Chapter 2650 Frostleaf's Crisis
In fact, after his surprise attack on Yanxia Bay, the Heavenly Demon was thoroughly enraged and even released two false rumors to try and trick him into falling for them again. However, He Lingchuan didn't go; even a fool could tell that a trap was waiting for him there.
Other cultivators did fall into the trap, and their fates are self-evident.
If the Imperial Preceptor Shuangye really reveals the latest location of Lingyun Palace, could it be another trap?
We must be wary.
The Imperial Preceptor Shuangye knew very well that He Lingchuan trusted him very little.
"After you caused a ruckus at Lingyun Palace, I heard that both the Heavenly Palace and Yanxia Bay conducted a thorough internal investigation, which resulted in the deaths of many people and uncovered many other issues."
Those kinds of places are easy to investigate; they're full of scandals that could cause huge uproar. So once they investigate to a certain extent, they have to stop.
He Lingchuan smiled and said, "I've heard about it too."
"The true location of Lingyun Palace is now a complete mystery." The Frost Leaf Grand Preceptor warmed his hands with a wine cup. "Thanks to you."
The Heavenly Palace doesn't truly trust him either, so it's impossible for them to tell him.
"Then what else do you want to talk to me about?"
What other bargaining chips do you have to talk to me about?
“Holy Venerable,” the Frost Leaf Grand Preceptor added, “to be precise, it’s the part of the Gods’ Descent Plan that concerns the Holy Venerable.”
"The part about the Holy One?" Oh, that's fine.
"Indeed, the Heavenly Realm knows about the Holy Venerable Lingxu's plan for the descent of the gods, and you probably know it too." The Frost Leaf Grand Preceptor certainly knew, as the Nine Netherworld maintained contact with the Heavenly Realm. "But in his plans, he never mentions anything about his own arrangements. How do you think the Holy Venerable Lingxu intends to descend to the mortal realm?"
This statement is based on the premise that both individuals present were well aware that, as the proposer and executor of the gods' plan, the Holy Venerable Lingxu himself was bound to descend to the mortal realm; he couldn't simply remain in heaven and observe. He himself would undoubtedly be the greatest beneficiary of the plan.
However, as the Frost Leaf National Preceptor said, this plan does not seem to include the Spirit Void Saint Venerable.
Lingxu Saint Venerable is recognized as the number one being in the Heavenly Realm. His strength is so formidable that even the True Immortal Body of Thousand Illusions Immortal could not withstand his complete descent. The latest version of the Gods' Project involves using the body of Hidden God Lord to create the skins of the gods.
Needless to say, this physical form is unlikely to be able to fully bear the arrival of the Holy Venerable Lingxu.
So, how will He descend to the mortal realm?
This problem has been troubling He Lingchuan and Lingshan.
He Lingchuan's smile slowly faded: "He never mentions it, most likely because He already has a way. You got this information?"
If the Frostleaf Grand Preceptor has provided the answer, then this secret is indeed no less significant than the position of the Spiritual Palace.
"This is the most important secret of the Holy Venerable Lingxu. I highly doubt that He would share it with anyone, not even His confidants and loyal followers." Once you live a long time, you will have a different understanding of the word "loyal followers".
Nothing lasts forever, not even loyalty.
"Then what do you want to say?" A secret without weight is not worth bringing to the Nine Nether Emperor by the Imperial Preceptor of Frostleaf.
"I've found out some details and have a deduction that might be useful to you."
Frosty Leaf stopped there.
Both of their glasses were empty, so He Lingchuan raised his hand to refill them, saying:
"The Frostleaf Grand Preceptor's deductions must be extremely expensive, right? Last time, he revealed the whereabouts of the 'Yangguan Road' in exchange for a sadist's brain core. What kind of conditions does he want to exchange this time?"
Shuangye chuckled: "The brain core of the sadist is useless to you; you're just using someone else's flower to offer to a god. But you not only found out the whereabouts of the 'Yangguan Road,' saving Panlong Ancient City in time, but you also gained such a powerful divine beast as the Earth Mother for free. Tell me, is it worth it or not?"
He Lingchuan rushed to Panlong Wasteland because the Heavenly Demon wanted to exchange the divine artifact "Yangguan Road" from Shangguan Biao. As a result, he happened to run into the two sides plotting against Panlong Ancient City. What else was there to say but to fight?
Even the Frostleaf Grand Preceptor hadn't expected that He Lingchuan would pull off such a massive operation simply by revealing the "Yangguan Road" to him. If he hadn't succeeded in recruiting the Earth Mother that time, it was hard to say whether Jiuyou would have been able to handle the Lingyun Palace and steal the body of the Hidden God Lord later.
"Life is unpredictable," He Lingchuan sighed. "But your news is indeed timely. So, what do you want?"
He got straight to the point, and the Frostleaf National Preceptor also put away his smile and said seriously:
"Some time ago, the Lingxu Clan announced the first batch of trial descent list, totaling one hundred celestial beings. They will descend to the mortal realm soon."
“I’ve seen that list.” He Lingchuan was incredibly perceptive; he understood immediately. “What you care about is the Holy Mother of Jindu?”
The character “圣” is emphasized.
The Imperial Preceptor Shuangye didn't reply, but his eyes flickered twice.
Because of her weak divine power, Jindu Mu had always been a lower-ranking deity among the Lingxu Clan for many years. However, the fact that she appeared on this list and was given the title of "Saint" indicates that her position among the Lingxu Clan had been greatly elevated.
“Jin Du Mu herself is not strong, but her abilities are very special. The Lingxu Saint Venerable’s plan to bring down the gods was also inspired by her abilities. That’s why the Lingyun Palace imitated Jin Du Mu’s method to combine human descendants with fragments of the Hidden God Lord, thus creating the latest version of the divine body.” He Lingchuan sighed softly, “If it weren’t for her, perhaps the human world would not have had to go through this catastrophe.”
"Furthermore, I've heard that the 'Heart-Tethering' secret medicine used by the Heavenly God to control the Bega Demon Kingdom was also developed based on the ability of the Mother of Jindu to control the ghost cubs." He Lingchuan looked at the Frost Leaf National Preceptor and said, "Based on these two points alone, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for the Lingxu Clan to give Him the title of 'Saint'."
Originally a lowly god, his very existence could alter the course of Lingxu Saint Venerable's plans.
“I don’t know about the secret medicine, but I’ve heard that the latest Divine Descent Skin has appeared, and it’s even more powerful than the one you saw in the Spiritual Essence Palace! And it was indeed made so quickly with the help of the Mother of Crossing.” Shuangye said with a sullen face, “It earned itself a spot in the first batch of pilot projects because of these achievements.”
"The first thing it will do upon descending to the mortal realm is probably to find you and completely control you." He Lingchuan picked up a red date and ate it. Hmm, it was especially sweet after being roasted. "You are the First Imperial Preceptor, and your influence over the Bega Royal Court is crucial. Once the Heavenly Demon descends to the mortal realm, it will definitely prioritize controlling the Bega Royal Court, and then firmly grasp Bega, this useful tool, in its hands. This may be the important reason why the Holy Venerable Lingxu allowed the Holy Mother of Jindu to be included in the early admission list."
The Holy Venerable Lingxu never acts without a reason.
However, this leaves the Imperial Preceptor of Frostleaf little time to fight for his freedom.
“Once the list was released, many of the gods on it were attacked.” The Frost Leaf Grand Preceptor said expressionlessly, “A dozen days ago, Jin Du Mu was attacked by three gods working together.”
