Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 681: How Can Great Things Be Accomplished If You Hesitate In Taking Action_1

As the Golden Body Dharma Ability became widely accepted, more and more Cultivators became involved in the battle against the giant beasts, completely crushing the previous overwhelming advantage of the giant beasts.

The main reason was not that Wang Linchi's Golden Body Dharma was so strong, but because of a powerful resurgence.

The five individuals in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage had their own selfish plans because they could completely ignore the state of the Qiandao Realm's ecosystem. After all, their thoughts were always set on going to the Green Nether Fairyland.

However, the Cultivators of the middle and lower levels could not afford to do so. If the Qiandao Realm were occupied by the giant beasts, their fate was all too predictable.

Therefore, in the conquest of the giant beasts, they all exerted their full strength, driven not only by the threat to their own survival but also by deep-seated hatred.

The destructive behavior of the giant beasts was indiscriminate, causing massive casualties to humans and objects alike.

So, compared to the five in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, they were more united and rarely had problems with coordination.

However, this matter affected the status of the five individuals in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

"Gentlemen, we have been outmaneuvered by the Lingyuan Hermit." Lu Xing's expression was grim; although he had never trusted Wang Linchi's words, he had also realized the other party's ill intentions in spreading the Golden Body Dharma Ability.

The agreement was for others to act as their shields. So how had the situation developed so favorably, to the point where it felt as if he and his group were completely marginalized?

With the appearance of the Golden Body Dharma, Wang Linchi's prominence instantly overshadowed theirs.

Their previously important status seemed to vanish entirely. The most direct consequence was that they were no longer needed to fight the giant beasts.

Cultivators of other cultivation Realms, provided there were enough of them, could exert the same power as them through the Golden Body Dharma. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Normally, this would be utterly impossible. For them, a thousand Mahayana Realm Cultivators were opponents they could annihilate with a wave of their hand. Yet, with the help of the Golden Body Dharma Ability, those Cultivators could stand on equal footing with them. How could they be reconciled to this?

More importantly, there was the matter of Ascension. He had initially believed that the Merit Giant, formed by Cultivators of other cultivation Realms, would be weaker than them. That way, it could serve as a shield for them. But now, they were equally powerful. Not only could it not shield them, but they themselves might become the shields.

This series of changes naturally infuriated the five in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

"What's your solution then?" Liang Shun's expression was also grim.

They were not oblivious to the current situation, but they lacked the means to resolve it.

Having been sidelined, their strength no longer unique, they had been completely marginalized.

If it weren't impossible to defect to the giant beasts, they would have considered doing so just to get by.

Some had tried to surrender, but the giant beasts had no need for them and killed those who surrendered on the spot. Afterward, others who refused to believe it tried one after another, but all met the same fate. After that, no one ever considered defecting to the giant beasts again.

"Kill!" Yang Song spat out a single word.

Everyone present froze for a moment, then Lu Xing was the first to object, "No! We still haven't obtained the Golden Body Dharma Ability!"

All their forbearance was for this Golden Body Dharma Ability. If you say kill now, wouldn't all our previous endurance be for nothing?

"We can't kill, so we have to tolerate it?" Yang Song couldn't help but challenge. "Then what's the point of you calling us here to discuss this? It's not like we're idle."

"Although we can't kill the Lingyuan Hermit, we can dismember the Tao Tian League and teach him a lesson," Lu Xing laughed sinisterly.

"Dismember the Tao Tian League? That's easier said than done. We currently have neither power nor influence; how could we accomplish that?" Yang Song agreed with the idea but had no way to implement it.

"Although Lord Hu has fallen, he left behind a son, Hu Da. Are you aware of this?" Lu Xing's words implied he already had a plan.

"I have some knowledge of him," Yang Song said disdainfully. "He has sky-high ambitions but a fragile destiny. He dared to provoke the Lingyuan Hermit with his mere Body Integration Realm cultivation. If it weren't for the Lingyuan Hermit's magnanimity, that brat would have died countless times already."

Although they were dissatisfied with Wang Linchi, he was still someone on their level. As for someone like Hu Heng's son, who lacked judgment, they felt nothing but contempt. If it were them, forget the son of a League Lord; even if the League Lord himself had a lower cultivation Realm and dared to show off before them, they would have crushed him directly.

"He has been contacting his father's old subordinates recently, trying to reclaim the position of League Lord." Lu Xing also smiled, as if watching a farce.

"Huh? How could he entertain such a thought?" Upon hearing this, Liang Shun also burst out laughing.

A mere Body Integration Realm Cultivator—what right does he have to possess such capability? If it were a Transcendance Tribulation Stage Cultivator, even an early-stage one, they would have a chance of succeeding.

While a Body Integration Realm Cultivator was indeed considered a high-level Cultivator in the Qiandao Realm, in their eyes, he was no stronger than a child.

"It's nothing more than ignorance and arrogance. However, for us, this presents an opportunity," Lu Xing said, his tone shifting.

Everyone immediately understood Lu Xing's meaning: he wanted to use Hu Da's identity to fracture the Tao Tian League, splitting it in two.

Then they could use this to contend with Wang Linchi on equal terms.

"The idea is good, but there's one problem," Yang Song asked, his eyes lifeless. "We've antagonized the Lingyuan Hermit so much; do you think he'll give us the complete Golden Body Dharma Ability?"

He raised a crucial question: having opposed Wang Linchi, why would Wang Linchi still give them the Golden Body Dharma Ability? It couldn't be because he was itching for a beating, could it?

Doing so would indeed vent their anger, but the outcome would be skewed. Their main objective was not to attack Wang Linchi, but to obtain his Divine Skill.

"I understand your concern, but we don't need to offer direct support; we can do it indirectly," Lu Xing said, determined to get even.

"As long as we clean up properly, we five are Transcendance Tribulation Stage Cultivators. The Lingyuan Hermit against the five of us—what advantage could he possibly have?"

"If we want to hide it from him while still antagonizing him, it would only take a few minor tricks on our part."

As long as they left no evidence or traces, Wang Linchi would not suspect them. After all, they were, nominally at least, Wang Linchi's 'confidants.' Even if it was only superficial, this could be to their advantage.

Lu Xing and Yang Song quickly reached an agreement, but the remaining three hesitated.

First, the three of them hadn't experienced what Lu Xing and Yang Song had. They had neither been made scapegoats nor directly harmed by Wang Linchi. So, for Lu Xing and Yang Song to drag them into misfortune just to vent their own anger offered no benefits, only a host of problems. Did they think the three were fools?

"I will not participate in this matter. I will remain neutral; I won't inform on you, nor will I cooperate," Liang Shun stated immediately.

These words made Lu Xing's and Yang Song's expressions falter; they hadn't expected this turn of events at all.

The two quickly understood that the other three's interests were not aligned with theirs. Since those three could tolerate the situation, they hadn't faced the same kind of suppression.

As for power and influence, those three hadn't actually experienced much change. It was only because the overall environment had shifted that they perceived their influence as waning, leading to a sense of loss.

"Fine. If this matter gets leaked..." Lu Xing didn't press them. Unless he could offer benefits tempting enough to sway these three, there was no point in trying to win them over.

"May I suffer Heaven and Earth Annihilation," Liang Shun vowed.

It wasn't binding, however, unless sworn upon one's merit.

However, Lu Xing had no way to make them go that far. After all, he had convened the meeting; trying to force them would only be counterproductive.

Achieving this much was already quite good.

"In that case, I won't be involved in what comes next. I have pressing matters at home, so I'll take my leave first. Farewell!" Liang Shun didn't intend to stay and listen to their plans any further.

Some things are best left unheard. If I hear too much, I might get dragged into it.

After Liang Shun left, the other two also cupped their fists, stating they also had urgent family matters to attend to and would return to deal with them.

In short, they didn't want to get involved in Lu Xing and Yang Song's affairs.

Hmph, such short-sighted fools. They probably won't escape the Lingyuan Hermit's grasp, Lu Xing sneered. He believed he alone saw the truth. Fortunately, he hadn't intended to persuade the three anyway; he merely commented on them.

"There's no need to mind them," Yang Song said, agreeing with Lu Xing. "Do those three really think the Lingyuan Hermit will benevolently grant them the Divine Skill? If we don't have enough leverage against the Lingyuan Hermit, he will continue to control us by dangling the prospect of deducing the Divine Skill. This endeavor would then not be worth the cost."
