Undying Life

Chapter 907: Chapter 907: The Expansion of Great Dazhen

With a single arrow, Luo Xingchen shot through the distant Chen Zihao, then cradled the unconscious Chen Xiaoqian in his arms. Stroking her serene face, his eyes were filled with tenderness and sorrow.

At this moment, Zhong Shan had already left the hall with Liu Wushuang.

"Holy King, leaving Luo Xingchen here, will it be...?" Liu Wushuang showed a trace of concern.

"Make arrangements. From now on, Luo Xing Mansion will be his residence," Zhong Shan said.

"Uh?" Liu Wushuang was momentarily surprised but quickly understood Zhong Shan's meaning. Luo Xingchen was now part of Great Dazhen?

"Understood!" Liu Wushuang promptly responded.

Unbeknownst to many, Great Dazhen's strength had expanded once again. Not only had they gained Luo Xingchen, a peerless powerhouse, but the greatest harvest was the recent imperial examination. The Reincarnation Domain had attracted a large number of talents.

With proper training, these talents could be deployed to various regions, preparing for the next phase of expansion.

Five years later, in the court of Changjing.

"Report to the Holy King, in the southern Reincarnation Domain, Wuxiang Holy Court's Tianzi Mansion has suddenly seemed blessed by the heavens, destroying four great dynasties within five years!" Xiao Wang reported.

"Without any reason, how could Wuxiang Holy Court suddenly be 'blessed by the heavens'?" Zhong Shan asked, puzzled.

"According to scouts, a genius named 'Wang Jingwen' has emerged. His military strategies are divine, and his grasp of situations is extraordinarily precise. The campaign against the four great dynasties was executed flawlessly, leaving me in awe," Xiao Wang sighed.

"Wang Jingwen?" Zhong Shan frowned.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I have gathered extensive information about Wang Jingwen. Despite still being a mortal, he has become the top scholar of Wuxiang Holy Court!"

"Oh?"

"Wang Jingwen first appeared in a small southern town of the Reincarnation Domain one hundred eighty years ago, where he participated in a local exam and took first place. He then advanced to a major exam in an immortal city, winning the championship again. The city lord recommended him to take the imperial exam in Wuxiang Domain. This prodigious talent outshone eight renowned scholars, claiming the title of top scholar! Seven years ago, he arrived in the Reincarnation Domain. In just five years, he orchestrated a grand scheme that conquered the four great dynasties troubling Tianzi Mansion," Xiao Wang reported solemnly.

"Holy King, it seems we have a formidable rival in the south!" Xiao Wang said calmly.

Zhong Shan tapped the armrest of his dragon throne, seemingly lost in thought.

The court remained silent, awaiting the Holy King's decision.

"Enough."

With a final tap, Zhong Shan's finger stopped on the armrest. He looked at Xiao Wang, "Wang Jingwen is not to be worried about. Our target is to unify the northern Reincarnation Domain."

"Yes!" Xiao Wang responded immediately.

Internally, Xiao Wang was curious. Why was Wang Jingwen not a concern? How would the Holy King deal with such a genius opponent? Unable to grasp Zhong Shan's thoughts, Xiao Wang had no choice but to obey.

Since Zhong Shan had declared it, the ministers naturally followed his lead.

"How are the front lines?" Zhong Shan asked again.

Xiao Wang stepped back into the line, and Yi Yan stepped forward.

"Report to the Holy King, of the eight great dynasties on the front lines, three have already been destroyed by others. One dynasty even exterminated another and presented their king's head to us as a token of submission. The remaining three dynasties are also on the verge of collapse. I believe this is the critical moment. Our army can seize the opportunity to conquer the eight great dynasties! Thus, Great Dazhen will occupy one-fifth of the northern Reincarnation Domain!" Yi Yan reported solemnly.

"Approved!" Zhong Shan nodded.

With that single word, the entire landscape of the Reincarnation Domain shifted dramatically. The army of Great Dazhen, fierce as wolves and tigers, charged towards the former eight great dynasties.

Great Dazhen possessed the elite troops of a small thousand-world, and their generals were top-tier talents. After the imperial examinations, even more talents from the Reincarnation Domain were incorporated into their ranks.

The national beast, the wolf tribe, and the four great mythical beast clans—dragon, tiger, phoenix, and tortoise—were all under Great Dazhen's powerful influence, both in strange and righteous ways.

Crushing opposition effortlessly, the once-stalled Great Dazhen surged forward again, unstoppable.

In just six short years, Great Dazhen conquered the eight great dynasties, firmly establishing its position in the Reincarnation Domain. Now, Great Dazhen controlled one-fifth of the northern Reincarnation Domain, equating to one-tenth of the entire domain.

Good news arrived at the court daily, filling the officials with vigor, and Zhong Shan himself wore a satisfied smile.

In a grand palace in the northern Reincarnation Domain.

The hall was surrounded by numerous thrones.

There were sixteen dragon thrones and twelve other ornate seats.

A total of twenty-eight seats, each occupied by a person of imposing presence.

On the foremost throne sat an emperor in a purple robe.

"All of you here today are rulers of dynasties or leaders of holy lands. It is my great honor that you have come," said the emperor in the purple robe.

"Qingming Holy Emperor, since you've invited us, let's get straight to the point," said one of the holy land leaders.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Very well, let's get to the point. I think everyone here understands why I've called you. It's because of Great Dazhen," Qingming Holy Emperor said.

At the mention of Great Dazhen, almost everyone frowned slightly.

"Great Dazhen has destroyed four holy lands, eight great dynasties, and even the Time and Space Dojo! We all know this. Initially, none of us paid much attention to this holy court. But now we can see how powerful it has become. In just over thirty years since its founding, look at the immense achievements Great Dazhen has made," Qingming Holy Emperor said solemnly.

The crowd fell silent.

"Originally, this was a matter for our imperial dynasties, but Great Dazhen's ambitions are truly vast. They don't even spare merits, so I had no choice but to invite the leaders of the holy lands as well," Qingming Holy Emperor said.

"But what can we do?" one of the holy land leaders frowned.

"It's not about what we can do, but about the progress of Great Dazhen. Recently, they have been resting and recuperating. But once they regain their strength, will they remain dormant? You've all seen Great Dazhen's aggression. The longer we wait, the more dangerous it becomes for us!" Qingming Holy Emperor said.

The powerful figures all frowned, clearly troubled.

"To establish an imperial dynasty or create a holy land, one must be exceptionally proud and ambitious. Who among us is willing to bow down and become a vassal? Great Dazhen has too many talents and too much ambition. In the future, do you want to die in battle or submit?" Qingming Holy Emperor asked.

"Die in battle? Submit? Hmph!" one of the holy land leaders snorted coldly.

"This world is just like that: either we are the prey, or others are. Waiting passively for disaster to strike is not our style," Qingming Holy Emperor said.

"Qingming Holy Emperor, what exactly do you propose? Speak plainly!" another emperor demanded.

"Approved!" Zhong Shan nodded.

With Zhong Shan's approval, the entire landscape of the Reincarnation Domain underwent a dramatic transformation. The army of Great Dazhen, fierce as wolves and tigers, charged towards the former eight great dynasties.

Great Dazhen possessed the elite troops of a small thousand-world, and their generals were top-tier talents. After the imperial examinations, even more talents from the Reincarnation Domain were incorporated into their ranks.

"This world is just like that: either we are the prey, or others are. Waiting passively for disaster to strike is not our style," Qingming Holy Emperor said.

"Qingming Holy Emperor, what exactly do you propose? Speak plainly!" another emperor demanded.

Qingming Holy Emperor glanced at everyone and said, "To seize the world from Great Dazhen!"

To seize the world from Great Dazhen? The expressions of the powerful figures changed. Although many had considered this, hearing it aloud was still a tremendous shock.

The room fell silent again.

"Great Dazhen is not an easy target," one emperor shook his head.

Others nodded in agreement, reluctant to be the ones to provoke Great Dazhen. The previous eight dynasties that challenged Great Dazhen faced complete annihilation. Would they risk it now?

"Heh!" Qingming Holy Emperor let out a cold laugh.

"Hasn't anyone noticed? Everyone here shares a border with Great Dazhen. It's only a matter of time before we face disaster. How long do you plan to delay?" Qingming Holy Emperor said.

"You want us to wager our empires and holy lands, to gamble alongside you?" one emperor frowned.

All eyes turned to Qingming Holy Emperor.

Establishing their kingdoms had not been easy. To risk everything on a whim? They were not that eager.

With a slight smile, Qingming Holy Emperor shook his head, "This is a grand gamble, and even I don't wish to take such a risk. That's not what I'm suggesting."

"Oh?"

"What I propose is to eliminate Zhong Shan first, and then take on Great Dazhen!" Qingming Holy Emperor said.

"Eliminate Zhong Shan? How? The number one expert in the Reincarnation Domain, Luo Xingchen, was killed by Zhong Shan. Who could stand against him?" one holy land leader shook his head.

"The Time and Space Dojo? That was its fate, not Zhong Shan's doing. Zhong Shan has only been in the small thousand-world for over thirty years. Before the creation of the heavens and earth, he was likely just a mortal. Even if his current strength is formidable, how strong can he really be?" Qingming Holy Emperor analyzed.

"What about Luo Xingchen? Even someone as powerful as Luo Xingchen was defeated by Zhong Shan!"

"Do you really believe that?" Qingming Holy Emperor sneered.

"Huh?" Everyone was momentarily stunned.

Why wouldn't they believe it? It was known throughout the world!

"Have you not heard 'Even divine abilities cannot overcome fate'? Luo Xingchen possessed powerful time-based divine abilities, but time itself is not invincible. His defeat, in my estimation, was not due to Zhong Shan being stronger, but rather Zhong Shan having a specific ability to counter Luo Xingchen!" Qingming Holy Emperor explained.

"Oh?"

"This is the only explanation that makes sense. Otherwise, how could someone who has only been cultivating for thirty years surpass Luo Xingchen? If that were the case, we might as well stop cultivating and wait for Zhong Shan to slaughter us!" Qingming Holy Emperor said.

The hall fell into silence once more. Indeed, Luo Xingchen's defeat was perplexing, and Zhong Shan's capabilities were shrouded in mystery. Only this explanation made sense.

"Speak, what do you propose?" one holy land leader asked, while the others looked on.

Qingming Holy Emperor looked around at everyone and said firmly, "We must use all our resources to assassinate Zhong Shan! With careful planning and preparation, with the element of surprise, and with the elite forces of our sixteen dynasties and twelve holy lands, can we not succeed in assassinating a solitary Zhong Shan?"

Assassination? Some had already guessed, but others were still shocked to hear it.

"Gather fifty celestial experts from our sixteen dynasties and twelve holy lands. It shouldn't be difficult. A forceful ambush by fifty celestial experts—I'm sure that even if Luo Xingchen were alive, he wouldn't survive!" Qingming Holy Emperor said gravely.

Qingming Holy Emperor glanced at everyone and said, "To seize the world from Great Dazhen!"

To seize the world from Great Dazhen? The expressions of the powerful figures changed. Although many had considered this, hearing it aloud was still a tremendous shock.

In the Underworld, within Great Dazhen, Luo Xing Mansion.

Luo Xing Mansion was a luxurious residence built after the battle at the Reincarnation Palace. In Changjing, only a few important people could reside in such a prestigious area.

At a pond within Luo Xing Mansion, a man in a blue robe was fishing leisurely. The man was none other than Luo Xingchen, who had joined Great Dazhen over a decade ago.

As Luo Xingchen fished, a woman prepared a table of delicacies beside him. After finishing, she walked behind Luo Xingchen and gently massaged his shoulders.

"Husband!" the woman said softly, her eyes full of affection.

Luo Xingchen, holding the fishing rod with one hand, patted her hand with the other, "What's wrong, Xiaoqian?"

"It's all my fault!" Xiaoqian said sadly.

"Didn't I tell you? Don't mention the past anymore. Having you is enough for me!" Luo Xingchen replied.

"Yes, but it's a grievance for you. You were once a sect leader, and now you are a guardian of the Holy Court," Xiaoqian said, feeling guilty.

"It's not a grievance. A sect leader? I prefer this life!" Luo Xingchen put down the fishing rod and looked at Xiaoqian earnestly.

Xiaoqian blushed slightly and shook her head, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have lost to the Holy King. You must have been distracted at that time!"

Luo Xingchen shook his head, his expression filled with reminiscence.

"No, the Holy King's power is unfathomable! I am not his match!" Luo Xingchen shook his head.

"But didn't you say the Holy King is only at the Celestial Immortal level? You're an Ancient Immortal; how is that possible?" Chen Xiaoqian frowned.

"You don't understand. Sometimes strength cannot be measured by realm alone. The Holy King is undoubtedly the strongest opponent I have ever faced. I, an Ancient Immortal? Heh, what does that matter? I even used my Time Reversal technique, and the Holy King never once displayed his 'world.' Although I haven't seen it, I can sense the terror of his 'world,'" Luo Xingchen explained, shaking his head.

"Hmm," Chen Xiaoqian nodded.

"Perhaps I neglected your preferences in the past. Rest assured, from now on, I will treat you well!" Luo Xingchen said tenderly.

"Alright," Chen Xiaoqian's eyes filled with tears of emotion.

In a forest within the Reincarnation Domain, Zhong Shan and Wang Ku stood among the trees, gazing at the brilliant light in the distant sky.

A battle, an unprecedented battle, was unfolding. Strong figures filled the sky, blood splattered in all directions. A white figure darted among the numerous powerful figures, bringing flashes of light and harvesting lives.

"Empress Xianxian is indeed a prodigy. In such a short time, her combat experience has become so rich. It won't be long before she no longer needs my protection," Wang Ku said gravely.

"Indeed, you've worked hard over the years," Zhong Shan said.

"It wasn't hard for me, mainly for Empress Xianxian. She has subdued the wolf tribes in the Reincarnation Domain and set everything on the right track. This time it's the Myriad Demon Alliance. Empress Xianxian alone is enough," Wang Ku said solemnly.

"How does Xianxian compare to Emperor Xuanhao?" Zhong Shan asked.

"Empress Xianxian? Her talent is not inferior to Emperor Xuanhao's, and in some aspects, it even surpasses him. However, she still lacks one thing that Emperor Xuanhao had in abundance," Wang Ku said.

"Oh?"

"Fierce pride. Emperor Xuanhao's fierce pride was so immense that it shook the small thousand-world. Empress Xianxian lacks this fierce pride," Wang Ku said, shaking his head.

"That might be related to their upbringing. Xianxian was born sheltered and never needed to fight. Emperor Xuanhao, on the other hand, grew up fighting constantly. That fierce pride was ingrained in him. It was fight or die for him, which shaped who he was. As for Xianxian, I believe she will develop a fierce pride equal to Emperor Xuanhao's in the future. Over the years, I've let her independently subdue the wolf tribes to cultivate this fierce pride. Haven't you noticed that Xianxian has become more decisive?" Zhong Shan said with a smile.

"Indeed, she already has the demeanor of a supreme leader," Wang Ku nodded.

"Yes, Xianxian is on the right track now. Soon, I'll have her lead the elite wolf tribes to subdue more territories, and you won't need to follow her anymore," Zhong Shan said.

"Understood! I can then gather new forces for the Holy King," Wang Ku said solemnly.

"Oh? New forces?" Zhong Shan asked, surprised.

"Yes, in the underworld, there are many skeleton tribes. I can lead them, especially in the Reincarnation Domain, to form a powerful skeleton army for the Holy King. This army can help expand the territory of Great Dazhen," Wang Ku said.

"Good! That will be a fitting title for you as the commander of the Ninth Legion," Zhong Shan said, satisfied.

"Yes!" Wang Ku replied.

Zhong Shan returned to Changjing.

"Report to the Holy King, there are visitors in Changjing requesting an audience with you. They are three familiar faces!" Yi Yan said, looking at Zhong Shan curiously.

"Oh? Who?" Zhong Shan asked, slightly surprised.

"Gui Shou, Ao Lie, and Yin Shatian!" Yi Yan replied with a puzzled expression.

Gui Shou, the former supreme leader of the Xuanwu clan in the small thousand-world, was forced by Zhong Shan to undergo tribulation and ascend to the great thousand-world.

Ao Lie, the former Dragon Clan Supreme of the Small Thousand World, was forced to ascend by Emperor Xuanhao. However, he led a group of powerful beings from the Great Thousand World back into the Small Thousand World to seize the Dragon Clan's ancestral seal. Unfortunately, the powerful beings were killed by Xuan Yuan, the Yin Clan, and Bai Qi of the Great Qin. Only Ao Lie survived, and he later disappeared.

Yin Shatian, the former Tiger Clan Crown Prince of the Small Thousand World, once followed Da Luo Heavenly Court's King Xuan. Unfortunately, after King Xuan's death, it was rumored that Yin Shatian also died. However, he has now mysteriously appeared in Changjing.

"They have finally arrived?" Zhong Shan smiled.

"Huh?" Yi Yan looked puzzled. The Holy King knew they were coming?

"Let them in!" Zhong Shan commanded.

"Yes!"

Soon, the three were brought in.

"Gui Shou, Ao Lie, Yin Shatian, pay respects to the Holy King. May the Holy King's blessings be as eternal as the heavens!" The three greeted respectfully.

Their respectful greeting puzzled Yi Yan. This kind of reverence was usually reserved for Great Dazhen's officials.

"Have you thought it through?" Zhong Shan asked.

Gui Shou nodded, "In our last bet with the Holy King, the Holy King won. We abide by the bet and submit to Great Dazhen."

"Ao Lie has no place to call home. In the past, the Holy King did not abandon me, and we made a bet. Ao Lie is willing to serve the Holy King loyally!" Ao Lie also responded respectfully.

"Yin Shatian, at the Holy King's command!" Yin Shatian said respectfully.

Watching the three, Yi Yan frowned. Another bet? It seemed he had also joined Great Dazhen after a bet with the Holy King, which the Holy King won.

When had the Holy King made bets with these three?

How many secrets did the Holy King have?

Yi Yan's eyes showed respect and admiration.

"Good. I have been waiting for the three of you for over thirty years! You are not mere soldiers; from today on, Gui Shou will resume his position as the Supreme of the Xuanwu Clan in Great Dazhen," Zhong Shan said.

"Understood!" Gui Shou responded immediately.

"Ao Lie, you will resume your position as the Supreme of the Dragon Clan in Great Dazhen," Zhong Shan said solemnly.

"Understood!"

"Yin Shatian, you will be the Supreme of the Tiger Clan in the underworld, commanding the Tiger Clan in Great Dazhen," Zhong Shan said solemnly.

"Understood!"

"Your residences will be in the Four Symbols Garden. I have instructed Phoenix Clan Supreme Wu Luo to assist you in familiarizing yourselves with everything. She will also teach you the Four Symbols Formation. Lead your respective clans well!" Zhong Shan commanded.

"Yes!" the three responded.

Soon, the three were led away to the Four Symbols Garden.

As they left, Yi Yan sighed, "The Holy King's foresight is unparalleled. I am not his equal!"

"Oh?"

"In the Great Thousand World, the four clans, not being national beasts, must have felt dissatisfied and sluggish. I was about to report to the Holy King that if this continued, the strong members of the four clans might fall apart and leave one after another. But now that the three have arrived, everything has been resolved!"

"Gui Shou and Ao Lie were originally Supremes, their remaining prestige can naturally control their clans. Yin Shatian, as the former Tiger Clan Crown Prince, can have the same effect. As for Wu Luo, she has always followed Wu Jiutian and holds significant influence over the Phoenix Clan. With this, the four clans are settled, and there is no longer any concern about the Four Symbols Formation!" Yi Yan said with admiration.

"Indeed!"

"My strategies were limited to the Small Thousand World, but the Holy King was already planning for the Great Thousand World. I am not his equal!" Yi Yan said.

"Alright, I am well aware of your talents. No need to be humble before me. Sometimes, humility is pride!" Zhong Shan teased.

Yi Yan scratched his nose and smiled wryly.

Great Dazhen's cohesion grew stronger. About ten years passed peacefully. During this time, Great Dazhen did not engage in any major wars, except for one. An empire provoked a city of Great Dazhen over some interests. In two months, that empire was completely annihilated without causing any ripples.

More and more wolf tribes were subdued. Great Dazhen's Dragon Clan, Tiger Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Xuanwu Clan grew stronger. Even a skeleton army appeared slowly at the borders of Great Dazhen. Instead of attacking, they joined Great Dazhen.

It was clear to any discerning observer that in these ten years, Great Dazhen's strength had expanded again.

Led by Qingming Holy Emperor, the group of strong figures grew increasingly anxious, unable to find an opportunity to strike against Zhong Shan.

"Holy Emperor, big news! Zhong Shan of Great Dazhen has left Changjing!" A scout reported, kneeling before Qingming Holy Emperor.

"What? Where did he go?" Qingming Holy Emperor asked, delighted.

"To the Reincarnation Palace. Zhong Shan's forces are heading towards the Reincarnation Palace, with few troops accompanying them," the scout reported.

"Reincarnation Palace? Good, the Reincarnation Palace! Such an opportunity must not be missed!" Qingming Holy Emperor immediately stood up.
