Longevity Chronicles
Chapter 435 - 300: To Win Over Tao Qian's Talent, Yin-Yang Dust Triumphs in Ziyang_2

"Although two hundred thousand people may seem numerous, it shouldn't be a problem," he said. "With my Subterranean Evasion Speed, I could transport them into Youliao Province within a day. It's a fertile and rich land that is currently in need of revitalization. These two hundred thousand people could certainly make a happy and prosperous life there. Daoist Friend, follow me and see for yourself."

During the conversation, Li Fulian raised his hand to wave the Star Banner to gather people.

But just then, a big-nosed face with a grin appeared in front of him. It was Zhong Ziyang, the Taishang True Inheritor.

In terms of Cultivation Realm, Divine Power, and the origin of his Sect,

he ranked second to none among the other three.

Zhong Ziyang had not taken action until now, but he finally couldn't hold back.

The Taishang True Inheritor lived up to his reputation, striking precisely and ruthlessly.

He first grabbed Li Fulian's hand to prevent him from waving the banner, chuckling as he gave a very far-fetched but indisputable reason:

"Li Daoist, hold on. Your Star Banner is indeed extraordinary, but the people you gather with it would suffer from a spinning sensation, causing their body and soul to separate."

"These two hundred thousand people are in the middle of a meal, shaking them now will probably make them vomit even their bile, thus wasting the Five Grains Essence diligently refined by Mr. Lin Daoist."

"Why don't we try my method?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhong Ziyang reached into his chest and pulled out a crumpled bundle of cloth.

He then unfolded it swiftly, and in a moment, it had enveloped the entire Ganyue City. Figures of Yellow Turban Warriors leapt out, chanting Daoist Scriptures and touting benefits, coaxing the two hundred thousand people into walking toward the small world inside the cloth bundle.

At this time, Zhong Ziyang finally added, belatedly:

"I'm not as skilled as the other Daoist Friends. This treasure, called the 'Little Qiankun Map,' was given to me for protection by my seniors when I left the Sect. It's only use is to hold people, nothing else."

"It contains a small Qiankun environment. It can accommodate one city, even ten cities. The two hundred thousand people inside won't feel cramped at all, and they don't have to join my Sect, endure tsunamis or heavy rains, or vomit the food in their stomachs."

Upon hearing this last line,

Tao Qian silently pretended to maintain order, avoiding the battlefield.

Indeed, the other three had been caught up in their own struggles.

Upon hearing these deeply infuriating words, they all turned their heads simultaneously.

It was the Taishang Dao's big talker, speaking nonsense, disrespecting filial piety.

"Mr. Zhong has great skill. I was just about to experience the Taishang True Inheritance's secret techniques."

"Ling Zhu feels the same."

"Add me, Li Fulian," to the list.

The three had just finished shouting when they saw Zhong Ziyang's big nose twitch a few times.

Then, he burst into raucous laughter, "Great Freedom Temple, Guanyin Temple, Star Leader Sect, all are great Cultivation Sects with profound Divine Powers and magical spells... Yet, your methods are minor compared to my Taishang Great Method!"

Upon hearing this, Tao Qian immediately sped up.

This was no longer just attracting hatred; it was an outright mockery.

Anyone would find it unbearable.

Especially the other three, each proud and in high spirits.

Three angry shouts resounded, and three figures attacked simultaneously.

...

For three tremendously reputable cultivators to unite and attack one person is extremely rare.

But with Zhong Ziyang, it was effortlessly achieved.

Firstly, he was the universally recognized strongest inheritor of the Primordial Sect from the Cultivation World.

Secondly, his knack for provoking others with his sarcasm immediately incited the three to action.

Tao Qian, also known as Lin Runiu.

While marveling, he descended into the crowd on the ground.

"I really shouldn't underestimate the cultivators under the heavens. Master previously praised me, calling me 'the first talent of the Dao Sect.'"

"I thought with the Buddha Bird Relics, the Holy Embryo Bag, and the Nine Toad Bead in my possession, even if I wasn't truly number one, ranking within the top three or five might be possible?"

"Who would have thought that before I even ventured to several territories, the four who voluntarily came here were impossible for me to easily overcome."

"Weimo Bowl, Four Seas Glaze Bottle, Heavenly Kui Star Banner, Little Qiankun Map... These four treasures are not inferior to my three treasures."

"If it really came down to fighting, Yang Tingjian and Xie Lingzhu might be easier to deal with; Li Fulian is a bit more troublesome, Zhong Ziyang... I'm not sure at all."

Having assessed the situation, Tao Qian had settled among the crowd of two hundred thousand city residents, watching the four talents battle in the sky.

This scene was destined to occur.

Tao Qian was not surprised, although these four were talents of the righteous path and would not engage in a frenzy of killing at the slightest disagreement like the Evil Cultivators.

But their goal was the same.

That was to take him, Lin Runiu, along with the Ancestor God Treasure in his hand, away. Not to mention the strength revealed by his disguise, just the Valley God Gui, which could nurture all people, any force that aspired to compete for supremacy and rule once more over the seventy-two provinces would not miss such an opportunity.

However, there was only one person and one treasure, which inevitably led to disputes.

Those words were just excuses.

Tao Qian didn't care about that, fully immersed in playing "Lin Runiu," watching the splendid spell battle above.

He himself was not satisfied just watching, and took the opportunity of his sleeves covering the Holy Embryo Bag to let Yunrong and a few others watch along.

Yuan Gong was responsible for commentary.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Yuan Gong took his first look, he immediately made a conclusion and gave Tao Qian a warning.

"There's nothing much to see, that Taishang Dao youngster is definitely not an ordinary true inheritor, and he has already reached the Cavernous Mystery Realm. If it's not a fight to the death and just a contest of Divine Skills, the other three tied together wouldn't be his match."

"It's only that youngster who has learned the Shaoqing Sword Skill who poses some threat."

"Don't get cocky, lad. It's fine to look down on others a little, given the marvel of the Ten Thousand Transformation Technique of the Secret Demon Sect, there's no worry about being exposed."

"But Taishang Dao is different, if he has cultivated the 'Taiqing Dharma Eye,' he can truly see through your transformation."

"Don't think all Taishang Dao cultivators are naive, and let me tell you, some of them are even dirtier than Duobao... If that youngster sees through your transformation early on and is just playing along with you, waiting for the right moment to trap you, heh, that would be interesting."

After observing Zhong Ziyang several times, Tao Qian actually became cautious.

Now, having heard Yuan Gong's advice, he couldn't help but think:

"I would indeed like to see Zhong Ziyang win the spell battle, settle down the two hundred thousand people, and also accompany him to meet the First Hidden Dragon Emperor Ying Qing, whom the Primordial Sect has identified as the most likely to conquer the world."

"The reason is simple: the location of the Yu Ding, one of the Nine Provinces' Twelve Treasures, is in the Capital City of New Moon Province, Shangyang City."

"The records say that Ying Qingdi and his followers are secretly plotting to initiate an uprising in 'Shangyang City' to take over New Moon Province."

"Before going, I still need to figure out a way to get some information out of Zhong Ziyang... In case I really get duped by this Taishang True Inheritence, it would be a big embarrassment."

As Tao Qian settled on this idea.

In the sky above, as if to confirm what Yuan Gong had said.

After a brief struggle, Zhong Ziyang suddenly swung his sleeve. It was unclear what kind of Divine Skill it was, but an explosive Mana eruption centered on his Dao Body created a stormy turmoil of Yin and Yang, and with golden light flashing, hundreds of Yellow Turban Warriors were summoned to drive the three away.

Zhong Ziyang then unfastened a ringing Yellow Gourd from his waist, pulled the stopper, and poured it towards the three.

From the mouth of the gourd, millions of hair-thin white gleams burst out like a tide.

Anyone who glimpsed it would feel their soul pain as if countless tiny needles started frantically moving and piercing inside their body, instantly mashing up your flesh, while also experiencing the most terrible torture.

Yang Tingjian, Xie Lingzhu, and Li Fulian were all cultivators skilled in combat, sensing the danger at the sight.

With great tacit understanding, each took a different path, planning to bypass first and then attack together.

But who expected?

The fine white needles moved even faster, instantly catching up to the three and enclosing them first.

In an instant, the entire sky turned white.

The three were enveloped and suppressed by some kind of array formed by tens of thousands of fine needles and dared not move again.

Even Li Fulian, who had cultivated the Shaoqing Sword Skill, looked helpless at this moment.

His internal Sword Intent surged, yet it could not surpass the crisis of life and death.

He had a premonition: if he fought desperately, he could indeed release terrifying Sword Intent, break the array, and strike Zhong Ziyang with one blow.

But doing so would come at a great cost.

His Dharma Body would surely be destroyed.

The next moment, advice from Zhong Ziyang confirmed this premonition.

"Three Daoist fellows, don't move rashly."

"These fine needles are called 'White Eyebrow Dust Needles,' each one is refined from my heartfelt efforts, capable of both saving and killing."

"A total of 169,872 needles, under the control of my Divine Soul and mind, can instantly form a simple 'Taiqing Yin-Yang Dust Array.'"

"Below the Ultimate Happiness Realm, anyone trapped in my array is at my mercy."

"All three of you are true practitioners and should be able to see through the details, so no need for me to actually make a move."

"How about considering this spell battle as my win?"
