PS: Congratulations to nykfany for becoming the second Sect Leader.
Thank you to "Zhang Xiaozhong" for your precious monthly votes.
Hearing Zuo Ci's words, Chen Gui and his son's hearts tightened, and they instinctively moved away from Zuo Ci.
It was obvious that they wanted to distance themselves from Zuo Ci.
When Sei Itō heard this, he smiled with a strange expression and said softly, "I'm afraid you won't have that chance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Ci felt his Primordial Spirit tremble, as if it had fallen into some kind of illusion. It became abnormally slow like a snail. Zuo Ci did not dare to be negligent, and he quickly activated his Primordial Spirit, silently reciting the "Scripture of Tranquility" in his heart.
"The Great Dao is formless, but it gives birth to the heavens and the earth; the Great Dao is emotionless, but it moves the sun and the moon; the Great Dao is nameless, but it nourishes all things; I do not know its name, but I call it Dao. In Dao, there is clarity and turbidity, there is movement and stillness; when the heavens are clear and the earth is turbid, the heavens move and the earth is still. Men are pure and women are turbid … "
Under the power of the "Scripture of Tranquility" incantation, Zuo Ci's heart trembled, and he recovered from that strange feeling.
However, just as he was about to check the changes in his body, Sei Itō's figure had appeared in front of him without him noticing. He pointed at the golden light and touched his forehead.
"Suppress!"
In an instant, Zuo Ci, who had just recovered his Primordial Spirit, felt his Primordial Spirit tremble, and he was about to faint again.
Because there were very few cultivators in the world, and he had not experienced many battles in the field of Dao, he was somewhat lacking in battle experience. Fortunately, Zuo Ci's cultivation was profound enough, and his mind was stable enough. He knew what to do at the moment, so he circulated the Primordial Qi in his body and recovered. However, just as he was about to cast a Dao technique to escape from Sei Itō's grasp, he suddenly realized that his Primordial Spirit had been suppressed by some kind of mysterious Dao technique!
He felt the changes in his Primordial Spirit. Zuo Ci's expression finally changed.
"Ah!" At this moment, a cry of surprise rang out from the mouths of Chen Gui and his son.
It turned out that in the eyes of the two, the thrilling battle between Itsunari and Zuo Ci was just a matter of a moment. They only felt a blur in front of them, and Itsunari suddenly appeared in front of Zuo Ci. Then, he pointed his finger at Zuo Ci's forehead, and the latter's expression suddenly changed. His face turned ugly and gloomy.
"Fellow Daoist, you're really something," Zuo Ci said in a deep voice.
Sei Itō smiled and retracted his index finger from Zuo Ci's forehead before flicking it out again.
In an instant, a muffled "bang" was heard. Zuo Ci's head tilted up and he immediately fainted, falling face first onto the ground.
"Bang!"
Sei Itō then retracted his hand and turned to look at Chen Gui and his son.
"This subject bids farewell to Xu Province, Chen Gui. Greetings, Your Majesty. " When Chen Gui saw Sei Itō looking at him, his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly bowed with a face full of fear and trepidation.
"This subject, Lieutenant Chen Deng, greets Your Majesty." Soon after, Chen Deng also bowed down. However, compared to his father, Chen Gui's expression was much calmer. He appeared to be very magnanimous.
"You are not bad," Sei Itō said as he sized Chen Deng up. Then, he flipped his palm and produced a pill. He used psychokinesis to deliver it to Chen Deng and continued, "I see that you have an old illness that has not been cured. Although your life is not in danger for now, if it happens again in the future, you will definitely lose your life. I cherish your talent and do not wish for you to die young. Today, I will give you a pill to resolve your old illness. "
Hearing this, Chen Gui's face immediately revealed an excited expression.
Chen Deng was Chen Gui's only son. As a father, he naturally knew the condition of his precious son's body. Although it looked fine on the surface, there was an old illness in his body that had not been cured. Even the Godly Doctor Hua Tuo, who had taken over the treatment, had said that there had to be a special opportunity. He was afraid that he would not be able to cure it in his lifetime and might even be in danger of losing his life.
But who would have thought that the problem that had been lingering in his heart would actually be solved today by the Emperor that he had not taken to heart? How could he not be excited?
As for Chen Deng himself, his young face also revealed shock and disbelief, as well as a complicated expression that was a mixture of emotions. His lips moved and he was somewhat speechless.
"Take it," Sei Itō said calmly.
"Deng thanks Your Majesty for saving my life. From today onwards, I will go through water and tread on fire for Your Majesty and serve you faithfully to repay Your Majesty's kindness. "Chen Deng bowed deeply and expressed his gratitude. To the side, Chen Gui also prostrated himself in front of Sei Itō.
"I will watch," Sei Itō said.
Chen Deng straightened his body and extended his hands. With a respectful expression, he took the pill in front of him. Then, he raised his head and swallowed it without hesitation. Almost instantly, a strange warm current spread from Chen Deng's body. It was as if he was soaking in hot water, causing Chen Deng's face to reveal a comfortable expression.
To the side, Chen Gui looked at Chen Deng, whose face was becoming redder and redder, with a face full of concern, waiting for the result.
Sei Itō, who was very confident in the effects of the pill, did not mind. He directly reached out and grabbed Zuo Ci, who was on the ground, into his hand. Without saying a word to the father and son of the Chen family, he disappeared in a flash.
It wasn't until he left for a while that Chen Deng exhaled a mouthful of foul air and slowly opened his eyes.
"Yuanlong, my son, how do you feel?" Chen Gui hurriedly asked.
"Father, I feel very good. I've never felt so good before," Chen Deng replied. Then, his expression froze and he subconsciously exclaimed, "That's right, Your Majesty!"
Hearing Chen Deng's exclamation, Chen Gui was also shocked. He hurriedly looked at the place where Sei Itō had been standing. But at this time, there was no one there.
"Your Majesty is a noble person," Chen Gui exclaimed.
"Father, Zhi Zun is a wise ruler. From now on, let us properly assist His Majesty," Chen Deng said, looking at his father with a serious expression.
"That's how it should be." Chen Zhao nodded.
From then on, Tao Qian discovered that the Chen family, who had always tried to control him in government affairs, not only suddenly became extremely cooperative, but they also did their best to assist him. This greatly surprised Tao Qian, as well as the other two major families in Xuzhou, the Cao family and the Mi family. They did not understand why the father and son of the Chen family had suddenly changed.
Of course, this was a story for later. For now, let's talk about the other side.
After leaving Xuzhou with Zuo Ci, Sei Itō's figure flashed and entered the Rubik's cube world. Then, he placed Zuo Ci on the ground, bent down, and searched Zuo Ci's body.
Soon, he found a stack of silk cloth that had been folded into a square.
Sei Itō took the silk cloth, unfolded it, and lowered his head to examine it … But what made Sei Itō feel regretful was that although there were some things recorded on the silk cloth, they were all knowledge related to alchemy. It was not the Hidden Heavenly Book of Taoism that he had originally hoped to record. However, as a grandmaster of the Tripod Alchemy Sect, although the contents of the things found on Zuo Ci's body were simple and crude, they were still good things that were hard to come by. They were still somewhat useful to Sei Itō, so it was better than nothing.
After collecting the silk cloth, Sei Itō turned his head to look at Zuo Ci's old face. He reached out and placed his index finger on Zuo Ci's forehead, right in the middle of his eyebrows. The power of his Primordial Spirit stirred and flowed through his finger into Zuo Ci's mind.
In an instant, Sei Itō saw darkness and light. A huge white jade palace of unknown size appeared in front of him. A long jade staircase extended straight into the depths of the palace.
"Jade Brain Divine Court, the divine residence of Emperor Taiyi …" Looking at the palace in front of him, Sei Itō whispered to himself.
The so-called Jade Brain Divine Court and Emperor Taiyi were the names of the Primordial Spirit that resided in the Niwan Palace. The former was called in the Taoist scriptures, while the latter was a common name.
After confirming the location, Sei Itō took a step forward and walked along the jade staircase to the depths of the palace.
And this walk took him a few minutes. It was not until just now that he passed through layers of clouds that he came to an even more splendid palace. He saw a middle-aged man wearing a Yellow Dragon Emperor's robe, sitting high on a jade throne on a cloud platform. His expression was cold, but his face was eighty percent similar to Zuo Ci's.
This person was none other than Emperor Taiyi, who had manifested his Primordial Spirit, or the innate spirit called the Brain Deity.
At this moment, golden light flashed outside his body. A huge golden seal with cloud patterns floated outside his body, suppressing him around the jade throne and preventing him from leaving.
"You actually have the guts to come." Zuo Ci's Primordial Spirit on the jade throne sneered.
"Why wouldn't I dare to come?" Sei Itō took another step toward the jade throne and asked with a smile.
"This is my palace. How can I allow you to be so arrogant!" Zuo Ci said, "There are deities on the left. Let me take him down."
As soon as he finished speaking, the clouds around the palace rolled over and over. Deities that were tall or short, fat or thin, ferocious or benevolent, or humanoid or beast-like appeared from within. They surrounded Sei Itō.
"Deities in the body." Sei Itō stopped and looked at the hundred or so deities around him with a smile.
The so-called Deities in the body were like Emperor Taiyi, who lived in the Niwan Palace. They were the innate deities who manifested palaces from the vital acupoints of the human body and replaced the Qi and organs of the human body.
For example, the Deities of the Five Organs of the human body, the Crimson Palace in the Middle Dantian, the Bo Tao in the Lower Dantian, and so on …
"You have to think carefully. Cultivation is not easy. If you are destroyed today, it will be difficult for you to be born as a vessel again." Sei Itō said faintly.
"Don't be hypocritical. Since you are here today, you must be here to avenge me. How can you let me go just because of my thoughts?" Zuo Ci sneered.
"You can see through it." Sei Itō laughed softly.
"If that's the case, let's see who's the real deal."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sei Itō's Qi of Dao rolled over and over. As he changed his finger gestures, golden cloud-patterned seals appeared and shot toward the deities around him like meteors and rockets. The deities around him roared and used their special skills to meet him.
In an instant, gusts of wind, fire, giant trees, sand, golden light, evil Qi, and poisonous liquid appeared in the palace.
"Boom!"
Then, the two collided and burst out with a loud bang that shook the entire palace.
