Zhang Shaobai unleashed a series of shocking revelations and then said to the utterly astounded group of Tribulation Realm cultivators, “This is the current arrangement outside the Temple of War God at Wandao School, three major Heavenly Palaces, comparable to the complete Return to Void, Earth Calamity Extreme Realm, twelve Divine Generals, also possessing the combat power of Return to Void, likewise, the Twenty-Eight Constellations together can also rival Return to Void…”

Zhang Shaobai’s words, one by one, pierced the hearts of the crowd, causing the faces of the Tribulation Realm powerhouses to look extremely unsightly.

Even though they had already personally experienced it, they still had not anticipated that the strength of Wandao School would be so formidable.

“That’s not right!”

Suddenly shaken and confused, Ning Beiming looked coldly at Zhang Shaobai and said, “Three major Heavenly Palaces, myriad artifact levels, twelve Divine Generals, Twenty-Eight Constellations, also at ten million artifact-level, adding up to nearly a billion techniques, and you just said that Heaven Martial resurrected three hundred years ago. Three hundred years ago, he created a billion magic artifacts, and also with the so-called Immortal Spiritual Treasures at its core, isn’t that too inconceivable?”

Hearing this, everyone also woke up from their astonishment.

“Right!”

“Although these magic artifacts are not of high grade, they are extraordinary objects, not common cabbages on the street. To create a billion in three hundred years, even hens don’t lay eggs that fast, do they?”

“Also, these artifacts can’t possibly come about without cause, where did he get so many materials, so much manpower and resources, to create a billion magic artifacts in just three hundred years?”

“Kid, are you trying to scare us?!”

The crowd of Tribulation Realm powerhouses came back to their senses, their eyes wide with anger, shouting at Zhang Shaobai.

To this, Zhang Shaobai could only smile bitterly, “The esteemed Elders are mistaken, it’s not three hundred years, but one hundred years, not a billion artifacts, but more than a billion, uncountable, because apart from the three major Heavenly Palaces and Immortal Spirit Mech Armors, in various places in the Scholar’s Palace, billions of cultivators are also equipped with magic artifacts, even to the extent of tens and hundreds of millions of Spirit-Treasure Mech Armors…”

With a bitter smile and even more bitter words, Zhang Shaobai looked at the people and said with a bombastic tone, “These are merely the outcomes of a hundred years after Wandao School united the world and took control of the Forty-eight Domains.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“This…”

“How is that possible!”

Everyone stood there, utterly disbelieving.

Just then…

“How could it not be possible?”

A gentle sigh arose beside them, drawing the attention of everyone.

Looking towards the voice, they saw Yun Mengyao step forward gracefully and speak at ease, “Wandao School not only collects the world’s resources but also harnesses the world’s power. With the Taoist Martial Two Scriptures imparted to the world and cultivators in all directions as powerful as dragons, plus with the Agricultural Methods and Industrial Methods to increase production and population, why worry about insufficient manpower and resources?”

“Humph!”

At these words, before the group of Tribulation Realm could speak, Zhang Shaobai shouted angrily, “What harnessing the world’s power, had it not been for his cunning looting, the destruction of the Demon Realm, the subjugation of the Martial Domain, and the absorption of major powers from the black and white paths, gaining the thousand-year foundation and the profound potentialities of various sects, how could that tyrant have achieved so much in a hundred years?”

To this, Yun Mengyao merely smiled, “This is collecting the world’s resources. When Scholar’s Palace governs the world, it is for the sake of the world’s well-being, not for the interests of a single sect or faction. If everyone remained conservative and fought each other out of self-interest, when would we ever achieve today’s glory?”

Having said that, she took another step forward and addressed the Tribulation Realm of the Righteous Path, “This junior has come here today by the order of the Taoist Master. All the Elders here are high and righteous people from the Righteous Path. As long as you lay down your weapons and surrender to Scholar’s Palace, the Taoist Master will surely treat you with honor. Even if there are some past offenses, they can be offset by your merits.”

“In the past, every sect of the Righteous Path and the six Sacred Places surrendered just like this, and now they are also among the people governed by Scholar’s Palace, even holding important positions. You Elders are the Supreme Elders of various sects, and your wisdom far surpasses that of us juniors, so you should be able to see clearly…”

“Shut up!”

Before she could finish, Zhang Shaobai, consumed with rage, interrupted, “Elders, do not be fooled by this demoness’ words! Wandao School incessantly claims to value laws and rules, but in reality, they are sanctimonious, deceiving the world, a hundred years ago, our Sword Sea Pavilion and other sects of the Righteous Path, as well as the six Sacred Places, in order to avoid the scourge of war and the suffering of the living, humbly surrendered to them, and how did they treat us?”

“In the last hundred years, that tyrant, under the guise of upholding laws, carried out purges against our six Sacred Places and the various Righteous Path sects, slaughtering families and rolling heads. To this day, although a name still exists, in reality, they have been utterly replaced and exist in name only.”

“Therefore, Elders, you must not believe this demoness’ words. Once you surrender, you will be like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of that tyrant!”

With these words, his eyes reddened and tears streamed down.

In response, Yun Mengyao remained calm and spoke evenly, “Our Wandao School wields the law as a public tool, with no selfish desires to harm; those who were executed had all stepped beyond their bounds and deserved their deaths!”

“`

After speaking, he turned to Zhang Shaobai, “Even you who are obstinate and harbor ill intentions, the Scholar’s Palace has let you be.

“Why?”

“Because the law does not convict the thoughts, only the deeds. That’s why you still have a chance!”

“Today, you are here to sow discord because, at the time of your submission to the Martial Domain, the Taoist Master promised you a chance to choose. Otherwise, with your abilities, how could you have come this far?”

“You…!”

Yun Mengyao’s words left Zhang Shaobai with an ashen face, unable to retort.

Yun Mengyao did not give him a chance to argue and immediately turned to the people of the Righteous Path, “Now, my Wandao School has laid out a Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap outside the Temple of War God, the Heavenly Demon Array of the Heavenly Demon Palace, the Taiji One Qi Primordial Array of the Divine Martial Palace, and the Five Elements Seal Heaven Lock Demon Great Formation of White Jade Capital—layers upon layers of formations, sealing the sky and locking the earth, leaving absolutely no way out!”

“Besides, there are the three great Heavenly Palaces, the Immortal Spirit Mech Armor, the Twelve Divine Generals, the twenty-eight constellations, as well as the myriad disciples of the Wandao School, all on war alert, ready to sacrifice their lives at the school’s command, one falling after another.”

“Distinguished predecessors, although you are strong in the Tribulation Realm, dare you assert that you have the confidence to combat my school, to resist the world of Ten Thousand Dao, to resist the power of the Immortal Martial heritage?”

“Of course, you can also choose to stay entrenched within this Temple of War God; the Immortal Spirit Mech Armor is too massive to invade, but how long can you hold out? A thousand years, two thousand, or maybe three thousand?”

“In governing the world, my school thrives and prospers, changing day by day, turning the world upside down. In just a hundred years, we have achieved so much; what will the situation be after a thousand years?”

“And consider you—how confident are you that in these thousand years, two thousand years, or three thousand years, you can break through the Heavenly Tribulation, and possibly reach the Divine Martial Mahayana Realm?”

Yun Mengyao’s expression remained calm, her eyes emotionless, “Comparing the two, one advances by leaps and bounds, the other remains stagnant. After a thousand years, the outcome is obvious — Mengyao need not say more, should I?”

“You…!”

Her words sent a shockwave of indignation through those of the Righteous Path, leaving them speechless and even causing the old Tribulation Realm figures like Ning Beiming and Ren Baimei to frown deeply.

Yun Mengyao, however, was relentless, “The grand trend of the world is unstoppable. Now, our predecessors are not just opposing one person, one family, one sect. Instead, you are opposing an entire world, billions of cultivators. Such resistance is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, an ant shaking a tree. You are all of great wisdom; surely you will not go against nature in such a way.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

At this, everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere grew tense.

Although Yun Mengyao’s words sounded threatening, they indeed frightened them.

With the Wandao School’s momentum already established, now wielding both grace and might, offering a path of surrender, would they insist on resisting to the bitter end?

But as powerful beings of the Tribulation Realm, to kneel and submit to another at a few words, that seemed unjustifiable.

Besides, the words of Zhang Shaobai had left a lasting concern, making it difficult for them to decide.

The people of the Righteous Path hesitated, the air in the hall growing even tenser.

Seeing this, Yun Mengyao stepped forward, approaching the Supreme Elder of Mercy Sailing Temple, Jue Shenni, and knelt down before her.

“Ancestral Master!”

“Mercy Sailing Temple has always taken the world’s peace and peril as its own responsibility. Now is the time to decide the future of the world.”

“Therefore, your disciple takes the liberty!”

Yun Mengyao presented her hands and said to Jue Shenni, who was taken aback, “For the sake of the world, for the welfare of all beings, for the Mercy Sailing Temple, and for our Ancestral Master and the senior predecessors, please lead by example. Submit to the Scholar’s Palace and end this warfare!”
