Chapter 248 Asking for help
When Zhao Mu woke up, he found that the high priest was staring at him with a resentful look on his face.
Ji Zi was laughing secretly on the side.
Zhao Mu asked why, but they refused to tell him.
Zhao Mu didn't think much about it and asked, "Have you deciphered all the information?"
When it came to serious matters, Ji Zi suddenly became serious.
"The situation is a bit complicated right now. To put it simply, the demons have their sights set on a treasure from the Creation Immortal Sect and plan to launch a full-scale attack against them in seven days. This attack on our Divine Phoenix Empire is merely a vanguard of the demons, aiming to alarm the Creation Immortal Sect and cause them to panic."
"But the specific reason for doing this is still unclear. The high priest speculates that the demons may have an undercover agent inside the Creation Immortal Sect and want to disrupt the situation in the Creation Immortal Sect first to create an opportunity for the undercover agent."
"This battle will likely be the largest since the demons invaded the Holy Profound Realm. According to intelligence reports, the demons will deploy a coalition of forces from various factions, led by at least three Demon Emperors. These three Demon Emperors are Demon Sword Princess, Black Kun Demon Lord, and Taotie Demon Lord. Demon Sword Princess is the most powerful of them all, a ninth-rank Saint Emperor and a renowned superpower throughout the entire Demon Spirit Realm."
"I've already passed the information to the Creation Immortal Sect, but for some reason, there seems to be no response from them. I suspect the information may have been intercepted along the way, which further confirms the suspicion that there are demonic undercover agents within the Creation Immortal Sect."
After Ji Zi finished speaking, the high priest recovered.
She hugged Ji Meng, shaking her twin ponytails, and said, "When the gods fight, innocent people suffer. Our Divine Phoenix Empire is too close to the Creation Immortal Gate, and we are also on the route that must be taken to attack the Creation Immortal Gate. If the demon army attacks, we may be implicated. However, it is unrealistic to expect the Creation Immortal Gate to protect us now. Therefore, we must seek external assistance. At least a powerful Divine Emperor must be stationed in the Divine Phoenix Empire to ensure that we can overcome this difficult time."
After saying that, she looked up at Zhao Mu and said, "Don't you have connections in the Spirit Pavilion? Could you ask the Spirit Pavilion to send a Divine Emperor Realm expert to take charge of the Divine Phoenix Empire?"
Is Yaodao Ji going to attack and build the Huaxian Gate?
The previous invasions by the demons were all small-scale. Although they occupied a lot of territory in the Holy Xuan Realm, the population of the Holy Xuan Realm was sparse, and the main population gathering places were around the three holy places. Most of the areas occupied by the demons were uninhabited areas.
But this time it’s different. The demons are going to attack the Creation Immortal Sect, one of the three holy places.
The war has begun to escalate, and things are going to be completely chaotic from now on.
Zhao Mu was a little depressed.
It's a bit unlucky that I encountered this kind of thing just after arriving in the upper realm.
At least let him develop for a while.
It won’t take too long. As long as he is given another year, breaking through to the Divine Emperor realm should not be a problem.
"We can't let the demons succeed."
Once the demons really take down the Creation Gate, all-out war will be inevitable, and the upper realm will immediately fall into dire straits.
This would definitely be disadvantageous to Zhao Mu.
But if the demon attack fails this time, they will inevitably have to recuperate for a period of time, which can buy valuable time for Zhao Mu.
Just asking him to invite a powerful God Emperor to take charge is a bit too much trust in his connections.
It is true that Li Mo is his puppet, but Li Zhen does not have only Li Mo as his son. Instead of relying on Li Mo to persuade Li Zhen, a powerful Divine Emperor, to rule the Divine Phoenix Empire, it would be better to find Li Xiaoxiao. She has just returned home, and Li Zhen feels guilty about her, so he might be more likely to agree to her request.
But in any case, this is the worst option.
As the saying goes, it is easier to invite a god than to send him away. Would Li Zhen take such a big risk to help the Shenhuang Empire without expecting anything in return?
Zhao Mu remembered that Ji Zi had said that she ran away from home because she did not want to join the Wuhun Pavilion.
The Wuhun Pavilion has a bad reputation in the upper realm.
If you owe a favor to the Spirit Pavilion, you will probably have to repay it tenfold or a hundredfold in the future.
But if you don’t choose the Spirit Pavilion, then the only option left is the Heavenly King Palace.
Thinking about his relationship with the Heavenly King Palace, Zhao Mu felt a headache again.
It’s still a long time before the ten-year agreement is fulfilled, and it’s really inappropriate for me to go to the Heavenly King Palace now and ask Immortal Menghua for help.
"Apart from the Wuhun Pavilion, the Heavenly King Palace and the Creation Immortal Sect, are there no other powerful God Emperors in the upper realm?" Zhao Mu asked.
Ji Zi frowned and said, "Yes, there are some, but those few came and went without a trace. I don't know where they are in seclusion. I can't find them even if I want to."
Zhao Mu's mind moved, and he walked out of the house, looking at the starry sky and fell into deep thought.
The starry sky in the upper realm is brighter and clearer than that in the lower realm, and there are more stars that can be seen.
If I were to perform astrology here...
Zhao Mu immediately jumped to the top of the giant paulownia tree, looked up at the sky, and deduced the secrets of heaven.
Among the stars in the sky, the fifteen imperial stars are the most conspicuous.
"These five imperial stars should come from the Heavenly King Palace."
"These three are from the Creation Immortal Sect."
"These four belong to the Wuhun Pavilion."
"The remaining three should be the remaining three God Emperor Realm powerhouses."
"Two of them are so ethereal and hard to see clearly, but this one... is definitely you!"
Zhao Mu turned around and said, "I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he used the technique of shrinking the earth into an inch and disappeared.
This imperial star is located to the east of the Divine Phoenix Empire. Looking at the map, it is a place called Shenluo Valley. According to the map notes, Shenluo Valley was a battlefield in ancient times where hundreds of powerful Divine Emperors had perished.
It sounds incredible, but in fact, there are many places similar to Shenluo Valley in the upper realm.
Although powerful God Emperors are rare, considering that the lifespan of a warrior is limited to 100,000 years, and there have been at least ten God Emperors in the same period of the Holy Xuan Realm throughout the long history, the number of God Emperors who have appeared is definitely not a small number.
The Holy Xuan Realm has existed for at least hundreds of millions of years since historical records began.
If we calculate based on a cycle of 100,000 years, even if there are only five God Emperor Realm powerhouses on average in each generation, the total number of God Emperor Realm powerhouses would exceed several thousand or even tens of thousands.
Even if only one-tenth of the powerful God Emperors could leave some traces after their death, it would still be a considerable number.
While thinking, Zhao Mu had already arrived above Shenluo Valley.
Glancing around, he found that the Shenluo Valley was not as cloudy as he had imagined. Instead, it was a paradise with birds singing and flowers blooming, and pleasant scenery.
The valley is home to many birds and animals, and there are rare treasures everywhere.
But when Zhao Mu was about to enter, he was blocked by a magic barrier.
Without saying a word, Zhao Mu summoned the Sky-Punching Daluo Sword and ordered Ruge to strike with the sword.
With a swish sound, the barrier was torn apart, and Zhao Mu flashed into the valley.
He glanced around and saw a simple wooden house, and flew over immediately.
