Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear
Chapter 553 - 522: A Day Tour in Outer Heaven
Wang Wu listened in the shadows and couldn’t help but click his tongue in astonishment.
This Tianshu Divine Monarch is really going all out, daring to bring out a Tier Four Foundation Establishment Array just to defeat the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch. In a Cultivation Realm that’s completely stratified, this is asking for big trouble!
So at this moment, Wang Wu was not thinking about how to use this matter to launch a counterattack, or to assassinate this Younger Brother Zhao, or covet the Tianshu Divine Monarch’s Tier Four Foundation Establishment Array to blow up the Nine Heavens Passage of the Hidden Origin Association.
He only felt that this matter was very dangerous!
Because the current Cultivation Realm really can’t be understood by common sense.
This Cultivation Realm is like a big table; those who can sit at the table to eat are fixed, or have worked incredibly hard to get there through normal rules and channels.
Then, apart from them, everyone else is just food on the table.
Now, the act of the Tianshu Divine Monarch is akin to flipping the table, or sawing off one of its legs!
"It shouldn’t be! As a competitor of the same level as the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch, Tianshu Divine Monarch couldn’t possibly be unaware of the consequences, yet he still did it."
"The fact that I encountered this matter now is no coincidence, which only means one thing: Tianshu Divine Monarch is really casting a wide net!"
"I have a bad feeling about this!"
Wang Wu had developed a strong sense of crisis over here, while over there, that Senior Brother Gu was truly persuaded, or rather, who among the True Immortals at the Taiyi Seventh Tier could resist such temptation?
You, these Daluo and Half-step Daluo, can be replaced, a great man should be like that!
Indeed, who wouldn’t have this thought?
Wang Wu didn’t feel tempted or have any ideas because he already had a Tier Four Foundation Establishment Array.
Otherwise, given the chance, he really would dare to try!
Moreover, this is Outer Heaven, essentially a lawless land, not within the Cultivation Realm, so why be afraid? At worst, he could become a Wandering Taiyi!
Such a small risk is nothing!
In no time, that Senior Brother Gu was swayed.
"How can I be sure the Tier Four Foundation Establishment Array you’re offering is real? And I’m very suspicious, isn’t your method a bit too crude? It’s hard for me to believe, is your Dubhe Immortal Alliance trying to harm me!"
"Hehe, everything Senior Brother Gu said, I admit, but precisely because of this, it has a special effect. On other days, who would dare believe it, even I wouldn’t dare believe it!"
"Moreover, Senior Brother Gu is the first Chief of the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Alliance in Outer Heaven, overseeing all affairs. For tens of thousands of years, there hasn’t been a major mistake or oversight, isn’t that enough to prove Senior Brother Gu’s cautious nature? Could it be that there is a third person in this Secret Vault right now?"
"I think, even if I said so, Senior Brother Gu would firmly deny it, because that’s equivalent to insulting your strength and meticulousness! Am I right?"
"Is there any place that could set your mind at ease more than here, Senior Brother? And I myself am a hidden member of the Dubhe Immortal Alliance lurking within the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Alliance, having been in hiding for thirteen thousand eight hundred years, diligently working over the years, neither outstanding nor mediocre. I came here to hand over the Thunderbird, who would suspect?"
"If this is considered by Senior Brother Gu as a crude method, then I would have to ask Senior Brother Gu, what would you do in my place? I’ve even exposed my identity as a hidden member, equating to having all my past efforts vanish, and I’m risking my own life for the chance to gain Senior Brother’s approval?"
"In short, if Senior Brother Gu agrees, I’ll pave the way. I don’t have the Tier Four Foundation Establishment Array myself; I don’t have the qualification to cultivate it."
"If you don’t agree, capture me immediately, I won’t resist. In fact, I’d only commit suicide to avoid further humiliation."
This guy spoke so frankly, even Wang Wu believed him, let alone that Senior Brother Gu, because he truly had complete trust in his Secret Vault.
The Myriad Phenomena Immortal Alliance’s assets in Outer Heaven, their core assets in Outer Heaven, are all here. This is the fortress he has operated for tens of thousands of years. If he doesn’t have faith in this place, where else could he have faith?
"Alright! Take me to meet the Tianshu Divine Monarch! But I only agree to meet the Tianshu Divine Monarch, I don’t trust anyone else in the Dubhe Immortal Alliance."
Senior Brother Gu said in a deep voice.
"That’s not for me to decide, but rest assured, our Dubhe Immortal Alliance will give you a satisfactory answer."
The two quickly completed an initial transaction, agreed on a time, and various security measures, then left.
The Secret Vault returned to its original tranquility.
After a short reflection, Wang Wu decided to remain and return to the Cultivation Realm.
But not to save the Nine Heavens Passage of the Hidden Origin Association, which cannot be saved. The Tianshu Divine Monarch is now like a mad dog, he might manage to save it once, but not a second time.
Does he intend to report it?
Saying he overheard someone plotting in secret, wouldn’t he be exposing himself?
Who allowed you to cultivate the Tier Four Foundation Establishment Array?
Good lord, not only have you cultivated it, you’ve even started to manifest the Three Calamities. In time, do you intend to advance to Half-step Daluo?
No one else necessary, the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch would be the first to crush him!
So, he won’t interfere. He’ll act like he never came, as if he was just on a day trip to Outer Heaven, whatever excuses will do.
He needs to take emergency precautions.
Yes, emergency precautions!
Wang Wu didn’t understand Outer Heaven, nor did he understand what kind of existence Daluo truly was, but he was very familiar with class solidification and how the beneficiaries in the upper echelons suppressed the rebel army.
Yes, if Senior Brother Gu obtained the Tier Four Foundation Establishment Array, he would be like a rebel within the Immortals, and perhaps Tianshu Divine Monarch too.
Wang Wu did not disdain them; in fact, he wanted to cheer for them loudly.
However, precisely because he was also part of the rebel army, he had also practiced the Tier Four Foundation Establishment Array, and even had gone through the Three Calamities, he truly understood that Daluo was not to be trifled with.
At this moment, Wang Wu’s thoughts of protecting the Frost Monarch vanished completely.
Being able to spend the rest of his days peacefully with Qingxue was already his extravagant hope.
It’s not that he’s cowardly, really, losing is just losing.
The nature of the situation has changed!
As long as it doesn’t get exposed, that’s fine. Once exposed, all the Daluos could get involved!
Wang Wu waited in the Secret Vault for less than two days, and that Senior Brother Gu returned alone.
It was impossible to tell if he had reached an agreement with the Dubhe Immortal Alliance, nor could one see any change in his expression.
However, after he sealed the Secret Vault and activated all sorts of complex Immortal Array Restrictions, Wang Wu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly; it seemed he was serious this time.
Next, that Senior Brother Gu took out pieces of Qilin Array Stone, skillfully setting them up into a miniature Qilin Heaven and Earth Needle. Up to this point, Wang Wu had already guessed half of the plan, and as expected, Gu then took out a particularly formidable Array Soul, which was the Qilin Array Soul.
Yes, to cultivate and deploy the Tier Four Foundation Establishment Array, one cannot do without the corresponding Array Soul. This was how Wang Wu successfully deployed it back then, so he certainly understood.
The investment from Tianshu Divine Monarch was truly significant, but then again, does Tianshu Divine Monarch have some connection with Hidden Origin Divine Monarch? Why are their methods so identical?
Or perhaps, at this level, the simplest way is often the best?
Of course, these things were unimportant. What mattered was that the Qilin Array Soul was real.
That Senior Brother Gu was genuinely about to successfully deploy it, and there would be no accidents.
Back then, even someone as insignificant as Wang Wu, with lowly power at the time, could successfully deploy it. Let alone a True Immortal at the Taiyi Seventh Tier?
No more hesitation!
While Senior Brother Gu was setting up the Five Elements Qilin Array, Wang Wu immediately slipped out, landing on an already well-sealed box, quietly conjuring Pale Fire, infiltrating through the Three Calamities’ defense, and getting inside the box to take a look. He quietly retreated and moved on to the next box, until he had inspected all five boxes and left a small loophole in each.
For he needed to identify in which box Senior Brother Gu had placed the means to blow up the Nine Heavens Passage.
If possible, he wanted to transfer the critical resources out first and create a delayed explosion; anyway, Wang Wu needed to ensure his own safety, right?
Just like this, after Wang Wu set everything up, over there, Senior Brother Gu took only one day to complete the deployment of the Tier Four Foundation Establishment Array. Yes, it was just that straightforward.
Wang Wu watched his expression, which was a mix of excitement and sorrow.
How could he not be sorrowful?
The things that seemed unreachable, dreams not even dared to be dreamt, suddenly one day, they turned out to be no big deal.
Is it difficult?
It is indeed difficult, but as long as the channels are smooth, then no matter how tough or challenging, there is always a chance.
But not like now.
Hidden Origin Divine Monarch tried five times, Tianshu Divine Monarch seemed to have tried four times, each failure was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
See how the Tianshu Divine Monarch’s Dao heart is about to collapse?
Wang Wu sighed in his heart; he could understand Senior Brother Gu’s feelings because at some time in the future, perhaps Senior Brother Gu and himself would become another Hidden Origin Divine Monarch or Tianshu Divine Monarch.
Yes, they could never obtain heavenly resources like those received by Profound Celestial Sect, nor such favored treatment like that of heaven’s chosen ones!
They had to take their family, friends, wives, children, young and old, those loyal followers, and their families.
Set up the Breaking Realm Array, as if fate was unjust, as if heaven and earth wouldn’t tolerate it, then I shall tear the heavens... oops, failed.
Failed once again, twice, three times, four times...
Slithered away, hid, found a place to lick wounds, then had to grit their teeth and start anew.
Cold or aloof, it doesn’t matter; it’s just because this is a road of no return, because everything you care about is already lost, so it doesn’t matter anymore.
No way back.
While Wang Wu thought about these things, he also realized that Senior Brother Gu was also thinking about them, and he suddenly understood why Frost Monarch felt the need to fake her death.
Because, Frost Monarch probably also knew, given the Path of Sincerity she cultivated, she either had to expose Wang Wu, gamble that Hidden Origin Divine Monarch wouldn’t find out, or wouldn’t care, or she had to switch to another path.
And her choice was—to die herself, leaving hope for the clone Qingxue and Wang Wu.
