I’m A Wasteland Giant

Chapter 360: Chapter 359: The Dispute of Daoism!

Not only were world’s powers searching for Wang Ruobing and Lin Zi, but Du Gang and the others were doing the same.

“According to your words, to find Wang Ruobing, we need to find Long Bian. And Long Bian, just a ruler of the Six-Realm Kings, is hiding among the thirty-three fairy islands…”

Du Gang looked at Moon Spirit, shaking his head, “It’s too late now. Since you knew about this intelligence, I suppose others might be aware of it too!”

Indeed, Long Bian had no clue that others were already targeting his daughter. By the time he realized it, it was too late and he was surrounded by all parties.

At the same time, Kou Yingwu, who was in charge of gathering information, finally reported back.

“Wang Ruobing has been found in the Source Land world. There is a beehive there with thousands of passages leading directly to the Source Land… Of the nine teams, eight have gone up, leaving one team behind.”

“It’s Wu Yang’s team!”

Du Gang did not need to think. Aside from this team having a reason to wait for them, the other teams had no reason to stay.

Kou Yingwu looked a bit agitated, “Aren’t they worried that others will kill the Heavenly Emperor, thus losing their chance?!”

Du Gang chuckled, “Wu Yang is, after all, the leader of one of the top ten Golden Teams. He’s not lacking intelligence. If the Heavenly Emperor could be so easily killed, this wouldn’t be a world for advancement tasks!”

Tao Xuanzhu seemed worried, “Then what do we do? We definitely can’t go to Wang Ruobing’s side!”

“Ahem!”

The Moon Spirit, who had been silently listening, coughed lightly,”We can’t go to Wang Ruobing’s side, but isn’t there Lin Zi?”

“Lin Zi?”

Kou Yingwu shook his head with a sigh, “I have inquired that Lin Zi is beyond the sixth realm, elusive and independent, no one knows her whereabouts… she can’t be found…”

On the contrary, Du Gang’s eyes brightened and he gazed intently at her, “You know Lin Zi’s location?!”

Moon Spirit nodded, “Yes, I do!”

She asked with a smile, “If I lead you to Lin Zi, can you let me go?”

She was anxiously staring at Du Gang, knowing that he was the one who could make the decision among the four.

After thoughtful contemplation for a couple of seconds, Du Gang nodded, “Yes, but not now. As you should have noted, we have enemies here. There is a certain risk in releasing you straight away, hence, I could promise that when we confirm our safety, we would let you go.”

“Are you joking? Is this how you negotiate terms?!”

Moon Spirit’s face turned pale as she let out a shout.

With a steady gaze at her, Du Gang calmly said, “Do you think you have any other choices?!”

“What you can do is to believe in my words!”

Moon Spirit was speechless. Even though she didn’t want to, she knew that Du Gang was right. Her life and death were in his hands, her survival depended on his mood.

She sighed, finally relenting helplessly, “I believe you, I hope you keep your word!”

“That goes without saying, your life doesn’t matter much to us, it is expendable!”

Du Gang nodded, promising once again.

Listening to his words, Moon Spirit heaved a deep sigh but promptly adjusted her mindset as she was strong-willed and started,

“I saw Lin Zi in the Sea of Death one day ago, she was flying towards the south…”

“I happened to learn a secret by chance. Lin Zi and the Western Emperor are somehow associated…”

Moon Spirit looked towards the south and assured, “The son of the Western Emperor, Tianji resides at the south of the Sea of Death…”

Worried they wouldn’t believe her, she added, “My relationship with Tianji isn’t bad, we’ve had some contact before. He’s timid by nature and usually hides in the Western Emperor’s Palace, but with the current situation, he’s probably hiding even better…”

“However, during a visit to the Western Emperor’s Palace, I had left a strand of my hair containing my scent, and if I’m close enough, I can locate it…”

Du Gang laughed lightly hearing this. The woman was indeed as described in the novels, having left a backup even when facing Tianji.

“Alright then, you lead the way!”

Now that Wu Yang was guarding the passage at Wang Ruobing’s side, they couldn’t go that way. Therefore, entering the Source Land from Lin Zi’s place was the best choice.

Outside the thirty-three heavens, is the fourth heaven called Four Brahma Heaven, which is under the sovereignty of Emperor Long Bian.

Wu Yang and his team were hiding around, patiently waiting for Du Gang and his team to arrive.

After waiting for about a day, a man standing next to Long Yang became impatient and whispered,

“Captain, it’s been a day. Even if Du Gang is hiding in a remote location, he should have received the news and rush over here, right?!”

Wu Yang understood what he meant. He nodded slightly and calmly stated, “I understand. It’s been a day, and he hasn’t come yet. This means he already knows that we’re waiting for him here!”

“Let’s go, Honghu. To the Source Land!”

Seeing how resolute he was, Honghu, who was planning to persuade him, was taken aback.

He hesitated, “Shouldn’t we wait a little longer?”

Wu Yang glanced at him, and smirked, “Do you really think I want to wait for them here?”

“If I really wanted to wait, I definitely wouldn’t have let the news leak…”

Honghu was taken aback, then realized, “You want to intimidate them so they won’t dare to come?!”

Wu Yang nodded, his expression unchanged, “A small four-person team is not worth me staying here waiting for a confrontation…”

“Although I don’t think it will be easy for others to complete the task, the longer we drag, the greater the variables. Therefore, one day is the time I’ve given them!”

He smirked, “If they only knew the location of Wang Ruobing, then one day would be enough for them to arrive. Once they arrive, they would encounter us…”

“And now, they haven’t come, that means they know we’re waiting here. In this case, they’re even more afraid to come!”

Hearing him say this, the people hiding around breathed a sigh of relief.

They were afraid that Wu Yang would lose his reason and lead everyone to a desperate battle, but it seems fine now.

Lastly, Wu Yang glanced at the south. That was the direction of the Sea of Death. Looking as far as they could see, the vast expanse had no sign of any living beings.

They were the first team to find Wang Ruobing. Seizing this opportunity, he had asked around among the other teams who had not encountered Du Gang’s team.

The land’s powers were almost entirely occupied by the nine teams. Only the Sea of Death still has some scattered elements capable of gathering intelligence.

All of this indicating, Du Gang’s four-man team was on the other side of the Sea of Death.

“Heh, truly pitiful beings!”

Four individuals who had just advanced to the True God level got dragged into this world of advancement tasks that only those at the peak of the True God realm could participate. One could imagine the fear in their hearts.

In his opinion, Du Gang and his team must now be shuddering in fear, awaiting death in the Sea of Death.

After all, in this world of advancement tasks, any team that fails to complete the mission is doomed to die.

He smiled faintly, shook his head, and led the way towards the Source Land.

His steps were firm, revealing no desire to kill his enemies personally.

After all, for him, death was the only suitable end for his enemies.

A day had already wasted much of their time, any more would be meaningless.

The hive inside Wang Ruobing was a scheme devised jointly by the nine emperors and the two emperors, a trap they had left in the open.

Once outsiders entered, they naturally could not escape their scrutiny.

The moment the eight reincarnators entered, the eight emperors and one emperor in the Source Land knew about it.

Being in the Source Land and observing the world from the other side of the shore stirred very different feelings. Previously, they only knew that there were more than a hundred ‘Ninth Breakers’ in the Three Realms, all of them viewing each other with suspicion.

However, when these ‘Ninth Breakers’ swarmed into the Source Land, no emperor could remain seated.

All eight emperors and the Heaven Fighting Emperor abandoned their respective origin heavens and gathered in the core area supervised by the Heavenly Emperor.

Eight Emperors and two Emperors, the ten powerful beings stationed in the Source Land, met for the first time in thirty thousand years.

Indeed, in over thirty thousand years, the ten individuals had each been supervising an origin heaven and barely met in person. This was their first gathering.

As for the turbulence they might cause in the Three Realms by leaving the Origin Heavens, they ignored it outright.

The turbulence of the Three Realms would, at worst, harm the Origin, but now, with more than a hundred ‘Ninth Breakers’ entering, people could die.

None of the emperors felt confident enough to disregard the presence of more than a hundred ‘Ninth Breakers’.

Even weaker ones like the Western Emperor and the Spirit Emperor could barely handle just over a dozen ‘Ninth Breakers’, and that too, after mustering all their strength.

“You bunch of bastards, laying your plans and scheming, why did you let all these ‘Ninth Breakers’ loose?”

South Emperor arrived and immediately started cursing.

Among the nine emperors, his personality was the most volatile and his mind simplest.

In his eyes, these ‘Ninth Breakers’ were nothing more than the machinations of others skilled in intrigues and cunning schemes.

He hadn’t bred any ‘Ninth Breakers’ himself, meaning these hundred plus people were all created by the others.

Upon hearing his cursing, Beast Emperor not only didn’t get angry, but also sided with South Emperor and scolded,

“Didn’t we agree to be chess players together? What are you doing letting these ‘Ninth Breakers’ out?”

He glared at the Heavenly Emperor, who held the center of the Source Land, “If you guys have any plans to cast me aside, I won’t hesitate to destroy this Source Land, taking everyone down with me!”

The other eight remained silent, observing each other, assessing the sincerity behind these two’s words.

Eventually, they reached the same conclusion easily: both men were telling the truth, they genuinely didn’t have any connection to the hundred plus ‘Ninth Breakers’.

After all, even though they couldn’t meet face-to-face, they could communicate through Divine Thought. They had spent ten thousand years together, so they knew what kinds of minds these two possessed.

Unless, from the very beginning, these two had been hiding behind guises and masks, but that likelihood was even smaller than the possibility of the Heavenly Emperor changing his gender.

South Emperor and Beast Emperor were loyal to Divine Emperor. Divine Emperor naturally wouldn’t leave them hanging and calmly said, “A hundred plus ‘Ninth Breakers’, it’s not necessarily something we could accomplish!”

He looked into the faces of the other emperors present, “If it were one or two ‘Ninth Breakers’, paying once’s price of extracting pieces of Divine Thought, we could indeed cultivate those. But more than a hundred of them, even if all ten of us combined, how much Divine Thought would that require?!”

His gaze swept across the crowd, “Is it possible?! If we split so much Divine Thought, our powers will inevitably decrease drastically, it’s impossible not to notice!”

Human Emperor nodded, “Correct, it’s not likely that we were the ones who spawned these ‘Ninth Breakers’. I am more inclined to believe that they were cultivated by the seed!”

The seed!

A mutual loathing resonated in everyone’s hearts, it was their greatest enemy, and also the most formidable one.

Even though no one responded, they all tacitly acknowledged the seed’s involvement.

Eastern Emperor glanced at the Heavenly Emperor, seeing that he had no intentions of speaking, and asked, “The question now is, why would the seed spawn so many ‘Ninth Breakers’?”

“Heh heh!”

The Heavenly Emperor suddenly chuckled, attracting everyone’s attention.

The Heavenly Emperor, the one who had simultaneously developed the Initial Martial Way and the Original Way and guided the nine emperors to testify the Original Way, had always been the strongest individual in everyone’s heart.

Hearing him laugh, everyone looked at him, curious about his thoughts.

The Heavenly Emperor smiled faintly, “Although I am overseeing the core of the Origin, I still maintain some connection with the Three Realms and can sense certain things…”

He spoke calmly, “As far as I know, those hundred plus ‘Ninth Breakers’ … are not from the Three Realms.”

“What?!”

People exclaimed in shock, looking at the Heavenly Emperor in astonishment.

Quickly, Human Emperor came to realization, “These people, just like Fang Ping, have come from the seed’s world!”

“That’s the only possible explanation!”

Divine Emperor sighed, “It appears that the Seed has advanced further. Its illusory world has developed to the point of being capable of nurturing ‘Ninth Breakers’…”

Eastern Emperor furrowed his brows, “If that’s the case, then these people’s purpose here is…”

All present shuddered as a common thought crossed their minds.

“They’re here to replace us!” Beast Emperor blurted out.

Their relationship with the seed was symbiotic, it could be said that their powers came from the seed.

And the seed, too, required them to break new paths, constantly cultivating to elevate itself.

After thirty thousand years, they had created the Initial Martial Way and the Original Way. It had been proven that with every Major Way accomplished in the Original Way, the Seed would improve.

“It… might have neared perfection!”

Eastern Emperor wore a grim expression, “Now, it might just be waiting for us!”

“It wants to bury us, allow our great ways to return to it, and achieve its own perfection!”

Divine Emperor, understanding what was at stake, spoke with a solemn expression, “Therefore, those ‘Ninth Breakers’ represent people who walk on a different path from us. They have nothing to do with the Original Way, their purpose is to destroy us and let the Seed achieve its wholeness!”

“As for the contradictions between them and the Seed, it’s left for the next generation to handle…”

At this moment, a hint of bitterness crossed the faces of the ten present.

They were the most powerful of the Original Way. Back then, to testify the Original Way, they sacrificed the most powerful of the Initial Martial Way.

Everyone who testified to be an emperor had trodden over the blood of the sacrificial Initial Martial elites.

But now, the tables had turned. The people who were sacrificed to become a stepping stone had become them!

“No compromises!”
