Chapter 656 - 650: The Void Race Comes to Form an Alliance
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
In the pavilion of the main hall, watching everything within the water curtain, Wa Huang suddenly burst into laughter, her laughter echoing like a floral dance.
After a round of laughter, Wa Huang finally stopped.
Xi Huang, with a face full of confusion, asked, "Sister, what are you laughing about?"
Wa Huang, filled with smugness, spoke to Xi Huang with mock profundity, "I have three laughs."
"What are the three laughs?" Xi Huang curiously inquired.
"The first laugh is naturally because Peacock Great Ming King hasn’t discovered the Celestial Heart Dao Planting Technique hidden within the Great Five Elements Reversal Divine Skill. He has cultivated the Great Five Elements Reversal Divine Skill and has fallen into my trap."
"The second laugh is because this Peacock Great Ming King is truly a genius, having already entered the path of the Great Five Elements Reversal Divine Skill in such a short time. Our Wa Huang’s Palace has indeed found a treasure."
"As for the third laugh, naturally, it’s because the Dao seed of the Celestial Heart Dao Planting Technique has already condensed within Peacock Great Ming King’s body. Being under my control is now a certainty!" Wa Huang truthfully revealed her three laughs.
After listening to Wa Huang’s words, Xi Huang asked, "The Dao seed condensed so quickly?"
"Naturally!" At this point, Wa Huang asked Xi Huang in return, "Look, what change do you see in the current Peacock Great Ming King compared to before?"
Xi Huang: "????"
Xi Huang had a look of bewilderment, thinking, what change could there be in such a short time?
"I don’t see anything," Xi Huang replied honestly.
Xi Huang truly didn’t see it, after all, not long ago, he had still been conversing with Peacock Great Ming King.
In such a brief time, how could there be any change!
Xi Huang believed Peacock Great Ming King hadn’t changed, but Wa Huang disagreed.
Wa Huang felt Peacock Great Ming King had changed significantly.
"He just said Wa Huang is a natural talent!" Wa Huang reminded, "He praised me!"
Xi Huang: "????"
Xi Huang thought, him praising you, what does that prove?
Besides, even if he just praised you, there’s no need to be so happy!
I praise you every day and don’t see you this happy.
Thinking this, Xi Huang couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous.
Seeing Xi Huang without reaction, Wa Huang continued to remind him, "With his previous attitude towards me, he wouldn’t have praised me!"
Wa Huang made it clear, and Xi Huang naturally understood.
Before, Peacock Great Ming King’s attitude towards Wa Huang was simply one of disgust.
Wa Huang proactively approached Peacock Great Ming King, but he was unwilling to engage with her.
As if speaking a word more with Wa Huang would dirty his mouth.
Such an attitude, Peacock Great Ming King not cursing Wa Huang out was giving her face.
How could he possibly praise Wa Huang?
But just now, Peacock Great Ming King indeed praised Wa Huang’s natural talent.
"It seems the Celestial Heart Dao Planting Technique truly worked!" Xi Huang thought.
Thinking this, Xi Huang’s jealousy faded, and he also felt happy for Wa Huang.
Now, the trajectory of events is progressing as Wa Huang planned.
Now, they just need to carefully nurture Peacock Great Ming King, to grow his power while deepening the Dao seed condensed by the Celestial Heart Dao Planting Technique.
When the time comes, Wa Huang will be able to completely control Peacock Great Ming King, which is the time they can use this trump card.
Xi Huang and Wa Huang now are bursting with pride, unaware that they are the ones who have fallen into a trap.
Side palace.
After praising Wa Huang, Peacock Great Ming King continued to cultivate with utmost concentration.
At this moment, Peacock Great Ming King was pondering, "I wonder if Wa Huang heard what I just said."
Before leaving, Yin Celestial Son specifically instructed Peacock Great Ming King to act as if influenced by the Celestial Heart Dao Planting Technique.
It was precisely for this reason that Peacock Great Ming King praised Wa Huang earlier.
Since it was just a recent cultivation, Peacock Great Ming King didn’t dare to overdo it, so after a slight praise, he continued to cultivate.
His remark of praise indeed had an effect.
...
...
Mysterious World.
East Sea.
At this moment, in Elder Bai’s Undersea Dragon Palace, Lin Yuan was receiving a special guest.
The person was cloaked entirely in a black robe, exuding an eerie aura.
Aura that seemed as if he was an abyss without a bottom.
"Who are you?" Lin Yuan stared intently at the mysterious person in front of him.
"The Void Race congratulates Daoist Lin Yuan on attaining enlightenment. These are gifts from our Void Race!" After speaking, the mysterious person waved his hand, causing a circular black hole to appear before them.
The black hole continuously spewed forth items, not ordinary objects but treasures one after another.
It is well known, treasures within the Void surpass those within the world.
Rare divine metal and precious herbs on earth are commonplace in the Void.
The mysterious person was indeed generous; the treasures spewed forth from the black hole piled into a small mountain in the hall.
Moreover, the mountain of treasures, placed in the world, would be rare treasures, with not a single ordinary item.
Lin Yuan curiously looked at the mysterious person for a long time before slowly speaking, "I accept no reward without labor; this bounty you offer surely harbors ill intentions!"
Lin Yuan never believed that pies fell from the sky.
What fell from the sky would be a life-threatening bomb.
The mysterious person seemed to understand that mere treasures kunne gain Lin Yuan’s trust.
In contrast, these treasures made Lin Yuan more guarded against them.
The treasures were meant to express their sincerity.
Therefore, the mysterious person didn’t beat around the bush and directly said, "Alliance!"
"Our Void Race wishes to ally with Daoist Lin Yuan?"
Alliance?
Void Race?
Truth be told, Lin Yuan didn’t even know what the Void Race was.
Thinking this, Lin Yuan looked over at Elder Bai.
Elder Bai, knowledgeable as he was, might know.
Noticing Lin Yuan’s gaze towards him, Elder Bai shook his head slightly.
Though Elder Bai had lived the longest, he had only existed since the world’s creation.
Regarding worldly matters, Elder Bai could speak on end.
But concerning matters beyond the world, of the Void, Elder Bai knew little.
Given Elder Bai’s lack of knowledge, Lin Yuan had no choice but to ask himself.
"Alliance?"
"We dwell in the world, while you reside in the Void; perhaps we are even adversaries."
"What reason do we have to ally?" Lin Yuan inquired.
The mysterious person of the Void Race didn’t shy away and responded, "The enemy of our enemy is a friend. The Four Great Primordial Spirits are your enemies and our enemies as well."
"Since we share a common enemy, why can’t we ally?"
The enemy of an enemy is indeed a friend.
In military strategy, there’s a notion of distant diplomacy and near attacks.
However, this so-called Void Race, Lin Yuan was skeptical of.
Who knows whether what he said was true or false.
