The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 527 Intensive Involution
Wang Wu transformed into a gentle breeze, slowly passing over the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance. He didn't even need to actively activate his spiritual energy to perceive it; he could simply passively use his spiritual energy to perceive it, and he could see everything within a radius of ten thousand miles with a single glance.

Surprisingly, the current leader of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance is still the elegant Madam Lu. Back then, she was truly in her prime, but now, when Wang Wu looks at her again, he feels that there is a foul stench emanating from her seemingly beautiful body. The structure of her elixir cultivation is crude and the spiritual energy is so turbid that it makes one want to vomit.

Their souls and spirits have degenerated to the point of being like walking corpses.

Oh, she also has a Gu poison inside her body.

It seems the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance has always maintained strong control over this area.

Wang Wu had no interest in catching up with his old acquaintance, Madam Lu. He looked around the area but couldn't find any survivors of the prison break. Back then, some of the escapees were taken to the puppet Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance, but after thousands of years of fighting, it seemed they were all dead.

There are no lucky ones.

Even Dragon Head City has changed locations three times.

Soon, Wang Wu arrived at the former site of Dragon Head City. The place was now a ruin. The Hidden Origin Society claimed to be neutral, but that was just a facade. It could start a war or deal with any force of the same level at will.

Thinking back to when Senior Sister Qin perished here, Wang Wu still couldn't help but sigh.

Heading north, when passing through the ruins of Dragon Tail City, Wang Wu unexpectedly discovered that the area had turned into a vast swamp.

And hidden within the great swamp was an ancient tree spirit!
"Grandpa Tree?"

Wang Wu almost thought he was seeing things. As far as he knew, Grandpa Tree had died 2,600 years ago. It turned out that the old guy had been hiding something.

With a subtle scan of his spiritual essence, he became even more certain.

That's right, it's Grandpa Tree. He has relied entirely on his own talent to lie low until today. However, he's not in good condition. He's like a confused old man in his twilight years, with many memories gone and only a tangled existence left.

So Wang Wu only glanced at it once more before leaving silently. If his four clowns were still around, perhaps Grandpa Tree's information database would be interested in taking over this broken shell, but now, he had no other choice.

Continuing north, one enters the territory of the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance, the one that has laid out spiritual networks everywhere. But in Wang Wu's eyes now, it is nothing more than a clumsy smokescreen.

But his little hairy friend is still alive, that carp demon, living quite comfortably, what was his name again, right, Er Gou.

Nearly three thousand years have passed, and this place hasn't changed much.

Two dogs on Bear Ridge, Muyang Mountain.

It's quite lucky that Wang Wu left a wisp of divine thought and a single hair here, which has remained dormant peacefully until now.

He stopped above Bear Ridge, a place that had changed hands many times over.

But his little dog, Er Gou, never changed. No, he changed. He became a big mudfish, extremely good at burrowing and digging holes. This was the ultimate display of his stealth.

Nearly three thousand years have passed, and no one knows that a carp demon is hiding here.

But perhaps it's because there's no war going on here.

The Lord of Muyang Mountain is still the same one from back then, while the King of Xijiang has successfully crossed the Dragon Gate and ascended to become the Lord of Xijiang Water. Both of them are now at the first level of Earth Immortal, and they are having a great time fighting each other, just like chickens pecking at each other.

Oh, does the King of Xijiang have a distinguished guest at his door today?
Wang Wu had no intention of paying attention, but since this distinguished guest was a small azure dragon, it was a different story. In particular, this small azure dragon was clearly at the fifth level of Taiyi, but it pretended to be at the fifth level of Earth Immortal. The disguise was quite effective. If it were a level 19 spiritual essence dragon, he would have had to go to great lengths to see through it with his spiritual essence.

This is amazing.

So why would a dignified fifth-level Taiyi Azure Dragon with a legitimate identity do such a thing?
After eavesdropping for a while, Wang Wu found nothing new to hear.

As for?
This is like a college student seriously and attentively doing a third-grade math problem; there must be something fishy going on.

So Wang Wu secretly attached himself to this little green dragon, watching as this fellow talked a lot of nonsense to the King of Xijiang, endured the stench while drinking and exchanging toasts, and even favored several of the King of Xijiang's daughters, acting as if they were one big family.

After that, this guy didn't even leave, completely absorbed in the place. He lingered in the West River King's cave for a full ten years.

Of course, Wang Wu had been waiting outside for ten years.

He admired the little green dragon quite a bit, and of course, he admired himself even more. How bored must one be to do something like that?
Fortunately, in the eleventh year, Wang Wu finally saw new changes.

There seems to be a large project about to start near Muyang Mountain; it's said that a giant city will be built.

Upon hearing this news, the little green dragon who spent his days cuddling with the daughters of the King of Xijiang flew over under the cover of night and hid in the distance to observe the construction of the giant city.

Wang Wu followed behind, observing the construction progress of the little green dragon and the giant city.

At first, he thought that Yin Yuan would build a new branch here. After all, the new Dragon Head City was nowhere to be seen, and such a large blank market had to be seized.

As it turned out, it was the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Alliance that arrived, a powerful force that had once had a good relationship with the Hidden Origin Society. However, he didn't see any familiar faces, nor did he have any. He only recognized Yu Chenghu and that Senior Brother Gu, the latter of whom was now dead.

And so, every night the little green dragon would come to observe, seemingly scouting the area, or perhaps waiting for someone to appear.

Judging from the current situation, this guy really came with malicious intent. What Wang Wu is particularly curious about is that the Azure Dragon clan is extremely powerful, so why isn't this little Azure Dragon enjoying the advantages that come with his identity? Why is he running off to become an assassin?

Furthermore, the Azure Dragon Clan controls the Divine Dragon Immortal Alliance, which is one of the top three most powerful forces in the cultivation world. It truly has a Grand Luo Immortal in charge. Why would they need to use such methods to deal with the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Alliance?
Despite his doubts, Wang Wu continued to wait, knowing that he couldn't afford to give up now.

Time passed day by day, and before you knew it, another five years had passed. The main structure of the giant city had been built, but the little green dragon still made no move, except for going there to scout the location.

Wang Wu felt he couldn't keep up; he was just curious, not really bored.

"Once this city is completely built, I'll leave. Let that mudfish do whatever it wants!"

And so, Wang Wu waited another year until the giant city was finally completed and ready for use.

He was astonished to discover that the little green dragon had transformed into a handsome young man with a completely different aura, and then, with a series of clangs, went to the giant city to take up his post.

It! Damn it, it turns out it's in charge of this giant city, so it really did scout the place in advance, but it was just scouting for itself.

Very cautious!

Wang Wu was speechless; he had thought he had discovered some incredible secret.

That's it?

Wang Wu, feeling cheated, turned and left. But after wandering for tens of thousands of miles, a thought suddenly struck him. He turned back and saw that the newly appointed little green dragon had been assassinated on the spot by two mysterious Taiyi, who then pulled out its tendons and fled!

What the hell is that?
Assassinating the leader and stealing dragon scales—when did the cultivation world become so unsafe?
Wang Wu was stunned. He had thought the little green dragon was acting suspiciously, scouting and investigating various places, but it turned out it was for his own safety. In the end, it was all for naught, and he was still killed.

The two Taiyi cultivators who made the move were at the sixth and seventh rank, respectively. Good heavens, are you really going to such lengths for a dragon tendon? Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Azure Dragon Clan?

Wang Wu felt that many significant changes had probably taken place in the past thousand years.

No, he needs to go back to the Hidden Origin Society first. Hmm? Wait a minute!
The Myriad Immortal Alliance has sent someone. They reacted very quickly. No, it's Yu Chenghu who has arrived!

Wang Wu had a deep impression of this person. He was at the eighth level of Taiyi, and his overall strength was no less than that of Shuangjun, and even stronger than Shuangjun. He wondered if he had successfully exchanged for the fourth-level Foundation Establishment Formation.

It had only been a thousand years, yet Yu Chenghu appeared somewhat exhausted. Even he couldn't catch up with the murderer and left after investigating for a while.

As a result, this newly built megacity was closed again.

Wang Wu continued on his journey, this time heading straight for Qing Shuang City. He lingered briefly along the way, passing by the Great Wilderness Prison Tower.

There are many Sin Prison Towers here; it seems the entire cultivation world has built Sin Prison Towers here, making it like a cemetery.

There are hundreds of prison towers scattered across a vast area, which is a very high density.

There is obviously a reason for this, because this region is theoretically the lowest dimension of the cultivation world, where the yin and yang energies are relatively stable.

This also means that the foundation is relatively solid, which is very conducive to construction.

Most of these prison towers were unguarded.

Some are surrounded by weeds, like a large rock standing there.

Some of them are surrounded by dilapidated buildings.

The prison tower, occasionally guarded, is surrounded by several ordinary villages or towns.

However, Wang Wu also saw a prison tower that was about to be completed.

In short, it's just bizarre and absurd.

Each of these prison towers is like an independent little world.

He even specifically sought out the Great Wilderness Prison Tower of the Hidden Yuan Society.

They found it, but they couldn't get in. Without the array spirit, no one could enter.

I don't know how Qingxue's three calamities have evolved, but she is definitely safe inside.

Wang Wu continued on his journey, observing and gathering intelligence along the way. As a result, he witnessed five battles between Taiyi True Immortals. They were all fierce, blatant, and cruel, with no restraint whatsoever. They fought quickly and effectively, looting everything after each kill and leaving without lingering.

It was as if the entire cultivation world had reverted to its tradition of killing and plundering overnight.

The competition has intensified.

Wang Wu was filled with worry, and when he was still six months away from Qing Shuang City, he gave up on going there. This was because the battlefield lay ahead, a massive battlefield covering tens of millions of miles, which, with the help of cities and eternal immortal artifacts, formed a sealing immortal array that directly cut off the road ahead.
