Last time, I was careless and let Cihang escape. This time, Randeng is going all out.

Even if he can't obtain the complete inheritance, he must quickly kill Cihang.

But he didn't expect that Cihang would also possess a high-grade spiritual treasure, comparable to the Heaven Measuring Ruler.

The moment the two collided, they tore through the void, and a massive storm obscured divine sense and vision.

Without a word, Cihang used the recoil force to speed towards the west.

When space stabilized, Cihang was almost out of Randeng's sight.

"Hmph, you still want to escape? Wishful thinking!"

Randeng patted the Nine-Colored Deer beneath him and sped towards Cihang.

The Heaven Measuring Ruler struck again, smashing down at Cihang.

However, this time he didn't go all out, fearing Cihang would use the opportunity to escape again.

He was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal; he could wear Cihang down even by sheer attrition.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Cihang once again summoned the Earth Spirit Pearl to counterattack.

Although both were high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, Cihang was at a significant disadvantage in terms of cultivation.

Immense shockwaves continuously pressed down on Cihang.

"Cihang, give up. I only want your opportunities.

As long as you hand over your opportunities and spiritual treasures to me, I will not only let you go, but I will also take you as my disciple."

Randeng continued to attack while also trying to persuade Cihang.

"You, Randeng, were just born a few years earlier.

Take me as your disciple? You, Randeng, are not worthy!

We both listened to the Dao in Zixiao Palace, why is your cultivation only Grand Unity?"

Since their masks were off, Cihang was not polite at all.

"Cihang, you deserve to die?"

Randeng was furious upon hearing this, and the power of the Heaven Measuring Ruler instantly surged.

Cihang's words had completely struck Randeng's sore spot.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The spiritual treasure unleashed a tremendous impact, almost sending Cihang flying.

"Cauldron, defend!"

Cihang shouted, and the Creation Cauldron surged into his physical body again, elevating his physique to the Taiyi realm.

With his physical body strengthened, Cihang instantly stabilized his footing and gained greater control over the Earth Spirit Pearl.

A rainbow light also rose around Feather Spirit, protecting Cihang within as it flew at high speed.

"Randeng, you have repeatedly bullied me. Do you really think I have no power to retaliate?

All Beings Seal, descend!"

The All Beings Seal flew out, smashing down at Randeng like an ancient divine mountain.

"Another Innate Spiritual Treasure! Cihang, how are you so fortunate to have such opportunities!"

Randeng formed seals with his hands, transforming into thousands of divine abilities, striking down at the All Beings Seal.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The All Beings Seal, carrying immense power, shattered wave after wave of divine abilities and continued to press towards Randeng.

The power of the earth around them also gathered, merging into the All Beings Seal, making it increasingly heavy and terrifying.

"Spirit Coffin Lamp, emerge!"

An ancient lamp appeared above Randeng's head, pouring out dark flames.

In an instant, it evolved into a sea of netherworld fire.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The All Beings Seal continuously smashed down, suppressing and fiercely clashing with the netherworld fire sea.

Although it was only a low-grade spiritual treasure, its origin was still above the Spirit Coffin Lamp.

As the boundless power of the earth converged, the All Beings Seal did not weaken; instead, it grew stronger.

"What a fine low-grade spiritual treasure, to be able to resist my Spirit Coffin Lamp!"

Randeng was now a mix of joy and anger.

He was delighted that such a treasure was before him, yet angered that Cihang was so difficult to deal with.

A Golden Immortal was able to stalemate him for so long; this was a disgrace to Randeng.

Cihang didn't have so many thoughts. His attacks didn't stop, and his speed didn't decrease at all.

Randeng, under the pressure of the All Beings Seal, was gradually widening the distance between himself and Cihang.

"Cihang, stop struggling.

I admit your talent is good, but you are, after all, just a Golden Immortal. How much magic power do you have left?

If you stop now, I can spare your life!"

Seeing Cihang about to flee again, Randeng became anxious. He attacked with all his might while threatening Cihang.

"What a big mouth. Whose life are you going to spare?"

Suddenly, a powerful pressure appeared, causing Randeng's body to falter.

"Who?"

Randeng's expression changed drastically as he looked forward.

"We've arrived at Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain!"

Unlike Randeng, Cihang's face lit up with joy.

From beginning to end, his escape was not without a plan.

He was indeed heading west, but this direction also led to Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.

He was no match for Randeng now, but he could leverage the situation.

Even if Hongyun wasn't there, he could still seek Zhenyuanzi's help based on his friendship with Hongyun.

Fortunately, Hongyun was at Wuzhuang Temple and was willing to help him.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun."

Seeing Hongyun suddenly appear, Randeng's expression changed drastically.

"Long time no see. Are you now intercepting Golden Immortal cultivators?"

Hongyun, who was always kind, now had a hint of anger.

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. I have a personal grudge against him, which is why I personally intervened!"

Although they had both listened to the Dao in Zixiao Palace, their statuses were different.

He, Randeng, was merely a Grand Unity, while Hongyun was a Quasi-Saint.

"Personal grudge? You just coveted my treasure. I have no personal grudge against you, Randeng!"

Cihang said mockingly.

"How are you, Fellow Daoist? Are you injured?"

Hongyun ignored Randeng and asked Cihang with concern.

"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist. Thank you for coming to my aid this time."

Cihang replied with a smile.

"Why be so polite between us, Fellow Daoist? I'm relieved you're not injured!"

Hearing this, Hongyun was also somewhat relieved.

Randeng watched this scene, his face turning pale.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, Randeng was unaware that Cihang was acquainted with you.

This was indeed Randeng's fault. I apologize to you here!"

Randeng was capable of both bending and stretching. He immediately apologized to Hongyun.

"You shouldn't apologize to me.

Is this a dispute between you and Fellow Daoist Cihang?"

Hongyun looked at Randeng displeasedly, his Quasi-Saint pressure erupting once more.

"Fellow Daoist Cihang, this was my mistake, Randeng.

Shall we settle our grievances here and now?"

Although Randeng apologized with a smile, there was a hidden threat in his words.

"Alright. Our grievances arose from the opportunity of a spiritual treasure. Let it be settled by this Heaven Measuring Ruler!"

The Earth Spirit Pearl transformed into a large hand and grabbed towards the Heaven Measuring Ruler in the void.

"Cihang, how dare you!"

Forgetting about Hongyun, Randeng roared and prepared to retrieve the Heaven Measuring Ruler.

He was wary of Hongyun, but not afraid of Cihang.

If you want to snatch his spiritual treasure, even Hongyun couldn't do it.

"What is there that I dare not do!"

The Earth Spirit Pearl immediately changed direction and attacked Randeng.

The All Beings Seal simultaneously suppressed with great force.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Cihang suddenly attacked, catching Randeng off guard. Randeng quickly summoned the Spirit Coffin Lamp to resist.

Just then, Cihang summoned the Glazed Pure Vase.

"Receive!"

While Randeng was fully resisting the Earth Spirit Pearl, the Heaven Measuring Ruler was taken into the Glazed Pure Vase.

"Cihang, how dare you snatch my spiritual treasure."

Randeng roared in anger.

"Randeng, this is what you deserve!"

Cihang remained unmoved, retracting the vase and the host of spiritual treasures.

With Hongyun present, Cihang was not afraid that Randeng would attack.

"Fine, I, Randeng, admit defeat today.

Cihang, this debt will be settled another day!"

Randeng ultimately did not dare to attack, and resentfully transformed into a beam of light, fleeing into the distance.
