Chapter 751: Chapter 76: New Dojo in the Central Continent, Wangchuan Island?

Aside from his master, True Monarch Qianchuan, Zhou Xun could be said to be the second person to treat him so well.

At this moment, a commotion sounded outside,

and shortly thereafter, Earth Element Beast Feng Chong came in:

"Master, Alliance Leader Yu has sent someone saying there’s an important matter to discuss, and you’re requested to go once!"

"Alright, I understand!" Zhou Xun nodded, lowered his head to instruct Wang Lingfeng a few words, and then went out the door,

heading toward the largest tent on the entire front line.

Along the way, he met True Monarch Nine Swords, and Zhou Xun immediately caught up:

"Daoist Brother Nine Swords!"

"So it’s Daoist Zhou. Today, your defiance against True Monarch Thunder Feather indeed matched the demeanor of a Great Cultivator!"

Seeing Zhou Xun, True Monarch Nine Swords was extremely enthusiastic, smiling and cupping his hands in greeting.

For fellow Daoists with strength, he was always very respectful, not to mention that Zhou Xun also had a connection with Wang Erniu.

Naturally, he was even closer.

"Daoist Brother overpraises, I merely barely fought him to a draw. However, you were able to suppress the Cyan Sky Demon Emperor. If the battle hadn’t ended prematurely,"

"maybe you could have struck him down even!"

As the two chatted idly, they quickly arrived at their destination,

which was the tent of the last meeting, where True Monarch Yama and the three great alliance leaders were already seated at the head.

With a slight nod as a greeting, he then went straight to sit on the thirteenth chair.

Before long, people began to enter one after another,

when there were only five seats left in the tent, True Monarch Yama waved his hand and activated the restriction,

thus preventing others from spying.

Looking at the few empty seats in the venue, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but speculate.

Indeed, the first matter discussed pertained to them.

True Monarch Yama stood up with a heavy expression and began to speak:

"Although the battle stopped for certain reasons, many of our Human Race comrades fell, dying for the battle of our people. We should all remember them!"

"True Monarch Zhengfeng, True Monarch Jiu’an, True Monarch Huangping..." He recited a total of twenty-three names.

Among them, five were fellow Daoists from the last meeting.

After the commemoration, True Monarch Yama spoke about the second matter.

"Second, it concerns this recent battle!"

"The ceasefire is not due to settling with the Demon Race, but because a more important issue has arisen!"

Then, True Monarch Yama revealed the news about the Ghost Realm invasion and the reopening of the interdimensional passage.

"Hence, Celestial Monarch Yun Ku came here to prevent our war with the Demon Race, preserving forces to counter the impending invasion from the Ghost Race!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but be moved,

’Celestial Monarch Yun Ku, the name matches Master Yun Ku!’ Zhou Xun thought to himself, recalling the days at Red Leaf Square.

He remembered the elder’s silhouette that appeared this morning, feeling somewhat familiar,

and an audacious idea arose unbidden,

’Could Master Yun Ku and Celestial Monarch Yun Ku be the same person!’ He thought, but quickly shook his head.

’Impossible!’

’One is an Alchemy Master at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the other is in Divinity Transformation, how could they be the same person!’

He quickly dismissed his ridiculous idea.

Continuing to listen to True Monarch Yama’s explanation:

"Compared to the Demon Race, the Ghost Race is our true formidable enemy!"

"They come not just to drive us out but to change heaven and earth, transforming the Human Realm into a suitable Ghost Realm for them,"

"With such a formidable enemy before us, matters with the Demon Race are naturally insignificant!"

"Hence, after resolving disputes with the Demon Race, we must reorganize our forces to head to the West Desert Cultivation Realm to fight against the Ghost Realm!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but begin to discuss,

their moods becoming heavy.

The Demon Race was just one power within the Human Realm and had already caused so much harm,

now facing another world’s Ghost Race, the casualties would likely be several times as many.

The people present might all fall there too.

It’s important to know that in such an interdimensional war, even those in Divinity Transformation face the danger of falling.

"So the Demon Race will just retreat, and our two races will shake hands and make peace?"

At this point, a middle-aged man in a blue robe spoke in dissatisfaction.

Among the fallen today was his younger brother.

The two depended on each other, advancing to Nascent Soul together, promising to accompany each other to death,

only to find themselves separated by life and death.

How could he not seek revenge for such enmity?

"Of course, it hasn’t stopped, which leads to the third matter I need to discuss with you!"

True Monarch Yama shook his head and continued:

"It concerns our ultimate resolution with the Demon Race!"

"This matter is witnessed and established by Celestial Monarch Yun Ku and Golden Jade Demon Monarch, it’s irrevocable and no room for reneging."

"What kind of method, please instruct us, Alliance Leader!" The middle-aged man upon hearing this, calmed down and cupped his hand in inquiry.

"It will be a tournament!"

"In one month, outside Sea Suppression Immortal City!"

"Both our race and the Demon Race will each send five Early-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators for Magical Combat,"

"The losers exit, the winners continue, until one side is completely out!"

"At that time, both Divinity Transformation experts will personally attend as witnesses to the battle!"

"This not only resolves the dispute between the races but also minimizes casualty risks!"

"More importantly, if we win, the border will continue to extend three million miles into the South Sea!"

True Monarch Yama said slowly.

"In this way, we have the chance to expand our territories, it is an excellent opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, everyone joyously began stirring up.

Expanding territories is an achievement worthy of being recorded in the scripture, and they will all have their names entered!

This is an immense honor indeed!

"Thus, these five persons, we must select them carefully. I suggest we first hold a Magical Combat selection within our Human Race,"

"to find the strongest five, ensuring the highest chance of victory!"

An elder with greying hair proposed.

"Haha, Daoist Feng Yuh, did you forget about True Monarch Wangchuan?"

This remark instantly made many people hit their thighs!

"Indeed, True Monarch Wangchuan is highly skilled, even able to hold his own against a Tier Four High-Grade like Thunder Feather Demon Emperor,"

"making me subconsciously overlook Daoist Zhou’s actual Cultivation, though it remains Early-Stage Nascent Soul!"

"With a Great Cultivator like him in the tournament, it’s hard not to win this battle!"

"Indeed!"

Everyone agreed, the atmosphere became much more relaxed!

At this time, True Monarch Yama cast his gaze toward Zhou Xun, smiled, and said:

"Younger Brother Zhou, now you are the people’s choice, do you wish to represent our Human Race in the fight?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun immediately stood and cupped his hands toward the surroundings:

"Thanks to all of you for having such high regard, Zhou Xun will naturally take on this duty without hesitation!"

In jest, the atmosphere was built up to this point, if he really dared to shy away from the fight, he would instantly offend everyone here.

"With Younger Brother Zhou participating, our victory rate for this battle is at least ninety percent,"

"But this battle requires five people, and they’re sure to send the best among the Low-Grade Demon Emperors!"

"We still need to select four others!"

True Monarch Yama glanced at everyone, speaking.

"This matter is simple, in addition to True Monarch Zhou, True Monarch Tianci is also outstanding, in terms of combat power,"

"Not inferior to the peak of Middle-Stage Nascent Soul!"

"Previously, he has even killed a Middle-Grade Demon Emperor, therefore True Monarch Tianci should naturally hold a spot!"

True Monarch Yama nodded at this, at that moment, True Monarch Tianci was also among the crowd, and so he was asked:

"What does Daoist Ji think?"

"Ji Mou will give it my all!"

Then, the remaining three were selected,

namely, the newly promoted Thunder Cultivator Great Power, True Monarch Thunder Prison.

True Monarch Profound Resonance’s direct disciple, True Monarch Chang’an, Wei Chang’an, who ascended to Nascent Soul with an Immortal Golden Core!

And the Body Refinement reaching Tier Four Middle-Grade, surpassing Qi Refining Cultivation, Buddhist Nascent Soul – Master Kujie!

With the candidates confirmed, True Monarch Yama was very pleased and continued:

"If we win this battle, our Central Continent’s territory will expand by three million miles, the five Daoists will be our Human Race’s heroes, at that time even asking for a Tier Four Spirit Island won’t be impossible!"

Everyone knew that within the newly acquired territory, there are six to seven Tier Four Spirit Islands.

This was especially significant for Zhou Xun.

After all, he originated from the Eastern Wilderness and did not have his own estate in Central Continent.

"When the time comes, you could choose a Tier Four Spirit Island as a new estate, and name it Wangchuan Island!"
