Chapter 124 Home

Just thinking about how he had secretly double-crossed Zhujiu Yin in that lucid dream, Wei Yuan felt a bit cowardly. No, let's say prudent. He couldn't imagine how furious the gray-robed man must be right now. His gaze swept across the bloody camp.

He clenched his fingers slightly, temporarily stabilizing the true spirits of the generals here, which were on the verge of collapse.

He'd bring them to Zhujiu Yin later.

The ten or so martial generals here were actually quite capable. After all, to be selected for the vanguard army, they had to be top-notch warriors. But all of them had been beheaded with a single move, their eyes wide with disbelief.

The Hetu Luoshu mocked loudly, "Come on, come on! Again!"

"You haven't eaten, have you?!"

"That little bit of strength you have wouldn't even scrub off Grandpa Luo's dead skin!"

"Dish polishers have more strength than you lot."

All sorts of taunts came in endless variations.

Not a single phrase was repeated.

Wei Yuan suspected that, if it wanted to, the Hetu Luoshu could discern every curse in the world. Well, in theory, it could do that. But the noise was too much. Wei Yuan frowned, and the Hetu Luoshu instantly changed its tone:

"Ah, my handsome, talented, and magnificent Museum Master, do you have any instructions?"

"Humble Little Luo is here to serve you!"

Wei Yuan was speechless.

Equipment: Wei Yuan's Axe (formerly known as Xing Tian's Axe.jpg)

Description: Exclusive for civil officials, a communication tool!

Special effect: As long as you hold this large axe with a blade thicker than your neck, any spiritual being will become exceptionally easy to communicate with, allowing you to be yourself, a dashing civil official.

Wei Yuan silently complained in his heart.

So that's it, Xing Tian's Axe is the model for civil officials.

Still, the Hetu Luoshu Stone Tablet's projection had indeed been his greatest help in breaking through.

On one hand, while the Hetu Luoshu couldn't calculate the position of the Queen Mother of the West, or Qi, or Yu…

As a top treasure that once possessed the ability to weave fate, even its projection could easily calculate the safe passages through this massive military formation. It was as if Wei Yuan had the back door key to the army's formation, and then charged in, completely screwing over the thirty thousand vanguard troops.

The formation was useless against him.

On the other hand, there was the matter of fighting the enemy.

Although his strength was formidable, he wasn't overwhelmingly powerful against these guys.

He could win, but he couldn't kill them instantly.

So Wei Yuan shrunk the Hetu Luoshu and used it as a breastplate.

With the heavy blows of his battle axe, any competent general would choose to stab at his heart in a straight line, trading a death for a death. And as everyone knows, the authentic Hetu Luoshu, although a bit cowardly, is still a genuine product.

According to the ancient appraisal techniques of Shenzhou, it generally couldn't be broken easily.

Only weapons of the level of Xing Tian's Axe could shatter it. So when the weapons of these guys struck the Hetu Luoshu, they were all shattered.

Wei Yuan swung his axe backhand, beheading them all with a single move.

He created the appearance of overwhelming power.

As for whether he would misjudge the attacks...

This was a Hetu Luoshu brand breastplate!

It came with a built-in passive skill of calculating celestial secrets and deflecting blades with 100% accuracy.

And it had a hardness that only weapons like Fu Xi's, Xing Tian's Axe, or Xuanyuan Sword could break. Any other weapon would be shattered on contact. Wei Yuan turned and mounted his horse. Xing Tian's Axe in his hand lifted the curtain, and the vanguard army's elite troops saw the corpses of their slain generals. Their morale finally collapsed.

After Wei Yuan threw the head of their commander over,

Even the most elite guards couldn't help but tremble, turning and fleeing.

Wei Yuan rode his Bolong horse, watching the army mutiny.

The Hetu Luoshu, bound to his body, said obsequiously:

"Magnificent Master of the Museum, would you like me to find the locations where these troops have scattered?"

"No need."

Wei Yuan twitched his lips, deeply suspecting that the Hetu Luoshu subconsciously thought of him as a bloodthirsty maniac, a killing god who would pick up Xing Tian's Axe and hack at anything, just because he had shattered it eighty thousand times before.

This was called a subjective misunderstanding.

Wei Yuan watched the army scatter. Even if all thirty thousand vanguard troops were killed, the reduction in combat power would be negligible for an army of over a million supernaturals. But if these vanguard troops were allowed to flee back…

Then the news and intelligence that Wei Yuan had single-handedly broken through the army camp and beheaded all the vanguard generals would have a huge impact on the rear, and the negative impact on morale would be greater than if all thirty thousand supernatural cultivators had stayed. However, a million supernatural troops…

If he could figure out the style of the Great Wilderness army,

And add to that the contempt these supernatural cultivator armies had for the human world,

That would be perfect. It completely fit within Lord Wu'an's range of targets.

He doesn't take orders for less than 300,000…

And here it comes?

Wei Yuan shook his head, urging his horse forward. He originally wanted to return directly to the human world, but sensing the gradual collapse of the true spirits, he had to find a hidden place, set up a formation, and his face paled slightly. Charging into formations alone was prone to being backlashed by baleful energy if done too often.

However, Wei Yuan himself was already half a Mountain God, and the interference of baleful energy backlash would be suppressed.

After all, no matter how powerful baleful energy was, it couldn't pose much of a threat to a stone.

The only thing that could cause a Mountain God to collapse and die was the power of weathering.

Wei Yuan held the true spirits, thought for a moment, and also grabbed the Hetu Luoshu Stone Tablet. The Hetu Luoshu Stone Tablet's projection cheerfully said, "Powerful and majestic Master of the Museum, may your humble Little Luo ask a question? Where are we going?"

Wei Yuan's lips twitched: "To apologize with gifts."

"Oh, oh, apologize, it's right to bring gifts."

The Hetu Luoshu projection agreed.

The Hetu Luoshu's voice paused, "Then, may I be so bold as to ask, great Master of the Museum, where are our gifts?"

Wei Yuan was silent.

The Master of the Museum smiled and patted the Hetu Luoshu's head, smiling without saying a word.

Hetu Luoshu projection: "…………"

"No!!!!!!"

"I have blocked knives for the Master of the Museum, I have performed meritorious service for the Master of the Museum!"

"Your Majesty, you can't treat me like this…"

Before the Hetu Luoshu projection could break down again,

Wei Yuan directly closed his eyes slightly, mustered his courage, and went to the lucid dream.

……………………

"A three-legged standoff?"

At the old street flower shop, the Kunlun Mountain Gods and Water Gods looked frozen.

The young strategist took a sip of tea, finding the rich floral fragrance and the taste of black tea to be a perfect match. If it were paired with A-Yuan's plum blossom cakes, it would be wonderful. He decided that after things were over, he would open a Guqin (Chinese zither) teaching studio next to their house and freeload meals every day.

It's just that he might not be very famous.

Not many people would come to learn the Guqin.

The old Mountain Lord of Chongwu said, "...Little Sir, you say it's a three-legged standoff, but that may be one-sided."

A-Liang smiled and said, "Of course, the events of that year are too ancient and distant. Even the Old Mountain Lord doesn't know about them, let alone Liang. But I still believe that as long as something has happened, it will definitely leave various clues."

He casually poured himself tea, saying, "Three sentences."

"If the Old Mountain Lord still feels that I have no reason after listening to my three sentences, then I will turn around and leave…" The young strategist thought of that so-called female lecturer who was proficient in human nature that he had seen recently and laughed to himself.

The Old Mountain Lord said, "Little Sir, please speak."

The young man gently shook his feather fan: "First."

"General Lu Wu divided his own power, transforming it into the Crouching Tiger Token and throwing it into the human world. And the time when the Crouching Tiger Token collapsed and was damaged just happened to be when Geng Chen was secretly ambushed in Kunlun by the Twelve Yuan Chen, precisely during the Tang Dynasty, when false disasters were being promoted. This timing is truly ingenious."

"Second."

"When splitting the Mountains and Seas, the Queen Mother of the West chose to come to the human world, constantly traveling around the world, making arrangements, even moving her part of the Kunlun Jade Mountain to the human world. She didn't stay in the Great Wilderness, which was richer in spiritual energy and treasures."

The Mountain God of Taiqi retorted:

"That's just because of the events of that year. There was a rift between the three great gods."

"Therefore, the Lady chose to leave the Great Wilderness and the Kunlun Mountains and Seas."

A-Liang nodded, saying, "So that's it."

"What Taiqi Mountain God is referring to is the matter of Jue stealing the Immortal Flower to prolong A-Yuan's life."

The Taiqi Mountain God said, "Precisely."

The young strategist raised a third finger, smiling:

"Coincidentally, this is exactly the third thing I want to say, and also the problem that I have been pondering over these past few days, unable to figure out."

"Ka Ming, who illuminates the ten directions, knows the past and future, understands the four directions of heaven and earth, and sees the life and death years."

"Didn't He notice when the then-young Jue went to the Garden of Heaven?"

"Not only didn't He notice,"

"But He even allowed Jue to steal the Immortal Flower down the mountain so easily?"

It was as if a thunderbolt had struck, and many Mountain Gods were silent for a moment.

The Mountain Lord of Chongwu murmured, "This, this…"

Ka Ming, who illuminates the ten directions and knows almost everything, how could the ancient top ten powerhouse who had never stepped out of the Nine Heavens Gate not have noticed the young celestial maiden at that time? Then that meant that He clearly noticed this matter, but still allowed this matter, which would lead to the intensification of the conflict between Lu Wu and the Queen Mother of the West, to happen.

The young strategist poured himself another cup of tea.

Gently shaking his feather fan, he said calmly:

"Let me say one more sentence."

"This matter, it was Ka Ming who sat by and watched the development of the situation."

"Ignoring the development of the situation."

"Letting Jue, who came from the lineage of the Queen Mother of the West,"

"Steal the treasure from Lu Wu's Garden of Heaven."

"And then the conflict intensified."

"Do I need to continue to explain?"

In the flower shop, there was silence. A-Liang said, "It seems that the things you experienced before constantly guided you to deliberately avoid thinking about this problem. Perhaps Ka Ming's authority really is cheating…"

"The other side has actually harbored malicious intentions towards Jue for a long time. Choosing the strategy of turning the tables at this time is like actively offering oneself up for the other side to control. The more exquisite the strategy, the more it falls into Ka Ming's trap."

The Mountain Lord of Chongwu's expression was complex: "So that's how it is… so that's how it is…"

He said with a wry smile, "If it weren't for Sir reminding us, we would have almost actively walked to our deaths."

Without the young strategist in front of them revealing the truth, they might have followed Ka Ming's guidance, formed an alliance, and then wanted to negotiate with Ka Ming, only to fall into the other's trap. The young strategist's tone was calm and confident: "It doesn't matter, I always knew."

"I am here to reverse fate."

The Old Mountain Lord's eyes were complex. He stood up, wanting to apologize for what he had said earlier.

Before he could bow, his hand was pressed down by the young strategist.

"It was I who suspected Sir earlier…"

"No."

The handsome young man winked his right eye, smiling: "I said, I would only say three sentences just now."

"And what I said earlier was a bit too much."

The white-clothed youth gracefully saluted, saying: "Earlier, in order to seize the initiative, my words were often impolite."

"I hope you all will not take offense."

The Mountain Lord of Chongwu recalled, thinking of the sentence the young man had just said, "Let me say one more sentence."

Was that what he had planned from the beginning?

The Old Mountain Lord's expression became more gentle.

Then he politely said, "In the current situation, does Sir have any brilliant ideas?"

The other Mountain Gods also didn't dare to have the slightest bit of contempt. It was as if a certain Museum Master who didn't want to reveal his name had said, perhaps there was no Bai Ze in the world at all, or perhaps everyone was Bai Ze, who knew to hold onto the big thighs.

A-Liang's voice was gentle: "Rather than turn the tables and grant power to others,"

"It is better to stand up as equals."

"The Kunlun Mountains and Seas God system, with Mountain Gods and Water Gods, now has the Kunlun Jade Book, as well as the Queen Mother of the West's ancestral court Jade Mountain in the human world. Rather than form an alliance, why not imprint the names of the Water Gods and Mountain Gods on the Jade Book, occupy Kunlun, control the Earth Veins and Water Veins, gather it all into one, and achieve the Queen Mother's Dharmakaya."

"Then, in the name of Kunlun, with the status of the Supreme Master Queen Mother, wrap up the great righteousness and stand up as equals with Ka Ming. The Queen Mother of the West, who occupies the Mountain Gods and Water Gods of the human world, and a Kunlun celestial maiden, have completely different meanings in the entire Mountains and Seas Great Wilderness."

"After that, there will be opportunities and room for alliances and counter-alliances."

Gathering Mountain Gods and Water Gods, the Earth Veins and Qi Veins are united, ascending the Kunlun Supreme Master.

Then, occupy the human world and stand up as equals.

This is a conspiracy to directly become a chess player.

They could even rely on Gonggong's existence to restrain Ka Ming in reverse, buying time.

The Mountain Lord of Chongwu's heart was surging, and he subconsciously asked, "Please teach us, Sir!"

The young A-Liang lifted the teapot, discovering that the black tea had been drunk, so he raised his feather fan, smiling: "Let's end today's matter here." He stood up, and the Old Mountain Lord and others' expressions froze. Their hearts had just been scratched and teased, and the young strategist turned around and left.

"As for how to specifically strategize the aftermath,"

The young man smiled, saying: "You will have to come to the door another day and ask A-Yuan if he agrees."

"I listen to him."

The various Mountain Gods and Water Gods looked stunned.

A certain passerby Museum Master was forcibly dragged out by his younger brother to show off his presence.

A-Liang, who was used to discovering that his teammates couldn't keep up with the rhythm, had already figured out how to prevent A-Yuan from falling behind. Rather than directly have A-Yuan follow his train of thought, it was better to just tie him up with a rope, and pull him out every now and then to show off his presence, forcibly pulling him into the rhythm and running along.

Liang is truly good to him.

The young strategist was very satisfied in his heart.

Turning around and leaving, he only left behind the Mountain Gods, who were shaken to the core by the deep-water bombs he had dropped.

"That Museum Master…"

The Old Mountain Lord smiled wryly: "He is courageous himself, and has people around him who are superior in combat power, as well as strategists like Mr. Zhuge. He can be both a friend and foe with the Water God Gonggong, and he can also be on intimate terms with the Huaiwo Water Lord. He is clearly just a lazy potter, but I actually saw the aura of a hero of ancient times. It really is…"

At the same time, he inexplicably felt in his heart that such a guy seemed to be worthy of the celestial maiden.

He wanted to drink a cup of tea to relieve his boiling emotions.

He picked up the teacup, slightly stunned.

Recalling the young man's actions of drinking tea while speaking, his voice was shocked.

"It's all gone?!"

……………………

In the lucid dream, Wei Yuan was grabbed by Xing Tian as soon as he entered.

The God of War seemed to be frightened, his face pale, and his strength was ridiculously great, making Wei Yuan stunned. He was a little cowardly in his heart. How angry was Zhujiu Yin to make someone as fierce as Xing Tian turn into this? At the thought of this, Wei Yuan wanted to slip away.

Xing Tian's right hand pressed firmly on his shoulder, saying: "Don't even think about slipping away, kid!"

"This is your fault, so bear it well!"

"Bullshit, weren't you having fun at the time too?!"

Xing Tian said: "In short, go and persuade Zhujiu Yin quickly."

Wei Yuan's lips twitched: "So, what does he plan to do…"

"He was so angry that he went home."

"???! Holy shit?!"
