To be honest, when the Frost Monarch said that Wang Wu’s strength was insignificant, he really felt a rush of hot blood.

But in the end, he chose to remain silent and accepted the Frost Monarch’s arrangements for him.

However, the Frost Monarch still wasn’t at ease.

"You need to swear to me by your Path of Deceit that you won’t cause more trouble."

Wang Wu laughed upon hearing this.

"Come on, boss, you know this is my Path of Deceit, how can you believe the vow of a deceitful person? Or do you have some way to believe it?"

Yet the Frost Monarch seemingly had a way, stepped forward without a word, covered his mouth, and transferred something unknown to him, then sneered,

"Little thing, I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"

"This is a Two-Hearted Immortal Gu that I separated early on from an unknown Gu Immortal of the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance, just for fun during cultivation. Now it has been infused with my Path of Sincerity, so I know exactly what you are thinking. If you dare to play tricks with me, I can play you to death!"

Though what the Frost Monarch said was full of killing intent, Wang Wu was still savoring it, yet he couldn’t control the sadness in his eyes, because after this parting, he feared he would never see the Frost Monarch again.

In the world, only Qingxue remains, without the Frost Monarch.

He wasn’t thinking there was anything wrong with this, but people are not plants, who can be emotionless?

"I’m sorry, you should open your mind a bit, you’re an Old Demon, yet still tangled in such romantic entanglements. If it were me practicing the Path of Heartlessness in my early years, I would have chopped off your head swiftly! Rest assured, I am still me, just consider it as losing a clone."

The Frost Monarch still managed to smile, then waved a hand, tightly binding Wang Wu with dozens of Immortal Talismans, sealing all possible means for him to escape.

Finally covering him with a black cloth, it’s unknown what method was used to send him away.

Only then did the Frost Monarch, originally with a bright smile, drop into a state of desolation, standing dazedly for a moment, and sighed softly,

The sadness of parting like this, it has been a long time.

"So do you really like him?"

A gentle voice arose, it was the Fake Primordial Spirit, the Frost Monarch’s mother, who had been temporarily residing with Wang Wu!

"Mother, why would you ask a mortal question, could you confirm that what I just sent away was Wang Wu’s true self?"

The Frost Monarch quickly regained composure.

"Oh? Can’t you determine whether it was his true self?"

"I can, but I have to play it safe. Although this kid pursues the Path of Deceit, sometimes when he’s sincere, he’s no different from me, and precisely because of this, I’m more concerned about him playing tricks on me. I’m afraid he really likes me, but he should love Qingxue, not the Frost Monarch."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, Divine Thought Perception sometimes deceives you, but the resonance of the Path does not."

"Alright then, I’m certain that that was indeed Wang Wu’s true self. Even though I’ve had several dozen jars of Drunken Immortal Wine, I’m not confused about major events. Can I leave now? I can’t tell you some of Wang Wu’s secrets, as per the rules." The Frost Monarch’s mother laughed heartily,

"So this time, when he went to observe at the Profound Celestial Sect, his gains should have been considerable, right?"

The Frost Monarch suddenly asked.

"Naturally quite significant, you should have guessed that he secretly learned the Tier Four Foundation Establishment Array of the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch. However, just how much he gained specifically, I am not quite sure."

Upon hearing this, the Frost Monarch couldn’t believe it, eyes wide with a flash of anger on her face.

"Damn! So this Wang Wu is fake!"

"Wait, daughter, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"What nonsense, he just used a fake clone to deceive me, although there’s no evidence, I am sure of it."

"Impossible!" the Frost Monarch’s mother was very unconvinced.

You must be kidding, for an experienced Fake Primordial Spirit with a high Divine Soul Level like her, switching things under her nose would be absolutely impossible.

"Nothing is impossible, I can believe other things, but about this, Mother, you are wrong." The Frost Monarch was more certain.

"So what then, why? You must give me a reason."

"Does one need a reason to like someone?"

"Don’t brush me off with mortal rhetoric!"

The Frost Monarch’s mother was very angry, but now she believed the Frost Monarch’s feeling.

This feeling of being deceived made her want to immediately go and beat up that little bear cub.

"Simple, I said it, it’s the resonance of the Path, what he said before, it was actually true..." The Frost Monarch seemed a bit dazed.

"What did he say?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Nothing!"

"You little girl, playing mysteries with your old mother! Speak up! You should have time to catch him now, he should still be in Cyan Frost City!"

"Too late."

"What exactly is he intending to do?" The Frost Monarch’s mother seemed very frantic, but the more she was like this, the more she was trying to cover up, the Frost Monarch did not speak again, are you both trying to deceive me together? Teaming up to deceive me!

Already a Taiyi True Immortal, still acting like a mortal?

Why not just treat it as if a clone was the one who died?

The Frost Monarch recalled Wang Wu’s earlier silence, as if he had already guessed how she would choose.

He even gave up trying to persuade.

So what exactly is he trying to do, is an answer still necessary?

Really, as childish as ever!

The Frost Monarch gave a silent smile, feeling an inexplicable mix of bittersweetness and warmth in his heart.

Without paying heed to her mother’s protests, he packed her off as well, sending her to Qingxue at the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower.

She still had to carry out the previous plan.

Just like that.

No one would change it.

If anyone dared, bring it on!

Meanwhile, the Frost Monarch’s mother sighed softly, knowing this was all she could do for her daughter.

Yes, without her cooperation, how could Wang Wu possibly play tricks and deceive a Tier Eight Taiyi?

This young man is really remarkable.

——

At the same time, in Cyan Frost City, Wang Wu turned into dust, approaching the Nine Heavens Passage where some Taiyi True Immortals from other forces were queuing, with many goods waiting to be transported.

As a crucial hub connecting the Outer Heaven and the Cultivation Realm, this was the core business of the Hidden Origin Association’s profits.

The Frost Domain’s price to maintain this core business was not insignificant.

For example, such high heavy taxes—now requiring an annual submission of six hundred Great Cold-Crying Birds or equivalent Fire Spirit Guards.

An example of overburdensome taxes being harsher than tigers!

Who knows how the Frost Monarch managed to endure it all these thousand years?

Fortunately, the head of the Nine Heavens Passage had now changed to Zhuang Bufei and Feng Muhai, while Qu Shenglian and Lu Wuchang led the Spirit-Catching Ship mission.

With key figures involved, the Frost Monarch should get some respite.

Yet the situation in the Outer Heaven grew increasingly tense, with war against the Dubhe Immortal Alliance on the verge of breaking out.

This was why, after patiently communicating with his mother-in-law, Wang Wu decided to proceed.

Stop with the nonsense about the Frost Monarch and Qingxue being the same person.

He’s not madly in love, but rather considers various factors, thinking the Frost Monarch is too pessimistic about the future, given there are still 50,000 years, and the future has variables, why easily give up?

The Frost Monarch is the main figure; even if wounded, she’s on the verge of entering Taiyi Ninth Tier, the most likely to step into half-step Daluo among their group, and not her father.

Thus, Wang Wu believes that both publicly and privately, they need to make an effort.

Just like wanting a son to excel, it might be more convenient to wish for the father to excel.

Now he’s aiming for "wife’s success", eating this soft meal with dignity, pride, and finesse!

Therefore, he must go to the front lines, to the Outer Heaven.

Although the Frost Monarch considers his comprehensive strength currently at Taiyi Fifth Tier.

In the upcoming war, he wouldn’t be much of a help.

But his greatest advantage now is being a better assassin, gathering intelligence, assassinating important enemy targets, and incidentally, honing combat skills.

Just like now, Wang Wu quickly selected the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Alliance’s group, lightly landing a few meters behind a Taiyi Sixth-Stage True Immortal on a large box.

He couldn’t get any closer.

In truth, his Level 27 Passive Concealment and Level 3 Forgetfulness were already struggling in such a setting, able to deceive temporarily, but not forever.

Had it been a thousand years ago, he’d be discovered in less than thirty seconds or trigger a faint early warning of unease, a prelude to exposure.

But now, Wang Wu could silently, utilizing the evolution of the Pale Fire, hide inside this box filled with goods.

Indeed, this box, appearing only five cubic meters outwardly, contained within a mountain spanning several thousand miles.

This Qiankun Box, stronger in defense than the Qiankun Bag and a standard for traversing the Nine Heavens Passage, akin to a container.

Its defensive measures were based on the Three Calamities Evolution.

One could forcibly break it, but it would trigger an alarm.

However, mastering the Three Calamities Evolution, even just one, could easily slip inside.

Normally, this power belonged to Taiyi Ninth Tier, or even half-step Daluo; as Qingxue was currently in seclusion at the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, cultivating the Three Calamities Evolution.

So it’s quite safe in reality.

And this was Wang Wu’s confidence.

He couldn’t lay everything bare to the Frost Monarch, for she cultivated the Path of Sincerity, unable to keep secrets.

Though to uncover this secret, one must first guess his relationship with the Frost Monarch, ask the right question for her to answer.

The likelihood was minimal, yet precaution was necessary, and small details couldn’t be overlooked.

Moments later, the box slightly vibrated, passing inspection, entering the Nine Heavens Passage, a process quite stringent, with the passage having its powerful detection methods. If Wang Wu wasn’t inside the box, even as dust, the Nine Heavens’ transport limit would trigger a warning, plainly revealing an intruder.

Like the elevator limit, seeming to accommodate one, yet overloaded, sparking suspicion in all observers.

Before long, the box vibrated again slightly; Wang Wu knew they had arrived at the Outer Heaven.

Yet he didn’t intend to emerge but waited patiently for the box to be opened.

Simply put, skilled individuals roam the world with confidence.
