My Wife Might Be a Saintess
Chapter 163 - 162: Sweet Potato: Its Master Is Courting Death
The massive explosion caught everyone off guard. Almost no one knew what had happened.
But deep within the Holy Land, the higher-ups quickly received a report.
"I’ve sensed it. The great momentum of heaven and earth is approaching. If this continues, something terrible will happen." The ordinary-looking woman then asked the noblewoman, "Didn’t I mention before that there were unusual disturbances in many places outside the Holy Land? You didn’t investigate?"
The noblewoman shook her head. "I was held up by the matter with the Ghost Cultivators."
Yue Xi asked, "So, this was the Ghost Cultivators’ true objective all along? How did they manage this? If they had a Tier Seven Daoist, they wouldn’t need to resort to such a troublesome method, would they?"
The old crone said, "This isn’t the time to discuss that. We need to find a way to dispel this great momentum."
The ordinary-looking woman asked, "But how do we dispel it? Should we ask *them* for help?"
The old crone shook her head. "They won’t be moved."
The old crone then looked at Yue Xi. "Do you have any more news from your side? That person knew one set of coordinates; he must know a second. Is there a way to contact him directly? Ask for anything you need.
The Yue Lian Holy Land is not stingy."
After a moment, Yue Xi shook her head. "He hasn’t given any indication, but his side told us to wait for news."
The ordinary-looking woman asked, "Who is this person, exactly? How does he know so much about this? If he’s a Tier Seven Daoist, why isn’t he taking action himself?"
The old crone shook her head. "Don’t let your limited perspective blind you to the awe of the great thousand worlds. The three thousand great Daos are but a number; the world is full of endless wonders.
Perhaps some people with fortuitous encounters don’t need to hear the Dao to enter the Dao to understand the great momentum."
Jiang Zuo was indeed not Tier Seven, nor had he entered the Dao.
Even with the memories of his past life, he couldn’t truly perceive the shifts in the great momentum.
But he had Sweet Potato.
Right now, Jiang Zuo was heading for the next core of the great momentum, but halfway there, Sweet Potato suddenly let out a cry. "SQUAWK?"
Jiang Zuo frowned. "It’s gone?"
Sweet Potato shook its head, then pointed in another direction and squawked, "SQUAWK."
"It moved?"
Sweet Potato nodded. It felt this was illogical.
Although it didn’t know what constituted logic, it just had that feeling, which was why it had been confused a moment ago.
Jiang Zuo stopped. He took out a map, spread it on the ground, and sneered. ’So you want to play games? Let’s see how long you can keep control.’
From the moment the great momentum started moving erratically, Jiang Zuo knew it was being controlled.
If that was the case, then playing a game of cat and mouse was pointless.
Initially, Jiang Zuo had intended to understand the great momentum, which was why he had attacked its key points, not the area directly above the core.
But since the enemy wanted to play cat and mouse, he might as well just treat them as human opponents.
’How does one predict a person’s actions?’
Jiang Zuo chuckled.
Then, Jiang Zuo called Xiao Xiaomo. "Remember finding people by flipping a coin?"
Xiao Xiaomo said excitedly, "Understood! I’m ready."
She had connected not only with Chi Xue Child and the others, but also with the Holy Land.
And the Holy Land had been waiting for a long time.
Jiang Zuo looked at Sweet Potato. "Location."
Sweet Potato immediately pointed to a different spot. The great momentum was constantly changing its position.
Jiang Zuo then tossed a coin. All he needed to do was confirm the core’s exact location and then calculate the great momentum’s key nodes.
Then, attack.
The coin landed. "Coordinates: XXX, XXX, XX."
The Holy Land received the message at the same instant and attacked that location without a moment’s delay.
BOOM!!!
This attack seemed to make the very heavens and earth tremble.
The invading great momentum was severely damaged.
Deep within the Holy Land, the old crone was utterly shocked. She had just seen it—in the instant before the attack, the great momentum was nowhere near the Array’s target location.
But the moment the attack arrived, the great momentum seemed to have delivered itself right to their doorstep.
’How is this possible?’
’Did the enemy do it on purpose?’
She then asked Yue Xi, "Ask her. How exactly is he confirming the location?"
Hearing this question, Xiao Xiaomo didn’t hide anything. Instead, she said excitedly, pausing after each word, "Flipping... a... coin."
’Be shocked! Tremble! Despair!’
That was exactly how she had felt back then. It had completely shattered her worldview.
’This world is simply unbelievable.’
When the people of the Holy Land heard this, none of them could believe it.
’Flipping a coin?’
’Deciding something like this in such a childish way?’
’This has to be a joke, right?’
But the old crone believed it. She felt like she was going insane. This world was too crazy.
Then another set of coordinates appeared. They attacked again, and again they hit their mark.
Once again, it was as if the enemy had deliberately served itself up on a silver platter.
It was almost too much for the old crone’s heart to bear.
’How on earth is he doing this?’
’Could such a thing really exist under the heavens? Has my own perspective also been clouded by the years?’
While the Holy Land was reeling in shock, everyone within the great momentum was equally stunned.
Within the great momentum, there were indeed Ghost Cultivators—or rather, most of them were Ghost Cultivators.
"What the hell is going on? Why is this happening? Are you all insane? Rushing up there just to get killed?"
"No, it’s like they know where we’re going to appear next. It’s as if they’ve foreseen everything."
"If this continues, the plan will fail. What’s the status of the second plan?" the leader asked.
"The second plan is in place. The third plan is underway and almost complete."
"We’ll risk it all! Seize the items from the ritual, consequences be damned! Capture the Saintess and the Candidacy Saintess. If we fail, tell those people that the third plan will support the second."
If all three plans failed, they would likely all be wiped out.
Then, the great momentum of heaven and earth stopped evading and charged directly toward the ritual site. They were now making a desperate, life-or-death gamble. Barring any surprises, their plan was perfect and absolutely guaranteed to succeed.
Or so they believed.
Meanwhile, in the Forbidden Land, the young girl watched the great momentum with a cold gaze.
"Daring to covet the thing in there... just how many lives have they borrowed? A bunch of fools who know nothing of true power."
But Jiang Zuo didn’t care what these people were trying to do. He only knew that if this continued, Su Qi would be in danger.
’They dare to touch Su Qi?’
’Ignorant mortals. Fools with no reverence for power.’
Sensing the great momentum charging straight for him, Jiang Zuo hung up the phone.
He didn’t need the Holy Land anymore. Although he didn’t know how the enemy was controlling the great momentum, that was not how it was meant to be used.
Jiang Zuo then began to draw upon the power of the Array. He didn’t need to enter it, nor did he need much power—just enough to execute his technique.
The enemy also had some understanding of the great momentum. Wherever it passed, winds churned and the earth shattered. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
The previously invisible great momentum began to take on a discernible outline.
And Jiang Zuo stood alone before it, intending to block the great momentum of heaven and earth all by himself.
Sweet Potato, however, was scared to death. The great momentum of heaven and earth felt like an endless mountain range crashing down. Being so sensitive to it, the creature couldn’t even stand steadily.
Only it understood just how terrifying the great momentum of heaven and earth truly was.
Its master was courting death.
