Chapter 617

Xiao Mai: "Only Brother Taixuan has the qualifications to intervene in our group, right?"

Su Xiao: "Taixuan Brother, can you do it?"

【Ding, Su Xiao has been muted for one minute.】

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Su Xiao ran straight into the gun barrel again."

Zhang Taixuan: "This matter needs careful planning. Even if Master Tang Xuanzang's world isn't the original Journey to the West, isn't a Grand World, it's still a top-tier Middle World with plenty of experts. Buddha alone is at least a Jin Xian-level powerhouse—far stronger than I am now."

Zhang Taixuan: "Besides, what would I even do with the Heavenly Pillar? Smelt Sun Wukong into a Spirit Treasure? That would be too much of a childhood destroyer."

Su Xiao: "It really is a childhood destroyer."

Hu Yifei: "+1"

Wang Chao: "So if that's the case, there's nothing in Master Tang Xuanzang's world we absolutely need to scheme for. Qi-yun? Other worlds' qi-yun isn't essential to us. The Heavenly Pillar? We don't have a habit of eating people, so no need to seize it."

Su Xiao: "Hearing you say you don't eat people, I can't help but find it funny."

Wang Chao: "???"

Ye Hei: "I remember Wang Chao never cultivated by eating people, right? Oh, you mean the protagonists from his same-author works. Now I recall."

Wang Chao: "Can you really pin those things on me?"

Su Xiao: "Hehe, just making an association."

Wang Chao: "Please stop making baseless associations! I'm a clean, upright person—why are you tarnishing my reputation!!"

Su Xiao: "Speaking of clean and upright, I think of Lin Meimei."

Lin Daiyu: "..."

Bai Suzhen: "Then we don't need to take any risks!"

Xiao Bai: "That's fine then—safer this way."

Tang Xuanzang: "This is the Heavenly Pillar Stone of an entire world—aren't you tempted?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Thanks, but I'm not tempted."

Fa Hai: "Amitabha. I also renounce it! Though I've suppressed many demons and monsters, I've never eaten one. This would violate my inner nature."

Tang Xuanzang: "If you won't come, I'll act alone!"

Afterward, Tang Seng stopped speaking in the group—he must have gone to plan something.

Dalaotian.

Zhang Taixuan pondered, took out the small green bottle, drew out the eighth-rank Blue Lotus, inspected the Creation Fluid inside, found it plentiful, and felt a surge of inspiration—he went to the Thunder Bamboo grove.

Though the Primordial Embryo's quality is only low-grade Spirit Treasure tier, it can serve as a temporary bridge.

He is only at the Great Sage realm; Jin Xian is still far off—he can fully cultivate the Thirty-Three Heavens Technique.

Even if he doesn't participate in the scheme for the Great Speech Westward World, he cannot be unprepared.

"This is a crisis," Zhang Taixuan mused. "With a Jin Xian-level trump card, I'd be far more secure."

He gently poured the Creation Fluid onto the Thunder Bamboo—and instantly, the bamboo's age accelerated rapidly.

He cultivated thirty-three stalks, condensed thirty-three Primordial Embryos, which ultimately became thirty-three Spirit Pearls—then he returned the small green bottle to its place, reinserting the Blue Lotus into it.

Taking the Spirit Pearls, he returned to his meditation chamber and began channeling magic power to carve out pseudo-worlds within each pearl.

As each pseudo-world opened, the aura of the Spirit Pearls began to change.

The Spirit Pearls' primordial essence was extremely pure—like transparent glass beads.

After the pseudo-worlds were carved, wisps of cloud-like mist appeared on the pearls.

Once the thirty-three pseudo-worlds were complete, Zhang Taixuan activated his technique, linking them all together.

Instantly, the thirty-three Spirit Pearls became a set of Spirit Treasures—capable, when needed, of transforming into a small Lesser World to suppress enemies.

Zhang Taixuan thought—and instantly, the thirty-three Spirit Pearls floated and circled around him, while a vast world appeared behind him, radiating terrifying energy.

This was power far beyond the Great Sage realm.

An aura of primordial permanence, eternal indestructibility, flowed through it.

Yet, after only a few breaths, a powerful repelling force surged forth, trying to expel him beyond the world's boundaries.

"Of course," Zhang Taixuan mused. "This technique is severely restricted within a world—it can only fully manifest its power in Chaos." He thought, and once again severed the Time-Space River within the thirty-three Spirit Pearls.

With the Time-Space River severed, the Thirty-Three Heavens World reverted to pseudo-worlds.

Not a complete world—Taixuan's Realm would no longer reject it, and the repelling force vanished instantly.

Zhang Taixuan waved his hand, fixing the thirty-three Spirit Pearls behind him, hiding them within the light wheel formed by the Mirage Dragon Mirror.

"The technique can only be activated for a few breaths—but that's enough."

A powerful technique suppressing enemies doesn't need to last long.

Xiuyu Valley.

Yihua Palace.

Yao Yue sat in her quiet chamber, her flawless white jade face filled with shock and disappointment.

"My Mingyu Technique is only 6 points?" Yao Yue sighed. "My world truly has nothing valuable. No wonder Su Xiao looks down on it!"

She opened the Shangcheng again, studied it for a while, and found countless treasures—each one capable of stirring greed.

Immortality!

Becoming a Xian, becoming a God!

How could she not desire these things!

But reality was cruel.

She opened the chat group and saw everyone discussing how to earn points—her heart leapt with joy.

Thor: "Earning points is easy. Return to my world, gather some ores or magic books, and sell them."

Sigong Huiye: "We can capture urban legends and sell them. Haya and I captured another urban legend, Hana—though we earned less than before, it's still substantial."

Su Xiao: "By the way, I remember in Thor's world, Fafnir sells magic books—you can ask him to buy one."

Thor: "Huh... so there are stories in my world too?"

Su Xiao: "Yep, want to see them?"

Thor: "No."

Su Xiao: "Eh?! Not want to?"

Thor: "Exactly. What it was originally doesn't matter at all—I only need my lord Taixuan."

Xiao Mai: "Thor is so easy to read!"

Su Xiao: "Don't you even want to know who you originally liked?"

Thor: "No!"

Hu Yifei: "Great Immortal, are you stumped again?"

Su Xiao: "【Sweatdrop】"

Hu Yifei: "If Miss Thor doesn't want to know, just don't release the drama. Are you addicted to spoilers?"

Su Xiao: "I really wanted to see Thor's expression when she learns the original story. 【Expectant】"

Xiao Mai: "You're really twisted!"

Yao Yue: "I have a question for everyone—how do I make money on my side?"

Hu Yifei: "On your side, Yao Yue, the only way to make money is probably taking out loans to buy Celestial Caves and grow spirit herbs. You don't have any valuable local specialties."

Su Xiao: "Let's not rush that. Sister Yao Yue, after reading the original story, what do you think? For example, about Jade Lang Jiang Feng, or Jiang Biehe?"

Xiao Mai: "Hah, Su Xiao, since you didn't get any fun out of Thor, are you trying to get it back from Lady Yao Yue?"

Hu Yifei: "A joker, a joker's soul—Su Xiao's going to laugh someone to death!"
