Jay originally intended to exchange the location of the crystal for the lives of his companions. This way, he would have a group of companions who lost the crystal with him, which would make things easier to explain later. Moreover, by saving these companions, he would also gain their gratitude.

Now that Yi Shuihan knows the location of the crystal, Jay's plan has naturally fallen through.

"Whether or not to kill them is no longer up to me, but up to them. You can come with me. If you can get them to obediently watch me destroy the crystal, I might spare their lives."

Just when things seemed hopeless, these words brought Jay back to heaven, filling him with joy.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely persuade them."

After realizing what was happening, Jay quickly assured him.

"So, of the remaining 6 crystals, which one do you think I should go to first?"

"Please choose whichever you like! They're all the same."

Jay's eyes flickered as he answered. In fact, his suggestion could determine which crystals would survive. After all, Yi Shuihan did not intend to destroy everything. Even if Yi Shuihan guaranteed not to kill anyone, the fate of the wizards who protected the crystals and those who did not would still be very serious.

It's certain that the wizards who fail to protect the crystals will be punished. This way, when those whose crystals were destroyed find out that Jay recommended which crystal to destroy first, they will naturally blame him, even if he saves their lives. Jay didn't choose to recommend but gave the choice to Yi Shuihan, so he has enough excuse in the future, and those wizards who failed to protect the crystals won't blame him.

"A clever fellow."

Yi Shuihan also saw through Jay's thoughts, but he didn't point them out, as he didn't care much about this little trick of his.

He gave Jay a deep look, which made Jay, who was feeling rather smug, freeze in his tracks.

"Oh no, I was too careless. I was facing such a powerful being, and I still tried to play tricks. I need to explain this immediately."

"Let's go!"

However, before Jay could explain, Yi Shuihan had already turned and left, with Kunpeng following behind, and they quickly disappeared from Jay's sight.

"Phew, let's not play like that next time."

Jay understood that Yi Shuihan's glance was a warning, and he also issued a warning to himself in his heart.

Afterwards, Jay followed Yi Shuihan to the second wizard crystal teleportation point.

This time it didn't go smoothly. Upon entering the crystal teleportation point, they were still met with fierce attacks. Jay's words were regarded as those of a traitor, and they simply did not believe him. In the end, Yi Shuihan unleashed his Saint-level strength, killing nearly half of the wizards at the teleportation point and successfully destroying the crystal.

Without stopping, they went to the third teleportation point. This time, having learned from the previous experience, Yi Shuihan negotiated with Jay, allowing the guarding wizards to leave the teleportation point and confirm Yi Shuihan's strength. In the end, they destroyed the crystal but did not kill a single person.

The fourth teleportation point was the same as the third, but because the guard of this teleportation point had some grudge against Jay and was somewhat disrespectful to Yi Shuihan, he was killed by Yi Shuihan and ended up being wiped out. Naturally, the crystal was also destroyed.

The destruction of four wizard teleportation crystals took only a month from start to finish, even though the crystals were scattered and most of the time was spent traveling. Thus, Yi Shuihan's goal was basically achieved.

So, should we destroy the fifth crystal or not?

Yi Shuihan pondered this problem carefully. If he wanted to destroy it, the nearest crystal would be two days' journey away, and it was located in the west, right in the territory of Zhunti Jieyin. If Yi Shuihan went there, he would definitely be discovered.

"Let's see if we have enough merit points first."

At this time, Taiyi's name had already ranked first on the Heavenly Merit List, which had long attracted the attention of the entire prehistoric world, and there was much discussion about it everywhere.

"Taoist Taiyi is too amazing. He destroyed four wizard teleportation crystals in just a few days. This is something even saints cannot do."

"As expected of a member of the Alliance Council, his strength is astonishing."

"If we destroy three more crystals, it will be much more difficult for the Wizarding World to invade. For a short time, we in the Primordial World will only need to deal with one world."

Chapter 1198, The Teleportation Crystal at the Gate of Zhunti

Even if Yi Shuihan didn't know the situation in the primordial world, he could roughly guess it. He had already foreseen the current situation before he destroyed the crystal.

"There are still some merits missing."

Yi Shuihan used his current merits to request the Heavenly Dao to exchange for a high-level world origin, but was told that he did not have enough merits.

"Let's destroy another crystal and see. If that's not enough, we'll have to accumulate merit through other methods. I absolutely must obtain the origin of the higher world."

Heading west, we arrived at the 5th crystal teleportation point.

"Taiyi, what are you doing at my temple?"

Zhunti looked at Yi Shuihan with suspicion and uncertainty, especially when he saw Jay beside Yi Shuihan. He was even more wary. Jay's clothes and aura were very similar to the wizard he had encountered on his mission. Most importantly, he felt a faint sense of threat from Jay.

"Just passing by. Don't worry, I won't enter your dojo."

Yi Shuihan raised his head and said casually, then nodded to Jay beside him.

Jay took a few steps forward and walked to a towering tree. He muttered an unknown incantation, and the surface of the tree gradually changed. A gap large enough to accommodate a person appeared in the tree.

"This is......"

Zhunti's eyes widened slightly at this change.

Especially as Jay entered, Zhunti found that Jay seemed to have vanished into thin air in his perception. At this point, he knew that there was something wrong here.

"Could it be a wizard's teleportation crystal?"

Considering what Yi Shuihan had done recently, destroying four teleportation crystals in succession, Zhunti immediately connected the situation here with the crystal's hiding place, and Jay's contribution was indispensable in this.

"He was able to find the crystal teleportation point because of that outsider. How did he get that outsider to obey his commands?"

Previously, Zhunti had tried many methods to get those wizards to reveal the location of the crystal, but he had never succeeded. No matter whether he used temptation or force, it was the same. These outsiders had been subjected to some kind of spell that would directly annihilate their souls under certain circumstances. If they wanted to get information about the crystal, they would have to tell him on their own initiative. There was no other way.

Aside from crystals, these wizards would answer other ordinary questions to avoid suffering, but they became exceptionally stubborn when it came to crystals.

"Is this a crystal teleportation point in the Wizarding World?"

Zhunti asked with a dark expression.

"good."

Yi Shuihan's answer made Zhunti's face darken even more. He felt like he was being slapped in the face. The other person was right at his doorstep, but he hadn't even noticed.

Destroying a single crystal is like losing a top-grade innate spiritual treasure! A spiritual treasure delivered right to our doorstep was simply stolen.

No, wait, the crystal hasn't been destroyed yet, I still have a chance.

Although he knew that going up against Yi Shuihan would be troublesome, under normal circumstances Zhunti would never have messed with Yi Shuihan. However, the top-grade innate spiritual treasure had already made him somewhat unbalanced.

"Damn it! These outside invaders actually built a teleportation crystal under my dojo. They clearly don't take me and my senior brother seriously. For the glory of the prehistoric world, I will definitely show them my power."

With that, Zhunti stormed angrily toward the unknown space of the wizard's teleportation crystal.

Yi Shuihan watched all of this calmly from beginning to end without any intention of stopping it. How could he not know what Zhunti was planning? He just wanted to get the merit points from this crystal first. What was this talk about the glory of the prehistoric world? It was utter nonsense.

"Master, aren't you going to check? What if Zhunti damages the crystal..."

Do you think he can destroy the crystal?

Yi Shuihan simply asked a question, and Kunpeng fell silent. He recalled the scene when he followed Yi Shuihan to the first crystal. With that kind of intense attack, Zhunti would have been lucky to even emerge unharmed, let alone destroy the crystal. Not everyone is like Yi Shuihan, possessing strength beyond their realm.

Just as Yi Shuihan had predicted, a violent tremor was transmitted as soon as Zhunti entered the small space set up by the wizarding world. In less than 10 seconds, Zhunti was seen flying up in a disheveled state.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, fellow Daoist, save me!"

Zhunti's hairstyle was now a mess, as if he had been struck by lightning, and his magnificent clothes had become somewhat tattered. He no longer resembled the quasi-saint he once was; he could easily become a beggar.

Following closely behind Zhunti were two Holy Spirit Wizards and more than a dozen Sun Wizards, their posture clearly intended to blast Zhunti into dust.

Zhunti was considered a strong figure among quasi-saints, but he was not facing immortals from the prehistoric world, but rather wizards. The attack power of the Holy Spirit Wizards was still very strong. In addition, Zhunti had arrived in a bit of a hurry and was somewhat careless. Being surrounded and attacked, he naturally did not fare well.

Seeing that Yi Shuihan and Kunpeng both appeared to be quasi-saints, the wizards finally stopped their pursuit of Zhunti and began a standoff.

“Jay, I never expected you to be a traitor, bringing people from this world here. I will definitely report this to the council and let the sages know.”

A wizard with fiery red hair and beard roared at Jay.

“Mason, it’s not what you think. I have my reasons. Can you give me a chance to explain? I believe you won’t blame me after you know the whole story.”

Jay said with a wry smile.

"An explanation? Are you still trying to fool me with sweet talk? I don't want to hear your explanation."

“Wait, Mason, give him some face and let him explain.”

"Bradon, do you still believe this traitor?"

The wizard known as Braden and Mason are both Holy Spirit Wizards and are in charge of this crystal point. Usually, there is one Holy Spirit Wizard guarding a teleportation crystal. The reason there are two here is mainly because Braden just arrived through the teleportation crystal. He has only been here for a few days and is resting temporarily.

“If he were a traitor, cooperating with these people, we would have no chance of winning, so I would rather believe that he had his reasons.”

Braden spoke slowly, and this reason silenced Mason. He wasn't blind to the situation; he knew Braden was right.

Afterwards, Braden, Mason, and Jay stepped aside and began to communicate using a special method.

Chapter 1199, A Large Group Kneels Down

Just moments ago, Zhunti was crying and screaming as he was being chased by the wizards, but now that he saw the wizards were frightened by Yi Shuihan, he quickly regained his composure.

Seeing Jay and the two Holy Spirit Wizards discussing something, Zhunti looked completely bewildered.

"What's going on? Why isn't he making a move? Could it be that these wizards have been turned against us?"

Having lost so much face and been so pathetic in front of Yi Shuihan, Zhunti was filled with shame and indignation, but even more so with anger towards these wizards. He wished he could kill them all immediately and torture them severely.

If these wizards are turned against him, wouldn't he be unable to take revenge? He alone is no match for these wizards. With his senior brother by his side, he has a 7% chance of winning. However, if they want to run away, it will be difficult to stop them. Defeat and kill are two completely different concepts.

Even if they could actually kill him, they couldn't ignore Yi Shuihan's attitude. If Yi Shuihan sided with these wizards, they would be truly doomed to suffer this loss today.

The more Zhunti thought about it, the more upset he became. He had originally planned to destroy a crystal to obtain a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, but now he had not only lost face, but the crystal was also basically gone. Even if he were shameless, he wouldn't dare to forcibly destroy the crystal under these circumstances. Putting aside whether he could do it, even if he could, what awaited him was probably not a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, but Yi Shuihan's raging fury.

Zhunti still had some self-awareness, which became even more apparent after seeing Kunpeng standing meekly beside Yi Shuihan.

Time flew by, and after about three minutes, Jay and Mason finally finished their conversation.

At this moment, Mason and Braden fell silent, their eyes frequently glancing at Yi Shuihan, their eyes filled with fear and a hint of doubt.

The fact that he possessed the power of a quasi-saint and the combat strength of a saint was hard for them to believe. Even in the wizarding world, there was only one such being. That sage was the Hundred Battles Sage, who ranked among the top three among sages, a battle maniac born for battle.

Yi Shuihan looked delicate and weak, not like someone with explosive fighting power, so even with Jay's assurances, Mason and Braden were still skeptical.

They had agreed that as long as Jay's words could be proven true, they would not stop Yi Shuihan from destroying the crystal. After all, if it was true, they couldn't stop him anyway, and they would rather save their lives than die.

"The master has already said that you only need to show a little bit of your strength."

Jay walked up to Yi Shuihan and said very respectfully.

"In that case, let's go!"

Yi Shuihan lifted his foot, ignoring the bewildered Zhunti, and followed the wizards to the space where the teleportation crystal was located.

Zhunti originally wanted to go too, but Jay stopped him, looking like he would start a war if Yi Shuihan took another step forward.

"What are you doing? I am friends with Fellow Daoist Taiyi."

Zhunti tried to use Yi Shuihan to get Jay to make way, but Jay responded with a cold laugh and a disdainful look.

"Want to go there? Fine! Just defeat me."

Jay showed absolutely no respect to Zhunti. He wasn't stupid; he had already seen from what had happened before what Yi Shuihan's attitude towards Zhunti was—completely ignoring him! This guy even had the nerve to call himself an adult's friend; he was utterly shameless.

"You... I won't stoop to your level."

Pointing at Jay, Zhunti genuinely wanted to kill this annoying wizard without hesitation, but in the end he chickened out.

On the other side, Yi Shuihan had already arrived at the small space where the teleportation crystal was stored.

Mason and Braden stood in front of the crystal, wary of Yi Shuihan, while the other wizards also watched Yi Shuihan vigilantly, creating a very serious atmosphere.

"Since you want to see my strength, then I'll show you."

An aura surpassing that of a Quasi-Saint and reaching the Saint level rose from Yi Shuihan's body. Due to Yi Shuihan's deliberate control, this pressure did not spread but only permeated a small space.

Under the pressure of the saint-level aura, Mason and his group of wizards knelt down, and suddenly a large number of people knelt down in front of Yi Shuihan.

"Truly a Sage-level being!?"

"There's no mistake. This pressure is not weak even among sages. It's even stronger than some of the sages I've met."

At this moment, Mason and Braden were completely convinced that Yi Shuihan possessed the strength of a sage. According to the concept of the wizarding world, Yi Shuihan was now a true sage in their eyes, and there was no question of him not reaching the required level.

Even the two Holy Spirit Wizards lowered their proud heads in the face of the Sage. The Holy Spirit Wizards were only one step away from being Sages, but they knew just how far that step was. There were nearly a million Holy Spirits in the Wizarding World, but only 24 were truly called Sages. This was enough to illustrate the gap between them.

Nearly a million Quasi-Saints, if it weren't for the support of the Primordial World and the Heavenly Dao, would probably have been scared into surrendering long ago. It's too exaggerated. The gap between the two sides is already tens of thousands of times, which is a multiple that can make people despair.

"Is this okay?"

"Respected Sage, thank you for your kindness."

Once Yi Shuihan's aura dissipated, Braden and Mason stepped aside, no longer protecting the crystal, and even expressed their gratitude to Yi Shuihan. If Zhunti had seen this scene, he would probably have been terrified.

With a casual strike, the crystal shattered, and the small space became dark as a result.

"Let's go!"

With the crystal destroyed and Yi Shuihan having achieved his goal, there was no need for him to stay any longer, so he naturally chose to leave.
