Chu Xuan made some calculations as to what measures would be best to take, and then began to act to create the perfect bait.
First, the other party had to be able to observe and sense Xiao Liang even before his wisp of consciousness descended into Xiao Liang's physical body. Otherwise, just based on the other party's current methods, he would not be able to evaluate Xiao Liang's talent in detail.
Of course, Chu Xuan would not let the other party's wisp of consciousness actually enter Xiao Liang's body. He merely had to make Xiao Liang an attractive enough target to entice the other party to bring treasures along.
He also had to create something to make it easier for the other party's wisp of consciousness to descend without being rejected by the Great Dao.
That would definitely entice the other party, right?
Thanks to the Heavenly Dao laws being in control of the nine zones, Chu Xuan was able to accomplish this with relative ease.
First, Chu Xuan created the illusion that Xiao Liang had a strong battle intent, equivalent to that of a 36th-level Dao realm expert.
That was freakish enough, right?
After all, Xiao Liang was only a fifth-level Dao realm cultivator. From the perspective of the Skyhook race expert, he would definitely be considered prime material to create an avatar in the nine zones.
Would the other party be tempted?
Definitely!
Next, Chu Xuan had to deal with the other party's contingency plans. The Skyhook race had once roamed the nine zones, and as such had their own territory in the nine zones, which was one of the treasure lands in the nine zones.
They had obviously left their inheritance there in the hope of creating another avenue to descend into the nine zones. However, Chu Xuan could not allow that. He wanted Xiao Liang to be their one and only option, so that they would bet everything on his disciple.
The other party was a big fish, so he had to make the bait as attractive as possible, including by reducing the amount of competition.
In any case, Chu Xuan had prepared a scapegoat, in the form of the backer of that Azure Dragon tribe's genius. They would have to suffer in his stead.
Xiao Liang was a little confused.
His battle intent suddenly became incomparably intense, reaching a terrifying level.
That being said, he could tell that it was not real and was only an illusion.
If he really possessed such a strong battle intent, then it would not be a problem for him to sweep and defeat much stronger opponents.
The battle intent around his body was too strong, and it had appeared so suddenly.
Xiao Liang wondered if this was his master's doing.
Just as he was thinking this, Chu Xuan's voice rang out in his mind.
"Some people have extended their long hands into the nine zones. Since that's the case, I'll help you find an opportunity. You'll become the bait to catch these big fish."
"What does Master mean?"
"Your talent has attracted the attention of certain people, and they wish to make you an avatar. In order to do so, they will bring along some treasures to hasten your cultivation progress."
"They're pretty strong, so the treasures they prepare will be worth it."
Xiao Liang was overjoyed.
If his master said those treasures were worth it, then they definitely would be.
He was not worried about any problems.
If his master was not confident, why would he do this?
"Many thanks, Master!"
"En, head to this place first. Just keep releasing your battle intent."
"Yes, Master!"
Xiao Liang was extremely excited as he immediately headed toward the Skyhook race's treasure land.
It was a special place that no one had entered yet. Incidentally, Chu Xuan had blocked some of the treasure lands related to these experts to keep people out, reserving them for his own use, and also to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.
After all, he had to be more cautious with these experts' contingency plans, at least until the Heavenly Dao laws became strong enough to deal with them.
Xiao Liang's speed was not slow. Within three days, he arrived at his destination.
