In the eyes of most people in the True Martial Realm, the Secular Realm is just a forgotten place where spiritual energy is scarce.
The only reason for the Worldly Realm’s existence was because it served as a prison for sealing the Shura Mother Immortal.
But in fact, after tens of thousands of years of development, the meaning of the Secular Realm has long since become more than that!
“Gentlemen, there are some things that I think it would be better to say.”
Seeing those other sect heads, all of whom were already discussing how they were going to bring their armies to kill into the Secular Realm, Zhang Zhenkun had no choice but to speak up.
When the crowd heard this, they all quieted down and looked at Zhang Zhengkun.
Zhang Zhengkun continued, “I think everyone’s understanding of the secular world may be a bit off from the truth, so I need to say something. In fact, the secular world nowadays is not quite the same as what everyone imagines. Although there is no mistake that there is still a lack of spiritual qi in the secular world, but in the absence of spiritual qi, extremely advanced technological means have evolved in the secular world!”
“Technology?!”
Those paladins were all stunned.
Most of them had basically never been to the Secular Realm, so they didn’t have any understanding of this term.
“That’s right, technology!”
Zhang Zhengkun nodded and continued, “Moreover, through those cutting-edge technologies, the secular world has also possessed super weapons that belong to them, some of which can even destroy a heaven and earth in a matter of moments, and are definitely no less powerful than the might of a Golden Immortal!”
“What?!”
The crowd was stunned and drew a breath of cold air backwards.
In their perception, the secular world was synonymous with backwardness and incompetence, and in their eyes, people in the secular world were just like ants.
But they had never imagined that even the ants now had weapons that could destroy them!
At this moment, a sect leader suddenly thought of something and said, “Even if the secular world does possess such advanced weapons, what can they do, they don’t even have the ability to enter the True Martial World, so how can they bring their weapons to us? At most, it would just destroy that side of their world, right?”
Many people looked as if they had come to a sudden realization.
However, without waiting for the crowd to discuss it, Wu Yonghui, who was at the side, spoke up, “I think that we have indeed underestimated the abilities of the secular world. Since people from the True Martial Realm have a way to enter the Secular Realm, then naturally people from the Secular Realm also have a way to enter the True Martial Realm!”
When Wu Yonghui said this, the crowd was stunned.
But then, the one who had spoken before gave a bitter laugh and said, “Island Master Wu, Pavilion Master Zhang, I don’t mean to raise any bar, I just think that we are not too high on people from the secular realm, how do we know that people from the secular realm, must have that kind of ability?”
The crowd was also skeptical, and they all felt that they were not overestimating the people of the secular world.
In the face of the paladin’s query, Wu Yonghui, however, smiled faintly.
“Of course I know, because, I am someone from the secular world!”
Wu Yonghui said unapologetically.
“What?!”
The crowd was stunned and filled with disbelief.
And without waiting for them to say something, they only heard Luo Wanqiong, who was at the side, also said immediately afterwards, “Me too!”
The crowd looked at Luo Wanqiong, and their eyes were about to fall out.
At this moment, they couldn’t even say the words of awe anymore.
It was because all this was really too shocking for them.
They had originally thought that people from the secular world were very incompetent, but now, these two sect leaders standing in front of them were claiming to be from the secular world, and this was too great a shock to them!
At this moment, they heard Zhang Zhengkun, who was standing at the side, say, “In fact, you should also know that Yuan Qianshan’s eldest disciple, Chen Lingjun, the eldest senior brother of the Shura Palace, is also from the secular world! Therefore, I think that all of you should first discard your prejudices about the secular world in order to act in a more secure manner!”
At this moment, the crowd was speechless.
Now, they had all realised how foolish their previous contempt for the secular world had been.
Seeing that the crowd had accepted the fact that the secular world was very strong, Zhang Zhenkun continued, “In fact, even if the secular world is not that strong, it is not wise to enter it directly by using this kind of war! Putting aside the moral aspect, has everyone forgotten that the Heaven’s Gate Forbidden Law?”
Hearing the words Heaven’s Gate Forbidden Law, the crowd present frowned, an incomparable look of scruple surging onto their faces.
They were all in the True Martial Realm, so how could they not have heard of the Heaven’s Gate Forbidden Law.
According to the Heavenly Gate Prohibition Law, no one from the True Martial Realm was allowed to cross the Heavenly Gate and enter the secular realm on their own.
If they dare to do so, they are in violation of the Heavenly Dao and the entire True Martial World will rise up against them!
This was not the most scary thing for the crowd, what really scares them is the one who made the laws of the Heavenly Gate!
At this moment, Zhang Zhengkun continued, “Everyone should be aware that the Heaven’s Gate Prohibition Law was originally formulated by the Holy Hall! All of the thousands of sects and clans in the True Martial World have signed the Heaven’s Gate Prohibition Law and approved it! If a few of us were to pass through the Heavenly Gate at random and break the Heavenly Gate Law, the Holy Church might turn a blind eye. But if we were to lead an army into the secular world, I’m afraid the Holy Church would have a different attitude, right?”
When the crowd heard this, they were all awakened by a sudden realization.
Yes, a few people passing through the Heavenly Gate and an army of hundreds of thousands passing through the Heavenly Gate were two different concepts.
If they were to lead an army into the secular world, they would be blatantly violating the laws of the Heavenly Gate and would be slapping the Holy Church in the face, and the Holy Church would not stop so easily!
Although the True Martial Alliance had a large number of people on their side, they were all very clear about what the word Holy Church meant.
Right now, they were still far from being able to confront the Holy Hall!
“In that case, wouldn’t we have to watch as the Shura Palace just gets away with it?!”
Those sect masters were all resigned.
“Pavilion Master Zhang, in your opinion, what should be done about this matter?”
Many of the Patriarchs wanted to seek Zhang Zhengkun’s opinion.
Amongst the three sect leaders of True Martial Arts, Yuan Qianshan was a rebel and Luo Wanqiong was a bit young, and Zhang Zhengkun was the only one with the most leading style.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhenkun said: “Nowadays, this matter can no longer be rushed. Since we can’t take a drastic step, we have to make a fine needle.”
Zhang Zhenkun wanted to solve the problem in the most direct and brutal way possible, but the reality of the situation simply did not allow him to do so.
“A fine needle and a fine strand? Can Pavilion Master Zhang give more details?”
Most of those sect masters were a bit confused by Zhang Zhengkun’s words.
I only heard Zhang Zhenkun explain, “Regarding the Shura Palace’s Tongtian Tower plan, I have already told you all about it before, and I think you should all remember it. The plan of the Shura Palace is to build one hundred and eight Heavenly Towers in the secular world, in order to create an unprecedentedly huge Heaven and Earth spell formation as a way to unseal the Shura Mother Immortal!”
“Since we cannot directly strike at the Xiu Luo Palace now, then we will find a way to stop the establishment of these Heavenly Towers, in which case, we will at least be able to prevent the Xiu Luo Palace’s plot from being put into action!”
Hearing Zhang Zhengkun’s plan, the sect heads nodded their heads in agreement.
They all knew very well that this seemed to be the only feasible solution for them right now.
“In addition ……”
After a pause, Zhang Zhengkun continued, “I think it is necessary for us to inform the Holy Hall about the Shura Palace and see what their attitude is!”
“This ……”
Once Zhang Zhenkun said this, the crowd present were instantly quiet.
The people were all very clear about how terrifying the Holy Church’s strength was.
In the eyes of these sect leaders, the Holy Church was both as awe-inspiring as the gods in heaven and as frightening as Hades in hell.
How could they dare to deal with such an existence, which was both revered and feared, when they really avoided it?
To put it bluntly, if they wanted to meet the saints of the Holy Church, it would be like ordinary people in ancient times wanting to go to the imperial palace to sue the Emperor, it would be as difficult as climbing to the top!
What’s more, they knew very well that one of the Saints in the Holy Hall was on the side of the Shura Palace.
If they went there, it would be like running into the enemy’s gun, which was extremely dangerous!
Naturally, Zhang Zhengkun could also see the worries of the crowd, so he said, “Don’t worry, I will do a good job of communicating with the Hall of Saints!”
When the crowd heard this, they all let out a sigh of relief.
“Pavilion Master Zhang is worthy of being a strong person who has crossed the tribulation, his vigour makes us admire him!”
“We are ashamed of ourselves!”
Those palace masters said with arching hands.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Zhang Zhengkun was also very helpless.
He didn’t want to be so bold, but the key was that no one else was willing to carry the burden!
However, Zhang Zhengkun had long been dissatisfied with the Holy Church in his heart.
Although the Holy Church was powerful, and the rules they set were sometimes useful, their attitude in handling matters was somewhat biased.
This could be seen in the way they had treated their master ancestor Mo Cangdou.
There was also the matter of the Shura Palace’s constant desire to resurrect the Shura Mother Immortal, which was already almost universally known throughout the True Martial World.
But the Holy Hall acted as if they had never heard of it, completely ignoring it.
This time, while the True Martial Alliance had abided by the Heavenly Gate’s Forbidden Law, the Shura Palace had already violated it, and according to the rules, the Holy Hall, as the author of the Heavenly Gate’s Forbidden Law, should have taken action long ago.
But now, there was no movement from the Hall of Saints.
But Zhang Zhengkun was sure that once the True Martial Alliance dared to make any move against the secular world, the Hall would definitely take action.
Therefore, when it comes to dealing with matters, the Holy Church is not fair at all, and more often than not, it follows their mood!
