Chapter 27: LONG TAO’S GRAND PLAN

After Long Tao started training, he got to know how difficult cultivation was. The resources consumed by the avatars were enormous and will become more and more in the future.

He required a lot of sources and a vast depository. Fortunately, he had the Crimson Lord realm. He started the venture by killing a large number of beasts. But only killing the monsters won’t be able to finance the whole thing. He needed another way.

The Keeper saw this contemplation and said,” You don’t need to worry about the re-establishment of the force. The resources can be collected once you are powerful enough.”

“Is there a path which the ancient crimson lords followed.”

“Only when you have enough strength can you have absolute control over everything. You would be easily able to collect the resources required for your use.”

..............................................................

Looking sympathetically towards the figure, Long Tao said, “No doubt the race was wiped out. I pity you”.

.....

The figure gave Long Tao a stern look. It was the first time he had felt anger by Long Tao’s action.

“Oh! Are you angry now? Narrow-minded beings who don’t even have a tinge of foresight. No doubt, the lords before me all died without even being invincible in the World.”

“I am not blaming then for it now. After all, they didn’t have the capability of forming nine avatars when they started training. But I do. And I am going to make the perfect use of it.”

....................................................................

Long Tao soon proceeded towards the city. He asked for items that could help mask his cultivation level. Hoods of different types and masks were present within the manor.

They could help mask the cultivation level. He took out seven sets of things and called out seven of his avatars.

He asked them to wear this and programmed it to show different cultivation levels, soul power as well as different faces.

Long Tao asked them to move out, and search for all the information they could gather on the gathering, the sects, the royal family, and the participants.

He had paid out a considerable sum of money to gather all the information on all information agencies in the Royal city.

..........................................................................

In the crimson World-

” You want to take part in the competition and become the disciple of a sect. I guess you want multiple avatars of you to become a member of a sect so that you could gather more amount t of resources through them.”

It was a great idea. He would be able to gather resources for himself and the force.

The day of the event soon appeared. Long Tao proceeded towards the location of the gathering.

................................................................

The arena-

Long Tao could see his fellow clan members. His father and sister were among them.

For a moment, a sudden spark of desire to meet them occurred. But it was soon extinguished. The memory of being left was fresh in his mind. The clan didn’t deserve his presence.

Long Tao decided to concentrate on the gathering. If the plan was successful, he would be able to achieve the objective he came here for.

..................................................................................

” The girl is interesting,” the Keeper’s voice sounded.

Long Tao was surprised by this analysis by the figure,” Why do you say so.”

“Well, considering the girl’s possession of treasures like you, she is not something your clan can nurture.”

Long Tao was surprised by this too. Mengchen had such a secret.

” Also, looking at her age, her talent and origin are much better than you.”

“What do you mean by that? What is her real cultivation level?” Long Tao enquired.

It will be no fun if I tell you about it. Why don’t you find out by yourself? Also, The girl is protected by someone. The man in the shadows is quite powerful.”

................................................

The fight continued, and Long Tao proceeded with the flow. He decided to show varied talent and cultivation levels for all his avatars. He also made sure each one of the avatars showed a different kind of personalities.

........................................................

The next round started, and as he appears in the test, he was surprised by the change. For him, the heart demon was the pity and disgust other people showed him, and the sense of powerlessness he felt when he tried to confront any of them.

All seven figures were going through the same trauma. He had suffered so much in his life just because of some petty rivalry between two clans. But even after all the facts were aligned, he still decided to stay in this place and train, steadily rise in both cultivation and power. ..............................................................................

His determination managed to push him through the test of heart. Then came the test of will. Long Tao expected it to be harder than the previous one. But to his surprise, it was just pain.

The only thing that he felt was pain, which was gradually increasing. He was practicing a cultivation method that based its whole thesis on pain, destruction, restructuring. How could this insignificant amount of pain take any toll on him?

................................................................

After the test ended, he instructed all the figures except one to go into the Crimson world realm. As expected, many had started to track his movement and pried on his origins.

The next day soon arrived and marked the beginning of the third round. The Keeper informed him about the talent and cultivation levels of the opponents. He easily defeated them while holding back his strength.

The fa?ade of humbleness was continued until Bai Zheng stepped out. Long Tao remembered what his opponent’s family had done to his life, and his first instinct was to crush this opponent. But he held himself back.

He knew this was not the time to act on his revenge. Hence, he finished the fight with a single massive blow.

.....................................................

Long Dangtian’s case was different. His ability to adapt and improve astonished Long Tao. But what shocked him was what the voice told him afterward.

” Your clan is a fortunate boy. It has someone with a natural body. The boy has an innate battle body type. Such type of individual is crazed to battle and never miss an opportunity to fight.”

“If possible, you should consider him as a potential future subordinate. He can prove to be of great worth.”

It was that reason why Long Tao battled for a long time with Long Dangtian, controlling his strength. Only after he saw some improvements in his body did he finally take the initiative to defeat

................................................................

The same case scenario happened with the prince too. He had some sort of bloodline which was currently dormant.

“The bloodline in that brat’s body is also dormant. It is also in a sleep mode. We can’t know for sure how many times he would manage to wake and evolve his bloodline.”

The battle occurred, and Long tao defeated him too.

................................................................

Finally, after the competition, Long Tao again entered the Crimson lord Realm and started analyzing the information gathered.

“Which sect have you decide upon to join. From my conjecture, the star emperor academy had the richest history and the most power. So it is the best choice.”

” Do you know what my current aim is, besides the improvement of cultivation. It is to gain full control over the World.”

“This will be the first stepping stone towards my real aim for the World. And it has to start with the conquer and control of Jiao country. Do you think the star emperor academy would be enough to satisfy my appetite?”

“What do you want to do then?” The Keeper was anxious to know his objective.

Long Tao sighed on hearing this. He smiled at the sky and said, “I will infiltrate all the forces.”
