　　“Jingkong, the abbot of Huoyun Temple？”
　　“This is a Demon Emperor whose strength is comparable to that of a cultivator in the Asking Heaven Realm.”
　　Xu　Taiping　frowned.
Previously, when talking about the powerful people in the Transforming Realm, Fairy Lingyue had said that the abbot of Huoyun Temple, the Wolf King of the Cloud-Out Country and that Night Demon had strength comparable to that of the Asking Heaven Realm.
　　Now that all the powerful people in the Shocking Heaven Realm are hiding and not showing up, they are the strongest in this world.
　　If it was Jingkong to deal with, even if Fairy Lingyue agreed to take action, Xu Taiping still felt that it was too dangerous.
　　“Don’t worry, Taiping. This time, there is no need to fight to the death. Just block him for the time it takes to burn an incense stick.”
　　Noticing that Xu Taiping was a little hesitant, the old Martial God Zhu Huai immediately added.
　　“Taiping, asking the senior behind you to take action is also a last resort.”
　　Zhang Tianze also spoke at this time.
“This time, several eminent monks from Yunyin Temple and the Buddhist temples of the Cloud-Out Country accidentally intercepted a secret report related to Jiuyuan. If the secret report is correct, as long as the cultivation worlds of the Youyun countries join hands, it will be enough to cause heavy damage to Jiuyuan.”
　　“Youyun Tian can at least welcome a hundred years of stability.”
　　Having said this, Zhang Tianze paused for a moment, and then said with a very solemn expression：
　　“More importantly, after this heavy damage to Jiuyuan, we will be able to take the initiative in the Heavenly Demon Battle in the future.”
　　“At that time, the location of the Heavenly Demon Battle that occurs once every six hundred years will not be the Heavenly Demon Battlefield, but the arena of the Heavenly Demon Competition.”
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart also moved.
　　This was the first time he had clearly heard the words “Heavenly Demon Battle” from someone other than Fairy Lingyue.
　　“What’s　the　difference？”
　　Xu Taiping asked curiously.
　　Fairy Lingyue didn’t speak, indicating that she wanted to listen to these two people in front of her continue to speak.
　　“If the Heavenly Demon Battlefield is opened, the number of casualties in the future will be tens of thousands.”
　　“If the Heavenly Demon Competition is opened, only the strongest cultivators and monsters from all sides of the Upper Clear Realm need to be sent to compete with each other.”
　　“Although there is also a possibility of losing in the Heavenly Demon Competition, compared to the large-scale invasion of demons from the Heavenly Demon Battlefield, this one-on-one competition method has a much greater chance of winning for the human race.”
　　Zhu Huai very detailedly explained to Xu Taiping.
　　In short.
　　If Youyun Tian can severely damage Jiuyuan next, it can force Jiuyuan to be unable to launch the Heavenly Demon War, and thus choose the way of the Heavenly Demon Competition to end this once-in-six-hundred-year Heavenly Demon Contest.
　　“As early as when the Golden Scale Association had not ended, the cultivation world of Youyun Tian had already been planning this matter, and everything that should be prepared has been prepared.”
　　“The only variable is only that Jingkong Demon Monk of Huoyun Temple.”
　　“Although the cultivation of this Jingkong Demon Monk is similar to mine, once the great war starts, I will definitely be unable to guard against him alone.”
　　After Zhu Huai finished explaining, Zhang Tianze also spoke.
　　“However, Taiping, we are not threatening you with righteousness. How to choose still depends on you yourself.”
　　“Even if the expert in Huangting Dao Palace is unwilling to take action, we are not completely unable to deal with it.”
　　“After all, the previous attack on the Great Chu Imperial City by Huoyun Temple had one of its clones beheaded by the Youyun Great Emperor, and it won’t be able to recover in less than a hundred years.”
　　He immediately added with a relaxed smile.
　　“Why not let the Great Emperor take action？”
　　When Xu Taiping heard Zhang Tianze mention “Youyun Great Emperor”, he immediately asked.
　　Although he knew that in the current various worlds, the Great Emperor was more of a title, but judging from the fact that he could casually destroy one clone of the demonic monk in Huoyun Temple, his strength could not be underestimated either.
　　“Taiping, you don’t know this.”
　　Hearing this, Zhu Huai shook his head with a bitter smile and then explained to Xu Taiping：
　　“The Great Emperors of the various worlds are more like gods rather than cultivators.”
　　“After ascending the throne, because of their fate, they are connected to the various worlds. Once they fully attack within this world, the fate of this world will inevitably change greatly, and there is a high possibility that unpredictable disasters will occur next.”
　　“They are more helping this world resist disasters outside the world.”
　　“Disasters outside the world？” Xu Taiping’s heart was greatly shocked.
　　Just at this time, the voice of Lingyue Xianzai rang out in his mind——
　　“For the entire Shangqing Realm, the five worlds are just a very small area. They are more like five islands guarded by high walls, and more places are like a wild and chaotic place.”
　　“And in this chaos, there are even existences more terrifying than demons.”
　　“The greatest responsibility of the Great Emperors or gods of the various worlds is to help the five worlds avoid these existences.”
　　“The reason why the five Great Emperors are great is precisely because they have opened up five places of refuge for the human race.”
　　The reason why Fairy Lingyue didn’t speak up for a long time was that she wanted Xu Taiping to further understand this world through the mouths of Zhu Huai and Zhang Tianze.
　　“I understand, Sister Lingyue.”
　　Xu Taiping, who was trying hard to digest all of this, although there were still many confusing points, still responded in his heart.
　　“Taiping, whether you agree or not, give us a reply.”
　　Seeing that Xu Taiping was silent, Zhu Huai immediately asked nervously.
　　Just as Xu Taiping was thinking about how to answer, the voice of Fairy Lingyue rang out in his mind again——
　　“This matter concerns the survival of the Five Directions Heaven and Earth. I can take action, but since this action will definitely consume a spiritual peach and the price is a bit high, they must take out something to compensate.”
　　“Then what do you want them to take out to compensate, Sister Lingyue？”
　　Since Fairy Lingyue had already decided to agree, Xu Taiping naturally couldn’t say anything more.
　　“You ask them for a fairy-level Red Essence Yin-Yang Mirror. This is a treasure that must be used when you communicate with Lin Yuan Pavilion. If you go to get it yourself, it will cost a lot of gold essence coins.”
　　“Also, borrow their Youyun Great Emperor’s Cloud-Out Sword for a while. Your sister here hasn’t used a sword for a long time.”
　　Lingyue　replied　now.
　　“Okay.”
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping responded in his heart, and then looked up at Zhu Huai and Zhang Tianze and said：
　　“Old Zhu, General, my senior has agreed to take action, but she wants two things.”
　　Hearing this, both Zhu Huai and Zhang Tianze’s faces showed great joy.
　　“What are the conditions? Taiping, just mention them！”
　　Zhu Huai said very boldly.
　　Xu Taiping immediately said upon hearing this：
　　“The first thing is a fairy-level Red Essence Yin-Yang Mirror.”
　　“A fairy-level Red Essence Yin-Yang Mirror？ This thing is a bit rare, but no problem, I will definitely find it for you！”
　　Zhu Huai thought for a moment and then readily agreed.
　　Xu Taiping nodded and then continued：
　　“The second thing is to borrow the Cloud-Soaring Sword of the Youyun Great Emperor for use.”
　　“The　Cloud-Soaring　Sword？”
　　Upon hearing the three words “Cloud-Soaring Sword”, Zhu Huai and Zhang Tianze were both stunned on the spot.
After a long time, Zhu Huai said with a difficult face:
　　“Taiping, it’s not that we don’t lend out the Cloud-Soaring Sword, but this Cloud-Soaring Sword doesn’t recognize anyone except each generation of Youyun Great Emperors！”
　　Zhang Tianze also nodded at this time and said：
　　“The sword spirit of this Cloud-Soaring Sword has a very strange temper. Except for the Youyun Great Emperor, no one can invite it out of the sword pavilion in the Youyun Mansion.”
　　After hearing what the two said, Xu Taiping was also a little surprised and immediately asked Fairy Lingyue in his heart：
　　“Sister Lingyue, this Cloud-Soaring Sword doesn’t recognize anyone. What should we do？”
　　Not long after, the voice of Fairy Lingyue rang out in Xu Taiping’s mind——
　　“How　dare　it！”
　　Before Xu Taiping could even come back to his senses, he heard Immortal Lingyue say again：
　　“Inform Youyun Mansion to lift the restriction on the Sword Tower. I will come to fetch the sword now！”
