After exchanging a glance, Deng Yixin said, "I thought it was some kind of threatening letter from the Demon. The enemy has used similar tactics before, so I assumed it was the same this time and just tossed it in the trash and burned it without looking!"
Liu Entai nodded in agreement. "I was similar to Brother Deng, but I opened it. There wasn't much written in the letter—just that a grand gift would be given to everyone on Earth, and that Earth's mission has come to an end, urging me not to resist fate's arrangement!"
As soon as Liu Entai finished speaking, the people across from them nodded in acknowledgment, clearly confirming that they had received the same content in their letters. However, at that moment, a flicker of doubt crossed Xiao Yefeng's mind. Why were these letters only sent to those who had reached the Half-Step level? Those who hadn't reached that level didn't receive them, and even those who had already advanced didn't get them either. It wasn't surprising for Xiao Yefeng to receive a letter himself.
He hadn't made his advancement known; aside from the High-Level members of the Metaphysics Society, no one else knew. So it was understandable that the Perfect World people considered him a Half-Step level individual. But what did this all mean? Could it be that the gift mentioned in the letter was this batch of uncontrollable Gene Warriors?
If that were the case, it would be rather mundane. Although these individuals could instill a sense of panic in ordinary people, the fact that Gene Serum could induce Beastification and create Gene Warriors was no longer a secret.
Nowadays, there were even quite a few bored young people who, for thrills, would openly enter into a Half-Beast Transformation state on busy streets. Initially, this caused some panic among the crowd, but now it had become quite commonplace—much like how humanity got used to seeing moving cars over time. As for incidents of harm after Beastification, while they couldn't be ignored, they weren't seen as overly alarming either.
If this was indeed Perfect World's plan, then their scheme was disappointingly dull; there wasn't even a hint of excitement!
Those who had reached this level were not fools; everyone could guess what was happening. The atmosphere in the room grew tense until Qing finally broke the silence. "Jie! You want us to cooperate on reuniting the Four Sacred Artifacts and the map. I don't understand how this will create Causality for Perfect World!"
"Clap! Clap! Clap!" A series of applause erupted from Jie’s hands before he replied, "That's right; it seems unrelated but is actually the biggest issue. Perhaps you don't know that before I collaborated with Xius, Diana—the inheritor of the Sea God from Western Gods—left because she opposed my use of the Divine King's Scepter. She returned heavily injured after being attacked by Perfect World's Four Young Masters during her absence. After being wounded by an inexplicable attack from them, Diana's power continuously diminished until her life neared its end when she heard news from those who attacked her."
"What?" Qing asked.
"The four Young Masters of Perfect World received orders from their Master to search for the Four Sacred Artifacts and gather all four maps to open the Prehistoric Ruins and restore communication with the immortals who have long left Earth. Moreover, this potion seems to be something prepared for those immortals!" Jie said weakly.
Immortals?
The two words echoed in the room, resonating with everyone present. However, aside from seven or eight individuals who were not well-versed in this matter, the vast majority of people in the room were surprisingly aware of this existence.
The Eastern Guardian Realm, the Western Guardian Deities, and Xiao Yefeng, who had consumed Dao Wine, all knew about the existence of immortals. In fact, about sixty percent of those present recognized the term. When the name of the immortal was mentioned, those in the know raised their eyebrows, while others, like Cao Man and Liu Entai, looked at Jie with confusion.
"Immortal? Aren't those the ancient Transcendents who wielded Flying Swords to slay monstrous beasts? Didn't they leave long before Earth even came into being? What do you mean by that?" Li Xiangjun asked.
"Heh heh, I can't believe you would take rumors so seriously. It is true that immortals killed the giant beasts during Earth's infancy and left behind some cultivation methods. However, those immortals are not of our kind; it would be unusual for them to help uncivilized Earthlings out of kindness," Jie chuckled helplessly.
"Jie, this isn't something to joke about. Your Perfect World is all about immortals; this seems too unrealistic. Do you have any evidence?" Qing said gravely, clearly indicating that this was not a matter to be taken lightly.
"Sister! Stop deceiving yourself. I don't believe you didn't feel anything when you were injured last time. Even during such a time when spiritual energy is so thin, those people could still manipulate such massive waves of spiritual energy. Doesn't that say everything?" Jie argued.
The siblings Qing and Jie engaged in a heated debate. The atmosphere grew tense as Qing strongly disagreed with Jie's reasoning. She believed that those immortals could not possibly have any thoughts regarding today's Earth; after all, those individuals were powerful enough back then that if they had intentions towards modern Earth, they wouldn't need to be so indirect.
However, Jie bluntly stated that Perfect World was serving the immortals. The argument between the siblings reached no conclusion; neither side presented their maps or sacred artifacts. Yet their dispute ended there; they would not continue fighting over this matter for now. The missing Heart of Civilization and the final map became the core of their last exchange.
Qing knew that the map fragment was in Xiao Yefeng's hands but did not reveal it. Both sides agreed to protect their respective map fragments and sacred artifacts carefully. Whoever found the missing map and Heart of Civilization or retrieved the Eight Directions Seal and map from Perfect World would discuss future matters afterward.
This year's winter seemed quite strange; it should have been snowing by now, yet outside was a continuous light rain. A month had passed since Qing and Jie's meeting, and during this month, it felt as if the entire world had quieted down. The conflicts between East and West had vanished; although there were still some skirmishes within each faction, the once large-scale battles over Spirit Mine between Huaxia and Wa Country no longer seemed significant.
Of course, accelerating the extraction of Spirit Mine had become a top priority for all nations. Earth Spirit Energy was gradually dissipating; although only a month had passed, nearly sixty percent of people could no longer communicate with Qi. Those at the Pseudo Spirit stage had completely fallen apart; they could no longer cultivate at that level. Even those at the True Spirit stage began to feel overwhelmed as spiritual energy continued to vanish rapidly.
Thus, competition for Spirit Mine had reached a fever pitch. However, compared to Geomancers who relied solely on spiritual energy cultivation, Wa Country's Onmyoji suddenly erupted with immense combat capabilities. Whether manipulating Shikigami or employing unique Wa Country ninjutsu, they seemed unaffected by the disappearance of Qi. In this ebb and flow of power dynamics, Wa Country gained the upper hand in several encounters.
Once again, the battle had erupted in the mine that Liu Entai was responsible for guarding, the very mine where Xiao Yefeng had fought against the Yin Yang Master of Wa Country. Last night, having been pushed to his limits, Liu Entai finally called for help. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng stood at the entrance of the Liu Family estate, a massive Land Behemoth sprawled outside the gate, while he himself leaned casually against his vehicle.
"Yiyi, don't worry. I'll be back soon. The mine has been fully excavated, and as long as we retrieve this last batch of high-quality spirit stones, we won't need to return!" Xiao Yefeng assured her.
Inside the gate, sheltered from the rain, Liu Yiyi held a dripping umbrella and was sobbing quietly. Her fluctuating emotions had begun to affect the temperature around her; frost formed on the raindrops that fell near her, and her umbrella was covered in ice, with the water droplets gradually freezing.
"Recently, Yiyi, your Yin energy has become increasingly active. It seems that last time's fate alteration wasn't completely successful. Unfortunately, I don't have the Soul Bell with me; otherwise, with the power of the Treasure of the Cloud, I could resolve all the negative effects your body is currently experiencing!" Xiao Yefeng said helplessly.
Indeed, regarding Liu Yiyi's inability to control her Yin energy when she became emotional, Xiao Yefeng had informed the Three Elders of Huaxia about this issue. After a thorough examination by Master Yuqing among the Three Elders, they provided a definitive diagnosis that led Xiao Yefeng to realize a crucial point.
Initially, Xiao Yefeng believed that Liu Yiyi's current physical condition was due to Evil Qi. However, the diagnosis from the Three Elders revealed a standard answer: while her fate had been altered successfully, they had failed to dispel the malevolent energy. This failure stemmed from two issues: first, Xiao Yefeng's insufficient strength at that time meant he could only barely suppress the Evil Qi using Jiao Tu but lacked follow-up power.
Although he managed to complete it at a cost with the Shattering Soul Black Sword and Purple Gold Bell, remnants of Evil Qi still swirled within Liu Yiyi's body. If Liu Yiyi were a man, this power would merely enhance his strength; however, since she was a woman and lacked sufficient pure Yang energy during cultivation to suppress this cold energy, it led to her current predicament.
The second issue was that the magical artifacts were inadequate. At that time, having both the Bagua Mirror and Seven Star Needle helped balance out some of the power but was still insufficient. The reason why Xiao Family's ancestors had achieved a perfect outcome for someone whose fate was altered was simply because they possessed all Four Treasures and had prior strength. Now, without the Soul Bell in his possession, Xiao Yefeng knew he could not resolve Liu Yiyi's issues.
This conclusion reignited Xiao Yefeng's desire to search for the Soul Bell. Even if he had to borrow it from its current owner after finding it, he would be willing! As for why Liu Yiyi was sobbing due to Xiao Yefeng's departure—it was because last night she had tried to force herself into intimacy with him, and as a result of her overflowing Yin energy, she nearly caused him to lose his ability!
