"Now, let me tell you my plan."
Everyone gathered around and stared intently at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu cleared his throat and said, "Generally speaking, the upper limit of cultivation in the human world is the Mahayana Realm, after which one will undergo tribulation and ascend to immortality. However, the Heavenly Dao Laws of this world are incomplete, so the highest one can only reach is the Nascent Soul Realm."
"That is, Yan and Heng's current actual cultivation level, while the Heavenly Dao Team's mission squads have an average cultivation level of around the Golden Immortal Realm, and they are in groups of three. So, if we face them head-on, we have no chance of winning."
"So why did they want to destroy this world?" Yan asked, puzzled.
"For no particular reason, it's just that for the Upper Realm, turning these small worlds at the edge of the universe into weapons to fight against alien races is the most cost-effective way."
"Weapons can be sacrificed with blood, made into pills, and integrated into the inner world, or perhaps placed in unknown territories to be cultivated. Who knows?"
"Especially for a young world spirit like you, as a spirit of an artifact or something, you are highly sought after."
Xiao Wu looked at Yan, and Yan shrank back.
"Moreover, after the Heavenly Dao Team receives the blessing of the higher Heavenly Dao, you are as powerless as a child in front of them."
"But they are not without weaknesses either."
As Xiao Wu said this, he gave Shinigami a meaningful look.
"Karma, malevolent energy, and the abyss are unsolvable for most living beings; once tainted, they will either die or be seriously injured."
" The Heavenly Dao Team is the main force against the power of the Abyss from beyond the boundary. Although it ensures that they can survive under mild Abyss corruption, their karma will continue to accumulate until it explodes."
"Yu and I will hold them off. You approach discreetly and detonate the karma within your body. I will seal them with an array while they are preoccupied with their own problems."
"And then we..."
After hearing this, everyone remained silent for a moment, then their eyes gradually hardened, indicating that they were willing to give the plan a try.
Yura pulled Xiao Wu aside. "Hold off the Heavenly Dao Team? Us?"
Xiao Wu gave You a look, "Trust me, I'm confident."
What is the success rate?
"At least 30%!" Xiao Wu held up three fingers. "If you include this, it's 40%." Xiao Wu touched the Jade Pendant at his waist.
You stared at Xiao Wu's face, as if trying to find some other expression, but in the end she gave in.
"Okay, it's good that you understand."
At least I can save both of our lives.
You didn't say it, but Xiao Wu understood, smiled, and remained silent.
...
"Captain, what's the point of collecting so many World Pearls?"
Qing looked at the few World Pearls she had been given in her pocket and said.
"Do you know why so many people in the Thirty-Three Heavens are desperate to join the Heavenly Dao Team?"
"Because of eliminating demons and upholding justice, and protecting our homeland?"
This slogan, which hangs in the corridors of the Heavenly Dao Bureau all day long, felt out of place to Qing at this moment.
"Admittedly, this has a lot to do with us representing justice, but it's not the whole story."
"Let me put it this way, the Heavenly Dao Team is not directly under the Heavenly Dao."
"Take this tiny world pearl for example. Regardless of its size, it contains a trace of primordial power."
"It is a great tonic for both people and objects. Even in polluted planes, it is of great use to those evil cultivators. It is now being sold for tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones on the black market, and there is still no market for it."
Another person chimed in, "It's all for that pitifully small chance of creating laws, even though no one has been heard of succeeding for centuries."
Just then, the array plate in Qing's hand suddenly sounded an alarm: "High energy reaction detected in the southeast!"
"Relax, it's just the lowest level of alert." He said, patting his companion beside him. "Let's go!"
...
"They're here."
Xiao Wu's voice was very calm.
"Proceed according to plan."
Xiao Wu and You headed towards the Heavenly Dao Team and soon approached their shuttle, where they faced off.
The captain looked at Xiao Wu warily, "Heh, I didn't expect such a big fish to be hiding in such a remote place."
"Although it's not quite at its best yet, it's sufficient. That person should like it very much."
"Pah, a bunch of lackeys!" Xiao Wu retorted without hesitation.
...The two sides engaged in a series of cordial and friendly exchanges...
"Now!"
Xiao Wu and You quickly retreated. A huge explosion came from not far away; Shinigami had begun their operation.
Heng, who remained in the Pure Land, seemed to sense something. His heart tightened, and tears involuntarily streamed down his face as he murmured, "Master."
"Rise!" Xiao Wu had somehow produced a dark green dagger, and four bronze statues with different expressions flew out from the Forest of Death, instantly shining brightly and surrounding the three opponents in a four-corner formation.
As the smoke cleared, the three were covered in green flames. Their skin quickly charred, peeled off, and regenerated, repeating the cycle endlessly. It was as if the souls of those who died because of them had reappeared, demanding their lives back.
Qing summoned a palm-leaf fan, and a layer of blue light appeared on his body. He then swallowed a handful of healing pills, and his condition improved somewhat. When he tried to use a teleportation talisman to take the other two people with him, he found that it was ineffective.
"Don't waste your energy. This bronze statue has absorbed the water of the River Styx. The surrounding space has been sealed off. Just wait to die."
"Wait, how come you're alright? You couldn't possibly be that unlucky as to have run into a new person, could you?"
Xiao Wu looked at Qing warily.
But the work in her hands didn't stop at all, "Yu!"
"Northwest direction, increase the input of spiritual energy."
Just as the formation was about to be completed, Qing patted Xiao Wu on the back: "Qiankun Locking Spirit, you two are quite talented."
Qing had already changed into a different posture and showed no signs of injury.
Alarm bells rang instantly in Xiao Wu's mind, "You, you are, the Abyss..."
Qing made a shushing gesture. "Don't be nervous, I have no hostility towards you."
"Mo Wu, you should know that even if your Mo family's ancestor were standing here, he couldn't do anything to me."
"Moreover, the abyssal power within you seems to really like me."
"Shut up! That was just an accident! I have nothing to do with you!"
Xiao Wu's emotions instantly became agitated, and black energy appeared around his body.
Just then, Yu, with courage she didn't know she found, shouted at Xiao Wu, "Don't give up! Wake up!"
As You struggled against Qing's power, she walked towards Xiao Wu, and soon her body was covered with wounds.
In the nearby forest, Heng tightly covered Yan's mouth, "Don't make a sound. Even if we go there, we'll just be throwing our lives away. Do as Xiao Wu says. We still have things we must do!"
Qing glanced meaningfully in that direction; the two little mice were an unexpected variable.
A giant hand descended from the sky, leveling the area where the two were standing.
"Also, I've been eyeing this cauldron for a long time, so I'm taking it with me. If you want it back, you'd better get stronger quickly!"
Qing grabbed Nitaru, but was bounced away by a golden light. However, he was not surprised at all and summoned a magical artifact to take Nitaru inside.
After doing all this, he pointed a finger at Xiao Wu from mid-air, and Xiao Wu was instantly sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his life hanging in the balance.
He looked at the formation in front of him, frowned, and then began to work.
"First like this, then like this, okay."
With these two corpses, this world can evolve, and living beings will be qualified to ascend to the upper realm. It can be considered a way to make use of waste.
He glanced at the two corpses again, spat, and muttered, "Trash!" before turning and leaving.
However, what he didn't see was a nimble figure darting away into the distance through the forest.
The array's light shot into the sky, enveloping the entire world. "That way, those pawns won't be able to find this place unless they wake up and break free from the inside. What a losing proposition! We should still ask the old man for more compensation."
As he spoke, he tossed the bag full of World Pearls in his hand, humming a little tune as he walked away into the distance…
