Chapter 592 Seeing is Believing, Passing the Test Easily

Inside the light screen, Mu Qingyan was still talking eloquently, but Yuanshi and Tongtian had long since No-Mind in watching.

Tongtian stared at Zheng Fa, seemingly Qi Ingestion, and nitpicked, "So many kinds of Law Artifact, so many kinds of Cultivation Method, sounds impressive, but who knows the details?"

Zheng Fa looked at the Nuwa.

The Nuwa nodded slightly and smiled, "After all, we were unable to witness it with our own eyes."

Zheng Fa asked Tongtian, " Heavenly Dao, how can one verify the truth with one's own eyes?"

"Simple!" Tongtian pointed at the woman beneath him. "You say Human Race are superior to these Precelestial Realm beings, but that's just empty talk. Let my disciple give it a try."

He sprinkled a few points of blue starlight from his fingers, and the starlight fell on the woman's head, making her expression suddenly become much more lively.

She looked at Zheng Fa with an eager expression, seemingly wanting to avenge her fellow disciples.

To Zheng Fa's surprise, the woman's aura suggested she was Loose Immortal.

"Although you haven't attained the Dao Fruit," Tongtian seemed to see his surprise, "You still possess the strength of Loose Immortal. My disciple's cultivation was originally higher than yours, but he won't take advantage of you."

"May I ask your esteemed name, fellow Daoist?"

"I am the Holy Mother Guiling of my master!" the woman said in a sweet, melodious voice.

Holy Mother Guiling?

He was quite familiar with this woman's name, and had even complained about it before. Although the name was a bit rustic, as a Tongtian disciple of Tongtian, her strength was not to be underestimated.

He wasn't afraid; he'd fought against Loose Immortal before.

Zheng Fa was about to speak when he suddenly heard Yuanshi speak up, "Turtle Spirit alone may not be able to handle it, why not let Yellow Dragon join in the fun?"

"?"

As soon as Yuanshi Daoren sat down, a middle-aged man in a yellow robe stepped forward with a powerful gait and bowed to Zheng Fa.

This is probably Yellow Dragon True Person. The aura he exudes at this moment is probably at the level of Loose Immortal.

"Elder brother?" Yuanshi seemed to feel that this was not enough and looked at Taishang.

The Taishang Daoist shook his head and said softly, "I have no disciples. Do you expect me to take action myself?"

Zhunти thought for a moment, looked to his right, and called out, " Ksitigarbha! Come and ask this fellow Daoist for his guidance."

Upon hearing the order, a handsome young monk stood up from behind his desk, walked to Zheng Fa's Zheng Fa side, and bowed respectfully with his hands clasped in front of him, his face showing curiosity.

Zheng Fa looked at the three, including Holy Mother Guiling, and then at the six saints whose expressions remained unchanged. He knew perfectly well that this was probably a test that had been planned in advance.

Now, he is the only Human Race in the arena. The Creation Daoist and others cannot enter. If they want to verify the strength of the Human Race, they can only test him.

On the other hand, he is also the only Human Race might obtain this fortuitous opportunity.

Ultimately, actions speak louder than words; the most direct evidence is what matters most.

Seeing that he seemed to understand, Yuanshi smiled and said, "Their cultivation is already superior to yours. Even if they are at the same level, their combat power far surpasses that of a loose Loose Immortal. They also use their numbers to overpower the few, so naturally we will not take advantage of that."

"Three moves," Tongtian added. "If you haven't been defeated after three moves, then you've passed the third question."

It was clear that the requirements were not strict, and for Zheng Fa, they were even considered lenient—putting aside everything else, relying solely on his Innate Divine Ability, it wouldn't be difficult for him to withstand three moves.

Moreover, these three are probably not among the strongest of the three religions.

Yuanshi and his group did indeed want to test their mettle.

But...

Zheng Fa for a moment, then said, "I possess the Positive-Negative Five-Colored Divine Light), the Great Sun True Fire, the Rainbow Transformation Method, and the Divine Ability Within My Universe in the Sleeve, among other supernatural abilities."

The Five Sages looked at him, wondering why he brought this up. Zheng Fa continued, "These Divine Ability are all bestowed by Heavenly Dao; Human Race cannot learn them."

Tongtian seemed to understand, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Are you planning not to use it?"

"The three fellow Daoists have suppressed their cultivation. What harm is there in sacrificing some Divine Ability?" Zheng Fa looked at the three, including the Holy Mother Guiling, his eyes bright. "A single copy of the < Yellow Court Scripture > is enough."

Tongtian grinned.

However, the expressions of the three, Holy Mother Guiling, became much more serious, and even showed a hint of anger, as if they felt that Zheng Fa had underestimated them.

"Please!"

Zheng Fa and the Humanity's Dao.

The Holy Mother Guiling's voice was cold, no longer as lively as before. "I'll go first!"

The other two stopped in their tracks; it was clear that, as disciples of the Sage, they possessed their own pride.

A golden turtle phantom appeared above the head of the Holy Mother Guiling, larger than even the most majestic peak of Kunlun.

The golden turtle raised its forelegs and pressed down on Zheng Fa.

The wind howled through the hall, and disciples from both Buddhism and Daoism rose from their seats. Zhunti Zhunти the head of the table, watched the scene and sighed, "Nephew Guiling is truly Primordial Wilderness creature from the primordial era. I'm afraid even ordinary Law Treasure cannot break through her tortoise shell."

Tongtian said with some pride, "This unworthy disciple only relies on his strength and thick skin. He never cares about cultivation and only depends on his bloodline."

Yuanshi glanced at him and snorted, "Stop being so smug before you speak."

Just as they were talking, Zheng Dharma Body suddenly disappeared in the raging wind!

"Gone?"

Where did you hide?

The Buddhist and Daoist disciples watching were still somewhat confused, but Tongtian slightly opened his eyes and turned to look at Nuwa: " Blood-Winged Black Mosquito?"

Nuwa was also somewhat surprised. "I just collected them casually."

Only then did everyone realize that Zheng Fa had not disappeared, but had transformed into a tiny mosquito with blood-red wings and a ferocious shape. Instead of dodging, he faced the golden turtle phantom head-on and charged towards the Holy Mother Guiling.

Compared to his barely visible size, the golden turtle atop the Holy Mother Guiling's head was a colossal beast, its four legs resembling towering pillars supporting the sky.

Ironically, these four seemingly invincible pillars were swinging wildly in the void, and the golden turtle, as if it had lost four legs, was running backwards in a panic.

The Holy Mother Guiling looked extremely tense, staring intently at Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa's mosquitoes swayed again, multiplying from one to ten, then from ten to a hundred, and finally reaching tens of thousands, gathering into a dark cloud that enveloped the Holy Mother Guiling.

I surrender!

From within the dark clouds, the voice of the Holy Mother Guiling, sounding somewhat broken, could be heard.

Heavenly Dao's face was even darker than the clouds. Yuanshi seemed quite pleased, laughing, "These Blood-Winged Black Mosquito are the natural enemy of Junior Nephew Guiling. Anyone who gets touched by them will perish. It's not my fault, Junior Nephew."

Tongtian looked at the dejected Holy Mother Guiling and shook his head.

Zheng Fa transformed from a mosquito into human form and got carried away with the fight. Without waiting for Yellow Dragon True Person to make a move, he directly pounced on him.

Yellow Dragon True Person was startled and fled backward.

Zheng Fa was enveloped in golden light, and a Golden-Winged Great Peng burst forth from the light, its sharp claws outstretched.

Huanglong was already quite fast, but the Golden-Winged Great Peng possessed spatial Divine Ability, its wings tearing through the void as it lunged at Huanglong's chest with unstoppable speed.

As soon as Huanglong raised his head, he was so overwhelmed by the fierce aura of the Golden-Winged Great Peng that his whole body stiffened.

Zheng Fa pressed down on his chest, then flew backward with a smile on his face.

The smile on Yuanshi's face vanished, but Tongtian chuckled, "This Golden-Winged Great Peng is extremely effective against the Dragon Clan; no wonder, Nephew Huanglong..."

Yuanshi Daoist glanced at him, not wanting to pay him any attention, but looked at Zheng Fa and sighed, " The Earthly Fiend Seventy-Two Transformations are truly extraordinary; no wonder he's so confident."

Zheng Fa stood in the main hall, hands behind his back, feeling a sense of exhilaration.

This was also the first time the Earthly Fiend Seventy-Two Transformations were used in actual combat, and the effect was extremely outstanding.

Compared to using various Law Treasure Divine Ability, using the Cultivation Method he created himself gave Zheng Fa a different kind of pleasure.

In his previous battles, he relied heavily on his Innate Divine Ability. If it weren't for the Earthly Fiend Seventy-Two Transformations, he wouldn't dare say he wouldn't use those Innate Divine Ability.

While Innate Divine Ability have endless uses, the Earthly Fiend Seventy-Two Transformations are extremely useful against enemies of similar strength, such as the Holy Mother Guiling.

The greatest advantage of this Food Chain Battle Method is that it can be adapted to local conditions and the enemy's situation.

Just like the Holy Mother Guiling and the Yellow Dragon, their strength is certainly more than that, but when facing their natural enemies, they can only exert 30% of their full power, while Zheng Fa's strength can be doubled. With this disparity, they were defeated in an instant.

More importantly, this Cultivation Method can be extended to all disciples, and even the entire Human Race.

What could better demonstrate the wisdom and achievements of Human Race, and better Human Race future, than the * Yellow Court Scripture *?

Yuanshi and Tongtian couldn't help but look at Zhunти, also curious about how his disciple Ksitigarbha would perform under Zheng Fa's strong leadership.

Zhunти smiled gently, remaining calm and composed, showing no worry whatsoever, and simply gazed at Ksitigarbha.

Ksitigarbha's hands are bound inside, with his two middle fingers pointing upwards towards each other.

Although Ksitigarbha appeared young, and having witnessed Zheng Fa's effortless defeat of Gui Ling and the other two, his expression remained remarkably calm.

He seemed to have taken advantage of the time Zheng Fa spent dealing with the other two to prepare himself, and at this moment he said to Zheng Fa, "Benefactor, your strength is extraordinary; this humble monk is far inferior."

Zheng Fa, however, did not underestimate Ksitigarbha.

In the legends of the Primordial Wilderness, this person was inconspicuous and had little presence, but that doesn't mean he wasn't strong!

"This Fundamental Seal is Divine Ability bestowed upon me by my master. It originally required some time to perform, but I have indeed taken a shortcut. Please, benefactor, assess it!"

Ksitigarbha spoke extremely quickly, and even faster was his Divine Ability. A burst of golden light shone from the tip of his middle finger, spreading outwards to form a golden spherical barrier.

"This is the Womb Treasury Realm." Ksitigarbha's form vanished, but his voice remained steady. "Immunity to all laws and the salvation of wronged souls are the fundamental principles of my learning."

Zheng Fa was enveloped by the Womb Treasury Realm, and he felt waves of Sanskrit chants in his ears, drilling into his brain through his seven orifices.

The boundary membrane of the Womb Treasury Realm is like a diamond, appearing indestructible.

"This Divine Ability is indeed difficult to break. As expected of your disciple, very clever."

Yuanshi's expression was somewhat indifferent, and also somewhat annoyed.

Tongtian's expression wasn't very pleasant.

In Ksitigarbha strength, Ksitigarbha is not as good as his two disciples, but he seems to have been prepared from the beginning. While Zheng Fa was dealing with Gui Ling and the other two, he set up the Womb Treasury Realm, which even had a hint of a sneak attack.

Compared to the two fools, Guiling Holy Mother Guiling and her companion, who blindly ran into Zheng Fa's Earthly Fiend Seventy-Two Transformations, this seemed much smarter.

" The Womb Treasury Realm possesses the power of Vajra Immovability, making it difficult for him to emerge," Zhunти chuckled. "Otherwise, if all the disciples of our three sects were defeated by him in a single move, where would we put our old faces?"

Tongtian and Yuanshi exchanged a glance, both wanting to curse in their hearts—if Ksitigarbha had won, they would have been even more humiliated!

The group looked at Zheng Fa Zheng Fa, only to see him touching the womb membrane in the Womb Treasury Realm, seemingly quite curious.

He looked towards Tongtian and the others outside the Womb Treasury Realm, and suddenly spoke again, " The Yellow Court Scripture was created by my Nine Mountains Sect, and it is also the most powerful Cultivation Method of my Nine Mountains Sect."

Tongtian and the others frowned slightly, not understanding what Zheng Fa meant by those words. Did he intend to admit defeat?

The Creation Jade Disc flew out from his sea of consciousness, its surface shimmering with precious light, and transformed into a blue flying sword.

"Before me, there was a great Human Race." Zheng Fa stroked the Green Duckweed Sword, which had been transformed from the Creation Jade Disc, his spiritual energy circulating according to the < Green Duckweed Sword Canon >. "He left behind a philosophy and Cultivation Method that will benefit future generations for life, which has also been absorbed by my < Yellow Court Scripture >."

The Green Duckweed Sword in his hand struck the Womb Treasury Realm with lightning speed.

The Womb Treasury Realm shattered like glass, and Zheng Fa emerged from the fragments of the womb membrane. Ksitigarbha's figure appeared in the void, facing Zhunти, with lowered eyes and no words, as if in shame.

Zheng Fa drew his sword, stood before the six sages, and said, " The Human Race is not just me, nor is it just my sect."

The six sages looked at Zheng Fa and remained silent.

Tongtian suddenly slapped his thigh and laughed, "I thought you'd pass this test if you didn't lose in three moves, but I never expected you to take them down in one move each."

His expression at that moment seemed extremely happy.

Yuanshi glanced at him sideways and asked Zheng Fa, "Was that move you just made the Green Duckweed Sword?"

"Yes."

"Good."

Tongtian looked even happier, clearly feeling that Zheng Fa had just made him look good.

Yuanshi continued, "He has learned better than all the disciples under Tongtian's tutelage."

"..."

Tongtian snorted lightly, seemingly disdainful of arguing with his second brother, and instead looked at Nuwa: "If you ask me, with his achievements, what are you still fussing about, Junior Sister?"

"I don't."

Nuwa suddenly spoke.

"No?"

Even Zheng Fa was taken aback, looking at the Nuwa, when he heard her continue:

"If he can answer why he is Human Race, he will pass."

Nuwa looked at Zheng Fa with a smile in her eyes, "If you can understand why I created the Human Race, and if the Human Race understands why it is strong, then my creation of humans was the right thing to do."

Zheng Fa opened his mouth, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Then let us test you..."

Tongtian hurriedly asked.

Nuwa smiled slyly, "My fellow disciples are all so talented, I'm quite envious. I've created humans and obtained such a gifted individual, how can I not show it off?"

Zheng Fa looked at the Nuwa and thought to himself that this was outrageous.

Behind him, the three members of the Holy Mother Guiling were even more dumbfounded, looking as if they had seen a ghost. "Your Majesty, are you having fun? What are we to you?"

The Supreme Lord, who had remained Taishang silent and aloof, finally spoke up, "Well, I do have some interest in the * Yellow Court Scripture *."

Outside the Jade Void Palace's illusionary realm, the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the others had not yet left.

Don't be fooled by the Golden-Winged Great Peng's miserable state; it only proves the extraordinary nature of those six powerful beings—even a fool would know that the fortuitous opportunity of this world likely lie in the hands of these six.

If I could catch the eye of those six...

Therefore, even though they were worried about angering the six again, the Creation Daoist and the others were reluctant to leave. They just wanted to wait for them to come out and try their fortuitous opportunity again.

More than half a month later, the Gu God suddenly looked up.

Everyone looked in that direction.

Behind the clouds, a magnificent palace stands.

The palace doors swung open, and figures flew out one after another.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the six figures they both feared and longed for.

" Founder!"

White Lotus called out softly, her voice trembling with excitement.

The others glanced at him, feeling a pang of envy. Now that they knew how special these six were, the powerful figures White Lotus had latched onto were truly enviable.

Zhunти and Jieyin ignored the junior. They left the palace but did not leave. Instead, they stood in the clouds and looked back.

Immediately afterwards, the Three Pure Ones came out side by side. The five of them exchanged a few words, then turned around, as if waiting for someone.

White Lotus and the others craned their necks to look, and saw Zheng Fa and Nuwa walking together, talking to each other.

The other five saints also became interested and joined in, each contributing their own comments.

"This..."

As White Lotus watched Zheng Fa chatting and laughing with his Founder, the slight smugness on her face gradually vanished completely.
