Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Provoking the Killing Tribulation, The Intensity Evolves!Chu Xuan watched as the Wu Ancestors were once again awakened by his scolding and secretly nodded in approval. Then, he cheerfully revealed his next plan.

“Although I have been involved in other matters in recent years, I have not forgotten to pay attention to what has been happening in the Primordial Realm! Though it started as a casual idea, it has now swept across the entire Primordial Realm. The Wu and Yao races are involved, the Three races have returned, and many mighty beings, including Da Luo Golden Immortals, are caught in chaotic battles. All of this shows that this plan still has potential to be mined. The battle for the Saint position has nothing to do with us, but profiting from the Saint position is very much related to us! However, looking at these years, the intensity of this plan is still insufficient. Up to now, only a few Da Luo Golden Immortals have died. Is this good? This is not good! Everyone still has their limits, and there is no tacit understanding. Not a single mighty being has fallen! Then how can the Saint position be taken? Without chaos, how can there be opportunity? Without chaos, how can we recruit more Saints? How can we weaken the Yao race and all forces that can resist the Wu race? My brothers and sisters, I have a plan! It’s not perfect, but it is enough to supplement the current plan! We will personally step in, act in the shadows, tempt the deities, create killings, and turn this plan into a true killing tribulation! For instance, we could go and ambush the disciples of the Three Pure Ones, which will force the Three Pure Ones to emerge, or disguise ourselves as some mighty being and stir up conflicts. This will, in turn, revive old enmities between the Three races, or even force a future Saint to enter the Yao race and provoke numerous Da Luo Golden Immortals of the Yao race and cause internal strife! If necessary, we could provoke the gods to attack the Yao race’s Heavenly Court! At this point, my brothers and sisters can already evolve the Twelve Divine Heavenly Demon Formation. Whether it’s power or concealment of the heavenly secrets, it has been maximized. Even Hongjun cannot see through us right now. In these last thousand years, at the very least, we must take down a Saint position! And on the surface, we must actively protect those Saints who are willing to come close to us! A single Saint’s karma is too little! Three are too few fallen Da Luo Golden Immortals and great masters!”

Listening to Chu Xuan’s speech, many Wu Ancestors felt their scalps tingle. This plan was not grand and majestic. In fact, it could be considered a correction to the previous plan. But it was incredibly ruthless!

Chu Xuan was not satisfied with just that. He used his wisdom to evolve various strategies and demonstrated them to the Wu Ancestors. The scene of one mighty being after another falling, the world descending into chaos, and even future Saints perishing was vividly depicted.

Many Wu Ancestors felt their scalps go numb.

After a long silence, the cold and beautiful female Wu Ancestor, Xuan Ming, spoke hesitantly.

“Have you been planning this all these years?”

At first, she was just trying to break the silence and express her inner shock. But to her surprise, Chu Xuan directly shook his head and said something that made the Wu Ancestors even more alarmed.

“How could it be! This small matter could not have occupied me for a thousand years. That’s a more perfect plan of mine! If it succeeds, it will truly boost the luck of my Wu race. But let’s not talk about that for now. Let’s finish this first! Once we complete this, you will understand!”

The Wu Ancestors were stunned!

Suddenly, Di Jiang felt that he had agreed to Chu Xuan’s plan too easily earlier.

Various poisonous schemes—if executed well, they could work. But if something went wrong, the Wu race would definitely become the enemy of the entire Primordial Realm.

It would have been better to just sit on the mountains and watch the tigers fight. At least there would be no risk and they could gain benefits for nothing.

Di Jiang didn’t understand why Chu Xuan was so obsessed with trying to secure a Saint and attempting to oppose Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Although Dao Ancestor Hongjun had been somewhat antagonistic toward the Wu race, he hadn’t done too much yet.

But since he had already agreed earlier, Di Jiang didn’t dare to refute it. After all, term precautionary measures could explain everything.

In the end, he could only offer one reason.

“Although there are disputes in the Primordial Realm now, due to the tacit understanding of the Dao Ancestor giving lectures, the range of influence of actions is still limited! It’s also because of this that the Saint position has not yet been taken, and the deities have not fallen! If we follow your plan, expanding the conflict and evolving it into a killing tribulation, it will inevitably break the tacit understanding. Isn’t that a bit problematic?”

At first, Di Jiang didn’t expect to persuade Chu Xuan. He was just instinctively offering some advice.

But to his surprise, Chu Xuan nodded in agreement.

“Indeed, this will definitely break the tacit understanding. It might even evolve to the point where it draws that person’s intervention! So…”

“So you’re giving up?” Di Jiang asked in surprise.

Chu Xuan looked at him with some astonishment before replying, “What do you mean to give up? This killing tribulation cannot be in vain! So, we need to move faster to finish our plans before that person steps in! Let the killing tribulation erupt in an instant! And prioritize the Yao race! Currently, the Yao race is our biggest visible opponent! Since that’s the case, let’s think of a way to bring Jie Yin and Zhun Ti into the Yao race! Coincidentally, during this time, Emperor Jun had several contacts, and Jie Yin and Zhun Ti also showed some signs! As for the Three Pure Ones, just let them be a part of the chaos. Don’t do too much!”

Listening to Chu Xuan’s calm explanation, Di Jiang smiled bitterly but accepted it. At least if they did less, the risk would be smaller.

On the side, Hou Tu, who had been worried, finally let out a breath. If it only exploded in an instant, the impact wouldn’t be too great.

Strangely, Hou Tu felt somewhat satisfied.

Not only could they strike at the Wu race’s enemies, but it wouldn’t be too harsh either.

Under Chu Xuan’s influence, the originally kind and gentle Hou Tu had gradually started to overlook many issues and had changed in some ways.

…….

Under Chu Xuan’s persuasion, the Wu race finally began to take action.

Thanks to breakthroughs made in secret by figures like Zhu Rong over the past thousand years, the Wu race now boasted seven Quasi-Saints. In the Primordial Realm that has not yet fully entered the Quasi-Saints era, this was practically a crushing advantage.

It didn’t take long before Guang Chengzi, a disciple of the Three Clear Ones from Kunlun, suffered a terrifying assassination attempt. Several immensely powerful beings directly tore through his cave abode and stormed into the Three Clear Mountains, which alarmed Yuqing Yuanshi.

Yuanshi, who had been entertaining guests at the time, was forced to intervene immediately.

The hidden Da Luo Golden Immortals and other powerful beings observing the situation were momentarily stunned, unable to determine who was making a move. However, they still joined the fray in secret and directly attacked Yuanshi.

Surrounded and besieged by over a dozen concealed experts, Yuanshi was swiftly injured. If not for the timely arrival of Taiqing Laozi, Shangqing Tongtian Daoist, and a crowned figure, the situation could have turned dire.

It was hard to avoid certain unexpected events.

Yuanshi was furious.

“Preposterous! How dare they act this way!”

The crowned figure was Dong Wanggong, who had once assisted Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.

However, at that time, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti had been provoked and did not trust him. Moreover, after being betrayed by the other side, Dong Wanggong, despite being a mighty being, still had some pride and did not pursue the matter further.

Upon hearing the news that Kunlun had also been attacked, he naturally came to offer his aid. He was considered a cultivator of Mount Kunlun as well. Furthermore, the Three Pure Ones were considered respectable figures. There was no repeat of the misunderstanding that had occurred with Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.

After multiple acts of assistance, he had recently received an invitation to enter the cave and discuss the Dao.

Unexpectedly, shortly after his arrival, he once again witnessed an assassination attempt.

This assassination was terrifying to the extreme, as even the array protecting the stronghold capable of withstanding the might of a great master was instantly torn apart.

It was undoubtedly the work of a Quasi-Saint level expert, or perhaps multiple great masters acting together.

“Some can’t hold back anymore! There’s only one thousand years left, and no one can stay seated!” Tongtian Daoist spoke gravely.

The array was primarily set up by him, and he knew well the methods that could instantly tear apart such an array.

“They are trying to provoke the three Dao brothers to leave the cave, and without the advantage of the terrain, the Three Pure Ones can easily be defeated one by one!”

Dong Wanggong gave his opinion at the right moment.

Listening to their words, the enraged Yuanshi gradually calmed down. He first thanked Dong Wanggong.

“Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your help earlier! However, now that the array has been damaged, the discussion of Dao will have to be postponed!”

Upon hearing this, Dong Wanggong wisely stood up and took his leave, as the other party needed to repair their stronghold, and it would not be appropriate for outsiders to stay.

However, once he left, Taiqing Laozi spoke leisurely.

“It wasn’t him!”

Yuqing Yuanshi shook his head with cold eyes.

“He only just arrived, and such an incident happens. It’s too coincidental. It may not have been a mere coincidence. It could very well be an inside job, and even if it fails, it could still extract our trust!”

“Things like this have happened in the past.”

“I can sense that, aside from those other forces involved, the first few who made their moves were at least great masters.”

“How many great masters are there in the world?”

Taiqing Laozi sighed.

“It’s a time of great trouble!”

…….

Soon, Kunlun was frequently attacked, with the incidents becoming more and more frequent. It wasn’t just the Three Pure Ones; even the Da Luo Golden Immortals and great masters stationed outside started to realize it.

Some fellow Daoists couldn’t sit still anymore! Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The last thousand years!

A strange, tense atmosphere enveloped everyone.

More and more Da Luo Golden Immortals and great masters acted even more recklessly.

Meanwhile, Zhun Ti and Jieyin, who were still fleeing for their lives, encountered danger several times, and the intensity was clearly rising.
