Chapter 999 - 934: Reversed Heavenly Gang

Su Xiaoxiao needing to find some mercenaries in Central Continent for training during her breakthrough makes sense.

But the old man running here, Han Yu just couldn’t understand.

Clearly, he could restore his cultivation but refused, and now he’s dragging his old bones wandering around.

"Why aren’t you staying on the ship, what are you wandering around for."

Han Yu’s lips twitched and he couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the old man.

"I’m here to seek opportunity."

The old man responded irritably, this was the same thing he said when he wanted to go out, and his three rebellious disciples almost made him angry.

"From the beginning, I had a feeling that if I want to make progress in speaking and acting, it has to be in Central Continent."

This is a kind of indescribable intuition that other cultivators might not pay much attention to, but he couldn’t ignore it.

He vaguely felt that there was an opportunity pulling him.

He believed this intuition so much that he eventually couldn’t resist and followed it out.

Han Yu didn’t quite believe in such metaphysical things, but with a group of disciples protecting him, he didn’t need to worry too much.

The Artifact Spirit had already run out with the jade bowl, eagerly awaiting new changes after collecting seeds in the Five Elements World.

It’s now more interested in perfecting the Five Elements World than defeating the Heavenly Dao, caring even more about collecting rules than Han Yu.

Maybe the day the Five Elements World is perfected, the two of them will truly have control over a world.

In its words, whoever wants to break Central Continent can take it.

Han Yu was quite curious about one thing, Mo Xiuwen came up with the suppression technique for Dharma Aspect monsters. He believed this point.

But who came up with such a wicked trick to deal with the Faceless Ones?

On this point, the old man couldn’t help but chuckle, "Who else can be so wickedly clever other than your Quan Xiaotong?"

Han Yu nodded with a smile, indeed reasonable, such a dastardly method surely seemed like Quan Xiaotong’s handiwork, although it was wicked, it was quite effective.

"You don’t need to worry about this. Our family will support around, and you should do what you need to do. Once you find the rules, then make another trip."

The old man spoke to Han Yu, knowing well about the matters Han Yu was dealing with currently.

In the entire Central Continent, only he could continuously collect rules, which was of utmost importance.

After a brief chat, the token on Han Yu’s body rang again.

It was the same message coming from other places, and each time it was three locations.

Han Yu hardly delayed, making brief greetings, then hurriedly left again.

"Do you think this guy might become the Heavenly Dao in the end?"

Mu Zili looked at Han Yu’s departing back, suddenly contemplating.

Han Yu was not the Heavenly Dao, as everyone in Central Continent knew.

But the ultimate ownership of the Heavenly Dao was speculated by all in Central Continent.

Though not currently the case, what if Han Yu did end up laughing last!

The old man’s face smiled, "If the final ownership of the Heavenly Dao falls to this guy, it would be acceptable, at least he’s interesting."

Not only is he interesting, but if he truly is the one, no one would find it unfair.

"If there’s an opportunity for this matter to pass peacefully, we might witness good drama."

The old man suddenly grinned, if Central Continent could safely get through this crisis, and the Heavenly Dao was still around, the seat was likely to be quite hot.

The thought was amusing in itself.

...

In the following days, Han Yu continued with uninteresting travels across various regions.

In two or three days, he could collect a few rules, traveling to various places while incidentally dealing with hundreds of Dharma Aspect and Faceless Ones.

Yet he rarely saw the cultivators from both sides anymore, almost as if they’d vanished.

Although aware that both sides had the thought of rebellion, they seemed to be hiding too deeply.

Not a trace of them could be found on Central Continent.

"They may have hidden back in the Endless Sea Domain."

The Artifact Spirit speculated, as fierce battles were fought all over Central Continent, it’s logically impossible to hide so many cultivators.

Only that vast and boundless domain was most suitable for hiding people.

Han Yu found this reasonable too, unable to resist getting in touch with Quan Xiaotong.

Unexpectedly, they had not only already guessed but verified it as well.

Indeed, they are hiding there.

"You all be careful, I fear the renegades from both sides might invade."

Han Yu couldn’t help but caution.

"No need to worry, neither side is foolish enough to do such suicidal things, and our side is still using your concealment techniques."

Quan Xiaotong spoke confidently on the other end, lately, there’s been a lot of joyful news in Central Continent.

First, had come the widespread breakthrough of Walking the Dao among Central Continent cultivators, then the mechanism Dharma Aspect provided by Mo Xiuwen, able to rival these entities, followed by the cultivators from Yama Hall and Celestial Dao Sect rebelling to ensure self-preservation.

All these situations greatly favored Central Continent.

One could say that Central Continent was starting to regain lost ground.

Although the Celestial Beings from both sides were incredibly powerful, they ultimately underestimated human nature.

This was Central Continent’s best opportunity.

Whether Han Yu could progress further or the Heavenly Dao appeared later, the situation would continually favor them.

After hanging up, Quan Xiaotong joyfully retrieved the token, having not smiled like this in a long time.

Ling Wuce couldn’t help but tease, "If we tell you another piece of good news, you might be unable to hold back your laughter."

"What news?"

Though Quan Xiaotong had some guesses, he still asked with a smile.

"The second batch of seed cultivators has also been completed."

Ling Wuce smiled brightly.

Actually, the two batches of cultivators are progressing at a similar pace. Back when Mu Zili came over, he suggested directly conducting both batches simultaneously.

This is essentially a gamble, why even bother dividing into batches!

If it weren’t for the inability to supply all the cultivators, Mu Zili would have suggested boosting everyone.

But firstly, resources are limited; secondly, not every cultivator has the potential to be exploited.

Now it’s just right, as the Cultivation Pills can make up for the inherent deficiencies of these cultivators.

Quan Xiaotong kept smiling after hearing the words.

"The mechanisms and Dharma Aspects over at Xiuwen’s place can supply us right now. He’s asking if we should send out more people?"

Ling Wuce was speaking as Chasing Soul came in with a dejected look.

It was also about whether to send people out. Now all the cultivators are at Mo Xiuwen’s place, adapting to the operations of the mechanisms. They can leave at any time.

"Just go directly!"

Quan Xiaotong responded without hesitation. There’s no need to specially ask; these cultivators are meant to support Han Yu. He’s willing to send as many as he can.

"There’s one more thing."

Chasing Soul spoke with a troubled expression.

"Did you encounter any trouble? Speak freely."

Quan Xiaotong and Ling Wuce spoke together.

Now Mo Xiuwen is also a key focus of Central Continent’s attention. Whatever is needed, the entire Central Continent unconditionally satisfies.

"It’s not about him; it’s about me. This time, I’m leading the team."

Chasing Soul continued, still with a troubled expression.

...

"Are you sure this is okay?"

Mo Xiuwen was tinkering while another Chasing Soul was holding blueprints nearby.

He has grown fond of assisting with technical tasks. Nowadays, he has learned quite a bit of Mo Family’s techniques, at least enough so that Mo Xiuwen doesn’t need to do everything himself and has Chasing Soul helping him.

Chasing Soul rolled his eyes and said with a sour tone, "It’s completely upside down; you know when the clone returned, it pointed at my nose, scolding me for being unambitious and not striving forward."

Mo Xiuwen almost laughed out loud; this did happen a few days ago.

The clone was envious that everyone else had rules to follow. Unfortunately, it’s just a pitiful clone, and the original body is obsessed with crafting, neglecting cultivation, which led to the scene where the clone was disappointed.

Chasing Soul became angrier the more he thought about it, muttering, "If you want rules, go cultivate them yourself. Thinking about getting something for nothing every day is just shameless."

Mo Xiuwen burst into laughter, pointing at him, unable to come up with words to rebut.

The clone urges the original body to cultivate properly.

Then the original body humbly accepts and entrusts the glorious task back to the clone.

So ultimately, the matter of cultivation still depends on the clone doing it himself.

"Aren’t you afraid of causing another ’Soul Division’?"

Mo Xiuwen joked.

Back then, the ’Soul Division’ happened because the original body and the clone were indistinguishable or each had their own thoughts, leading to Chasing Soul’s appearance.

"It’s fine, I figured it out long ago; the clone is actually just me. The ’Soul Division’ issue arose because the Dao Heart was faulty at first, but I’m very stable here."

Chasing Soul spoke carelessly. After the clone died several times and manifested as the same him each time, he realized that maybe his Heaven and Earth Four Division Skill should be renamed.

"Rename it to what? Are you saying this cultivation technique is different for you?"

Mo Xiuwen showed interest for the first time in Chasing Soul’s cultivation technique, asking curiously.

While Chasing Soul spoke, his hands never stopped moving.

"Indeed, it’s different now. This technique was flawed initially, but starting from me, it’s been normal. How should I put it! I’ll teach you if there’s a chance."

Mo Xiuwen was startled, pausing his work to wave his hands repeatedly, "You mustn’t teach me, nor anyone else."

Precisely because of Chasing Soul’s situation, techniques involving clones have become taboo in Central Continent.

They are feared intensely.

Nobody wants to be killed by their own clone one day.

"Don’t worry; I’ve already fixed many flaws in this Clone Skill. It can only create up to three simultaneous clones."

Chasing Soul spoke while demonstrating.

At the same time, two identical figures appeared, greeting each other. If not for their identical appearance, they probably could chat leisurely amongst themselves.

Especially intriguing is that these three figures work while discussing.

"Soul Armor went out to cultivate; why don’t the two of you go help?"

Chasing Soul shamelessly mentioned.

Soul Beta rolled his eyes, firmly refusing, "Original body, you know me; I also enjoy crafting."

Soul Gamma chimed in, "Original body, you know me; I like assisting."

Chasing Soul sighed helplessly; even with a new cultivation technique, there are drawbacks. Soul Armor is inverted, and so are these two.

For significant matters, he can call the shots, but for other things, negotiation is necessary.

Mo Xiuwen was already looking dumbfounded, even forgetting his tasks, just listening to their conversations.

"What about Soul Armor?"

"Forget him; he has a loose mouth. Let him cultivate well for us."

"Have you thought of a name for the new technique?"

"Too lazy to think; you’re the original body, you decide. As long as you have one breath left, we won’t die."

"Exactly, even if you kick the bucket, we three will just keep a low profile and survive."

Mo Xiuwen wiped the cold sweat off his brow; this Clone Skill is really more sinister, isn’t it?

It’s no wonder why it’s classified as a taboo technique for a reason.

Yet Chasing Soul seems to be enjoying himself; although the clones don’t seem very obedient, they’re far stronger than they used to be.

On another boat, after Soul Armor lamented extensively, he had already set off with a new batch of mechanism Dharma Aspects, breaking through the void. He must go to Central Continent for battle, seek a breakthrough, and then support the original body.
