After leaving the Stellar Peak, Wang Lu returned to Non-Phase Peak to rest for two days, and then set foot on the road to Plentiful City.
Regarding the issue of time going back, Feng Yin Daoist Master did not give a definite answer. Whether the group of immortal tombs really had the ability to go back in time was still an unsolved mystery.
First of all, as far as Feng Yin Daoist Master knew, so far, only Wang Lu had really triggered such an earth-shattering vision. As for other people, although there were also individual strong people who could perfectly pass the immortal dream land and even trigger the hidden plot, most of them found it difficult to complete the hidden plot. Secondly, even if they did complete it, it did not involve going back in time.
According to the analysis of Feng Yin Daoist Master, the main reason was that the progress of the group of immortal tombs was not enough. The immortal dream land that could produce the time going back in time was not everywhere in the group of immortal tombs. It must meet specific conditions. And the number of samples was too small, so it was difficult to make a reliable inference.
Secondly, in theory, going back in time was not completely impossible. Although the limit of Immortal Qin's ability was the Immortal Tea, at the time of the decisive battle, he was only a Supreme and had not ascended to immortality. Moreover, the Immortal Tea was an immortal method that he could release alone, while the group of immortal tombs was painstakingly built by the Dixian people using the Feng Shui line of Nine Regions as the foundation, which was a magnificent miracle that had never been recorded in any historical records. Thus, its power was likely to have undergone a qualitative change.
Finally, although the current theory could not explain the time going back and the causal chaos that it brought, a qualified academic researcher must first learn to respect the objective facts. And at present, there was no clear evidence to support or falsify the time going back. The only thing that could provide further evidence was the Heavenly Silk Headscarf left in Peach Garden Village. The appraisal result of Yin and Yang School would greatly affect the conjecture of going back in time.
However, it had been a few days since Tiandao Lan and the others returned to their sect, during which there was no new news. Obviously, things had changed.
But this matter had already exceeded the scope of the disciples, so the Elders of the Heavenly Sword Hall had taken over the investigation. As for Wang Lu, his task was to clear the 36 chains as soon as possible, so he immediately returned to Plentiful City.
For the next month, Wang Lu devoted all his energy to the immortal dream land, and the result of a professional's wholehearted devotion was that the Lingjian School originally lacked three lines of eighteen rings, but in one breath, he had broken through fourteen rings. Together with the two rings of Peach Blossom Village and Cloud Country, he was only two rings away from success.
However, in these 14 rings, there were no more space-time reversals. Even the hidden storyline was only triggered three times.
It was not that Wang Lu was incompetent, but some immortal dreamlands did not have a hidden plot, and Wang Lu's conditions could not meet the requirements to trigger it. According to the information he got from the map of the group of immortal tombs, some immortal dreamlands had harsh requirements for the gender and other conditions of the cultivator. Thus, it was impossible for Wang Lu to clear all the hidden storylines.
However, the most important thing right now was not these hidden plots. Just as he was missing the last two links, Shengjing Sect's Fairy Qiong Hua had already led her team to break through the most time-consuming link. Not to mention the countless rare treasures, the key point was that she was only missing the last two links, which would be the same progress as him.
And considering that the last ring of the thirty-six chains would be an unprecedented comprehensive, the main force would definitely be the Elder level cultivators of the various sects, while the disciples would at most play the role of bystanders. Thus, whether it was Qiong Hua or Wang Lu, they would really shine in the penultimate ring.
At this time, the progress of both sides was the same, which was a good opportunity for a fair competition. As a matter of fact, this was what made Wang Lu eager to try. In the penultimate ring, he was ready to go all out to defeat Qiong Hua and open the final ring one step ahead of the opponent.
Wang Lu had no hostility toward Qiong Hua. The two of them had basically never dealt with each other before, so naturally, there was no hatred between them. As for his reputation, in the past year, Qiong Hua had indeed shone brilliantly, overshadowing the other several lead disciples of the other sects. However, Wang Lu's one month of crazy strategy had also earned him a lot of points. Especially when Tiandao Lan and the other Yin and Yang School girls spread the news about him clearing the hidden storylines, which made Wang Lu even more legendary. He was already vaguely on par with Qiong Hua, the Daoist Master King Pill, and was in no way inferior.
Let alone Wang Lu didn't care about the reputation. What he cared about was the attitude of his sect. Although the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders didn't explicitly say it, they were very concerned about the progress of the thirty-six chains. Obviously, this matter was very important. Perhaps after the thirty-six chains, there was a deeper level of competition. For example, there was a lucrative immortal dream land, but only the first person to complete the thirty-six chains would be eligible to enter. Or perhaps, in the Excavation Management, the seat of Lingjian School had been challenged. In short, the sect needed to increase its own weight, and Wang Lu was the key figure to win the chips for the sect.
As for the last chain, Wang Lu still intended to fight alone. The Elders had asked him if he needed the help of Zhu Shiyao, Liu Li, Bai Shixuan, and the others, but Wang Lu had refused.
Judging from the map in his hand, the complexity of the structure of this chain was far beyond the previous Peach Garden Village and other immortal dream lands. It was an out-and-out big scene. In this kind of scene, the test for the cultivator would be exceptionally harsh.
The harshness was not that the single difficulty would be high — for example, to send a Deity Stage opponent to a Peak Xudan Stage cultivator. Instead, it referred to the unusually large number of test items in the complex scene, which involved a very wide range. In this case, whether a cultivator's ability was comprehensive or not was far more important than whether a certain ability was outstanding or not. It was undeniable that Zhu Shiyao and Liu Li were rare geniuses in the immortal path. In a one on one fight, even Wang Lu didn't have a 100% chance of winning — especially in the face of his Senior Sister Zhu Shiyao, it would be good if he didn't lose. However, Wang Lu believed that if they were thrown into the complex situation of the immortal dream land, it would basically be a double kill.
Whether it was Zhu Shiyao or Liu Li, they didn't have the ability to adapt to the complex environment. If it was an ordinary immortal dream land, perhaps it would be tailored to design a simple and crude level that would allow them to crush all the way through. However, in a complex scene, it would not be so humane. Once it involved intelligence, Wang Lu had no doubt that they would be crushed until not even their bones would be left.
As for Wang Lu himself, his solo ability was indeed very strong, but once there were too many participants, he could not perfectly control the scene. If there was an accident, he could not afford to bear the responsibility. Therefore, instead of regretting when there was a problem, it was better to nip it in the bud.
Of course, seriously speaking, among the several candidates proposed by the Elders, Bai Shixuan was a good choice. With her King Pill cultivation base, auxiliary specialty, as well as wisdom and cleverness that were far above the standard. At any time, she would not be the most dazzling one, but at any time, she could be an excellent help.
Unfortunately, right now, Wang Lu could bring anyone except for Little Bai. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he still chose to be alone.
—
In view of the upcoming unprecedented test, Wang Lu didn't dare to be careless. He spent a whole day in Plentiful City to purchase. As for the expenses, they were all reimbursed by the sect — this was the treatment that his Master Wang Wu had been dreaming of for many years. And Wang Lu was also impolite. He purchased all the talismans and props that might be used in his current stage, even in the early stage of King Pill, just in case.
As for how crazy his Sixth Uncle Lu Li would be after he sent back the bill, for the time being, Wang Lu did not consider it. Moreover, carefully speaking, no matter how much Wang Lu spent, it was impossible for him to compete with Qiong Hua's team. Shengjing Sect's all-out investment in Qiong Hua was enough to shock any other sect. That local tyrant's flash of brilliance had blinded many people's eyes. To seriously compete with such a team, Wang Lu must come up with one hundred percent of his ability.
After purchasing the last magical treasure, Wang Lu didn't waste time and went straight to the entrance of the group of immortal tombs.
Along the way, many people in Plentiful City cast their attention on him, which was accompanied by the sound of discussion. At this time, Wang Lu was no longer the same as before. He had a certain reputation in the entire immortal cultivation world of Nine Regions. Although because his stage was not yet at the early stage of King Pill, his reputation was limited, almost everyone in Plentiful City knew about him. His every move and action in the city could attract the attention of the people. He was a veritable celebrity.
Regarding this, Wang Lu didn't enjoy or dislike it. He never liked undeserved fame, and other people's admiration and envy were meaningless to him. Moreover, as a member of the Management Committee of Plentiful City, in any case, he would not be harassed by these ordinary cultivators.
It was just that, while walking on the road, Wang Lu always felt that today's crowd seemed to be particularly dense and particularly enthusiastic … Did they all know that he was about to start a big operation, so they specifically came to cheer for him? That shouldn't be the case. The thirty-six chain strategy of Shengjing Sect, Royal Soldier Sect, and Lingjian School were all top-secret information in the Management Committee, so it was unlikely that everyone knew about it, right?
However, when Wang Lu was about to reach the entrance of the group of immortal tombs, he found out that this was really a big misunderstanding.
In Plentiful City, there was a large array jointly laid by several Elders, which could isolate most of the perception of ordinary cultivators, making most of the people in the city like mortals. In this way, privacy could be better protected. Under the effect of this array, Wang Lu didn't hear the content of the people's discussion and cheers.
At this time, when he was close to the entrance of the group of immortal tombs, he finally heard the cultivators' cheers that were no longer concealed.
"Qiong Hua! Qiong Hua! Qiong Hua! "
"Qiong Hua Fairy, we will always support you!"
"Qiong Hua will win!"
"Sister Qiong Hua, I will also give you a child!"
Wang Lu turned around and saw that not far behind him, the team of Shengjing Sect was like a rainbow, shining with golden light. Compared with them, his celebrity character was simply dull.
This psychological contrast was so strong that for a moment, Wang Lu actually froze in place without moving.
Qiong Hua walked at the front of the team. When she saw Wang Lu, she smiled.
"Long time no see."
