Many, such as preventing the Daoist Sect from unifying the Three Realms, and there are many others.
Ying Zhu answered truthfully. Bu Luo merely denied a prerequisite for both sides to reach an agreement, which was already unacceptable to Mu Yangxu, regardless of the Nine Nether Invasion. "I don't deny it." The upcoming Battle of the Three Realms had previously aimed to unify the Three Realms, and then take that ethereal step forward with the help of the Three Realms' Fortune.
At that moment, Mu Yangxu finally understood. "I don't deny it." Gu Ping requested assistance from the Great Qin Ying Clan and Qiankun Dao, while behind him, the two major forces provided support, allowing Gu Ping, the most qualified individual, to step into the spotlight and firmly attract the attention of many from the Daoist Sect. Behind Gu Ping stood all those who opposed the Daoist Sect's rule in Tian Di Dong, united and ready to raise the banner of resistance.
Tomorrow's battle might seem extremely important to Gu Ping. However, to the Great Qin Ying Clan, Qiankun Dao, and even those dissatisfied with the Daoist Sect's instigation of war, it held extraordinary significance.
Starting tomorrow, from the moment that battle begins, a war against the Daoist Sect's rule will unfold before the Easterners.
If more than a decade ago, when various Daoist Sects jointly destroyed the Light Path Classic, it felt like Tiandong was firmly in their grasp; then three years ago, a young man merely at the Golden Core Realm effectively changed how the Daoist Sect controlled Tiandong in a surprisingly simple way.
For Gu Ping, it was as if he unexpectedly stepped into the limelight at a crucial moment. With the support of the Great Qin Empire and Qiankun Dao, he set up a stage atop Chengdao Peak in the academy and performed a breathtaking drama under the moonlight.
The forces involved on the surface included Worldly Affairs, Tai Xu Dao, Qiankun Dao, and notably the Great Qin Ying Clan. Yet behind them lay other forces that remained unclear, such as Light Path Classic and Beginning Path.
As Gu Ping assessed, when chaos descends upon the world, no one can escape unscathed. Would any Dao Zun overseeing Beginning Path be foolish enough to remain passive? Would Light Path Classic miss out on significant opportunities to develop in secret? Did other Daoist Sects truly lack the strength to unify Tiandong?
No one wishes to see a powerful Tai Xu Dao quietly operating behind the scenes while watching others perform on stage. The best approach would be to pull those watching into their own performance—a play where neither could escape.
Is it inevitable?
Everyone wants to be emperor; if I can do it, why can't he? The Daoist Sect has ruled that world for hundreds of thousands of years. Even pigs and dogs know to bow their heads in submission at the mention of Daoist Sect. How much more so for humans? But if someone like Fei Qian emerges—someone who is determined to prove his path to Fortune—then those cultivators might just follow his commands like pigs or dogs. If Creation Realm can break free from heavenly shackles, then what paths might remain for those who once resisted in Tiandong?
"No, we've already considered those matters, Minghong. The Old Man has become confused; that issue is destined to remain unresolved with Coco."
After speaking, Mu Yangxu brought his fingers together, and the Jet Black Spear that hovered beside him surged toward Ying Zhu like a Jiao Long emerging from the sea, yet it moved with the precision of a sword.
Since negotiation was off the table, then battle was the only option. The clash between the two generations of Tiandong's finest warriors finally commenced. The sounds of gun and axe clashing echoed as they fought fiercely in mid-air, quickly disappearing into the formation set by the Twelve True Immortals.
The battle of the Mahayana Practitioner sought to take place in an uninhabited sky, let alone that of an immortal.
Meanwhile, Ye You's obstruction had finally reached its limit. The Combined Cultivator managed to break free from the entanglement of the Pure World Fox with help from other Transcendent Practitioners who had freed their legs, and he swiftly appeared before Gu Ping.
Coiling Dragon Leg—he thought someone might come to save him this time.
A harsh voice exploded in Gu Ping's ear. Just as the full force of the Coiling Dragon Leg was about to make contact with Gu Ping's head, the Combined Cultivator suddenly saw a strange smile on Gu Ping's face. Alarmed, he hastened his speed, intent on ending Gu Ping's life.
At the moment the Coiling Dragon Leg made contact with Gu Ping's head, the Combined Cultivator's taut nerves finally relaxed. Ye You and his companions watched in horror as the scene unfolded before them, feeling utterly powerless.
It was over.
Was it really over?
Everyone felt a sense of confusion in their hearts. Even Ren Shixing, who had little hope for Gu Ping, thought that such a situation should not have occurred.
But everyone had done their utmost. How could a Ying Cultivator possibly contend against a Great Master at the Integration Stage? Achieving such a level was already no small feat.
The figure of Gu Ping began to dissolve like foam in the World of Mortals, a swirl of Pale Pink light and a haze of gray appeared before everyone.
A cultivator from the Jade Void Sect shouted excitedly, "Negation Foundation!"
Just as the Combined Cultivator who had slain Gu Ping sought to touch the Dao Foundation, the two glowing orbs started to spin around each other, gradually merging together. If any Dao Zun had witnessed that scene, they would have immediately recognized it as the very thing all Dao Zun yearned for.
Dao Seed.
