The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 575 The Four Clowns Return to the Scene

Ahead seemed to be a bridge, and Wang Wu walked across it silently.

Mist occasionally drifted by, but it never obscured his direction. Then, closer and closer, he was able to successfully sense the illumination of Yin and Yang energies. Over there, gongs and drums were beating loudly, creating a lively atmosphere. He was like a vegetable trapped in his own world, successfully awakened by the calls of his relatives and friends.

When he took that step, the bridge disappeared, the seven-colored glow vanished, leaving only a quiet Ascension Platform and the lonely illumination of nine yin and yang energies.

There was no one around, nor did Da Luo appear, but Wang Wu could feel that he was like an astronaut who had returned to Earth after going to another planet, afraid of bringing back some parasites.

He needs to be isolated and exposed to radiation to prevent any form of contamination.

No one came to negotiate with him.

It seems everyone's feelings are complicated; they left at twenty-four, but returned alone.

Even if those people didn't die, the Seven-Colored Cloud Light Passage was destroyed, so they can forget about coming back. This includes those who didn't make it back two thousand years ago; they have no chance anymore.

He might be treated as a criminal!

Wang Wu thought to himself helplessly, but it seemed to be true.

The expedition team had always been extremely cautious, operating only on the fringes. They dared not attract even a mere Immortal Lord of the Chi Clan, let alone the Supreme Heavenly Emperor of the Chi Clan. Yet, he had stirred up too much trouble.

From then on, a supreme Heavenly Emperor of the Chi Clan, comparable to a Great Luo Immortal, guarded that place; anyone who went there would surely die.

Furthermore, that absurdly realistic illusion we just witnessed is enough to prove a lot.

Because truly masterful illusions always use the most authentic truth to cover up even the smallest lie.

Therefore, this can only prove three things.

First, everything said in the illusion is true.

Secondly, the expedition team likely harbored a high-profile target, but it was wiped out by the Supreme Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan.

Thirdly, he is in a precarious situation at the moment.

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard the voice of that cheap master.

"Wang Wu, calm down. I am aware of the whole incident. This is not your fault. Expeditions are always a matter of life and death. Although we suffered heavy losses this time, you successfully retrieved the remains of the Demon Clan Immortal Lord. This is of great importance to our deduction of the ecological changes in the Dao Fire Realm."

"Now, leave behind those three bodies of the Demon Clan Immortal Lords, and you can leave. But I suggest you immediately go into seclusion to nurture your soul, irradiate the Yin and Yang energies, and comprehend the One Great Dao. The illusion created by the Demon Clan Supreme Heavenly Emperor has caused you permanent damage. You have already fallen for its treacherous scheme in your subconscious. It made you believe that only one part of the illusion was wrong, and the rest was all real. Such a method is truly remarkable. If you believe it, its intention will succeed."

"Here!"

Wang Wu was startled, but dared not think any further. That supreme Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan was truly formidable.

He then removed the three corpses of the demon race immortals and left them behind. A stream of yin and yang energy constantly shone on him, guiding him forward until he left this mysterious barrier.

Even after emerging, he couldn't see anyone else. It seemed that the entire Xuantian Sect's mountain gate in the Celestial Realm had been isolated, as if Wang Wu carried some kind of uncontrollable power.

Wang Wu went straight back to his meditation hall.

Almost immediately after he entered, the entire cultivation hall was once again illuminated by the nine streams of Yin and Yang energy, which also served as a form of isolation.

Good heavens, so you twelve Great Luo Immortals don't have a better way to deal with this illusion in the Dao Fire Realm?

I thought you guys were so awesome, able to strategize and win against the outside world without making a sound, but it turns out you're just on par with the Dao Fire Realm.

Of course, Wang Wu only thought about these words, because the Great Immortal Cultivation Realm was currently on guard against the Dao Fire Realm launching a counter-offensive.

Because those expedition team members who were trapped in the Dao Fire Realm almost completely exposed the true nature of the One Great Dao.

However, there is also good news: the three corpses of the Chi Clan Immortal Lords that Wang Wu brought back this time should be able to help these twelve Great Luo Immortals deduce more.

In short, what follows is no longer an expedition, but a war.

The struggle between the One Great Dao and the Dao Fire Realm.

Thinking this, Wang Wu sighed, glanced at Shuang Jun who was still asleep, and then looked at the five memorial tablets beside him. After thinking for a moment, he decided to call out the five of them.

These five people were quite unhappy about it.

"Wang Wu, what do you want with us? Our strength and knowledge are no longer of much help to you, so don't make us humiliate ourselves. I suggest you have a child with Shuang Jun right away. It shouldn't be difficult for you."

The four clowns muttered to themselves.

"Gentlemen, I need your help." Wang Wu said very seriously, but the next second, the four clowns jumped out, only his mother-in-law remained silent.

"I'm old and don't want to cause any more trouble. Let the four clowns jump around with you. And don't bother me anymore, unless my grandson is born!"

Ignoring the man's complaints, and besides, Wang Wu hadn't intended for it to join anyway.

Because what he's about to do is somewhat risky.

"Wang Wu, tell me what exactly happened."

"Let me state this in advance: the risks are very high. If you want to withdraw, you can do so now."

"Bullshit, we're not afraid of risks. Come on, kid, can you show us something?"

The four clowns were quite dissatisfied.

Wang Wu smiled slightly and said, "You're being stubborn, aren't you? I hope you can keep being stubborn."

He immediately closed his eyes, activated the fifth-order cat formation, and manifested the Three Calamities. Before long, a strange wooden monster was manifested.

Yes, it's not spoils of war, it's something he evolved, something that exists in his mind and memory. Even those Great Luo Immortals couldn't say anything about it.

They can't just erase his memory.

Therefore, based on the evolution of the three calamities, he can do this.

Because he always felt that this strange wooden lump was different from the Chi tribe, it was like a mushroom covered with remnants of the old order, full of decay.

Considering the characteristics of the Dao Fire Realm, the ecosystem undergoes a major transformation every so often, with the previous generation of protagonists being wiped out and defeated, and a new protagonist emerging triumphantly.

Therefore, he had every reason to suspect that this wooden lump was the protagonist of the previous generation in the Dao Fire Realm, but was later replaced by the Chi Clan.

Therefore, as long as you study it carefully, even if it is not the original, it will be of great significance.

"Huh? This looks like one of my kind."

Among the four clowns, Grandpa Tree's information database suddenly spoke.

"I want to leave this structure... ah, I feel like I'm coming back to life!" "You can leave!"

Wang Wu approved it.

"No, that won't do. There's a risk. I can sense a strong sense of malice emanating from this block of wood. The source of that malice might be cursed," the other three clowns shouted.

"It's alright, the risk is manageable."

Wang Wu nodded. What a joke. This isn't the original. It's just a piece of wood that he's transformed. What can it possibly produce?

The next moment, with his tacit approval, Grandpa Tree's information database broke free from the structure of the four clowns, becoming an independent entity, and rushed into that wooden lump with joy and ecstasy.

At the same time, Wang Wu activated his Spiritual Aura Insight to record all the changes.

What surprised him most was that the Tree Grandpa's information database, combined with that wooden lump, truly gave him the feeling of transforming into a dragon when encountering favorable winds and clouds.

The wooden monster he evolved was just a fake, but the Tree Grandpa's information database was able to quickly achieve a match of over 90%, and this match was still rapidly increasing.

"Not enough, this is not enough. I need to unleash my power, Wang Wu, give me more power!"

Grandpa Tree's information database shouted.

Without hesitation, Wang Wu extracted a hundred special golden divine lightning bolts from his Yang Lightning, which he had also absorbed from the strange fruits of those wood monsters.

Previously, he had hidden them and integrated them into the Three Calamities.

The effect of those one hundred special golden divine lightning bolts striking down was absolutely explosive.

Just like the spring thunder that brings life to all things.

The wood monster that had evolved suddenly came to life. Its ugly shell fell off, and it sprouted new buds!

I'm rough!

Wang Wu was stunned.

Because this scene is equivalent to deviating from his three calamities evolution!

It's like he bought a doll, admired it from time to time, and then one day, at some point, it suddenly became pregnant – how terrifying!
Because this is simply impossible; it is an evolutionary process. How could a new structural state be formed outside of the evolution of the three calamities?

It was terrifying, but also incredibly exciting.

Wang Wu did not stop it, but watched with delight as the information database of the Wood Monster and Grandpa Tree gradually broke free from its original evolved shell, as miraculously and mysteriously as a cicada shedding its shell.

In the end, it turned into a palm-sized, grenade-like lump of tree root, with three thin branches floating on it, each with three leaves hanging from it. At first glance, it was quite cute!

However, Wang Wu's level 27 danger perception and level 27 warning were both triggering.

His intuition told him that this was the Wood Monster, the protagonist's juvenile form before it was entangled by the remnants of the old folks and mushrooms, and before it was abandoned by the ecosystem of the Dao Fire Realm.

That's a bit too incredible.

So this kind of wooden monster has an even more abnormal vitality than plants, which is probably spread through curse memes.

Wang Wu was not surprised but rather pleased.

He didn't even want to study it. He grabbed the small clump of tree roots and left the cultivation hall. The next second, he was sensed by a Great Luo Immortal.

Then, three old guys suddenly appeared in front of him.

One of them was his cheap master, but in front of the other two Great Luo Immortals, his cheap master was slightly inferior, appearing timid and submissive.

Without saying a word, Wang Wu simply picked up the lump of food and handed it over.

One of them, with a flourish of his sleeve, put it away and then looked at Wang Wu with considerable satisfaction.

Without saying anything, he left in a flash.

Only Wang Wu's cheap master was left behind.

“You did a good job. Curses that can be spread through the memory of the soul are actually very troublesome. It’s not that you can’t handle them yourself, but you might not handle them perfectly and leave behind troubles. It’s simpler to leave them to us to deal with.”

"This is your reward."

After saying that, three beams of golden light descended once more.

When Wang Wu put it away and looked up again, his cheap master was gone. Apart from that, he could clearly feel that the level of isolation around him had dropped by one level.

Wonderful!

With a slight smile, Wang Wu returned to the cultivation hall, while the three clowns were already stunned.

"You... you just sold Grandpa Tree's information database like that?"

"Otherwise, is there any other way?" Wang Wu asked rhetorically.

"But you should keep it. As a special organism from the outside world, with the help of Grandpa Tree's information database, we might be able to gain even more."

It's still a pity about the three clowns.

Wang Wu just smiled and didn't say anything. Actually, he really wanted to say that the male and female protagonists in horror movies think the same way!
What a joke!

That was the previous protagonist of the Dao Fire Realm. The other party was able to recreate it just by relying on his memories. How heaven-defying is that? Perhaps in the Dao Fire Realm, because the ecology is different, they can only be cowardly old remnants. But coming to their great cultivation world, they might thrive like fish in water, and cause a large-scale outbreak, forming a mad disaster of wood monsters.

What gives him the confidence to fight back? You have to understand that his very soul is his weakness.

Only an idiot would bother to research this.

Even if he were to actually conduct the research, he might not necessarily fail, but to say there are no risks is something even a dog wouldn't believe.

Since that's the case, why take the risk? Just hand it over to Da Luo; that would be much easier. After all, whatever results Da Luo researches will be given to him anyway. After all, can Da Luo directly participate in the expedition?

The Great Luo cannot embark on distant expeditions.

So if we make new discoveries or discover new methods, why not let the vanguard use them?

Ronaldo isn't stupid, is he?

Now, he and those great Luo Immortals are in the same camp. They all share the same path, and because their interests align, that's enough.
