The Hero of a Cool Novel? I, the Villain, Will Kill You!

72: Could the secret hidden in Beihan Immortal Realm be in the Wilderness Realm?“Imperial Advisor, since the Heavenly Fortune God Clan will lend a hand!”

“Our logistical resupply is also nearing completion!”

“In your esteemed opinion, should we directly descend upon the Northern Cold Immortal Region? Or establish the battlefield within the Chaos Mist?”

“If the battlefield is set in the Chaos Mist, I fear it might…”

Immortal Lord Jiang Qing hesitated.

He knew that the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain, by relying on the Heavenly Fortune God Clan and their Luck Secret Art, might very well unify the Immortal Realm.

But the price would be for the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain to forever become the Heavenly Fortune God Clan’s enforcers, the kind that strikes wherever commanded.

He had thoroughly considered this cross-Immortal Domain war.

For the dwindling Luck of the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain and to avoid being enslaved by the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain.

He still agreed with the Imperial Advisor’s decision to pledge allegiance to the Heavenly Fortune God Clan.

It was just the choice of the battlefield that made him indecisive.

If he chose to directly descend upon the border of the Northern Cold Immortal Region, it would mean a protracted war of attrition.

Millions of years of war would burn through Immortal Spirit ore veins, damage the Foundation of the Immortal Realm, and cause widespread suffering—a price he was unwilling to pay.

If the battlefield was placed in the mysterious and unpredictable Chaos Mist.

While it could avoid the destructive nature of direct conflict, it might also invite other Immortal Domains to take advantage, leaving Eastern Cold in a more dangerous, isolated situation.

Both paths carried risks, and he was truly helpless.

“The battlefield will be set in the Wild Realm, under the Northern Cold Immortal Region. That world is somewhat mysterious and can withstand a battle of Immortals!”

“Moreover, the Wild Realm is also the wealthiest place for the Northern Cold Immortal Lord to plunder resources, and he continuously sends his descendants there for training!”

“The Luck of the Northern Cold Immortal Region is divided among the Northern Cold Immortal Court and numerous Immortal King families. It is absolutely impossible for the Ye family to produce so many Children of Luck!”

“The secret of the Wild Realm might be related to the source of the Ye family’s Luck!”

“The descendants of the Northern Cold Immortal Lord, Ye Langtian, only gained the Origin of Luck and became Seeds of Luck after being sent to the Wild Realm!”

“The secret hidden in the Wild Realm might be able to restore the portion of Luck lost by the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain. Setting the battlefield there is the best choice!”

Ghostly Underworld Taoist’s eyes glowed.

He was not acting on a whim but had planned this long ago.

When Immortal Lord Jiang Qing returned from the Great Thousand Bright Realm and proposed war, he had already laid out his chess game.

His choice of the Wild Realm was not arbitrary but based on multiple strategic considerations and secret intelligence.

“The Wild Realm!”

Immortal Lord Jiang Qing’s expression changed from suspicion to pleasant surprise.

Among the five great Immortal Domains of the Immortal Realm, the Origin of Luck of each Immortal Domain was evenly distributed by the Immortal Dao consciousness.

However, the five great Immortal Courts, as the rulers of each Immortal Domain, possessed even more abundant Immortal Dao Luck.

But even so, besides possessing abundant Immortal Dao Luck, the five great Immortal Courts would secretly choose an ancient world whose Luck would support the Immortal Court.

This was to ensure that each Immortal Domain could cultivate young Prodigies more powerful than those in other Immortal Domains.

The world chosen by the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain was the Great Thousand Bright Realm.

However, three months ago, the Great Thousand Bright Realm was shattered by the battle between Wang Qing and the Abyss of the Northern Ruins God Clan Elder, leading to the complete loss of the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain’s crucial Luck.

The Imperial Advisor chose the Wild Realm as the battlefield.

Immortal Lord Jiang Qing realized his teacher’s intention: he likely wanted to use the Luck of the Wild Realm to compensate for the lost Luck of the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain.

This would not only strike at the Northern Cold Immortal Region but also benefit the sentient beings of the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain—a truly multifaceted advantage.

“Imperial Advisor, we shall proceed as you say!”

“This Emperor will immediately dispatch people to scout the Wild Realm!”

Immortal Lord Jiang Qing immediately made the decision, transforming into a rainbow and descending into the tens of thousands of Immortal Army formations ahead to arrange for some Immortals to investigate the Wild Realm.

Seeing Immortal Lord Jiang Qing leave, Ghostly Underworld Taoist also showed a look of relief.

As one of the most ancient existences in the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain, he had long been bound to the Jiang family, serving as their wise man and, in a sense, their Old Ancestor.

Tens of millions of years, or several epochs, he had nurtured several Immortal Lords, but he had never truly initiated a cross-Immortal Domain war.

He had some anticipation for this war. If he could assist Immortal Lord Jiang Qing in becoming the new co-ruler of the Immortal Realm.

He could then retire successfully and enter the Hongmeng Sea to pursue the elusive path of transcendence.

“It is the time, the Luck, the destiny!”

“Wang Qing is only twenty-four, yet he dares to represent the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain with the idea of unifying the Immortal Realm!”

“Indeed, the waves behind push the waves ahead, and the waves ahead die on the beach!”

“If it weren’t for this old man, Immortal Lord Jiang Qing would probably be played for a fool by you!”

Ghostly Underworld Taoist sighed faintly.

Because Wang Qing’s intelligence was currently the strongest he had ever witnessed, merely based on the marriage alliance between the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain a while ago.

In less than half a month, he caused the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain and the Northern Cold Immortal Region to fall out, and that wasn’t even the worst of it.

What was even more outrageous was that Wang Qing’s combat power, capable of slaying an Immortal Emperor, was simply not something a twenty-four-year-old youth should possess.

Initially, Ghostly Underworld Taoist thought Wang Qing had been taken by Possession by a mysterious entity.

However, after repeated deductions, he concluded that Wang Qing was still Wang Qing and had not been taken by Possession by a powerful being from the Hongmeng Sea.

The more he deduced, the more terrifying he found Wang Qing, as if the Immortals of the Immortal Realm and Wang Qing did not belong to the same dimension.

Unable to figure it out, Ghostly Underworld Taoist no longer bothered to think about it, deciding to deal with the Northern Cold Immortal Region first.

He shook his head, turned, and, with a hunched body, walked into a palace aboard the Qilin Immortal Ship… At the same time… Western Cold Immortal Realm.

Western Cold Immortal Court, Imperial Capital!

Inside the magnificent imperial palace, within a grand hall, Dragons were carved and Phoenixes painted all around, with incense smoke curling upwards.

Situ Linghuang, wearing a veil, rested her head on one hand, leaning against a Dragon throne made of glazed jade.

Her posture was graceful, her chest ample, too large for two hands to grasp, with skin like ice and bones like jade, a slender waist and shapely buttocks, her palace dress and skirt gently swaying.

Especially her crossed beautiful legs, revealing a hazy, alluring glimpse of spring, truly captivating.

“My little nephew!”

“You are truly becoming more and more interesting!”

“The Gui Xu Demon Lord is a being from the path of transcendence, merely lying dormant, fearing pursuit from the Hongmeng Divine Kingdom!”

“Yet you now wish to awaken the Gui Xu Demon Lord; aren’t you forcing that old Devil Head to his death?!”

“If that old Devil Head knew of your relationship with the Hongmeng Divine Kingdom, wouldn’t he fight you to the death?!”

Situ Linghuang spoke with a fragrant breath, her eyes like silken threads, making one unable to resist.

Three months ago, Wang Qing called her an eight-legged monster, and she still remembered it.

She wondered what Wang Qing’s expression would be when he later learned that she was his mother’s clan sister, effectively his aunt.

Furthermore, Situ Linghuang was the Hongmeng Empress of the Hongmeng Divine Kingdom.

Tens of millions of years ago, the Gui Xu Demon Lord killed a powerful being from the Hongmeng Divine Kingdom in the Hongmeng Sea.

Situ Linghuang pursued him alone from the Hongmeng Sea to the Demon Realm, severely wounding the Gui Xu Demon Lord and causing the Demon Realm to collapse.

To survive, the Gui Xu Demon Lord, along with some Demon Race beings, secretly crossed into the Northern Cold Immortal Region.

Finally, he was Sealed in the Abyss of the Northern Ruins by the Northern Cold Immortal Lord and the ancient existences of the Northern Cold Immortal Region.

Situ Linghuang also came to the Immortal Realm, and after seeing the Gui Xu Demon Lord suppressed, she, feeling bored, stayed in the Western Cold Immortal Realm.

She single-handedly established the Western Cold Immortal Court, suppressing Buddhism, the former overlord of the Northern Cold Immortal Region, leaving it unable to rise.
