Chapter 296: Chapter 220: Reshuffling! The Struggle for Dominance, Division Platform!_2
Su Nan’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
The Dividing Platform is the first earthly change before the opening of the Empire Road.
With the dissipation of world suppression and the great trends arriving, a Dividing Platform will condense between heaven and earth.
Dividing fate, also dividing power!
The world’s fortune is divided into nine parts. Anyone who occupies a Dao platform can secure a portion of the great power for their Dao sect!
Fortune used to be something elusive, untouchable and unseen.
But in an era where a grand era descends, fortune is extremely important!
It allows the Dao sect to produce more prodigies and encounter opportunities far beyond those of ordinary Loose Cultivators.
Dividing fortune, dividing power, is also a struggle of Dao sects.
At that time, all the world’s Dao sects such as Buddhist, Demonic, Martial, Confucian, Dao, Alchemy, Demon, Sword, Elf, etc., will gather together.
Practitioners of the same Dao, even if they were once mortal enemies, will ally on that day to occupy a Dao platform jointly.
As long as they can hold it, it means that their Dao sect will carry the great power in the future, paving the way to the Empire Road!
Yet those Loose Cultivators, lacking fortune, will find it exceptionally difficult to rise in this grand era.
In the past, the nine Dividing Platforms were mostly dominated by those powerful Dao sects.
Just like the Martial Cultivators, they simply wouldn’t care about such a so-called Dividing Platform.
Because no matter how many people come, there will always be a ’Martial Dao’ platform.
If anyone dares to snatch it, a vast number of Martial Cultivators across the world would tear those people apart.
This is the advantage of a powerful Dao sect.
Similarly, weaker Dao sects, to gain a portion of heavenly fortune, must charge forward desperately.
However, the Dividing Platform of this era is destined to be extremely cruel.
With the arrival of a grand era, even some Dao sects that previously did not compete for power will emerge.
Just like the Elf tribe of this era, if Hua Buyu wishes to become an emperor, they will inevitably strive for a portion of heavenly fortune for the Elf tribe.
The nine Dividing Platforms seem many, but when considering the multitude of Dao sects in the world, they are simply not enough.
And just at this time, the Dark Forbidden Area also wants to get involved.
With the Dark Forbidden Area’s terrifying strength, they might really seize a Dividing Platform!
"Will the Heavenly Dao allow dark beings to participate?"
Su Nan’s expression remained as usual, but he uneasily asked.
"The Heavenly Dao? Heh."
The Master of Chaos sneered, "This is the last era, let’s see if it can withstand external pressure."
"If it dares to block, it would merely lead to an early war. It wouldn’t dare take the risk."
Although Su Nan didn’t understand the details, his heart slowly sank to the bottom.
Clearly, the pressure the Heavenly Dao faces might be beyond everyone’s imagination.
"Wu Xiu."
The Master of Chaos looked at Wu Xiu and said, "The Dividing Platform focuses on the new forces of each Dao sect; anyone above the Divine Image realm cannot step in."
"Ascending the Dividing Platform is a significant opportunity for those at the divine peak."
"Borrowing the fortune of that place, one can condense a supreme divine image."
After a pause, his gaze turned outward, and he said calmly:
"At that time, all dark forbidden areas across the continent will dispatch divine realm cultivators, and there will also be some prodigies returning from the Outer Domain."
"With your traits of being invincible and immortal in the same realm, seizing a Dividing Platform is more than achievable."
"But during this grand situation, darkness must occupy at least twenty percent!"
"And you, must ascend one of them, condense the strongest divine image, and exalt the prestige of our Chaotic Forbidden Area!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiu bowed slightly and chuckled, "Rest assured, my lord, on the peak of the Dividing Platform, there shall certainly be a place for our Chaotic Forbidden Area!"
Listening to their conversation, Su Nan’s fists clenched unconsciously.
The ambition of the Dark Forbidden Area was even greater than he imagined.
The world’s fortune accounts for ten parts, with one part drifting across the heavens, becoming a lifeline for the ordinary.
The remaining nine parts will condense into nine Dividing Platforms for the world’s Dao sects to compete over.
If the Dark Forbidden Area seizes two Dividing Platforms, it would mean that Cangyan Continent would lose twenty percent of its fortune for nothing!
This gain for one is a loss for the other, making the already weak situation for Cangyan Continent even more difficult.
"How to stop this?"
"In the same realm of battle, who can kill the immortal and indestructible demonic intent?"
Su Nan frowned, his thoughts racing, yet he couldn’t find a viable solution.
"Su Nan."
At this point, the Master of Chaos spoke, "The barrier sealing the forbidden area has not been lifted yet; you are the strongest person who can freely move across the continent."
"During this time, the Demon Race and Human Race are constantly battling over the Grotto Heavens emerging from heaven and earth, making it an excellent time to recruit manpower."
"All external matters I will fully entrust to you."
"Once the Dividing Platform is settled, I will arrange for you to enter the Outer Domain."
Upon hearing these words, Su Nan nodded. Without leaving any trace, he glanced at Wu Xiu before turning to leave.
"Sir, has this person always been so arrogant?"
Watching Su Nan leave without even a greeting, Wu Xiu’s eyes flickered with darkness.
"Isn’t it normal for someone capable to be a bit arrogant?"
Watching Su Nan’s departing figure, Master of Chaos said heavily, "Don’t underestimate him. In terms of talent alone, you’re not even worthy to carry his shoes."
If it weren’t for the Su family’s restraint, the current Master of Chaos wouldn’t be able to do anything against Su Nan based on strength alone.
"Is he really that strong..."
Wu Xiu’s gaze narrowed, then he looked at the Master of Chaos and hesitantly asked:
"Sir, is the demonic intent... truly immortal and indestructible?"
Upon hearing this, the Master of Chaos seemed to recall his own doubts of the past.
But the response from that great one was...
"The only thing that can kill darkness is darkness..."
...
Cangyan Continent, the center of the five domains, above the firmament.
As the suppression of heaven and earth completely dissipated, over some months, the continent underwent many changes.
Most notably, the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth became denser, and various rare treasures started to emerge continuously.
Even some Grotto Heavens, special places like small worlds, were discovered one after another.
Thus, without the barrier, the Demon Race and the Human Race, due to various opportunities, engaged in fierce battles.
However, just as many forces competed for resources, a series of vast and illusory altars appeared in the sky above the continent’s center.
These altars were massive beyond bounds, visible even from the very edges of the continent.
There were nine altars, gathering terrifying forces from heaven and earth, absorbing the world’s fortune, waiting for redistribution.
That grand mirage-like phenomenon made all the Dao sects of the world instantly boil.
Eastern Domain, Sword God Mountain.
Ximen Langge stood at the mountaintop, looking at the distant colossal phantom, murmuring to himself,
"It’s time for reshuffling again. This time, one of those nine altars must belong to the Sword Dao."
As he finished speaking, he softly transmitted his voice, "Qingjun, come see me."
Above the Divine Aspect realm cannot participate; the strength of the Dao sect always lies in new blood.
His cultivation has long surpassed the Divine Aspect, but the new generation of the Celestial Sword Immortal Sect is also strong.
"Second brother."
Before long, Ximen Qingjun, less arrogant, arrived and respectfully bowed.
The affair with the Liu family hit him hard.
Even though Ximen Langge has been coaching him, increasing his strength substantially, he still can’t forget that sword like an Emperor descending to the world.
"The Fortune Redistribution Altars are absorbing the world’s great forces and will fully coalesce in less than three months."
Ximen Langge looked at Qingjun and chuckled lightly, "This is not a small opportunity for the Divine Spirit realm."
"The thick world fortune there will allow you to coalesce a top-tier Divine Aspect."
With a pause in his speech, he softly said, "Three months from now, the Fortune Redistribution Altars, the Immortal Mansion will dispatch all Divine Spirit realm disciples."
"I want you to lead and help the Sword Dao secure one of those altars!"
Ximen Qingjun was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.
If this had been before, for such a high-profile matter, he would have agreed immediately.
But now...
Recalling the terrifying Emperor’s Sword Seal, a trace of fear instinctively appeared in his eyes,
"I... can I do it?"
Ximen Langge frowned upon hearing this, staring fixedly at Ximen Qingjun.
Clearly, the affair with the Liu family didn’t just defeat Ximen Qingjun but also wounded his Dao heart, leaving a shadow.
"Second brother, is there any news from the Sword Emperor Sect?"
Ximen Qingjun knew his mindset was hurt, and he spoke with full of killing intent:
"I won’t be at peace until I kill Su Changqing!"
"I want to steal his legacy, chop off his head!"
Back then, he didn’t understand why his second brother was fixated on the Sword Emperor Sect’s legacy.
But when he truly faced it he realized that the Sword Emperor’s intent far exceeded the horror of the Celestial Sword Dao.
Such Sword Dao, none among sword cultivators in the world can resist.
"The Sword Emperor Sect, old adversary..."
Ximen Langge’s gaze turned cold toward the distance, "Father has already found records of the Sword Emperor Sect."
"I initially thought of going to seek him after the Fortune Redistribution Altars."
"But now it seems..."
Ximen Langge glanced at Ximen Qingjun, murmuring to himself, "Perhaps it’s time to invite him to Sword God Mountain."
"Su Mingyu seems like a decent bait..."
