Yu Shen, a genius youth, was virtually unknown in the Initial Land, a place teeming with prodigies.
However, the moment his name was revealed, everyone became wary and dared not underestimate him anymore.
Being in the same group as Gu Cang and others, and also bearing the surname Yu, they are undoubtedly Direct Line of the Years Monarch.
"Take it if you want it."
Xie Wen said with a smile.
Ren Ran glanced at her companion. Knowing him as she did, she knew he wouldn't easily give up the Potential Secret Medicine. It was simply because the Chaos Dao Monarch was by her side, and she couldn't compete with him.
Therefore, he went along with it and wanted to see the two Chaos Dao Monarch fight.
Yu Xian Xu Qing, and the others had strange expressions.
How dare you speak so arrogantly, with Jiang Ping above you?
"This is Yu Changqing's cousin, a promising young genius. Although Jiang Ping came in person, he still had to give him some face, which is why he didn't stop Gu Cang from gathering herbs."
Many people whispered among themselves, thinking that even if Yu Shen couldn't swallow all three kinds of endowment medicines, he should be able to take one or two of them.
"I actually hope they fight, and it would be best Yu Changqing also showed up, so that they both suffer heavy losses."
Some people gloated, enjoying the spectacle.
At this moment, some people noticed that Jiang Ping's companion beside him was frowning, looking somewhat displeased.
Daozhen Fairy, wielding a sharp sword, distorted the Void with the Temporal Law, and coldly shouted:
"Where do you get the courage to swallow it all at once?"
"A junior who has just entered the Peerless of True Saint, I haven't seen you in the aptitude group before. You probably got in through connections."
Tang Sheng made no attempt to hide his mockery, his face radiating sarcasm.
Does having a Chaos Dao Monarch as an older brother give him the right to do whatever he wants?
Don't they even look at who's standing next to them?
Even if Yu Changqing showed up, it wouldn't matter since they're in the same field; it's still uncertain who's stronger.
"Truly, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."
Xiao Ran was sparing with his words, yet he also displayed a hint of disdain.
Hearing these taunts and mockery, Yu Shen's veins bulged on his face, and his eyes almost spit fire.
He was exceptionally talented and a descendant of the Yu Family; he had never been humiliated like this before.
How dare I?
Beside him, a powerful Way of Birth and Destruction stepped forward and said in a deep voice:
"Aren't you all just gossiping and spreading rumors? Aren't you afraid of ending your Dao Path and facing a bleak future?"
Five Elements Dao Monarch Gu Cang couldn't help but say:
"Please, gentlemen, have some self-respect; you shouldn't insult people like this."
"We've been very polite. This person dares to say such things to the face of the Chaos Dao Monarch. Who does he think he is, wanting to take away all the secret medicines with just a word?"
Li Li snorted coldly.
Jiang Ping hadn't even spoken, so how dare a True Saint, the weakest of them all, spout such nonsense?
Lord of Way of Birth and Destruction frowned and said, "Miss Li, be careful with your words. Yu Shen's talent is no less than yours."
"You're just borrowing the tiger's power; aside from Fellow Daoist Jiang, your cultivation levels aren't much better."
A Monarch nearing the mid-level said with a composed face.
Although Yu Changqing did not show up, they were still part of that person's team, and in terms of strength, they far surpassed Li Li and Tang Sheng.
If Jiang Ping hadn't intervened, they would have suppressed him long ago.
"It's alright, once we take the Innate Grand Medicine, we will naturally surpass you."
Yun Shuang spoke with a smile.
She follows Jiang Ping, her future is bright, and she has no fear of Potential Secret Medicine.
"Hmph, you can be arrogant this time because Monarch is not here, but what about next time? Do you really think you can pocket all the secret medicines of the Initial Land?"
"We'll talk about it next time. Anyway, you and the others won't get a single penny this time; it'll all be ours."
Yu Shen wanted to swallow the Dao Treasure, which concerned increasing potential and endowment, in one gulp. Tang Shengli and the others had no choice but to do the same; such a precious medicine was naturally always welcome.
For a time, the two sides faced off, neither afraid of the other.
Jiang Ping is powerful, having made two moves just now, but behind him stands Yu Changqing and the Years Female Monarch, whose overall strength is far superior. Once the battle begins, the outcome will be very clear.
Gu Cang glanced at Jiang Ping. In the end, since their side lacked a top expert to oversee things, the ownership of this secret medicine depended entirely on Jiang Ping's attitude.
Yu Shen understood this as well. He took a deep breath and said:
"Jiang Ping, could you do me a favor this time? I desperately need these Dao Elixir. If there are any rare or secret medicines in the future, we will consider offering them as well."
He didn't say those things without thinking.
Firstly, the other party had just been tolerant of Gu Cang, which must have been out of consideration for his cousin.
Secondly, his elder brother is also breaking through to the next level, and he is likely to succeed. At that time, the balance of power between the two Chaos Dao Monarch will clearly tilt.
This matter has actually been circulating recently, and Yu Shen believes that Jiang Ping must have considered this aspect.
Otherwise, once relations are broken, even Chaos Dao Monarch might one day end up humiliated.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ping chuckled, leading Yu Shen to mistakenly believe that the matter was settled and he was about to bow and express his gratitude.
But then, the Dao Monarch's expression suddenly hardened, and he coldly gave the order:
"They've all been picked."
Alright!
Li Li acted instantly.
She didn't care whose general was on the other side; as long as there was hardship, Jiang Ping would surely stand up for her.
Upon Yu Shen's face froze, seemingly somewhat surprised that Jiang Ping had actually humiliated him.
The next moment, his anger surged, and he arrived at the Medicine Garden faster than anyone else.
Yu Shen stood above the secret medicine, his voice ferocious:
"My brother is Yu Changqing, who wants to try gathering herbs?"
After saying that, he took the initiative and grabbed a Three-Colored Flower in his palm.
Li Li's face turned ugly; she had never seen anyone so stubborn.
She also made a move, hoping to acquire the other two drugs.
Upon seeing this, Yu Shen immediately charged forward, wielding the Monarch's Sword: "You're courting death!!"
With a bang.
A ray of mysterious light struck out like lightning, instantly shattering the Dao weapon.
At the same time, Jiang Ping coldly raised his hand, his five majestic fingers standing upright, and reached out.
The Way of Birth and Destruction was the first to react, his expression changing drastically. "Fellow Daoist, please hold back!"
But it was too late. Yu Shen felt as if his soul had been frozen, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
He was merely a minor True Saint; how could he possibly contend with Chaos Dao Monarch?
As the Chaos Aura spread, Yu Shen felt as if his head was about to explode.
"Ah!!"
He roared in pain, still trying to struggle a little.
With a grasp of his five fingers, Yu Shen was like a fish on a chopping board, his throat instantly seized.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, just give me some noodles, and I'll have you offer up the Three-Colored Flower."
The Way of Birth and Destruction spoke again.
Yu Xi doted on this cousin, and nothing could happen to him.
However, Jiang Ping ignored him and focused his gaze on Yu Shen:
"You dare disobey my words?"
Blood was seeping from Yu Shen's seven orifices, and the sound of bones cracking came from his throat.
He was completely speechless, his eyes were rolling back, and he was spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
The onlookers didn't dare to breathe. Xie Wen, who had been hoping for a fight between the two sides, got his wish, but he was also holding his breath.
There's no other reason than that this person is just too domineering and doesn't take anyone seriously.
Even Yu Changqing's cousin could be manipulated at will.
Fellow Daoist!!
A grand voice suddenly resounded in all directions, clearly reaching everyone's ears. Even across the ends of the earth, the sound still tore through the distance.
Everyone looked up and saw a figure, like a god, gradually reviving in the distance, its aura earth-shattering, with countless stars swirling around it, more dazzling than the sun.
The first Chaos Monarch in history.
Yu Changqing!!
Clearly, the moment Yu Shen decided to challenge Jiang Ping, someone immediately sent a message to notify the "parents."
"You are indeed Chaos Dao Monarch, but how will you deal with the appearance of Yu Changqing, the number one Chaos Dao Monarch?"
Wang Sheng sneered, a gloating expression on his face.
In people's eyes, Jiang Ping is amazing enough, but in terms of strength, he is definitely not as good as Yu Changqing was the first to achieve enlightenment.
"The Monarch Yu has already shown himself. Your Excellency should release Yu Shen; it will be beneficial for both sides."
A Female Monarch at the Third Level of Dao Monarch spoke coldly.
Yu Changqing and Yu Xi are on their way, so she no longer needs to worry about Jiang Ping's expression.
Jiang Ping turned around, and the Female Monarch instantly exploded, blood splattering into the Void.
"This..."
The Yu Family faction, which had gradually calmed down, suddenly became restless again.
You're really daring!
"Ah!"
Another scream rang out.
Before everyone could recover from the sight of the Female Monarch exploding, Yu Shen cracked open again.
Even though Yu Changqing was resurrected, this Direct Line of the Yu Family could not escape disaster.
Jiang Ping demonstrated his domineering power through his actions, as if he were the only one who reigned supreme in the world.
With each bang, Yu Shen's body and spirit shattered again and again.
It was even more horrific than what happened to Wang Sheng earlier; it shattered into pieces and couldn't be put back together in a short time.
The crowd felt a chill run down their spines, realizing that if it weren't for the Rules the Initial Land, this person would truly dare to kill Yu Shen.
Buzz!
A Three-Colored Flower floated in mid-air and was caught by Jiang Ping himself.
Throughout the entire ordeal, he never once looked back at the figure in the distance, as if he didn't care about anything at all, and continued to do as he pleased.
Powerful!
That's fucking domineering!
This was almost a consensus among everyone present.
Even if Yu Changqing speaks up personally, whether or not Jiang Ping gives him face depends on his mood.
It is obvious that Yu Shen offended this person and acted against his will, ultimately suffering a tragic fate.
You're great!
Yu Xi stood in the distant sky, seeing her cousin's miserable state, and felt somewhat angry.
Even if we don't respect the monk, we should respect the Buddha. After all, the two sides have a history, so we should save some face for each other.
Yu Changqing stopped and calmly looked at Jiang Ping.
The latter, sensing something, finally turned around and looked at the first Chaos Dao Monarch.
Their eyes met.
Yu Changqing was dressed in white, with long hair flowing in the wind. Her appearance was elegant and otherworldly, and her eyes were clear. Even without expression, she still had a kind of approachable charm, and many women couldn't take their eyes off her.
Jiang Ping was spotless, and his blood-dripping hand displayed his domineering aura, like a great demon king, making everyone feel fear and dare not look him in the eye.
"The first direct confrontation between the two Chaos Dao Monarch!!"
Some people were excited, finally seeing what they wanted to see.
Xie Wen was dissatisfied because Yu Changqing had stopped halfway and hadn't come over; the two were now a great distance apart.
Soon, this discontent spread to everyone.
Because Yu Changqing disappeared, the situation did not escalate further.
After Gu Cang finished collecting Yu Shen's Incompleteness body, the group hurriedly departed.
"They didn't fight, so why did Yu Changqing retreat?"
Yu Xian felt regretful, as he longed to witness this Peak battle and believed that even those lofty Ancestral Artifacts would cast their gaze upon it.
"Yu Changqing has come in his Dharma Body."
The Ye Xiao seemed to have realized something, and thought to himself.
The first Resource competition for newcomers is coming to an end.
However, the final outcome became a hot topic in the Initial Land, quickly shaking the Xuanhuang Four Seas and Eight Desolates. Even after many days, it remained a topic of conversation.
"When the two Chaos Monarch first met, Yu Changqing uttered two words, and then neither spoke again."
"Yes, they are all Supreme Experts. Their every word and action can influence the Initial Land situation. We must definitely exercise restraint and not easily start a war."
"I have a feeling that Yu Changqing still backed down. Jiang Ping seriously injured his brother, yet he was able to tolerate it."
At this point in the discussion, some people expressed their doubts:
"Yes, since Jiang Ping doesn't give Yu Changqing any face at all, why did he choose to back down when Gu Cang picked the Five Elements Dao Elixir? Logically speaking, that herb should have been of considerable benefit to Jiang Ping."
"I also find this strange. He didn't even blink when he was pinching Yu Shen, so why did he fall silent when it came to that little Five Elements Dao Monarch?"
"I just remembered something. Jiang Ping comes from North Nether Island, and it was Gu Cang who unsealed North Nether. This is the only connection between the two of them."
"So, Jiang Ping didn't take away Gu Cang's opportunity because he was grateful for Gu Cang's help in lifting the seal on North Nether?"
"Yes, that makes sense. Everything makes sense now. Because of the lifting of the seal on North Nether, which was a favor to North Nether, Jiang Ping remembered this kindness. Therefore, he gave face to Gu Cang himself, not Yu Changqing."
"Damn it..."
Several Dao Monarch couldn't help but crush their teacups, filled with regret.
They could have lifted the lockdown back then, but it was Gu Cang who ultimately made the move.
Otherwise, they could have gained a lot from this Resource competition.
Upon hearing this, Gu Cang, the Five Elements Dao Monarch, couldn't help but touch his nose. He hadn't expected that Gu Cang could still have such influence, making that powerful person back down.
As this incident unfolded, another side of Jiang Ping was revealed: he was clear about right and wrong, loyal and righteous, and not a tyrannical Monarch.
He gave Gu Cang face out of consideration for the favor of lifting the seal on North Nether.
He didn't give Yu Changqing face because Yu Shen was too arrogant and domineering, breaking his rules.
Many people have analyzed the situation and concluded that Jiang Ping remained assertive to the end, while Yu Changqing swallowed his anger.
That's just the Dharma Body; the true body is still in seclusion.
News has spread from the Yu Mountain area, which can be seen as an explanation for the final outcome.
"I see, the news is true, this person really is accelerating their progress."
Everyone was relieved and deeply moved.
Yu Changqing, who had only been a Daoist for a few years, was actually preparing to break through the barrier again.
"It seems Jiang Ping put a lot of pressure on Yu Changqing, forcing him to go into seclusion."
"Hmph, he's not that important. Many Fate Child are striving to reach the High-Rank Dao Monarch; how could Monarch lag behind? He should naturally use absolute strength to control everything."
The Way of Birth and Destruction from the Yu Sect spoke.
The most important thing in the Initial Land is resources. Yu Changqing is rushing through the pass to seize the opportunity. Fate is in the balance, and we cannot give it up to others.
"So, Yu Changqing wasn't showing restraint last time, but rather because his true body couldn't come and he wasn't very confident. Once he emerged from seclusion, Jiang Ping might face retribution."
Xie Wen chuckled, perhaps soon he could satisfy the regret that the two of them hadn't fought each other last time.
He'll vomit up five or ten times what he ate!
Yu Shen, his eyes filled with resentment.
Hearing this, many people became even more certain that the conflict between the two Chaos Monarch would not end there, and that a decisive battle would inevitably take place at the Forbidden City.
"Two layers pressing down on one, how can this be described as a Peak battle? The scales have already tipped; let's see how he can withstand it then."
A Female Monarch, obsessed with Yu Changqing, revealed a cold smile.
