When Zhou Bai opened the door and walked out, he saw Zheng Wentian standing in the corridor with a dispirited look on his face.
At the thought of returning to Central City, Zheng Wentian had been restless all night. He could not sleep, and he was not in the mood to cultivate either. He had been worrying all night.
As soon as Zheng Wentian saw Zhou Bai, he felt a little safer. He quickly said, "Let's go, Zhou Bai. Ying Luan and Qian Wangsun are waiting for us at the station. "
Zhou Bai nodded and walked out. Cristina and Ai Sha had already entered his mind.
Zheng Wentian looked at Zhou Bai, who was empty-handed, and asked in surprise, "Don't you have any luggage to bring?"
"Well, there's nothing to bring." After all, Zhou Bai had Ai Sha's dimensional bag ability. He put all the things he needed into the dimensional bag and naturally did not bother to bring anything else.
On the way to the station, Zhou Bai said resentfully, "Silly cat, didn't you say that you would be able to master Primitive Daoist Canon 05 today? Why did you fall asleep at the end? "
Cristina said, "I'm just a cat, and I have to cultivate so hard every day. What's wrong with falling asleep? Besides, my Daoization Degree is already 49.9%. I'll definitely master it tonight. "
"Anyway, we won't be able to compete on the first day." Cristina looked at Zhou Bai and said, "There must be all kinds of messy things going on. It's not like we'll start fighting as soon as we get there.
Even gangsters have to brag for half an hour when they want to fight, let alone something as big as the Daluo Heaven Discourse. It must be grand. "
Next, Zhou Bai arrived at the station and found Ying Luan and Qian Wangsun waiting there.
Ying Luan said, "You guys are here? Get in the car, Principal Yun Chonghe is already waiting for us in Central City. "
Zhou Bai followed them onto a supersonic flying vehicle. As the flying vehicle started up and headed towards the Central City, he looked at the scenery outside the window as he asked, "What's the arrangement for the Grand Overarching Sparring Tournament this time? When will the fight begin? How long will it last? "
Ying Luo said, "I've already asked someone to inquire about this. There will be an opening ceremony and a banquet tomorrow, and then the official competition."
"There are quite a lot of people in the competition this time. I heard that there are hundreds of people, and all of them will be broadcasted live. They will compete one by one, and it will probably take many days. You guys should be mentally prepared in advance."
…
In the wilderness of the northwest battlefront, in the base of the Heaven-Defying Sect.
Li Xiuzhu looked at the youth in front of him and smiled. "Samadhi, you are finally here. How is Qian Wangsun?"
The young man in front of him had his eyes tightly shut. His head was bald and his body was thin. He looked sickly. He was Samadhi, the Enlightened One of the Upheaval Sect who had been teaching Qian Wangsun for the past three months.
Samadhi closed his eyes and said, "Qian Wangsun's aptitude is very good. In the past three months, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds. His progress has even exceeded my expectations."
"Oh?" Li Xiuzhu raised his eyebrows in surprise. "What about other aspects? Do you think he is suitable to join us? "
Samadhi: "I have more or less tested him. He is a cultivator who can accept new things. His potential is also very good. I think he has the potential to become an Enlightened One."
Li Xiuzhu rubbed his chin. "I see."
Enlightened One was a title in the Heaven-Defying Sect. It represented the people under the sect master who knew of Li Xiuzhu's overall plan. They could continue to control the entire Heaven-Defying Sect even if Li Xiuzhu was missing or dead.
"I understand." Li Xiuzhu said, "I will find a chance to meet him."
At this time, Annie walked in with the experiment report. Seeing the youth with his eyes closed, she said, "Samadhi? You are finally back. "
"Annie, long time no see." Samadhi smiled. "Then I will leave first. You guys continue with your work."
Annie placed the experiment report in front of Li Xiuzhu. "Take a look. Currently, I have reached a bottleneck in my calculations. If I want to break through, I will need about a year."
Li Xiuzhu looked at the experiment report and nodded. "Reached a bottleneck? Sure enough, we need those real experts. "
Sixty years ago, the Myriad Island of Immortals had sent immortals to West Peak City to cooperate with human cultivators to study distortion and mutation.
Unfortunately, the Celestial Court changed its mind and the immortals withdrew. The person in charge of the cooperation project and a large number of experts were also brought to the central city. Until now, they were still imprisoned somewhere.
Now that Li Xiuzhu had reached a bottleneck in his research of mutated weapons, the first thing he thought of was the imprisoned experts.
Annie was the first to disagree. She said, "It is too dangerous to go to the central city to save people. How many immortals are there? Once our location is exposed, we will be finished. "
Li Xiuzhu: "It is indeed risky for others to go, so I plan to go myself."
Annie: "Are you crazy? That is the central city, where the Celestial Court is located, where the four ministries converge. It is a place where immortals live. You are going to save people alone? You don't know where they are, and you can't bring that many people out. You are going to die! "
Annie: "Do you know that you will be finished if you are caught?"
Annie advised, "There is no need for you to take the risk to save people. Can't we just hide here and slowly calculate the results? A year is not a long time … "
"A year is too long." Li Xiuzhu shook his head. "When I refined the Blood Transformation Divine Saber last time, I destroyed a portion of the restrictions. If we are unlucky, the Celestial Court might have already discovered our movements, and they might begin to encircle us at any time."
Hearing Li Xiuzhu's words, Annie was shocked. "So soon?"
Li Xiuzhu sighed. "We can't build our hopes of success on our opponent's mistakes. Instead, we should try our best to think of the Celestial Court as powerful as possible."
Annie stared at Li Xiuzhu. "You have made up your mind to go, right?"
Li Xiuzhu laughed awkwardly. "I can't hide anything from you. I'll be leaving today. While the Heavenly Court's attention is on the Zenith Heaven Dao Discourse, it'll be convenient for me to sneak in."
Annie sighed. "You are really not afraid of death."
Li Xiuzhu: "I can go to the central city to save people by myself, but there is something else I need to trouble you with. If I die, help me destroy the things in the secret room. "
Annie's eyes flickered, and she recalled what she had seen and heard in the secret room.
She had witnessed the birth of a new Li Xiuzhu there.
Annie was puzzled. "Destroy it?"
Li Xiuzhu nodded heavily. "If I don't return from the central city, destroy all my secret rooms. I have set up self-destruction restrictions inside. You can use this to activate them. "
As he spoke, he handed a talisman to Annie. "Remember, you must destroy them all. Don't leave a single thing behind."
Annie sighed. "I understand."
Li Xiuzhu: "Also, if I am not around, hand over the project to Samadhi. No matter what, the research here cannot stop."
…
On the other side, Zhou Bai and the others were already approaching the central city on their flying car.
Looking out from the window, they could see dazzling palaces floating among the auspicious clouds in the distant sky.
Zheng Wentian let out a deep breath and sighed in his heart, 'I thought I would never come back in this life.'
The flying car continued forward and soon arrived at the central city's station. Yun Chonghe was already waiting for them, and he escorted them out of the station.
Along the way, they were able to see the scenery in the sky more clearly.
Countless pavilions and terraces were mixed in the sky full of auspicious clouds, and the white movement was like a towering mountain peak.
From time to time, there would be men and women dressed in luxurious clothes. Some of them were riding on red-crowned cranes, while others were riding on colorful flying cars and auspicious clouds. They flew among the palaces.
The entire scene looked dazzling and magnificent, like an immortal's paradise.
Qian Wangsun looked at this scene and sighed softly. "What a waste."
