Chapter 1956: What's The Big Deal?

Chapter 1903: What’s The Big Deal?

Xue Laogui was facing a dilemma. Kui Luo had just helped to block Yao Di’s attack, but the man was also an enemy of the Sixth Mainland himself! If this was revealed and the old man teamed up with Yao Di, Xue Laogui and Herb Immortal were doomed.

Xue Laogui remained silent for a long time.

Kui Luo glanced at Xue Laogui, Herb Immortal, and Yao Di, and he also remained silent. The battlefield in the Primal Zone battlefield had grown eerily quiet.

Yao Di’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Kui Luo. “Are you from the Sixth Mainland?”

Kui Luo shook his head.

Yao Di frowned. “The Human Domain?”

Kui Luo shook his head again.

Yao Di frowned, and he growled, “It doesn’t matter who you are! This war ends here!”

Faced with three Semi-Progenitors, he no longer tried to demand the Sixth Mainland’s forces withdraw from the Primal Zone. An unfathomable powerhouse had appeared, and Yao Di had no confidence that he would be able to threaten the humans any longer.

Kui Luo quickly spoke up, “Don’t stop. This war is entirely your business and it has nothing to do with me. I was just passing by, so please, continue.”

After speaking, he stepped into the void and shot back towards Ironblood Weave.

Xue Laogui instinctively wanted to give chase, but Herb Immortal quickly stopped him. “Xue Laogui, do you want to watch as I die?”

Xue Laogui hesitated, and his cold gaze swept past Herb Immortal and eventually stopped on Yao Di. If Herb Immortal was abandoned at this moment, then not only Herb Immortal, but everyone from the Sixth Mainland would be condemned to die. Yao Di would be unstoppable. Still, capturing that old man remained the top priority.

Xue Laogui stared at the Celestial Demon Emperor intently for a moment before agreeing. “The war ends here.”

Yao Di sneered inwardly. He was able to tell that the old man from before was not from the Sixth Mainland, and that he even held a grudge against them. “It can end after you pull out of the Primal Zone.”

Xue Laogui’s eyes grew cold. He was just about to agree, but he suddenly paused and glanced back at the Cloud Valley Master. The man had just sent a voice transmission to Xue Laogui, insisting that they could not abandon the Primal Zone, at least for the moment.

The fighting between Ironblood Weave and the Primal Zone would never end. The war that Yao Di was saying needed to end was not the end of the fighting between the Sixth Mainland and the Astral Beast Domain, but merely the end of the Astral Beast Domain’s invasion of the Outerverse. After the Semi-Progenitors left, the fighting in Ironblood Weave would continue, and the Astral Beast Domain would continue to attempt an invasion.

Yao Di had only shown up to stop the current battle, not end all wars.

In fact, his primary objective for appearing in the Primal Zone at this moment was to conceal the return of the invasion force.

The horde of astral beasts that had fled after invading the Outerverse had escaped into the Astral Wilderness in order to return to the Astral Beast Domain, and the last section of their journey would see them pass through the Primal Zone. The survival of the returning astral beasts would be determined by whoever controlled the Primal Zone.

This was what controlling the Primal Zone meant at this time, and it was also the only reason Herb Immortal had taken just a risk for the control of the territory.

Yao Di had appeared in order to rendezvous with Xu Qing’s returning astral beasts and escort them into the Astral Beast Domain.

That horde of astral beasts was too powerful a force, and the loss of such numbers and powerhouses would see the Astral Beast Domain’s strength drop by nearly half. As long as those beasts were all eliminated, Ironblood Weave would remain safe for the foreseeable future.

The Sixth Mainland had no intention of simply remaining in the Outerverse forever. Their goal had always been the entire Fifth Mainland, and despite setbacks like the Progenitor of Secret Arts’ betrayal which had lowered the strength of the entire Sixth Mainland, their self-confidence was quickly being regained.

They would definitely have to fight against the Hall of Honor in the future, and they could not do so with the threat of an invasion appearing through Ironblood Weave. The Sixth Mainland needed this peace of mind for the sake of their future endeavors. This was simply too important to ignore.

This was a matter that could determine the success of the goals of the entire Sixth Mainland. This was why they could not abandon the Primal Zone. If they retreated at this time, the least that they had to ensure was that they gained some advantage over the Astral Beast Domain by utilizing Xu Qing’s horde of astral beasts. If they could not even do that, the Sixth Mainland would end up as nothing more than a tool that had been used throughout the entire war. Not only had they been invaded by the Astral Beast Domain, they would also lose a region of their territory.

While Xue Laogui hesitated, Kui Luo completely disappeared. Xue Laogui would no longer be able to catch up no matter how hard he tried.

“This war is over. Leave the Primal Zone now, or else you will never be able to leave this place alive,” Yao Di threatened while staring straight at Xue Laogui.

Xue Laogui and Herb Immortal looked at each other. “Can we stop him if we cooperate?”

“We can at least try. As long as we can keep the Celestial Demon Empire here for a while, our Sixth Mainland will be able to grab Xu Qing’s horde,” Herb Immortal suggested.

“Alright,” Xue Laogui replied and looked back at Yao Di. “I’ve heard that the Celestial Demons are powerful, and I hope to see how true those claims are.”

White lava appeared throughout the surroundings, an Herb Immortal simultaneously attacked. His medicinal cauldron reappeared and it coordinated with the white lava to smash into Yao Di.

Yao Di contemptuously said, “You’ve both chosen death.”

A fight between Semi-Progenitors would shatter the universe, and Qing Hua and others continuously fled back.

Further away, Lu Yin completely left the Primal Zone and pulled up his gadget to call Kui Luo, but failed to do so even after multiple attempts.

All Lu Yin could do was reach out to Shui Chuanxiao for the time being and give him orders to have the Great Eastern Alliance’s fleet withdraw from Northcastle Weave and make their way into the asteroid field. The fighting had already reached the critical point, and the fate of the eastern weaves hung in the balance.

Although the Cloud Valley Master and the other powerhouses from the Sixth Mainland had all been very polite to Lu Yin. They had not demanded that the eastern weaves be returned to the Sixth Mainland’s control, and though everything had looked to be going smoothly, Lu Yin could not relax. He continued to feel that there was something outside of his control, and so he was determined to stick to his original plan.

“Hey, what a coincidence,” Kui Luo spoke up from behind Lu Yin.

The Second Nightking whirled around, startled. Unlike when Herb Immortal had approached, the Second Nightking had not been able to sense anything at all when Kui Luo had been nearby.

Lu Yin was also startled, and when he looked at Kui Luo, he muttered, “Would it kill you to show up like a normal person?”

“Why? You do something you should be feeling guilty about? What are you so afraid of?” Kui Luo casually asked.

Lu Yin pursed his lips. “Where’ve you been?”

Kui Luo replied, “I was being chased, which left me with no choice but to lure that guy over here. I showed up just in time to see a Celestial Demon Semi-Progenitor attacking, and I couldn’t resist getting involved, so I saved one of the Sixth Mainland’s Semi-Progenitor while I was there.”

“Herb Immortal?” Lu Yin was surprised.

“No idea. He still hasn’t opened his three meridian points, and he’s too weak. If not for me stepping in, he would’ve died,” Kui Luo said.

Lu Yin asked, “Is Yao Di that powerful?”

Kui Luo nodded. “Very powerful. No matter what, he’s a Celestial Demon, and that species was considered very powerful even back in the ancient Fourth Mainland. There were records about them in your Lu family’s ancient texts. They’ve had Progenitors of their own before.”

Lu Yin frowned. “It doesn’t sound like Herb Immortal will be able to stay alive without you.”

Kui Luo just rolled his eyes. “That’s not my business. He’s not my kid.”

Kui Luo suddenly hesitated and looked to the south. “It’s getting quite busy here. Another Semi-Progenitor just showed up.”

Lu Yin was taken aback by this. “Another Semi-Progenitor? Who?”

“Some woman. She’s quite fetching and doesn’t seem very old,” Kui Luo replied.

Lu Yin immediately knew this person was Lan Xian. She was the Sixth Mainland’s true plan for dealing with Yao Di. Xue Laogui’s appearance had been nothing more than a coincidence. The original plan had been for Lan Xian to work together with Herb Immortal People to fight Yao Di.

The Sixth Mainland had a relatively clear understanding of Yao Di’s strength, and they had already known that Herb Immortal alone would stand no chance. However, they had still been a step behind. Herb Immortal had nearly died, and Lan Xian would never be able to stop Yao Di on her own. With three Semi-Progenitors working together, it was impossible to know if Yao Di would win or lose.

Lu Yin soon saw enough runes to cover the entire region. They were moving to the north and passing through Ironblood Weave. They belonged to Lan Xian.

Kui Luo kept all three of the men hidden, so Lan Xian was unable to sense anything.

“Can those three Semi-Progenitors stop Yao Di together?” Lu Yin asked.

Kui Luo smirked. “None of them have managed to open their third meridian point. That woman isn’t bad, as she’s opened both the lower and middle meridian points, but she didn’t have the Origin Matter to open her upper meridian point. They’ll soon learn just how big of a gap that last step creates. Actually, why is the Sixth Mainland so short on Origin Matter?”

This was something that Lu Yin did not understand either. Every single one of the Fifth Mainland’s Semi-Progenitors had Origin Matter and had opened all three meridian points. The Sixth Mainland’s overall strength far surpassed that of the Fifth Mainland, yet they seemed to have basically no Origin Matter. When considering all of the Sixth Mainland’s Semi-Progenitors, there were the three currently fighting Yao Di and then Jiu Yao, and yet only Jiu Yao possessed any Origin Matter. It was unknown if the dead Jiu San had possessed any Origin Matter.

It was possible that this shortage was due to the Perennial World. Each time that the Perennial World held a Yuanlun Festival, the Fifth Mainland would send their most talented youths to the Perennial World to seek out Origin Matter. After so many years, it made sense for the Fifth Mainland to have gathered a bit of Origin Matter.

“The Sixth Mainland is quite an interesting place. I’m going to go play with them again and uncover more of their secrets.” Kui Luo’s eyes sparkled in excitement.

The Second Nightking’s eyes flashed. This old man was the one behind the Sixth Mainland’s secrets that had been published? Suddenly, the Second Nightking viewed Kui Luo in a different light.

There was no one who could stop a Semi-Progenitor from doing such a despicable thing, and it could only be said that the Sixth Mainland was unlucky enough that this particular Semi-Progenitor was unreasonably powerful.

Lu Yin spoke up quickly when he saw that Kui Luo was about to leave. “There’s no hurry to get back to that. Just wait around for a bit.”

“Wait for what? You want me to stick around to chat with you?” Kui Luo rolled his eyes.

Lu Yin inquired about something that had surprised him, “You mentioned that you don’t intend to try to break through to become Progenitor, yet you previously suggested that you’ve already opened your three meridian points. What did you need the Origin Matter for?”

Kui Luo blinked. “You misheard me. I’ve only opened two meridian points, not three.”

Lu Yin sighed at the old bastard’s response. “Don’t leave quite yet. The war’s about to end, and I might face some situation outside of my control. It’s possible that another war will break out, or I might just achieve my goals. Regardless, both the Astral Beast Domain and the Sixth Mainland have Semi-Progenitors present. I can only feel safe with you nearby.”

Kui Luo became upset. “I’m a man who goes with the wind! I can’t stay tied down for too long.”

“Just a little while. Things are almost done,” Lu Yin murmured as he stared to the north.

“What a pain.”

“By the way, Wang Si should have already come back to find me, but she never managed to track me down.”

“That old bat’s a difficult opponent.”

“I know. One more thing: I managed to become an Envoy.”

“Obviously. You think I’m blind?”

“After my breakthrough, a phenomenon appeared, and it was a tree. Even people in the Perennial World were able to see it.”

Kui Luo froze, and his head slowly turned back to stare at Lu Yin in disbelief. “You- what did you say?”

Lu Yin replied casually, “My breakthrough to the Envoy realm produced a phenomenon that resonated with the Mother Tree. Many people in the Perennial World should have seen me when that happened. What’s wrong?”

Kui Luo was dumbfounded and his mouth hung agape. “You’re saying a phenomenon appeared after your breakthrough, and it was a tree that resonated with the Mother Tree itself? Wait a second, was the disturbance in the true universe back that caused by you to?”

Lu Yin nodded. “It wasn’t a big deal.”

Kui Luo mocked Lu Yin’s words, “Wasn’t a big deal? Why didn’t you say anything about this to me sooner? Give people a bit of warning! You nearly caused me to faint! I’m an old man, remember!”

Lu Yin was taken aback by the old man’s reaction. “Is it really that serious?”

Kui Luo looked Lu Yin up and down. He felt like he was staring at a monster. “Almost all Progenitors produce a phenomenon when they become an Envoy, so that’s just a given. After all, which person who’s able to become a Progenitor isn’t insanely talented? However, having the phenomenon resonate with the Mother Tree and inducing a situation where the Perennial World can peer into the Forsaken Land? How can you possibly think that’s a small matter? Such a phenomenon is unheard of! Wait no, I might have heard of it once before…”
