Chapter 2265 - 2264: Bottom Line
Song Jiyu’s words were essentially a warning to them.
The previous Bright Moon Tai Emperor and Thousand Leaves Sound Mother, both from the Four Great Dao Academies, were killed by the Extraterritorial Demons.
The Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects not only refuse to use their true foundation but also expect the Four Great Dao Academies to continue helping them lead the charge?
This is simply wishful thinking!
"Brother Song, that’s wrong."
Du Tianlin paused for a moment, then said, "Given the current situation, all of us want to contribute to making the Lower-Class Star Region peaceful, but wanting is one thing; we must have the strength to do so!"
"Sect Leader Du."
Song Jiyu glanced at him and said indifferently, "As for what foundation the Divine Dream Sect has, I believe you should be more aware than me, right?"
"A million years ago, the One Blade of the Divine Dream emerged, everyone thought their lifespan had run out and they had fallen, but do the Four Great Dao Academies indeed think they have fallen?"
"Cough cough..."
Upon hearing this, Du Tianlin suddenly coughed softly and stayed silent.
"There’s more."
Song Jiyu hesitated slightly, then said, "There are certain things that I shouldn’t say, but from the standpoint of your Divine Dream Sect, I felt it necessary to mention them."
"I’m all ears," Du Tianlin replied.
"As they say, ’Closer to the water, first to see the moon... Your daughter, Du Xi, is mutually affectionate with Phoenix Sect Leader’s son, Su Qing, and not being forced. Why do you insist on stopping them? Just because in your eyes, the Phoenix Sect is worth less than ants and cannot compare to the Divine Dream Sect? Would it damage your Emperor Lord Tianlin’s reputation?"
Du Tianlin frowned but did not say much.
Only to hear Song Jiyu continue, "If you could let Du Xi marry Su Qing, how could the safe zone not have a part for your Divine Dream Sect? Your disciples would not need to constantly fight outside, suffering endless casualties? You are the Sect Leader of the Divine Dream Sect, any thought of yours could decide the life and death of those disciples!"
Upon hearing this, Du Tianlin finally couldn’t help but let out a cold snort.
"That is family business involving no one else. No need to discuss it here!"
"Haha... The dignity of the Heavenly Emperor Realm is indeed significant."
Song Jiyu laughed sarcastically and continued, "However, I can tell you that the future Phoenix Sect will definitely make you lift your head but can’t even see its heels!"
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, those around were taken aback.
They knew the Four Great Dao Academies traversed the Milky Way Galaxy, though detached from worldly matters, they were well-informed.
For Song Jiyu to say this, he must have a reason.
But they didn’t understand how a mere Phoenix Sect, already forced to hide out of sight, dared not show itself.
Under such circumstances, they would soon die out, what reason is there for them to become a major sect in the future?
"Brother Song, I hesitate to agree with this statement," Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor said blandly.
From another side, Ancestor Emperor of Silver Sea also said, "If what Brother Song refers to is the Seven-Colored Saint of Law and Destruction Empress, then I also do not believe that the Phoenix Sect will achieve the accomplishments you claim."
"What do you know?"
Song Jiyu sneered, "Even without talking about the Phoenix Sect, or how high the aptitude of the Seven-Colored Saint of Law is, just speaking of the Destruction Empress... do you truly think that the Destruction Empress is merely a Sub-Immortal level powerhouse? Just at the same level as the Dark Sorcerer Supreme and Great Emperor Yushuang?"
"If not, then what?" Ancestor Emperor of Silver Sea coldly snorted.
Previously, Xiang’er had forced him to sever his own hands and feet; he certainly wouldn’t forget that anger.
"Even as people of the Three Teachings, have you not read the ancient texts from your teachings?"
Song Jiyu said, "And you haven’t thought about how even a Sub-Immortal level powerhouse like Lord of Nine Snakes must bend and bow before the Destruction Empress. How strong could the likes of the Dark Sorcerer Supreme be, comparatively?"
"Although I don’t know the true strength of the Destruction Empress, I can tell you..."
"According to information from my Four Great Dao Academies, even in the Middle-Class Star Region, the Destruction Empress would still be a peak existence!"
Upon hearing these words, everyone’s pupils shrunk, showing shock.
"What?!"
"That’s pure nonsense!"
"Yes, if the Destruction Empress were really that powerful, why stay in the Lower-Class Star Region?"
"Haha, don’t tell me she doesn’t wish to become stronger, for which cultivator does not wish to improve? What benefit does the Destruction Empress have in staying in the Lower-Class Star Region? What resources here can facilitate her cultivation?"
Almost everyone disbelieved.
They really couldn’t think of a reason why the Destruction Empress would remain here.
"This, I do not know either."
Song Jiyu shook his head: "Perhaps only one person in the entire Lower-Class Star Region knows, and that is—Phoenix Sect Leader, Su Han!"
"Him?"
The crowd furrowed brows again.
But suddenly, they recalled the conversation between Su Han and the Destruction Empress from their previous encounter.
Does that mean Su Han has known the Destruction Empress for a while?
How is that possible?!
"This matter is irrelevant, it is simply idle chatter. What is crucial today is still how to counter the Extraterritorial Demons."
Song Jiyu said, "Orders have already come down from above; the foundation utilized this time has reached the limit of the Four Great Dao Academies. The four Sub-Immortal level powerhouses—Fire Demon Holy Emperor, Emperor of Jinling, Daoist Tianyi, and Divine Sovereign Cloud Sea—must not suffer any loss whatsoever, or else the Four Great Dao Academies will immediately pull back. Whatever happens to the Lower-Class Star Region subsequently, will be of no concern to us!"
"This..."
The crowd exchanged looks but no one spoke.
"Here’s some advice for you."
Song Jiyu glanced around and said, "Set aside your ridiculous pride, go to the Phoenix Sect, and ask Su Han to concede part of the safe zone. In this way, you might have a chance to breathe."
"If you continue to delay, even using all your foundation, you won’t stand a chance against the Extraterritorial Demons!"
Upon hearing this, cold snorts immediately echoed around.
"That’s impossible!"
"We, being esteemed Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouses, how could we humble ourselves to beg him? That would be no different from a beggar!"
"That despicable Su Baliu better not show up, otherwise I will destroy him!"
Listening to these remarks, Song Jiyu shook his head discreetly, muttering to himself, "Really a bunch of fools..."
"A beggar or death, I think, being a beggar is better."
Song Jiyu stood up: "I once calculated for you, that when you attack the Extraterritorial Demons using starry battleships, the Spirit Crystals consumed daily truly exceed the expense of entering the safe zone."
"And if you could enter those safe zones, at least some of you could avoid dying in vain and leave some descendants for your sects."
