Chapter 819: Chapter 276: Yang Tian Variable
Meng Yaoyin’s voice emanated from the Qianmo Lamp, reaching directly into the depths of Ning Zhuo’s Divine Sea.
“Successor of the Qianmo Lamp, you possess the soul foundation of millions and are the ruler of Bai Zhi Immortal City, surely the heavenly variable calculated by the Grey Bone Elder!”
“You need to thwart the conspiracy of the Lord of Wanchuan, restoring peace to the entire Yin Tide Black Swamp Wetland.”
With these words, a surge of information was transmitted to Ning Zhuo.
Heavenly Ghost Transformation Sacrifice Ceremony…
Heavenly Ghost skull…
Acquired Talent…
Choosing Bai Zhi Immortal City as a blood sacrifice, to worship the yin sky…
Moments later, Ning Zhuo completely absorbed this astonishing news, his eyes shimmering with understanding: “So this is how it is!”
At this moment, he uncovered the entire plan laid by the Lord of Wanchuan.
And amidst this information, Meng Yaoyin also provided the method for victory.
She clearly stated that she once ventured into the Netherworld, received by the Grey Bone Elder himself. With his guidance, she activated the means left by the scholar Xuan Su, allowing her to manipulate half of the Paperman Army using Mechanical Techniques.
However, Meng Yaoyin did not explicitly state how to destroy the plan of the Lord of Wanchuan, expressing confidence in the successor: Since it’s a variable triggered by mortal fate, there must be a way to win!
“I see.”
“The provenance of the Heavenly Gifted Talisman in the elder’s hands, is this.”
“Grey Bone Elder…”
Ning Zhuo once again heard the name of this cultivator, the previous time being from Luo Si’s mouth.
Now hearing it again, it felt entirely different from before.
“Mother prepared for this long ago, waiting for the evolution of fate. Now, the plan of the Lord of Wanchuan is about to succeed, and although I arrived here by chance, it is likely the very variable!”
“I should exert every effort, fulfilling mother’s will, to properly settle this matter.”
Realizing the gravity, Ning Zhuo immediately used the Life Hanging Thread to contact Sun Lingtong.
Sun Lingtong was still amidst the Yin Army Formation, gazing afar at Bai Zhi Immortal City resisting the Ghost Tide, greatly astonished upon hearing this.
“Amazing, Little Zhuo, your mother’s methods are truly remarkable. Able to steal half of the Paperman Army, we’ve struck gold!”
Ning Zhuo replied, “According to the information mother left behind, someone needs to personally go and activate the Array within, only then can we control that half of the army.”
“Yet how to use this power to destroy the plan of the Lord of Wanchuan, mother did not say.”
Sun Lingtong was unconcerned: “Little Zhuo, your mother didn’t have divining ability, achieving this step is already quite extraordinary. As for what to do next, hasn’t mother already hinted at it?”
Ning Zhuo naturally knew what Sun Lingtong meant to say, and nodded: “Indeed. Years ago, since the Grey Bone Elder guided mother, even the activation of Bai Zhi Immortal City’s secret army was arranged by the Grey Bone Elder.”
“Therefore, we should seek this cultivator first, pursuing his advice.”
Sun Lingtong: “Grey Bone Elder might already be waiting for us. Positioning Luo Si at the Wangchuan River to fish might be intended for contact with us.”
“If so, wouldn’t General Luo Si be, perhaps, orchestrated by the Grey Bone Elder to assist us?”
Ning Zhuo pondered: “There’s a possibility, but we must meet the Grey Bone Elder to acquire more information.”
“Elder, seems your Golden Core advancement day has to be delayed again.”
Sun Lingtong paused for a moment, and with a bitter smile, said: “No choice! Since this is the truth, I have to focus on soul cultivation, striving to elevate the soul foundation to millions, qualifying to undermine the Heavenly Ghost Transformation Sacrifice Ceremony.”
Ning Zhuo already possessed millions of souls; Sun Lingtong also aimed to reach this level, ensuring a second insurance.
Sun Lingtong: “Besides, should we share this secret with the White Paper City Lord?”
Sun Lingtong felt hesitant about this.
Ning Zhuo furrowed his brow, thinking: “Mother’s message didn’t mention the White Paper City Lord, clearly showing some concern.”
“Whatever the concern might be, in her view, resolving this crisis involves little with the White Paper City Lord.”
“Hmph!”
“My mother exhausted her lifespan for this Immortal City, worked industriously, risked the Netherworld, arranged so much for the descendants… Mother was truly merciful and generous, selflessly considering everyone.”
“Compared to my mother, what did the White Paper City Lord sacrifice?”
“She simply labeled me as the savior upon seeing me! Clearly wanting to use me, just like she did with my mother.”
“Yet she’s unaware, though I am my mother’s son, my disposition differs from hers.”
“I’m willing to act as the savior, also willing to perform good deeds, but the premise is, I must gain something.”
“My awareness is not as high as my mother’s!”
Sun Lingtong felt relieved upon hearing Ning Zhuo’s response, praising: “Little Zhuo, that’s correct. We shouldn’t be those eternal self-sacrificers, that’s just dull!”
“Your mother’s vision is high, that’s another matter.”
Ning Zhuo nodded: “Indeed.”
To this day, the three Talisman Papers forcibly given to Ning Zhuo by the White Paper City Lord remain hidden in Ning Zhuo’s Three Elixir Fields.
Ning Zhuo had separately mobilized the powers of mind, energy, and essence in the Dantian, tightly encircling and aggressively compressing these three Talisman Papers.
Just awaiting the right moment for Sun Lingtong to perform a Stealing Technique, attempting extraction.
Taking them now would be too soon.
The White Paper City Lord would surely remain unsettled, applying stronger measures.
The Ghost Tide persisted for three days and nights before dissipating.
Even enduring through another surge. Tie Guzheng also guarded atop the wall, enduring sleeplessly for three days, fighting arduously.
