Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

The next morning.

Luo Chen read books all night by the moonlight, then rubbed his temples.

At the foot of the mountain, the younger sister, Liu Yuanyao, came up carrying a food box, her brows still furrowed with worry.

Placing the food box on the stone table, Luo Chen rose and sat down, praising, "Your cooking skills are getting better and better, but you don't have to cook every day, do you? Where are Xiao Jin and Xiao Yue?"

"Xiao Jin and Xiao Yue are currently in seclusion. You, Big Brother, only live on Panshan Mountain for two or three months each year, so it's not particularly troublesome for me."

Liu Yuanyao said softly, opening the food boxes and arranging the food items one by one.

The two siblings were enjoying the rare tranquility of the early morning, and neither of them spoke.

After finishing breakfast, Luo Chen focused his divine sense on the golden-haired monkey.

At this moment, the other party was being chased by a group of demons and was in great danger.

This monkey has gone through eighty-one tribulations on its journey, and this last one is the only one left.

Further ahead, near the Fourth Medicine Valley, there were no other monsters present.

Luo Chen withdrew his gaze, looking at his younger sister's troubled expression, and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is something making you unhappy?"

Liu Yuanyao tidied the table and said softly, "After more than two hundred years of stable development, the dynasty has reached a bottleneck. Emperor Wu is preparing to send troops to conquer all directions."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen stood up and patted his younger sister on the shoulder.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The rise and fall of a dynasty will not affect us."

Emperor Wu's ambitions were already considerable back then, so Luo Chen's current actions seem quite normal.

Moreover, if the imperial dynasty wants to grow, expanding its territory is the simplest and most direct way.

If faced with inexplicable man-made or natural disasters, Luo Chen is willing to step in and protect the hometown where he was born.

But if Emperor Wu himself chooses to send troops to wage war, and the Great Wu Dynasty declines or even perishes as a result, he will only watch silently.

Liu Yuanyao was well aware of her elder brother's methods and attitude. She nodded silently and said, "I just wonder how many people from the Demon Suppression Division will die this time."

The dynasty has taken full control of all its territories; the demons have either fled or died.

The duties of the Demon Suppression Division have been quietly changing over the years.

Unlike Luo Chen, Liu Yuanyao has served as a high-ranking official in the Demon Suppression Division for many years, witnessing its gradual development, and naturally, she has feelings for it.

"Brother, do you think that Xuan Tian Dao Zun who opened up reincarnation really existed? Do living beings really reincarnate after death?"

Speaking of reincarnation, Luo Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the vortex of reincarnation in the sky.

This vortex has absorbed the souls of the primordial world over the years, but Luo Chen has not noticed a significant increase in the number of beings in the world with past karma.

Could this vortex allow the souls of the dead to be reincarnated in other realms?

Is the Dao Fruit Grand Luo Realm cultivator really that powerful?

"Reincarnation definitely exists, but I don't know the rules governing its operation..."

Luo Chen smiled and explained to his younger sister.

Liu Yuanyao always believed her elder brother's words without question.

She nodded slightly, preparing to head to the Demon Suppression Division.

"May these cultivators and civilians who perished in the great war live peacefully in their next life."

Since taking the Golden Elixir and activating her Dao Patterns, Liu Yuanyao's cultivation has progressed rapidly over the years, even without serious practice.

He has now reached the third stage of Nirvana cultivation, and his progress is so fast that he would be considered a prodigy even in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Of course, they can't be compared to people like Ye Qi.

Activating Dao patterns only gives one a great chance to enter the Dao Void Realm, while Ye Qi was born into the Dao Void Realm; the difference is unimaginable.

Half a month passed in a row.

Emperor Wu's imperial edict finally spread throughout the land, ordering the preparation of a large army, the unification of the Great Martial Cultivation World, and the expansion of territory...

The world was in uproar. Even though the people were unwilling, they could only go with the flow in the face of the general trend.

In recent days, Luo Chen has felt that the prayers from people all over the world for the "Demon Suppressing Martial Saint" have doubled.

The people's wishes are simple and plain; they just want to live a peaceful life.

The Great Wu Dynasty enjoyed peace for over two hundred years, and the mortals and spirits of the common people have changed more than a dozen times, but the tragedy of the turbulent era is still etched in their hearts and written in books, indelible.

The will of the dynasty cannot be altered by mortal spirits.

These days, the Great Wu Dynasty has begun to declare martial law, and a somber atmosphere has swept across the land, affecting many surrounding forces.

Amidst the turmoil.

Only Panshan Mountain remains a world apart from the mundane.

Luo Chen spent his days reading ancient books, playing chess and drinking tea with Wangji, his days remaining leisurely.

Half a month later, he saw that the golden monkey had finally escaped danger, but its body had suffered a few more injuries.

It hid inside a cave, and after confirming it was safe, it curled up in a dark corner of the cave and fainted.

"Consider yourself lucky; you've escaped another calamity. Let's make the last leg of your journey a little easier."

Luo Chen murmured to himself, then casually pointed, and a ray of spiritual light full of vitality and creation vanished into the void, falling into the body of the golden-haired monkey in a way that mortals could not understand.

Help it heal its injuries and restore its demonic power.

Afterwards, Luo Chen prepared to head to the Starfall Ancient Realm. The Great Wu Dynasty had been too noisy lately, even affecting the tranquil Panshan Mountain.

……

The Milky Way flows, concealing a mysterious array.

Inside a huge white jade palace without a dome.

The Holy Dragon Emperor sat cross-legged on the Dao platform with his eyes closed. The Great Dao Flower within his True Spirit shone brightly, illuminating all the heavens. His hands moved continuously, as if he were deducing something.

A figure appeared on the throne on one side of the hall. This was another Dao Fruit Grand Luo of the Dragon Court, the Great Emperor of Crossing Calamity.

Emperor Du'e looked at the Holy Dragon Emperor, frowned, and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? The Holy Emperor has already made concessions."

"Forcibly breaking through to the Primordial Chaos realm is extremely risky; failure could very well result in death and the annihilation of your cultivation. With your talent, accumulating experience for a million years should be more than enough to guarantee success!"

On the high platform, the Holy Dragon Emperor did not open his eyes and said calmly, "It's not that I lack patience, but if I calculate carefully, the Heavenly Monarch has been gone for 1.2 million years. If he succeeds in his tribulation, the Dragon Court may cease to exist."

"We both know very well about the Heavenly Lord's aptitude. Once he accumulates enough through the cycle of reincarnation, he is very likely to step into a higher level in one fell swoop!"

Emperor Du'e said, "The cycle of reincarnation is not that simple."

"Having gone through countless reincarnations and tribulations, he still needs to comprehend the Dao upon his return. Whether he will have the courage to strive for something higher remains to be seen."

"So you're trying to pin your hopes on some vague and uncertain luck? Praying that the Heavenly Emperor will fail his tribulation?"

The Holy Dragon Emperor opened his eyes and calmly looked at the Great Emperor Du'e. His question silenced the other party.

Immediately, the Holy Dragon Emperor turned his gaze to the outer universe and said, "Since Brother Xuantian sacrificed himself to open the cycle of reincarnation, there has been no turning back for my Dragon Court!"

"This cycle of reincarnation is not for nothing. The next period will be the most prosperous phase in the history of the Dragon Court, and the general trend will have to make way for the Dragon Court."

A hint of impatience appeared on his face, and the holy light behind him seemed to shine even brighter.

Emperor Du'e stared at him in silence for a long time before turning and leaving: "I hope you can lead the Dragon Court to prosperity. If the Holy Dynasty tries to stop us, I will do everything in my power to do so."

The Holy Dragon Emperor's gaze fell to the north, and he said, "Don't forget, we still have allies..."

"I actually hope they intervene to stop me from undergoing my tribulation. That way, we'll have a legitimate reason to do so, and it won't be considered that we broke the agreement of the dueling tournament!"

The Holy Dragon Emperor spoke with an air of confidence.
