All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 1082 Undercurrent
The messengers from Jin'ao Island did not only come to the capital; no one could escape the high-ranking Dharma Masters listed on the Heavenly Ranking, nor the Dharma Bodies of the Seven Realms and Twenty-Eight Islands overseas.

Yuan Hong had no powerful backing and shallow connections. He had previously been caught between two opposing sides, which meant that no one on the other side wanted to serve him. Whether it was the Demon Emperor, the Demon Saint, or the Saint of the Intercepting Sect, he had opportunities to serve them but missed them all.

But no matter what, Yuan Hong was a top-tier expert in the field of creation, and his Eight-Nine Arcane Arts were already at a high level, no less than Yang Jian's.

Even if a being of great power is not particularly adept at divination, it is still not a problem to pinpoint the locations of numerous avatars and deliver the invitation...

However, just as the Dharma bodies in different places received this invitation and had different attitudes.

In the direction of the divine order, His Majesty the Human Emperor, who had been silent for many years, once again issued a new decree, announcing it to the world.

On the same day as the banquet invitation on Jin'ao Island, the capital city also convened a grand gathering of immortals, inviting all Dharma bodies to participate. In addition, representatives from major families and sects would also arrive.

The timing and announcement of this direct confrontation clearly indicate that the target is aimed at the invitation of the envoy from Jin'ao Island!
Lu Da, He Qi, Kong Wen, Chong He, and other righteous Dharma bodies originally felt somewhat helpless and suspicious of the celestial envoy's invitation.

However, having a celestial being in front of them brought them immense pressure.

Just as they were hesitating and preparing to discuss a countermeasure, Tao Yu's imperial edict arrived at the perfect time!
Tao Yu's act of crushing the celestial messenger was done openly and honestly, and everyone in the entire capital city witnessed it.

Whether it's a spy planted here or some intelligence organization, the relevant information has already spread!

"To be able to outshine a celestial being, that's incredible."

Mr. Lu is a typical example of someone who has accumulated knowledge and skills before achieving great things. Despite not being particularly gifted, he has relied on his unique ability to "focus" to become one of the most accomplished individuals in the modern world, second only to Tao Yu.

Like Su Wuming, he already possessed some legendary characteristics during his Dharma Body stage.

"Since it is His Majesty the Emperor who has spoken, then we should naturally respond."

Mr. Lu was also decisive; Huamei Manor directly announced to the world that he would arrive on time!

As for Jin'ao Island, well, I can only apologize!

Even if there are stronger forces behind Jin'ao Island, the celestial envoys they sent are just the tip of the iceberg.

Even he wasn't sure if His Majesty the Emperor could withstand the pressure.

But since this contemporary emperor has made this choice, he has expressed his support!
"The changes since the Emperor ascended the throne are visible to the naked eye. Regardless of whether there is some ancient figure sleeping behind Golden Turtle Island, or what kind of powerful being it is, they have never appeared before, and now they want to command the heroes. This is not acceptable..."

……

On the Chunyang Sect's side, Chonghe, with Tao Yu's help, has now recovered considerably from the backlash of the Lord of the Six Paths.

His true spirit was once listed on the Investiture of the Gods. By disobeying the mission of the Lord of the Six Paths, even a powerful cultivator who had mastered the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was greatly restricted.

He refused the mission at the risk of his life, but he also suffered almost irreversible damage, his true spirit was damaged, and his soul was torn apart.

Fortunately, he managed to survive for the time being, and Tao Yu used his own methods to give him a boost.

Even so, he has focused on healing his injuries over the years, and can only be said to have barely recovered, not yet at his peak.

On the other hand, Kong Wen was rescued by Tao Yu. As a monk, he naturally no longer cared about the intimidation and threats from Jin'ao Island and also issued a statement.

As the only Dharma Body of the aristocratic family, Cui Qinghe was saved from the risk of death by Tao Yu's help, so he naturally expressed his support immediately!

Since Tao Yu ascended the throne, his main focus has been on suppressing powerful families.

Even so, the Cui family still played the role of pawns, weakening themselves as well. They have always been Tao Yu's loyal lackeys, and this time they were no exception!

Subsequently, Su Wuming and He Qi both publicly stated their positions, clearly taking sides.

All the righteous Dharma bodies gathered around Tao Yu to show their support!

However, the one under the most pressure is undoubtedly the 'Donghai Sword Manor', which was the last to be announced and is the closest to overseas.

The geographical location of 'East Sea Sword Manor' is like a buffer zone and outpost between the mainland and the seven realms and twenty-eight islands of the outer sea.

If anything goes wrong, the 'East Sea Sword Manor' will be the first to be affected.

Even so, He Qi still publicly supported the cause despite the pressure.

Even ordinary people could vaguely sense the undercurrents at this moment...

……

Before Tao Yu's sudden emergence, the top spot on the Heavenly Ranking had always been held by Guldo from the grasslands. He wielded the Heavenly Punishment Axe, dominated the grasslands, and always had his eyes on the Central Plains.

There were even rumors from time to time that Guldor had broken through to the Earth Immortal realm and was about to head south, and every time such a rumor came out, it would cause panic among the people.

However, all of this came to an end with the great battle between good and evil in the capital city and the emergence of the current Human Emperor!
Although most people have never seen Guldo make a move, the record of the current Human Emperor is there for all to see, and he is generally recognized as being superior to Guldo!
Therefore, the grasslands have been quite quiet during this period, with no movement at all, as if the former number one on the Heavenly Ranking, now number two, has simply vanished into thin air.

But just as the celestial messenger from Jin'ao Island arrived and the Emperor's decree was announced to the world, the grasslands, which had been marginalized, suddenly became lively again.

Demon Master Han Guang, the Dharma King of Salvation, and the Dharma bodies of Yin Zu and Night Emperor from the Seven Realms and Twenty-Eight Islands of the Overseas Regions all gathered at the Golden Tent on the Grassland!

Besides the Dharma Masters, other demonic masters and half-step Dharma Body cultivators, such as the Joyful Bodhisattva and the Contemporary Mystic Woman, also gather here.

This one place alone has gathered almost all the elites of the demonic path, and for a moment it seems like a chaotic dance of demons.

"The changes in this world are indeed too sudden. A celestial being acting as an envoy, there's more to Jin'ao Island than meets the eye."

With his hand resting on the Heaven-Slaying Axe, Guldor spoke with deep emotion.

Even so, his words were filled with extreme confidence.

Although he did not participate in the battle between good and evil, the result of the battle had already spurred him on. Now, with the help of the Heavenly Punishment Axe, he subdued the grassland deity Changshengtian and merged with it. Under the suppression of the Heavenly Punishment Axe, he has already achieved the position of a celestial immortal!
Even though he had just become a Celestial Immortal, with the Heavenly Punishment Axe already awakened to the legendary level in his hand, Guldor was confident that he could suppress those Celestial Immortal envoys even if they gathered together!
After Guldor completed his breakthrough, he planned to convene a Demon Assembly to meet the successor of the Human Emperor, who had taken the top spot on his Heavenly Ranking.

But at this very moment, invitations from these celestial messengers appeared, and rumors also spread that the Human Emperor had suppressed the celestial beings in the capital.

This immediately put Guldo at ease.

I thought that after breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm, I would rule the world and be invincible. But why is the Celestial Immortal realm suddenly so worthless?
If it weren't for the Heavenly Punishment Axe successfully awakening to the legendary level after his breakthrough, he wouldn't have dared to convene this secret meeting again.

"Jin'ao Island is indeed not simple. The celestial envoy was just the tip of the iceberg. Behind it is an ancient powerful being backing it up. This successor of the Human Emperor has become arrogant and delusional after suppressing a celestial being. He is simply overestimating himself."

The Night Emperor smiled slightly, displaying a natural air of composure.

However, as a high-ranking Dharma Master, his words immediately made many people realize the meaning behind them.

Guldo frowned.
"So you've already submitted to Jin'ao Island?"

"If that's your view, then you can understand it this way. I have indeed joined Jin'ao Island and received rewards. In fact, everyone wants to fight against the so-called successor of the Human Emperor, which is consistent with the purpose of Jin'ao Island. In the end, we are allies."

The Night Emperor's words sounded very sincere and frank.

The Night Emperor was captivated by Su Daji, the wife of the island lord of Jin'ao Island, and willingly joined the island. As one of the first Dharma Bodies to submit, he learned some of the original plans. Initially, Jin'ao Island intended to control all the Dharma Bodies by having them consume the Nine-Turn Soul-Separating Pill for manipulation.

However, the strength shown by the successor of the Human Emperor and the vastness of the Human Dynasty ultimately led Jin'ao Island to choose to play it safe for the time being.

"The Lord of Jin'ao Island is probably even more ancient than the real Human Emperor. He is a figure from true mythology. It is absolutely worthwhile for us to cooperate. Leaving him some face will also ensure our protection."

"If he's really that strong, he could just suppress the current Human Emperor directly. Why would he need to come to us?"

Guldo gave a cold laugh.

"The problem lies here: the Human Emperor's Human Dynasty is connected to it. If the Island Lord were to personally intervene, it would most likely lead to a human tragedy. The Island Lord is only concerned about the karma and cause and effect involved."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Master Han Guang also spoke up appropriately.
"Does taking action guarantee that we won't suffer karmic repercussions?"

The Night Emperor did not answer, but the Dharma King of Salvation casually offered an explanation.
“We are already quite worldly-wise. In theory, we are also part of the Humanitarian Dynasty. If we step forward, it would be equivalent to loosening the internal conflicts, which could create an opportunity for the one on Jin'ao Island.”

The Dharma King appeared quite detached, as if his state of mind had been elevated once again.

During the great battle between good and evil in the capital, the Great Asura was killed by the Bluebird. There were also rumors that the Bluebird pursued the Dharma King of Salvation, and there were even rumors that he had also perished.

However, when the Dharma King reappeared, he presented himself in an even stronger form, dispelling the previous rumors.

"But that Human Emperor is already incredibly powerful. Even Celestial Immortals can defend against and suppress him in his Human Dynasty. Although the Great Khan is making another breakthrough, if we were to go there alone, it would be no different from sending ourselves to our deaths."

The Demon Master Han Guang was relatively more composed.

He had no idea how those two guys, Guldo and the Dharma King, dared to be so reckless.

Aren't you afraid of dying?
No matter how strong the island lord of Jin'ao Island is, if he is even a little slow in making a move, we will be in serious trouble!
The legendary weapon awakened, but it was just a legendary weapon, not Guldor!

Besides, if the Heavenly Punishment Axe protects Guldor, he might be able to escape even in the worst situation. But what about the others?
Originally, seeing that Guldo was holding this magical conference, he wanted to come and see if the other party had any brilliant plans.

Looking back, it seems like I'm just cannon fodder...

Han Guang, who was always cautious, now had the idea of ​​slipping away.

I don't think these people are reliable...

Han Guang had originally wanted someone to attract the Human Emperor's attention so he could plot against the Time Blade at the Xuan Tian Sect, but he hesitated slightly before nodding.
"Although it's a bit risky, since the current Human Emperor ascended the throne and the Humanity Dynasty was formed, we've found it incredibly difficult to move an inch within the protection of humanity. So why not stir up some chaos!"

After Han Guang nodded in agreement, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became lively again.

The Night Emperor said approvingly.

"That's a very clear choice. I've heard that you have a close relationship with the Demon King Tai Li of the Demon Clan. I wonder if there's still a chance with the Demon Clan? Actually, Jin'ao Island also has quite a history with the Demon Clan."

Although Yuan Hong was unruly, he could also be seen as a monkey demon, and with Su Daji added to the mix, they could indeed be considered to have a deep connection.

"I'm afraid that won't work. I don't know what consensus the Human Emperor and the Demon Race have reached. Every time I try to ask, Tai Li is very cryptic. It seems to involve the Demon Saint Spear as well. Currently, the Demon Race and the Human Race are allies. The Demon Race uses spiritual herbs to exchange for livestock raised by the Human Race as food..."

Han Guang seemed to have contacted Tai Li many times before, and he seemed somewhat helpless when he mentioned this.

"However, if the Human Emperor doesn't ask for help, the demon race won't take the initiative to come and assist."

"So that means if we ask for help, they'll be the ones on the other side?"

The Night Emperor hadn't expected this situation; he had previously thought that dealing with the demon race would be a piece of cake.

Two demon kings of the demon race were clearly killed.

"Theoretically, yes, but since we launched the surprise attack, we won't give them time to call for help."

Han Guang said in a nonchalant manner.

Whether you win or lose, it's the same.

"Things have come to this, and this is the only way..."

With Jin'ao Island taking the lead and the support of two top figures in the demonic path, Guldo and the Dharma King of Salvation, this seemingly hasty plan has been finalized.

The remaining demonic sects, in coordination with the mortal forces, began to stir things up, and the grassland army also headed south to minimize the human dynasty's blessing on the human emperor!

This is why Jin'ao Island, despite having such a significant advantage in strength, came as an equal allied force!

At least for now, the Humanitarian Dynasty is a problem for all parties.

Let's solve this big problem first, then we can prepare the food properly...

……

"Good guy..."

Tao Yu sat upright in the Jade Pool of the Imperial Palace, her eyes seemingly reflecting the image of the Demonic Cult Assembly.

Although the grasslands are not nominally within the territory of the Humanitarian Dynasty, it is only nominal. Through the penetration of trade, Tao Yu can listen to the entire conference without having to use the power of the lower classes.

If he wanted, he could even speak up and offer his opinions directly.

Seeing Guldo and the Dharma King Dushi making a ruckus here, Tao Yu couldn't help but pat the Golden Emperor on the shoulder.

What are you trying to do?

Guldo's Heavenly Punishment Axe was the Golden Emperor's peerless divine weapon, and Guldo was just a tool wielding the axe.

And needless to say, there's also the Dharma King who saves the world.

It turns out that the two most vocal opponents were actually pawns on their own side, which is rather comical.

"Yuan Hong may not be very capable, but his ambition is considerable. However, it is ultimately fate that he was manipulated by some divine will, his mind clouded, and he suddenly came up with this idea. But he is unwilling to directly suppress your Humanity Dynasty..."

In Yuan Hong's eyes, even if he could destroy the Humanity Dynasty, it would still be a huge loss for him.

When he is entangled in karma and cause and effect, it will bring him even greater trouble.

"Ha, wanting everything but unwilling to give anything in return, Yuan Hong is indeed as you described..."

It was in this strange atmosphere that the gathering of immortals was about to begin, and many righteous Dharma bodies, leaders of aristocratic families and sects gathered once again in the capital!

However, similarly, the Seven Realms and Twenty-Eight Islands overseas, and even the long-dormant demonic path, are now operating in sync...
