Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 486 The Big Picture
The cave is entering the world, and the storm is rising again. How many thoughts and calculations are there, and how many undercurrents are surging.

Being at the center of the vortex, Xu Yang was enjoying a rare moment of leisure, as he was counting his gains while watching.

He gained a lot in this battle.

First came the captives, including the Garuda King and a golden-winged Roc, who were the three-tribulation gods.

In addition, there are a group of Garuda generals. Although there are not many of them, there are only a few of them, but their cultivation is basically between the seventh realm of fusion and the eighth realm of Mahayana. Together with the other Garuda people who are in the fourth and fifth realms and those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage and have become gods, they are all extremely valuable captives and rare and important laborers.

Xu Yang had already thought about how to deal with them. Garuda possessed the innate magical powers of the Phoenix bloodline and pure blue glazed fire, which gave him a considerable advantage in alchemy and weapon making.

He has placed King Weidenagarula into the Nine Dragons Earth Fire Furnace to improve the quality of the furnace. In the future, whether he is refining elixirs or making tools, he will be able to do so as if he has divine help. With the ability of his three-tribulation god, refining seventh-level objects is more than enough, and even eighth-level and top-quality immortal spirits are not difficult.

But the Wandao Academy is so big, and there are so many disciples refining weapons and elixirs, that one Nine Dragons Earth Fire Furnace obviously cannot meet the demand, so Xu Yang plans to put those Garuda generals into other furnaces. With their cultivation in the seventh and eighth realms, refining elixirs and making weapons will surely be very effective.

The remaining Garudas in the fourth and fifth realms do not have to be imprisoned in the furnace. They can be used as "fire-burning boys". After their labor education is completed and their sins are eliminated, they can also be enrolled in the school and transformed into their own power.

With the help of the Garuda clan, the Wandao Academy's alchemy business will surely go a step further, gain profits, improve strength, develop steadily, and become bigger and stronger...

All in all, the prospects are bright and limitless!
This is the value of the captives, not to mention the items gained.

As a secret realm of the cave, the Garuda clan, although at the bottom of the list, is also worth a lot of money.

Over the years, Xu Yang has governed the world, opened up tens of millions of blessed lands, and killed a number of cave-heaven Taoists like Bei Ming Long Teng. He has reaped a lot of rewards, otherwise he would not have been able to assemble such a top-grade fairy mecha as the Broken God of War.

But that's where it ends. Although the wealth of those cave-heaven Taoists is rich, it is also limited. Xu Yang could only accumulate a Broken God of War and the Jiuyi Xuanyuan forged with the power of the whole world. He was unable to refine other immortal artifacts such as the "Lidi Flame Flag".

It is different now. As the secret realm of the cave heaven, the wealth of the Garuda clan is far greater than those of the descendants of Taoism. Various high-level spiritual objects are enough for him to refine the Flame Flag and various immortal weapons in the earthly immortal world.

Although there are immortal weapons in this world, the immortal weapons in the earthly immortal world are obviously more advantageous. After all, they have matching magical powers. Unlike this world, Xu Yang has not yet obtained the fundamental methods of the major caves, immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons, so using their immortal weapons is somewhat laborious.

Therefore, in the next period of time, the fairy mechas of Wandao Academy will still have to use the fairy weapon cores from the earthly fairy world, until Xu Yang has mastered the fundamental methods of the major caves and can wield the fairy weapons of this world as if they were his own arms.

In addition to the materials for refining immortal artifacts such as the Flame Flag, there are also many ready-made spiritual objects in the Garuda Secret Realm, which can be consumed internally or placed in the academy treasury for people all over the world to compete and exchange.

As expected, a horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth. After digesting the gains from the Garuda Secret Realm, the strength of the Wandao Academy will at least be improved by a small step.

This is just the beginning. There will be more caves and more secret realms coming into the world, like mountains of gold waiting to be excavated.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have the ability to dig!

Xu Yang's strength is composed of two things: one is his own cultivation, and the other is the Wandao Academy.

Needless to say, the latter is still in the development stage. Excluding those descendants of the Cave Heaven who have different thoughts and cannot be trusted, the highest level of cultivation of the core disciples is only the Return to Void Stage. There is not a single one who has reached the Fusion Stage, let alone the Mahayana Stage.

Even if a Return to Void cultivator could control a mecha, he was only comparable to a combined body. Facing the secret realm of the cave controlled by the immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons, he could only help at most and could not become the main combat force, let alone share the burden with him.

Therefore, at present, the Wandao Academy still depends on him, the Taoist master, to work hard and build the empire himself.

Fortunately, as a Taoist master, he is very competitive!
For five hundred years, they practiced immortality and martial arts together and entered the eight realms and attained the great state of divine martial arts.

This speed of progress was somewhat exaggerated even from his current perspective.

You have to know that this body of his, like the previous body of Mengdie, has extremely poor aptitude and doesn't even have spiritual roots. His cultivation depends entirely on external plug-ins. Even so, he can still practice both immortality and martial arts within five hundred years and enter the eighth realm together.

This is really unbelievable.

In comparison, the strongest of the cave-heaven descendants with Taoist bodies and immortal fetuses, with the support of their master and the merit of slaying demons, can only reach the stage of fusion.

Comparing the two, the gap is obvious!
Needless to say, this is the treatment of the "Lord of Disaster". Even if he invested all the merits he gained into Xuanyuan, his cultivation still improved by leaps and bounds, far ahead of others.

But this is not enough!

As the Lord of All Daos, relying on the creation of nature, he can fight against the Nine Tribulations Immortals with his Mahayana body. If he sets up the Nine-Ritual Sword Formation, he can even defeat the Nine Tribulations True Immortals like the Dongsheng Heavenly Court and the North Pole Emperor.

But it was just a retreat.

His current limit of combat power is to defeat a Nine Tribulations True Immortal, but he is simply unable to kill him. On the contrary, if a Nine Tribulations True Immortal were to fight him to the death at all costs, he would still be at risk of being defeated or even killed.

There is no way. The difference between immortals and mortals, the gap in realm is there. Although the creation of nature and the characteristics of skills are powerful, they cannot completely fill the gap. Now he is unable to kill a true immortal.

But this world is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Not to mention the mysterious celestial immortals and earthly immortals, there are tens of thousands of Nine Tribulations True Immortals, and an unknown number of Tribulations Immortals, forming many divine groups.

Although Xu Yang is in control of the situation now, he still feels a lot of pressure facing these divine groups.

Anyone who can become an immortal or god is not a simple person. The reason they are being devoured by him now is just because of the situation and the result of temporary tolerance. Once the situation changes or the time is ripe, they will decisively return to the mortal world.

At that time, it will be a matter of revenge if there is revenge, and complaint if there is complaint.

What to do?

The only way is to cheat!
As long as one advances into the realm of calamity and achieves true immortality, these difficulties, if not completely resolved, can be mostly eliminated.

How to enter the realm of tribulation? Currently, one can only rely on merit.

Xuanyuan has been completed, and the Nine Instruments are about to appear. The focus of merit can be shifted to improving one's cultivation.

With the power of merit, within a thousand years, he should be able to break through to the Mahayana stage and achieve the status of a Tribulation Immortal. He should be able to maintain his "invincible" status before the fairyland and Buddhist kingdom are opened and the earthly and celestial immortals return.

I just don't know if they will give him this time?
……

The world is in turmoil and undercurrents are surging in all directions.

Another secret cave and another golden palace.

"Weide, this idiot, was actually enslaved by the Xuanmen Immortal. He not only brought shame to our Garuda, but also damaged the dignity of the Lord. He deserves to be put to death, he deserves to be put to death!"

On the throne, angry words like thunder were heard. He was a god with an eagle's head and a human body, very similar to Weide before.

It is the Garuda King - Daman!
The Garuda clan has four great kings, namely Wei De, Da Shen, Da Man and Ru Yi.

Among the four kings, Wei De is the youngest and the weakest, and is only a three-tribulation god.

And now, the cultivation of this Great Garuda King has reached the level of six tribulations, second only to Ruyi, the leader of the four great kings.

This six-tribulation god had a rage on his face, and he denounced Wei De's actions on the throne, causing a Garuda with five-wheel cultivation in his prince's house to fall to the ground, trembling and not daring to speak.

"Humph!"

After venting his anger, he snorted coldly and looked at the Garuda under His Highness: "This concerns the reputation of our Garuda clan. As the eldest among the Garuda kings, shouldn't Ruyi come forward to wash away this shame?"

"Return to King Daman!"

Nagaruda lay prone on the ground with his forehead close to the ground, and spoke respectfully: "King Ruyi is practicing hard, but he also knows about the affairs of the mortal world, so he asked me to come and convey his words. Please don't act rashly with King Dashen. The power of those Xuanmen immortals is too strong, and only true gods can match them."

"Humph!"

Hearing the messenger's words, Daman snorted coldly, but did not refute.

Among the four Garuda kings, "Ruyi King" is the oldest, has the highest cultivation, and is the strongest. He is a seven-tribulation god. Following him comes the six-tribulation King Daman, the four-tribulation King Dashen, and the three-tribulation King Wei De.

As a seven-tribulation god, Ruyi is extremely powerful, but he also has many concerns. Let's not talk about anything else, just take this heavenly tribulation of entering the world. Daman thinks he has only 60% chance of surviving it. Ruyi is stronger than him, and his tribulation is more severe than his. He is afraid that there is only a 50% chance of surviving this heavenly tribulation.

It's a 50% chance, or half and half, and the risks involved are self-evident.

Therefore, Ruyi has been practicing hard to prepare for the heavenly calamity.

Now that this has happened, as the oldest Garuda King, he should step forward.

But some things, the more they seem to be natural, the harder they are to do.

It seems that now, Ruyi doesn't want to stand out, because the risk of standing out is too great.

Don't say you are short-sighted and ignore the overall situation. Sometimes having a long-term vision is not a good thing.

Because a long-term vision will conflict with current interests and one's own safety.

Who doesn't know that Wandao Academy is growing bigger and bigger?

Who doesn't know that those three are devouring the various caves?

But what does it matter if I know? You want me to overcome the calamity and fight for life and death with those three people for the sake of long-term development and the safety of the overall situation?
Who do you think you are, Lord Vishnu?
We are all Garuda Kings. Although our cultivation levels and strengths vary, our status are equal. You can't control me and I can't control you. Why should I take risks, risk my life, and be the one who "considers the overall situation"?
Besides, judging from the strength displayed by those three people, even these Tribulation Realm gods might not be able to defeat them.

and so……

"Ruyi is indeed very wise. This matter has been settled. Go and tell Da Shen to adapt to the situation and not become another Weide. I also need to practice hard, so please leave."

Daman spoke calmly and determined the result.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the messenger did not dare to say much. He agreed and left the Golden Palace.

The Wandao Academy wanted to force Jie Dongtian to break free. The Dashen King, who had reached the fourth level of calamity cultivation, also received the ultimatum from those three people. He was in danger and didn't know what to do.

Ruyi was unmoved by this, and Daman could do nothing to help him. He could only ask him to be cautious and act according to circumstances.

The three Lords are sleeping in Mahadeva, and no one knows when they will wake up. They are not under the command of each other and are fighting on their own, so no one can help them.

We can only hope that there is some true God who can look further ahead, consider the overall situation, and step forward to take charge of the situation. They can't do that.
