Chapter 687: Absolutely No Leaks

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Black Robe hung up Hook’s call, he pondered for a moment before spreading out his robe and disappearing from the villa.

The next moment, he appeared in mid-air, then rose to the sky and flew to the moon.

Looking at the far North, under the Lunaette, a huge dumb bear stood in the Arctic ocean while holding up a huge piece of land

This bear was already the most prominent landmark on Earth. The Great Wall and Mount Everest could not compare at all...

Astronauts in the space station orbiting the Earth could see it clearly every day...

That stupid bear was currently bleary-eyed. No one knew when it would tip over to the deep ocean beneath its feet.

If such a thing happened, it would surely be another natural disaster that would affect the entire world.

Seeing this, Black Robe shook his head. Until now, he still did not understand the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom. How could a bear be counted on to hold up the gigantic Lunaette...

Even if this was a huge Inland-Sea Level bear, it was impossible for it to have this magical energy.

Thus, after seeing the Devil Saint Master, he could not help but ask this question.

“Master, when I came here this time, I saw that stupid bear again. It has been supporting the sky for nearly a year, and it seems it’s almost exhausted. Would there be any hidden dangers?”

At this moment, Devil Saint Zhi Nan was in a wooden cottage on the Lunaette, fiddling with some balls on a table.

Those balls were suspended half a meter from the table. He seemed to be conducting some kind of celestial experiment...

Hearing this, he smiled faintly and shook his head, “Looks like you’re the same as the others. You’ve all fallen for the same mistake. You were all confused by appearances...”

“Huh? Master, what do you mean?” Black Robe frowned.

“Haha, in fact, that bear isn’t lifting, but pulling.” Zhi Nan suddenly revealed, “If you learn more astrophysics, you’ll understand that if there’s no extra attractive force, the Lunaette will only be thrown out instead of being nailed securely near the Earth as it is now. It’s like an umbrella covering the Earth. The bear is actually playing the role of the umbrella handle. I think it’ll be quite hard on it in the future.”

“Hiss... so that’s it. I wondered how it could have such huge strength. Master’s wisdom is indeed far-reaching. I think you’re the only person on Earth who can see through this. Even that Vigilante A won’t understand it.” Black Robe suddenly realized.

“However, this bear is indeed quite strong. To be able to provide this kind of additional tractive force is not a small feat. Compared to his body that has accumulated a wealth of Heavenly Merit, it will definitely be untainted and share in the Heavenly Axiom. The suffering it’s going through is something that many in the Upper Realm seek but fail to obtain, hmph.” Zhi Nan suddenly scoffed.

“Master, I have something to report.” Black Robe then spoke about the Magical Provenance.

“Oh, what you said was mostly correct. However, there’s more to Vigilante A’s motive for doing this. His eyes are also far-sighted. You should know that the vitality in this world would one day be exhausted.” Zhi Nan lightly said.

“Yes, Master is currently planning for this matter. It’s ridiculous that those pedantic people will only stick to the division between right and evil, and don’t even consider such a far-reaching event.” Black Robe said indignantly.

Zhi Nan was the Saint among the devils. The reason why he could become a Saint was naturally because of his path and his set of ideals.

If one only knew how to kill and indulge in lowly sensory enjoyments, it was the lowest realm in the path of devils.

“Yes. Zhi Nan nodded, “At first I wanted to introduce everyone to the Paradise Realm to save vitality consumption and buy some time. However, that boulder Vigilante A blocked my path, so I had to find another method to use this world’s energy and convert that into vitality.

“However, he also saw this layer now, and painstakingly derived the Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique. It’s wondrous, even fools can cultivate it. An important mechanism was to convert food into magical energy. Magical energy itself is just a highly purified form of vitality. As such, when the last days of the era come, top practitioners can at least rely on civilians converting magical energy to survive...”

“I see. It’s no wonder that Master was so impressed by this technique back then. So it was just different means of achieving the same end.” Black Robe suddenly understood that what Vigilante A was doing was the same as his Master.

Both of them were transforming the energy of this world into the mysterious vitality.

“However, he’s still too far behind Master. One is at heaven and the other is on earth. The energy of food ultimately comes from the sun. However, Master’s comes directly from the root.” Black Robe complimented.

“Haha, we’re actually equally matched. However, I’m taking into account the big picture, while he’s handling the small. We’re still fumbling about on our path, but his path has already been realized. When I descended, I already calculated that he’ll be my rival in the future. Even if he rejects all sorts of things in his heart, we will eventually coincide on specific actions.” Zhi Nan smiled faintly.

“Ah, Master is right.” Although Black Robe was not used to Vigilante A, at least that person was not someone who said something and did another.

In his memories, practitioners from the Upper Realm were all quick to kill off devils using their mouths, but they made all sorts of deals with the devils in private, such as seeking benefits, framing opponents, and getting someone else to do the dirty work. Compared to devils, their methods were far worse.

Zhi Nan pondered and then ordered, “That America Special Affairs Investigation Bureau Director has been developing a mysterious arcane realm for a long time. There’s something strange about that arcane realm. There seems to be a portal that can directly link to Mars. It’ll be of great use to our plans in the future. I’ve calculated that the time for it to be fully open has come. Think of a way to obtain it.”

Black Robe immediately cupped his hands in obeisance and said respectfully, “Understood.”

“Right, Vigilante A is definitely the biggest variable. You must pay extra attention and make sure that he has no excuse or reason to intervene.” Zhi Nan repeatedly warned.

“Yes, Master.” Although Black Robe agreed, his heart felt incredibly gloomy.

‘When will Master finally regain the great skills in my memories?

‘If Master simply recovered one of those skills, Vigilante A would no longer be a boulder blocking his path, but merely Sun Wukong underneath the Marble Mountains.

‘At that time, he’ll be able to show off his strength and use his position to bully others... no, to hold his head high. He won’t have to hold back all the time and exercise so much caution as he’s doing now.’

“Alright, you can leave.” Zhi Nan waved his hand and continued to fiddle with the balls above the table.

Black Robe obediently withdrew.

If you cooperated with the devil, you would naturally be watched by the devil. No one would get away.

...

New Netherlands, in the America Special Affairs Investigation Bureau building.

Hook smashed the table violently, flipped it over, and cursed to the high heavens. In the end, everything really was in vain. It was incredibly frustrating.

A “bang” echoed loudly in the office as the table broke apart and office utensils scattered all over the floor.

“Damn it, how did he do it? The Devil Saint’s servant said it himself, so there shouldn’t be any falsehood.” Director Hook was full of anger, and that anger was directed at his own incompetence.

Not so long ago, America had been an existence that other countries looked up to. The other countries could only imitate slavishly and follow behind to decipher it.

However, now, he could not even decipher another person.

He pondered before once again making a call and beginning to make arrangements.

He did not believe that he would not be able to touch the other party’s secrets. Was the other party’s interior a metal block? According to his experience, it was impossible.

Vigilante A now had a large number of staff members. There were hundreds of thousands of people directly working for him, and perhaps even millions working indirectly.

Of course, there were only ten or so core confidants, plus most of them were animals...

He did not believe that he could not corrupt a few of them to be his insiders...

As for the cultivation of internal spies through corruption, if America said they ranked number two in the world, no one would dare to say they were number one.

He had barely finished arranging this when he received a secret call.

“Mr. Director, there’s been a breakthrough in the development of the exclusive arcane realm in our country. We’ve fully mastered the method of entering and exiting. The potential of this arcane realm is stunning and can definitely make America rise again and stand on top of the world in the new era...”

“Hahaha, brilliant!” Hook smashed his fist again. Earlier, it had been out of anger, but now there was good news. It really comforted him.

“You must keep this matter highly confidential, especially the method of entering and exiting, and the specific location. Under no circumstances must you disclose it. If there’s a leak, military law will be invoked!”
