Chapter 147: Strategizing, the Great Talent of Wave Surge Realm

Chapter 147: Strategizing, the Great Talent of Wave Surge Realm

"There's something on the Spirit Vessel that I need to attend to, Origin Heavenly Venerable. Let's discuss it when we meet up," Rogue Immortal Venerable said before hastily signing off.

The group chat immediately quieted down, except for the ever-present Rogue Immortal Venerable, Great Sun Flame Emperor, and Ice Mountain Tyrantess, who were online depending on the situation.

He opened the forum and saw the post made by his persona, Blood Robe Sword God.

Below it, numerous comments had appeared.

"Senior, you're really coming!"

"Bright Palace deserves to be punished for its evil deeds!"

"It's best to minimize direct confrontations. If you're surrounded by Bright Palace's Purple Mansion cultivators, it won't bode well."

"Bright Palace has many followers, and Green Cloud Continent is their stronghold. Blood Robe Sword God, it's best to be cautious."

"I also have a grudge with Bright Palace. Blood Robe Sword God, would you like to meet up with us and jointly deal with Bright Palace?"

The comments varied greatly.

Some cheered with "666," while others advised Blood Robe Sword God to be cautious.

"It's a pity that Blood Robe Sword God is my alternate account. Otherwise, I could boldly declare that I, with my Heavenly Foundation Establishment and Stellar Golden Core, have nothing to fear from Bright Palace."

Qi Yuan thought for a moment and then used his main account to reply to the post.

"I, Origin Heavenly Venerable, with my Heavenly Foundation Establishment and Stellar Golden Core, openly support Blood Robe Sword God. If needed, I can lend my Golden Core to Blood Robe Sword God."

After replying, Qi Yuan felt proud, "The Bright Palace members must be trembling in fear after seeing my comment!"

After all, even the Stellar Golden Core cultivators were supporting Blood Robe Sword God; how could Bright Palace resist?

However, after a while, Qi Yuan was taken aback.

More comments had appeared below the post.

"I, with my Golden Core, openly support Blood Robe Sword God!"

"I have nine Golden Cores, and I openly support Blood Robe Sword God!"

Qi Yuan was stunned as he read these comments, "Can someone cultivate a Golden Core with their intestines?"

Then, his eyes narrowed, "Those who gain the Dao have many helpers, while those who lose the Dao have few. Blood Robe Sword God will surely succeed!"

With so many formidable Golden Cores, there might even be Stone Core and Quantum Core cultivators supporting Blood Robe Sword God. Blood Robe Sword God was bound to win!

Qi Yuan switched to his alternate account, Blood Robe Sword God.

"With such support, I, Blood Robe Sword God, will go and kill some more Bright Palace's Purple Mansion cultivators to celebrate."

He specifically replied to the Nine Turns Golden Core cultivator.

At that moment, inside a cave abode...

A female cultivator widened her eyes and spoke with a tearful tone, "Senior, please don't reply to me!"

She had merely imitated the previous comments, but she received a response.

Now it seemed as if Blood Robe Sword God was encouraged by her to kill Bright Palace's Purple Mansion cultivators.

Bright Palace was one of the top powers in the Eastern Land.

The female cultivator naturally dared not offend them.

"Will Bright Palace come after me?"

"I'm not in the Eastern Land right now, so it should be fine."

With that thought, the female cultivator breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Three days passed.

Qi Yuan donned a blood-red robe.

Xu Yeli followed behind him, his expression numb.

Just before, he had accompanied Blood Robe Sword God to another Bright Palace stronghold.

The sound of a suona horn echoed, and the Purple Mansion cultivators were effortlessly slaughtered.

This stronghold had a significant number of Purple Mansion cultivators, making it one of Bright Palace's larger outposts.

Yet, Blood Robe Sword God effortlessly massacred them.

Even the most challenging Purple Mansion cultivators to kill were easier for Blood Robe Sword God than Divine Infant cultivators.

Xu Yeli's body trembled.

Now, he had gone too far to turn back, and there was no way to disassociate himself from Blood Robe Sword God.

"Senior... Do you have a plan to deal with Bright Palace?" Xu Yeli had no choice but to consider his future.

Even if Blood Robe Sword God offended Bright Palace to the core, the worst that could happen was for him to leave with a pat on his behind.

Xu Yeli understood that even if all three Palace Lords of Bright Palace appeared, they couldn't stop Blood Robe Sword God.

Meanwhile, Blood Robe Sword God continued slaughtering Bright Palace's Purple Mansion cultivators outside.

Bright Palace's Purple Mansion cultivators would retreat and return to their headquarters.

Dozens of Purple Mansion cultivators, along with the three Palace Lords, would defend Bright Palace.

If Blood Robe Sword God dared to go there, he would surely perish.

Therefore, Xu Yeli realized that the feud between Blood Robe Sword God and Bright Palace was coming to an end.

However, he didn't possess Blood Robe Sword God's strength.

"A plan to deal with Bright Palace?" Qi Yuan casually replied, "I've formulated a hundred-day plan to annihilate Bright Palace, and success is imminent."

Currently, he was continuously eliminating Bright Palace's Purple Mansion cultivators outside.

The remaining Purple Mansion cultivators of Bright Palace would retreat to their headquarters.

This was Qi Yuan's opportunity.

If they weren't gathered together, it would be challenging to kill them.

After all, it wouldn't be easy for Qi Yuan to find a single Purple Mansion cultivator if they wanted to hide.

Xu Yeli listened to Qi Yuan's words and coughed, "I'll await your good news, Senior."

A plan to annihilate Bright Palace? Xu Yeli didn't believe it.

Without manifesting his Dark Deity, who could annihilate Bright Palace? He felt anxious and uncertain about the future.

Qi Yuan was unaware of Xu Yeli's thoughts, and even if he did, it didn't matter to him.

After killing five alluring white moonlights, Qi Yuan felt satisfied with his harvest.

He quickly logged into his alternate account and entered the Divine Flower Society's forum, posting again.

"Killing Five Purple Mansion Cultivators, a Celebration for Fellow Cultivators!"

"I, Blood Robe Sword God, view evil as my enemy and slaughter Bright Palace's Purple Mansion cultivators.

I never imagined that my previous post would receive so much support from fellow cultivators.

Thank you, 'Ling Mountain Wen Feng,' 'Fox Cave Xiao Li,' 'Dragon Tiger Daoist,' 'Origin Heavenly Venerable,' and others for your support."

Qi Yuan listed all the forum usernames that had spoken in his favor.

The only regret was that he couldn't tag them.

"It's because of the support from these fellow cultivators that I believe justice will prevail over darkness.

I can't sleep at night, constantly remembering the encouragement of these fellow cultivators. Last night, I went and slew five more Bright Palace's Purple Mansion cultivators.

These five Purple Mansion cultivators didn't die by my hands; they perished at the hands of my fellow cultivators who supported me. They died at the hands of the righteous cultivators of the world!"

After posting, Qi Yuan felt that his last sentence was particularly well-written.

Without seeking praise, Qi Yuan further deepened the theme, starting small and expanding, concluding his essay with a perfect score on the college entrance exam.

After posting, Qi Yuan felt quite proud.

Soon enough, a comment appeared.

Huo Li Xiao Li: "Senior, I didn't do it, it wasn't me!"

The female cultivator in the cave abode, Zhang Wei, was shocked and anxious as she read the post's content.

The big shot killed five more Purple Mansion cultivators?

Why did he tag my name?

Waaah... I hope the Bright King Mansion won't come after me!

"I remember your Nine-Turn Golden Core vividly, I won't mistake you for someone else.

Destroying the Bright King Mansion, you have a part in it!"

Qi Yuan quickly replied.

He had to maintain a good relationship with his die-hard fan.

Huo Li Xiao Li was completely lost, and she really wanted to pretend to be dead.

Time flew by, and more and more people replied to the post.

"Senior... truly powerful, with such strength, you're probably within the top 20 in the Eastern Land."

"No wonder Senior is so carefree, you never took the Bright King Mansion seriously."

"Senior's attention, as long as you don't confront the Bright King Mansion head-on, they can't do anything to you!"

Now, Qi Yuan's post received even more cheerful replies.

Some even offered strategies to destroy the Bright King Mansion.

"Senior, I have a plan to help you destroy the Bright King Mansion.

You just need to travel to the Eastern Land, find a place to seclude yourself for ten thousand years, and when you re-emerge, you'll surely be able to destroy the Bright King Mansion!"

"The Third Palace Lord of the Bright King Mansion is an unparalleled beauty.

If I were Senior, I'd definitely make peace with the Bright King Mansion, then convince the Third Palace Lord to become your Dao companion.

Treat the Bright King Mansion as your harem, and naturally, they'll offer more Dao companions to win you over.

You just need to procreate, and with many children, after a few thousand years, won't the Bright King Mansion become your backyard garden?"

Qi Yuan read these comments with a sense of enlightenment, sometimes feeling inspired, as if gaining profound insights.

"Who says there are no hidden talents in other realms? These people... are all geniuses!"

Especially the one about having children, a brilliant plan of nesting inopportune nesting.

Qi Yuan felt it was highly feasible.

Moreover, it sounded thrilling.

But then he thought of the Ice Mountain Tyrantess and his junior sister still borrowing high-interest loans from the Bright King Mansion.

He had no choice but to ignore these brilliant strategies.

Within a hundred days, the Bright King Mansion must be destroyed!

How could he change a well-thought-out plan?

He wasn't their boss, nor the client.

Qi Yuan thought, switching to his main account to reply.

"Blood Robe Sword God, if you encounter any issues in destroying the Bright King Mansion, come find me, the Four Emperors of the Divine Flower Society. I'll lend you my Stellar Core!"

He was showing off his Golden Core again.

At that moment, Qi Yuan noticed a flashing notification from Ling Shan Wen Feng.

He was surprised: "Could it be that my junior sister wants to show me the real thing?"

Excited, he clicked on the message she sent.

"Senior Brother, I heard that every day, you spend half an hour in dual cultivation with a man?"

"Senior Brother... obsessed with one path, obsessed with cultivation, it's no big deal, just don't get obsessed with the wrong things."

"Sigh, Senior Brother, what's so good about men?"

Qi Yuan read these messages.

He was speechless.

...

After leaving the main hall, Xu Tongchen's expression was sorrowful, as if mourning the death of a parent.

In truth, he felt delighted.

In recent days, major events had unfolded in the Bright King Mansion, with Purple Mansion cultivators falling one after another.

Now, nearly ten had died.

In just a few days, ten Purple Mansion cultivators dead?

This was more than the number of deaths in the past hundred years.

And they were all from the Bright King Mansion.

Huang Tu's expression could only be imagined as grim.

Originally, the Blood Robe Sword God, whom they had easily laughed about, had suddenly become a formidable force.

Even the Purple Mansion master of Zheng Fangxing had fallen, and Xu Tongchen felt triumphant.

Of course, he had to pretend to be sad.

"In just a few days, my Solar Flame has strengthened by tenfold.

Qi Yuan is truly my lucky star!" Xu Tongchen's joy intensified as he thought of Qi Yuan.

This was indeed a double joy.

Suddenly, a voice transmission entered Xu Tongchen's ear.

Xu Tongchen's eyes narrowed as he glanced at a few people behind him with seemingly lost expressions. He entered a small alley.

"Master, what brings you here?" Xu Tongchen's eyes shone with surprise.

He hadn't expected to see his master here.

Master Xu Yeliji looked at his disciple and said slowly, "During this time, why have you been running around so often?"

"Disciple met a Celestial Prodigy... he's extraordinary." Xu Tongchen told Master Xu Yeliji about what had happened between him and Qi Yuan.

Master Xu Yeliji furrowed his brows, "There's actually such a person in the world? He must have had some extraordinary encounters."

Master Xu Yeliji naturally wouldn't pay too much attention to a young man participating in the Eastern Land Heaven's Pride Tournament.

Especially since his situation was critical.

"Tongchen, during this time, always be prepared to run with me at any moment." Master Xu Yeliji said solemnly.

Xu Tongchen's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, "Master, what happened? Could it be... the Bright King Mansion is planning to take action against us?"

"The Solar Flame is too eye-catching, the Bright King Mansion won't let you keep it for long." Master Xu Yeliji's expression turned grim.

In the past, the Bright Palace was domineering, but they at least maintained some decorum and basic etiquette. However, recently, whether it's the Hundred Nations War or other matters, they've been quite direct.

Xu Yeli vaguely felt that something significant might be happening.

Unfortunately, his level was too low, and he had no idea what that significant event could be.

"Master, the Bright Palace is currently facing a formidable enemy, the Blood Saber Sword God. Do they still have the leisure to come after my Solar Flame?" Xu Tongchen said, first with resentment and then with excitement.

Master Xu Yeliji remained silent.

Xu Tongchen continued, "The Blood Saber Sword God is an unparalleled mighty figure. With just one sword, he has slain nine Purple Mansion cultivators from the Bright Palace.

Including the Bright Palace's lackeys, he has killed more than ten in total.

Such an extraordinary being is truly worthy of being the leader of the righteous path in our Green Cloud Continent."

"However, I'm puzzled. Why is there always a black-robed Purple Mansion cultivator behind the Blood Saber Sword God, acting like a useless servant? Is it because he's not strong enough to help the Blood Saber Sword God?" At this point, Xu Tongchen also voiced his own confusion.

That black-robed servant seemed like a bystander, completely useless.

"Hmm, why would the Blood Saber Sword God have such a useless old servant?"

Master Xu Yeliji's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

Xu Tongchen noticed this and asked, "Master, did the Bright Palace offend you again?"

Master Xu Yeliji glared at Xu Tongchen, "Your master is that useless old servant!"

"..." Xu Tongchen was stunned. He felt a momentary sense of guilt, but soon became excited again. "Master, have you met the Blood Saber Sword God? Is he as handsome as the legends say... like a saint?"

"Saint?" Master Xu Yeliji coldly snorted, "He's a killing god!"

Where are there saints like that?

...

As Xu Tongchen entered Qi Yuan's cave abode once again, his mind was still in a daze.

His master was actually the servant of the Blood Saber Sword God.

The Blood Saber Sword God could offend the Bright Palace and then leave without consequences.

But his master couldn't.

If discovered, the Seven Elements Sect would face a dire end.

Xu Tongchen's mind was still in a daze as he entered Qi Yuan's cave abode.

"You're here. Quickly bring out the Solar Flame for me to observe." Qi Yuan urged.

"Alright." Xu Tongchen summoned the Solar Flame.

At this moment, he felt that thinking about other matters was pointless, and it was best to focus on improving his own strength.

Qi Yuan's gaze once again fell upon the Solar Flame.

He narrowed his eyes, examining it closely.

At the same time, on the small sun in the sky, a strand of flame seemed to flicker.

Half an hour passed, and Qi Yuan revealed a pleased expression, "Not bad, not bad. There's some progress."

Xu Tongchen felt the robust Solar Flame and asked, "Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan, have you gained some insight?"

"A little bit." Qi Yuan replied earnestly.

Indeed, it was just a little bit, like a tricycle that could only carry a small load.

Xu Tongchen was perplexed.

It had taken him several decades to gain this insight, but Qi Yuan had done it in just a few days?

Was he lying?

"In another ten days or half a month, I should be able to fully comprehend it."

"Good..." Xu Tongchen was a bit hesitant, unsure if Qi Yuan was telling the truth, but he still said, "If you can comprehend the Solar Flame before the Celestial Prodigy Tournament begins, you will undoubtedly sweep through the competition and rank among the top twenty."

"Sigh, to be honest, ranking in the top twenty will be quite challenging for me." Qi Yuan said.

"After all, these prodigies all come from noble backgrounds. Unlike me, who comes from a humble origin, and I feel inferior whenever I see them."

Xu Tongchen was speechless.

A while ago, Qi Yuan was criticizing him for having a small Golden Core, but now he felt inferior?

"Fortunately, the heavens reward diligence. Through my hard work and perseverance, I finally broke free from my humble beginnings and achieved the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, creating a gap between me and these prodigies."

As expected, everything before was just empty talk.

Now he was feeling inferior even after achieving the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?

Xu Tongchen was now certain that Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan had a screw loose, speaking incoherently at times.

He, a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator, could only kill Divine Infant cultivators like a dog.

So, whenever he encountered those Divine Infant little brats, he would roar.

What's wrong with a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator killing Divine Infant cultivators?

He wasn't showing off; he was venting his inner bitterness.

He, a dignified Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator, could only kill Divine Infant cultivators like a dog.

Xu Tongchen was stunned when he heard Qi Yuan's words.

How could the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment be divided into perfect and imperfect?

"Of course, it's a perfect Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment." Xu Tongchen replied.

Qi Yuan's expression became more solemn upon hearing this.

This time, he had finally encountered a formidable opponent in the Celestial Prodigy Tournament.

According to legends, the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was an unparalleled existence.

"Do you think that with my Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment and Stellar Core, I can compete with that Gu Xiao Yao?" Qi Yuan secretly asked.

Xu Tongchen shook his head, "Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan, even if you comprehend the Solar Flame, you won't be a match for that Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan fell silent.

He was still too weak.

This Celestial Prodigy Tournament... should he not participate?

Otherwise, if he encountered that Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator and couldn't defeat him, it would be quite embarrassing.

But when he thought about his promise to the sect leader, he became conflicted.

He needed to think of a way to avoid encountering that Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist, in two days, Huang Tu will be hosting the Dragon Phoenix Banquet, and I need to accompany him. I won't be able to come and cultivate with you, so please forgive me." Before leaving, Xu Tongchen spoke softly.

Qi Yuan was startled for a moment, then said, "Alright."

The Dragon Phoenix Banquet had begun?

Was the Rogue Immortal Venerable also about to arrive?
