Upon hearing Xi Zhao's words, Sun Wukong did indeed hesitate for a brief mont, but quickly shook his head, glanced at the sky, and then spoke slowly, "Now is not the right ti to strike against the Genesis Divine Nation. Moreover, offending the Genesis Divine Nation for the sake of first place is not worth it!" In truth, what Sun Wukong expressed, Xi Zhao also understood. Still, Xi Zhao proceeded to make such an inquiry, and as to what his true intentions were, that remained unknown.
The reason for Sun Wukong's silence was that he was contemplating the aning behind Xi Zhao's question. He did not believe that Xi Zhao could not see through the pros and cons. Indeed, the current Genesis Palace had only sixteen mbers, and they would definitely not be overly guarded against themselves and the others. Should they launch a surprise attack on the Genesis Palace upon returning, Sun Wukong felt that there was at least a seventy percent chance of seizing the Genesis Palace.
However, with a mont's thought, he realized that such an action was no different from killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. Although it was not possible to attack the Genesis Palace at the mont, it was still necessary to first follow the path back to the Genesis Palace, then return to the Netherworld Palace through the Teleportation Array. Although temporarily not cooperating with the Genesis Palace, the two parties were still allies, thus the Teleportation Array remained necessary.
Three days later, as the group from the Netherworld World arrived at the Genesis Palace, a voice echoed in everyone's mind from the Patrolling Celestial World, "The Genesis Divine Nation has successfully defended the Transforming Thunder Palace for three days; the verdict is successful capture. From today on, the Transforming Thunder Palace falls under the Genesis Divine Nation. The Genesis Divine Nation temporarily holds first place in the Patrolling Celestial World trial!"
This voice also repeated three tis in everyone's mind before gradually fading away, and this ti it stirred a commotion among the other major powers. Because the voice made it clear that the Genesis Divine Nation had successfully defended the Transforming Thunder Palace, which ant that only the Genesis Divine Nation's forces had attacked the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm.
Moreover, everyone was aware that the Genesis Divine Nation now possessed a significant advantage. As long as soone initiates a World Suppressing Stele and successfully defends it for three days, then the palace where the Stele is located will fall under the attacker's control. Additionally, the attackers have the freedom to open or close the newly acquired palace.
If they choose to close it, the palace will conceal itself into the void, leaving no trace of its existence, and only those holding the Supre Order of that domain could locate it. If they open it, it will beco the attackers' second palace. Even if their original palace is captured, and their World Suppressing Stele is activated, as long as they have the other palace, they will not be eliminated.
In simple terms, the Genesis Divine Nation now had two lives. As long as they retain at least one of the two palaces or one of the World Suppressing Steles, they would not fail. They could now advance or defend at will. And since there are only ten powers in total, with six likely to beco new Divine Kingdoms, the Genesis Divine Nation only had to close the Transforming Thunder Palace and then staunchly defend the Genesis Palace to ensure it beca one of the new Divine Kingdoms. However, the exact ranking could not be guaranteed.
Conversely, the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm had completely lost the possibility of being promoted to a Divine Kingdom. Who knows what the Domain Lord, Lei Wanfa, would feel upon hearing this news? A Domain Lord level powerhouse, thirty-five peak top-level Titans, all perished without a survivor. Such a colossal loss would definitely pain Lei Wanfa for a good while.
Moreover, having lost the top-tier powerhouse, Luo Chen, the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm's combat power had decreased by at least ten percent. Originally full of confidence, they now found themselves having lost their wife along with their troops. The brutality of the Patrolling Celestial World trial was evident from this, and the real fighting had only just begun. The nature of the subsequent fierce battles remained unknown.
Another three days passed, and Jue Luan had led the people of the Genesis Divine Nation back to the Genesis Palace. What awaited them were naturally enthusiastic welcos and celebrations. And Luo Chen, who had already woken up, had beco silent as if he had lost all hope. Upon returning to the Genesis Palace, he locked himself in his room and sealed the entire room.
After returning to the Genesis Palace, the very first order from Jue Luan was to strengthen the defenses around the Genesis Palace. Jue Luan was a smart man; he knew that for the coming period, the Genesis Divine Nation might beco the target of everyone's arrows, so the priority was to strengthen the defenses of the Genesis Palace, lest the Transforming Thunder Palace's fate befall the Genesis Palace. Having lost the cooperation of the Netherworld World, Jue Luan was not confident that they could withstand a joint attack from two powers.
The next day, just as daylight broke, the Teleportation Array outside the Genesis Palace that connected to the Netherworld World suddenly lit up, and pairs of troops began filing out from it. Jue Luan noticed the anomaly of the Teleportation Array imdiately. So by the ti the people of the Netherworld World all appeared, Jue Luan had already arrived in front of this group with three others.
Indeed, Jue Luan did not have the people of the Genesis Divine Nation surround this group that appeared suddenly; instead, he only brought three people with him. Among these three people, two were familiar faces, one of them was Qian Shang from the Chaotic Giant Clan, and ng Lan, a Light Spellcaster. As for the third person, he was a young man nad Ling Yi. This individual did not participate in the Blossom War and was left to guard the Genesis Palace.
Seeing the people from the Netherworld World, Jue Luan believed they would not act against the Genesis Palace, but the sight of this group still made him involuntarily narrow his eyes. There were thirty people in front of him! Each power participating in the Patrolling Celestial World trial only had thirty-six mbers in total, and now, there were thirty of them present. Does this an that there were only six people left guarding the Netherworld Palace?
What exactly was the Netherworld World planning?
"Jue Luan, this ti, we are just passing by, no other intentions!" Seeing the subtle change in Jue Luan's expression, Xi Zhao quickly stepped forward and explained to Jue Luan.
Jue Luan's face revealed an expression of 'as expected,' then said, "Myriad Spirits Realm?"
Xi Zhao nodded with a smile, but before Jue Luan could say anything else, Xi Zhao hastily continued, "Let introduce soone to you." After saying that, he gestured toward soone behind him. Then, Caoi, also known as Zijing, who had previously been guarding the Netherworld Palace, stepped forward at a leisurely pace. When she arrived at Xi Zhao's side, Xi Zhao glanced at Zijing and then said, "This is Zijing, the forr Guardian of the Dominion of Soil!"
Xi Zhao didn't say much more, just that one sentence. Xi Zhao knew that Jue Luan was also a clever person, and indeed, after Xi Zhao had finished speaking, Jue Luan's face showed a flash of surprise but quickly returned to normal. Nodding toward Zijing, he introduced himself, "Genesis Divine Nation, Jue Luan, also Luo Chen's half-brother in terms of ntorship. As for Luo Chen, I'll leave it to you, young lady!"
After finishing, Jue Luan took a half step back, then turned slightly to make a welcoming gesture. However, Caoi did not walk over but instead looked apologetically at Jue Luan, took a deep breath, and just stood there and suddenly let out a loud shout, "Luo Chen, if you're not dead yet, get your ass out here!"
Zijing's voice was so loud it was as if an enraged lion had roared, causing everyone nearby to feel pain in their eardrums, and moreover, the other mbers of the Genesis Divine Nation were also popping their heads out from various places, curious to look this way. Xi Zhao smiled sowhat awkwardly at Jue Luan and then said, "To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, we will take our leave first. Zijing, follow us once you're done!" The last sentence was clearly addressed to Zijing.
Both Jue Luan and Zijing nodded, and then Xi Zhao waved his hand, leading a grand procession of people off in another direction.
It had already been ntioned before where the palaces of the Ten Directions forces were located in the Patrolling Celestial World, and the distance between Netherworld Palace and Myriad Spirits Palace, if one were to go directly without getting lost or encountering Ferocious Beasts, would take about seven days. But now, by taking a detour through the Genesis Palace using the Teleportation Array, that ti would be halved. As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war; thus, departing from the Genesis Palace via Teleportation Array is the best choice.
The reason the Netherworld World's forces chose this mont to attack the Myriad Spirits Realm was because after learning of the elimination of the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm, all forces would surely send people out to search right away. Although the probability of finding the Transforming Thunder Palace wasn't high, everyone was willing to give it a try. But after the Genesis Divine Nation successfully seized the Transforming Thunder Palace, all those who had gone out would surely return.
The Netherworld was planning to launch a surprise attack after all the scouts had returned. In this way, those who went out to explore would have surely suffered from fatigue and depletion of Spiritual Power after such a long period of searching, and they might even have engaged in combat if they had encountered Ferocious Beasts.
Secondly, following those who had gone out would allow one to avoid certain traps and Barriers to so extent, and no one would expect an enemy attack right after they had finished scouting. The third point is that the Myriad Spirits Realm had already lost five people. And with so reductions in their numbers during the ti spent scouting, Xi Zhao estimated that there definitely would not be more than thirty people defending Myriad Spirits Realm at the mont. Perhaps there were only twenty-six or twenty-seven.
Most importantly, Sun Wukong had fully recovered to his peak, and the strength of his physical body had once again improved significantly. Sun Wukong could now even skillfully control the two-colored lights, one black and one white.
In fact, as soon as Sun Wukong woke up, he imdiately checked inside his body. After finding nothing, he imbued his Divine Sense into the World Suppressing Stele. That was when he discovered sothing. Besides, the two light beams, one black and one white, could be controlled by Sun Wukong after his Divine Sense left the World Suppressing Stele.
After so trials, Sun Wukong found that these two lights were indeed infinitely useful. For defense, the two-sided shield they ford, combined with the Three Thousand Barren Soil, was almost impenetrable, so much so that neither the Rogue Heart Sword Hero's slashes nor the Fla God's Exploding Phoenix could break through that defense. For offense, the two lights could transform into various weapons, truly invincible in their assault.
And on the night before departure, Sun Wukong discovered another secret of these two lights.
Therefore, with a nurical advantage, coupled with Sun Wukong's increased power and the deterrence of the World Suppressing Stele, annihilating the Myriad Spirits Realm was not a difficult task.
As for Fangcun Spirit Realm's Dao Zhun, although it was sowhat difficult to explain, in the face of Divine Nation interests, that did not amount to much.
