Jiang Ziya, Tricked and Crippled

"Senior Brother Shen is here. This is the Tongtian Talisman I refined!" As he spoke, Qin Hong took out a jade token from his embrace and handed it to Shen Gongbao.

"Senior Brother Shen, you can use this talisman to inform me of anything. It can conceal heavenly secrets, and Saints cannot detect it!"

Taking the Tongtian Talisman from Qin Hong, Shen Gongbao put it away in his embrace.

"Good!"

Seeing that the matter was settled, Qin Hong had no intention of staying any longer.

"Senior Brother Shen, Qin Hong will take his leave now!"

With that, Qin Hong waved his hand, removed the restriction, and instantly turned into a stream of light with Jiang Ziya, disappearing into the distance.

"Farewell, Junior Brother!"

Shen Gongbao's voice stretched out, long and drawn out by the distance.

Outside the Jade Void Palace dojo, within Kunlun Mountain!

Qin Hong looked at Jiang Ziya in his hands, a wave of happiness washing over him.

This trip to the Jade Void Palace had been incredibly fruitful.

Not only had he directly stolen Jiang Ziya, one of the main characters of the Investiture of the Gods, but he had also directly won over the other protagonist, Shen Gongbao.

As two crucial pieces in the grand scheme of the Investiture of the Gods, the importance and roles of Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao were self-evident.

Yet, Qin Hong had easily resolved them both. It felt incredibly satisfying!

"My good Second Uncle, your planning was quite thorough!"

"Jiang Ziya, who oversees the Investiture of the Gods, and Shen Gongbao, who is his adversary, both came from you. Now it seems you've truly done a good deed! It saves me the effort of searching!"

"Oh, right, how could I forget about that one?"

A name suddenly appeared in Qin Hong's mind: Chang'er Dingguang Immortal!

He might sound unfamiliar, but he had another name: the Joyful Buddha of Buddhism!

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal was originally a rabbit that cultivated into a spirit. He became a disciple of his father and joined the Sect of Interception.

However, this fellow was of the Sect of Interception in name but of the Sect of Enlightenment in heart.

When Sect Master Tongtian set up the Myriad Immortals Formation, this guy directly defected, causing Sect Master Tongtian to be tricked and ultimately defeated, leading to the downfall of the Sect of Interception!

Thinking back, according to the Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning's usual methods, he must have planted a pawn long ago. This Dingguang Immortal was likely already a pawn of the Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning.

Immediately, a faint killing intent surged from Qin Hong.

Regardless of whether this Dingguang Immortal had betrayed the Sect of Interception at this point, Qin Hong decided to treat him as a traitor. It was better to resolve a potential ticking time bomb early!

"Ding! The host has appeased Crane Boy, whom he was supposed to get beaten up by, won over Shen Gongbao, and taken away Jiang Ziya. All these actions are for the benefit of the background setting, and the host now has the intention of being a good successor!"

"Reward: One hundred strands of the Law of Time and one hundred strands of the Law of Space!"

The system's pleasant voice suddenly sounded in Qin Hong's ear, making him incredibly excited.

"Note: One strand of the Law of Time can freely control fifty million years. One strand of the Law of Space can freely control one million li of space!"

After hearing the system's explanation, Qin Hong was completely stunned.

Holy crap!

One hundred strands of the Law of Time!

And one hundred strands of the Law of Space!

At this moment, Qin Hong was completely immersed in the overwhelming joy of such a sudden windfall.

The benefits of just twenty strands of the Law of Time had already made Qin Hong as powerful as he was now. Now, with a hundred strands, and the Law of Space as well, it was simply unbelievably awesome!

A smile spread across Qin Hong's young face as he continued to fly with Jiang Ziya.

They arrived at a relatively hidden location, where Qin Hong and Jiang Ziya landed. He then released the restriction on Jiang Ziya.

"Huh? Where is this?"

After the restriction was lifted, Jiang Ziya looked around and asked curiously:

"Junior Brother Qin Hong, where is this?"

"Why did you bring me here?"

Seeing Jiang Ziya's curious expression, Qin Hong coughed twice.

"Cough, cough..."

Then, with a friendly smile, he said:

"Senior Brother Jiang, this is all arranged by my Second Uncle, your master, the Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning!"

"Second Uncle felt you were too young, so he asked me to take you to cultivate and gain some experience, which is better than staying in the Jade Void Palace!"

"After all, among all the second-generation disciples, Senior Brother Jiang can be considered... the weakest!"

Hearing Qin Hong's words, Jiang Ziya's small face showed a hint of sadness.

"Is that so?"

"Thank you for the trouble, Junior Brother Qin Hong!" Thinking this, Jiang Ziya asked Qin Hong:

"Junior Brother Qin Hong, where are we going to cultivate?"

"Don't worry, I said I would help Senior Brother Jiang, and I won't go back on my word. Let's go now!"

With that, Qin Hong and Jiang Ziya entered the Chaos Bead together.

Inside the Chaos Bead, there was a large amount of Primordial Violet Qi, and it was a Primordial World in itself.

Although this Primordial World had not been opened up, it was fine to cultivate within it. On the contrary, it was very beneficial for cultivation!

However, Qin Hong only placed Jiang Ziya in the outermost area.

The Primordial Violet Qi was too powerful. With Jiang Ziya's current strength, if he overdid it, he would basically explode and die.

Qin Hong used his minuscule control to create a small blessed land on the edge of the Chaos Bead and placed Jiang Ziya there.

"How does it feel?"

Qin Hong looked at Jiang Ziya and said with a smile, "Cultivating here will yield twice the results with half the effort, and it will be of great help to you!"

"This place is extremely mysterious, and it is also the foundation of the Three Pure Ones. Those who are not valued don't even have the right to know about it, let alone enter."

Hearing Qin Hong's words, Jiang Ziya calmed down. He felt the dense spiritual energy, and a flash of light appeared in his eyes.

"The spiritual energy here is more than ten times denser than in the Jade Void Palace. It's truly a great place for cultivation!"

At this moment, Jiang Ziya was completely stunned.

In the entire Primordial Era, Kunlun Mountain's Jade Void Palace could be said to have occupied the best timing, location, and human harmony. The density of its spiritual energy was unmatched anywhere in the Primordial Era.

But compared to this place, it was completely incomparable.

At this moment, Jiang Ziya had no more doubts, and his heart's worries were completely dispelled.

"Junior Brother Qin Hong, thank you so much. Ziya will definitely not disappoint you!"

Seeing Jiang Ziya's extreme excitement, Qin Hong took Jiang Ziya's small hand and smiled:

"Senior Brother Ziya, why are we being so polite with each other?"

"The Three Sects are one family. You and I are brothers!"

"Besides, among the Three Sects, I'm afraid you and I are the youngest. If I'm not close to Senior Brother Ziya, who else should I be close to!"

"Senior Brother Ziya, cultivate well. When you come out of seclusion, an important mission awaits you!"

After being fooled by Qin Hong, Jiang Ziya's face was filled with even more gratitude. Upon hearing the word "mission," his small face changed, and he said very solemnly:

"Okay!"

"Ziya will definitely cultivate diligently and will absolutely not let down the expectations of Junior Brother Qin Hong and my master!"

Seeing that Jiang Ziya had been completely fooled by him, Qin Hong nodded with satisfaction and then left the Chaos Bead.

"Second Uncle, Jiang Ziya is now one of my people too. I'd like to see how you're going to preside over the Investiture of the Gods now?"

A cold glint flashed in Qin Hong's eyes.

The Chaos Bead, a chaotic supreme treasure, could conceal heavenly secrets. Even if the Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning calculated with his fingers broken, he would not be able to deduce it.

After that, Qin Hong did not linger. He immediately got up and headed towards Jin'ao Island.

Now that he had obtained another hundred strands of the Law of Time, he could advance his realm and cultivation to another level!
