Chapter 1861: Old Friends Reminded About the Past (1)
The demons retreated, and so did the humans.
Only a portion of the human powerhouses remained in the Ninefold Mountains. These people were people whom Li Lingtian knew or was familiar with.
Li Lingtian asked Perfected Wu Hua and the others to wait at the eastern peak of Ninety-Layered Mountain while he greeted the people he was familiar with and reminisced about the past.
Li Lingtian reminisced with everyone for a full hour. There were former members of Sky Cloud Sect and his former rivals from Qing Zhou. However, Li Lingtian had long forgotten about them. Due to his current status and position, he was indifferent to the past.
There were also some acquaintances from Cangzhou, Cangnan Region, Tianhe Saint City, and former subordinates and acquaintances from Xuanzhou.
Although these people were not important in the past, Li Lingtian’s cultivation base was now at the Demigod’s Peak Perfection. Even though his cultivation base was higher, his old friends had decreased one by one. Hence, he had a different kind of feelings for these acquaintances.
"Take these things."
"Don’t stop. Try your best to fly into the Immortal Realm and find a safe place to cultivate."
"The Devil Race is not something you can deal with now. Whether you have any achievements in the future will depend on your luck. I hope that I can see you again in the future."
"If you can still survive after the war, come and find me. At that time, I will grant you a lifetime of glory."
Li Lingtian took out some treasures and wealth, elixirs, Spirit Stones, cultivation techniques, Divine Abilities, and skills for these people. There were only about three to four hundred people left behind.
Everyone was given some wealth to ensure that they would not have to worry about cultivation resources in the future.
If it wasn’t for the invasion of the Devil Race, he could have sent these people to the Immortal Realm or even to the Nine Heavens Divine City. However, now that the Devil Race had invaded, he didn’t have the time to go to the Nine Heavens Divine City at all.
Therefore, he could only give them abundant resources and leave the future to them.
If they could survive after the war, it would be their lucky chance. At that time, they would be sent to the Nine Heavens Divine City to cultivate, which would ensure their safety for the rest of their lives.
"Thank you, Lord Ling Tian."
"Lord Ling Tian, take care."
Everyone had obtained an astonishing amount of wealth. Their expressions kept changing as they felt excited.
It was indeed a blessing to be able to meet Li Lingtian in the face of the Demons.
With these resources, he could escape to the Immortal Realm and find a safe place to cultivate. After the war with the Devil Race ended, either the Devil Race would destroy the Divine Martial Continent or the experts of the Divine Martial Continent would expel the Devil Race. Only then would the outcome be known.
Li Lingtian then watched as these people left in their spaceships.
Only when everyone had disappeared from his sight did he regain his senses.
Huangfu Yuyan and the others knew what Li Lingtian was thinking. They were the same. The higher their cultivation base, the fewer their family and friends they had. This was the rule of this world.
" That’s right. You’ve grown up after decades. "
Li Lingtian turned around and happened to see Qing Yun and Qing Ling.
His gaze swept over Qing Yun. After not seeing him for decades, Qing Yun was already a Martial God powerhouse now. He was completely a stable overlord.
He had truly grown up in the past few years in the Black Continent.
"Thank you for your guidance, Young Master."
Qing Yun bowed to Li Lingtian and said happily.
He was the overlord of the Mystic Continent, but all of this was bestowed upon him by Li Lingtian. Furthermore, his sister whom he cared about the most had attained the Demigod Realm’s Peak Perfection and stood at the top of the Divine Martial Continent.
Li Lingtian was still his brother-in-law, but he could not change the way he addressed Li Lingtian. As long as they had a good relationship, the way he addressed Li Lingtian was not important.
"Qingqing, you’re still so rude in front of your elders."
Li Lingtian smiled helplessly when he saw Xuanyuan Qingqing talking to his parents with a mischievous expression. He treated Xuanyuan Qingqing like a treasure.
"Uncle, I’m just happy."
Upon hearing Li Lingtian’s words, Xuanyuan Qingqing immediately let go of her mother and came to Li Lingtian’s side. She spoke in a coquettish voice as she held Li Lingtian’s hand with her little hand, looking like a spoiled child.
"Senior Sister Yingyue is indeed the Queen’s disciple."
"You’re becoming more and more like a queen."
Li Lingtian looked at Li Yingyue with a smile. This Li Yingyue was Shun Mei ’er’s Third Senior Sister and the Queen of the Queen’s Palace.
It was also because Shun Mei ’er had become the queen of the Queen Palace, which had a deep influence on this senior sister.
After greeting Shun Yu and Zhou Tian, Li Lingtian asked Shun Mei ’er to bring Zhou Tian and the rest to rest at the peak of the Ninefold Mountain before he flew toward the Eastern Peak alone.
This Eastern Peak was the territory of the Floating Cloud Valley. The other experts were also waiting for him here.
There were still some things that needed to be taken care of. If he didn’t take care of them, it would have a huge impact on the future.
Under the management of the disciples of the Floating Cloud Valley, the eastern peak of the Ninth Level Mountain had turned into a fairyland in a few decades. If it weren’t for the arrival of the Devil Race, no one would be willing to leave this place.
Li Lingtian arrived at the Drifting Cloud Hall on the East Peak. Perfected Wu Hua and a few other Demigod powerhouses, as well as powerhouses from the Qingyang Sect and Can Yang Valley, were waiting for him.
"Greetings, Lord Ling Tian."
Upon seeing Li Lingtian’s arrival, all the Powerhouses stood up and saluted him with utmost respect.
This was the Divine Martial Continent. Li Lingtian’s strength and cultivation base were beyond their reach. Naturally, he was respected. Furthermore, Li Lingtian had just saved them.
"Have a seat."
Li Lingtian walked straight to the main seat of the Drifting Cloud Palace and sat down. With a wave of his hand, he gestured for the powerhouses present to take their seats.
" Fortunately, Lord Ling Tian came here. Otherwise, everyone in Cangnan Region would have been destroyed by the Devil Race. "
"Three years ago, I received news that Lord Ling Tian had entered the Gate of Destinies. I didn’t expect Lord Ling Tian to come here so quickly."
Perfected Wu Hua had the same cultivation base as Li Lingtian but the difference in strength was not small.
It could be said that even a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand Perfected Wu Hua would not be Li Lingtian’s match.
Naturally, he understood the gap between him and Li Lingtian. In Li Lingtian’s eyes, his strength was negligible.
After witnessing Li Lingtian’s strength, he was filled with admiration. He could not be envious of Li Lingtian’s cultivation level because it was a person’s innate talent.
He had always been curious about Li Lingtian entering the Gate of Destinies. Even if the Gate of Destinies opened again, it would have been four months ago. This time, the Gate of Destinies was in the west of the Celestial Realm, which was hundreds of millions of miles away from Cangnan Region. Even if they flew non-stop, it would take several years.
He began to tell Perfected Dongling that Li Lingtian would rush over and that they only needed to stall for time. It was also to comfort himself as he knew how far the Celestial Realm and the Cangnan Region were.
However, he never expected Li Lingtian to show up at such a crucial moment.
"I did enter the Gate of Fortune."
" At that time, the three Demon Emperors and 200 Demigods at the peak of the Demigod Realm tried to destroy it, but they failed in the end. "
" What’s even more shocking is that the devil race has already infiltrated the human race. The most mysterious expert of the sage realm is actually a devil emperor super expert. "
" Fortunately, I’ve obtained a good fortune. Otherwise, all the people in the Divine Martial Continent who have obtained a good fortune would have been killed by him. "
"After I came out, the space was torn apart and countless living beings disappeared. I and the other experts were almost torn apart and destroyed."
" After I returned to the peak of Lingfeng Mountain, I learned about the changes in the Divine Martial Continent and the demons in Cangnan Region. I rushed here immediately. Fortunately, I arrived in time. Otherwise, Cangnan Region would be finished. "
" However, we still have to give up on Cangnan Region. "
Li Lingtian took a cup of fragrant tea from a Drifting Cloud Valley disciple. After taking a sip of the tea, he told them about the Tianwang Island at a moderate pace.
The experts present were all trustworthy, so he naturally wouldn’t be stingy to say these things.
Everyone in the Drifting Cloud Palace was shocked when they heard Li Lingtian’s words. Although Li Lingtian spoke in a casual manner, they were terrified.
The three Demon Emperors and two hundred peak Demigod Realm Perfected Cultivators were helpless against thirty-three Divine Martial Continent powerhouses at peak Demigod Realm Perfected. Li Lingtian was still in the later stage of the Demigod Realm at that time. How terrifying was that?
However, they looked at Li Lingtian in confusion when they heard that he wanted to leave Cangnan Region and give it up. After all, the only thing left in Cangnan Region was the Ninefold Mountain.
The Ninefold Mountain was a holy land in Cangnan Region. If it was occupied by the Demon Race, this place would become a Demon Territory. Moreover, there were many secrets about the Demon Race here.
"Give up Cangnan Region?"
Everyone looked at Li Lingtian.
He did not know why Li Lingtian would give up on Cangnan Region.
Cangnan Region can’t be defended. "
" Let alone Cangnan Region, I’ll give up even Dongluo Region, Tianmu Region, and even the Immortal Realm. "
" In the Divine Martial Continent, other than the Immortal Realm, there is no other place that has the strength to resist the Devil Race. There is no way to fight against the Devil Race. Instead of courting death in these places, it is better to gather our strength and fight the Devil Race for real. "
" Humans, we can’t let all the low-level warriors fall, because these people are the future of mankind. We must preserve the low-level warriors and disciples, and use the powerful ones to fight the demons. "
" Low-level martial artists and disciples are simply courting death against the demons. This time, the demons are determined to destroy the Divine Martial Continent. Therefore, either the Divine Martial Continent wins this battle, or the demons unify the Divine Martial Continent. "
" No matter what the outcome is, the Divine Martial Continent will regress by thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years. If the Divine Martial Continent wins, countless experts will die, and there will be very few left. The low-level disciples and warriors are the future of the Divine Martial Continent. "
Li Lingtian looked at the crowd. He was not going to listen to their confusion since they were not at his level.
Furthermore, he had the Five Elements Sacred Body and was at the peak of the Five Elements. He was in control of the heavens and the Dao, and he had comprehended the vast starry sky. His knowledge was no longer limited to the Divine Martial Continent, but had reached another level. Therefore, his comprehensive view of things was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
This battle was between the supreme experts of the Destruction Devils and the humans. Low-level experts would be sending themselves to their deaths if they joined. It would be completely useless. If the supreme experts were to fall, and there were no low-level disciples to continue the future, the Divine Martial Continent would really be finished.
