"Cultivators above Nascent Soul and Unification are going to defect to Tianluo, while disciples under Foundation Establishment abandon cultivation and return to the secular world. The rest, if they wish to leave, will go with you?"

Daoist Tai Ye leaned back in his chair, murmuring to himself.

Wang Jixuan nodded gently by the side, adding, "I am just taking them away from here, helping them sever all cause and effect related to this place, and then sending them to a paradise to cultivate."

Daoist Tai Ye silently took out a jade talisman, inscribing many things inside it.

A moment later, Tai Ye handed the jade talisman to Wang Jixuan.

Inside was a string of numbers.

Excluding loose cultivators, just among the dozen or so sects, there are approximately sixty-seven thousand disciples that need Wang Jixuan to take away.

The estimated number of cultivators needing to be taken from families, small sects, and loose cultivators will be a hundred times that of sect disciples.

"Jixuan, it's not that the senior doubts your ability nor that the senior wants to stand by and do nothing.

"The complexity of human nature is far beyond what can be explained in a sentence or two.

"It's good that you intend to save people, but you must consider whether they are grateful for the help."

Wang Jixuan shrugged: "Those who seek life will find life; those who seek death will find death. Let's just get our sect away first."

Tai Ye nodded in agreement: "That is my intention as well."

"Uh," Wang Jixuan hesitantly asked, "Senior, do you mean... it's okay if we don't save other sects?"

Tai Ye gave a bitter smile: "Given the current circumstances, being able to protect our sect is no easy task. If there is extra capacity to help fellow cultivators from other sects, that would be great, but still, prioritize our sect."

Wang Jixuan couldn't help but laugh.

Daoist Tai Ye spoke in a low voice: "Discussing serious matters with you, why are you laughing? Be serious."

"Ah, yes."

Master Wang sat up straight, bitterly smiling:

"I assumed the sect could not abandon other comrades and continuously negotiated with the Heavenly Dao under the condition to rescue all righteous cultivators."

"Negotiated with the Heavenly Dao?"

"Yes," Wang Jixuan responded, "The Heavenly Dao has tasks for me, so it counts as a form of transaction."

Daoist Tai Ye was momentarily at a loss for words.

Wang Jixuan took out a jade talisman and placed it down, advising, "Then next, please follow the steps outlined inside and advance gradually; save as many as possible."

"Alright."

Tai Ye picked up the jade talisman and glanced at it.

What to do at each step, along with notes of caution, were detailed clearly, even down to which hour things should occur.

Tai Ye suddenly frowned and looked at Wang Jixuan: "Jixuan, why does it always feel like there's another high-ranking individual guiding you in the background?"

"Is there?"

Wang Jixuan chuckled, cupping his hands in farewell:

"Then, rest well, senior, I won't disturb you anymore."

"Ah, stay for a meal together, I've invited several elders from within the sect..."

"I must decline, senior. I need to refine that newly opened Jiezhi Qiankun."

"Jiezhi Qiankun?"

Daoist Tai Ye was about to speak and retain him, but Wang Jixuan's figure had already slipped through the wall, ignoring the barrier here, leaving gracefully.

"What's the rush."

Daoist Tai Ye examined the jade talisman carefully.

The plan was very detailed, with every step thoroughly considered.

However...

"Can it really go so smoothly?"

Worry was apparent on the sect leader's mind.

...

"Meeting time."

Mu Dan called out within the First Base, and shortly afterward, several enthusiastic participants arrived.

Their small team had added only Mao Mo; personnel changes were minimal.

Wang Jixuan delivered a brief opening and then introduced their upcoming action plan.

Mao Mo quickly sensed something amiss and immediately raised his hand to inquire:

"Hold on, why are we so certain that the Dark Sect will launch the next wave of attack in half a month and that after the first battle, regardless of the outcome, they will rest for three days?"

Wang Jixuan spread his hands: "This was told to me by the Heavenly Dao."

"Oh?" Mao Mo realized, "So it was a prediction or divination, is it reliable?"

Mu Dan clicked her tongue softly from the side: "The Heavenly Dao directly said so."

Mao Mo chuckled awkwardly.

His common sense told him Mu Dan was joking because everyone in the Immortal Realm knows that the Heavenly Dao represents the will of the universe. Even for a Daluo Golden Immortal, direct communication with it is difficult.

Mm? Mao Mo suddenly considered everything he had seen and heard recently, along with the peculiarities of these people...

"Is it true?"

"Guess," Mu Dan rolled her eyes.

Master Wang laughed at the side: "Our main plan sticks to this, but we certainly need backup plans, preparing extra contingencies. If the Heavenly Dao has a chance to eliminate us, it will act, but given that Senior Bai Gu is protecting us, the Heavenly Dao is unsure if it can succeed, so it negotiated with us."

Zheng Shiduo had finished reviewing the primary combat strategy in the meeting file.

He voiced his concerns: "Opening the Second Base isn't a problem, we have plenty of mechanical laborers, but the issue is... will these people cooperate?"

"Let's not end up like Mr. Dongguo and the wolf," Red Snake muttered with worry.

Mu Dan confidently stated, "So, our timing to strike is crucial. We need to make them truly feel the crisis of annihilation, experience despair, and then move in during their moment of despair, rescuing them from dire straits... We've recruited a group of cultivator lackeys!"

Wang Jixuan listened and laughed as well.

Mu Dan is indeed a good wingman, always mindful of helping them grow their influence.

"No need to recruit them."

Wang Jixuan balanced his body, rocking the swivel chair gently, speaking slowly:

"We must strive to maintain the purity of our team and staunchly follow the mechanical civilization path.

"With Mu Dan as the brain of the mechanical civilization, we act as supervisors.

"The Heavenly Dao has already pointed out the road for us.
