Man is in the heavens, parasites are born

Chapter 237 Cooperation
Can that thing be swallowed? Admittedly, the level of that strange plateau is unimaginably high, possessing power that surpasses the realm of sacrificial rites.

The true power of that cursed land is unimaginable. Although it does not possess the great power of the true sacrificial path, it is certainly a sacrificial power that surpasses our understanding.

Moreover, it possesses boundless and terrifying pollution; swallowing it would be courting death.
"Rest assured, fellow Daoist. Since we have put forward a corresponding plan, we are confident in dealing with the variables involved." At this moment, Shi Hao spoke up and said, "I have fought fiercely on that plateau for millions of years and I know very well how terrible it is there. But as long as we perform the second Dao sacrifice, our strength will be enhanced once again, and then the pollution will not be so terrible."

He was absolutely confident in this, believing that with his current strength, he could easily defeat the three progenitors.

Fang Ming silently complained to himself, "I really can't trust your plan."

The thought of their reputation as "Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix" made Fang Ming uneasy. His intentions were good, but even if you asked him to relax, he really couldn't put his mind at ease.

“That’s right. Even if a second successful ritual isn’t enough to break into that strange ancestral land, a third, fourth, fifth… as the number of rituals increases, we will definitely be able to suppress that ancestral land. Dealing with those pollutants won’t be a problem then,” Ye Fan added.

Perhaps those strange substances are also a fundamental rule of the Great Dao that transcends current understanding. Perhaps they cannot be called rules, but rather something that has evolved from them. However, if one could absorb and refine them, it would certainly bring great benefits.

The birth of the progenitor of the mysterious race's immortal emperor is closely related to him.

Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Fang Ming nodded in agreement.

I initially thought they were going to come up with some groundbreaking wisdom, but it turns out this is a normal development, which is a good thing.

Currently, we have the advantage, so there's really no need to fight tooth and nail in our ancestral highland region.

Through repeated rituals, they are very likely to become beings above the ritual level.

This is similar to the path of the Three-Life Copper Coffin Master. After the Three-Life Copper Coffin Master destroyed all enemies, he sacrificed endless time and space, the universe, chaos, and the Dao, and then restarted it to give birth to a stronger Dao, and then sacrificed it again... and so on in countless cycles!

He was born, destroyed, and continued to cycle, eventually reaching an indescribable level and an unimaginable height. He recreated everything from the past, but it had no meaning for him.

This is another path that leads to the path of sacrifice, not something that can be achieved overnight, but rather a gradual ascent.

However, if Shi Hao and Ye Fan can continue to remain hidden, the advantage will be on their side, according to the original trajectory.

Those ancestors themselves said that as time goes by, in another one or two eras, they wouldn't be able to take down Shi Hao without five or six people.

Even if all ten progenitors came out at that time, they still wouldn't be able to defeat Shi Hao and Ye Fan, not to mention Ruthless Man and Wu Shi.

Even though Chu Feng didn't make a move, the balance of power had already shifted.

If the will of the plateau does not awaken by then, the strange race will have no choice but to retreat to their ancestral plateau land.

However, these are all optimal rehearsals, and in reality, it is very difficult to make things happen in the way they are predicted.

With their ancestral highland as a refuge, the mysterious race is virtually immune to any schemes or plans targeting them, which would alert their progenitor and trigger warnings.

That was their original plan, and that's also their new plan.

The key to the plan lies in whether it can be concealed from the will of the plateau and the spiritual senses of the progenitors, preventing them from noticing what is happening. That is the crucial point.

It can't be hidden anymore; it's all in vain.

Fang Ming frowned, asking with some concern, "Will this plan be able to conceal it from the true higher-ups of the strange race? Won't they notice anything amiss?"

At this moment, Ye Fan looked at the treasure ship under Fang Ming's feet and said, "Without this treasure ship, we would not have been able to find your whereabouts. Even though you have caused such a great disturbance in this era, we only know that things have changed, and we cannot even be sure whether it is the future or the past."

Fang Ming is very special. Even with their advanced level of sacrificial arts and the huge storm he stirred up in the past, they were unable to detect his existence.

This is enough to prove that this person is special. Putting aside everything else, his ability to conceal himself is even more remarkable than the stone jar he had previously obtained.

“Apart from the special case of the Desolate Heaven Emperor, it is impossible for anyone else to trace your existence,” Ye Fan said calmly.

Shi Hao's "Transformation of Others" technique is unique. This era has his incarnation, and as long as he is willing, he can naturally awaken at any time and know about the changes of this era.

"But for an Immortal Emperor, the past and future are uncertain, constantly changing, and can even be altered at any time." At this moment, Shi Hao said with a smile, "Without accurate Dao beacons and tokens, even if they sense something, they can only mobilize their Quasi-Immortal Emperors and Immortal Kings to search through one time and space fragment after another. It's not easy to find them."

"Wait a minute!" Fang Ming reached out, his expression somewhat strange, and said, "If I were a high-ranking member of the Strange Clan, I wouldn't do this. I would take direct action instead of searching. I would go directly to your subordinates. Anyway, you are loyal and righteous, you can run away but your subordinates can't!"

Once you reach this level, you'll know exactly what skills each of you possesses. Even if you die, it doesn't necessarily mean you're truly dead; your subordinates might be cultivating in seclusion somewhere.

This is the Achilles' heel of Shi Hao, Ye Fan, and the others!
In fact, that's exactly what the original, eerie progenitor did: first, he found Shi Hao and Ye Fan's subordinates, located their foundational worlds, and forced the two to reveal themselves, thus forcing them into a duel!

"So what if we force them to search?" Ye Fan asked with a smile. "If we were in their shoes, we wouldn't use such a stupid method. But if we sense a major change but can't find where that change is, is such a stupid method the only option?" Hearing Ye Fan's words, Fang Ming nodded. If that were the case, then a thorough search would be the only way.

"So what are your thoughts, fellow Daoists? Do you perhaps intend to relocate your own foundation world to my myriad worlds?" Fang Ming looked at the five people opposite him with great surprise.

If that's the case, then it certainly works. The myriad worlds are part of him, and he is also protected by the attribute panel, possessing incredibly powerful concealment abilities.

Without the necessary guiding items, Shi Hao and Ye Fan, who were performing the ritual, could not find themselves, and the ancestor of the strange race would also be unable to find himself.

Ye Fan said, "Do you think this is feasible, fellow Daoist? Of course, we will not simply transfer our own foundation world to your myriad worlds for nothing. If you agree, we will certainly reward you handsomely!"

They did indeed believe that no place, past or future, possessed greater concealment than this one, not even the stone jar could compare.

They could conclude that even the progenitor of the bizarre would not be found here.

This can buy them crucial time, but of course, it depends on whether the owner agrees.

If they agree, they can temporarily disappear from the heavens after the next grand spectacle.

"A generous reward?" Fang Ming asked curiously, "What kind of reward is it?"

It's only natural to expect rewards for doing things, especially since it involves significant risks.

He also knew that by agreeing to this, he was essentially on the same side as the enemy.

It's only a matter of time before they're discovered by the monstrous progenitor's thorough search, and then a battle will be inevitable.

It's really hard to say how much time can be gained from such a thorough search.

Of course, with Fang Ming's current abilities, he also has other means to take people into other dimensions, leaving only a gate to the heavens and part of their bodies, and then come back to fight their way back.

It's not that there's absolutely no way out.

What he's curious about now is what kind of compensation they'll offer.

Ye Fan and Shi Hao, who were in the lead, exchanged a glance, and then Shi Hao said, "How about you make your request, fellow Daoist? Let's see if we can fulfill your request."

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist, just speak up. Don't worry that we'll think you're asking for too much. This way, we can show our sincerity," Ye Fan then said.

"I'm making a request?" Fang Ming frowned, then asked, "If you fellow Daoists were to migrate your foundational worlds to my myriad worlds, could you help me resist any invasions in the future? I am currently facing the imminent invasion of the Soul River."

If this works, then the external threats will disappear, and we can completely relax and truly focus on our spiritual practice.

"The Soul River invasion?" Shi Hao and Ye Fan exchanged a glance. Ye Fan said, "We probably can't directly help you resolve the Soul River issue yet. The Soul River is of great importance. If we take direct action, the Immortal Emperor of the Strange Clan can easily follow the clues and find out when the big problem occurred."

"Given the current situation, we can only assist you, fellow Daoist, to prevent the strange race from truly threatening you." As he spoke, he looked at Fang Ming and said in a deep voice, "It would be best if you did not eliminate the forces of the strange race within the boundless heavens. Even if we disrupt the cause and effect in various time and space and interfere with the past and future, it will allow the Ancestor to determine which time period the problem occurred more quickly, thus finding you more quickly."

Their immediate priority is to gain more time to grow and delay as much as possible so that the progenitor of the strange race doesn't discover them.

Therefore, it is naturally not advisable to make a move lightly.

Then, Shi Hao spoke up, saying, "Of course, if it is an invasion from an external enemy from another world or other realms, then there is no problem. We will have no worries and can naturally help you, fellow Daoist."

Fang Ming nodded, then asked, "I wonder how you fellow Daoists plan to assist me? How can you give me the strength to deal with the strange race?"

The current power of the Weird Clan in the heavens is not limited to the River of Souls, but also includes the Ancient Underworld, the Four Extremes Floating Earth, and the Heaven and Earth Burial Pit, which may or may not have already appeared.

The number of Quasi-Immortal Emperors among them must be astonishing, certainly exceeding the number on both hands.

"Of course, it's to increase your strength, fellow Daoist. Once your strength increases, you will naturally have no fear of the threat from the strange race," Ye Fan said, with complete confidence.

It seems they were prepared for this.

Fang Ming frowned. Clearly, this was a method for rapid growth, but he was puzzled; it seemed to be a paradox.

If they had this method, they wouldn't have been forced into this situation by the strange race.
