The Unique Feng Shui Master
Jiang Xing's words made Xiao Yefeng helplessly close his eyes. After a long sigh, Xiao Yefeng leaned heavily against the back of the chair and remained silent for a long time.
Seeing Xiao Yefeng's expression of despair, Jiang Xing and the others felt a deep sadness in their hearts, yet there was nothing they could do. As the Guardian, Xiao Yefeng held the last map and the Heart of Civilization. He was the core of the plan, and the chaotic Dragon Pearl belonging to Pangu was still in his hands.
All three items were essential to Xiao Yefeng; no one could replace his position. This journey was the most perfect plan devised by Wu Kui based on everything Xiao Yefeng had laid out at this moment. It was the root of everything and the most reasonable way to conclude it all.
The plan was simple: Xiao Yefeng would hand over the Heart of Civilization, using the last map as a bargaining chip to agree to cooperate with Perfect World. With four maps, they would open a passage to the Low-Level Plane. At this time, Earth was situated at the boundary between the Low-Level Dimension and Intermediate Plane. To unilaterally open this passage, they needed to rely on the Four Sacred Artifacts to support the solid dimensional laws and ensure a stable passage.
Wu Kui's plan revolved around this concept. The Low-Level Plane, due to its connection with dimensions below it, would cause a collision between dimensional laws from both sides. During this process, the Higher Dimension Passage would be very fragile. Over the years, the power within the Dragon Pearl had nearly dissipated, leaving behind negative energy that even Pangu could not transform.
Pangu was a dragon, much like humans; throughout his life, he absorbed various nutrients while also utilizing his body to absorb negative byproducts. Especially for Pangu, who traversed multiple dimensions on missions, almost all negative energies squeezed from various dimensional laws were contained within the Dragon Pearl. Now that Pangu's aura was no longer suppressing it, these negative energies naturally occupied the Dragon Pearl, leading to an unstable internal atmosphere as they vied for dominance.
A year ago, Xiao Yefeng discovered a crack within the Dragon Pearl. When he attempted to probe its internal condition, he was nearly torn apart by the erupting dimensional forces. That incident left him in recovery for three months. During that time, the crack inside the Dragon Pearl transformed from one into countless fissures. From an external perspective, it resembled a glass ball heated to high temperatures and then plunged into ice water—on the verge of shattering.
Most critically, for half a year now, Xiao Yefeng had not dared to touch this Dragon Pearl. Since then, it had become a bomb; even glancing at it brought forth a chilling sense of danger. This Dragon Pearl was now an immeasurable explosive; any contact would unleash devastating power. Moreover, the stone box that originally housed it had already been shattered by this immense force.
To protect it from being touched, Xiao Yefeng connected it with his own Dragon Qi within his dantian. He infused this essence into it as a protective layer, finally managing to contain its dangerous aura. However, since the Dragon Pearl could not be housed within the Jade Ring due to its unstable energy—previously impossible and now even more so—Xiao Yefeng had no choice but to keep it close to him.
While Xiao Yefeng conversed with Wu Kui's spirit and Wu Kui struggled to find a way to destroy this passage, changes in the Dragon Pearl revealed something suitable for their situation. This passage had taken countless years for the God of Sorcery to painstakingly establish. It was incredibly difficult to create a high-level bridge connecting to a Low-Level Dimension within parallel dimensions.
Especially for a passage constructed explicitly to dominate Low-Level Dimensions like that of the God of Sorcery; attempting to create another one was sheer folly. If this passage were destroyed, the God of Sorcery would lose control over Earth. Once humanity developed Earth to a level comparable with Intermediate Plane standards, dimensional laws would grant Earth an exclusive passage representing its status and identity. Furthermore, Earth would receive protection from these unseen forces of dimensional laws; thus even if the God of Sorcery intended harm against Earth, it would be powerless to act!
So this was the best way to give Earth its final moment of respite, and what Xiao Yefeng needed to do was to detonate the Dragon Pearl, which had already transformed into a deadly weapon, at the center of the Four Sacred Artifacts while opening the passage between the two Dimensions. According to their calculations, the laws of different Dimensions would completely destroy this passage, and at that time, the Four Sacred Artifacts would also be destroyed by the parallel Dimension's laws due to the destruction of the passage!
These four items were essentially tokens left on Earth by the God of Sorcery. They were specifically crafted for this passage when it was opened. Without these items to support it, the passage would inevitably collapse. At that point, the God of Sorcery would lose control over the Perfect World, and Earth would be completely free before the next Higher Dimension Passage appeared!
This was indeed the most reasonable plan, but for those participating in this operation, it was also the most dangerous thing. The key to completing this action was timing the detonation of the Dragon Pearl precisely when the passage between the Low-Level Plane and Earth opened, ensuring both sides could enter and exit normally while preventing a reverse Dimension black hole from forming due to the explosion.
Of course, this could be easily resolved; Xiao Yefeng needed to place himself in the most dangerous position—right at the closest point of the passage to the Low-Level Plane—to ensure he could detonate it at that critical moment. However, it was clear that whoever executed this task would face a choice: either detonate it while charging toward the exit located in the Low-Level Plane or turn back to return to Earth’s Dimension.
The former option would lead directly to death beside the God of Sorcery, while the latter required facing a Long Passage. The Dragon Pearl, which would explode if it lost its Dragon Qi attachment in an instant, could not be more than three meters away from Xiao Yefeng. If it exceeded that distance when he detonated it, the God of Sorcery would forcibly reclaim it. If that happened, all efforts would be in vain. Therefore, Xiao Yefeng had to detonate the Dragon Pearl within two meters of himself. The instant explosion of such a powerful item could destroy the Higher Dimension Passage—could Xiao Yefeng escape unscathed?
Thus, everyone who heard about this plan knew that Xiao Yefeng was doomed. A sense of sorrow permeated those who understood what was at stake. Those chosen by Xiao Yefeng were aware of what he would face; they knew their journey was fraught with peril. Yet they did not express any reluctance toward him because they needed to ensure that they held control over the Four Sacred Artifacts at that critical moment. Once they secured that moment, they could turn and flee—facing death but still having a glimmer of hope for survival!
Meanwhile, Xiao Yefeng stood farthest from the passage, facing only destruction's violent force! So what choice did they have?
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng sat quietly in his chair as Jiang Xing and his companions sighed and said, "Don't worry! Earth will always belong to humanity, and we will wait for our hero's return!" With that, he took hold of an excited Cao Man and an unwilling Li Xiangjun and left.
Now only Xiao Yefeng and Elder Yuqing remained in the room. Xiao Yefeng said, "Grandma! You should rest early! In this plan, you are supposed to take control of a sacred artifact from one of their strongest members! There’s no one safer than you!"
Xiao Yefeng's voice carried a hint of sadness but was filled with righteousness. At that moment, Yuqing's aged face suddenly broke into a gentle smile as she said kindly, "Don't worry; everything will go smoothly! They won't guess our plan or understand our sacrifices. Victory will belong to us, and humanity will one day possess its own Higher Dimension Passage!"
With that, Elder Yuqing left the conference room. Now only Xiao Yefeng remained facing an empty conference table filled with aging monitors that gradually lit up.
Xiao Yefeng stood up and pulled back the curtains by the window; a faint orange light appeared on the horizon. Adjusting his expression as he looked at the light, he realized he had to return home. Consort Mi would wake up in half an hour to prepare breakfast after getting up early, and Yiyi would start tending to everything for their two children. He needed to forget everything planned during this night and absolutely must not reveal any information to the Two Goddesses!
In the morning sunlight of Beijing North, an invisible figure moved silently between the towering buildings. Quietly, it slipped through the balcony of a high-rise into a room, closing the window carefully. After adjusting his clothes, Xiao Yefeng stepped out of the room. This was a temporary residence for the Xiao family, and this particular room served as a study. As Xiao Yefeng returned to the main room, he found that the two companions were still fast asleep, and upon opening the door, he saw that the Two Goddesses were also in deep slumber.
Taking a deep breath to steady his emotions, Xiao Yefeng sat by the window and picked up his talisman brush. He began to draw symbols; for his plan to succeed, he needed a special Talisman. This was the last type of Talisman that had appeared as Xiao Yefeng's cultivation reached its current level, one that had long been attempted before.
However, the inspiration contained within the brush was insufficient, and the quality of the talisman paper was lacking. These two factors had caused over a hundred previous attempts by Xiao Yefeng to end in failure. Most critically, he lacked enough Cinnabar blood to support the level of Talisman Water needed for this Talisman. Thus, he was unable to complete its inscription. Fortunately, during discussions with Wu Kui on how to ensure that most people could safely exit the passageway, Xiao Yefeng had encountered this Talisman before.
Although Xiao Yefeng was reluctant to admit it, this Talisman was hardly worth mentioning in Wu Kui's eyes. In the Low-Level Dimension, it was considered a common ability-reversing Talisman; in the Low-Level Plane, it was practically everywhere! Despite Xiao Yefeng's unwillingness to acknowledge that his family's most prized Talisman was so prevalent in the Low-Level Plane, Wu Kui had to concede that this Talisman was irreplaceable in their current plan.
