Chapter 473: Qi Yuan's Urgent Situation, The Super Grand Plan Takes Shape!
Chapter 473: Qi Yuan's Urgent Situation, The Super Grand Plan Takes Shape!
The shadow of the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner was personally arranged by the Banner Master himself.
The Emperor Palace Envoy was faced with a formidable barrier, making it difficult to enter.
Even if he forced his way in, an alarm would be triggered immediately, followed by swift suppression.
In such a scenario, the Yang Deity Venerable of the Ghost Gate would have been prepared in advance and wouldn't have been caught off guard by the Emperor Palace Envoy.
However, to everyone's surprise, the barriers and alarms were useless. After the Emperor Palace Envoy killed a Supreme Reason Realm Yang Deity Venerable, the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner belatedly sounded the alarm. They then realized that the Emperor Palace Envoy had secretly infiltrated.
Finally, after slaying another unlucky Yang Deity, the Emperor Palace Envoy left with ease. One could say... Guiyuetian was seething with frustration.
How could they deal with such a slippery Emperor Palace Envoy?
The Taihuang Palace messenger was deeply worried: "This Ghost Gate is no longer safe."
He scanned the surroundings, feeling as if every inch of empty space was filled with danger, and the Emperor Palace Envoy could appear at any moment.
To be honest, he wanted to return to the Taihuang Palace right now.
The other Yang Deity Venerables hid nearby, not daring to reveal themselves. Only their ethereal voices could be heard.
"Since even the shadow of the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner is useless!"
"By staying here, we're like lambs waiting to be slaughtered!"
These Yang Deity Venerables, who had lived in glory and splendor their entire lives, had never experienced such fear and trembling as they did today.
The Emperor Palace Envoy was simply inhuman.
Even an ordinary Supreme Enlightenment Yang Deity, with the same level of strength, wouldn't dare to infiltrate the core area of a sacred land in the Sixth Heaven. Doing so might result in being captured and sealed.
At this moment, the Emperor Palace Envoy's killing intent made the Yang Deity Venerables of Guiyuetian tremble with fear.
In such a short time, the Emperor Palace Envoy had already killed nine Yang Deity Venerables, including Feng Shuai from the Black Demon Abyss and a Supreme Reason Realm Yang Deity.
A Supreme Reason Realm Yang Deity had been easily slain!
This implied that, aside from the Supreme Enlightenment Yang Deity, all other Yang Deities of Guiyuetian couldn't even protect themselves.
Qi Yuan alone had made Guiyuetian tremble with fear.
Just then, a cold and vast voice echoed.
"I am aware of the loophole in the shadow of the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner.
This time, it was my oversight!"
As the Banner Master's voice fell, his figure remained seated within Guiyuetian.
For cultivators of their level, the true body would never casually leave the sacred land.
For example, the White Dragon Abyss Lord that Qi Yuan had seen earlier was not the true body of the White Dragon Abyss Lord.
Upon hearing the Banner Master's words, the other Yang Deity Venerables didn't trust him as much as they did the first time.
To be honest, they all had their doubts.
Of course, their emotional intelligence was no less than Qi Yuan's. Even with their doubts, they wouldn't directly voice them, as it would be disrespectful to the Banner Master.
What else could they do now that the Banner Master had admitted his mistake? Could the deceased Yang Deity Venerables do anything but be unlucky? "The Yang Deity Venerables who died recently will have their clans behind them enjoy the first-class treatment of Guiyuetian.
I will bestow a portion of Yang Deity gifts upon these clans."
This time, the Banner Master had truly gone all out.
If he didn't offer consolation, the resentment within Guiyuetian would reach a boiling point, and even he would struggle to suppress it.
"The Banner Master is so kind!" The Yang Deity Venerables of Guiyuetian were slightly surprised.
Consolation was something that had never happened in Guiyuetian before.
Guiyuetian was a proper evil sect, and when a Yang Deity Venerable perished, their accumulated resources would be swiftly consumed.
"I am aware of the loophole in the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner, and I have personally taken action to repair it." The Banner Master spoke calmly.
The faces of the Yang Deity Venerables in the hall managed a smile: "Thank you, Banner Master."
Of course, they dared not say more.
Many of the Yang Deity Venerables' gazes fell upon the Taihuang Palace messenger.
Seeing this, the Taihuang Palace messenger shuddered and quickly spoke: "Banner Master, should you not conduct another inspection? Are there any other loopholes? What if there are still mistakes, and the Emperor Palace Envoy invades again..."
The other Yang Deity Venerables didn't dare speak, but the Taihuang Palace messenger did.
In the empty space, a moment of silence ensued. After a while, amidst everyone's anticipation, the vast voice spoke again.
"This time, I will have one-third of the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner's true body descend to protect you all!"
This time, he truly went all out.
Previously, the shadows and clones he had released, although powerful, wouldn't cause significant damage to the true body of the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner even if they were lost.
This time, he had descended the true body of the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner.
Upon hearing this, the other Yang Deity Venerables' hearts were at ease.
"Thank you, Banner Master!"
At this moment, their hearts were free from worry.
With one-third of the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner's true body descended, the security of the Ghost Gate was almost on par with Guiyuetian.
Of course, it was still far inferior to Guiyuetian.
After all, Guiyuetian was not only guarded by the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner but also had other Creation Artifacts, jointly forming a solid defense.
...
Within the Demon Gate, the clamor of voices was deafening.
The Ice Sword, Ziyuan Daxue, Zi Yuan Xiao Lu, and other Heavenly Talents wore worried expressions.
At this moment, they gathered together in silence.
They could only watch helplessly, unable to stop what was happening.
In the deep palace ahead, the voices of arguing Yang Deity Venerables could be heard.
Ziyuan Daxue spread his hands and sighed: "Forget it, we haven't even started the Lin Ya Transformation, and with this commotion, our Black Demon Abyss is about to split up!"
The news of the Abyss Lord's surrender and retreat to the Taihuang Palace had already spread.
This shocked many Yang Deity Venerables and caught these Heavenly Talents off guard.
"We haven't even fought yet, and now we've lost a big chunk of the Black Demon Abyss!" One of the proud geniuses couldn't help but speak up.
"Alas, let's not misinterpret the Abyss Lord's actions. He must have done this for the greater good."
"It's better to not fight recklessly! Otherwise, how many of us will perish in battle?" said one of the proud geniuses earnestly.
He had no objections to the Taihuang Palace's surrender.
"If we surrender, won't we become the dogs of the Taihuang Palace, biting whoever they tell us to bite?" An Xun Lu asked discontentedly.
"By siding with the Taihuang Palace, won't we become the winners of the Lin Ya Transformation? What will happen to us then?" The person questioned further.
At this moment, the Ice Sword suddenly spoke up, "Is it that simple for the Taihuang Palace to accept surrender just like that...?"
Upon hearing this, the proud geniuses' expressions changed, and they felt a sense of foreboding.
Given the Taihuang Palace's dominance, it was unlikely that they would easily accept the surrender of the Black Abyss.
"Let's not make malicious speculations about this unexpected event. I believe the Abyss Lord, with his wisdom, will not abandon any of us!" The young cultivator rebutted.
Just then, a languid voice echoed, and a handsome man in a blood-red cloak appeared, "Even if the Abyss Lord surrenders, the matter of the Taihuang Palace seizing my personal property is not over!"
The one who came was Qi Yuan.
"What did the Taihuang Palace take from you?" An Xun Lu asked without hesitation.
Qi Yuan didn't bother to respond, as An Xun Lu's chattiness was irritating.
At that moment, Ziyuan Daxue looked at Qi Yuan, "Where have you been, brother? I wanted to invite you to try the first batch of Ziyuan Heaven's delicious mushrooms, but I couldn't find you."
"It's a secret." Qi Yuan said, glancing at Ziyuan Xiaolu.
Ziyuan Xiaolu's face turned rosy, her heart racing, and she felt as if her heart was racing and she was as nervous as a fawn.
Only she knew where the Blood Cloak brother had gone, even Ziyuan Daxue was unaware.
She felt a sense of being favored and delighted.
"Alas, the Black Abyss has fallen, and yet it is no match for the Human Emperor's Palace Envoy. The vast Black Abyss is no better than a single person."
The Human Emperor's Palace Envoy faced Guiyuetian alone, daring to go and slaughter the Yangshen like a dog. The Black Abyss...
As Niu Jiao spoke, she suddenly looked at Qi Yuan, "I have to say, you and the Human Emperor's Palace Envoy are somewhat similar."
Qi Yuan's heart tightened, and he became cautious.
Could his disguise not even hide this from Niu Jiao?
"How are we similar?" Qi Yuan asked involuntarily.
"Similarly shameless." Ziyuan Daxue smiled.
Her meaning was clear, as the Blood Cloak brother had mentioned, the Taihuang Palace's grandmaster was his great enemy, and he needed to suppress him.
This kind of courage was no less than the Human Emperor's Palace Envoy.
"I'm waiting for your good news, and I'll be your little concubine." Ziyuan Daxue winked at Qi Yuan.
Ziyuan Xiaolu, hearing this, felt anxious.
How did Ziyuan Daxue become his little concubine?
Before she could think of a way to respond, An Xun Lu's chatty voice echoed, "You can't just slander someone, you haven't even kissed me, how do you know I'm chatty?" Qi Yuan asked discontentedly.
An Xun Lu was so angry that she was breathless, unable to speak.
At this moment, Qi Yuan thought of something and suddenly asked, "Is the Black Sword's mouth as chatty as yours?"
An Xun Lu's face turned red, and she felt a strange sense of satisfaction, "You...what are you talking about?"
Qi Yuan stretched lazily, glancing at the Ice Sword, who looked surprised, "Why are you hiding your strength?"
The usually calm and composed Ice Sword's expression changed slightly, "How did you find out?"
Immediately, he thought of something, as he had just entered the Yangshen Venerable realm, and his aura was still unstable, so it was normal for the Blood Cloak brother to notice.
The Ice Sword didn't hide anything and faintly transmitted, "Blood Cloak brother, this matter still needs you to keep it hidden. In doing so, I am also planning for a grand surprise."
Having entered the Yangshen Venerable realm, the Ice Sword had gotten what he wanted, and he called the Blood Cloak brother.
If he didn't call him now, it would be too late once the Blood Cloak entered the Yangshen Venerable realm.
"My lips are sealed, you can rest assured." Qi Yuan said.
The Ice Sword continued, and his eyes shone with pride, "With the start of the Lin Ya Transformation, the Taihuang Palace will begin to patrol the various heavens. Following the usual logic, any Yangshen, no matter how deeply they hide, will still absorb starlight into their bodies, and then..."
When the time comes, he would invite a few friends to gather.
Suddenly, his body was surrounded by starlight.
All his friends were stunned and shocked.
He casually brushed his sleeves and said indifferently, "Oh dear, I didn't expect to unintentionally break through to the Yangshen Venerable realm."
These scenes had played out in his mind countless times, and he was waiting to shock everyone.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan immediately felt a sense of crisis.
Recently, his right eyebrow would occasionally twitch, could it be...because of this?
"Any Yangshen will reveal their true form. The patrol of the heavens is controlled by the Immortal Path, and as long as this Yangshen has absorbed the air of the Sixth Heaven, it is impossible to hide.
"Qi Yuan, upon hearing this, felt a tinge of concern. "Now, if I were to expel all my breath... would it still be in time?"
Ice Sword glanced at Qi Yuan with a hint of surprise, "Could it be that you've stepped into the realm of the Yang Deity Heavenly Lord?"
"No, I haven't yet," Qi Yuan replied honestly.
Ice Sword, upon hearing this, heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, before the Lin Ya Transformation, he was the brightest among his offspring.
"If it's not a Yang Deity, it won't be able to survey you."
"But... if there's a Purple Mansion cultivator, and he has a stellar projection like a Yang Deity in the Starry Realm, would he be surveyed?" Qi Yuan continued his inquiry.
He was getting a bit anxious.
"This..." Ice Sword was a bit taken aback by the question.
He really wanted to pry open Blood Robe's head and say, "Blood Robe junior, you should think this through. What are you asking?"
What does it mean to have a Purple Mansion with the power of a Yang Deity?
"Cough, cough, perhaps this might be possible," Ice Sword contemplated for a moment before responding. "If the Purple Mansion possesses the combat strength of a Yang Deity, then it's impossible to escape the survey of the myriad heavens."
Within the Sixth Heaven, there were also some terrifying beings. Even without stellar projections, their power was comparable to that of the Yang Deity Heavenly Lord.
When surveying the myriad heavens, the starlight would also project onto these terrifying beings.
"Can I escape by hiding in a Mystic Land?" Qi Yuan asked.
"No."
"It's over," Qi Yuan suddenly felt an intense sense of crisis.
The sound transmission was cut off. He was in deep contemplation, his heart trembling.
After an unknown amount of time, Qi Yuan spoke with determination, "Taihuang Palace is going too far. Not only are they seizing my private possessions, but they are also invading my privacy. They truly do not regard me, a Purple Mansion cultivator!"
"If you were a Purple Mansion cultivator, they wouldn't regard you either." Ziyuan Daxue laughed heartily.
Qi Yuan paid no heed to her words. He had an idea, "No, it's about to rain. I need to go home and collect my clothes."
In the 1619 book bar, there is no mistake in this version!
After saying this, he hurried off.
He was about to engage his brilliant mind, contemplating how to deal with the survey of the myriad heavens.
At present, his strength was far inferior to that of Taihuang Palace.
This place was not conducive to the smooth operation of his brilliant mind.
Blood Robe came and left in a hurry, attracting the attention of the proud geniuses.
Ice Sword watched Blood Robe's departing figure, deep in thought. "My words... is there a problem? Or perhaps..."
Suddenly, a conjecture formed in his mind.
Could it be that a Yang Deity Heavenly Lord was hiding by Blood Robe's side?
...
Within the cave abode, Qi Yuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"I knew the hardships of the world at an early age!"
"I shouldn't have gone to sleep early. Otherwise, I wouldn't have heard such shocking news!"
"It's a pity that the game loading still needs some time. Otherwise, I could just dive into the game. Could it be that Taihuang Palace would still be able to enter the game and attack me?"
"It seems the Grand Plan is not yet complete. I must devise a Super Grand Plan!"
Qi Yuan contemplated, his brilliant mind spinning rapidly.
After about half an hour, Qi Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.
"The Super Grand Plan is complete. Indeed, once a person devises a Grand Plan, nothing is impossible!" Qi Yuan exclaimed.
And just at that moment, the surrounding space suddenly froze.
Qi Yuan knew that the Ziyuan Ancestor, who loved to play with the temporal freeze of small spaces, had arrived.
"Old man, you're here?" With the foundation of the Super Grand Plan, Qi Yuan regained his confidence.
The Ziyuan Ancestor's physique was not particularly tall or robust. In terms of height, he was even shorter than Qi Yuan.
He looked at Qi Yuan, his expression complex, "You should know about the Black Abyss Lord pledging allegiance to Taihuang Palace."
"Mhm," Qi Yuan nodded.
Previously, he had some concerns.
Now, with the Super Grand Plan in place, he was much calmer.
"Sigh, the waters here run deep. During this Lin Ya Transformation, it's estimated that the Black Abyss will have a Great Profound Virtue Venerable fall in battle." Ziyuan Ancestor sighed.
"Old man, you're such a good person. It won't be you who falls in battle."
Ziyuan Ancestor, upon hearing this, rarely showed a smile on his face.
But he still looked at Qi Yuan and said, "Old man, just a glance from the White Dragon Abyss Lord can make someone pregnant.
If I were to like someone and deeply gaze into their eyes, and if they were to get pregnant... how would I give birth? As for you, a junior, you're already meddling in the affairs of your senior. You're reversing the heavenly principles!" Qi Yuan exclaimed.
Ziyuan Ancestor didn't mind the content of Qi Yuan's words. He contemplated for a moment before speaking slowly, "After we retreat from the Ghost Pass, you just stay in Ziyuan Heaven. Don't go anywhere else."
Ziyuan Heaven was not only Ziyuan Ancestor's abode but also the place where his power was at its peak.
"Old man, you're too timid. During this Lin Ya Transformation, I'll protect you!" Qi Yuan patted his chest confidently.
"You little one..." Ziyuan Ancestor chuckled, "With your heart, you will succeed."
With a thought, he added, "During this time, try to avoid communicating with Black Sword. If the Abyss Lord summons you, don't go, and contact me if there's a problem!"
The previous conspiracy now seemed clear.
Black Sword and the Abyss Lord, one of them was the mastermind.
Or, both could be the masterminds.
"Alright."
Qiyuan spoke.
Ziyuan Ancestor left, and the Cavern was once again empty, with only Qiyuan remaining.
"Before executing the Super Grand Plan, I need to cultivate the Emperor Soul Banner."
Taohuang Palace is not just a place with one powerful cultivator; the Super Grand Plan is a one-time opportunity, and it's almost impossible to reuse it. I must enhance my strength."
Qiyuan looked outside, his gaze falling upon the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner, his eyes calm.
"It's a pity that I'm still too weak. If I were stronger, I could directly charge into the old lair of Guiyuetian, and that would be a huge profit!"
Qiyuan contemplated.
The Lin Ya Transformation was imminent, and the inspection of the various heavens was also approaching.
He couldn't afford to waste any more time.
"The Banner Master's clone has been hiding in the Ghost Gate, so this time, I can't go in and start killing. I can only grab the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner and run."
This disappointed Qiyuan.
If it were before, he would have had the patience to wait for the Banner Master to leave before entering.
But now, he needed to save time and quickly enhance his strength, creating offensive artifacts was the way to go.
He no longer hesitated, and his figure disappeared.
After about half a day,
In the Ghost Gate, dark clouds loomed.
Ghost Sovereign, Guiyuantian Zun, and other Great Supreme Principles hid in the void.
This time, the Banner Master not only brought out the original Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner but also devised a plan to severely injure the Emperor Palace Emissary.
This time, the Banner Master intentionally left a loophole in the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner, waiting for the Emperor Palace Emissary to infiltrate. These Great Supreme Principles would then strike with thunderous might!
Although they couldn't kill or seal the Emperor Palace Emissary, being able to severely injure them was still a profit.
Otherwise, where would Guiyuetian's face be? Wouldn't the other Holy Lands of the Six Heavens laugh at them?
"He's here!" Suddenly, one of the Great Supreme Principles detected a disturbance in their artifact.
This time, their focus and all their arrangements were centered on the loophole left by the Banner Master.
So when the Emperor Palace Emissary appeared, they immediately noticed.
Although they couldn't see the figure, they knew someone had arrived.
"This time, he will be severely injured before leaving!"
"We won't let ourselves be taken advantage of again!"
Ghost Sovereign and Guiyuantian Zun's auras were fierce, their minds filled with killing intent.
At that moment, one of the Great Supreme Principles spoke, "If our plan fails, what if he breaks into the Ghost Gate again?"
His face carried a hidden worry.
This Emperor Palace Emissary was too mysterious and unpredictable; anything could happen with him.
"With the Banner Master personally taking action, as soon as he enters, he will be struck by thunder!"
"The Yangshen Venerables of the Ghost Gate are gathered in one place. Even if he enters, it will be difficult to kill them. Don't be afraid!"
The three Great Supreme Principles communicated through sound transmission.
As for the Banner Master's clone, it remained hidden in the void, not a single breath escaping.
Suddenly, Ghost Sovereign narrowed his eyes, "He's reached the place of the loophole!"
Guiyuantian Zun's spirit tightened, "As soon as he enters, we will..."
They were a bit anxious.
But the Emperor Palace Emissary stood at the loophole, unmoving, and didn't enter.
This made Ghost Sovereign and Guiyuantian Zun hesitate.
"Could he have discovered our plan?" Ghost Sovereign wondered.
"No, he'll think he's the clever one!" Guiyuantian Zun said, his anxiety showing as he closely observed through his artifact.
"It seems he'll stay at the loophole for a while, confirming there's no danger before entering."
"Yes, this is a battle of patience!"
The three Great Supreme Principles remained silent, their eyes fixed on the artifact's movements.
In their eyes, the Emperor Palace Emissary would definitely spend a long time probing before entering.
However... less than a hundred breaths passed.
Suddenly, a voice filled with joy echoed through the Ghost Gate.
"Thank you, nature, for this grand gift! What a huge Emperor Soul Banner!"
As the voice fell, under the terrified gazes of the three Great Supreme Principles, the offensive artifact of Guiyuetian, the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner, suddenly shook violently.
The three Great Supreme Principles present were stunned, their faces revealing disbelief.
Perhaps, they had never even imagined the scene before them.
The Emperor Palace Emissary grabbed a third of the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner, and it disappeared.
The Ghost Gate trembled.
The three Great Supreme Principles were completely dumbfounded.
A terrifying and urgent roar echoed.
"How dare you, you brat!"
An extremely terrifying strike fell, stirring up endless storms.
One could sense the owner of the voice was filled with anger and rage.
"Farewell!" Qiyuan's figure disappeared once more, along with the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner.
On this day, the Six Heavens shook!
Guiyuetian's offensive artifact, the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner, had been taken by someone!
A third of it was gone!
This was an offensive artifact, the very foundation of Guiyuetian!
