Chapter 472: Chapter 445: Xiong Wangwu’s Remarkably Steady Mind

Xiong Wang Shou is indeed very strong, a Taiyi Fifth-Stage True Immortal, with a lifespan of two hundred thousand years and fifty million health points. In a game, he could be considered a Middle Stage final boss.

No comparison.

No need for comparison.

Because even with the sentence reduction from the Great Wilderness Sin Prison’s rehabilitation, Xiong Wang Shou still has a sentence of one hundred fifty thousand years left.

Wang Wu just needs to ensure that in the next five hundred years, he doesn’t get secretly schemed against by him.

“So now there are three questions.”

“First, is Xiong Wang Shou really going to keep his word not to openly attack and violate the Hidden Origin Association’s Sin Prison rules?”

“Second, is he so sure that the Three Calamities can kill me?”

“Third, how deep is the water in this Great Wilderness Sin Prison repair? How many giant crocodiles are lurking beneath the surface watching?”

“Lastly, an additional question: Xiong Wang Shou, being a Taiyi Fifth-Stage True Immortal, can’t he see through my details? Is that why he has to use this method to get information?”

“This is simply impossible, too absurd, so the only answer is that there is a hidden power restraining Xiong Wang Shou—preventing him from acting recklessly.”

“Of course, another reason could be that the Three-Defense Treasure Armor can indeed exempt from the Taiyi True Immortal’s prying eyes…”

…

“Time to work!”

“Bang!”

Wang Wu took a kick, Qingxue’s temper upon waking was quite significant.

He hurriedly jumped up, four hours had passed, it was a new day, and he needed to continue controlling Yin and Yang Qi above the Heaven and Earth Needle.

Everything was as usual, nothing was surprising.

But Wang Wu truly felt that the real problem was yet to come.

However, this day was oddly peaceful, apart from one large-scale Yin Fire triggered by Yang Thunder, the rest was just the whistling of Evil Wind, and the swirling changes of Yin and Yang Qi.

More than ten times per second, quite complicated.

Yesterday, Wang Wu felt at ease, but today, perhaps having understood more, he became somewhat uncertain about the changes in Yin and Yang Qi.

Of course, this was just Wang Wu’s own feeling, in reality, he still completed the tasks excellently from start to finish, Qingxue and Zihan, the two Array Masters, did not reproach him once.

This was enough to indicate something.

Eight hours ended, he went back to rest for four hours,

Wang Wu also met other prisoner workers one after another, but there was basically no interaction, these were once formidable existences, all powerful Taiyi True Immortals.

What Xiong Wang Shou said was right, the weak have no qualifications to be here.

Wang Wu is the only exception.

“So, don’t think about long-term seclusion for cultivating anymore, I no longer have those conditions, so I should make good use of the four hours of fragmented time every day. If there’s an opportunity, cultivate! If there’s no opportunity, create an opportunity to cultivate!”

Wang Wu was full of fighting spirit, mentally stable. After quickly completing the routine Spiritual Qi nurturing of the Three-Defense Treasure Armor, he dove back into it, shrinking down to the size of dust, starting to cultivate, actually repairing Spirit Pills, focusing on minor internal injuries first, difficult ones weren’t addressed immediately, starting with small, easy-to-repair internal injuries.

Not limited to Ice Spirit Pill, other Golden Spirit Pill, Cyan Wood Spirit Pill, Earth Spirit Pill, whichever he encountered he repaired!

Four hours, too little time to complete a single repair. Wang Wu would do his best to temporarily seal them with his methods, then hurriedly go to work, reminiscent of the hard-working days back home on Earth.

Day after day, nothing was new, nothing particularly eventful, which was the normal situation, as this was a key project of the Hidden Origin Association. How could there be so many unexpected events, the dignities of the Hidden Origin Association bigwigs still needed to be maintained?

However, Wang Wu became increasingly smooth in controlling the changes of Yin and Yang Qi, manipulating it more freely.

This made him more and more eager, more and more longing to use the Yin and Yang Qi pointer to scan himself.

Even if just once.

This thought grew increasingly intense, to the point where Wang Wu really began to study it, he was planning and waiting for an opportunity.

“I can use the opportunity when Yang Thunder strikes, since Yang Thunder can destroy Divine Thought and trigger large-scale Yin Fire, that should be the time when all surveillance methods face the greatest interference. I can act during this time.”

“But I must also bear the cost, Yin Fire is not a concern, but I will surely be eroded by Level 8 Evil Wind, triggering the Tier Eight Evil Wind Bone Plague. I just don’t know if I can withstand it?”

“Even if I can’t withstand it, I have to do it! I can’t control the Celestial and Earthly Compass for long periods, because undoubtedly there is a professional trader in this Array Master squad, but that person is likely among the three prisoner workers taken by Qin Wushuang.”

Wang Wu speculated, and this time, it might have been Qingxue who gave him an opportunity, or perhaps it was just taking turns according to the rules to show who could take on the job, so he grasped this opportunity.

Day by day passed, and as soon as Qingxue and Zihan, these two Array Masters, are about to complete the repair ahead of schedule, their moods have become better, their gazes on him softer, but Wang Wu was anxious because not a single Yang Thunder had erupted in recent days.

“Bang!”

“Get up and work, no slacking off, today is the last day for work.”

“Then this Heaven and Earth Needle is ready for acceptance.”

Under Qingxue’s forceful urging, Wang Wu quickly awakened from meditation as if being startled from a sweet sleep by the harsh sound of an electric saw, feeling murderous!

It’s just that his Maximal Common Denominator Pill’s injury-bearing effect was too strong, otherwise, such a violent awakening each time would be damaging to his Spirit Pills.

Routine ascension to the tower, embedding into the Celestial and Earthly Compass, tying the Clear Heart Bronze Gong, Wang Wu began to control the Yin and Yang Qi pointer, everything was so skillful.

Below, Qingxue and Zihan, the two Array Masters, were leisurely checking from bottom to top, yes, checking, without any need to modify, because this Heaven and Earth Needle was truly perfect, the array patterns above fully met the requirements.

Hence, this was also the last day.

Even the Evil Wind seemed much smaller today.

Time ticked away, in a blink of an eye, six hours passed, today’s work was nearing its end, suddenly, the pointer representing Yang Thunder started swinging wildly.

Wang Wu immediately struck the Clear Heart Bronze Gong.

Almost at the instant the gong sounded, Qingxue and Zihan halted all actions, tightly holding onto the Heaven and Earth Needle, while the other prisoner workers swiftly took cover, those with means even retreated to their Three-Defense Cave Mansions.

Because Yang Thunder inevitably leads to Yin Fire, both of which are most destructive to the Three-Defense Treasure Armor.

Swoosh!

In a series, three Yang Thunders struck down, after nearly six days without them, and then suddenly three came at once.

Wang Wu bore the brunt, he could clearly feel the Yang Thunder coursing over the Three-Defense Treasure Armor, could sense the durability of the armor declining rapidly, no one dared to expose themselves at this moment.

Speaking of which, Wang Wu had never formally faced Yang Thunder, but with such power, could his current lifespan of about ten thousand years suffice?

A few seconds later, the Yang Thunder vanished, transforming into a sky full of Yin Fire, making the Evil Wind seem small at this moment.

As far as the eye could see, the area of several hundred miles was covered with Pale Fire, an unimaginable quantity.

Everyone remained dutifully dormant; no one dared to face such terrifying Yin Fire directly.

Yet at this moment, Wang Wu opened a seam in the Three-Defense Treasure Armor, and in that instant, a large amount of Pale Fire poured in, but he seemed unfazed, like an unfeeling machine, still precisely manipulating the Celestial and Earthly Compass, controlling the pointer of Yin and Yang Qi.

And through the changes of the Yin and Yang Qi pointers at this moment, he illuminated himself.

The entire process took only three seconds, and Wang Wu decisively fastened the Three-Defense Treasure Armor.

Another three seconds passed, and the terrifying Level 8 Evil Wind blew away the sky full of Pale Fire, restoring everything to its original state.

As if nothing had happened.

No one realized what had occurred, nor could anyone catch Wang Wu’s subtle actions.

He remained steadily atop the Heaven and Earth Needle, standing within the Celestial and Earthly Compass, precisely controlling the Yin and Yang Qi.

And no one could see that at this moment, he was completely shrouded by the Pale Fire.

This time, he let in a bit too much Pale Fire.

Calculating based on the Pale Fire sold in the Hidden Origin Association’s Secret Vault, it amounted to approximately twenty clusters!

One cluster requires fifteen thousand strands of the Five Qi of the Human World to purchase.

These equate to three million strands of the Five Qi of the Human World.

And Wang Wu, just for illegally trading five hundred thousand strands, was imprisoned for five hundred years.

This time, it was very profitable indeed.

Yes.

Wang Wu’s current Yin Fire Resistance is 9990 points.

Very strong.

Thus, even with the frenzied burning of twenty clusters of Pale Fire, he can ensure being unharmed for ten minutes.

Only after ten minutes, when his Yin Fire Resistance is pierced, does the main course truly begin.

Still, it is bearable, the pain is certain, and lifespan consumption is also certain.

Moreover, this time the quantity was too much and had already triggered a qualitative change.

In a short time, Wang Wu lost a thousand years of lifespan, and then, he gained 1 point of resistance.

And he subdued a full five clusters of Pale Fire.

He was not invaded by the Evil Wind.

“Damn! I knew it, I knew it would be like this!”

Wang Wu almost cursed!

These were twenty clusters of Pale Fire, a thousand years of lifespan, and the result only gave him an increase of 1 point in resistance.

Calculating since he embarked on the path of brushing against the Three Calamities, he has invested sixteen thousand years of lifespan just on Yin Fire Resistance, yet it is still not maxed out.

This time, he doesn’t need the Four Clowns to analyze it, because he understands why Xiong Wang Shou, Senior Sister Qin, and others choose to brush the Three Calamities to 4999 points.

Because this is the most cost-effective option.

From his own experience, 4999 points only require the consumption of five thousand years of lifespan to achieve the effect of being unharmed in Yin Fire for three seconds.

For a Taiyi True Immortal, three seconds can accomplish a lot.

Moreover, with items like the Three-Defense Treasure Armor, who would be foolish enough to use an Immortal Body to resist it?

Furthermore, perhaps upon cultivating a Creation Immortal Body, resistance to the Three Calamities can also be increased, possibly accumulating to one minute, or three minutes.

This is understandable.

Because looking at it currently, maxing out the Three Calamities without a lifespan of fifty thousand years is unsustainable.

When a problem that can be solved with a piece of Three-Defense Treasure Armor, throwing away fifty thousand years of lifespan is like thinking the lifespan was blown in by the wind.

Who has such great determination?

Speaking of which, if Wang Wu hadn’t brushed against the Three Calamities, his total lifespan limit now should have exceeded thirty thousand years.

Alas!

Does this count as an achievement where only I am injured in the world?

However,

Truly delightful!

Because without such high Yin Fire Resistance, how could he withstand these twenty clusters of Yin Fire?

How could he receive the illumination of Yin and Yang Qi?

And this illumination, it is like a full-body check-up.

Or perhaps one cannot describe it this way; it is more like pointing out the road he should take in the future, correcting his existing cultivation structure, albeit only on paper.

In any case, how to say this, it’s indescribable.

The Yin and Yang Qi is like the foundation of the world, all things and laws emanate from it, and the operation of Yin and Yang Qi is the core principle of the world.

Complying with its principles will make everything proceed smoothly.

Going against its principles is equivalent to opposing the Yin and Yang Qi.

If events do not accommodate you, you can avoid them.

If people do not accommodate you, you can destroy them.

If the heavens do not accommodate you, there truly is nowhere to escape.
