Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 571 571: 570 Greed

In Zhou Bai's room.

Zhou Bai lay on the bed and casually said, "They actually didn't call you to the stage."

Qian Wangsun stood by the window, shaking his head, "I guess they've noticed something. They might eliminate me at the last moment. That way, even if I see something on the Emperor's Sword, it'd be too late to do anything."

"Truly watertight."

Qian Wangsun turned his head and pointed towards his forehead, "What exactly is this artifact inside my sea of consciousness? Why... do I feel that I absolutely cannot do without it, there won't be any side effects, right?"

"No, no," Zhou Bai said, "Just a little bit of greed is all, as long as it doesn't erupt, there's absolutely no problem."

Qian Wangsun heard the hidden meaning in Zhou Bai's words: "What if it does erupt?"

Zhou Bai's facial expression slowly faded: "Who knows?"

"Humans, once they fall into the abyss of greed, can do anything."

"How crazy it can get, even I can't predict."

"Even something meant to purify the world and maintain the environment can become a malevolent object that spreads fear and madness in their hands."

"Just like reptiles crawling on the ground, moving towards the ultimate madness."

Qian Wangsun frowned slightly, "Zhou Bai, your tone is kinda scaring me."

"Hahaha." Zhou Bai ruffled his hair, "I'm just saying, don't mind it, don't mind it. After all, the artifact I gave you, you just use it with confidence; there's definitely no problem."

Qian Wangsun looked at Zhou Bai's kindly and friendly expression and nodded slightly, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now, I'm going to rest."

...

Inside the construction site.

Hai Yi looked at the situation in front of him and felt worried.

If "The Buried Beauty" continues to spread at this rate, the immortals will eventually come to know of it; by then… would the artifact still belong to them?

Xiang Tong spoke up, "Let's go up and ask, is there any other way to offer a little less filth every day?"

Hai Yi nodded, indeed that was the urgent matter at hand.

But at that moment, someone had already taken the initiative and walked up, looking at the viscous liquid on the wall, holding back revulsion, "Please... is there any way to reduce the daily offering time?"

He spoke with a hint of panic, "I'm not saying we're not going to offer anymore... it's just that, the time it takes each day is too much. Is there... is there a more convenient way?"

The silent wall, coated in black viscous fluid, remained motionless, as if it had no intention of responding to him.

The man immediately lowered his head, his face a portrait of disappointment and indecision, "I understand, I will continue to offer every day..."

Just then, a young voice emerged from the wall: "Try something else."

In an instant, the whole space went silent, as if even the air had frozen.

After a moment, someone said, "That just now... was that a voice from 'The Buried Beauty'?"

"Try something else? What does that mean?"

For a time, everyone's thoughts diverged, entertaining various possibilities.

They looked at each other, and it seemed they could sense each other's excitement and caution.

Hai Yi patted Xiang Tong's shoulder, "Let's go."

On the way back, they couldn't wait to discuss, "Try something else... what does that mean? Could it mean offering something else?"

Hai Yi took out a bottle of pills, "Let's try and see."

Watching the pills disappear, excitement shone on both their faces, "It's possible... No problem... We can replace the filth with other things!"

Thinking of not having to spend hours upon hours in the sewers, Xiang Tong's face immediately eased, "We're saved!"

"Yes," Hai Yi nodded and released a ring from his sea of consciousness, his hands touching his ring, his face showing a satisfied and happy smile.

Using the ring to enhance his cultivation, he found that his years-old bottleneck seemed to be loosening and he seemed to gain new insight into the Taoist martial arts. He felt waves of warm power coming from the ring, giving him the confidence to face any challenge.

"In this case... perhaps I could break through to 70% Daoization soon and enter the seventh realm!"

...

On the fifth day of the Daluo Heaven debate, Hai Yi drew an opponent who was also of the sixth realm.

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Hai Yi smiled slightly, "Xu Yan, it's been a while since we've sparred; I wonder if you've made any progress."

The other party sneered coldly, "Hai Yi, I've already heard from the teachers in Dao Academy, you've stopped progressing a long time ago, you have come to the end of your path of cultivation, while I am just beginning."

"You're eliminated, the future belongs to me!"

Hai Yi retorted, "Then try me!"

In the next moment, the two clashed, and with the help of his Primordial Spirit Armor, Hai Yi easily gained the upper hand, crushing his opponent with the disparity in their Primordial Spirit power.

He sent his opponent flying with a bang, followed by a sprint and a chase, beating him like a ball.

'Didn't you want to surpass me?'

'Wanted to replace me?'

'Talking all the time about how your talent is better than mine... that I was just born a few years earlier...'

'Now let's see you surpass me!'

Inside his sea of consciousness, Primal Spirit power flowed continually into and out of his Primordial Spirit Armor, taking on an even more formidable stance.

Under the enhancement of the Primordial Spirit Armor, Hai Yi felt he could easily do things he previously thought impossible.

Like defeating the rival who had always followed closely behind him.

This feeling was deeply satisfying.

Bang!

With one palm pressing on his opponent's head, knocking him to the ground, looking at his opponent passed out, Hai Yi smiled as he walked out of the Daluo Heaven dimension.

"Hai Yi, you've improved so much."

"At this rate, you're about to break through the seventh realm, aren't you?"

"You might even make it into the top ten this time."

Hai Yi responded with a smile to each, but he could also see a few familiar immortals lurking in the shadows, looking at him with strange eyes; they were the same ones who had received the Primordial Spirit Armor.

Hai Yi looked at the Primordial Spirit Armor within his sea of consciousness, vowing in his heart: 'I will never let you be taken back.'

That night, Hai Yi and Xiang Tong performed the offering together. After he sacrificed pills worth nearly 20,000 points from his own inventory, he felt a wave of joy from the Primordial Spirit Armor, indicating the completion of today's offering.

On the other hand, Xiang Tong's expression was one of hesitant indecision, staring motionlessly at a flying sword in hand.

Hai Yi inquired, "What's the matter, Xiang Tong?"
