After all, everything Lu Feng was doing now was for the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.
He just did not know whether the Jie Sect Disciples could escape this ordeal.
Fortunately, he still had his system.
The novels he wrote became legacies, and once they fell into the hands of the Jie Sect Disciples, they could briefly obscure the Heavenly Secrets.
Even a Saint would struggle to detect the connection.
Even if it lasted only a fleeting instant, that was more than enough for Lu Feng.
Just then, the system's notification sounded.
[Congratulations, host. Comprehension of the new novel has reached seventy-five percent. Rewards: 100,000 years of cultivation and a fragment of the Law of Yin.]
Lu Feng froze for a moment.
This system announcement was rather different from the previous ones.
Previously, the system's announcements had all concerned Jie Sect Disciples.
Today, however, it had not mentioned a single word about Jie Sect Disciples.
Could it be that this novel hadn't been obtained by one of our Jie Sect Disciples?
At that thought, Lu Feng immediately prodded his system.
"What's this novel called?"
[Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child!]
Lu Feng paused, and then an unlikely guess surfaced in his mind.
He had written Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child on a whim.
At the time, he had not known where the system had sent the novel.
But now, hearing the system's answer and considering the corresponding integration percentage, he had an idea.
Lu Feng felt that this novel might very well have landed in Chan Sect territory.
It might even have fallen into that little troublemaker's hands!
That was right-the little troublemaker was Nezha!
After all, wasn't Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child practically tailor-made for Nezha?
If Nezha comprehended and absorbed it, wouldn't reaching one hundred percent integration be easy?
While Lu Feng's thoughts wandered, the system's voice sounded again.
[The one who comprehended it this time is not a Jie Sect Disciple, but will still count toward the ten candidates.]
Lu Feng was utterly stunned.
People from the Chan Sect counted too?
Before Lu Feng could figure it out, the 100,000 years of cultivation had already arrived, leaving him no choice but to enter a state of cultivation once more.
Meanwhile, on Kunlun Mountain.
The Golden Hoop Immortal kept dismantling the formations before him.
Whenever he encountered one he could not dismantle, he simply avoided it. After all, his comprehension of Formation Law had yet to reach perfection, so breaking through every formation laid by a Saint was virtually impossible.
Even so, Nezha was genuinely astonished as he watched the formations before the Golden Hoop Immortal dwindle.
Originally, he had only made an offhand remark. Who could have imagined that this disciple of the Interception Sect would be so bullheaded!
Not only was he bullheaded, he was actually on the verge of succeeding!
The thought had barely crossed Nezha's mind when, in the next instant, all the formations outside the Jade Void Palace collapsed and vanished.
Now Nezha was dumbfounded.
"You did it?"
The Golden Hoop Immortal nodded.
He looked at the Jade Void Palace before him.
To be honest, he had never expected that he would actually succeed.
Moreover, the Jade Void Palace before him truly surprised him.
No wonder Nezha had said that the Jade Void Palace was the greatest treasure on Kunlun Mountain.
Now that he had seen it, the Golden Hoop Immortal realized Nezha had spoken the truth.
After all, without the formations concealing it, the Jade Void Palace finally revealed the materials within.
Those materials were none other than dragon crystal!
Ever since the Dragon-Han Calamity, the Ancestral Dragon's clan had withdrawn into the depths of the sea.
Dragon crystal came from the Ancestral Dragon's clan.
The amount still in existence was exceedingly small.
Yet dragon crystal was precious not because of its rarity, but because of its formidable energy and indestructibility.
And now, the main beams of an entire Jade Void Palace were actually made entirely of dragon crystal!
That was simply too extravagant!
Now that he had encountered such an incredible treasure...
With the mindset that a thief never left empty-handed, how could the Golden Hoop Immortal possibly let it slip away?
He immediately raised his hand and swiftly began stuffing the entire Jade Void Palace into his pouch.
As the Jade Void Palace before him grew smaller and smaller, disbelief lingered in Nezha's eyes.
Was this man really taking the Jade Void Palace?
In truth, there really was nothing the Golden Hoop Immortal dared not do.
It was only an entire Jade Void Palace!
If he took it, he took it!
Such fine materials naturally had to be brought back and saved for their teacher to build a cultivation sanctuary in the future!
Nezha was genuinely impressed now.
These disciples of the Interception Sect truly had guts.
Not only had they come running into Chan Sect territory and emptied its treasury, they now even dared to steal the Jade Void Palace!
Fortunately, the Vice Leader and the others were away.
Had they been here, they probably would have coughed up blood from sheer rage on the spot.
But no matter how little noise the Golden Hoop Immortal made...
The disappearance of such an enormous Jade Void Palace would still draw the attention of quite a few Chan Sect Disciples.
Yet when they arrived, all they saw was the Jade Void Palace steadily shrinking, with half of it already inside the Golden Hoop Immortal's pouch.
Sensing a surge of chilling hostility behind him, the Golden Hoop Immortal could not help looking back, then gestured to Nezha with his chin.
"Your fellow disciples are here!"
Nezha's expression shifted as well.
"Couldn't you have kept it down?"
The Golden Hoop Immortal merely spread his hands helplessly.
He wanted to make less noise too, but there was simply nothing he could do.
After all, digging out such a massive palace took considerable effort.
At that moment, seeing Nezha and the Golden Hoop Immortal standing together, partners in villainy stealing the Jade Void Palace, the Chan Sect Disciples immediately burst into furious curses.
"Nezha, you actually dared to collude with an outsider and lay hands on the Jade Void Palace!"
Nezha silently looked toward the Golden Hoop Immortal.
The Golden Hoop Immortal looked back at him.
"Don't look at me! I'm busy here!"
"Besides, those are your fellow disciples. Aren't you going to go strengthen your bonds with them?"
Nezha snorted coldly.
"What bonds are there left to strengthen?"
The Chan Sect was nothing but a pack of sanctimonious hypocrites.
If not for the Golden Hoop Immortal, its treasury would already have been burned to the ground today!
The Golden Hoop Immortal smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"Of course there are bonds to strengthen."
"For example, blows mean affection, and curses mean love."
"Shouldn't you go shower them with some affection and love?"
A chill ran through Nezha, bringing goosebumps out all over him.
"Could you stop making it sound so disgusting!"
Just then, a Chan Sect Disciple roared again.
"You beast from the Interception Sect! You actually dared to bewitch Junior Brother Nezha! Today, I'll crush you!"
The Golden Hoop Immortal's face was a picture of bewilderment.
He glanced at Nezha, then at himself.
When had anyone ever called me a beast?
As far as he was concerned, a Chan Sect Disciple like this ought to be killed. What affection or love did he deserve?
Besides, how was I the one who bewitched Nezha?
Couldn't he see that Nezha was the one who talked me into stealing the Jade Void Palace?
No, that wasn't right.
How could anything a Jie Sect Disciple did be called stealing?
This was digging it up openly and aboveboard!
"Can you kill him?"
"If you can't kill him, I'll look down on you!"
