If he could join the powerful sects like the Three Palaces and Six Sects, he would not be interested in the Yin-Yang Mirror. Luo Xiu guessed that among the Three Palaces and Six Sects, there might be many secret manuals that were comparable to the Lunar True Scripture.
It was meaningless to let his imagination run wild. Luo Xiu walked out of his yard, came to the street, and found a tavern to sit down. While eating something, he also inquired about the conversations of the people around him. For him, obtaining enough information was the problem that he urgently needed to solve.
After all, the old guy Tian Xuan had been hiding in Hao Yue City for more than a thousand years, so he did not know much about the big and small things that happened in the outside world. It could be said that he had been separated from the mainstream world. He had to familiarize himself with the situation of this world in the shortest time possible to see if there was a chance to join the nine great influences, or to see how the situation would develop in the future from this rotten situation.
Because from the memory he had obtained, whether it was the Guangling Sect, Xuandu Mountain, Five Sacred Sects, Six Dao Sects, Netherworld Devil Sect, or Divine Demon Sect, all of them had super masters. More importantly, for countless eras, the Green Cloud Great World had reached a more prosperous time for cultivation. After countless years, it would only decline. More importantly, the Green Cloud Great World was facing threats from other planes.
If it were not for the Way of Heaven Barrier, which could prevent most people from entering their world, the Green Cloud Great World would be even more chaotic. This kind of plane war, which was exclusive to the higher planes, could not be compared to the direct physical passage through the space channel. Only a small number of super experts at the Sage Realm had the ability to pass through the space barrier.
While listening to the gossip of the people in the tavern, Luo Xiu began to think about what he should do next. But at this moment, he knew that there was no hope for him to just wait here.
Even though he knew that the current Hao Yue City had already become an official existence that many forces had to accept, Hao Yue City wouldn't undergo too many changes in a short period of time. This made him scratch his head in silence, and at the same time, he deeply realized that Hao Yue City would be as peaceful as before for a very long time.
This situation was very advantageous for Luo Xiu. After all, he had so much more time for cultivation and a very safe cultivation environment. But thinking of the Yin-Yang Mirror, Luo Xiu was full of contradictions. All kinds of messy thoughts appeared in his mind. He was not interested in doing other things at all.
And more importantly, Luo Xiu did not dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. The existence of Immortal Hao Yue could completely block all crises. Waiting in Hao Yue City and looking for an opportunity was the most helpless choice.
This was because he was very sure that True Lord Hao Yue's current cultivation was far beyond anyone's imagination. The terrifying battle prowess of someone who had cultivated the Lunar Scripture to the extreme was something that he had never carefully considered before. Judging from the time this old man had spent immersed himself in the Lunar Scripture, this old man's strength could absolutely crush the majority of existences at the same level.
However, just as Luo Xiu was about to stand up and pay the bill, he suddenly sat down again. This was because he had actually heard something that he was interested in from the two little demons. As a result, Luo Xiu was no longer as anxious as before. Instead, because of the words of the two little demons, he seemed to have gained a lot of patience. He wanted to get more information about the specific situation from the two little demons.
"Brother Tiger, are you sure your information is accurate? If that's the case, then our chances are much higher. Who would have thought that the Thousand Devil Heavenly King would be so bold? The Thousand Devil Heavenly King is one of the strongest Heavenly Monsters in our Monster Clan. Are you sure you're not joking with me?"
One of the Fox Demons, who had the appearance of a middle-aged scholar, looked at the stocky man in front of him and asked.
"No, my information can't be false, because it was told by the elder of my clan, and the Heavenly King of Demons didn't refute it. At that time, I was hiding in a corner of the cave, and the other members of my clan were all knocked out by the Heavenly King of Demons. I was the only one who didn't faint, so I overheard the conversation between the elder and the Heavenly King of Demons. That's how I learned the secrets of the Heavenly King of Demons. Back then, the Heavenly King of Demons had talked about this before, but I was too young to understand what they meant. However, the Heavenly King of Demons had indeed not made any progress in his cultivation for more than three thousand years because of his cultivation method. In these thousand years, he had always wanted to change his cultivation method, and Hao Yue Sage's Lunar Scripture was his first choice, because the Lunar Scripture was more than eighty percent similar to the inheritance of his original body, so there wouldn't be too much of a problem if he switched to the Lunar Scripture. Therefore, it's very likely that he would make a move on Hao Yue City, and I believe that it won't take too long. The Heavenly King of Demons is showing signs of Deva's Decay. If we can't solve his problem soon, he will lose the chance to struggle once his spiritual energy runs out!"
The tall and sturdy Tiger Clan man had an indignant expression on his face. The gloating tone in his voice was extremely obvious. At the same time, he was also bragging. When the two of them said those words, they completely ignored the astonished gazes from the surroundings.
If it were any other human cultivator, they would've set up an isolation formation around themselves to discuss such matters in public. Perhaps, they wouldn't dare to publicize such a secret in front of so many people.
As for the two little demons, although their voices were not loud, everyone present was a cultivator, so they all heard the conversation between the two. However, because the two demon cultivators were not very strong, everyone who heard the conversation thought that the two were bragging.
Therefore, other than Luo Xiu, they did not attract too much attention. However, Luo Xiu became popular. From the memories of Daoist Tianxuan, Luo Xiu knew about the sphere of influence in this area. Although he had not left Hao Yue City for thousands of years and did not know much about the situation in the outside world, Luo Xiu knew about the origins of the Ten Thousand Demons Heavenly King.
Legend had it that the Ten Thousand Demons Heavenly King was not a Great Demon born and bred in this territory, but had come from somewhere else. As for whether he had a strong backer, Luo Xiu did not know. He only knew that the Golden-winged Roc was indeed extremely valiant. Ever since he came to this area, he quickly became the leader of all the Demon Clans. Furthermore, over the years, no Great Demon dared to challenge his authority.
Recalling his understanding of the Ten Thousand Demons Heavenly King, Luo Xiu listened to the two demons bragging. Soon, the two demons left the tavern under the disdainful eyes of the crowd. Luo Xiu also paid the bill and left.
However, he did not follow the two demonic cultivators. Instead, he directly returned to his residence. He knew that there was no smoke without fire. Obviously, the Golden-winged Roc was plotting against Immortal Hao Yue. Given the means of the Ten Thousand Demons Heavenly King, it was impossible for him to be so careless.
It was very likely that the Tiger Clan Demon Cultivator relied on some inside information and wanted to brag that he knew too many things. As for Luo Xiu, he saw an opportunity from it, and it could even be said that he saw an opportunity to seize the Yin Yang Mirror.
Luo Xiu knew that once he obtained the Yin-Yang Mirror and refined it into his Natal Celestial Device, he would be able to combine Yin and Yang and mobilize the Innate Purple Qi in his body. After a long period of accumulation, he would naturally become a Sage. At that time, with his terrifying strength, he would absolutely be able to do whatever he wanted in this world. Thinking of this, Luo Xiu could not help but feel excited.
In the following days, because of the words of the two Demonic Beasts, Luo Xiu began to pay attention to the abnormalities in the entire Hao Yue City. He wanted to find clues from the various large and small forces that entered and exited Hao Yue City, and he also wanted to use the system in his mind to help him analyze the movements of all the forces. During this period of time, Luo Xiu was extremely busy. Not only did he have to find things that could help him from these large and small cities, he also had to constantly be on guard against possible attacks from other forces.
During Luo Xiu's closed-door training, although the overall environment of Hao Yue City was very good, it was, after all, a cultivation civilization. How could there be no killings? Therefore, after these days of exploration and investigation, Luo Xiu more or less found some clues. At the same time, because of his carelessness, Luo Xiu more or less suffered some crises. Many times, it was others who took the initiative to come to him.
At the same time, Luo Xiu didn't kill them. Instead, he directly handed them over to the city guards. At the same time, he gained some fame in this area. He also found some clever people and asked them to guard the four city gates. They observed the practitioners coming and going to see if they had any distinctive features.
Time passed slowly. It had been more than half a year since Luo Xiu learned about the possible attack of the Ten Thousand Demons Heavenly King in the tavern. Just when Luo Xiu thought it was a mistake, one of his subordinates suddenly rushed over and reported a very exciting news. At the south gate, more than ten great demons had come to Hao Yue City together.
After hearing this news, Luo Xiu couldn't hold back anymore. He directly called back the practitioners at the other three city gates and got the latest information from them. Especially when he combined it with the monitoring of the system, Luo Xiu also found something unusual. Obviously, the Ten Thousand Demons Heavenly King was preparing to attack and had gathered all the powerful practitioners in the nearby areas.
This made Luo Xiu's face flush red. He quickly dismissed his subordinates. Although they were recruited at the last minute, he didn't want them to take unnecessary risks. Therefore, in the following days, Luo Xiu constantly paid attention to the movements in the city. At the same time, the system provided him with too much help, allowing him to rest easy and be ready to intervene at any time. The opportunity to fish in troubled waters was right in front of him, so how could Luo Xiu give it up?
The Ten Thousand Demons Heavenly King was indeed a powerful figure of the Demon Tribe. He was not as patient as Luo Xiu had imagined. On the twelfth day after this person entered the city, he found some clues. Luo Xiu found that there were many concealing formations in the surrounding areas. Even Luo Xiu's small courtyard had traces of formations.
During this period of time, Luo Xiu had also started to make some preparations. Although he was very confident in his ability to move stealthily and had the Delimitation Compass, Luo Xiu wasn't worried that he would leave behind any spatial traces when traversing through the void.
When Luo Xiu found that the Demon Tribe knew how to set up formations to counter the Yin-Yang Reversal Formation in the Castellan Mansion, he knew that there must be other human forces behind this. Luo Xiu knew that he could not just sit and wait for death. He had to take the initiative to attack. Therefore, he left his residence and entered the area covered by the Yin-Yang Reversal Formation, looking for an opportunity to steal the Yin-Yang Yin Mirror.
Time passed slowly. During this period, Luo Xiu saw hope and became more patient. As for what would happen to Hao Yue City after the Yin-Yang Reversal Formation lost the Yin-Yang Yin Mirror, Luo Xiu was also worried. However, he found an alternative, which was to put a substitute refined by himself in the core of the formation. There was no big problem at all.
The reason why he put the Yin-Yang Yin Mirror in the core of the formation was that he wanted to refine the mirror himself. However, there were very powerful congenital inhibitions on the mirror. With his cultivation, it was impossible for him to refine this congenital treasure. Therefore, he had to rely on the enormous spiritual Qi gathered in Hao Yue City to wash away these congenital inhibitions.
Although he might have to take some risks by doing so, it was impossible for Luo Xiu to wait until chaos broke out before entering the City Lord's Mansion. At that time, this place would definitely be heavily guarded.
There were many advantages to entering the Castellan Mansion in advance, but it was also very dangerous. If Luo Xiu had not come here more than once to explore the Castellan Mansion, he would not have dared to take this risk.
Fortunately, because the subordinates of the Ten Thousand Demons Heavenly King had turned the entire Hao Yue City upside down, he was able to wait for the right opportunity. When he approached the area where the Yin-Yang Mirror was placed, before he could carefully explore the surrounding environment, he heard a series of fighting sounds. Moreover, it was a fight between two powerful existences. Luo Xiu slowly approached the area. When he saw the situation in front of him clearly, he was stunned on the spot.
In the hall where the Yin-Yang Yin Mirror was placed, a Golden-winged Roc with a human head and a human body, holding a Sky Piercer, was engaged in close combat with the Heavenly King of Hao Yue City. Due to the limited space here, the Heavenly King of Demons could not get rid of this Evil Beast. Luo Xiu was dumbfounded. He secretly shook his head with a wry smile. Who said the Heavenly King of Demons was just an egomaniac? This guy's calculation was even more terrible than Luo Xiu's imagination.
