Eternal Night

Chapter 859 "Trap"

Wu Pifu was jolted awake from his deep meditation. Upon hearing the voice, he immediately asked, "Mastermind, what's going on?"

"Judging in progress...judging complete."

"The Zhenwu Civilization has a unique thought information transmission mechanism. By specially processing the thoughts of the Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal level, it can transform them into random information drifting bottles floating in the dream world. Only when received by human immortals and ghost immortals who are also from the Zhenwu Civilization, it contains coordinates that can be anchored in the dream world and can be analyzed and reached by human immortals and ghost immortals."

“Message… in a bottle?” Wu Pifu was a little embarrassed, but still looked at Es and Zhang Xuer.

Both Es and Zhang Xuer looked completely bewildered. Zhang Xuer immediately said, "Senior Brother Wu, our sect entered the Lost Lands when Ancestor Zhenwu was captured by the Heavenly Court. We really don't know anything about the outside world, and we don't understand what this so-called message bottle is either..."

At this moment, Es pondered for a few seconds before tentatively asking, "True Martial Talisman? Or... Star River Talisman?"

Zhang Xuer's expression changed drastically. She immediately looked around a few times before saying seriously, "How dare you say... the words 'Galaxy'?"

Ace, however, dismissed it, saying, "What's there to be afraid of? Our era has long since passed countless epochs, and those so-called taboos are actually meaningless... Do you think it might be a talisman?"

Zhang Xuer pondered for a moment, then explained to Wu Pifu, "Back then, my Zhenwu lineage... and the Xinghe lineage were incredibly powerful, with a vast sphere of influence. From the high to the mid-level, even the vanguard of the Zhenwu Ancestor and... the Xinghe Ancestor began exploring the lower-level dream worlds. We had hundreds of thousands, even millions, of dream worlds under our command. Under such circumstances, communication was extremely difficult. Therefore, the Zhenwu Ancestor and... the Xinghe Ancestor designed a unique talisman system for my Zhenwu lineage, which transmits information through the thoughts and intentions of the Yang God and the Human Immortal."

"Thoughts and intentions?" Wu Pifu asked curiously.

Zhang Xuer nodded, and a series of thoughts floated out from between her brows as she said, "These are thoughts... You should know that the True Martial lineage is actually divided into two paths to transcendence, but they are complementary to each other, so they can be considered as one set. The physical cultivation of the Human Immortal and the spiritual cultivation of the Yang God are the cultivation of the Yang God. The Yang God cultivates thoughts, while the Human Immortal cultivates fist intent, sword intent, and spear intent. However, the thoughts of the Yang God can be used to manifest in the Ghost Immortal stage, while the intent of the Human Immortal can only be transformed from the illusory to the real after the acupoints are condensed."

Wu Pifu nodded, looked at the sky and said, "So it wasn't that the outside world found the Land of Redemption, but rather that my cultivation here triggered the True Martial Talisman's response... Is it that sensitive? And are there so many of them? And they just happen to be near the Land of Redemption?"

Zhang Xuer and Es both looked thoughtful. Zhang Xuer said, "No, as far as we know, the talisman's sensitivity isn't that strong. It only targets powerful beings at the Ascended Body level. Generally, only eighth-order Ghost Immortals and Condensed Intent Immortals can sense it... Perhaps it's because you, Senior Brother, are too powerful. Even without Ascending Body, your blood energy is so strong, your will is so strong, and even the thought represented by your spirit is incredibly strong. As a result, when cultivating the orthodox True Martial lineage techniques, the range radiating from your will and thought is extremely large, not inferior to... no, far stronger than most True Martial experts at the Ascended Body level. That's why the talisman can sense us."

At this moment, the distress call was still ringing out, but the sound was gradually becoming weaker.

After a few seconds of silence, Wu Pifu said, "Master computer, intercept the information."

"Judgment in progress... Judgment complete, intercepted, coordinates of the information obtained."

"The information coordinates are located in the Dream World at Level 0.6. The information was constructed three months ago. The information contains a coordinate location, a distress signal, and a list of rescue compensation materials... It has been scanned... It has been confirmed that two of the items have a certain auxiliary effect on the third upgrade."

"Scattered stars and shattered diamonds, cherished gems."

Wu Pifu remained silent for several seconds before slowly saying, "Mastermind, you might as well just give me your ID card."

"...510202..."

"Damn it, I didn't tell you to actually report it!"

Wu Pifu grumbled and cursed for a while, then said to Zhang Xuer and Ace, who were looking at him expectantly, "Alright, I'll tell my partner and then I'll make this trip. Go quickly and come back quickly. What are your plans?"

Zhang Xuer and Estun were overjoyed and clasped their hands in unison, saying, "Of course we will go with our senior brother!"

Both of them came from the Lost Lands and had been relegated to figurines for a long time. Now that they were real, they owed Wu Pifu and the Gaia humans a great debt. Although they tried their best to teach Wu Pifu the True Martial lineage's techniques, it was still not enough. Moreover, both of them knew that they were now bound to the Gaia humans. Fortunately, Wu Pifu was one of the leaders of the Gaia humans, so they naturally belonged to Wu Pifu's faction. Naturally, the more True Martial lineage members, the better. Now that they knew that the True Martial lineage still had remaining power in these heavens, how could they not be overjoyed?
They had witnessed the power of the Gaia humans firsthand, and they had also seen that the Gaia humans' headquarters was still in the Absolute Truth Layer. If they didn't cling to such a powerful force, would they still act arrogantly?
The three of them came down from the mountaintop. At that moment, Xu Shilan and the others, along with the small animals, were taking a nap. They were quite surprised to see Wu Pifu and the other two come down, as they had originally thought they would have to wait for at least several days and nights.

Wu Pifu didn't hide anything and explained the details. Then he said to Xu Shilan and the others, "Then I'll go and make a trip. I'll be back quickly, preferably in one day."

Seeing the three small animals approaching, he waved his hand and said, "No need. You two should rest in the Land of Redemption. This isn't about establishing a sanctuary or searching for anything; it's just about having a fight. I can take these two burdens with me. Just go and come back quickly."

Zhang Xuer and Es remained silent, embarrassed. Although they wanted to say that they were Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortals and peak Martial Saints, calling them a burden in front of Wu Pifu was already an understatement.

To put it bluntly... they're just weaklings who aren't even at the level of Ascension. Wu Pifu immediately used his Immortal Martial Arts to subdue the two and said directly to the mainframe, "Then, mainframe, let's go."

The next instant, the main brain activated its penetration, and Wu Pifu, along with Zhang Xuer and Ace, disappeared from the spot.

A beam of light from the dream world pierced through, shooting straight from the 0.9 level down to the 0.6 level of the dream world.

Meanwhile, in an area where many dream worlds are fragmented, a layer resembling a dark web envelops and wraps around a dream world that is half-collapsed and broken.

As the beam of light fell, the dark net suddenly writhed and wrapped around it like tentacles, deflecting the beam's trajectory...

Wu Pifu landed with the two of them, and he immediately frowned.

Because the air here is extremely polluted, the sky is dark, and you can't see the stars or the sun, only a patch of dark clouds. At the same time, the land is barren, making it look like an apocalyptic scene.

"...So tragic?" Wu Pifu clicked his tongue in amazement. He was just about to shout for the person who had come when he heard a cackling laugh coming from afar.

He saw dozens of humanoid figures with spikes growing from their joints surrounding a five-meter-tall, exoskeleton-like, roughly humanoid creature standing a kilometer away. At the same time, there were about a dozen more humanoid figures with spikes growing from their joints in front, behind, and to the left and right of him.

“Poor thing.”

Wu Pifu immediately recognized their thick blood energy and extraordinary foundation as members of the Zhenwu lineage. He then said loudly, "You have come as promised. Fellow Daoists, you have truly suffered. So... are you here to fight the disaster?"

Everyone around fell silent. Zhang Xuer and Ace also saw the scene clearly. Their expressions changed drastically, and Ace immediately shouted, "Oh no! It's an extraterrestrial demon! Senior brother, we've been ambushed!"

"Huh?" Wu Pifu asked, puzzled.

At this moment, the humanoid figure with the five-meter-tall exoskeleton cackled, "As expected, with the dramatic changes in the world, even the defeated dogs of your True Martial lineage have finally revealed their true colors. The Ancestor found your remnants, but instead of wiping you out in one fell swoop, he set up this Heavenly Demon Formation. Sure enough, he waited for all of you stray dogs to come together. Well, good riddance..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Pifu slapped the humanoid into a pulp. Its exoskeleton, the black light flashing on its body, and even its surging blood energy, which resembled that of a human immortal martial artist, were all useless. With one slap, everything turned into a pulp and then vanished into thin air.

Originally, Wu Pifu didn't activate his emotional perception because they were fellow practitioners. However, after learning that these were so-called extraterrestrial demons, he activated his emotional perception and lost all interest in speaking to them. He struck down with his palm, and everything fell silent.

Unexpectedly, a wisp of black smoke rose from the minced meat. The smoke moved with incredible speed, shouting as it fled, "Ancestor, save me! I've caught a big fish! This must be…!"

With another slap, Wu Pifu appeared tens of thousands of meters away, and the black smoke vanished into thin air.

The hundreds of half-human, half-demon beings covered in spikes below were trembling in fear. At the same time, a hideous demonic face appeared in the dark clouds in the sky, its vast aura obscuring the world, and the sublimated being descended directly.

"Okay, okay, it's my eighth day..."

Wu Pifu returned with a single slash, watching the demonic face crumble inch by inch. To the astonishment of Zhang Xuer and Ace, this apocalyptic world also collapsed, revealing a sunlit world behind it. In that world, many demonic soldiers were fighting against hundreds of disciples of the True Martial lineage, but both sides were staring blankly at this scene.

"What kind of verbal tic is that?! What the hell?!"

Wu Pifu brandished his knife and cursed. Then, in the center of the field, there was a shadowy figure whose body was half destroyed, and next to that shadow stood a pitch-black giant.

The shadow was that thing from the eighth day or something; Wu Pifu didn't care that it hadn't been killed with a single strike. But the giant... he felt it looked very familiar, extremely familiar...

Just then, the mainframe suddenly displayed a piece of its own information data in front of Wu Pifu, while highlighting a certain text.

"...The Titan Demon Realm's attraction rate is 19%-19% (from the overwhelmingly fearful gaze of the Titan Demon Ancestor Ceres)..."
