Chapter 643 - 637: News of the Daoist Ancestor
The Four Great Primordial Spirits, connected by a shared origin.
This saying is not false, but the premise is when they are united against external threats.
When there are no external enemies, they begin to scheme against each other internally.
The Four Great Primordial Spirits are closely matched in power, maintaining a subtle balance.
As they each strive to grow stronger, they also fear the other three might surpass them.
Among the Four Great Primordial Spirits, Wa Huang is most wary of the Daoist Ancestor.
In Wa Huang’s view, the Demon Lord is a reckless brute, and the Buddha a hypocrite.
Only the Daoist Ancestor is silent yet unfathomable.
The Demon Lord and Buddha bet on the World Honored, who failed to achieve enlightenment, causing them significant loss.
Meanwhile, Wa Huang has the trump card of the Peacock Great Ming King.
Who is the Peacock Great Ming King?
He is Lin Yuan’s father-in-law, and this trump card gives Wa Huang a strategic advantage in the upcoming moves.
Now, Wa Huang is one step ahead of the Demon Lord and Buddha, no longer considering them significant.
Wa Huang’s main concern now is the Daoist Ancestor.
She fears the Daoist Ancestor might forge a new path and become stronger than her.
Previously, when the World Honored seemed likely to achieve enlightenment, Wa Huang planned to use the Demon Lord and Buddha against the Daoist Ancestor.
Unfortunately, the World Honored’s failure left the Demon Lord and Buddha preoccupied.
Counting on them to deal with the Daoist Ancestor is clearly out of the question.
Thus, Wa Huang developed a new plan, intending to use Lin Yuan to scheme against the Daoist Ancestor.
Even if Lin Yuan realizes Wa Huang’s intentions to use him against the Daoist Ancestor,
he has no choice but to fall into the trap.
This is because it is an open scheme.
The Daoist Ancestor, as one of the Four Great Primordial Spirits,
no matter what, Lin Yuan absolutely cannot tolerate one of the Four Great Primordial Spirits lingering in the world.
A bomb!
This is a bomb that could explode and destroy the world at any moment!
Wa Huang has betrayed the Daoist Ancestor once again, disregarding the consequences.
More lice do not itch, more debt does not worry, Wa Huang is willing to take risks.
After Wa Huang finished speaking, Lin Yuan fell into deep thought.
He pondered that the news about the Daoist Ancestor is no small matter.
According to Wa Huang, it seems one of the Four Great Primordial Spirits, the Daoist Ancestor, has already infiltrated the world.
Judging by the value of this information alone, even one treasure, let alone ten or a hundred, could not compare!
This world is Lin Yuan’s foundation, if such a formidable being enters to cause chaos, it would be utter disorder.
The most puzzling thing for Lin Yuan is that, logically, the Daoist Ancestor should not be able to enter the world!
In that great war of the past, the Four Great Primordial Spirits were defeated by the Human Emperor, who forced them to swear an oath not to descend to the world for ten thousand years.
Now, the ten thousand years have not yet passed, how did one of the Four Great Primordial Spirits, the Daoist Ancestor, manage to enter the world?
After much consideration, Lin Yuan decided to agree to Wa Huang’s offer.
The information about the Daoist Ancestor is too important to be taken lightly.
"Agreed!"
"I want to see what kind of information you have to offer!" Lin Yuan agreed slowly.
Upon hearing Lin Yuan accept the deal, Wa Huang’s face lit up with a satisfied smile, as if everything was under her control.
"The Daoist Ancestor has self-dissipated and given up seeking Power of Faith in the world, choosing a different path."
"He has reincarnated into your world, anyone in your world could be the Daoist Ancestor’s reincarnation!" Wa Huang spoke softly, yet with an alarming tone.
As Lin Yuan had suspected, one of the Four Great Primordial Spirits, the Daoist Ancestor, has infiltrated their world.
Although Lin Yuan had anticipated this, hearing it from Wa Huang’s lips still made him shiver.
This is a bomb that could destroy the world!
"What path did the Daoist Ancestor choose?"
"What is his purpose for infiltrating the world?" Lin Yuan questioned Wa Huang further.
Wa Huang looked at Lin Yuan, gloating, and said: "I only know that the Daoist Ancestor has reincarnated, I know nothing else."
"If you want to know more, you’ll have to find him and ask him yourself."
Wa Huang’s intentions were clear, to use Lin Yuan to find the Daoist Ancestor.
As the saying goes, "If they are not among our kin, their heart is surely different."
Once Lin Yuan finds the Daoist Ancestor, there are only two possible outcomes.
One is the Daoist Ancestor dying at Lin Yuan’s hands, the other is being expelled back to the Void.
Regardless of the outcome, the Daoist Ancestor’s plans will come to naught.
Seeing Lin Yuan in thought after she finished speaking, Wa Huang added: "I kindly remind you, the Peacock Great Ming King should be able to leave with Xi Huang, right?"
Kind-hearted?
Even a fool can see that Wa Huang has ulterior motives.
"Hmph!"
"Do you think I don’t know you’re trying to use me against the Daoist Ancestor?"
"You conniving woman, talking about kindness!" Lin Yuan replied testily.
Despite seeing through Wa Huang’s intentions, Lin Yuan decided to let Xi Huang take the Peacock Great Ming King away.
Blackmailing once is acceptable, doing it twice seems a bit too unscrupulous.
Moreover, knowing the Daoist Ancestor has reincarnated into their world, Lin Yuan is more eager to plant the Peacock Great Ming King as an inside agent.
Since the Daoist Ancestor has quietly reincarnated and infiltrated their world, it’s hard to ensure Wa Huang doesn’t have plans against them.
Inserting the Peacock Great Ming King as soon as possible would be beneficial for Lin Yuan.
"Since I’ve agreed to this, I’ll see it through."
"Later, I’ll have Xi Huang take the Peacock Great Ming King away!" Lin Yuan said, then tore open the void, throwing the copper mirror into the turbulent current of time and space.
Soon, Lin Yuan had some things to discuss with the Peacock Great Ming King, and to prevent Wa Huang from secretly listening through a Secret Technique, he threw the copper mirror into temporal chaos for safety.
After assigning Elder Bai to stabilize Xi Huang, Lin Yuan went to meet with the Peacock Great Ming King.
"Lin Yuan, what did Xi Huang say?" the Peacock Great Ming King asked first upon seeing Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan replied solemnly: "I met with Wa Huang, she told me some news..."
Hearing the news, the Peacock Great Ming King trembled: "What, the Daoist Ancestor has reincarnated? This must not be taken lightly."
"I must leave now, Lin Yuan, you must handle this cautiously."
Lin Yuan nodded, agreeing: "I will go to the Underworld later to consult with the Yin Celestial Son for solutions."
"The Yin Celestial Son has numerous means, he might have a way to find the Daoist Ancestor’s reincarnation."
"When you arrive at Wa Huang’s Palace, strive to gain Wa Huang’s trust, and inform us of any actions they plan so we can be prepared."
"Xi Huang values bonds deeply, I plan to gain his trust first!" the Peacock Great Ming King shared his thoughts.
