Qin Yexuan transferred all the information about Wang Jiaqian's origin to Zhu Tianqi.
This move was brilliant.
"Teacher Wang Jiaqian is the final puzzle. Her consciousness hides countless souls of the Wu clan. In other words, she is the Wu clan's本体 (běntǐ -本体)!"
Zhu Tianqi immediately understood: "Infinite personalities, each personality is a member of the Wu clan. This tribe is truly formidable, to conceive such a clever strategy, using Wang Jiaqian as a vessel."
One person is a city, one person is a tribe!
"From now on, brother, you will impersonate a member of the Wu clan. Remember you were discovered by the Gaoli Dao Sect in the East Sea, codenamed Hai Ji, and were treated as an experimental subject. You are entering Chaoge under the identity of a deceased person..."
Zhu Tianqi was too familiar with his elder brother's methods and quickly memorized the information, but was also curious: "With the enemy's capabilities, wouldn't they be completely oblivious?"
"Heh heh, the enemy has been patient for so many years, and has exhausted too much energy to control the demon race and the fallen Buddhist and Taoist forces. I have arranged for Jin Gaoyue to provide cover in Gaoli. In their haste, they won't notice."
"What exactly is going on?" Zhu Tianqi stared at him: "I won't even mention that Miss Lotus. Who is the mastermind behind all this? Brother, you've known for a long time, haven't you?"
Qin Yexuan sighed silently.
He did not hide it and told Zhu Tianqi about Xuanyuan Xing.
Zhu Tianqi raised his eyebrows: "The Xuanyuan family. They were active hundreds of years ago... Many founding heroes of my Great Ming Dynasty were related to them."
Qin Yexuan chuckled: "Zhu Yuanzhang did not like the Xuanyuan family. He would rather use followers of Zoroastrianism than let so-called immortals interfere in human affairs. Heh, Old Zhu was indeed a man of character."
As Qin Yexuan mentioned the founding emperor of the Great Ming, Zhu Tianqi had already stood up and bowed respectfully to the heavens.
Qin Yexuan shook his head and continued talking about the Xuanyuan family's past: "They are different from the reclusive clans. They possess their own blessed lands, which are similar to the small worlds of Lingmeng Mountain. They can be considered immortals living in seclusion, but for some reason, they always like to interfere in the affairs of this world."
Zhu Tianqi thought of something and slapped the table: "Bastards! I've always wondered how the Demon Sect we founded was stolen from us. Since that Xuanyuan Xing is your wife's sister, she must have overheard things about the Demon Sect."
Qin Yexuan said calmly: "After I buried you, I intended to disband the Demon Sect, but a religious sect with a thousand-year heritage is not so easily disbanded. In the end, they hid themselves among the common people."
"Su Qing... My wife Xuanyuan Yue once compiled information and classics of the Demon Sect. Xuanyuan Xing must have impersonated her sister and obtained that information!"
"So she used the heritage of the Demon Sect and became the new sect leader!"
Zhu Tianqi was furious: "Now it's to the point where I've become a target of the Demon Sect. How ridiculous!"
Qin Yexuan remained silent.
Zhu Tianqi snorted, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face: "Wait, brother, you want me to impersonate the daughter of the Wu clan and be a pawn at the risk of my life? What's in it for me?"
Qin Yexuan smiled: "Do you know how the Three Riddles guide the descent of the Pure Land? And what does the Pure Land mean?"
Zhu Tianqi said proudly: "Don't treat me like an idiot. I've also studied ancient cultivator information. The Pure Land, at most, is opening a door to return to the ancient era when everyone cultivated, meaning the revival of spiritual energy. I understand that."
"It's more than that. Whoever can personally open that door can obtain the Primordial Spirit at the moment of opening, and thus control the future world order for a thousand years!"
Zhu Tianqi gasped: "Xuanyuan Xing's ambition is so great?"
Qin Yexuan sneered: "I suspect she has the backing of her family. Since the development of modern technology, the Xuanyuan family has gradually been forgotten by the world. Look at the magnificent landscape today, do they need their immortal families to come out and save the world?"
Zhu Tianqi mused: "So, the Xuanyuan family wants to create an opportunity for themselves. The best outcome is a world in chaos, with spiritual energy reviving, and they can re-emerge. Then billions of humans will have to worship them as gods!"
"Precisely. The return of their former faith, and they will transform into heavenly gods, worshipped by all holy spirits."
Qin Yexuan's eyes flickered: "The Three Riddles are the method to open that door. Blood that is neither god nor human, when the golden carp leaps over the dragon gate, that door will instantly open. Therefore, Yu Luo is the locator for opening the door, and the key to opening the door is the Wu clan!"
"The Wu clan has billions of personalities and souls, like a computer with infinite threads, capable of precise calculations. Opening that door requires countless souls to perform it simultaneously."
"A daughter who is neither human nor not human, the Wu clan!"
"But there is a problem here. To make the Wu clan operate at full capacity, it requires almost infinite energy. Now, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scarce, what should we do? We must use the Hell Diagram."
The stone that is neither jade nor jade represents the billions of souls collected in the Hell Diagram.
They will become the energy source for the Wu clan.
At this point, Qin Yexuan smiled: "You pretend to be from the Wu clan, and Xuanyuan Xing, in order to complete her plan, will have to improve your abilities. As long as you are smart enough, you can take the opportunity to use the resources of the Demon Sect and the Buddhist and Taoist forces, and cultivate your physique along the way."
Smart people don't need lengthy explanations. Zhu Tianqi's eyes lit up.
"Fortune favors the bold! I'll do it!"
...
At this time, on the outskirts of Chaoge, at the Dragon Gate, the place had already changed.
This was a place with excellent feng shui.
Nine tributaries of the Zhuo River converged here, forming a long river winding and bending eighteen times. Legend has it that it was here that the carp leaped over the dragon gate, hence the name Dragon Gate River.
Seven li east of this long river, there was a natural archway formed by a mountain cliff.
On two plots of land near this archway, strange giant buildings had been erected.
These buildings seemed to come from ancient times, built entirely of natural stones, resembling two high platforms.
On top of the platforms, bronze artifacts inscribed with oracle bone script were being assembled piece by piece.
It was a bridge!
A bridge assembled entirely from bronze artifacts.
Those working were all from the combined Buddhist and Taoist organizations.
In fact, these monks and Taoists were demons possessing human bodies. Although they worked diligently, their efficiency was indeed poor.
The supervisors were getting frustrated.
"I said long ago that with limited time and a heavy task, humans should be doing this!"
"It was agreed before that the Song family and Sun family of Chaoge would organize workers to build this bridge. Now, all these are monsters, heh heh, they were beasts before, they don't understand anything!"
A supervisor opened the blueprint and couldn't help but mock: "They have to learn basic units of length from scratch. I don't think it can be completed."
Behind them, footsteps sounded.
The supervisors' breathing hitched.
"Hush, stop talking, the demoness is here..." Before the supervisor could finish speaking, his head flew off.
A white light flashed, and a man in a white suit retracted the sleeve dart from his sleeve.
Only then did the remaining supervisors scream. Seven people, seven arms fell to the ground.
The man in the white suit sneered: "The Sect Leader gave you three days, and you haven't even finished building the bridge. Do you dare to call yourselves engineers?"
The seven supervisors had already fainted. The man in the white suit's eyes flickered, and his sleeve dart moved again.
These eight supervisors were killed on the spot.
The man in the white suit, however, remained expressionless. He muttered something and suddenly raised his hand to pat the ground.
A red light flashed, and the eight supervisors stood up like zombies.
"You couldn't do it when you were alive, but now that you're zombies, you will work for me for 24 hours!"
After doing all this, the man in the white suit turned and bowed: "Sect Leader, please inspect!"
Over the Dragon Gate River, a graceful figure appeared, instantly crossing a distance of a hundred meters, and like a fairy, appeared before the stone gate...
