Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 286 The Pressure on Di Xin Arrives

Suddenly, Su Hu seemed to realize something. "Even if Your Majesty breaks free of your shackles, what then? We can neither advance nor retreat from Beihai City. Isn't this a certain death situation?"

"Could this be the punishment that Heaven has bestowed upon the Human Emperor for his cultivation? Using Beihai City as a tool to subject His Majesty to divine retribution?"

Thinking this, Su Hu's resolve strengthened once more. After all, what could a dying man do, even if he were a Great Immortal?

So he simply said, "Your Majesty, you have now broken through the shackles of Heaven and become the first Human Emperor after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."

"I wonder if you have obtained the inheritance of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of my human race. I clearly remember that my human race can also set up the Zhou Tian Star Array."

"If Your Majesty obtains this inheritance, breaking the Zhou Tian Star Array should not be a difficult task."

Di Xin was unaware that Su Hu's words had a hidden meaning; he was testing him to see if he could escape this certain death.

So he shook his head without hesitation and said, "Although I have become a celestial being, I have not mastered the Zhou Tian Star Array. Therefore, I will have to trouble you, Immortal Master, to find a solution."

Although Di Xin had already broken through to the next level, he was no longer as arrogant as before. This was because his perspective had undergone a qualitative change with his breakthrough.

In his eyes, it was no longer just a struggle among humans. What he could see was a great battle between cultivators who could fly through the sky, move mountains, and overturn seas.

These wars were not something that the human race could decide. In fact, it could be said that the human race was merely a victim of the war between cultivators.

Even at this moment, Di Xin only felt that he was facing the demon race. He was unaware that there were also cultivators from the Heavenly Dao, the Profound Gate, and the Three Teachings.

At this moment, Yang Jian spoke up directly: "If Your Majesty has no way to fight against the demon race, how will you face the upcoming great battle?"

"It can be said that the demon race's occupation of Beihai City was merely a training exercise for Your Majesty. The upcoming Investiture of the Gods will be the true battle for the rise and fall of the human race. Because at that time, Your Majesty will not only face the demon race, but also the cultivators of the three sects of Xuanmen."

The reason Yang Jian directly mentioned the Investiture of the Gods was that Di Xin at this time was no longer a mortal. As a cultivator, he naturally had the right to know about the impending cataclysmic event.

At this moment, Di Xin's brows furrowed instantly. He had already learned from Yang Jian's words what he was about to face.

However, this did not discourage Di Xin; instead, it brought a cold smile to his lips.

"Since the three sects of Xuanmen have colluded with the demon race to exterminate my human race, then I have nothing to worry about, because the Human Sect will definitely not stand idly by."

"With the help of the Humanist Church, I am confident that we can win this battle. It's just the conferment of gods, even if it is, it should be done by our human race."

If it were merely the demon race occupying Beihai City, Di Xin wouldn't have been so confident in relying on the Human Sect for assistance.

After all, since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Human Cult has never been involved in the conflicts between human races. Even when the Shang Dynasty destroyed the Xia Dynasty, Yu the Great, the founder of the Xia Dynasty, did not take action.

However, if the three sects of Xuanmen (the Taoist sects) were to join forces with the demon race, it would mean the extermination of the human race. The Human Sect (the Taoist sect) would naturally not stand idly by, because that would no longer be a war between humans.

As for Di Xin, who could see things so clearly, Master Yu Ding couldn't help but smile and nod, and then said something.

"Not only will the Human Church intervene, but the Daoist sect will also lend a hand to Your Majesty. Even our Grandmaster, the Azure Lotus Saint, will intervene if necessary."

"But that's all in the future. First, Your Majesty must be able to defeat Beihai City to have a chance to participate in the Investiture of the Gods. Otherwise, the two crown princes will have to take over Your Majesty's place." Di Xin nodded after hearing this. "I know that this is a test for me by the Sage of the Human Sect, the Sage of the Daoist Sect, and even the Sage of the Azure Lotus Sect."

"If I cannot even reclaim the small city of Beihai, how can I command the human race to win the upcoming War of Gods?"

Seeing that Di Xin was in high spirits and did not feel invincible because of the Zhou Tian Star Array and the Demon Master Palace, they were surprised.

This inevitably made the generals present secretly happy, since if even Di Xin had no will to fight, then there was no need to fight the next battle.

While everyone else was overjoyed, Su Hu couldn't help but face another difficult choice.

"The Human Church will fully support the King, and even the Daoist sect and the Azure Lotus Saint will intervene. How could Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, possibly replace the Great Shang?"

"By the way, aren't the sages testing Your Majesty? Why don't I also use this as a standard to decide how to choose?"

Having made up his mind, Su Hu prepared to see if Emperor Xin could pacify the North Sea before deciding whom he should pledge allegiance to.

Little did Su Hu know that Di Xin had already been aware of Su Hu's actions. After all, Su Hu's act of offering Daji to Di Xin was enough to warrant the extermination of his entire clan.

However, Di Xin had no time to deal with Su Hu at the moment. After all, Beihai City was what he really needed to worry about.

At this moment, Yin Shiniang spoke again to Master Yuding, saying, "Senior Brother Yuding, I wonder if you would be willing to help the King?"

Master Yu Ding smiled and said, "Four demon generals have arrived from the demon race. I injured Gui Che some time ago, and Xiao Tianquan bit off his head."

"I estimate that Guiche has already returned to the Northern Sea to recuperate. In addition, Jiuying has gone to Pingzhou City to cut off the King's supply lines."

"Now, only Bai Ze and Ji Meng, the two demon generals, remain in Beihai City. As long as they take action, I will definitely not stand idly by."

"As for Yuan Futong, he will naturally be dealt with by my disciple Yang Jian. So what Your Majesty and all the generals need to do is to break through Beihai City."

"However, the key to breaking through Beihai City is to break through the Demon Master's Palace. After all, only by breaking through the Demon Master's Palace can Beihai City be exposed to the King's iron cavalry."

Upon hearing this, Yin Shiniang frowned deeply. "That Demon Master Palace possesses a top-grade innate spiritual treasure comparable to the Heavenly Auspicious Cloud."

"Even Senior Brother Yu Ding is helpless against him, so how can Your Majesty break through his defenses? Doesn't this create an unsolvable situation?"

After all, Di Xin was her elder brother, so Yin Shiniang did not want her elder brother to be disqualified from participating in the upcoming Investiture of the Gods.

At this moment, Master Yu Ding smiled and said, "Since Master and the others are using this to test Your Majesty, it means that Your Majesty has a way to break the Demon Master's Palace."

"It's just that Your Majesty hasn't thought of it yet. When Your Majesty figures out the key, you will naturally have a way to destroy the Demon Master's Palace and quell the rebellion in the North Sea in one fell swoop."

"At that time, Your Majesty will not only pass the tests of the saints, but I will also pass on to Your Majesty the strategies for governing the country that my master prepared for you."

Upon hearing this, Di Xin fell into deep thought, for he truly did not know what he possessed that could break through the defenses of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.
