42: Let's have a small meeting first

Hasgard finally let go of the heavy burden on his heart, discarded his cultivation, and walked down step by step towards the sunlight.

Strangely enough, the moment he took off his Saint Cloth, the black and red runes on it completely disappeared, just like Shi Jingmo's Saint Cloth!

That's right, the patterns on Shi Jingmo's Saint Cloth also disappeared, and this itself seemed to represent the 'Master's' mark of control over them.

"Alright, so where do we go next?"

Nezha was the first to ask.

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on Tang Ku.

The Monk scratched his head, spread his hands, and said, "I have no idea, what about you?"

Yang Jian stroked his chin and frowned, "I've already sent messages to my Grass-Headed Gods, telling them to spread out and find the Immortals and Gods of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, to see how many of them are still alive, and to try to gather them... Although our individual strengths are all above Golden Immortal, our influence is too weak. Who knows what that Master has brought from other worlds... Oh, sorry Great Master, I wasn't talking about you!"

The last sentence was directed at Shi Jingmo, who smiled indifferently and didn't take it to heart.

"And there's another important issue!"

The Bull Demon King said helplessly, "Don't forget, we don't even know the enemy's identity, their purpose, or the location of their base camp. We don't even know if the opponent is from this world... Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated. We are completely ignorant about them right now!"

Nezha sat on the ground, deep in thought, appearing quite troubled... Thinking so hard was truly a bit much for him.

"Amitabha!"

Shi Jingmo chanted a Buddhist name and said, "Actually, we are not completely ignorant about them. At the very least, I can provide some effective information, but their true core secrets, I'm sorry, I don't know... Hmm, first of all, I can confirm to you that that Master is definitely not from this world! Although he seems to understand this world very well, his understanding seems to be only superficial. He doesn't know many details about this world, such as the whereabouts of the various demons, the whereabouts of the human gods and cultivators, and the various hidden secrets of the Three Realms. He also doesn't know about the Purgatory that Master once mentioned."

"Then how did he come to understand this world?"

Tang Ku frowned slightly.

"Hmm, I heard it was a book!"

Shi Jingmo frowned slightly, "But, what specific book it is, no one else knows!"

Tang Ku couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking to himself, "What book is it? In my previous life on Earth, almost everyone in the land of Huaxia knew this book!"

However, this also indirectly indicated that the so-called Master was very likely from the same world as himself, or a very similar world.

But as far as Tang Ku knew, there didn't seem to be ultimate powerhouses of this level on Earth in his previous life.

"And then there's the matter of technological creations..."

Tang Ku suddenly remembered something and took out a tiny, pea-sized object from an inner pocket in his sleeve.

Everyone looked closely, and it turned out to be a fly.

"Does Holy Monk also have a hobby of collecting insects? But this fly looks a bit unusual, are its wings made of glazed glass?"

Nezha said in surprise.

Shi Jingmo's expression turned serious: "This is... a technological creation?"

Tang Ku was startled and asked, "You recognize it?"

Shi Jingmo said, "At our time, the technological level had not reached this extent... However, this should indeed be a technological creation, only the precision and the energy source are more advanced..."

"That's right, this is a technological creation..."

Tang Ku said, "You can pass it around and see if you have any insights!"

Yang Jian picked up the fly, scanned it with his forehead eye, and his pupils constricted. He said in shock, "This thing looks like the Mohist school's organ techniques, but it's countless times more ingenious. And such a small thing can be made with such precision, even the patterns on the wings are simulated perfectly. This is a bit incredible. How tiny must the tools be to achieve this level? And even more outrageous is... it actually uses Samadhi True Fire as its energy source... In other words, without external force, this thing can run for thousands of years!"

"Really?"

This time it was Tang Ku's turn to be shocked, "You can see so much just by looking at it?"

The Bull Demon King carefully took the tiny fly from Yang Jian's hand. Speaking of which, with the size of his palm, this thing in his palm was even smaller than the mole on his hand.

"This... why can I faintly feel a subtle fluctuation from it, and this fluctuation seems to be able to transmit to very, very distant places?"

Although the Old Bull looked like a brute, he was meticulous and instantly discovered the problem.

"That's right, the so-called 'Master' uses this kind of thing to monitor the world!" Tang Ku said, "There should be sound and image transmission devices inside, which can directly connect to the display in front of that 'Master,' and he can control it at will!"

"This little toy can be that powerful?"

Nezha picked up the fly, scrutinized it, and finally said helplessly, "I can't see anything. I just think this thing is too much like a fly, it just... Holy cow..."

A massive figure suddenly leaped out, curled its tongue, and directly swept the fly away, swallowing it into its belly.

Everyone looked at Brick with a helpless expression.

Alright, the square-faced monster looked at Tang Ku innocently, completely unaware of what wrong he had done.

"...Perhaps it's because this thing is driven by Samadhi True Fire, so Brick is very sensitive to it!"

Yang Jian said with a bitter smile.

Nezha remembered the scene of Brick playing tricks on him, turned to stare at the fellow, and said, "Can I kill him now?"

Tang Ku's mouth twitched for a moment, then he said, "Forget it, if he ate it, he ate it. We don't have the relevant scientific instruments now, and we can't trace the source of the signal through this thing. To put it bluntly, it's useless!"

"So now, the clue is still broken?"

Nezha said helplessly, "How exactly are we supposed to find the enemy's lair... So vexing..."

The Bull Demon King, however, suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "Actually, I've always been thinking, the Saints in the Three Realms are immortal and indestructible. Immortals and Gods might be erased by the opponent, but surely Saints wouldn't be erased as well!"

Yang Jian said with a bitter smile, "I've been to Doushuai Palace, and Old Lord also..."

"No, that's not right!"

Tang Ku suddenly shook his head and said, "Even Saints might not be able to resist that kind of energy that suppresses the power of Immortals and Gods, but with their Divine Ability, they would always have time to leave some clues or something. I think we should go to the Dao fields of the several Saints and take a look... They have gone through countless tribulations and would never just disappear so silently..."

"That's right!"

Nezha's eyes lit up, "The Saints must have left the key to breaking the situation. Anyway, we have a lead now, so why not go to the Saints' Dao fields and take a look? Maybe there will be a surprise!"

The Bull Demon King scoffed, "You're finally smart for once!"

"Can I kill him?" Nezha's cheeks twitched twice, and he pointed at the Old Bull, saying gloomily.
