Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Finally resolving the trouble with Pills, while the people of Central Continent were still busy experimenting various possibilities with the two Pills, Han Yu found himself a quiet place.

He still had matters to discuss with the Artifact Spirit.

This trial ground was too unusual; many things were unknown even to the Artifact Spirit before.

And what the Artifact Spirit didn’t know, Han Yu was even less likely to know.

After detailing the entire trial process, the person and the spirit remained silent.

Regarding understanding the path of earth, the Artifact Spirit had no objections.

After all, the heavens and the earth correspond, and the position of the earth path being superior was acceptable.

But what is this so-called destination for all beings?

Where do souls go?

These are things it doesn’t know.

In fact, it’s more concerned about the fact that its understanding all comes from Ping.

If it doesn’t know, then, does Ping know these things?

”You’re asking me?”

Han Yu asked incredulously.

You, an Artifact Spirit, don’t know your own matters, and you’re asking me, an outsider?

The Artifact Spirit clearly felt that asking Han Yu was impractical, so it turned to look at Ping.

Unfortunately, Ping just let the two communicate by themselves, without making any movement the entire time.

This was quite frustrating, as this thing acted like tough meat, pretending to be dead all day long, relying on the inability to speak.

Its knowledge reserves are now completely unable to match Han Yu’s experiences.

This was not the first time that something beyond its understanding had occurred.

”It seems Central Continent is not that simple either.”

After pondering for a while, it only managed to say this, causing Han Yu to roll his eyes.

Isn’t this obvious? If Central Continent can catch the attention of both Yama Hall and Celestial Dao Sect, surely there’s something unique about it.

The Artifact Spirit waved its hand angrily; it wasn’t finished yet.

”Aren’t you curious about what they want from Central Continent?”

Han Yu was momentarily stunned; this was something he truly didn’t know.

If they wanted to occupy Central Continent, they had already done so.

If Central Continent had something worth them coveting, it should now be within easy reach.

Yet, both sides continued to linger, and he felt this was merely the beginning, the earlier events seemed more like minor skirmishes.

In fact, he wasn’t wrong, because an unexpected visitor soon arrived.

When Ling Wuce sought out Han Yu, the old Daoist was already wandering around New City.

”He’s here again!”

Han Yu clearly wasn’t too pleased with him, after all, considering how high a Realm he was in, anyone coming here to trouble him would definitely be stronger.

Meng Yun is just the best example.

If it happens again, what about New City?

This guy, couldn’t he go find Su Xiaoxiao instead?

”No way!”

The first thing the old Daoist said upon seeing Han Yu was this.

What’s the point of finding Su Xiaoxiao? That rebellious disciple never hopes for anything good for himself, so it’s better to come to Han Yu for betting.

If nothing else, that skillful little fellow can also be wagered with.

This guy acted familiarly, wandering around for half a day, causing Han Yu’s face to turn black.

Moments later, the old Daoist suddenly remembered and patted his forehead, ”I forgot, I’m here to tell you an important matter.”

Having thought of the main matter, the old Daoist’s demeanor changed, he looked earnestly at Han Yu and spoke solemnly.

”There’s movement at Yama Hall...”

The Council Hall in New City was once again bustling, Quan Xiaotong and others wore worried expressions as they looked at the sand table.

Han Yu couldn’t help but bring the old Daoist here after hearing the first part.

Such a significant movement at Yama Hall, what’s the point of informing only him, it’s better to come and let Quan Xiaotong, that formidable old strategist, analyze it.

Quan Xiaotong glanced at Han Yu helplessly, how useful could his strategy be, the so-called planning is based on the premise of little gap between two sides, only then can tactics be employed.

Yet action must be taken, even with weaker strength, Central Continent must still have its resistance.

Remaining motionless would truly be allowing oneself to be slaughtered.

The old Daoist restated Mu Zili’s hypothesis, although it’s no longer a hypothesis.

For when he mentioned the arrival of the Soul Hall Master in the Western Territory, Quan Xiaotong held the same view.

Though he didn’t know what the Soul Hall Master was, surely he could tell it was a significant figure. Such a person coming to Central Continent could hardly be for leisure, and with purpose, naturally, they must target the eye of the formation.

Thinking about this, he instinctively shifted his gaze to the old Daoist and carefully spoke.

”Senior, your coming here to deliver this message, is it your personal intent, or is it the intention of Celestial Dao Sect?”

The old Daoist didn’t understand the implications and tilted his head in confusion.

”Does it matter?”

Quan Xiaotong solemnly nodded, ”It matters greatly.”

If it was merely the personal intention of the old Daoist, then Central Continent’s participation, how to participate, and the objectives — these could all be strategized independently by Central Continent.

If it implied the intentions of the Celestial Dao Sect, then it meant they wished to collaborate with Central Continent.

At that point, how and in what manner Central Continent would participate would need to align with their cooperation.

Moreover, Quan Xiaotong also wanted to seize the opportunity to gather some intelligence from the Celestial Dao Sect.

Unfortunately, the old Daoist shook his head. In Mu Zili’s comprehensive plan, the people of Central Continent were not even considered, let alone as partners.

”Let’s just say it is my own intention.”

After all, he and Han Yu shared a ’life-and-death’ friendship, and just coming by to mention it causally was no bother.

The old Daoist spoke tactfully, but most of the people from Central Continent understood the meaning behind his words.

It felt stifling, as if they were not even worthy of consideration.

Even Han Yu frowned; this feeling of being utterly dismissed was far from pleasant.

It boiled down to Central Continent’s lack of strength.

As for why the old Daoist sought out Han Yu...

”Shall we go together and create a little trouble?”

The old Daoist was quite cunning. If he went alone, he didn’t want to trouble his disciples, but bringing this peculiar young man along seemed safe.

This was because Han Yu had demonstrated the powerful and peculiar nature of his Dharma Aspect, so the old Daoist was willing to take him along for the adventure.

Should he go?

Han Yu, without hesitation, naturally decided to go.

”Central Continent will participate as well.”

Quan Xiaotong suddenly spoke up, staring at the sand table. In such matters, even if Central Continent was weak, they couldn’t just sit idly by.

As for how to participate, he didn’t say, but instead reminded Han Yu first.

”Take care of your safety by yourself. Those blue pills have been refined quite a bit; remember to take them with you.”

These Earth and Wood Pills, considered highly toxic, were continuously being refined. As Quan Xiaotong said, refine as many as possible, and don’t be stingy with the Spirit Medicine.

With such a terrifying Dharma Aspect, Han Yu would undoubtedly use it over and over, and this was prepared as a backup.

Over at the Southern Border, when Mu Zili arrived, the troops were ready to set off, but Su Xiaoxiao was nowhere to be seen.

Upon inquiry, it was known that he went off to provoke the bait of Yama Hall again.

Which bait?

It was naturally Aunt Bridge and the others. The first thing Su Xiaoxiao did upon returning from where the East and West Realms meet was to continue pursuing and hunting those few people.

One must say, Aunt Bridge had the ability to rescue the other three in a situation where everyone was damaged in combat.

What once seemed useless, the stone bridge was now the foundation for survival in the Southern Border.

It was by relying on such means that they managed to escape the Celestial Dao Sect’s pursuit time and time again.

However, the situation once again turned dire, because Su Xiaoxiao, the bastard, had returned.

Who knows what kind of grudge or enmity warranted him to go to such lengths to surround and kill them.

Aunt Bridge, after using the stone bridge three times in a row, attempted to traverse the entire Southern Border at the cost of physical harm.

Unfortunately, this time their calculation was wrong, as Su Xiaoxiao, full of people with the Way, would not let them escape again.

When the stone bridge spanned the void for the last time, Su Xiaoxiao was already waiting at the bridgehead.

The four figures stumbled out and looked at nearly a hundred cultivators, turning pale instantly.

Su Xiaoxiao brought out one person; that was the only survivor from the once five-member group, besides the Wandering Spirit Daoist.

Just like now, they were once surrounded.

However, today the situation had reversed.

”Did you know you were bait?”

”Do you know Meng Yun sent you to die?”

Su Xiaoxiao cruelly smiled at the four who were now like abandoned dogs, full of mockery.

They naturally knew; they had guessed it when Su Xiaoxiao hastily left a few days ago.

Sure enough, the Holy Sect was making a big move, so they were not only to hold off Su Xiaoxiao but to distract him by having him attack them.

However, the fact that they could see Su Xiaoxiao again also revealed several issues.

Like Meng Yun?

Like the Holy Sect’s plan?

Su Xiaoxiao continued to mock, ”Meng Yun was too careless, and my senior brother reduced him to ashes, but don’t worry, you few baits will soon join him.”

Aunt Bridge and others’ expressions changed dramatically; Meng Yun was actually dead!

Then what about them...

”Kill!”

At that moment, Su Xiaoxiao’s murderous intent reached its peak as he led the charge with the stars, and the cries of battle behind him were deafening, with peculiar phenomena appearing, and nearly a hundred stars smashing down simultaneously...
