Chapter 1018

"Primogenitor Devil?" Qi Zhengyan frowned slightly. He seemed to have an inexplicable fear of it, which was equivalent to the incarnation of the Demonworld Fragment.

Jiang Zhiwei was stunned at first, then nodded thoughtfully. "Even if Primogenitor Devil doesn't completely wake up, I'm afraid it's not a match for ordinary Exterior masters. If it's a task from the Myths or the Immortals, it'll be quite difficult."

Zhao Heng looked solemn. "Buddhist Monk Jiuzhen is probably at the level of Dharmakaya, which means that Primogenitor Devil was no weaker than him at its peak. Even if it was seriously injured by the Nirvana Palm and didn't completely wake up, its strength is probably close to that of a grandmaster. At least the Myths or the Immortals have Peerless Master Pros involved. We must be careful."

With that in mind, he and the others had to keep a low profile and avoid getting involved in side tasks. Otherwise, they would die without a burial place. The "Thunder God from the Ninth Heaven" had only been at the Second or Third-fold Heaven of the Exterior, but he had already annihilated his neat and intact team. Only he had survived.

"We may not be able to avoid it …" Ruan Yushu said coldly.

"Yes." Mengqi nodded heavily. "If their task is to kill Primogenitor Devil, they must go deep into the Demonworld Fragment. In other words, they must use the passage in the Skyscraping Palace to prevent others from destroying it. Otherwise, the task will fail in advance. If so, our task will be difficult. If we are too early, they won't have entered the Demonworld. If we are too late, the deadline will come."

"No, I feel that the task has become very strange." Jiang Zhiwei pursed her lips and denied Meng Qi's speculation. "If I were them, I wouldn't deliberately guard the passage unless I had a lot of manpower. I would only take advantage of Skyscraping True Devil's absence to kill the rest of the demons and keep the Demonic Crystal in my hands. In this way, others can't blow it up even if they want to."

"As for us, we either go deep into the Demonworld to find other powerful demons and kill them for their Demonic Crystal, or we have to collect items and complete side tasks to accumulate enough Karma points for deduction."

In fact, even if Mengqi and the others returned now, they wouldn't be killed because they didn't have enough Karma points. The Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms would first convert their weapons and elixirs into Karma points for deduction. However, in this case, conversion was very cheap. Mengqi's belongings added up to a thousand Karma points at most.

Meng Qi sucked in a breath of cold air when he heard Jiang Zhiwei's hypothesis. If the other party was powerful and the task was true, it was highly likely that they would do so!

Jiang Zhiwei handled matters like a sword. She had always been strong and direct. It was easier for her to predict the actions of powerful people.

"Normally, if the two teams of Samsara travelers aren't in conflict with each other, their missions shouldn't be so conflicting. This directly increases the difficulty of our mission …" Zhao Heng was rather puzzled.

Meng Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps it was thanks to them that we could successfully kill the Three Devils. Otherwise, why would we suddenly look for the Fate-protecting Trigram? "Let's go to Tian Tian Palace first. If we don't see the rest of the demons, we can enter the Demonworld and kill other powerful demons. Hopefully, we can leave before Primogenitor Devil wakes up."

"Let's go to Tian Palace first. If we don't see the rest of the demons, we can enter the Demonworld directly and kill other powerful demons. Hopefully, we can leave before Primogenitor Devil wakes up."

They only needed to kill three more demons. It would be relatively fast!

"That's the only way. If it doesn't work, we'll just fail." Zhao Heng once again showed the aura of a rich man that Mengqi couldn't look at directly.

"You still have other choices." Suddenly, a faint female voice came into their ears.

"Someone is approaching without my sensing?"

Meng Qi was shocked and stunned at the same time. He forced himself to calm down and looked sideways. He saw a woman in a cyan dress slowly walking into the forest from the edge. She wore a mask on her face. Her temperament seemed to be elegant, like flowing water and flame, but also calm, like a mountain or a giant tree.

The base of the mask was green, and it was painted with a delicate and lively female face. There was a dot of green sand between the eyebrows.

"Bluecloud Progenitor?" Zhao Heng asked in a low voice.

This mask could be seen in many dramas. It belonged to a famous female immortal of Taoism, Bluecloud Progenitor!

"She's from the Immortals?" Mengqi, Jiang Zhiwei, and the others exchanged glances.

The woman stopped 10 feet away from Mengqi and the others. She didn't rush forward to avoid making them feel uneasy. Her breath was a little unstable as if she had suffered a serious injury.

"I'm Bluecloud Progenitor from the Immortals." She went straight to the point.

"May I know why you're here?" Mengqi asked. He thought to himself, "Could she be the one who took the Fate-protecting Cauldron?"

"Did she follow us all the way from the ruins of the Temple of Eternal Spring?"

"She's obviously an Exterior expert. What's her purpose?"

"Other than going deep into the Demonworld, you have other choices." Bluecloud Progenitor's tone was neither fast nor slow. "The one who took the Fate-protecting Cauldron from the Temple of Eternal Spring was the Matriarch of the West from the Myths."

"Where did the Myths come from?" Mengqi frowned. "Could it be their confrontation task?"

Bluecloud Progenitor continued, "At that time, other than the Matriarch of the West, there was also the Star of Northern Dipper. He was the one who injured me. But if it weren't for the fact that I might be coveting something, the Star of Northern Dipper and the Matriarch of the West would most likely attack you. For them, the fewer variables, the better."

Mengqi didn't expect to be in such a dangerous situation. He felt that this task was increasingly strange. He and the others had done nothing but brushed shoulders with death. Even the main task had become difficult …

"Their task is to eliminate Primogenitor Devil?" Mengqi asked directly.

It seemed that Bluecloud Progenitor had indeed been following them since the ruins. Her concealment skill was really good!

"To be precise, it's our task. They obtained some information and forcibly gathered a few members. They used the Samsara talisman to break in and compete with us for the Fate-protecting Three Treasures. With this, they can go deep into the Demonworld and suppress Primogenitor Devil." Bluecloud Progenitor explained briefly.

"What information?" Zhao Heng asked with concern.

In the World of Samsara, a piece of information was often worth tens of thousands of gold coins. It could even save oneself from a desperate situation.

Bluecloud Progenitor didn't answer directly. Instead, she said, "The Myths have sent Xi, the Star of Northern Dipper, the Military Star, and the Matriarch of the West. Except for the Matriarch of the West, who is a newcomer, the other three are genuine veterans. Xi, in particular, is the closest to a grandmaster."

"Xi" was the name of a certain Divine Emperor from the ancient times.

"On our side, there are me, Primogenitor Guangcheng, and Yun Zhongzi who came to complete this task. We're slightly inferior to them, so we don't have enough manpower. That's why we want to cooperate with you." She introduced the strength of both sides.

Primogenitor Guangcheng, also known as Guangchengzi, was one of the Nine Primogenitors of Taoism. Mengqi had long heard of him and was no longer surprised. However, the Taoist name "Yun Zhongzi" had never been recorded in the Immortals. He had only read about it in an ancient novel in his previous life.

Thus, he asked calmly, "I've heard that the Immortals are named after ancient immortals. Why have I never heard of 'Yun Zhongzi'?"

As he spoke, he noticed the reactions of Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu, and the others. They all nodded slightly, indicating that they had never heard of it.

Bluecloud Progenitor said lightly, "There are countless ancient immortals. How can we know all of them?"

Hearing such a perfunctory answer, Mengqi's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know whether to be happy or shocked. Could there be an Apotheosized World?

Did Yang Erlang have one? Did Eminence Tongtian have one?

As for the Heavenly Primogenitor, needless to say, the top three of the Nine Primogenitors of Taoism in the main world were the Heavenly Primogenitor, the Primogenitor Dao De, and the Primogenitor Ling Bao.

"I see." Mengqi pretended to be enlightened. "How do you want to cooperate, Progenitor? Why did 'The Myths' force their way in? If they keep us in the dark, I'm afraid it won't be beneficial for us to cooperate. "

Bluecloud Progenitor coughed softly, showing that she hadn't recovered from her injury. "If the news hadn't come so suddenly, we wouldn't have only three members to complete the task, and 'The Myths' wouldn't have only recruited four official members. This is a matter of great importance. Please swear a Soul-pledging Oath not to leak it."

She wasn't worried that Mengqi and the others would benefit greatly from it. Their strength meant that they couldn't meddle in the core matters.

Mengqi and the others discussed for a while and felt that it was acceptable as long as they didn't leak the news. Thus, they all swore Soul-pledging Oath.

"It's because of 'The Myths' that the difficulty of your main task has changed. If it were just us, as long as you're willing to wait, we'll leave the Demonic Crystal before entering the Demonic Realm." Bluecloud Progenitor spouted nonsense to make Mengqi and the others share a common enemy with her. After all, they had entered the Demonic Realm and didn't intend to leave normally. "And the reason why they spent so much money to break in is because they received news about Buddhist Monk Jiuzhen."

Mengqi, Jiang Zhiwei, and the others held their breath. To force the Myths to assemble and use up four Samsara Talismans, they must be plotting something big!

"If there's enough time, grandmasters such as' Tung Wang Kung 'and' Crape Myrtle Star 'of the Myths, and even the mysterious' Heaven Sovereign 'will come for this news." Bluecloud Progenitor kept them in suspense again.

"If 'Tung Wang Kung' can't come, he's long dead …" Mengqi and Jiang Zhiwei looked at each other and thought to themselves.

Bluecloud Progenitor's voice became solemn. "Buddhist Monk Jiuzhen once had a fortuitous encounter and comprehended a peerless Zen art. He used it to prove his Dharmakaya. Later, he went deep into the Demonic Realm with the items he obtained from the fortuitous encounter. He suppressed Primogenitor Devil and died there."

"We know this …" Mengqi was very interested. He only hated that Bluecloud Progenitor didn't finish the story in one breath.

"According to the news, it should be …" Bluecloud Progenitor paused. Her voice was so quiet that it only reverberated around them.

"The first move of The Buddha's Palm!"
