Chapter 955: Chapter 955: Fortifications Complete, Heading to the Lower Realm

Shen Mo returned to Green Cloud Cave Heaven soon after, and marked a plot of land in the Demon Zone, releasing billions of creatures from Bliss Island.

To prevent mortals from being used by evil cultivators and strong aliens to practice evil magic, he thoughtfully divided the area into two sections... The larger area accommodated mortals, with an environment only slightly worse than the Mountain-River Zone; sustaining billions of people with agriculture or fishing and hunting would be no problem. The smaller area accommodated transcendent beings, and an array prohibition was set up to suppress their cultivation to prevent excessive slaughter and depletion of mining labor.

The task of selection was entrusted by Shen Mo to the Enforcement Hall and the Evil Punishing Hall, with disciples from both halls chosen to carry out this duty.

But because the entire Red Flame Sect was in a frenzy at the time, the progress was rather slow, with only tens of thousands of evil cultivators and aliens fallen to demons being processed each day. They had their crimes clarified, were shackled, had their cultivation sealed, and were sent to different mining veins at Five Dragon Mountain.

At this rate, it would take at least three to four hundred years to handle all the creatures from Bliss Island;

Not to mention affecting the progression of mining activities, by then most of these beings would have died of old age, breeding vast numbers of descendants, making matters even more complicated and troublesome!

Therefore, Shen Mo ordered the Forge Hall of the Hundred Arts Hall to hasten the crafting of a batch of Sin-viewing Mirrors.

This mirror functions similarly to the Bone Viewing Mirror, but with a difference: the Bone Viewing Mirror can reveal mutated Heavenly Demons hidden among cultivators, while the Sin-viewing Mirror can reveal the Resentment Qi of blood crimes on the world’s creatures, used to judge how many people the evil cultivators and aliens have killed and eaten based on the intensity of Resentment Qi, and allocate them to mining caves of varying harshness based on the depth of their crimes!

This greatly accelerated the selection process for the Enforcement Hall and the Evil Punishing Hall, allowing the processing of over a million Bliss Island creatures daily;

Mortal humans need not be mentioned, most of those evil cultivators and aliens who survived on Bliss Island until now are steeped in blood crimes, with higher cultivation realms having heavier Bloody Fiend Resentment Qi, only very few low-class cultivators remained spotless, with relatively pure auras.

For the former, of course, no mercy is needed, all sent to Five Dragon Mountain to mine.

The latter had great fortune, and after being observed for some time and undergoing assessment, they could choose to join the Red Flame Sect or leave Green Cloud Cave Heaven to seek their own path!

After handling this matter, Shen Mo devoted most of his energy to cultivating the Great Dream Enlightenment Sutra, using the Smoke Monster Fearness Venerable, who had been turned into a Demon Soul General, as a cornerstone to construct Dreamland...

Time flew by, years passed.

Several years later, the ten imitation Death Jaws in Green Cloud Cave Heaven were successively completed.

Shen Mo, along with Zhao Lingyin, appeared over the Mountain-River Zone, while in front of each pass, Red Flame Sect disciples were already gathered!

Apart from the largest pass, around 10,000 people stood before each of the remaining nine passes, all meticulously selected from the nine peaks and one lake and the Inner Door, the weakest being late-stage Qi Gathering, with the highest cultivation such as Chen Mengze being Divine Bridge Immortal Masters.

Of the three Deputy Sect Masters of the Red Flame Sect within the Divine Bridge Realm, only Yuan Heming needed to stay at the mountain gate and couldn’t accompany them, Situ Huo and Ming Cang were in the queue.

Additionally, Zhou Zhiwei, Gongsun Jiuru, Yuan Jing, Jiang Lingfeng, Jin Chinian, Xu Liang, Feng Wushuang, Thunder Corpse Master, Li Chouniu, Prince Yongzuo, Ming Yu, Ming Zhu, Gui Wannian, Shen Jun, Jing Fuhai, Lu Ming, Guo Xun, Yao Ting, Jiang Yingying, Yang Chi, Meng Sanchi, Li Chen, Flower Fairy Ami, Qian Xiaofeng, Yu Qingning, Fan Ying and other strong members of both the old and new generations were among the teams.

It could be said that this gathering included most of the Red Flame Sect’s core strength;

If there was any mishap, the sect would immediately decline, like the Dragon-suppressing Sect gradually dwindling into oblivion!

Before Shen Mo and his wife arrived, the three Deputy Sect Masters had already explained the purpose and grand vision of this expedition to everyone. Moreover, through repeated high-level meetings, Shen Mo had previously imprinted his will into the proceedings, so he did not need to speak at length upon arrival.

With a few inspiring words, he and Zhao Lingyin bowed to the more than 90,000 cultivators present, surprising the disciples who hurriedly returned the salute.

Although successfully achieving this mission would benefit the entire sect, Shen Mo’s starting point was to contend with Lord Blue Venerable and help Zhao Lingyin overcome her deadly tribulation; no matter how artfully disguised, it could not completely hide his private motives!

Once Shen Mo straightened up, he summoned up his will and connected with Guan Ling through the phantom of Death Jaw in his Mind Sea.

In an instant.

Terror-inducing auras began to circulate, and an ancient and rustic pass of wood and stone suddenly appeared over the Mountain-River Zone.

This pass stretched over thousands of miles in length and tens of thousands of feet in height, shrouded in a thick white mist, majestic like a heavenly gate, and was the main body of the immortal-level magic treasure, Death Jaw!

However, aside from Shen Mo, Zhao Lingyin, Chen Mengze, Jiang Yingying, and others, the rest of the Red Flame Sect’s disciples were unable to see the manifestation of Death Jaw, only vaguely sensing the presence of something extraordinary descending upon the Mountain-River Zone.

The white mist engulfing Death Jaw roiled, the pass opened, releasing ten streams of colorful light—one large and nine small—which fell upon the ten imitations of Death Jaw in the Mountain-River Zone...

The largest pass filled with immortal light, seemingly coming alive, radiated a profound aura;

Simultaneously, the nine smaller passes along with the Red Flame Sect disciples in front were enveloped in the colorful lights, silently vanishing without a trace!

"Fellow Daoist Qingyun, I can only help you this much. The rest is up to your own creation." Shen Mo and Zhao Lingyin were also engulfed in the immortal light, and before leaving, Guan Ling’s voice reached his ears.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Guan!"

...

When they glimpsed the "future" back then, during those few remaining paths, Shen Mo and Zhao Lingyin’s figures were not seen within the Universal Realm in that future.

To contend with Lord Blue Venerable, they must leave the Immortal Realm...

Even with the entire Universe Tree’s "will of heaven and earth" and numerous True Immortal powerhouses continually stepping forward to block the incursions of relics from the old era, this world has, over countless years, still been riddled with their infiltrations, so much so that even "Senior Guanzhu" had been killed and dismembered by them, and the owner of the blood-stained Taoist robe might have also died at their hands.

In the Universal Realm, Lord Blue Venerable can leverage the majority of her power; unless Shen Mo can attain True Immortal status in a very short time and directly become either a Supreme Heavenly Immortal or a Superior Divine Immortal upon reaching enlightenment, they have no chance of resisting.

But things are different when descending to the remote lower realms.

Lord Blue Venerable’s true form does not reside within this universe world, meaning her power cannot infiltrate every corner, granting Shen Mo a chance to engage with her.

This time, Shen Mo plans to lead 90,000 Red Flame Sect cultivators to the lower realms, to completely occupy nine neighboring worlds in the remote regions of the universe, and to use them as array cores to lay down a shocking array that severs Lord Blue Venerable’s roots of influence!
