Chapter 1195: Chapter 1194 Great Qian Dynasty vs Great Yu Dynasty

"Lord Controller, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time, and you’ve finally arrived!"

"?"

Can’t you hope for something better for me?

Having Lord Controller’s support is like having a backbone, and Si Lei God Lord finally mustered the courage to retort to Guan Shanhai. He abruptly raised his head, looking down on Guan Shanhai with disdain.

"We merely reduced the influence of the Power of Faith and vanished from sight, hiding in the Fairy Palace. Otherwise, what business would Great Yu have here? You think you’re invincible just because you stir up a few waves."

"Think being an Immortal makes you great?"

Si Chen God Lord even swiftly moved to the side, solemnly introducing the stunned Lord Controller:

"Look, we in Great Qian also have Immortals!"

"This is Lord Controller who grants Divine Monarchs and extensively produces the outlines of Dao Fruits!"

The long-awaited arrival of Lord Controller also reached Captive Peak, and the Great Qian cultivators’ morale soared, staring down the Great Yu Cultivators with straightened spines.

Lord Controller fell into rare contemplation; he had thought about many possible reactions his old subordinates might have upon seeing him, but he never imagined it would be like this.

As if possessed.

Lord Controller gently shook his head; what grant Divine Monarchs or produce outlines of Dao Fruits, those were just old stories, and now they were all trapped. What was the use of arguing about this here?

Guan Shanhai sneered, "Just mass producing outlines of Dao Fruits, and that’s worth mentioning? My Imprinting Dao Fruit can produce outlines of Dao Fruits too, even without the need for the Power of Faith."

"Like it’s some kind of achievement."

"What did you say!" Lord Controller slapped his thigh in anger, pointing at Guan Shanhai. He could say granting Divine Monarchs was an old affair, but others couldn’t say that.

"What, did I speak wrongly?" As an Immortal, Guan Shanhai wasn’t afraid of Lord Controller.

"If the Power of Faith is so great, would you sit idly by in the Fairy Palace while watching Great Qian fall?"

"Founding a nation on the faith of a divine path, I see your Great Qian is nothing more."

Lord Controller spoke mockingly, "And what about your Great Yu? Establishing an Imperial Teacher regime, only the first two were somewhat useful. After that, every Imperial Teacher was entangled in palace intrigues with the Emperor. Was your demise any slower than ours?"

"In the end, our Great Qian had a wise ruler, Gods stood in great numbers, received offerings of incense, each with their own duties, and the nation was strong; the Demon Territory, East Sea, and the world came to pay homage. What right does Great Yu have to compare to us?"

Guan Shanhai slowly rose to his feet, his eyes deepening, as if he was back to the time when he first established the Great Yu Dynasty.

"Utterly ridiculous. Our Great Yu Dynasty ended the chaos of war in the Central Continent, deterred the small factions of the Demon Race from invading, conquered all opponents along the way, and they all willingly submitted to Great Yu. After generations of prosperity, my Great Yu reached its zenith, to the extent that even Great Xia referred to my era as the Great Yu Golden Age!"

"What use are historical evaluations? In the Cultivation World, power is respected."

Lord Controller drew a square map on the ground, representing the Central Continent, then drew a vertical line splitting the Central Continent into two halves, one side Great Qian, the other, Great Yu.

"My Enlightenment Tao Fruit enlightens everything in the world, Emperor Yu’s Devouring Dao Fruit can even consume others’ Dao Fruits. When Emperor Yu and I join forces from this direction offering tribute, can your Great Yu withstand us?"

Guan Shanhai refused to be outdone. His cell was too far from the Controller, making it too difficult to draw a map on the Controller’s chart, so he drew an identical map right in front of himself.

"What’s so difficult about stopping you? Wu Yao’s Swap Dao Fruit can directly swap the Emperor into the cosmos, making him unable to swallow even the northwest wind. Do you think you alone can withstand an attack from both me and Wu Yao?"

"Besides, we have the war generals of Great Yu, each of whom climbed out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. They lead eighteen armies, splitting them into six groups to invade Great Qian en masse. Your so-called divine monarchs would be lucky not to break down in fear when faced with our generals!"

"Break down in fear? Let’s not go too far. On our side, we have Si Lei and Si Chen, who can control hours of Heavenly Tribulation with the immature Dao Fruit. Your eighteen armies would collapse upon a single touch from them!"

"General Yu, the foremost war general of Great Yu, possesses the immature Yin-Yang Dao Fruit, truly cultivated by himself, not some semi-immortals you fabricated in imitation of the Four Ancient Immortals!"

"With General Yu leading the army, defining Yin and Yang, what can you possibly do?"

"The Imperial Teacher speaks well! That’s exactly how we should fight. Let’s see what Great Qian can do about it!" The cultivators of Great Yu grew more excited as they listened and could not help but punch the air in approval.

"What are you being arrogant about? The Emperor has long returned. He has descended directly from the cosmos to your rear in Great Yu, creating a slaughtering spree and forming a pincer attack with Lord Controller!" shouted the cultivators of Great Qian in anger. They had been swallowing their pride at Captive Peak for a long time, and now they finally had a chance to raise their eyebrows and breathe freely; how could they willingly be suppressed by the forces of Great Yu again?

"All Emperor Yu has to do is teleport the Emperor away again when the time comes!"

"How could the Emperor possibly be defeated by the same maneuver again? If he gets teleported again, he could drag Wu Yao with him!"

The two sides argued back and forth, heatedly setting up sand tables on the ground, studying how to defeat each other and boost their nation’s prestige.

The Controller and Guan Shanhai glared at each other disagreeably, rolling up their sleeves and pointing out faults, with spittle flying and faces turning red with restraint. Were it not for the inappropriateness of the setting, they might have stripped to their waists and settled it with a real fight.

Yun Zhi quietly watched from the side; originally, she wanted to interrogate the Controller overnight. Seeing the Controller’s condition now, even if she used the old method and whipped him, she doubted she could extract anything. She decided to wait for them to calm down before torturing.

The Grandmaster of the children listened intently to the tactics and countermeasures used during the fight, jotting down any points of confusion to think through slowly later. This was precious experience that could not be sought elsewhere.

Under the national pincer strategy, Mo Xiaochou and Duan Qingshui felt fortunate to be cultivators of the Buddha Country, uninvolved in such large-scale battles.

...

Buddha Country, Western Paradise Temple, Mahavira Hall.

Dai Bufan considered repeatedly and decided to try his luck at the Western Paradise Temple.

After all, Junior Brother Lu only had an Immortal Body in Buddha Country, not truly an Immortal, and Buddhism led by the Worldly Venerable should be able to suppress Junior Brother Lu.

The Mahavira Hall was the biggest reliance of the Western Paradise Temple, not a place just anyone could enter to worship.

Dai Bufan, who had long handled internal and external affairs for the Grand Elder in Seek Dao Sect and was well-regarded externally, ranked second in the sect. His stature naturally qualified him to enter the Mahavira Hall.

Dai Bufan respectfully lit three sticks of incense and kowtowed to Buddha.

"O Great Buddha, I have two junior brothers, one named Lu Yang and the other Meng Jingzhou. I suspect they have been tainted by evil spirits, as every outing results in a major incident, and although they always manage to turn danger into safety, I ultimately worry about them encountering mishaps and dying young."

"Please, Great Buddha, expel the evil spirits from them and keep them safe!"

On the Lotus Platform, Buddha opened his ancient eyes and looked helplessly at the earnestly kowtowing Dai Bufan.

Is this really something I can manage?

Forget lighting three sticks of incense; even if you set the entire Mahavira Hall on fire, I wouldn’t have the power to handle it.
