The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 484 Lu Tong's Secret

"A magic pill! Holy crap! My lord, you've been hiding this for far too long!"

Feng Muhan shouted excitedly. He had a very deep memory of this miraculous elixir; it was truly as miraculous as the Five Elements Creation Elixir.

Previously, when Lu Tong wanted to fake his death to escape, he thought that perhaps he could use this magical elixir.

"Since we have this elixir, why not try feigning death?"

“That’s not a sure thing. If Liu Shengxuan has even the slightest doubt, all our efforts will be in vain. So, the strategy you have is better, sir. Let’s enter the Great Wilderness Prison Tower first and let them carry out the executions.”

Zhuang Bufei was also quite excited, but he was still more rational, even though Wang Wu's suggestion was equally absurd.

"So, sir, what's the plan?" Lu Tong asked impatiently.

Wang Wu remained silent for a moment. To be honest, he really didn't want to take out the Greatest Agreement Pill, and he didn't want to get involved in this mess!

But since Frost Lord had entrusted Frost Domain to him, he couldn't just ignore it.

What he was most grateful for about Shuangjun was her sincerity; when it came to helping, she was never hesitant.

So he was willing to reciprocate with sincerity, and that had nothing to do with dowry or anything like that.

At that moment, he casually grabbed the Greatest Common Pill and handed it to Lu Tong. Then, he quickly deployed a White Tiger Heaven and Earth Needle and said to Lu Tong in a deep voice.

"The key to how to be resurrected lies here. First, take the elixir, then enter it, master the illumination of Yin and Yang energies, and finally inject no less than a hundred billion dou of spiritual energy into it. You will understand how to operate it after you have figured it out yourself. The rest is up to you."

"It's that simple?"

Lu Tong was somewhat incredulous.

Wang Wu nodded silently. In fact, it was not simple. His greatest consensus pill was actually like a pinch of yeast in a dough, or like the core source code that had been tested, or the tungsten filament in a light bulb, or penicillin in mold.

It's easy to observe directly, but the most difficult part is how to cultivate the greatest common distillate.

Therefore, even though Feng Muhan personally consumed the Greatest Agreement Pill, and even though he was an extremely powerful Taiyi Fifth-Order True Immortal, he could not replicate it.

Unless he is willing to spend hundreds or even thousands of times more effort, resources, and time to trace back to the source and reverse the process, it is theoretically possible to reverse the process, but in reality, this is not cost-effective.

Wang Wu's Greatest Common Elixir was formed through numerous world wars of elixirs and through a series of random evolutions.

It's not something anyone can just trace back to.

Of course, if Wang Wu provided a dozen or so Greatest Common Pills in one go, the problem would be easily solved.

Lu Tong didn't press for details, and immediately clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, sir!"

Next, he swallowed the Greatest Agreement Pill, and with the help of Zhuang Bufei and the other two, sealed the White Tiger Heaven and Earth Needle, injecting a full three hundred billion dou of spiritual energy, fearing it wouldn't be enough.

Just half a day later, Lu Tong emerged from the White Tiger Heaven and Earth Needle, his face filled with excitement and disbelief.

At this moment, Zhuang Bufei, Feng Muhan, Qu Shenglian and the others looked over and saw that there was another rather strange and mysterious elixir inside the White Tiger Heaven and Earth Needle. It seemed that there was a second Lu Tong sitting cross-legged inside the elixir.

"Senior Brother, is that all?"

Zhuang Bufei and the other two were shocked; it was far too simple.

"It should be considered a success. I understand the master's intention. It can indeed be done. Actually, it's very simple. It's this elixir, along with the Heaven and Earth Needle and the spiritual energy, that allowed me to break through the bottleneck in just half a day and advance to the seventh level of Taiyi in one go."

"But because of the effect of the White Tiger Heaven and Earth Needle, my advancement was concealed."

"Then I split my power in two, hiding one part here and sending the other to my death. So even if you can't bring my remnant soul back in time after I'm executed, it doesn't matter, because the real me is still here."

"That's impossible. No avatar can withstand the process of verifying the identity!"

Zhuang Bufei and Feng Muhan both looked astonished.

Lu Tong chuckled but didn't explain anything further. He simply stepped forward and gave Zhuang Bufei and Feng Muhan a tight hug, then affectionately patted Qu Shenglian's head.

"The three of you must promise me that from this day forward, you will be responsible for keeping Frost Domain in a low-key and dormant position. Don't worry about the provocations and difficulties from your opponents. After killing me, they will have basically achieved their goal of cutting off Master's wings. As long as you don't leave Frost City, you will be in no danger."

"Now, I would like to ask you to step outside for a moment. I have something to discuss with the master in person."

"Here!"

Zhuang Bufei and the other two left quickly.

Once only Lu Tong and Wang Wu remained in the council hall, Lu Tong suddenly asked, "So, this was all arranged by my master? I knew it, I knew it, sir, you don't need to say anything more." With that, Lu Tong carefully took out an extremely strange box and handed it to Wang Wu.

Then, looking at the box with a sigh of relief, seemingly reluctant to part with it, he finally sighed after a long while, "My lord, to tell you the truth, I am not as loyal to my master as you think. The reason I pretended to become her disciple is because I have a huge case on my hands. To this day, no one knows that I did it, and I guess even my master doesn't know. But she should be able to tell that I am not sincere, because her path seems to be sincerity."

"So, I think that my master discovered some signs in advance and arranged for you to come forward and save me from this predicament."

"Alas, I am completely convinced. I have no temper with such miraculous methods. My master treats me sincerely, but I harbor evil intentions in my heart. I deserve to die."

"My lord, I'll still call you brother. Brother, I know you must be very confused right now, but I also know that you are very outstanding. Is my master planning to take you as her disciple? Her eyes are particularly good at uncovering guys like you and me who are hiding huge secrets, haha."

"Anyway, I'm waiting for you to become my junior brother."

"Furthermore, please tell my master that I, Lu Tong, have submitted. Therefore, I want to tell you a secret I have kept for nearly 100,000 years. Please also tell my master that—I was the one who killed Xiong Wangjie. No one else knew, but you are now the second person to know. I want to use this secret to express my loyalty—"

"Who is Xiong Wangjie?" Wang Wu asked abruptly.

"Theoretically, he could have ascended to the position of clan leader of the Mangshan Ancient Bear Clan 50,000 years ago, but 100,000 years ago, due to an accident—a real accident—I killed him. Because of this, the Mangshan Ancient Bear Clan even destroyed two Immortal Alliances and three Immortal Clans. To this day, the bounty for the murder of Xiong Wangjie remains the third most wanted person on the Nine Alliances, Three Assemblies, and Two Sects wanted list."

"Do you understand? This is my pledge of allegiance. If I dare to betray Frost Domain or my master, as long as this news is released, I will die without a burial place."

“I know you are also from the Ancient Blood Bear Clan, so I’m giving you this trophy. This is the heart of the Bear King Jie, with a Five Elements Profound Yellow Array engraved on it. You can study it secretly, but I also warn you to be careful. This thing can easily bring you trouble if you’re not careful. But I believe you won’t. A ninth-level Earth Immortal who is favored by my master and entrusted with important responsibilities is definitely not that simple.”

"From this point of view, it is enough to prove that in my master's eyes, you are stronger than all of us. You are my master's true wings for the future. It's just a pity that many people don't realize it."

Lu Tong talked on and on, and Wang Wu didn't even have a chance to interject, but in reality, he didn't know what to say either.

Could it be that Shuangjun is really that amazing, knowing in advance that Lu Tong would face this predicament, yet still confidently going into seclusion to heal her wounds, just because she knows that he, Wang, can perfectly solve this problem?

That's highly unlikely. If it were, wouldn't Frost Lord's precognitive abilities be even more impressive than Gray Lord's?
It can only be said that this is a coincidence, and that Lu Tong is too good at making connections.

"Brother, I entrust this half of my fate to you. Zhuang Bufei and Feng Muhan are like brothers to me, and Qu Shenglian is like a Daoist partner to me. These three are absolutely trustworthy, only slightly inferior in strength. Also, remember, no matter what, never step out of Qing Shuang City."

"I'm leaving, brother, see you later!"

Lu Tong smiled brightly and left directly. Then, Zhuang Bufei and Feng Muhan immediately arranged various charges against him and sent him directly to the No. 1 Great Wilderness Prison.

He's one step ahead of that Yagyu Gen.

All the procedures here are naturally carried out in accordance with the rules of the Hidden Origin Society.

In truth, the Hidden Yuan Society is a large and powerful organization, so it has many rules and regulations, which are not necessarily a bad thing.

But these are not things that Wang Wu needs to consider.

He sat cross-legged right next to the White Tiger Heaven and Earth Needle, just in case.

Next, news kept coming back from Feng Muhan. Everything was just as Wang Wu had predicted. Liu Shengxuan's attack was incredibly sharp. He not only produced some of the bloody evidence of Lu Tong's past crimes when he was a wandering Taiyi, but also passed the emergency motion of the Yinyuan Elder Council.

In just three days, Lu Tong's crime was confirmed.

On the fifth day, led by Elder Hui, two second-rank elders led a large action team directly to the outskirts of Qing Shuang City, carrying the highest order from the Yin Yuan Elder Council, to thoroughly investigate Lu Tong's cave and related personnel.

At the same time, the top-grade Hidden Origin Bell in Qing Shuang City was stripped of its access, and everyone was forbidden from leaving without authorization; those who disobeyed would be killed without mercy.

Lian Zhuangbufei, Feng Muhan, and Qu Shenglian have all been temporarily detained, and they cannot even return to inform others.

Without a doubt, the other party wanted to obtain the most important evidence, not only to kill Lu Tong, but also to severely injure Shuang Jun.

"Even I'm starting to wonder, was all of this part of your plan?"

Inside the council hall, Wang Wu calmly put away the White Tiger Heaven and Earth Needle, including the elixir containing Lu Tong's true form.

Then, he activated the Vermilion Bird Array Soul. In that instant, he clearly sensed the existence of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower. The phantom of the giant tower even appeared within his sight.

But this is something only he can see and sense.

In a flash, Wang Wu had already entered the Great Wilderness Prison Tower. The inescapable net that Liu Shengxuan, Hui Lao, and others had laid outside Qing Shuang City, even going so far as to sever the access to the Hidden Yuan Bell of Qing Shuang City, thought they could seal everything off, but they could not seal the Great Wilderness Prison Tower.

In particular, Wang Wu did not use the power of the Great Wilderness Prison Tower to attack or defend anything, so the fluctuations were almost negligible.

Furthermore, given the limited authority granted to the Vermilion Bird Array Soul, no one could possibly detect it.

At this moment, all the forces of the Hidden Origin Society were silently observing and paying attention. Everyone was waiting for Shuang Jun to return. As long as she returned and exercised her veto power, she could save Lu Tong. This was certain and beyond doubt.

Everyone is speculating how long this unprecedented manhunt will last before it forces Frost Lord to reveal himself.
