Hidden Danger IV (Silver Bonus Chapter for Immortal Qi Tian, Total 4)

If Xue Tong truly knows everything as he claims, then he must also know about this Token.

This is a viable approach.

'It's worth a try,' Zhang Rongfang decided.

If all else fails, then the only options are to hide, or forcibly lose the Token.

As for how it was lost, he didn't think much about it.

If things really came to that, he would have no choice but to knock the person unconscious and throw the Token far away.

Of course, this is a last resort.

The fact that Ran Xin Yue was sent to verify this matter suggests that she must be extremely capable.

If a real fight breaks out, and someone loses control, he doesn't believe that Master Yue, a cunning and calculating man, would not hold back against this person.

Immediately, Zhang Rongfang stopped overthinking, got up, changed his clothes, and went out.

A gentle evening breeze swept by.

In the blink of an eye, the other person had disappeared from the spot.

Inside the Crimson Flame Gorge.

The stream flowed gently by, and Zhang Rongfang stood by the stream, holding Wish Bell in his hand.

The moonlight streamed down in a thin line, perfectly enveloping him and the stream.

Same as last time.

He sat down cross-legged and placed the Wish Bell aside.

Then close your eyes and begin the basic meditation and visualization practice.

Listen to your heartbeat.

Forget everything around you.

Before long, the sounds of water and wind around them intertwined, forming a muffled sound.

"You're back?"

Xue Tong's voice came through intermittently.

"Senior, I've encountered a problem. Could you please help me solve it?" Zhang Rongfang said in a deep voice.

"You say."

"This junior would like to know, how can the Token of a Daoist Daozi of the Great Dao Sect detect the Daozi's Civilian Skill Cultivation? Is there a way to conceal or mislead them?" This cultivation level test was the most troubling question for Zhang Rongfang.

"Daozi Token? I don't recall any Token that can test one's Civilian Skill Cultivation," Xue Tong replied, puzzled. "Perhaps it's something he created separately later. So, I can't give you an answer."

"However," he suddenly changed the subject, "I do know another way to test Civilian Skill Cultivation at any time. If he also uses this method, it's quite possible for him to succeed."

"Please enlighten me, senior!" Zhang Rongfang said solemnly.

"In this world, the only ones who can most easily, and who most want to, measure a person's Civilian Skill Cultivation are Gods and Buddhas. They only need to separate one of their Spirit Thread to accurately measure a person's Civilian Skill Cultivation within a foot of them."

"After all, their Civilian Skill determine the limits they can reach after their arrival," Xue Tong replied calmly.

"The Spirit Thread of Gods and Buddhas!?" Zhang Rongfang's heart skipped a beat.

"That's right. Besides that, I don't know of any other way to measure a person's Civilian Skill Cultivation from a distance. After all, ordinary people don't have that ability, nor is it necessary."

"People only need to care about their own Civilian Skill progress. Only Gods and Buddhas care about the progress of others 'Civilian Skill," Xue Tong replied.

So, inside that Token...

"That's possible. You must be careful. What if it's discovered that your Civilian Skill meet the standard requirements, and you're unwilling to worship the god to whom the Token belongs?"

The Spirit Thread might ambush and pierce you at the first moment, forcibly transforming you. The Spirit Thread of Gods and Buddhas are extraordinary. "Xue Tong said.

"Transformation?"

"A forced transformation will result in God Helmet. The Ling Ting has the most of these, and the three major religions also have many. Many Worship God who have reached the limit of their lifespan will also become God Helmet and be stored in the shadows," Xue Tong sighed. "With just a command, they can mobilize at full speed. This is a power that the Gods and Buddhas Sect can directly control, so you should understand what Worship God means. And what the Divine Religion means."

"God Helmet." Zhang Rongfang felt a chill run down his spine.

If all those people Worship God every year were accumulated, how many would that number be? "The God Helmet cannot grant immortality, so you don't need to be too afraid. Right now, this thing is too far away for you. First, figure out how to deal with the Daozi Token you mentioned."

"If I'm not mistaken, you probably don't want your Civilian Skill Cultivation to be discovered, right?" Xue Tong had already guessed Zhang Rongfang's purpose from his question.

"Exactly! Please enlighten me, senior." Zhang Rongfang came back to his senses.

"I will pass on to you a technique called the Toad Seal Art. It can temporarily conceal your Civilian Skill Cultivation and adjust the total amount of essence, Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and spirit naturally released. However, remember that this technique cannot be used for long, so you need to circulate it before touching the Token. Moreover, the contact time should not be too long, no more than a hundred breaths at most," Xue Tong said in a deep voice.

"Please give me your guidance, senior!" Zhang Rongfang was overjoyed upon hearing this.

This is exactly what he wants. Although it's a bit short, it's enough to get by at the moment.

One taught and the other took notes, and the scene by the stream gradually became more and more tranquil.

To Xue Tong's great surprise, Zhang Rongfang easily memorized the Toad Seal Art he taught after only hearing it once, and quickly mastered it.

Although it is only a minor technique, it requires extremely high levels of control over Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

But Zhang Rongfang entered the door without any hesitation.

More than ten minutes later, after confirming that Zhang Rongfang had completely grasped the situation, he said in a complicated tone, "Your talent is unparalleled in the world. In addition, you have a physique that is coveted by Gods and Buddhas. You must remember that if you want to Worship God, try to postpone it and choose the strongest one."

"Worship God. Senior, is Worship God the only path in this world?" Zhang Rongfang asked softly.

"." Xue Tong did not answer.

He remained silent for a long time.

Zhang Rongfang repeatedly memorized the Toad Seal Art, but a sense of confusion gradually arose in his heart.

If the Token concealed a hidden threat or danger, then for the first time, Master Yue, who always carried the Token with him, suddenly felt as if nothing in this world was real.

Gods and Buddhas, religions, Ling Ting, my Master Yue, my sister, and myself.

Unbeknownst to him, he had been drawn into these many inexplicable vortexes and was unable to extricate himself.

To Worship God is to become a slave to Gods and Buddhas.

Those No God Worshipping will become persecuted and oppressed.

The world is in chaos now, so what if Master Yue's side is also a fake?

What should he do then? Right there by the stream, Zhang Rongfang stood up and sighed deeply.

He suddenly understood the emotions felt by those leaders of the Rebel Alliance who bravely faced death.

The entire world, from top to bottom, was shrouded in darkness; no light could be seen.

It was so oppressive it made one feel hopeless.

***November 22nd.

The Great Dao Sect, in collaboration with the Snow Rainbow Pavilion Army Lord, besieged the headquarters of the Black Ten Sect. Before the Spirit General appeared, they bombarded the Shinto Altar with heavy artillery.

They successfully surrounded and killed three Saint Envoy, two Altar Masters and Deputy Altar Master, and suffered thousands of casualties.

On the 24th, the Great Dao Sect forced the Heaven Lock Sect to cede the Gu Province diocese, leading to a conflict between the two sides. The Heaven Lock Sect's Supreme Life Chain— Mo Gu Du Ya —fought Jin Yuyan for three moves and suffered a crushing defeat, forcing the sect to cede the province.

26th.

The Great Dao Sect advocated for a revision of the number of Bright Teaching and the establishment of a basic framework centered on the five sects.

The remaining small and medium-sized sects may all be labeled as Secret Teaching.

Many religious sects formed the Great Bright Teaching Alliance to oppose the Great Dao Sect's initiatives.

Wushan Prefecture.

Zhang Rongfang carried a stone lock and swung it rapidly in the temple to loosen his muscles and bones.

The news he's been receiving these past few days has made him feel increasingly anxious.

Master Yue's intentions became increasingly clear, and his ambitions grew immensely. He attempted to construct Five Sects Circle with the Daoist Sect at its head.

They suppressed the True One Sect and the Western Sect. They also gave the Black Ten Sect and the Heaven Lock Sect a warning. Then they forcibly dragged them into dealing with all the other small and medium-sized sects.

Zhang Rongfang wasn't interested in any of that; he just wanted to find a safe place and live a comfortable life.

But now, as Daozi of the Great Dao Sect, he is destined to be increasingly drawn into the vortex of the storm.

Well.

He sighed.

He gently put down the two-ton stone lock he was holding.

He was just an ordinary person who didn't want to get involved in any schemes or conflicts orchestrated by Gods and Buddhas or Buddhas.

"My lord," a subordinate said respectfully, clasping his hands at the entrance of the dojo. "A woman who claims to be Ran Xin Yue has presented Token from the Great Capital Heavenly Sincerity Palace and says she wishes to see you."

It's finally here.

Zhang Rongfang's heart skipped a beat.

"Please have her wait in the lounge for a while. I'll change my clothes and come over."

The Toad Seal Art only lasts for a hundred breaths. He needs to time it perfectly, walk over, and then precisely receive the Token to dispel any suspicion. Then, he must quickly hide the Token away.

"Yes." The subordinate bowed, then turned and left.

Zhang Rongfang took a deep breath and walked towards the door.

"You are Zhang Ying, Dao Child Zhang?" Suddenly, a figure leaped over the left wall of the dojo and landed.

It was a black-haired woman wearing a white veil.

The woman had clear eyes and held a black metal Token in her hand. Without saying a word, she suddenly approached and moved closer to Zhang Rongfang.

"It seems so. We'll know for sure if it's really him after a test!"

She moved so fast that Zhang Rongfang didn't even have time to speak.

Not to mention activating the Toad Seal Art. It would take him at least ten breaths from activation to the point where the disguise would take effect. But now, his opponent hadn't given him even ten breaths!

Upon first meeting her, Zhang Rongfang guessed that the woman was Ran Xin Yue, who had come from Great Capital and was also the Master Yue Envoy had come to verify his identity.

But at this moment.

He never expected that the other party would launch a surprise attack on him.

The Token stirred a slight breeze and quickly came close to his body.

It was clear that as long as he got within a foot, his current Civilian Skill Cultivation could be determined!

"Presumptuous!!!"

Suddenly, Zhang Rongfang let out a furious roar.

"This is Pine Crane Temple, a territory of the Great Dao Sect! Who are you, daring to trespass on this important place!"

In a moment of panic, he retreated rapidly.

There was a meter between the person and the Token, but they just couldn't cross that meter.

Ran Xin Yue let out a soft exclamation. As one of Yue Dewen's Four Right-Hand Aides, she, like Ming Yuan and Ding Rui, was a Grandmaster of the Worship God Grandmaster.

With such cultivation and physical abilities, he was actually evaded by a Daozi possessed a Super Grade External Medicine.

That's rather strange.

She immediately pressed her breath, Breaking Limit Skill: Heavy Mountain, suddenly erupted, causing her to accelerate instantly.

Puff.

The Token instantly traversed the distance and landed on Zhang Rongfang's shoulder.

"You!!" Zhang Rongfang's expression changed.

But I felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he managed to activate the Toad Seal Art.

"Huh? This is... my identity Token!?" His expression of shock and anger quickly turned into surprise and doubt.

Then take the Token and look at the other person.

"How did my Token end up in your hands?" he asked in surprise.

This ability to change his expression was so fast and so natural that even Zhang Rongfang himself was secretly proud of it.

Ran Xin Yue stared at the Token carefully, then looked closely at Zhang Rongfang's face.

The Token is not responding.

His facial expression was also very natural.

It's true, it's not someone impersonating me.

She immediately felt relieved.

"I was rash. I am Ran Xin Yue, Daoist Title Ming Chong. According to seniority, you should call me Martial Uncle."

Seeing the somewhat suspicious look on Zhang Rongfang's face, she continued, "I came here this time because you didn't bring your Token, which worried the Grand Master. Do you know that if you're not carrying this Token, you might encounter some rather troublesome things?"
