Hearing Li Zhengdao's words, a look of doubt flashed across Zhou Bai's face: "What do you mean?"
However, Jiaojiao said in her heart: "This guy is most likely trying to sow discord between us, don't listen to his nonsense. Can you still use your ability to lure him out of Luotian Realm? "
Jiaojiao was referring to the Calamity of Poverty. Previously, Zhou Bai had used the Calamity of Poverty ability to lure Li Zhengdao to the front of the cannon.
Zhou Bai replied with the mechanical dependant in Jiaojiao's ear: "Not now, this ability can't be used at will."
Zhou Bai's research on the Calamity of Poverty ability was quite thorough.
After all, he had trained with Zheng Wentian every day, allowing him to have a deep understanding of the various functions of the Calamity of Poverty.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai sighed in his heart. That was really a simple and happy time, he didn't have to think about anything every day, he just had to work hard on his cultivation.
'Sigh, I'm getting old, I always miss the time when I was studying.'
The Calamity of Poverty could only work on the target once a day. As long as the target completed the action of 'borrowing', then within 24 hours, it could not be used on the target repeatedly, or it would be ineffective.
This was the limit that Zhou Bai understood very early on, otherwise, Zhou Bai would not have only borrowed it from Zheng Wentian once a day. No matter what, it had to be done dozens of times a day.
After the dependant shared Zhou Bai's Calamity of Poverty, it could also only be used once a day.
Moreover, Zhou Bai did not need to try to know that Li Zhengdao must be on guard now, so it was impossible to directly use the Calamity of Poverty to lure the other party out.
However, Zhou Bai did not explain the information about the Calamity of Poverty to Jiaojiao in detail, he only said that it could not be used for the time being.
On the other side, after Li Zhengdao, who was standing in Luotian Realm, used the Heavenly Mirror's conversion, all the images were made into simple ink effects, and all the sounds became calm and mechanical.
After being separated by a layer, although Li Zhengdao was not very comfortable to observe, he basically eliminated all kinds of attacks against the five senses.
He directly said: "Zhou Bai, do you know? It's because of the existence of intelligent life that the void can affect the material world. "
This was the first time Zhou Bai had heard of this. His eyes narrowed as he listened attentively.
Li Zhengdao continued, "The more intelligent life forms communicate with the void and use the power of the void, the more active and responsive the void will be, and the more it will interfere with the physical world."
At this point, Li Zhengdao sighed. "Guess what would happen if no one in the world could communicate with the void?"
Zhou Bai was slightly taken aback. This was the first time Li Xiuzhu had heard of this. He could not help but ask, "Could there be no void?"
Li Zhengdao bemoaned the state of the universe and pitied the fate of mankind. "If no one communicated with the void, then the void would not have disturbed the Physical World, and there would not have been the distortion of Tendo over a hundred years ago, and there would not have been the existence of distortion."
"Then who was the first to communicate with the Void and start this disaster?"
Li Zhengdao said, "Qingyun Zi, the founder of the Three Clear Daoist Sect. He was the first person in history to communicate with the void, the source of all the tragedies. It was because of his arbitrary decision that the void appeared, causing the distortion of Tendo countless years later, leading to distortion. "
Li Zhengdao sighed. "Unfortunately, it was already too late by the time the Celestial Court found out about this. The power of the void had already reached a point where it was difficult to stop. "
Zhou Bai listened to what Li Zhengdao said in astonishment. He immediately used his mechanical dependent to ask in Jiao Jiao's ear, "Great Elder, is what he said true? Regarding the characteristics of the void and the fact that Qingyun Zi was the first to communicate with the void. "
Jiao Jiao's tone seemed to contain a hint of astonishment. "Regarding the part about the void becoming active due to communication and usage … this is the first time I've heard of this theory."
Zhou Bai said, "Is that Qingyun Zi really the first person in history to communicate with the void?"
Jiao Jiao hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I don't know. Back then, after the distortion of Tendo, I slept for too long. After Master woke me up, he committed suicide. Although I took over the position of Sect Master … to be honest, many of the secrets of the Three Clear Daoist Sect have probably been lost. "
As if knowing what Zhou Bai was thinking, Li Zhengdao continued, "What I said is also a secret of the Celestial Court, a secret of secrets that even many Immortals and Gods don't know about. Even within the Three Clear Daoist Sect, perhaps due to historical reasons, it hasn't been passed down. However, these are all true facts."
"Qingyun Zi was just the beginning. We only learned about it afterwards. Later on, the appearance and use of the five great divine abilities further triggered a response from the void."
"And following the appearance of the five great divine abilities, the void's response became even more active. As a result, more and more cultivators and Immortals and Gods began to sense the existence of the void. Countless people were amazed by the profundities of the five great divine abilities and the void. As a result, they created various daoist techniques that used the power of the void, resulting in all sorts of abnormalities. "
"It was also the appearance of the void that affected the operation of Tendo. Until a hundred years ago, Tendo began to distort and become distorted. This led to the tragedy of humanity today. "
Li Zhengdao sighed, "So do you understand now? Zhou Bai, the source of all tragedies is the Three Clear Daoist Sect and the five great divine abilities. "
Listening to Li Zhengdao's words, Zhou Bai's brain worked rapidly, "That's how the void came about?"
According to Zhou Bai's previous information and speculation, the void should have appeared after the First Great War between Humans and Demons. Due to the appearance of the void, the environment deteriorated. Demons and Spiritualists disappeared from Earth. Then, homo sapiens appeared, and the environment started to recover. Spiritualists and demons returned again.
"Li Zhengdao didn't mention the First Great War between Humans and Demons," Zhou Bai thought for a while and asked, "Cristina, have you heard about these things?"
Cristina shook her head, "I don't remember these things. Could he be lying and purposely trying to sow discord between you and the Three Clear Daoist Sect? He didn't even mention the First Great War between Humans and Demons, the appearance of the void, and the dissipation of spiritual opportunity. "
"He didn't say these things because he didn't know either, or he knew but thought that I didn't know," Zhou Bai said, "He might even want to test if I know this part of history from the Sky Demon."
Cristina felt dizzy. It was too confusing.
Jiao Jiao and Cristina didn't know about the relevant information. Zhou Bai knew that his thoughts were blind, so he asked Li Zhengdao, "You said that it was Qingyun Zi who brought all of this. Also, about the theory about the void's response, do you have any proof? How do I know if you're lying to me? "
"Proof?" Li Zhengdao had an expression as if he already knew that Zhou Bai would ask this. He answered plainly, "Qingyun Zi's era is too far away from now. Moreover, after so many great calamities, history has been forgotten time and time again. With the lifespan of humans, it is indeed difficult to know about his deeds."
"But the Celestial Court has records about him."
As he said this, Li Zhengdao waved his hand and a small booklet flew out from the depths of Luotian Realm. It then crossed the realm gate and slowly flew to Zhou Bai, "Take a look, there's no need to thank me."
After saying this, Li Zhengdao's figure had already disappeared along with the closing of the realm gate. Only his last words remained in Zhou Bai's ears.
"One day, you will find out that we may be on the same side."
Seeing Li Zhengdao disappear, everyone still didn't dare to relax. It was really too much pressure from him.
Even Zhou Bai definitely didn't have it easy. After all, Li Zhengdao was a top existence among the four departments of the Celestial Court. His strength could completely crush ordinary cultivators.
If he didn't rely on the ability of the Nine Disasters of the Heavens to carry out various restraints, arrangements, and preparations, and if he directly faced Li Zhengdao head-on, he would probably be defeated within a minute or two.
Although in the eyes of others, Zhou Bai blocked Li Zhengdao very easily, he himself knew that blocking Li Zhengdao was already his limit. If Li Zhengdao wanted to leave, he couldn't stop him at all.
"I'm still not strong enough."
Zhou Bai thought to himself, "Many of the mechanical dependents are broken this time. I have to repair them when I get back. However, this battle implemented many of the tactics that I thought about before, and there are still many areas that can be improved. There are still many areas that can be adjusted and modified. "
It wasn't until they returned to Dong Hua City and confirmed that Li Zhengdao really wasn't there and didn't even return to Dong Hua City that they slightly relaxed. However, they still didn't dare to completely let down their guard, in case Li Zhengdao came back to attack them.
Jiao Jiao said, "There should be no problem. Since he has already lost, Li Zhengdao is not someone who pesters endlessly. I'm afraid he is now in a hurry to go back to heal his injuries and restore his cultivation."
Zhou Bai looked at his harvest this time and thought to himself, Other than the booklet that Li Zhengdao gave me at the end, there's a dragon corpse. The dragon scales on it can be used to strengthen the Ultimate Heaven Skeleton Armor.
Then there's Zhu Yan, the big monster. I haven't thought about how to use it yet.
Also … "
Zhou Bai looked at Jiao Jiao and couldn't help but swallow. The biggest harvest of this battle should be Jiao Jiao, a Jiao Jiao who didn't need to worry about the mutation for the time being.
"Five great magical powers." Zhou Bai looked at Jiao Jiao and felt that he was almost drooling.
The five great magical powers were combined into one. This time, Jiao Jiao used it, which really opened Zhou Bai's eyes.
This was an ability that could truly suppress the opponent in terms of output and even force Li Zhengdao to hide in Luotian Realm.
And now, Zhou Bai directly activated the ability of Crazy Map's fifth star point, "Unwise Sacrifice": He could use his laziness value to extract the knowledge of his dependents and turn it into his own knowledge.
Zhou Bai had once used this ability to extract the knowledge of mechanical dependents to learn Sky Demon technology.
Now, he wanted to see if Jiao Jiao could draw the five great magical powers.
In the densely packed list of various Taoist techniques and martial arts, Zhou Bai quickly found the content related to the five great magical powers.
Extracting "Ice Light Freezing Qi" required 1 million laziness value
Extracting "Taixuan Godly Thunder Breath" required 1.5 million laziness value
Extracting "Black Flame Fire Dragon Array" required 1.2 million laziness value
Extracting "Five Great Magical Powers Fusion Basic" required 5 million laziness value
"It adds up to a total of more than 8 million laziness value? I'm afraid that after my aptitude improved layer by layer, my consumption has been reduced a lot. "
During this period of time, Zhou Bai had been cultivating in the Sky Demon base. Although he had earned laziness value quickly, he had also spent it quickly. All of it had been used to increase Crazy Map's star points. At this moment, there were only a few hundred thousand laziness value left on the interface.
"However, if I go all out to sell the Sky Demon organization, I should be able to gather this laziness value very quickly. I just don't know if the Great Elder will still be my apostle at that time."
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai shook his head helplessly. "The Great Elder isn't the Mystic Maiden after all. With the blood feud between her and the Sky Demon, as long as time passes, she will eventually lose trust in me in certain aspects. This can't be helped. "
Zhou Bai understood that the requirements of being a Dependant of Lies were too harsh to begin with. It wasn't normal to have 100% trust in a relationship where every word was spoken.
Therefore, he was ready for Jiao Jiao to exit the dependant of lies state and exit the apostle state at any time, freeing up another apostle position for him.
Just as Zhou Bai was calculating the gains and losses of this battle, Jiao Jiao held the book in her hand with a complicated look in her eyes. She wanted to read it, but she didn't dare to, for fear of seeing some dark history of the Three Pure Ones.
Looking at the Heavenly Tribulation slowly dissipating in the sky, Jiao Jiao thought to herself, "We'll read this together when we get back. Now … Zhou Bai, have you thought about what to do next?"
Zhou Bai chuckled. "Just push all the blame to me first. Just say that I controlled you to attack the Immortals. Everything has nothing to do with Donghua City or the Three Pure Ones."
Jiao Jiao sighed. "That's too unfair to you."
Zhou Bai said, "There's no such thing as fairness in the world. In the eyes of the world, I've already surrendered to the Sky Demon. Compared to that, what happened today is probably nothing to most people. On the contrary, doing this can at least delay things for a few months so that the Celestial Court won't send troops to Donghua City. "
At this moment, Jiao Jiao finally couldn't help but ask, "Zhou Bai … When do you plan to come back? I don't know what method you used to make the Sky Demon listen to your orders and cooperate with you, but they are ultimately our mortal enemies. "
Zhou Bai smiled helplessly. "Don't worry, Great Elder. I know what I'm doing."
Li Xiuzhu, who was at the side, couldn't hear the conversation between Zhou Bai and Jiao Jiao. At this moment when the battle temporarily came to an end, he finally had the chance to ask the question in his heart. "Zhou Bai, is Jiao Jiao under your control now? Does she have her own consciousness? "
Looking at Li Xiuzhu, Zhou Bai felt a little helpless. This time, in order to reverse time, he had sucked away the energy of Li Xiuzhu's divination.
If it weren't for the divination being sucked away, Li Xiuzhu wouldn't have been injured so badly by Li Zhengdao.
Jiao Jiao thought to herself, Tell him that Li Xiuzhu can still be trusted for now.
Zhou Bai thought to himself. First, he said to the Empyrean Fairy, "Go back to Donghua City and help me. I need your strength."
The Empyrean Fairy nodded. Holding the Sword of the Emperor and the Ultimate Heaven Skeleton Armor, she soared into the sky and flew in the direction of Donghua City.
Feeling that it was best not to let the Empyrean Fairy know about the following conversation, Zhou Bai sent her away. Then, he said, "Jiao Jiao has her own consciousness. We can be considered to be working together now."
Jiao Jiao nodded and confirmed what Zhou Bai said. "Zhou Bai is right. He is helping me now."
After Qian Wangsun rushed over from afar and heard this, he let out a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, Fortunately, the Great Elder is fine.
Li Xiuzhu said solemnly, "Jiao Jiao, Zhou Bai, can you help the Sky-toppling Sect now? The Celestial Court has sent ten deities to besiege the Sky-toppling Sect. Our research on the mutant weapon has reached a critical moment. They urgently need your strength. "
Li Xiuzhu's original purpose in coming to Donghua City this time was to ambush and kill Li Zhengdao. Then, he would turn Jiao Jiao into a mutant weapon to save the Sky-toppling Sect.
Unfortunately, things didn't develop as he had planned. Although Donghua City was saved in the end and Li Zhengdao was defeated, Jiao Jiao obviously wouldn't be willing to use herself as a mutant weapon. It could be said that the victory here didn't alleviate the situation on the Sky-toppling Sect's side.
However, in this battle, Jiao Jiao and Zhou Bai both displayed extremely strong combat abilities. Therefore, Li Xiuzhu looked at them expectantly, hoping that they could help the Sky-toppling Sect.
However, Jiao Jiao shook her head and said helplessly, "I can't leave Donghua City too far, and I can't stay for too long. Otherwise, the mutant flesh I expelled will have problems."
Zhou Bai asked, "What's the situation on the Sky-toppling Sect's side? Have you guys succeeded in developing mutant weapons? "
Li Xiuzhu thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide it. He showed the Blood Transformation Divine Saber to everyone. "We can already use the Blood Transformation Divine Saber that we snatched from Yan Zhenjun. Next, our goal is to create a new mutated weapon."
"Relying solely on the power of the Celestial Path or the power of the demon bloodline is impossible to compete with the Celestial Court. Only by mastering mutant weapons and having more and stronger mutant weapons can we have more say. "
…
Just as Jiao Jiao, Zhou Bai, and Li Xiuzhu were discussing …
In orbit more than a hundred kilometers away, satellites were continuously scanning in the direction of Zhou Bai and the others, collecting all kinds of information on the human cultivators.
In the Sky Demon's communication network, a large amount of data was sent from the vicinity of the battlefield to the database of the Sky Demon Kings.
"It's indeed the power of the void."
"The queen is right. Zhou Bai's existence is special."
"Search for any information related to Qingyun Zi. This person's information might be very valuable."
"Let's summarize Zhou Bai's abilities and see if we can find any patterns."
At the same time, on Mars, the sandstorm that lasted for several months was still blowing above the metal base.
Densely packed machinery and metal covered an area of thousands of square kilometers, forming a complex forest-like structure.
And in the center of this metal forest, more than 300 meters underground, a young girl who looked 99% similar to the Empyrean Maiden sat on the ground, motionless. Only her lips trembled slightly from time to time, as if she was saying something.
"Weak body."
"Inefficient brain structure."
"And all kinds of signals that constantly affect my rational thinking."
"In the end, the human body is too limited."
Just as the young girl was lamenting about how bad her body was, there was a flash of light, and the head of an old man appeared in front of the young girl.
If Zhou Bai was here, he might immediately recognize the old man on the screen in front of him as one of the two pillars of the Celestial Court, the master of Myriad Immortal Island, the Highest Heavenly Lord.
"Bo Xun, what's the situation? Have you considered my proposal? "
