Chapter 109: Bai Moyu's grand scheme!
Bai Moyu saw Bai Ruoxue's defiant expression, paused for a moment, and continued, "Has the Nine Mystic Realm been invaded by the Immortal Clan? That formation was set up by our Celestial Verdant Sect, and I personally arranged it!"
Bai Ruoxue, clearly still unconvinced, was no longer the Bai Ruoxue of the Seventh Layer of Tribulation.
She had many hidden memories.
That's right, Bai Ruoxue's memories had actually been sealed all along, and it was Bai Moyu who personally sealed them.
And Bai Ruoxue was here now because you had previously asked her how she left the Eastern Regions, causing her to act abnormally. Bai Moyu wanted to restore her memories and then reseal them.
Seeing Bai Ruoxue's expression, Bai Moyu smiled and continued, "Didn't Mo Jingtian and Lu Wuya cultivate our Celestial Verdant Sect's techniques to embark on the path of cultivation?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoxue angrily retorted, "But those techniques weren't taught by you; they obtained the manuals left by our senior brother."
Hearing Bai Ruoxue mention his beloved disciple, Bai Moyu's expression showed a trace of sadness.
He murmured, "Ah, if only your senior brother had listened to me back then, he wouldn't have met such a fate."
After saying this, Bai Moyu told Bai Ruoxue once again not to go southward to find her senior brother.But Bai Ruoxue ignored him and instead questioned why Bai Moyu had deceived you.
In the end, Bai Moyu sighed and said to Bai Ruoxue, "Should I tell him that the great powers of the Nine Mystic Realm have already betrayed us and are conspiring with the great powers of the Immortal Realm to seize the fragments of the Heavenly Dao?"
Looking at Bai Ruoxue, Bai Moyu said he sensed several fragments of the Heavenly Dao in you, suggesting that you might be the chosen one.
Only by giving you hope could you continue to strive, perhaps leaving a sliver of hope for the Nine Mystic Realm.
Otherwise, revealing such despairing truths would only crush your spirit and destroy any remaining hope.
As soon as Bai Moyu finished speaking, Bai Ruoxue's face lit up with joy.
She looked at Bai Moyu and said, "Father, are you finally going to take action?"
But Bai Moyu shook his head, saying, "Let's see how things go."
This caused Bai Ruoxue's newly formed smile to fade once again.
She shouted, "Father, you are also a great power of the Nine Mystic Realm! Only you have the chance to change the situation now. The people in other parts of the Nine Mystic Realm are waiting for you!"
Tears streamed down Bai Ruoxue's face as she choked out, "Father, you've been hiding with us survivors, isolating your cultivation to avoid exposure, but how long can we live by hiding like this?"
Hearing this, Bai Moyu gave a bitter smile and offered no further explanation.
Instead, with a wave of his hand, he stripped Bai Ruoxue of her memories and cultivation. This time, he even completely sealed the coordinates of the Southern Regions in her mind.
To prevent Bai Ruoxue from heading southward again.
After finishing everything, he looked at the unconscious Bai Ruoxue and murmured, "What else can I do? A single tree cannot support a forest."
At this moment, Bai Moyu thought of you and suddenly smiled, "How much of my poor lie did you see through? But it doesn't matter. Even if you don't believe any of it, so what?"
"Even if you see me as an enemy, you should still strive to cultivate! Hahaha..."
After a long while, his laughter gradually stopped, and Bai Moyu finally sighed, "I just hope that you, chosen by multiple fragments of the Heavenly Dao, can make it through!"
"If you can't even avoid the deadly schemes of the great powers, how can you change the overall situation of the Nine Mystic Realm?"
In reality, Jiang Yifeng's eyes widened like saucers.
He couldn't believe the twist had come so quickly.
Bai Moyu wasn't a bad person!
He had deceived him to prevent him from feeling despair over the Nine Mystic Realm's situation!
As for Bai Moyu throwing his simulated self back to the Southern Regions, putting him in danger, Jiang Yifeng thought of a possibility based on the simulator's display.
Poison Cultivation, damn it, Bai Moyu was treating him like a poison being cultivated.
So, Bai Moyu hadn't lied.
But, damn it, it wasn't someone else cultivating the poison; it was Bai Moyu himself!
He wasn't even worried about being seen as an enemy because being seen as an enemy would still require him to cultivate desperately.
Jiang Yifeng could already imagine what would happen next.
If he really survived the deadly schemes of the great powers, by then, even knowing the truth, he would be a lone tree unable to support the forest and would definitely seek Bai Moyu's help, leaving only gratitude for him.
And if he didn't make it through, Bai Moyu wouldn't lose anything; he could just continue hiding.
So, Bai Moyu was never afraid of being suspected. Everything he did was an open strategy.
All he had to do was throw Jiang Yifeng back to the Southern Regions to cultivate the poison.
This also reasonably explained Bai Moyu's seemingly irrational actions before.
Besides these thoughts, Jiang Yifeng had another idea.
Why did this simulation show events outside of his perspective this time?
In previous simulations, it was always from his first-person perspective, showing the plot only when he was present.
But this time, even though his simulated self had returned to the Southern Regions, the simulator kept showing events related to Bai Moyu.
Jiang Yifeng thought this might be the simulator deliberately wanting him to know this information.
Could the simulator really be the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Mystic Realm?
It knew Bai Moyu was a great power who hadn't betrayed the Nine Mystic Realm and wanted him to know this.
Then, it wanted him to recruit Bai Moyu to join the fight and save the Nine Mystic Realm?
Is that it?
But Jiang Yifeng felt something was off.
If the simulator was really the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Mystic Realm, wouldn't that be too lowly?
And if the great powers' battles could shatter the Heavenly Dao, could the simulator, if it were the Heavenly Dao, avoid the great powers' detection?
Moreover, from the simulation, Bai Moyu mentioned multiple fragments of the Heavenly Dao, not the simulator.
In the end, Jiang Yifeng thought the possibility of the simulator being the Heavenly Dao was there, but it was extremely slim.
Regardless, Jiang Yifeng knew Bai Moyu was definitely an important figure, not just because of his great power's cultivation.
But because the simulator had specifically shown a segment about Bai Moyu.
Jiang Yifeng silently remembered the name Bai Moyu.
Then, he continued to look at the simulator.
[You have been thrown back to the Southern Regions by Bai Moyu for two days.]
[During this time, you have been lingering near the formation's crack.]
[You still think about leaving the Southern Regions through this crack and returning to the Eastern Regions to continue hiding and growing stronger.]
[So much time has passed, you think Bai Moyu should have left by now. You approach the crack in the formation.]
[At this moment, a Mystic Turtle appeared from the Endless Sea.]
[It spoke human words, shouting at you, "If you don't want to die, stay away!"]
[You were startled by the sudden appearance of the Mystic Turtle.]
[But you didn't fully trust the Mystic Turtle's words.]
[After all, if this sealing formation was really set up by the Celestial Verdant Sect to protect the Southern Regions, it shouldn't have a formation spirit that attacks those leaving the Southern Regions.]
[During this time, you have been unable to discern who is good and who is bad.]
[Seeing you unmoved, the Mystic Turtle snorted coldly and said, "If you wish to die, then go ahead!"]
[You remained silent for a long time, thinking that since this is just a simulation, at worst, you'd die.]
[No matter the outcome, you thought you could at least determine whether the Mystic Turtle was good or bad.]
[You could also find out if this formation was really set up by the Celestial Verdant Sect to protect the Southern Regions.]
In reality, Jiang Yifeng frowned slightly as he read this.
He was already certain that Bai Moyu intended to cultivate him like a poison.
So, would the formation really not attack him?
Jiang Yifeng murmured to himself.
"No, this formation was set up by Bai Moyu. Whether it would attack those from the Southern Regions before is unclear, but now it will definitely stop me!"
