Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone

Chapter 996 - 453: Puzzling

However, after Zheng Shiduo spoke until his mouth was dry, Wang Jixuan directly pulled the conversation back to the starting point."Who is the enemy?"

Zheng Shiduo almost spat blood: "Wang! I’ve said so much, and you haven’t taken any of it to heart!"

"Thanks for the comfort," Wang Jixuan gave a thumbs up, "I feel much better now, I feel hopeful again... But you’re right, we must first identify who the enemy is."

"Uh, who else could the enemy be?"

"I don’t know, but I always feel like Tianluo and the Dark Sect, each with a Heavenly Dao, something’s fishy."

Master Wang folded his arms, leaned back on the molten pillar, and spoke quickly:

"The Immortal Realm keeps talking about some Infinite Tribulation, and recently, strange phenomena have been frequently occurring.

"Tianluo and the Dark Sect are constantly fighting, each side has a Heavenly Dao Stele.

"Now, both sides are fighting over my issue, one side issues a Death Order, the other a Protection Order... Why do I feel like the Heavenly Dao wants to create some conflict, having Tianluo and the Dark Sect consume each other’s strength?"

Zheng Shiduo asked: "Does it mean the Heavenly Dao is actually the big villain?"

"That feeling is unlike that," Wang Jixuan sighed, "We’re just too passive now, we must find a way to gain some control."

Zheng Shiduo reminded: "Not to sound unpleasant, Wang, right now our lives are in Tianluo’s hands, what control can we have? Not to mention true Immortals, even a Red Dust Wanderer Immortal like Master Yin, we’re far from being their match."

"Let me think."

Wang Jixuan stood up, hands behind his back, pacing inside the cave.

Zheng Shiduo’s eyes looked a bit hollow, just feeling like his mind was really not quite up to it.

...

Mu Dan hid in the personal subspace, Amina hid in Tianluo’s station within the You Bao Realm, both temporarily safe.

Yin Lin had already planned their next routes for relocation.

Previously sent out on a mission, Xiao Huating and Red Snake successfully returned, reunited with Mu Dan in the personal subspace.

Amina awakened her group of high-level Spirit Slaves;

Mu Dan activated the Mechanical Army she brought out;

Unfortunately, in a place like the You Bao Realm, these forces were indeed ’insignificant,’ unable to exert any decisive effects.

Through Wang Jixuan’s Communicator, Mu Dan was able to assess Wang Jixuan’s condition.

Temporarily safe.

Now, whether Tianluo or the Dark Sect, they both focused their attention on Wang Zheng, now being led astray by one of Elder Shao’s avatars, wandering aimlessly across the world.

The Immortal Spirit Road is already very bustling.

Even the starry sky containing the Immortal Spirit Road began to constantly appear silhouettes of cultivators fighting.

In just three days, the Dark Sect and Tianluo fully engaged in war in the Lower Realm, fighting fiercely everywhere.

The name ’Wang Zheng’ became known to more and more cultivators through this method.

Though not yet an Immortal, he has gained fame.

In the far distant True Realm division hall from the You Bao Realm, a special situation occurred where everyone received the same task.

’Protect Wang Zheng’ or ’Kill Wang Zheng.’

To some extent, Tianluo and the Dark Sect’s mortal world institutions were already paralyzed.

The fifth day of conflict.

Elder Shao’s avatar reappeared before Wang Jixuan and Zheng Shiduo.

This old man’s expression was hurried, even with the profound cultivation of an Old Immortal, this avatar’s brows were filled with fatigue.

"Damn it! Crazy! They’re all crazy!"

Elder Shao started with a curse.

Wang Jixuan hurriedly stood up to inquire: "Teacher, what’s happening?"

"The mortal world is about to fully engage in war."

Elder Shao plopped down on Wang Jixuan’s cushion:

"Your matter became the trigger, the headquarters of both sides in the Immortal Realm issued orders to wipe out the other one across the mortal world’s various realms.

"Experts from the Immortal Realm are already moving, disregarding the rules set by the Heavenly Dao, descending into the mortal world to participate in the slaughter... Our Tianluo suffers losses, already being suppressed by the Dark Sect in various realms, how can we win this fight?

"I even took some time to go back and argue with them.

"Tianluo Headquarters is also helpless, the orders were actually issued by the Heavenly Dao Stele."

Hmm?

Wang Jixuan keenly caught a point of anomaly.

"Both sides’ Heavenly Dao steles simultaneously issued the task to annihilate the opponent?"

"Correct," Elder Shao looked up at Wang Jixuan, with a bleak smile, "I know what you’re thinking, but currently, none of us have evidence, and we also don’t dare to speculate."

Zheng Shiduo said beside him: "Doesn’t this make sense? The Heavenly Dao Stele incites Tianluo and the Dark Cult to full-scale war just to hunt down my brother Wang?"

"No one can make sense of the matters here."

Elder Shao shook his head and said seriously:

"We should stay hidden here for a while before leaving. For now, I’ve thrown them off, and they can’t find this place temporarily."

Wang Jixuan asked, "Is there an issue with Earth?"

"For now, no one is looking to cause trouble in the Forbidden Land. The Forbidden Land is too vast, and each branch of Tianluo and the Dark Cult manages a large area of the Star Domain. Yin Lin is engaged in a heated battle with Bao Yan, they can’t tend to that side."

Elder Shao raised an eyebrow at Wang Jixuan:

"Yin Lin also knows you care about that place, rest assured, the Youbao Realm is still in equilibrium right now. As long as it remains balanced, he can find a way to protect Earth."

Wang Jixuan said, "I want to go back once."

"Go back? For what?"

To find power not belonging to either side’s Heavenly Dao sequence.

This was naturally something that couldn’t be spoken of directly.

Wang Jixuan saluted Elder Shao with cupped hands: "Disciple has a treasure stored there, and now wishes to retrieve it, it might come in use later."

Elder Shao nodded: "Since that’s the case, I’ll escort you there."

"Disciple wishes to go alone."

"Why? Afraid that I, this old man, will betray you?"

"If not for you leading me out, I would’ve long been a skeleton in the Youbao Realm now."

Wang Jixuan didn’t hide it:

"The thing disciple is looking for might be somewhat taboo in the Immortal Realm..."

"Alright, that’s enough said."

Elder Shao waved his hand:

"Your life is your own, the path you walk can be your own choice. I’ll teach you how to use the Treasure Bead to traverse the Immortal Spirit Road."

Wang Jixuan bowed profoundly in gratitude: "Thank you, Master."

"It’s nothing."

Zheng Shiduo said: "Brother Wang, I’ll act with Elder Shao then, I won’t tag along and be a burden."

The implication of Lao Zheng’s words was that he would stay with Elder Shao here, and if Wang Jixuan encountered trouble, he could use a special communication device for simple contact, then request Elder Shao’s avatar to head over for support immediately.

Wang Jixuan looked at Elder Shao, who slightly nodded, signaling Wang Jixuan to listen closely.

Half a day later.

Wang Jixuan hurriedly embarked on his return journey, rushing towards Earth along the Immortal Spirit Road.

To conceal his whereabouts, he even had to detour, pretending to pass by Earth in the space-time continuum by coincidence.

This back and forth would take about half a month.

What was Wang Jixuan returning for?

Two things.

The first is to find the Stone of the Past, and the Moon God Palace’s forces hidden within.

To him, the Moon God Palace was currently the only ’former’ Immortal Realm force he could contact without being influenced by the Heavenly Dao, which might provide some inspiration and guidance.

The second is to go to Cloud Capital, move a Core Circuit Production Line, and bring out two high-level Spirit Servants.

If things couldn’t be done later, and Tianluo was eliminated by the Dark Cult, he would most likely wander the interstellar domain, gathering strength while striving to cultivate. Returning to Earth to retrieve these would become extremely difficult.

On the way back, the more Wang Jixuan pondered, the more he felt something was amiss within these matters.

The timing was too coincidental;

Both sides of the Heavenly Dao simultaneously chose to escalate the conflict, and the method of escalation was too simple;

That because of him, a mere practitioner in the Tribulation Crossing Realm, the Dark Sect and Tianluo launched a full-scale war in the Mortal World, seemed too outrageous.

Wang Jixuan couldn’t comprehend it, and it was also hard to accept.

Hence, he now urgently needed a third-party expert that had nothing to do with Tianluo or the Dark Sect to provide answers to these questions.

As for what comes afterward...

Prepare for the worst but try your utmost.

"What a situation this is!"

Wang Jixuan couldn’t help but mutter, subconsciously touching his cheek, feeling secured as the ’face mask’ was still intact.

Perhaps the Heavenly Dao was still watching over him, for the journey has been smooth.

When Wang Jixuan saw that blue planet again, it was already eleven Earth days later.

And just as he arrived, his Spiritual Sense suddenly jolted.
