I want to learn!
After thinking it over carefully for a while, Zhang Miaohua finally nodded, indicating that she wanted to become Wang Hao's successor.
"Very well, from this day forward you are my nominal disciple. If you can cultivate the Taiji Xuanqing Dao to the Upper Clarity Realm within two years, you will become my direct disciple!"
With a smile and a nod, Wang Hao acknowledged this disciple as his nominal student.
He did not teach her the Taiji Mysterious Purity Dao, because although the girl had good aptitude and her cultivation had reached the First-Rate level, she was still not capable of carrying the information transmission of Innate Divine Sense.
Moreover, he had already passed on the knock-off version of the Taiji Mysterious Purity Dao chapter to Zhang Sanfeng, and the old Daoist could then pass it on to him.
"Daoist Master, this is Zhu Ruoxue, the adopted daughter of Yanzu, and also a disciple of the Divine Lord Ximen Chuixue. Before the Divine Lord left, he said that he could ask you for help with the bloodline fusion!"
Seeing that Wang Hao had chosen the successor, Wheel-Turning King quickly stepped forward with Zhu Ruoxue and respectfully said...
"Did you bring any exotic beasts?"
Raising an eyebrow slightly, Wang Hao asked calmly.
"It has already been brought!"
Wheel-Turning King nodded, and Xie Feng, who had been waiting, came carrying a large vat.
Inside the jar was a strange-looking fish, resembling a long snake but much thicker, over ten feet long, filling the huge jar completely.
If a modern animal enthusiast were here, they would surely recognize this as an electric eel, though it is much larger than a typical electric eel.
That's right, this is an electric eel, and it was born from Zhou Xueyi's electric eel Xiaolongnü. It was Awakening the Bloodline Power, which is why it has grown so huge.
When he went to the Bohai Sea to meet up with Zhou Xueyi's fleet last time, he also asked her to bring over an electric eel to help Zhu Ruoxue fuse with the power of Awakening Bloodline Power.
After all, there are very few creatures in the animal kingdom that possess the power of lightning, and they are not even from the Central Plains. Having finally obtained this electric eel, we certainly can't let it go.
So a few days ago, Zhou Xueyi secretly sent someone to contact Xie Feng and transfer the electric eel over, and then handed it over to Wheel-Turning King, which led to today's scene.
"Good heavens, that unscrupulous merchant really knows how to spend big!"
Wang Hao glanced at the electric eel curled up in the water tank with feigned appreciation, then casually took a little blood and used the subtle manipulation of his Innate Divine Sense to separate the necessary gene fragments, which he then integrated into Zhu Ruoxue's body.
With his assistance, although the process was somewhat painful, it was child's Yi Li for Zhu Ruoxue, who only slightly furrowed her brow throughout, and then Sisi sparks of electricity appeared on her body.
It is clear that he has fused and Awakening the Bloodline Power, and has also Awakening Bloodline Divine Ability.
"Huh?"
Seeing the faint electric light appearing on Zhu Ruoxue's body, Wang Hao was surprised.
He originally thought this girl would Awakening the same supernatural power as Zhou Xueyi, but things didn't go as planned.
Zhou Xueyi's Awakening lightning supernatural power is the control of lightning power, while Zhu Ruoxue's Bloodline Divine Ability is the generation of lightning power.
It's impossible to compare which is stronger or weaker, but in the initial stages, Zhu Ruoxue's Bloodline Divine Ability will likely be more practical and powerful.
Just then, Zhu Ruoxue closed her eyes for a long time, then suddenly opened them wide. A flash of lightning appeared, and her delicate figure seemed to have traversed space, instantly appearing ten feet away.
This scene made the hearts of the martial arts practitioners who had been watching this place jump, and the faces of those Innate Realm experts who were only at the Early Innate of the Innate Realm turned somewhat ugly.
Because they hadn't even seen Zhu Ruoxue's speed and movements clearly, meaning that if that girl had used that move, they wouldn't have been able to react at all. If she had the means to break through protective qi, she could probably have killed them instantly.
Only those at the Middle Innate or higher could remain somewhat calm, but even they were still quite wary of this.
It should be noted that Zhu Ruoxue is currently only at the First-Rate- rate level. If she can possess such strength with such a low level of cultivation, if she becomes even stronger and eventually becomes Grandmaster Realm, she will likely be able to threaten them.
After the initial shock, everyone's expressions couldn't help but show a greater sense of longing.
They want that power too!
Having experienced her own innate supernatural power once, Zhu Ruoxue slowly walked back, her face somewhat pale. Clearly, the attack had taken a toll on her, but it could still serve as a trump card for survival.
Just then, Wang Hao's expression suddenly changed. He flashed in front of Zhu Ruoxue, raised his hand and struck out with a palm. A dazzling golden light burst forth, making his entire arm look as if it had been cast in gold.
At the same time, an arrow suddenly appeared in front of them.
The golden palm collided with the arrow, which immediately shattered, and the golden palm also shattered with a bang.
That wasn't the end of it. After the arrow shattered, a strange, eerie light pierced towards Wang Hao's palm.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
A series of piercing and eerie sounds rang out. Wang Hao's entire arm, which he had slapped out, was rapidly corroded by a strange force. Black lines spread from his palm outwards like a spider web, which was extremely sinister.
Fortunately, the surge of golden light within his arm cleared away the eerie spiderwebs.
" The Emperor-Slaying Crossbow! How dare a mere assassin from the Net Trap organization, who dares to be so insolent before me? Today, I will make you perish here!"
With a cold and sharp shout, Wang Hao's body crackled with electricity. At the same time, he stepped on the Taiji Chi diagram and transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing off in one direction as if chasing some kind of being.
It wasn't until then that everyone present reacted. Looking at the shattered arrow fragments scattered on the ground, everyone's expression turned grim, even those at the Peak Innate.
Because none of them had noticed how the arrow had appeared, not even their own intuition, honed over years of martial arts training, had given them the slightest warning.
In other words, if that arrow had been aimed at them, they would probably be corpses by now. How could they not be terrified?
" Nanzhen, you're the fastest here, go check it out. The rest of you, stay with me and protect Master Sanfeng. You three little girls, come over here too."
An old Daoist priest immediately gave orders and ordered Zhu Yunlu, Zhu Ruoxue, and Zhang Miaohua, who had gained Wang Hao's approval, to enter the protective circle.
These three women are all disciples valued by the Tribulation Lords of the Ten Directions the Heavenly Demon Sacred Cult Sect. They dare not let these three girls get into trouble on their Taoist School territory, not to mention that Zhang Miaohua, one of them, is a junior member of their Taoist School, so they must protect her even more closely.
Without hesitation, the three women walked quickly to Zhang Sanfeng's side. They were firmly protected by the Taoist School experts, and all the martial arts practitioners present also surrounded them, forming several defensive circles and remaining on high alert.
There was nothing they could do; that arrow was just too strange, and they couldn't guarantee that the enemy wouldn't strike again.
At that moment, Zhang Sanfeng underwent an unusual change. The Taiji power within his body burst forth, forming a Taiji diagram that enveloped his entire body. At the same time, his aura, which had not fluctuated for hundreds of years, suddenly began to surge.
This change shocked everyone present, followed by ecstasy, especially among the many powerful figures in the Taoist School.
The mere receipt of the inheritance allowed Zhang Sanfeng, a powerful figure, to make significant progress in his cultivation, demonstrating the power of that inheritance. This is a great thing for the entire Taoist School!
Almost everyone present was captivated by Zhang Sanfeng's extraordinary transformation, except for a few highly skilled Daoist priests who had other thoughts on their minds and began to exchange ideas in secret.
"Grandmaster, didn't you think that the techniques and movements used by Daoist Priest Chunyang just now were somewhat similar to the Golden Cauldron Divine Art and Palm Lightning of our Celestial Master's Manor?"
A relatively young Daoist priest secretly inquired via telepathy, his expression very solemn.
"You noticed it too?"
The old Daoist priest, who was being questioned, glanced at him sideways and secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "Once Master Sanfeng wakes up, we should go and check on him as soon as possible."
Leaving aside the changes on this mountain, Wang Hao, after running more than two hundred feet using the Taiji Cloud-Stepping Steps, finally stopped on the summit of a desolate mountain.
"Tsk tsk... This optimized Taiji Cloud-Stepping Steps and Xunlei Membership are truly extraordinary. Not only are they faster, but they also consume far less power!"
Stopping to collect his energy, Wang Hao sensed that he had only used up less than Issei of his Innate Qi and was quite satisfied.
That's right, the lightness skill he just used was the same one he used to show off when he went to the Wudang Sect. However, at that time, due to his limited understanding of Taoist School martial arts, it was still very imperfect and had many flaws.
Only after he had read through all the Taoist School scriptures was he able to completely perfect them, not only at a faster pace but also with only one-tenth the energy consumption of before.
Most importantly, as he created the Taiji Mysterious Purity Dao, the Innate Yin and Yang Qi in his dantian had been subtly transforming from a Yin -Yin and Yang diagram into Taiji Diagram. With this change, the Dao diagram he condensed under his feet as a means of leveraging power was also forcibly transformed into Taiji Dao diagram, making it even more prestigious.
Of course, in addition to this, he also used the Innate Thunder Qi in his body to stimulate his body and speed up, which is why he was able to travel more than two hundred miles in such a short time.
Of course, the method he used to stimulate his physical body with Innate Thunder Qi was completely different from the one he used when he was disguised as Ximen Chuixue. Instead, it was optimized and derived from a major branch of Taoist School.
The reason for showcasing this, besides increasing speed, is more importantly to find an ally for the Old Zhu Household, a staunch ally.
After all, the Old Zhu Household already had three inheritors of the Tribulation Lords of the Ten Directions — Zhu Yunlu, Zhu Ruoxue, and Zhu Wudao— on the surface, making them easy targets for criticism.
Although the Old Zhu Household has recently improved its strength with his help, it still lacks high-end combat power.
After all, to this day, the Old Zhu Household only has Zhu Yuanzhang, a peerless expert at the Peak Innate. And this time, the Confucian School have been severely tricked by him, so it's hard to say what they might do next.
Once the Confucian School go all out, the Old Zhu Household, with its current strength, would absolutely be unable to withstand them. That's why he meticulously deduced another kind of Taoist School lineage in the mountains. He figured that if that lineage had seen what just happened, they would definitely have some thoughts about it.
" Xiao Mengmeng, are you sure there aren't any other martial arts masters within a hundred miles?"
Suppressing his thoughts, Wang Hao secretly asked Xiao Mengmeng.
There was a reason he stopped on this desolate mountain: he had just had Xiao Mengmeng search the area, and there were basically no strong people within a hundred miles. Moreover, the surrounding area was full of continuous mountain ranges, making it a remote and uninhabited place, perfect for his next deception plan.
"It has been confirmed that there are no martial artists with cultivation levels exceeding Second-rate within a radius of one hundred miles, and there are no other humans within a radius of thirty miles."
Xiao Mengmeng replied casually, and although her tone was very relaxed, it made Wang Hao feel very at ease.
He trusts this bigwig to get things done!
"Now that the location is confirmed, the next step is to create the fake location. And to make matters better, the lightning up there can be put to use!"
Looking around, Wang Hao finally looked up at the gloomy sky, from which came occasional loud rumbling sounds, clearly from a violent thundercloud.
This thundercloud also conveniently benefited him, allowing him to perfect his subsequent forgery plan.
This was a crucial part of his deception plan, enabling him to further swindle those martial arts practitioners.
