431: Any plan will be futile.

“You…?”

Hearing this, Wu Linglong’s uneasy premonition reached its peak.

But after much thought, she still forced a smile, wanting to explain and salvage the situation as much as possible: “Shi Tian, I actually…”

“Enough, I already know your intentions.”

Emperor Shitian directly Sealed her completely, not listening to anything she wanted to say next.

“Since you think Burial Dao is a good match for you, I will help you fulfill that wish.”

“Come, take her to the Celestial Burial Valley altar and prepare for the Celestial Burial ritual.”

The moment his voice fell.

Several more Prodigies from the Heavenly Revelation Divine Mansion stepped out and, without a word, escorted Wu Linglong away.

Celestial Burial Valley.

This was a special area he had investigated using various methods after entering the Immortal Hidden Land.

Legend has it that this place is the true burial ground of Immortals.

The special Laws contained within it are enough to bury everything.

And deep within the Celestial Burial Valley, there also exists a Celestial Burial Formation from the Immortal Ancient era.

Once this Formation is unleashed, it is enough to bury everything.

However, to successfully activate this Formation,

It requires the power of the Immortal Dao from myths, or the Blood of Immortals.

In this declining era, it was impossible for him to find these things.

Therefore, he could only find a substitute.

According to his investigations and deductions,

The Bloodline of Destined Immortal Supporter, which is very similar to the Bloodline of Immortals, was the best choice.

However,

The Destined Immortal Supporter’s Bloodline, similar to that of Immortals, is extremely thin.

Originally, only a tiny drop of an Immortal’s Blood was needed to activate the Celestial Burial Formation.

It might require all the Origin essence Blood of a Destined Immortal Supporter to activate even a very small portion of the Celestial Burial Formation’s original power.

But for him, that was enough.

Coupled with his trump card, the Immortal Sealing Diagram, it could definitely be considered a great weapon against Kong Wudao!

Moreover, to be safe,

He had already secretly ordered people to contact the unified entity created by An Wushen, as well as other unified entities.

To collectively launch a hunt for Kong Wudao.

His plan could be said to be perfect.

He had An Wushen and his large group of cannon fodder to delay and buy him time for his secret arrangements.

And he could completely destroy Wu Linglong, preventing her from becoming an aid to his enemy, Kong Wudao, in the end.

Even if he failed, it wouldn’t matter.

He could still drag Kong Wudao into a dead end.

Because he would find every way to pin the blame for Wu Linglong’s death on Kong Wudao.

Even if Kong Wudao could retreat unscathed from the Immortal Hidden Land,

He would inevitably be targeted by numerous forces, even the Origin God Clan, making it impossible for him to move an inch in the entire Extraterritorial Land!

“Go, notify Youwei to come.”

Emperor Shitian turned to a follower beside him and instructed: “I have important matters to entrust to her.”

“Yes.”

After this follower disappeared,

The playful look on Emperor Shitian’s lips became even more apparent.

The fact that Chu Youwei was the only Cultivator who survived the 123rd Trial Path had already aroused his suspicion.

Apart from her, all the Prodigies who successfully reached the top on that Trial Path were killed by Kong Wudao alone.

Even if Chu Youwei’s explanation later was perfect,

He already had his own conjecture about it in his Heart-Nature.

It was highly probable that Chu Youwei had already leaned towards Kong Wudao since then.

Furthermore, he had always been sending people to observe the movements of various parties in the Immortal Hidden Land.

He naturally saw that Kong Wudao was extensively hunting the Prodigies involved in the joint plan led by An Wushen.

For the other party to so accurately find these Prodigies and launch active hunts,

Someone must have been tipping him off.

And this intentional tip-off was highly likely to be Chu Youwei, who had long shown anomalies.

His principle had always been: better to kill a thousand innocent than to let one guilty person escape!

Now, Chu Youwei was also decisively abandoned by him.

Using her as a chess piece to lure Kong Wudao into the trap!

“Burial Dao…”

Emperor Shitian stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes, flickering with brilliant Divine Flames, gazed into the distance.

“This place will be where you and I truly decide the victor…”

“In the Heavenly Domain, there will only ever be one legend…”

………

At the same time.

Kong Wudao, who had just hunted another group of Prodigies, heard the System’s broadcast again while on his way.

【Ding! Detected that due to the host’s indirect actions, the Heavenly Mandate Era’s protagonist Emperor Shitian and the daughter of destiny Wu Linglong have completely broken ties!】

【daughter of destiny Wu Linglong has 15,000 heavenly mandate points deducted, remaining 42,000 heavenly mandate points!】

【Heavenly Mandate Era’s protagonist Emperor Shitian has 40,000 heavenly mandate points deducted, remaining 300,000 heavenly mandate points!】

【Congratulations to the host for triggering a double critical hit, successfully obtaining 110,000 heavenly mandate points!】

The sudden super windfall left Kong Wudao a bit stunned.

How did Wu Linglong and Emperor Shitian suddenly break ties out of nowhere?

Could it be because Wu Linglong directly spoke her mind to Emperor Shitian?

After all, he was well aware that Wu Linglong wanted to make him the first recipient of the Celestial Support Divine Body’s feedback.

This was the only reason that could cause the two to completely break ties.

Although the reason was somewhat inexplicable,

This sudden windfall made his mood much better.

Just then,

Chu Youwei suddenly sent him intelligence again.

After understanding the information in his mind,

Kong Wudao’s brows furrowed slightly.

“That guy Emperor Shitian… has he also secretly colluded with An Wushen, and even several other unified entities?”

“Celestial Burial Valley… what kind of place is that?”

Although the sudden news left him somewhat confused,

His current mission objective was very clear.

To clear out those ants who might cause trouble at a critical moment.

As for that so-called Celestial Burial Valley,

He also needed to check it out.

Even if there really was a killer move prepared by Emperor Shitian for him there,

He didn’t care at all.

He had no shortage of trump cards.

“Emperor Shitian, I hope you can make this enjoyable enough for me.”

With a light chuckle, Kong Wudao continued to step into the Void Realm.

………

At the same time.

Chu Youwei, who had just finished secretly transmitting a message to Kong Wudao, let out a long sigh of relief.

“Thankfully… no one captured my Divine Thought…”

“Emperor Shitian might already be suspicious of me… I can’t stay here any longer, it’s wise to quickly rendezvous with Burial Dao…”

Chu Youwei was a bit flustered at this moment.

The expression Emperor Shitian showed when he deliberately sought her out for a private conversation earlier made her increasingly uneasy the more she thought about it.

That playful and indifferent gaze seemed to have already seen through her Heart-Nature.

She also always had a premonition.

If she continued to stay by Emperor Shitian’s side, something bad would definitely happen.

Just as Chu Youwei was about to conceal her Qi and leave.

“Since you have already provided your value to Burial Dao,”

“At the final moment, it’s time for you to display your value to me, isn’t it?”

Boom!!

Without any warning, an exquisite pagoda flowing with brilliant divine light shattered the Void Realm and directly pressed down towards Chu Youwei.

Chu Youwei’s expression changed drastically.

She had completely not expected Emperor Shitian to suddenly reveal her identity, and even more so, to attack her so decisively!

Her strength and Emperor Shitian’s were already vastly different.

Coupled with the assistance of other Heavenly Revelation Divine Mansion Prodigies nearby,

She was almost suppressed directly into the exquisite pagoda with no resistance whatsoever!

At this moment, Emperor Shitian arrived, stepping on golden light.

With a wave of his hand, he shrunk the exquisite pagoda that was confining and Sealing Chu Youwei, and held it in his palm.

“Go, take this traitor to An Wushen and the others, and let them deal with her as they please.”

Then, with another wave of his hand, he handed the exquisite pagoda to a follower beside him.

That follower looked puzzled and asked, “Lord Shi Tian, why not directly kill this damned traitor?”

“But instead hand her over to others to deal with?”

Emperor Shitian chuckled softly.

“Since we are cooperating with An Wushen and these guys,”

“Naturally, we also need to show our sincerity, don’t we?”

“Isn’t this traitor who tipped them off the best sincerity?”

“Once we show enough sincerity, these cannon fodder will work harder for us and buy us time, won’t they?”

Upon hearing this, that Prodigy from the Heavenly Revelation Divine Mansion immediately showed a look of immense admiration.

A mere Burial Dao was incomparable to the Lord they followed!

With his super strength and talent, coupled with his strategic Heart-Nature,

Burial Dao would inevitably fall into their Lord’s hands!

But he didn’t know the saying: In the face of absolute strength, all schemes will appear pale and powerless.

And later,

He, and all of them, would come to know.

How foolish and useless their so-called perfect plan truly was.
