The fork in the Heavenly Dao River was the key to the Immortal Realm's control over the Qianyuan Realm, but it was also one of the Qianyuan Realm's greatest weaknesses.
The Calamity-Conquering Formation Immortal was now a Heavenly Dao Puppet. Everything he thought and desired was controlled by the Heavenly Dao, so naturally, he wished to destroy the fork in the Heavenly Dao River as soon as possible.
Wang Daoyuan shook his head. "It's not time yet. I want to wait a little longer."
The Calamity-Conquering Formation Immortal frowned slightly. "Could it be that you intend to violate the oath?"
Wang Daoyuan shook his head again. "Of course not. I just think there are some risks in destroying the fork in the Heavenly Dao River now."
"What risks?"
"If we destroy the fork now, the Immortal Realm will no longer be able to control the Qianyuan Realm.
Wouldn't that mean those Immortal Lords could no longer effectively control me, their chess piece?"
The Calamity-Conquering Formation Immortal nodded. "Of course. Could it be that you still want the Immortal Lords to control you?"
Before he had even finished speaking, realization dawned on him. "You're afraid those Immortal Lords will jump over the wall in desperation and lay their cards on the table early?"
Wang Daoyuan sighed softly. "Exactly. Especially Old Rhinoceros. He has plotted for nearly a million years in order to take another step forward.
All his schemes and painstaking efforts have been for nothing more than the Spirit Pearl and the Black Stone Treasure. Both are in my hands.
If I show signs of breaking free from control, what do you think he'll do?"
The Calamity-Conquering Formation Immortal chuckled. "If the schemes of the other Immortal Lords fall through, they might merely seek to recover their dignity in secret.
