Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 1031 - 1029: Instinct and Grappling

Xiang Tiandi thought again about Zhou Bai, then shook his head: 'Maybe I can make Wang Lingguan suffer a loss, but with the 170% Immune to All Techniques, 180% Five Qi Dynasties, the Divine Power, and the 190% Creation Dao Skill... he is invincible.'

As a former true god who achieved over 190% Dao Transformation, Xiang Tiandi clearly understands how many cards Dutian Great Spirit Officer has, not to mention their artifacts.

So, he had no interest in engaging with them and decided to go underground, planning to continue hiding.

'This time, I won't come out until I restore my cultivation to its peak and am fully prepared.'

However, after thinking about it, he produced several clones formed from Taoist Primordial Divine Power.

'To be cautious, I should leave some clones to monitor external news, so as not to be blind and miss everything once I emerge.'

During this time, while recovering his cultivation, Xiang Tiandi also intensely practiced the Clone Technique, achieving significant progress and remarkable results.

In the next moment, a total of twelve clones soared into the sky, transforming into twelve electric lights, each flying in different directions.

...

In a valley perpetually frozen in ice, Zhou Bai walked quietly towards the depths.

In the past few days, he had been tracking traces of the Sky Flipping Sect, encountering various hiding, transfers, and ambushes, as if a pair of eyes that could pierce through everything were monitoring him, seeing through each of his movements, thoughts, and choices... always acting ahead of him, repeatedly evading Zhou Bai.

'Qian Wangsun... is it you?'

As Zhou Bai stepped into the valley, he saw massive layers of ice enclosing one demon after another, their bodies emitting stirred blood and qi, seeming to wake up any moment and leap forth from the ice.

When Zhou Bai entered deeper into the valley, he saw Qian Wangsun, with white hair, facing away from him, gazing at a giant dragon shadow in an ice mountain.

Zhou Bai chuckled: "Is the Sky Flipping Sect under your control now?"

Qian Wangsun turned around with a joking grin, saying, "Even when I was in Dao School, I never thought I'd directly drop out and take the road of the underworld."

Looking at the white-haired Qian Wangsun in front of him, Zhou Bai was greatly surprised. Although there was no change in appearance, the other gave him a feeling as if he had aged decades, with eyes full of vicissitudes.

This shook Zhou Bai's heart, and he asked, "You should take care of your body, don't ruin yourself by assuming you're young."

Qian Wangsun sighed: "Do you know how many times I've heard crap like this? Can't you stop asking?"

Zhou Bai: "These days, have you met me many times using your foreknowledge ability? Had many conversations?"

Qian Wangsun nodded: "Yes, otherwise, with your treacherous tricks and perverted ideas, if I hadn't prepared in advance, how would I dare to face you? Just the stinking..."

Qian Wangsun thought about it, showing a compliant face: "Forget it, I won't mention it."

Zhou Bai was angry: "Others saying so is one thing, but you, with your foreknowledge ability, should know that my techniques are profound, how can they be treacherous or perverted?"

Qian Wangsun: "Ha ha, you know yourself."

Zhou Bai: "Since you've had many conversations with me, you should know how reliable, how righteous I am. I've roamed the world relying on this sense of justice..."

Qian Wangsun: "Alright, alright, everyone knows each other's roots. Who doesn't know whom? Why boast? How many times have you destroyed this planet..."

Zhou Bai was angry: "How can my sense of justice be mere boasting?" Followed by complex words, mentioning "environmental protection," "sustainable development," "orthodox sects," "world peace," and more, arousing Qian Wangsun's continuous ridicule.

Qian Wangsun couldn't be bothered to pay attention to those words. The more foreknowledge opportunities he had, the more it seemed he'd lived many lifetimes, now far more mature than before, understanding Zhou Bai far beyond anyone else.

'Hmph, no one in this world understands Zhou Bai better than me.'

Qian Wangsun casually said: "The Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques of the Sky Flipping Sect, although flawed, about 10% of cultivators can't resist demon instincts, I've improved it enough so that this probability will keep decreasing."

"My goal is to control this rate below three out of a thousand, and now more newborns die each year than this, I find it completely acceptable."

"As for animals gaining intelligence, it's inevitable. In fact, wilderness lands often have animals awakening demon bloodlines, previously considered mutations by us, do you know where they all went?"

Qian Wangsun lowered his head to look at the thick ice layer beneath, saying slowly: "They have all been secretly brought here by Zhu Long of the Demon Clan, hibernating."

Zhou Bai looked down into the deep ice, those endless shadows, speaking slowly: "Have you already decided to continue promoting the Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques? Like Li Xiuzhu?"

"Exactly."

"Then you also know I want to stop the Sky Flipping Sect?"

"Indeed."

"Li Xiuzhu is dead."

"The Sect Hierarch sacrificed his life for his ideals, something he had long prepared to do... Besides, he deserves to rest and have a good sleep."

"Can we avoid fighting?"

"I have no intention of fighting; we can cooperate."

A slight change appeared in Zhou Bai's gaze: "Cooperate? That's not quite like Li Xiuzhu's plan, is it? Are you sure the other members of the Sky Flipping Sect will agree?"

Qian Wangsun said, "The Sect Hierarch was an undisputed hero; he contributed immensely to the Sky Flipping Sect and achieved much. I owe my current position greatly to the foundation he laid down over the past twenty years."

The next moment, a surge of arrogance emanated from Qian Wangsun: "But he is him, and I am me. Now that the Sky Flipping Sect is under my leadership, it will follow a path I choose, rather than simply tracing the steps taken by the Sect Hierarch."

Zhou Bai curiously asked, "Have you said that speech many times before?"

Qian Wangsun replied irritably, "Why do you always have to ask? How concerned are you with this, really?"

Zhou Bai said, "The art of showing off is profound and extensive; you have a long way to go, little Qian."

Qian Wangsun ignored him and just said, "Do you know why demons have the instinct to devour humans?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Zhou Bai's gaze sharpened; this was one of the biggest conflicts between demons and humans. He replied, "Isn't it because the hatred of countless years of war between humans and demons has imprinted itself into the bloodlines of demons, passed down through generations?"

Qian Wangsun said, "That's what I originally believed too..."

As he spoke, the iceberg trembled, and a thick layer of ice gradually cracked. A dragon head as large as a mountain emerged, its eyes as tall as buildings locking onto Zhou Bai.

When those dragon eyes gazed at him for a moment, Zhou Bai felt an all-encompassing pressure descend upon him.

'It's the giant dragon that appeared the last time before Time Reverse, during the grand wedding of Heaven... Christina said this creature is Zhu Long. Although it doesn't possess as many diverse techniques as the God Emperor and Tai Shang, back then it didn't seem much weaker, ranking as the Demon Clan's top force aside from the Demon Saint.'

Zhu Long coldly regarded Zhou Bai: "Qian Wangsun, is this Zhou Bai?"

Qian Wangsun nodded, "Indeed, it's him."

Zhu Long gave him a few more looks and said nonchalantly, "I can't see the shameless, vulgar, crazy, and deranged person you described..."

Qian Wangsun rolled his eyes, and Zhou Bai couldn't help but shout, "What the hell nonsense did you say about me?"

Qian Wangsun replied, "I merely introduced your specialties, all minor matters; no need to mind them. Let's focus on the main topic now."

"Zhu Long, tell Zhou Bai what you know. This will be the foundation of our cooperation."

...

During the time when Qian Wangsun, Zhou Bai, and Zhu Long were discussing.

Above Donghua City, a series of lights like auroras enveloped the city, rapidly covering the entire area.

"Hybrids are the great scourge of heaven and earth, undermining the foundation of our human Dao and must not be tolerated."

The Dutian Great Spirit Officer descended over the city, slightly frowning: "You've left so many hybrids? How did this happen?"

At that moment, looking at the city full of hybrid mortals, the Great Spirit Officer felt like he was seeing a kitchen that hadn't been cleaned in ages, filled with cockroaches upon opening the door.

The Ghost Reaper, Ming Yue, the four Immortal Lords, and other local figures stood behind him, with a trace of embarrassment on their faces.

After meeting the Dutian Great Spirit Officer, just a few moves with a Taoist primordial spirit power of 190% Docility, he subdued them, and his presence carried the orthodox lineage of the spiritual clan and news from the Supreme Heaven's inner Heavenly Court, immediately inclining the Ghost Reaper and others to feel keenly connected with him.

And after the Dutian Great Spirit Officer actively showcased some of the newly developed Immortal Dao techniques from the Supreme Heaven's interior.

Various weapons infused with powerful Artifact Spirits, the algorithm-guided Luotian Dao Skill, and the significantly expanded range of the Creation Dao Skill left the many immortals marveling at the flourishing Immortal Dao under the leadership of the Golden Mother Primordial Lord.

Additionally, there was a method developed in the Supreme Heaven to restore cultivation after the distortion of the Heavenly Dao called the External Dao Exposition Method.

The Dutian Great Spirit Officer used this method to exchange Dao techniques with the immortals' Taiwei Jiuchen Algorithm, which brought them immense joy, eagerly studying and combining it with the Taiwei Jiuchen Algorithm to restore their cultivation.

The Dutian Great Spirit Officer, sensing the embarrassed emotions of several Immortals, sighed gently about the decline of Immortal Dao outside, then turned his gaze to the city below: "So Zhou Bai is here?"

Ming Yue nodded with a complex expression and said, "Spirit Officer, be careful... his abilities are quite bizarre."

"No problem, without the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, he's ultimately like an ant."

The Dutian Great Spirit Officer did not have the habit of greeting these hybrid mortals or Zhou Bai below. He reached out, and the space where Donghua City resided began to shrink slowly, as if about to leap into his hand, intending to capture the entire city and its people as one.
