Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 287 - 286 Discuss

Seeing everyone’s gaze turn toward him, Zhou Bai was slightly startled, having not expected things to turn out like this.

Christina was already shouting in Zhou Bai’s sea of consciousness, "Let’s go, Zhou Bai. Why should we bother with such danger? Let them send someone else."

However, Zhou Bai didn’t see it that way, and he looked at Zhao Shouyi to say, "Principal, I have no problem going. I’ve developed all my cultivation at the Dao School, and I am ready to serve the school anytime, anywhere. As long as it makes Dao School and its city a better place, sacrificing my life is not too high a price to pay."

Christina thought to herself, "No one believes that."

Zhao Shouyi, however, looked at Zhou Bai with satisfaction. Regardless of how sincere Zhou Bai was, the fact he expressed such sentiment pleased him.

Zhao Shouyi said, "I’m glad you feel this way. This matter involves uncertain dangers. But if you are willing to go, I will definitely make the proper arrangements for you and do my utmost to reduce the risks involved."

"Principal, you’ve really spoken to my heart," Zhou Bai said, nodding nonstop. "I feel that when searching for the Primordial Scriptural Hall, especially in places where it might have become distorted, safety is very important." Zhou Bai continued, "So I thought of a method."

Seeing everyone looking at him with curiosity, Zhou Bai said, "Since Dr. Zhuang over there doesn’t know who I am, why not send someone to impersonate me?"

"I think Zheng Wentian looks quite like me, he’s got about a third of my charm, his cultivation isn’t bad, and he’s capable. It might be best to have him go in my place."

In the silence that ensued, Yan Hui slowly said, "Actually, we’ve already tried this method, sending someone to pretend to be the person providing the coordinates. But Zhuang Yan seems to have a certain way of confirming identities, and he easily saw through it. Clearly, he has a method of recognition."

Zhou Bai said, "It’s very possible that... he can recognize whether others have cultivated the Primordial Scriptural Hall." He shook his head, "It looks like I really will have to make the trip myself."

Since it was indeed necessary for him to go, Zhou Bai wasn’t about to show fear. Besides, with the Time Reverse gemstone and the support of Dao School, there was no need for him to.

However, Zhou Bai wasn’t going to be careless about his own safety.

Having decided to go, he naturally needed to prepare fully. He said, "Principal, if I’m going, it’s best to hide the news so as not to alert any Heavenly Demons or deities. I’m worried someone might try to harm me."

"Don’t worry, I will find a decoy to pretend to be you in secluded cultivation," said Zhao Shouyi.

Yan Hui said, "You can trust my people, they’re absolutely reliable and won’t leak any news."

Professor Yin added, "I have several projects I’m busy with. For research, we’ll have Shang Beibei follow and collect data."

The group exchanged ideas and quickly settled on a rough plan.

Zhou Bai asked, "Who are the experts that will be accompanying me this time?"

Yan Hui said, "Under my command are ten third-realm cultivators, two of the fourth realm, and I myself am of the fifth realm. The path I’ve chosen is the Gun Diagram line, and at the fifth realm, I picked the Yellow Turban Diagram."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Bai felt that the strength of the team was a bit lacking and asked in his mind, "Tina, how is the Yellow Turban Diagram?"

Christina replied, "The Gun Diagram path specializes in military formations, also capable of large-scale blessings and curses. As for the Yellow Turban Diagram in the fifth realm, it’s not bad. It can create up to about a hundred Yellow Turban strongmen."

Huangjin Wrestlers are impervious to blades and spears, immune to water and fire; as long as the cultivator’s Primordial Spirit power is sufficient, they can be revived at any time. As for combat power, well, they’re roughly on par with Body Refining Practitioners of the second or third realm, but they can also perform Arrays and equip mystical artifacts, which may potentially make them even stronger.

"If the Array is skillfully deployed and each of the 100 Huangjin Wrestlers is equipped with a mystical artifact, then I reckon even a sixth-realm cultivator wouldn’t be able to defeat them."

Hearing this, Zhou Bai silently nodded in agreement, but even if Yan Hui truly had the combat power of the sixth realm, he still felt the protective power was insufficient.

So, Zhou Bai turned to Zhao Shouyi, "Principal, once I venture out, who knows how many people will be eyeing this Eastern Brilliance treasure of mine. You’d better send more people to protect me."

Zhao Shouyi smiled, "Don’t worry, Zhou Bai, I’ll have Xiao Lu and Kuang Tu accompany you this time. In addition, our ancestor has also prepared something for you that will absolutely protect you."

After discussing for awhile, Zhou Bai, led by Zhao Shouyi, then headed over to Jiaojiao’s side.

Zhou Bai felt a surge of Primordial Spirit power reconnecting to his body once more, and Jiaojiao’s voice followed.

"Zhou Bai, there is indeed a possibility that danger might occur on your trip to Zhuang Yan’s place. I pondered about it and wanted to give you some mystical artifacts or talismans, but they wouldn’t be of much use; after all, your cultivation level is still weak, and they might be taken away from you before you could even use them."

As Jiaojiao spoke, Zhou Bai felt his body gradually warming up, as if he was soaking in a hot spring, with streams of heat continuously infusing into his limbs and bones.

"Having learned the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword for so long, you should have already cultivated your own Galaxy Sword Seed, right?"

With Jiaojiao’s words, Zhou Bai saw a black gemstone enveloped by Primordial Spirit power floating towards him.

Before it even got close, Zhou Bai felt the Sword Seed within his sea of consciousness tremble, as if sensing a kindred power.

Suddenly, Zhou Bai felt immense Sword Qi, like an inverted galaxy, constantly emerging and converging within the gemstone.

The black gemstone, dark as the universe, shimmered with Sword Qi, allowing one to faintly make out the twinkling starlight within.

With the black gemstone floating before Zhou Bai, Jiaojiao slowly said, "This gemstone has been infused with my Galaxy Sword Energy. The Sword Qi and your Sword Seed are of the same origin, both derived from the cultivation of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword, and this also includes a thread of my Primordial Spirit power.

For the next 30 days, as long as you use the Sword Seed within your sea of consciousness to activate the gemstone, it will draw out the Galaxy Sword Energy within. Whether you use it to kill enemies or protect yourself, it’s entirely up to you."

"With the power of the Galaxy Sword Energy within, even a ninth-realm cultivator wouldn’t be able to kill you in a short time."

Zhou Bai took the gemstone with a delighted face, feeling the surging Galaxy Sword Energy within, and said to Jiaojiao, "Thank you, Elder." Then, with a thought, he called out to the supplementary cultivation system, ’How much can I sell this thing for?’

’Oh? 300,000 laziness points? Not bad, not bad.’

Jiaojiao’s voice, accompanied by a strong sense of fatigue, came through, "You should go now. Having cast the Twilight Taoist Skill, I need a good sleep."

Zhou Bai followed Zhao Shouyi outside, who looked at Zhou Bai with a complex expression and said, "I have never seen the ancestor value someone so much, to the extent of using Twilight Taoist Skill for them. You must be careful this time and ensure your safety."

Next, Zhou Bai did not immediately leave with Yan Hui and the others but found various excuses to delay a few days finally, until the cooling period of the gemstone had passed.

After making all the necessary preparations, Zhou Bai announced that he would close off for cultivation training. He temporarily entrusted Elsa to Jing Xiu’s care and, along with Christina, followed the team to the coordinates where the Primordial Dao Treasury 03 was located.
