"Back to the point, what was your Primordial Spirit doing just now?"
"Is every question by seniors as straightforward as this?"
"Ahahaha!" Han Xiao laughed awkwardly, "We cultivators need not beat around the bush; I am just particularly curious about that stone of yours."
Wang Jixuan thought for a moment and simply said, "It's a treasure I happened upon, also a key; I can't say much more. There's a Da Luo Golden Immortal inside with quite a foul temper."
Han Xiao looked at Wang Jixuan as if he were some monster: "Fellow, are you sure you know what a Da Luo Golden Immortal is?"
"Hmm, I have a rough impression."
"Da Luo Golden Immortal, free from the Five Elements, beyond the Three Realms, unbound by rules, living in carefree freedom. Every Da Luo Golden Immortal is a giant in the Immortal Realm, and by becoming one, they can wander the Sea of Chaos, no longer affected by the Heavenly Dao..."
Han Xiao couldn't help but marvel:
"I have been cultivating for 19,000 years now, and while a Golden Immortal is attainable, becoming a Da Luo is very difficult.
"That's how it is; in the Immortal Realm, I have a little reputation.
"You say your stone houses a Da Luo Golden Immortal? I don't believe it, don't believe it!"
Wang Jixuan pondered deeply.
Friend or foe, it was unclear whether Han Xiao would become greedy upon seeing the treasure, which might be a threat to himself.
Master Wang understood that he needed to raise his own status and background.
Out in the world, one's identity is self-given.
"That senior does not like being disturbed, and without a summons, I dare not meet casually."
Wang Jixuan feigned contemplation, finally seeming to reach some decision.
Then he gestured for Han Xiao to extend his right hand, directly pressing it onto Han Xiao's arm.
Han Xiao was not afraid.
A cultivator in the mid to late stages of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, even with heavy treasures, posed absolutely no threat to his safety.
He was curious to see what Wang Jixuan was selling and how he would prove that a Da Luo Golden Immortal stood behind him.
And then...
A flash of profound and obscure Daoist charm passed by.
What was this!
Han Xiao widened his eyes as though he had seen a ghost, almost like a maiden spotting spring; his eyeballs nearly popped out.
The Time Dao!
The most mysterious and difficult to comprehend among the Three Thousand Great Daos, the Time Dao!
And this strand of Daoist charm, not something a cultivator beneath an immortal can form, seemed more like it was brought out by Wang Jixuan's Primordial Spirit from somewhere, weak but extremely profound!
Han Xiao sat solemnly with respect.
He maintained a dignified posture, cupped his hands towards Wang Jixuan, and said, "I was rash, fellow, please do not be offended, nor the senior; I shall drink three cups as penance!"
After speaking, Han Xiao tilted his head back and downed a glass of red wine.
Wang Jixuan sighed in relief inwardly.
He whispered, "Please keep this matter a secret, senior; it concerns my life and death."
"Ah, no need for such formality!"
Han Xiao said with a friendly smile:
"I'm only a few years older than you, just call me Brother Han.
"Let's not discuss that senior anymore; when I return to the Immortal Realm, I will only mention it to an elder in our organization. We do not wish to antagonize any Golden Immortals or Da Luo, but rather unite all available powers."
"Given this, let me properly introduce you to our group of Loose Cultivators."
"Listening carefully!"
...
Half an hour later.
Wang Jixuan excused himself for a meeting, leaving the reception room where Han Xiao was.
Han Xiao busied himself with a projection screen, merrily surfing the internet on Earth, finding this method of information exchange quite novel.
The Daoist quickly sorted through all the current information in his mind.
A bit messy, let's straighten it out.
The organization Han Xiao belongs to is called the [Thousand Generation Alliance].
As Han Xiao explained, it indeed is a loose organization of loose cultivators, without a specific purpose, initially forming just to support each other. Later, with some 'retired' Tianluo and Dark Sect experts joining, it gradually developed and expanded.
They have no fixed territory nor control any precious mines, but their numbers could rival a major power, and they even have a resident Da Luo Golden Immortal with good relations with several Da Luo Golden Immortals.
Although Han Xiao intentionally concealed it, Wang Jixuan still discerned a bit of the scheme within the [Thousand Generation Alliance].
They oppose the Heavenly Dao.
The Thousand Generation Alliance sent the Eight Immortals of the Firmament to the Endless Star Sea to search for the whereabouts of the 'Immortal Prohibition Wang Zheng,' hoping to rescue him.
Their goal in rescuing Wang Zheng is, in fact, aimed at the Heavenly Dao.
Han Xiao casually mentioned:
"Many seniors in the alliance say there's something wrong with the Heavenly Dao, perhaps one of the culprits of the Infinite Tribulation.
"I don't understand this, after all, I've never been involved with Tianluo or the Dark Sect. Some of them were once tributes to the Heavenly Dao in the Immortal Realm, and have done work for the Heavenly Dao, and their cultivation is profound. They should have sensed something unusual.
"However, I stress again that we will never force fellow Daoist to do anything, including leaving with us.
"Unless fellow Daoist is in critical danger and facing certain death, then we might choose to intervene and take fellow Daoist away directly... But fellow Daoist, don't take my words too seriously, the eight of us know our own weight and won't easily risk ourselves for fellow Daoist."
Han Xiao's words were actually quite fair.
Wang Jixuan also liked this way of communication, where everyone is open and doesn't make false promises.
The current situation is:
The Dark Sect Heavenly Dao wants to kill him, the Tianluo Heavenly Dao wants to protect him, and there is a force against the Heavenly Dao in the Immortal Realm that has also sent people here.
Actually, it's not too complicated.
Clearing up the positions of each side and their attitudes towards you, the rest becomes easier.
Seeking the Moon God Palace was a proactive move by Wang Jixuan, and in his view, it was the most crucial step.
He did not expect that the senior Bai Gu from Moon God Palace was not only not completely dead but had also lived a second life, even stronger than at his peak.
Time Dao;
Daluo Golden Immortal;
This senior is truly the variable, isn't he?
Wang Jixuan thinks he must now correct his attitude, firm his belief, cling tightly to the support of the Moon God Palace, and first survive this turmoil before considering other things.
The current issue to deal with is the large number of Dark Sect members rushing to Earth.
Wang Jixuan thought for a moment, let No.2 contact Mu Dan, and go to Yin Lin to ask about the situation.
This area is controlled by Yin Lin and Master Bao Yan, both have arranged many insiders under the hand of the other, so there should be news.
After that, Wang Jixuan smoothly opened the virtual meeting room, donned a fake image, and held a meeting with Zhou Zhengde, Wu Man, and Shen Qionglin to discuss countermeasures.
The countermeasures are nothing more than three types:
Evacuation, ambush setting, counterattack.
Earth is the mother star of Earth civilization, but its important production base has already moved to No.2 Star and Third Star, with more political and cultural significance here.
In any case, just try to minimize civilian casualties and effectively kill Dark Sect members.
Before the meeting of Wang Jixuan finished, No.2 reported hastily.
"Zero asked, Yin Lin clearly stated that Master Bao Yan and others do not know the whereabouts of Wang Zheng; they are using Earth as a threat to force Wang Zheng to appear, thus gathering a large number of experts here."
It's bad.
It really is this situation.
Wang Jixuan couldn't take direct action now.
If he acts, his whereabouts will be exposed, attracting more Dark Sect members, and then the entire Earth might be erased.
The Thousand Generation Alliance can directly send eight Heavenly Immortals;
Do Tianluo and the Dark Sect not have means to bypass the Heavenly Dao restrictions?
They must certainly have them.
Wang Jixuan asked: "How long does it take to evacuate all the people on Earth?"
"Sixty-nine days, and requires massive resources," Zhou Zhengde said, "There are currently about 2.9 billion people on Earth."
Wang Jixuan sat in the meeting room and fell into long contemplation.
2.9 billion.
Goodness, Earth's population has recovered quite quickly.
This doesn't even include those expedition fleets and No.2 Star.
"Then I shall leave," Wang Jixuan said, "We can't let Earth become the vortex center, this time the enemy is too strong, there are many powerful Immortals... You continue to make defenses, try to transfer a portion of the industrial population, I will soon show up elsewhere and attract the enemy away."
Zhou Zhengde asked: "How strong can the enemy be? We have a large number of ship cannons!"
"We cannot prevent them from boarding enemy strikes," No.2 calmly reminded, "The officer's plan is to protect Earth, his pressure is already very great, please do not add to his burden."
Zhou Zhengde remained silent.
This old man's eyes were somewhat clouded.
"I think," Zhou Zhengde made one last effort, "We can ask Lingtong's opinion..."
"This matter need not be told to her."
Wang Jixuan stood up with a smile: "Brothers will support me."
"Then I must support."
"Alright, I'll ask Lao Zheng to bring a senior over, I'll go find another area to meet them."
Wang Jixuan said:
"My next battle is unrelated to Earth; you just protect my memories, that's enough."
The virtual meeting room did not echo.
Wang Jixuan glanced at the Stone of the Past, turned and headed towards Han Xiao.
He must quickly meet with Elder Shao and Lao Zheng.
Asking Han Xiao to fight may be a bit difficult, but having him help escape shouldn't require too much cost.
