Chapter 480

The Soul-Searching Palace could also stand tall in the world.

He would ascend the divine platform, revered by all the people.

The emperors of the three great dynasties would have to prostrate themselves at his feet.

But all such fantasies, with Ximen Wudi's sword from beyond the heavens—

were shattered……

That sword made him understand what it meant that beyond the heavens there is heaven, and beyond people there are people.

"Divine General……"

"Here!"

"Go, gather information on the Qinglong Society and Ximen Wudi—the more detailed, the better."

At this moment, the Undying God Changsheng regained his fighting spirit anew.

Although the sword from beyond the heavens, he could neither unleash it nor receive it.

However!

He was the very one who had created the Heaven-Shifting Divine Art, the Undying God Changsheng who had lived for countless years.

Even the Heavenly Dao Golden List had specifically mentioned the Bu Divine Clan!

He could continue to climb toward an even higher realm.

The next peak was Ximen Wudi!

"As you command!"

The Divine General departed upon receiving the order.

……

You Dongying, a barren mountain.

After the sword from beyond the heavens appeared in the world, the Boss had panicked and rushed to this place.

"Big Brother? What do you think?"

It was daytime, and the Great Demon God still looked like a commoner from the countryside, but the Boss did not dare to slight him in the slightest.

"That sword—I cannot unleash it……"

The Great Demon God's lips twitched slightly, with a good deal of bitterness.

All along, he had believed that the only one under heaven who could fight him was his father—Xiao Sanxiao.

And he had always taken defeating Xiao Sanxiao, unleashing the Thousand Autumns Calamity, and destroying the Nine Provinces that Xiao Sanxiao loved most as his mission.

But now he realized all of this was absurdly wrong.

A Ximen Wudi who had previously had no fame at all, and had never been heard of—

how had he suddenly become invincible?

"No way? Not even on the night of the full moon?"

The Boss could see something was off with Big Brother's expression, but still refused to give up hope.

"Heh! Don't even mention the night of the full moon—even the old man, I'm afraid, couldn't do it either……"

Speaking of the old man, the Great Demon God gave a cold, sinister smile.

In a flash, he understood—since even the old man couldn't do it, what was there left for him to care about?

"No way! The old man has lived for three thousand years, and has the Black Tortoise Essence within him."

"His cultivation, if not the finest under heaven, is still rare in this world."

"Otherwise, how could the two of us be cooped up in this poor, remote backwater?"

The Boss still could not believe it. Although, like the Great Demon God, he deeply hated Xiao Sanxiao,

Xiao Sanxiao did indeed stand somewhat unattainably high in their hearts.

"The fact is exactly this……"

The Great Demon God was somewhat disheartened, but this was indeed the fact.

"Then by that reasoning, we actually shouldn't make an enemy of the Qinglong Society?"

These two brothers—one focused on cultivating Wu Gong, always secretly raising his strength in the shadows;

the other, with "Ten Thousand Dao Forest" as his foundation, had always roamed the world, plotting the Thousand Autumns Calamity.

Therefore, compared to the Great Demon God who had been cultivating all along, the Boss was actually a more clear-headed person, and thought more.

"Mm? Wasn't it you who said the Qinglong Society's power is deeply entrenched and tangled, almost bearing the shadow of the number-one force of the Nine Provinces?"

"To unleash the Thousand Autumns Calamity, we have to first destroy the Qinglong Society, no?"

The Great Demon God asked in confusion.

"Big Brother, think about it—what is the purpose of us unleashing the Thousand Autumns Calamity?"

"It's to get back at the old man!"

"Then in your opinion, compared with the old man, who is stronger and who is weaker, Ximen Wudi or him?"

"Of course Ximen Wudi!"

"Then why don't we throw in our lot with Ximen Wudi, let him deal with the old man, and we're done?"

"Huh?"

The Great Demon God was utterly stunned by the Boss's wonderfully bizarre train of thought.

"We can do that?"

"Why not?"

The Boss clapped the Great Demon God on the shoulder,

"Big Brother, you know it too—earlier on the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List, didn't a Dragon Head Token appear?"

"This token, can it make the Qinglong Society do one thing?"

"Say, what if we join the Qinglong Society, then take the Longshou token."

"And request the Great Longshou Ximen Wudi to step in and teach the old man a lesson."

"What do you think — will the Great Longshou agree or not?"

Earlier he had always addressed him as Ximen Wudi, but now he had switched to Great Longshou.

The big boss's thinking had clearly changed completely.

Can't beat them, so join them!

If Ximen Wudi heard this, he'd probably have to give a thumbs up.

"This…"

The Great Demon God was still hesitating. He had trained bitterly for how many years, all for the sake of taking revenge with his own hands.

Now the big boss was telling him he didn't have to do it himself.

Then what was the point of staying in this godforsaken backwater all these years?

"Big brother, why are you so stubborn?"

The big boss knew the Great Demon God had been cultivating too long and was somewhat out of touch with worldly affairs,

"Actually, if we don't join the Qinglong Society, that would be the biggest trouble instead."

"The two of us combined might barely be an even match for the old man."

"But the old man can't beat the Great Longshou."

"Our previous plan was to set off the Thousand Autumn Calamity and keep the old man running ragged."

"Then borrow the power of the calamity to defeat the old man."

"But now, setting off the Thousand Autumn Calamity clearly means going head-on against the Qinglong Society."

"That means we'd have to deal with the Great Longshou."

"We can't even beat the old man — do you really still want to fight the Great Longshou?"

At this point, the Great Demon God thought of that sword strike from beyond the heavens the other day.

He couldn't help but shiver.

"Little brother, you're right."

"Let's go, we'll go join the Qinglong Society right now!"

"That's more like it."

The big boss laughed,

"With the strength of you and me, the Great Longshou will definitely entrust us with important tasks."

"Then we'll earn some merit, and add the Longshou token on top of that."
