Fulu Rubik's Cube

Blue world.

The Lingxiao Palace of Daluotian in the thirty-six heavens.

Zhang Ke, wearing a robe embroidered with the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, sat on the throne.

There is a bright white light wheel behind the head, and through it one can vaguely see the rotation of the sun, moon, stars, and the operation of all things in the world.

A five-colored canopy above his head was like an umbrella, and good fortune and merits hung down like silk, clinging to his robes and scattering endless fine golden light.

The crown of laws is tied on the head, and the nine-colored pearl curtain containing the laws of the past, future, yin and yang, and the five elements is covered in front of the face, which can disrupt the calculations of heaven.

Behind him, 'Sky Ghost' Yan Fei'er and 'Soul Charmer' Ning Feihua stood on his left and right.

Both women have achieved the realm of Dao Zun and usually guard Zhang Ke's seat.

Ding Xiaoxiao and Qingmei sat comfortably on the emperor and empress chairs on the left and right sides of Zhang Ke, but they were in a trance and didn't know whether they were present or not.

Under the throne was a long jade table. Xu Qingzhi sat in front of the table, while Yuan Jinting, wearing golden armor, stood beside him, responsible for delivering imperial edicts.

Below the thirty-three jade steps, eighty-eight Dao Masters were in front and three thousand department heads were in the back, and all of them were sitting in an orderly manner.

All of them were dressed neatly in the robes of immortal officials. The Taoist master wore a jade-colored robe, and an embroidered robe woven with seven-colored clouds on the outside.

The heads of various departments were divided into civil officials and military officers according to their duties. The civil officials wore white robes, and the military officers wore golden armor with a red cloak.

Civil officials are on the left, and military generals are on the right, all neatly arranged and very dignified. Their duties and ranks can be shown by the shape of their caps and robes.

In the middle row between the civil and military officials stands a row of immortal officials in black robes. These are the heavenly officials of discipline, in charge of supervision and punishment, and are the ones that others fear the most.

During every court meeting, everyone had to wear the robes of immortal officials, and even Zhang Ke had to abide by the rules.

The number of Dao Masters who hold one hundred and eight positions has been filled. Except for the eighty-eight present here, the rest are guarding various places in the realm and are not present.

In the hall, three hundred and sixty nine-foot-tall "giant god soldiers" each holding an axe stood beside the pillars like statues.

Eight hundred Daojun-level 'guardian gods' and three thousand Yuanshen-level golden Taoist soldiers, wearing helmets and armor, lined up in the corners of the hall, ready to receive orders at any time.

Strands of pure and spiritual energy surged on the ground inside the hall like clouds and cotton wool, and from time to time, some floating clouds were rolled up and drifted away, making the hall look like a fairyland.

At this time, Yu Fengtong, dressed in golden armor, was standing in front of the hall.

“Since receiving the news 20 years ago, the Discipline Department has been waiting behind the boundary and has arrested 641 practitioners.

After investigation, it was found that 340 of them were on normal duty, and the other 300 were spies for the immortal cultivators.

Well~, there are two Dao Zuns, thirty-seven Dao Sovereigns, and the rest are Yuanshen Zhenjuns.

After interrogation, we found nine star field communication anchor points. We followed the laws of the Heavenly Court and sent back different messages.

Through the capture of immortal cultivators, I led the Discipline Department and over the past twenty years, basically wiped out the remnants of immortal cultivators lurking in this world.

There are a total of seventy-eight sects, two hundred and forty-nine families, thirteen tribes of spirits, and one hundred and thirty-seven thousand six hundred and fifty-four practitioners who are related to immortal cultivators.

Now these sects, families, spirits and practitioners have all been sealed off and arrested, awaiting their fate."

On the throne, Zhang Ke's eyes, filled with gray mist, slowly glanced downwards.

As he watched, the laws of nature changed immediately.

Above his head, two hundred-foot-long platinum-colored thin rays of light split into two arc-shaped cracks, like tightly closed eyes slowly opening.

Two dark clouds condensed in the two cracks in the sky, like human pupils.

The moment the Eye of the Sky opened, thousands of practitioners in the hall suddenly felt an endless pressure as if the sky was falling down.

Even the eighty-eight Dao Masters felt heavy in their hearts, as if a huge rock was pressing down on them.

Daoist Master Shouzheng couldn't help but be secretly shocked. They were both at the same Daoist realm, but how come he couldn't even bear his gaze?

After a moment, Zhang Ke closed his eyes, the Eye of the Sky closed, and everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Qingzhi asked in a deep voice:

"Are all the members of this sect suspected to be the remnants of immortal cultivators?"

Upon hearing this, thousands of people in the hall suddenly felt a murderous aura approaching, and their hearts tightened.

Yu Fengtong replied:

“Perhaps in order to keep secrets, in almost all sects that have connections with immortal cultivators, only the top leaders are spies for them, and most of the disciples in the sect are unaware of it.

However, there are many cases where the various sects involved have guided their disciples to collect information about the world by issuing tasks and other means. "

Xu Qingzhi closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked again:

"Did you miss anything during the Star Domain Communication Anchor Point Check?"

Yu Fengtong hesitated and replied:

“If there are immortal cultivator spies that have not been found, there may be communication anchor points that have been missed.

However, since twenty years ago, this world has issued a clear order prohibiting practitioners from leaving the world privately, so I guess the news has never been spread out of this world."

Xu Qingzhi shook his head.

"The sects all over the world have seized the secret realms in the void and integrated them into our world. I don't know how many cultivators walk in the void all year round. If there are immortal cultivators lurking among them, the news would have spread out of our world long ago."

Yu Fengtong remained silent. He knew that saying this was just wishful thinking.

After a brief pause, Xu Qingzhi spoke again.

"The Discipline Department is responsible for punishing those suspected of being spies for cultivating immortals. The execution is carried out according to the laws of the Heavenly Court, and the Supervisory Office is responsible for supervision."

"promise!"

The Director of the Discipline Department, Fei Shi Dao Zun, stood up to receive the order, and then he asked:

"How should we deal with those non-immortal cultivators in these sects and families?"

Xu Qingzhi said in a deep voice:

"Based on their deeds, not their hearts, those who are not immortal cultivators should be released, but those who are suspected of not being cleared of suspicion will be demoted and temporarily exiled to various places as refugees. They will be registered separately and supervised by the 'Guardian God' and the Military Department. They are not allowed to leave the place of supervision without an imperial decree.

If no abnormalities are found after a hundred years, the rank will be restored and compensation will be made."

After saying that, Xu Qingzhi turned to Zhang Ke and asked.

"Emperor, is this a proper solution?"

Zhang Ke slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"allow!"

Because he is the Emperor of Heaven, he is covered by the laws of Heaven, and whenever he speaks in public, he is accompanied by the voice of the Tao.

The sound like the ringing of a bell spread throughout the hall.

"I will obey the emperor's decree!"

Taoist Fei Shi respectfully accepted the order.

The matter of the remnants of the immortal cultivators came to an end, and Xu Qingzhi spoke again.

"Has the Star Domain Communication message been verified to be true or false?"

Yu Fengtong smiled slightly.

"I ordered those spies who surrendered to pass on information, nine of which were true and one was false. Even if there were spies who passed on true information, it would probably confuse them and make it difficult for them to truly determine the strength of this world."

Xu Qingzhi nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Since the establishment of Heaven, it has been sparing no effort to track down the remnants of immortal cultivators.

This time, by following the clues through Chichengzi, they directly dealt a heavy blow to the remnants of the immortal cultivators.

Even if there were some omissions, given the panic, I don't think many people would dare to risk their lives to pass on the news.

What's more, as the Blue Realm ascends to the Great Thousand World, the number of high-level practitioners in the realm shows a step-by-step increase.

Today, the strength of the Azure Realm is no weaker than that of the general universe. Not counting the people around Zhang Ke, the eighty-eight Dao Masters under the Jade Steps are the best examples.

The number of Daozun among the immortal cultivators has now been spread in a small area through the mouth of Chichengzi.

No one would easily switch to the immortal cultivators at this moment, even those undercover personnel who survived from the immortal cultivators.

Inside the main hall, thousands of officials were discussing in low voices matters concerning immortal cultivators.

After waiting for a while, when the rustling sound below gradually faded away, Xu Qingzhi asked loudly.

"Where is Tianyanyuan?"

Taoist Master Bai Shi stood up from his seat and walked out.

"exist!"

Xu Qingzhi asked:

"Has the star map delivered to Tianyan Academy three years ago been deduced?"

Bai Shi Dao Zun replied:

"completed."

Xu Qingzhi perked up, looked back at Zhang Ke, and ordered:

"Manifest the star map."

"Yes!"

Taoist Master Bai Shi took out a palm-sized crystal ball from his sleeve and threw it towards the front hall of the temple.

The crystal ball hovered in the air, with blue light flashing like stars.

Taoist Master Bai Shi pointed at the crystal ball.

A blue light flashed, and the crystal ball spun rapidly. The azure light bloomed, and in the blink of an eye, a starry sky scene hundreds of feet in size appeared.

Suddenly, a galaxy appeared in the void, dotted with billions of twinkling stars.

A thin golden line appeared at the fingertips of Taoist Bai Shi, pointing towards a circle of stars in the west of the galaxy.

Where the golden line landed, a circle of starlight suddenly appeared on the other side of the front hall.

I saw thousands of densely packed stars slowly rotating around a star that was shining with brilliant five-colored light.

"Emperor, please look!"

Zhang Ke leaned forward slightly and looked over with his eyes filled with gray mist.

"This is the Qiongluo star region of the spiral galaxy, and the 'Yuanming Qingjing Realm' is here.

The 'Zhejian' realm where the immortal cultivators live is one of these thousands of stars."

Taoist Bai Shi said this, and the golden thread in his hand randomly placed a golden mark on one of the stars.

Then, he used the golden thread in his hand to point out a golden mark below the east direction of the galaxy.

"This is where our world is located, which is the eastern star region of the Whirlpool Galaxy."

Then, Taoist Master Bai Shi connected the two golden marks into a golden line in the galaxy.

"This is the distance between the 'Zhijian' realm and our realm.

Tianyan Academy deduced that if we calculate based on the speed at which the 'Haojing Shangyuan Spirit Realm' moved the stars, it would take about 240 years for the 'Zhejian' star to reach our realm."

Taoist Master Bai Shi used only a few words to describe the manifestation of the star map clearly.

But these few sentences were derived by 8,000 people proficient in divination in Tianyan Academy who worked day and night for three years.

Taoist Master Bai Shi’s words moved everyone in the hall.

Twenty years ago, the phenomenon of 'Nine Stars in a Row' appeared in the sky, and it was at this time that the remnants of the immortal cultivators passed on the message to the immortal cultivators.

Calculating the time, another two hundred and forty years would clearly be a period of ten thousand years.

'I see! ’

Everyone suddenly understood why the latent cultivator was activated at this time.

"Cough cough~~"

Dao Zun Shouzheng coughed twice, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall, and asked in a deep voice:

"This star map can actually show such a vast starry sky. This old man has never seen or heard of anything like it. I wonder where this treasure map came from. Are the positions of the stars marked on it accurate?"

Thousands of practitioners in the hall looked at Taoist Master Bai Shi.

The accuracy of the star map is related to the timing of the return of the army of immortal cultivators. If the star map is inaccurate, the Blue Realm will lose the initiative.

Taoist Master Bai Shi did not answer. He only made inferences based on the star map. How could he know whether the star map was real or not?

Xu Qingzhi interrupted:

"This star map was obtained by the Emperor from the hands of the Heavenly Lord. It is absolutely true."

"Hiss~~"

Dao Zun Shouzheng felt his scalp tingling when he heard this. Why did he involve Zhang Ke?

Also, how is he connected with Tianzun?

Nowadays, the number of Dao Masters in the Azure Realm has been filled to 108, most of whom are from former top-grade sects, and only more than 40 are Zhang Ke’s direct descendants.

This is normal. After all, the foundation of a top-grade sect has been accumulated over nearly ten thousand years, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary sects.

In the past, they were unable to break through due to the limitation of the realm, but now that the realm has been successfully upgraded, naturally a large number of Taoist Masters from the top-level sects have been successfully promoted to Taoist Lords.

Being at the same level as Dao Zun, and most of them coming from former top-tier sects, those who uphold the right path and Dao Zun inevitably have a few more concerns.

Although they no longer have the idea of ​​overthrowing the Heaven Court, after all, that is the trend of the world, they still have the idea of ​​gaining some extra benefits for the sect.

But after hearing Xu Qingzhi's words, Dao Zun Shouzheng no longer had any extra thoughts in his mind.

"Alas, it is better to just guard the 'Daode Sect'."

Little did he know that the Heavenly Master that Xu Qingzhi referred to was actually completely different from what he imagined.

In the past, Zhang Ke obtained a 'Star Alliance of the Heavens' card after killing Kaka of 'Haojing Shangyuan Spirit Realm' in the Mist Realm.

The 'Star Alliance of the Heavens' is a place for communication between all the worlds established by seven celestial masters with their great magic power, great supernatural powers and great wisdom.

Because it covers all the heavens and connects the stars, it is also called the 'Star Alliance of the Heavens'.

Through the 'Star Alliance of All Heavens', Zhang Ke exchanged for countless resources.

Without mentioning what he had gained from it in the past, Zhang Ke only let Xu Qingzhi exchange it for astronomical amounts of various cultivation resources in order to fight against the 'Haojing Shangyuan Spiritual Realm' and the realm ascension.

Otherwise, with the foundation of the Azure Realm alone, how could it be possible to construct thousands of "Giant God Soldiers".

You know, there is a core treasure for constructing the 'Giant God Soldier' ​​that is extremely rare in the Blue Realm. This is also the main reason why other sects have never been able to construct the 'Giant God Soldier'.

Because Zhang Ke frequently traded in the 'Star Alliance of All Heavens', some of the treasures and quantities attracted the attention of a Heavenly Master who established the Star Alliance.

It was also through this unknown Heavenly Venerable that Zhang Ke exchanged for a star field distribution map three years ago.

Of course, Xu Qingzhi's words were also meant to deliberately mislead.

Although she was not worried about the rebellion of the Taoist masters of various sects, she did not want to leave even the slightest chance for others. Human nature cannot stand the test, and the same goes for practitioners.

When it comes to the realm of everyone in the hall, every thought will have an impact.

Xu Qingzhi felt the changes in the scattered qi of the crowd and continued:

"Through this communication with the immortal cultivators, it seems that the 'Yuanming Qingjing Realm' also has occasional friction with other great worlds.

Although the immortal cultivators who abandoned their world have established themselves in the "Yuanming Qingjing World" by offering treasures, the "Zhejian" world they live in is still just one of the thousands of worlds. Because the immortal cultivators need a lot of spiritual stones to practice, the immortal cultivators have caused great damage to the "Zhejian" world.

Due to the scarcity of resources, the growth in the strength of immortal cultivators over the past few thousand years is not as terrifying as we imagined.

Secondly, if the Taoist masters among the immortal cultivators want to break through to the realm of Taoist masters, they must complete the special tasks issued by the three great masters of the 'Yuanming Qingjing Realm'.

Most of these tasks are extremely difficult and require the gathering of power from one world, such as fighting with other worlds or encircling and suppressing super-large void beasts, which results in the deaths of a large number of immortal cultivators.

In addition, the 'Yuanming Qingjing Realm' governs thousands of realms, and no force wants to see other forces grow stronger.

Due to the numerous restrictions, there are not many Taoist masters who practice Taoism.

According to the information gathered during this spying, the 'Heaven-Chasing Star Alliance' established by the immortal cultivators now has only eleven Dao Masters.

The spiritual veins of the 'Zhejian' realm, like those of our realm in the past, have been completely harvested by them.

Therefore, the immortal cultivators will definitely return to this world to plunder. "

After briefly describing the situation facing the Azure Realm, Xu Qingzhi stopped talking.

Thousands of people in the hall were discussing in low voices. With the assurance in Xu Qingzhi's words, the huge stone that had been weighing on everyone's heart for a long time disappeared.

I never thought that there are only a dozen Dao Masters among the immortal cultivators now, which is nearly ten times the gap compared to this world.

At this time, everyone no longer felt fear, and some were even eager to try.

The rank of 108 Dao Masters in the Heavenly Palace is now full. If the Dao Masters in the palace want to make further progress, they can only pin their hopes on expanding their boundaries.

The return of the immortal cultivators is not only no longer a threat, but instead a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for all the Taoist masters in the world.

A Taoist from the Weapon Refining Department stood up and asked:

"In this case, the great calamity of immortal cultivators is actually a good thing for the growth of our world, but I wonder if they will get any external assistance?

After all, there are thousands of realms under the "Yuanming Qingjing Realm". If the strength of this realm is leaked by the immortal cultivators' spies, the immortal cultivators will most likely seek help from the outside.

Besides, the 'Yuanming Qingjing Realm' is ruled by a Heavenly Lord, just in case..."

The Taoist didn't say much, but Xu Qingzhi knew what he meant and couldn't help but nodded. This was also what she was worried about. She turned her head to look at Zhang Ke.

On the throne, Zhang Ke slowly shook his head and said:

"Having received the benefits of heaven and earth, we should also be subject to the constraints of heaven and earth.

Most of the Heavenly Lords are promoted by following the will of the universe. The cause and effect involved are extremely important. In order to suppress the fortune of the realm, most of the Heavenly Lords cannot easily leave their world.

In addition, there are enemies from other universes in the 'Yuanming Qingjing Realm'. Once they temporarily leave the realm, they are likely to be undermined by the enemy universe, so there is no need to worry about the participation of the Heavenly Venerable in the battle."

The resounding sound, like the sound of a bell, reverberated in the hall.

Thousands of people in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Ding Xiaoxiao suddenly turned her head and glanced at Zhang Ke.

When the Azure Realm was ascending in latitude, she had asked Zhang Ke why he didn't enter the realm to receive feedback on his merits and fortune.

Zhang Ke’s answer at that time was that he did not want to bear the consequences.

Now it seems that he clearly does not want to be bound by the boundaries and can even resist the temptation to become a Heavenly Venerate.

But he had clearly integrated his own life-long spiritual treasure into the Azure Realm, and he would never be able to break away from the causal relationship with the realm in this life.

Due to her limited vision, Ding Xiaoxiao had no idea why Zhang Ke did this, but she was sure that Zhang Ke must have other plans for this.

"I want to see how Junior Brother will resolve the cause and effect relationship with the realm in the future!"

While thinking, Zhang Ke continued:

“Even if the strength of our world has been leaked, immortal cultivators may not believe it.

Haha, a realm where all cultivation resources have been depleted can be promoted to hundreds of Dao Lords in a few hundred years. If it were you, you would not dare to believe it, right?"

"Haha~~"

"Yes, the emperor is right!"

"Yes, the realm that was once considered a burden has now been promoted to the Great Thousand World. If it were me, I would not believe it!"

"Well, think about it, our ancestors didn't even have a complete cultivation heritage, their spiritual veins were exhausted, and their treasures were plundered. But today, hundreds of Dao Masters have been born. Who dares to believe it?"

"Haha, that makes sense!"

The atmosphere in the hall became relaxed with Zhang Ke's words, and everyone started to speak.

After the discussion died down, Zhang Ke spoke again.

“However, even if they dare not believe this, I think the immortal cultivators will be much more cautious.

In my opinion, the cultivators will most likely ask for external assistance, but the number will not be too large.

Hmm~~, I think the number of Dao Zun after their combined strength should be no more than forty."

Zhang Ke did not mention the threat posed by cultivators below the level of Dao Zun.

Through the battle with the Five Elements Sect of the Shangyuan Spirit Realm, Zhang Ke has come to understand that only the highest-level cultivators can decide the outcome of a battle, and the rest only play supporting roles.

After hearing Zhang Ke say that the number of Dao Zuns that could be reached by the immortal cultivators and others together was only about forty at most, Dao Zuns Bai Shi could not help but ask.

"I wonder how the Emperor could have made such an inference?"

Worried that others would say that he was questioning the Emperor's words, he then explained:

"Tianyan Academy has also made a deduction, and it is unanimous that the Immortal Cultivator Alliance is likely to have about 150 Dao Masters."

Zhang Ke smiled faintly.

“Tianyan Academy uses the strength of this world as a benchmark, and then uses the strength of this world known by the immortal cultivators to make an inference.

I am reasoning from the perspective of interest.”

After a pause, he continued:

“The immortal cultivators return for the resources of this world.

If the information obtained this time is true, there should be eleven Dao Masters among the immortal cultivators.

If a cultivator wants to gain the greatest benefit after destroying his own world, the forces of the Dao Masters he can unite with cannot exceed three.

The resources accumulated in one realm over ten thousand years can only meet the needs of the three Daoist forces.

If there are more, I'm afraid we won't be able to recover the cost of crossing the star field for two hundred and forty years, which is not worth the loss.

Furthermore, if too many Daoist masters get involved, the immortal cultivators may very likely lose the dominance in dividing up the world.

Secondly, if the number of Dao Zun forces joining together is less than two, once a conflict arises over the distribution of interests, internal strife is likely to arise between the two.

The number 'three' is the most stable and is easiest to restrain each other.

Therefore, I infer that the immortal cultivators will unite with the two forces of cultivators who possess the power of Dao Zun, and the overall strength of these two forces should be comparable to that of the immortal cultivators, or slightly inferior.

At the same time, in order to suppress the other two forces, the immortal cultivators are likely to unite with some of the direct descendants of the Taoist masters under the Heavenly Master. Please note that these can only be individuals and not forces.

Calculated based on the number of Taoist masters among immortal cultivators, the number of Taoist masters of the three forces should be between thirty-three and thirty-seven.

Including the promised benefits, there should be three to four people under Tianzun's tutelage.

Therefore, I infer that there are only about forty Daozuns among the immortal cultivators at most."

The voice Zhang Ke spoke echoed like a bell.

Thousands of people in the hall made their own deductions, and they would not blindly follow Zhang Ke just because he was so powerful.

Everyone has his or her own ideas regarding the survival of the realm, and this is a persistence engraved into the concept of practice.

Large Taoist deduction arrays appeared above the heads of practitioners who were proficient in deduction, and countless data were input into their own deduction techniques.

The most eye-catching thing is the strange phenomenon that appeared above the head of Taoist Master Bai Shi.

Above his head, a galaxy appeared with endless stars rotating in an orderly manner. The Taoist wanted to pay attention to it, but his soul was almost drawn into it.

Two hours later, the last practitioner who was proficient in deduction also dispersed the deduction formation.

In the end, 80% of the practitioners agreed with Zhang Ke's deduction.

'It seems that even if the immortal cultivators work together, their overall strength is weaker than that of this world.

With the current development speed of our world, in another two hundred and forty years, the strength of our world will be able to increase by another 30%.

When the Immortal Cultivator Alliance returns, we can give him a big surprise.'

Thousands of palm strikes in the hall made everyone smile.

I have a feeling in my heart of 'let you give up on us in the first place, and see how you will regret it when we meet again'.

Xu Qingzhi asked Zhang Ke:

“Now we have a basic understanding of the strength of the immortal cultivators in our team.

May I ask your Majesty, what are the main areas of development we will focus on in the next two hundred and forty years?"

Nowadays, the development of all aspects of the Blue World is extremely rapid, but in the face of the attack of the Immortal Cultivator Alliance, it is still necessary to have a targeted development strategy.

Zhang Ke had already planned this, and said:

“In this kind of battle between realms, in addition to the competition of overall strength, the most crucial thing is the number of Dao Masters on both sides.

Now the number of Dao Zuns in this world has been filled. According to the current development speed of this world, it will take another three thousand years of accumulation before the number of Dao Zuns can be increased again.

Even if the development is faster in the past two hundred and forty years, it will only increase the overall strength, and will not have a big impact on the boundary war. "

Having said this, Zhang Ke paused briefly.

"Shiraishi!"

"exist!"

Zhang Ke snapped his fingers, and a platinum-colored light popped out from his fingertips and landed in the middle of the golden line on the star map in the hall, making an obvious mark.

"I see the vastness of the void here. Do you know its name?"

Taoist Master Bai Shi closed and opened his eyes, and suddenly a rotating galaxy appeared in his eyes, and the scene inside corresponded to the star map.

A quarter of an hour later, Taoist Bai Shi closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the golden line on his fingertips pointed to the position pointed by Zhang Ke in the star map.

The space where the star map points extends infinitely, and in a flash it appears to be hundreds of feet in size.

But in the eyes of everyone, the void shown on the star map was gloomy and dark. Countless space cracks filled the entire void, and there seemed to be endless thick fog vaguely displayed.

"Emperor, this void is called 'Falling Immortal Ruins'. According to the star map, hundreds of thousands of years ago, the old Heavenly Court killed tens of thousands of rebellious immortal officials here, causing the void to shatter, hence the name."

Zhang Ke hesitated for a moment.

“Although it will take another 240 years for the Immortal Cultivator Alliance to arrive.

But I always like to annihilate the enemy outside, so as to ensure the safety of the realm to the greatest extent.

I intend to send out an expedition three years later, and fight a decisive battle with the Immortal Cultivator Alliance right here in the Fallen Immortal Ruins."

Zhang Ke's eyes were filled with gray mist, and he smiled faintly:

"Haha, 'Falling Immortal Ruins', what a good name! Immortal cultivators must perish here!"

Xu Qingzhi's heart was shocked, and he swept his eyes around the hall, only to see countless energies surging, showing the uneasy psychology of many practitioners.

"Emperor, the Immortal Cultivator Alliance has invaded across the star field, and the losses are bound to be great.

The world has 240 years of good opportunities for development, and it is just the right time to take advantage of it.

At the same time, you can also obtain countless cultivation resources and integrate them into this world. Why bother to send troops on an expedition? "

Xu Qingzhi's words were agreed by many people in the hall.

The expedition is too risky, not to mention the various unpredictable dangers that may be encountered in the void.

If you guess the intention of the Immortal Cultivator Alliance wrongly and flee into the void, they will attack you from another direction.

By that time, the main force will be outside, won’t the realm be in danger?

Zhang Ke shook his head and said:

"After practicing to my level, I have a vague feeling that if we wait for the Immortal Cultivator Alliance to arrive in 240 years, our world may be in danger of extinction."

As soon as these words were spoken, thousands of people in the hall were all shocked, even Qingmei, who was as pale as a mountain collapsed and remained calm, had a change of expression.

“But you don’t know where the danger comes from?”

"What's the danger?"

"."

Faced with the anxious questioning of thousands of people, Zhang Ke looked up at the top of the hall, his eyes filled with gray mist as if he was looking through the dome into the endless void.

No one in the palace is a fool.

From Zhang Ke's unspeakable look as he looked up into the void, as well as the current strength of the Azure Realm, a terrible guess was born in the hearts of countless people.

"Could it be Tianzun?"

"But didn't the Emperor say that Tianzun couldn't take action in this battle? What's the secret behind this?"

Countless speculations arose in the minds of many practitioners.

After a long time, Zhang Kefang spoke again:

"I just had a hunch, it was like coming to a fork in the road, with multiple choices in mind.

Things in the future are changing rapidly, and I just realized it. I feel that only by taking action in advance can we avoid disasters."

Seeing that everyone in the hall was panicking, Zhang Ke said in a deep voice:

"I have made up my mind, all departments just obey my orders!"

Hearing Zhang Ke's words, thousands of people in the hall could only respond in unison.

"I will obey the emperor's decree!"

Zhang Ke stood up from the throne.

“During this expedition, Taoist Master Qixia will be in charge of this world, and thirty-eight Taoist Masters will stay behind.

Secondly, the three divisions of the Eight Divisions, namely, the Divine, Underworld, and Forbidden Divisions, and the 360 ​​Star Palaces of the Zhoutian will stay behind, and an additional 3,000 Giant God Soldiers will be deployed to assist in the defense."

Ding Xiaoxiao responded:

"Leave all matters of the realm to me, and I will ensure that the Emperor has no worries."

Zhang Ke said "hmm" for the rest of his life, and continued:

“Except for those who stay in the realm, all the Dao Masters will follow me into battle.

One hundred and eighty thousand of the Thirty-Six Heavens Hanging Mountains were deployed, manned by a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers led by the patrolling immortal officials.

In addition, the five divisions of Thunder, Fire, Fighting, Wind, and Water, the thirty-six divisions, the three celestial palaces, the four images, and the twenty-eight constellations all follow me into battle."

As soon as this order came out, more than half of the thousands of people in the hall stood up and accepted the order.

"promise!"

Three years later.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month in the 689th year of the Tiandao calendar, Zhang Ke personally led the Heavenly Court army to leave the world for an expedition.

In the history of the later cultivation world of the Azure Realm, this cross-border westward expedition is of milestone significance.

Since this year, the Blue Realm has truly gained the ability to conquer across borders.

In the countless years since then, the Azure Realm has made countless cross-border conquests, capturing hundreds of people in the Great Thousand World alone, and destroying countless realms below it.

But in any case, this first cross-border expedition in 689 is the most representative in the history of the Azure Realm. (End of this chapter)
