729 The Truth About the Opening of the Immortal Forbidden! (3)

“Even if you don’t seize them, you can use a similar method if it proves to be safe. After all, the Immortal Arts Hall won’t run, and there isn’t only one palace.”

Old Master Seventh was always steady in his actions. Xu Qing had known this before. Now that he heard these words, he agreed even more and felt that he had learned a little more.

The captain felt some regret but didn’t dare to refute. However, he more or less felt that the older the old man got, the more timid he became.

After retrieving the immortal art, Old Master Seventh didn’t stay here. He brought Xu Qing and the captain away from the Immortal Arts Hall. As they walked out, flesh grew back around the temple under the permeation of anomalous substances.

Within moments, the bloody flesh face that had dissipated in pain and distorted reappeared. It stood there and opened its mouth, as though it was letting out a soundless wail.

Looking at the face, Old Master Seventh lifted his head and looked at the pitch-black sky that was like a mirror. After a long time, he slowly spoke.

“It shouldn’t be long before the Red Moon awakens. The two of you probably won’t obediently return to the location of the army. Forget it, there are still many mystical opportunities in the Immortal Forbidden. Be careful and don’t be too radical.”

“I’ll be leaving to make some arrangements.”

“After you guys explained your plan to me last time, I secretly investigated this matter. After combining it with my analysis, I have made some guesses.”

When Xu Qing and the captain heard this, they immediately listened attentively.

This was especially so for Xu Qing. He really wanted to know the inside story of the opening of the Immortal Forbidden. He really couldn’t understand the purpose of opening this place at this time and feeding the sleeping god to Red Moon.

Red Moon was the god of the Black Heaven Race. Now that the Black Heaven Race was fighting against the human race, Xu Qing’s most direct feeling was that they wanted to curry favor with the Red Moon by offering sacrifices to It at this moment.

What was the point of doing this?

Due to not having enough information, it was like there was fog in front of him that hid everything.

“Master’s guess is?” Xu Qing asked.

Old Master Seventh stared in the direction of the core of the palace clusters in the distance, his eyes filled with profound meaning, and spoke in a deep and solemn tone.

“This matter is unlikely to be the personal action of the Seventh Prince. Although he is a prince and has numerous powerful individuals by his side, with a formidable army at his command, it may seem glorious on the surface. However, the Emperor is still in power and in his prime. Rumors speak of his formidable methods and ambitious aspirations. Even if these are just rumors, there is no smoke without fire. At least for now, the human race is still far from the competition for the throne.”

Old Master Seventh’s gaze became increasingly deep.

“However, this Seventh Prince is also ruthless and decisive. Regardless of his methods, the ultimate result is that he successfully resolved the crisis of the Imperial City being besieged by the Black Heaven Race and various other factions. This has brought some relief to the situation in the Imperial City.”

“This outcome is advantageous for the Human Emperor and the human race. Even if there were sacrifices and hidden implications along the way, they are not important compared to the overall situation. The greater good takes precedence!”

“However, everything has a bottom line. For example, the Immortal Forbidden is related to the gods, so it’s impossible for the Seventh Prince to make a decision by himself.”

“Therefore, the opening of the Immortal Forbidden is a decree of the Human Emperor. The Seventh Prince is only executing it!”

“With this understanding, the fog can be cleared to some extent.”

Old Master Seventh’s calm voice echoed in Xu Qing and the captain’s ears. The captain seemed to have understood and Xu Qing fell into deep thought.

“If you stand in the position of the Emperor and look at the overall situation, you will realize that what the Human Emperor desires most at present is undoubtedly related to war. Whether it is ending the war or achieving victory in the war, everything revolves around war.”

“Then what can he do to end or win the war?”

Old Master Seventh’s eyes revealed a dark glint, as though it contained eternity.

“It is to possess a regional war artifact!”

Old Master Seventh’s voice was resolute.

“But that alone is far from enough. Behind the Black Heaven Race stands the Red Moon deity. Through the communication and invocation of all the high priests of the Black Heaven Race, with sacrificial rituals, there is a probability that they can summon the projection of the Red Moon.”

“So, the first step is to obtain a regional war artifact that can deter the enemies. However, the second step is to find a way to prevent the Red Moon from descending.”

“Then, how can we stop the Red Moon from descending?”

“Since the human race cannot control the Red Moon and cannot simply rely on passive bargaining with It to determine the fate of the entire race, there will be no trade-off. So, how can we prevent It from coming or delay Its arrival for a very long time?”

Old Master Seventh looked at Xu Qing and the captain.

“Make the Red Moon unable to descend due to accidents, such as putting it to sleep?” Xu Qing suddenly asked. The captain at the side also spoke at the same time.

“Every time I eat too much, I want to instinctively fall asleep to digest the gains…”

After the two of them finished speaking, their eyes widened at the same time. It was as though lightning was rumbling in their minds and they both gasped.

Old Master Seventh smiled, his eyes revealing wisdom.

“This is just one piece of evidence, and we cannot be certain that it is indeed the case. Therefore, we need to analyze this matter from another perspective as well.”

“For example, when the Human Emperor is contemplating the answer and the war situation has just eased, he chooses to open the Immortal Forbidden and actively assists in the awakening of the Red Moon parasitizing Zhang Siyun.”

“What you saw before was obscured by mist. Due to the nature and understanding of the god’s finger, It saw Its main body was about to be devoured. However, in reality, Its statement itself has revealed the answer.”

“Xu Qing, you’re still young after all. Even if your thinking is meticulous, there are still areas where you may overlook certain things.”

Old Master Seventh stared at Xu Qing and spoke earnestly.

When Xu Qing heard this, many thoughts rose in his mind. He carefully recalled the words of the god’s finger and suddenly spoke.
