Chapter 749: Chapter 75: Zhou Xun: Master Yun Ku, Celestial Monarch Yun Ku? (Part 2)

"It seems you have already touched upon that step, congratulations, congratulations!" The elder looked at True Monarch Yama in front of him, unable to suppress his amazement.

"Barely touched. Whether I can truly step forward is still unknown!" True Monarch Yama replied humbly.

If those cultivators below were to witness this scene, they would be astounded. The always majestic and domineering True Monarch Yama,

when has he ever shown this side of himself?

As for the beautiful woman, she showed a look of appreciation,

"Congratulations, Brother Yun. It seems that your Human Race may have another pillar in the future!"

"Hahaha, Madam Jin, you overpraise him. Whether he can truly emerge depends on his fate!" The elder smiled slightly.

However, his tone did not lack praise, obviously having great confidence in True Monarch Yama.

At this moment, the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor and others also approached them,

and they came before the beautiful woman, bowed low, and addressed her as "Ancestor!"

The beautiful woman merely nodded slightly, then spoke to the elder:

"Since they have arrived, let us discuss the matter between the two races, including how to divide the Land of the South Sea!"

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Yama immediately showed some reluctance and retorted:

"Divide?"

"Elder Jin, forgive the disrespect of this junior,"

"This Land of the South Sea is already the territory of our Human Race, why speak of division?"

"Yu Daniu, insolent, how dare you be disrespectful to the Ancestor!" The Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor instantly grew angry and shouted.

"Am I wrong in what I said? This Land of the South Sea has been home to our Human Race, it already is our territory,"

"why speak of division?"

"Both Celestial Monarchs have come today, likely to mediate the war. If so, why don’t both of our races cease fighting and withdraw our troops?"

"As for the boundaries of our races, they have long been defined, no need to discuss further!"

True Monarch Yama spoke slowly.

"I find Daniu’s suggestion reasonable. Madam Jin, what do you think?" Celestial Monarch Yun Ku smiled slightly and spoke to the beautiful woman opposite.

"You and I, as Divinity Transformation cultivators, should not meddle in mortal affairs. Now that hostilities have ceased, let them handle the details themselves." Madam Jin did not directly respond, but instead phrased her response differently.

From his words, it was clear she was dissatisfied with True Monarch Yama’s statement.

Hearing this, Celestial Monarch Yun Ku merely smiled and did not continue the conversation.

However, the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor listened, his face full of anger, couldn’t help but speak out:

"Yu Daniu, you insist that the South Sea is the territory of your Human Race, but ten thousand years ago, this land was clearly our Demon Race’s, only to be forcefully occupied by your Human Race!"

"We’ve never acknowledged it as your territory!"

"Our Demon Race has prepared for a thousand years to reclaim the South Sea..."

Before the words were finished, he had already enraged the nearby True Monarch Celestial One, who, although the leader of the Righteous Alliance, had an exceptionally fiery temperament!

"Nonsense, Jin Mang!"

"Not an inch of the South Sea will be ceded by our Human Race. If you refuse, then let us battle, and see whether your Demon Race is stronger or our Human Race is superior!"

"If you truly have the ability, defeat us and drive us out of the South Sea!"

"If not, withdraw your troops early, rather than wasting words here!"

"Fine, fine, fine. If you want to fight, then so be it. Why would I, Jin Mang, fear you? Why would our Demon Race fear you?" The Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor was enraged to the point of conjuring True Flame.

"It seems that even if ceasefire is declared, none of the warriors are willing!" Celestial Monarch Yun Ku observed with a smile.

He then straightened his expression and continued:

"Logically, us Divinity Transformation cultivators have long abstained from involving ourselves in mortal matters!"

"But times have changed!"

The tone paused, and Celestial Monarch Yun Ku spoke of a matter that astonished everyone present.

"With your knowledge, you must have heard of the Ghost Realm?"

"Also know of the event six thousand years ago when the Ghost Realm invaded our Human Realm. In response to their invasion at that time,

"thirteen Divinity Transformation cultivators from our Human Realm joined forces, paying a tremendous price, sealing their cross-realm passage to our race!"

"Yet now, after thousands of years!"

"The original seal has weakened, and due to our unawareness, they have broken the seal and reopened the passage!"

"At present, the situation may lead to a war between the two realms!"

"In the West Desert Cultivation Realm, over half the area has been occupied by ghostly beings, transforming into the Ghost Realm!"

"Madam Jin and I have come here,"

"firstly to mediate the war, and secondly to summon an army to confront the Ghost Race in the West Desert Cultivation Realm!"

"Compared to the survival of the Human Realm, the conflict between your two races is trivial, it’s best to resolve it quickly!"

"With millions of cultivators between your two races, if wasted in a pointless internal conflict, wouldn’t it benefit the Ghost Realm!"

"You should all deliberate and resolve it through negotiation!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into silence.

They were all shaken by this news.

A war between two realms, something they have never experienced!

Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch, despite using top-grade Life-Extending Pill and some advanced health-preserving secret techniques, is extremely limited to two thousand years of life,

how could they have witnessed such a situation,

yet they are top-tier in the Human Realm, knowing many secrets,

the war six thousand years ago was a tremendous sacrifice for the Human Realm!

One-third of Divinity Transformation cultivators perished!

As for Nascent Soul and Core Formation, countless more!

To seal the passage to the Ghost Realm, five major cultivation realms fell into decline!

For example, the Eastern Wilderness where Zhou Xun was born, was one such sacrifice,

the West Desert too,

yet now, such a war erupts again!

"Brother Yun’s words align with my view; you are all elites of my Human Realm, and in the future, the backbone against the Ghost Realm, do not fall into internal conflict and attrition!"

The beautiful woman then also spoke at this time.

"But..."

"Ancestor...Would our Demon Race’s millennium of planning all be for naught?" The Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor was unwilling.

"If Daoist Jin is still dissatisfied, how about we settle this with a wagered duel as a substitute for the decisive battle!" At that moment, True Monarch Yama spoke.

"Fine, as you say, we will duel. If I win, your Human Race will withdraw from the South Sea, if I lose, we will retreat!" The Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor said.

"Haha, Daoist Jin is quite cunning. If we lose, the entire South Sea is forfeit, but if we win, there’s no benefit. How is this negotiation fair?"

True Monarch Celestial One chuckled.

"How do you propose?" The Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor did not rebut but coldly huffed in response.

"Naturally, you must give up equivalent territory!" True Monarch Yama replied flatly.

"You!" The Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor frowned and communicated telepathically with the South Abyss Demon Emperor behind him, deliberating for a long while, finally agreeing:

"Fine, as you say!"

"If your Human Race wins, the boundaries between the two races will move back three million miles, is that satisfactory?"

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Yama exchanged a glance with True Monarch Celestial One, nodding slightly.

Thus, a third of the South Abyss Demon Race’s territory would belong to the Human Race, and more importantly, within this area,

there are six or seven islands possessing Tier Four Spirit Veins.

Compared to the current South Sea, it is much more prosperous.

"Fine, as you say!" True Monarch Yama nodded and said,

"However, since we are both top of our races and will need to fight against the Ghost Realm in the future, it is unsuitable for us to compete,"

"Let us select five Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators from our descendants to take turns battling!"

"The last one standing on the platform will be the victor!"

"If your Demon Race stands last, this battle is yours, if our Human Race stands last, then it’s a victory for our Human Race, how about that?"

True Monarch Yama proposed.

"Fine, as you say!" The Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor’s eyes glinted with a cold smile.

Now in their Flood Dragon Ancestral Land, there is a Purple Flood Dragon whose talent surpasses even his own. If they can bring him here,

the Land of the South Sea will return to the command of the Demon Race!

Subsequently, under the witness of Celestial Monarch Yun Ku and Madam Jin, they agreed on the details of the duel.

Both sides decided to comply a month later, outside the Sea Suppression Immortal City, to conduct a duel on a platform, each deploying five Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators,

for the winner to hold the platform, while the vanquished retreats, until all members of one side are defeated!
