What should I do?

Yang Wudi is really panicked at the moment.

He can clearly feel that the power of the Qiong Qi's divine soul, originating from the Qiong Qi, has enveloped his weak, helpless, and pitiful elemental spirit.

Resistance is futile.

The power of the Evil God's divine soul is incredibly strong, not to mention that Yang Wudi only has the strength of a True Immortal and follows the path of body cultivation, making his elemental spirit inherently weak.

Even if his elemental spirit's power is increased tenfold, it would still be difficult to resist the erosion of the Evil God's Qiong Qi!

At most, he can hold on for a little longer and last a bit longer in front of the Qiong Qi.

Should he surrender?

The Lord is watching!

If his elemental spirit is controlled by this little monster, the Lord will probably directly use the "Great Handprint of Annihilation" on him!

Yang Wudi grits his teeth and, with a fierce determination, somehow finds the strength within himself. He forcefully swings his neck and unleashes the powerful force of his body cultivation, throwing off the female Heavenly Immortal who was grabbing him to the side!

Both the Qiong Qi and the female Heavenly Immortal are stunned.

But at this moment, the black aura has already wrapped around Yang Wudi's elemental spirit.

The Qiong Qi's phantom image next to Yang Wudi's elemental spirit and the woman who just took off her hat speak at the same time:

"You dare to resist me?"

Her voice is filled with coldness, and she has already made up her mind to kill.

Cold sweat drips down Yang Wudi's forehead, and his whole body trembles uncontrollably.

The old woman kneeling on the ground in her luxurious clothes is also staring at Yang Wudi, emitting the aura of a Transcendent expert!

"Yang Wudi, how dare you defy Lord Father! You deserve to die!"

Yang Wudi quickly comes up with a plan. He headbutts the arm of the female Heavenly Immortal in front of him and shouts:

"I-I was just too nervous! Please do it again! This time, I promise I won't move!"

The Qiong Qi's female Heavenly Immortal steps back and stands several zhang away, watching Yang Wudi.

After a cold snort, she smirks and closes her eyes.

The Qiong Qi's phantom image continues to float around Yang Wudi's elemental spirit.

It chuckles and approaches Yang Wudi's elemental spirit, continuing its old tricks—temptation and corruption.

"Yang Wudi, tell me, what do you want?"

Its voice is deep and soothing, making people unconsciously fall into it and instinctively feel that the owner of this voice possesses immense power and authority, capable of fulfilling all their desires.

Yang Wudi's elemental spirit trembles, and he obediently sits there, his face full of conflict.

Wu Wang watches from the side, and this gray aura doesn't catch the Qiong Qi's attention at all.

Upon further thought, it's actually quite normal that the other party doesn't notice him.

Even if he knocks a hole in the Qiong Qi's head and stuffs it with sixty-six "Great Wisdom Pills," the Qiong Qi would never think that it would end up in the elemental spirit palace of an unknown body cultivator in the Human Realm...

Meeting a fellow practitioner.

So, Wu Wang witnesses how the Evil God tempts and corrupts the body cultivators in the Human Realm.

This is an extremely precious scene.

Unfortunately, with Wu Wang's current abilities, he can only watch and not capture it.

The Qiong Qi, the ancient exotic beast and the leader of the Ten Calamities Palace in the Heavenly Palace, first displays its three-step temptation to corrupt the cultivators. It circles around Yang Wudi's elemental spirit, constantly speaking in a low voice:

"What do you desire?

Power? Status? I can make those who look down on you grovel at your feet, and I can make you sit in a position that others can't reach.

Release your desires, Wudi. You are no worse than them."

Looking at Yang Wudi's elemental spirit, which is currently dimming, the Qiong Qi continues to circle around it, speaking and murmuring:

"Are you afraid of me? Is that so, Yang Wudi?"

"You are carefully protecting the humble side of your heart, aren't you?"

"Release it, only I can understand you. Once you accept me, I will promote you."

"I know what you want, I know what you desire deep down... No one understands how to fulfill wishes better than me."

Is that it?

Wu Wang carefully observes the Qiong Qi and almost argues with it.

Is it only capable of saying these ambiguous words?

It keeps saying that it knows what Yang Wudi wants, but why doesn't it say something specific?

The Qiong Qi is truly a cunning old fox.

What should I do?

Wu Wang is not just a bystander. Seeing Yang Wudi struggling and thinking about countermeasures.

The current situation is not a result of their negligence.

After all, according to common sense, why would the Qiong Qi want to control someone from the Ten Calamities Palace who is already "controlled"?

The reason why the Qiong Qi made a move against Yang Wudi can also be found in the Qiong Qi's words that seduced Yang Wudi.

—It wants to promote Yang Wudi and feels that the restraints of the Ten Calamities Palace are not strong enough, so it wants to directly control Yang Wudi's elemental spirit.

At this moment, Wu Wang can only try to remedy the situation.

Let Yang Wudi's elemental spirit be controlled by the Qiong Qi and then find an opportunity to remove the "Qie" of the Qiong Qi?

Just like Xue Kailong, even though his divine soul was damaged, after a hundred or several hundred years of cultivation, he could repair his Elemental Infant and continue cultivating.

No, the two cannot be confused.

If Yang Wudi's mental defenses are breached and the Qiong Qi controls his elemental spirit, it will directly learn that Yang Wudi is a subordinate of Master Wuwang. It will probably also see the memories of the two planning and scheming against the Ten Calamities Palace.

The exposure of the plan is a small matter. Wu Wang has various ways to deal with the Ten Calamities Palace.

But Yang Wudi, the small contributor who has made many achievements in annihilating the sect, will probably be humiliated and directly killed by the Qiong Qi!

Thinking of this, anger starts to rise in Wu Wang's heart.

He can't be hasty, he must remain calm.

If he doesn't take action, Yang Wudi will undoubtedly die. He must take action next.

But how should he take action?

Should he negotiate with the Qiong Qi? Or should he speak up and threaten, making a deal with the Qiong Qi?

Wu Wang's thoughts quickly turn, watching Yang Wudi's elemental spirit and feeling the pain he is currently enduring."[This guy, let's give him fewer spirit stones in the future.]"

Wu Wang divided his attention, searching for his own trump cards, but couldn't find a suitable one to use in this situation.

He was too far away from Yang Wudi.

Suddenly, the flame in Wu Wang's spiritual platform flickered, and Shen Nong's coughing sound suddenly sounded...

It turns out there's someone else watching the show here!

In Yang Wudi's divine mansion, the consciousness of Yang Wudi, Qiong Qi, Wu Wang, and the Emperor of Humanity gathered together.

If Yang Wudi knew about this, he wouldn't know how to react.

Wu Wang heard Shen Nong's voice transmission through the Yan Emperor's command token:

"This mist was accidentally refined by me when I was alchemy in my early years. It contains the essence of many spiritual roots and has been forged into an invisible treasure using the method of refining tools for many years.

This treasure has endless uses. It can change its appearance at will, and if it wraps around a person's soul, it can monitor them at any time.

It can avoid water and fire in battle, resist thunder and lightning in fights, and can be used to protect the divine soul in the face of heavenly tribulation.

Some juniors always think that the old predecessors are only trying to deceive them. They have already gained great benefits, but unfortunately, they are unaware."

Wu Wang:...

This thing has so many benefits. Why didn't you just say it directly? How would he know if you don't say it!

"What does this have to do with rescuing Yang Wudi?"

"If you want to protect Yang Wudi, go talk to this little cat."

The flame of the Yan Emperor's command token surged, revealing a smile and pointing:

"I just want to remind you that this treasure can change its appearance at will, and you are not limited to the path of fire."

Wu Wang frowned and pondered upon hearing this.

The implication of the old predecessor's words was for him to use his identity as a holder of the Star God's bloodline to talk to Qiong Qi. As long as he could scare Qiong Qi, he could temporarily protect Yang Wudi.

But Wu Wang also had another concern, worrying that involving his mother and the North Wilderness clan too early would drag them into the war between the Human Realm and the Heavenly Palace.

Breath, Dao rhyme, divine sense fluctuations, this treasure...

Wu Wang observed the state of Yang Wudi's divine soul, his mind fully focused, searching for a solution.

There must be a way to solve this problem.

Seeking help?

The fact that the old predecessor chose to remind him through voice transmission meant that he didn't want to directly intervene in saving Yang Wudi.

His mother didn't know about these things.

His mother's necklace couldn't observe his spiritual platform at all times, it could only transmit sound in his heart.

Wu Wang pondered for a moment, and a flash of inspiration appeared, which he quickly grasped.

Got it!

Wu Wang looked at the pair of Yin and Yang Qi storage rings in his bracelet and pulled out a fragment from it, quickly incorporating the remaining Dao rhyme into the mist.

[Fragment of the Gate of the Netherworld: When Shen Nong escorted Jing Wei's remnant soul to be reincarnated as a fetus, the Gate of the Netherworld, which had been dormant for many years, shattered. Shen Nong gave this fragment to Wu Wang for enlightenment.]

Within this fragment, a broken grand dao was locked.

But because it was too damaged, Wu Wang only treated it as a last resort and didn't comprehend its mysteries.

At this moment, what Wu Wang borrowed from the fragment was only the Dao rhyme of the 'Netherworld' grand dao.

He didn't know if it would work, so Wu Wang made an additional preparation.

He gathered the starlight from various heavens. If this Dao rhyme was discovered, he would directly reveal the Dao rhyme of the Stellar Grand Dao.

Everything was ready!

Wu Wang picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip, took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and adjusted his mentality.

The battle to save the bald man was about to begin!

Wu Wang enveloped the mist in his spiritual platform with his divine sense, using the power of this treasure to observe the situation in Yang Wudi's divine mansion.

There, the black qi had already eroded more than half of the area.

Yang Wudi's divine soul was struggling, and Qiong Qi transformed into various illusions, constantly launching attacks on Yang Wudi's divine soul.

There was no time to lose!

'This treasure... can change its appearance at will.'

Wu Wang brought the treasure from his spiritual platform and countless thoughts crossed his mind.

What would be the best transformation?

It would be best to scare Qiong Qi and also be in line with the Dao rhyme of the Gate of the Netherworld.

Got it!

...

"Wudi, do you desire these things?"

"Why should you be controlled by others? You are your own master, and you are their master."

"Wudi... Wudi?"

Yang Wudi's divine soul silently shed two tears.

The sect master, he really couldn't hold on anymore!

After all, this was the Evil God, and he, Yang Wudi, was just a simple and honest True Immortal at the peak of the realm.

Yang Wudi could already clearly feel the evil thoughts in his heart, the heart of destruction, and the impulse that contained countless negative emotions, about to erupt like a volcano.

He really had no choice...

"Tsk."

A light laughter suddenly sounded in Yang Wudi's divine mansion.

The divine mansion, the residence of the divine soul transformed from the spiritual platform after becoming an immortal, is also called the Purple Mansion.

The sudden laughter not only almost broke the tense string in Yang Wudi's heart, but also startled Qiong Qi.

"Who?"

Qiong Qi's phantom appeared above Yang Wudi's divine soul, pressing down on the little bald head of Yang Wudi's divine soul. Its crimson beast eyes looked towards a corner of the divine mansion.

In this corner, a gray cloud suddenly dispersed, and in that cloud, it seemed like a giant beast was awakening and moving forward.

The ancient and desolate Dao rhyme spread in Yang Wudi's divine mansion.

Qiong Qi's eyes were full of vigilance, its wings raised, and its eyes focused, staring at the gray mist.

In the mist, two lantern-like eyes flickered with light.

The laughter sounded again, with a hint of disdain, curiosity, and playfulness.

Qiong Qi coldly said, "May I know who the distinguished guest is?"

"Me?"

That old, rough, and somewhat weak voice came from the gray mist.The gray mist suddenly drifted forward, its strands of aura flipping outward, unexpectedly condensing into a ferocious dragon head. The sharp horns on its forehead were unparalleled, its long mouth full of fine scales and interlocking sharp teeth, a few dragon whiskers gently flipping.

Qiong Qi breathed a sigh of relief, this was not an existence he couldn't understand.

Unexpectedly...

The dragon head suddenly collapsed, the gray mist changed again, vaguely revealing the outline of a human body with a snake tail.

"I've almost forgotten what they called me. I've awakened many times, perhaps, you recognize this form of mine."

The shadow of Qiong Qi immediately retreated half a claw's distance.

Seeing this, Wu Wang's heart was greatly settled. The gray mist began to circle around Qiong Qi, the residual Dao rhyme of the Netherworld Gate becoming increasingly rich.

This scene was very much like the shadow of Qiong Qi circling around Yang Wudi's soul.

The gray mist changed again, revealing the vague form of an eight-clawed creature.

"Or perhaps, you recognize this form of mine."

The gray mist collapsed again, within it floated two balls of orange-red light, indescribable and formless.

There was a profound sound of the Dao, and a vague Dao rhyme.

A few breaths later, the gray mist gathered into a ball, condensing into the form of an old man, with a dragon head circling around him.

The old man was looking at Qiong Qi, and Qiong Qi was also looking at the old man.

The old man slowly said, "Heavenly Palace?"

Qiong Qi frowned at the old man, his body's shadow quietly changing, transforming into the form of a middle-aged man, standing with his hands behind him, looking at the old man transformed by Wu Wang.

"Who exactly are you..."

"You don't need to know."

Wu Wang was fully transmitting his divine thoughts and the Dao rhyme of the Netherworld Gate, and said indifferently, "This child, I still have use for him."

"Your Excellency," Qiong Qi's eyes revealed a hint of ferocity, "According to the rules, I shouldn't snatch your servant, but at the very least, you should reveal your name.

Otherwise, there's no reason for me to spit out the meat that's already in my mouth."

"Those who can't recognize my Dao, still want to hear my name?"

Wu Wang didn't say much, just looked at Qiong Qi.

Yang Wudi's soul was trembling on the side, this soul tightly closed its eyes, not daring to move.

Finally, Qiong Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a few steps back.

"It's just a servant, what's the harm in giving him to you?"

But Wu Wang did not relax his guard.

Qiong Qi was cunning, and although he seemed to be retreating now, he might not actually be retreating, but instead might be testing the waters.

Wu Wang steadied his mind, waited for the right moment, and when Qiong Qi was about to stop retreating, he slowly said:

"Those who have passed away return, heaven and earth break; the emperor is not the emperor, the Dao has no king."

These words!

The seal of the Heavenly Palace is about to break, and the expelled spirits are returning?

Qiong Qi held his breath, his eyes wide open, looking at the old man with full apprehension, and even made a Daoist salute in the distance.

It bowed its head and turned around, its shadow dissipated into a cloud of black mist, flew straight out of Yang Wudi's divine mansion, came out of Yang Wudi's nostrils, and returned to the body of the female Heavenly Immortal.

Yang Wudi's body had unknowingly collapsed on the ground, convulsing continuously.

Qiong Qi stared at Yang Wudi, his eyes flickering, and said indifferently, "Secretly send him away, arrange a quiet place for him to recuperate, without my permission, no one is allowed to touch him."

The old woman in the splendid dress was full of confusion, but she didn't dare to ask half a word, and immediately got up and walked to Yang Wudi's side.

Inside Yang Wudi's divine mansion.

The gray mist had returned to its original form, quietly floating in the corner of the divine mansion; the profound and obscure Dao rhyme just now had also disappeared without a trace.

Yang Wudi's soul was dazed, staring at the gray mist, the words he had just heard, most of which he could not understand.

However, one thing, Yang Wudi had completely figured out.

He had said it long ago!

An Evil God is not as terrifying as a sect master!

This... is unbeatable.
