I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 835: Chapter 777: Confronting the Mahayana Head-On

Upon arriving at the top floor of the Observatory, Jiang Yuebai felt as if she could reach out and pluck the stars from the sky; the countless stars seemed just within arm’s reach.

However, she originally thought she could meet other Immortal Monarchs from the Upper Realm, but unexpectedly, the vast rooftop platform had only Immortal Monarch Fatian and Immortal Monarch Chongmin present.

Immortal Monarch Chongmin was sitting alone in a corner, eyes closed and cross-legged, face sallow and looking unwell.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuebai hurriedly stepped forward, her voice filled with urgency and concern, ”What’s wrong with Immortal Monarch Chongmin?”

Fatian turned back to glance at Chongmin and explained, ”He’s suppressing the foul air of Tai Sui, it’s not a serious matter, just needs some time.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuebai finally let out a sigh of relief.

The four of them stood in a line, bowing their hands in greeting to Immortal Monarch Fatian. Immortal Monarch Fatian had an aura of serenity, a kind demeanor with none of the airs and majesty of a Mahayana Immortal Monarch, making them feel comfortable.

Immortal Monarch Fatian cleared his throat, ”First, congratulations to you all for claiming the top three spots at the Qingyun Conference, and to you, Shen Huaxi. Though you didn’t make it to the top three, your talent has been recognized by us all.”

Shen Huaxi bowed again to show his gratitude.

Immortal Monarch Fatian surveyed the four present, moving his fingers subtly, but because Jiang Yuebai’s everything was obscured by Chongmin’s actions, he couldn’t calculate anything and could only marvel inwardly.

These four children, about to be entrusted with great responsibility, all come from the Heavenly Interence Sect. Was it mere coincidence or the arrangement of the Heavenly Dao?

Perhaps they were the ones Cangqingzi spoke of, destined to solve this impending crisis.

Putting aside his chaotic thoughts, Immortal Monarch Fatian continued, ”To be brief, your rewards are the same as the others; you may choose them afterwards. Shen Huaxi, you may also join them in selecting a life-saving item from the Observatory, as agreed upon by the other Immortal Monarchs.”

”Next, what I’m going to say is very important. Before you leave the Observatory, I will erase this segment of memory. Understand?”

Upon hearing this, the four looked at each other, feeling a heightened tension.

Fatian glanced again at Shen Huaxi and noticed from his expression that he had some psychological preparation for the matter, seeming to have guessed part of it, which was indeed accurate.

”You were all witnesses to the events at the Qingyun Conference and must know about the news of Taiwei Star Alliance’s complete defeat.”

The people nodded, indicating they knew.

Immortal Monarch Fatian continued, ”Actually, before this Qingyun Conference, Immortal Monarch Yan Hua of the Vermilion Bird Realm made a bold proposal, wanting to end the dispute between Human and Demon Clans once and for all. So during this conference, we have been observing, looking for the most suitable candidates for this mission.”

”Now, I ask you, are you willing to infiltrate the Demon Realm, delve into the rear of the Demon Clan, and contribute and sacrifice for the human clan’s counterattack and thorough blockade of the Demon Abyss?”

The four simultaneously widened their eyes, staring unwaveringly at Immortal Monarch Fatian.

Even Shen Huaxi hadn’t expected that the plan of the Mahayana Immortal Monarchs was to send them as spies?

This was practically a death sentence!

”You need not answer hastily, and you can refuse. Even if you refuse, we will not make it difficult for you. However, I hope you can think clearly; this endeavor is for all humans, for your cherished relatives and friends to have a peaceful home in the future.”

”And not like Taiwei Star Alliance over there, where in an instant, the home is destroyed, everything lost; currently the battlefield has moved to Ziwei Star Alliance, and if it continues, even Tianshi Star Alliance where Heavenly Interence Sect resides will be affected by the war.”

”Under a fallen nest, no egg remains intact; if you agree, we will do everything possible to protect your sect and family, fulfill all your conditions, provide the best resources, and if you return successfully, as long as we exist in this Cultivation Realm, we will ensure your smooth path to immortality.”

As soon as Immortal Monarch Fatian finished speaking, Xie Jingshan took a step forward, his blood boiling.

”I’m going!”

”You’re going to hell! Shut your dog mouth!” Jiang Yuebai cursed sharply.

Xie Jingshan:...

Even Immortal Monarch Fatian was taken aback by Jiang Yuebai’s sudden burst of energy, feeling almost as though she was scolding him.

Immortal Monarch Chongmin, having just refreshed himself, heard Jiang Yuebai’s voice and quickly tightly closed his eyes again.

He decided to circulate his internal energy for another round to be safe!

Lu Nanzhi tugged at Jiang Yuebai’s sleeve, and Jiang Yuebai was a bit annoyed; this whole Qingyun Conference had set them up with such a big trap, how could she not be angry?

Since they were to be sent to their deaths, she had nothing to fear.

”Immortal Monarch, I have one question: we are humans; how do we enter the Demon Realm without being discovered? Are you asking us to give up even our bodies and enter the Dao into Demons? Then, how do we transition from demon back to Dao afterward?”

”What if we are discovered upon entering the Demon Realm, isolated without help, how do we protect ourselves? A vast Demon Realm, guarded by several Mahayana Elder Demons, how do we, mere Little Nascent Souls, contend against the power of Elder Demons?”

”Also! You have seen the events of the Qingyun Conference and the frontline defeat; the Demon Clan has a master strategist in control, how can you ensure we avoid scrutiny by this master, sneak successfully into the Demon Realm? You just stand here lip service, asking us to die, is that fair?”

”You say we can refuse, but if we truly refuse, can you ensure we won’t be nailed on the pillar of shame of the human clan, cursed for eternity until our Dao hearts collapse? If the human clan is in trouble, everyone will blame us; from the moment you proposed this suggestion, we lost the right to refuse!”

Jiang Yuebai was the first to stand up boldly and Shen Huaxi, no longer fearing, spoke slowly, ”May I ask, has the person who placed Tai Sui into the Observatory been found? Is this plan known to all Mahayana Immortal Monarchs? How do you ensure there are no uncontrollable risky elements among the other Immortal Monarchs? What if this plan has already appeared on the Demon Clan leader’s desk at this moment, then what will you do?”

Fatian’s mind buzzed, his mouth opened but he forgot what he was going to say; wasn’t he just negotiating with them now?

Fatian’s gaze swept toward Chongmin in the back intending a ’plea for help,’ but Chongmin remained unmoved, subtly slowing his internal energy, acting as if he was still unwell.

Fatian: Should he erase their memories and start over with a gentler approach?
