In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 358 The Maigou Plan! (4.2K views, please subscribe!)

As soon as Chen Nuoyi asked this question, everyone in the flying boat turned their gaze to Wuluo Zhenjun.

The red-haired woman didn't rush to answer; her eyes flickered, becoming deep and mysterious.

She leaned her delicate body slightly against the soft chair, crossed her long, voluptuous legs, and wrapped her bare, white arms around her chest, creating an astonishing curve.

This made Su Yuan, who was sitting directly opposite, subconsciously turn his head away, pretending to be very busy, but it was unclear what he was busy with.

Don't look at anything inappropriate.

What's more, this is an elder with whom he has a special relationship.

After choosing a suitable sitting posture, True Monarch Wuluo slowly said:
"You should have heard about the current situation in the cultivation world. Besides our Blue Star Federation, there are many other worlds in the starry sky that, like us, have received more or less the inheritance of the ancient cultivation world."

"The world in the starry sky is divided into three levels: large, medium, and small. All of them are targets that we can conquer."

"But besides that, there are powerful cultivation civilizations in the starry sky that are beyond the scope of the Great World and are at the same level as the Blue Star Federation."

"This level of world is called the main world. To be defined as a world of this level, one must have at least ten major worlds under one's command. They are our formidable enemies."

Su Yuan nodded slightly, not surprised by this statement.

His master, Tai Bai Tianji, had previously told him something similar: there might be a powerful force in the starry sky that could threaten the Blue Star Federation's homeland.

The federal army is prepared for such an enemy.

"So, is that so-called mysterious plan related to the main world in the starry sky?"

Su Yuan took the initiative to ask a question.

Wu Luo Zhenjun nodded:

"Thanks to the efforts of the exploration team led by the Ten Heavenly Kings, we have pinpointed the approximate location of a main world and learned about certain aspects of its interior."

"If the Heavenly Lords are correct, there are no Nascent Soul cultivators born after the spiritual energy revival in this main world."

"Because the geniuses who were expected to become gods have been suppressed by the ancient powerful beings who had already mastered this world, the path to immortality has been cut off."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan and the others subconsciously frowned.

Wu Luo Zhenjun continued:
"You guessed right. These so-called ancient powerful beings are very likely among the thirty-six human deities who survived from the ancient cultivation world."

"But no one knows exactly which ones they are. All investigative methods are blocked by a mysterious space called the 'Immortal Realm'."

"Only by ascending to the Immortal Realm and joining the ranks of immortals can one face the countless and unknown human gods."

Fairyland?

No, what era are we living in? Why is the concept of a celestial realm still popular?
Don't you know that the trope of ascending to a new map has been overused?
And if you ascend to immortality, then it's a bit much that your cultivation level limit didn't change!
A bunch of Nascent Soul cultivators dare to call themselves immortals? Don't the True Immortals who only appear in the later stages of the game do anything about it?

Su Yuan could barely suppress his urge to complain.

"So, what exactly does this have to do with the mysterious plan we're going to be involved in?"

After suppressing his overwhelming urge to complain, Su Yuan asked:
"We can't expect a few of us young people to fight against the Nascent Soul stage, can we?"

Wu Luo Zhenjun thought about it seriously:

No, but close enough.

Huh? What does "more or less" mean?
Not only Su Yuan, but Chen Nuoyi and the others also couldn't control their expressions and showed surprise.

Then the red-haired mature woman said calmly:
"The project you are going to participate in is jointly initiated by the ten major immortal sects, with the main objectives being to resist the hostile main world and investigate the cause of the ancient immortal tribulation."

"Because the difficulties and obstacles ahead of you are like an insurmountable iron wall, this plan is called..."

"The Wallfacer Project?"

Su Yuan instinctively answered first.

The red-haired woman paused, gave Su Yuan a captivating glare, and then continued:
"It was called the Maigou Project."

“Mai means to overcome all difficulties and obstacles, and Gou means to survive all crises and calamities by means of survival.”

Su Yuan: "...Who came up with this project name?"

Wu Luo Zhenjun proudly raised his chin.

The name is excellent, and it perfectly reflects Qi Hanyue's taste. Please don't use the same name again next time!
"Ahem, to put it simply, the Maigou Plan is to have you infiltrate the target world."

"You must climb step by step, step by step, to the highest point, until you ascend to the Immortal Realm and meet the original form of the ancient God."

"Once the undercover agents have located the coordinates of the Immortal Realm and confirmed the location of the Nascent Soul cultivators, the Ten Heavenly Sovereigns will join forces to wipe out all the immortals in the Immortal Realm!"

"At that time, we will obtain a wealth of information about the Immortal Tribulation and lay a solid foundation for conquering the starry sky."

Su Yuan: "..."

After a long silence, he finally said, speechless:
"No, Senior Wuluo, we are all just Foundation Establishment stage kids. How many years would it take for us to infiltrate all the way to the Immortal Realm!"

"Three years after three years, three years after three years... Do we still have a chance to come back?"

Wu Luo Zhenjun patiently explained:

"That so-called Immortal Realm is not a very high-class place. In fact, in that main world, as long as a cultivator is exceptionally talented and has made outstanding contributions, the Golden Core stage cultivator has the opportunity to ascend to the Immortal Realm and face the 'Immortals and Gods' directly."

"The reason why the executors of the Maigou Project are chosen from college students in the Foundation Establishment stage is very simple—they will be imbued with the aura of the world in which they condense their Golden Core."

"This aura is as bright as a candle in the dark for a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"Therefore, an undercover agent must infiltrate during the Foundation Establishment stage and break through to the Golden Core stage in that world in order to have a chance to achieve their goal."

Su Yuan thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with the logic.

But then another thought occurred to him, and he became wary:
"If I form my core in another world, won't my core registration be in that other world? Will this affect my ability to take the civil service exam or the postgraduate entrance exam?"

The red-haired older woman reached out and patted Su Yuan's head with a smile:

"Silly child, once we conquer that world and make it part of our territory, won't your Danji be returned?"

Su Yuan suddenly realized.

But soon, he shook his head violently.

No, I haven't agreed to participate in this project yet, why am I thinking so much?

This ridiculous plan sounds extremely dangerous. To actually cause trouble right under the noses of a bunch of ancient human gods is practically suicide!
Su Yuan only wanted to be a wealthy man with financial freedom; he had never risked his life against anyone since he began cultivating.

He didn't want to do something like infiltrating the enemy camp alone as an undercover agent, where he could lose his head at any moment.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan said decisively:
“My Lord, I am only a freshman in college and cannot shoulder such a heavy responsibility.”

As he spoke, he grabbed Chen Nuoyi and Qi Hanyue's hands and said:

"Those two, and Zhu Tianqing, and Leng Qianliu are the same, they just want to study hard!"

After a pause, Su Yuan began to shift the blame elsewhere:
"I think Xuan Haoran is quite good. Look at the drive in his eyes, and his abilities are outstanding. He deserves to make such an extraordinary achievement and pave the way for the Nascent Soul stage with great momentum!"

"what?"

Xuan Haoran stared wide-eyed at his dead fish eyes.

No, which eye of yours saw me as enthusiastic? I just want to go home and play video games, okay?

Besides, I'm clearly a member of the Yuan Cult, okay? Why are you only protecting the female cadres and ignoring me, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings?

Double standard dog!
Wu Luo Zhenjun was not surprised at all by Su Yuan's shameless answer. She said with an understanding expression:

"Of course you can quit. We never force young people. It's all voluntary."

Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next second, Wu Luo Zhenjun said casually:

"By the way, that main world called the Heavenly Law World contains valuable knowledge passed down from the ancient Nascent Soul stage."

Leng Qianliu suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes becoming bright.

"The environment of the Celestial Law World is more primitive and more suitable for the survival of spirit beasts. Many spirit beasts and alien species that have become extinct in the Blue Star Federation still exist in large numbers in the Celestial Law World."

Zhu Tianqing pricked up her ears, and the pure white wings on her back opened and closed like breathing, revealing the excitement in the girl's heart.

“I remember that in the world of Heavenly Law, mortals greatly admired cultivators. The arrival of any cultivator would be met with the utmost respect and worship from mortals, and they would be treated with the highest honors.”

Qi Hanyue blinked her gray eyes, as if she had thought of something very happy, and chuckled.

Seeing his three top lieutenants fall for him at lightning speed, Su Yuan was speechless.

No, you three are way too easily tested!

It seems that we haven't given you enough ideological education classes. We must focus on this aspect when we get back.

Fortunately, Su Yuan was relieved to find that Chen Nuoyi remained unmoved in the face of the various temptations of the Heavenly Law World.

Excellent! As expected of the Vice Leader of our Yuan Sect, you are trustworthy!

But at that moment, True Monarch Wuluo spoke again, his tone full of seductive meaning:

"If the Celestial Law World can be incorporated into the Federation's territory, the executor of the Maigou Project, as the initial pioneer, will have the power to designate sects or families to reside there."

"The rise and fall of a family depends on the whim of the person who executes the plan. Driven by interests, even the most vengeful enemies will personally visit to seek such an opportunity for development."

Su Yuan's heart tightened upon hearing this.

Oh no, those words were directed at Noe!
Noyi's goal has always been to reclaim the position of head of the Chen family and trample her grandfather underfoot.

She would never give up such a quick opportunity to get to the Chen family!
With a nervous heart, Su Yuan turned to look at the blue-haired, golden-eyed girl beside him, and sure enough, he found that she was interested.

However, in the end, the girl shook her head firmly and gripped Su Yuan's hand even tighter.

Greatness needs no further explanation!

Su Yuan's lips curled into a confident smile.

As long as there are people standing by my side, no matter how tempting the conditions you, True Lord Wuluo, offer, I will resolutely refuse them!

Then, Su Yuan saw the red-haired mature woman's captivating eyes fall on him, and she slowly spoke:
"The Celestial Law World is, after all, an undeveloped world. Before it is actually occupied by the Federation, the plan executors can be exempted from any action they take against this world, as long as it is not against humanity."

"For example, acquiring land rapidly... building factories on a large scale... and recruiting large numbers of workers at local wage levels..."

"Please let me join this project!"

Su Yuan said without hesitation.

Chen Nuoyi, standing to the side, smiled helplessly but was not surprised, as if she had already anticipated that things would develop this way.

However, she could understand why Su Yuan was so moved.

Because once Su Yuan arrives in the Celestial Law World, he can develop the Yuan Cult without any restrictions.

In a world not governed by modern rule of law, the control over demonic cults is extremely weak. Once the plan is completed, who knows how far the Yuan Cult will have developed?

The benefits that the Yuan religion provided to the Su Yuan dynasty after its development are self-evident.

The girl sighed and solemnly said to True Monarch Wuluo:

“Master, I am also willing to join this plan.”

With the top two leaders of the Yuan Sect joining the plan, Qi Hanyue and the others naturally felt no more guilty and all agreed.

Of course, Su Yuan's quick agreement was not entirely due to greed, but rather because he had carefully considered the pros and cons of the plan.

It's impossible to say that the Maigou Plan had absolutely no risks.

However, the risks are completely within a controllable range.

After all, behind the executor of the plan is a powerful cultivation civilization with ten Nascent Soul stage experts in charge.

Various top-tier immortal technologies will become a powerful support for Su Yuan and other executors.

Furthermore, if this plan is truly extremely risky, would Wuluo Zhenjun and the Ten Heavenly Lords be willing to send their own children and disciples to the Heavenly Law World?
The Celestial Tribulation could descend at any moment, and this opportunity to expand one's influence and enhance one's strength must be seized.

He backed down in this plan, no problem, but where should he retreat to when the celestial tribulation arrives in the future?
"Well, congratulations to the six of you for joining the sacred Maigou Project. I sincerely hope that you can continue to Maigou."

"If there are no problems, I will now begin to explain the formal details of the plan."

The red-haired woman nodded in satisfaction.

"Um, I haven't said I'd join yet..."

Xuan Haoran weakly raised his hand.

The temptations and benefits mentioned earlier held no appeal for him, who was solely focused on playing games.

Although the Heavenly Law World is a main world on par with the Blue Star Federation, that godforsaken place has no spiritual network and is primitive and backward. Wouldn't going there kill Xuan Haoran?

Wu Luo Zhenjun glanced casually at Xuan Haoran and said indifferently:
"Your father has made the decision for you; you absolutely must go on this trip."

Xuan Haoran: "..."

This divine son, whose family background stands at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, experienced the misfortune brought about by his original family for the first time.

The red-haired woman ignored Xuan Haoran's gloomy face and solemnly said:
"Before you officially begin your undercover work, you need to do some preliminary preparations."

"First, you must learn the unique language of the Celestial Law World and understand its various cultures."

"Secondly, you need to choose a complete Nascent Soul inheritance to improve your own strength. You must learn it thoroughly before you begin your undercover work. With the help of Su Yuan's miraculous pills, I think this will not be a difficult task."

"Finally, you should gradually fade out of the sight of those around you under the pretext of going into seclusion or gaining experience, and you must not reveal the Maigou Plan to anyone who is unaware of it."

Su Yuan and the others could understand the first two points, but the last one left them somewhat puzzled.

"Master, is the reason why the Maigou Plan is kept so secret? Is it because we also have spies from the Heavenly Law World on our own soil?"

The red-haired mature woman smiled faintly:
"That's natural. There might be other spies from the main world that we don't know about, hiding right among us."

Everyone was immediately gripped by a chilling sense of dread.

So the situation in the Blue Star Federation was already this dire behind the scenes!
