The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 1121: Chapter 1101: Discussion, Facing Tribulation (2)

Shen Mo did not want to lead the Red Flame Sect and other forces to flee from Five Dragon Mountain.

Firstly, he was unwilling to abandon the prosperous foundation of the Corpse Mountain Range.

Whether it was the Earth Yuan Array, the Seventy-Two Immortal Mountains, or the various resources, products, and creatures on the mountains, all were extremely valuable wealth.

Leaving Five Dragon Mountain and other Immortal Mountains to the Heavenly Demons would ultimately result in the destruction of hundreds of years of operations.

Secondly, he knew deep in his heart that the Heavenly Demon Ancestor instigated this demon calamity not only to strengthen the Heavenly Demon clan but more to target him, to destroy or seize the Soul Refining Flag.

Having fourteen Heavenly Demon Realms descend on the Corpse Mountain Range might seem formidable, but it did not exhaust all its foundations, so there must be other hidden plans.

By staying in the Immortal Realm, he could still rely on the Xuanyuan Immortal Alliance and other True Immortal Realm experts. If he were to directly move to the Horned Flood Dragon Nine Realms and the Heavenly Demon Ancestor’s hidden plans were activated, with several more Heavenly Demon Realms descending in the form of forbidden lands, due to the distance, the True Immortals within the Immortal Realm would find it difficult to aid swiftly. At that time, there would truly be no path to survival.

Of course, he could also escort his underlings into the Green Cloud Cave and directly head to the Nine Heavens Realm for refuge.

However, the Spiritual Qi in the Nine Heavens Realm has not yet recovered, and Immortal Path resources are extremely scarce, unable to support his and his underlings’ cultivation, nor provide enough Spiritual Qi for the hundreds of millions of Demon Souls General cultivating the [No-self Demon Sutra] within the Soul Refining Flag.

Unless absolutely necessary, he would not take this step!

”Fellow daoists, please hear me out.”

Shen Mo spoke aloud and then shared his thoughts with the True Immortals in the Cloud Palace.

This demon calamity surged fiercely, appearing unstoppable, yet if handled cautiously, there was a chance to quell the disaster!

Firstly, the greatest reliance of the Red Flame Sect was the Earth Yuan Array constructed from the Seventy-Two Immortal Mountains.

The Earth Yuan Array’s Mana source comes from three locations: heaven, earth, and man.

The omnipresent various Spiritual Qi, sun and moon essence, and the power of the stars are the heaven source. The earth source draws from the mineral veins, magma flames, and other underground resources of the Immortal Mountains.

The array constructed by the Red Flame Sect currently has these two Mana sources, lacking the human source. Even so, with defensive contraction, it could withstand the terrifying power of a Seventh Order Intermediate Stage Heavenly Demon from within the demonic cave and contend with it;

If each Immortal Mountain had a True Immortal stationed, supplementing the human source, the array’s power could be greatly increased.

Additionally, if Master Jinguang from the Golden Spirit Sect is willing, he could sit within the array and use the nature of the Dao’s principles of the celestial artifact, the Fuyao Ruler, to forcibly elevate the array’s grade and power by another level!

This way, the Earth Yuan Array could encompass the entire Corpse Mountain Range. Even if the Seventh Order Intermediate Stage Heavenly Demon could exhibit Divine Immortal Realm power inside the demonic cave, the array could thoroughly suppress them.

With the suppression of the array, before the Corpse Mountain Range becomes a Demon Zone, the Seventh Order Intermediate Stage Heavenly Demons would not recklessly leave the demonic cave.

They are stronger inside the demonic cave, and once outside, their power weakens significantly, unable to resist the suppression and extermination of the Earth Yuan Array, making it easy for them to perish.

In other words, before sufficient Heavenly Demons fall and their origin power pollutes the Corpse Mountain Range into a Demon Zone, the Seventh Order Intermediate Stage Heavenly Demons would not act rashly.

And finding True Immortals to station the Earth Yuan Array isn’t too difficult. If the Xuanyuan Immortal Alliance is determined, they could easily gather twenty to thirty True Immortals to reside in the array;

Once the trend of demon expansion is curbed, the True Immortals of Phoenix Continent and other immortal continents, recognizing the situation, would make wise decisions and come to the Corpse Mountain Range to slay demons and uphold the path. The longer it drags on, the more True Immortals will come. Gathering seventy-two True Immortals isn’t too difficult!

”This way, even if we cannot break through the demonic cave, as long as we curb its expansion, once the Divine Immortals and Heavenly Immortals guarding beyond the heavens are free, destroying these fourteen demonic caves would be a matter of snapping fingers. If we are lucky, we might not even need them to act and could completely calm this demon calamity, earning a vast amount of achievement in heaven and earth...”

Shen Mo spoke eloquently, gradually clarifying the stakes involved.

”Qingyun’s strategy is quite prudent and worth a try!”

The Jade Spring Fairy, who was closest to Shen Mo, spoke after some consideration after hearing him out.

Then, Xuanyuan Tongzhen, Taiao Tianhao, Meng Chenyang, White Crane Venerable, and other True Immortals also expressed their stances.

Currently, thirty-two True Immortal Powers are within the Xuanyuan Immortal Alliance, fourteen located in Phoenix Continent. With their firm statements, the other hesitant True Immortals finally wavered no longer, ultimately reaching a consensus within a day.

Firstly, the Jade Spring Fairy and other Immortal Alliance True Immortals rushed to the Corpse Mountain Range to reside in the Earth Yuan Array, strengthening the formation.

Master Jinguang is the most familiar with the Earth Yuan Array and has the celestial artifact Fuyao Ruler to raise the array’s grade and power. He also agreed to come to Phoenix Continent as soon as his current affairs were settled, no later than three days.

Then, the Immortal Alliance reached out to all True Immortal Powers in Phoenix Continent and other immortal continents interested in earning achievement in heaven and earth, inviting them to Five Dragon Mountain to slay demons.

Additionally, the Xuanyuan Immortal Alliance would use forces close to the Corpse Mountain Range, such as Jade Spring Mountain, Hidden Dragon River, and the Southern Desert Monster Kingdom, as bases to build multiple defensive lines, curbing the demon calamity’s expansion as much as possible and employing various means to eradicate the demonic primal intent polluting heaven and earth, delaying the transformation of the Corpse Mountain Range into a Demon Zone.

As for those True Immortals inside and outside the Immortal Alliance willing to aid Five Dragon Mountain, Shen Mo would utilize his accumulated resources over the years, providing them with rich rewards—as long as this calamity is overcome, granting him time to achieve True Immortal, time to refine the Soul Refining Flag into a supreme treasure, any price paid would be worth it.

Meanwhile, the meeting in the Longevity Hall concluded, and Five Dragon Mountain began preparing for battle intensively, with the long-sealed Demon Slaying Hall once again put to use...

...

In the Corpse Mountain Range, Heavenly Demons swept across the land overwhelmingly.

The fourteen terrifying auras originating from the demonic cave opposed the Earth Yuan Array, with clashes of mighty powers continuously manifesting massive and terrifying visions between heaven and earth!

As time passed, the Jade Spring Fairy and other Immortal Alliance True Immortals were the first to arrive at Five Dragon Mountain via the large Teleportation Array and then proceeded to station at the other eight middle-class Immortal Mountains and sixty-four lower-grade Immortal Mountains. Streams of True Immortal Aura rose from the Earth Yuan Array’s array core, faintly visible.

Shortly after, Master Jinguang also arrived at the Corpse Mountain Range, and he was stationed at the Lingshi Mountain, painstakingly managed by Jiang Yingying.

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Yingying hurried to pay her respects, and as soon as she saw Master Jinguang, she witnessed the Earth Immortal raising a celestial artifact ruler imbued with celestial harmony. With the infusion of Immortal Source Mana, profound and mysterious dao rhythm emanated from the ruler, filling the entire Earth Yuan Array.

In an instant, all cultivators above the Divine Bridge Realm within the array felt the sky rise three feet higher, and the earth thicken by a yard, subsequently realizing the array’s power had surged significantly!

Concurrently, Shen Mo also manipulated the array core to readjust the formation, enveloping the entire Corpse Mountain Range and encompassing the fourteen demonic caves and hundreds of millions of Heavenly Demons within the array.

The Heavenly Demon side naturally refused to sit idly by, continuously corrupting and consuming hundreds of millions of creatures of the Corpse Mountain Range, rapidly increasing overall power, alongside numerous low-class Heavenly Demons actively detonating their demon bodies, their primality of Heavenly Demon perpetually polluting this realm of heaven and earth and the Earth Yuan Array.

Although the Seventh Order Intermediate Stage Heavenly Demons in the demonic cave did not leave their lair, they unleashed incomparably formidable power to counter the array’s extermination.

Heaven and earth echoed incessantly, visions shocking the world...

Boom!

The Earth Yuan Array erupted once more, forcibly slicing apart the demonic caves, creating fourteen large battlefields within the Corpse Mountain Range, separated by the power of the array with multiple barriers, and each battlefield further divided into hundreds of smaller ones.

Swish!

Shen Mo raised the Soul Refining Flag, an astonishing spiritual energy spreading, yet the Blood Sea World did not unfold, only several Blood Rivers crisscrossed like a web, interlinking all the small battlefields.
