The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 572 The Secret Plan of the Twelve Great Luo

"Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, if you have any grand plundering plans, please execute them quickly, because we don't have much time left and need to head back."

Ling Yue solemnly repeated his statement, because he suddenly realized that he might have fallen into a common-sense mistake: while this fellow Daoist Wang Wu's strength was undoubtedly formidable, it seemed, perhaps, that he had no plan at all and was waiting for him to speak.

Damn, this is a huge blunder!
Sure enough, Wang Wu's expression was blank. "Fellow Daoist Ling Yue, didn't you say before that you would listen to me on all important and crucial matters? I'm just tinkering around now, waiting for you to assign me targets to plunder! No way, would two old guys who have lived for a combined 200,000 years make such a mistake? Or are we both cursed!"

Wang Wu thought it was all too absurd.

"Stop! Hold on, Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, stop thinking. Okay, actually it's not that serious. We did have a communication problem." Ling Yue was also speechless. He didn't speak because since arriving in the Dao Fire Realm, he had seen all the earth-shattering things this fellow Daoist had done. How could this be considered a trivial matter?

"First of all, Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, what I said before was based on the premise that we have not yet arrived at the Dao Fire Realm. On the way, because we need to calibrate our direction, we must take the lead. I am just a guide, an astronomical observer and prophet."

"But once we reach this fiery realm, my role will be much less significant. At most, I'll just help you illuminate the environment. You've seen the effect, because if we encounter a powerful enemy, I won't be able to withstand it either. It was you who saved me, fellow Daoist. So naturally, you will take the lead from now on, and I will play a supporting role, unless we need to return and re-lock onto the direction. That's the gist of it."

"And now, what I mean is, half the time has passed, and we must be prepared to leave at any time, unless we intend to stay in this Fire Realm for another two thousand years. So, Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, what are your plans?"

After hearing Ling Yue's explanation, Wang Wu immediately understood that he had been too nervous and overthinking things.

"I don't have any plans. Fellow Daoist Lingyue, you should make the plans. I will definitely carry them out." Wang Wu said directly. He was not the kind of ignorant and fearless newbie who was both inexperienced and playful. He knew too little about this Dao Fire Realm, so he needed to listen to the opinions of experts.

“Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, you don’t need to be so modest. With your strength, your understanding of this Dao Fire Realm should be deeper than mine. Only you can judge what is the most valuable and worthwhile target to plunder. I am really just an assistant.” Ling Yue was surprisingly modest.

"I do not believe!"

Wang Wu wasn't being unreasonable; he had realized that Ling Yue was indeed quite capable. Moreover, while Ling Yue's strength appeared to be at the ninth level of the Taiyi realm, it was likely that he was deliberately suppressing his true strength to better utilize the advantages of the Qintianjian's prophets.

Just like Lu Wuchen, who seemed to be a half-step Great Luo before, has now compressed his strength to the ninth level of Taiyi.

"Alright, as expected, you can't hide it from Fellow Daoist Wang Wu. To be honest, our expedition to the Dao Fire Realm this time is not just for plundering. Plundering is the primary objective. Another objective is to support the human cultivators here, or to support the beings here who have the heart to pursue the Dao."

Ling Yue pondered for a long time before suddenly speaking, but what he said was a plan that was nothing special, at least to Wang Wu's ears.

But he pretended to understand and humbly asked for more details, "I would like to hear more about it!"

Ling Yue seemed to see through Wang Wu's hypocrisy and ignorance, but he did not laugh at him. This was because Wang Wu's understanding of the One Great Dao was far beyond his own, so it was worth changing his plans and bringing Wang Wu in.

"It's actually a very simple principle: make more friends and fewer, weaker enemies."

"You, Wang Wu, were a soul that crossed over from a weak outside world because of the tremors and cracks in the Great Dao. But you have cultivated the One Great Dao, so you are a part of the Great Dao. Although you will occupy and seize many resources because of this, the One Great Dao will also become stronger because of you."

"So by the same logic, what if we could transform the Li Huo Realm into a structure similar to the One Great Dao? Instead of its current chaotic, random, and haphazard state of devouring and evolving, what if it were a standard One Great Dao structure?"

Can you imagine what that situation would be like?

"Perhaps there are still irreparable rifts and conflicts between individuals, forces, and races, but everyone will naturally and spontaneously safeguard this one and only path. The benefits that come from this are incomparable to those of simply launching dozens or hundreds of expeditions and plundering."

That's all I can say.

"Now, Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, I only have one question for you: do you want to join this plan? Or, if you just want to be free and unrestrained, that's fine too. As long as you go on more than ten expeditions for the Xuan Tian Sect, you can live a carefree life."

After hearing Ling Yue's words, the first thought that popped into Wang Wu's mind was—original shares! And even original supreme shares!
Grass!

Those twelve Great Luo Immortals are indeed powerful and awesome!
To alter the core structure of the Dao Fire Realm, making all beings thereafter prioritize cultivating the Creation Elixir, and pursuing the One Great Dao in everything they do—this method, this plan, is indeed ruthless and far-sighted.

If the Dao Fire Realm truly switches to cultivating the One Great Dao from now on, what immense benefits will they reap?

"Okay, I'm willing to join."

Only a fool wouldn't want to join.

Moreover, Wang Wu has now basically confirmed that the plan for the Twelve Great Luos has just begun and is in its initial stage.

Of course, they have already completed their first round of financing internally, which is related to the fusion of the celestial realms among the twelve Great Luo Immortals.

They've already completed their first round of initial public offering (IPO) financing. Now that he's joining, it should be considered a Series B round, or even a Series C round would be fine. After all, if the core cultivation mechanism of such a large Dao Fire Realm were changed, wow, the profits would be enormous. Those twelve Great Luo Immortals would definitely be able to break through their current realms immediately.

Wang Wu can definitely become a top-tier Luo (a legendary Chinese immortal) by taking advantage of this incident.

What is a trend? This is a trend!

As for overthrowing the twelve Great Luo Immortals, if Wang Wu had still harbored some illusions before, after he had rampaged through more than three hundred large craters in this fiery realm without encountering a single worthy opponent, he knew—

"Wait! You're speaking too soon!"

A sense of danger suddenly arose in Wang Wu's heart. Without even thinking, he grabbed Ling Yue, turned around, and ran, crossing 350 large pits in an instant. But even so, a jet-black, shiny claw seemed to have foreseen this, waiting there, and as if he had run into it, it pierced directly into his chest.

He was chilled to the bone.

His divine body, which was made from divine creation, couldn't even withstand those incredibly sharp claws.

The owner of these claws was a dark-skinned monster with three heads, five arms, four legs, eight claws, nine tails, and twelve eyes.

Even more bizarrely, Wang Wu was able to read the contempt and hatred in the monster's eyes in that instant.

This is not a mindless, uncivilized monster. No, no, no, this should even be considered a Celestial Lord-level being with a highly advanced civilization and a unique cultivation system.

Because the next second, the monster actually spoke in the human language of the Great Cultivation World in perfect pronunciation.

"You little insect who has overstepped your bounds, do you think my demon race has no one to rely on!"

"Go to hell!"

The next second, Wang Wu's head was chopped off, and he was completely powerless to fight back.

However, just as the demon immortal lord picked up Wang Wu's head to absorb its memories and soul, a dark light suddenly appeared, and an identical claw pierced the demon immortal lord's body from behind, delivering a chilling blow.

The one who made the move was, of course, Wang Wu. He had no other means for this expedition, but he had plenty of hair.

There are tons of them.

They can line up and let you kill them!

"An avatar? Hmm, what an interesting technique, but it's nothing special!"

The demonic immortal, now pierced to the bone, sneered. The next second, its body vanished, and nine strange celestial lanterns suddenly shone from all sides, instantly exposing Wang Wu.

Although Wang Wu escaped from more than three hundred large pits in an instant, it was useless. After being illuminated by the strange sky lamp, it was as if he had been illuminated by the yin and yang energies, and it could also track him.

In a sense, the structural principle of this strange sky lantern is even comparable to that of Yin and Yang.

brush!
It was as if the entire structure of the world was evolving, with strange forces wandering, conspiring, and then generating again in the darkness, piercing Wang Wu through the heart with a single claw before he could react.

Useless.

This move is almost impossible to counter.

Even if Wang Wu could escape from a thousand large pits, it wouldn't matter, let alone more than three hundred.

The demon clan immortal lord on the other side has the perfect combination of timing, location, and people!

This is the real protagonist, a brand new protagonist.

The rotten wood from before was more like old, worn-out goods, easily destroyed.

Wang Wu's only advantage at this moment is that he has enough hairs. As long as he doesn't show his face, the demon immortal lord won't be able to find his true form.

However, if it appears, death is certain.

Moreover, judging from the situation, it is estimated that many members of the expedition team, and even previous expedition teams, have been trapped in the Dao Fire Realm.

Despite these thoughts, Wang Wu acted as if he were in a panic, as if he were desperate. Time and again, he launched relentless attacks on the Demon Clan Immortal Lord, like a fancy performance...

No one is more competent than him.

But this Demon Clan Immortal Lord is truly amazing. Perhaps he ate the brain of a certain half-step Great Luo cultivator on an expedition. In any case, he knows the methods of the Great Immortal Cultivation World like the back of his hand.

While Wang Wu's attacks were dazzling, the Chi Clan Immortal Lord's defenses were truly impenetrable!

It can truly be described as a match made in heaven, a meeting of equals.

However, Wang Wu was ruthless. After performing for so long, he had only thrown out fifty-eight hairs, but he had already deduced a slight flaw.

On this side, he had already coordinated with Ling Yue, a top-tier astronomical observatory prophet, so that both sides could complement each other's strengths...
