Chapter 990: Guaranteed Not to Let Him Act Recklessly

Meanwhile. Yuan Realm.

Hearing the entire process of this incident from Shui Yunshan, even though Wu Miaozhen had experienced countless trials and tribulations, she still couldn't help but be shocked, her expression full of disbelief.

She had indeed learned from intelligence reports that the Immortal Court was holding an enthronement ceremony. After the ceremony, Immortal Lord Tai Hao would take a step further and legitimately become the Lord of the Immortal Court, Haotian Immortal Emperor.

But she never expected that the so-called new Immortal Emperor was actually impersonated by someone…

"You mean… not only did you impersonate Tai Hao to ascend as the new Immortal Emperor and sweep clean all the treasures stored in the Immortal Emperors Treasury… but all of this was done right under the nose of the real Tai Hao?"

When she asked this question, even Wu Miaozhen couldn't help but gasp, feeling a sense of incredulity.

"Correct."

Without waiting for Shui Yunshan to answer, Qi Yuan calmly took out the three spoils of war he had just obtained from his storage space, displayed them before Wu Miaozhen, and said:

"These are the three Creation-level Immortal Artifacts left behind by Immortal Emperor Donghua: the Execution Platform, the heavenly emperor sword, and a Chaos Bell…"

Gazing at the three peerless treasures exuding the aura of the great dao, Wu Miaozhen's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she instantly realized the severity of the situation.

After a brief shock, she took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the churning emotions in her heart, and said with a complex tone:

"What you did was too risky. If even the slightest mistake had occurred, it would have been a situation of ten deaths and no life. If you had told me about this plan in advance, I would never have agreed!"

Although Wu Miaozhen's expression carried a hint of lingering fear, there wasn't much blame in her words; instead, there was more profound emotion.

Because she knew very well that the reason these two companions had taken such a huge risk for this gamble was ultimately to increase their own camp's ability to protect itself.

After all, if the enthroned Immortal Emperor Tai Hao were to master these three supreme treasures, his strength would surely increase greatly. When facing a full-scale attack from the Immortal Court, she, the Lord of the Yuan Realm, might not be able to stop it.

In many cases, weakening the enemy is equivalent to strengthening oneself. Now that Tai Hao had lost these crutches, the pressure faced by the Yuan Realm would also be greatly alleviated…

On the other side, Shui Yunshan glanced at Qi Yuan not far away with admiration, then said with an excited face:

"Sister, I knew you wouldn't agree, so I ran to ask this kid for help. I didn't expect him to actually pull it off. Not only did he perfectly achieve the plan's goal, but he also spun Xuanyuan Hao around in circles. He's much better than that guy Yuan Wu!"

Wu Miaozhen shook her head helplessly, but her gaze toward him quickly softened, and she sighed with an inexplicable tone:

"You've worked hard for this matter. I didn't expect that after so many years, you are still as reckless as before…"

Then, her expression suddenly became stern, and she said seriously:

"However, since Tai Hao's side has suffered such a big loss, they will never let it go easily and will definitely spare no cost to deal with the Yuan Realm."

"To prevent sudden attacks from the enemy, from now on, I will completely seal the Yuan Realm and concentrate all my strength to step up preparations for war!"

Having said this, Wu Miaozhen paused slightly and sincerely suggested to Qi Yuan:

"It is best if you stay here too. It won't be too late to leave after the situation outside calms down a bit."

Qi Yuan knew that the other party had good intentions, but he still shook his head firmly and said with a smile:

"Compared to hiding behind my own woman acting like a coward, I prefer to take the initiative and bring more surprises to the enemy."

After speaking, he gave Wu Miaozhen a reassuring look and guaranteed with full confidence:

"Don't worry, I have no interest in things that ask for trouble. As long as I don't jump out to court death, even if Tai Hao has heaven-reaching abilities, he won't be able to do anything to me."

In fact, he wasn't boasting, but rather had confidence in his heart.

This time, while impersonating Tai Hao, Qi Yuan wore a mask from beginning to end and never revealed his true face in front of outsiders.

Moreover, he was using the alias of a newly ascended Immortal [Qi Da], and with the help of his little brother Ji Fan, it would be difficult to discover his background unless he did something stupid himself.

More importantly, Qi Yuan knew very well that Tai Hao's true ambition was to find an opportunity to devour the great dao divine tree located in the Great Void, thereby replacing the Heavenly Dao and becoming the true Dominator of this space-time.

In other words, before achieving this ultimate goal, Tai Hao would not only refrain from destroying the world but would instead try his best to restrain the Chaos Demon Gods, allowing the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms to maintain a relative balance.

After all, once the tribulation descends, the Heavenly Dao will activate the mode of clearing all things, and the great dao divine tree, possessing a certain level of intelligence, will seal itself completely at the first opportunity to avoid being affected by the tribulation qi.

If one waits until the tribulation ends, the Heavenly Dao, having destroyed most of the [parasites], will return to an incomparably strong state.

This means that Tai Hao's plan to control the Heavenly Dao will completely go bankrupt, and he can only be reduced to an employee like Immortal Emperor Donghua.

Therefore, at least under the current situation, Tai Hao is absolutely unwilling to startle the snake and let his subordinates, that group of Chaos Demon Gods, carry out indiscriminate slaughter of living beings in the world.

The three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, as part of the negative will of the Heavenly Dao, are also nutrients for growth pre-ordered by Tai Hao. Perhaps they have already been almost devoured by now, otherwise, it is unlikely that Tai Hao could have ascended to the Creation Realm so easily.

The remaining Chaos Demon Gods, except for the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus, a weirdo who was tricked into actively washing away its Devilish Qi, are most likely just a group of trusted confidants loyal to Tai Hao.

Of course, given Tai Hao's greed, when the time is ripe, these confidants are also destined to be dealt with one by one and turned into pure great dao energy…

As long as he figures this out, Qi Yuan knows that time is tight and he must do something before Tai Hao succeeds; otherwise, once the other party replaces the Heavenly Dao, then everything will be over.

Even if he is confident, he does not think he has the ability to resist the power of the Heavenly Dao.

When that time really comes, Tai Hao, who controls supreme power, only needs a thought to make any living being have nowhere to hide. Not only will Qi Yuan himself be in big trouble, but even his relatives and friends around him will not be able to escape disaster.

On the other side, seeing that Qi Yuan's attitude was firm, Wu Miaozhen did not persuade him further, but solemnly reminded him:

"Since you insist, then take these three treasures with you. I Cultivate the Incense Divine Dao and have no way to drive these Immortal Artifacts."

"And… never think that you can confront Tai Hao head-on just by relying on these three Immortal Court supreme treasures. Without the blessing of the Immortal Court's Luck, no one can unleash the true power of these three things…"

Speaking of this, Wu Miaozhen sighed softly and added:

"You must remember, as the only Cultivator in the Creation Realm between heaven and earth, Tai Hao is an invincible existence in terms of cultivation and strength. Under any circumstances, do not fight him head-on!"

Hearing this, Qi Yuan nodded seriously, his tone also becoming serious:

"I will not act recklessly."

On the side, Shui Yunshan couldn't help curling her lips and suggested in a low voice:

"Since sister is so worried, why not let me follow this kid? I guarantee I won't let him act recklessly…"

Before she could finish speaking, Wu Miaozhen glared at her with a look of reproach and scolded her unceremoniously:

"You still have the nerve to say that. When it comes to being reckless, you two are exactly the same. This matter of impersonating Tai Hao was your idea. If I let you follow him again, who knows what kind of trouble you will cause…"
