Chapter 478 Countermeasures
Seeing that Zhao Wuji, a powerful expert at the Celestial Realm, was powerless against the power of the Demonic Sect, Lin Fei was quite moved. It should be noted that this was only because the power of the Demonic Sect was sealed. If the power of the Demonic Sect had not been sealed, a Celestial Realm expert would have lost his life instantly in the face of this power.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Wuji's hand had been corroded into bones, and those bones began to shatter, seemingly about to be corroded by the power of the demonic sect until not a trace remained.
Seeing this, several elderly people nearby said at the same time, "Brother Wuji, that's enough. If this continues, it may damage your health!"
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji sighed softly and quickly withdrew his hand from the Demonic Gate. Due to the seal outside the Demonic Gate, the Demonic Gate power that had been clinging to Zhao Wuji's palm like a leech was completely removed and blocked inside.
Cultivators at the Celestial Realm not only possess incredibly strong physical bodies, but also have exceptional regenerative abilities. Even if they lose a hand or foot, or even their head is severed, they can recover in a very short time as long as their spiritual energy is not depleted.
However, after Zhao Wuji withdrew his hand from the Demonic Sect, his palm did not recover for a long time, as if an invisible force was preventing his palm from recovering.
Seeing this, Lin Fei couldn't help but ask, "Senior, are you alright?"
“It’s alright!” Zhao Wuji shook his head and said, “Although the power of this demonic sect can prevent the physical body from recovering, the erosion I have suffered is not deep. As long as I spend more time, I can recover to my original state.”
At this point, Zhao Wuji's expression became extremely solemn: "Your Majesty, you have seen it with your own eyes. This demonic power can not only corrode the physical body, but also spiritual energy. More importantly, this power can also prevent the cultivator's body from healing. This thing is simply a monster born to eliminate cultivators. If it breaks through the seal and spreads to the outside world, it will be a catastrophe that could wipe out all of humanity."
As soon as he finished speaking, all five elders at the Celestial Realm on the Island of Saints, including Zhao Wuji, bowed to Lin Fei and said, "We beg Your Majesty to help us seal the Demonic Sect once again and save the world from suffering!"
The people on this Island of Saints, whether they are the human saints of the Middle Ages or the current successors of the saints, whether they are experts at the Celestial Realm or students with lower cultivation levels, have all dedicated themselves to saving all living beings and striving for their survival.
This has remained unchanged from the Middle Ages to the present day.
Lin Fei had personally participated in the ancient saints' raid on the Demon Palace, so he had no objection to cooperating with them again. However, the Demonic Sect did not seem easy to deal with. Even the ancient saints, at the cost of their lives, could only add another layer of seal on top of the Demonic Sect's original seal.
The seal that already existed above the Demonic Gate, according to Lin Fei's observation, was definitely laid down by a powerful being far superior to himself. Even such a seal could not completely seal the Demonic Gate, so how easy would it be for Lin Fei to seal it completely?
At best, the best-case scenario would be to reinforce the seal once more, just like the ancient sages. However, those ancient sages were numerous and each possessed extraordinary cultivation; they even sacrificed their lives to reinforce the seal. Lin Fei didn't believe that with his current strength, he could do better than those ancient sages.
Lin Fei quickly helped the elderly men who were bowing to him to their feet: "Seniors, there is no need for such formalities. I am the King of the Southern Tang Kingdom. If the power of this demonic sect spreads across the land, the people of my Southern Tang Kingdom will be the first to suffer. If there is a way to reseal this demonic sect, I will naturally not refuse."
Lin Fei frowned as he looked at the eerie demonic gate: "But the power of this demonic gate is so strange, and it can even corrode the spiritual power of cultivators. Even the ancient saints sacrificed their lives to reinforce the seal. With my cultivation level, I'm afraid I can't guarantee that I can deal with this demonic gate."
Lin Fei wasn't a hypocrite. If there were a way to seal this demonic sect, he would naturally be willing to contribute his efforts. However, if he were to sacrifice his life like the ancient saints to seal this demonic sect, Lin Fei asked himself if he was noble enough to do so.
The elders naturally understood the meaning behind Lin Fei's words, and Zhao Wuji quickly said, "We will certainly not ask His Majesty to sacrifice his life to seal the Demon Sect. Such an absurd request, even if His Majesty agrees, I'm afraid the entire Southern Tang Kingdom will not agree to it."
He raised his hand and pointed at the pillars of light left by the ancient sages: "Your Majesty, look at the seals left by these sages. We only need to strengthen them, and we do not need to apply new seals. At the same time, with Your Majesty's imperial dragon energy, we can create another dragon vein to suppress it. Although it will damage Your Majesty's vital energy, it will not endanger Your Majesty's life."
By reinforcing the original seal and constructing a dragon vein using the Emperor's dragon energy, the power of the dragon vein, combined with the original seal, could stabilize the seal outside the Demonic Sect once again. Zhao Wuji's suggestion was indeed a good one.
Lin Fei's bottom line is that he will not sacrifice his life to seal the Demonic Sect. As for losing some vital energy, he can accept that. Lin Fei also knows that it is impossible to reseal the Demonic Sect without any sacrifice.
Simply reinforcing these sacred seals is no easy task.
Looking at the pillars of light, Lin Fei pondered, "Just reinforcing the seals on these pillars would probably exhaust the spiritual energy of a Celestial Realm expert. With the strength of just the few of us, it would probably take at least a year and a half to completely reinforce all the pillars."
Each of these pillars of light was constructed by the ancient sages at the cost of their lives. Just reinforcing them would probably require a Celestial Realm expert to exert all their strength. And even a Celestial Realm expert, if their spiritual power were completely drained, would probably need about half a month to fully recover.
Currently, even including Lin Fei himself, there are only six experts at the Celestial Realm here. It would probably take a year and a half to completely repair these dozens of light pillars.
Not to mention that they will need to use the Emperor's Dragon Qi to reshape a dragon vein. By the time all of this is done, the seal outside the Demonic Sect will likely have already been broken.
