Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 1129 - 1127: Joining Forces
Qian Wangsun stared at the image of Xiang Tiandi, formed from the white clouds before him, understanding that it was merely a doppelganger positioned near the Tian Palace, specifically to find an opportunity to rescue Si Yi Tianjun and the others.
Qian Wangsun casually replied to Xiang Tiandi's inquiry, "He went to have diarrhea."
Xiang Tiandi: "..."
Qian Wangsun said, "Why don't you come with me to rescue Si Yi Tianjun and the others? Didn't I promise you I'd save them?"
Xiang Tiandi responded, "Even if the Dutian Great Spirit Officer isn't here, there are still dozens of immortals in the Tian Palace, how do you plan to rescue them?"
Qian Wangsun walked straight to the Tian Palace gates, as his mecha began transforming, the nanotechnology cells suddenly dispersed, becoming a gentle breeze that directly blew into the Tian Palace.
Left in the wind was Qian Wangsun's voice saying, "Just follow closely."
Xiang Tiandi furrowed his brows, deciding to follow and see what's happening, knowing that since this was just a doppelganger, its death wouldn't represent much loss.
Meanwhile, Qian Wangsun's voice was heard once more, "32° north-east, 3.3 meters forward."
"Utilize the Illusion Cloud Forbidden Technique for disguise."
"Restrict your Primordial Spirit powers, the Great Spirit Officer has set a boundary spell here, don't use Luotian Realm to traverse the space."
"12° north-west, advance 6.8 meters."
"Wait..."
"Alright, your mindset has stabilized and you won't make mistakes, continue..."
Under Qian Wangsun's guidance, Xiang Tiandi broke through the Tian Palace's array with precision, slipping through its nodes and gaps almost effortlessly, entering the innermost part of the Tian Palace.
Although Xiang Tiandi knew no array in the world was flawless, as an array operates, its weaknesses shift and change constantly with fluctuations in spiritual energy.
Such pinpoint guidance from Qian Wangsun for array breaches was something Xiang Tiandi had never heard of before.
Initially, Xiang Tiandi suspected Qian Wangsun had conspired with an immortal to intentionally leave cracks in the array.
But soon Xiang Tiandi realized Qian Wangsun could not only identify shifts in the array's weaknesses but also foresee and prevent mistakes he might make.
'Is it really because of Bai Ze's foreknowledge ability?' Xiang Tiandi wondered deeply, 'But could Bai Ze's ability be so powerful?'
Xiang Tiandi had met Bai Ze before, having lived during the same era as the previous Bai Ze and knowing his foreknowledge ability, but he never recalled Bai Ze being this powerful.
Simultaneously, in a room miles away, Qian Wangsun's eyes scanned the ringed screens before him, hundreds of Qian Wangsun projections appeared on these screens, all gazing at him with each pair of eyes reflecting a different future.
With Qian Wangsun leading him into the Tian Palace, Xiang Tiandi saw beams of silver light emerge, numerous nanotechnology cells recombined into the form of a mecha.
The mecha then split and swiftly attached itself to Xiang Tiandi.
Qian Wangsun said, "Continue doing as I say."
Xiang Tiandi followed Qian Wangsun's instructions, walking through the Tian Palace, transforming into the image of Tu Guishen as he crossed a corridor, even the mecha manipulated by Qian Wangsun turned into a Taoist robe.
Xiang Tiandi questioned, "Why the change into Tu Guishen? Can't we sneak through like before?"
Qian Wangsun replied, "I say, you do, don't do anything unnecessary."
Upon passing through an archway, Xiang Tiandi encountered three immortals approaching him, his heart clenched, Primordial Spirit power focused, but he heard Qian Wangsun say, "Do as I say..."
Xiang Tiandi retorted, "Aren't you afraid they'll spot a flaw?"
Qian Wangsun said, "Wait."
Qian Wangsun continued confidently, "I've checked, there's no flaw."
Xiang Tiandi: "..."
Simultaneously, the three immortals arrived in front of Xiang Tiandi, one of them being Wei He, disciple of Tian Xuan Immortal Venerable.
Before they could speak, Xiang Tiandi followed Qian Wangsun's instructions and said, "Wei He, Ming Yue asked you to go over."
Wei He's figure trembled with interest, "Is Ming Yue looking for me?"
Xiang Tiandi nodded and said, "Regarding the joint array formation you mentioned last time, she's agreed. Make sure to select some suitable arrays for her to check over."
A happy smile spread across Wei He's face, and he nodded to Tu Guishen and left.
After bypassing the three immortals, Xiang Tiandi nodded silently, "You've discerned well that out of courtesy immortals won't randomly probe each other with Primordial Spirit powers, while speaking first naturally dispels suspicion."
"Crucially, you anticipated things no outsiders should know aside from those involved."
Subsequently, Xiang Tiandi continued following Qian Wangsun's instructions, maneuvering through the inner Tian Palace in zigzags, occasionally assuming the appearance of different immortals, using simple dialogue to scatter over a dozen of them at various positions.
"Ling Xiu Fairy, Ming Yue asked you to find out about Wei He, best to hint for Wei He not to seek him, but don't explicitly say it..."
"Your master Dao An Immortal Venerable is going into seclusion soon, why don't you gather some Zhuguo from my medicine garden and present them to the Immortal Venerable."
Finally, Xiang Tiandi reached the exterior of a grand hall under Qian Wangsun's guidance and gazed at the black void in the center, muttering, "So this is the seal laid out by Dutian Great Spirit Officer using the palm kingdom technique."
Having transformed into Dutian Great Spirit Officer's appearance, Xiang Tiandi approached the two immortals guarding the seal, saying, "Yi Ri, Tian Xuan, is everything alright with the seal?"
Seeing both immortals shake their heads, Dutian Great Spirit Officer sighed, "Just recently Xiang Tiandi was spying on the Tian Palace outside again. I drove him away, but something still feels off, better check the seal thoroughly."
With that, Xiang Tiandi moved toward the seal, his hands shifting the Taoist gesture, as the palm kingdom began to contract and expand, commencing its operation.
This scene left the two immortals with no suspicion towards Dutian Great Spirit Officer, believing that as the one who personally set up the seal with the palm kingdom technique, only he knew how to unlock it.
Then Xiang Tiandi ordered, "You both may go restore your powers, I'll manage the seal from today onwards."
The immortals had grown accustomed to Dutian Great Spirit Officer's decisiveness, and being able to take time to regain their powers was a welcome opportunity, so they quickly exited the grand hall, leaving Xiang Tiandi disguised as Dutian Great Spirit Officer alone.
"For Qian Wangsun to know I've restored over 170% of my powers isn't unusual," Xiang Tiandi pondered in surprise, "But even if he can foresee, how did he foresee the method to unlock this technique?"
The nanotechnology cells in Xiang Tiandi's ear stirred with Qian Wangsun's voice, "I merely foresaw Zhou Bai breaching the Tian Palace and pinning Dutian Great Spirit Officer down to decipher the unlock method."
