Luofeng Continent, Illusion Alliance Base.

The atmosphere at today's Elder meeting was off.

【Rakshasa】 was weak and riddled with injuries, looking as if he might kick the bucket at any moment.

【Blood Crow】 was seething with resentment, with faint signs of decline appearing on his body.

【Heart Demon】, as the leader, had an aura no different from usual, but the mask on his face had changed.

It was still a multi-faced mask with four expressions, but the subtle details of the expressions and the patterns on the mask seemed slightly different upon closer inspection.

【White Crane】 and 【Yuntian】 looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Leader... that day, were you... okay?"

【White Crane】 asked after hesitating for a long time.

That day, he had clearly sensed a strange and powerful Heavenly Dao aura appear in Luofeng Continent, exactly in the direction where 【Heart Demon】 had set up the Ten Directions Spirit-Descending Array.

No one was unaware of the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao's modus operandi.

Thinking back to the scene where the three members of 【Last Twilight】 were caught cheating on the spot, it wasn't hard to guess what the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao had come here to do.

"It's fine, just lost a Clone."

A simple answer, but it carried significant weight in 【White Crane】's ears.

If the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao could be fooled by a simple Clone Technique, it wouldn't be pursued by so many Cultivators.

That earth-shattering combined palm strike—its momentum could even be felt at the Illusion Alliance Base.

One could easily imagine that 【Heart Demon】's strength and trump cards were unfathomable.

【White Crane】 and 【Yuntian】 exchanged a glance and ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) nodded secretly.

They were determined to cling to 【Heart Demon】's thigh.

"That day, I caught a glimpse of the Heavenly Dao. The golden runes around him had an aura somewhat similar to the uncrackable Technique patterns in 'this devil cultivator is not so cold'," 【Heart Demon】 recalled.

Upon hearing this, the other four were all startled.

"How is that possible?"

"Does the Leader mean... that kid has comprehended the power of the Heavenly Dao?"

"Absolutely impossible! That kid is only at the Nascent Soul Realm, how could he comprehend such profound Laws?"

"It must have been the Heavenly Dao personally teaching him!"

The four discussed it, their expressions looking somewhat grim.

No wonder even the Four Symbols of Heaven and Earth couldn't decipher the mystery; it was related to the Heavenly Dao, it would be strange if they could crack it!

"Regardless of how he obtained it, he does indeed possess this Technique..." 【Heart Demon】 tapped the table, and the four Elders immediately fell silent.

"What we need to do is find an opportunity to crack the Technique."

【White Crane】 shook his head dejectedly: "If even the Four Symbols of Heaven and Earth cannot crack it, what other methods are there?"

"Information," 【Heart Demon】 spat out the two words unhurriedly.

"Not enough information."

"A single completed Illusion Realm is naturally impossible to crack."

"But what if we obtain the illusion tower that still has Lu Ze's Divine Sense traces?"

Hearing this method, the four Elders' eyes lit up.

Honestly, it was actually feasible!

They had all witnessed the prowess of the Four Symbols of Heaven and Earth.

Human power couldn't analyze Techniques through Divine Sense traces, but the Four Symbols of Heaven and Earth might actually be able to do it!

"Then... shall I arrange for informants to steal it from the Lingxiao Sect?" 【Yuntian】 hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying.

"No need... the informants in the Lingxiao Sect might still be of great use in the future," 【Heart Demon】 rejected the idea.

"Besides, getting into and out of Lu Ze's residence without leaving a trace is no easy task."

【White Crane】: "Then what does the Leader mean..."

【Heart Demon】 gave a cold laugh: "Set the bait well and let him walk out of the Lingxiao Sect himself."

Hearing this, 【Yuntian】 frowned and sighed, not holding much hope.

"Sigh... as far as I know, that kid never leaves the Lingxiao Sect. Even if he does, he's definitely followed by a group of Elders or direct disciples; I'm afraid there won't be any opportunity."

"What if I have something he needs?"

Having said that, 【Heart Demon】 took out a pitch-black, slender crystal from his Storage Ring.

The knowledgeable 【White Crane】 frowned: "What is this?"

"taixu soul crystal," 【Heart Demon】 said, looking at the crystal that was so deep it seemed to swallow his gaze.

"Three hundred years ago, I obtained it by chance in an ancient Secret Realm. It's a treasure capable of enhancing Divine Sense."

"It's actually a taixu soul crystal!?"

【White Crane】's eyes instantly shot out greedy light; he had clearly heard the name of this treasure.

"Then why doesn't the Leader consume it himself... If you did, wouldn't our Illusion Realms be completely unafraid of Lu Ze?"

As soon as he finished speaking, 【Heart Demon】's Divine Sense expanded, and the four instantly felt a fear of being trapped in Hell.

Black Divine Sense, as if substantial—terrifying indeed!

【Heart Demon】 withdrew his Divine Sense and held up two fingers: "In this world, there were originally two... now, there is only this one."

"Since such a treasure exists, if it falls into that kid's hands, wouldn't it be aiding the villain?" 【Yuntian】 shook his head, trying to hide his inner greed.

"Why not find someone with top-tier talent among us to consume this taixu soul crystal? Wouldn't that strengthen our Illusion Alliance's power?"

Once this was said, the other three Elders nodded.

"The gap between you and Lu Ze is not in Divine Sense," 【Heart Demon】 was expressionless, his mood unreadable.

"Besides, using the taixu soul crystal as bait doesn't guarantee he will be taken down."

【Heart Demon】 explained his plan.

Host a grand event in the name of the Illusion Alliance.

They set the topic, Cultivators create the Illusion Realms, and the winner gets a reward.

This way, as long as they mess with the conditions of the topic, Lu Ze wouldn't necessarily be the winner.

Of course, this event was just a front. Obtaining the illusion tower used by Lu Ze was their ultimate goal.

Even so, the four Elders were still not optimistic.

After all, Lu Ze's level in Illusion Realms was truly Heaven-Defying, and he remained undefeated to this day.

"Rest assured, everyone..."

How could 【Heart Demon】 not know that all four wanted to swallow this taixu soul crystal?

He spoke slowly. "The taixu soul crystal is by no means an ordinary object."

"A mortal body has no luck digesting it."

"With my Heaven Rank bone structure, I can only absorb less than thirty percent."

"Such a treasure is both a divine medicine and a poison..."

"If an ordinary Cultivator touches it, it is not impossible for their Divine Sense to shatter instantly."

Hearing this, the four Elders finally dispelled their inner anxiety.

They even felt this was an unsolvable masterstroke.

First, regardless of whether Lu Ze wins or loses, they could obtain the illusion tower Lu Ze used and then use the Four Symbols of Heaven and Earth to crack the mystery of the Technique.

If Lu Ze loses, everyone is happy, and the Illusion Alliance wins big.

Even if Lu Ze luckily won... the taixu soul crystal wasn't something everyone could absorb; it depended on the quality of one's bone structure.

Even with 【Heart Demon】's strength, he could only absorb less than thirty percent. For an ordinary person, their Divine Sense would have been blown apart long ago!

As everyone knows, before Lu Ze entered the Dao through Illusion Realms and gained the Heavenly Dao's appreciation, he was a cultivation waste with mixed Spiritual Roots!

Three years after entering the sect, he was still at Qi Refining.

With such talent, what good would getting the taixu soul crystal do? It would be tantamount to suicide by poisoning!

In this way, it would be equivalent to removing the Illusion Alliance's greatest threat! So no matter the result, this move by 【Heart Demon】 had checkmated Lu Ze!
