Determination and Concealment
Liu Yi stood high in the sky, overlooking the entire battlefield.
Corpses littered the battlefield, and blood flowed like rivers. Under the overwhelming disparity in strength between the two sides, not a single living Devil Race or Devil Beast could be seen on the battlefield.
However, the villagers of Wu Village also paid the price of nearly a thousand dead and wounded in the Devil Race ' desperate counterattack before their demise.
Those with relatives quietly collected the bodies; the destitute were buried by the village.
He fell silent as he gazed at the villagers grieving the loss of their children or parents.
Previously, the brutality of war he witnessed was only seen in videos or as an observer; he had never participated personally, so his understanding was ultimately superficial.
But at this moment, witnessing the pain of separation and death firsthand, his heartstrings were deeply touched.
Previously, the reason he fought against the Devil Race and prepared for the future catastrophe of the Azure Billows Realm was...
However, it's because the Devil Race would threaten them, hinder their efforts to spread the Fairness System, become the Dao Ancestor, and transform the world to create a prosperous age where everyone is like a dragon;
Furthermore, he had relatives and clansmen in the Azure Billows Realm, which is why he decided to take action to resist.
But he never truly had the idea of risking everything to protect it, because deep down he always thought that at worst he could take his family and friends and leave the Azure Billows Realm to escape this catastrophe.
But it was through this battle that he truly understood:
If we cannot stop the Devil Race, what a tragedy will unfold in the world! The entire Azure Billows Realm will become a living hell, and the Human Race will likely become food for the Devil Race.
Previously, that six-armed True Devil had clamored to eat him alive;
According to the intelligence he gathered, in any village that was breached by the Devil Race, the living beings there would be treated as food.
If it weren't for his overwhelming strength today, which allowed him to slay the Devil Race, the entire Wu Village would likely have suffered a tragic fate of being slaughtered and devoured.
Although the world is inherently a dog-eat-dog world, he couldn't bear to watch his fellow human beings become food for the Devil Race, even as the rabbit mourns the death of the fox and other animals grieve for their own kind.
With this thought in mind, Liu Yi had already made up his mind.
He was born into the Human Race of the Azure Billows Realm, whether for his own path to enlightenment or for the sake of Human Race.
We will do everything in our power to resist the Devil Race and leave no regrets.
Otherwise, if one retreats, it may become a flaw in one's moral character in the future.
Of course, he wouldn't fight to the death blindly.
If the moment truly comes when you can no longer resist, retreat if necessary and preserve your own safety first.
Once he has achieved great mastery of his cultivation, he will return to avenge the tragically deceased and even resurrect them using unparalleled means.
Fortunately, the Land of Exile possesses a time flow rate a hundred times faster, allowing his cultivation to improve rapidly.
When faced with calamity, they will be able to cope more calmly, and may even have the opportunity to launch a counterattack and invade the Myriad Devils Realm.
Although this path is extremely difficult, with his extraordinary comprehension and the assistance of the Fairness System, he still has a great chance.
Just then, he noticed that Wu Dong had arrived in front of him.
Wu Dong, beaming with joy, announced loudly, "Fellow Daoist Liu, we have achieved a great victory this time! The invading Devil Race have been completely annihilated, and not a single one has escaped."
He paused slightly, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, his tone full of sincerity:
"The great victory over the Devil Race in this battle was entirely due to your heroic efforts, fellow Daoist. Otherwise, it would have been a miracle if our Wu Village had even managed to hold on."
"Fellow Daoist Wu, you are too kind. This great victory is the result of everyone's concerted efforts, Non-Self achievement alone."
Liu Yi smiled faintly, a thought flickering in his mind.
The Devil Race army was completely wiped out this time. If handled properly, the Devil Race may not know the truth about this battle in a short period of time.
If concealed well enough, the news of his killing of two Devil General and ten True Devil could be suppressed.
To gain more peaceful time for cultivation and avoid being targeted by Devil King -level powerhouse too early.
Thinking of this, he looked at Wu Dong and said seriously, "Wu Village, I have a request."
Please warn everyone in the village not to spread the word that I killed two Devil General and ten True Devil, lest it invite retaliation from powerful Devil Race.
Upon hearing this, Wu Dong instantly understood Liu Yi's deeper meaning.
The number of powerful Devil Race that Liu Yi killed this time was astonishing and too conspicuous. If it were to be leaked, not only would Liu Yi be targeted, but Wu Village would also be implicated.
Keeping Liu Yi's secret is protecting the entire village.
He immediately nodded and replied, "I understand! We'll announce to the outside world that Wu Village has recently gained two Heavenly Immortal experts."
It was thanks to them that the tide of battle was turned and defeat was reversed.
And Fellow Daoist Liu is one of these Heavenly Immortal.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yi instantly understood Wu Dong's plan.
The other party wanted to use this method to reduce his presence and avoid attracting too much attention.
However, this method still has one flaw:
The other Heavenly Immortal has yet to be chosen, and if someone from outside the village were to request an audience, the lack of response would easily expose the situation.
He could use seclusion to conceal his true intentions in the short term, but by the time he emerged, he should have broken through to the True Martial Realm. He couldn't let another Heavenly Immortal remain in seclusion forever.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi said, "Wu Village, in my opinion, the other Heavenly Immortal could be set as someone from another village."
He could say that he happened to be passing through this area when Wu Village was besieged by Devil Race, and thus he righteously offered his help. This would be an excellent cover-up.
As for me, I announced to the public that I was in seclusion to heal my wounds.
Upon hearing this, Wu Dong nodded repeatedly and replied, "As Fellow Daoist Liu suggests, I will make the arrangements immediately."
"Thank you for your trouble, Wu Village. I will go into seclusion now and strive to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm as soon as possible."
Liu Yi nodded in farewell, his gaze sweeping over Qin Yuran, Zhu Yunshu, and Fan Jing. Seeing that they were all safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
His figure suddenly blurred, and he flew straight towards Wu Village.
Upon returning to his residence, he immediately went into the bedroom of his Portable Daoist Sanctum.
While this method may temporarily conceal the truth, it is ultimately difficult to maintain the cover-up indefinitely due to the large number of people and their gossip.
It's only a matter of time before others discover my true strength. The most important thing right now is to seize the time to improve my cultivation.
However, before going into seclusion, he needed to conceal the secrets of Tianji and disrupt the Tianji of this great battle to prevent others from easily deducing the true story.
He immediately retrieved the Great Dao Jade Disc from his inner world, and with a slight thought, activated the jade disc to unleash the vast power of the Great Dao, escaping into the the Unseen and Earth.
They concealed all the Tianji of the battle just now, preventing others from easily discovering the truth.
After everything was completed, he retrieved the Great Dao Jade Disc into his inner world and nurtured it day and night with the World Origin, hoping that it would soon be promoted to Innate Spirit Treasure.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Yi retrieved two hundred drops of the World Origin from the Xuanyi World and swallowed them.
In an instant, a vast primal power surged within his body, and the billions of Cell World around him frantically devoured and absorbed this pure power.
He immediately sat cross-legged on the bed, gathered his energy and focused his mind, preparing to break through to the True Martial Realm.
Driven by the Law Power magic throughout his body, it flows through the meridians and meridians, passing through all 129,600 Divine Aperture in his body, then into the Mind World, and subsequently throughout the Cell World.
Each time the Law Power flowed through a Cell World, that world burst forth with brilliant Dao light. Once the power had traversed all the Cell World and returned to the Dantian,
His cultivation aura surged dramatically, and his Energy Points were refined into pure Law Power, filling his Dantian and dantian.
At the same time, billions of Cell World simultaneously radiated dazzling divine light.
Following the trajectory of the flow of magical Law Power, they intertwined and formed a profound and unfathomable supreme array.
The three thousand Great Daos resonated in unison, and countless Principle echoed. Various extraordinary phenomena of the Great Dao appeared one after another in the myriad realms, displaying a dazzling array of wonders and filling the bedroom with oppressive power.
