Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone

Amina asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, nothing. Fellow, you're limited by your own spiritual power and can't purify it, so your strength should not match that of a cultivator at the fulfilled Divinity Transformation Realm."

"Hmm," Amina simply said, "Wang Zheng also mentioned this, but that's when the restriction on a spirit cultivator is not lifted. Once it's lifted, I should be able to rival an ordinary cultivator at the early to mid Unification Realm."

A group of cultivators fell silent again.

Amina didn't say much more either.

She actually disdained the innate pride within these members of the Heavenly Net Group.

But as it happens, this pride was also evident in Master Wang's demeanor, yet Amina herself didn't reject it, having long been accustomed to it.

The Moonship arrived at the designated spot, one after the other.

These were a series of lakefront villas, with two mechanical body camps nearby, and everywhere the well-prepared autonomous mechanical army could be seen.

There were more fireballs in the atmosphere, those were the rapidly descending ships.

Amina said calmly, "Everyone, please rest here; Wang Zheng will arrive shortly. If you need anything, just instruct the servants here directly."

With that, Amina slightly bowed and turned to walk outside the door.

As soon as she left, Hui Zhi Loose Person heard a few people's remarks.

"This person is overly arrogant."

"This Immortal Forbidden Land is indeed remarkable. We've often heard that the land seldom produces immortals, and if it does, they must be extraordinary, as this place demonstrates."

"Did you all discern the intricacies of the Spiritual Energy Circuit? The Outer Golden Core is one thing, but the ultimate refining skill is the essence. This Wang Zheng is probably a Refining Master, likely comparable to some Immortal Master Craftsmen."

"Indeed, indeed, it is indeed impressive."

Hui Zhi Loose Person let out a small sigh of relief.

She didn't even know why she cared whether the companions' view of this world was positive or not.

Perhaps because she had been here once and developed a sort of pseudo-host mentality.

Mechanical Maids brought in tea and snacks, offering all sorts of delicious delicacies generously.

Today's Earth is no longer the resource-scarce world of a century ago; humanity has entered interstellar navigation. Now resources are abundant, with plenty of diverse foods available.

This group of Heavenly Net members enjoyed being served, and the overall atmosphere wasn't too bad.

After a short while, a loud laugh rang out from outside the door.

"Hahaha!"

The crowd exchanged glances, finding this somewhat artificial laughter very familiar.

A point: a social etiquette commonly used by cultivators.

Twelve members of the Heavenly Net gathered at the door and saw a young man in a short shirt and long pants, with flowing long hair, stride through the courtyard. He gestured a big circle with both hands and performed a daoist bow to them.

As expected, he was one of their kind, a cultivator.

The twelve members of the Heavenly Net were disguised in their appearance and figures, looking like a group of cold-faced middle-aged men and women, who also cupped their hands in greeting.

"Fellows, I, Wang Jixuan, have been waiting here for a long time."

"You're too kind," Hui Zhi Loose Person said gently, "Since our last meeting, we hastened back to report. Our upper leader holds you in high esteem, and has sent us to lend our support in your efforts to vanquish the malevolent members of the Dark Sect."

Wang Jixuan blinked and smiled, "Fellow, are you here to earn merit again?"

"Well..."

Hui Zhi Loose Person didn't hesitate much, nodding with a smile.

Master Wang said with a smile, "In that case, let's have a good discussion on how to set the ambush and vanquish our enemies. Just like last time, the battle merits are yours! Come, let's talk inside!"

The twelve members of the Heavenly Net each cupped their hands and followed Master Wang inside.

Wang Jixuan exchanged brief pleasantries with everyone, then instructed Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo, who accompanied him, to prepare the feast.

Although Red Snake was also his disciple, their special status made it inconvenient for them to appear in such gatherings.

After a round of hearty drinking, both hosts and guests were thoroughly entertained.

Wang Jixuan had understood that the Heavenly Net Group intended to use this place as a 'bait to attack' tactic to deplete the Dark Sect's strength.

The Heavenly Net members also felt assured, knowing that Wang Jixuan desired the opportunity for becoming immortal and was interested in associating with them.

However, both sides were very cautious, not revealing any important information.

They only reached a tacit agreement on this matter of entrapping the Dark Sect.

Wang Jixuan changed the subject, "Unexpectedly, twelve experts have come this time, which is beyond my expectations. The Heavenly Net must be able to predict the actions of the Dark Sect. How many of them will come here this time?"

Hui Zhi Loose Person answered, "Probably two contingents, each with a group of nine, not exceeding twenty people."

"Oh?"

Master Wang was deep in thought.

Twenty people, this number is neither too many nor too few.

He had already sensed that there were two Tribulation Crossing experts among the Heavenly Net Group, and one was not far from the Mahayana Realm.

If the Dark Sect's people are also of this level, they would indeed be difficult to handle.

The Spirit Cultivators of Earth Civilization cannot all gather here, as battles were still ongoing in various places.

Dozens of cultivators in the Unification and Tribulation Crossing Stage would easily cause irreparable damage to the Earth's surface.

This is far more terrifying than a brawl involving dozens of Spirit Cultivators.

"This might be a bit tricky."

Wang Jixuan put down his wine cup, pondering continuously:

"If the enemies are this numerous, then we need to lead them underground, or out of the planet."

Huizhi Loose Man said earnestly: "This is also the matter we want to discuss with fellow Daoist... doesn't that underground secret realm of yours have a large number of puppets? We might as well lure them into your secret realm."

"They probably aren't foolish either."

Wang Jixuan smiled wryly:

"Just as you and I plan against the Dark Sect, the Dark Sect suffered a big loss once and will surely be hundreds or thousands times more vigilant.

"If they use innocent civilians in surface cities as a threat, we might be at a constant disadvantage."

He was also testing the waters with these words.

If even the lives of innocent people are disregarded, then these Heavenly Net Group members are likely not righteous people.

Fortunately;

As soon as Wang Jixuan spoke, the group of cultivators also looked troubled.

Huizhi Loose Man sighed and did not speak directly, she also wanted to hear what the other fellow Daoists thought.

A male cultivator, whose main body seemed like an old man, spoke: "This matter is indeed easily passive. The Dark Sect commits evil, and we must maintain order. This order is essentially to protect the innocent beings here from catastrophe."

Everyone was in a difficult position.

Someone said: "Evil people do evil, it's not us doing evil, so we don't really need to worry too much about this matter."

"Even if they kill a million, it's unrelated to us. We act on behalf of Heaven to avenge them."

"But we can't say that either, if you and I fight with the Dark Sect and inadvertently involve these beings, it will leave a karma barrier on us."

"Merit is merit, karma is karma; they can't cancel each other out, too much karma, or disrupting the order of heaven and earth, you will be punished by Heaven during the Heavenly Tribulation."

"So what should we do?"

Twelve members of the Heavenly Net Group seemed to also have some differences in opinion.

Huizhi Loose Man asked: "Fellow Daoist Wang Zheng, do you have any clever methods?"

"I don't have many clever methods, but as long as the casualties aren't too severe, we can accept it."

Wang Jixuan smiled apologetically.

Heaven's Punishment, he has endured it before, and at that time, the heavens did not strike him mistakenly.

Master Wang then suggested: "It's better to do this, use myself as bait to lure these cultivators over, I prepared an empty city on the surface, and when the time comes, place hundreds of thousands of high-level mechanical bodies—these mechanical puppets—inside and see if we can attract them directly over."

Everyone exchanged looks, nodding in agreement.

This was already the method to minimize their karma.

Huizhi Loose Man remembered the upper leader's instructions, carefully observing Wang Jixuan, then said accordingly:

"Fellow Daoist is noble, I admire you greatly.

"Just wondering if after our last parting, have you considered my previous proposal to you?

"After this battle, why doesn't fellow Daoist return with us together? Although you have committed the error of disturbing the Immortal Forbidden Land, needing punishment, staying here is ultimately a life-threatening danger for you.

"The Dark Sect will not stop until they achieve their goal; they want to destroy you directly.

"If you return with us, just treat the ordeal as closed-cultivation, we will also plead for you, hoping you can return early to the Great Path."

So, they're trying to persuade him to surrender again.

Wang Jixuan's gaze flickered slightly.

If it had been before exploring the Moon Palace, Wang Jixuan might have hesitated, but not anymore.

"I have a few conditions, I wonder if fellow Daoist can have your upper leader agree to them."

"Please, go ahead and speak."
