Chapter 910

"Fuck..."

Hearing Qing Qi's words, He Pingsheng blurted out a curse.

The Wu clan?

It completely shattered his understanding.

Although he had never seen the Wu clan, he had long heard of their legendary name.

Legends said the Wu clan were divine beings, formed from the primordial essence of earth, descendants of the Immortal Realm's Wu clan, immensely powerful.

Their strength lay primarily in their physical bodies.

Legends claimed every Wu clan member possessed boundless strength and invincible defense.

But now you tell me these stunningly beautiful Wu clan members all have boundless strength and invincible defense?

They don't look like it at all!

In He Pingsheng's original impression, the Wu clan should've been burly, rough, bearded uglies.

It completely shattered his understanding.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is still time before the Jin Ku Immortal Ruins open—feel free to find seats. Should you encounter any issues, inform our Jin Ku clan!"

"Please!"

The Jin Ku clan's Mahayana Emperor treated the Wu clan with utmost courtesy.

Not a hint of arrogance!

"No need for formalities, you've worked hard!"

The Wu clan's leader bowed to the Jin Ku Mahayana, then with swift flashes of movement, all landed upon the stone forest.

The Jin Ku clan's Mahayana returned once more.

"Gu Brother, it's been many years!"

After the Jin Ku Mahayana departed, a cultivator clad in green robes rose and called out to the Wu clan: "So long, I thought you'd already ascended!"

This green-robed speaker was no ordinary figure—he was a Dragon clan cultivator, one of the Four Divine Clans.

"Oh… so it's Daoist Ao Lie!" The Wu clan leader bowed: "Long time no see… I could've ascended to the Immortal Realm, but I delayed it to await the opening of this Jin Ku world!"

"Once this Jin Ku Immortal Ruins journey ends, I'll begin my tribulation and ascend!"

"What about you?"

Ao Lie said: "I'm nearly ready too, but… it seems we've come for nothing—only three days remain until the Immortal Ruins open!"

"That fellow hasn't arrived yet, hehehe…"

As he spoke, Ao Lie's gaze swept the surroundings.

The Wu clan leader Gu Yedi's eyes also scanned the area.

"Not here?" Gu Yedi's pupils narrowed slightly: "Could Wang Dun not be coming?"

"If he doesn't show, I won't wait—I can begin my tribulation and ascend right now!"

He Pingsheng's heart jolted: This guy came here for Wang Dun.

Thinking it over, it made sense.

Wang Dun's reputation was immense, and he endured the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation—he has a high chance of retrieving one of the Ten True Poisons from the Jin Ku Immortal Ruins.

When Wang Dun breaks the Jin Ku clan's chains and becomes ruler of the entire Western Pole Continent, the human race will rise with him.

So the Wu clan and Dragon clan's target this time is Wang Dun?

He Pingsheng guessed correctly.

When Wang Dun underwent his tribulation, he was forced by the combined pressure of the Dragon and Wu clans to use the tribulation as a means of survival.

During the tribulation, he revealed his Nine-Nine Destiny.

Afterward, both the Dragon and Wu clans grew even more vigilant.

"What?" Gu Yedi scanned the area, puzzled: "Why hasn't the Phoenix clan arrived?"

Until he mentioned it, no one remembered the Phoenix clan still hadn't shown.

"That's right!"

"Where's the Phoenix clan?"

"As one of the Divine Clans, how could they miss such a grand gathering?"

"What's going on?"

Hundreds of Mahayana Emperors murmured among themselves.

Even He Pingsheng was surprised.

Finally, a Qilin stood and said: "Wu and Dragon clan friends, I know the reason—the Phoenix clan has sent word to inform you: they face a dire enemy and cannot come."

"They are preparing to meet the threat head-on!"

"Thus, they will not attend this journey to the Jin Ku Immortal Ruins!"

"Hmph…" Gu Yedi sneered: "It's just He Pingsheng—why the panic?"

"The Phoenix clan has grown increasingly pathetic."

"Do they think they can turn the Imperishable Volcano into a turtle shell?"

No one responded to Gu Yedi's words.

Gu Yedi glared coldly at the Qilin clan: "You Qilin clan are even worse—you're worse than the Phoenix clan! I heard a newly promoted Demon Emperor even gave his own sister to He Pingsheng as a mount?"

"Does such a person deserve to be called one of the Four Divine Clans?"

"From now on, there are only two Divine Clans left!"

"The Phoenix and Qilin clans should just step down from their divine positions!"

Gu Yedi raged, utterly humiliating the Qilin clan—but the Qilin clan's Mahayana Emperors showed no reaction.

No counterattack. No one stood to refute him.

Only Qing Qi beside He Pingsheng trembled with rage, his eyes blazing.

"Oh?" Gu Yedi's gaze suddenly fixed on Qing Qi: "Mahayana Emperor Layer Two—you're the one who gave his sister to someone as a mount, aren't you?"

"You're asking for death!" Qing Qi shot to his feet.

In his entire life, he had never endured such mockery.

"Hey hey hey…" Ao Lie waved his hand: "Gu Brother, you've gone too far… You don't know, they say He Pingsheng also possesses Nine-Nine Destiny—the one who endured the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!"

"It's only natural the Phoenix and Qilin clans fear him."

"Hmph!" Gu Yedi snorted: "Daoist Ao Lie, you're mistaken. Use your brain—could two beings with Nine-Nine Destiny possibly appear simultaneously?"

Ao Lie froze, then frowned deeply: "That… does seem strange."

"What kind of cosmic anomaly is Nine-Nine Destiny? How could two appear at once—and both be human?"

"Therefore!" Gu Yedi said: "Under Heaven's Dao, yin alone cannot grow, yang alone cannot be born!"

"Where there is truth, there must be falsehood!"

"I suspect these two Nine-Nine Destinies, though both appear identical, are in fact one yin and one yang."

"Meaning one is the true Nine-Nine Destiny, the other a false one."

"They're just indistinguishable at present."

Ao Lie bowed: "Please enlighten us, Gu Brother."

Gu Yedi said: "Those with extraordinary talent are always favored by Heaven—and envied by all."

"Think: the emergence of a Nine-Nine talent shakes an entire world."

"Countless others will seek to eliminate them."

"Heaven must then send forth a false Nine-Nine talent to bear the burden, absorbing the malice meant for the true one."

"Thus, one is yin, one is yang—one true, one false."

"You and I have both seen Wang Dun—how brilliant was he?"

"So, who among He Pingsheng and Wang Dun is true, and who is false?"

Gu Yedi fixed his gaze on Ao Lie.
