Vol 2 Chapter 487: Acting Challenge

"Is Junior Brother trapped in that so-called Five Organs Pavilion?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Within the Ziwei Constellation of Jiushan Realm, Yuan Xiaoniao was pacing anxiously, a trail of Azure Luan spirit fire flickering behind her.

"Don't panic." Senior Sister Zhang grabbed her arm, her expression cold. "What's the use of panicking? If necessary, we'll deploy the Heavenly River Army to Haori Mountain."

The Heavenly Emperor body couldn't help but break into a cold sweat - shouldn't you be the one not panicking, Senior Sister Zhang!

"Well, Senior Sister Zhang, we haven't reached that point yet. The Heavenly River Army isn't fully formed after all."

"Right, right, Wuyi, Zheng Fa is fine." Uncle Pang also chimed in from the side. "Besides, he still has the One Qi Transforming into Three Purities technique to escape with."

Surrounded by their reassurances, the cold light in Senior Sister Zhang's eyes gradually receded, though she still asked worriedly: "He's really alright?"

"The Creation Daoist probably wants to use the true self to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi, which is why he hasn't taken any harmful actions. It's just..." The Heavenly Emperor frowned. "The connection between the true self and the outside world has been severed."

"What do you mean?"

"The true self cannot leave the Five Organs Pavilion, and what's more, no one seems to be coming to find him. There isn't even any news from the outside world." The Heavenly Emperor body explained. "Previously, Nüwa and Tongtian had both made appointments with the true self."

"Now there's complete silence. The true self suspects that first, Nüwa and the others might have forgotten after speaking, or that they were merely illusions all along - that everything that happened in the Purple Heaven Palace wasn't real."

"Second possibility is that the Creation Daoist has isolated the inside and outside of the Five Organs Pavilion."

The Heavenly Emperor paused here, seeming to have some speculation. "This Five Organs Pavilion is probably quite special. The true self doesn't dare act recklessly."

"This is troublesome..." Uncle Pang frowned, his plump face full of worry. "In that case, isn't Zheng Fa completely restricted?"

"Exactly so." The Heavenly Emperor sighed. "Not to mention anything else, he doesn't even have the opportunity to go ask Tongtian and Nüwa about the inscriptions on the Qian Kun Tripod."

"So it seems the only way to leave the Five Organs Pavilion is to gain the trust of that Creation Daoist?" Senior Sister Zhang said softly. "Yet ironically this person is quite wary of Junior Brother."

"It's not just him. Among the thirteen people in this Five Organs Pavilion, which one isn't Zheng Fa's enemy?" Uncle Pang sighed deeply, speaking helplessly. "They're not making moves now because they're all waiting for the Hongmeng Purple Qi. How can we talk about trust?"

Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly, her expression also showing some helplessness.

Zheng Fa stood in the courtyard of the Five Organs Pavilion, looking out the window. After the first lecture ended and they returned to this Five Organs Pavilion, he had never left again.

A few days ago, he had tentatively followed a small path toward the mountain foot, but as he walked, he reached an absolutely impossible cliff with no way forward.

Zheng Fa knew this was a silent warning - he was under house arrest.

He looked through the wooden window at the sky. Between the sky and him, there was still a net woven from intertwined trees.

Chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp.

Zheng Fa's ears caught the sound of summer cicadas singing.

Cicadas?

He looked toward the distant trees, and his gaze immediately froze.

A cicada about half a palm in size, with star-like spots on its back, was clinging to the tree closest to the small courtyard, vibrating its wings and singing.

I know that cicada!

This was a type of spirit gu cultivated by the Gu God. It appeared to have no spiritual energy but was actually extremely useful - it was called the Thousand-Eyes Cicada. Mysterious as it sounded, it was essentially just a stealth camera.

According to Jiushan Sect's research, these Thousand-Eyes Cicadas naturally possessed spirit eyes and could transmit complex image and sound information to each other, while being extremely difficult to detect by others.

"So it seems the only way to leave the Five Organs Pavilion is to gain the trust of that Creation Daoist?" Senior Sister Zhang said softly. "Yet this person is quite wary of Junior Brother for some reason."

The Gu God?

She could evade the Creation Daoist's detection?

A fleeting smile appeared on Zheng Fa's face. Uncle Pang was wrong - who said he was isolated and without support in this Five Organs Pavilion?

......

"How is it?"

In another courtyard of the Five Organs Pavilion, the White Bone Demon Ancestor transmitted his message to the Gu God in a deep voice.

The Gu God glanced at him but didn't speak, only letting out a light, proud laugh.

"Found him?" the White Bone Demon Ancestor said happily. "This Nine Luminaries Heaven is truly unfair... We've waited so many years, and now this Shi Nandang gets to go first."

Hearing this, the smile on the Gu God's face gradually disappeared. She simply said: "Fortunately, this Shi Nandang's strength is insufficient. Even if he really obtains that Hongmeng Purple Qi, we still have opportunities."

"I'm afraid the Creation Daoist thinks the same way." The White Bone Demon Ancestor snorted. "This Five Organs Pavilion is his domain. If he didn't have the same intention, why would he protect this kid so much?"

The Gu God nodded slightly, her expression also quite unpleasant: "I've never been able to figure out the Creation Daoist's thoughts."

"Fortunately, with our alliance, we don't need to fear him." The White Bone Demon Ancestor said in a low voice. "Moreover, the Lu Clan controls the gateway to Nine Luminaries Heaven. It's just that Bailian and the Roc are far stronger than both of us - they're the real threats."

"That's why I sought your alliance. Our strength is the weakest among the Dao Fruit holders. If we don't cooperate, how can we seize that Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

"...What do you want me to do?"

"Stop Bailian and the Creation Daoist among others."

The White Bone Demon Ancestor chuckled: "Then what will you do?"

The Gu God said coldly: "With my children, no matter how strong the others are, that Shi Nandang cannot escape my control."

"You're confident?"

"Of course!"

The White Bone Demon Ancestor said in a low voice, "I want to hear exactly how you plan to do this."

The Gu God remained silent for a moment before explaining: "I have two more types of gu."

"What?"

"One is called the Puppet-Thread Insect, the other is called the Skin-Painting Moth." As she spoke, the Gu God couldn't help showing a proud expression.

The White Bone Demon Ancestor's tone carried some curiosity: "What's special about these two gu insects?"

"Once the Puppet-Thread Insect enters the body, any cultivator will become my puppet, completely under my control."

The spirit fire in the White Bone Demon Ancestor's eye sockets swayed slightly.

The Gu God chuckled: "This child only controls cultivators with lower cultivation than me."

The White Bone Demon Ancestor nodded, then asked: "What about the Skin-Painting Gu?"

"It can devour a cultivator's entire cultivation and take their place."

The spirit fire in the White Bone Demon Ancestor's eyes blazed brightly: "In that case, even if that Shi Nandang obtains the Hongmeng Purple Qi, it will still end up in our possession!"

The Gu God nodded proudly: "When the time comes, with the Lu Clan providing support from outside, we'll take the Hongmeng Purple Qi and escape from Nine Luminaries Heaven, trapping the others inside."

The White Bone Demon Ancestor seemed quite excited, pacing back and forth in the courtyard before saying in a deep voice: "I agree. Proceed as you wish. Leave the others to me."

"Not so fast. Shi Nandang isn't worth worrying about. The most important thing is to avoid the notice of the Creation Daoist, Bailian, and those three."

Zheng Fa, who was supposedly "not worth worrying about," was receiving and analyzing the information transmitted by the Thousand-Eyes Cicadas. He was actually quite worried and really wanted to ask the Gu God a question:

How should one act to seem like someone who's frequently possessed by gu insects?

He really had no experience.
