Divine Ability: <Law of Heaven and Earth>

In the underground tunnel.

Zhou Hao stood at the spot where Zhu Da and the Earth Dragon had died, remaining silent for a long time.

Perhaps his act of killing Zhu Da by penetrating underground was a way of showing that deep down he didn't want to face Zhu Da directly.

Since Zhou Hao transmigrated to the Wilderness World, he has become accustomed to life and death, and yesterday he even slaughtered tens of thousands of Crimson Armor Dao Soldiers of the Black Hand Tribe. However, Zhu Da is the first person he has ever attacked who is truly familiar with him.

Even though Zhou Hao had previously only regarded him as an ordinary restaurant owner...

After putting away Zhu Da and the Earth Dragon's storage magic treasures, Zhou Hao arrived at the stone chamber where the old man with the wine-stained nose was.

Judging from the mottled bloodstains on his body, he had obviously been tortured. He was barely breathing at this point, and even if Zhu Da didn't kill him, he would probably die soon.

A wisp of warm Origin Power seeped into the old man's body, waking him from his coma.

"I really don't know," the old man murmured. "That statue is just an ordinary bronze Feifei. They say it's a family heirloom left by their Ling Clan family ancestors, but nobody really values it. I... I really don't know why that young man wanted to buy the statue."

Seeing the old man's miserable state, Zhou Hao sighed inwardly.

Ultimately, his falling into Zhu Da's hands was also related to himself.

"Uncle, uncle," Zhou Hao called softly, "Do you know if the Ling Clan has any descendants?"

"Descendants?"

The old man was clearly delirious, muttering, "Master and Madam are both dead. It was Motai Xiao."

"Yes, that's him! I recognize his voice."

"The fire was huge that night. I took advantage of the chaos to grab a few things and hide in the cellar."

"Dead, all dead."

"And the young lady, she's only a little over a year old, what a lovely little girl!"

"They're all dead, all dead..."

Finally, the old man struggled to open his eyes, staring intently at Zhou Hao, his lips twitching as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

The old man with the bulbous nose died.

Zhou Hao shook his head and stopped channeling his Origin Power into him.

However, based on what he said before his death, Zhou Hao has confirmed that the Ling Clan descendants who were on the minds of the Loose Immortal Hongchen were probably all killed by Motai Xiao sixteen years ago.

"Sixteen years ago, Motai Xiao murdered the Ling Clan family. Sixteen years later, I received the fortuitous inheritance of Loose Immortal Hongchen, and I killed Motai Xiao, thus avenging the Ling Clan..."

Is this the clear-cut justice of Heavenly Dao, the cycle of cause and effect?

Leaving the underground cave, Zhou Hao looked at the opening he had left on the ground. With a thought, the Zhuan Mountain Seal flew out, growing to be a hundred feet long and wide, and then pressed down with a loud bang.

Bang!

As the Zhuan Mountain Seal crashed down, the ground there immediately collapsed.

Countless clods of earth buried the cave below, leaving only a large pit hundreds of feet in diameter.

At this moment, Zhou Hao sensed that a stream of light had suddenly entered the range of his divine sense and was flying towards him.

"That's... the city lord?"

Why is he here?

Zhou Hao scanned the incoming streak of light with his divine sense and immediately recognized its identity.

It was none other than the Lord of Jade Dragon City, ' True Person Muxuan '.

True Person Muxuan moved with incredible speed, covering dozens of miles in the blink of an eye.

He was also taken aback when he saw Zhou Hao from afar in the air.

"Zhou Hao?"

What are you doing here?

At this moment, True Person Muxuan had already seen the large pit where the ground had collapsed, as well as the magical Zhuan Mountain Seal resembling a small mountain peak.

He immediately understood that the fluctuations in magical power he had sensed earlier were caused by Zhou Hao.

"Are you fighting someone with magic?" True Person Muxuan confusion.

"No." Zhou Hao shook his head. "I discovered a Fire Worship Sect spy and followed him here."

Then, Zhou Hao briefly recounted his discovery of Zhu Da to True Person Muxuan.

As for the old man with the bulbous nose and the Ling Clan family, he naturally glossed over them.

"This is information from Tong You and Zhu Da's storage magic treasures."

After speaking, Zhou Hao handed a stack of animal hide papers to True Person Muxuan. After thinking for a moment, he took out an ancient token with the character 'Xia' on it and handed it over.

"This is the Vassal Token' from Tong You treasure. City Lord, you can decide what to do with it."

A single Vassal Token represents a city recognized by the Great Xia Dynasty, making it incredibly valuable to ordinary clans and even to ambitious individuals like Motai Xiao who aspire to become the dominant clan.

But it was of no use to Zhou Hao.

He was all alone, and the only tribe he was close to, the Iron Ox Tribe, was too weak. Keeping something that could drive other tribes crazy would only bring disaster.

"Your Vassal Token!"

Upon seeing the token, True Person Muxuan's eyes lit up.

"I just finished deploying troops in the Jade Link Mountain, preparing to annihilate the Great Wild Branch Altar early tomorrow morning. With this Vassal Token, even if the Fire Worship Sect Main Altar sends experts to our aid, we are assured of victory."

After refining the token, True Person Muxuan immediately sensed a connection between his mind and a city tens of thousands of miles away.

This is precisely the unique mystery of the ' Vassal Token,' a rare treasure among human-rank artifacts.

In an instant, True Person Muxuan's gaze towards Zhou Hao became even gentler.

What is Vassal Token?

According to the rules of the Great Xia Dynasty, refining the Vassal Token is equivalent to obtaining a city!

The area surrounding that Great Xia Great Xia city, spanning tens of thousands of miles, belongs to the territory of the city's owner.

Within their own cities, all cultivators are forbidden from fighting each other; violators are considered to be provoking the Great Xia Dynasty, a capital offense!

Many cultivators within immortal sects, if they obtain Vassal Token, can either not use it themselves or pass it on to their clan.

They could even directly choose a tribe to shelter them, let them live in the city, and receive support from that tribe every year.

True Person Muxuan thought to himself that even if he had obtained the Vassal Token, he wouldn't have been able to hand it over as easily as Zhou Hao.

"I already know what happened when Jingzhi returned to the Jade Dragon Sect yesterday," True Person Muxuan said softly. "Although he didn't accept you as his disciple, he has in fact regarded you as his only disciple."

Zhou Hao nodded. "In my heart, you are no different from a teacher."

"My master and Jingzhi's master is the current sect leader of the Jade Dragon Sect, ' Daoist Yuanyuan '."

True Person Muxuan added, "Master knows that Jingzhi has already given you the Upper Sect Trial Token. This time when I returned from the sect, Master gave you a reward, which I also brought back."

Is it possible that Master Jingzhi's master is the current leader of the Jade Dragon Sect?

And there's more to be given to me?

Zhou Hao was stunned.

Generally, the leader of an immortal sect is a Daoist of the Primordial Spirit Daoist, so Zhou Hao wasn't surprised by this.

After all, Earth Immortal Loose Immortal above the Primordial Spirit Daoist are either busy preparing for the Celestial Immortal Tribulation or busy undergoing the Loose Immortal Tribulation, and naturally have no time to deal with tedious sectarian affairs.

It was quite unexpected that Daoist Yuanyuan, whom he had never even met, would send a reward via True Person Muxuan.

"Originally, you were supposed to return to the Jade Dragon Sect first, and the bestowal would be made in person after Master had seen you," True Person Muxuan explained. "However, Jingzhi said that you wouldn't be leaving Jade Dragon City for the next few months, so Master instructed me to bring you directly."

Zhou Hao felt a warmth in his heart.

They also felt a greater sense of goodwill towards the Daoist Yuanyuan, whom they had never met.

The gifts brought by True Person Muxuan were simple: a black jade bottle and a cyan jade slip.

Seeing the solemn expression on True Person Muxuan's face, Zhou Hao immediately realized that these two items were not as simple as they seemed.

really.

The first black jade bottle made Zhou Hao gasp in surprise.

"This jade bottle contains one thousand catties of Origin Liquid."

True Person Muxuan pointed to the black jade bottle and said.

"Once you enter the Upper Sect and learn better Qi cultivation methods, generally as long as you refine 800 jin of Origin Liquid, you will have laid the foundation for becoming a Celestial Immortal and will be able to achieve a top-tier Dharma Aspect in the future."

"Master prepared an extra two hundred catties, which should be enough for you to build the foundation of your Purple Mansion."

Even though True Person Muxuan had reached the Myriad Phenomena Realm, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow at this point.

This is the treatment afforded to prodigy disciples!

The sect was merely showing goodwill, yet their generosity in providing assistance was astonishing.

A thousand catties of Origin Liquid is almost equivalent to his entire fortune.

True Person Muxuan suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and pointed to the blue jade slip, saying, "This jade slip contains the cultivation method for the supernatural power <Law of Heaven and Earth>."

"Of course, only cultivation techniques at the Purple Mansion Realm level."

"When you go to the Upper Sect in the future, you will inevitably encounter dangers along the way. With this supernatural power, you will be able to rely on it to save your life."

"As for the subsequent techniques of the Law of Law of Heaven and Earth, you will naturally learn them when you go to the Upper Sect."

"The supernatural power and technique of <The Law of Heaven and Earth>?" Zhou Hao held his breath.

"This is far too valuable!"

Two gifts were given.

A bottle of Origin Liquid is to lay the foundation for my future Qi Refining Purple Mansion cultivation, while a jade slip records supernatural abilities to prepare me for battles and combat in the God-Devil Body Refining Refinement stage.

Even after gaining considerable wealth from Tong You treasure, Zhou Hao's standards were already extremely high.

It must be said that these two gifts from Daoist Yuanyuan that True Person Muxuan brought are extremely important for his future path to immortality.

"Take it."

True Person Muxuan smiled and said, "It's not just you. There are three other people from the Jade Dragon Sect who are going to the Upper Sect to participate in the trial this time, and each of them will receive these rewards."

"Master gave you these things out of kindness, so please accept them."

Zhou Hao hesitated for a moment.

However, upon further reflection, since Master Jingzhi was like a mentor to him, and the Iron Ox Tribe was also under the protection of Jade Dragon City, the relationship between the Jade Dragon Sect and himself could not be erased.

If something happens to the Jade Dragon Sect in the future, can I just stand by and do nothing?

Since that's the case, then let's accept it.

"Okay." Zhou Hao nodded.

"You can keep the Origin Liquid. As for this jade slip, you need to view the memories in front of me and then destroy it immediately," said True Person Muxuan.

That's to be expected.

After all, any immortal sect attaches great importance to supernatural powers and secret techniques, and would never allow them to be spread, even the most widely circulated supernatural power in all realms, <Law of Heaven and Earth>.

After Zhou Hao made a vow to Heavenly Dao and memorized the cultivation technique, he returned to Jade Dragon City with True Person Muxuan.

It was already broad daylight.

When Zhou Hao returned to the courtyard, he saw Xiangcao already sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, waiting for him to return as usual.

Think about how you spent your night.

The storage magic treasure contained over 1,100 Origin Liquid, thousands of magic treasures, a secret acupuncture technique, and a long-awaited supernatural power...

Zhou Hao felt as if everything was in a dream.

If Xiangcao could recover, that would truly be perfect.

That's all for today. I'll continue after get off work tonight.

If there's no update after midnight, then it'll be tomorrow morning.
