Now.
Several days had passed.
In this chaotic outer realm, there were three lucky individuals who had won the top prize of the Cloud Star Dao Fruit. However, apart from the chubby young man, the other two were discovered, as expected.
Immediately, powerful beings became fervent, and a storm of activity arose, as if a new era was dawning upon this land.
"Even if the Saints don't act, it doesn't mean we can't. We must capture those two!"
"Other beings are also closing in!"
"That bloodline is simply against the heavens; it can actually manipulate other bloodlines! It's incredibly terrifying and malicious!"
"It's even more powerful than the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother's bloodline... because once this bloodline achieves enlightenment, it means it can unlock the bloodlines of other beings, allowing them to cultivate to the four-gene complete stage, condense Dao Seeds, and embark on the Tenth-Order path!"
"This bloodline can mass-produce Saints of the Tenth-Order path!"
All beings were extremely agitated.
The "advertisement" had also worked, attracting an increasing number of cultivators who swarmed in to fish.
Meanwhile, the Saints were also communicating.
"This kind of bloodline has actually appeared?"
"Is it perhaps the heaven-defying bloodline of the master of the ancient cave?"
"Not necessarily! It might have been hidden in a simple clay pot, perhaps just a food item from that great dwelling, much like how mortals enjoy storing fruit in earthenware jars."
"How terrifying! Even a stored fruit is such a heaven-defying sacred item! We, the Saints of later generations, are far inferior even to the bloodline of their food!"
"Have you checked? Are there any missing entities?"
"Of course, we've checked. The bloodline emerged from the clay pot. There are no other hidden or overlooked individuals. Our clones are stationed on the beach, observing those who fish. We've secretly calculated what they've obtained from their pots and sent people to probe their memories. There will be no omissions."
The Saints declared.
Naturally, they wouldn't allow any variables; they needed to confirm precisely what each person had obtained.
But they couldn't find the chubby young man.
His companions had stated that he opened an empty pot, and to ensure the veracity of their words, one of the Saints' enlightened disciples checked the memories of these god-level disciples, confirming that an empty pot had indeed been opened.
On the other side.
Previously, the Insect Race Sub-brain would rarely speak unless prompted by Xu Zhi, and it certainly wouldn't offer unsolicited comments on anything.
But now, it spoke up, which was rare. Clearly, the chubby young man's secret was terrifying, and he was incredibly adept at hiding... Akina Mountain Speed and others had deliberately used the Cloud Star Dao Fruit to set up a deadly trap, yet this individual had managed to seize an advantage and escape the trap?
At the same time, what the Insect Race Sub-brain said surprised Xu Zhi slightly:
Cutting time?
What does that mean?
A strange thought occurred to him:
Could it be that the individual's ability wasn't actually telekinesis to steal the Cloud Star Dao Fruit from the clay pot...
But that they were cutting time?!
Did they actually open the clay pot in front of everyone... but in the instant they opened it, amidst everyone's frustration, they immediately monopolized the treasure within, then cut away that segment of time... causing all other beings to lose their memory of that period?
They cut out an intermediate period of time, seamlessly connecting it to the moment the pot was opened, which created the illusion that nothing was inside after it was opened.
"Is this... possible?"
Xu Zhi got goosebumps all over. "It's not as simple as a telekinetic bloodline..."
It was time!
Time!
What kind of method is this, secretly cutting out a fragment of time?
"This is utterly... terrifying, isn't it?"
Xu Zhi took a deep breath, unable to help but swear.
Who could endure this?
It was simply horrifying.
This was even more disgusting than the Cloud Star Dao Fruit directly prying open your bloodline, modifying the foundation of your hard-earned perfected bloodline, and severing your path to the Grand Dao!
"This method is simply shameless."
Upon seeing this terrifying bloodline, Xu Zhi immediately thought, "This is like someone suddenly pinning you down and assaulting you, then cutting away that period of time... You're left completely bewildered, a segment of your timeline missing, so you don't even report it. In fact, you might even continue to chat cheerfully with the perpetrator. It's utterly chilling... This is practically the essential shameless method for committing evil, allowing them to roam freely. They'd be even more adept at cunning deception than even the Insect Mother Emperor!"
"Beast!"
Xu Zhi couldn't help but exclaim, finding this bloodline unimaginably depraved.
He looked at the originally lovable and honest chubby young man, and his perception instantly changed. He now saw the young man as shifty-eyed and extremely devious.
He carefully observed the chubby young man's several transcendent bloodlines but couldn't discern which one possessed the transcendent ability to manipulate time.
It wasn't among the first, second, or third... nor the new Cloud Star Dao Fruit bloodline...
"It's not among the four existing gene bloodlines. Does this individual also possess a hidden gene slot? A sixth bloodline, or perhaps a zero-th bloodline?" Xu Zhi shivered and looked at the amiable chubby young man, his thoughts racing. "This bloodline is terrifying to the extreme. Could this shameless chubby young man have an astonishing background?"
A sixth bloodline.
If true, this would be the first time Xu Zhi encountered another creature with a recessive bloodline, apart from the Insect Race.
"Indeed, the world is vast, full of wonders..."
Xu Zhi took a deep breath and softly said, "This place truly lives up to its reputation as the chaotic outer realm, the pinnacle of the universe, where the Grand Dao culminates... I never saw such things in the lower realms, but here, I've discovered a mysterious being."
Xu Zhi had known from the start that such an endeavor would definitely reel in a big fish!
Immortal Mansion of Longevity!
Daoist Residence Coeval with Heaven!
How could the "big fish" caught from this terrifying history not be immense?
But previously, in Xu Zhi's eyes, it was only limited to the Saints of this land. He hadn't expected to attract such unimaginable monstrous beings, which startled him.
Who knows what's hidden behind this chubby young man?
But why is his cultivation level so low?
A thought suddenly flashed through Xu Zhi's mind, and he couldn't help but say, "A multidimensional Saint?"
"Only multidimensional Saints, when they descend to other universes, need to transform into mortals, cultivate new rules, and re-cultivate everything from scratch..." Xu Zhi looked at the amiable chubby young man and felt a chill. Could it be that some powerful being from an outer universe was secretly cultivating here?
"Is it a multidimensional Saint?" Xu Zhi directly asked the Insect Race Sub-brain. "Is that why you rarely speak?"
"It is a multidimensional Saint."
The Insect Race Sub-brain responded with a mechanical voice, confirming:
"Such a great existence is difficult to detect. It has indeed infiltrated from a parallel universe... If the individual hadn't, unknowingly, succumbed to greed and secretly used their power within the Insect Race's protective shield... had they used it outside, the Insect Race would have found it almost impossible to detect."
"Don't assume multidimensional Saints are rare. They usually hide among ordinary Saints. Even the dozen or so we just encountered, or even the previous Nine-Headed Ancient Mother, could potentially be a multidimensional Saint in disguise. On the surface, they appear very ordinary, but they have their own identities and their own Heavenly Dao positions in this parallel universe..."
Xu Zhi listened, feeling uneasy.
He had thought this land of Saints was relatively ordinary, but perhaps it wasn't?
Because any land of Saints appears ordinary, precisely because the truly heaven-defying, even multidimensional Saints, are hidden within?
A seemingly unremarkable land might not be unremarkable at all.
"Hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The waters run terrifyingly deep."
Xu Zhi nodded, his eyes gleaming. "I knew from the beginning that these Saints, to reach this stage, must be incredibly cunning and calculating. But I never imagined they would be far more skilled at concealing themselves than I believed, competing to see who could hide the deepest."
Some were genuinely ordinary Saints, but others were not necessarily so...
"However, it's clear that the Nine-Headed Ancient Mother might have been a multidimensional Saint before, but isn't now, because our Insect Race has examined her body... But these individuals, who infiltrate, are taking advantage of our universe, acting as parasites, illicitly consuming our universe's benefits..."
Xu Zhi asked, "What would happen if we killed them?"
The Insect Race Sub-brain replied: "I advise the Insect Mother Emperor not to seek death. Such beings, even if currently hidden, or with sealed memories, or reincarnated for re-cultivation... they always have some hidden trump card."
"Every multidimensional Saint, when infiltrating another universe, must cross a vast Chaotic Sea, paying unimaginable costs and spending immense time, arriving by the slimmest of chances...
And after their descent, as they are about to approach the shores of the parallel universe, they are still sensed by the Saints within that parallel universe. Beyond the coast, they are ambushed and intercepted... During this process, there's a very high chance they will perish directly.
Even if they escape an initial ambush and interception, they can only then project a body of themselves, enter the universe to live anonymously, and re-cultivate....
During this period, the truly powerful Saints within the universe will also send disciples to the lower realms to find the reincarnation of this Saint and kill them directly....
They might even, to prevent any oversight, destroy all civilizations in that stellar region to eradicate the reincarnated Saint's body... Only after surviving all of this can the individual truly live in this universe."
Xu Zhi's mind reeled.
This... is too tragic?
But it was also to be expected.
These are public enemies; there's no room for negotiation.
This is a struggle across the multiverse. If you infiltrate a parallel universe to steal our universe's resources, rules, and Saint positions, there's no possibility of negotiation!
If one is discovered, they will certainly be fought to the death!
"It seems these multidimensional Saints are all trying to infiltrate here, infiltrate there... Perhaps some have already succeeded, even transforming into an unremarkable Saint, occupying a Grand Dao seat. As long as they don't truly act, no one can discern their true nature."
Xu Zhi found it utterly bizarre as he looked at the chubby young man, who was now fishing again on the beach with a sun umbrella over his head. "For such multidimensional Saints to grace our small corner of the world... what an honor."
