Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

”Crazy?”

Mu Zili looked at Quan Xiaotong’s astonished face and suddenly smiled.

This was not a sudden impulse, but a plan he had carefully considered and deduced over the past few days.

There were some things Mu Zili did not intend to hide from the other party. After all, Quan Xiaotong was currently a leading figure, and if he wasn’t aware of many things, it would be difficult for him to make appropriate judgments.

Mu Zili briefly informed the other party of the conversation from that day, and as expected, Quan Xiaotong was stupefied on the spot.

It wasn’t just the shocking content but also the overwhelming amount of information that left him stunned.

The atmosphere remained silent for a long time. After a while, Quan Xiaotong exhaled a deep breath.

Now he finally understood what the other party meant by saying he was barely considered a Central Continent person, let alone the others.

In this sense, it could actually be regarded as a civil war within the Central Continent.

It’s just that this civil war originated ten thousand years ago, its layout taking too long.

”Why does everything originate from the Central Continent, and why do we, all being Central Continent people, insist on annihilating each other?”

Quan Xiaotong sighed despondently.

This was something he couldn’t comprehend. If it were people from two different worlds, perhaps there wouldn’t be a trace of compassion.

However, they could all be considered Central Continent people. Even if they’re from two small worlds, they were still carved out from the Central Continent, which should also be considered Central Continent’s territory, right!

”Most cultivators on both sides are unaware of these matters, and even if they knew, it would be useless.”

Because they cannot decide their own fate.

Mu Zili shook his head. If it weren’t for their family defecting, even if they knew this, they would still have to follow orders!

Furthermore, the real decision-makers are the supreme beings on both sides, the Celestial Beings from ten thousand years ago.

”My master said, those at the top on both sides have already transcended the concept of being human, so don’t hold any illusions.”

Mu Zili sighed slowly.

Returning to the main topic, after Mu Zili restructured the whole situation.

The array of the Yama Hall had already been taken over by the Golden Cicada, and the arrangement of the overseas Celestial Dao Sect required a continuous flow of vitality.

Both sides need to harvest the souls or life force of Central Continent cultivators to nourish the array, and now they’ve withdrawn from the Central Continent, yet there’s still no movement.

That makes it all very intriguing.

”Are both sides still against their own arrangements?”

Quan Xiaotong didn’t have as much understanding of both sides as Mu Zili, so he opened his mouth to listen to the other’s analysis.

Mu Zili nodded solemnly, ”This is not a simple battle, but a struggle for that supreme position, so everything revolves around this. It’s not just a matter of life and death struggle.”

Engaging in a fight also depends on whether it has meaning. The two sides will not engage in meaningless struggles. Once they do fight, it will inevitably be for the sake of their arrangements.

The Yama Hall’s array has been destroyed, and the remaining arrangements are like a millstone hanging over the Central Continent.

As for the Celestial Dao Sect, they also want to bring the Celestial River back to the Central Continent.

Thus, Mu Zili can almost be certain that both sides being so quiet this time must mean they’re secretly trying to bring back the sacred artifacts.

”Can those two really restrict the Heavenly Dao?”

Quan Xiaotong couldn’t help but ask.

Mu Zili nodded solemnly. This was something the old Taoist said, so it likely isn’t wrong.

Especially with the millstone now spanning the Central Continent and the overseas Celestial River, if they were useless, both sides wouldn’t go through so much trouble in preparation.

”If possible, don’t let them succeed in this.”

That’s what Mu Zili meant earlier about disrupting things. Since the consequences of bringing down the two sacred artifacts cannot be guaranteed, the best solution is not to let them come down.

Quan Xiaotong couldn’t help but give a bitter smile upon hearing this.

Given their current precarious situation, this would probably be even harder for them!

”Isn’t there still that troublemaker? That’s an advantage.”

Mu Zili had a vague feeling that this wasn’t just his thought, but probably the purpose of the Heavenly Dao backing Han Yu.

Han Yu’s ability to disrupt is too strong. Yama Hall has already been disrupted once, and the Celestial Dao Sect has been disrupted once too.

If there are a few more disruptions, it might give the Central Continent more breathing space.

...

Swish!

Han Yu at this moment just wanted to curse, damn it, why didn’t that dead ghost tell him there’d be so many people here?

Artifact Spirit looked grim, actually wanting to curse as well.

”You didn’t wait for the person to finish speaking before you killed them. Whose fault is that?”

In a forest of golden light, every giant tree was so thick that it took several people to hug, and the golden crowns were full of luminous orange leaves, glittering brightly with spirituality.

Just approaching within a few miles allowed one to feel the immense Qi fortune within, which was even denser than the Celestial Dao Sect’s broken stone.

”Each tree should have thirty to forty years’ worth of Qi fortune.”

The Artifact Spirit’s mouth gaped wide, almost blinded by the immense Qi fortune.

”Damn it, this is indeed the most essential place.”

Han Yu suddenly gritted his teeth, no wonder the cultivators on both sides were vastly different from those in the Central Continent.

With such a dense spiritual Qi environment and such a huge amount of Qi fortune, even if it couldn’t be directly used, there could still be some indirect benefits.

Under such conditions, even a pig could fly.

Han Yu looked at those countless cultivators sitting under the trees in cultivation and felt inexplicably annoyed.

”They’re absorbing my Qi fortune. Those are all mine.”

Even though he hadn’t acted yet, Han Yu had already considered these Enlightenment Forest trees to be his own.

The Artifact Spirit’s face darkened, and its mouth twitched.

Goodness, this greedy bastard had already decided on ownership.

”You would find it difficult to take these things in front of so many people.”

Artifact Spirit shook its head; there were too many people. Surely, he couldn’t just act right in front of everyone’s eyes?

These were all mere cannon fodder, sure, but once he acted, Han Yu would be completely exposed here.

These cannon fodders could be easily eliminated, but this wasn’t the Central Continent; it was the main base of Yama Hall.

No one could predict what would happen once exposed.

”Exposure may not be necessary.”

Han Yu suddenly had a thought, then quietly approached.

He found the most secluded Enlightenment Tree, its massive roots coiled in a tangled mess, yet some were as thick as an arm.

Han Yu suddenly grabbed one of the thicker roots and couldn’t help but speak to Ping.

”Without swallowing it, can you directly draw it out?”

It shouldn’t be said to directly absorb it; after all, it was through Han Yu as an intermediary.

Han Yu recalled having been used as an intermediary once, way back during the night raid in Shuzhou Prefecture, where he let Ping absorb the other party’s Fire Divine Power through him.

He hadn’t used it since, partly because such a method could easily expose Han Yu’s secret.

Secondly, this method was far less efficient than directly dropping it into the Sea of Consciousness for Ping to devour.

But in the current environment, it seemed impossible to toss each tree into the Sea of Consciousness.

As Han Yu’s words fell into the Sea of Consciousness, Ping indeed began to move.

After a shake, it rose to hover above the Sea of Consciousness, its mouth facing down as suction force suddenly emerged.

Then Han Yu’s expression immediately turned joyful. He could feel a strange sensation continuously gathering at his hand from the thick roots, then flowing from his hand into the Sea of Consciousness.

Though the speed was not fast, it was continuous and unceasing.

It’s really possible.

Han Yu was overjoyed, and even the Artifact Spirit was thrilled, waving its hands and feet.

This truly meant that the entire Enlightenment Forest had become theirs.

Under the Enlightenment Forest, countless cultivators remained oblivious, still sitting with eyes closed in deep meditation.

Unaware that beneath them, there was a busy figure stealing away to their heart’s content.
