Chapter 775 Walking A Thin Line



Eastern Quadrant:

Wang Wei calmly watched Yin Gen's confrontation with Di Jiaying. After seeing his form, he also thought of the Body Ancestor's [Heaven and Earth Body]. His Fate Shadow Guard got their hands on that technique, and he had to agree it was superior to his [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture].

Simultaneously, he also thanked the Heavens that the Body Ancestor was a good-hearted individual after studying that technique. According to his analysis, the Body Ancestor's strength reached 1-Root Dao Ancestor before getting his hands on the Heaven Will, and that's a minimum prediction.

And after proving the Dao, his strength was on par with Eternal Supremes, meaning above 25% Grand Dao Source. If the latter wanted to absorb the Myriad Emperor World to cultivate his technique, no one at that age could stop him.

No, this man had the potential to be a catastrophe to the entire lower dimension. If he had the ambition to open the Gate of Power before ascending, he would have to destroy countless Heaven Will Worlds in his cultivation process.

Wang Wei theorized the latter used thousands of Great Thousand Worlds to temper his fleshly body, destroying these worlds in the process. Or he found many destroyed worlds from the Innate-Acquired War and used them for his cultivation.

'It's a shame this technique takes too much time and requires too many resources. Not to mention the karma debts from destroying these worlds,' he pondered.

He often sighed and praised the Body Ancestor's genius and madness for creating such a technique. After all, no sane person would create such a thing. However, after many analyses and discussions with Wu Hong, he realized the appearance of this technique was inevitable.

The cultivators in the Ancient Emperor Era studied Heaven and Earth to perfect the Cultivation Civilization. Array Masters studied Innate Formations; Alchemists, Talisman Makers, and Weapon Refiners studied Divine Runes found in nature.

So, it's not out of the ordinary for someone to use nature as the foundation for a body refining technique. However, the Body Ancestor took things to the extreme; he used the idea that the human body contains a universe and slowly turned it into one.

Of course, Wang Wei also understood why the Body Ancestor's dream of creating a supplementary body refining technique for the Origin System did not work. 

If he made his [Heaven and Earth Body], the cultivators of the Myriad Emperor World would definitely be the best in the lower dimension. However, they would also become a scourge civilization, invading countless World Communities and destroying millions of worlds.

And the final fate of such a civilization would be worse than the devil race. It would prosper for a short period before becoming extinct.

Wang Wei calmly watched the battle. And when Di Tian took action, he sent Yin Gen away.

…

Di Jiaying sighed in relief. The armor on her body turned into numerous motes of lights, disappearing into the unknown. She was not surprised by this fact. Gao Buqin's talent was very high, but he did not quite reach Yan Liling and Tong Ruobing's level.

This also meant he could not create Immortal Tier Artifacts. However, he could create temporary ones who would disappear after a short use–similar to Talismans.

'This person should be Yin Gen? But, what's gotten into him?' she thought, wondering why he was so ferocious in his attack. Then, Di Jiaying's face suddenly changed as a figure dressed in black suddenly appeared from her shadow, stabbing her back.

The entire process was so fast that she could not even react. For a moment, she felt the shadow of death looming over her head.

Clink!

A hooded figure appeared and blocked the attack for Di Jiaying. Unfortunately, the latter was also slightly too late. The assassin's dagger spewed a black light that grazed Di Jiaying's sides.

"Wang Ju," said Di Tian's Shadow–also called the Silent Sleeper–in a hoarse voice. However, Wang Ju did not answer him as she sensed a terrifying gaze. She did not waste time as she dispersed; it was like she was never here in the first place.

"Damn it," suddenly said Di Jiaying, catching the attention of the others. They saw a mysterious shadow-esque power emanating from her injuries.

"Shadow-based Poison?" asked Gao Buqin.

"It should be."

"Can you remove it?"

"Does it look like I can remove it?" she snarled, and Gao Buqin decided to keep his mouth shut. Gluttony remained quiet–as always. Meanwhile, Silent Sleeper did not immediately aid her but looked at his master.

Di Tian frowned as he knew he had already lost the initiative. Wang Wei's move made him display one of his general's trump cards. Subsequently, whether he or Silent Sleeper takes action to remove this poison, they will further reveal information about them.

And in this battle, information is power.

After pondering for a moment, he motioned for his shadow to take action. The best option is for the latter to take action and reveal his information instead of him.

Furthermore, he can also gather information from his opponent from this opportunity. Silent Sleeper moved next to Di Jiaying and used his power to remove the Shadow Poison. The process was not smooth, and he had to use quite an effort before succeeding.

"You guys have disappointed me," said Di Tian, his voice colder than usual. "Don't let it happen again."

The group's body involuntarily trembled. They knew Wang Wei's group was their greatest obstacle, but after the first confrontation, they lost the initiative, which could lead to their defeat later in the battle.

"We won't," replied Di Jiaying with gritted teeth. Di Tian didn't say anything else and returned to his closed-eyes state. He did not wholly blame them as he realized his strategy for this battle was too passive.

Eastern Continent:

Wang Ju appeared next to Wang Wei and handed him the information gathered in this strategy. Although she also revealed her strength, the knowledge she acquired was worth the price paid.

"Modify our plans accordingly," said Wang Wei before taking one last look at Yin Gen. He spared the latter because of his talent. So, he plans to traffic him into the upper dimension to fight for the resistance against the Seven Moons. 

And, of course, Yin Gen also owes him karma.

Central Quadrant, Planet AF568979:

Tong Ruobing was talking to someone through a Communication Array.

"I've done what I promise," she said.

"Yes, but you fail."

"So? I told you it would not work."

"Did you try your best?"

"I wasted two Immortal Tier Talismans. What else do you want me to do? Personally take action?" she retorted. The other person did not answer, so she sneered.

"Even you don't dare directly attack him, but you want me to be your pawn? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Alright, alright. I know you did your best."

"I don't want to waste time with you," said Tong Ruobing. "I only agree with your alliance because you said you had a way to deal with the two of them. I believe you because of your identity, but so far, you have shown me no proof."

Parasyte frowned; he could tell she was becoming impatient.

'She is still useful, so it is not time to become enemies,' he calculated. Then, he waved his hand to send something to her across billions of light years in an instant.

Tong Ruobing opened her formation and received the package–it was a binding contract backed by True Heavenly Dao.

"Sign it, and I can tell you some of our plans."

Tong Ruobing only glanced at the contract before saying, "I won't sign anything I don't know much about."

She could tell the contract was of high level, most likely something from the upper dimension.

"I have shown you our sincerity," said Parasyte.

"I'm willing to swear a Grand Dao Oath not to reveal a word. Take this deal, or we can part ways."

"Are you threatening me?" asked Parasyte with red eyes.

"I'm simply telling you my terms," she replied calmly, gazing directly into his eyes. After more than a minute of constant staring and no communication, someone relented.

"Fine, but I don't want any loopholes. Be straightforward in your wording."

Tong Ruobing no longer hesitated and made the oath. Then, Parasyte told them of their trump card.

"An artifact that can strike with the power of a Third Class Emperor."

Her eyes lit up as she knew this weapon was enough to deal with Wang Wei and Di Tian's Nine Extremity Foundation. Now, her only concern is how many times they can use this weapon.

If it's more than two times, she has to find ways to deal with them afterward.

'It's a shame I cannot secretly reveal the news to Wang Wei and Di Tian.'

"Now, you should have more confidence in our alliance."

"Indeed," replied Tong Ruobing. "I did not expect Designer to be so capable."

Yan Liling and her achievement of creating Immortal Tier Pills and Talismans are enough for them to be forever entrenched in the annals of history. However, Designer can even make such a weapon.

Of course, she also understood it's primarily because he has access to a much higher civilization.

"Well, be prepared," continued Parasyte. "When the time is right, I will contact you."

Tong Ruobing ended the communication, deep in thought.

'When I talked to Designer, he seemed to have some desire for me. Maybe, I can use that to my advantage.'

She was not entirely sure as their conversation was brief. However, Tong Ruobing noticed the glint in the latter's eyes when they talked. Furthermore, he attempted to communicate with her twice again, but Parasyte seemed to have intervened.

"Huh?"

Tong Ruobing noticed someone approaching her location.

"It's her," she muttered, looking at Jingwu Hua.
