Chapter 382: Chapter 296: The Plan Succeeds, Guiding Fate_2

In a low voice, yet somewhat excitedly, “Finally, couldn’t wait any longer, huh…”

As the words fell, two figures cloaked in blue robes appeared behind Xiang Wuji in an instant as if they had teleported, each pressing a hand on Xiang Wuji’s shoulder.

Golden Core!

And they were both Golden Core Masters at the Late-Stage.

However,

When the two reached forward to grab him, they grasped nothing but air.

The place where Xiang Wuji stood turned into a plume of blood-colored mist.

The guards exploded with cultivation at the same Late-Stage Golden Core, attacking like madmen.

Xiang Wuji clapped his hands.

Beside him appeared seven or eight more Golden Core Masters, all gazing at Xiang Wuji with grave expressions.

Without wasting any words, they unleashed divine techniques attacking Xiang Wuji.

At this moment, the third eye on Xiang Wuji’s forehead suddenly opened, reflecting a hint of darkness in its vertical pupil.

The next second, a smear of shadow began to weave through the attacks of several people.

“Bang”

A crisp sound rang out.

A massive array appeared in mid-air.

“Everyone, into the cage!”

Xiang Wuji laughed heartily, his black robe flinging as his figure once again turned into black smoke and vanished.

And in mid-air, several Golden Core Masters showed their forms, coldly staring at the numerous Golden Core cultivators below.

The plan…succeeded!

[Changtian Calendar Year 11,416, various battlefields in the Danyang Cultivation Realm erupted simultaneously.]

[You successfully triggered the blood puppet tide, with the Blood Puppet Mother Body infecting countless subordinates, causing large-scale damage.]

[Great Wei was caught off guard, suffering massive casualties.]

[As the source of the blood puppets, you unintentionally attracted the attention of the opposing Golden Core Masters.]

[You chose to use yourself as bait to lure the Golden Cores into a trap.]

[The plan succeeded, and you expertly evaded the attacks of over ten Golden Core Masters with extraordinary body techniques.]

[The grand array activated, the Danyang Cultivation Realm annihilated sixteen Late-Stage and Perfection Golden Core Masters at the cost of two serious injuries and six minor injuries…]

Sixteen Golden Cores, already quite a substantial number.

Previously, the entire Jing Sea Realm had only about twenty Golden Core cultivators.

Most critically, these Golden Core Masters were of high-level combat strength at Late-Stage and Perfection, including four Golden Core Perfection Masters.

In the entire Jing Sea Realm, how many had reached Late-Stage before this? No more than five; there wasn’t a single Golden Core Perfection.

Only the top sects in the Central Divine Realm had cultivators with Golden Core Perfection cultivation.

Golden Core Perfection signifies the possibility of advancing to the next realm, like a Land Immortal in the Nascent Soul Realm, should a chance suddenly arise.

[Great Wei’s strength suffered immensely.]

[The Danyang Cultivation Realm, however, began to slow down and gradually digest the spoils to strengthen itself while avoiding pushing Great Wei to send reinforcements from elsewhere.]

[From this point onward, the blood puppet tide continued successfully on the battlefield, and the top combatants of the opposition were eliminated one by one.]

[In the midst of intense battles in other large-scale cultivation realms, the Danyang Cultivation Realm turned its battlefield into a stable source of gains.]

[With your persuasion, the Danyang Cultivation Realm did not hastily raid the Blessed Land but advanced steadily.]

[Your objective was achieved.]

[Changtian Calendar Year 11,418, you retreated from the main battlefield while spreading false news of losing control in your cultivation.]

[Changtian Calendar Year 11,419, Great Wei counterattacked, and both sides seemed evenly matched on the surface again.]

[Changtian Calendar Year 11,420, Wu Yu shone brilliantly on the battlefield, slaying five Golden Core cultivators of the same realm in succession, entering an epiphany, and achieving mastery in the Sword Dao.]

[In the same year, you taught Jiang Zhiqing the Sword Dao, and Jiang Zhiqing’s Sword Dao progressed rapidly.]

[Changtian Calendar Year 11,422, Wu Yu destroyed a rival’s resource treasury and achieved Mid-Stage Golden Core by using secret techniques with the help of vast resources.]

[The name “Female Sword God” began to spread.]

[Changtian Calendar Year 11,423, Jiang Zhiqing ’accidentally’ encountered Wu Yu and received guidance, making great progress in Sword Dao cultivation.]

[Changtian Calendar Year 11,428, Jiang Zhiqing reached Foundation Establishment Perfection.]

[In the same year, Jiang Zhiqing broke through to Golden Core.]

[Changtian Calendar Year 11,432, the war between the Five Great Cultivation Realms and Great Wei entered a phase of total stalemate, with the scale of war decreasing and agreements signed.]

[Wu Yu became the most dazzling new star in the Righteous Dao, with cultivators putting their reputation on the line, equating Wu Yu with Xiang Wuji as the double Celestial Prides of Danyang’s Righteous Demon.]

[Since you didn’t stop it, this notion intensified, spreading rapidly throughout the Danyang Cultivation Realm.]

[Changtian Calendar Year 11,440, the five battlefield agreements were completed, and the war entered a cooling phase.]

Both sides were actually not satisfied with the ceasefire agreement.

Other than Danyang, the Five Great Cultivation Realms all felt they hadn’t gained enough benefits.

Meanwhile, Great Wei felt more aggrieved; if they had been fighting at home, they could have waged war on five fronts.

However, there was a Blessed Land entrance in between.

This resulted in Great Wei requiring time for all their deployments in the Majestic Snow Realm.

To hold back, Great Wei gritted their teeth and signed the ceasefire agreement.

The Five Great Cultivation Realms, on the other hand, felt relieved and resumed their arrogance.

Yet, some keen observers unexpectedly discovered that Great Wei seemed not to fear the Ten Thousand Dao Alliance, the nominal head of the Five Great Cultivation Realms.

This led many to speculate: could there be a state-level behemoth supporting Great Wei?

After connecting it with their own reports and the Alliance’s indifference, some couldn’t help thinking of something else.

With this in mind, the Five Great Cultivation Realms, despite dissatisfaction, continued signing the agreements.

[Changtian Calendar Year 11,441, Wu Yu formally issued a challenge.]

Wu Yu challenging Xiang Wuji?

This was the most sensational news in the entire Danyang Cultivation Realm in a century.

But of course, Xiang Wuji’s cultivation was nearing Golden Core Perfection, while Wu Yu was merely at Mid-Stage Golden Core.

If it were a real duel, Xiang Wuji would suppress his cultivation.

If Xiang Wuji chose to ignore it, there would be no negative repercussions.

If it were an unrestricted fight, Wu Yu would definitely not be Xiang Wuji’s opponent.

Such challenges typically involved seniors providing guidance to juniors in the cultivation realm.

Only in some special cases did such challenges backfire, causing embarrassment for higher cultivators while bestowing fame on lower ones.

Xiang Wuji could acknowledge or ignore it; no one would comment or dare to criticize him.

Wu Yu gazed at the majestic Demon Sect before her, a trace of sentiment in her eyes.

Decades ago, she was merely an old woman nearing the end of her life.

Defying fate upon reaching the end, like protagonists in those tales, she achieved greatness late in life, attaining her current accomplishments.

“Zhiqing, are you sure Senior Xiang will accept my challenge?”

If not for Wu Yu’s cultivation entering a bottleneck, if not for the guidance of her friend and mentor Jiang Zhiqing, Wu Yu wouldn’t have chosen to challenge at this time.

However, in the eyes of many senior Righteous Dao cultivators, this was positive; success would prove wickedness couldn’t prevail over righteousness, and failure was inconsequential due to their advanced cultivation.

The key was whether Xiang Wuji would accept the challenge.

Following suggestions from many Righteous Dao mentors, Wu Yu issued the challenge.

At this moment, a black-robed figure stood high in the sky.

Both eyes were pure white light.

[You’ve seen Wu Yu.]

[You sense the thick fortune on the opponent, continuously rising as it approaches you.]

[This is the push from the entire Danyang Cultivation Realm, and more importantly, the fortune on the opponent is bound to you, allowing you to use the secret technique in the Bai Ze Celestial Fortune Skill, to consume her fortune for your divination, seeking the Land of Vitality the old man mentioned.]

[This technique is called “Guiding Fate.”]

[Celestial Secret Masters do not observe their own fate, Qi Observation Masters do not check their own fortune.]

[Only the Guiding Fate Technique within Bai Ze Celestial Fortune Skill can barely skirt the rules.]

[Everything you’ve done aims to use warfare to enhance Wu Yu’s fortune through the feng shui of the Danyang Cultivation Realm…]
