The night was not peaceful.
Xiao Tian hardly sleeps anymore. As he progresses further in mastering one of the Eight Impure Techniques, the Six Treasury Immortal Thief, his energy and spirit remain consistently abundant.
On the rooftop of the World Group building, the night breeze blew, and Xiao Tian's figure seemed to blend into the darkness.
At this moment, Xiao Tian displayed his Tenseigan ability, observing the surrounding buildings and streets of the World Group from a god-like perspective.
"Come out."
Xiao Tian turned his head and looked at the gate leading to the rooftop.
The door opened, and Feng Baobao, Zhang Chulan, and Guihua came out.
" Brother Tian, why aren't you resting at this hour? Why are you standing here in the hot air? It's still around 36 degrees Celsius at this hour, it's so hot."
Xiao Tian made a Sprite, a Martial Soul drink, for the three of them.
"Let's wait and see what happens. If there's no movement in the next few days, then we won't waste any more time and we're out of here."
After drinking ice- Sprite, Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, Guihua felt the scorching heat of Natsuhi disappear, and their whole bodies felt refreshed, as if they were in the most suitable cool environment. Their spirits were better, and even their Qi had increased.
"This Sprite is amazing! Brother Tian, you have such good stuff, why didn't you bring it out for us sooner? After drinking this, I'm afraid I'll never be able to drink regular Sprite again."
Feng Baobao nodded in agreement.
Having received money from World Group, Zhang Chulan naturally worked very hard. The four of them took their respective positions and monitored the situation on the road outside the building. Their eyes were like those of hawks, not missing any small details.
Around 4 a. m.
Feng Baobao's ears twitched, and the string she was holding snapped, alerting Xiao Tian, Zhang Chulan, and Guihua, who were also holding the string, that something was happening.
Xiao Tian, observing from God's perspective, also discovered this at the same time.
And with his Rinnegan and Tenseigan, which could see the darkness as nothing, he clearly spotted a man dressed in black silently breaking through the window of the first floor of the building.
" Old Zhang, get ready to ambush him on the second floor. He's a kid with the ability to walk through walls."
Upon receiving Xiao Tian's telepathic message, Zhang Chulan nodded and quickly left the rooftop.
Then, the building alarm went off, and the Evolver from World Group began to take action.
In a corridor on the second floor, Zhang Chulan used his Thunder Method to knock out the mysterious person who had invaded the building.
"Tang sword."
Zhang Chulan picked up the Tang sword still crackling with electricity and tore off the black mask of the unconscious man.
"Brother Zhang, has the enemy been subdued?" The Evolver of the World Society rushed over.
"Tie him up and interrogate him."
The commotion startled Feng Xingtong and Feng Shayan awake from their light sleep.
Zhang Chulan participated in the interrogation, while Xiao Tian and Feng Baobao continued to monitor the situation around the building from the rooftop.
At five in the morning, Zhang Chulan, his expression slightly grave, brought the details of the interrogation.
"They confessed; they came from a force called the Penglai Night Division."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian raised an eyebrow. He did have some recollection of this force; in the original timeline, it seemed that when Wang Ye first arrived at Wudang, people from Penglai had appeared.
" Brother Tian, this person is from the outer sect of Penglai Night Division. He is proficient in ancient swordsmanship and knows a little Ninjutsu. His ability to pass through walls is innate. Unfortunately, he's a noob. My Big White Worm knocked him out with a single electric shock."
"Did you find out what you're doing at World Group?" Xiao Tian asked.
"Our goal is to get close to Feng Shayan and Feng Xingtong, hoping to obtain more secrets about the Spirit Binding and General Dispatch. We don't know anything else; perhaps there's something else hidden, but that's all we can know for now."
Xiao Tian turned around and strode towards the rooftop entrance.
"The situation with Di Shitian has prompted various forces in the Evolver World to start making moves. There shouldn't be any danger here with the World Society. Tonight is over. We'll stay for a few more days, and if nothing unexpected happens, we'll leave."
Zhang Chulan nodded.
The following night, Xiao Tian took some time to go outside the building alone, quietly entered the Kamui Dimension, and then used his innate ability: Teleport, to select a location on the entire world map.
Destination: Tang Sect
With a flash of white light, Xiao Tian, who had prepared himself to transform into the appearance of the famous detective Kogoro Mouri using the Ruyi Divine Ability: Seventy-Two Transformations, returned to the Tang Sect.
What a coincidence!
A fragrant aroma filled the air; it was a woman's scent.
Xiao Tian's lips twitched, and he inwardly cursed.
"Ah!"
"Senior! What are you doing here!"
This is the bedroom. On the bed, Tao Tao of the Tang Sect, dressed in revealing underwear, is browsing Taobao on her phone and humming a song in a good mood. Suddenly, she sees Xiao Tian appear and their eyes meet. Instantly, she blushes with embarrassment, grabs the silk quilt, covers herself, and crawls under the covers.
"Tao Tao, don't panic."
"Senior, how could you do this!" Tao Tao was ashamed and indignant, her heart filled with panic. She never expected that Senior Di Shitian would be such a person, secretly breaking into her boudoir.
"Hey, girl, give me a chance to explain! I didn't know either, how did I Teleport up here? Besides, you're all dressed up, we don't have X-ray vision, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Tian pouted, saying something against his will.
"Senior, turn your head around!"
"Okay, okay."
A few minutes later.
"Senior, it's done."
" The Tang Sect has it tough, girl. Your clothes are almost faded from washing. How about I buy you some nice dresses?"
Tao Tao looked on warily, increasingly feeling that this senior Di Shitian was beginning to reveal his true nature.
"Senior, there's no need for that. The Tang Sect doesn't have high requirements for clothing, and besides, it would be a waste to ruin nice new clothes for training and missions."
"Oh, I see. Well then, this senior will buy you a few bags." Xiao Tian chuckled.
Tao Tao's face immediately tightened.
"Senior, you peeked at my phone!"
Just now, she was looking at handbags, comparing some of the latest models, but she was having a headache because she didn't have enough money.
Seeing the older woman's angry expression, Xiao Tian immediately took out his phone.
"Most girls like handbags, right? After all, handbags are said to cure all ills and symbolize good fortune."
"Senior, you're really good at talking nonsense. But the bag I want to buy is very expensive. Are you sure you've thought it through?" Tao Tao's mind started racing. She had been eyeing a new bag for a while, and she was just two months away from saving up enough money.
"My word is my bond. Tell me, what style do you want?"
Afterwards, Tao Tao beamed with joy.
Xiao Tian found the beautiful mature woman's smile too pleasing to the eye.
"Payment successful, girl, just wait to receive the goods."
Tao Tao was overjoyed to have witnessed the entire process of placing an order, entering the shipping address, and making payment all in one smooth motion.
"Thank you for the bag, senior!"
Xiao Tian couldn't help but sigh that the Tang Sect was really strapped for cash. Look how happy this beautiful woman was just from buying a bag worth over 200,000 yuan.
He's a powerful figure in the Evolver World, after all! Although he's not a top-tier expert like the Old Celestial Master, he's still considered above second-rate.
Xiao Tian recalled the original timeline, where the Tang Sect was ambushed by the Quanxing, and the Corpse Demon, one of the Thirty-Six Outlaws, unleashed a powerful attack, causing the Three Corpses within the bodies of the Tang Sect's experts to manifest.
The Three Corpses are similar to the Daoist concept of "Severing the Three Corpses." The Three Corpses are the delusions, distracting thoughts, obsessions, desires, and so on of a cultivator. To avoid being affected by the Three Corpses, one's Daoist heart must be firm.
In the original timeline, Tao Tao was also infected by the Corpse Demon's abilities, resulting in the emergence of Three Corpses. However, these corpses manifested as a slightly temperamental little devil, carrying designer handbags, and showing little interest in men or the propagation of the race.
It can be said that Tao Tao was the least affected.
" Taozi, do you still want a bag?" Xiao Tian chuckled, like a big bad wolf smiling at Xiao Bai.
Tao Tao, quick-witted, immediately shook her head and said, "I cannot accept a reward without merit. This bag is compensation from you for your mistake, senior."
"Sigh, you're quite principled, aren't you? Alright, I won't waste any more words with you. Take me to see your sect leader; I have something to say to him."
"Okay, senior."
Inside the study of the Tang Sect Tang Miaoxing, the leader of the Tang Clan.
"Senior Di Shitian, what brings you here? Please speak freely. If you require assistance, I, Tang Miaoxing, will certainly offer my help!"
Tang Miaoxing said with certainty.
Di Shitian helped him comprehend the Pill Devouring and resolve his inner conflict. Taking advantage of his growing power, he overruled objections and allowed his junior brother Xu Xin to enter the Tang Sect openly.
" Little Tang, lately I've heard a lot of rumors that some forces are trying to use my name, Di Shitian, to cause trouble and seek their own interests, and they want me to take the blame." Xiao Tian Xiao at Tang Miaoxing with a smile.
Tang Miaoxing felt an immense increase in pressure, as if she were being watched by the Netherworld Yanluo the Jade Emperor of Heaven, and her soul almost left her body.
Incredibly strong! Terrifyingly strong!
Having mastered the Pill Devouring, Tang Miaoxing became increasingly aware of the vast gap between himself and this senior Di Shitian.
"Senior, what should our Tang Sect do? Please tell us."
Xiao Tian smiled, and with a wave of his hand, his ability to Spirit Binding and General Dispatch manifested, and a fire phoenix braving the dark phoenix flames appeared.
"Didn't you all want to know about me? Today, I'll tell you a story from a thousand years ago, from the late Tang Dynasty."
Tang Miaoxing's eyes widened in disbelief.
A thousand years ago!
This person has lived for a thousand years?!
"At that time, the Tang Dynasty's fortunes began to decline, and the Tui Bei Tu, which Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang had used to predict the Tui Bei Tu of the Great Tang Dynasty, was lost. In the martial arts world, bloodshed and violence erupted as ordinary people and Evolver engaged in a fierce battle."
"I was originally an ordinary innate Evolver in the Tang Dynasty. Because my Awakening abilities were too weak, I never revealed the fact that I was Evolver until a mysterious object fell into my hands, forcing me to take up the weapon that belongs to my body, imprinted on my genes and soul, to fight!"
Tang Miaoxing frowned. The Tui Bei Tu? Is it really that miraculous?
"You don't understand how chaotic the situation was Tui Bei Tu then, and the appearance of the Tui Bei Tu made me realize how great my potential was."
"Reborn from the ashes, like Feng Huang rising from the ashes! This is my innate ability!"
"This is my greatest asset in life!"
Xiao Heavenly Eye revealed a deep sense of vicissitude and loneliness as he sighed, "My former lovers and descendants have all grown old before my eyes. After my rebirth, one by one, my former bloodline families have withered away. Everyone yearns for immortality, yet they do not know that immortality is the most terrifying curse. I have traveled far and wide, searching for a way to break free, but alas, even though I created various techniques and taught them to all sorts of people, so that they might kill me, I am still immortal."
Tang Miaoxing felt a chill run down her spine!
Could it be that the Eight Impure Techniques, and many other techniques in the Evolver World, were spread by this very senior Di Shitian?
If it's true, that's terrifying!
" Little Tang, let me show you my true colors."
Xiao Tian used his Ruyi Divine Ability - Seventy-Two Transformations to transform himself into the appearance of Gai Nie middle-aged man from the Qin Dynasty.
"Pass on my message: One month from now, atop Mount Tai, whoever can kill me will receive my millennium-old treasure!"
Tang Miaoxing was dumbfounded.
