671 Going out for a Meeting Tomorrow, Requesting Leave of Absence in Advance (1/2)
”Definitely win?”
Hearing the words of the man in black, the Food Immortal Bai Lingpo didn't quite understand.
Not to mention Wang Wu, the two barbarian women and the witch doctor, any of them was the top figures of the outer path, their strength could not be judged with their power level in normal immortal cultivation path. If the Earth Immortals could go all out, naturally, they didn't need to be afraid. However, if confined to Jindan Stage level… let alone Earth Immortals, even if True Immortals descended down to earth, they were by no means their opponent.
Or could it be that the man in black, who had created many miracles, was ready to make his move himself? But in that case, it would mean that the Earth Immortal side would overpower the other party, which seemed quite different from what he wanted to express.
Toward this, the man in black simply explained, ”Those several outside path cultivators won by using unexpected winning moves, but they only have one specialty. If we slightly counter that, we would prevail over them. For example, against that barbarian woman, as long we use the void body, regardless of how strong her physical strength is, what could she do about it? Remember, outside path cultivator is by no means invincible. Except for Wang Wu, we don't need to worry about the rest.”
After a moment of hesitation, the man in black continued, ”... However, Wang Lu should be clear about this point, so he has no reason to walk into a trap.”
Xuan Mo said, ”But if he doesn't send out these outside path cultivators, he basically has no other people to use! Or does he want to send those who are training in Royal Soldier Sect?”
The man in black shook his head. ”They're not able to catch up. After several months of training, they're still far from being on par. Even if they use medicinal drugs to burst out their power for a while, it's still not enough. They would need at least another two months if they really want to go to battle. Which means that Wang Lu shouldn't send out the challenge letter so early.”
Xuan Mo said, ”But in two months time, the five consecutive wins that he painstakingly built would become worthless.”
”Yes, Wang Lu really doesn't have a way to continue the winning streak. The huge gap between our two sides in strength is not easy to wipe out… Biechen, what do you think?”
Lu Biechen, who was known as the Calculation Immortal, said, ”Someone from the other side has blocked the mystery known only to heaven, so I can't calculate the future for you guys. But, if I push my calculation, we should have at least eighty percent chance to win this challenge, I don't see any pitfalls in it.”
The man in black closed his eyes and meditated, and then slowly said, ”Heaven asks for Firmament while Earth asks for Nine Regions… It is reasonable to say that we, Earth Immortals, are the darling of the Nine Regions continent, and thus the results of our calculation should not be mistaken. However, relying on being the darling as well as pride is the way to defeat. Let alone the darlings of the Nine Regions are not only us. If I remember correctly, since fifty years ago, there has been an endless stream of geniuses in Nine Regions.”
Lu Biechen said, ”I have also calculated this point, so I have deduced the winning chance again.”
”And the result is?”
”We will win.” Lu Biechen categorically said, ”We will certainly win.”

At the same time, in the Immortal Four Area, above the white clouds, there was a towering palace that overlooked all living beings, and inside its hall, two cultivators were sitting on both sides of a slightly unique chessboard. They were concentrating on the change on the chessboard while talking quietly from time to time.
”Fellow Daoist Tian Lun, Wang Lu, this chess piece, could you see any positive result out of it?”
”Fellow Daoist He Tu, you're joking, right? No one could completely see Wang Lu's chess piece. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many people that fall head first in his hand.”
With that, Supreme Tian Lun moved the piece on the chessboard, which caused Daoist He Tu to slightly frown.
”Even you can't see through it, Wang Lu's chess piece is really intriguing…” After a moment of meditation, He Tu asked again, ”Couldn't he be counted through the worldly affairs?”
Supreme Tian Lun shook his head. ”Calculating the worldly affairs is for all the living beings, but cultivators go away from the worldly affairs to be near the immortal path. Let alone Wang Lu is one of the chosen ones. Like Qiong Hua from your sect, Ten Thousand Arts Sect's Zhan Ziye… these people are already beyond the worldly affairs.”
Daoist He Tu moved a chess piece. ”Everything under the heaven is counted as worldly affairs. No one could really jump out of this cage before they fly to immortality. If Fellow Daoist Tian Lun were to regard the worldly affairs calculation was still in its infancy, then your words just now would've been more convincing. But now, it sounds a bit evasive.”
Upon hearing this, Supreme Tian Lun laughed but also reached out to the chessboard. ”Sure enough, one really can't hide from Fellow Daoist He Tu. It is true that after the completion of the worldly affairs calculation, even the cultivators could be calculated. Let alone the younger generation like Qiong Hua and Zhan Ziye, I could even calculate the fate of a Supreme level cultivator. Although it's hazy, I could still have a limited view. For this point, I have to ask Fellow Daoist to keep it a secret, otherwise, I'm afraid it would cause unnecessary misunderstanding. Besides… from the beginning to the end, I still can't see through Wang Lu, as if he's not from this world from the beginning.”
Daoist He Tu kept his silence for a long time. ”... It's not necessarily bad.”
”Oh? Fellow Daoist He Tu has great faith in Wang Lu.”
”Even those from Spirit Sword Sect believe in him, why should I question him out of nothing? If it doesn't belong to heaven and earth, then it doesn't need to be restricted by heaven and earth. It's just that this time, Wang Lu seems to have taken a great risk.”
Supreme Tian Lun said, ”The greater the risk, the greater the reward. That's what Wang Lu always believe in. Not to mention that this time, Wang Lu put on all his gambling chips on the gambling table. We have no reason to stop him.”
Upon saying that, Supreme Tian Lun moved his chess piece again and Daoist He Tu apparently fell into an extremely disadvantageous situation. His two long eyebrows were almost connected to each other.
”Because he kept all his chips hidden, I, instead, hesitated… If he's worried that by putting forward such a lineup he wouldn't be trusted, that's not really necessary. This is a matter of great importance to the entire Nine Regions. There's no reason for any sect to walk alone. If he needs support from other sects, we should spare no effort. There's no reason for Spirit Sword Sect to take such a big risk.”
Supreme Tian Lun said with a smile, ”Fellow Daoist worry too much. Right now, even ordinary people in the City of Immortals know that Wang Lu is the 'adopted son' of Supreme He Tu and thus could do whatever he wants.”
