"Young friend, do you know the strategy your overseas martial arts world will use against the Net Trap?"
After a long while, having digested Wang Hao's words, Zhang Sanfeng asked in a deep voice, "This is also a crucial point, and it concerns the safety of the entire Central Plains martial arts world, and even the whole of Huaxia."
"I cannot reveal the specific plans, but our attitude towards the Net Trap of Heaven) can be summed up in one word—kill!"
In the end, Wang Hao made no attempt to hide his chilling murderous intent.
Although it was just for show, his acting skills were quite good now, so he wouldn't reveal any flaws.
This murderous intent, while unsettling, also brought a sense of peace to everyone.
They were genuinely afraid that the overseas martial arts world would reconcile with the Net Trap organization, which would be a huge disaster.
Zhang Sanfeng's expression softened. Although he hadn't received a definite response, knowing the other party's attitude was enough.
He could understand the other party's concerns. After all, according to them, their entire Central Plains territory was infiltrated by the Net Trap. If they revealed their plan now, it would be tantamount to directly leaking it to the Net Trap.
No one would do something so foolish.
" Daoist Priest Chunyang, please show us Confucian School a way to survive!"
Just then, the eight Confucian School patriarchs suddenly knelt down, their expressions full of sincerity and longing.
They were genuinely terrified; if this trend continued, the demise of Confucian School was imminent.
At their age, they no longer care about personal gains or losses; the inheritance of Confucian School is the most important thing, and they don't care about losing face for it.
They have the courage to uphold Confucian School.
Everyone was shocked by the actions of the eight Confucian School patriarchs, and after understanding what had happened, they all looked at them with admiration.
As expected of a hegemonic force that has dominated the Central Plains for thousands of years, they are indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
To be honest, Wang Hao was also a bit dumbfounded at this moment. He had not expected that the eight patriarchs of Confucian School would make such a decision.
Shocked, Wang Hao began to ponder, even activating his Dao Comprehension Function for a brainstorming session, and soon came up with a very bold idea.
Just when the eight Confucian School patriarchs were almost in despair, Wang Hao finally spoke.
"Alas! I have no interest in or qualification to concern myself with the affairs of your Confucian School. However, I can inform you of a piece of information: a year ago, the Great Heavenly Demon secretly visited the Little Sage Manor. It is likely that one of the Tribulation Lords of the Ten Directions the Heavenly Demon Sacred Cult Sect is from the Little Sage Manor."
As far as I know, a year ago, a disciple of the Little Sage Manor suddenly announced his seclusion, but in reality, he disappeared. He should have already arrived in the ancestral land of the Central Plains, but I don't know why he hasn't shown up since. Perhaps he's observing from the shadows!
With a sigh, Wang Hao decided to reveal a secret, and he already had a complete plan to deceive people.
We are just waiting for the right opportunity to begin implementation.
Although it was only a vague response, it still made the eight Confucian School patriarchs extremely happy.
Seeing the Da Ming royal family and the Taoist School flourish after acquiring powerful inheritances from overseas martial arts circles, they were extremely anxious!
If they don't find a way to catch up as soon as possible, their Confucian School situation will be dire once other forces grow stronger.
However, they didn't have a good solution for this, since those forces all had branches in the overseas martial arts world, and could directly form an alliance, or be chosen as disciples by the Tribulation Lords of the Ten Directions.
Although the Confucian School still had a Little Sage Manor in the overseas martial arts world, they severed ties with it Cause and Effect to their own overwhelming Karma.
They were just about to despair when they were surprised to find that Little Sage Manor had also been chosen by the Great Heavenly Demon.
They were afraid that the people from the Little Sage Manor wouldn't come. If they did, they would have a chance to escape their current awkward situation, even if it came at a price.
"Now that this matter is settled, it is time for this humble Daoist to depart from my ancestral homeland in the Central Plains. Fellow Daoists, farewell!"
Wang Hao stood up and prepared to leave.
Just then, an old Daoist priest who had hesitated for a long time suddenly stepped forward and respectfully asked, "Fellow Daoist Chunyang, do you know if your overseas martial arts world has any lineage from my Celestial Master's Manor?"
"Huh? The Golden Light Incantation? No, that's just the basic part. Why do you have the Shangqing Palace's inheritance?"
Wang Hao pretended to scrutinize the old Daoist priest in front of him, then feigned surprise, as if he had discovered something.
These words made the old Daoist's eyes light up, and he excitedly said, "I have shown you the Golden Cauldron Divine Art that I cultivate before, and we do indeed belong to the Shangqing lineage."
Many people also became interested, clearly indicating that this was another major branch of an overseas Taoist School.
They all knew about the Celestial Master's Manor on Dragon Tiger Mountain, which was a major branch of Taoist School, belonging to the Shangqing lineage. Now, Chunyangzi had also mentioned the Shangqing Palace, which clearly indicated that the Shangqing lineage of Taoist School also had influence in the overseas martial arts world.
It's easy to imagine that the Celestial Master's Manor is about to prosper.
"So you must be the successor left behind by a senior of the Shangqing Palace in the Central Plains. I also received a favor from the Shangqing Palace back then, so I will leave the successor on your behalf today."
However, this humble Daoist only possesses the Golden Light Incantation and the Yang Five Thunders transmission. The Yin Five Thunders, and the higher-level Celestial Master Ordination, the Heaven-Connecting Talismans, and the Origin of Qi have not been transmitted. If the opportunity arises next time, this humble Daoist will go to the Shangqing Palace to request a copy of the transmitted teachings for you, fellow Daoist."
"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"
The old Daoist priest was overjoyed again and quickly expressed his gratitude.
Wang Hao didn't say anything more. He pointed his finger at the old Daoist's brow and used his Innate Divine Sense to transmit the Golden Light Incantation and Yang Five Thunders that he had specially deduced earlier.
That's right, he copied several unique skills from Under One Person. The Golden Light Incantation is a modified and enhanced version of the Celestial Master's Manor's supreme divine skill Golden Cauldron Divine Art, and its effect is very similar to the Golden Light Incantation in Under One Person.
As for Yang Five Thunders, he had previously referenced the Purple Lightning Divine Art created by the Peak Innate expert who had attained enlightenment in the Heavenly Punishment Divine Temple, and used it as a foundation to deduce it by combining it with the Golden Light Incantation.
This Yang Five Thunders is different from Bloodline Divine Ability. It is a variant application of Innate Qi, more similar to the Body Refinement of the Qi Refinement in the Yellow Emperor Tribe, which is purely developed from Qi Refinement energy.
Of course, the potential of Yang Five Thunders is also quite high. When cultivated to its peak, it can also control heavenly lightning. At most, it is not as flexible as Bloodline Divine Ability, and it still needs to rely on some external forces.
However, this does not negate the power of Yang Five Thunders; at least it is enough to fool people.
" The Shangqing lineage is different from our Taoist School Yuqing and Taiqing lineages. They can use the National Fortune to aid their cultivation. If you have the opportunity, you can try to contact the Imperial Lord; you should gain something from it."
After giving a final word of advice, Wang Hao took to the air and used the Taiji Cloud-Stepping Steps to fly rapidly towards the distant horizon.
Leaving aside Wang Hao's swift departure, on the other side, Wheel-Turning King's eyes shone brightly upon hearing the last sentence, and he stared intently at the many Taoist School masters from the Celestial Master's Manor's Mansion lineage.
Although the Celestial Master's Manor has kept a low profile for nearly a century, its strength cannot be denied. This can be seen from the fact that it was able to bring fifty Innate experts to this grand event, especially since there are two peerless masters at the Peak Innate among them.
If they could bring the Celestial Master's Manor into the Old Zhu Household's camp, it would be a huge help.
Similarly, many powerful figures from the Celestial Master's Manor also looked at Wheel-Turning King, pondering how to make contact with the Old Zhu Household.
They had no objection to the cooperation with the Old Zhu Household; in fact, they were happy to see it happen.
It should be noted that Liu Bowen was also from the Shangqing lineage, and the Longevity Dao Art he passed on to Zhu Yuanzhang were closely related to their Dragon Tiger Mountain. In fact, in the early Da Ming, Dragon Tiger Mountain was even supported by the Old Zhu Household.
However, the relationship faded later because the Old Zhu Household was forced to move the capital to the northern capital.
Now that they have such a great opportunity, they might as well go and give it a shot.
Meanwhile, Wang Hao, who had left on the other side, went all out and ran for hundreds of miles until he stopped in a secluded place.
Without delay, he quickly took off his Daoist robe, took out another set of clothes from his Spirit Sea Space and put them on. After a transformation, he became a completely different person, even his cultivation technique and Sword Intent intent were completely different.
This is also a major characteristic of the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Instruction. The Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Instruction itself is derived from countless martial arts classics in this world, so it can naturally reverse and Simulation the aura of other techniques. At most, its power is not as great as the Nine Revolutions Qi Refining Instruction when used, but it won't be much worse.
As for the change in Sword Intent characteristics, it's all thanks to my cheap master, Dugu Qiubai; the secret techniques he passed down were indeed quite good.
"Should we create a knock-off Confucian School model and try to fool Confucian School?"
After calming down and thinking it over, Wang Hao was very tempted, but after careful consideration, he ultimately shook his head and gave up.
"If we were to announce the news of this successor of the Little Sage Manor so soon, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. It would be better to wait a while!"
"Now it's time to go to Shaomu Temple. I hope the Buddhist Order won't disappoint me!"
After clearing his mind, Wang Hao turned to look in the direction of Shaomu Temple and made arrangements for the First Tier of his trip.
In the Central Plains, there have always been four powerful forces with a long history. The first is naturally the Confucian School, which is a dominant force. The second is Taoist School. The third is Buddhist Order. The last is the dynasties that have existed throughout history.
Now that the Old Zhu Household, representing the dynasty, and the Taoist School have been fooled, only the Buddhist Order and Confucian School remain.
Confucian School is a tough nut to crack, and the key to deceiving them is the eight ancient swords they treasure, so it's not easy to deal with them. Therefore, the only option now is to target Buddhist Order.
However, the Buddhist Order tradition is indeed quite profound. Although the Buddhist Order in this world are not as powerful as those in Huang-style martial Buddhist Order, they are not far behind.
In Old Master Jin's works, Shaomu Temple, the representative of Buddhist Order, has almost always been a dominant force in the martial arts world, with only Wudang Sect later being comparable to it.
Therefore, Buddhist Order's foundation is definitely not weak; at least it is not much weaker than Taoist School's.
Once he made up his mind, Wang Hao headed to the place he had arranged to meet with Xie Feng to prepare for their upcoming trip to Shaomu Temple. He figured Zhou Xueyi must have already made arrangements.
Not to mention Wang Hao's efforts to establish Shaomu Temple, the Taoist School on the other side were going crazy.
After the Taoist School masters dispersed, they returned to their own factions and launched a thorough purge, which resulted in a bloody and chaotic scene.
This time they were truly enraged. They were on the verge of obtaining the Dao Classic scripture, but unexpectedly, they were betrayed by their own subordinates.
Although Zhang Sanfeng promised them the opportunity to study the Dao Classic together, it was hard to say how much of the true meaning of the Dao Classic they would actually gain after the scriptures had changed hands once.
How could they not be furious? So they showed no mercy in their purge, not even to their own direct descendants.
Similarly, the Confucian School school also had similar plans, but their influence was too widespread, making it difficult to take action. They could only wait for the successor of the overseas martial arts sect, Little Sage Manor, to appear before making a decision.
However, the initial data collection did not stop, in order to prepare for future plans.
That wasn't all. Wang Hao publicly revealed his plan to Whole-World Ascension, which gave all martial artists a sense of urgency, as if a divine weapon was hanging over their heads. They were all pondering their own way out and opportunities, and some were even considering forming alliances with others.
There was no way around it; this crisis was far too terrifying, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it had the power to Destroying the World world. Even powerful forces like those in the overseas martial arts world only had Issei chance of success, which shows how terrible this catastrophe was. If things went wrong, their Central Plains might really become a dead land.
Such a catastrophe could not possibly be stopped by any single force, so a united alliance was imperative.
