My Wife Might Be a Saintess
Chapter 165 - 164: Elder Po Xiao, Didn’t Make It Back
Jiang Zuo was only a Tier One Cultivator; he was still insignificant before the world’s great momentum.
Even with his past life’s memories and the help of an array, he couldn’t have blocked the world’s great momentum so easily.
And dismantling the world’s great momentum was even more difficult.
The moment he made contact with the world’s great momentum, he knew that the power he had borrowed from the Holy Land Array was not enough.
So, at that instant, he borrowed even more of the array’s power.
More importantly, the array actually took the initiative to cooperate with him, helping him block all the effects of the great momentum.
The entire array seemed to come alive. At this moment, the world’s great momentum was not just facing Jiang Zuo, but the Holy Land’s Array itself.
With the array’s full support, the boundless great momentum began to seem somewhat powerless before Jiang Zuo.
Only then could the great momentum begin to dismantle in his hands.
Within the world’s great momentum, a Ghost Cultivator wore a shocked expression. ’Who is this guy?’
’Not only is he blocking our way, he’s actually dismantling the world’s great momentum. He’s practically cheating.’
"What do we do now?"
"What do you mean, ’what do we do now’?" The leader’s face was calm. "Sacrifice yourselves. Drag this guy down with us. He’s only relying on external power; he can’t escape the final annihilation. If the world’s great momentum were to be dismantled so easily, it would be a complete joke.
It’s a shame the chaos created by the great momentum is blocking our senses. Otherwise, I’d really like to see who this person is."
One of the Ghost Cultivators said, "I... I think I saw him at the very beginning. Should I draw a picture?"
The Ghost Cultivator leader: "..."
Outside, Jiang Zuo frowned.
He hadn’t expected the enemy to understand so much about the world’s great momentum.
The world’s great momentum was a peculiar existence in the world, much like a black hole in the universe—both dangerous and mysterious.
On the surface, the world’s great momentum wasn’t dangerous, but it became extremely so under certain specific circumstances.
For example, if it was forcibly destroyed.
Jiang Zuo’s dismantling was an attempt to unravel the world’s great momentum through normal means.
He had the knowledge, but not the power, so he borrowed the help of the Holy Land Array.
This wasn’t something just any array could accomplish; only an array on the level of the Holy Land’s would suffice.
However, the great momentum was now being forcibly dismantled. This would cause everything in the vicinity to collapse and be annihilated.
Jiang Zuo thought the enemy was ruthless. With such a forced dismantling, not a single person within the space of the great momentum would survive.
’What are these people after?’
As the great momentum began to come apart, Jiang Zuo stopped what he was doing. There was no longer any need to act.
But Jiang Zuo didn’t flee either. He had no escape route.
Jiang Zuo took out a coin and began walking toward the center of the collapsing great momentum.
To outside observers, the collapsing great momentum was more than just a world caving in—it was as if the very earth was sinking. It was the end of the world. Space itself had become unstable, as if it were about to be torn open.
Everything would be buried. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
It all happened too fast, so fast that no one had a chance to react.
By the time the people from the Holy Land arrived, it was all too late.
All traces of people had long since vanished from this place.
The old woman looked at the collapsing great momentum and finally said, "Protect the sacrificial site. Don’t let it be affected. I’m going in to take a look."
The Holy Land never failed to repay a kindness. The other party had done them a great service, so she had to go see for herself.
The old woman quickly charged into the collapsing great momentum, but she was forced back after just reaching the edge.
The space inside was distorting, and within that distortion, it was collapsing.
She was powerless to help.
Outside, Chi Xue Child and the others also had worried expressions.
Blade Master Hai Bian asked, "Po Xiao... he’s alright, isn’t he?"
Chi Xue Child didn’t answer. Liuyue Xue didn’t answer either. They didn’t know.
The situation was so shocking that they couldn’t bring themselves to say the words "he’s fine."
The collapse of that great momentum was the most shocking spectacle they had ever witnessed. In a collapse like that, even Tier Five and Tier Six Cultivators wouldn’t be able to survive, right?
Even a Tier Seven would have a hard time, wouldn’t they?
Then, Mo Yan returned from a distance, her expression grim. "It’s already over, and no one even told me."
Blade Master Hai Bian: "..."
’It’s only been a few minutes, hasn’t it?’
But he was in no mood to talk.
Just then, Mo Yan asked, "Do you guys think Boss Po Xiao is really done for this time? Should I make another Clothes Tomb for him?"
Chi Xue Child and the others: "..."
Finally, Liuyue Xue typed a message for Mo Yan to see: `Just post it in the group chat. Maybe Fellow Daoist Po Xiao will reply and even help you pick a spot.`
Mo Yan: "..."
Right then, their group chat pinged. It was Xiao Xiaomo: "The figure in the live stream just now... that couldn’t have been Boss Po Xiao, could it?"
Chi Xue Child replied, "It was. But the great momentum collapsed. It seems Fellow Daoist Po Xiao didn’t make it out."
Liu Yiyi: "No way, right? That video scared the piss out of some of our elders. They were even wondering when a new Daoist had appeared in the world."
Blade Master Hai Bian: "But you all know what Fellow Daoist Po Xiao’s Cultivation is. The odds are really against him."
Liuyue Xue sent a sighing emoji. "Our Cultivation is too weak, we can’t even get close to check. The world’s great momentum... it’s truly terrifying."
Fairy Mo Yan: "It’s not that scary. You have to remember, Boss Po Xiao can block a great momentum as big as the sky with just one hand."
Chu Qing: "But it seems Elder Po Xiao didn’t make it back alive."
"That’s why I’m hesitating. Should I find a spot for a Clothes Tomb for the boss first?" Mo Yan said.
"..."
The whole group was speechless.
’Why is Mo Yan so obsessed with the Clothes Tomb?’
Just then, Xiao Xiaomo asked, "The Holy Land suddenly asked if we can contact the boss who gave us the coordinates. What should I tell them?"
Chen Yi said, "Make something up. It’s your specialty. I can’t believe so much has happened before I’ve even woken up properly. Why do major incidents always happen in the middle of the night?
But aren’t you guys underestimating Boss Po Xiao a little too much?
Last time was a surefire death sentence too, and didn’t he come out of it just fine?"
He said that, but having personally witnessed the collapse of the great momentum, no one could feel optimistic.
At that moment, Mo Yan held up her phone and said, "Hey guys, do you think I should set up a Clothes Tomb for him before he comes back from the dead?"
Chi Xue Child: "..."
Blade Master Hai Bian: "..."
In the group chat, Liuyue Xue @’d Fairy Mo Yan: "Go ask for a set of Fellow Daoist Po Xiao’s clothes first."
"..." ’Where am I supposed to get them? From Po Xiao’s wife?’
Speaking of Po Xiao’s wife, Mo Yan asked, "If something happened to Po Xiao, do you think his wife knows?"
It was obvious she didn’t know. So, should they be the ones to tell her?

As for the present Jiang Zuo, he was actually quite helpless. Amidst the collapse of the great momentum, he had reached its core, hoping to find a way out.
However, he didn’t find a way out. Instead, a way out found him.
As the great momentum collapsed, the space here was subjected to immense pressure and finally began to distort.
And because the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion was located just beneath this space, the space grew fragile. When the fragile space broke, he naturally fell into the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion.
This was not a good thing at all.
If he couldn’t get out in a short time, the next time he saw Su Qi would be over a hundred years later. (Even for the current him, it would still take some time.)
If he returned late, he would very likely fall back onto the trajectory of his past life.
This was not what he wanted.
Right now, Jiang Zuo was in a vast grassland.
The Sunset Grassland. This place concealed endless Heart-piercing Snakes, a veritable grassland of death.
However, it was also the grassland he had used for training in his past life. Back then, he could traverse the Sunset Grassland at will; no number of Heart-piercing Snakes could do anything to him.
In this life, however, he was naturally not that powerful.
But he had the Heart-Piercing Wood.
’Come to think of it, my luck is really good,’ he mused. ’To think I obtained the Heart-Piercing Wood in advance.’
