Chapter 1280: Convinced

It was the horror of dying. Everyone was afraid to die and had thought about immortality at some point. As an emperor, how could he not have such thoughts?

Yes, it is the pursuit of immortality. Tang Wulin said, I only understood it after what had happened this time.

I believe that Your Majesty is well aware of the Spirit Pagodas history during that period. After all, the Heaven Dou Empire had a similar experience being the predecessor of the Dou Spirit Empire. The final battle was between the Tang Sects Sect Master Tang San and the Martial Soul Halls Hall Master Bi Bidong. Both of them had already achieved the level of Godhood at the time. In the end, Bi Bidong was defeated and his Godhood status was destroyed resulting in his death in the battle. On the other hand, Tang San was elevated to a gods status and gained entry to the Divine Realm.

Xue Yuntian nodded. Yes, theres a detailed recording of this period of history in the royal database.

Tang Wulin spoke, So, Your Majesty must have known that both Tang San and Bi Bidong had both achieved the level of the Divine Realm. How did Bi Bidong, the Martial Soul Halls Hall Master manage to achieve that level? After them, only the Holy Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao achieved a breakthrough to the realm ten thousand years ago. The Spirit Pagoda is already at its peak in the continent, yet they wish to advance a step further. So, their goal is to control the continent, and later, the entire Douluo Planet. Ive thought this over many times, but I cant think of other reasons apart from the objective to attain immortality. I cant figure out the reason thats causing them to act this way, but I believe that they may have a method to achieve their goal for sure.

One more thing I can tell you, Your Majesty. I wonder if Your Majesty has heard of the Douluo Continents Blood God Army, Tang Wulin continued.

Xue Yuntian shook his head slightly confused. Is there such an army in the Douluo Federation? Are they very powerful?

Tang Wulin answered, Very powerful indeed. Theyve been around for more than six thousand years. Your Majesty is unaware of this because theyve been guarding a secret all this time. Theres a spatial passage on the Douluo Continent that links us to another plane. That planes power has even exceeded ours. They launch attacks at us continuously in an attempt to destroy and devour us. The Blood God Army exists precisely to defend us against them. Six thousand years ago, it was formed with the powerhouses from Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, the War God Hall, and the Spirit Pagoda. As the guardian, with many generations of heroes involved, they finally sealed the passage which connected the two planes.

Such a thing exists? Xue Yuntian looked at Tang Wulin with a shocked expression.

Tang Wulin nodded gently. Yes. I need to tell Your Majesty this secret because the abyssal planes threat is growing stronger. Not that the abyss is growing stronger, but some of the forces from our world are collaborating with them. Theyre making use of the abyssal planes destructive powers in our world. These forces are precisely from the Holy Spirit Cult!

In a sense, the Holy Spirit Cult is doing it for its own benefit. They have only one purpose which is the same as the Spirit Pagoda. They wish to be aloof of this world.

Every ten thousand years, someone will transcend into the Divine Realm. According to the cycle, its about time, now. Since the Spirit Pagoda is currently colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult, Ive reason to believe theyre are both pursuing the method of transcending into Godhood. Im afraid the method may lead to the destruction of the entire Douluo Planet.

I wouldnt have figured it out if not for the discovery of the Holy Spirit Cults people inside the Spirit Pagoda. Judging the situation now, its highly possible. The previous violent wave of abyssal tide was defeated by the Blood God Army with painstaking effort. What about the next one? If the Spirit Pagoda is collaborating with the Holy Spirit Cult to release the abyssal plane, we may possibly be annihilated.

At this point, Tang Wulin frowned deeply. Undoubtedly, theyve deviated to the evil path. Were compelled to retreat from the Douluo Continent since Shrek Academy and the Tang Sects headquarters have been destroyed. If war is upon us, theres no doubt that the Holy Spirit Cult would benefit the most. Theyre thirsting to kill as theyre the only ones who will benefit from the death of others. Thus, I have reason to believe that there are people from the Holy Spirit Cult lurking on both the Dou Spirit Continent and the Star Luo Continent for sure.

Hence, the most effective way to stop the war is to stop the Holy Spirit Cult from growing stronger. At the same time, we also hope to collaborate with virtuous forces to guard our homeland.

Xue Yuntian looked at Tang Wulin for he had not uttered any word for a long time.

In fact, he had envisaged many times how Tang Wulin would attempt to persuade him to join forces. He never expected Tang Wulin to speak his mind today.

His elaboration of the abyssal plane was certainly not an off-the-cuff remark as he was the Tang Sects Sect Master. On the other hand, if what he said was true, the Dou Spirit Empire could be completely obliterated at any moment!

The Holy Spirit Cult and the Spirit Pagoda were planning to destroy the entire continent as its stepping stone to achieve their objective. Xue Yuntian felt a chill down his spine as he thought about the matter.

Even though Tang Wulins words were speculative, there was a strong rationale behind them.

Tang Wulins account of why the Spirit Pagoda would make itself more powerful and the reason they would join forces with the Holy Spirit Cult was sufficient to elicit many questions.

He had sent his people to investigate the ruined Spirit Pagodas Dou Spirit Empire headquarters. His people had found a number of items from the ruins which provided a number of clues which lent support to Tang Wulins accusations toward the Spirit Pagoda.

A small group of the Spirit Pagodas members protested against Xue Yuntians investigation. They requested the government to assist their efforts to rebuild the Spirit Pagoda and return their belongings. Xue Yuntian initially agreed, but he was left with no choice except to send his people to seal the scene after the Tang Sect made an official announcement of their involvement in the attack. Xue Yuntian could not return the evidence to the Spirit Pagoda for the time being.

Tang Wulin did not speak anymore but watched the scenic view of the palace as he sat in the shuttle car.

The Dou Spirit Empires palaces design and construction were ingenious as almost every section of it had an exquisite scene. There were airy pavilions and pagodas with flora and fauna among its surroundings. Every location had a distinctive design where the scene could be described as picturesque and idyllic.

Compared to the world of concrete and steel, Tang Wulin enjoyed the feeling of the simple, unsophisticated, and natural surroundings. The refreshing air was especially pleasant.

Xue Yuntians mind was confused. He pondered over what Tang Wulin said many times. He believed in the credibility of Tang Wulin, not to mention the Tang Sects worthy reputation of so many years.

More importantly, after the Spirit Pagodas Dou Spirit Empire headquarters was destroyed, he did not have much of a choice.

The critical point was to ensure that the Dou Spirit Empire could avoid war and continue its legacy. Besides, there were other priorities.

The shuttle car drove for more than ten minutes before it stopped in front of a resplendent palace.

Xue Yuntian took the lead in getting down from the car. Then, on his own initiative, he came over to Tang Wulins side and made an inviting gesture. As the emperor of a kingdom, it was a positive move.

Tang Wulin nodded smilingly. At the very moment when Tang Wulin got down from the car, Xue Yuntian suddenly spoke with determination, Tang Sects Sect Master, Ive decided. I represent our Dou Spirit Empire to express our willingness to work together with the Tang Sect. Youve our total support according to the terms and conditions proposed by you earlier.
