Chapter 1247 - 1247: Invitation from the Land of Dao Extinction

Hearing his question, everyone exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.

"Elder Jiang seems a bit unfamiliar with the Land of Dao Extinction!"

"Hahaha, it appears Sect Leader Jiang is deeply mistaken."

"And you underestimate the significance of our Emperor Pill Masters."

"The Land of Dao Extinction is a place where no one dares to make a move against us!"

Through their explanation, Brother Cheng finally understood the reason behind it.

The Land of Dao Extinction is much like the Ancient Immortal Realm of the past, with various sects, noble families, and tribes standing side by side, not a unified formidable force.

It's just that they refuse to be controlled by the Celestial Palace, nor do they wish to associate with the Evil Immortals, so they all happen to reside in the Land of Dao Extinction.

Within the Land of Dao Extinction, conflicts and political maneuvering abound.

Some of those sects and tribes are quite hostile towards the Celestial Palace, while others maintain a good relationship with it.

But in any case, they would not target the Emperor Pill Masters.

The Emperor Pill Masters are a transcendent group.

Although the alchemists in the Land of Dao Extinction belong to different sects and tribes, they are quite cohesive with each other.

Whoever dares to harm an alchemist would face resistance from the entire industry.

Once someone becomes the public enemy of all Emperor Pill Masters, they cannot survive in the Land of Dao Extinction.

"So when we go to the Land of Dao Extinction, we won't encounter any danger."

Liuyuan and Zhengxu and others said proudly, "They actually welcome us quite warmly."

"Every time we visit for exchanges, the sects over there greet us as honored guests!"

Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and agreed.

Emperor Pill Masters aren't skilled in combat, and won't cause any destruction there.

Moreover, maintaining a good relationship with the Emperor Pill Masters could be beneficial in the future, so why not?

"Alright, you all go ahead, I approve." He waved his hand.

"For such minor matters in the future, there's no need to report to me."

Everyone's lips twitched.

"We came to invite you to come with us!"

"Otherwise, why would we all gather here?"

"Me?" Brother Cheng had no plans to leave the Celestial Palace.

"Yes indeed!"

Taiheng Daoist Venerable was full of anticipation.

"Last time, five million years ago, when they came to our Celestial Pill Department for a discussion, we slightly lost, and it was truly humiliating."

"This time, we must win back the face!"

Tian Lin Daoist Venerable stroked his white beard and laughed heartily.

"This time, with Elder Jiang leading, we'll definitely broaden their horizons!"

"Not just broaden their horizons, we'll frighten them, hahaha..."

Hearing this, Brother Cheng became interested.

Apparently, by going there, he could also use alchemy to show off?

"Ahem, your proposal does have some merit."

He pretended to ponder for a moment.

"Since you all are so eager, I might reluctantly consider personally leading the team."

"It's just that, I'm currently not very convenient to leave the Celestial Palace."

The bet with the Evil Immortal Realm still has twenty thousand years left before the deadline.

And according to the agreement, before the bet ends, both he and Yan Yi have to stay in the Celestial Palace.

Sect Leader Jiang, though free to leave, genuinely has a sense of contractual duty.

"You all report it up first and see what those Divine Monarchs and Celestial Emperors think."

On learning that Jiang Cheng wanted to go to the Land of Dao Extinction, the higher-ups were indeed in an uproar.

King Shi, King Lv, King Jing's first reaction was ridiculous.

"Him? Going to participate in the Emperor Pill Masters' discussion congress?"

"Does he really think of himself as an Eighth-Grade Imperial Alchemist?"

"Is he planning to embarrass himself?"

In their eyes, Brother Cheng passing the Immortal Furnace test initially must have been cheating.

They were unaware that he actually had genuine talent and skill.

"The Chief of Celestial Pill Department is unlearned, and still just a Celestial Venerable. Wouldn't this be a disgrace to our Celestial Palace?"

"I don't think we should agree!"

However, Prince Yi had a different opinion.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"Don't forget, the bet with the Evil Immortal Realm only has twenty thousand years left, and that brat hasn't shown any sign of generating a Celestial Heart."

"At this point, I think we need to consider other plans."

King Shi and King Lv's brows furrowed.

"You mean... using the hands of the Land of Dao Extinction to kill him?"

"Exactly!"

"If he gets killed by the sects and tribes over there, we won't bear any responsibility, and the bet becomes a draw."

"But he's going with a group of Emperor Pill Masters. No matter how blind they are, those people won't harm him!"

"They'll even treat him as an honored guest and entertain warmly..."

Thinking of that scene, several Divine Monarchs became enraged.

King Jing spoke slowly, "So we need to create opportunities, ideally separating him from Tian Lin, Taiheng, and others, and also conceal his identity as an Emperor Pill Master as much as possible..."

King Shi clapped his hands heavily.

"Exactly, once he's separated from the Celestial Pill Department, it'll be easier once he acts alone."

Prince Yi gloated, "With his style and knack for causing trouble, I'm willing to bet it won't even take a day for him to become a local enemy!"

"Hahaha, I'm quite confident in him for this!"

King Lv extrapolated further.

"Actually, we can also release false information to mislead the Evil Immortal Realm, perhaps even win the bet."

Other Divine Monarchs questioned eagerly.

"How do you plan?"

"Just spread the word that the brat is still an Immortal Grade Celestial Heart and is heading to the Land of Dao Extinction."

King Lv elaborated enthusiastically.

"The Evil Immortal Realm won't sit idly, they're highly likely to send someone to assassinate him secretly!"

"And we can keep a close watch, just waiting to catch them red-handed."

Everyone realized.

"If the Evil Immortal Realm takes action and kills him, the bet's directly in our favor!"

"Right, let's proceed with this plan!"

They quickly concocted detailed plans.

And Brother Cheng remained in the dark.

Actually, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, and might even look forward to it.

With a system hack in hand, any killing plot is just fleeting clouds, only adding to his spoils of war.

After learning that Jiang Cheng was heading to the Land of Dao Extinction, news from the Evil Immortal Realm also arrived, requesting that Yan Yi accompany him.

To this, the Celestial Palace had no objections.

Anyway, after all these years, they still hadn't been able to enlighten this Wolf Girl.

The higher-ups had no hopes any longer.

A few days later, Jiang Cheng, along with Yan Yi and the Three-Eyed Tiger, embarked on the journey to the Land of Dao Extinction.

Accompanying them were three Daoist Venerables sent by the higher-ups.

They were Qi Wu Daoist Venerable from the Celestial Separation Army, Qian Yan Daoist Venerable from the Law Enforcement Department, and Brother Cheng's old acquaintance, Fan Lei Daoist Venerable.

These three individuals were carefully chosen.

Qi Wu Daoist Venerable's superiors from the Celestial Separation Army were directly under King Jing.

While Qian Yan Daoist Venerable's from the Law Enforcement Department, directly under King Lv.

Both of these were confidants of the Divine Monarchs, briefed before departure, hinted to find a way for Jiang Cheng to die in the Land of Dao Extinction but without taking action themselves.

As for Fan Lei Daoist Venerable, from the higher-ups' perspective, he presumably bore a grudge against Jiang Cheng.

Surely he'd actively work to bring down the brat.
