Chapter 555: Chapter 298: Immortal in Seclusion, Myriad-Head Grand Array, Exploring the Worlds Again!
"Whether the Daoran Sect sells my intelligence to the Cosmic Alien Race, or intends to gather intelligence on me and take action."
"This matter is quite serious indeed."
Lu Sheng looked at the White Emperor’s Order in his hand, a distinct gleam shimmering in his eyes.
"The former would mean the Daoran Sect betrayed the Human Federation, while the latter... means I’ve been targeted by the Daoran Sect."
"Moreover... such a sophisticated hidden array must be guided by the upper echelons of Daoran Sect. Perhaps it’s due to the previous Martial Immortal Technique that led some higher-ups in Daoran Sect to be displeased with me."
"Or perhaps... because of the Lord of Ascension incident, Immortal notices me!"
Lu Sheng thought deeply, his expression growing increasingly solemn.
"Regardless of the matter, being targeted by people from the Daoran Sect undeniably grants a sense of crisis. I should inform Emperor Bai!"
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, then prepared to communicate with Emperor Bai through the White Emperor’s Order.
After all, this matter has instilled a strong sense of crisis in Lu Sheng.
Daoran Sect, being an intergalactic force founded by Immortal, doesn’t bode well for Lu Sheng whether he’s targeted by Daoran Sect’s upper echelons or by Immortal, this Galactic Life Form.
Soon, a wave of energy emanated from the White Emperor’s Order, and Lu Sheng’s mind connected with the space within.
Within the White Emperor’s Order.
Emperor Bai gazed at Lu Sheng before him, his brows slightly furrowed: "Are you saying... individuals from the Daoran Sect are surveilling you within the Star River Star System?"
Lu Sheng nodded and promptly narrated the incident’s details to Emperor Bai.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Bai’s brows furrowed with a rising flame of anger.
"Immortal this guy... is too presumptuous!"
Emperor Bai’s voice reverberated, causing the space within the White Emperor’s Order to tremble, as if it would shatter at any moment.
Clearly, this matter has thoroughly incensed Emperor Bai.
"Star River Star System is the domain of Star River University, when did... the people of Daoran Sect dare to monitor the mentors of Star River University within my territory!"
"Simply presumptuous!"
Emperor Bai spoke with a deep voice, a wild aura emanating from his body.
However, this state did not last long, soon Emperor Bai’s face showed a trace of helplessness.
"But those two individuals... ultimately committed suicide?"
Lu Sheng nodded.
"Perhaps they feared their identities being exposed, not daring to linger before me, they finally chose suicide!"
Emperor Bai’s brows furrowed with a hint of severity.
"This truly complicates matters!"
"Although the hidden array is part of the Cultivator System, merely this cannot confirm that it was done by Daoran Sect, as individuals from Ten Thousand Laws Dao Sect can also set up such an array!"
Emperor Bai’s words made Lu Sheng nod in agreement, this complexity troubled Lu Sheng.
If there was evidence to confirm Daoran Sect’s crime, Lu Sheng would directly submit it to Emperor Bai, who would naturally hold Immortal accountable.
But now...
Though he knows Daoran Sect is monitoring him, he cannot find evidence.
This truly feels frustrating.
"By the way, you probably didn’t know, Immortal has already gone into seclusion!"
At this moment, Emperor Bai began speaking slowly.
"Hmm? Immortal has gone into seclusion?"
Lu Sheng’s brows slightly raised, not expecting Immortal to choose seclusion at this time.
"So, does this have nothing to do with Immortal?"
Emperor Bai shook his head: "It’s uncertain whether Immortal instructed Daoran Sect to monitor you, but with him in seclusion, the probability decreases."
"Daoran Sect surveilling you and Immortal instructing individuals to watch you are entirely different matters."
"If it were the latter, the danger level would be undeniably higher, for even I find it difficult to discern Immortal’s true intentions."
Speaking those words, Emperor Bai seemed somewhat helpless.
Immortal, this guy, gives off a sense shrouded in mist, no one knowing what exactly Immortal’s thoughts are.
Even Emperor Bai feels uncertain about Immortal’s stance.
"I understand this matter. Be attentive in the upcoming period, I will instruct the strong people from Star River University to thoroughly sweep the Star River Star System, ensuring that such events never occur again."
"If Daoran Sect remains stubbornly unawakened... even without evidence, I don’t mind personally visiting the Daoran Star System!"
The gaze of Emperor Bai carried a faint chill.
With Emperor Bai’s promise, Lu Sheng’s heart settled slightly.
Then he took his leave from Emperor Bai and exited the space of the White Emperor’s Order.
...
"The matter with the Daoran Sect has served as a warning for me!"
After returning to reality, Lu Sheng sat cross-legged within the Celestial Brilliance Star.
"The Daoran Sect was able to use hidden formations to spy on me and the Martial Immortal Villa, and they might have other means to strike at me."
"Under these circumstances, the construction of the defensive formations of the Martial Immortal Villa needs to be expedited!"
"These formations might not need to have strong offensive power, but their defense must be robust and even have the ability to scan the nearby cosmic void!"
"This way, we can prevent today’s incident from happening again!"
Lu Sheng spoke as an unusual gleam flickered in his eyes.
Then, behind Lu Sheng, the Ten Thousand Heads Manifestation reappeared, and the colossal dragon let out a series of low growls. Immediately, the Spiritual Qi of various attributes from all over the universe felt a sense of closeness and responded to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng began communicating with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, bit by bit constructing the formation in his mind.
As Lu Sheng constructed the formation, time rapidly passed by.
Before long, a month had passed.
Suddenly, a low dragon’s roar echoed throughout the entire Martial Immortal Villa.
All the living beings in the Martial Immortal Villa could hear the low dragon roar. Yet, having seen the nine-headed giant dragon before, the living beings in the Martial Immortal Villa were much more at ease.
"What is Mentor Lu Sheng up to again? But if it’s Mentor Lu Sheng... it should be something good for the Martial Immortal Villa, right?"
"I’m a bit looking forward to it!"
One by one, the beings of the Martial Immortal Villa looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with anticipation.
At that moment, within the Celestial Brilliance Star, the silhouette of a giant dragon, similar to the Ten Thousand Heads Manifestation behind Lu Sheng, suddenly appeared.
The giant dragon coiled within the Celestial Brilliance Star, emanating a terrifying aura.
Looking at the Ten Thousand Heads Dragon before him, Lu Sheng revealed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Let’s call it... the Ten Thousand Heads Grand Formation!"
"The Ten Thousand Heads Grand Formation practically possesses most of the powers of the Ten Thousand Heads Manifestation. Not only can it mobilize the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth for defense when strong enemies invade, but it can even summon the Ten Thousand Heads Dragon for combat!"
"Most importantly, the person controlling the formation can deploy the Ten Thousand Heads Dragon to investigate the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, preventing incidents like the hidden formation from happening again!"
"This way, the defense of the Martial Immortal Villa will be much stronger!"
"Even if I leave the Martial Immortal Villa in the future, it can easily intercept parts of Tier Seven cosmic life forms!"
Lu Sheng looked at the Ten Thousand Heads Grand Formation he created with ever-growing satisfaction.
"It’s almost ready, the formation is created, and the Star-devouring Octopus and Heaven-Reaching Vine only need to provide cultivation resources and wait for time to slowly mature them."
"With the Ten Thousand Heads Grand Formation, Star-devouring Octopus, and Heaven-Reaching Vine branches in existence, I don’t need to worry too much about the safety of the Martial Immortal Villa."
"Next... it’s time to continue cultivating the Celestial Demon Technique, striving to reach Tier Seven Peak sooner. By then... I can attempt to break through to Tier Eight!"
After taking a deep breath, Lu Sheng dispersed the Ten Thousand Heads Dragon and once again sat cross-legged on the green leaves of the Heaven-Reaching Vine.
"The world coordinates I marked before... the world suspected of containing Tier Nine or even Galactic Life Form, I definitely can’t go there, so I have to search for other worlds anew."
"Let’s see... how luck fares this time!"
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, and with a wave of his hand, droplets of blood transformed into pieces of Martial God Blood Stones, each possessing the aura of Tier Four Peak, and began randomly teleporting to various corners of the universe through the Ascension Factions’ long-distance random teleportation array.
"Next... let’s see how the luck fares this time!"
Lu Sheng gently spoke.
This time, Lu Sheng produced a larger number of Martial God Blood Stones; after all, with his cultivation reaching the late Tier Seven, he could endure a greater loss of vital blood.
A greater number... means a higher probability of Lu Sheng finding a suitable world.
As time flowed, it didn’t take long before Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and in those eyes was a faint glow flashing.
"Unexpectedly... luck isn’t too bad this time!"
The corners of Lu Sheng’s mouth curved into a slight smile.
"I’ve actually found three suitable life worlds!"
Lu Sheng spoke and then began sensing within the three life worlds where the random teleportation took him.
After linking to the locations of the three Martial God Blood Stones, sensing the intensity of these three worlds, Lu Sheng pondered.
"Among these three worlds, the world consciousness intensity of two is similar to the previous Martial God World, while the other belongs to a Tier Seven world, and it even feels stronger than the world consciousness of the previous Beast Realm!"
A faint sharpness flickered in Lu Sheng’s eyes.
"With this outcome... perhaps I can enter all three worlds simultaneously!"
A thought emerged in Lu Sheng’s mind.
