Chapter 1007: The White Horse Covenant!
Not only Tian Nan Old Monster, but at this moment, most of the true lords were stunned by Liu Yu's "heaven-defying speech."
The true lords all had different expressions and reacted differently.
Inside the exquisitely old-fashioned and elegant hall, a brief silence fell. The sharp-minded yuan ying true lords all did not know how to respond.
Some were shocked, some panicked, some hesitant...
"Clang!"
"Bang..."
Because they were too shocked, several nascent soul old monsters lost their composure and accidentally dropped their cups onto the floor.
What kind of heaven-defying statement was this?!
In the eyes of the true lords, Liu Yu was still so young, yet his cultivation had already reached the nascent soul late stage, and his strength had even reached the level of a pinnacle true lord. It was not strange for him to have ambitions far beyond the ordinary.
But they had never imagined that his ambitions would be this great—he actually intended to overturn the rule of the divine transformation factions!
A Purple Heaven matter?
Once they followed his lead, this would no longer be as simple as just banding together for warmth. It would mean standing in complete opposition to Heavenly Thunder Palace.
In the world of mortals, that would be an outright rebel, one who would be hunted down to the ends of heaven and earth and settled with to the very end.
If they failed, exterminating nine clans would be considered merciful!
A considerable number of the true lords who had joined the Qingyun Society only wanted to band together for warmth. They did not want to play such a huge game!
"This old man is already this old; I don't want to play this big!"
"Damn it, I fell for it! Qingyang fooled me!"
For a time, many nascent soul old monsters kept a calm expression on the surface, but inwardly they were already regretting it, even cursing angrily.
But given that skill and strength were inferior, these words could only be thought in their hearts.
Once one cultivated to golden core and yuan ying, numbers were no longer decisive. Top-tier combat power was what truly determined everything.
Yet for thirty thousand years, aside from the "Purple Heaven Divine Sovereign" of the past, only the divine transformation factions had barely managed to maintain a divine sovereign in every generation.
This was an iron rule that had persisted for thirty thousand years.
On one hand, high-grade cultivation resources in Tian Nan were scarce.
Every ten years, yuan ying forces had to offer a large amount of resources to the divine transformation factions, most of which were various high-grade resources.
Under such circumstances, a great portion of the high-grade resources flowed to the three great powers, making it objectively difficult for a "wild divine transformation" to emerge.
On the other hand, with the successful precedent of the Purple Heaven Divine Sovereign, the three great powers now guarded against such things with extreme vigilance.
They spared no effort, openly and covertly suppressing any true lord who might possibly attempt to break through the divine transformation bottleneck.
Cases like Blood Sea Demon Lord, Primordial Master, and Tian Nan Old Monster were all examples.
For instance, Liu Yu's last mission was to guard the front-line Tianyi District City, and Heavenly Thunder Palace even secretly contacted the Fire Phoenix Clan.
It was only because he had hidden many of his strengths, possessed numerous trump cards, and had invited two great cultivators to accompany him that he was able to withstand the pressure of the Fire Phoenix Second Princess, a pinnacle demonic king, and the other twenty-one demonic kings to hold the Immortal City.
Had it been any other great cultivator, they would have long since been reduced to ash both physically and spiritually!
The objective conditions did not permit it, and with the three great powers suppressing them, it was no wonder the true lords were shocked, and some even wanted to back out on the spot. The difficulty of this matter was simply too great.
