Master Wanxiang said, "Moreover, as far as I know, Wanyue has been suppressed by Luo Xiao over the years. If it weren’t for the Yue Family’s not insignificant strength, she would probably have been removed from her position as Peak Master and demoted to an ordinary elder. In such a situation, if our Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect could give her a glimmer of hope, she would certainly cling to it with all her might."
"It’s easy to add frosting to the cake, but much harder to send charcoal in the snow. We have always had a good relationship with Wanyue Peak Master. If we are willing to lend her a hand at this time, she will surely be grateful."
Taibai Heavenly Immortal spoke, pausing in his tone, "I just fear that by then she might drag the Xuanyuan Sword Sect into this, and then we’ll be left out."
"It’s becoming unrealistic for our Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect to monopolize the Longevity World, so what we need to do now is not to divide the benefits of the Longevity World, but to first secure its benefits for ourselves. Even if the final gains are less than we anticipate, it’s still better than getting nothing at all."
Daoist Xuan Jian nodded in agreement, "A bird in the hand is worth ten in the bush."
"Taibai, you had some contact with Wanyue back in the day, so you will be the one to reach out to her,"
Master Wanxiang said to Taibai Heavenly Immortal, "The people you brought from the Longevity World have calculated three locations that can be used to open space portals. Give them one and let them get to work for us, diverting the attention of the Immortal Country."
Taibai Heavenly Immortal nodded.
At that moment, he seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "With the fall of Immortal Sui Mu, we’ve also lost contact with the world behind those people. Should we restart the probe into that world here in the Profound Immortal Realm?"
"The world behind those people..."
Master Wanxiang frowned slightly, but eventually shook his head, "Forget it. That world doesn’t even have a decent cultivator. It might be even poorer than our own. It’s unlikely there would be much to gain from connecting the two worlds, and right now we don’t have the energy to open up a new battlefield."
Taibai Heavenly Immortal sounded somewhat regretful.
But if it was as that human named Shu Mingyue described, that world indeed didn’t hold much value.
"Perhaps you can use it as a bargaining chip to offer to the Yue Family, after all, since the Xuanyuan Sword Sect closed off their country, people have become more defiant and are now more interested in exploring other worlds," suggested Master Wanxiang.
Taibai Heavenly Immortal nodded.
"As for this place..."
Master Wanxiang looked at the Red Flame Canyon, his expression containing some helplessness, "The roles of attack and defense have reversed, it’s our Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect’s turn to be on the defensive."
The Shu Yue Ming mentioned by Master Wanxiang and the others was the Blue Star person who had escaped the Holy Dynasty and headed to the Immortal Country.
But they were not lucky. Before they could meet the higher-ups of the Immortal Country, they were intercepted by the then Immortal Sui Mu, and were later taken to the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect.
And now, on Blue Star, a world deemed valueless and abandoned by the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, there were still people striving hard.
Xie Yusheng wiped off his sweat fiercely, looking at the huge behemoth in front of him that stood over ten meters tall with disbelief in his eyes.
He couldn’t believe that he had actually managed to create this giant toy, which until recently had only existed on the Design Diagram, within just a few months.
Even though Emperor Taiyi had given him a lot of help during that time and he had solved many difficulties using Emperor Taiyi’s "Co-spirit" power, the feat of constructing a Mecha by hand in a few months still made Xie Yusheng overflow with confidence.
"I really did it, I am too amazing," Xie Yusheng said with a smile, giving himself a thumbs-up.
Looking at this behemoth, the hard work of several months, day and night, seemed worth it.
"So, can it be activated?" Xie Yusheng asked, looking at the "Thunder" type Cheng Ying Mecha.
Was he really going to pilot this Mecha, crafted with months of his labor, to storm into... to probe the vital point guarded by the Star Shining Federation’s three carrier fleets, over a dozen flying squads, and more than two hundred thousand troops?
