The Might of the Four Symbols—Guang Chengzi Had a Keen Eye; One Must Admit When Outmatched; the Profound Yellow Water Raiding Squad!

Empowered by the Four Directions Star Power, the Four Symbols Pearls shone into the heavens, their boundless pressure sweeping in every direction.

The disciples watching from both sides all changed expression.

They vaguely sensed that this treasure was at least a High-Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure, perhaps even a Top-Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure!

Could Grand Yi Perfected Person withstand it?

Rumble!

The first Four Symbols Pearl struck the Dragon Escape Stakes. The stakes' radiance immediately dimmed, and the four golden dragons withdrew back into them.

Then, the second Four Symbols Pearl struck the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.

The pillar of light from the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover vanished instantly, and the nine heavenly fire dragons dispersed along with it.

Reverting to their original forms, they fell from the void.

Seeing two Four Symbols Pearls hurtling toward him, Grand Yi Perfected Person was greatly alarmed. He hurriedly activated the Sweeping Dusk Garment, and endless rosy light flickered around him.

At the same time, he pushed his mana to its peak. Taiyi Gang Qi protected his entire body, while the Male and Female Twin Swords in his hands slashed out, seeking to block the attack of the two Four Symbols Pearls.

Rumble!

The two sword rays Grand Yi Perfected Person unleashed struck one of the Sea Pacifying Pearls.

An immense force of recoil surged forth, and the Male and Female Twin Swords flew from his hands.

This was hardly surprising. After all, the Male and Female Twin Swords were Guang Chengzi's magic treasures. Grand Yi Perfected Person had only refined them superficially and could not possibly unleash their full power.

Even so, the radiance of that Four Symbols Pearl dimmed considerably.

The other one arrived above Grand Yi Perfected Person's head, hovering directly overhead.

Grand Yi Perfected Person's expression froze, and a subtle feeling flashed through his heart.

The Four Symbols Pearl was simply too powerful. If it came crashing down, even with the Sweeping Dusk Garment on, he might not be able to withstand it. He might even suffer severe injuries.

"You lost!"

Zhao Gongming spoke, then waved his hand. The Four Symbols Pearls flew back into his grasp.

Seeing Zhao Gongming emerge victorious, the Three Xiaos were immediately overjoyed.

The Four Symbols Pearls had been refined with the method their elder brother had taught him, and after refining the heavens within them, they had gained such astonishing power, breaking through several of Grand Yi Perfected Person's magic treasures in succession!

When the Chan Sect members saw Grand Yi Perfected Person's magic treasures broken, they knew he had already lost and could not help feeling dazed.

Grand Yi Perfected Person had borrowed so many magic treasures in order to defeat Zhao Gongming, yet he had instead been defeated by Zhao Gongming.

What kind of treasure were Zhao Gongming's pearls?

How could they possess such power?!

Guang Chengzi stroked his chin. From Zhao Gongming's Four Symbols Pearls, he sensed the aura of Profound Yellow Heavy Water.

Back then, when the Profound Yellow Treasure Pearl had released its pressure, Guang Chengzi had been unable to approach it at all. This was enough to show its immense power.

"It must have been Senior Brother Lin Zhu who used Profound Yellow Water to refine Zhao Gongming's magic treasure!"

For a moment, Guang Chengzi's thoughts became active.

When Grand Yi Perfected Person saw Zhao Gongming withdraw his magic treasures, he broke out in a cold sweat and stood rooted to the spot.

He had been defeated by Zhao Gongming before everyone's eyes, and that was after borrowing so many magic treasures.

Grand Yi Perfected Person, who had always thought highly of himself, could hardly bear the humiliation.

He wanted to attack again, but Guang Chengzi shouted to stop him. "Taiyi, a wager must be honored. Junior Brother Zhao Gongming showed you mercy this time. If you insist on attacking again, would that not be an utter lack of appreciation?"

Grand Yi Perfected Person halted, said nothing, then turned and flew away. In an instant, he disappeared from sight.

Seeing Grand Yi Perfected Person leave, Guang Chengzi shook his head and led the Chan Sect disciples back to their Cave Mansions.

After Zhao Gongming defeated Grand Yi Perfected Person, the Jie Sect Disciples all stepped forward to congratulate him.

"I never expected the treasure Master bestowed upon Junior Brother Gongming to be so formidable. It defeated Taiyi so easily," Duobao Daoren sighed.

Zhao Gongming said, "If not for Eldest Senior Brother's guidance in refining the Four Symbols Pearls once more and greatly raising their grade, whether I could have defeated Grand Yi Perfected Person would still be uncertain."

Eldest Senior Brother!

All the Jie Sect Disciples were astonished.

Eldest Senior Brother's guidance had allowed Zhao Gongming's strength to advance so greatly.

He could even raise the grade of magic treasures.

Eldest Senior Brother truly was Eldest Senior Brother.

The Jie Sect Disciples quietly began making plans of their own.

It seemed they should seek out Eldest Senior Brother and ask him to privately impart cultivation methods.

After the Jie Sect Disciples dispersed, Lin Zhu also withdrew his divine sense.

Lin Zhu was not at all surprised that Zhao Gongming had defeated Grand Yi Perfected Person in this battle.

The Four Symbols Pearls, after evolving the heavens within them, possessed the immense power of the stars in the four directions.

Although Grand Yi Perfected Person had borrowed many treasures, he had too many without mastering any of them. Nor could he fully refine them, so naturally he could not unleash their complete power.

His defeat at Gongming's hands was not undeserved in the slightest.

In Lin Zhu's view, Grand Yi Perfected Person would be better off focusing on one or two magic treasures. Once he fully refined them, he might be able to hold out a little longer against Zhao Gongming.

There was nothing happening in the sect for the time being, so Lin Zhu remained in his Cave Mansion, absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to stabilize his cultivation.

At this moment, two figures appeared outside Lin Zhu's Cave Mansion. They were Xuan Du and Guang Chengzi.

"Is Senior Brother here?" Guang Chengzi called.

Seeing Xuan Du and Guang Chengzi arrive together, Lin Zhu promptly said, "Junior Brothers, come in."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du and Guang Chengzi entered Lin Zhu's Cave Mansion.

After the two sat down, Guang Chengzi immediately explained his purpose. "Senior Brother, your Profound Yellow Water has endless wondrous uses. If I am not mistaken, Zhao Gongming's Four Symbols Pearls must have been refined with Profound Yellow Water, correct?"

"You possess such a treasure, so why have you not shared it with Xuan Du and me?"

Lin Zhu could not help laughing. "The Profound Yellow Water does have wondrous uses, but it was only because the Four Symbols Pearls themselves contain the power of the heavens that I taught him the method of using Profound Yellow Water to refine them."

"Other magic treasures cannot be refined with Profound Yellow Water."

How could Guang Chengzi believe him? "Senior Brother, how have Xuan Du and I treated you? Why are you being so stingy? Fine, then. If I obtain any treasures in the future, do not expect to get any."

Xuan Du also said, "Whenever Senior Brother wanted pills, when have I ever hesitated in the slightest?"

Lin Zhu smiled. "It is not that I am unwilling to part with the Profound Yellow Water. It is simply that it would not be of much use to either of you... Very well, since you want it, I shall give each of you twenty jin of Profound Yellow Water. How about that?"

Only then were Xuan Du and Guang Chengzi overjoyed.

Lin Zhu gave each of them some Profound Yellow Water, and only then did the two leave in satisfaction.

Watching them depart, Lin Zhu rubbed his chin and revealed a wry smile.

What he had said was the truth, yet the two simply would not listen.

Tongtian Sect Leader, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Taishang Laojun were still in seclusion.

After Zhao Gongming's matter, the disciples came one after another to seek Lin Zhu's guidance.

Lin Zhu patiently instructed each and every one of the Jie Sect Disciples.

After listening to Lin Zhu's Dao Lectures, these Jie Sect Disciples all gained greatly and entered seclusion one after another.

Duobao and the others became even more convinced of Lin Zhu's abilities and treated him with deep respect.

Lin Zhu's prestige within the Jie Sect continued to rise.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, thirty thousand years had gone by.

Under Lin Zhu's guidance, the cultivation of these Jie Sect Disciples had all improved considerably.

On this day!

Lin Zhu was cultivating quietly within his Cave Mansion.

Suddenly, he heard a voice transmission from his master, Tongtian Sect Leader. "Lin Zhu, come see me at once."

Master had emerged from seclusion!

Lin Zhu did not dare delay. He immediately headed toward Tongtian Cult Master Daoist Temple.

Upon entering the Daoist Temple, he indeed saw Tongtian Sect Leader seated cross-legged atop the Green Lotus.

"Disciple Lin Zhu greets Master." Lin Zhu stepped forward and bowed.
