From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 612 Taiyi Plan, Heavenly Capital Conspiracy
The meeting at the Golden Immortal Hall adjourned.

Hua Tiandu walked with Sun Xihua, Deng Ao, and others, his expression not good.

"Grandmaster, Elder Deng, Li Chengqian, he..." Hua Tiandu hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

Sun Xihua snorted coldly: "This kid is deep and cunning. He seems calm on the surface, but he is actually very confident. He is now also at the Cave Heaven Realm and has great strength. This time, he is probably planning to take advantage of the chaos. Tiandu, are you sure you can take the initiative after opening the Heavenly Martial Treasury?"

"I'm sure!" This time, Hua Tian replied quickly and confidently.

Because he had already reached an agreement with the Taiyi Sect, and planned to take advantage of the opening of the Heavenly Martial Treasury to kill a group of experts from the Feathered Immortal Sect.

"It's good that you have confidence, Tiandu. Your master, Ruyi Zi, will most likely have been killed by Li Chengqian. That boy is extremely cunning and we must be wary of him!"

"The disciple understands."

On the other side, Li Chengqian and Fang Qingxue walked out of the Feathered Heaven Palace side by side.

"Cousin, what should we do about the Heavenly Martial Treasury?" Fang Qingxue asked telepathically. The Heavenly Martial Treasury was famous in the Xuanhuang Great World, and she naturally knew that the treasures inside were extraordinary.

Li Chengqian smiled slightly and took her hand: "The ordinary treasures in the treasury are no longer of any use to us. The truly good things are something that even Hua Tiandu may not be able to obtain, and even if he did, he might not be able to keep them. Moreover, there will inevitably be a fierce battle between Hua Tiandu and Fang Han. Why should we rush into it? Only by observing the situation can we profit from the chaos."

He looked up at the endless sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of space, seeing the hidden Heavenly Martial Treasury, and also the intertwined threads of fate and the boiling struggle for destiny in the future.

"The storm is coming. And all we need to do is prepare ourselves to be the ultimate beneficiaries."

Fang Qingxue seemed to understand, but feeling the warmth of Li Chengqian's palm and his composed confidence, her cool eyes revealed complete trust, and she gently leaned closer.

"Yes, I'll do whatever my cousin says."

The two figures transformed into streaks of light and disappeared into the clouds and mist of the Feathered Immortal Mountain.

——————I am the dividing line——————

On the other side, Hua Tiandu, another deputy sect leader of the Feathered Immortal Sect, did not return to his Tiandu Peak after leaving the Golden Immortal Hall.

Inside the Golden Immortal Palace, the Cave Heaven Realm cultivation levels displayed by Li Chengqian and Fang Qingxue were like two invisible mountains, pressing heavily on his heart. The slight confidence and scheming he had gained from advancing to the Longevity Realm seemed so laughable and vulnerable in the face of such an absolute difference in strength.

His hard work within the Feathered Ascension Sect, his efforts to win over Wan Luo and Ling Xiao, and his introduction of external aid, now seem more like a farcical act of self-amusement.

A profound sense of powerlessness and humiliation intertwined, causing his sense of belonging to the Feathered Gate to plummet to rock bottom.

"If they won't keep me here, there are plenty of other places that will!" A ruthless and resolute glint flashed in Hua Tiandu's eyes. His figure transformed into a streak of light, not returning to Tiandu Peak, but instead tearing through the void and speeding towards the Taiyi Sect. He intended to completely side with the Taiyi Sect, using their power to achieve his goals, and perhaps even... take revenge on those who had humiliated him!

Taiyi Gate, deep within the eternal furnace shrouded in celestial energy.

As soon as Hua Tiandu arrived at Taiyi Gate, he was led here by Chi Rongtian and met Taihuangtian.

"Tian Du pays respects to the Ancestral Master!"
Upon seeing Taihuangtian, Huatian immediately bowed and paid his respects, demonstrating his sincerity.

"Tiandu, why are you making this gesture?!"

"Reporting to Grandmaster, today Li Chengqian and Fang Qingxue returned from investigating the affairs of the Divine Race in the Golden Immortal Hall of the Feathered Ascension Sect, bringing back news that the Divine Race is about to unleash a great calamity..." He paused here, his expression turning extremely grim, "Furthermore, both of them advanced to the Cave Heaven Realm during their trip. Although I made some arrangements within the Feathered Ascension Sect, it seems that all of them have been in vain."

"What?! They've both reached the Cave Heaven Realm?!" Chi Rongtian was shocked. As the first deputy sect leader of Taiyi Sect and the reincarnation of the ancient fire god, he always held himself in high esteem. When he advanced to the Longevity Secret Realm, these two people's ancestors might not even have been born yet. But now, these two juniors have actually advanced to the Cave Heaven Realm!
This……

Taihuangtian raised an eyebrow. "Fang Qingxue is the reincarnation of the Goddess of Lightning. Legend has it that the Goddess of Lightning once saw the Gate of Immortality in the Immortal Realm. She is a person with great fortune. As for Li Chengqian, although we do not know his origins, he must also be the reincarnation of a great figure in the Immortal Realm, which is why he has such fortune. Unfortunately, the secrets of heaven are in disarray now. It is almost impossible to investigate their backgrounds and deduce their origins."

However, from Hua Tiandu's tone, he understood what he meant: he was going to completely side with the Taiyi Sect.

"So, the Feathered Immortal Sect has decided to use your power to open the Heavenly Martial Treasury?!"

"Yes!" Hua Tiandu stood respectfully at the lower position and revealed all the information he knew about the Heavenly Martial Treasury, as well as the plan of the Feathered Gate to organize forces to help him open the treasury.

"Good! Tiandu, you've done very well!" Taihuangtian's voice boomed, carrying a hint of approval. "The Heavenly Martial Treasury was left behind by Immortal Venerable Panwu, containing boundless treasures, and may even hold secrets to fight against the God Clan or even ascend to the Immortal Realm. This time, the Feathered Ascension Sect has come out in full force, which is the perfect opportunity for us to wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

A calculating glint flashed in Chi Rongtian's eyes as he interjected, "Excellent! At that time, we'll coordinate an attack from within the Heavenly Martial Treasury. With our strength, we'll surely wipe out Feng Baiyu, Li Chengqian, Fang Qingxue, and the others in one fell swoop. As long as we bury these core leaders in the treasury, the Feathered Ascension Sect will be leaderless, and its destruction will be imminent!"

“You’re thinking too simply,” Taihuangtian shook his head. “Whether it’s Feng Baiyu or the Three Ascension Saints, they won’t enter the treasure vault easily. They will only serve as a safety net. So this time, I will work with the Supreme Elders of the sect to intercept them. As for those who enter the treasure vault, you can handle them. Tiandu, you must be careful then, especially Li Chengqian and Fang Qingxue. Make sure to keep them in the Heavenly Martial Vault.”

"Disciple understands." Hua Tiandu heard this, and a twisted sense of pleasure welled up in his heart. He seemed to already see Li Chengqian and the others trapped and killed in the Heavenly Martial Treasury, and the Yuhua Sect falling apart.

"It is all in accordance with the arrangements of the Ancestor!" Hua Tiandu bowed and said, "However... the Heavenly Martial Treasury was left behind by Immortal Venerable Panwu after all. Although I am his successor, the specific situation inside the treasury is complicated, and we still need to plan carefully to ensure that the treasure falls into our hands."

“That is natural.” Taihuangtian nodded. “At that time, you and our Holy Maiden Yanshui will work together from the outside. She has now advanced to the Cave Heaven Realm and her strength has greatly increased, which is enough to help you control the situation in the warehouse.”

"What?! Yan Shui Tian has also advanced to the Cave Heaven Realm?!"

Hua Tiandu and Chi Rong Tiandu were greatly surprised.

“Yan Shuitian has only been back for a short time and has been in seclusion in the Eternal Divine Furnace to stabilize his realm, so you don’t know.” He paused here and looked at Chi Rongtian, “Chi Rongtian, I know that you and Yan Shuitian have always been fierce competitors, but this is a major event for the sect. We must unite and cooperate, and we absolutely cannot make any mistakes.”

"Yes!" Although he was very unhappy, Chi Rongtian did not dare to disobey Taihuangtian's order. Moreover, at this critical juncture, as the deputy sect leader of Taiyi Sect, he did not dare to hold back.

After discussion, Hua Tiandu said that after leaving the Eternal Divine Furnace, thinking of Yan Shuitian, his heart warmed. This Taiyi Sect Saintess, with whom he was betrothed, was not only of noble status and exceptionally talented, but had also become a giant in the Cave Heaven Realm. If he could gain her wholehearted assistance, both seizing the Heavenly Martial Treasury and his future path would be smooth sailing.

With this in mind, after leaving the Eternal Divine Furnace, Hua Tiandu specifically sought out Yan Shuiyi's secluded place for cultivation.

Then, everything turned out to be completely different from what he had imagined.

Yan Shuiyi's face was still veiled, her temperament aloof and ethereal, with faint shimmering water and the laws of the grotto-heaven flowing around her, her aura profound, confirming her stable position at the grotto-heaven realm. However, when faced with Hua Tiandu's gaze, which was filled with goodwill and expectation, her response was cold and almost indifferent.

"Hua Tiandu, the sect has its own arrangements regarding the Heavenly Martial Treasury. You and I can simply proceed according to the plan." Yan Shuitian's tone was calm, with a clear hint of detachment. "If there is nothing else, please return. I need to cultivate in seclusion to stabilize my cultivation level."

Hua Tiandu's smile froze, and all the words he had prepared stuck in his throat. He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something more, but Yan Shuitian only glanced at him indifferently. Her eyes were calm and unwavering, as if she were looking at an insignificant stranger. Then she turned around, and the cave's protective barrier flashed, isolating him from the outside.

"You..." Hua Tiandu was utterly humiliated, his face instantly turning ashen, a surge of anger rising to his head. He was, after all, an ancient giant of the Longevity Realm, the vice-leader of the Feathered Ascension Sect; when had he ever been treated so coldly? Especially not by his nominal fiancée!
"You wretch! You must think you've reached the Cave Heaven Realm and look down on me!" Hua Tiandu cursed viciously in his heart, his anger and humiliation having nowhere to go. With a gloomy face, he turned and left the Taiyi Sect Immortal Mountain.

On the way back, Hua Tiandu was restless and began to doubt the Taiyi Sect. He wondered if the Taiyi Sect was truly cooperating with him or if they would betray him after using him.
All of this seems to be a pursuit of knowledge!
