Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 461 - 307: Volunteering for Duty_2

It was as if Su Jie had activated his Primordial Spirit Heavenly Eye, creating a few centimeters wide crack between the Tao River and the present world, allowing the aura of the Tao to flow into the world, taking control of the spiritual energy of a region.

But a Great Taoist Formation was even more exaggerated. They were not just creating a crack but were digging a breach in the Tao River to let the Tao crash into the present world.

Once successfully cast, its power could rival that of a major natural disaster. The Mountain Protection Array of Ghost Ridge Palace would definitely not hold, and who knew how many disciples within Ghost Ridge Palace would die or be injured – it would be normal if only one in ten survived.

"These Righteous sect scum, always spouting benevolence and righteousness, preaching about exorcising demons and defending the Tao, but in the end, they still rely on capturing human slaves as sacrifices for their arrays,"

Taoist Qiu sneered twice. He never hid his malevolence, unlike those Righteous Sects who behaved one way on the surface and another behind closed doors, which he disdained.

"Sect Master, we must guard against the Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array. We cannot allow Guan Chao Pavilion to succeed in its deployment."

An Elder voiced his concern. Even if they repelled the siege, if the Taoist Formation destroyed the mountain gates of Ghost Ridge Palace, ruining centuries of foundation in an instant, it would be a loss Ghost Ridge Palace could not afford.

"A Taoist Formation of this level requires extremely high demands to deploy. They are unlikely to manage it in a short time, but to be on the safe side, we still cannot let them succeed,"

Zhang Junwei nodded slightly. The Great Taoist Formation was definitely bad news for Ghost Ridge Palace.

"Indeed, we cannot leave such a hidden danger as the Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array, a Taoist Formation of this caliber."

Su Jie spoke up in agreement, fearing that if Guan Chao Pavilion really succeeded, he would be left homeless.

"Who is willing to deal with the Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array? There's no need to completely destroy it, just delay its completion until after our decisive battle with the Righteous Sect, when all is settled down."

Zhang Junwei looked towards the Elders present, and the atmosphere became slightly tense.

A Taoist Formation like the Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array was surely a heavily guarded vital point for Guan Chao Pavilion, and undertaking this mission was extremely risky, likely to result in no return.

"Su Jie, since you were the one who discovered the Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array, are you willing to undertake this mission?"

Su Jie wasn't keen on standing out, but now his name was directly called by Zhang Junwei.

"Sect Master, Su Jie has just been through a tough battle; his physical and spiritual power haven't yet recovered. It's too dangerous for him to take on this mission,"

Taoist Qiu hurriedly interjected, not wanting his prized disciple to come to harm.

"Taoist Qiu, I'm not sending your disciple to his death. Su Jie is Ghost Ridge Palace's Immortal Seed, and I'm not so unkind."

Zhang Junwei shook his head and explained, "Now, you are the only one in our Sect who has come into contact with the aura of the Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array. You also possess a Primordial Spirit, enabling you to quickly locate the precise position of the Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array.

Furthermore, you don't need to destroy the Array. The Righteous Sects have captured many commonfolk to act as sacrifices, right? You just need to kill all of their sacrifices, then they'll naturally have difficulty in successfully deploying the Great Taoist Formation. That alone will be sufficient. Killing a bunch of commoners shouldn't be a problem for you."

Zhang Junwei laid out his thoughts.

A Tao Level Array is not something that can be constructed using just spiritual materials and spirit stones. Since it touches upon the Tao Domain, it is inseparably linked to time-space, causality, life and death, and reincarnation.

To successfully deploy such an Array is like solving a world-class mathematical problem, requiring the calculations of hundreds of Array Masters, and ultimately, at the right moment, successfully deploying the Taoist Formation.

Even so, such Taoist Formations are very dangerous because the Tao is not something you can utilize whenever you want.

An ordinary Primordial Spirit can barely look directly at the Tao River for a few seconds, as insignificant as a microbe within it, let alone use the Tao as a weapon to destroy enemies.

It's like a three-year-old child trying to lift a rock heavier than they can bear, easily inviting backlash from the Heavenly Dao, assuming causality, and causing their own downfall.

Guan Chao Pavilion captured the commonfolk to bear the causality, hoping to lessen their own backlash.

If those acting as sacrifices were slain, unless Guan Chao Pavilion was willing to fill the gap with the lives of their tens of thousands of disciples, they would not be able to initiate the Great Taoist Formation.

"I am honored that the Sect Master has such high regard for me; I accept this mission."

With everything said, Su Jie bowed, signifying his willingness to take on the task.

However, in Su Jie's view, this mission wasn't about how many civilians he could kill. He had some tricks up his sleeve, which might allow him to destroy the Great Taoist Formation more conveniently.

Seeing Su Jie accept the task, Taoist Qiu's eyes twitched slightly, realizing that there was no longer any possibility of backing out.

"Choose a few Elders to coordinate with you; it will be safer that way."

Zhang Junwei pointed to the several Elders beside him. The designated Elders mostly had difficulty written on their faces, clearly not willing to get involved in this exceedingly dangerous mission.

"Sect Master, I'll go."

Taoist Qiu volunteered. Su Jie was his disciple; he couldn't just watch Su Jie jump into the fire pit.

"Sect Master, I don't need these people. The more we are, the easier our actions will be exposed. Instead of them, how about giving me a thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones, I'll use them to enhance myself, making me more confident in completing the task."

Su Jie didn't choose anyone but instead asked for Spirit Stones.

A Top Grade Spirit Stone was worth a thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones, so a thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones meant a wealth of a million Spirit Stones.

Hearing Su Jie's words, Zhang Junwei was slightly taken aback. Even at this juncture, Su Jie was still preoccupied with Spirit Stones.

However, compared to the expected gains from destroying the Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array, these thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones really weren't much at all.

Therefore, after seconds of contemplation, Zhang Junwei decided to motivate Su Jie and promptly took out more than a thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones, handing them to Su Jie himself.

"Here are a thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones. Do a good job, and when you come back, I will reward you accordingly."

Zhang Junwei patted Su Jie on the shoulder; those above had their ways of incentivizing.

"Sabotage is my forte. With me around, their Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array will definitely not succeed."

Su Jie was brimming with confidence, assuring Zhang Junwei.

"Then I'll leave everything in your hands. I'll be waiting for the good news."

Zhang Junwei, being in the Taoist Platform Realm, still believed in Su Jie's strength. Having killed two from the Secret Realm, Su Jie was strong enough. He thought that even if Su Jie couldn't manage it, with the mobility of the Thousand-Handed Centipede, unless pursued by five or six from the Secret Realm, Su Jie could escape even if he couldn't win.

After giving a few more instructions to Su Jie, Zhang Junwei left with the group of Elders.

"You, you, you could have clearly refused just now. Why did you agree so quickly?"

Taoist Qiu hadn't left; instead, he glared at Su Jie with a look of disappointment and frustration.

Being very protective, he naturally did not want Su Jie to go on an adventure.

"Teacher, what the Sect Master said makes sense. I am the most suitable for this task,"

Su Jie delightedly counted the thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones, his face unable to suppress a smile.

It was rare to extort such a large sum from Ghost Ridge Palace. If not for the importance of the Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array, Su Jie couldn't possibly have obtained such immense wealth from a single request.

In Su Jie's sleeve, the Thousand-Handed Centipede also quietly crawled out. Seeing those Spirit Energy-rich Top Grade Spirit Stones, its eyes lit up, eagerly wanting to devour them.

"Still coveting money now, if you die young because of these thousand stones, what use will all your wealth be?"

Seeing both man and creature so greedy, Taoist Qiu's mouth twitched—Su Jie clearly hadn't taken any of his words to heart!

"Money is absolutely necessary, of course, but life is also very important. I definitely can't bear to die before spending all the money I earn."

Su Jie chuckled, caressing the cold Insect Shell of the Thousand-Handed Centipede, considering which parts of the centipede to enhance with these hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones.

As for how to destroy the Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array, Su Jie already had some ideas, but he would still need to assess the situation on-site.

"I don't know who you've been learning from. Everyone seems to value money over their lives."

Taoist Qiu sighed helplessly, hoping that nothing untoward would happen on this journey.

He had only this one Immortal Seed disciple in his lifetime. If he were to experience the grief of the elder burying the younger, he didn't know if he could bear it.
