Chapter 540: Chapter 510: A Match Made in Heaven

“Sorry, we can’t let Qingxue know about this, her Path of Sincerity is too troublesome. If asked, there’s a high chance she’ll spill the beans.”

“So my Path of Deceit and her Path of Sincerity are simply a perfect match, like a heavenly gift. She does good deeds, I do bad ones… Wait, could this be what Qingxue called Dao Resonance? Cool!”

With this thought, Wang Wu rushed to the pre-installation area for the three hundred Three Calamities Long Sails.

Qingxue was nowhere to be seen here, but the varying amounts of Refined Yang Thunder had been smoothly and perfectly adjusted, just one step away from being ready for use.

“My lord!”

Upon seeing Wang Wu, the Spiritual Little Dragon Qingluo jumped down from the mast and respectfully saluted.

“Lord Qingxue said she’s going to Cyan Frost City to visit the Frost Monarch, expected to return in seven years. At that time, the Frost Monarch is likely to accompany her, she hopes you are mentally prepared and maintain proper etiquette.”

“Got it, thank you.”

Wang Wu remained expressionless, though in his heart he thought, good riddance, great timing, such a perfect getaway!

This is what you call a perfectly synchronized couple.

He didn’t believe that Qingxue couldn’t guess his thoughts, nor did he believe she truly had matters to attend to by leaving at this time.

Honestly, this was just avoiding being an alibi.

That’s right, this is how the Path of Sincerity should be cultivated.

I didn’t see anything, I don’t know anything, what are you talking about?

There’s no better start than this.

And as someone cultivating the Path of Deceit, he was never afraid of lying, nor did he mind engaging in actions that could get entire clans executed…

Ah, we truly are a match made in heaven.

With a wave, he dismissed the Spiritual Little Dragon. Wang Wu wasn’t in a rush, for now he had the entire Spirit-Catching Ship under his management, giving him more comprehensive, safer, and more concealed options…

For example, creating another 3,600 pieces of Vermilion Bird Array Stone?

Currently, during the sweltering solar terms, the Fire Spirit Guards outside couldn’t be more arrogant.

Yes, let’s do just that!

Wang Wu was indeed unrestrained, relying on his Five Elements Cat Array, and in just a few days he cracked the Fire Spirit Guard. No help for it, the Five Elements Cat Array was just that powerful.

Next, he decided to just go all the way, using his position as Chief to advance his future salary…

In a year, he successfully carved 3,600 high-quality Vermilion Bird Array Stones, but of course, this meant he’d have to work tirelessly on this Spirit-Catching Ship for almost two thousand years.

If discovered, he could be charged with dereliction of duty and embezzlement, certainly leading to a visit to the Great Wilderness Sin Prison.

But it didn’t matter, Wang Wu was so carefree, grandpa didn’t care.

Once the Array Stones were gathered, he began deploying Miniature Heaven and Earth Needles. This was more dangerous and complex, but for Wang Wu, it all seemed so simple.

Taking advantage of the retreat of the Great Fire Tide and the good signal from the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, he stealthily deployed Miniature Heaven and Earth Needles at various locations on the Spirit-Catching Ship, then connected them through Yin and Yang Qi calibration.

After toiling away for about five years, his great work was finally complete. He concealed it from everyone, from all the Cricket Dragons, even the Frost Monarch and Qingxue, successfully transforming this Spirit-Catching Ship into a pocket-sized, low-end model of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower!

Honestly, to say this Spirit-Catching Ship now had one ten-thousandth the power of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower would be an exaggeration.

“In reality, it’s probably equivalent to one fifty-thousandth of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, or about one eighty-thousandth of the real Zhenyuan Tower owned by the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch.”

The voice of his mother-in-law suddenly rang out, nearly startling Wang Wu into a jolt. What was going on? Hadn’t she already left?

You Four Clowns, you damn folks, kept me in the dark for a full six years in silence!

Didn’t consider me a brother at all.

From now on, our ties are severed…

“Uh, mother-in-law, why haven’t you left?”

Wang Wu’s heart felt cold, he was still planning to find an opportunity to handle Qingxue on the spot, let’s just say, people, at least shouldn’t…

“I’m leaving, is my spiritual remains with you? And I’m not even myself, just a fake primordial spirit, don’t take it seriously, it’s normal, you talk to them like buddies, but with me…”

“No no no, whether it’s a fake primordial spirit or not, you are still my elder. May I ask, what are your terms to leave?”

Wang Wu was about to collapse.

At this point, the Four Clowns spoke up, “Don’t be ungrateful, others would consider having one fake primordial spirit extraordinary, you have five, when the time is right, the old lady will naturally leave.”

“Really? I don’t believe it!”

“Even if you don’t believe it, it can’t be helped, the old lady is staying here, you little bear, can you turn the world upside down?”

“No, but I’m still curious, what’s in it for you?”

Wang Wu felt very frustrated.

“What’s in it for me? My precious daughter doesn’t want me anymore. Ever since you cultivated the Path of Deceit, she said I knew too many of your secrets, and that’s not good. If I go back, it would mean destroying both her Path of Sincerity and your Path of Deceit at the same time. Oh, I’m so unlucky. You better hurry up and have a big, healthy grandson, so I can dote on my grandson and ignore you all!”

So that’s how it was, Wang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, “So you didn’t tell Qingxue about my Five Elements Cat Array?”

“Of course not, I’m not stupid, I haven’t told anyone, the Five Elements Cat Array is too shocking, it is a Tier Four Foundation Establishment Array only a Half-step Daluo can master. If it’s leaked, that would be trouble. The Hidden Origin Divine Monarch would be the first to want you dead! Because you essentially stole his foundation! Yes, exactly, your Five Elements Cat Array, along with various array stones and the Heaven and Earth Needle and such, were all actually dismantled from the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch’s own foundation array, assigned to his subordinates to operate, and you got a great bargain out of it.”

“In fact, I’m also mainly worried these four clowns would let it slip, this matter must be tightly sealed. Moreover, I must praise you for not deploying the Five Elements Cat Array in the first or third sequence, just right in the second sequence, with the innate in the first sequence and the acquired in the third sequence, it is hidden perfectly.”

“In the future, you absolutely have a thirty percent chance of stepping into Half-step Daluo.”

“Only thirty percent?” Wang Wu didn’t expect, the old lady praised him like a flower in the front, but then changed her tune…

“Is thirty percent little? It’s not little! You’re just a newly minted Taiyi First Tier small True Immortal, do you still want to become a fat man with one bite? Half-step Daluo, compared to Taiyi Ninth Tier, may appear to be the same thing, but it’s really not the same!”

“The old lady is not even afraid to tell you a secret, do you know how many years the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch has actually lived? Truly, he has lived for one and a half million years, but in the official records, the establishment of the Hidden Origin Association is only two hundred and eighty thousand years, why is that?”

“Little Xiong Xiong, it seems you’ve already figured it out, yes, this Hidden Origin is not that Hidden Origin.”

“The earliest Hidden Origin Association can even be traced back to one million two hundred thousand years ago, then the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch attempted to transcend and failed, he survived, everyone else who entered the Breaking Realm Array, all died.”

“By this analogy, within the next fifty thousand years, the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch will attempt to transcend to Daluo for the fifth time.”

“How the future will unfold, the old lady cannot say, in fact, the reason I was killed back then, escaping with only a wisp of celestial soul, is because I knew this secret and was silenced.”

“Of course, this matter, as the day of the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch’s attempt to transcend to Daluo draws nearer, the higher-ups of the Hidden Origin Association can generally guess at it, but no one dares to defect, or everyone can only put in all their effort, hoping to aid the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch in succeeding in the transcendence to Daluo.”

“Because you can’t escape, you won’t escape anyway! With the Dark Domain watching, the Dark Domain doesn’t need to enter the Breaking Realm Array, they are truly the confidants of the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch, how terrifying and mysterious they are, just think about over a million years of accumulation and you’ll know.”

“As for why the old lady is telling you this today, one reason is to caution you against being arrogant and complacent, don’t think having a Five Elements Cat Array means you can lose yourself in pride, you truly have lost yourself in pride, do you know? You even dared to advance two thousand years of salary, do you really not know how to spell death? This matter, as long as someone from the Auditing Bureau finds out, it will immediately alarm the Dark Domain of the Hidden Origin Association, I was killed by the Dark Domain back then, they are more terrifying than you imagine.”

“So the old lady says, you think you have the Path of Cowardice, but it’s nothing! The Hidden Origin Divine Monarch has lived over a million years, what situations and tricks hasn’t he seen, the mystery of the Hidden Origin Dark Domain, you think it’s a joke!”

“And it’s almost certain, within the Frost Domain, there are at least five undercover agents from the Dark Domain embedded. Your every move, the Frost Domain’s every move, is plainly visible, that Qingluo is an undercover agent, even Qu Shenglian doesn’t know about this.”

“However, you’re truly lucky, the thing with saving Lu Tong, you handled it very discreetly, very perfectly, in fact, to this day, no one knows how you actually did it, even I only found out through interrogating these four clowns.”

“But because of this, the old lady can send away the spiritual remains, but I can’t leave. Leaving would harm you all!”

“Of course, I must praise my precious daughter, she cultivates the Path of Sincerity, but she really knows how to maintain boundaries. Not knowing is just not knowing, you should know this is extremely difficult, too difficult, so, you also need to learn from her well.”

“Forget it, I will still praise you, for instance, your actions this time, aside from the advanced salary thing, all other methods can earn an excellent rating, utilizing the power of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, haha! It’s a stroke of genius.”

“But, you had better hope the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch successfully transcends to Daluo this time, otherwise, next time, he will definitely patch this loophole.”

After hearing all this, Wang Wu wasn’t too surprised, this is just the world after class solidification, very normal.

In the Mortal world, at least there’s Huang Chao.

In the Cultivation Realm, even the Huang Chao doesn’t know how he died.

“So may I ask, has Qingluo already discovered the matter of me advancing my salary?”

Wang Wu asked, he had a feeling, this mother-in-law is most likely also someone who stirs up trouble!
