Xiao Tian, Zhang Chulan, and the others boarded a plane back to Jinzhou.
At the same time, Director Zhao Fangrui, the chairman of Nadutong Company, contacted the Ten Elders of the Evolver World.
Di Shitian declared, "A decisive duel awaits atop Mount Tai!"
However, Zhao Fangrui concealed an important piece of information: Di Shitian's true identity and the fact that he would be at the summit of Mount Tai. Whoever defeated Di Shitian would obtain all of Di Shitian's treasures accumulated over the past thousand years.
Zhao Fangrui dared not reveal this, otherwise he feared the Evolver World would erupt in chaos!
Moreover, it won't just be limited to the domestic Evolver World; it will trigger a global frenzy among Evolver!
A thousand years!
An ancient monster that has lived for a thousand years!
His treasure is so tempting! So terrifying! Enough to entice countless Evolver from around the world to fight to the death!
In various places, the Ten Elders of the Evolver World, who were connected via video, had different reactions upon learning that Di Shitian Fang Yan was challenging domestic Evolver at Mount Tai.
"Arrogant! I'd like to see just how powerful this Di Shitian really is!" Chen Jinkui of the Shuzi School sneered, clearly displeased.
"What a boastful Di Shitian! I'm really looking forward to it." Wang Ai's eyes were icy.
"Regarding Di Shitian, I'd like to know, what are your thoughts?" Director Zhao asked the Ten Elders were connected via video link.
"If this Di Shitian as powerful as the rumors say, I think we need to get serious, and we might even need the Old Celestial Master to come down the mountain," Lü Ci grinned and said frankly.
The Old Celestial Master remained silent.
Mu You, one of the Ten Elders and the Mu You of the Jianghu Inn, spoke up, "We don't have much information about this Di Shitian. The only thing we're certain of is that his Spirit Binding and General Dispatch is extremely powerful, and he also knows the Heavenly Talisman."
Mu You has played a royal flush!
" The Heavenly Talisman!" Lu Jin, one of the Ten Elders from the Lu Family, changed color.
Are you sure?
Mu You nodded and said, "Very likely." Actually, he didn't know either; he was just told to say that to put pressure on the other Ten Elders present, hoping that they would unite as one to fight against the external enemy.
Di Shitian's motives within the domestic Evolver World are unclear; he's a ticking time bomb! For the authorities, there must be a point of control over him.
The country is still developing, and the government will not tolerate ancient Evolver like Di Shitian who disrupt domestic peace.
Upon learning that Di Shitian also possessed the Heavenly Talisman, Lu Jin, one of the Ten Elders, had to ponder the information he had previously gathered.
Di Shitian may have been the originator of the Eight Impure Techniques.
Were the Eight Impure Techniques truly mastered by Zhang Huaiyi and others?
If it was truly what Zhang Huaiyi and others comprehended, then why would Di Shitian Heavenly Talisman and the Spirit Binding and General Dispatch?
Moreover, according to the information, Di Shitian's Spirit Binding and General Dispatch is extremely powerful and sophisticated.
Furthermore, the Feng Family and Wang Family were also investigated, and it was found that Di Shitian was not a member of their families. It can be said that Di Shitian was a mysterious Evolver who appeared out of nowhere.
" Mu You, you've had contact with Di Shitian, what are your thoughts?" Director Zhao asked.
Mu You nodded, his expression grave, and said, "Besides these two terrifying skills, Di Shitian is also adept at extremely strange and masterful transformation techniques. His disguises are so sophisticated that even I cannot discern them. Therefore, to deal with Di Shitian, we must either strike swiftly and decisively or proceed cautiously and gently. We must never push him too far."
"At the summit of Mount Tai, does Di Shitian intend to wipe out all the powerful figures in our Evolver World?" asked one of the Ten Elders, Na Ruhu.
Na Ruhu one of the two Gouketsu in the Evolver World, and one of the Ten Elders, Ru Hu was very willing to spar with the mysterious Di Shitian.
" Di Shitian's intentions might actually exist, so what do you think, Old Celestial Master?" Director Zhao stared at the Old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei, who was silent and meditating with his eyes closed.
"Has Di Shitian not shown any signs of threatening society or causing instability? The summit of Mount Tai is a friendly competition, a test. I am already under punishment and will not be descending the mountain in the future. Therefore, the summit of Mount Tai is now up to you."
" Old Celestial Master, if Di Shitian is at most only slightly stronger than us, or at about the same level, then naturally we don't need to trouble you. But if he has the ability to sweep us away, then this Evolver World can only be dealt with by you, Old Celestial Master." Lü Ci grinned.
"Therefore, Director Zhao, if the sparring session atop Mount Tai reveals significant problems, I suggest that we temporarily lift the Old Celestial Master's confinement and deal with Di Shitian."
"Reconsider," Wang Ai said.
"Agreed," Feng Zhenghao, Na Ruhu, Mu You said.
"No," Chen Jinkui shook his head, refusing.
" Chen Jinkui, what are you doing!" Lü Ci's eyes were icy cold.
Chen Jinkui thought that if even the Old Celestial Master couldn't withstand Di Shitian, wouldn't Xiao Tian go berserk if something happened?
Chen Jinkui understood that in the Evolver World, although the Old Celestial Master was the strongest, the mysterious Xiao Tian was not to be underestimated, and might even be able to crush the other nine people present besides the Old Celestial Master.
" The Old Celestial Master's choice has always been firm; how can it be changed so easily? Don't forget what era we live in now! Even if all nine of us die at the hands of Di Shitian, are we afraid that those powerful Di Shitian won't be able to deal with him?"
"Hmph! Do you think other countries will just stand by and watch with this commotion? They're bound to cause trouble. And if our Evolver World suffers heavy losses, don't forget the devastation of the past," Mu You said, frowning.
" Old Celestial Master, what do you think?" Director Zhao Fangrui stared at Old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei.
The Old Celestial Master opened his eyes, which shone with a restrained brilliance, and said calmly, "We will follow the official orders. After all, I am a criminal."
"Alright, since that's the case, let's wait until the time comes, then have eight of the Ten Elders and some powerful figures from the Evolver World test Di Shitian's level. If possible, we won't kill him, but will instead uncover his true intentions."
It is worth mentioning here that Grandmaster Jiekong, one of the Ten Elders, had severed his meridians in his early years and had no cultivation left. However, he held a position among the Ten Elders due to his great prestige.
"If Di Shitian is ruthless and his aim is to slaughter the powerful figures in Evolver World Evolver World and dominate it, then the waiting Old Celestial Master should prepare a surprise attack."
Director Zhao continued, "I will try my best to lift the confinement of the Old Celestial Master for a period of time."
Jinzhou, Xiao Tian, Zhang Chulan, and the others returned to the Nadutong base, they were immediately called over by Xu San Xu Si.
" The Evolver World has been quite turbulent lately," Xu San said with a wry smile.
"How so?" Xiao Tian raised an eyebrow, understanding the cause and effect.
" Di Shitian has appeared. We currently have a mission: to capture Di Shitian alive on the day of the duel at the summit of Mount Tai."
"Seriously? Capturing him alive is worse than crippling him. That mission is way too difficult." Xiao Tian scoffed.
"Almost. Regarding this Di Shitian, have the Ten Elders taken any action?"
Zhang Chulan frowned.
Xu Si extinguished his cigarette and said solemnly, " Old Zhao said that eight of the Ten Elders will be present at the summit of Mount Tai this time. Although Di Shitian's strength is rumored to be extraordinary, with eight powerful figures and even more powerful figures from the Evolver World joining forces, they can test Di Shitian's true level."
"Will the Old Celestial Master's confinement not be lifted?"
"That depends on how serious the situation is." Xu Si frowned, turning to Xiao Deva Path and saying, " Old Zhao, I asked you to pass on a message: your Dragon Guard needs to devise a covert plan to find a way to capture or restrain Di Shitian alive."
Xiao Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes. It was really funny to be catching yourself.
The day of the duel atop Mount Tai is truly a wonderful day to look forward to.
As time passed, the Evolver World was filled with unease. Much information about Di Shitian disappeared, large and small, until the day of the duel at the summit of Mount Tai dominated the news.
Many Evolver used various tools to reach Mount Tai ahead of time.
The Mount Tai scenic area has been closed recently to prevent the gods from fighting and mortals from suffering.
On the eve of the duel, powerful figures from various factions mingled together. Some were officially organized and had a plan, while others were troublemakers who wanted to help Di Shitian or launch surprise attacks on him to force him to reveal the secrets of his Di Shitian skills.
The night is deep, Full Moon hangs high in the sky.
Whether it was good luck or something truly miraculous, the unusual celestial phenomenon startled countless people around the world.
Nine stars aligned!
Calamity descends from the heavens!
Above the summit of Mount Tai, a terrifying gale swept through. An ordinary person standing there would be completely disoriented, their body parts caught on some tree branch or some patch of ground.
Xiao Tian, the instigator and the third identity Di Shitian, was very puzzled at this moment.
"What's going on? The heavens are really giving us a hard time, with such a grand display."
"But that doesn't make sense. I'm practically the heavens! This is a nine-star alignment. What kind of trouble is Mount Tai going to cause?"
Xiao Tian used his Ruyi Divine Ability - Seventy-Two Transformations to transform into the appearance of Kogoro Mouri and traveled through a raging sandstorm. He was protected by a thin layer of light, as thin as a cicada's wing, making him impervious to all evil and indestructible, and isolating him from all threats.
Xiao Tian's senses were sharp; he was searching for the source of the wind.
Meanwhile, several of the Ten Elders were also searching for the source of the wind.
"Accelerating, this gust of wind must have been caused by Di Shitian. But the alignment of the nine stars, such a rare and ominous sign, is really a pain in the ass." Chen Jinkui's face was grim, and his scalp tingled.
As a sorcerer, I am very sensitive to celestial phenomena and changes in stars. Everything in the world follows a law, a trend that is developing. Just like when the human body is sick, there are some signs that remind us.
Therefore, the appearance of certain celestial phenomena and stars tells the world that the world is about to fall ill and disaster is coming.
Of course, these things are insignificant to the planet as a whole, but for a particular race or civilization, they could very well be a cataclysmic end.
At the source of the gale, Xiao Tian was the first to arrive and discovered that it was a cluster of naturally formed, rare and precious materials.
The Xun Wind Essence!
It was a strange, ethereal object floating low in the air, like a gemstone or crystal. It seemed to be absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, existing naturally, yet causing such a terrifying gust of wind.
"This is great stuff!"
Xiao Tian unleashed his Kamui, tearing apart the spatial spiral, the opening like the maw of Taotie, devouring the Xun Wind Essence.
When Chen Jinkui arrived, he only saw the dark crack that was about to close.
As the Xun Wind Essence disappeared, the potential energy of the gale gradually and rapidly subsided.
The expressions of the several Evolver who had emerged from the darkness and were now closing up were all extremely solemn.
They discovered Di Shitian.
"Hi everyone," Xiao Tian greeted Chen Jinkui and the others with a smile.
Chen Jinkui and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
" Di Shitian, atop Mount Tai, the day of the duel is about to begin."
"That's right, whoever can kill me will receive my millennia-old treasure!" Xiao Tian's lips curled into a wicked smile, unafraid of making things worse.
"A thousand years of accumulation? What do you mean?" Chen Jinkui, Na Ruhu, and the others frowned.
"What? Has no one told you the truth? I have actually lived for a thousand years!"
Xiao Tian laughed.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinkui and the others felt their scalps tingle and their hair stand on end.
