Reborn As a Tiger: I Become Invincible by Relying on the Number of Offspring

17: A clever strategy! A cunning move of retreat to advanceThe night wind was thick with the scent of gunpowder and blood. Di Tian sat atop the newly built Myriad Yao Council Hall, gazing at the crescent moon in the sky, lost in thought. The victory of repelling the three forces did not make him lower his guard; instead, it was like lifting a corner of the mist, revealing an even greater crisis.

“Ding! Detected that the three major forces are mobilizing reinforcements via teleportation arrays, estimated to arrive in seventy-two hours.” The System’s warning sound and “Ding! The 943rd offspring has been born, Awakening Wood-Water Purification attribute! Gained Dao Cultivation x 140” almost sounded simultaneously, but they failed to break his train of thought.

“Hard confrontation is absolutely not a good strategy.” Di Tian used his sharp claws to draw Five Elements symbols on the ground, the runes shimmering faintly. “Burning Heaven Sect excels in fire attacks, Netherworld Palace is proficient in evil arts, and Profound Heaven Sword Sect’s sword momentum is fierce. The combined attack formed by these three complementing each other is almost impenetrable.” He recalled the seemingly unintentional positioning of the Profound Heaven Sword Sect’s Law Enforcement Elder during the battle, which actually aligned with the starting stance of the Three Talents Sword Formation, causing his pupils to slightly contract—these old forces were definitely not as careless as they appeared.

When his White Tiger Consort approached with warm Spirit Fruits, Di Tian suddenly turned his head: “Pass down the order for the Qingluan Clan to scout teleportation nodes within a thousand li radius, and for the Silvermoon Fox Clan to disguise themselves as merchant caravans and infiltrate the territories of the three major forces, focusing on their material allocation and Cultivation Technique drills.” He handed her a Jade Slip engraved with a Candle Dragon totem. “Tell Candle Shadow to activate the ‘Earth Vein Resonance’ plan.”

“Ding! Hidden Quest Triggered: Intelligence Infiltration.”

“Quest Reward: Five Elements Stealth Art (Heaven Rank), Mysterious Ally Clue.”

As the command was relayed, the clan quickly began to operate. Di Tian, meanwhile, took out the xuanxiao sect secret jade slip he had obtained and repeatedly compared the “Hundred Demon Soul Refining Formation” recorded within it with the runes on the Divine Artifact fragment. “Xuanxiao Sect, Netherworld Palace... the obsession of these forces with ancient Formation Arrays is probably not just for strengthening their power.” His vertical eye suddenly lit up. A certain symbol on the Jade Slip perfectly overlapped with the imprint of the Five Elements guards in the Secret Realm trial. “They are searching for the key to unlock some forbidden existence!”

Three days later, when the vanguard of the three major forces entered the mountain forest, they found it empty. The former lair only had disguised Restrictions remaining; the true clan had already transferred to the intersection of the Five Elements Spiritual Veins through the earth vein passage. The Burning Heaven Sect Elder struck the false lair with his palm, but it triggered the “Five Elements Backlash Formation” set up by Di Tian. Crimson flames surged back, burning several Cultivators.

“Petty tricks!” The mysterious envoy from Netherworld Palace sneered, about to cast a Soul Refining spell, when the ground suddenly shook. Countless vines burst from the earth, enveloping Water Element Spiritual Qi to form a cage. This was the “Spirit Plant Imprisoning Heaven Formation” set up by Candle Shadow leading the Wood and Water attribute offspring. However, this was merely a bait. As the three forces exerted their full strength to break the Formation Array, Di Tian’s voice came from all directions:

“Do you think I would sit back and wait for death?” Di Tian, in his Dragon Transformation Human Form, stood in the air, Five Elements Spiritual Qi swirling around him. “Before the destruction of Xuanxiao Sect, I had already deciphered their secret correspondence with Netherworld Palace—” He threw out a burning talisman paper, revealing the words “Blood Moon Night, Altar Reopened.” “By my calculations, your mastermind should be getting impatient, shouldn’t he?”

The three forces immediately fell into commotion. The Profound Heaven Sword Sect’s Law Enforcement Elder’s gaze was like a torch: “You beast, stop trying to sow discord!” But the hand clutching his sword hilt betrayed his inner unease. Di Tian seized the opportunity to brandish his five elements panlong halberd. In the multicolored light bursting from the halberd tip, the phantom images of the Divine Artifact fragment and the candle dragon jade slip clearly appeared: “What you desire, I will bring to the true battlefield. Seven days from now, when the Blood Moon hangs in the sky, do you dare to come to Unreturning Abyss for a decisive battle?”

With that, he transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the sky, leaving the three major forces to look at each other, each with their own thoughts. At this moment, Di Tian had already returned to his secret stronghold. Looking at the newly born “944th offspring, Awakening Space-Time Perception Talent! Gained Dao Cultivation x 300” cub, a cold smile played on his lips. The chess game he had secretly arranged had just begun—the Unreturning Abyss suppressed an ancient Five Elements Great Formation, and guided by the candle dragon jade slip, he had already transformed it into a killing move against his enemies.

“On the night of the Blood Moon, let you self-righteous fellows taste the bitterness of being devoured by your own ambition.” Di Tian stroked the faint space-timeTexture on the cub’s forehead, his eyes gleaming with the light of someone holding the winning hand. In this game concerning Divine Artifacts, Bloodlines, and survival, he would use strategy and strength to write a chapter of victory belonging to the Yao Race.
