Capturing Wude with a Turn of the Hand! Human Emperor Dayu Appears

"Wude, the enemy won't stop attacking while you're distracted!"

Guiling looked at the small world in his palm, and at the Wude Divine Phoenix of the Phoenix Clan flying within it, and sighed softly, speaking earnestly.

To be honest.

It was truly beyond Guiling's imagination that Wude, a Quasi-Sage, would make such a low-level mistake.

After all, with a little care, even some cultivators who have just achieved Immortal Dao would probably not make this kind of mistake.

Moreover, the Wude are a Quasi-Sage...

Honestly.

When Guiling noticed that Wude was in a daze, Guiling even suspected that the other party might be deliberately revealing a weakness in order to lure her into making a move.

But... unexpectedly, the other party actually made such a terrible mistake.

It's important to understand that Jinling's previous distraction wasn't due to favorable timing, location, or circumstances; the real reason was that Guiling was right next to Jinling.

In Jinling's mind, even if she was distracted, there would be no danger.

But what is the basis for these Wude?

In terms of cultivation, he was inferior to her, and even during battle, he wasn't fully focused and had time to lose focus.

Where does this sense of security come from?

Honestly.

If the Wude Divine Phoenix hadn't lost its focus halfway through, it would have allowed her to successfully complete this Divine Ability.

Taking it down might require a considerable amount of effort.

After all, being at the Early Quasi-Sage is still Quasi-Sage level, and with the Wude Divine Phoenix, its aptitude is absolutely top-tier among the Phoenix Clan.

Their combat strength should not be underestimated.

Furthermore, under the suppression of the Nine Provinces Barrier, although the Guiling's Law Power remained intact, his Great Dao Divine Ability abilities was ultimately significantly affected.

Even with the mental and reaction speed of Quasi-Sage, taking him down would be extremely difficult.

Of course, this is on the premise that the Quasi-Sage did not stare blankly like the Wude.

However, although it was described as spacing out or being in a daze.

However, in reality, given the thought speed of Quasi-Sage, the time in between is shorter than ordinary people can imagine.

If it were a Daluo Golden Immortal, they probably wouldn't even notice the Wude Divine Phoenix's dazed expression.

But Guiling is different. As a Quasi-Sage whose cultivation surpasses that of Wude, even if Wude hadn't been stunned, his thought process would probably be slower than Guiling's.

This moment of stunned silence was practically tantamount to standing helplessly in front of the Guiling, allowing him to make his arrangements.

In the vast expanse of space, the Wude Divine Phoenix was frantically flying up and down.

The flames, powerful enough to ignite the void, were frantically urged on, setting the entire void for tens of thousands of miles ablaze.

In an instant, this small world had transformed into a world of flames.

But...

Even if the void was ignited and burned through, it did not shake the very foundation of this small world.

"Come out, come out here! Didn't you want to fight me?"

Hearing the voice that seemed to come from the entire world, Wude was extremely furious and frantically unleashed his terrifying and dazzling flames, scorching the void.

"Come out! Don't you have many Innate Spirit Treasure? Aren't you invincible at the Quasi-Sage Realm?"

"Come and fight me head-on!" Wude's furious voice echoed throughout the entire small world.

He had just made up his mind, overcome his fear, and wanted to fight, but he was immediately defeated.

How can he possibly Qi Ingestion this?!

In the void, Guiling looked at the Wude in the small world, a helpless expression on his face.

Originally, seeing Wude's Quasi-Sage cultivation, she thought Wude was a powerful elder of the Phoenix Clan.

But to everyone's surprise, it turned out to be a Phoenix Clan.

This behavior is even more naive than when she first ventured into the Primordial World. How on earth did this bird cultivate to the level of Quasi-Sage?

Certainly.

Guiling didn't know was...

These Wude were born long after the Phoenix Clan had fallen into decline and gone into seclusion.

Moreover, the fact that it is named after the Five Virtues reveals that it is the only Wude Phoenix Bird among the Phoenix Clan to possess the Wude.

Born into an extraordinary family, his comprehension and talent were unparalleled among the Phoenix Clan.

From the moment he began his training, he made rapid progress, encountering almost no bottlenecks.

In the world completely controlled by the Phoenix Clan, Wude received no suitable training whatsoever.

He advanced triumphantly all the way, eventually becoming Daluo Golden Immortal.

A Daluo Golden Immortal, regardless of which faction they belong to, is absolutely not someone who is cultivated.

Not to mention that Wude later achieved the status of Quasi-Sage at an alarming speed.

Even though many elders of the Phoenix Clan knew that Wude lacked experience, let alone the world of the Phoenix Clan.

Even in the Primordial World, there probably isn't a place where Quasi-Sage could train.

"Calm down first!"

Guiling clasped his hands together and flattened the small world in his palms.

And in the small world.

Wude stared at the two enormous hands that blotted out the sky on either side of the void. Before he could react, the hands had already joined together.

The Wude in the middle are naturally not safe and sound.

Certainly.

As Quasi-Sage, this kind of purely physical attack will not cause much damage.

But...

This sudden, terrifying force successfully brought Wude... completely back to his senses!

Putting aside the fact that he has already lost, Guiling is unlikely to let him go and fight him again.

Even if we let him fight again, what difference would it make?

Give him a good beating and make him submit completely?

Even if Wude had decided beforehand that he would fight no matter who the enemy was,... this isn't the way to fight!

Although I was extremely unwilling.

But after calming down, Wude transformed from his Phoenix form back into his Dao body, looked up at the void above, and said in a deep voice.

"Guiling Daoist Guiling, this humble Daoist concedes defeat..."

"What price must be paid for you to spare this humble monk?"

In the void.

Looking at the Wude within the small world, a look of surprise appeared in the Guiling's eyes.

He seemed the same before, how come he reacted so quickly now?

Is this what genius is?

They learned from their mistakes and grew immediately.

That's amazing!

The Guiling couldn't help but marvel.

"Fellow Wude, there's no need to overthink it. Just follow our previous agreement."

The figure of the Guiling appeared in the small world, looking at the Wude in front of him and speaking in a deep voice.

"The matter of Bo Yikao involves many secrets that cannot be disclosed, but we have no ill intentions towards Bo Yikao or Xiqi."

Wude nodded slightly.

Wude never doubted what Guiling said.

Putting aside the background of the Guiling, it's clear that barring any major surprises, it's absolutely impossible for it to face off against the Human Race.

Even without this background, a Quasi-Sage wouldn't lie to him about something like this.

The reason he had been so forceful in his confrontation with Guiling was simply because the Phoenix Clan, or rather, he himself, had already placed his bets on Bo Yikao.

Otherwise, no matter how outstanding Bo Yikao's aptitude is, given his current age and the need to attend to Xiqi affairs, how could he possibly possess the cultivation level of Golden Immortal?

Coupled with the Karmic Luck Xiqi and the power of the Human Race's Nine Provinces Barrier, his confidence soared, which led him to make such an unwise move.

But now he has sobered up from his arrogance; after all, he doesn't want to die here like this!

"I will no longer interfere in the matter of Bo Yikao," Wude promised in a low voice.

"Alright, in that case you can go back now!" Guiling nodded, and with a thought, he withdrew the surrounding small world.

Suddenly returned to the true void, the entire bird of Wude was stunned, staring at the Guiling in disbelief.

Can we go back now?

Did they really just let him go like that?

Are there any other requirements besides these?

"You're really just going to let me leave like this?" Wude asked Guiling in disbelief.

It's worth noting that while his net worth may not be comparable to that of Guiling, it is still quite substantial.

It's important to know that after their defeat, the Phoenix Clan went into seclusion, and Phoenix Clan countless treasures remained untouched by anyone.

As Quasi-Sage of the Phoenix Clan, Wude possesses more than one Innate Spirit Treasure, not to mention other treasures.

"Does that fellow Daoist wish to leave something behind? Tell me, if you are still unconvinced and wish to discuss the Dao with me," Guiling said casually, glancing at Wude.

"No need!"

Upon hearing Guiling's words, Wude's expression immediately changed.

Unconvinced, shall we have a discussion?

What on earth could drive someone to seek out torture again?!

"In that case, I shall take my leave!"

As soon as Wude finished speaking, without waiting for the Guiling to react, he immediately transformed into his true form, flapped his wings, and burned through the void, speeding away.

Its speed was so fast that even the Guiling was somewhat ashamed.

Shouldn't it be said that it truly deserves to be called the king of Primordial World birds?

That flight speed is truly remarkable.

That is...

It wasn't used in the right place!

Guiling thought to himself, "This is ridiculous."

Then...

Turning around, the Guiling's gaze swept across the depths of the void.

"Dayu, shouldn't you show yourself?"

The Guiling's voice resounded throughout the void.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

"Haha, Fellow Guiling, no need to be impatient... I, the Emperor, am here!"

Soon, a bold voice came from the depths of the void.

At the same time, along with this sound, a figure was breaking through the void from the depths of space and arriving in front of the Guiling.

Looking closely,

Who else could this figure be but the Human Emperor Dayu from the Fire Cloud Cave?

"It's been a long time since we last met. Dayu has changed so much that even I find it hard to believe!"

Guiling looked at Dayu as he approached, a hint of emotion in his eyes.

Although Dayu had a smile on his face, his majestic aura as Human Emperor seemed to emanate from his very bones.

Looking back, when they fought side by side against Xiangliu, who was threatening Human Race.

At the time when Dayu was merely a Daluo Golden Immortal, leading a small Human Race army, Dayu was still extraordinary.

However, compared to the current Human Emperor, the difference is as vast as the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.

They are completely incomparable.

"Guiling Daoist Guiling has not changed at all since then, which is truly enviable..." Looking at Guiling, Dayu said with great emotion.

Of course, what Dayu meant by "not changing at all" was not the Guiling's cultivation level.

The gap between a newly promoted Daluo and Quasi-Sage is immeasurably large.

What Dayu meant by "unchanged" was that the Guiling's mindset and nature remained unchanged.

From a newly promoted Daluo to a Quasi-Sage, maintaining the same mindset and temperament is an extremely rare thing.

Take Yu the Great, for example, who rose from an ordinary human being to the current position of the Human Emperor.

Despite changes in cultivation level and social status, perhaps relying on the will of Daluo or Quasi-Sage, Dayu's temperament remained unchanged.

But the mindset will inevitably be different from before.

"Dayu Da Yu is too kind. Your experiences are truly enviable— Human Emperor of your generation..."

Guiling was deeply moved.

Who could have imagined that the Great Golden Immortal who fought alongside her would one day become the Human Emperor?

Honestly.

If the Human Race Human Emperor weren't not a position held permanently by a single person, given the current strength and power of the Human Race, the throne of the Human Emperor would likely...

It is no less prestigious than the position of the Heavenly Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court.

"The throne of the Human Emperor..."

Upon hearing Guiling's words, Dayu's expression faltered for a brief moment.

Honestly.

If it weren't for the sake of the Human Emperor's face and dignity, and the fact that although he and Guiling knew each other, they weren't particularly good friends.

Otherwise...

Dayu must be grabbing the Guiling right now and giving it a good rant about the throne of the Human Emperor, yelling things like, "Whoever wants the Human Emperor can have it!"

Certainly.

It's not that the position of Human Emperor is particularly demanding; for the current state of the Human Race, controlling it doesn't actually require too much effort.

After all, the Human Race has the Saint Emperor Fuxi overseeing things, but...

Whenever Dayu saw the ancient Human Emperor drinking tea, going on spring outings, discussing philosophy, and preaching, he was always very happy.

He, on the other hand, was responsible for handling various affairs of the Human Race and painstakingly protecting and safeguarding the great cause of Human Race.

This is the power of comparison – there's no harm done without it!

Dayu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Alright, Guiling, thank you for showing mercy this time, and for even helping to teach this phoenix of the Phoenix Clan a lesson."

"This is the agreed-upon payment."

Dayu spoke, he took out several spiritual Spirit Root, intending to hand them to the Guiling.

Although the quantity is small, judging from their radiant glow, the quality of these spiritual treasures Spirit Root is clearly quite remarkable.

If nothing unexpected happens, its value will definitely be much higher than that of the Wude Quasi-Sage of the Phoenix Clan.

But the Guiling immediately raised his hand to stop him.

No need for payment.

"I only acted for my own benefit. As for adjusting... guiding those Wude, it was merely a small matter, and I need no reward."

"I only rejected you because I couldn't find you in the depths of the void."

Guiling shook his head and said.

Hearing Guiling say this, Dayu was slightly taken aback, but he quickly realized what was going on. Looking at Guiling's True God, he immediately smiled.

"Since that's the case, then this emperor will not yield to your offer, fellow Daoist."

With that, Dayu put away the spiritual treasure Spirit Root in his hand.

Seeing Dayu's actions, Guiling didn't pay much attention.

In terms of his wealth, being ranked first among all sages is no exaggeration.

The Guiling had no intention of forcing anyone to take these treasures.

Moreover, more than these treasures, the Guiling was curious as to why Dayu had asked him to guide the Wude Phoenix Bird.

Although it appears that the Wude Phoenix Bird is connected to the Karmic Luck of Xiqi, and is a divine beast representing the Karmic Luck of the Xiqi Human Race.

However, according to Guiling's observation, the heart of the Wude Phoenix Bird was not aligned with the Human Race or with Xiqi.

They would be in Xiqi and fight for Xiqi, simply for their own benefit.

Thinking of this, Guiling didn't hesitate and immediately asked the question.

Hearing Guiling's question.

Dayu paused for a moment, looked at the Guiling in front of him, and pondered for a while before speaking.

"This isn't a big secret, but I hope that Guiling Daoist Guiling won't spread it around after learning about it."

"Dayu, rest assured, I Guiling, am known for keeping secrets," Guiling said with an upright expression.

Upon hearing Guiling's words, Dayu looked at Guiling with a strange expression.

Famous for keeping secrets?

He'd never heard of that name before.

However, Dayu did not pay too much attention to it. After hearing Guiling's agreement, he began to tell Guiling his story.
