Chapter 775: The Qi of Five Declines

Wooo~

Stepping into the void, Daoist Wu Shuai glanced back at Daoist Hun Yi, who stood in the void with an indifferent, downcast gaze, then vanished from the latter's perception in an instant.

Daoist Hun Yi's brow furrowed slightly. He had meant to calculate by snapping his fingers, but instead he faintly sensed an indescribable demonic Qi.

"Nine Spirit Primordial Demon…"

Daoist Hun Yi suppressed his thoughts, then took out a transmission talisman. Merging his divine sense into it, he sent out the scene of his earlier conversation with Daoist Wu Shuai.

Before long, the talisman trembled, and a hoarse, low voice came through:

"If that Nine Spirit Primordial Demon truly can shake the Tower of Heavenly Sin, then for us it is indeed a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity. But those extradimensional demons cannot be trusted—better to stay still than to act…"

Daoist Hun Yi nodded and asked the other:

"What does Daoist Yu Hua think?"

"What Daoist Qun Xing says is not wrong, it's just that…"

A withered, aged voice rose at just the right moment: "This opportunity is truly hard to come by, we absolutely cannot miss it. Even if those demons have some scheme, what of it?"

"If we miss this chance, how can we know there will be a next one?"

"This…"

Hearing what Daoist Yu Hua had said, Daoist Qun Xing fell silent, and Daoist Hun Yi likewise said nothing for a long while.

Since one kalpa ago, when they had mistakenly trusted that Chuanfa Tianzun, causing all the disciples of the various sects to be thrown into Ru Zui Fa Jie, they had held enormous wariness toward every outside cultivator.

But, just as Daoist Yu Hua had said, this opportunity was too rare.

The Three Saints, Five Emperors, and Twelve Jin Xian had all been driven out of the realm by the Dao Sect, and there were no other helpers from the Greater Heavens—such a situation had never occurred in all of history.

"What Daoist Yu Hua says is not wrong."

After a long while, Daoist Qun Xing spoke: "No matter what scheme those extradimensional demons have, this opportunity cannot be missed… Perhaps we should contact the other Daoists."

"Not appropriate."

Daoist Hun Yi, however, did not agree: "Besides the three of us, everyone else is suspected of colluding with the Three Saints Sect. Whether they are enemy or friend is still unknown…"

Daoist Yu Hua, however, gave a scoffing laugh:

"This concerns the ownership of Ru Zui Fa Jie. Enemy or friend—even the three of us, in the end, will still have to settle it among ourselves. What do the two Daoists think?"

"Daoist Yu Hua is thinking a bit too far ahead."

Daoist Qun Xing gave a wry laugh, but did not refute. After a pause, he said: "Even though Ru Zui Fa Jie has no Dao Sovereign presiding over it, wanting to seize it is easier said than done."

"The two Daoists have grand ambitions, but this poor Daoist only wishes to rescue the disciples within the Tower of Heavenly Sin. I will not contest the ownership of Ru Zui Fa Jie with the two of you…"

Silence hung in the void for a long while.

"The two of you are getting ahead of yourselves. We might as well wait and see…"

Daoist Hun Yi spoke:

"If those extradimensional demons truly can shake the Tower of Heavenly Sin, then so be it. If they cannot, then no matter how much we say now, it will only earn us ridicule."

"Agreed!"

……

Wooo~

The void was dark and boundless.

Daoist Wu Shuai walked slowly through this place. Gazing into the far distance, he could faintly perceive a faint light.

The void he was presently in lay between the present world and the Ruins of Return. The light he saw might be a strange land, or it might be someone's Ren De Fa Fa Jie dharma-heaven, but he could not tell which, nor could he invade from here.

Yet traveling through this place, one could move at extreme speed through many star domains, and even between Greater Heavens.

"The Xuanhuang Greater Realm truly lives up to its name as a top-tier Greater Heaven. Though it is not as vast as our Tian Mo Fa Jie, it far surpasses other Greater Heaven worlds…"

Walking here and looking all around, Daoist Wu Shuai was extremely interested in that old tree that had given birth to the Xuanhuang Greater World.

"A pity, I cannot swallow it."

The moment that thought of regret arose, Daoist Wu Shuai suppressed it. An old monster capable of bearing the creation of a top-tier Greater Heaven—even he himself, let alone his cheap master, the Nine Spirit Primordial Demon, might not be able to swallow it.

Otherwise, this old tree would long ago have been refined by the Three Saints of Xuanhuang into a supreme treasure.

"Wooo~"

After a long while, accompanied by a low, throbbing hum, Daoist Wu Shuai arrived atop a nine-tier warship that existed within the void.

This was his life-bound spiritual treasure, refined only after expending the flesh and blood of demons numbering in the tens of millions—the Demon Cloud Flying Ship.

Within the great ship was another world entirely, but Daoist Wu Shuai merely sat quietly on the deck. He raised his hand and drew out a wisp of dark demonic Qi, summoning the many demons and demonic cultivators he had guided into Ru Zui Fa Jie.

Hun Yi Sect outpost.
