Chapter 65: Omen: She seemed to be following the established route...
"Master Bai has finished speaking. Now it's my turn. This is the second good news." After Bai Zhi and Qu Lingyou finished their conversation, Shen Cangwu continued.
She waved her hand, and a map appeared before her, projected to everyone present. It was a map of the world of immortal cultivation, densely marked with red dots, many of which were in motion.
Chen Cangwu displayed the map and explained, "We've already locked onto most of the Heavenly Spirit's clones—yes, after our research, we've determined that they are indeed His clones. He left these clones behind, on the one hand, to further infiltrate the world, and on the other hand, to leave himself a way out."
Bai Zhi frowned slightly. This didn't sound good. "What do you mean by retreat?"
Shen Cangwu looked over, his tone still calm, as if nothing would surprise her, or perhaps because he already knew: "Even if his body in heaven is killed, he can be randomly resurrected in one of his clones and find an opportunity to return to heaven, or continue to develop on earth."
The conference room fell into dead silence.
This is very troublesome. The Spirit of Heaven is constantly dropping "tumors" to create clones. As long as it is not completely cleared, even if Heaven is killed, He can be resurrected and continue to reproduce.
Just like cockroaches, when you find one, there's already a whole nest of them, and they're even harder to kill than cockroaches.
"The second good news is that we've captured a clone. After studying them, we've found a way to detect and kill them. The more we kill, the greater the impact on the Heavenly Spirit. The slower He will be in sending down His clones, until He is no longer able to split." Shen Cangwu added, "And the clones are mostly people who died due to Heaven's Wrath. These people are the most suitable for corruption. It's effortless, and their disappearance or abnormality won't be noticed."
This makes it feel a bit easier. Ying Bu Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was still very troublesome, it was much better than the previous feeling of having to kill endlessly. At least the action could yield some results.
But now she was curious about something else: "This may be a bit offensive, but I am indeed a little curious. Didn't the two seniors notice these phenomena or make any discoveries before?"
She felt that although the information she provided was effective, it was superficial. The fact that they were able to find the root cause in such a short time also proved their strength.
So why didn’t we discover it before?
"To be honest, I was deceived by other people's words and my own arrogance. Not only did I not discover these things, I didn't even take any action to discover them." Bai Zhi shook her head, feeling a little embarrassed. If she had discovered it earlier, perhaps she could have found a way to curb the wrath of heaven.
Chen Cangwu disagreed. "Master Bai, there's no need to take all the blame on yourself. After all, everyone present, except for Young Friend Ying, was previously under the control of Heaven. Young Friend Ying has now stepped out of his destiny and is guiding those around him to escape. Things that were previously deliberately concealed are now emerging before us."
"And it's not just this reason, there's another point, which is what I'm going to talk about next."
Having said that, Bai Zhi was also clear about her original attitude. The fact that her disciple was able to discover part of the essence before her was proof of that.
But now it was obvious that Shen Cangwu had something else to say, so Bai Zhi did not continue the topic, but looked at her and waited for her to speak.
As for Ying Bu Ran, he was thinking about something with his head down and his chin in his hands.
"I think Qin Li might also be one of the conscious clones of the Heavenly Spirit." Shen Cangwu spoke slowly, casting a thunderous sound. "Not only her, in fact, the former sect leader Luo Wangqing also suspected the same thing."
"A while ago, Qin Li came to visit me. Although she seemed alright, I could clearly sense her attempts to guide me and erode my will during our conversations. If I hadn't tried it on myself when I was trying to kill my clone, and the effects were still there, I'm afraid my consciousness would have vanished."
Hiss, this is really terrifying. Zhao Chaoan exclaimed and asked, "Are you sure everything is okay?"
"It's okay. I checked the soul and there's no problem. After that, I made some more attempts and didn't anger the spirit of heaven. I can be sure that everything is fine." Shen Cangwu explained.
Jiang Liuyan nodded. It seemed that the previous action of blowing up the magic circle and the array center had caused great losses to Liuyun Sect and Tianzhiling. Therefore, they were now getting anxious and were actually planning to take direct control.
They had dodged it this time, but what about the next time? It was easier to avoid an attack than to defend against an attack from the dark. They couldn't be on guard all the time.
"Is there any way to prevent it?" Jiang Liuyan knocked on the handle of the chair and asked.
Chen Cangwu thought for a moment and said, "By not coming into direct contact with Qin Li and the others and not believing in the spirit of heaven, we can prevent most of the controlled corrosion. The rest depends on our personal will. Of course, we are also working overnight to make a detection token so that we can check our status at any time. As for the method of extraction, there is also one. It is similar to destroying the clone, but it may be a little more painful. Moreover, corroding a normal living person who does not believe in heaven is very difficult and consumes a lot of energy. We will not do it lightly."
She saw that after the erosion failed, Qin Li's face turned pale and he left quickly.
This erosion was also a heavy blow to her.
"This may be the most difficult period recently. Once we get through this last wrath of heaven, everything will be over."
Heal the wrath of heaven, avoid erosion, execute the clones, and always be vigilant against the small moves of Liuyun Sect and Jiuyou Sect, and finally complete the complete slaying of the sky.
All of this must be accomplished before this wrath of heaven ends. Time is short, but the task is heavy. If the wrath of heaven ends, the world will basically be on the road to collapse.
Jiang Liuyan nodded in agreement, glanced at Ying Bu Ran who was still lost in thought, and without interrupting her, she discussed with Chen Cangwu and Bai Zhi, "However, in order to ensure that the plan can proceed normally without interruption, I feel that some substantial protective measures are still needed. Although it will be a loss for them, if they succeed, the benefits to them and the blow to us will be enormous."
"In addition, the suppression and treatment operations and the elimination of the clones must be carried out simultaneously. The more clones are delayed, the more they will appear. The more people die, the more clones they will appear. The two sects are more professional in these two areas. We will assist you in your operations and keep an eye on the Liuyun Sect and the Jiuyou Sect at the same time."
"Just leave the Jiuyou Sect to me. I have already discussed with the King of Hell. The ghost world will also take action this time, but we will only investigate the affairs of the Jiuyou Sect for now." Zhao Chaoan said.
It is now basically confirmed that the Jiuyou Sect has plans for the ghost world. The evidence is placed in front of the King of Hell, and she has agreed to send troops to assist.
Of the other three ghost kings, one remained neutral, while the other two would take action at the appropriate time. As for Sha Ruxin… Zhao Chaoan got a headache just thinking about this ghost.
Jiang Liuyan had no objection. It was a good thing that the Ghost Realm could help contain one side. After that, it was a matter of specifically distributing the personnel and forces. They had to ensure that each team had a strong leader, while also retaining enough strength to deal with the Liuyun Sect and the Heavenly Spirit.
After discussing, they came to the arrangement of Ying Bu Ran's whereabouts. A few people looked at Ying Bu Ran, who was sitting in Zhao Chao An's arms, and found that she was still thinking.
Jiang Liuyan and Zhao Chaoan exchanged a glance. Zhao Chaoan poked Ying Bu Ran and asked, "A Ran? A Ran? What are you thinking about?"
Ying Bu Ran came back to his senses and suddenly realized that everyone was looking at him. He subconsciously asked, "Is it over?"
"Well, now it's you who's missing. Do you want to go for treatment, kill the clone, stay, or wait?" Zhao Chaoan nodded, resting his chin on Ying Bu Ran's shoulder, and asked.
Ying Bu Ran frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I plan to set out in the next few days to look for opportunities and the Heavenly Road."
Although the situation is urgent everywhere, she still feels that she can play a greater role in other areas.
"I'll go with you when we look for the Heavenly Road." Mu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. She had not been assigned any work, so she could provide support at any time.
…
After it was over, everyone got down to work. Ying Bu Ran went back to his room with Zhao Chao An and started preparing the magic tools.
Zhao Chaoan watched her tidying up and could clearly see that Ying Bu Ran was a little absent-minded. She was probably tidying up things because she didn't want her hands to be idle while she was thinking, so she was looking for something to do.
She felt that this was the only explanation for Ying Buyan taking things out and putting them back.
"What have you been thinking about since you asked that question today?" Zhao Chaoan saw Ying Bu Ran standing there with nothing to do and asked directly.
"Oh, I was thinking about that 'fate' thing." Ying Bu Ran said without hiding anything, "I heard Sect Master Shen say before that I felt that the anchor point of the change might not be me. If you hadn't appeared to save me, I would have died long ago."
After she finished speaking, she sighed, her chin resting on her hand, looking rather distressed. "I feel like we're still passively playing into each other's hands, constantly being manipulated. Even though we've taken positive measures on the surface, we're still in a passive position. And that 'fate'? Can we really escape it now? Have they truly freed themselves from its influence?"
"I need to find a breakthrough point that can disrupt the enemy's plan. Tianlu may be that breakthrough point."
This is where the problem lies. Ying Bu Ran lay back and let out a long breath.
She only knew that she had to find the Zhantian Sword and the Tianlu, but she had no idea whether the Zhantian Sword could liberate the Tianlu, or how to liberate it if not.
She seems to still be following the established route, but she used to be the Spirit of Heaven and now she is the first generation.
Zhao Chaoan didn't say anything. She could feel that Ying Bu Ran was thinking more than what she said, but since Ying Bu Ran didn't continue speaking, she didn't know what he was thinking.
Finally, she sat next to Ying Bu Ran and held her hand: "No matter what you want to do, I will be with you."
