Chapter 291 - 291 290 Going to Huaguo Mountain

291: Chapter 290 Going to Huaguo Mountain 291: Chapter 290 Going to Huaguo Mountain Only by stirring this clear pond could Ye Xuan gain the greatest benefit.

He not only wanted the Jade Emperor to be mocked by the Three Realms but also wanted to lay a deep foundation for himself and take this important step toward seizing the position of Heavenly Emperor.

Of course, Ye Xuan wasn’t foolish enough to truly exterminate Huaguo Mountain; he had his own plan.

This plan would quickly enhance his cultivation and further solidify his foundation, although it involved great risks.

However, the benefits were also immense.

…

Before the South Heavenly Gate,

Thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals stood firm, with Yellow Turban Strongmen beating the war drums.

Clad in a blue Emperor’s robe, Ye Xuan stood at the forefront while the group of immortals from the Heavenly Court stood on both sides, and even the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother came to see him off.

“Today, Emperor Dongji descends to the Lower Realm to eliminate demons.

I and the group of immortals toast to Emperor Dongji, may Emperor Dongji win a glorious victory and elevate the divine might of our Heavenly Court”, proclaimed the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother as they raised their cups, filled to the brim with jade liquid.

The group of immortals and the Jade Emperor, along with the Queen Mother, drained their cups.

Watching the Jade Emperor’s feigned demeanor, Ye Xuan slightly smiled, drained his cup, casually tossed the cup aside, and without another glance at the Jade Emperor and the group of immortals, mounted a dark cloud and headed straight for the Lower Realm.

Boom, boom, boom!

The war drums thundered, and shouts of war echoed as a golden cloud rose under the feet of the thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals following Ye Xuan toward the Lower Realm.

“Your Majesty, Emperor Dongji’s journey is too dangerous.

Apart from his high cultivation, he has no other Immortal accompanying him.

We implore Your Majesty, we are willing to go to the Lower Realm to lend a hand to Emperor Dongji”, said Zhao Gongming, leading a dozen members of the Jie Sect as they bowed to the Jade Emperor.

“There’s no need for concern, Zhao.

Emperor Dongji’s combat power is unmatched; he certainly won’t face any danger.

As for us, we are in need of capable hands in the Heavenly Court.

You carry significant responsibilities, so you should concentrate on your duties here”, said the Jade Emperor with a cold chuckle, then turned and returned to the Heavenly Court.

The members of the Chan Sect coldly smiled and dispersed as well.

“That Jade Emperor really wants to kill Emperor Dongji.

How could these mere thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals stand a chance against Huaguo Mountain?” said a dark-voiced immortal from the Jie Sect.

“Hmph!”

Watching the receding Jade Emperor, Zhao Gongming coldly said, “The Jade Emperor underestimates Emperor Dongji too much.

Let us quietly observe the developments.”

…

Crossing ten thousand li of fierce wind and fire, they reached the vast expanse of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Under Ye Xuan’s lead, the thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals appeared above the Heavenly Vault.

The war drums resounded thunderously, and the shouts of battle reverberated between Heaven and Earth.

A Divine General stepped forward and bowed to Ye Xuan, saying, “Emperor, if we advance another million li, we’ll reach Huaguo Mountain.

Shall we march straight there and fight our way through?”

“Fight our way through?”

Ye Xuan scoffed at himself, then fixed his peculiar gaze on the Divine General, “Are you mad, or am I mad?

Just thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to fight against hundreds of millions of demon troops, or do you think I alone can take on seventy-two Demon Kings and exterminate hundreds of millions of demon troops on my own?”

“Um…well…!”

The Divine General fell silent, unsure how to reply to Ye Xuan.

“Stop beating the drums, put away your useless show of Heavenly Court’s might.”

As Ye Xuan spoke harshly, the Yellow Turban Strongmen ceased their drumming and the golden light around the thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers dissipated, leaving everyone looking towards Ye Xuan in confusion.

“Remember, I seek elite warriors, not mindless brutes.

Advancing to Huaguo Mountain in this manner, I fear you’d all meet an unmarked grave.”

Ye Xuan was utterly disappointed with these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals; he actually missed the Netherworld he had created in the Human World.

Despite the members of the Netherworld having much lower cultivation compared to these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, when it came to intellect and tactics, they were far superior.

“Emperor, we were ordered to eradicate demons.

If we do not do so, how can we report back to the Heavenly Court?” the Divine General asked, puzzled.

“What is your name?” Ye Xuan asked, furrowing his brows slightly.

“Your Highness, I am Han Guang, under the command of the Earth Shining Star of the Heavenly River’s Water Army, ranked eighth…”

Before the Divine General could finish speaking, Ye Xuan furrowed his brows and interrupted, “I do not care whose subordinate you are.

Starting from now, your only task is to obey my commands.”

“Yes, Emperor,” Han Guang responded, not daring to delay.

“Issue my Dharma Decree, withdraw the weapons, head to Huaguo Mountain.

If you encounter demon soldiers, you must not engage in battle,” Ye Xuan stated calmly.

Ye Xuan’s orders puzzled Han Guang.

Just a moment ago, they were told not to go to Huaguo Mountain, but now they were heading there.

What puzzled Han Guang the most was, if they were not going to eradicate demons, then what were they going to do at Huaguo Mountain?

Han Guang wanted to ask, but when he saw Ye Xuan’s stern gaze, a shiver ran through his body.

He quickly followed Ye Xuan’s instructions, ordering thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to withdraw their weapons and silently followed Ye Xuan towards Huaguo Mountain.

At the same time.

Huaguo Mountain, Shuilian Cave.

Seventy-two Cave Demon Kings were seated here, each bearing a solemn expression on their face, clearly struggling with their opposition to the Heavenly Court.

“Report, great kings, a large number of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals are heading toward Huaguo Mountain,” a leopard-headed little demon rushed in frantically, promptly reporting to the kings.

“Damn it, they dare to come?

I will meet them myself,” said the Snake Demon King.

The Snake Demon King had a pair of inverted triangular eyes, his eyes revealing an intense malevolent hue as they opened and closed.

He reached for his Demon Fork, ready to leave the Shuilian Cave.

“Great King, please don’t be rash.

The one coming this time is the Emperor Dongji from the Heavenly Court,” the little demon reminded with a trembling voice, causing the Snake Demon King to hesitate and stop in his tracks.

Anyone carrying the title of Emperor was of the Daluo Golden Immortal rank, certainly not someone he, a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal, could provoke.

“Emperor Dongji?”

At this moment.

A handsome young man sat high in the center of Shuilian Cave.

His eyes sparkled like lightning, and his temples were covered with white fur.

His voice carried a hint of surprise.

Bai Hong, the foremost Demon King of Huaguo Mountain, whose true form was the Long Armed Ape Monkey, was a Luotian Golden Immortal, an extremely formidable being.

Within the cosmic cycle, there exist five Immortals: Heaven, Earth, Divine, Human, and Ghost.

There are five creatures: Shell, Scale, Fur, Feather, and Bugs.

Additionally, there are Four Monkeys that create havoc: neither from Heaven, nor Earth, nor Divine, nor Human, nor Ghost; neither Shell, Scale, Fur, Feather, nor Bugs—they belong to none of these ten categories.

These Four Monkeys are called the Chaos Monkeys, a truly terrifying breed.

The first is the Intelligent Stone Monkey, master of Transformation, who understands the celestial timing, knows the earthly advantages, and can move stars and change constellations.

The second is the Six-Eared Macaque, skilled in listening, able to discern reasons, knowing the past and the future, with everything being clear to him.

The third is the Long Armed Ape Monkey, who can grab the sun and moon, shrink thousands of mountains, discern fortunes and disasters, and manipulate heaven and earth.

The fourth is the Red Bottomed Horse Monkey, who understands Yin Yang, is adept in human affairs, skilled in entering and exiting, and can avoid death and prolong life.

These Four Monkeys, not belonging to the ten categories, do not fit within the two realms.

Among them, the foremost Demon King of Huaguo Mountain was the Long-Armed Ape Monkey, ranked third among the Chaos Monkeys, and a renowned figure within the Eastern Continent.
