Chapter 448: Ascending to Holy Land
Thirteen Holy Lands!
They seem to be the foundation of the Human Clan, but in reality, they are also under the control of the Evil God Clan.
The Thirteen Holy Lands have only one Longevity Heavenly Venerate in charge, and there can only be one, because the Evil God Clan does not allow a second Longevity Heavenly Venerate to appear in a Holy Land.
It is not just that.
The number of Thirteen Holy Lands is also fixed.
From Emperor Luo Tian's words, Gu Qingfeng truly understood the situation of the Qingmu Immortal Realm.
"In ancient times, it was not only the Thirteen Holy Lands, but it was rumored that when the Human Clan was at its peak, there were thirty-six Holy Lands.
And when the Human Clan was at its weakest, there were only nine Holy Lands.
Later, a Human Clan Emperor defied the heavens to establish the Dao and faced the pressure of the Evil God Clan, and thus was able to create a new Holy Land.
It can be said that the emergence of any new Holy Land is not so easy—"
Sourced directly from MV6LEMP6YR.
Here, Emperor Luo Tian paused, his gaze toward Gu Qingfeng becoming fervent.
Noticing his gaze, the latter said calmly, "You want Xuantian Immortal City to become the Human Clan's fourteenth Holy Land?"
"Exactly!"
Emperor Luo Tian admitted candidly.
"A Holy Land can shelter one billion humans, and the entire Qingmu Immortal Realm has trillions of humans, most of whom struggle to survive.
If Xuantian Immortal City can become the fourteenth Holy Land, it can give humanity a glimmer of hope!"
"You must understand, once this is done, Xuantian Immortal City will inevitably become a target, and any mistake could lead to the city's destruction!"
"I am well aware of this matter!"
Emperor Luo Tian's expression was resolute, with what seemed like a blazing fire in the depths of his eyes.
"With the Evil Gods so powerful and humanity struggling, if all humans were to fear advancing, there would come a day when the Evil God Clan would devour us completely.
In the face of such matters of racial survival, someone has to lead by example and make sacrifices.
If it can be someone else, why not me!"
Upon saying this,
Emperor Luo Tian paused, then bowed deeply to Gu Qingfeng.
"Even though this is my own decision, if the Heavenly Venerate is unwilling, I would not dare to insist!"
Silence!
The air was excessively quiet!
Emperor Luo Tian maintained his bowing posture, as if some invisible pressure was pressing on him, causing this Great Emperor to have faint sweats on his forehead.
However,
Emperor Luo Tian was unafraid.
This was an opportunity for the Human Clan.
If one more billion humans could be protected, there would be one more hope.
After a while.
With a wave of Gu Qingfeng's sleeve, a gentle breeze brushed the face, as if an invisible giant hand lifted Emperor Luo Tian upright.
"Let me ask you, what is your purpose in leading the cultivators of Xuantian Immortal City to the Forbidden Zone of Blood Cang?"
"A Heavenly Venerate of the Human Clan has emerged; we cannot sit idly by, and moreover, Xuantian Immortal City has suffered long at the hands of the Forbidden Zone of Blood Cang. Even if we do not act this time, there will come a day when we fall to the Forbidden Zone of Blood Cang.
If that is the case, why not take a gamble!"
Emperor Luo Tian did not hide anything, directly expressing his thoughts.
"What surprised me, however, is that the Heavenly Venerate has already slain the Master of Blood Cang, leveling the Forbidden Zone, which is something that has never been achieved by any power for thousands of years in the Qingmu Immortal Realm."
As he finished speaking, his gaze toward Gu Qingfeng was filled with admiration.
Slaying the Master of Blood Cang!
Flattening the Forbidden Zone of Blood Cang!
Although Gu Qingfeng did not admit it verbally, Emperor Luo Tian knew clearly that only he could achieve this feat.
The Heavenly Venerates of the Thirteen Holy Lands would never personally act to flatten the Forbidden Zone of Blood Cang.
Not because they couldn't do it, but because they didn't dare to do it.
Once they acted against the Forbidden Zone of Blood Cang, it would undoubtedly anger the other Masters of the Forbidden Zones, and at that time, it would be a disaster for the entire Qingmu Immortal Realm of humans.
"Now that the Forbidden Zone of Blood Cang has been destroyed, it is estimated that the other Masters of Forbidden Zones will not sit idly by?"
"...The Heavenly Venerate speaks correctly!"
Emperor Luo Tian was silent for a while, then nodded.
Once a Forbidden Zone is destroyed,
The other Masters of Forbidden Zones will certainly not ignore it.
In fact,
the only path before Xuantian Immortal City has always been to bring Gu Qingfeng into the city and establish the Xuantian Sacred Land.
If successful, the thirty million humans of Xuantian Immortal City still have a glimmer of hope.
If not,
when the other Masters of Forbidden Zones arrive, the fate of the human Immortal City near the Forbidden Zone of Blood Cang is predictable.
However,
Emperor Luo Tian was not sure if Gu Qingfeng would agree to this matter.
Even if the other party had slain the Master of Blood Cang, with his power as a Longevity Heavenly Venerate, he could easily leave the Qingmu Immortal Realm and head to another Immortal Domain.
For the Masters of the Forbidden Zones of the Evil God Clan to truly kill a Longevity Heavenly Venerate, it's not so easy.
But if he decided to stay, that would be uncertain.
Gu Qingfeng gave Emperor Luo Tian a deep look, then said with his hands behind his back, "Since the matter of Xuantian Immortal City started because of me, then it should naturally end because of me.
Moreover, I am also of the Human Clan, and now that I've achieved the position of Longevity Heavenly Venerate, I cannot sit by and watch humanity decline.
From today forth, Xuantian Immortal City shall be the Human Clan's Fourteenth Holy Land!"
"On behalf of the thirty million humans of Xuantian Immortal City, I thank the Heavenly Venerate!"
Emperor Luo Tian was overwhelmed with joy, and then he held up a seal with both hands respectfully saying:
"My cultivation is too low to lead the Xuantian Sacred Land, so I earnestly request the senior to be the master of Xuantian Sacred Land!"
"Agreed!"
Gu Qingfeng did not decline this time, reaching out to grasp the seal.
He could tell with just one look that this seal was not simple, and in terms of grade, it surpassed ordinary Imperial Weapons, akin to the level of Half-step Creation.
