The old man was in a very good mood. This Demon Lord wasn't as difficult to get along with as the rumors suggested. The two sides chatted very smoothly, and after reaching a consensus, there were basically no more conflicts of interest.
For the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect, sacrificing a Sword Province in exchange for killing the Sunset Demon Emperor and gaining the favor of a Supreme Peak Dao Lord was a worthwhile deal.
From Jiang Mo's perspective, the sect's cooperation and solemn treatment in everything made him feel somewhat favorable towards the sect. It also gave him a hope that if their sect leader really achieved great success in cultivation in the future, he might actually be able to enslave a forbidden zone overlord. That would be incredibly satisfying.
Finally, as the conversation was drawing to a close and it was time for both sides to say goodbye...
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Jiang Mo's mind, and without beating around the bush, he directly asked the old man:
"Humans, demons, beasts, and monsters are all theoretically living beings. I wonder if the beast-taming techniques in your sect are also effective against humans? Or, is there a special technique for taming humans?"
Upon hearing this, the old man's face paled in shock, and he quickly whispered urgently:
"Fellow Daoist, be careful with your words! There are many ears in this world. If someone with ulterior motives overhears your words, they will surely make a big fuss and slander our sect..."
"Our sect has always only tamed beasts, never humans. The sect and the immortal sects of the major regions have made this agreement in advance, and we will never violate it."
The old man spoke with absolute certainty, displaying an expression of deep hatred for the Manipulation School, so convincing that it was hard to tell if he was telling the truth.
At the same moment, his previous goodwill towards Jiang Mo underwent a complete reversal. So it was true that the outside world called him the Demon Lord. He wasn't even satisfied with controlling beasts; he even wanted to control people.
However, the old man's actions elicited a different response from Jiang Mo, who smiled knowingly.
"It seems I misunderstood and had a misunderstanding. I'll have to visit your clan another day. I hope you won't laugh at my shallow understanding."
The old man's lingering fear gradually gave way to a smile, and he repeatedly clasped his hands in agreement:
"Oh, no, no, if you wish to come, we welcome you anytime and will do our best to be a good host without any reservations."
Chapter 633 Proclamation to the Four Regions
A quarter of an hour later, under the bright moonlit night sky, a continuous rumbling sound arose, and one after another, dazzling rays of light shot into the sky. It was the disciples and elders of the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect using the sword technique.
Among them were many powerful cultivators who could lift an entire magnificent building or palace with a single hand. These were their usual residences, which they would often carry with them when they went out after gaining strength.
Even if a substance weighs tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of tons, it is nothing more than a speck of dust to them and cannot affect their flight speed at all.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Under the arrangement of several peerless Dao Lords, tens of thousands of rays of light shot into the sky like a dazzling galaxy.
In an instant, a massive vortex of nothingness unfolded, distorting the real world and migrating towards another Sword Continent.
"Gentlemen, let's set off!"
With Chen An's command, all the disciples of the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect either flew on their swords or rode on their spirit pets, like thousands of birds returning to their nests, and their figures disappeared one after another in a rapid manner.
"Well then, farewell, fellow Daoist!"
Before parting, Dao Lords Chen An and Gu Qianqiu paused one last time, turned back to say goodbye to Jiang Mo, and invited him to visit the main sect of the Beast Taming Qingcang Sect in the future.
"Goodbye."
Jiang Mo watched everyone leave, then turned his gaze away from the sky, and the vast plain returned to its original tranquility.
"Young friend, do you think their sect actually has any techniques for controlling people?"
At this moment, the Evil Spirit Ancestor couldn't help but ask curiously. During their conversation, the Supreme Dao Lord within Chen An's body had given them a vague and ambiguous feeling, which they couldn't quite discern for the time being.
"Of course."
A faint smile appeared on Jiang Mo's lips as he thoughtfully said:
"But this thing is too taboo, and their sect dares not expose it for fear of attracting the encirclement and suppression of forces from the four regions."
“Long ago, a horrifying incident of human control occurred in the Immortal Realm. Back then, the Beast Control School was far more glorious than it is now, with six or seven hegemonic forces distributed across the four domains. The Beast Control Qingcang Sect was just a small sect on the edge of the Western Sacred Land, far from having the power it possesses now.”
"Later, those schools of beast taming broke the taboo and developed a technique for controlling people, which was even more thorough than beast taming. Once the seal was successfully applied, even if the other party had great abilities, they could not defy the tamer's will. The soul was directly nailed to the body. Want to abandon the body and be reborn? Don't even think about it."
As Jiang Mo spoke, he walked along, recounting in detail what he had read in the ancient books of the Immortal Realm:
"Once a slave, always a slave. If the master refuses to release the slave, the slave is forever a puppet, with no freedom whatsoever. Even life and death are controlled by the master, which is extremely tragic."
"Such methods are nothing short of evil cultivation. So what happened next?" Zhulong asked thoughtfully, feeling a strong sense of rejection and disgust towards this kind of beast-taming school for the first time.
"Evil cultivators? They are evil cultivators if they lose, and they are orthodox sects if they win. Many forces in the four major domains today are more cruel than the beast-taming schools of the ancient times, but no one dares to attack them. It's simply because they are powerful themselves, or they have forbidden zones backing them up."
"However, those beast-taming schools and lineages that you and I know were very unlucky. They touched the bottom line of the beings of the four major domains and the rulers of the forbidden zones at the same time, so they were besieged and wiped out."
"For tens of thousands of years afterward, the Beast Taming Qingcang Sect and some other pitifully small Beast Taming schools banded together to survive, grew stronger, and merged into one lineage. However, they still could not escape the attention of other forces. At the height of their power, they came together and forced the then Beast Taming Qingcang Sect leader to sign a treaty, in which the Beast Taming Qingcang Sect promised never to develop the techniques of the Human Taming School. If they violated this, they would be subject to the punishment of the sects of the four regions."
The Evil Spirit Ancestor and the Candle Dragon frowned slightly upon hearing this. Such promises and compromises might be effective in the short term, and the disciples of the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect might be willing to abide by them. However, as time goes by, ten thousand years, twenty thousand years, thirty thousand years, fifty thousand years later!
How many disciples, elders, and supreme Dao Lords are willing to be bound by these conditions?
Even if they don't do it openly, they've certainly done some research behind the scenes.
"Therefore, every thousand years, the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect will be patrolled by envoys from various sects of the four regions, from top to bottom, inside and out, with no privacy whatsoever. Even though they are now a hegemonic power, they cannot change this, because what suppresses them are six or seven hegemonic powers, plus the two forbidden zones of the Western Sacred Land and the Southern Netherworld."
"Coincidentally, the next inspection is also approaching, in just a few months."
As Jiang Mo spoke, the smile on his lips grew even wider.
Zhulong, who noticed this scene, keenly sensed something and said:
"Young friend, could it be that the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect invited you as a guest with such intentions? To use you to counter the forces that are exerting pressure, and further gain their freedom?"
"Maybe. That old ghost was very cautious, speaking in a secretive manner, as if afraid of being sensed by the supreme powerhouse of another domain. So he was timid and hesitant. But I could see his emotional fluctuations clearly. My intuition tells me that this old guy is not well-behaved. He probably has the sect's internal cultivation techniques, which he won't be able to hide during this inspection."
Upon hearing this, the Evil Spirit Ancestor, fearing nothing more than a peaceful world, fanned the flames, saying:
"Young friend, are you going then? You'll be able to arrest those envoys with a single move. With your martial prowess and the methods of the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect, you'll surely rise to power and create an unprecedented glorious era."
"I haven't thought it through."
Jiang Mo said casually that this was his true thought.
"This water is too murky and too dangerous. There are quite a few forces involved, including two forbidden zones. Once the conflict breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable. But it would be a pity to let me watch this method, which can enslave the rulers of the forbidden zones and the supreme Dao Lords, slip away before my eyes."
"So, I'll think about it for now and talk to Wan'er later to hear its opinion."
"That's good. Only by acting cautiously can we ensure long-term stability. We are newcomers and unfamiliar with the Immortal Realm. If we rashly provoke many powerful enemies, it will be difficult for us to establish ourselves in the future."
Zhulong agreed with Jiang Mo's statement and nodded.
"Never mind, the scenery in the immortal realm and the mortal world is no different. It's all the same scene of fighting, vying for food, and threatening each other."
As Jiang Mo uttered those words, he couldn't help but smile, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
The so-called immortality is nothing more than this; even if you become an immortal, what good will it do?
Or like a savage beast, constantly struggling on the road of life and death, even if you don't want to fight, there will always be someone who sees you as a threat, forcing you to tear each other apart until death.
"clatter......"
Suddenly, Jiang Mo stopped, gathered his thoughts, gazed at the surrounding mountains and rivers, and slowly raised his left hand, his fingertips radiating countless strands of dazzling silver-gray light.
"Boom!!!"
The next instant, those rays of light shot out continuously at an extremely fast speed, spreading for countless miles in an instant until they completely covered the edge of the 'Caged Bird' in Jianzhou.
Subsequently, those lights seemed to possess life, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, growing stronger and intertwining with the neighboring lights, transforming into towering barriers, each over 30,000 miles high and a million miles long, forming an irregularly shaped territory.
The barriers weren't very powerful; they were just symbolic decorations, and Jiang Mo didn't even put much effort into strengthening them.
His name is more intimidating than any restriction or formation.
Once the barrier was initially completed, Jiang Mo cleared his throat, looked ahead, and issued a proclamation of the Great Dao throughout the four regions and eight wastelands:
"From now on, the Eastern Wilderness Sword Continent belongs to Tianyuan and to me, Jiang Mo. Anyone who dares to overstep this boundary without prior authorization will be executed!"
In an instant, his voice contained a terrifying power that swept across the land and spread to even more distant areas.
Within minutes, all the forces in the entire Immortal Realm, including the creatures sleeping in certain forbidden zones, could hear it clearly.
Jianzhou, the caged bird, has changed hands!
However, no one dared to stand up and refute it, and there was not a single dissenting voice. After all, everyone knew that the powerful being who emitted the voice of the Great Dao was a forbidden being who came out of the forbidden zone, the Heavenly Abyss.
He is the undisputed number one powerhouse in the Eastern Wilderness today, having single-handedly destroyed a forbidden zone's Azure Tree. His achievements are so brilliant that there is almost no one in the world who can rival him.
Faced with this powerful declaration from the ultimate being, virtually no supreme Dao Lord or Nine Palaces Ruler was willing to challenge his authority, and they all tacitly approved of it.
Under the cover of night, the evil spirit ancestor and the Candle Dragon standing beside Jiang Mo made his blood boil. How domineering and bold they were, declaring their sovereignty over the entire Immortal Realm and claiming the caged bird as their own.
This is what a man should do!
"Did it work?!"
Just as the evil spirit ancestor was so excited that he was incoherent, the dark sky changed, billions of dark clouds gathered, and even deeper darkness was approaching.
"what is that?!"
Zhulong's pupils contracted as if he had seen something terrifying, and even his voice trembled.
What appeared to Jiang Mo, the Evil Spirit Ancestor, was an upside-down, blood-red purgatory, constantly falling from the sky, seemingly about to overturn and destroy the entire Sword State.
Such powerful magic can only be used by beings in forbidden zones!
Some of the dominant players in the restricted area made a strong move, unwilling to acknowledge Jiang Mo's status and wanting to test his strength.
"Boom!!!"
A terrifying mountain of corpses and a sea of blood rolled in, overwhelming everything. Countless vengeful ghosts and billions of twisted monsters were all affected by a mysterious force and attacked in a frenzied manner.
"Crash!!!"
Countless drops of blood splattered, transforming into a blood-red hand that blotted out the sky, and fiercely suppressed the location where Jiang Mo was standing.
This single strike caused the void to tremble and teeter on the brink of collapse, bringing the entire Sword Continent to the brink of destruction. This was a strike that surpassed even the peak of the Supreme Dao Lord, and the one who made the move was undoubtedly the Lord of the Forbidden Zone!
Upon seeing this, the expressions of the Evil Spirit Ancestor and Zhulong grew cold, and their eyes, instead of showing fear, became fierce.
At a time like this, is there anyone still looking for death?
"Boom!!!"
In the next instant, a towering, frost-white figure appeared instantly. It was Jiang Mo's divine form, tens of millions of miles high, incomparably majestic, as if a god had descended to earth.
That small cluster of blood, in comparison, seemed like an inconspicuous eddy by the roadside.
In that instant, every corner of the Immortal Realm could be clearly seen. A towering giant emerged from the heart of the Eastern Wilderness. His expression was cold and stern, and his body was draped with the primordial chaos true qi. Behind him hung twelve overlapping divine wheels. His unparalleled magnificence was reflected in the eyes of many ultimate beings, making them tremble with fear.
The Sunset Demon Emperor in the capital of Daye should have been cultivating, but he suddenly opened his eyes. Knowing the cause and effect, he stared at the figure outside the hall for a long time, feeling immense pressure. His face was full of fear, but in the end he remained silent and continued to meditate.
Coincidentally, the root of the plague in the corrupt nation also looked toward the giant shadow in the south, its eyes gleaming.
That guy's gotten even stronger, it's practically limitless...
For a moment, the ultimate powerhouses from all over the world watched intently, trying to guess Jiang Mo's next move.
"Boom!!!"
A beam of light descended, instantly tearing through the void and transforming into golden lightning that swept across the sky, terrifying beyond measure. In an instant, it completely obliterated the Blood Sea Divine Power unleashed by the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, leaving not a speck of dust behind.
Immediately afterwards, the Divine Physician spoke, and Jiang Mo's voice reverberated throughout the vast Immortal Realm.
"Why bother with my territory? If you want to test my strength, or if you have any grievances against me, come out and fight. That will determine who is superior and who will live or die."
“BOOM BOOM!!!”
The majestic sound of the Great Dao crushed the eternal void, and Jiang Mo's divine form stood in infinite radiance, a red light resembling the rising sun, as hot as a furnace of molten iron.
For the next few breaths, all the forbidden zones of the four regions were silent. Some dark creatures hid to watch the show, while others were eager to come out and compete, but were held back by their companions.
Meanwhile, within the forbidden zone of the instigator, the ruler of that forbidden zone, after tens of thousands of years, once again felt a suffocating sense of oppression.
Outside the restricted area, the towering phantom of the Eastern Wilderness gave it an extremely troublesome sense of threat. If it were to actually go out and fight, it would be seriously injured even if it didn't die, and the chance of winning was less than 100%.
At this moment, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone felt regret and lacked the courage to continue the confrontation, but it was also unwilling to bow down and become a shameful joke for the other Lords of the Forbidden Zone.
In those few short seconds, before it could even give a reply, Jiang Mo had already made the choice for it.
"Since you don't want to come out, then you can continue sleeping inside!"
"Boom!!!"
Jiang Mo's gaze was icy, revealing a terrifying killing intent. Suddenly, a pitch-black phantom materialized in the left hand of the Divine Image, which was none other than the divine form of Wuliang Jun. Immediately afterward, the sword's edge ignited with a terrifying sharpness.
Immediately afterwards, a waterfall of sword light cascaded down from the heavens, striking the location of that forbidden zone—the Blood Prison Abyss of the Southern Netherworld!
"Boom!!!"
A blinding sword light filled the abyss below, and a mournful wail resounded in an instant. Countless dark creatures turned to ashes, and even the Lord of the Forbidden Zone bled, severely wounded by this sword.
