Chapter 598: Chapter 236: Blowing Up Seven Sacred Land Masters! The Shift of Smiles! Who Dares to Oppose Now?_2

Standing with his hands behind his back high above the nine heavens, his white garments fluttering, the Primordial Chaos Cauldron diffused rays of primordial Immortal light. It made Han Li appear as if standing in the midst of divine sunlight, draped in a layer of Immortal garments, shrouded in a brilliant divine halo, like a banished Immortal descending to the mortal world, gazing down at all living beings, looking down on all strong contenders.

The Barbarian Lord, Demon Lord, Ancestor of Armies, Female Bodhisattva, Old Daoist of the Sea, and the Demon Lord all turned their gazes to the Daoist Lord, waiting for him to make a decision.

Having witnessed Han Li’s terrifying strength and foundation, the six of them already harbored thoughts of retreat, knowing that continuing the fight would mean they couldn’t overcome Han Li, unless the Daoist Lord was willing to use the ultimate trump card of Bai Yujing.

The rise of Han Li and Chengsheng Mountain was certainly not good for the Great Holy Land Schools like Xumi Mountain, Myriad Demon Mountain, and Penglai Immortal Sect, and it harmed their interests, but it was Bai Yujing that suffered the most serious damage.

As for past grievances, in the face of Han Li’s strength that could potentially overpower everything, those were trivial matters. The Female Bodhisattva, Demon Lord, Old Daoist of the Sea, and others silently swallowed their bitterness and decided to let bygones be bygones.

Now it all depended on the Daoist Lord. If he decided to summon the True Immortal weapon of Bai Yujing, then they would join the fight. In that case, there still might be a chance of turning the tide.

If the Daoist Lord chose not to summon the True Immortal weapon, then they were prepared to disperse, at worst cede some territory and make reparations, conceding some benefits to Han Li to resolve this “misunderstanding.”

Based on their understanding of Han Li, resolving this “misunderstanding” wouldn’t be difficult. Han Li had a fondness for high-quality beautiful female cultivators, and they would just need to send some his way.

With the six Sacred Land Masters staring at him, the pressure suddenly shifted onto the Daoist Lord.

The Daoist Lord could no longer maintain his kindly and benevolent facade, his expression ugly, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, feeling both furious and helpless at the thought of the six dragging their feet.

Faced with Han Li’s intimidation, the Daoist Lord truly wanted to summon the True Immortal weapon, the “Contrary Dao Banner,” and suppress Han Li right here.

But the Daoist Lord was not certain.

He had been communicating with the Artifact Spirit of the Azure Heaven Ruler, asking if bringing out the Contrary Dao Banner could ensure the suppression of Han Li.

The Artifact Spirit of the Azure Heaven Ruler informed him that even if the Contrary Dao Banner took action, it could not suppress Han Li. Whether it could even defeat Han Li was an unknown, and the chances were not high.

Therefore, the Daoist Lord hesitated to make a decision.

Using the True Immortal weapon came with too great a cost. The consumption of Immortal Qi and Immortal Stones was too much for Bai Yujing to bear.

Since the great calamity of the Ancient Era, amidst the internal strife of the Qianyuan Divine Province, when the Human Clan and the Demon Barbarians fought three great wars, Bai Yujing had never resorted to the Contrary Dao Banner. It was not worth it, as the Four Great Sacred Lands joined forces were enough to suppress the Demon Barbarians.

The Demon Barbarian clans also knew that Bai Yujing would not summon the Contrary Dao Banner, which is why they dared to start a war, attempting to swallow some of the Mortal Territory. But all their attempts failed.

In the past 110,000 years, Bai Yujing had only used the Contrary Dao Banner twice.

The first time was shortly after the great calamity, when a Quasi Emperor with a True Immortal weapon attacked, trying to seize the foundation of Bai Yujing.

The second time was 40,000 years ago, when the master of the Western Sky Palace intruded into the Qianyuan Divine Province, wanting to take an Immortal Elixir from Bai Yujing.

The True Immortal weapons of both sides were revived, and after a fierce battle, the master of the Western Sky Palace was forced to retreat unwillingly.

This battle also made all the top forces in the Endless Yuankun Domain understand that Bai Yujing was not to be provoked, so even the most powerful forces showed restraint when dealing with Bai Yujing, not acting recklessly.

Now, Bai Yujing’s foundation had been greatly depleted, and the Contrary Dao Banner was only capable of fully reviving for combat three more times, but this era was just beginning and still had a long way to go.

If today the Contrary Dao Banner were to be revived and could suppress or subdue Han Li, then all would be well. But if not, then Bai Yujing would suffer a great loss, and its vitality would be seriously damaged.

If that happened, they would only have two more opportunities to use the trump card, and they would still have to face the watchful Han Li, as well as those top powers in the Yuankun Domain coveting the foundation of Bai Yujing. Bai Yujing would gradually decline.

The Daoist Lord knew that the master of the Western Sky Palace still coveted the Immortal Elixir of Bai Yujing. According to him, that Immortal Elixir was crucial for his spiritual path, and he could not give it up.

Besides the Western Sky Palace, the great forces of the Endless Yuankun Domain, such as the Heavenly Cult and Tai Shi Mountain, were also eyeing Bai Yujing. They were just lying low, waiting for the right moment.

If they failed to achieve any results after using the Contrary Dao Banner this time, anyone could see that Bai Yujing had weakened. If the majority turned against them, and the Western Sky Palace, the Heavenly Cult, and Tai Shi Mountain secretly joined forces to continuously probe Bai Yujing, then it would be in danger.

After all, the Contrary Dao Banner could only be used twice more, and even considering the stored energy of the Contrary Dao Banner, it could only barely withstand a third confrontation.

After that, Bai Yujing would no longer be able to activate the Contrary Dao Banner. If another powerful enemy attacked, Bai Yujing wouldn’t be able to hold out. Once they couldn’t hold out anymore, Bai Yujing’s destruction wouldn’t be far off.

“`

In the Ancient Era, there were a total of five glorious and thriving powers, one of which was destroyed during the great ancient catastrophe, and another was obliterated sixty thousand years ago.

That power had frequently utilized True Immortal Weapons, and in the end, its foundation was exhausted. Unable to resurrect the True Immortal Weapons, they couldn’t fend off the coveting forces and were mercilessly vanquished, their resources divided amongst the four top powers.

The Dao Lord heaved a silent sigh, looked around, and his gaze swept over the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord, the Barbarian Lord, the female Bodhisattva, the old man of Guanghai, and the Progenitor of Armies, transmitting his voice:

“My fellow leaders, I am willing to summon the Inverse Banner to suppress Han Li. Would you be willing to lend me your support?”

The six Sacred Land Masters’ eyes lit up as they each spoke up, willing to lend a hand if it meant suppressing or killing Han Li; after all, they did not relish the idea of someone else gaining supremacy over them.

“Rest assured, Dao Lord, if you are willing to summon the Inverse Banner, my Barbarian Clan will support you with all our might, and even the Summit of Stars will take action,” the Barbarian Lord stated first.

The events of today were instigated by him as he sought to kill the offspring of Han Li, thereby forging a deep enmity.

“Old Dao Lord, Xumi Mountain will not drag its feet,” the female Bodhisattva spoke second.

The female Bodhisattva was feeling a bit anxious; if they couldn’t suppress or kill Han Li this time, her future would be precarious, especially since Han Li was still mindful of her. Even hiding in Xumi Mountain wouldn’t guarantee her safety.

After the female Bodhisattva, the Demon Lord and the old man of Guanghai also spoke up, indicating they would do their utmost to help.

Myriad Demon Mountain and Penglai Immortal Sect both had Divine Yuan Realm martial emperors abducted by Han Li. Penglai Immortal Sect had also suffered secret losses, including Long Yue and the Seven-Colored Dragon Loach, harboring great resentment.

The Demon Lord and the Progenitor of Armies exchanged a glance before expressing their stance; if the Inverse Banner was summoned, they would not stand idly by.

Although there was no enmity between Han Li, Chengsheng Mountain, Heavenly Demon Hall, and House of Divine Armies, it was about upholding a common interest.

Upon hearing this, the Dao Lord breathed a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across his face as he continued, “Then, I ask my fellow Dao friends to each support the old Dao with two thousand strands of Immortal Qi or Immortal Stones of equivalent value.”

Activating the Inverse Banner once required thirty thousand strands of Immortal Qi. If the six Great Holy Land Schools could provide twelve thousand strands of support, then he was willing to stake eighteen thousand strands of his own Immortal Qi on the gamble.

What the Dao Lord had not expected was that the six Sacred Land Masters, who had previously supported him, now fell silent, each adopting an introspective stance.

“Perhaps it’s better to let it be,” said the old man of Guanghai with a cough, the first to speak up.

The remaining Immortal Qi and Immortal Stones in Penglai Immortal Sect amounted to only about two or three thousand, and he couldn’t possibly commit it all to funding the Dao Lord. Even if they won, Penglai Immortal Sect would be left weakened.

“I think it’s still possible to have a talk with Han Li.”

“Indeed, we all belong to Qianyuan Divine Province; there’s no need to fight and kill when we encounter each other.”

“Xumi Mountain will not participate.”

“Dao Lord, as you know, House of Divine Armies does not have deep reserves and can’t produce such an amount of Immortal Qi or stones.”

“If Han Li wants to be the first in Qianyuan Divine Province, let him have it. It’s all but a vain title.”

Seeing the old man of Guanghai speak up, the Demon Lord, the Barbarian Lord, the female Bodhisattva, the Progenitor of Armies, and the Demon Lord followed suit one by one.

Their wealth was meager compared to the ample resources of Bai Yujing, and they dared not squander it in such a manner.

The Dao Lord’s smile suddenly froze and disappeared.

As everyone knows, a smile doesn’t vanish; it just moves elsewhere.

Sure enough, a faint smile now appeared on Han Li’s face. His cultivation was far superior to that of the Dao Lord, the Demon Lords, the female Bodhisattva, and others. Their Primordial Spirit transmissions couldn’t be concealed from him; Han Li intercepted them all and thus learned of Bai Yujing’s trump cards.

“Dao Lord, do you need me to lend you some?” Han Li asked.
