Chapter 480 - 474: The Ten Thousand Mountains Seek to Submit to the World Honored One
Though one plan fails, a new scheme is born.
However, since it has come down to the point of being forced into sacrificing the Path, it shows that, apart from this, this group of old immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains has no other way.
"Haha!"
"Hahaha!"
As soon as the words of the old immortals of the Ten Thousand Mountains fell, the Golden-Winged Roc and the Black Bear Spirit suddenly burst into loud laughter.
The Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder laughed somewhat more gently, not as crudely as the Golden-Winged Roc and Black Bear Spirit.
Even Elder Bai had a smile at the corner of his mouth, seemingly trying hard to suppress his laughter.
After a burst of laughter, the Golden-Winged Roc said, "Sorry, haha!"
"We are professionals and generally don’t laugh easily, but we couldn’t hold it just now."
If it were others talking about sacrificing the Path, it would indeed be a threat, but when the old immortals of the Ten Thousand Mountains mention it, it feels incongruous.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, don’t push us too far!"
"Do you really think we dare not sacrifice the Path?"
"To be killed by you means death, and sacrificing the Path also means death. If you continue to be aggressive, we can only resort to sacrificing the Path!" Bai Ze’s words were powerful, trying to force Elder Bai and the others back.
Upon hearing this, the Peacock Great Ming King, who was bleeding all over, looked somewhat displeased too.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, you should leave!"
"If they sacrifice the Path, it might really implicate you!"
"I, Kong Xuan, only ask that you protect my daughter. As for these chickens and dogs, I will deal with them!" The Peacock Great Ming King said to Elder Bai.
The Peacock Great Ming King just let Elder Bai and the others leave, deciding to deal with the old immortals from the Ten Thousand Mountains himself.
Given his severely wounded body, he naturally couldn’t be a match for these old immortals.
Therefore, the only way he can deal with them is one.
Sacrificing the Path and going down with them.
Sure enough, after speaking, the Peacock Great Ming King strode forward, with a grim visage looking at the old immortals of the Ten Thousand Mountains: "Using sacrificing the Path as a threat, huh?"
"Do you think only you can sacrifice the Path, but I can’t?"
"Since you like sacrificing the Path so much, then let’s all die together!"
When the old immortals of the Ten Thousand Mountains talk about sacrificing the Path, it might be a threat.
But when the Peacock Great Ming King talks about it, it might truly be sacrificing the Path!
Everyone knows that the Peacock Great Ming King is a person of a steadfast character.
Seeing this scene, Elder Bai hurriedly stopped the Peacock Great Ming King, fearing that if he was too slow, the king might really sacrifice the Path, then it would be too late for anything.
"Don’t hurry, Ming King, don’t hurry!" Elder Bai stopped the Peacock Great Ming King and said with a smile, "After you arrived, Lin Yuan came to the East Sea for help."
"Once that kid reached the East Sea, explained the reason, we didn’t hesitate and came immediately to support."
"Logically, we should have arrived earlier, Ming King, don’t you think about why we just showed up now?"
Peacock Great Ming King: "?????"
The Peacock Great Ming King’s mind raced, thinking, since help has already come, surely it’s not to let me fight to mutual destruction with the old immortals of the Ten Thousand Mountains?
If not for this reason, then it must be for laying out a backup plan.
"Could there be a backup plan?" The Peacock Great Ming King asked tentatively.
Elder Bai smiled slightly, nodded, and replied, "Of course there is a backup plan, Ming King need not threaten with sacrificing the Path."
"Sacrificing the Path is the act of a cornered dog."
Seeing Elder Bai’s confident demeanor, the Peacock Great Ming King couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After Elder Bai reassured the Peacock Great Ming King with his words, he then strode forward and said loudly, "You want to sacrifice the Path, right? Try it?"
"We definitely won’t run away, but let’s see how you sacrifice the Path and go down with us."
Upon hearing Elder Bai’s words, Bai Ze felt something was wrong, and he tentatively tried to connect with the Great Dao of the world.
Only to find an invisible force blocking his connection with the Great Dao.
Sacrificing the Path means using one’s own Power of Rules to connect with the Great Dao of heaven and earth, triggering its extinction.
Only in this way will a large-scale, unstoppable destructive force be caused.
If one cannot connect with the Great Dao, then it’s not sacrificing the Path, but self-destructing.
Sacrificing the Path can take Elder Bai and others down with it, but if it’s self-destruction, then Elder Bai and the others can completely defend against the power of the self-destruction.
Realizing he couldn’t sacrifice the Path, Bai Ze’s face darkened instantly.
It’s like two countries at war, and your only threat to the other is nuclear weapons.
Just when you decided to go for broke and detonate the nuclear weapon, you found it couldn’t be detonated due to years of neglect.
Thus, the final means of intimidation is also gone.
"What’s going on?"
"What on earth is going on?" Bai Ze asked coldly.
At this moment, Elder Bai stopped pretending and directly summoned the Turtle Shell.
The Turtle Shell floated, emitting a faint white glow, under which a mysterious array slowly emerged.
This array roughly covered an area within a thousand-mile radius.
This array is called the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Shattering Array.
It has no destructive power and can neither trap nor harm people; its sole function is to sever the opponent’s connection to the Great Dao, preventing them from sacrificing the Path out of desperation.
Normally, even true masters in array research might not know such a single-function niche array.
After all, such an array might never come in handy once in a lifetime, learning it is entirely a waste of time.
Yet, Elder Bai has lived long, and in his seemingly endless lifespan, he learned this array.
Today, this array has indeed played a tremendous role.
With this array, it definitely extinguished the last hope of the old immortals from the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Bai Ze’s mind raced, pondering how he could break the situation.
World Honored one, seeking refuge with the World Honored is the only way.
Thinking of this, Bai Ze secretly transmitted to his companions: "The Peacock Great Ming King is now seriously injured, let’s launch a fierce attack on him, and then find a chance to break out west."
"The Ten Thousand Mountains are untenable, our only path to life now is to escape to the World Honored’s territory, seeking refuge."
"At all costs, break out, otherwise, we are doomed."
Though the Ten Thousand Mountains were far from the World Honored’s territory, escaping through it, even for tier two peak powerhouses, wouldn’t be easy.
But anyway, there is still a slim chance of survival.
Continuing to stay here, there is not even a glimmer of life.
"Damn it, it’s all because of Elder Bai, that old turtle, we are forced to seek refuge with the World Honored now. Once we do, there will be no hope for proving the Dao."
"Proving the Dao, prove what? It’s a blessing if we can survive now!"
"The Bai one is ruthless, don’t blame us for being merciless. Once we find safe haven with the World Honored, we must make them pay."
...
...
The old immortals of the Ten Thousand Mountains cursed Elder Bai in their secret transmissions.
Originally planning to reap benefits as the sandpiper and clam fought, being forced to seek refuge means no longer being able to be the fisherman, naturally leaving them bitterly unwilling.
