Chapter 827: Chapter 691: Sudden Incident

Shi Zhongkuan, upon hearing this, touched the jade slip, and virtual light screens flew out one by one, revealing the information of various personnel.

Shi Zhongkuan had originally expected some general information, but when he saw the detailed notes on each person’s divine position, divine techniques, the divine rules they mastered, and even remarks on which Dao consistencies could restrain them to some extent, he was stunned.

Especially when he saw the information about the Lord of Thunder, Shi Zhongkuan looked at Wang Zijia with a bewildered expression and said,

"Fellow Daoist, you couldn’t possibly have planted a nail within the real gods (Earth Immortals) of the opposing God System, could you?"

Wang Zijia smiled without giving a direct answer and said, "It seems to be of use then? I won’t bother you further today."

Having said that, Wang Zijia bowed again and, along with Zhu Qi, disappeared from Taiching Palace.

After seeing off Wang Zijia, Shi Zhongkuan contemplated the information for a moment and immediately sent out some messages.

······

After leaving Taiching Palace, Wang Zijia and the other person flew towards Sanyuan City.

"Master, I believe there are no Spiritual Objects you need in the East Wilderness; I’ve almost visited every place possible," Zhu Qi suddenly said.

Wang Zijia nodded and said, "Once you’ve dealt with that group of Mad Gods in the Foreign World, then you should head to the Central Immortal Domain."

"Should I go to Taiching Palace then?" asked Zhu Qi.

Wang Zijia immediately understood why Zhu Qi had suddenly mentioned this and said with a smile, "There’s no need for that; you can decide for yourself. If they are cordial, and you don’t mind, joining Taiching Palace is fine. If you don’t want to join, it’s also fine to refuse."

"My visit today to Shi Zhongkuan... don’t worry about it; I myself haven’t decided whether to return to Taiching Palace!"

"After all... I didn’t even see that old fellow from those days... When we truly go to the Central Immortal Domain, we’ll talk about it then."

Zhu Qi nodded and said, "Disciple understands how to proceed."

Without further conversation, the two of them quietly returned to Sanyuan City, and Zhu Qi quietly left.

······

In the Yu Family of Sanyuan City, when Wang Zijia returned to the courtyard, Yu Guangyun was standing there again.

"When did you get here?" Wang Zijia asked.

"It’s been a while. Seeing Master wasn’t here, I let someone tidy up the Courtyard," Yu Guangyun replied.

"Is there something you need?" Wang Zijia inquired.

Yu Guangyun shook his head and responded, "No, I’m just helping Master tidy up the Courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia turned to enter the house, saying, "Go about your business then. Have you been that idle lately, always standing here in my courtyard..."

Wang Zijia paused mid-action and turned back to look at Yu Guangyun, asking, "Is your condition adjusted well?"

The abrupt question made Yu Guangyun’s face light up with joy, and he immediately nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes, it is!"

"Then prepare for it. Tomorrow, come to my courtyard for your Breakthrough," Wang Zijia instructed.

"But disciple’s Spiritual Objects still..." Yu Guangyun said with joy but hesitated.

"You don’t need to worry about that; everything will be ready when the time comes," Wang Zijia replied.

Overjoyed, Yu Guangyun hurriedly departed.

Seeing this, Wang Zijia shook his head and remarked, "I was wondering why he’s been loitering around me lately; turns out he was trying to catch my eye. But such a tactic... it’s rather low-level!"

······

The next day, Yu Guangyun arrived at Wang Zijia’s Courtyard fully prepared, thinking he was about to undergo some significant event.

However, Wang Zijia casually threw him into the Duobao World, gave him an Elixir to consummate after Crossing Tribulation, and then tossed him back out, all within less than two hours.

Yu Guangyun was still dumbfounded by what had happened, and in his bewildered state, Wang Zijia casually sent him on his way.

It was then that he realized how terrifyingly formidable the golden thigh he had clung to was.

He also finally understood why Senior Sister Zhu Qi, even though she had already become an Immortal, was still so respectful and diligent towards this Master.

This Master wasn’t just any Tribulation Crossing Cultivator; even ordinary Immortals wouldn’t be able to help him achieve a breakthrough in Crossing Tribulation so effortlessly.

It wouldn’t surprise him at this point if someone told him that his Master was a Nine Realms Profound Immortal!

And so, from that day on, Yu Guangyun served Wang Zijia with even greater diligence.

Without the sensibilities of a Tribulation Crossing Cultivator, he personally saw to all matters related to Wang Zijia, no matter how large or small.

Yet, Wang Zijia continued to lead a reclusive and routine life, as usual.

Despite this, in addition to his daily routine of Sealing talismans, understanding Shen Hong, searching for Spiritual Objects, he added a new regular activity to his nightly agenda.

He connected with Ice Frost!

He synchronized the progress of the plan to capture the Lord of Thunder alive and took the initiative to offer advice and strategy, subtly influencing the members of the Natural Law God System to ensure that the finalized plan to capture him alive would proceed according to his wishes.

·······

Thus, twenty days hurried by.

The event was finally settled without a trace, the Natural Law God System successfully defined the capture scheme, and as desired, the plan proceeded in the direction Wang Zijia had intended.

Wang Zijia, upon learning of the enemy’s finalized plan to lure him with their "bait," immediately notified Taiching Palace and began to counter-arrange based on their intelligence.

To prevent any unforeseen accidents, Wang Zijia did not conceal much information.

Excluding the matter of Ice Frost, he had relayed the enemy’s detailed plans in full to Shi Zhongkuan.

And he indicated that he would update the situation in real-time.

After receiving the message, Earth Immortal Shi Zhongkuan fell into a long silence, thoroughly confirming that Wang Zijia did indeed have a mole within the high-level god system of the opposition.

At the same time, he realized that this Taiching ancient cultivator, just as they had speculated, likely had an identity that was anything but simple.

The situation progressed under such strange circumstances.

A group intent on capturing Wang Zijia live had their plan uncovered by their target before they could even start, and he had already notified others to counter-hunt them.

The development of events seemed somewhat farcical.

After this situation had roughly taken shape, Wang Zijia’s hanging heart finally relaxed a little.

However, three days hurried by.

The personnel of the Natural Law God System who had agreed on the plan did not immediately act on the bait, or rather, the Lord of Thunder had not given the order.

...

That afternoon, Zhu Qi suddenly arrived at Wang Zijia’s Courtyard.

"Master, something big has happened!"

Called out from the Duobao World by Zhu Qi, Wang Zijia’s first sight of Zhu Qi in the Courtyard was her speaking with a grave expression.

"Is it an anomaly with that group of Mad Gods from the Foreign World, or is there a problem with Taiching Palace’s hunting plan?" Wang Zijia’s first thought was this.

Zhu Qi shook her head and said, "It’s neither. There’s a big problem at the Taiching Palace Relics."

"Hmm?" Wang Zijia frowned and said, "Shi Zhongkuan didn’t say that the Secret Realm would complete the Sacrifice and Refinement in the next two days, transforming into a Taoist soldiers production-type Immortal Treasure Cave World?"

"Could it be that the refinement failed?"

Zhu Qi shook her head and said, "No, the Secret Realm completed the final Sacrifice and Refinement yesterday, and the work was concluded. It has now completely transformed into a Taoist soldiers nurturing Immortal Tool."

"But just this morning, a few Celestial Immortals—since they finally had free hands after the Secret Realm’s refinement—went to clean up the ancient Void Ruins that were discovered incidentally during their wandering pursuits through the Void."

"As a result, a big problem was uncovered during this cleaning."

"I’m not quite sure of the specifics, but I’ve heard that a great battle erupted deep within, resulting in severe injury to one of the four Celestial Immortals, with the remaining three emerging in disarray."

"Hmm?" Wang Zijia was sharply surprised and asked incredulously, "Wasn’t that supposed to be a Ruin? After being brought back, haven’t countless disciples gone in to explore it? How could there still be such terrifying entities present?"

If Wang Zijia remembered correctly, Yao Wenxuan had gone in there, and even found a piece of Earth Immortal Spiritual Material, was chased down, and barely escaped with serious injuries.

With such bad luck, how come they hadn’t encountered something so horrifying before now?

It didn’t seem to add up!

"I’m not too clear on the specifics, I just received news of this," Zhu Qi shook her head, changing the topic as she said, "Also, this incident is just the beginning."

"The beginning? Could it be that something even bigger has happened in the past half day?" Wang Zijia looked at Zhu Qi in astonishment.

Zhu Qi nodded with a serious look and said, "I don’t know the details. In any case, it’s that after the Celestial Immortal Venerates were impeded and in disarray, disciples exploring the Ruins suddenly discovered passages in several parts of the Ruins, leading to unknown places."

"Somehow, people inadvertently came across individuals from the Witch Realm, and after a chase, they found an incredibly exaggerated and huge expanse of Void Ruins in another part of the Void."

"Normally, this wouldn’t be a big deal. After all, when that Ruin was incidentally discovered previously, everyone speculated that it clearly was a broken world, with Ruin Groups around it—this was inevitable."

"But when someone realized that this broken Ruin belonged to the Fourth Epoch, and even possibly to remnants left behind after the shattering of the world belonging to the core department of the Third Epoch Dao Court, the situation changed."

"In this short half-day, I don’t know how many people have surged into the Void. I’ve even heard that not only all the Immortal Venerates from the Central Immortal Domain have taken the field, but they have also called for reinforcements from the Central Immortal Domain."

"..."

After listening to Zhu Qi’s account, Wang Zijia summed up:

"So to put it simply, possibly belonging to the Third Epoch Dao Court, an affiliated broken world of Void Ruins was discovered due to the conflict and pulling during the earlier Taiching Secret Realm exploration."

"People from the Central Immortal Domain discovered only a small part, and during their pursuit, individuals from the Witch Realm uncovered a much larger part."

"As a result, due to the Celestial Immortals’ exploration today, or because of other reasons, passages to other fragments were accidentally created, and since they encountered people from the Witch Realm, the entire Ruin Group was discovered?"

Zhu Qi nodded and said, "That’s roughly it. The specifics aren’t clear to me because of the hurried timing and because it involves the Celestial Immortals."

After Wang Zijia grasped the general outline of the situation, he felt a headache coming on.

He wasn’t particularly concerned about the Void Ruins, he had no intention of exploring them.

At the moment, he had only one goal: Becoming Immortal.

Before achieving immortality, aside from matters related to immortality and personal safety, everything else could wait.

What truly bothered him was why did this have to occur right at this critical juncture.

However, before Wang Zijia could fully digest the situation, his left eye began to flash with Spiritual Light.
