Chapter 322: Mutual Teaching

Seeing Tu Huan’s insistence, You You didn’t press further and continued addressing the crowd. "The Demon Realm has always targeted the Three Realms – humans, monsters, and immortals alike. We must unite every force possible against this threat. Just as human and immortal realms collaborate, so should the Monster Realm. This plan applies to all."

People exchanged uncertain glances. Cooperate with monsters? Their eyes drifted to the projection showing the docile Demon King. Well… maybe it wasn’t so bad after all.

"Under normal circumstances, the Monster Realm’s seal won’t be broken," You You reassured. "We merely need mutual defense agreements. Should demons invade, we’ll fight together."

"Absolutely! The Great Immortal speaks wisdom!" Tu Huan bobbed his head like a woodpecker.

Yet unease lingered. Demons! Though all knew the sealed evil beneath Heaven’s Sacred Mountain would eventually break free, ordinary people battling demon tribes? Unthinkable!

"Let me explain." You You raised a calming hand. "High-level demons do surpass mortals – some even rival the Divine Clan. Take Demon King Long Ting. With mere divine sense, he controlled Thunder Phoenix and manipulated the Feng Clan. Feng Rong and Yuan Papa combined couldn’t defeat him."

"But most demons aren’t that powerful. Xuanxian-level cultivators can handle ordinary demons. Even low-level ones become manageable after achieving immortal bodies. With five centuries, per this plan, we can match them."

"United, the Three Realms needn’t fear demons – seal or no seal!"

Eyes lit up like festival lanterns, even the projected Demon King’s image seemed to brighten. The air buzzed with possibility. Forget demons – she mentioned immortal ascension! Wasn’t that every cultivator’s dream? Yet she called it mere… graduation?

"If…" someone whispered.

"If…" another echoed.

Hope flared, then dimmed. If only.

"Sect Master You…" A celestial maiden stood, voice trembling. "This plan… it’s brilliant but… impossible." Murmurs of agreement rippled through the hall.

"Exactly!" Another joined. "Not all sects have Master Qiu’s guidance. Our best Disciples take fifty years for Foundation Building, a century for Golden Core Stage…"

"The immortal path’s too obscure!"

"Ascension’s rare for reason!"

"Elders linger at God Transformation Stage for centuries!"

Doubt thickened like swamp mist.

"What if…" You You’s voice cut through, "…immortals taught you personally?"

Silence.

Complete, utter silence.

"Old Two! Old Four! Five-Six-Seven-Nine!" You You suddenly called.

Chaotic thumps echoed as figures materialized beside her – the plain-dressed entourage from earlier. "They’ve been suppressing their Presence to avoid startling you."

With collective exhales, celestial energy flooded the hall. Six figures transformed before widening eyes, radiating otherworldly majesty.

"These Heavenly Emperors oversee different Immortal Realm layers. They’ve agreed to assign immortals as teachers across six regions of Immortal Blessing Continent. Demon immortals will handle Monster Realm."

She flipped her paper. "Details are here. Coastal areas to mountain sects, prominent families to loose cultivators – all covered. Submit special requests to Ling Qi."

"Any questions?"

The Demon King’s projection glitched.

A disciple in back rows collapsed with soft thud.

None dared breathe.

Knees everywhere felt suspiciously watery.
