Tianfeng Daoist was somewhat at a loss, and so was Hong Xiu Fairy. They both wished to send out the news, but they knew they were at the core of the Sea Clan's formation and had no guarantee of getting past two hundred thousand Sea Clans to either transmit the message or break out.
When the numerical disparity reaches a certain level, it's an insurmountable chasm. But without leaving, the human cultivator army won't know the news, and they might be encircled and annihilated here by the Sea Clan!
Whether to break through or not, that is the question, even if the odds are slim.
For the first time, Hong Xiu Fairy spoke, "You've told us so much just to provoke us into breaking out, so you can conserve the energy maintaining the barrier and use all the primordial magnetic power for attack, right?"
Master Bamboo was momentarily taken aback, as its little scheme had been seen through, but it was unfazed, "Alright, you're right, I do have such an intention, but that's not the most important thing. It's merely a question of how much damage can be inflicted. If you're unwilling to leave and prefer staying here to chat, I don't mind. In the meantime, I can also seek advice from you Daoists on how to control the attack formation. There's no one better than you Daoists at this in the cultivation world."
Blinking its eyes, "Moreover, I'm also afraid a third person might appear."
This bamboo creature was truly meticulous and extremely cautious, leaving the two with no leverage.
Tianfeng Daoist was willing to accept reality and move on. He knew the demon beasts yearned for human acknowledgment. No matter where they came from or what bloodline they were, they all had such a mental obstacle. He was willing to oblige it.
"Alright, we admit defeat for this round. Daoist Bamboo has the upper hand, with foresight and unparalleled intellect. But there's one thing Daoist Bamboo should know, that you're only changing the overall patterns of the Southwest, and nothing will ever change the fact that humans dominate Jinxiu and control Heaven Creation. So why can't we discuss this?
Feel free to ask for anything you require, and we'll try our best to satisfy it before a deadly enmity is formed between the parties; don't act recklessly, or in the future, you might not even have the chance for negotiations."
Master Bamboo spoke profoundly, "Foresight and unparalleled intellect? Hmm, I love hearing this, but I'm very familiar with your Daoist tactics, if I really buy into them, what follows would be complacency and certain defeat, right?
Regarding negotiations, there's a saying among humans that rings true, that truth lies within the range of martial techniques; what cannot be attained on the battlefield, how can it be expected through negotiation?
The fact that humans dominate Jinxiu is undeniable; and I seek negotiations, that's also a fact. But all of this must come after I completely annihilate the southwestern human cultivation power! Otherwise, we won't gain respect, but be toyed with like clowns. Haven't such lessons in the Universe Cultivation Realm's million-year history been enough?"
Tianfeng and Hong Xiu exchanged a glance; truly a hard nut to crack, it seems he had endured plenty in the human world, gaining quite an insight of his own.
"You're pushing the Sea Clan towards the abyss while bringing the whole continent's demon beast clan into danger. After this battle, the post-war treatment of your demon clan by the continent's humans might undergo fundamental changes..."
Master Bamboo just laughed joyfully, "See, I guessed it right away. First, entice, then negotiate, and if that fails, threaten; that's human's three-pronged approach. Do you think I'm a person who fears threats? If it were in the Ancient Border, I might consider many things, but here in Jinxiu, what's it got to do with me? What do the Sea Clan and Demon Clan have to do with me?
I was happy, I created history in Jinxiu, and that's enough!"
Laughing heartily, he stood tall, "Now, I'll let you both see my application of primordial magnetic power. The Dao is endless, and your guidance is much appreciated."
The two were completely handled, utterly speechless, and Hong Xiu quickly asked, "Senior Brother Tianfeng, what do we do?"
With icy glints in his eyes, Tianfeng Daoist had never been so thoroughly played with in his life—a lesson learned,
"Cooperate with him, satisfy him; haven't you noticed? With us as his backdrop, he's exceptionally thrilled, gaining immense satisfaction, he'll do many unnecessary acts just to prove his wisdom even surpasses humans! We can't leave, if we leave, he'll become focused, and that state will vanish!"
Hong Xiu Fairy comprehended, "Then, it'll give that guy an opportunity..."
Tianfeng snorted, "If that guy doesn't have confidence, he wouldn't stay here! Didn't you see the way he looked at the Golden Spirit Pearl, as if looking at his own wife? No help for it, we'll have to let that guy have it."
Master Bamboo slowly ascended, floating level with the Golden Spirit Pearl, arms spread open, beginning to revel in its splendor.
Murmuring incantations, it waved its hand, sending a force to sweep over those egg shells, each one breaking to reveal what was inside—not the small demons they initially expected but pineapple-like spheres,
Not forgetting to showcase, "These are the Celestial Luokui from the Ancient Border, a type of plant capable of massively absorbing and storing primal magnetic power. When linked by a formation, cultivators can release energy beams instantly, erupting to injure people!"
With some regret, "I can't directly use the primordial magnetic power; neither can Nascent Souls nor low-rank True Monarchs easily do so. The great power of nature isn't something we can easily control, so I cultivated these Celestial Luokui over the years."
He was quite proud of his formation, a perfect synergy of wisdom and nature, "The primordial magnetic power comes from the internal repulsion of two divine mountains. I disrupted this mutual sensing with the Golden Spirit Pearl, channeling the power into the formation and using seventy-eight thousand Celestial Luokui to manage the power leakage, establishing a defensive barrier in the process..."
This whole setup was indeed his pride, a fantastical, extraordinary conception. If he didn't speak of it, outsiders would indeed struggle to grasp the intricacies; not revealing it now would mean losing the opportunity later. To a genius, there's nothing more frustrating than not being known, he seeks acknowledgment, even from enemies.
Unknowingly, he divulged all his secrets, but he believed it didn't matter. Such secrets couldn't be replicated, and no second primordial magnetic divine mountain could revisit his glory. Anyway, these two couldn't get in; what he loved most was watching them panic, unable to kill him, utterly helpless.
This wasn't vanity; this was the heart of a strong one.
Master Bamboo proudly showed his achievements to the two comrades from the Upper Realm, just short of actually firing a primordial magnetic beam, for which he was quite apologetic,
"Apologies, I can't immediately show you now, because I fear alarming the human army; we need to wait until the heat of the battle, when both sides are preoccupied before taking action, right? By then, amidst the chaos, commands muddled, everyone fighting on their own, how many human cultivators do you think can escape the siege of two hundred thousand Sea Clans?"
