Chapter 256: Episode 11 Upper Realm Envoy (3 - s completed, asking for monthly votes)
The remaining tens of thousands of the Independent Demon Army flew majestically toward the Yinyue Mountain Range. Since the Independent Demons and Independent Immortals had already ceased hostilities, naturally, the Independent Demon Army no longer needed to engage in killing.
Leading the forefront of the Independent Demon Army were Wu Kongxue, Lady Lian Yue, Wu Hei, and the Fire Demon among others.
"Wu Kongxue, now that we have ceased hostilities with the Independent Immortals and the time for the Demon World Envoy’s descent is drawing near, should we just protect the Sky-breaking Map until the arrival of the Demon World Envoy?" Lady Lian Yue communicated through a transmission.
Wu Kongxue was startled.
"The descent of the Demon World Envoy, when will he descend, how come I don’t know about it?" Wu Kongxue seemed very sensitive regarding the descent of the Demon World Envoy.
Lady Lian Yue communicated via transmission, "The people of the Demon World have their unique methods to communicate with us in the Lower Realm. As for when he will descend, to tell you the truth, even I am not very clear. I only know a little... the day of the Demon World Envoy’s descent is approaching."
Wu Kongxue nodded his head.
"Lian Yue, do you know how the people from the Demon World descend? As far as I know, traversing the barriers between two worlds is extremely difficult," Wu Kongxue countered.
Lady Lian Yue pondered for a moment.
"Wu Kongxue, I am also aware that moving from one realm to another is incredibly challenging. However, the Demon Emperor of the Demon World has told me that a Demon World Envoy will certainly descend. Since the Demon Emperor has said so, of course, I will not doubt it. It might be precisely because of the difficulty of descending that the Demon World Envoy has not yet come to the Mortal World," Lady Lian Yue speculated.
According to Lady Lian Yue’s thoughts, if descending were easy, considering how much the Demon Emperor of the Demon World values Immortal Emperor Ni Yang’s treasure, they would have sent someone to descend long ago.
"In the past few days, the Demon World’s side even ordered me to protect the Sky-breaking Map well, saying that the Envoy’s arrival day is not far," Lady Lian Yue sighed.
For these experts at the pinnacle of the Mortal World, facing an Envoy from the Upper Realm is, in truth, a highly unpleasant task.
"Let’s put aside the matter of descending for now; what we need to do is reorganize the Yinyue Mountain Range. This is not only for the Yin Yue Palace but also for the living grounds of all the Independent Demons," said Wu Kongxue, and his brows furrowed as he spoke.
It was not feasible to let the Independent Demons reside outdoors after all, but the current state of the Yinyue Mountain Range was still in the middle of reconstruction.
"Yinyue Mountain Range, is it still suitable to be a Sect’s gate?" Lady Lian Yue was greatly troubled in her heart.
Scorched by Heavenly Fire until such a state, the rocks were charred, and not even the soil remained. How could such a mountain range support tree planting, vegetation cultivation, or the construction of a Sect gate? A Sect gate that lasted for a million years was reduced to such a state; who wouldn’t be infuriated?
"Skyfire Evil Lord!" Thinking of the main culprit, Lady Lian Yue couldn’t help but grind her teeth.
...
As the Independent Demon Army advanced with their flight, they eventually arrived at the Yinyue Mountain Range.
"My Lady, something terrible has happened." An Independent Demon from the Yin Yue Palace who was scouting the surroundings hurriedly approached Lady Lian Yue, "My Lady, the surviving Independent Demons and disciples in the Yinyue Mountain Range are all dead, all dead!"
Lady Lian Yue had already detected all of this through her Devil’s Consciousness, and her entire body began to tremble.
Fresh blood splattered on the newly constructed buildings of the Yinyue Mountain Range, limbs and bodies of corpses lay broken and scattered everywhere.
When Qin Yu used Heavenly Fire to burn the entire Yinyue Mountain Range, many Independent Demon experts still survived. Later, when Wu Kongxue returned with the experts, there were still several hundred Independent Demons and disciples of the Yin Yue Palace who survived.
These Independent Demons and disciples were here to rebuild the Sect gate, but now they returned to find everyone dead.
"Even the last batch of disciples is dead," Lady Lian Yue felt a tremor in her heart.
Wu Kongxue’s face was grim, and after carefully scanning with his Devil’s Consciousness for a while, he said, "Lian Yue, the ones who launched the attack were very few; I estimate only two or three people attacked. But these two or three individuals are too powerful, powerful enough that they killed everyone, and not one of the few hundred Independent Demons and disciples managed to send out a call for help in time."
On the way back, no one received a call for help.
Obviously, this group of Independent Demons and surviving disciples had no time to seek help when they were being killed.
"Who is it, who exactly is it that killed the last batch of my Yin Yue Palace’s disciples?" Lady Lian Yue was emitting a terrifying killing intent all over her body. Now, apart from the Independent Demons, it’s estimated that the only remaining disciples of Yin Yue Palace are a few scattered ones.
Wu Kongxue also frowned.
Suddenly, the Fire Demon said, "Brother Wu, what about the Sky-breaking Map, did you place it with those ordinary Independent Demons?"
Immediately, the few major Independent Demon leaders all turned their eyes to Wu Kongxue.
If Wu Kongxue truly had placed the Sky-breaking Map among those dead Independent Demons, it was very likely that the Sky-breaking Map had been stolen away.
"Of course not," Wu Kongxue sneered, "Learn from past mistakes, the Sky-breaking Map is now placed in a very safe location by me, no matter who it is, even if they rack their brains, they won’t be able to guess." Wu Kongxue appeared very confident.
Only then did the few major Independent Demons breathe a sigh of relief.
Compared to the last few hundred disciples of Yin Yue Palace, the Sky-breaking Map was the most important.
Disciples dying is no matter, so long as the Independent Demons of Yin Yue Palace are present, new disciples can be taken in again. However, cultivating new disciples requires quite a long period of time.
...
"Bad luck, I thought that Wu Kongxue left the Sky-breaking Map with those scattered demons and disciples. Who would have thought that after killing them all, we still wouldn’t obtain the Sky-breaking Map?" Wushan, one of the three great Giant Demons of Primordial Wilderness, grunted.
The idea to kill the guardians and surviving members left in Yin Yue Palace originated from Wushan.
Rarely did Wushan employ his intellect, but he thought, perhaps Wu Kongxue would once again entrust the Sky-breaking Map to an ordinary Independent Demon or an ordinary disciple.
After mentioning this idea to Yu Liang, Yu Liang actually agreed. In truth, Yu Liang did not have much expectation; he just thought there was no harm in hoping and giving it a try. Thus, the three great Giant Demons under Yu Liang took action, while Yu Liang himself did not make a move.
"Wushan, stop talking, it would truly surprise me if the Sky-breaking Map was that easy to obtain," Yu Liang said with a light smile, "Let’s proceed as planned from the beginning."

Surprisingly, numerous great trees and plants were growing above Qingxu Mountain.
Half a month ago, Qingxu Mountain had been barren, but now it has almost returned to its former state. It was still as beautiful as before; Qingxu Temple’s Holy Land—Upper Heavenly Palace—had also been restored to the summit of Qingxu Mountain.
In actuality, this was the work of True Master Ming Liang, who commanded tens of thousands of Independent Immortals to use their Divine Skills and transplant large blocks of earth directly onto Qingxu Mountain. They even moved entire trees along with more than ten meters of soil directly onto Qingxu Mountain.
With the help of tens of thousands of Independent Immortals, Qingxu Mountain regained its former appearance in merely a day.
Upper Heavenly Palace, Ninth Layer.
True Master Ming Liang himself was standing in the middle of the great formation on the Ninth Layer.
"Ming Liang, presently, the emperor-level experts from the Demon World and Demon Realm are preparing to let their people descend to the Mortal World, and Emperor Yu has also invited friends to prepare to open the spatial barrier between the Mortal World and the Upper Realm. However, the difficulty in opening the space barrier is immense, and the more stable the space barrier is breached, the higher the power of the people who can enter," he sighed, "Alas, speaking so much to you is of no use."
"Master, may I know if there are any instructions regarding this contact with the Lower Realm?" True Master Ming Liang asked.
The one conversing with True Master Ming Liang was his own master’s elder.
In the Immortal Realm, Qingxu Temple was not even considered a power, merely struggling to survive. However, since Qingxu Temple in the Mortal World obtained a Sky-breaking Map, the status of those elders from Qingxu Temple in the Immortal Realm began to rise.
True Master Ming Liang’s master’s elder had been specially arranged to communicate with Ming Liang.
In the eyes of Emperor Yu of the Immortal Realm, the status of Ming Liang’s predecessors in the sect was far from being a match for that of Ming Liang himself.
"My visit this time is to let you know that the Envoy from the Immortal Realm will probably descend within a month, and the location is likely to be where Qingxu Temple stands. You must be prepared to welcome them," True Master Ming Liang’s master’s elder urged.
"Rest assured, master’s elder, when have I ever disappointed you?" True Master Ming Liang said with a light smile.
It was just a matter of welcoming an envoy from the Immortal Realm—a minor affair.
True Master Ming Liang’s master’s elder laughed and said, "Indeed, you are indeed the most outstanding disciple of Qingxu Temple in countless years, and it is because of you that many Qingxu Temple elders in the Immortal Realm have undergone earth-shaking changes. Ming Liang, let me tell you, Emperor Yu holds a high status in the Immortal Realm, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with closely following Emperor Yu."
"The disciple understands," True Master Ming Liang nodded.
"Master’s elder, do you know how powerful the envoy from the Immortal Realm will be?" True Master Ming Liang inquired.
The master’s elder contemplated for a moment then said, "Ming Liang, even I can’t be certain how powerful the envoy from the Immortal Realm will be. Because breaking through the barriers of the two realms to create a temporary passage is already incredibly difficult. The more stable the passage, the higher the power of those who can pass through it."
"Ming Liang, in our eyes, breaking the spatial barrier seems like an unbelievable task, but for top-tier beings like Emperor Yu, we cannot fathom the extent of their Divine Skills. It’s possible for them to break the spatial barrier. However, I think the passage that forms will not be very stable, so it’s unlikely that experts on the level of Profound Immortals can get through," the master’s elder speculated with uncertainty.
True Master Ming Liang nodded.
He understood that the higher the power one possessed to cross the barriers between the two worlds, the more stable the required passage needed to be. And the more stable the formation of the passage, the more difficult it was to create.
And for a supremely powerful expert to try and pass through an unstable passage, the unstable corridor wouldn’t be able to withstand it and would—collapse! And the expert would then be trapped in the crevice between the two worlds, torn to pieces by the energy of the spatial rifts.
...
The killing between the Independent Immortals and Independent Demons had temporarily ceased, and the whole Tenglong Continent entered a brief period of peace. Whether it be Independent Demons, Independent Immortals, or the Dragon Clan, they had all received transmissions from the Upper Realm, each indicating that their respective envoys would soon descend.
Envoys from the Upper Realm, representing the experts of the Upper Realm—how could their strength be ordinary?
