Chapter 254: The Cowardly Game! (Greetings to my brothers!)
Chapter 253 – The Coward Game! (New Year’s greetings to brothers!)
Zhao Yi had already deduced that after realizing that he couldn’t send the one inside the Da Xiong Bao Dian into the Small World Fragment, he had completely lost all the means he had to be able to restrain that monster.
Zhao Yi hadn’t exaggerated what he had said to the male lead before.
Whether it was the Sages of the Spirit World or that monster inside the Pagoda’s Secret Realm, the cultivators of the Immortal Cultivation World were all powerless to resist.
The only thing Zhao Yi could do was to transfer everyone into the small world fragments before the Great Tribulation came.
The Small World Fragment was large enough, with an area that was at least ten times that of the Immortal Cultivation World, and the various resources on the fragment were very rich, which was completely enough to feed everyone in the Immortal Cultivation World.
But there was a problem.
The Immortal Cultivation World was extremely large, and the population, demonic beasts, and so on were spread all over the place.
The Great Xia court simply couldn’t gather everyone together in a short period of time.
Even if everyone was in place, the hearts of the people were still unpredictable.
Especially since the small worlds were directly facing the Chaotic Void, the survival environment was harsh, and years of cultivation would still be nullified by the Chaotic Qi.
At that time, it would inevitably cause all sorts of problems.
Some people didn’t believe it, some people were skeptical, some people didn’t want to go, and some people were holding on to their luck
The only things that Zhao Yi could take with him in the end were the Patriarchate, the Xuan Zhen Guan, and the Iron Armor Army and the Armor Breaker Army, and even the city guards wouldn’t necessarily follow him out.
Therefore, trying to send everyone into the Small World Fragment was destined to be an impossible task.
And those who were unwilling to leave would die.
As cruel as it was to say, this was the reality.
Transfers are inevitable.
The strategic environment in the world of Immortal Cultivation was too harsh.
It had even become a target.
Zhao Yi would inevitably end up leaving with all those who were willing to follow him.
And before leaving, he would have to do a bit of arranging in order to buy himself some time.
This arrangement mainly fell on the pagoda’s artifact spirit.
When Zhao Yi heard the male lead say that the pagoda was one of the six divine artifacts that the Sages of the Spirit World had joined forces to refine and give to Sage Liu Wei of the Immortal Cultivation World, he had been speculating whether or not there was an Artifact Spirit present within this divine artifact.
It was just that the artifact spirit was very cautious, and Zhao Yi had tried several times, but never found any traces of its existence.
However, the more this happened, the more Zhao Yi became certain that there was bound to be a mysterious object within the pagoda.
That thing secretly controlled everything in the Pagoda’s secret realm.
“What do you want to do?” The male lead asked.
Although the male lead loathed Zhao Yi, he was still able to prioritize in front of the life and death of the entire Immortal Cultivation World.
Disliking Zhao Yi and cooperating with Zhao Yi were not in conflict.
Zhao Yi shook his head very dryly, “I don’t know!”
“No?” The male lead subconsciously raised his voice.
The male lead had just listened to Zhao Yi’s analysis and thought that he already had a countermeasure, which was why he had gritted his teeth and cooperated with him.
As a result, Zhao Yi actually said he didn’t know?
Zhao Yi rightfully said, ”What can I do if the Pagoda Artifact Spirit keeps hiding and not seeing anyone? Could I even rush in and capture it out?”
In fact, Zhao Yi didn’t even intend to enter this Pagoda Secret Realm anymore.
Zhao Yi’s intuition told him that he had already been targeted by the Pagoda’s Artifact Spirit.
This was evident from the fact that Zhao Yi had entered and exited thirty times before, and each time, his location was the Great Heroic Treasure Pagoda Secret Realm.
The last time wasn’t the Mahamudra anymore, but it was also the mangrove forest infested with the Underworld Tree.
Obviously, the Pagoda’s Artifact Spirit was playing the same game as Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi hoped that the Pagoda’s Artifact Spirit would help him stall for time and slow down the speed of the Underworld Tree’s invasion of the Immortal Cultivation World, thus striving to transfer as many people as possible into the Small World Fragment.
The Pagoda Artifact Spirit also wanted to use Zhao Yi to slow down the speed of the Underworld Tree’s invasion of the other secret worlds.
It would be best if Zhao Yi could kill the Underworld Tree.
Even if it couldn’t, with Zhao Yi’s strength and means, he could still delay the Underworld Tree.
Taking advantage of this gap, the Pagoda Artifact Spirit might be able to run away.
So, it was a game of chicken.
Zhao Yi and the Pagoda Artifact Spirit were like gamblers standing on the Russian roulette wheel.
The Undertree’s next choice was the gun in their hands.
They were gambling. Betting that there were no bullets in the pistols that were pointed at their temples.
Judging from the current situation, Zhao Yi had a good chance of winning.
Because the male lead had said that the Underworld Tree appeared three years later in the middle of the long river of time.
If He directly invaded the Immortal Cultivation World, it wouldn’t take that long.
Therefore, the answer was obvious.
The Underworld Tree had been attacking the city in the Pagoda Mysteries these three years.
Three years was not too long to say, and not too short to say.
Although Zhao Yi couldn’t move everyone away after three years, at least he wouldn’t let the key and close Zhao Clan members be left out.
Therefore, the one who was anxious now should be the Pagoda Artifact Spirit.
Zhao Yi had three years, but it didn’t.
Not only did it not have three years, it probably didn’t even have three months.
Although Zhao Yi didn’t know how that monster inside the Maharajah’s Palace had turned into the form of a large tree, he was well aware of the normal distribution in the middle of the forest.
The more gigantic the tree, the more homogenous the ecology around it would be, and the weaker the system cycle would be.
This was because that tree would rob all the surrounding resources for growth.
Every living thing except the big tree will have to die.
The same goes for that meditative tree in the middle of the Mahamudra.
As the Underworld Tree continued to grow, it would inevitably continue to eat away at the resources within the Pagoda Mystic Realm.
The mangrove forest that Zhao Yi had been to before was a typical example.
In the Mangrove Secret Realm Child, other than the Mangrove Tree, all the other creatures were dead.
Even Zhao Yi had stayed in there for a long time, and his vision and spirit were polluted by the single hue, resulting in depression, dreariness, and even thoughts of wanting to lighten up.
Zhao Yi even guessed that the Pagoda Artifact Spirit was actually pressurizing Zhao Yi by sending him to the Secret Mangrove Realm.
If Zhao Yi didn’t deal with the Underworld Tree, the Immortal Cultivation World would have become like this.
What it just didn’t know was that after Zhao Yi determined that the Underworld Tree had become so powerful that it wasn’t something the Immortal Cultivation World could resist, he immediately had the idea of transferring it all.
If the land is stored and people are lost, all people and land will be lost.
If a village loses its people and land, all people and land will be lost.
Zhao Yi is not a fool, how could he fight with someone in a situation of certain death.
When the male lord saw Zhao Yi looking at the pagoda’s secret realm in a daze, he frowned and said, “Are we not going to do anything if it doesn’t come out?”
“Of course we still have to do it.”
Zhao Yi thought for a moment and assigned tasks, “I’m going to go back to Shengjing City to arrange some things. Why don’t you make a trip to the Maharajah’s Secret Realm and see that monster with your own eyes, otherwise you won’t have a concept in your mind no matter how much I say.”
The male lead nodded, “I’ll do it even if you don’t say so!”
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Yi and said with a straight face, “The Underworld Tree is not only a trouble for the Immortal Cultivation World, it is likewise a disaster for the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Minor Worlds, and I feel the need to pass this news on to the Spirit Realm. The cultivation of the Sages of the Spirit Realm is much stronger than the Immortal Cultivation World, so if they step in, they might be able to nip the Underworld Tree in the bud.”
Nip in the bud?
Zhao Yi’s eyes turned cloudy when he thought of seeing the billions of inscriptions on the roots of the tree under the great river, as well as an entire mystic realm of mangroves.
The Underworld Tree had been lurking for more than a hundred thousand years and had long since become a climate.
Whoever would treat it as an ordinary tree would definitely be at a great loss.
Zhao Yi glanced at the male lead and nodded approvingly, ”You’re right, the Underworld Tree is a disaster for the entire world, there’s no need for us to carry such a big pot ourselves. If you have channels, you can completely inform the Spirit World of this news. If the sages of the Spirit World are willing to step in, they might actually be able to solve the problem.”
Saying this, Zhao Yi added, “But before that, I still suggest that you make a trip to the Mahamudra secret realm first, and after reading it your feelings will be even stronger when sending a message to the spirit world.”
After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something as if he casually said, “By the way, don’t go down to the great river in that secret realm, there’s nothing in there, it won’t be dangerous.”
Big river?
A strange color flickered in the male lead’s eyes.
Zhao Yi was a man who always liked to hide things.
The fact that he specifically warned against going to the big river meant that there was definitely something in there.
The corners of the male lead’s mouth skimmed.
The more Zhao Yi also refused to let him go, the more he wanted to go!
