Chapter 959 Honesty
boom! ! !
In the sky, the sharp sound of breaking through the air seemed like thunder, coming rapidly from far away.

In the blink of an eye, like a meteorite falling from the sky, the flying figure crashed to the ground with a bang.

Dust rolled, the scales on his armor shone golden, the blade was drooping, and the man's eyes, as sharp as a blade, instantly locked onto Chu Mu.

But soon, as if confirming Chu Mu's identity as a human, the sharpness in the man's eyes slowly dissipated.

The man asked tentatively: "Eternal Life Sect?"

"The Grand Master of the Changsheng Sect, Chu Mu."

Chu Mu bowed.

The man sheathed his sword and clasped his fists: "Marshal of the Great Eternal Red Flame Army, Hong Shan."

Chu Mu asked: "What is the purpose of Daheng's expedition here?"

Hong Shan was silent, turned around and pointed at the faintly visible sandstorm in the sky: "I came here for this."

After saying that, Hong Shan did not wait for Chu Mu to ask again, and explained: "According to the imperial court's inference, the true location of the Heavenly Palace ruins should be in the center of this desert sea."

"The remains of the Heavenly Palace?"

Chu Mu frowned, a little confused.

Although he had come into contact with the Heavenly Palace ruins quite early, due to his fear of Him, he always kept his distance when the Tiannan immortal cultivation world explored the Heavenly Palace ruins on a large scale.

Later, he was busy with his injuries. After his injuries healed, his physical body transformed into a pseudo-fourth-level body, which drew his energy to the level of forming a fetus.

By the time he had formed an infant and had the basic ability to protect himself, the demon catastrophe broke out again, and the Outer Sea Human Alliance was completely wiped out.

The so-called remains of the Heavenly Palace naturally became completely false from that day on.

Moreover, judging from the situation after the outbreak of the demonic catastrophe, the so-called space portal in the Heavenly Palace ruins is most likely closely related to the legendary "Him".

For example, the Black Snake Clan was the first race of demon beasts to notice the existence of the Heavenly Palace ruins. However, in the end, the entire clan was directly evolved and eroded, and lost their identity.

The Changsheng Sect, and even the Human Alliance back then, explored the ruins of the Heavenly Palace on a large scale, but not only did they gain very little, the consequences brought about by this were direct collapse and annihilation!
The hidden and spread of demons must be closely related to the ruins of the Heavenly Palace.

In other words, among the cultivators and monsters who entered the ruins of the Heavenly Palace, a considerable number must have been influenced by him, and thus lost their true selves and turned into monsters.

According to some intelligence in recent years, the outer sea area has long been turned into a restricted area for living creatures.

This time he entered the world of demons and reached the sea border, but he only arrived there.

Compared with the initial rule of the Great Chu territory, the demons' operations in the vast sea are even more terrifying.

Whether it is the degree of alienation or the number and quality of the monsters, they are incomparable to the monsters within the territory of Da Chu.

He entered the world of demons in order to transform everything in the world into food, so naturally he had no intention of taking the risk of seeking death.

After realizing the danger, he turned decisively, and after going around in circles, he finally arrived in the southwest.

But the question is, this endless and silent desert sea, which was once the source of sand-tailed scorpions, could it be the true location of the Heavenly Palace ruins?
"You... want to repair the ruins of the Heavenly Palace and maintain the suppression of Him?"

Chu Mu asked tentatively.

"Correct."

Hong Shan nodded: "All the portals leading to the ruins of the Heavenly Palace that appeared before were just simple portals, and they are very likely to have been affected by Him."

"Most of the cultivators in our country who turned into demons are basically related to the Heavenly Palace ruins."

"Therefore, if you want to repair the ruins of the Heavenly Palace, relying on the space portal will definitely not work."

"We can only find the true location of the Heavenly Palace ruins and start repairing it from the outside."

"The changes in heaven and earth must mean that there is a flaw in the ruins that suppressed Him."

"We must suppress him again before he completely escapes. Otherwise, by the time he completely escapes, the ancient catastrophe will surely repeat itself."

Chu Mu was silent for a long time. He did not ask Daheng how to do it, nor did he ask about the detailed arrangements. Instead, he slowly said, "Can you... do it?"

Hong Shan also fell silent. After a long while, he smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know."

Chu Mu: "Is this place under the command of you, Daoist Fellow Hong?"

"In compliance with the imperial court's order, I, the commander-in-chief, am leading the four major armies of the Red Flame Army on an expedition here. In addition to the headquarters, the three national defense departments have also sent a chief to assist, and their cultivation bases are all at the Nascent Soul stage..."

"The commanders of the four legions are all in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. With the help of the battle formation, they can fight against the great Nascent Soul cultivators and compete with the pseudo fifth-level cultivators."

"The captains of each legion are all at the Nascent Soul stage..."

Hong Shan told out the information which should have been top secret as if it were his own treasure.

"not enough……"

Chu Mu shook his head: "Although I don't know how you are going to act, your actions will definitely attract the attention of the demons."

"With your current strength alone, you can't stop the counterattack of the demons from Da Chu."

Hong Shan said firmly: "We can stop it!"

"Why?"

Chu Mu was surprised.

Although the power of this Daheng expeditionary force seems huge, in fact, it is no more than the remnants of the defeated army that gathered in Qiu Ling back then.

There is even a gap in the level of power.

At that time, 90% of the hills had three great Nascent Soul cultivators, and the number of Nascent Soul masters was much larger than that of this expeditionary force.

But even with such a force, facing the attack of the Great Chu demons, they could only barely defend. You know, the Nine Cities of Qiuling back then were not facing demons from the entire Great Chu territory, but only demons from the central and southern parts of the Great Chu territory.

The rest of the demon tribes are basically focused on the open sea.

At that time, the pseudo fifth-level demon had not yet appeared!

But if what Hongshan said is true, the demons that the southwest has to face are not just the local demons in the southwest.

If things go wrong, even the monsters from Xingluo Grassland might be attracted here!

By then, let alone a few dozen Nascent Souls, even if there were several times more, the outcome would probably be destruction.

The demon clan has never been a group with autonomy.

Everything in this ethnic group revolves around Him!

If he is in danger, the demon clan will definitely stop at nothing and will be a thousand times more terrifying and insane than the beast tide!

Hong Shan smiled and asked, "Daoyou, have you ever heard of the Heavenly Palace Field?"

Chu Mu was startled for a moment. The next moment, he seemed to have thought of something. His pupils shrank slightly and he asked in surprise:

"You, can you control the Tiangong field?"

Hong Shan nodded: "This operation will be coordinated by the Imperial Court, and all nine military divisions of Daheng will be dispatched."

"Nine major military departments, each guarding a desert sea hub, with the Imperial Court's Heavenly Heart, they can cause the Heavenly Palace field to descend!"

"Within the field, those who are not human must be suppressed."

“Even if a true fifth-level demon appeared, it could only display the cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator at best.”

Chu Mu: "If he breaks the seal and comes out, can he be suppressed?"

Hong Shan smiled bitterly: "What if I suppress it? What if I don't suppress it..."

"According to the records of the Imperial Court, when he was at his peak, he had even reached the limit of the fifth level. Ordinary fifth-level masters couldn't even withstand a single move from him."

"Even though his power has been weakened over the years due to being suppressed, he is definitely invincible within the realm of level five."

"For us immortal cultivators, it's a long way to go before we can reach the fifth level. If he breaks the seal and comes out, even if he is suppressed, he will be nothing more than a lamb to be slaughtered."

Chu Mu asked: "He is only at the fifth level, how can he be able to corrode and evolve this world of immortal cultivation?"

"That's not clear."

Hong Shan shook his head: "It's too long ago, and many records have long been lost to time."

"But what is certain is that when he came to the world of immortal cultivation, he was already at the fifth level. After lurking for hundreds of years, he quickly reached the limit of the fifth level and directly swept across the entire world of immortal cultivation."

“It was not until a powerful master from the upper realm arrived that it was suppressed.”

"And this kind of suppression uses the power of the entire world as a cage. Therefore, after it is suppressed, the world will decline. The fifth level will no longer exist, and the fourth level limit will be an insurmountable shackle for cultivators like me."

"The improvement in the quality of the demon world also shows that the suppression of the immortal cultivation world is being weakened little by little, and the power of the world is returning to heaven and earth."

“If it weren’t for the demon world’s extreme rejection and suppression of our generation of immortal cultivators, maybe we would have a chance to break through to the fifth level.”

Having said this, Hong Shan was silent for a while, and then said: "However, I have a guess in Daheng, but I don't know whether it is true or not."

Chu Mu: "What's your guess?"

"Your Majesty once speculated that this suppressed Him should be just an incarnation of a more terrifying existence."

"Otherwise, a fifth-order lifespan would not be able to live so long, nor would it be possible to create a race, or even invade and alienate the world of immortal cultivation..."

“But these are too far away.”

"Even if he is just a clone, the existence behind him is unlikely to descend upon our small world of immortal cultivation."

"As long as we suppress him again and stop the alienation of heaven and earth, these demon tribes are the rootless source, and we can solve it sooner or later."

Chu Mu asked again: "What are you going to do?"

“Although there are no demons in the desert sea, the power of death and silence in the desert sea is too terrifying. The closer to the center of the desert sea, the stronger the power of death and silence. Even a Yuanying cultivator will be corroded and worn out by the power of death and silence if he goes too deep.”

"To repair the remains of the Heavenly Palace and suppress Him again, the first and foremost key is to purify the desert sea."

"However, before that, we need to induce the Heavenly Palace to descend. Only in this way can we resist the counterattack of the demons and purify this boundless desert sea..."

At this point, Hong Shan looked at Chu Mu with a sincere expression and bowed: "This is only for the people of the world, please help me, fellow Taoist."

Chu Mu said leisurely: "It's not just Chu, right?"

"The stronger the power that can be gathered, the greater the chance of success!"

"My Chiyan Army is stationed in Tiannan, so we must gather all the forces we can!"

Hong Shan looked determined and extremely frank.

"If you have any doubts, you can follow me into the city to discuss it."

"But if you have any doubts, I will tell you everything I know!"

"If there is even the slightest falsehood, I will leave it to you to deal with!"
