Chapter 2116: Chapter 2062–2063: Rest Soil Divine Sand, Zhuque Will
“…” Wu Thirty-Seven fell into a momentary silence.
Originally, even if he helped and saved the Crown Prince of Da Yu, he could gain some advantage in the upcoming cooperation with the Da Yu imperial court.
However, he believed that in the details that followed, there might still be some private scheming between the two parties. Although these schemes wouldn’t disrupt the overall cooperation, they would inevitably cause some friction, wasting a lot of time.
However, he truly underestimated the attitude of the other party, and also underestimated the blessings brought by the top immortal sect Witch Deity Teaching, causing all the plans he had in mind to come to nothing.
He had always been focused on cultivation, even if there were struggles, they were resolved openly based on his own strength. Such scheming situations were rare, so he spent some contribution points to learn about it at the Taoist Academy.
It must be said that the knowledge in the Taoist Academy is vast, seemingly encompassing the Realms of Heavenly Seas, heaven and earth, all things. There is only what you don’t know or haven’t understood, but never anything you can’t find in the Taoist Academy.
If there is something you can’t find in the Taoist Academy, it’s not because there is no such information stored, but more likely because your access level is insufficient, or your contribution points aren’t enough.
All his initial plans evaporated, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say, falling into a brief silence. During this silence, Wu Thirty-Seven even thought of the current Emperor of Heaven.
When the other was once a registered disciple of the Longevity Taoist Monarch, receiving great support from him, was it also this kind of attitude that blinded the Longevity Taoist Monarch’s wise eyes, deeming the other reliable, and thus invested heavily to help him ascend to the position of Emperor of Heaven?
It was unspeakable, and thinking more would lead to trouble.
The thoughts of a Taoist Monarch travelling through All Heavens can easily be sensed by others, especially at this moment, the Jade Emperor is not in retreat. A strong figure like himself has already, at certain times, become worth noticing by the Jade Emperor. If detected, a thunderbolt might strike down, and even the Ancestral Witch might not stand up for him.
Of course, he thought but wouldn’t admit to mocking the other. Instead, he considered it an admirable approach, learning to bow one’s head in insignificance, endure humiliation, and undergo hardship to achieve great success, deserving of the title of a hero.
It’s not that being inflexible is bad, but rather that those inflexible yet able to truly rise to power are too few. Such beings are almost like those chosen by the heavens, who walk a smooth and unhindered path without encountering any accidents.
On the contrary, most people inevitably face numerous hardships along the way, some of which may bring life-and-death crises. In such circumstances, bowing one’s head isn’t shameful; rather, if one stubbornly plays the hero to the very end and falls, that would be a pity.
Seeing the Da Yu Emperor’s decisiveness now, his attitude made Wu Thirty-Seven swallow many of his prepared words.
The Witch Deity Teaching, with its ancient ritualistic lineage, although operating independently, never considered itself part of the Demonic Way and retained some basic rules.
Considering the Da Yu Emperor’s carefree decisiveness, he couldn’t truly press aggressively. After all, with the vast resources of the Witch Deity Teaching, conceding some minor benefits wasn’t a big deal; instead, for the other side, it was quite a gain, resulting in mutual benefit.
“Your Majesty, let this seat capture the villain and celebrate our cooperation,” Wu Thirty-Seven said loudly.
He decided to return the favor by presenting Governor Xu and the entire Xu City as a gift to celebrate their cooperation.
After speaking, Wu Thirty-Seven gently waved his sleeve to push aside the Crown Prince of Da Yu, then stretched out his hand like a prison towards Governor Xu.
At that moment, just like now, Governor Xu had tried to imprison the Da Yu Emperor with a flame prison and attempted to capture the Crown Prince of Da Yu twice, but failed both times.
In just a moment, the situation reversed. Wu Thirty-Seven used the same method to capture him, intending to present him as a gift, something Governor Xu could not allow.
“Courting death!” Governor Xu’s expression turned furious, and he struck out angrily.
At this moment, he had nothing to hold back; after all, others had already acted against him, so how could he just sit and wait to die?
Boom!
The sky was filled with exploding flames, the terrifying heat reaching its peak, as if even the void might melt. Countless flames surrounded Governor Xu, transforming into the silhouette of a Vermilion Bird.
The Vermilion Bird Divine Body achieved, forming a divine ability, the Vermilion Bird Dharma Form.
A Vermilion Bird about a thousand feet in size soared gracefully, its wings spread. Fire feathers transformed into sharp swords, shooting towards Wu Thirty-Seven, each divine feather capable of piercing through the void.
“Heh, the Vermilion Bird Dharma Form is indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately, you are too weak; it’s meaningless struggle!” Wu Thirty-Seven, seeing the Vermilion Bird Dharma Form, shook his head slightly, unimpressed.
One of the Four Holy Beasts, the Vermilion Bird is a being as strong as a Taoist Monarch; even a True Immortal Sixth Layer Quasi-Taoist wouldn’t be its match. However, the person before him couldn’t truly unleash the power of the Vermilion Bird Bloodline.
The opponent’s Vermilion Bird Divine Body had just barely reached Great Success, and this Vermilion Bird Dharma Form was still too illusory to pose any threat to him.
