Chapter 3027: Chapter 3047: A Once-in-a-Thousand-Year Opportunity for the Great Wilderness Palace

Lin Chen’s eyes scanned the table, and of the four people at this table, there was only Wang Yuan from the Human Clan, the other three were from the Demon Race.

Wang Yuan was enthusiastic, and the three demons looked on with curiosity, with no signs of wariness or hostility in their eyes. Lin Chen was not shy either, and he agreed to join them.

Perhaps these people wanted to learn about the Immortal Realm, and by the same logic, he also wanted to chat with them and find out more about this place.

Gu Qin sat down next to Lin Chen and smiled, "You’re back, is the matter settled?"

Wang Yuan sighed, "We fought a battle, but the results weren’t ideal. Both sides have temporarily called a truce, but I expect there will be more fighting to come..."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Who did you fight with? Can you talk about it?"

Wang Yuan explained with a smile, "The only opponent for the Desert People is the Demon God Temple, which has been nibbling away at the Great Wilderness Palace’s territory and seizing various resources, gradually draining our strength."

"In order to fight for cultivation resources, we inevitably have to clash with them. This time, it was over a spirit mine with huge reserves of Spirit Stones. For this mine, we have fought several times already, but neither side has managed to gain the upper hand."

Lin Chen pressed on, "Is it the people from the Demon God Temple?"

Wang Yuan clarified, "It’s a subordinate force of the Demon God Temple. The Demon God Temple does provide some powerhouses, but they’re not particularly strong."

"If it were before, we wouldn’t dare to confront them so directly, but recently there’s been the great war between the two realms. All the important forces of the Demon God Temple have been drawn away to fight in the Immortal Realm, which has lessened the pressure on our side. So, we want to seize this opportunity to contest for some territory and occupy strategic locations rich in resources."

"Now that the Immortal Demon Channel is permanently fixed, their attention is all on the Immortal Realm. It’s a rare opportunity for our Desert People that comes once in Ten Thousand Years."

Lin Chen immediately understood; this was about taking advantage of the main forces of the Demon Race being busy fighting in the Immortal Realm, while the Great Wilderness Palace sneakily stabs them in the back, right?

By this calculation, the Great Wilderness Palace is really a staunch ally of the Immortal Realm!

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Doesn’t the Demon Emperor care about what’s happening here?"

Wang Yuan laughed, "The Demon Emperor and the Great Wilderness Saint had an agreement that the Saint must not interfere in the battles between the Great Wilderness Palace and the Demon God Temple. If they dare to breach the contract, the Great Wilderness Saint will certainly not sit idly by. He might even join forces with the Immortal Emperor, and that would be a big headache for the Demon Emperor."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, "Is that really a possibility?"

A demon sitting nearby interjected, "That’s a theoretical possibility, but in reality, it’s not likely at all. The Demon Emperor won’t give the Great Wilderness Saint that excuse."

"In the Great Wilderness Palace, we fight alongside humans because, in the Demon World, we have a common enemy. But that doesn’t mean we could ally with the Immortal Realm. Once that tacit agreement is broken, the Great Wilderness Palace would face destruction."

Lin Chen quickly grasped the situation; the friction between the Demon Race and the Great Wilderness Palace is a domestic issue for the Demon Race. Skirmishes are fine, but they can’t afford to openly rip into each other. The Demon Emperor can give face to the Great Wilderness Saint, allowing them to exist and make trouble, but if they truly dare to ally with outsiders, then there’s no need for the existence of the Great Wilderness Palace, and it can be wiped out with a wave of a hand.

Lin Chen asked out of curiosity, "Can you tell me about the history between the Great Wilderness Saint and the Demon Emperor? I’ve always been curious about this."

The demon smiled, "Actually, it’s quite simple. Initially, the Great Wilderness Saint and the Demon Saint contested for the imperial throne. The Great Wilderness Saint lost by a hair, but losing doesn’t mean the Great Wilderness Saint has to bow to the Demon Saint. Especially since the Demon Saint used some tricks to win, how could that convince anyone?"

"The Great Wilderness Saint refused to submit, so naturally, the Great Wilderness Palace wouldn’t obey the Demon God Temple’s orders, thus establishing itself independently. However, after the Demon Saint won the throne and grew stronger, he was dissatisfied with our attitude and our possession of so much territory. So, he fought with the Great Wilderness Saint again."

"With the advantages of the throne, the Demon Saint won against the Great Wilderness Saint, but he couldn’t kill him. The only option was to create a contract forbidding the Great Wilderness Saint from taking action. Conversely, he and the other Saints also couldn’t act against the Great Wilderness Palace. The life and death of the Great Wilderness Palace is up to the Great Wilderness Disciples to decide."

"And after that, there’s nothing much to say, just fighting. Obviously, the Demon God Temple is stronger than us; we can’t beat them at full strength. But they also can’t go too far—if the Great Wilderness Palace were completely destroyed, the Great Wilderness Saint might intervene."

Lin Chen realized, "So, there are mutual concerns, which is why they gradually nibble away, bit by bit, weakening the Great Wilderness Palace?"

Wang Yuan sighed, "Yes, and they’ve succeeded. The Great Wilderness Palace once controlled so much territory; look how much it has now. We’ve been struggling during these past 1000 years. But with the Immortal Demon Channel now permanently established, our opportunity has come."

"Whether the Demon God Temple’s army wins or loses in the Immortal Realm, we need to take this chance to expand our territory, to secure more cultivation resources."

The Young Demon added, "If the Demon God Temple wins in the Immortal Realm, they will occupy a vast area of the Immortal Domain. More forces will enter the Immortal Realm, and the ongoing battle with the Immortal Realm means the territories of the Demon World will naturally be overlooked."

"If they lose, the Demon God Temple’s strength will also be greatly diminished, similarly leaving them without the power to restrain us, the Great Wilderness Palace. We can also take the opportunity to occupy a bigger territory."

"So, regardless of the outcome for the Demon God Temple, it’s a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for us. The Great Wilderness Palace is now fully committed to expanding its territory, and there are opportunities for commendations everywhere!"

Lin Chen pondered, "What’s the Desert People’s stance towards the Immortal Realm, towards the Human Clan?"

Wang Yuan and the others exchanged glances, and Wang Yuan said with a smile, "Although we are all Desert People, I am from the Human Clan, and they are from the Demon Race; our attitudes towards the Human Clan are naturally different."

"Of course, I hope the Human Clan can be victorious and even invade the Demon World, curbing the power of the Demon Race. The Great Wilderness Palace could rise opportunistically and possibly cooperate with the Immortal Realm, ultimately overthrowing the Demon God Temple."

"They may prefer the Demon Race to expand and occupy more of the Immortal Domain. That way, most of the Demon God Temple’s forces would move to the Immortal Realm, and we, the Great Wilderness Palace, could also occupy more territories in the Demon World."

Wang Yuan spoke quite frankly, and the few demons nodded, agreeing with his words.

Lin Chen nodded, indicating he understood.

Although they were all Desert People, they all hoped that the Desert People could gain more territory, but their methods differed.

Lin Chen then asked, "You mentioned there are battles everywhere and merit to be won everywhere; what’s the situation exactly? I’m new here and can’t return to the Immortal Realm now. I presume I’ll be staying here for a while. Any suggestions?"

Wang Yuan laughed, "You can join a team and participate in battles. During this special period, the items obtained in battle only need to be offered up in small quantities; the rest can be kept as your Spoils of War. If you achieve significant military exploits, you can even exchange them for various valuable items."

"If you’re planning to join us here, you’ll need to find a good team..."
