1529 The Ultimate West Demon League’s Invasion

Chu Yunfan had declared a three-month seclusion and announced that he would not meet with anyone. This caused quite a stir in the Imperial Capital. Chu Yunfan’s departure was a shocking statement. It was clear that he was no longer just the number one expert in Great Wei, but the number one expert in the world.

Countless powerful figures of Great Wei wanted to meet him, but they were all stopped at the door. Even when the new emperor came to visit, he was still barred from entering.

This seclusion was extremely important to Chu Yunfan. Therefore, whether it was the emperor or the current minister, King Chu, they were all stopped outside the door and could not meet Chu Yunfan. The two most powerful people in the court were stopped, so the others naturally had nothing to say.

The waves caused by Chu Yunfan’s return finally calmed down.

For his seclusion, Chu Yunfan went into the Mountain River Diagram. He didn’t know what was going on outside. In front of him, the Nine Heavens Small Rejuvenating Pill lay quietly in a jade box. He broke the enchantment in the jade box and a shocking medicinal aura spread out. It became stronger and stronger as if the pill was reviving. He did not hesitate and immediately swallowed the pill.

The Nine Heavens Small Rejuvenating Pill immediately turned into a powerful medicinal energy that spread out in all directions, spreading through his limbs and bones. It was like a huge dragon that was about to rush out of his head and scatter heaven and earth. The medicinal efficacy of this pill was shocking.

Boom!

Chu Yunfan immediately sealed every pore in his body to prevent the medicinal aura from leaking out. He allowed the medicinal energy to cleanse his cells. He was not in a hurry to break through. This time, he not only wanted to complete a breakthrough but also lay a solid foundation.

The next step was to reach the Core Form Stage. The Void Core Stage was called Void Core because it only formed the phantom of a golden core in the body. At the Core Form Stage, one had to condense this illusory core into a solid core until reaching the final Golden Core Stage. This golden core was where a martial art practitioner’s life lay. As the saying went, once a Golden Core was formed, one’s life would be in their own hands.

For the later stages of cultivation, the Core Stage was a very important stage. It was a stage where one could truly lay a solid foundation. With the memories of the Alchemy Emperor, Chu Yunfan knew how important this stage was. It was the beginning of the true step toward transcendence.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to break through. Instead, he worked on laying a solid foundation. Only then could he walk further in the future, walking further than the Alchemy Emperor.

Cultivation knew no time, and in the blink of an eye, time passed. While Chu Yunfan was in seclusion, trying his best to strengthen his foundation and breakthrough, three months passed in the blink of an eye. Autumn arrived, and the world was filled with a somber atmosphere. In the capital of Great Wei, pedestrians were walking in a hurry. Everyone’s faces carried a solemn and worried expression.

At this moment, on the long street outside the imperial advisor’s residence, squads of imperial guards had sealed off the entire street. The imperial advisor’s residence occupied one side of an entire street.

At the entrance of the residence, a young man dressed in military attire was rubbing his hands together and pacing back and forth. It was the leader of the scions of Great Wei, Chu Hongcai, the heir of King Chu.

Chu Hongcai was pacing back and forth in front of the residence, but he didn’t dare to step in. Not long after the imperial guards sealed off the area, a huge carriage pulled by nine white imperial horses arrived at the entrance of the residence, surrounded by a large number of attendants and soldiers.

A figure jumped down from the carriage. It was the emperor of Great Wei, Wei Wuji.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.” Chu Hongcai hurriedly bowed to Wei Wuji.

“Stand up,” Wei Wuji said anxiously.

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Chu Hongcai said.

“What’s going on? Has Master Chu come out of seclusion yet?” Wei Wuji sounded anxious.

“Not yet,” Chu Hongcai reported, “There’s a barrier outside the entire residence. I can’t enter.”

“What do we do then? The kingdom is in danger,” Wei Wuji said gloomily.

“Brother Fan said that he’ll come out of seclusion in three months. He should be coming out soon,” Chu Hongcai said.

“I hope so. You should know the current situation at the border. The defense line has collapsed. King Chu went there to reorganize the defense line, and so has my great-uncle. But now, there’s even worse news. Jinzhanghan is taking advantage of the Ultimate West Demon League’s invasion to seize control.”

Wei Wuji couldn’t contain his anger when he thought of this. He did not expect that in just three months, the situation would have become so bad. The border guards at the Western border were unable to withstand an all-out attack from the demon alliance. In just a month, they had captured more than half the territories at the western border.

Wei Wuji recalled that all of this had started about three months ago when the Ultimate West Demon League suddenly launched an attack. The border guards, who had not experienced a real large-scale war for many years, could not withstand a single blow. The defense line that had been built over the years had collapsed. Even the Monster Subduers guarding the Western border had been captured. Large numbers of sects on the western border had been captured and uprooted.

The endless army of monsters swept over like a tsunami. Wherever they passed, no humans or animals were left behind. Everything was turned into ruins. These monster armies were not purely killing, but hunting for food. All the humans and creatures they saw were devoured by these monster armies.

Although most of the residents of Great Wei had martial arts, they had no way to resist the endless tide of monsters. In just a few short months, the demons had conquered more than half of the western border. According to this trend, it would not be long before they would invade the hinterland of the Central Plains. At that time, it would be a true disaster.

At this dangerous time, Jinzhanghan in the north suddenly sent a large army to invade the northern border. They had been eyeing the northern border like tigers eyeing their prey.

At this moment, Wei Wuji truly understood what it meant to be a leaking house meeting the rain. Although he had been reorganizing the Imperial Court, he had only ascended the throne recently and had yet to completely control the entire court. If he was not careful, the entire world would fall apart.
