Chapter 196: The Ye Family's Purpose!

“But what do you think of the Ye Family's invitation? This Ye Family specifically invited you. Do you plan to talk to them with your true identity, or do you intend to speak with them using your current one? However, even if you speak with them using your current identity, they probably won't believe you easily. Instead, they'll investigate you. But if you speak with them with your true identity, it’s highly likely to cause them apprehension. After all, with your true identity, there should be no one in the entire Cultivation World who is your match.”

Divine Lord Dayan mentioned another matter: not long ago, the Ye Family sent someone specifically to contact Zhao Changsheng. However, the Ye Family was not clear about Zhao Changsheng's identity; they simply wanted to join forces with him to plot something big. This was mainly because the Divine Ability and strength Zhao Changsheng had displayed these past few days were simply too powerful.

Of course, as for the Ye Family, it wasn't that they hadn't doubted Zhao Changsheng's identity. However, even so, they were prepared to cooperate with him. The Ye Family were no fools; they had naturally noticed the surveillance of the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path in the Great Jin Cultivation World during this period. They had already discerned that the goal of the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path was the imitation heaven-reaching spiritual treasures they had refined.

Regarding these imitation heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, they naturally could not afford any carelessness. But keeping them safe was no easy task. It required far too much energy and time, which was difficult for the Ye Family to sustain in its current state. Therefore, the Ye Family decided to seek outside help, and Zhao Changsheng was the best candidate.

Whether in terms of identity, status, or strength, there was no better candidate than Zhao Changsheng. For one, Zhao Changsheng already had grudges against the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path, and these grudges had reached an irreconcilable point. Secondly, Zhao Changsheng's Divine Ability and strength could definitely help them, allowing the Ye Family to achieve their goals. This was primarily because Zhao Changsheng already had some connection with their Ye Family, as he had expressed some goodwill toward them during this time.

Under these circumstances, as long as the Ye Family were not fools, they should be able to judge Zhao Changsheng's favorable impression of them. Thus, it was only normal for the Ye Family to send him an invitation.

“Naturally, I will meet them with my true identity. Besides, even if I don't say anything, do you think they won't be able to guess? They aren't fools, and not everyone is a fool. I just don't understand how fools manage to Cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage. There are even those old fogies at the Soul Transformation Stage who insist on finding ways to kill me. I am clearly doing this for the sake of the entire Mortal Realm, yet they are hell-bent on killing me. Do you think there's something wrong with their heads? I really don't understand how someone with that kind of brain could Cultivate to the Soul Transformation Stage.”

Zhao Changsheng's somewhat mindless complaining made Divine Lord Dayan unable to suppress a laugh. He could naturally tell that Zhao Changsheng's words were purely a vent.

“They only want to know the secrets you carry and obtain the treasures on your person. If it weren't for the many immortal extermination pearls you have for protection, you probably wouldn't have survived until now. They will definitely not let you off easily; based on my understanding of them, they absolutely won't.”

“Unfortunately, you have far too many treasures, especially the immortal extermination pearls, which are things they desire yet deeply fear. Without them, you wouldn't have lived this long, but it's precisely because of them that you cause them such apprehension. I suspect they are currently trying everything they can to deal with you, especially seeking a method to counter the immortal extermination pearls.”

“How to counter the immortal extermination pearls? This old man has done some research lately. The simplest and most effective way is to restrict space. As long as space is restricted, all previous methods become useless. No matter how great the power of the immortal extermination pearl is, if space is restricted, it simply loses the ability to move. So this is the best possible method. However, controlling space is no easy task. A Formation is the best way, but setting up a Formation in advance and tricking you into it is almost impossible. It's a task that simply cannot be completed.”

“You should be very clear about this.”

“The only way is to find a spatial attribute treasure, but this old man feels that even in the Spirit Realm, such treasures are extremely rare. For the Mortal Realm to obtain one should be even more of an impossibility.”

“You've guessed wrong on that, Senior. Do you remember when I mentioned the two treasures of Kunwu Mountain? One of those two treasures is a spatial treasure that has a restrictive effect on space. If the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path truly obtain that treasure, they will definitely use it against me. There's no doubt about it; that's certainly their plan. If nothing unexpected happens, their main purpose in leaving the Ye Family alone until now is to use the Ye Family's hands to open Kunwu Mountain and obtain the treasures within. Currently, the Ye Family's greatest use is this—being able to open Kunwu Mountain. Only then can they successfully obtain the heaven-reaching spiritual treasures inside.”

“And the Ye Family has likely already realized this. To be honest, if it weren't for me, the first thing these Schools of the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path would have done upon learning the Ye Family's purpose was to wipe them out. But now, because of me, they don't dare do that. What they want to do is use the Ye Family's power to open Kunwu Mountain. That way, their losses can be minimized, and they can use the Ye Family to get the two heaven-reaching spiritual treasures from Kunwu Mountain. In doing so, they'll have a way to deal with me. That should be their goal; if nothing else, I really can't think of any other possibility. Otherwise, I can't understand why they've let the Ye Family survive until now.”

“This is the only possibility that makes sense right now. Aside from this, there's no other logical explanation.”

“What you say should be correct; it must be so. I have to say, the methods of the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path are truly ruthless. And this Ye Family has likely realized this, which is why they took the initiative to invite you to cooperate.”

“So, not directly stating your identity was likely a precaution—just in case the identity was wrong, they would still have the confidence to resolve the matter.”

“For example, silencing you forever to eliminate you as a hidden danger, and then going to find the real you.”

“If the identity is correct, then there's no problem. If it's correct, there's absolutely no issue; in fact, they would get what they wished for. Simultaneously, they want to use your strength to turn against the Demonic Path—or more accurately, to oppose both the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path.”

“That's no easy task. Wanting you to deal with the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path—they're simply dreaming. However, since there was never any possibility of a peace talk between you and those paths anyway, it's only natural for them to think that way. But if that's the case, will you still turn against the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path?”

“I will definitely turn against them, but certainly not because of the Ye Family. Do I not know their purpose? I'm all too clear about their little thoughts and goals. I'm perfectly aware that they want to use me to deal with the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path so they can reap the benefits. I have the same plan—I want to use their Ye Family to go to war with the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path. Of course, with the Ye Family's mediocre skills, wanting to go to war with those paths is pure suicide, but they can at least hold out for a while.”

“Overall, this Ye Family still has some utility value. For instance, in finding Kunwu Mountain. If I were to search for it myself, I don't know how long it would take. Although I have some clues, finding it in a short time is nearly impossible. Using the Ye Family is the best choice; otherwise, I would never help them like this. Since the Ye Family has invited me, wouldn't it be giving them too little Face if I didn't go? They want to use me, but I'm also someone who wants to use them. As long as I can use them well, everything will be fine later. If I can't use them well, I have the confidence to deal with it. I hope they don't disappoint me; as long as they don't, there won't be much of a problem, and everything can be resolved smoothly.”

“Then what do you plan to do, kid? How do you intend to negotiate with the Ye Family? Using the Ye Family won't be easy. After all, the Ye Family aren't fools; they won't let themselves be used by you for no reason. They must have their own goals.”

“Getting them to agree to my conditions isn't actually difficult. After all, they will certainly agree before their entire Family is destroyed. If they don't agree, they can just wait for their Family to be wiped out. Such a thing could easily happen because the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path simply cannot tolerate their Family's survival. In this situation, they have no choice but to cooperate with me and let me protect them. Although I am also a target the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path must kill, I have sufficient power to protect myself.”

“My strength can be said to be the strongest known existence in the entire Mortal Realm. One could say it's almost impossible for anyone in the Mortal Realm to oppose me. Under these circumstances, no matter what, they will choose to cooperate with me. Because they don't want to die; they want their entire Family to live. If they don't cooperate with me, they're simply seeking death, and once they do that, their entire Family will truly cease to exist. So they won't do anything stupid; I'm quite sure of that. Moreover, my conditions are not limited to just these few; I also want their Family's imitation heaven-reaching spiritual treasures. These are things I must have. It's simply impossible for me not to want them.”

“I must have these things no matter what.”

“Then what do you plan to do?”

“Simple. It's not difficult at all. I just need to display my true strength and let the Ye Family know how powerful I am. That's not hard for me. And I indeed want to use this method to bind the Ye Family. Senior, don't forget what my goal is. I am a man who wants to establish a grand Cultivation Empire. What does this matter to me? Don't you agree, Senior? This is nothing to me. To establish a grand Cultivation Empire, such a thing is nothing at all.”

Zhao Changsheng spoke of his ambition with a Face full of smiles, without the slightest intention of hiding it.

“You're right. If you hadn't said it directly, I would have forgotten that you still had this goal. Your purpose is to use the strength of the Ye Family to unify the entire Cultivation World, to unify the entire Dapu Cultivation World. After all, the Ye Family is the Great Jin Imperial Family. If they unify it, it can save a lot of trouble, especially if you can deal with both the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path; that would certainly save a lot of trouble.”

“Even if the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path are unwilling or reluctant, they can only agree. They have no room for choice; aside from agreeing, their only other path is death. And for them to seek death is simply impossible.”

“But kid, you must understand one thing. The prerequisite for achieving all this is that you must have enough strength to suppress all the forces, large and small, in the entire Mortal Realm, whether they are the Righteous Path, the Demonic Path, or those neutral powers. Without enough strength to do this, you're simply seeking death. You should be very clear about this. Without the strength, it's complete suicide; there would be no way out. When the time comes, your death might even implicate those around you. You must think this through clearly. This is not the time for arrogance; you must be extra careful and must not be careless in the slightest.”

Divine Lord Dayan couldn't help but offer a reminder, because this matter involved far too much. There couldn't be even the slightest mistake; a single error could result in unimaginable losses, the kind that simply cannot be resolved.

“Senior, rest assured. Don't worry about this; I'll handle it myself. Nothing will go wrong. If I can't even handle this, how can I hope to achieve Ascension to the Spirit Realm in the future? I must achieve Ascension to that Spirit Realm; you should know that well, Senior.”

“Alright, alright, that's true. I can't outargue you, but in the end, you must still be extra careful and must not be careless in the slightest.”
