Chapter 476: Chapter 313: Nine-layered Divine Seal! Landscaping Technique!

Pan Chengkong, born into the sixth lineage of the Holy Land.

In his youth, he was spirited and distinguished, looking down upon all living beings.

He was born into wealth, which bred arrogance, and he held those outside the Holy Land, from the Human Clan, in considerable disdain.

However, having been nurtured by the Holy Land from a young age, he still possessed a heartfelt loyalty to the Holy Land and was willing to fight for the Human Clan!

At the age of thirty-seven, he practiced the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint, and the following year, he was appointed as an elder.

From then on, he suppressed his emotions and passions, acted indifferently, and often carried out the Holy Land’s orders to cleanse evil and eradicate Tribulation Ash. He was ruthless in achieving his goals... In any matter, he’d rather kill mistakenly than be lenient!

Nearing fifty, he was appointed as the Transmission Elder and came to Qifeng Prefecture City to impart the new laws of the Holy Land to the outsiders of the Human Clan, benefiting the Three Prefecture, and was deeply revered by all.

But it was precisely because of the excessive reverence from all sides that he began to consider himself above others, as if he was on the clouds, and thus began to despise all beings.

Not half a year had passed when his Supreme Profound Dao to Saint completely lost control, and the long-suppressed emotions and desires burst forth. The influence of the strange True Qi intensified, leading to bizarre actions and reckless indulgence in extravagance.

The so-called virtues of courtesy, integrity, propriety, and conscience were almost extinguished, leaving only the principle of the survival of the fittest in his heart.

"But you, such a wretched thing..."

The reflection in the mirror sneered, "The Great Elder is back, promising great rewards, using the Old God’s Magical Objects as payment, and yet you still haven’t truly compromised! Do you understand that deceiving the Great Elder today basically leaves you no way out!"

"I know."

Pan Chengkong, with his hands behind his back, said, "I also know that tonight, many people plan to push me into the Great Elder’s hands! But those I can count include the Li Shen Sect, Lu Changsheng, the Observatory, and... the Saint Master!"

He laughed mockingly at himself and said, "But wasn’t my conviction in my youth to sacrifice my life for the greater good of the Human Clan?"

As his voice fell, he extended his hand to knock over the copper mirror on the table.

The mirror face covered the tabletop, no longer reflecting any scene.

He then walked straight to his residence.

In his residence, a small altar had already been set up, with a thousand candles reflecting the moonlight.

"Master, as you instructed, the altar has been prepared."

The man in the room hurriedly got up and bowed.

"Zheng Yan..."

Pan Chengkong looked at his disciple before him and slowly said, "Do you bear any resentment towards me?"

"Originally a mere martial artist in this prefecture city, I was taken in by Master and elevated overnight."

Zheng Yan immediately knelt and kowtowed, "Over the past year, as a disciple under the Holy Land, I have enjoyed glory, revered by all, and experienced unprecedented splendor! Having had such glory in life, I would die without regrets! Besides, Master, you have your own considerations in what you do..."

"Yes, having reached such a stage in life, I, as a master, would indeed have no regrets even in death."

Pan Chengkong sighed, "In fact, over these years, I’ve been confused, living without direction! Instead, I’ve killed many ambitious people... Looking back, a man like me, living in this world, is harmful and not beneficial to the Human Clan."

"Master, don’t belittle yourself; your transmission of the new laws to the world has blessed the Three Prefecture immensely!"

Zheng Yan hesitated, then said, "These minor issues can’t overshadow your great achievements."

"I only transmitted the laws, not created them; where do the great achievements come from?"

Pan Chengkong laughed lightly and said, "You just said I have my considerations in what I do, which is correct and also wrong."

Zheng Yan, taken aback, looked up.

Pan Chengkong stepped forward, stroking his head, and sighed, "You think I sent you out there with other intentions, not to harm you, right?"

Zheng Yan immediately nodded, "My survival is proof."

Pan Chengkong laughed mockingly, "Indeed, there were other intentions, but today, sending you to the city gate to provoke Wu Chang, I... indeed planned to use your life as a roadblock for Wu Chang!"

Zheng Yan froze in place.

Pan Chengkong continued, "If using your life can stop Wu Chang, then he is nothing more than a man of no great use."

"Such a man cannot achieve greatness, cannot take on great responsibilities, and will not be able to take away the Landscaping Technique from here."

"But since he managed to judge the situation well and did not act recklessly, that is commendable."

"If he can successfully arrive here from Wen Chen before midnight, he would indeed be both intelligent and brave."

As he said this, looking at Zheng Yan, he continued, "Today, I am certain to die."

Zheng Yan’s expression changed dramatically, about to speak.

But Pan Chengkong waved his hand and added, "Actually, when I initially took in three disciples, Gui Lin and Gui Zhen, they were ruthless in nature, obedient in carrying out orders, decisive and efficient."

"As for you, although your martial talents weren’t particularly strong, you had a knack for formations and runes, showing great aptitude and understanding."

"Thus, Gui Lin and Gui Zhen were my evil hounds, my minions for killing, while you..."

Pan Chengkong smiled slightly, "You are the true disciple!"

Zheng Yan, hearing this, was visibly shaken, and looked up.

"My abilities, within the Holy Land, are not considered strong, but the reason I was designated as a Transmission Master is solely because I completely understood the entire true interpretation of the Holy Land’s ’Forbidden Divine Technique.’"

"Therefore, any secret technique sent from the Holy Land, no matter what kind of sealing technique it is, I can break it."

Pan Chengkong said lightly, "But in the entire Qifeng Prefecture City, only I can break them!"
