Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 268 - 170: Irresistible Benefits

There’s absolutely no possibility of failure, because every failure has been wiped away.

In fact, this isn’t even the limit of this kind of method.

Just look at Cultivator Shen Yu right now and you’ll understand.

Cultivator Shen Yu’s rapid breakthrough, in the eyes of many, was clearly another manifestation of the method he used that day to help Qingfeng True Master break through.

A manifestation that doesn’t bother calculating the cost.

Faced with a power that’s far stronger than so-called resources—so much so that it’s not even in the same league—even Earth Immortals find it a huge temptation!

This is equivalent to an infinitely precious breakthrough resource.

The majority of Earth Immortals also long for the next level of cultivation; otherwise, once they lose their future desires, they risk falling into the calamity within themselves.

So, you can imagine how moved they are.

It really is an irresistible temptation.

But, after all, they are Earth Immortals. Even when previously risking their lives for some resource, it was never just rushing in blindly.

They always first make calculations and conduct investigations.

At this level, it’s not so easy to fall into the trap of desire anymore.

At this moment, Taihe Earth Immortal was the first to speak: "May I ask, how strong is the calamity befalling that world, and who are our enemies?"

Cultivator Shen Yu was already prepared.

"Let’s change locations and have a proper discussion." He wasn’t planning to stand around here, either.

The others all nodded.

"That’s how it should be."

"Let’s go atop the General Mountain."

"We’ll go on ahead."

"..."

One by one, the Immortals’ figures vanished rapidly.

This wasn’t a matter of simple speed or some technique like spatial shifting; it was a much more mysterious technique. Even though Cultivator Shen Yu had now reached the Earth Immortal Realm, just catching a glimpse of this technique’s tip from these mighty Earth Immortals already made him aware of his own shortcomings.

He was way too lacking in foundation along the path of cultivation.

After all, Cultivator Shen Yu himself didn’t know much about cultivation in the first place, and he’d barely reached the True Master Realm for a couple days before hurriedly boosting his realm even further.

Now he had only the realm, but almost none of the methods appropriate for this level.

It’s fine when crushing weaker opponents with pure realm, but if he meets someone at the same level—even an existence like a Main God who’s only mastered divine authority—Cultivator Shen Yu figures he couldn’t win one-on-one.

"If I want to play a real role in this operation, I need to stock up some more techniques." Cultivator Shen Yu thought to himself.

But in fact, achieving this isn’t very difficult.

After all, the Star River Immortal Sect also has plenty of techniques, and as long as you master the method, using techniques doesn’t consume much Gray Mist.

At least it’s far less than what’s required for a breakthrough in major realms.

Now, after they’d arrived somewhere safe, all the Earth Immortals were watching Cultivator Shen Yu with burning eyes.

On the way over, they’d already learned from Taihe Earth Immortal what Cultivator Shen Yu meant by "reward."

At this point, even the most cautious Earth Immortal couldn’t ignore it.

And that’s exactly the effect Cultivator Shen Yu wanted.

He didn’t dither, raising his hand and directly projecting the scene of the other world in vivid detail as an image.

He narrated as well.

"That’s a multi-plane world, with over a hundred different Planes, and there’s an extraordinary power there called magic. The enemies facing the human Dao in that world are divine spirits—a group of innate beings. From the moment they’re born, they possess eternal immortality and lifeforce, with at least True Master level power, and mastery over divine authority originating from the extraordinary source..."

For powerhouses at the Earth Immortal level, it wasn’t difficult to accept the concepts of the Magic World.

Though they’d lived for countless ages, from their outward appearances it was clear not many of them were stubborn old fogeys.

On the contrary, cultivation demands a mind full of wisdom regarding the big picture.

That’s why they were able to accept Cultivator Shen Yu and the Association’s existence so easily in the face of facts.

This time was no different.

After Cultivator Shen Yu finished speaking, they began discussing immediately.

"Innate divine spirits, born possessing the Dao Fruit of Eternal Life—there are such beings?"

"Didn’t he just say they’re born right from the extraordinary source? If it were in our world, they’d be like heaven-born, heaven-nourished spirits—the same as Innate Spirits."

"How primitive and ignorant. They have power and realm, but act like children—how utterly immature."

"Indeed, it’s ridiculous that they would destroy the human Dao over such a laughable reason."

"Even if they succeed, the new humans they create will one day develop the urge to break away. That’s life’s instinct."

"We only need to slaughter the gods, and this world’s great catastrophe is over."

"Eleven Main Gods—how many Earth Immortals should we send?"

"We’ve got to leave some to guard the sect."

"..." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Cultivator Shen Yu noticed these Earth Immortals not only quickly accepted everything about the Magic World, they’d actually already begun making plans for the campaign.

From the number to send, to the specific battle plans—

They were discussing everything.

And they’d also occasionally ask Cultivator Shen Yu questions.

For example, what methods these Main Gods had.

What the members of that world could accomplish.

Cultivator Shen Yu answered everything he knew, one by one.

He actually felt rather relaxed.

Unlike interstellar world Shen Yu, who had to actively seek status and voice to gather as much strength as possible and lead the whole salvation process—

Cultivator Shen Yu was just the opposite.

He could already use his grip on the only hope for orthodox breakthrough to gain extraordinary status and influence.

And in this Immortal Cultivation World where a unified force hadn’t formed, all the competing Immortal Sects and powerful individuals—even their conflicts—actually further solidified Cultivator Shen Yu’s position.

This meant he never had to worry about his own status or sway, and could just sit back and watch the powerful cultivators go all out for their own interests.

It felt particularly easy.

"In the Immortal Cultivation World, even the art of saving the world has a distinct style," Cultivator Shen Yu thought to himself in delight.

Finally, these experienced Earth Immortals came to a mature decision.

They’d first send three to conduct an on-site investigation.

Not just to check the world itself, but more importantly, to see the results of fighting the Main Gods.

Then, based on those outcomes, they’d make follow-up assignments.

Anyway, with the small world, the rest could wait inside for now, and if anything went wrong, they could go right over at any time.

Cultivator Shen Yu had no objections to the plan.

Being cautious is a good thing—in case the Earth Immortals in the Magic World find their power cut down by lack of spiritual energy?

Step-by-step probing is safest.’

Once he agreed, everything else became simple.

The many Earth Immortals quickly selected three.

The Sect Leader of Star River Immortal Sect, Taihe Earth Immortal, and the most powerful in combat among them, Dan Sword Immortal, were all among the three.

Compared to the three Earth Immortals who had previously gone to investigate Cultivator Shen Yu, only one change had occurred.

The new addition was the one with the deepest realm among all the Earth Immortals, who needed the reward the most; though perhaps not as strong as Dan Sword Immortal, his methods were many, more suited to dealing with all kinds of emergencies.

And these three were also the most trusted by the other Earth Immortals.

Besides these three, there were a full thirteen Earth Immortals and a hundred sixty-four True Masters waiting inside Cultivator Shen Yu’s small world.

So, right now outside at the Star River Immortal Sect, only two Earth Immortals remained.

This could be considered unprecedentedly weak.

However, the matter was so secretive—even if there was a traitor among the Earth Immortals, it would be difficult for them to spread the news out.
