Chapter 199 When the Clan Chief Wan was enraged...
Chu Xingjin happened to be with the chieftain when he was enraged.
"Are you all made of straw? The Xie family has suffered such a huge disaster, and you're only finding out now? And even knowing all this, you're still acting according to the original plan?"
Enraged, he lashed out with his whip: "Use your pig brain to think! Now the whole world knows that the Wan family has learned nothing but how to imitate others. They're nothing but clowns following the Xie family."
Chu Xingjin thoughtfully served a cup of tea to the Wan clan chief: "Clan chief, there's no need to be angry. The Wan clan still relies on you. The matter has already occurred; the main thing is how to resolve it."
Elder Wan had kept his eyes closed out of fear, which prevented him from dodging the whip. Now, he finally dared to open them a little, which aggravated the whip wound, causing him to hiss in pain.
"Clan Chief, Young Master Chu, what should we do?" If we don't follow the original plan, what plan should we follow? The clan chief hasn't given any instructions, so how could he dare to make decisions on his own?
Clan Chief Wan couldn't help but close his eyes, out of sight, out of mind, and said with his eyes closed, "Little Chu, tell me, what should we do?"
"Now, although we don't know why, the seal on the Xie clan is gradually being repaired, and the number of magical beasts in the Xie clan's territory is decreasing. This has been acknowledged by most people. Since that's the case, why not use this opportunity to bind the Wan clan and the Xie clan together?"
Chief Wan felt better; he still preferred talking to Chu Xingjin.
Elder Wan looked bewildered: "Clan leader, you mean..."
What were they saying? He didn't understand at all.
Chief Wan lashed out with his whip again, saying with exasperation, "Isn't it simple? Chu Xingjin has a deep relationship with the Gongshi clan and also has a long history with Xie Jiaoyue. Now that the Gongshi and Xie clans have merged into the Xie clan, it's only natural that Chu Xingjin would take care of them."
"To put it another way, let's say that the Xie family found a way to repair the seal from the Wan family. The Wan family was worried that the method was not yet mature, so they did not tell the world immediately. Now that the method is mature, if we give the Wan family some more time, the continent will gain eternal peace."
Ultimately, what they're fighting for is recognition, faith, and the hearts of the people. What they're trying to do isn't actually to eliminate a certain number of monsters or repair a certain number of seals, but to make everyone believe that the future peace and tranquility of the continent will be created by them.
The elder suddenly realized what was happening, and bowed repeatedly before retreating with a fawning expression.
Once outside, he patted his chest in relief. He didn't know why, but every time he faced Chief Wan, he felt a chill run down his spine, just like when facing a magical beast, which terrified him.
Clan Chief Wan and Chu Xingjin were not idle either. They exchanged a glance, took out teleportation talismans together, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
With countless expensive teleportation talismans thrown down, the two arrived at the Xie clan's territory in just a few breaths.
Even after arriving at a secluded corner of the Xie clan's territory, where no one would notice them, the two still wore invisibility cloaks to ensure that their figures were completely hidden and would not be noticed by anyone.
Communication relies on spiritual awareness, and it is entirely silent and unobtrusive.
[Clan leader, the demonic energy across the entire continent has been noticeably decreasing recently.]
Clan Chief Wan was naturally aware of this matter, and he couldn't help but wipe his face: "I've also noticed it; my cultivation progress has slowed down considerably recently."
The clan leader, Wan, had not made any progress in his cultivation for many years after he had reached a point of no return.
Until he accidentally encountered the first gap in the boundary, when he was on the verge of death from the impact of demonic energy, by sheer chance, he used the demonic energy to cleanse his meridians and dantian, and unexpectedly, his bottleneck of many years loosened.
After that, he spent countless hours researching how to utilize demonic energy, and as the saying goes, hard work pays off; he actually figured it out.
Ultimately, whether it's demonic energy or spiritual energy, it's just a type of energy. As long as you learn how to use it, you can use it to improve yourself.
He was not unaware that the demonic energy came from another world and was highly poisonous to people and things in this world.
But so what?
Compared to these trivial matters, his own cultivation level and the improvement of the Wan family's status were the only things he cared about.
Now, he is only one step away from truly breaking through the bottleneck, and the Wan family is only one step away from becoming the true number one family.
He recruited Chu Xingjin, and through Chu Xingjin's fortune, he glimpsed his destiny and knew exactly what he lacked.
Fortune.
Cultivation gained through demonic energy goes against the invisible will of this world. To truly break through from the Tribulation Transcending stage to the Mahayana stage, in addition to cultivation, one also needs good fortune.
Fortune is invisible and elusive, seemingly unpredictable, but with Chu Xingjin's help, he managed to figure some things out.
What he wanted was for the world to submit to him, for the Wan family to reach the pinnacle and enjoy boundless glory, for all cultivators and mortals to be convinced of the Wan family's worth, for all Wan family disciples to be convinced of his worth, and for him to become the undisputed number one person of the number one family.
At that time, he will become the only Mahayana cultivator in this world, enjoying boundless lifespan and living as long as heaven and earth.
He planned meticulously. First, he created loopholes in the boundary barrier everywhere, but Wan Shi could only keep the secret by cultivating with demonic energy himself. He gave Gong Shi a castrated cultivation method, making Gong Shi his source of wealth and henchman. Once Gong Shi was no longer of use, he would eliminate him and get rid of him. Then, he would absorb Chu Xingjin and use Chu Xingjin's fortune to complete the next step. With the help of the boundary barrier loopholes that he had intentionally eliminated, he pushed Wan Shi's fortune to its peak in one fell swoop.
Of course, he wasn't using Chu Xingjin for nothing. He needed Chu Xingjin as the starting point for the Wan family's fortune and would also share this boundless fortune with Chu Xingjin.
Chu Xingjin will not surpass him, but he will be second only to him in the number one position. The two are secretly bound together by the Demon Realm, and their alliance is unbreakable, so there is no need to worry.
In this whole plan, demonic energy dominated the first half, while popular sentiment dominated the second half. Now, on the eve of a turning point, he will gradually get rid of demonic energy, while Chu Xingjin will still need to rely on demonic energy for a period of time.
Therefore, they began to gradually resolve the loopholes in the boundary.
The speed was all calculated, but now it has been unexpectedly disrupted.
As a result, Chu Xingjin has recently felt powerless in his cultivation. The insufficient concentration of demonic energy has affected his cultivation progress, and he has had to pay a considerable price to gather demonic energy.
It's very risky; if they're discovered by someone who shouldn't, his and Chief Wan's plan will be ruined.
Chu Xingjin and the Wan clan chief exchanged a glance, maintained their stealth, and circled around the area for a while. Half an hour later, the two returned to their original spot.
"The number of gaps in the boundary has decreased significantly," Chu Xingjin concluded.
Chief Wan, deep in thought, replied: "Neither of us has entrusted the task of repairing the seal to anyone else, so there's no risk of a leak."
The two had their own thoughts, but there was no problem with trust between them, and neither was worried that the other might have any ill intentions.
Just as the two were pondering, the hole in the boundary wall in front of them miraculously healed.
After a moment of stunned silence, Chu Xingjin quickly took out the Recording Executioner and began recording. Black energy permeated the air, and the concentration of demonic energy increased for a brief moment before disappearing completely. The seal and the demonic energy vanished, leaving only broken stones that matched the surrounding area.
Chu Xingjin's actions were exactly the same as Gongshi Moyu's when they first discovered this. He also stepped on it, stomped around for a while, and then jumped a couple of times, just like a three- or five-year-old child.
His brow furrowed deeply: "It's definitely gone."
It should be noted that when Chief Wan was figuring out how to create a loophole in the boundary wall, he put in a lot of effort. At first, he carefully dug and reinforced it himself. Later, he used the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth to set up an array to cause the two worlds to collide. This even caused the boundary wall of this world to teeter on the brink of collapse, and the entire world was almost destroyed.
As far as he knew, there were many other disappearances during that period that were related to this, and the clan leader Wan speculated that these missing people had most likely gone to the Demon Realm.
He lacked imagination; otherwise, he might have guessed that, besides the Demon Realm, there were also souls from other worlds who infiltrated this place through the unstable boundary.
The crack had always existed, which gave Xie Jiaoyue the opportunity to come.
The breach in the boundary wall that Chief Wan had put in so much effort to create is now extremely complicated to repair.
Chu Xingjin found a small loophole that was still "surviving" in the surrounding area. He first took out rare and precious materials worth a fortune and set up an array around it. He was very careful with every step, and even tied his cuffs carefully, for fear that the wind he stirred up would destroy the array.
The main function of this formation is to gather spiritual energy. However, it is different from ordinary and cheap spiritual energy gathering formations. In order to repair the boundary wall, it is necessary to rebuild the five elements of energy. Therefore, it is necessary to extract and classify the five elements of spiritual energy from the mixed spiritual energy and then mix them according to a special method.
After that, he took out the inner core of a Nascent Soul stage magical beast.
Since it is a boundary wall, it cannot only be the cultivation world. The demon world also needs to be repaired. Such a high concentration of demon world substances can only be the inner core of demon beasts for them.
It can't be someone with too low a cultivation level; at least the Nascent Soul stage would be best.
As Chu Xingjin made the arrangements, he secretly grumbled to himself.
According to his calculations, if the damage could be repaired from the Demon Realm, the abundant demonic energy would eliminate the need for demonic beast cores. The cultivation world had long suffered from the flaws in the boundary wall, and with just a little spiritual energy, the boundary wall's self-healing ability could be triggered, without the need for such a complicated process.
Unfortunately, they can't just go to the Demon Realm. They want to repair it from the cultivation world, but the boundary of the cultivation world is probably afraid of the cultivators' antics. It takes a lot of resources to get the boundary to start recovering.
Another half hour later, the vulnerability was finally fixed.
It looks exactly the same as the previous one that "self-healed".
After studying the matter for a while and confirming that there were no problems, the expressions of the two clan leaders became increasingly serious.
Could it have been leaked?
No, no one else knows about this except the two of us. Furthermore, if the Xie family used their resources to fix such a vulnerability, we wouldn't have been completely unaware.
The mysteriously disappeared boundary wall vulnerability, which wasn't repaired with a lot of resources, could it be Xie Jiaoyue in the Demon Realm?
Chu Xingjin shook his head with a smile as soon as the thought popped into his head, banishing it from his mind.
How could that be? That's the Demon Realm, a Demon Realm teeming with demonic energy and omnipresent magical beasts.
Even he and the clan leader of the Wan clan would find it difficult to survive in the Demon Realm.
Ultimately, he never considered the possibility of surviving in the Demon Realm, nor did he ever try.
He is the chosen one of Heaven, and his partner is the head of a top-tier aristocratic family. Why would they need to suffer like this?
