Longevity Strange Immortal-Chapter 607 - 35: 10,000 Zu Xiuyuns Enter the Game! (Part 2)
The cultivators advanced steadily, with the Skillful Woman replacing Zu Xiuyun to command the overall situation, surrounding Tian Chenzi to defend and counterattack, forcibly blocking the deceitful objects.
Dozens of people who survived until now cooperated very tacitly, and the resources provided by Li Mo were also the reliance for long-term combat.
Zu Xiuyun had been closing her eyes to Nourish Spirit, occasionally taking action.
By the time they reached halfway up the mountain, half a month had unknowingly passed, and everyone wore an expression of numbness.
Above halfway up the mountain, even the Taoist Child had the level of a True Immortal.
Really... unable to climb anymore.
The cultivators hid in the ruins, panting briefly and embarrassingly.
Ye Zhuo Daoist, with only half of his head remaining, sat by the campfire muttering to himself, while Taibai Zi, who drank with him, had just died not long ago.
Kong Yong was left with missing limbs, his chest heaving violently.
Tian Chenzi’s realm silently declined, and now even his False Immortal Perfect cultivation was on the verge of collapse, unable to provide them shelter any longer.
Only the Twelve Immortals remained, without any losses.
But they were entirely relying on their Immortal Bodies to fight desperately, with their cultivation nearly exhausted, their Externalized Dharma Bodies severely injured, and only one-tenth of their strength remaining.
Zu Xiuyun glanced over the weary faces of the cultivators.
They exerted all their strength, yet seeing the corpse sea of heavenly changes catching up felt like futile efforts.
Zu Xiuyun collapsed to the ground, her Mental Realm completely collapsing.
"Master, what on earth should I do?"
She subconsciously used Word-to-law, and a faint consciousness appeared in the Mud Pill Palace.
Li Mo’s voice sounded, "A Xiu, look outside, haven’t you already jumped out of the entire chessboard after mortal transformation?"
The consciousness vanished.
Zu Xiuyun suddenly opened her eyes, the Mental Realm planning the world reunited.
"It shouldn’t be this way, it shouldn’t be this way!!!"
Qu Ai snapped back, asking somewhat despairingly, "Senior Sister, what should we do now? Reaching the mountain top is simply unrealistic."
The other cultivators didn’t speak, even though everyone had the Word-to-law; the Three Pure Ones Hall at the mountain top remained as remote as ever.
"Since the Master is absent, I will place the pieces for him instead."
Zu Xiuyun, panting heavily, pointed to the ruins not far away.
"Wait for me!!!"
"You go to the ruins three hundred meters northwest and wait for me, at most four or five hundred years, I will definitely come, believe me, I will definitely come!!!"
Si Rui, with a sad expression, softly said, "Senior Sister, it’s unnecessary; even if you can’t obtain the Three Immortal Ancestors’ remnants, the Master won’t blame you in the least, heaven’s will is hard to defy."
Ye Zhuo Daoist chuckled, saying, "We don’t blame you either, countless mortal world beings perish all at once, at least survive a few hundred more years."
"Hahaha."
Kong Yong laughed out loud, but grimaced as the wound was stirred, the growth of flesh and blood extremely slow, and in the perilous Heavenly Court, they could only wait for death.
"Wait for me, in that ruin no deceitful objects have appeared for nearly five hundred years, to be safe, let’s set the time around four hundred years."
Zu Xiuyun looked at Si Rui, solemnly saying, "Junior Sister, it’s up to you, hide them in the location I specified, make sure not to be detected by deceitful objects, wait for me four hundred years."
Da Hua Taoist wanted to speak but was stopped by the Skillful Woman.
In their eyes, Zu Xiuyun had already gone completely mad, so there was no need to make it difficult for the latter, so let the Senior Sister no longer hold regrets.
Zu Xiuyun took a deep breath and continued to supplement, "If you obtain the Three Taoist Ancestors’ remnants, give them to another me."
The cultivators exchanged glances.
Zu Xiuyun made no further explanation, squinting her eyes, she said, "Four hundred years of time is but a dream."
"I’m going to place my piece!!"
The cultivators instantly vanished from sight.
Zu Xiuyun spat blood, forced herself to stand, and pointed her finger at her forehead.
"The next part is up to other Zu Xiuyuns; I have to go kill Chunyangzi!"
She once again used Word-to-law, returning to an earlier Immortal Realm, to ambush Chunyangzi, the number one figure between the Immortal and Mortal Realms.
This chess game cannot be lost.
......
One moment, the cultivators were listening to Zu Xiuyun’s insane ramblings, and the next moment, Zu Xiuyun vanished before them.
They still remained in the ruins, but the surrounding things had subtle differences.
Si Rui looked towards the Heavenly Court outside, and for some reason, some Immortals seemed not yet fallen, stubbornly defending temples and cleansing deceitful objects.
"What..."
Tian Chenzi solemnly said, "We have arrived in the Immortal Realm four hundred years ago, yes, it’s definitely the Immortal Realm four hundred years ago."
Yu Xiao asked in disbelief, "Word-to-law?"
"Yes... it seems so."
The Twelve Immortals suddenly realized, no wonder there were two Li Mos in the world, Word-to-law could actually reverse the flow of time.
Luo Fu frowned, "What does Senior Sister mean by asking us to wait for her?"
"Don’t think about it for now, follow me."
Si Rui activated her Immortal Eye, guiding the cultivators towards the ruins three hundred meters northwest.
They feared encountering unexpected situations, their hearts racing over the short distance until silently slipping into the depths of the ruins, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
The cultivators set up Concealing Breath Arrays in the narrow space, confirming repeatedly there were no omissions.
They rested and recuperated, but due to severe injuries, the four hundred years of time was scarcely enough, swiftly passing by.
During this period, no matter what kind of upheaval occurred in the Immortal Realm, the cultivators remembered Zu Xiuyun’s words faithfully, never stepping out.
Upon the arrival of the second heavenly change, complete madness ensued.
"Someone’s coming."
Si Rui seemed to have discovered something, her pupils narrowing shortly after.
"Who’s coming?"
Yu Xiao channeled Spiritual Power into his eyes, staring intently at the mountain’s base, where over two hundred cultivators were stepping into the South Heavenly Gate.
The cultivators experienced scalp numbness, especially after noticing themselves from a bystander’s perspective.
As time passed, the group approached the halfway point of the mountain where they were, reliving all the experiences anew.
The distance between the two groups was merely three hundred meters.
The cultivators felt extremely anxious; if they met, the others would inevitably think it was an Illusion Technique caused by deceitful objects, leading to a conflict.
Not long after.
The new batch of people was sent back four hundred years, leaving only Zu Xiuyun in place.
Zu Xiuyun anticipated the cultivators three hundred meters northwest and walked slowly towards them, soon disappearing into the ruins under the protection of the Array.
Si Rui wanted to speak but hesitated, "Senior Sister..."
"It’s not time yet."
Zu Xiuyun smiled and said, "Your strength is insufficient to ascend the Three Pure Ones Hall; concentrate on cultivation, only Daluo Golden Immortal can protect itself."
"Remember, only when you are capable enough can you leave the ruins."
Zu Xiuyun gently stroked Si Rui’s head, "The entire Heavenly Court is a treasure trove of resources for you; while Daluo Golden Immortal Taoist inheritance is hard to find, many ruins absolutely have them."
"See you in four hundred years."
With that, Zu Xiuyun used Word-to-law again, and the cultivators vanished once more.
Zu Xiuyun gazed at the empty ruins, touching her forehead: "Trying to kill Chunyangzi, no, even approaching Chunyangzi, is an impossible task."
"We can only gamble, gamble on an unrealistic chance."
"Only when countless Zu Xiuyun ambush Chunyangzi is there a sliver of hope."
Zu Xiuyun emerged into the external world, bathing in the blazing sunlight.
She no longer felt lost; even if countless of herself were merely expendable pieces on the chessboard, the effort would not be in vain; many ants can devour an elephant.
"No matter what, I must achieve it."
Zu Xiuyun, with a shift in thought, entered the flow of time, the ruins returned to peace.
The new cycle began.
It was said that if Li Mo’s initiation of the Causality Cycle, with the Creation Book’s assistance, was a dead end of facing the Master of Time obstinately.
Then Zu Xiuyun’s initiation of the Causality Cycle was to build bridges and mend paths for Li Mo.
Four hundred years a cycle.
Calculated with Li Mo’s time passage, where one day is equivalent to a hundred days, before the Immortal Realm’s destruction, a thousand Zu Xiuyuns will intervene in the game.
Li Mo understood as well, should he pose a threat to the Master of Time, Zu Xiuyun’s action of starting a time loop would be a self-destructive move, hence he willingly allowed Maitreya Buddha to seize his body.
They wanted to win the chess game against the Master of Time, they must prepare for using themselves as chess pieces.
If they dare lose a body, they dare pull the emperor down from his horse!
Phase Five of the plan concluded.
Next.
Was the sixth phase of the counterattack from despair.
