Chapter 2587: First, gather the ingredients; we'll talk later

The Heavenly Spirit Tribe's so-called centennial great sacrifice, Huang Lao had also heard about it in passing during idle chats before, but he never took it to heart.

However, from what I recall, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe's last centennial great sacrifice wasn't that long ago, so the timing seems off.

As for that, Huang Lao himself wasn't sure either, since he had never paid attention to it before.

At this moment, facing the invitation from that Heavenly Spirit Tribe elder, Huang Lao was somewhat indifferent.

This is merely a clone; my true self is still busy gathering Sea God ingredients.

He didn't want to agree, but feared that refusing would backfire and arouse suspicion from the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

After thinking, Huang Lao said casually.

"Oh, congratulations, but is it appropriate for us outsiders to attend your centennial great sacrifice?"

"Senior, your words flatter me; the Heavenly Spirit Tribe has always been on good terms with the Human Race, and to invite a senior like you, the strongest among humans, to this grand event is our honor."

That Heavenly Spirit Tribe elder spoke with a fawning expression; his attitude and smile made him appear 'sincere'.

He also worried that if Huang Lao outright refused, the plan would die before it even started, so no matter what, he had to get Huang Lao to nod in agreement.

"Will your Spirit Ancestor also come to participate?"

That seemingly casual question left the Heavenly Spirit Tribe elder momentarily embarrassed.

The Spirit Ancestor naturally wouldn't show himself easily, and he hadn't said so before.

After hesitating a moment, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe elder still spoke truthfully.

"Senior, our Spirit Ancestor has been unwell lately, so he may not leave seclusion."

To lie effectively it needs some truth mixed in, but hearing this, Huang Lao breathed a sigh of relief.

In the entire Heavenly Spirit Tribe, aside from that undying old Spirit Ancestor, no one could see through his methods.

So as long as that old Spirit Ancestor doesn't emerge from seclusion, Huang Lao need not worry that his methods will be seen through.

Thinking this, Huang Lao then nodded in agreement.

After all, it's just attending a sacrificial ceremony, nothing special; this external incarnation should pose no problem.

Seeing Huang Lao nod, that Heavenly Spirit Tribe elder was delighted; it was settled.

As long as Huang Lao nods in agreement, the plan is practically half done.

After all, if even Huang Lao agrees, would other human cultivators possibly refuse?

Thinking this, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe elder immediately beamed, nodding repeatedly, and said he would personally come to greet Huang Lao and company.

After a bit more small talk, with Huang Lao intentionally seeing him off, that Heavenly Spirit Tribe elder then took his leave.

Both parties harbored ulterior motives; Huang Lao failed to see through the Heavenly Spirit Tribe elder's scheme, and the elder likewise failed to notice Huang Lao's issue.

Despite both having problems, they happily reached an agreement.

Meanwhile, Huang Lao, who was in a distant sea region, also let out a slight sigh of relief after dealing with this.

He now doesn't want to worry about anything else; he just wants to quickly obtain Sea God ingredients, which are truly delicious.

That flavor is definitely above that of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients.

Especially those earlier sashimi slices, Ye Zhangqing didn't do much processing to them.

Following what that kid said, what was it again? High-end ingredients often need only the simplest cooking.

That saying is apt, showing the high-end nature of the Sea God ingredients.

Now that we have the opportunity, we must gather more Sea God ingredients to store.

Therefore, at this very moment, Huang Lao simply has no mind for anything else.

Whatever centennial great sacrifice, it's all nonsense; let my external incarnation go play with you.

Just as Huang Lao was about to shake his head and toss this matter aside, a Heavenly Family elder spoke up with a doubtful expression.

"Huang Lao, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe has also invited me to the centennial great sacrifice."

Huh???

Hearing that, Huang Lao startled, turned his head toward that Heavenly Family elder, and frowned slightly.

"You too were invited?"

"Yes, just now the Heavenly Spirit Tribe sent someone specifically to say that."

This is strange; is the Heavenly Spirit Tribe inviting so many people?

Before Huang Lao could figure it out, people one after another indicated they had also received invitations.

Is the Heavenly Spirit Tribe trying to invite everyone in?

Everyone in the troop had received an invitation to participate in the centennial great sacrifice.

But that wasn't even more outrageous; what's more outrageous is that, gradually, many on the Human Race side also came forward saying they had been invited.

Roughly calculated, is the Heavenly Spirit Tribe inviting tens of thousands of human cultivators?

You're holding your centennial great sacrifice; inviting a few representatives would suffice—what does it mean to invite tens of thousands of our human cultivators?

Can your Heavenly Spirit Tribe accommodate them? If so, go ahead and invite.

The Heavenly Spirit Tribe really has a grand gesture, inviting all of humanity.

Regarding this, a Heavenly Family elder asked doubtfully.

"Huang Lao, what should we do?"

"Let's go; they've extended such a warm invitation."

"But………………"

"First, gather the ingredients."

Speaking of ingredients, everyone instantly became interested; yes, yes, yes, for now we should first gather the ingredients, the rest can be discussed later.

Huang Lao and company continued rushing swiftly toward the nearest red dot; meanwhile, within the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, after collating the humans' responses one by one, several Heavenly Spirit Tribe elders showed delighted expressions.

The plan is proceeding even more smoothly than imagined; these humans had not the slightest doubt and all nodded in agreement.

An old ancestor couldn't help but grin and laugh.

"Haha, these humans are really stupid, they actually have no precautions at all."

However, upon hearing this, Ling Yunyi's grandfather said coldly.

"Stupid? Maybe they simply don't put our Heavenly Spirit Tribe in their eyes, they're not afraid at all."

"Because they look down on them, so they don't set up defenses—have you ever seen a true dragon set up defenses against a wild boar?"

"Put bluntly, they just look down on you."

"As soon as these words were spoken, the old ancestor who had spoken earlier turned black-faced and immediately gritted his teeth and said."

"Hmph, arrogance always comes with a price; I want to see how long these humans can keep laughing—wait for the Sea God to make a move, don't let them piss their pants from fright."

This time, Ling Yunyi's grandfather didn't respond further; by now, what else could he say?

But his intuition told him that this time it probably wouldn't be that easy—how could this human race be so easily dealt with?

In the eyes of the various races beyond the heavens, humans are considered outsiders, after all humans are not born beyond the heavens but are born in the Immortal Realm.

They came from the Immortal Realm, slaughtering their way to beyond the heavens, thus they are outsiders.

Yet, as outsiders, humans have carved out a place for themselves beyond the heavens and successfully secured a foothold.

By now, they have become a major clan beyond the heavens that cannot be ignored.

The position humans have today beyond the heavens was won blade by blade; such a people, could they really be that easy to deal with?

"A mere scheme could settle tens of thousands of human cultivators? No matter how you think about it, it seems impossible."

But now he can't stop these.
