Chapter 1781: Chapter 847: Breakthrough, Earth Immortal Realm! (Part 2)
This discussion on the Dao lasted for another half month.
Both Chen Yuan and Moluo gained much from it, obtaining some enlightenment.
Chen Yuan and Moluo are now basically on the same level, and only upon reaching a certain realm can one understand some of the doctrines discussed, which is why Lu Chengfeng only gave them pointers back then.
There was no real reason for a discourse on the Dao.
Chen Yuan’s injuries also healed during this discussion, and then he chose to bid farewell, temporarily leaving Spirit Mountain, preparing to seek opportunities.
Moluo didn’t know Chen Yuan’s purpose, but he speculated it might be related to the Life and Death Crossing. As for why he had to go, perhaps only Chen Yuan himself knew.
There was no sorrow in parting, as Chen Yuan would have to return once he obtained his opportunity. Before leaving, he asked Moluo to help resist if the Southern Border or Northern Barbarians acted.
And if he couldn’t do it himself, Moluo would have to help out. Although the Martial Emperor Lu Chengfeng appeared to be on the same side, he wasn’t that close.
Only Moluo was one of the people he truly trusted.
Moluo gladly agreed.
He might be the Buddha of Spirit Mountain now, but he was also the founder of the Taoist Divine Palace and a leader in the future crusade against the Immortal Domain. If the Central Plains were in trouble, he was undoubtedly responsible!
...
...
Western Regions, deep within the desert.
Dust was flying, yellow sand filling the sky. The sandstorm whipped up by the gales stretched endlessly; many martial artists in the Western Regions referred to this place as a forbidden zone, not daring to venture deep into the desert.
Because it’s a place of death!
Even warriors at the Fifth Realm of Yang Transformation had precedents of perishing here.
So, since Chen Yuan entered the desert, the people he encountered were few, and among them, some seeing his distinguished attire wanted to take advantage of him. After all, being a forbidden zone,
it was naturally desolate, but it was also a hiding place for some felons wanted by the thirty-six kingdoms.
Unfortunately, though that person had Core Realm cultivation, he was still obliterated into dust by a mere point from Chen Yuan, completely erased from the world, and others wouldn’t even know how he disappeared.
It wasn’t that Chen Yuan had so much leisure to cleanse evil; it’s just that the opportunity known as Life and Death Crossing wasn’t fixed.
Due to the chaotic void, it would often move.
Chen Yuan sought the place Moluo had previously pointed out, only to find nothing, wasting some time to continue the search.
Of course, during the search, Chen Yuan also maintained contact through the Heavenly Book Treasure; overall, nothing major happened, and it was relatively calm.
Even if this calm was just on the surface, it was a rare occurrence.
Other Daoists, such as Su Ziyue, Jiang He, Yang Huatian, etc., were overwhelmingly congratulating Moluo on his breakthrough to Earth Immortal.
The stronger Moluo became, the more formidable their Taoist Divine Palace would be.
To date, they possess two Earth Immortals, one Demi Immortal, and four Yang God True Monarchs, a level even surpassing the former number one Immortal Sect, Spirit Mountain.
Indeed terrifying.
Moluo also took the opportunity to give them some cultivation guidance, allowing them some enlightenment.
After the congratulations, Chen Yuan asked about the matter of assembling troops. After the Buddha’s fall, and with two Barbarian Gods subdued, only Huang Ji escaped by luck.
Chen Yuan instructed Jiang He and others to prepare for a northern expedition after returning.
The matter with Japan had been resolved, and the Western Regions were also under control, leaving only the Northern Barbarians and Southern Border demons. Comparatively, the Northern Barbarians were easier to deal with.
Once he eliminated Huang Ji and defeated the Northern Barbarian Prairie, he could focus on marching south to eradicate demons, continuing the unfinished great achievements of Emperor Taizhong of Great Chu, to completely annihilate the demon race.
This way, he could accumulate eternal merits, ascend to the position of Human Emperor, open the Heavenly Gate, and invade the Immortal Domain!
This was Chen Yuan’s plan for the future, to be implemented step by step.
Jiang He told Chen Yuan that the preparations were underway; now, a total of 400,000 elite troops were gathering and moving towards the Sword Sect Pass in Liangzhou.
All kinds of resources, provisions, and military supplies were ready to be sent to Liangzhou in advance.
In their plan, during the northern expedition, including the remnants of the Beiliang Army, a total of 500,000 elite cavalry would be sent into the grasslands, certain to heavily damage it.
The exotic horses would partly come from Liangzhou, and the rest would be seized from the Northern Barbarian Prairie.
Chen Yuan expressed his approval, having great trust in Jiang He’s capabilities.
Now, with the Great Yan Dynasty not yet established, it was a time for unity and effort; no one would sabotage from behind. With Jiang He and his uncle Chen Huaiyi handling matters, most issues would be resolved for him.
Su Ziyue further informed Chen Yuan that when the decision for a northern expedition circulated, it quickly caused a great stir in the Central Plains, with countless Jianghu martial artists and forces eager to join the army,
preparing to avenge the Central Plains.
However, most were ordered denied by Princess Pingyang.
Chen Yuan repeatedly praised Pingyang for her good judgment.
Were those people really seeking revenge for the Central Plains?
Not necessarily.
If they truly wanted to defend the borders of the Central Plains, they should have gone to guard the Sword Sect Pass in the first place. Although there might be some passionate individuals among them, Chen Yuan believed,
most were preparing to seize opportunities on the grassland, scrambling for resources.
Because the news of the two Barbarian Gods’ demise had spread, many thought going to the grassland this time meant taking things with eyes closed, and then returning prosperous.
How could Chen Yuan allow a few bad apples to ruin the whole pot?
He could mobilize 500,000 elite troops and more than ten Yang God True Monarchs at any time, with no need for those Jianghu martial artists.
Once Chen Yuan returned, it would be the day of the northern expedition.
But just as everyone was excited, Chu Changfeng, having been silent for a long time, informed Chen Yuan that his men had sensed unusual movements in the Southern Border.
Perhaps there would be action soon.
The matters he was previously asked to investigate were also clear, reportedly that the demon race had encountered a once-in-several-hundred-years calamity, burning a thousand miles into ruins.
But now it had passed, freeing up their hands.
He hoped Chen Yuan would plan early so as not to be taken by surprise by the Southern Border’s demons during the northern expedition.
Without much thought, Chen Yuan directly requested Moluo to emerge, to guard the Southern Border for a while. Additionally, it would be best to include Su Ming, the Patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Hall.
With two Immortals present, they could sufficiently protect the Human Race’s Southern Border from falling.
Moluo also understood the importance of the situation, agreeing without hesitation. Now that the Western Regions’ warfare had ended, with the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions paying tribute to a new Buddha, there wouldn’t be any disturbances.
Without external enemies, the Savior Bodhisattva’s Yang God strength was sufficient to guard Spirit Mountain.
Daring no one to entertain other thoughts.
After all, he was still here.
And just having broken through to Earth Immortal, he was eager to find an opponent to test himself.
The fight with that Mo Ying Demon Emperor wasn’t satisfying enough, but this time, he intended to have a proper go to see who was truly superior!
Having made these arrangements, Chen Yuan was completely at ease. He didn’t know how long it would take to break through through opportunities, but it was always wise to prepare in advance.
Finishing the communication, Chen Yuan sped up his search in the depths of the desert.
.....
Thus, three days passed again.
On this day, Chen Yuan appeared in the northwest direction of the desert, where within nearly ten thousand miles, there was no sign of human habitation. Yet, looking ahead at the chaotic void much like Moluo described,
the corners of his mouth finally curled up into a smile.
The Life and Death Crossing and the chaotic void had finally been found!
Without much hesitation, brilliant lights quickly surrounded Chen Yuan, and powerful Martial Divine Rules surged out, forming an invisible protective shield around him.
Then, with a wave of one hand, Chen Yuan directly tore open the chaotic void and walked in.
What was a dead end to ordinary people was to him as tame as a kitten; the chaotic power of rules couldn’t even approach.
It was swiftly obliterated by the Martial Divine Rules, directly forging a path through.

Yesterday was a single update, mainly working on a new book, which, after all, is about to be published next month.
Sorry!
