Chapter 1998: Chapter 1422: Jade Pillar
Lu Zijing stepped forward again after Su Yuan finished reading the jade scroll, saying eagerly, "Now that the Silver Universe Courtyard is suddenly withdrawing from the Central Continent, there’s a high likelihood they’re brewing something big.
With the war imminent, I implore you both to persuade the various powers of the Blue Sea to come and aid my Dong You Realm!"
A glimmer of spirit light flashed in Su Yuan’s eyes, and he immediately began exchanging divine thoughts with the Green Emperor.
If the situation is as stated in the jade scroll, then the Silver Universe Heaven is indeed planning a major move.
In the conflicts between these two realms, it’s impossible for the Blue Sea to remain completely aloof and indifferent. If Silver Universe wipes out Dong You and then comes for our own realm, it would be too late to act.
However, regardless, Dong You is Dong You, and Blue Sea is Blue Sea. We certainly won’t unite all the Emperor Level forces currently in secluded cultivation to help Dong You at this time—that would be truly foolish.
The divine thought exchange only lasted a moment, and Su Yuan and the Green Emperor quickly made their plans.
The Green Emperor sighed slightly and said, "You have visited my Blue Sea several times, wandering through Great Flame, Qiguang, the Taishang Sect in the Southern Continent, and various sects of the Demon Sky Palace, observing the Emperor Levels of each nation and sect all secluded in cultivation.
If time were generous, we certainly would not stand by and watch Silver Universe Realm act arrogantly without fully assisting in the resistance.
But my Blue Sea went through a world war just over a year ago, and our Yuan Qi has suffered great damage, requiring time to recuperate. At present, we truly have the heart but lack the strength!"
Lu Zijing, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but feel a little heavy-hearted.
Through intelligence gathered from Lin Feng and others, Lu Zijing knew that Blue Sea Realm, jointly with Grey Realm, had launched a surprise attack on Cangding Middle Continent, achieving great victory with minimal casualties, hardly at the stage of great damage to Yuan Qi...
But knowing is one thing, and speaking out, risking offense, is another.
After all, while Yuan Qi hasn’t been severely damaged, the Blue Sea does indeed need time to enhance its strength.
Yet, Dong You truly can’t wait any longer; Silver Universe Court is like a sword hanging overhead, ready to drop at any moment!
Lu Zijing deeply inhaled, bowed again, and said, "Lord Green Emperor, I am aware that the Blue Sea Realm has indeed suffered considerable Yuan Qi damage, yet if Dong You weren’t at a life-and-death juncture, I wouldn’t have the audacity to come seeking assistance for the third time."
My words are clumsy, my strength limited; normally, I prefer leisurely wandering and dabbling in the Talisman Path. This time, I did not expect the alliance to entrust such a critical task to someone as insignificant as myself."
Ultimately, I feel the reason lies in my sincerity.
This time, I ask you both, my fellow Daoists, can you lend a hand, and what price must my Dong You pay...please do not hesitate to state your case. Whatever Dong You Realm can fulfill, we will strive to satisfy!"
The Green Emperor and Su Yuan, seeing this, also returned the gesture.
The Green Emperor said, "Daoist Lu is indeed sincere and heartfelt, earning our admiration. Even without discussing circumstances or benefits, it would be improper for us to avoid assisting, given your triple visits to Great Flame..."
Lu Zijing’s eyes immediately filled with a bit of surprise, waiting quietly for the words to follow.
The Green Emperor continued, "Our Great Flame is merely one of the various forces within the Blue Sea Realm. How other nations and sects may react, we cannot control, but our Great Flame is willing to lend Dong You Realm a helping hand."
Lu Zijing said, "The Green Emperor means..."
Su Yuan took over, smiling, "How about I accompany Daoist Lu to Dong You Realm?"
Lu Zijing paused, looking at the two, "Just Lord Yu Huang alone...?"
Su Yuan nodded slightly, "The Spirit Emperor and the Red Emperor are also in seclusion. I just happen to have some time."
"This, this..."
The expectation that had only just risen in Lu Zijing’s heart seemed to fall back into void, and he couldn’t help but smile wryly, shaking his head.
"The various factions of the Blue Sea hold Lord Yu Huang in high esteem. I am aware that Lord Yu Huang is undoubtedly extraordinary, but I’m afraid the situation in Dong You Realm cannot be altered by a single individual."
Lu Zijing sighed inwardly. No matter how strong a person is, Silver Universe Heaven’s Sixteen Celestial Palaces all consist of True Domain masters, and most possess Divine Artifacts!
Even if we had another Master Cang Yuan, it would hardly change the situation.
And the expectation within the realm for the envoy to the Blue Sea Realm is at least to bring back more combat power than the Emperor Level gathered thus far.
Only one person, naturally, is far from adequate.
The Green Emperor smiled slightly and said, "Others might not be of much use, but Lord Yu Huang alone is worth thousands of troops."
Lu Zijing shook his head inwardly, aware that the Blue Sea, united with the Grey Realm, had defeated Cangding Realm against the odds, certainly full of confidence at the moment, but they hadn’t seen firsthand the might of Silver Universe Heaven...
Su Yuan and Green Emperor looked at Lu Zijing’s bitter expression, naturally understanding his thoughts.
Su Yuan said, "I will accompany Daoist Lu to Dong You, and though my strength may be secondary, there are two things to focus on.
First, I can observe the situation in Dong You Realm closely, and after documenting it, I can better persuade the various factions to come forward and support.
Second, I have some proficiency in the Array Path and, if needed, may be able to set up a cross-border transmission barrier directly in Dong You, facilitating travel.
When the Silver Universe Heaven makes a move, Blue Sea’s support wouldn’t be delayed!
Lu Zijing, upon hearing this, brightened in surprise, "A cross-border transmission array? Lord Yu Huang possesses such skill!"
The Green Emperor laughed, "For Lord Yu Huang, it’s nothing. It’s also the key to why we managed to launch a surprise attack on Cangding."
Lu Zijing nodded slightly, looking at Su Yuan before him, his mind racing in thought.
Though it was impossible to secure more reinforcements this time, it was not without gain.
Not only did we bring back the acclaimed master of the various forces within the Blue Sea Realm, but if this master truly sets up a cross-border transmission array, it naturally demonstrates a stance.
