the door slightly raised his hand, and his black robe with golden patterns shone slightly.

He walked in with the help of a wooden cane, looked at the group of people inside with stunned expressions, sighed slightly at Wu Wang, and his aged face showed a strong sense of fatigue.

"Kid, accompany me for a few drinks."
