A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity 03

The Fifth Squad acted swiftly and decisively, gathering in the sky outside the Shadow Island in the blink of an eye.

Through Mo Tianji's calculations, they already knew the hiding places of the five ancient sages, and Su Yunyun had determined their respective opponents early on, making the plan foolproof.

Even so.

On the verge of parting, Wu Tao still turned around carefully to instruct everyone.

"Junior brothers."

"We are going to face our enemies separately soon. This matter is related to the great plan of the Demon Realm, and there must not be the slightest carelessness. If the people you fight are sensible, then let it go. After all, we are all human beings, and there is no need to fight to the death unless absolutely necessary."

"However, just in case someone is not sensible, you must go all out, and even if they die, you have to stab them a few more times to make sure. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, looking serious.

"Second Senior Brother is right!"

"Indeed, as Second Senior Brother said, even if it's not hard to deal with a few old fools, we can't be careless!"

"We must be steady!"

"Yeah! I will definitely let them see the highest level of art!"

Seeing that the junior brothers were already aware.

Wu Tao spat out the toothpick in his mouth and waved his big hand.

"Alright, let's go!"

With a deep voice, the Fifth Squad broke through the void and fled towards the previously known directions.

...

Far away in the South Pole of Cloud Star.

The desert is endless, the spiritual energy is extremely thin, and living creatures are rare in the world, not even a shadow can be seen for nearly ten thousand miles.

Even if a cultivator passes by, they will look disgusted and take a detour.

This kind of desolate place can be described as a place where birds don't shit and both humans and ghosts abandon it.

However.

Under various desolate appearances, there is another world.

Deep underground, an unknown tens of millions of feet deep.

The quiet deep valley has pleasant scenery, and exotic flowers and rare herbs are in full bloom. The elegant grass hut is situated in it, like a holy land of Peach Blossom Spring.

Inside the grass hut.

The ancient great sage Feng Jiuxiao is sitting next to the tea table, pouring tea calmly while discussing in a deep voice with the soul phantom in front of him.

"Brother Lei."

"Since Elder Jiang has already spoken, letting us appear in the world together, why are you in such a hurry? Anyway, as long as we appear in the world in our true forms, we can settle everything effortlessly. What's the harm in letting that evil demon be proud for a few days?"

As soon as the voice fell.

The still spiritual sense phantom in front of him suddenly waved his sleeve and turned around!

"Joke!"

"I, Lei Qianjue, have run rampant in the long river of time. When have I ever suffered such humiliation? That evil demon is just a minor junior who luckily has some talent. How can I let him continue to be proud?"

"Not to mention a few days, I can't even wait for a moment!"

Saying that, the phantom seemed to have thought of something, suddenly turned his head and looked sideways, with a touch of sarcasm in his eyes.

"Brother Feng."

"You repeatedly use Elder Jiang's words as an excuse to excuse yourself, can you really swallow this breath? Facing an ant, you actually repeatedly endure it. This is not your style."

"Could it be that since you woke up, you still haven't been able to recover to your peak state?"

As soon as these words sounded, a look of suspicion had already appeared on Lei Qianjue's face.

Feng Jiuxiao knew the other party's thoughts at a glance and smiled and put down his teacup.

"Hehe..."

"Brother Lei, you underestimate your younger brother too much."

"I'm not bragging. Among us, my cultivation base is not the strongest, but my understanding of the Great Dao is definitely not weak. I carefully set up this heaven and earth back then to absorb the power of heaven and earth to recuperate, and yesterday I have already recovered to 99% of my cultivation base."

Lei Qianjue's phantom was stunned upon hearing this, and then began to praise tactically.

"This..."

"Brother Feng is really amazing. Even I didn't see anything. Such a method proves that I indeed didn't misjudge the person!"

Hearing this, Feng Jiuxiao smiled faintly and cupped his hands.

"Brother Lei overpraises me. It's just a small trick, not worth mentioning."

The words were very modest, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth subtly betrayed the joy in his heart.

Seeing this.

Lei Qianjue continued to praise.

"Brother Feng's miraculous technique of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, hiding invisibly and recovering cultivation base in advance, is really eye-opening. Even Elder Jiang may not be able to peep into it, right?"

Hearing the voice, Feng Jiuxiao's smile deepened, and his words became a bit more casual.

"Where, where."

"This is just a life-saving method before deep sleep. All fellow Daoists have secret methods. This technique is just a bit peculiar."

"However, what Brother Lei said is not false. I'm not bragging. This technique is indeed extremely hidden. Not to mention Elder Jiang has difficulty peeping into it, even looking at the entire galaxy back then, few people could sense it."

Speaking of this, Feng Jiuxiao's smile gradually faded.

"Brother Lei, you don't have to take the opportunity to praise and beat around the bush anymore. If you have something to say, just say it."

Both of them are ancient legends, and their shrewdness can be described as extremely deep.

Seemingly casual words are actually full of probing. Even if they once fought side by side, it is difficult to be honest and open. After crossing two eras, selfish desires are also stronger.

Speaking of this, Lei Qianjue finally smiled and nodded.

"Okay, Brother Feng is really intelligent and extraordinary, not losing to the past."

"In that case, I'll get straight to the point."

"Now, Cloud Star has declined to this point. As long as we appear in the world, we will be the supreme beings, and all spirits are just ants. However, are you really willing to continue to be subservient to others and let thousands of rays of light gather on Jiang Yuan alone?"

The soft voice fell, and Feng Jiuxiao was stunned in his eyes.

Looking up in surprise and doubt, he saw a ruthless look in Lei Qianjue's eyes. Even if it was just a blurry soul phantom, it was hard to cover up the ambition in the bottom of his eyes, making his eyes widen!

"This..."

"Brother Lei, what do you mean?"

Before he finished speaking, Lei Qianjue had already nodded coldly.

"Not bad!"

"We followed Jiang Yuan for endless years, just to escape a disaster. What actual benefits are there?"

"Now, it is really a rare opportunity in a thousand years. As long as you and I enter the world one step ahead, we can take the lead in presiding over the overall situation of Cloud Star. That little evil demon is not worth mentioning at all, and he will never think that we will appear in the world in our true forms so soon. Taking him down is effortless.

"The other fellow Daoists have their own scruples, and they may not necessarily join forces to compete for the position of Star Master. As long as you and I join forces, we have already seized the initiative."

"As for Jiang Yuan, he thinks highly of himself and will definitely not make a move."

"At that time, you and I will be the Star Masters of Cloud Star. In this way, the resources and glory of the entire galaxy will belong to you and me. Wouldn't that be beautiful."

"Brother Feng, you and I have known each other for many years. I just revealed my grand plan. You must not hesitate anymore!"

Hearing this, Feng Jiuxiao also stood up in shock.

He knew Lei Qianjue's temperament. Under the seemingly violent and strong appearance, he actually hid selfish motives. He didn't expect that this selfish ambition was so big.

Preemptively become the Star Master and control the resources of the entire galaxy!

Relishing these words, Feng Jiuxiao had a trace of abnormal movement in his heart. After pondering for a few breaths, he was ready to voice his agreement to everything.

Just at this moment.

A terrifying vibration came from the ground!

"Bang!!!"

The two of them turned pale with fright at the same time, showing a panicked expression of a guilty conscience!

"What's the situation?"

"Your secret realm cannot be seen through by ordinary people. How could there be an aura coming? Could it be that Jiang Yuan noticed something!?"

Facing Lei Qianjue's eager questioning, Feng Jiuxiao also panicked.

He hurriedly stretched out his spiritual sense and saw clearly that there were just five unfamiliar faces on the ground. Then he opened his eyes, smiled faintly, and waved his hand.

"It's fine."

"It's just a few ants, a false alarm."

"Brother Lei, there is no need to panic. Let us set this matter aside for now. Once I dispose of these ants, I will send out my divine soul to discuss this with you in detail."

After these words were spoken.

Lei Qianjue's phantom dissipated into nothingness, and Feng Jiuxiao rippled open the void and stepped through.

When he emerged, he was already standing above an endless desert.

He narrowed his eyes and gazed into the distance.

In the sea of sand at the horizon, several pitch-black cultivators were marching forward, jointly carrying a coffin on their shoulders. It appeared they were on their way to bury someone, yet their feet continuously twisted in a dancing rhythm, making for an indescribably comical sight.

These clowns dared to parade a coffin right over his head and even disrupted his secret grand plan. Even ten thousand deaths could not absolve them of their crimes!

Feng Jiuxiao's eyes grew increasingly icy. Resting his left hand behind his back, he thrust his right index finger into the empty air!

When the true body of an Ancient Great Sage took action, the resulting might was terrifying beyond measure.

Even a casual point of his finger caused the world to change color, a display completely incomparable to days past. Visible spiritual energy converged into a roaring river, churning the sea of sand and sending it surging forward!

Boom!

A fierce gale howled, and rolling waves of sand blotted out the sky and the sun.

In the blink of an eye, the devastating force was about to engulf the five coffin-bearers!
