The Programmer Cultivator

Qu Wenbai glanced at her. "It's normal for accidents to happen when you've been away from the clan lands for so long."

Guann Zhenzhen ignored Qu Wenbai. She got up, approached Qu Qingxian and Qu Zhiwen, and leaned in, her hand gently stroking Qu Qingxian's resolute face.

Qu Qingxian's eyes instantly glazed over as he fell into a daze. If his body weren't bound, he probably would have started drooling like a pervert.

After caressing Qu Qingxian, Guann Zhenzhen leaned in and sniffed him like a puppy. "Tsk tsk," she said. "I never would have thought your Qu Family could still produce such a pure and handsome Cultivator.

This body is so clean, it's a little tempting. How about you let me borrow him for a few days? I'll give him right back when I'm done!"

Qu Wenbai's brow furrowed slightly. "I still have a use for this person. I can't let you play with him until he's broken. If I let you have him in your room for a few days, would there be anything left for me to use?"

"Hmph, what a stingy old ghost!" Guann Zhenzhen pouted. Her eyes then fell on Qu Zhiwen. "And what about this one?"

Qu Wenbai paused for a moment. "You really are indiscriminate. You won't even spare a child this young!"

"What, feeling sorry for your family members now? What good are clansmen who end up like this?" Guann Zhenzhen said.

Qu Wenbai glanced at Guann Zhenzhen. "It's still better than your Guann Family. Back then, each of the Five Races sent people out to make the final preparations for the Celestial Heart Sacrifice.

The Fire Separation Lu Family and the Geng Metal Duan Family blended into the mortal world. To win the hearts and minds of the people, they all became Martial Artists and have already achieved a certain level of success. Their preparations are complete.

The Wu Earth Official Family is the most mysterious. Although we don't know where they've been developing, judging from the routine sacrifices and communications over the years, their preparations are also going well. You could even say they're developing the best.

My Turtle Water Qu Family might not be doing so well, but at least we've left a trace. Your Cyan Wood Guann Family, though... we've been searching for days. Have you found even a hint of them?"

Stung by the retort, Guann Zhenzhen paused. She looked at the group of Disciples and said, "This is what you call preparation? What does it matter if you have them or not?

A family like this? I could pull together a dozen of them anywhere, and they'd even be willing. Unlike you, you old ghost, who has to use force just to get your own juniors to do something."

Qu Wenbai paused. After returning the jab, Guann Zhenzhen also stopped there. The two of them clearly disliked each other, but they didn't continue to clash, exercising mutual restraint.

Neither could accomplish their goal without the other. It was true that Guann Zhenzhen only had Duality Cultivation—a level she'd only reached so quickly because he had helped her capture several Cultivators to drain for power.

However, what they needed wasn't her Cultivation, but a member of the Cyan Wood Guann Family—one with a pure bloodline.

Years ago, due to certain events, the Five Races were nearly discovered by those bald donkeys from the Jinshan Temple. The Cyan Wood Guann Family took the fall and met with a disaster. All the clan members they had sent to the outside world perished, leaving Guann Zhenzhen as the sole survivor.

Under these circumstances, no matter how low her Cultivation was, she could still speak to him as an equal. After all, the Celestial Heart Sacrifice required all Five Races. Not one could be missing.

The two fell silent for a moment before Guann Zhenzhen spoke. "Now that your Qu Family is in this state, what do you plan to do?"

Qu Wenbai shot a cold glance at Qu Qingxian and the others. "What else can be done? Since they didn't raise the Human Gu and made no preparations, they'll just have to become the Gu themselves. Let them be turned into Resources."

"Tsk tsk, what a ruthless ancestor. They're truly unlucky to have a forefather like you," Guann Zhenzhen said, looking at Qu Wenbai.

"I have no choice. Those vultures from the Celestial Spirit Sect have their eyes on us, so it's not a good time to make any big moves in Celestial Spirit City.

Besides, if we drag this out, those bald donkeys from the Buddhist Sect will catch a whiff of what we're doing, and that would be disastrous. What happened to the Guann Family back then can't be allowed to happen again, not when the sacrifice is imminent.

What about you? Are your preparations complete?" Qu Wenbai asked, looking at Guann Zhenzhen.

Guann Zhenzhen smiled. "You don't need to worry about my end of things. I've been ready for a long time. By the way, when do we make our move?"

Qu Wenbai said, "I had originally planned to wait a few more years. After all, something unexpected happened on the Geng Metal side. A Demon of the Artifact Dao from the Outer Realm forced its way in, trying to take the Geng Metal Duan Family's place.

Circumstances forced us to agree to its involvement, but some things still needed to be coordinated. Now, however, the Celestial Spirit Sect has caught on to us, so we have no choice but to act ahead of schedule."

"What about the Geng Metal side, then?" Guann Zhenzhen asked with a frown.

"What else can we do? We can only let that Demon have its way! Besides, it's not entirely a Demon from the Outer Realm. It swallowed the Geng Metal Grotto Heaven's Artifact Spirit, as well as the Duan Family's ancestor.

But it hasn't completely digested them; it's suffering from some indigestion. Right now, that Demon exists somewhere between an Artifact and a person. You could consider it half a member of the Duan Family," Qu Wenbai replied, a hint of resignation in his voice.

"To proceed like this... it seems terribly risky," Guann Zhenzhen said, her brow furrowed.

Qu Wenbai retorted, "What do you suggest? The Celestial Spirit Sect is already on our tail. If we delay any longer, they'll eventually manage to reassemble their old Blessed Land Grotto Heaven. Guided by that connection, do you think finding us would be difficult?

If we're careless and they trace this back to the ancestral land and discover the Celestial Heart Altar before the sacrifice has begun... by then, it will be too late to act.

All these years of preparation would go down the drain, all for nothing. Even we wouldn't escape a terrible fate.

Back then, the Celestial Spirit Sect was just an obscure little Sect beneath the Blessed Land. It only achieved its current status as an Upper Sect by devouring the fallen Blessed Land.

With a history like that, if they discover any sign of our existence and what we're preparing, would they possibly ignore it? It would be a fight to the death!"
