The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 531 A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix
What the hell?

Wang Wu was taken aback, and this time he dared not underestimate his opponent. He immediately clasped his hands in greeting again, "You have excellent eyesight, sir. I am indeed Wang Wu. Then, are you perhaps also a member of the Hidden Origin Society? Wait, you are—"

Wang Wu finally realized that although the other party was a middle-aged man, his gray robe looked really familiar.

Gray-haired!
His former master!
Oh dear, what a small world!
"Senior—how did you end up like this?"

Wang Wu gave an awkward laugh, already preparing to run away.

"Am I so worthless that you won't even call me 'Master' anymore!"

The gray-haired old man opposite him spoke calmly, his expression unchanging, showing no regret whatsoever.

Wang Wu gave another awkward laugh, "Since you've come, senior, then this city is yours. Until we meet again!"

"Don't you want to know where Frost Lord is now?" Gray Elder suddenly said. These words immediately made Wang Wu stop in his tracks. He could ignore other things, but when it came to Frost Lord, he had to hear it.

"Please enlighten me, senior."

"Hmph! I knew there was something going on between you two! How laughable that I interfered back then, thinking I was being too clever. You didn't become master and disciple, but instead became Daoist partners! The ways of the world are indeed unpredictable."

Old Grey sneered, "Frost Lord should be imprisoned in the Second Grade Sin Prison now. A thousand years ago, the Nine Heavens Passage under the Frost Domain was destroyed. Frost Lord took the blame himself and was sentenced to imprisonment for three thousand years. He actually escaped a calamity because the Hidden Origin Society suffered a heavy blow afterward. Hidden Origin God Lord began to purge internally. Otherwise, do you think someone like Song Guangming would be qualified to take up an important branch altar here?"

"Back then, even I was caught off guard. But I was all alone, and when I saw things were going wrong, I immediately fled. I managed to escape several times from the Dark Domain and survive until now. Now, the Twelve Great Luo Immortals have closed the Nine Heavens Passage and built the Twelve Celestial Realms. Haha, they have completely cut off that old codger Yin Yuan Divine Lord's path to becoming a Great Luo Immortal. He deserves it!"

"However, I never expected your strength to advance so quickly. I still remember when I first met you, you were only at the fourth or fifth level of Earth Immortal. In less than three thousand years, your strength has already caught up with the sixth level of Taiyi. Such speed is truly rare in the world!"

"So, what's your plan? Tell me. We've been master and disciple for a time, would I possibly harm you?"

Believe it or not.

However, he is still a little more trustworthy than other Taiyi. Most importantly, Elder Hui is also an eighth-level Taiyi. His call to action is better than him using the name of Lu Wuchang.

At that moment, Wang Wu pondered and said, "The Great Wilderness City won't let us enter. Although I don't know why, I think the Spirit-Capturing Ship might not let them go. So it's necessary to form a passive pincer movement. We have to borrow their power, whether we want to or not. I'm thinking of making some arrangements here. Even if we can attract dozens of Taiyi, we can form our own power."

"However, there is a problem at the moment. Could you please give me some guidance?"

"Your idea is quite unique. You must have a plan, but you just don't want to say it. Very well, I do have three strategies: superior, middle, and inferior!"

"The best strategy is to break through the Great Wilderness City and force your way in. The current leader of the Great Wilderness City is Xiong Wanglu, the branch patriarch of the Mangshan Ancient Bear Clan. He is a muddle-headed and incompetent man who only has his current strength because of his ancestral bloodline, but he is just an old fool! You, Wang Wu, are a direct descendant of Xiong Wangjie. You can take his place!"

"I will contact many Taiyi for you. As long as you are willing to reveal your true form, they will surely respond in unison and attack the Great Wilderness City. The situation can be reversed in no time."

"What about the middle strategy?" Wang Wu had to admit that Elder Hui's method was not bad, but that would mean losing the advantage of being able to support the Great Wilderness City from both sides.

"The middle strategy is to still reveal your identity as a direct descendant of Xiong Wangjie, declare yourself the city lord of Great Wilderness City outside the city, and hope to gain the help of many Taiyi. They want to enter Great Wilderness City, and will inevitably support you on the surface. You can take this opportunity to form a new Immortal Alliance, without attacking the city, and just stay outside Great Wilderness City. When the spirit-capturing ship arrives, under pressure, I don't believe that Xiong Wanglu will not give in. As long as we are allowed to enter the city, fighting against the spirit-capturing ship will be a piece of cake, and even fighting against a half-step Great Luo will not be a problem."

"I understand. So, my idea of ​​deploying here is actually a poor strategy, right?"

"That's right, that's a poor strategy. You are a royal descendant of the Mangshan Ancient Bear Clan, yet you don't know how to utilize this advantage. You're so mistaken!"

Hearing this, Wang Wu pondered for a moment, then clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I am willing to use Xiong Wangjie's name to proclaim that I am the true master of the Great Wilderness City. However, I will not attack the Great Wilderness City, nor will I take the middle course. Instead, I will set up a base here. Senior, could you lend me a hand?"

Old Gray stared coldly at Wang Wu for a while, seemingly lost in thought. After a long silence, he finally said, "It seems you either have no understanding of the current situation, or you really have something to rely on. Fine, I underestimated you back then, which led to things getting worse and out of control. Now, I'll risk my life to trust you one more time."

"I will help you contact those wandering Taiyi and Earth Immortals and gather as many people as possible. As for the method of defending the city, it is actually simple. Just deploy the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Immortal Formation. This immortal formation can allow up to three hundred Taiyi to enter the formation. This immortal formation can ensure that the attack pressure on each Taiyi is the same and there will be no favoritism. You should know that what everyone is most worried about and concerned about now is that we will be doing the work for others."

"With this divine array, the trouble will be over."

"Moreover, the biggest feature of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Immortal Array is that the control is not in the hands of one person. Whoever occupies a node of the array is the controller of that node. They can leave or stay as they please, completely autonomously, and will not be controlled by anyone else. This also solves the biggest trust problem."

"However, the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Immortal Formation is the core immortal formation of the Phoenix Clan. Ordinary people have no chance to master it, and it is extremely costly to deploy. Although I have the method of deployment and some of the deployment materials, I am still lacking too much. Are you confident?"

"This junior is willing to give it a try! As long as what you say is true."

Wang Wu was still somewhat confident.

The old man snorted coldly, "I know that you have a hidden dragon tendon in your body, so you possess the Azure Dragon Clan's talent for discerning subtle details. Therefore, theoretically, there is no problem. As for your doubts about what I said, hmph, do you think you are the only one with a background and secrets? Don't you know that I was once a demon immortal of the Divine Wood Immortal Alliance? However, I was transformed from a gray sparrow and cultivated for two hundred thousand years to achieve this level of cultivation. The hardships I endured are best left unsaid."

"And you, with only five thousand years of cultivation, are comparable to my one hundred thousand years of arduous cultivation? There's simply no way to argue with that."

"Alright, the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Immortal Formation is here, and the necessary materials are also here. It depends on your speed, because the spirit-capturing ship may appear at any time." After saying this, Old Gray threw down a jade slip and a Qiankun bag, then turned and left.

This time he was truly generous.

Wang Wu quickly examined the jade slip and found it to be true; it was indeed a celestial array, extremely difficult to deploy. Not only did it require a vast amount of materials, but it also consumed a significant amount of spiritual energy, at least 500 billion points.

Given this scarcity of spiritual energy, it's no wonder that the cunning and shrewd Old Gray was willing to place a bet.

However, it's worth a try.

Because Wang Wu really needs to unite all the Taiyi to help him fight against the half-step Daluo.

Because when the news of the destruction of the spirit-catching ship spread, there was a real chance that a half-step Grand Luo cultivator could deduce that it was his doing.

So what are 500 billion points of spiritual energy? Even if he spent all 1 trillion points of spiritual energy, he would still make money effortlessly.

Those three thousand long sails alone represent an unimaginable fortune.

Let's do this deal!
You can’t catch a wolf without risking your child.

Without hesitation, Wang Wu activated his Level 24 Spiritual Acuity Insight to conduct a comprehensive analysis and understanding of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Immortal Formation. This was his advantage, and also an inherent advantage of the Azure Dragon Clan.

In a short while, the layout of the immortal formation was already clear to him.

Immediately, he took the Hidden Yuan Bell as the center and the main array eye, and began to deploy it quickly. The materials were all readily available. No one knew how many years Old Hui had been saving them, or how he had left the Divine Wood Immortal Alliance. He probably dreamed of returning to the Divine Wood Immortal Alliance for the rest of his life.

Haha, this old sparrow!

For a full day and night, Wang Wu successfully deployed a watered-down version of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Immortal Formation. It wasn't that he lacked ability, but rather that he didn't have enough materials, so in reality, it could only accommodate one hundred and eighty Taiyi cultivators.

Even so, he spent 700 billion points of spiritual energy.

Fortunately, it's already operational.

"Excellent! I have long heard of Xiong Wangwu's name, and seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved!"

With a long laugh, a figure flashed, and a True Immortal of the seventh level of Taiyi appeared out of nowhere. Without saying a word, he occupied a node in the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Immortal Formation.

Then, without stopping, he took out a semi-finished product that appeared to be an eternal immortal artifact and set it up on its own.

It's only natural.

However, this is normal, because the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Immortal Array is so magical, it is like an operating system, an immortal array platform, which allows many Taiyi to exist simultaneously, sharing the pressure and risks, but can still ensure its own operation.

Just like the hundreds of apps on a mobile phone, they don't interfere with each other.

So, this is a smart person.

Almost simultaneously, several more figures rushed in, without even greeting Wang Wu, and each selected a node in the immortal array to begin their deployment.

These are all Taiyi seventh-level and Taiyi sixth-level old hands, the kind of guys who won't act until they see a clear benefit.

But if they really have the opportunity, they will never hesitate.

In fact, hundreds of Taiyi warriors rushed in from all directions, as if they had been waiting in the distance for Wang Wu to successfully deploy his forces.

Startled, Wang Wu hurriedly guarded the central position of the Hidden Origin Bell.

In just a short while, all 180 nodes of the immortal array were filled, but Taiyi continued to arrive in an endless stream.

But there were no more stalls available.

At this moment, Elder Hui finally appeared, laughing heartily as he took out various materials. He helped with the deployment, but the spiritual energy had to be provided by himself. In a short time, he managed to set up fifty more Taiyi.

But that's about it.

The remaining Taiyi and many more immortals are still arriving in droves. They can settle in the small town, but their status will likely be lower.
