Chapter 435 - 226: Heaven and Earth Tremble, Immortal Gods Fall Like Rain
However, he wasn’t overly concerned.
After all, he was bound to clash with the Celestial Court sooner or later. Making contact with their people in the mortal realm first might even be beneficial.
Besides, this Cutting the Three Corpses Technique was the only Magic Technique he currently possessed that could transform his physical body and Great Daoist Nascent Soul, allowing him to achieve the ultimate one-light-year Grotto Heaven.
Even if practicing this Cultivation meant attracting the Celestial Court’s attention, he would do it!
A complex look appeared in the Daoist Lord of Primordial Void’s eyes.
"Since you are now aware, Fellow Daoist Wang, what are your plans?"
Wang Xiao shot the Daoist Lord of Primordial Void a ghost of a smile, answering his question with one of his own.
"Daoist Lord of Primordial Void, you said nothing when I first began my Cultivation, yet now you bring it up yourself. What is your true intention?"
The Daoist Lord of Primordial Void’s heart skipped a beat under that gaze, feeling as if all his little schemes had been seen through completely.
He sighed and confessed truthfully,
"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Wang, my lifespan is nearly at its end. That is why I wish to storm the Celestial Court."
"However, with my strength alone, forcing my way into the Celestial Court is no different from suicide."
"Therefore, I hoped to invite you to go with me, Fellow Daoist Wang!"
"Had I told you beforehand, I feared you would have doubts and not dare to practice the Cutting the Three Corpses Technique."
Wang Xiao said nonchalantly,
"I have already cut two of the Three Corpses. Someone from the Celestial Court will descend to the Lower Realm to recruit me. Why would I need to storm the Celestial Court with you?!"
The Daoist Lord of Primordial Void countered,
"Fellow Daoist Wang, do you truly believe ascending to the Celestial Court is a good thing?"
A glint flashed in Wang Xiao’s eyes.
"Daoist Lord of Primordial Void, what do you mean by that?"
The Daoist Lord of Primordial Void said,
"I once had several old friends who were taken to the Celestial Court. We agreed that they would return to the Lower Realm after ascending, but to this day, none have come back."
"One could be a coincidence, but three in a row have vanished without a trace."
"Fellow Daoist Wang, do you still think ascending to the Celestial Court is a good thing?!"
Wang Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"Daoist Lord of Primordial Void, are you suggesting that these people are all dead?!"
He truly hadn’t expected the Celestial Court to hold such unknown secrets.
However, he wasn’t particularly surprised.
After all—
The Celestial Court never revealed itself to the world, only recruiting those who met specific conditions.
Furthermore, it was highly likely they held the largest Life Seed, which in itself proved the Celestial Court was anything but simple.
’They are almost certainly plotting something!’
The Daoist Lord of Primordial Void said,
"I don’t know if they are dead. Perhaps they haven’t returned to the Lower Realm for other reasons."
"However, this is clearly not normal."
"Even if they couldn’t descend for a short period, they should have contacted me at least once. After all, that was the agreement we made long ago."
"My only guess now is that even if they aren’t dead, their freedom has been restricted, preventing them from descending to the Lower Realm or even sending a message."
"Fellow Daoist Wang, are you truly willing to be trapped in such a place?!"
Wang Xiao stared at the Daoist Lord of Primordial Void until the latter’s scalp tingled, then he finally spoke.
"I’ve heard that the people of the Celestial Court are far stronger than ordinary Daoist Lords. Since you’ve been planning to storm the Celestial Court for so long, Daoist Lord of Primordial Void, I assume you’ve made preparations?"
The Daoist Lord of Primordial Void replied,
"I have indeed secretly allied with eighteen other Daoist Lords. We have practiced a powerful Array, and once it is deployed, I am confident no single Daoist Lord could withstand it."
"With the exception of you, of course, Fellow Daoist Wang."
"If we place you at the core, Fellow Daoist Wang, and combine the power of nineteen Daoist Lords, including myself, I believe that not even the Celestial Court could stop us!"
A flicker of light crossed Wang Xiao’s eyes. He neither agreed nor refused, but instead asked,
"After one has cut two of the Three Corpses, how long does it take for someone from the Celestial Court to descend to the Lower Realm?"
The Daoist Lord of Primordial Void thought for a moment and said,
"I do not know the specific Time. However, based on my calculations, it should not be longer than a year at most."
Hearing this, Wang Xiao nodded slightly.
"Alright. Go and contact those Daoist Lords now. Have them come here so we can discuss the plan to counterattack the Celestial Court."
His Divine Thought had already sensed them. Besides the Daoist Lord of Primordial Void, there were indeed quite a few other Daoist Lords currently staying in the Fengluo Dao.
This proved that the Daoist Lord of Primordial Void had long been prepared to counterattack the Celestial Court.
’He was just waiting for me to make my breakthrough!’
’This saves me a lot of trouble; no need to persuade them one by one.’
As for the Daoist Lords from the other dozen or so Daos, they were surely unwilling to participate in the plan to counterattack the Celestial Court. Wang Xiao couldn’t be bothered with them.
The enhancement that the Cutting the Three Corpses Technique provided for his physical body and Great Daoist Nascent Soul was even greater than he had imagined.
He no longer needed to waste time seeking too much external help!
The Daoist Lord of Primordial Void’s eyes shone brightly as he nodded.
"Excellent! I believe that with your help, Fellow Daoist Wang, we will surely be able to break free from this prison that is the Celestial Court and regain our freedom!"
He knew that Wang Xiao had no choice but to believe him now.
After all—
a powerhouse like him would surely be unwilling to place his own Destiny in someone else’s hands!
Without another thought, the Daoist Lord of Primordial Void’s figure flickered, and he departed to contact the other Daoist Lords.
After the Daoist Lord of Primordial Void left, Wang Xiao tore open the void and arrived at the Land of Nothingness.
He had an agreement with Xu Muying to meet in Fengdu City after three hundred years.
Now, those three hundred years had passed.
But Xu Muying had yet to appear.
Worried that something had happened to Xu Muying, Wang Xiao naturally had to investigate.
Soon, Wang Xiao found where Xu Muying’s physical body was located.
With a single step, he appeared by her side.
At that moment, Xu Muying was sitting in meditation with her eyes closed. Sensing Wang Xiao’s arrival, she slowly opened them.
She spoke,
"My main Divine Soul ran into a little trouble in the Land of Void, but it’s all resolved now. It’s rushing back as fast as it can and should arrive within a year."
What was controlling her body now were merely a few of her Divine Soul Thoughts.
