Chapter 1107: Chapter 8: Immortal Upgrade System, The Great Plan for Incense (3)
Before long, Ye Luo and I Want to Be Immortal were also brought in by the Ghost Official, sitting among the entourage behind Xiao Jie.
Seeing that the main guests had arrived, Qin Chuan raised a cup of Spiritual Wine with a chilling aura, stood up, and said in a clear voice, “Esteed Immortals, during this Netherworld crisis, it is thanks to your steadfast support that we were able to swiftly quell the turmoil and avert disaster on the brink. If I were to face it alone, victory might not have been so easily attained. Here, I toast to you all!”
(Not easily attained? The implication being that without us, you could still win, just with more difficulty?) Xiao Jie silently mocked in his heart, but remained expressionless on the surface, raising his cup along with the others and drinking it all at once.
After one cup, the atmosphere beca more lively. Lin Xuance, still a bit resentful over being “played” by Qin Chuan the previous day, half-jokingly said, “Yama, you personally promised that if we help you settle this Reincarnation Disaster, you would open the treasury for us to select treasures. Does this promise still hold?”
Hearing this, Qin Chuan maintained his smile but lightly sighed, “Rest assured, Lin Dao You, my word is as good as gold, it still holds. However…” He shifted his tone, “The Netherworld Emperor has been overthrown and most of the Ghost Army subdued, but the core issue of the Netherworld—the Reincarnation System—has yet to fully resu normal operations. When I said ‘settling the Reincarnation Disaster’, it did not rely an eliminating Netherworld Emperor Zhao You. Only when the Six Paths of Reincarnation are restored to order and the balance of yin and yang is stable can the root cause of this disaster truly be eradicated.”
Xiao Jie thought to himself: As expected, I knew you’d bring this up. However, this fits perfectly with his intentions.
He imdiately picked up the conversation, speaking earnestly, “His Majesty is absolutely right! Solving the surface issues requires addressing the root causes. In that case, why not put the plan of ‘Uniting the Nine States, Reviving the Human Path, and Solving the Problem at its Root’ on the agenda? As a matter of fact, my friend ‘Long Xingtianxia’ is currently engaged in the final battle against enemy countries in Longhua State, with victory and defeat soon to be determined. We can lend him a hand to achieve the great cause of unifying the Nine States. Once the Nine States are unified and the era of peace is restored, with a flourishing population and living beings living and working in peace and contentnt, the ‘life source’ required for the Reincarnation Order will naturally co continuously, making restoration a matter of course.”
“Good, good, good! As expected of a Savior Immortal with the people at heart, truly selfless and righteous!” Qin Chuan clapped his hands in praise, “This matter concerns the balance of the three realms, and plans should indeed be made early. I wonder… how many troops does Daoist Sui Feng need to dispatch for assistance?”
Xiao Jie tentatively asked, “Didn’t you subdue a million Ghost Army at the Sea of Reincarnation, Your Majesty? Why not allocate three to five hundred thousand to enhance our prestige?”
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan could only shake his head with a wry smile, “Daoist Sui Feng, you’re assuming too much. Ordinary ghosts have fragile souls, how can they stand the yang energy of the Yang Realm? A single glance of the True Sun Fire in daylight, and they would likely be scattered in an instant. Moreover, the division between yin and yang is clear, and only those with sufficient mana or a special body can easily cross over. Ordinary Ghost Army doesn’t have this capacity. Only the regular Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals under my command, who have undergone rigorous training and are protected by standard Ghost Armor, can barely operate in the Yang Realm.”
He further explained, “Even so, they must not be deployed during dayti, and can only engage in operations at night or in extre weather with thick clouds blocking out the sun. There are quite a few constraints.”
Only then did Xiao Jie realize the many limitations. But on second thought, considering his own abilities and those of the other immortals, casting so Cloud Summoning and Mist Spreading spells to obscure the sky shouldn’t pose much of an issue.
At this point, Miao Fa Yuanjun Su Zhiqing chuckled lightly, “Actually, with the strength of the four of us, we can easily sweep away the mortal army, so why worry about the number of troops?”
“Primordial Monarch, that’s where you’re mistaken,” Xiao Jie shook his head, “The key to uniting the Nine States lies in ‘montum’. The so-called montum, to complete the unification with minimum cost and maximum speed, we must create an unstoppable ‘montum’. We need all opponents to clearly understand that resistance is futile, and Dragon Soaring Country’s unification of the Nine States is destined. With this montum, the more supporting troops, the better, to manifest ‘the Will of Heaven’. Of course, having ten thousand elite Ghost Army as a secret weapon and deterrent is already enough to exert formidable pressure.”
Ye Luo, sitting in a lower seat, just sipped his wine quietly, seemingly uninterested in these grand discussions of ambition. anwhile, I Want to Be Immortal was getting anxious listening to the strategic discussions, and tugged on Xiao Jie’s sleeve, whispering, “Feng, Feng! What about my incense issue? It sounds like it will take a long ti!”
Xiao Jie chuckled softly, patted him on the shoulder, and replied through sound transmission, “Why rush? It’s quite simple! Once Long Xingtianxia unites the Nine States and becos the master of all Nine States, he will have the authority for ‘Divine Enthronent’. At that ti, the heroic spirits of the Dragon Soaring Knights who died for the country will be posthumously conferred divine status and enjoy human incense worship. I’ll arrange a top-level National Guardian God General divine status for you, worshipped by the people across the country. That incense fire wish power will be endless, for you to absorb and refine at will.”
I Want to Be Immortal’s eyes glowed with excitent, as if already envisioning himself bathed in golden light with countless followers, whispering excitedly, “Feng! That’s so righteous of you!”
Xiao Jie thought to himself, isn’t this just a convenient thing to do?
In fact, not only has he arranged a place for I Want to Be Immortal, but he also intends to harvest so Power of Incense himself, as the Dharma Form Transformation benefits from incense.
The higher the Incense Level, the more Dharma Divine Power Xiao Jie can unlock.
Having reassured I Want to Be Immortal, Xiao Jie sent a private ssage to Long Xingtianxia, who was far away in Longhua State:
“President, how’s the situation on your side? I’ve already made preliminary arrangents for assistance from the Netherworld.”
Almost instantly, Long Xingtianxia’s reply arrived, tinged with a hint of excitent and urgency:
“Brother Sui Feng! Your ssage arrived at just the right ti! We just received the ‘Supre Emperor’s’ final battle challenge! The ti is set for—tomorrow at noon!”
