The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 142 Be Careful, Master Guesses

Li Qing is very cautious, and this incident has caused quite a stir.

The Master must have sensed that there is a hidden hand manipulating everything behind the scenes.

If I were to reveal the information about the Foundation Building at this time, it would definitely be noticed.

"Since I want to be the hidden hand behind the scenes, I must do everything in secret and not be careless just because one plan has ended."

...

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Master is on the second floor of the natural residence, and Zheng Lao's figure appeared here.

"Master, all the situations have been fully accounted for."

"The total number of civilians killed and injured this time is 539."

"Their bodies have all been dealt with."

"Their assets have also been quietly transferred to the names of those related to them according to the rules."

"At the same time, everyone's memories have been slightly modified to ensure that there are no logical deviations in the entire city."

"Furthermore, three instructors in the academy have died, and all the students have been released."

"They have already started to resume their studies."

"As for the Demon Suppression Hall and the North Continent Royal Mansion, despite being well-prepared, the casualties are also over 1000."

"The Blood Demon Cult, at the site of the former True Cult, has at least deceived 150 Independent Cultivators."

"They have turned 150 Independent Cultivators into monsters and bred extraterritorial demons."

"This force is the main cause of their casualties."

"As for the person you asked me to pay attention to, who might appear in this war, I have collected information on everyone."

"No special figures appeared in the war."

"The hidden hand you speculated about has not been exposed."

As the Master listened to Zheng Lao's report, a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes.

"Recently, there has been a rumor circulating in the world."

"It is said that an unparalleled monster has harmonized the teachings of all schools and forged an unparalleled Dao Foundation."

"It is rumored to have the appearance of an immortal, and all the sects are investigating this person."

"My intuition tells me that the hidden hand behind this incident is very likely to be this person or someone behind him."

"The plan for Dragon Path City is very grand. If we compare this matter to a Human Tribulation, how much fortune do you think the person orchestrating all this will gain after passing through the tribulation?"

"Throughout history, the number of people who can accomplish such a thing is very limited."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Lao's pupils suddenly contracted, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"How is that possible?"

"There is a huge contradiction here."

"Even if this person has integrated the unparalleled talent of all schools."

"But why is he able to investigate the Demon Dao's plan so clearly?"

"The Demon Dao is not to be trifled with. If someone is investigating them, they cannot possibly remain unaware."

Moreover, the scope and number of people involved are simply not something that one person can handle."

"Yes, that's also the point that puzzles me."

The Master said with a solemn expression.

"Unless, he is not alone, and there is an unparalleled power and organization working for him behind the scenes."

"And this great power may be designing something, most likely related to one of the powers in the world of Dao."

"I am not worried about this person, I am worried about what the great power behind him wants to do."

"Is it really just to cultivate an unparalleled monster? I don't think so."

"Now, as the cycle of 300 years is approaching, unprecedented tribulations are descending from above."

"I'm afraid that some great power wants to take advantage of this chaotic world to achieve immortality."

"This is probably just the beginning of chaos."

The Master said calmly, and Zheng Lao's face turned pale, shaken to the core.

"What should we do then?"

After pondering for a moment, the Master shook his head and said, "We have no way to stop it."

"What we can do is actually only one thing, to do what we should do and defend Dragon Path City."

"Try to keep this chaos from affecting this place as much as possible."

"That's enough for our path."

"To benefit the world when we can, and to be self-sufficient when we cannot."

Zheng Lao nodded slightly, "Yes, Master."

The Master's originally worried expression suddenly changed.

An infinite righteous path enveloped him, and at this moment, he seemed to embody the righteous path of heaven, his aura completely different.

Sensing the change in the Master, Zheng Lao bowed slightly and said, "Master, I will take my leave."

The Master nodded silently, "Hmm."

Zheng Lao left, a hint of worry in his eyes.

"The Master is getting closer and closer to the righteous path. I wonder if he can survive this tribulation."

"Sigh."

...

In the teahouse, Li Qing sat in a corner on the second floor, watching the bustling street outside.

Dragon Path City has completely returned to calmness, with countless people flowing below, their faces filled with smiles.

Li Qing ate peanuts, listened to the noise below, and countless people were discussing and expressing various opinions.

"Have you heard? The south has been closed off, and it's said that there have been a million corpses."

"The border is in urgent need. It's said that several legions have been mobilized to the south."

"Your information is outdated. I heard that the west and east have also been closed off, and only the north is relatively peaceful."

"I heard that there is a cult in the west that has overturned several county towns, sweeping up a million followers, leaving famine and devastation in its wake."

"Although heavy troops have been sent to suppress it, the west being closed off has put the western continent in a very tight spot."

"It's a troubled time in the world, and it's best for everyone to stockpile food."

...

Li Qing listened quietly, sipping tea and eating roasted peanuts, with a hint of contemplation in his heart.

"My path is destined to be difficult. Every time I cross a major realm, there will be tribulations waiting for me."

In each realm, various invisible tribulations will also come at me.

I must have a thorough understanding of the world's affairs in order to detect dangerous tribulations at any time and calmly arrange to overcome them.

Every tribulation must be faced head-on, and must not be easily avoided, otherwise the tribulations will accumulate and eventually become insurmountable.

Therefore, information is crucial, and I must have a powerful information network.

Currently, my most powerful information network is the Shadow Puppets.

But over a hundred informants are ultimately not enough, so I need other sources of information.

"The Righteous Path of the Mortal World is Built from Alteration" must be utilized.

I can seek out all kinds of ruffians and refugees who are struggling to survive on the streets.

I can use this spell to convert them to the righteous path, and then let them meet more people to provide me with information at any time.

Thinking of this, Li Qing frowned, "No, this spell is too powerful, almost capable of distorting the soul, equivalent to forcibly reversing a person's fate."

The more people I influence, the stronger the tribulations will become.

It might not be worth it, and could bring about even more terrifying tribulations.

I should use this spell sparingly, as it can involve the fate of others. I need to find other means similar to the Shadow Puppets.
