NFBE Chapter 259 Cooperation with the Tongtian Cult Master
Chapter 259 Cooperation with the Tongtian Cult Master
Jin'ao Island, Biyou Palace.
The Tongtian Sect Leader's eyes were like torches, fixed on the figure whose back straightened instantly after he finished speaking.
Yang Jiao felt as if facing a formidable enemy.
The Primordial Purple Qi is the foundation for becoming a saint, an opportunity that everyone in the Three Realms desires.
Just like Hongyun back then, everyone knew that the last wisp of primordial purple energy was on him, and the three realms surrounded and pursued him.
He was tricked and killed by Kunpeng, and his soul was intercepted and destroyed by the Styx Ancestor.
As for himself, his strength was far inferior to that of Daoist Hongyun, and the strength of the person who had exposed him was far above that of Ancestor Styx.
She was drenched in sweat, and her fingers were cramping from the tension.
Yang Jiao's greatest strength is also her most feared fatal weakness!
Yang Jiao feigned composure, turned to look at the Tongtian Sect Leader who already seemed to understand, and feigned confusion. The words that were about to come out trembled, and after circling in her throat twice, she slowly said:
"What is the cult leader saying? Yang Jiao doesn't understand."
The Master of Heaven suddenly smiled.
It lacked some of its imposing aura, instead revealing a hint of arrogance and stubbornness.
"If you didn't possess the Primordial Purple Qi, you wouldn't have come here to say these things to me. What are you plotting?"
The Tongtian Sect Leader leaned forward, making her feel even more oppressed. Although the overwhelming pressure did not harm Yang Jiao in the slightest, it terrified her.
Every action of a sage can influence the changes in the weather and the heavens.
If the Tongtian Sect Leader had even the slightest thought of seizing the Primordial Purple Qi, Yang Jiao's soul would be destroyed in the next second.
Even if her uncle were the Jade Emperor, it wouldn't make the Tongtian Sect Leader hesitate in the slightest.
Yang Jiao shook her head again, vehemently denying it:
"If the Primordial Purple Qi were in my body, my cultivation would have reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal level long ago."
The Primordial Purple Qi is a natural manifestation of the interaction between heaven and earth. Just a wisp of it can grant mortals without any cultivation or practice infinite lifespan, and their cultivation will progress much faster than that of any cultivator with high talent and deep roots. With a clear Dao heart, they can transcend mortals, achieve the Dao fruit of celestial immortality, and become pure and natural immortals.
She then said regretfully:
"Right now, I'm just a celestial being."
The Master of the Heavenly Realm chuckled, his gaze flashing over Yang Jiao before he pointed out:
"Suppressing your cultivation level must be unpleasant, right?"
In order to prevent the Primordial Purple Qi from being exposed, Yang Jiao suppressed her rapidly increasing cultivation level within her body.
Every day, he has to spend a lot of energy suppressing the spiritual power that is expanding to the point of bursting out of his body.
The process of suppression is extremely painful. The meridians throughout the body will flourish due to the abundance of spiritual energy. When forcibly suppressed within the Celestial Realm, one must forcibly compress the vast magical power into threads, like thousands of needles traveling throughout the body.
If you're not careful, you could even explode and die.
Yang Jiao looked at the Tongtian Sect Leader in astonishment, her fear rising once again.
"Is this... a saint?"
He didn't even need to use his divine sense; with just a casual glance, all of Yang Jiao's pretense was exposed before him.
Therefore, there are several people who can see through their intention to suppress their cultivation.
At this moment, his burning desire to survive until he achieved sainthood reached its peak.
Yang Jiao dared not utter another word. Even if she took out the Red Cloud and fled now, she would still be no match for the speed of the Tongtian Sect Leader.
Before I knew it, my undershirt was soaked with sweat.
The Tongtian Sect Leader slowly descended the steps, approaching Yang Jiao step by step.
She instinctively took a step back.
Be extremely vigilant.
Prior to this, Yang Jiao's conversations with the Tongtian Sect Leader were all about the Investiture of the Gods, and he had not revealed anything about the Primordial Purple Qi.
With just these few words, the Tongtian Sect Leader concluded that the Primordial Purple Qi was on himself.
How intelligent!
How could someone like that be schemed against by other sects to the point of losing all his disciples and ending up in seclusion?
What exactly is he planning?
Seeing that the Tongtian Sect Leader was only a few steps away from her, Yang Jiao hurriedly said:
"A counter-strategy? The leader deliberately allowed his disciple to be included in the Investiture of the Gods!"
What was initially just a guess suddenly became certain the moment Yang Jiao blurted it out.
He did it on purpose.
Even if the Jie Sect eventually disintegrates, in other words, its people will still be everywhere.
The Master of the Heavenly Sect remained expressionless.
Yang Jiao was left unsure of what to do, whether to live or die.
She kept calling out 'System' in her heart.
However, at this moment, even the system seemed to be offline, showing no reaction whatsoever.
But... isn't the system a virtual thing? How could it hide itself just because it's near a saint?
So, what exactly is the system within me?
Numerous doubts seemed to be trying to burst Yang Jiao's brain. Her head was throbbing, and she could see the figure of the person in front of her as double.
The intense pressure of her cultivation within her body surged as her mind became unstable, causing Yang Jiao's eyes to bleed profusely, with two bloody streaks sliding down her eye sockets.
His height increased by ten centimeters in an instant, and his hair grew wildly, growing bigger in a short period of time.
The Tongtian Sect Leader's brows furrowed deeply. After clearly seeing Yang Jiao's future appearance, he gently touched her brow with his fingertip.
"It's not the right time yet."
He pondered for a moment, and the turbulent spiritual energy around Yang Jiao instantly calmed down.
He looked like he was in his teens again.
Those two lines of bloody tears mysteriously disappeared.
After the manic energy within her subsided, Yang Jiao instantly regained her senses and looked at him with even greater caution.
The Grand Master of Heaven only asked one question:
What are you afraid of?
This question wasn't really about wanting an answer.
He smiled and answered to himself:
"What you are afraid of, I am concerned about."
Yang Jiao clenched her fists tightly.
How could he not only guess that the Primordial Purple Qi was on him based on just a few words, but also guess what he feared most in his heart?
If even saints are this terrifying, then what about those above saints...?
She gazed at the sky beyond Biyou Palace, then looked down at the ground beneath her feet.
Heaven is ruthless; it treats all things like straw dogs.
Yang Jiao scoffed softly and said in a low voice:
"What 'the way of Heaven' means to take from those who have more than enough and give to those who have less than enough? It's clearly... the way of Heaven means to take from those who have less than enough and give to those who have more than enough."
Inspirational quotes and motivational sayings are only meant for ants.
They teach the ants to obey, make them submit, and finally tell them not to ask for too much.
The Way of Balance.
What is balanced is the extremely small number of people on one side of the scale and the billions of people on the other side.
In the later Dharma-ending Age, the laws of heaven and earth gradually collapsed, the great calamity raged, and the world fell into chaos, with no distinction between humans, gods, ghosts, and demons.
Selfishness and baseness are the guiding principles, and materialism runs rampant.
It is precisely this dark world that may be the real reason that prompted Yang Jiao to travel through time.
She stood before the Master of Heaven, her gaze unwavering and earnest, and stated the truth without any concealment:
"If you kill me, you will be able to obtain another strand of Primordial Purple Qi."
The Tongtian Sect Leader remained unmoved.
Yang Jiao knew that she had made the right bet this time.
He won't kill himself.
After all, the Primordial Purple Qi they relied on to achieve the status of saints originated from the Heavenly Dao, a great Dao bestowed by the Ancestor Hongjun. However, the Primordial Purple Qi that has now merged into her own body has no known origin.
Yang Jiao bowed respectfully to the Tongtian Sect Leader and said softly:
"Thank you for your help, Master Tongtian. I will take my leave now."
This time, she moved quickly, turning around and leaving immediately.
Just as she was about to cross the threshold of the lecture hall of Biyou Palace, she suddenly heard the Tongtian Sect Leader's emotionless voice behind her:
“Interesting. In this game, I will make the first move.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Jiao's tense nerves instantly relaxed, her lips curved slightly upward into a charming arc, and her eyes sparkled with joy.
Suddenly, my heart felt bright and clear.
The past and present are not fixed, and the future is still unknown.
