Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 842 - 80: Rob

Chapter 842: Chapter 80: Rob

Many times, people do not care about the rigour of the reasoning process—the most important thing is whether the result is correct.

For example, when Cao Cao was preparing for the Battle of Guandu, his strategist Guo Jia presented the “Ten Victories and Ten Defeats” theory. At first glance, each point seemed to make sense, but there was not half a point of verification of their truth.

However, Cao Cao needed such statements to boost morale, and the generals also needed to inspire confidence; thus, they chose not to question them.

Similarly, Wei Dongliu’s analyses throughout are all “in my view,” actually lacking sufficient supporting arguments.

But since everyone originally had no clue, now that the Alliance Hierarch has an idea, it wouldn’t hurt to try.

In Wei Dongliu’s view, his reputation among the Six Paths has undoubtedly reached the point of “going with the flow,” where the cultivators from various sects do not resist his commands and cooperate very well, without considering whether it is in their own interest.

The group arrived at the Northern Jing Plains and quickly dispersed to search for clues.

Sure enough, they soon found the river located by Shushan.

Since Ling Yunpo had already found the key small deity statue for entering the secret realm before, Wei Dongliu didn’t bother to play along and scanned directly towards the location of the small deity statue.

Hmm, nothing?

Wei Dongliu was first stunned, then quickly recovered.

That means the deity statue was not originally in the riverbed.

He pondered for a moment, then called over Madam Jiang and Real Person Youlan, describing the appearance of the deity statue.

“What is the function of this deity statue?” Real Person Youlan asked.

“If I am not mistaken, it is the key to entering the Cloud Dream Marsh Country,” Wei Dongliu replied.

So why is it a deity statue? Real Person Youlan couldn’t figure it out, but seeing Jiang Li An had no questions, it would seem foolish of him, as the deputy, to keep asking.

Therefore, he also summoned his own subordinates and ordered: We are looking for a deity statue, about the size of a palm, with a third eye on the forehead, green face and fierce fangs, extremely ferocious.

Upon hearing it was Wei Dongliu’s intention, the cultivators of the Nether Ghost Path did not question and quickly dispersed to look for clues, making Real Person Youlan even more uneasy.

Could it only be me who doesn’t know why are we looking for this deity statue?

With that thought, he quickly put on a calm and profound expression, as if he had already seen through everything.

By the time it was nearly evening, there was finally a result.

A cultivator disguised as a wealthy merchant went to a nearby village to inquire, and a villager provided a clue, saying that such a statue had been seen in a deserted land temple.

The cultivator did not dare to delay and after verifying it at the land temple, hurried back to report to the higher-ups.

Wei Dongliu then led the people majestically to the Mountain God Temple.

The Mountain God Temple was hidden in a mountain to the north of this place, behind a creek waterfall.

Using spells to remove the vines, they saw there was no Mountain God Temple at all, just a shabby cave.

It seemed that passers-by had come in to take shelter from the rain, as there were dirty sheepskin mats, burnt firewood, and empty bamboo baskets inside the cave. Deeper inside, near the pile of decayed wood and brick debris, a small deity statue lay on the ground.

It was precisely the deity statue Ling Yunpo had seen before.

Wei Dongliu took the deity statue, then went near the river and handed it to Jiang Lian, saying:

“Madam, please infuse the Seven Emotions and Six Desires into it.”

Jiang Lian immediately cast a spell as instructed, and indeed, a purple light flashed in the eyes of the deity statue, creating a force that pulled everyone towards another world.

Soon, the cultivators of the Six Paths found themselves in the midst of Marsh Country’s Yun Dream.

Before anyone could react, a terrifyingly shrill scream pierced the entire Heavenly Dome.

Immediately after, a massive army of demons emerged from the opposite rainforest.

Wei Dongliu scrutinized them and recognized that the opposing side consisted entirely of snakes, insects, rats, and ants—creatures of the lowest Bloodline Rank even in the Eastern Emperor Demon Realm.

There was no need for specific orders, as numerous cultivators unleashed their Demonic Techniques and spells to repel the assault of these creatures.

Though numerous, the opponents seemed to have relatively low Ranks, with only about thirty to forty capable of Transformation and Core Formation, and merely five to six Demon Kings in the Dong Yuan Realm, which relieved the Six Paths side.

After battling fiercely for around the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the demons were steadily defeated, retreating towards the north, leaving behind nothing but scattered corpses that gradually sank into the mud beneath.

“Alliance Hierarch, we’ve captured a prisoner alive,” said Real Person Youlan, instructing his subordinates to bring the small demon forward.

The snake demon was close to achieving Core Formation and had a human-like physique, except for the scales remaining on its face.

“Why did you attack us?” inquired Wei Dongliu coldly.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

The snake demon was initially startled, then slowly said:

“Lord Ba Snake decreed that any humans invading Marsh Country of Yun Dream shall be killed without exception.”

Wei Dongliu waved his hand, and Real Person Youlan had his subordinates drag the snake demon away for a Soul Search.

After a while, they finally gathered most of the information about Marsh Country of Yun Dream:

It turns out that this Marsh Country was indeed founded by the ancient Xuanwu Clan, with the Jiaolong and Xuan Gui Clans residing here like a hidden paradise, avoiding extermination by humans.

However, later on (around the period of elucidation), as Marsh Country’s understanding of the outside world deepened, internal conflicts over viewpoints arose.

The Jiaolong side insisted on isolationism, believing that Marsh Country’s existence must not be revealed to the outer world, but many cultivators from the Xuan Gui Clan thought otherwise. They believed that the Demon Race should help each other and could accept some demons persecuted by the Human Race to live and multiply in Marsh Country.

Demons should help demons!

What followed is needless to say. Unable to accept this, a large number of dragons left, and those who remained could not contend with the Xuan Gui, resulting in Marsh Country secretly accepting immigrants from the outside world.

Since demons of higher Bloodline Ranks tend to have lower reproductive capacity within the Demon Race,

over the years, the population ratio of the Xuanwu Clan was increasingly diluted, while the numbers of various snakes, insects, rats, and ants surged, eventually evening out the disparity in strength between the majority and minority clans.

During this period, several upheavals occurred. For instance, reformist factions emerged among the dragons and the Xuan Gui, aspiring to restore the greatness of the Xuanwu Clan, with radicals even proposing the reinstatement of bloodline hierarchy and slavery—yet due to the Xuanwu Clan’s diminishing strength, these efforts came to naught.

Until about 3,600 years ago, when the last dragon fell during his Tribulation, power in Marsh Country finally fell into the hands of the Ba Snake Clan.

After understanding the situation, they realized that the current Marsh Country truly lacked any high Rank demons with formidable bloodlines.

Considering the abundant resources left by the ancient Xuanwu Clan, such as Magical Treasures, Elixirs, and Scriptures, it’s as if an undefended piece of fat meat was laid bare before them, ready for the taking.

Thus, Wei Dongliu, under the expectant eyes of everyone, pretended to ponder for a moment before nodding:

“Before Shushan finds this place, act quickly!”

Rob!
