Chapter 1789: Chapter 18: Master’s Excellent Kick! (Part 2)
"I know your Gengzi Tuoye Army isn’t lacking in numbers right now; tons of experts want to join. So, why not let these two try the poison? Whenever you encounter a new native species, just give it to them to eat!"
"Yeah, if they die, it’s on me!"
"Alright, alright, it’s settled then."
...
After chatting, the Five Poison Emperor noticed Zuo Qiyu looking at him with a disdainful expression.
"What’s up with that look, like you’ve eaten crap?" the Five Poison Emperor asked.
"Does Senior Gu know about your disgraceful deeds?"
"Which ones are you talking about?"
"??"
Zuo Qiyu was momentarily at a loss for words.
The Five Poison Emperor said, "Since it’s disgraceful, how could I possibly tell him? I just get my people to do it without tarnishing Senior Gu’s good name."
"Then why do you keep dragging me into it?" Zuo Qiyu gritted his teeth.
"You’re the Primordial Envoy, you can handle the consequences," the Five Poison Emperor grinned. "I’m just a Thousand Stars member; I don’t have the same reputation as you."
"If you hadn’t messed up, you’d be a Primordial Envoy by now!"
"I can’t do it," the Five Poison Emperor shook his head. "When given authority, I just want to position my close ones. That’s why I’ve never been chosen as a Primordial Envoy."
"You know this but won’t change? You’re like a living dog!"
The Five Poison Emperor waved his hand, muttering, "Arranging good places for disciples was the norm in the era of Ancient Sects, so it’s only fitting that you remain as this lousy Envoy... Oh? Old Hongshan."
...
In Coral City, the Five Poison Emperor, Emperor Hongshan, and Zuo Qiyu met.
Upon hearing the Five Poison Emperor’s greeting, Emperor Hongshan wasn’t annoyed; he simply smiled and saluted, "Brother Wu Xing, Daoist Brother Zuo."
"Old Hongshan, what brings you to my disciple’s place?" the Five Poison Emperor asked warily.
"Zhao Xing has achieved the First Layer of the ’Extreme Continent’. I’m here to find Brother Wu Xing," Emperor Hongshan said. "According to the rules, I’m supposed to introduce him to the subsequent Cultivation Technique at the Ancient Hill. If Brother Wu Xing agrees, Zhao Xing could be exchanged to the Ancient Hill for a period of training."
"He’s not going, not going!" The Five Poison Emperor waved his hand. "He’s not going; you should leave. I’ll scrap his Extreme Continent Technique shortly."
Emperor Hongshan: "..."
Zuo Qiyu: "..."
Though Emperor Hongshan seldom interacts with the Five Poison Emperor, he didn’t expect him to have such a vile temperament.
Scrapping Zhao Xing—can you even ask if he’s willing?
But Zhao Xing’s true identity is none other than Emperor Tianning!
"If Brother Wu Xing doesn’t wish for him to travel far, perhaps we could negotiate. Spending some time in the Primordial Realm would suffice... How about summoning him for a meeting first?" Emperor Hongshan patiently suggested.
The Five Poison Emperor wanted to refuse, but Zuo Qiyu stopped him, "You fool, what are you doing? Don’t let Emperor Hongshan get suspicious."
"Fine," The Five Poison Emperor had no choice but to acquiesce and summon Zhao Xing for appearances.
......
At that moment, Zhao Xing wasn’t in Huai Liu Courtyard within Coral City but in the Primordial Dojo.
He was sparring with Youling Fairy in the Boundary Star Arena.
When he switched from solo training mode, the first invitation he received was from Youling Fairy.
They had agreed to battle again upon entering the Primordial Conference.
Thanks to Youling Fairy’s guidance, Zhao Xing had once mastered the Great Divine Power of World Technique, [Yin Yang Boundary]. Now, Zhao Xing was finally fulfilling that promise.
On the vast Boundary Star Arena, Zhao Xing and Youling Fairy appeared at opposite ends of the Boundary Star.
The rules were exactly the same as those of the Primordial Conference arena battle back then.
But now, Zhao Xing was completely different from his past self.
"Zhao Xing, I didn’t expect you to progress so quickly, despite wasting a millennium with Zuo Qiyu, and still reaching the Sun Seventh Rank of the Dojo," Youling Fairy excitedly looked at a green defensive barrier ahead.
It was merely composed of simple, resilient vines, but Youling Fairy wasn’t looking at this line-up. She was looking beneath the surface.
"No projection traces, melding as one with the void; it seems your World Technique has reached a profound level too." Youling Fairy stuck out her rosy tongue, licking her lips.
"Here we go."
After her tongue brushed over, it seemed to lick the first barrier, turning the resilient vine red.
The line of resilient vines instantly became under her control and transformed into Cloud-climbing Vine.
She immediately deployed two spells: Xuanling Seed Borrowing Method, Yuan Vine Immortal!
"Impressive." Watching his front-line troops diminish, Zhao Xing couldn’t help but admire inwardly.
"Youling Fairy possesses Eight Great Divine Abilities, with her strongest being two Parasitic Divine Powers—the Xuanling Seed Borrowing Method and Visual Parasitism."
"I’m at the Sun Dojo Seventh Rank, she’s Eighth Rank; the gap is already quite small."
"In Origin Space terms, I’m at 75% Second Layer of the Hun Yuan Realm; she’s perfect in the Silent Annihilation Realm Second Layer, the difference isn’t huge, and due to the Extreme Continent Technique causing my Origin Space to be somewhat stronger than hers."
"Thus, the gap between World Techniques is also neck and neck."
"Yet she still managed to seize my troops because of the ’Xuanling Seed Borrowing Method’."
"Truly, the ultimate art of the Three Treasures Dao Sect."
Xuanling Seed Borrowing Method belongs to the parasitic type of Secret Technique, excelling at controlling enemy troops!
Only nobody knows exactly how it’s done; this Secret Technique is extremely twisted.
Like the Void Grassman, both belong to extraordinarily advantageous secretive techniques.
"Buzzing sounds~"
The traitorous resilient vine, after undergoing the transformation spell ’Yuan Vine Immortal’, had mutated into a Cloud-climbing Vine, unleashing Void Condensation and Void Strangulation, starting a massive assault on Zhao Xing’s domain.
A large number of plant troops either died or were infiltrated by Youling Fairy, while Youling Fairy was also looking for Zhao Xing’s true form.
