Chapter 209: Grinding the heart in good times, living the heart in adversity
Before, Zhou Yan was at the request of Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, Ao Yan, the Dragon King of the West Sea, and Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, and he originally had the same idea, so when he decided to subdue the land of the Four Seas under the push of the boat, Zhou Yan had already thought of the consequences that might happen in the future.

Even at that time, he didn't know that the Beiming Sea belonged to the territory of the demon master Kunpeng, and the invasion of the land of the four seas was also from the hands of this Kunpeng, who had once served as the demon master of the Ancient Demon Court, but to be able to have such a big appetite and want to swallow up the land of the four seas in one bite, it would not be too small to think about it.
Although, Zhou Yan had long thought of the counterattack he might encounter in the future, but what Zhou Yan didn't expect was that the Demon Master Kunpeng's reaction would be so fast, and the attack would be so powerful.
In just over three days, the demon master Kunpeng had already sent people to his Huaguo Mountain, wanting to wash Huaguo Mountain in blood, make himself look good, or give himself a lesson that he will never forget.
Of course, if Zhou Yan knew that among them, the Peng Demon King also made a great effort, it is estimated that Zhou Yan would not let the Peng Demon King run away so easily before, at least let the Peng Demon King suffer a little.
If it weren't for the fact that after the Peng Demon King returned to the Demon Master Palace, he deliberately exaggerated the influence caused by Zhou Yan in front of the Demon Master Kunpeng, the Demon Master Kunpeng would not have reacted so quickly.
After all, the powers of the realms that have reached the quasi-saint realm, in such a huge Three Realms pattern, are actually more about planning and then acting, more of a calculation in their hearts, and rarely take action in person.
Because, in the case of the Three Realms Saints, each quasi-saint power represents absolute force, absolute power, and is the core figure of a force, and there is also mutual restraint between different quasi-saints and quasi-saints, and each quasi-saint has a microcosm of power behind him, and there are very few quasi-saint powers alone, so every quasi-saint power will not make a move easily unless it is necessary, because once he makes a move, it is very likely that the rest of the quasi-saint powers will take advantage of it.
Moreover, because after reaching the quasi-saint realm, there is very little in the world that can move the heart of the quasi-saint power, unless it is the position of a saint.
Therefore, even Zhou Yan later knew in his heart that behind the invasion of the land of the Four Seas was actually the rebellion of the demon master Kunpeng, but Zhou Yan also thought that the demon master Kunpeng would not react so quickly, which was one of the reasons why he would easily leave Huaguo Mountain and go to the Red Blood Cave Mansion in the southern frontier.
It's a pity that Zhou Yan forgot that not everything is set in stone, and not everything will turn with his mind, and the unknown is the real direction of the future.
Because he didn't know the friendship between the Peng Demon King and the Jiao Demon King, he ignored the role of the Peng Demon King in front of the demon master Kunpeng, so Huaguo Mountain would suffer this catastrophe.
However, fortunately in the midst of misfortune, Zhou Yan still came back in time at the last moment, prevented the tragedy that might happen, and even captured the original Demon Master Palace, one of the eight fierce venerables.
Since this battle, in the hands of Zhou Yan, the Eight Fierce Venerables of the Demon Master Palace have completely become the Six Fierce Venerables of the Demon Master Palace, I really don't know what kind of reaction the Demon Master Kunpeng will have when he learns the news.
However, it was precisely because of the reaction of the Demon Master Palace this time that Zhou Yan finally made up his mind to brush the beard of this quasi-saint power.
At this time, the development of Huaguoshan's forces has entered a bottleneck period, although it has already annexed the land of the four seas, but it is only the Dragon King of the Four Seas who surrendered to him under the persecution of external forces, and he refused to force them too tightly, and in addition to the land of the East China Sea, the rest of the land of the three seas is just beyond the reach of Huaguoshan's position, in this case, Zhou Yan still let them maintain the measures of water autonomy.
In other words, in addition to the land of the North Sea and the land of the West Sea, which are still being rebuilt, both the land of the East China Sea and the South China Sea are still in their original state of governance, but there is just an existence of their own above them.
In fact, when the Jade Emperor sat in the Heavenly Court in the past, it was for the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court, the Dragon King of the Four Seas had nominally surrendered to the Jade Emperor, and now it was just a change of master, which actually had little impact on them.
Of course, Zhou Yan never regarded the land of the Four Seas as his own territory in his heart, and regarded them as the existence of a vassal state, at least for now, as for the future, he can only see how the situation changes.
Maybe one day in the future, the land of the Four Seas under the rule of the Dragon King of the Four Seas will really become a part of the territory of Huaguoshan's power, rather than a vassal country attached to Huaguoshan's power, but that is also a matter for the future, not something that is considered now.
Today, Zhou Yan's real team is still the Huaguo Mountain Demon Clan, and it is still the land of tens of thousands of islands radiating around Huaguo Mountain as the center.
Therefore, the current Huaguo Mountain forces have actually shown a bottleneck state, and there is no place to expand outward, and the entire high-level combat power of Huaguo Mountain is now in a very stable and scattered state, if it weren't for this encounter, probably the entire demon clan on Huaguo Mountain would still be idle all day long.
This is also one of the reasons why most of the high-level combat forces of Huaguo Mountain are now practicing in retreat, and in essence, it is just because there is nothing to do, and in the absence of action, all they can do is retreat and practice, in order to hope to increase the realm.
Although there are many magical spells in this world, it is still the world of martial arts, the practice of martial arts, in motion, although there may be some gains in meditation, there are also some geniuses who can gain a thousand miles in meditation.
However, the gains obtained in this way are not maximized, nor is it the mainstream, there are thousands of ways to cultivate, and there are thousands of ways to practice, but the foundation of the cultivation of the martial arts of the Three Realms still lies in the comprehension in battle.
Zhou Yan is like this, Jiao Demon King is like this, and Jiugong Zhenren is also like this, dry meditation is always just a helpless move.
Under such circumstances, in addition to the fact that the demon master Kunpeng touched Zhou Yan's reverse scales this time, Zhou Yan decided to shift the attention of the demons in Huaguo Mountain to the Demon Master Palace in the depths of the Beiming Sea.
When a person has a goal, then he has the motivation to move forward, and when a person's goal is too strong, then he will have a sense of oppression.
Although the catastrophe that Huaguoshan suffered this time is not a good thing, it is not in vain to change the concept that it is beneficial to Huaguoshan.
Born in sorrow, died in peace. People are often in good times, will gradually lose the enterprising spirit they should have, only the predicament can make all living beings wake up in their hearts, with this catastrophe, most of the demon clans on Huaguo Mountain should recognize their own strength, with a sense of tension, there is naturally a desire for progress.
In the development process of Huaguo Mountain in this more than 100 years, the development is really smooth, so smooth that all the demons have gradually lost their motivation, and they have begun to become content with the status quo, otherwise, in these years, it will not be so that the cultivation of the demons has not grown almost a little.
Looking at the entire Huaguo Mountain forces, from the Gouchen Palace landing on the top of Huaguo Mountain, until now, for more than a hundred years, the only people who really cultivated and improved were those who Bai Jingjing brought out from Huaguo Mountain before, overcame thorns in the Three Realms, and established the Listening Wind Pavilion, and on Huaguo Mountain, only Xiao Wei let himself step by step into the realm of the Innocent Golden Immortal because of the cold ice and hell in his body.
As for the rest of the demon clans that were already in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, a hundred years later, they are still in the same realm as before, and their former strength has not changed at all, which makes Zhou Yan have to be a little helpless, but even if Zhou Yan is the lord of Huaguo Mountain, as their lord, it is impossible to force them for no reason, let them seek battle and pursue improvement.
It was precisely because of such a number of reasons that a decision emerged in Zhou Yan's heart, that is, to start a war against the Demon Master Palace.
Since, now there is already a conflict between Huaguo Mountain and the Demon Master Palace, and it is an almost irreconcilable conflict, then Zhou Yan should have prepared early, he didn't pay attention to it in his heart before, but now that they have been knocked on the door, it is naturally impossible for him not to take it to heart.
Rather than being passively affected by the enemy, always worrying that the Demon Master Palace will not know when to come to the door again, it is better to take the initiative to attack, in order to master the fighter, as the so-called, the first strike, the second to the people, and also take the opportunity to mobilize the enthusiasm and combat ability of the demons in Huaguo Mountain, so that they are not only comfortable and smoothed out their claws.
It's just that even if you want to take the initiative, you need countermeasures, and the Demon Master Palace has the Demon Master Kunpeng, a quasi-saint who was famous in the primeval era, so Zhou Yan had to be cautious.
It is already impossible to go to Lion Camel Ridge before, or to go deep alone like Beihai Dragon Palace.
There is only one demon master Kunpeng, in front of Huaguo Mountain, it is an insurmountable mountain, Da Luo Jin Immortal against the quasi-saint, what is the result, once in front of Zhou Yan, the fate of the Jade Emperor has explained this truth to Zhou Yan very well.
Therefore, Zhou Yan decided to let the Jinpeng Demon God sneak into the Beiming Sea in advance, touch the details of the Demon Master Palace, and have some clarity in his heart, so that he can have a suitable plan for the Demon Master Palace.
As for why the Jinpeng Demon God should be allowed to go, instead of letting others or the secret outpost of the Wind Pavilion go to investigate, first, because the Jinpeng Demon God has the fastest speed in the world, among the demons in Huaguo Mountain, in addition to himself, only the Jinpeng Demon God has a strong polarity and can come and go freely in the Beiming Sea, and the second is because the Red Blood Cave Mansion and his party, the inside of the Wind Pavilion has now shown clues that cannot be ignored, and it needs to be rectified, so it is not suitable to go.
