Yun Aotian, Ji Huan, Situ Xiao, and Cang Lei all felt a little helpless. Miao Yi was always ahead of them, and it wasn't a good feeling, especially when Miao Yi struck them with such a lightning-fast blow. Their years of hard work in the Purgatory almost went up in smoke.
Mu Fanjun seemed to understand something. She felt a little indignant, but she had to accept reality.
In fact, they were all very realistic people. A momentary setback wouldn't discourage them. To be able to go from a small world to a Paragon, and then to a higher world to where they were today, they had experienced countless hardships and setbacks. They were the cream of the crop, and their mental fortitude was unquestionable. They wouldn't be intimidated by a mere setback.
In fact, the reason they targeted White Phoenix this time was because they wanted to use the Transcendence Bow as an opportunity to infiltrate the outside forces of the Five Paths. Once they benefited, they would naturally have a reason to do so next time. As long as they could create an opening in the outside forces, they would have a way to slowly control them.
To put it bluntly, they were after Miao Yi's Six Great Mystic Arts. They knew that the Six Great Mystic Arts were the true foundation of their control over the Six Paths. Only when they could use the outside forces would they have a way to force Miao Yi to submit. Otherwise, Miao Yi couldn't do anything to the Immeasurable Dao in the Purgatory, and he couldn't control it from the outside either. They could only rely on the outside forces of the Five Paths.
Who would've thought that Miao Yi would see through their intentions and strike them with such a lightning-fast blow, almost turning all their hard work in the Purgatory into nothing. This was a blatant warning.
However, to a certain extent, Miao Yi had gone easy on them. That was because Miao Yi had the strength to do so. If he truly wanted to destroy them, this would be a perfect opportunity. However, Miao Yi didn't do so. They didn't think that Miao Yi was a pushover. Instead, they thought that Miao Yi was sending them a clear signal. If he really had the Six Great Mystic Arts, he would give it to them sooner or later.
At their level, it wasn't hard to understand this logic. Once the Six Paths left the Purgatory, the five of them, or even Miao Yi, wouldn't be able to control it. When that happened, no one in the world would be able to control it. The remnants of the Six Paths didn't even care about the Heavenly Court, so why would they care about them? They were only forced by the situation. So, while the Six Paths was suppressed here, it was necessary to take control of him in time.
Furthermore, the strength Miao Yi displayed proved that he had the ability to open the Gates of Purgatory in the future and release the remnants of the Six Paths. If it was him, if he couldn't control the power of the Six Paths Evil Remnant, would he still release the Six Paths Evil Remnant? The answer was no. He would rather seal the remnants of the Six Paths in Purgatory forever.
In that case, the reason why Miao Yi didn't seize the opportunity to destroy them was simple. If he wanted them to help him control the Six Paths of Reincarnation's power, he would have to hand over the Six Great Mystic Arts to them sooner or later. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to control them properly. In terms of ability, Miao Yi could only choose the five of them in the Purgatory. Only the five of them had the ability to do so, and they had plenty of experience in this area.
Why didn't Miao Yi just pick the Six Great Mystic Arts from the Samsara and hand them over? Why did he choose them? The reason was simple. Miao Yi needed time to grow. At the moment, his personal strength was still too weak. Choosing the five of them would allow him to grow together. If he handed over the Six Great Mystic Arts to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Then the Samsara wouldn't have to wait for the future. It would go out of control now.
That was why Miao Yi needed a group of people who would grow with him. The five of them were the best choice to help him control the remnants of the Six Paths. Only by controlling the power of the Six Paths would he be able to restrain the remnants of the Six Paths after they left Purgatory. Otherwise, regardless of whether Miao Yi handed over the Six Great Mystic Arts to the Six Paths now or in the future, he wouldn't be able to control them. Even if it was the Lord Buddha or Lord Green, they wouldn't be able to make them submit so easily. No one in this world could easily control this power.
To put it plainly. They wanted to turn the remnants of the Six Paths into their own forces. What did the grudges of the remnants of the Six Paths have anything to do with them? They couldn't allow the remnants of the Six Paths to act recklessly just for the sake of their old grudges. They could only act under the Six Paths' control. On this point, whether it was Miao Yi or the five of them, all of them were in conflict with the Six Paths' current beliefs. Miao Yi and the five of them definitely shared the same standpoint and interests.
After learning this lesson, the five of them felt a sense of crisis. They knew what their current focus was. The mess outside had nothing to do with them for now. Once the Gates of Hell opened, the biggest problem would be if they couldn't control the five of them.
Perhaps even Miao Yi himself didn't know. He only wanted to teach them a lesson, but he gave the five of them such a clear signal.
At this time, Jin Man and the others were still immersed in that indescribable helplessness. That person could guide the forces of the Celestial Court to destroy them from the inside, and there was an unknown force outside that could wipe out their external forces. It was simply impossible to resist.
However, Jin Man and the others were still secretly glad. They were glad that the Immeasurable Path didn't join forces with the other five paths to do that. Otherwise, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.
They didn't participate because they had more concerns than the other five paths. That Celestial Court's spy had more contact with them because of Miao Yi.
After pondering for a while, Jin Man also understood what they meant. She said, "Since the Holy Lord didn't do anything to the shops in Heaven Street, and even gave them the Dharma Breaker Bow, he must have the intention of being merciful. He probably won't do anything again."
Zhangsun Ju sighed. "Perhaps it's because it's inconvenient to make a move on Heaven Street. Just in case, I'll have to trouble you to ask for a favor. The Six Paths can't afford an internal conflict right now."
Yun Aotian and the others, who had been silent all this while, knew full well that Miao Yi had sent Yun Zhiqiu and the others away because he wanted to make a move on the shops in Heaven Street. He had only let them go because of Yun Zhiqiu and the others. Of course, they wouldn't reveal the relationship between Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu and the others. Some secrets couldn't be revealed so easily, just like how the Six Paths didn't want to reveal everything about the outside forces. If the Six Paths hadn't mentioned it himself, they wouldn't have known that their secret stronghold had been attacked.
Since everyone had come looking for her, Jin Man couldn't refuse. She could only take out the Star Bell and contact Miao Yi.
When Miao Yi found out, he cursed, "Eight million Dharma Breaker Bows are gone just like that! Jin Man, tell those bastards to stop playing tricks behind my back! "
After cursing him, he was in a good mood. He realized that the Skytraversing Palace was quite impressive. It probably knew all ten of the Five Paths' strongholds and scared the crap out of them.
He still didn't know how much damage he had caused to the Five Paths.
It wasn't until a few days later that Yun Aotian had Yun Zhiqiu contact Miao Yi to express his apology and reconciliation that Miao Yi was shocked. The Skytraversing Palace had actually wiped out a tenth of the Five Paths' forces in one fell swoop!
He knew the Skytraversing Palace was powerful, but he didn't expect it to be this powerful!
Of course. Yun Zhiqiu didn't plead for mercy. She simply conveyed Yun Aotian's message to Miao Yi and didn't say anything else.
Yun Zhiqiu wasn't the only one who contacted him. Even Ji Meili and the others were forced by their sects to plead for mercy.
Ji Meili was the type of person who wouldn't speak softly to Miao Yi. She was also forced to say things like, "Husband, take care of yourself and wait for your return."
Miao Yi was amused. He could imagine how Ji Meili must have felt when she said something like that.
Yun Aotian and the others obviously didn't have a motive for asking the girls to plead for mercy. They only wanted to ease the tension between the girls and Miao Yi. After getting Miao Yi's permission to let the matter go for now, the five old men personally made a move. They hadn't contacted Miao Yi in a long time, and now they were doing it again.
Some things were just speculations, but they still wanted to confirm it.
It could be seen as a sign of submission, or a negotiation. The five of them expressed their willingness to submit to Miao Yi and help him control the Five Paths. However, the condition was that Miao Yi promised to give them the six great mystic arts once he found them.
Miao Yi had already experienced what kind of people those five old men were. There was no way they would sincerely submit to him. They only wanted to use him to obtain the six great mystic arts. However, the five old men's intentions reminded Miao Yi of something. It wasn't a bad idea to do so. As long as he could control the six great mystic arts, he could force the five old men to submit to him temporarily. Yun Zhiqiu had already said that he could use the six great mystic arts to control them. The six great mystic arts were practically a gift to him to control the five old men. Why wouldn't he use it?
As for whether or not the five old men would turn on him in the future, that was a matter for the future. As long as he maintained his lead, he wouldn't have to worry about them turning on him in the future. At the very least, he would be able to borrow the power of the Six Paths before he turned on them. It would provide him with a certain level of protection while he was still weak. The Six Paths should still have quite a bit of influence in the outside world that he could make use of.
After some thought, Miao Yi felt that it was feasible. However, he still contacted Yun Zhiqiu to discuss the matter.
Yun Zhiqiu agreed. She already had the intention to do so, but she still had her doubts. She was worried that her grandfather and the others wouldn't be able to control them, and that they would end up shooting themselves in the foot. However, Miao Yi wasn't worried at all, so she didn't mind.
After the matter was settled, Yun Zhiqiu asked, 'Should we give them the Earth section of the six great mystic arts now?'
Miao Yi: 'Not now. We'll talk about it after I return from the Primordial Wastelands. When that time comes, I will personally make a trip to Purgatory. I can't just let them ask. I'll obediently give them the items. '
Yun Zhiqiu: 'I understand.'
Miao Yi: 'Also, your grandfather and the others have reminded me. I've been away for a long time, and the Boundless Path has been too lax. Later, send someone to the small world to transfer Lan Hou here. I'll have Jin Man hand over a shop in Celestial Street for him to manage.'
Yun Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment, then replied, 'Instead of transferring Lan Hou, why don't you transfer Zhang Tianxiao here as well? The two of them have a grudge against each other.'
Miao Yi understood what Yun Zhiqiu meant. He wanted to balance things out and have the two of them supervise each other. Otherwise, he was afraid that things would go out of control when they came to the outside world. Miao Yi agreed. 'Also, there's Yang Qing. When I return, I plan to send him to Purgatory so that he can directly interfere with Jin Man's affairs and deal with your grandfather and the others.'
Yun Zhiqiu hesitated again. 'Yang Qing's ability is the most suitable choice. However, you know what kind of person Yang Qing is. Have you thought about the consequences once he gains power? I'm afraid even my grandfather and the others won't be able to control him. '
Miao Yi naturally knew how terrifying Yang Qing was. He replied, 'Yang Qing's ability can't be fully utilized in a place like the Left Supervisory Warden. It's a pity that he's just a decoration. He'll be more useful in Purgatory. If he really dares to act recklessly, I don't believe I can't take care of him. Besides, didn't you say that he would take Weiwei into consideration?
In the past, he indeed wouldn't dare to relax his control over Yang Qing. However, after witnessing the might of the Skyline Palace, he felt a little more confident.
