Capítulo 860: Chapter 773: Prologue, the Diligent Xuanwu
Zhao Changhe slightly suffered a loss, withdrawing his Divine Thought a little, but it was only a little, not much difference at all.
Both phantoms frowned slightly in pain at the sa ti. This direct clash of Divine Souls was very uncomfortable and extrely fragile and vulnerable.
Both sides were cautious and did not continue to probe, quickly and tacitly retracting their Divine Sense and each returning to their place.
Zhao Changhe opened his eyes.
Yue Hongling sat cross-legged opposite him and asked, “Contacted?”
Zhao Changhe nodded, “This brief contact and probing probably served as a wake-up call for both sides… Expanding Divine Thought like this, everyone dares not play it often… When we get closer, within the range where your Divine Sense can touch, if he cos over, he’d be besieged by us. Similarly, if I probe over, not knowing if Bo’e is also in the army, I’d get besieged too. Best to minimize it altogether.”
Yue Hongling said, “So either as previously thought, everyone dares not recklessly expand their Divine Thought, everything reverting to conventional warfare logic of eagles and scouts; or engage directly in Imperial Realm battles, separate from mortal combat?”
“Pretty much…”
As a knight who often acted alone, Yue Hongling hadn’t fully understood the warfare logic here, and couldn’t help but ask, “But the actual victory or defeat of the Imperial Realm battle determines everything, so what’s the point of such resource-draining mortal warfare?”
“If the Imperial Realm battle could determine victory or defeat right away, it would be easy to say. But from past experience, killing an Imperial Realm is extrely difficult, more likely to end in a stalemate or be trapped in a Secret Realm. In that ti, hundreds of thousands of Hu cavalry could move south, devastating the Divine Continent. Even if we win and co out, what’s the point? Our war is first and foremost to protect the Divine Continent. We deal with the enemy’s Imperial Realm; the vast army needs to deal with the Hu’s Iron Cavalry, nothing more than different responsibilities.”
Yue Hongling nodded slightly, “Yes.”
Zhao Changhe continued, “Actually, if the mountains and rivers shatter, our Imperial Realm battle would also be lost. My strength, and that of Qing’er, San Niang, and others, is now partly bolstered by the mountains’ Qi Veins and the Power of Faith. Once chaos erupts, if faith collapses, though it won’t regress as significantly as Old Xia, our strength will definitely not be the sa as it is now. Old Xia is just an extre example, but many things can be referred to. This is sothing only you differ from us.”
“Actually, I am affected a bit too. If that situation really occurs, I’m afraid my Sword Heart would also encounter issues… my Sword Intent has been greatly influenced by you.”
“Uh…”
Yue Hongling asked again, “Is the Hu God the sa?”
“I don’t know if he will be implicated by the failure of mortal warfare, but I’m sure that if he wants to progress further, he must win the war,” Zhao Changhe said. “As we now know, except for Jiuyou which only wants to cause trouble, most like the Sea Emperor Dao Venerable, Buddha, Longevity Heavenly God, require human Qi Veins and Faith. This situation becos more like a religious war, a contest of human destiny. This is also why the Northern Hu frequently moved south when Old Xia was still present, as mortal powers affect the rise and fall of both sides’ cultivation.”
Yue Hongling stopped asking these questions and instead asked, “How powerful is Tie Muer?”
Zhao Changhe said, “In terms of Divine Sense alone, I’m half a match weaker than him. But in terms of Divine Sense, I’ve already been exceptionally strong… If it truly cos to a fight, the discrepancy should be larger, but there’s no difference in tier, we can fight.”
Yue Hongling nodded, sighing a little in a low voice: “Number one on the Heavenly List.”
Indeed, no matter the amount of blind speculation in the ranking between Tie Muer and Bo’e, Tie Muer is the first on the Heavenly List, a status certified by the Heavenly Dao, the first person under Ancient Demons of our ti.
This is a ranking adorned with endless halos; the first on the Human List is regarded as the Human King, the first on the Earth List often marks the divide between humans and deities, so what about the first on the Heavenly List?
Even though the widespread appearance of God Demons might have lessened the value of this ranking, for the majority of the world, it remains a position that invokes awe and reverence, no matter if Zhao Changhe faces blinding terror every day, he cannot ignore the significance of the words “first on the Heavenly List.”
Perhaps in Yue Hongling’s eyes, fighting with the first on the Heavenly List bears more significance than the wars themselves.
“Returning to the main topic,” Zhao Changhe smiled and said, “Now that Tie Muer thinks he has repelled my observation, he will inevitably make so moves. Did you see anything from the Sword Qi previously embedded in their Divine Mountain and Royal Court?”
Yue Hongling shook her head regretfully, “The range is too small, the location hidden inadequately, and there was basically no gain. I even think the Sword Qi previously embedded was entirely a waste of effort.”
Zhao Changhe smiled, “Preparing for a rainy day, why worry about it. No matter how much preparation everyone has made, it’s not necessarily all usable. From the clashes I had with Tie Muer, it looks like we are already getting closer to each other, indicating our previous judgnts were correct, at least Tie Muer himself is genuinely coming in our direction.”
“That also ans there will be harassnt towards General Huangfu’s direction, and this so-called harassnt might disregard righteousness.”
…
It’s not a possibility of disregarding righteousness; it’s a certainty.
In today’s near-collapse of war conventions, in this age of “collapsed rites and broken music,” Zhao Changhe is already considering that when Longevity Heavenly God recovers, there will be widespread Divine Descent and slaughter throughout the world… So even when He’s not fully recovered, unable to wreak havoc across the entire Divine Continent, at least He can descend upon the entire Northern Hu scope, whether in the Great Desert or grassland, which is much broader than Zhao Changhe’s range.
Divine Descent is the most indefensible harassnt; it originally should not be used on ordinary soldiers.
Without the assistance of the Underground Sky Do, Zhao Changhe simply cannot support across thousands of miles like this.
