"Senior Brother Shen, this is the Tongtian Talisman I refined!" As he spoke, Qin Hong took a jade plaque from his robe and handed it to Shen Gongbao.
"If Senior Brother Shen has anything to tell me, you can use this talisman. It can conceal the Heavenly Secrets, so even Saints cannot detect it!"
Shen Gongbao accepted the Tongtian Talisman Qin Hong handed over and tucked it into his robe.
"Good!"
With the matter settled, Qin Hong had no intention of lingering any longer.
"Senior Brother Shen, Qin Hong will be leaving first!"
With that, Qin Hong waved his hand and removed the restriction. He took Jiang Ziya with him and instantly turned into a streak of light, departing.
"Take care, Junior Brother!"
Shen Gongbao's voice stretched out with the distance.
Outside the Jade Void Palace dojo on Kunlun Mountain!
Qin Hong looked at Jiang Ziya in his hand, feeling a surge of delight.
This trip to the Jade Void Palace had yielded quite a lot.
Not only had he directly stolen away Jiang Ziya, one of the main protagonists of the Investiture of the Gods, but he had also turned Shen Gongbao, the other protagonist, to his side.
As two crucial chess pieces in the layout of the Investiture of the Gods, Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao's importance and roles went without saying.
Yet now, Qin Hong had effortlessly dismantled them both. It felt absolutely amazing!
"My dear Second Uncle, your plans were certainly thorough!"
"Jiang Ziya, who oversees the Investiture of the Gods, and Shen Gongbao, who stands opposed to Jiang Ziya, both came from your hand. Looking at it now, you truly did me a favor. It saved me the trouble of searching for them myself!"
"Right, how could I forget that one?"
A name suddenly surfaced in Qin Hong's mind: Immortal Chang'er Dingguang!
He might sound unfamiliar, but he had another name: the Joyful Buddha of Buddhism!
Immortal Chang'er Dingguang had originally been a rabbit that cultivated into a spirit. He entered Father's sect and became a member of the Interception Sect.
Yet this fellow had the skin of the Interception Sect and the bones of the Sect of Enlightenment.
When Sect Master Tongtian set up the Myriad Immortals Formation, he directly defected, catching Sect Master Tongtian off guard and leading to his defeat and the destruction of the Interception Sect!
Thinking about it now, given Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning's usual methods, he must have planted this chess piece long ago. That Dingguang Immortal was likely already Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning's pawn.
At once, a faint killing intent seeped from Qin Hong.
Whether or not Dingguang Immortal had betrayed the Interception Sect yet, Qin Hong intended to treat him as a traitor. Rather than leave a ticking bomb around, it was better to eliminate it early!
"Ding! The host has won over Crane Boy, who was supposed to be beaten up on this trip, turned Shen Gongbao to his side, and taken away Jiang Ziya. All these actions were for the sake of the bigger picture. The host now has the mindset needed to be a good successor!"
"Reward: one hundred Laws of Time and one hundred Laws of Space!"
The system's pleasant voice suddenly rang beside Qin Hong's ear, making him tremble with excitement.
"Note: one Law of Time can freely control five hundred thousand years, while one Law of Space can freely control an area spanning one million li!"
After hearing the system's explanation, Qin Hong froze on the spot.
Holy shit!
One hundred Laws of Time!
And one hundred Laws of Space!
Qin Hong was completely drowning in the sudden bliss.
The benefits of just twenty Laws of Time had already made Qin Hong as powerful as he was now. This was one hundred, plus Laws of Space. It was ridiculously awesome!
A smile spread across Qin Hong's little face as he continued flying with Jiang Ziya.
After reaching a relatively secluded place, Qin Hong and Jiang Ziya landed. Qin Hong removed the restriction on Jiang Ziya.
"Hm? Where is this?"
After the restriction was removed, Jiang Ziya looked around and asked in confusion:
"Junior Brother Qin Hong, where is this?"
"Why did you bring me here?"
Seeing Jiang Ziya's curious expression, Qin Hong coughed twice.
"Ahem..."
Then, with an exceptionally warm smile on his face, he said:
"Senior Brother Jiang, this was all arranged by my Second Uncle—your master, Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning!"
"Second Uncle thinks you're still too young, so he asked me to take you out to cultivate and broaden your horizons. It's better than staying in the Jade Void Palace!"
"After all, among all the second-generation disciples, Senior Brother Jiang could be said to be... the weakest!"
Hearing Qin Hong's words, Jiang Ziya's little face filled with sorrow.
"Is that so?"
"Sorry for the trouble, Junior Brother Qin Hong!" After considering it, Jiang Ziya asked Qin Hong:
"Junior Brother Qin Hong, where are we going to cultivate?"
"Don't worry. Since I said I would help you, Senior Brother Jiang, I certainly won't go back on my word. Let's go now!"
With that, Qin Hong brought Jiang Ziya directly into the Chaos Bead.
Within the Chaos Bead was a vast amount of Primordial Violet Qi, and it even contained a self-contained Primordial World.
Although this Primordial World had not been opened up, cultivating within it was not a problem. On the contrary, it was greatly beneficial to cultivation!
However, Qin Hong only placed Jiang Ziya at the outermost edge.
The Primordial Violet Qi was too powerful. Given Jiang Ziya's current strength, if he overdid it even slightly, he would most likely explode and die.
Using his limited control over the Chaos Bead, Qin Hong opened up a small blessed grotto-heaven near its edge and placed Jiang Ziya there.
"How does it feel?"
Qin Hong looked at Jiang Ziya and said with a smile, "Cultivating here will give you twice the results with half the effort. It will be of great benefit to you!"
"This place is extremely mysterious. It is also where the Three Pure Ones' foundations lie. Those who are not valued do not even have the right to know of it, much less enter it."
Hearing Qin Hong's words, Jiang Ziya calmed himself and sensed the dense spiritual energy. A gleam flashed through his eyes.
"The spiritual energy here is more than ten times denser than in the Jade Void Palace. It truly is an excellent place for cultivation!"
Jiang Ziya was completely stunned.
Across the entire Primordial World, the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain could be said to possess every advantage of time, terrain, and fortune. Nowhere else in the Primordial World could compare to its dense spiritual energy.
But compared to this place, it was utterly incomparable.
At once, Jiang Ziya no longer had any doubts, and all the misgivings in his heart vanished.
"Junior Brother Qin Hong, thank you so much. Ziya will definitely not disappoint you!"
Seeing Jiang Ziya's extreme excitement, Qin Hong took his little hand and smiled.
"Why be so polite with me, Senior Brother Ziya?"
"The Three Pure Ones are one family. You and I are fellow disciples!"
"Besides, among the Three Sects, you and I are probably the youngest. If I do not stay close to Senior Brother Ziya, then who should I stay close to?"
"Cultivate well, Senior Brother Ziya. When you emerge from seclusion, an important task will be waiting for you!"
After Qin Hong's round of smooth talking, the gratitude on Jiang Ziya's face deepened. Hearing the word "task," his expression immediately changed, and he said solemnly:
"Good!"
"Ziya will definitely cultivate diligently and never fail Junior Brother Qin Hong or Master's expectations!"
Seeing that Jiang Ziya had now been thoroughly talked into submission, Qin Hong nodded in satisfaction before leaving the Chaos Bead.
"Second Uncle, Jiang Ziya is one of my people now. Let's see how you can still preside over the Investiture of the Gods!"
A cold glint flashed in Qin Hong's eyes.
The Chaos Bead was a Chaos supreme treasure capable of concealing the Heavenly Secrets. Even if Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning calculated until his fingers were worn down, he would still be unable to divine anything.
Afterward, Qin Hong did not linger any longer. He immediately set off for Jin'ao Island.
Now that he had obtained another hundred Laws of Time, he could raise his cultivation realm to another level!
