Chapter 128: Moro Xuan’s Ambition

Moro Xuan’s expression darkened as he withdrew his consciousness from the shattered divination formation.

"That insignificant human actually dared to probe this Immortal?"

He leaned back against his throne, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The incident itself wasn’t worth his attention.

What troubled him was the uneasiness he had been feeling lately.

Something was wrong.

Moro Xuan had come from the Immortal World to the Mortal World ten years ago.

At the Peak of the Celestial Immortal Realm, he held strength that ordinary cultivators in this world could scarcely imagine.

But the laws of the Mortal World limited how much of his power he could use without drawing the attention of its Dao.

That restriction had forced him to move carefully.

His goal was simple: break the ancient seal, obtain the enormous quantities of human blood qi he needed, and use them to advance to the Immortal King Realm.

Such a plan would have been far more troublesome in the Immortal World, where powerful cultivators were everywhere and his actions would have drawn attention at once.

The Mortal World, by comparison, let him pursue his goal without immediately attracting the eyes of those stronger than himself.

For ten years, he had slowly weakened the seal while hiding his presence.

Recently, he had found a method of hiding himself from the world’s Dao more effectively.

With that obstacle reduced, he could finally speed up his plans.

Moro Xuan tapped his fingers against the armrest.

*I originally planned to break the seal in two weeks.*

His gaze grew colder.

*But something feels wrong. I can’t afford to wait any longer.*

He didn’t know whether someone in the Immortal World had discovered his plans.

The possibility alone was enough to make him rethink his timetable.

He had spent ten years preparing for this.

He would not let unexpected interference ruin everything at the last moment.

Just as he was considering his next move, footsteps sounded outside the throne room.

A towering figure entered and stopped several paces before the throne.

He had dark scales covering his arms and shoulders, and his crimson eyes carried a fierce, ancient aura.

His demonic energy was so powerful that the air around him trembled faintly.

He was Yuan Sha, a Primordial Demon who served Moro Xuan.

Despite his formidable cultivation and his standing among the demons, Yuan Sha bowed respectfully at once.

"My lord, I sensed your aura fluctuate earlier. Has something happened?"

Moro Xuan glanced at him.

"Someone tried to investigate me through the seal."

Yuan Sha’s expression changed.

"Someone from the Mortal World?"

"Most likely."

Moro Xuan did not elaborate.

Yuan Sha understood that his master didn’t want to discuss it further, so he waited for the next instruction.

After a moment, he asked,

"My lord, how much longer must we wait before the seal breaks?"

Moro Xuan looked toward the darkness beyond the palace.

"One week."

Yuan Sha raised his head in surprise.

"One week?"

"Yes. I have decided to speed up the process."

Moro Xuan’s voice was cold and decisive.

"The seal is already weak enough. There is no reason to waste any more time."

Yuan Sha bowed at once.

"Understood, my lord. Shall I tell the other commanders to prepare their forces?"

"Tell them the seal will break in one week. Have the armies make every necessary preparation, but nobody is to act before receiving my order."

His gaze sharpened.

"I will not tolerate anyone disrupting my plans."

"Your subordinate understands."

Yuan Sha bowed deeply and withdrew from the throne room.

Once outside, he summoned several subordinates and passed on Moro Xuan’s instructions.

The message spread quickly through the palace.

Demonic roars echoed through the halls as the demons began gathering their weapons and organizing their armies.

Powerful auras rose across the territory, but none dared move toward the seal without permission.

Moro Xuan remained seated on his throne, his gaze lingering on the darkness beyond the palace.

If someone in the Immortal World had discovered his plans, he would deal with them when the time came.

For now, breaking the seal and taking enough human blood qi to reach the Immortal King Realm mattered more than anything else.

"One week," he murmured.

He had waited ten years for this.

He would not let anything stand in his way now.

Beyond the palace, the demons waited in the dark.

They had endured countless years inside the seal.

Seven more days was nothing.

Inside the grand hall near the Primordial Sealing Ruin, the leaders of the thirty-two major forces had gathered to organize their response to the approaching threat.

Shi Wuheng rose from his seat.

"I nominate Mo Xuehan as our Alliance Master. She has the experience and judgment needed to coordinate our forces, and I believe she is suited to the position."

Feng Jiutian nodded.

"I support the nomination."

Yan Beiming and several other leaders voiced their agreement.

Since they had already decided to form an alliance, appointing someone to coordinate their efforts was a necessary step.

Soon, all thirty-two major forces had accepted the nomination.

Mo Xuehan rose from her seat.

"Since everyone has agreed, I accept the position of Alliance Master. But I expect every force here to cooperate. We cannot let personal interests get in the way of our preparations."

She looked around at the gathered leaders.

"Everyone must organize their available combat forces and report their numbers and cultivation levels to me by tonight. I want to know exactly what strength we can deploy, and how best to coordinate it."

The leaders nodded.

Her tone stayed firm.

"Gu Chenxiao will coordinate the pill masters so we have enough medicinal supplies. Our scouts will watch the area around the seal and report anything unusual at once. Nobody is to approach the seal without authorization."

Gu Chenxiao nodded.

"Leave the medicinal supplies to us. I’ll coordinate with the other pill masters and make sure everyone contributes. We’ll prioritize healing pills, recovery pills, and those that help cultivators keep their strength in long battles."

He paused.

"I’ll oversee the arrangements personally, to make sure we can meet the alliance’s needs."

Mo Xuehan acknowledged him, then turned back to the other leaders.

Feng Jiutian frowned.

"Organizing our forces is one thing. But who decides when we fight? Are we expected to wait for your orders even when a situation demands immediate action?"

The hall went quiet.

It was a fair question.

The leaders represented powerful families and sects, and none of them wanted their forces tied down by needless restrictions.

Mo Xuehan met his gaze without hesitation.

"I will coordinate the alliance’s overall strategy. But that doesn’t mean you must wait for permission to answer every immediate threat. If an emergency arises, act according to the situation and inform the alliance as soon as you can."

She paused.

"But for major operations involving our combined forces, I will make the final decision after weighing the information available."

Feng Jiutian studied her for a moment, then nodded.

"That is acceptable."

"Good," Mo Xuehan said. "Then we begin tonight. Every hour counts now."

Shi Wuheng added his support.

"Clear responsibilities will prevent confusion when the fighting begins."

The other leaders agreed.

With the main arrangements set, they began discussing the practical details of deploying their forces and keeping in contact.

The meeting gradually came to an end as the leaders went to carry out their assigned duties.

The alliance had taken its first real step toward preparing for the coming battle.

Meanwhile, inside the Lin Clan’s territory, Lin Hao sat comfortably in his residence.

The clan had already begun preparing its Immortals for the approaching conflict, and he was satisfied with the arrangements.

A few demons shouldn’t be much trouble.

He took a sip of tea, confident that the Lin Clan’s current strength would be enough.

At that moment, the system’s voice sounded in his mind.

[Host, the seal’s deterioration has accelerated further.]

Lin Hao lowered his teacup.

"What’s happening now?"

[The energy fluctuations coming from the other side have intensified. The seal is struggling to contain the force pressing against it.]

Lin Hao’s expression turned slightly more serious.

"How much time do we have?"

[Based on the current rate of deterioration, the seal may not hold for more than seven days.]

Lin Hao paused.

"Seven days?"

*Things are moving faster than I expected.*

[Host, you seem unusually calm.]

"Panicking won’t make the seal last any longer."

He lifted his teacup again, took a sip, and narrowed his eyes.

"Very well."

The demons could come whenever they wanted.

The Lin Clan would be ready.
