Gaowu invasion, I can see the future

177: Grand Prince Jinzha, Zhao Yun, the successor of Zhuge!Chapter 176: First Crown Prince – Jinzha, Zhao Yun, and Zhuge’s Legacy Holders!

Yuan Guofeng didn’t keep Bai Yu in suspense and quickly revealed his current plan.

“Wang Family Village has a Legacy Holder of Jinzha, who awakened seven years ago. He is currently only at the Lingyuan Realm Peak and doesn’t yet have the ability to suppress the black tower.”

“And based on the mythological history we’ve gathered so far, the general process was that Black Dragon Emperor obtained the power of the Black Lotus Child’s innate lotus, becoming controlled by external Devilish Qi. Subsequently, the four Family Old Ancestors, in conjunction with the White Dragon here, attempted to suppress the Black Dragon.”

“However, during the battle, Jinzha intervened, using a Buddhist Dao method to suppress the Black Dragon Emperor.”

“Currently, according to the information you’ve divined and confirmation from higher-ups, the power of the black lotus flower petals will descend upon the black tower roughly tomorrow night.”

“According to the original trajectory, Black Dragon Emperor would have controlled someone and then been rescued by the Black Demon forces.”

“What we need to do now is completely eradicate the power of Black Dragon Emperor!”

“The best method isn’t suppression, but division!”

“Right now, the Wang Family has one Legacy Holder, plus you, a Legacy Holder connected to the Three Kingdoms system and Black Demon Progenitor, and two other Lingyuan Realm Peak Geniuses who are also related to this matter.”

“The four of you can attempt to divide Black Dragon Emperor.”

“The remaining scraps can be given to the Sakurajima people.”

“However, to be honest, that young man from Sakurajima, although his Realm isn’t Soul Sea, is deeply connected to the Black Demon and is highly talented. They might still have hidden methods.”

“If the five of you divide it, that one person on their side might take a significant portion.”

At this point, Yuan Guofeng patted Bai Yu’s shoulder and said, “Don’t you dare disgrace us, kid!”

“Absolutely! We’ll snatch everything this time!”

“Good! Then I’ll note that down; consider it a military order.”

“...Then, Senior, when will you urge Grandmaster to see if he can refine the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Pill for me before tomorrow night?”

Hearing this, Yuan Guofeng’s face darkened.

Given my teacher’s physique, and then look at my build, do I look like I can rush him?

The conversation wasn’t over yet. Bai Yu naturally had to go meet the so-called Jinzha expert.

As for the other two Lingyuan Realm Peak Geniuses, they were still on their way.

On the other side, the Sakurajima people were also heading back to their camp.

“Huizi, did you discern anything?”

Matsumoto Keiko’s eyes were still somewhat purple at this moment.

As Cultivators of the same system, others could also feel her Shikigami power constantly at work.

Matsumoto Keiko frowned slightly, looking uneasy. After a while, she said, “Fate has changed.”

“Oh? Will cooperating with those Huaxia people to set up the Formation actually lead to danger?”

Miyamoto Shinjo muttered, “Perhaps this Formation instead activated that ancient god.”

Matsumoto Keiko shook her head: “After the mist of fate cleared, originally, we might have had an incident. But now, the situation is under control.”

“Hmm? Have you ascertained the reason?”

“It involves an ancient god, I don’t know. But following the original fate, I saw this place become a ruin, and everyone died…”

Probing existing fate is relatively difficult.

However, probing those changed, predetermined fates is relatively easier.

And everyone was used to Matsumoto Keiko’s cryptic words.

Miyamoto Nobuhiro considered for a moment before saying, “I heard that the Zhongyuan Festival here in Huaxia is quite chaotic, even more exaggerated than our Hundred Demons Night Parade. It’s in three days.”

“Could it be that the ‘unfavorable celestial phenomena’ they mentioned mean waiting until three days later?”

Matsumoto Keiko shook her head: “Probably not. The Black Demon lineage has its own unique celestial phenomena. It has nothing to do with Zhongyuan Festival ghosts. Perhaps we’ll have an answer tomorrow night.”

Hearing these vague words, Miyamoto Shinjo said unhappily, “It’s really troublesome to be on someone else’s territory! It would be great if we could set up a Star Formation.”

But these were just words.

A Star Formation doesn’t just detect the Black Demon.

This is equivalent to probing other people’s confidential data, which also involves some of Huaxia’s powerful figures and their Dao related to the stars, so it’s definitely not allowed.

Bai Yu arrived at the camp at the foot of Gu Ta Village.

He also met the so-called Jinzha Legacy Holder.

As Legacy Holders of ancient gods, they all have a complete Cultivation Dao, and their Cultivation speed is fast.

Their lower limit is high, while their upper limit is tied to the ancient god.

Ordinary Cultivators might have a very low lower limit, but their upper limit is endless!

Many powerful figures did not walk the ancient god’s Dao. Or rather, the ancient god’s Dao was merely auxiliary to them.

They did not completely follow the ancient god’s Dao.

And this Jinzha Legacy Holder can also be considered a Genius, becoming an ancient god Awakener at 17. Now at 24, he’s only three years older than Bai Yu.

His strength is at the Mid to Late Stage Ling Yuan Realm, and his combat power definitely exceeds Level 25.

From his appearance, he was a man with a strong military aura, especially his signature flat-top haircut.

This person also extended his hand and said, “My name is Li Zha, a Corporal in military rank, currently a member of the Tianhai City Guard.”

Bai Yu was a bit surprised.

Surname Li?

Li Zha could tell Bai Yu’s thoughts from his expression and said, “Wang Family Village now has six or seven surnames, no need to be surprised.”

“Ah, alright. My name is Bai Yu, an ordinary investigator from the Jiangnan District Investigation Bureau of Tianhai City.”

“Haha, ordinary? From the information I received before I came, your combat record is quite dazzling.”

Li Zha naturally couldn’t see all of Bai Yu’s information; in fact, he couldn’t see 90% of it.

But even the little that was revealed was extraordinary!

Bai Yu said politely, “It’s all thanks to a good captain and the Senior’s guidance.”

“Hmm, I know your team leader too. He does have some talent. It’s just that he chose the difficult Sword Dao. I wonder what his current strength is?”

“Some talent…”

From his tone, it sounded a bit like he was evaluating a junior.

But the team leader seemed to be a year older than him.

Bai Yu thought for a moment. When out and about, he had to boost his captain’s value.

“Working together with me, killing a Lingyuan Realm Peak demon should be no problem.”

“Oh? He chose to advance to the Ling Yuan Realm?”

“Half-step Ling Yuan, Advanced within ten days.”

Li Zha asked in confusion, “A half-step Ling Yuan has this much strength?”

Bai Yu: “...Working together with me. So, I don’t count as a unit of measurement, huh?”

But then, he said excitedly, “Haha~! Perfect! After we finish things here, I have a holiday, and I’ll go meet him with you.”

“Alright!”

From their simple exchange, Li Zha had a certain arrogance.

This was normal; Geniuses usually were like this.

Moreover, many Geniuses liked to compare themselves with and challenge other Geniuses to improve themselves.

In a situation of great disadvantage, mutual competition was also normal.

Then, Li Zha remembered something and asked, “By the way, I heard there’s a Sakurajima person named Miyamoto Shinjo who’s cooperating with us. Are you familiar with him?”

“Yes, the successor of taichou, one of Abe no Seimei’s Twelve Shikigami. taichou is also the Three-legged Golden Crow. He has the strength of Lingyuan Realm Peak. In terms of combat power, he might reach Level 32 to 35.”

He got this data from Professor Yuan.

Of course, this might be his usual combat power.

If he unleashed unknown methods, he would definitely be stronger.

Hearing that the combat power reached this level, Li Zha’s smile faded slightly.

It was clearly an expression he only showed when encountering a formidable opponent.

“He is indeed very strong! But this time, it’s our home ground, so we absolutely cannot fall behind. When the other two guys arrive in the evening, we can have a good discussion.”

“Alright!”

With that, the two dispersed and went to Cultivate separately.

Li Zha didn’t avoid others when Cultivating.

When he circulated his Qi, he would emit golden Buddhist light, and even a halo would form behind him.

This halo moved with him.

Bai Yu also found another spot and sat cross-legged.

Thunder Movement!

Time passed by minute by minute.

Night quickly fell.

The other two Geniuses involved in this matter also arrived, one of whom was the successor of Zhao Yun!

This person had sharp eyes and was full of vigor, at 26 years old, he indeed had the demeanor of a famous general.

The other was a descendant of an ancient martial arts Family, with an air of scholarly refinement about him.

And he dressed like a modern scholar.

When the two arrived, Li Zha’s eyes burned with fierce fire!

He was clearly motivated to fight.

The four ate together in the evening. The ingredients were all Advanced, greatly aiding their strength.

From the reactions of powerful figures like Yuan Guofeng, it was intentionally arranged this way.

Only when Genius clashes with Genius can more intense sparks fly!

Bai Yu, being at the Qi Gathering Realm, felt a bit awkward, like a husky entering a pack of wolves.

During the dinner, the other three discussed Cultivation, talking about the Bottlenecks and experiences of the Ling Yuan Realm, which was like a discussion of the Dao.

They also talked about the Immortal Rank and Heaven-Grade Acupoints they had each opened.

From the discussion, it was clear that everyone had embarked on different Dao.

Different Dao required opening different Acupoints.

And different Legacies also had limits on the number of Acupoints that could be opened.

A Qi Gathering Realm Cultivator could open a maximum of one hundred and eighty Acupoints.

The Ling Yuan Realm also had an upper limit.

Afterward, it was through Acupoints that the Soul Sea was opened!

Bai Yu had only Cultivated for a month, so he had no experience and could only listen silently.

The dinner ended.

Yuan Guofeng found Bai Yu and smiled, “Didn’t you usually talk a lot, kid? Why are you speechless when you meet Geniuses your age?”

Bai Yu rolled his eyes and said, “I’m afraid if I speak the truth, their Dao Heart might collapse easily. I can have Lingyuan Realm Peak combat power in one month and even defeat them. Can they accept that? They might think I’m bragging and want to spar with me.”

“Hahaha~ They are Geniuses among their peers after all! How could they be so easily provoked?”

“Moreover, this arrangement is also to let you stimulate them.”

“They are outstanding among their peers. Those who are stronger than them often have deep backgrounds. These people being stronger than them hardly inspires their fighting spirit.”

“But you are different! You are a pure wild card!”

“In the information they received, you don’t seem remarkable.”

Hearing this, Bai Yu’s eyes flickered, and he said, “If I help you pressure these three Geniuses, what’s in it for me?”

Yuan Guofeng: “...”

Shouldn’t young people be full of vigor and youthful arrogance?

Shouldn’t you actively want to show off?

Why are you asking for a reward now?

He considered for a moment and said, “I remember the higher-ups arranged an incentive system for your trip to Sancha River Town, right? You can gain more benefits during this five-day Cultivation trip.”

“I heard you’ve already done many significant things, and this Gu Ta Village incident is one of them.”

“If you can create a big stir, I’ll write a thousand-word essay to apply for it for you. How about it?”

Hearing this, Bai Yu’s eyes lit up: “Deal!”
