Chapter 624: Will Those Brats Steal Our Manhole Covers?
"Your plan is quite good. The flood, one of the Five Disasters of Heavenly Dao, is indeed too powerful! There's almost no chance of contending against it on the surface."
"Hiding deep within the earth and seeking refuge in the power of the earth is the best choice."
"But..."
"The Five Disasters of Heavenly Dao were created to annihilate the ancient tribes! The flood won't cleanse the powerful true dragons or ancient exotic beasts, but the ancient tribes!"
"Even if you hide underground, the flood will still come for you."
...
From the rain that had fallen earlier, He Yiming could feel a malevolent intent.
A malevolent intent that was cruel, tyrannical, and sought to destroy all that was weak. It even defied common sense and possessed tracking capabilities.
Even a single drop of rain was this terrifying; what about the flood from the Five Disasters of Heavenly Dao?
"The biggest and most fatal flaw in your plan is..."
"What are you using as the load-bearing cover to shield against the flood in this deep well?" He Yiming slowly spoke.
"Naturally, we'll use the power of Wood Release to create a strong well cover. As long as it's a kilometer thick, it should work, right?" Star replied.
"Do you think it will work?" He Yiming asked in return.
"Brother Yiming, are you suggesting that there are brats who might steal our manhole covers?" Qianshou, the old pillar, asked in shock.
"???" Everyone's gaze turned to Qianshou, the old pillar.
Can't you be more sensible? You've completely misunderstood what he was saying!
"If..."
"What if this flood isn't an inanimate object, but has its own will, like a ruthless and fearsome predator? How will you defend against that?" He Yiming continued slowly.
In the ancient era, even a drop of rain couldn't be resisted by his combined divine and demonic form!
How savage could this flood, one of the Five Disasters of Heavenly Dao, be?
No matter how prepared one was, it might not be enough!
No wonder Mu Xueying had said that the Five Disasters of Heavenly Dao were something that the human race of this era couldn't possibly withstand!
He Yiming even had a terrifying intuition.
If a single drop of rain in the ancient rain could be considered at the level of a mortal infant...
Then, a single stream of water in the flood disaster of the Five Disasters of Heavenly Dao might be...
At the level of Divine Pill!
"In any case, continue with your plan, but at the same time, start thinking about how to resist the flood disaster!" He Yiming advised.
"Understood!"
He Yiming turned around and was about to leave the balcony when he saw a familiar figure.
Mu Xueying.
"Mu Xueying..." He Yiming looked at the stunning woman before him and, for a moment, couldn't determine if she was friend or foe.
Mu Xueying exuded a terrifying aura.
His intuition warned He Yiming to stay away from this woman!
However, at the same time, this woman always made inexplicable actions that made it impossible for He Yiming to look away from her.
"He Yiming, you have a group of very talented disciples!" Mu Xueying smiled sweetly.
"Yeah, I know!" He Yiming nodded.
"Shared Imagination requires the practitioners to primarily cultivate the same type of technique and have similar physique and bloodline. There are some powerful and secretive forces in the upper realm with similar schools of thought."
"But their scope is ultimately too limited!"
"They can't achieve what your disciples can!"
...
Mu Xueying slowly spoke.
"..." He Yiming simply listened. He knew that Mu Xueying had a point in suddenly bringing up this topic.
"The most difficult aspect of Shared Imagination is trust!"
"If two geniuses can truly share the power of their imagination, the increase in strength would be astonishing. However..."
"How can you ensure that the other person hasn't tampered with the shared imagination power? And how can you ensure that the other person won't be more greedy, secretly attacking you, and directly seizing your imagination power?" Mu Xueying continued.
He Yiming fell silent.
In this world of treachery, trust was indeed a nearly unsolvable problem.
Sharing imagination with other cultivators would always raise the question:
Why share imagination when I can just kill them and take their imagination power and all their opportunities for myself? Wouldn't that be more wonderful?
Once this thought emerged in a cultivator's mind, there was no going back.
Just like in the Divine Hall, Yanmo Laozu granted every Divine Guard formidable imagination power. But wasn't this also a way for Yanmo Laozu to fully control every Divine Guard? With a single thought, he could control their life and death.
"What do you want to say?" He Yiming asked directly.
"If you have a need..."
"I can tell you a secret technique that can permanently seize your disciple's imagination power, transforming it into your own!" Mu Xueying slowly spoke, finally revealing her purpose.
"!" He Yiming was taken aback.
From the moment Mu Xueying spoke those words, He Yiming knew.
From the moment Mu Xueying was born, she was never a naive, innocent, kind girl. She could never be associated with the image of a virtuous and benevolent woman.
This woman was genuinely...
A villainess!
As a righteous person, He Yiming naturally spoke without hesitation.
"Fine, I need it. Come, tell me!" He Yiming asked directly, taking out a jade slip with his right hand, ready to record the information.
Mu Xueying was briefly startled, then smiled sweetly.
"I like this about you! You're not conventional and never pretend!" Mu Xueying waved her hand, and a jade slip fell into He Yiming's hand.
"Let me tell you another special piece of news!"
"Six Paths Young Master also possesses this secret technique!"
...
Mu Xueying smiled faintly and then turned to leave.
He Yiming activated his divine sense and checked the jade slip a few times to confirm its content. He then placed it on his forehead.
Soon, He Yiming understood what this secret technique was.
Soul Seizing Technique!
In simple terms, this secret technique started by borrowing a favor from the other party, getting them to admit to owing you a favor.
After that, more favors were gradually granted, until you saved them from a life-threatening danger.
Once this point was reached, the Soul Seizing Technique was complete!
The other person would become one of your subsidiary bodies!
With a single thought from the user of the Soul Seizing Technique, they could seize all the imagination power of the other person, along with their opportunities and innate talents. It was all taken away!
Cruel and exceedingly treacherous!
"Crack!" He Yiming casually shattered the jade slip, 627.
"So that's how it is. In that case, the Sixth Paths Young Master coming to this secret realm wasn't for the secret realm itself..." He Yiming finally understood.
The three youngsters brought by Mu Xueying were all enigmatic in strength.
Although that Sword Proud rarely spoke, the aura of sword intent he emitted was no weaker than his own. He wondered what this young man's purpose was
in coming to this secret realm.
As for that red-haired young man, He Yiming had learned from Mu Xueying that he was Mu Xueying's family's chosen fiancé for her. He was a descendant of the late Emperor, the descendant of the Scarlet Emperor, Chima!
What was Chima's purpose in coming to this secret realm?
He Yiming didn't really care about the other human geniuses; only these three made him extremely wary.
He could sense that all three of them might have the power to challenge beyond their realm. Even if it wasn't solely their own power, it was still formidable!
"Boom, boom, boom!!!" At this moment, He Yiming looked up, and his expression changed.
The sound of thunder echoed, seemingly coming from a very distant place. Rain started to fall heavily once again.
"This rain is like the rain of death. Those unlucky ones who get soaked by it should brace themselves!" He Yiming looked towards the distance and then turned around, heading back into the cave.
The flood disaster could strike at any moment. What He Yiming needed to do now was to adjust his state.
At the same time...
"Damn, this rain is poisonous! F***!"
Niu Roumian looked at the rain falling from the sky again and involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air!
