Wu Wei's invisible mechanical beast horde split into seven groups, each heading towards intercepting the seven Yin-Yang and Five Elements spiritual treasures that had just emerged, attempting to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Little did she know that her invisible mechanical beast horde was no longer invisible to Zheng Ya; it was all visible on the satellite and drone monitoring screens.
The reason why Wu Wei's invisible mechanical beast horde was not directly destroyed was that when Zheng Ya developed the microscopic array camera, he strictly ordered the members of the consortium's network monitoring team to postpone the order to snipe Wu Wei's invisible mechanical beast horde and wait and see.
The foundation's network monitoring team was puzzled and called to inquire about the reason.
Since Zheng Ya made a clear principle when he established the consortium: everyone should work together, express their opinions, learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses, and avoid arbitrariness and hegemony. This single rule allows the members of the consortium to raise any questions they may have.
The entire conglomerate therefore operated harmoniously, like one big family.
When everyone is united in their efforts and speaks freely, all problems are analyzed clearly and thoroughly resolved.
The members of the consortium's network naturally did not understand Zheng Ya's order to stop them from using satellites and drone swarms to snipe Wu Wei's invisible mechanical beast, and promptly asked questions.
Zheng Ya's reasoning was simple: as long as Wu Wei's invisible mechanical beast horde did not endanger the lives of innocent people on the continent, they would remain inactive and wait for the crucial moment to deliver a fatal blow to Wu Wei.
This reason is based on the premise of eliminating the threat posed by the invisible horde of beasts to the lives of creatures on the mainland, and the effectiveness of the microscopic camera developed by Zheng Ya.
By the time the microscopic camera was developed, Zheng Ya had already relocated the lives that needed saving on the mainland, so there was no need to expose it and attract Wu Wei's attention and targeting.
Wu Wei frequently used invisible mechanical beasts to conduct intelligence gathering and assassination operations, causing casualties to the forces of the Retired Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
However, these casualties were people who did not agree with Zheng Ya's ideology and were loyal to the retired emperor and the empress dowager. In Zheng Ya's view, their lives were insignificant compared to delivering a fatal blow to Wu Wei.
After understanding Zheng Ya's intention, the members of the consortium's network monitoring team stopped mentioning the matter of sniping Wu Wei's invisible mechanical beast horde.
However, the invisible mechanical beasts are now heading straight for the birthplace of the seven spiritual treasures, which makes the members of the consortium's network monitoring team unable to control themselves. They all suggest that Zheng Ya destroy them and send out a drone team to seize the seven spiritual treasures.
Zheng Ya remained busy rescuing people, calmly replying, "The entire conglomerate is holding back."
You must understand the power of the Tongtian Tower authorities on the Qian Yuan Continent. Do not expose yourselves because of the allure of the seals and spiritual treasures, and do not get caught up in the battle to seize them, losing yourselves and inviting a fatal blow from the Tongtian Tower authorities.
At this critical moment, we should remain rational and treat this as an opportunity to temper our mind and will, taking a detached view of this turmoil with the attitude that "if I gain it, I am fortunate; if I lose it, it is fate."
Because I'm unsure of the official purpose behind the Tower of Babel's creation of the seal and the magical artifact, I won't allow anyone to get involved. Any damage could trigger a chain reaction, leading to a rush for rescue efforts and turning into a piecemeal attack. Do you understand?
"Ah, Master is very rational and comprehensive in his thinking. He doesn't want to see the group members make unnecessary sacrifices."
"But everyone feels it's not worth it for our master to lose the seal and the magical treasure..." Liu Yan'er said irritably, expressing the sentiments of the network monitoring team members.
Every member of the consortium had received favors from Zheng Yazheng. Whether it was to repay the favor or because they were greedy for the seal and the magical treasure, they all hoped that Zheng Yazheng would take the seal and the magical treasure. They couldn't let their mortal enemy Wu Wei benefit from them!
Zheng Ya understood everyone's feelings and declined, saying, "You should all participate in the mental and willpower training and not waste this life's journey."
"Oh, alright, our entire conglomerate will carry out the order."
"But I want to ask you, are you really willing to let the seal and the magic treasure fall into Wu Wei's hands?" Daiyu's rational final effort shocked everyone in the conglomerate who knew about it, and they all focused on this moment, hoping that Zheng Ya would give the answer they wanted.
Unfortunately, Zheng Ya knew he was destined to disappoint everyone: "Your question is a bit malicious!"
Admittedly, I do not deny that I was greedy for seals and sacred objects.
My greed level is probably much higher than any of yours. After all, now, with just one order from me, I can command you to control the satellite and drone teams to destroy Wuwei's invisible mechanical beast horde and intercept the seven spiritual treasures.
It can be said that victory was achieved in an instant, with ease.
Who among you dares to say I'm not tempted? You probably don't even believe it yourselves, right?
But precisely because of this, you should be able to better understand why, in this journey of self-cultivation, I prioritize the refinement of my mind and will, and thus relinquish the seal and the sacred treasure—what's wrong with that?
"Okay, you're absolutely right!"
"It is truly a blessing to have a leader like you, who pursues freedom and strives to create a harmonious society, guiding us toward a republic and guiding us in our spiritual journey. Thank you!" Daiyu realized this at that moment.
Life is full of temptations. Resisting temptations and cultivating one's spiritual path is a victory in itself.
Because she won through rationality, willpower, magnanimity, and broad-mindedness, which benefited her mental growth and made her the most beautiful scenery on her life's journey, her sacrifice today has brought her a victory in her spiritual cultivation.
This kind of victory cannot be fostered or nurtured by money, resources, or even chance. Compared to the value of giving up the seal and the magic treasure, the cost-effectiveness is many times higher.
Moreover, the Tower of Babel official is a potential danger?
No one can guarantee that the Tower of Babel's official forces won't deliver a fatal blow while Zheng Ya orders the consortium's network monitoring team to fight for the seal and the magical treasure.
This is yet another victory achieved through stealth.
While Zheng Ya led the entire consortium to observe the situation, Wu Wei's seven invisible mechanical beast hordes intercepted the seven spiritual treasures one after another, almost making Wu Wei go crazy with joy.
Instead, the benevolent Wu Wei calmly warned, "You big fool, don't you think there's something wrong with things that are too easy to obtain?"
"Uh, you can't stand to see me doing well!" The evil spirit Wu Wei remained unmoved, and retorted with a crooked smile.
This left the benevolent spirit feeling quite weary: "I'm just reminding you that things that are too easily obtained are often worthless..."
"Shut up! I think you're just envious and jealous. You can't stand to see me doing well. The better I do, the harder it is for you to stand out. So you're deliberately trying to make things difficult for me while I'm enjoying collecting all the spiritual treasures?" The evil spirit Wu Wei scolded angrily, but it didn't dampen his spirits. He was grinning from ear to ear.
The benevolent spirit Wu Wei felt increasingly uneasy: "Haha, I hope you can have the last laugh and not regret it!"
"Hehehe, you're feeling guilty. Once I obtain the last seal, complete this interdimensional trial, and build an unparalleled foundation, I'll make you the number two for ten thousand years, a fact you'll never be able to turn the tables on. You'll regret it someday, hehehe." The evil spirit Wu Wei was thoroughly enjoying himself, completely oblivious to the benevolent spirit's well-intentioned advice.
At this moment, the battle for the imperial seal came to an end.
While the retired emperor's forces abandoned the battle for the imperial seal and were busy asking around on the reef island, searching for Zheng Ya's whereabouts and contact information, the Yin Empress's forces won the seal with a pyrrhic victory and celebrated in the air: "Haha, the seal has recognized me! You will all follow me to ascend to the upper realm..."
"Haha, that's great, congratulations to the Empress..." The loyal cultivators offered their congratulations in droves, ignoring the angry glares and slander from the crowd who had failed to seize the seal, and danced joyfully in the air.
With a "hum," Wu Wei stealthily approached, waiting for his chance to appear and snatch the seal: "Idiot, you're laughing too soon. The seal itself is gladly accepted, hehehe."
"Ah, Wu Wei, you traitor! Die! Ignite your soul! Kill her!" Overjoyed, the Empress Yin, caught off guard, had her seal stolen. Enraged, she ordered the Nascent Soul cultivator to detonate the contract she had made with Wu Wei, fighting desperately...
