Chapter 2326
An aged and icy voice, like ancient ice, echoed from the depths of the first line of defense, carrying the lingering power of the Great Emperor's Dao patterns, piercing through the void and landing on every warship.
Upon hearing this, Zi Chen, Jue Wuqing, and all the other Immortal Kings and God Kings instantly suppressed their smiles, their expressions becoming extremely solemn.
They simultaneously formed hand seals, causing their immortal energy to surge, and the protective array on the outer layer of the warship was suddenly activated, radiating a dazzling Daoist aura.
Subsequently, over a hundred divine warships of the Dao followed the lead warship and sailed into the pass of the first line of defense in an orderly manner.
Out of the corner of his eye, Jue Wuqing noticed that the younger generation of the Holy Land in the Flame Dragon Realm were all glancing at Zi Chen with strange and curious eyes, and he couldn't help but smile secretly.
Hey, who would have thought that Zi Chen, who is usually so arrogant, would have a day when his persona collapses?
Having been known as a "madman" in the Yanlong Realm for many years, Zi Chen's title of "Gambling King" is likely to spread far and wide throughout the Yanlong Realm with the help of Chen Xuan's generation.
Thinking of this, Jue Wuqing felt a strange, exhilarating joy welling up inside him.
Zi Chen, with his keen perception, instantly noticed Jue Wuqing's gloating gaze, and then caught sight of the gossip in the eyes of Chen Xuan, Zi Xia, and the others. He immediately cleared his throat and spoke with righteous indignation:
“You are all successors of the great holy lands, and now that you have stepped into the first line of defense, there is nothing to hide from you.”
Upon hearing this, Dao Yi, Chen Xuan, Xuan Ye, and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise—was this about to drop a huge bombshell?
"Hmph, do you think being the Lord of the Holy Land is so easy?" Zi Chen raised his eyes to look at the first line of defense that stretched across eternity and was extremely majestic in front of him, his tone heavy, "Such a vast line of defense, how could it be built so easily?"
"Even a Great Emperor would have to empty his coffers to build such a magnificent defensive line in a short time. We are merely Immortal Kings. How could we possibly sustain the resource consumption of a Holy Land for millions of years without the means to do so?"
As Zi Chen spoke, his gaze shifted to Chen Xuan and Lu Xueqi, and then he changed the subject:
"During the ranking battle, did you really think that the Madman didn't compete for Lu Xueqi's peerless holy body because he had a good relationship with the Yao Guang Holy Lord? Or that the Heartless Holy Land was so powerful that it looked down on the Innate Yin Yang Holy Body and the Nine Aperture Exquisite Heart?"
At this point, Jue Wuqing shook his head and sighed, adding, "Without a supreme being in charge, a so-called holy land can only cultivate a maximum of six top-tier holy sons within an era."
"Over the years, what have the eight sect leaders of our holy lands been doing, shamelessly guarding the first line of defense? Isn't it all for the sake of competing for resources and accumulating wealth?"
"I'm good at crafting puppets to sell for resources; Zi Chen is skilled at gambling and opening betting platforms for profit; Dao Yi, Jiu You, and Yao Yu are good at crafting and selling pills; Jiu Qu and Yao Guang haven't produced any extraordinary geniuses in previous generations, but they're still quite wealthy. Now, you should understand, right?" Jue Wuqing's voice carried a hint of helplessness.
Chen Xuan, Dao Yi, Xia Jiuyou, Huang Quan, Tian Mang, Lu Xueqi, Qingxia, Xuan Ye, and others were already the designated successors of their respective holy lands. These words were undoubtedly a huge shock to them.
In short, the Holy Land Lord, revered by the entire realm, harbors countless untold hardships and predicaments.
After listening to their elder's heartfelt complaint, the eight junior celestial beings, all looked solemn, feeling an increased pressure on their shoulders.
"Hahaha, why bother telling you kids this?" Jue Wuqing suddenly laughed and waved his hand. "These troublesome things will naturally give you a headache when you reach the Immortal King realm. There's no use thinking about them now."
As Zi Chen steered the divine warship of the Dao slowly through the defensive line, he pondered for a moment before solemnly giving his instructions:
