The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1471 - Chapter 1471 Chapter 1569 The Time to Rise

Chapter 1471: Chapter 1569: The Time to Rise Chapter 1471: Chapter 1569: The Time to Rise Is it not the time yet?

When the Demon Beast leaders present heard this remark from the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, they were all stunned.

“Lord Demon Saint, now that the Nine Countries have been greatly weakened and various forces are vying for power, it’s the perfect opportunity for our Demon Clan to attack. How can we let this chance slip by?” said the first kneeling elder Demon Beast, emotionally.

The other Demon Beasts felt similarly incredulous due to the Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s remark that it wasn’t the time yet.

If it’s not the time now, then when would it be?

“Lord Demon Saint, we must not miss this opportunity!”

“If we do not take action now, once the Nine Countries recover, we will lose our chance.”

“Lord Demon Saint, do not hesitate, we will naturally expand our territory for the Demon Beasts, even if it means death.”

…

The Demon Beasts all urged him one after another, appearing very anxious, fearing that the Great Sage Equal to Heaven would really miss such a great opportunity.

“This saint has said, the time has not yet come, now is not the time for our Demon Beast Clan to make a move,” the Great Sage Equal to Heaven said, frowning.

The Demon Beasts fell silent, looking at each other, unsure of what to say, feeling indescribably disappointed and pained.

Clearly it was a rare opportunity, but the Great Sage Equal to Heaven said the time had not yet come, how could this convince them?

Could it be that the Great Sage Equal to Heaven has lost his former sharpness and does not dare to start a war with the Human Clan?

Or is it that the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, being a Demon Saint, is leaning towards the humans, unwilling to invade the territories of the Human Clan?

This is highly probable; the Great Sage Equal to Heaven has always had close ties with the humans. Five hundred years ago, he was sworn brothers with the Tang Emperor, and seven years ago, he took great care of a human successor and even fought many experts from the Seven Seas for this youngster.

Looking at the history of Demon Saints, there hasn’t been one who has done these things for the Human Clan.

“Lord Demon Saint, we do not understand, why do you say the time has not yet come?” the elderly Demon asked, his teeth clenched.

The other Demon Beast leaders also looked at the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, hoping he could provide a convincing explanation.

Facing the questioning of this elderly Demon and the gaze of many Demon Beast leaders, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven remained calm and slowly said, “Indeed, the time has not yet come. Although the Nine Countries are in chaos, their foundation remains. If our Demon Beast Clan acts now, there is no chance we can take down the Nine Countries, and it will only lead to heavy losses.”

“Lord Demon Saint, I am already old, with not much life left, so I don’t care and will speak directly. I believe this is an opportunity our Demon Beast Clan must seize. The Human Clan still has their foundation and strength, but our Demon Beast Clan is stronger than the Human Clan. If we seize this opportunity well, taking down the Nine Countries will not be too difficult. Some casualties are inevitable, but the Nine Countries will suffer more than our Demon Beast Clan. For the future of our Demon Beast Clan, necessary sacrifices are unavoidable, even if it means losing a large portion of our Demon Clan,” said the elderly Demon.

After a pause, he continued, “When the war against the Human Clan begins, I will be the first to go after the Three Emperors. I will risk my old life without care, to take one of them down with me. Even if I don’t manage to kill, I will severely injure them.”

“Elder Deer is right; when the war against the Human Clan starts, we old fellows will go straight for the Human Clan’s experts, fighting them to death. If we can take down even one, it’s one less for them. We want to pave the way for our successors, letting them conquer the Human Clan territories over our corpses!”

“Count me in for fighting to the death against the Human Clan experts. They occupy the best land and have the most resources; why should our Demon Beasts be driven out by them?”

…

Some of the older Demon Beast leaders spoke in succession, echoing the generous words of the Deer Demon, expressing that they would dedicate their lives for the Demon Clan.

Even a few Ancient Demons belonging to the Ancient Demon Ridge turned their gaze towards the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

“Lord Demon Saint, we do not normally have the right to speak here, but I must say that the Human Clan does not deserve to possess the vast land of the Nine Countries. They have occupied it for so many years, and now it is time for our Demon Beast Clan to reclaim this land,” an Ancient Demon said in a low voice.

Ancient Demons have a special identity; they are Demon Beasts that have survived from ancient times and followed several generations of Demon Saints. They can be considered the oldest batch of Demon Beasts among the Demon Beast Clan.

These Ancient Demons are very powerful, and because they have followed several generations of Demon Saints, they do not manage any Demon Beast tribes but only guard the Ancient Demon Ridge and protect each generation of Demon Saints. Generally, they do not involve themselves in the affairs of the Demon Beast Clan and only execute the commands of the Demon Saint.

At this moment, as the leaders of various Demon Beast groups gather here to discuss major matters with the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, these Ancient Demons do not have much right to speak.

But now that this Ancient Demon has spoken, it is evident that even the Ancient Demons believe this is an excellent opportunity not to be missed.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven looked at the speaking Ancient Demon, who was neither servile nor overbearing but met the gaze of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

“You have misunderstood my meaning. Now is not the time to act, but it will be soon,” said the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

The crowd of demons was taken aback. What did he mean by that? Now is not the time? And that it would be soon? Was there any difference?

How long is this so-called ‘short period of time’? Is it a few days? A few months? Or a few years?

All these could be considered a ‘short period of time,’ and the wounds the Nine Countries sustained from the great battle, not to mention three or five years, it would not recover even in a decade.

“Lord Demon Saint, when exactly is the right time for our Demon Beast Clan to strike?” asked the elderly Deer Demon.

“When the Pill Alliance completely collapses, when someone among the Three Emperors dies, and when Hidden Kill Hall surfaces, that is the time our Demon Beast Clan will take control,” replied the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

“What?”

The words of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven shocked all the demons.

Wait until the Pill Alliance collapses? Someone among the Three Emperors dies? Hidden Kill Hall surfaces? That will be the time for the Demon Beast Clan to take control? What is all this about?

And each of these three events mentioned by the Demon Saint would have a massive impact; any occurrence would create a sensation across the land of the Nine Countries.

At the moment, the most likely event seems to be the decline of the Pill Alliance, but looking at the current situation, even if the Pill Alliance is on the decline, it is still difficult for it to completely disintegrate.

As for the other two events, a demise of one of the Three Emperors and the emergence of Hidden Kill Hall seem even more unlikely.

What is the Cultivation of the Three Emperors? Unless the Great Sage Equal to Heaven personally takes action, how could any of the Three Emperors fall?

Hidden Kill Hall has been hidden in the shadows for many years, surviving several exterminations by various factions of the Human Clan, but it has never been eradicated and has stubbornly persisted.

Even the Demon Beast Clan is very cautious of Hidden Kill Hall; this fearsome power is always shrouded in a veil of mystery, unknown to the world.

How can such a power be forced to surface?

ps: First update, today I need to visit the traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for massage therapy, which I should have done a week ago but postponed due to writing. Now I must go; tomorrow there is a free limit, and the day after tomorrow there is a burst. On the burst day, continuous typing is necessary. Sitting for an extended period can cause significant discomfort in the cervical spine.
