Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 585: Opening the Ruins Cave

The news of the destruction of Celestial Sword Palace quickly spread, causing an uproar across the Six Realms.

Everyone expressed their shock.

After all, the Celestial Sword Palace, an ancient sect regarded as a totemic level in the Immortal Realm, had suddenly vanished, leaving everyone unprepared.

The fall of eight Immortal Emperors made people exclaim that the Upper Immortal Realm was truly about to change drastically.

Sect Leader Jiang's achievements inexplicably gained eight more stars.

Clearly still a Quasi-Emperor, he was already being regarded as the foremost War God of the Immortal Realm.

However, this seemed to have little to do with most lower-level immortals.

The destruction of the Celestial Sword Palace even caused rejoicing in the Sword Cultivation Realm.

From now on, everyone could freely enter and leave Celestial Sword Mountain for cultivation.

But for the Immortal Alliance, which ruled the Immortal Realm, this was a calamity, indicating that the sky was about to collapse.

"We can't go on like this!"

"If Jiang Cheng is not removed, there will be no peace in the Six Realms!"

"However, he is the Jiexin, we can't touch him..."

"Besides killing him, there are other ways."

"We'd rather switch the Jiexin than let him live any longer!"

"Indeed, this person is too dangerous. Even without the identity of Jiexin, he cannot be spared!"

"Contact the other Five Realms!"

Far away in the Grand Demon Palace, the Lord of the Celestial Division, the Nine-tailed Demon Emperor, received the news and quickly informed the two Qilin Emperors and the Peacock Demon Emperor, Wanshi, Bai He, Ear Mouse, and other demon emperors from the Qilin Camp.

"The Immortal Alliance wants to open the Ruins Cave and needs our cooperation."

"What?"

"Are they insane?"

"This will destroy the Immortal Realm!"

It's no wonder they reacted so strongly, mainly because the Ruins Cave indeed concerns the fate of the entire Six Realms.

In the past, although the Immortal Realm was divided into the six divisions of Immortals, Demons, Spirits, Monsters, Death, and Barbarians, there was interaction among the various races.

Because at that time, the entire Immortal Realm was one entity, and interchanges among races were common.

Later, the Immortal and Demon Realms staged an Immortal Demon War, knocking the Chaotic Ruins down, turning it into the Void Immortal Realm, which sealed the Lower Realm and disrupted the Ascension rules.

From then on, the entire Immortal Realm was fragmented.

Plus, the Immortal Emperors and Demon Emperors intervened, deliberately dividing the realms to ultimately form the current landscape of the Immortal Realm.

The complete Immortal Realm was split into Upper, Middle, and Lower Immortal Realms.

The Six Realms of the Upper Immortal Realm were also separated, distinct and clear.

The so-called Immortal Demon Mountain defense line also appeared during this time.

However, this series of fierce actions also brought about negative consequences.

As the core of the Immortal Realm, the Chaotic Ruins was knocked down, creating a void area in the center of the Six Realms.

At first, it was just considered a deep pit.

But gradually, some immortals inexplicably fell into it and never returned.

Moreover, this void area began spreading rapidly to the surroundings.

Soon it expanded to cover an entire region.

Given time, it might engulf the entire Immortal Realm.

Because of this, all Six Realms sent Emperor Realm experts to investigate.

In the end, these Emperor Realm experts also could not return.

This finally drew the full attention of the high echelons of each realm.

Ultimately, the top experts of the Six Realms joined forces to wield the Power of Rules, taking hundreds of thousands of years to place a Great Array and countless Restrictions around the Ruins Cave to temporarily seal it.

However, this did not mean forever peace.

To prevent catastrophe, no single realm could break the seal of the Ruins Cave Great Array alone.

The Immortal Alliance needed the consent of the Demon Realm and other realms to open the Ruins Cave.

"What do they want to open the Ruins Cave for?"

"To eliminate Jiang Cheng!"

The Nine-tailed Demon Emperor enunciated each word, eyes haunted and profound.

Ear Mouse Emperor shuddered all over: "Isn't Jiang Cheng the Jiexin? Who dares to kill him?"

Emperor Mo Lin said expressionlessly: "The Immortal Alliance does not intend to kill him but to exile him into the Ruins Cave."

"Once inside the Ruins Cave, no matter how great his abilities, he will never see daylight again!"

"Moreover, though the Jiexin is not dead, if he is not in the Immortal Realm, he might even take the Great Calamity with him."

"Did you agree to this proposal?"

The token to open the Great Array in the Demon Realm is traditionally controlled by the Lord of the Celestial Division.

This term's Lord of the Celestial Division is the Nine-tailed Demon Emperor, who naturally has the token.

"Not yet."

Ze Lu Demon Emperor took a deep breath, his tone somewhat heavy: "Jiang Cheng... is, however, the Lord of the Earth Division in our Demon Realm!"

Now everyone knows that Cang Cheng is Jiang Cheng.

But his Azure Dragon Bloodline is genuine.

And his Dragon Bone is indeed of the Dragon Race, confirmed by the Cyan Dragon Emperor.

Thus, the Demon Realm did not consider him part of the Human Race.

The issue is...

"Jiang Cheng is not one of us!"

Emperor Mo Lin said coldly: "He is here to be our enemy!"

Ear Mouse Emperor's shrewd triangular eyes shone without revealing sharpness.

He wanted to protect Jiang Cheng, as the Yashu King was still working under his command, but he couldn't express it too directly.

So he slowly said: "Jiang Cheng recently delivered a heavy blow to the Immortal and Demon Realms, also alleviating pressure on our Demon Realm. His existence is still quite meaningful."

Bear Pi Demon Emperor nodded: "Indeed, since he became the Jiexin, the Immortal Demon Mountain has been utterly peaceful, which is a good thing."

"I think keeping him is not necessarily a bad idea."

Ze Lu Demon Emperor also said: "With him causing chaos in the front, causing headaches for the Immortal and Demon Realms, the situation is indeed quite favorable. Now that both realms focus on him, we can finally take a breather..."

"Fools!"

Emperor Yulin sharply interrupted them.

"Are you siding with Jiang Cheng now?"

He did not hide his hostile gaze, coldly sweeping everyone present.

"Don't forget, he was our enemy from the beginning!"

"Between us and him, there will inevitably be a war someday!"

Wanshi Demon Emperor immediately agreed: "Exactly, this child is not the strength of our Demon Realm, but our most significant threat!"

During the Grand Demon Assembly, he never forgot the grudge of the Golden Thread Insect's death from the Insect Race.

And given the historical grievances with the Dark Phoenix Race, the Peacock Demon Emperor was also destined for a future clash with Lin Ning, so he too wished for Jiang Cheng's demise.

"This child is now in the spotlight, but what rises must fall, and his excessive slaughter would bring great disaster to our entire Demon Realm!"

"Precisely, the Immortal and Demon Realms' foundations are not simple. Can he alone be stronger than the entire Immortal and Demon Realms?"

"If not for his Jiexin identity, he'd have died long ago."

"And who knows if his Jiexin identity might bring calamity to our Demon Realm as well."

"Furthermore, who knows if his Jiexin presence would bring catastrophe to our entire Demon Realm!"

"We must eliminate this variable threat early to avoid future disasters."

After making their decision, Ear Mouse Emperor clearly knew his opinion contradicted the others, but he couldn't express it directly.

Consequently, the Nine-tailed, Emperor Mo Lin, and Yulin, alongside Peacock, Wanshi, and other five demon emperors, sent a message to the Immortal Realm, agreeing to their proposal.
