The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 385: Immortal Suzaku?

"Therefore, rescuing the stolen supplies will not change the fundamental problem. Even if you have a million strands of human energy, it will be meaningless!"

"Because the base of the Hidden Origin Bell in Dragon Head City is damaged, software cannot compete with hardware until it is repaired."

"Repairing the base that supports the Hidden Yuan Bell is the only way to solve the problem."

Wang Wu finally understood.

I also understand the ins and outs of everything.

This is a very simple matter.

First, the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance has become somewhat weak for some reason, perhaps due to the fall of the Taiyi True Immortal who was in charge? This made the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance feel that it was a good opportunity to annex it.

Secondly, the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance somehow got involved with the Hidden Origin Society's branch of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance. The two sides reached a cooperation agreement through some kind of exchange of benefits. As a result, the branch of the Hidden Origin Society's Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance began to secretly build a new base and easily applied for repair materials from the headquarters by using the excuse of a damaged base.

Third, although the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance and the Hidden Origin Society's operation was secretive, nothing stays hidden forever. As a result, the leader of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance chose to retaliate in various ways. During this time, the escapees successfully broke out of prison, so he won over the Sin Prison Legion.

This move angered the established forces within the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance, namely the Divine Turtle Clan. No one knows how the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance operated, but after a series of events, they dragged Wang Wu into the mess and, with the help of the Five Poisons' precognitive abilities, set up a very elaborate scheme.

However, the alliance between the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance and the Hidden Origin Society's branch altar was not to be underestimated. Taking advantage of Gui Taizhen's irrefutable provocation, they accelerated their relocation.

From beginning to end, Wang Wu and Gui Taizhen were used as bait.

After figuring this out, he wasn't in a hurry. He continued to learn how to deploy the Ninefold Calamity Fire Array from that teacher. Only by learning how to deploy it could he know how to repair it, and then he could think of ways to find alternative materials.

Anyway, since these materials have already ended up here, there's no point in trying to steal them back. On the contrary, it would alert the enemy and force them to take risks.

Moreover, Wang Wu deeply suspected that while the Five Poisons' precognitive abilities were rare, they could not possibly be unique.

The cultivation world outside is so vast, filled with Earth Immortals and Taiyi True Immortals. Even if they don't have the supernatural power of foresight, surely they can still calculate things with a flick of their fingers?

Any action he takes here could trigger a predictable and anticipated outcome.

But if he does nothing and doesn't affect anything, and doesn't change anything about the outside world, even the most amazing divination and prediction can't deduce what he's thinking, right?

Of course, he will definitely have to return to Dragon Head City to repair the base of the Hidden Origin Bell.

This is something that will definitely happen, and it can change things.

The problem is, who can deduce the origin of a celestial artifact?
Who dares, who has the ability to deduce a celestial artifact?
The moment Wang Wu decided to begin repairing the Hidden Origin Bell, his karma and his fate were temporarily bound to the Hidden Origin Bell; whoever tried to deduce it was courting death!

In the blink of an eye, several more days passed, and the teacher, along with his disciples, successfully completed the deployment of fifty-four Ninefold Calamity Fire Arrays.

Then, the base was completed, and the Hidden Origin Bell would one day rest on these 108 Xuan Iron Sky-Supporting Pillars.

Wang Wu thought they would stay there, but unexpectedly, the teacher somehow contacted the mysterious gray-robed man, who arrived quickly that afternoon, activated the great formation, and respectfully saw the teacher and his disciple off.

Wang Wu also took the opportunity to leave the formation. With the help of these masters and disciples, he passed through the outer minefield and parted ways.

From beginning to end, he didn't change a single blade of grass or tree here, and he didn't take a single drop of that abundant spiritual energy.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't heartbroken, but even greater gains awaited him.

Traveling south, Wang Wu returned to Dragon Head City in about half a day. However, in just seven days, the area outside Dragon Head City had changed drastically.

Dark clouds gathered, and torrential rain poured down, turning the wilderness into a vast swamp.

Under the flood, Longshou City became an isolated city.

That Iron Mountain Town has fallen again, not to mention the Black Iron Mine. I wonder if Brother Watchman is still alive.
But there are no living people outside Dragon Head City.

Water demons with bared fangs and claws were everywhere, but Gui Taizhen was nowhere to be seen. It seemed to know nothing about this and did not attack Dragon Head City. Even cultivators could come and go.

But everyone knows that Gui Taizhen is forcing the Yinyuan Society.

It's losing patience.

Of course, this was also due to the excessive weakness and concessions of the Hidden Origin Society.

The situation is deteriorating. After all, the base of the Hidden Origin Bell in the north has been completed, and the Hidden Origin Society can use Gui Taizhen to push us too far at any time. However, we have always maintained restraint and used this as an excuse to directly lead the mortals and all cultivators of Dragon Head City out of Dragon Head City.

Look, we will never abandon a mortal, a cultivator. Our Hidden Origin Society will always be so noble and righteous...

This is exactly what I wanted!
After wandering around outside Dragon Head City, Wang Wu basically confirmed that on Gui Taizhen's side, it was all bark and no bite. The flood was real, but not many mortals drowned; they were all driven to Dragon Head City.

During this period, even the lower- and middle-level deacons of the Hidden Origin Society dared not come out to accept missions. The operations of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance branch of the Hidden Origin Society essentially came to a standstill.

He needs to speed things up.

Hovering in the sky, he looked down at Dragon Head City.

He had never thought that Dragon Head City was anything special; it was just an ordinary place.

However, after walking around the north, he was quite certain that the layout of the Hidden Origin Society's headquarters was almost identical.

Because the base of the Hidden Origin Bell cannot be changed.

Furthermore, since the Hidden Origin Bell needs to absorb the five elements of mortal life, it cannot be significantly altered.

Therefore, the unfinished city to the north should be a replica of Longshou City.

"Based on the structure and layout of the city to the north, and by looking at the structure of this Dragon Head City, we can deduce the location of the 108 Xuan Iron Sky-Supporting Pillars."

"This Dragon Head City should also be built against the mountain, but the mountain is hidden from the mountainside. So now it seems that although the foundation of Dragon Head City is undulating, the difference in elevation is not great."

"Then, the hidden part should have been incorporated into the upper spiritual network, but hiding cannot change the essence. The 108 Xuan Iron Sky-Supporting Pillars are still there."

In just a few minutes, Wang Wu located the 108 Xuan Iron Sky-Supporting Pillars by comparing them with the city to the north.

That's right, because these Optimus Primes need to be in contact with the foundation, they can't hide in the Spirit Network at all.

However, they are now either disguised as a rockery or a building, or, taking advantage of the terrain, have become roadside rocks.

They are always present, yet they are also completely nonexistent.

So now the remaining questions are: why did they break down in the first place? And how can they be repaired?
After thinking for a moment, Wang Wu returned directly to Dragon Head City and reunited with his top-quality hairy friend in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, that wisp of divine thought returned, and the Supreme Hair-like Lord transformed back into a hair. As for the jade talisman of the Hidden Yuan Society, it fell into Wang Wu's hands.

Over the past seven days, the Supreme Hairy Lord accepted fifty-six Hidden Origin Society missions in one go and actively ran around Dragon Head City, searching for teammates with other Hidden Origin Society deacons, but to no avail.

Nobody's a fool. Everyone noticed something was wrong. Some of the Hidden Origin Society's deacons had already died on missions, which should serve as a warning.

The mysterious person who had previously contacted Wang Wu to reclaim the five elements of the human world has not made any further contact, and it is unknown how his plan is progressing.

Looking back now, this mysterious person might actually belong to the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance.

"Hmm, let's give it a try!"

Wang Wu contacted the other party directly through the jade talisman.

It took quite a while before the other party replied briefly.

Do you want to redeem your magical artifact?

Wang Wu replied directly, "Can we talk in person?"

The other party replied quickly this time: "Give me a reason."

Wang Wu hesitated for a moment. In fact, this was very risky. So far, he had been guessing to determine the other party's identity. If the other party was a high-ranking person in charge of a branch of the Hidden Origin Society, he would be walking into a trap.

However, he really needed the other party's help.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Wu said, "I have no reason, but I think you should know who I am?"

"I don't know who you are. With the Hidden Origin Bell involved, even a first-rank deacon of the Hidden Origin Society has no right to access the Hidden Origin Bell's records. Are you misunderstanding something?"

Upon seeing this answer, Wang Wu was stunned, truly stunned. "Then how did you manage to contact me seven days ago? I thought you knew everything about me and treated me specially!"

"Fool, that was a mass message. The true identities of all the deacons of the Hidden Origin Society are highly confidential. Unless you are willing to do so, and unless you have the highest authority at the Hidden Origin Society headquarters, no one can know your identity! Including our current conversation, no third person will know."

"However, since you're acting so mysteriously and seem so unfamiliar with the rules of the Hidden Origin Society, you're clearly a newbie. And recently, very few cultivators have come to Dragon Head City, especially those with third-grade innate bloodline magic treasures. You're very strong, so your identity is pretty obvious. You're that brat?"

Wang Wu fell silent, filled with deep regret. He had been cautious his whole life, but he never expected to make such a mistake.

"Hahaha, I'm sure I'm not mistaken. You're the one who killed the Mud Turtle in the arena of life and death, you're that bear cub, your name is Xiong Wu, and you also have a nickname, Wang Zhige. You have a concubine named Yu something. Don't be surprised, I am your ally, the current ruler of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance, the Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord!"

"Now, you've come to me using a jade talisman. Our situation is rather dire. I hope you can bring me some good news!"
