Chapter 2369: Plane Prototype

“I still need to think carefully about this matter.”

As the City Lord of West Continent City, Tang Ming has always been a symbol of resistance against invaders in the Taoyuan World.

Leading an invasion into other planes certainly conflicts with his Dao heart.

“I understand your thoughts, City Lord Tang Ming. The people of the Tang Family, whether guarding Taoyuan World or guarding the Immortal Mountain, are the guardians of the plane, so you don’t want to be an invader. Correct?”

Guo Cunhou smiled at Tang Ming and then asked.

Tang Ming nodded: “Yes, if I act that way, it could damage my Dao heart. To be honest, my recent progress in strength has been very slow.”

“That should be related to your avatar. You are an Immortal Doctor, you should be very clear about this.”

Guo Cunhou looked at Tang Ming.

Tang Ming nodded: “That’s right, dividing my soul indeed affects my attacks. But if my Dao heart is affected, it might make my strength even worse.”

“But we always need a backup plan, City Lord. Without a backup, everyone in Taoyuan World is doomed to die, is it not?”

Guo Cunhou shook his head and then said.

“A backup plan?”

Tang Ming fell silent and after a long time, he nodded.

“As long as you allow it, City Lord. In fact, this matter has been under research and exploration by Mountain Ghost Granny and others all along. Here, Ying Chou and Lu Gou, along with Lu Gou’s disciple, share this intention. Recently, Ying Chou has been over in the Demon Origin Mountain range.”

Guo Cunhou briefly reported to Tang Ming.

Tang Ming was taken aback and then said: “Has that guy Ying Chou been there all along? My true self will soon return to West Continent City. Let him report the situation there.”

Hearing Tang Ming’s words, Guo Cunhou nodded with a smile.

In fact, the plan to invade other planes has always been in Guo Cunhou’s mind.

Invading other planes might indeed encounter resistance and attacks from the other side.

However, there are also some peaceful methods that can enable people from two planes to coexist peacefully.

Guo Cunhou had previously done a detailed investigation of other planes. Taoyuan World’s rejection of people from the Demon Abyss and Blood God Plane is mainly because they come to Taoyuan World harboring hostility.

The law of the planes is a very sensitive existence; if you harbor hostility towards it, it will naturally be full of hostility towards you.

Conversely, if West Continent City appears as an ally, bringing resources to another plane and then joining with that plane,

that plane will surely accept West Continent City because West Continent City is beneficial to it.

This matter had always been a hypothesis; Guo Cunhou discussed it thoroughly with the old Prophet and Mountain Ghost Granny for a long time.

Until Tang Ming informed Guo Cunhou that the people of the Twin Clan had already been accepted by the Taoyuan World.

This made Guo Cunhou even more confident in his ideas.

“We’re returning to West Continent City tomorrow.”

Tang Ming pushed open the door and smiled at Hu Mei’er sitting in the yard.

Hu Mei’er stood up: “All the discussions are complete?”

“Yes. Mei’er, tell me, if one day the Taoyuan World faces destruction and we have to invade other planes to find a way out, should we coexist and resist the invaders, or enter another plane to seek survival?”

Tang Ming glanced at Hu Mei’er and then said.

“You’re talking about the Abyss, aren’t you?”

Hu Mei’er was initially stunned, then her expression dimmed.

Hu Mei’er possesses half of the Abyss Demon’s bloodline, and she also learned from Tang Ming that the main reason for the Abyss Demons’ invasion of other planes is that the Abyss Demons have been cursed.

The Abyss Plane is also on the verge of collapse.

The Qiankun Nine Palace Realm is becoming increasingly powerful, which has also become a deadly poison for the Abyss.

Tang Ming is even speculating that the reason the Immortal Mountain was destroyed is largely due to the rapid development of the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm.

If Jiutou Goose Deer knew Tang Ming’s thoughts, he would definitely laugh. The development of the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm is indeed the last straw that broke the back of the Abyss.

The Abyss today is no longer inhabitable, which is why the Demons of the Abyss have no leisure time to attack the Taoyuan World but have instead made desperate efforts to attack the Immortal Mountain.

“Yes, but also no. The Abyss has now occupied the Immortal Mountain. The Tang Family has left the Immortal Mountain. The Abyss’s next target is surely the Taoyuan World.”

Tang Ming looked at Hu Mei’er with a complex expression in his eyes.

Hu Mei’er’s mother holds a high status in the Abyss Demon Realm. If the Abyss truly occupies the Taoyuan World, and her mother remembers the past sentiments, she should be safe.

Even the entire Fox Spirit Mountain Range fox clan might be safe.

However, due to past events, the Fox Spirit Mountain Range harbors deep grudges against the Abyss Demons, so it’s genuinely hard to say which side the Demon Foxes of the Fox Spirit Mountain Range will choose.

After all, both Fox Bachang and Hu Sanqiu are figures akin to heroes; they will stop at nothing for survival.

“I understand, Tang Ming. I will stand by your side, live and die with you.”

Hu Mei’er smiled at Tang Ming.

“She means it, bring her to the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm.”

The voice of Jiutou Goose Deer echoed in Tang Ming’s mind.

Tang Ming was stunned; his pupils constricted: “Impossible. I still remember the incident when the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod controlled Gehou. Mei’er is my wife, I can’t allow her to fall under your control.”

“I know, the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm has undergone a new transformation. In fact, the moment the Abyss occupied the Immortal Mountain, the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm was, to a certain extent, completely liberated.”

Jiutou Goose Deer sighed deeply, uncertain whether he was reminiscing about the Abyss Realm or expressing emotion for the rebirth of the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm.

“You mean? The Qiankun Nine Palace Realm inside the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod has become its own world?”

Tang Ming’s voice grew excited.

If the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm indeed possesses such capabilities, it would undoubtedly be excellent news for Tang Ming.

Should the Demon Abyss invade the Taoyuan World, at the very least, Tang Ming would be able to provide the people of Taoyuan World a sanctuary.

“Yes, it has already become a prototype of a plane, but it’s not yet complete. There are still many things needed to be collected and added. Do you know what the greatest advantage of the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm is now?”

The laughter of Jiutou Goose Deer resonated in Tang Ming’s mind.

“You tell me, I’m listening.”

Of course, Tang Ming didn’t know what the advantage of the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm was, so he simply asked directly.

Jiutou Goose Deer laughed triumphantly: “It’s the passage; except for the owner of the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod, no one else can open the passage to the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm.”

“Oh? What about when the Qiankun Nine Palace Realm becomes complete in the future?”
