566 It Seems There Is No Other Choice Than to Sever the Master and Disciple Relationship (1/2)
Three days later.
The plan to nail the unscrupulous Master into the wall using his Piercing Dead Brier Spear was not able to be put into practice. After all, the gap between a genius Jindan cultivator and the number one Jindan in Nine Regions was too big. It would take Wang Lu at least twenty to thirty years of cultivation before he could officially overthrow his Master's ghostly reign.
After thinking to this point, Wang Lu regretted that when he was Ouyang Shang, he was so generous to leave all his legacy to Wang Wu that one hundred and fifty years later, this woman was out of control.
However, from another point of view, this was not a bad thing. With Wang Wu, this thing near him, she undoubtedly became a reminder and motivation for him to cultivate hard all the time so that he could nail her on the wall as soon as possible. As a mean to stimulate his cultivation, it was good.
In addition, Wang Wu's entrapment plan smoothly progressed. After three days, all the Harmonious Heaven and Open Heaven rank nuns on the plan list had been completely collected and become the slaves that fell down under Sister Wu's skirt.
Among them, two powerful Harmonious Heaven nuns were captured by Wang Wu herself. One of which was accompanied by Wang Lu, who witnessed how the number one Jindan in Nine Regions, in just three breaths, overwhelmingly crushed a nun whose power was equivalent to middle-level Deity Stage, and then captured her and trained her. The whole scene was very satisfying.
Without any fancy, superfluous move, an all-out counter-attack through Non-Phase Method stunned the opponent, completely ignoring the huge difference between Jindan and Deity Stage. When the Harmonious Heaven rank nun fell down from the sky, it was very hard for Wang Lu to understand how could he and Wang Wu cultivate the same cultivation method.
Of course, what was more pleasing was that, Wang Wu had chosen the wilderness as the battlefield. Although no one came and went, it could be regarded as under the full light of day. And unexpectedly, from the start to finish of the battle, no one was alarmed at all.
The Heavenly Earth was a place of stable social structure, and the Temple of Heaven controlled the whole world. A minor fight could be ignored, but if it was an intense fight, there was no reason for Temple of Heaven not to discover it. As for the Deity Stage level fight, let alone fighting with people, in theory, even their every move should be included in the scope of monitoring.
After years of development and improvement, the well-designed monitoring network of Temple of Heaven was filled with loopholes under the effort of the vassal lords, so much that they could not detect when their own ascetic nun was being dealt with by other people, which was simply amazing.
Of course, one of the most important reasons for this was the cost consideration for the monitoring network which focused on the after the fact reconnaissance. Only when someone reported it and confirmed the accident would a large number of resources be put into the incident investigation. Therefore, everytime Wang Wu hunted down a target, she would immediately conquer the target's mind with Telepathic Finger. Thus, no one would report the situation, and naturally, the Temple of Heaven would not be alarmed.

”At present, the resources have been basically integrated. Plus Moonless, we have four Harmonious Heaven rank, and fifteen Open Heaven rank in our camp. Compared with the whole Temple of Heaven organization, it is insignificant, but our competitors are not this huge organization, but the seven Supreme rank top management of Temple of Heaven. Among those seven people, even the one with the biggest influence only have about ten Harmonious Heaven rank nuns, and the relationship is more based on converging political consideration and interest, meaning the loyalty to each other is very limited. It is quite different from the nuns who have been trained by Telepathic Finger. So now, even as an independent force, theoretically, we have the power to muddy the water in the successive events.”
In the secret home base, Wang Wu seriously analyzed the current situation for everyone with her rarely shown serious posture.
”Of course, it's not enough just to muddy the water, so the next step is this: I'm going to capture one of the Supreme rank candidates so that we would be able to achieve an overwhelming advantage in the next events by combining the two forces. If we do it well, we can even reach to the top in one fell swoop.”
”Reach to the top in one fell swoop? How could it be so easy?” Wang Lu asked.
”Of course it would not be easy.”
As a bureaucrat-managed religious institution, the social class barrier within the Temple of Heaven is getting stricter day by day. If a grassroots nun wants to go all the way to the top rank leadership, she had to go through a long journey. Exceptional promotion only happened in a few cases. Even in the special period of the invasion from the chaotic world and war, the election of the highest leader of the Temple of Heaven was done in an extremely cautious manner. For Wang Wu to support a puppet leader, it was still somewhat probable—although she had to face great difficulties, but to personally go into battle and reach the top level openly was simply too difficult.
A stranger who had no foundation in Heavenly Earth wanting to become the leader of the Temple of Heaven in one night? Where would the thousands upon thousands of nuns of Temple of Heaven be put? However, since it was a religious organization, there was always a shortcut to the highest level.
”Ask the Heaven.”
Wang Wu whispered her answer.
”Ask the Heaven?”
”The so-called ask the Heaven is the mean by which the Temple of Heaven submit to Heaven for decision when it encounters a very serious problem that can't be resolved by normal procedures.”
Hearing this, Wang Lu frowned. ”Submit to Heaven's decision? Is it like a game of asking Bunshinsaba1 for opinion?”
”... You can consider it that way.”
