Jinling's Plan Fails! Turtle Roar Cannon

"It's even more profound than the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, but... it's still not perfect!"

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi made his evaluation of Jinling.

Of course, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi did not underestimate Jinling because of the imperfections in Jinling's moves at this moment; on the contrary...

At this moment, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's evaluation of Jinling rose even higher.

The fact that the techniques are not perfect, from another perspective, means that Jinling can still improve and has considerable room for progress.

With an imperfect technique, Jinling had already established himself as an invincible figure in the Quasi-Sage realm. Once this technique was perfected...

For the first time, a hint of killing intent flashed in the gaze of Celestial Venerable Yuanshi as he looked at Jinling.

Good.

Only now did Celestial Venerable Yuanshi reveal a hint of killing intent towards Jinling.

Previously, although Jinling thought that Celestial Venerable Yuanshi had come to deal with her, in reality, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi had no intention of killing Jinling.

Although the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, as a Sage, certainly had the ability to kill Jinling, Quasi-Sage Realm, it was not worth it.

As a disciple of the Cult Master Tongtian, Jinling was undoubtedly protected by Cult Master Tongtian for a period of time.

Even if Jinling is killed, Jinling will not truly Guixu, but will return someday in the future.

The consequence of this was that Celestial Venerable Yuanshi completely broke ties with Cult Master Tongtian.

As the elder brother, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi understood Cult Master Tongtian. If he had truly killed Jinling, he would have wanted to send him Guixu.

The Cult Master Tongtian would not hesitate at all; he would definitely draw his sword and start a battle with him.

Although Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was not afraid, and had even anticipated that this scene would occur sooner or later,... now is not the time.

So...

From the very beginning, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi did not truly intend to kill Jinling.

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's only thought was to capture Jinling, seal him away for a period of time, and wait for the Immortal Slaughter Tribulation to pass and everything to be settled.

Whether you kill me or release me, it doesn't matter to me.

But now...

Seeing Jinling's behavior, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi truly harbored murderous intent towards Jinling.

In the eyes of the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, Jinling at this moment undoubtedly possessed the capital to attain enlightenment, and in the great era to come, attaining sainthood would not be difficult.

This 'genius' is destined to become an enemy!

It's better to die naturally!

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi had already silently decided that after the Immortal Slaughter Tribulation, it would be best for Jinling to perish along with the Jie Sect.

Although countless thoughts flowed through the Holy Soul of the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, for the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi Sage Realm, these thoughts were not even worth a fleeting moment.

Jinling was clearly unaware that, in this realm of time beyond her perception, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi had already quietly harbored murderous intent towards her.

Of course... that doesn't matter.

After all, in Jinling's view, she was destined to die.

Looking at the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi before her, Jinling unmoved; she was not at all surprised that her attack had been blocked.

Although her attacks were powerful, they were still far, far away from being able to harm Sage.

Jinling was aware of this.

A single strike followed by a swift retreat.

Jinling quickly retreated.

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi did not make things difficult for Jinling, letting her go easily, his eyes calmly watching Jinling before him.

At this moment, Jin Ling, who was retreating, waved the Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure Jinling treasure Dragon-Tiger Jade Ruyi, repeatedly, and the incomparably dazzling starlight rushed towards Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

But...

Simply by sitting cross-legged in place, an invisible protective barrier appeared before Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, blocking out all the dazzling starlight.

Only...

Jinling's goal was never to defeat Celestial Venerable Yuanshi; she was not arrogant enough to believe that she could rival Sage.

Jinling's goal from beginning to end was only one thing: to block Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, just like Shiji had done before, so that his clone could take Shiji and escape.

Although compared to the realm of the Sage, Jinling Quasi-Sage is nothing more than a slightly larger ant compared to Shiji Taiyi Golden Immortal.

But...

That difference is enough!

Jinling looked at the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi before her, and she could see him very clearly.

Seeing the arrogance of the Sage Realm on the body of the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

He could have easily killed her, but he didn't. Instead, he seemed to be in control of the situation, quietly watching her make her move.

And this...

But this is her chance!

A brilliant light suddenly appeared in Jinling's eyes.

Within the Nine Provinces Barrier, it is impossible to activate the Great Dao to draw upon the power of the Primordial World, but at this moment, Jinling is able to draw upon the Power of Stars of the Primordial World.

At this moment, with the help of the Power of Stars, Jinling directly activated the Great Dao of the Stars, condensing starlight that was even more powerful and sharper than before.

Jinling's entire body seemed to have transformed into a real Primordial World star.

If it weren't for the suppression of the Human Race's Nine Provinces Barrier at this moment, once Jinling unleashed this move, the entire area within billions of miles would probably be crushed by Jinling's pressure.

Even with the existence of the Nine Provinces Barrier, the void around Jinling was distorted, and the deepest part of the void began to shatter.

"What you used just now was pure power, but now you're using... the Great Dao of the Stars?"

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi remained calmly gazing at the Jinling before him, even offering his own soft comments about Jinling.

"An exceptionally skillful technique... It combines the mysteries of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation with the author's insights into the Great Dao of the Stars, and further refines them."

"Moreover, in a place like the Nine Provinces, to be able to use the Great Dao of the Stars —among the many Quasi-Sage of the Primordial World, no one is more outstanding than you."

The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi calmly looked at Jinling and praised her.

"The best?"

Upon hearing Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's praise, Jinling paused, then a smile appeared on his face, "It seems that even Sage are not omniscient!"

"Oh! Do you know any Quasi-Sage who are even more outstanding than you?"

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi looked at Jinling with great interest.

Although Jinling's business wasn't large, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, with his level of cultivation, naturally heard everything clearly.

And...

Judging from Jinling's tone, she clearly did not agree with the praise she received.

For a moment, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi became quite interested.

In the eyes of the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, although there were quite a few Quasi-Sage in the Primordial World, only a few veteran Quasi-Sage could be compared to Jinling.

However, there shouldn't be anything among them that can compare to Jinling.

Even Haotian, in the eyes of Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, might not be as talented as Jinling.

After all, Haotian's so-called Quasi-Sage combat power was due to the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit Dao Fruit, which he obtained by virtue of his identity as Heavenly Emperor Dao Ancestor Hongjun's attendant.

If we're really comparing it to Jinling, it's still a long way off!

While those veteran Quasi-Sage may have accumulated profound knowledge over countless years, they still fall short of Jinling in some respects.

Who exactly was this Quasi-Sage that even Jinling willingly admitted his inferiority?

Seeing that Celestial Venerable Yuanshi had not made a move, Jinling was naturally happy with this.

The longer she delays her confrontation with Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, the safer it is for her avatar and Shiji, although...

She also knew that, given the methods of the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi Sage, it was impossible for him to have made such a grave mistake.

But...

The longer we delay, the greater our chances of escaping with our clones and the world later.

"The primordial Primordial World is so vast, there are naturally Quasi-Sage more outstanding than Jinling," Jinling said in a deep voice, gazing at Celestial Venerable Yuanshi Tianzun.

"This is not the answer I want to hear!" Celestial Venerable Yuanshi shook his head slightly, a hint of disappointment appearing in his eyes as he looked at Jinling.

Although he didn't care about Jinling's little tricks on the other side, Jinling's excuse for stalling for time was really too lame.

So inferior that even the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi Venerable's interest in the Quasi-Sage, who was even more outstanding than Jinling, had diminished considerably.

Immediately, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi had a thought, and an invisible hand reached out directly towards Jinling.

"Not long ago, you were just making fun of my worthless disciples like this, weren't you?" Celestial Venerable Yuanshi said softly.

That invisible hand had already firmly grasped Jinling in its palm.

Even Jinling, at the height of his power, was unable to detect the invisible hand that Celestial Venerable Yuanshi had extended beforehand.

They had no means to withstand the power of the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

Holding the Jinling in his palm, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi gazed indifferently at the Jinling, which was struggling and shimmering with starlight.

With a thought, he and Jinling vanished from the spot.

On the other side...

'Jinling' is running wildly forward.

This was an avatar of Jinling. After knocking Shiji unconscious, Jinling arranged for this avatar to take Shiji and escape quickly.

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi did not prevent this incarnation from leaving.

"We're almost there, main body, hold on! Just three more breaths and that will be enough..." 'Jinling' gazed at the distant Human Race Domain Gate that was now in sight.

There was not a trace of hope in his eyes.

Use Sage to control Sage!

This was the only method Jinling could think of.

Although the Domain Gate distributed throughout the Nine Provinces of the Human Race are numerous, they are all genuine creations of Sage.

The strange world behind its Domain Gate was personally constructed by the Human Race Holy Emperor Fuxi.

As long as we can escape into that Domain Gate, there is hope.

Of course, Jinling did not expect this Domain Gate to stop Celestial Venerable Yuanshi and allow them to escape.

All she hoped for was that this Domain Gate world could buy her a sliver of time, a sliver of time... to inform her master, the Cult Master Tongtian.

This was the only way that the Holy Mother Jinling had thought of to survive and save her life.

As for...

Why did the Holy Mother Jinling cry for help earlier?

Just as the appearance of Celestial Venerable Yuanshi at this moment confirmed Jinling's thoughts, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi... had probably been monitoring True Person Taiyi all along.

Or rather... it was protecting True Person Taiyi's scheme against Nezha.

For some reason, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi did not stop her, but allowed her to ruin True Person Taiyi's plan.

But...

There is no doubt that the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi had noticed her long ago.

At that time, Holy Mother Jinling could do was keep pretending that she hadn't discovered Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's scheme.

If, at that time, Jinling wanted to pass the message to the Cult Master Tongtian...

No matter how much Jinling tries to conceal it, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi will probably see through it at a glance.

Jinling, however, did not believe he had the ability to relay the message to his master under the watchful eye of the Sage Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

So...

At that moment, the only thing Jinling could do was pretend to know nothing, hoping to deceive Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

Unfortunately...

Although the initial plan went very smoothly, Jinling ultimately failed to keep it a secret from Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

Or rather, she was seen through by Celestial Venerable Yuanshi in the early stages.

However, it's unclear what Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's mindset was, but he watched as Jinling ruined True Person Taiyi's plans.

However... even though the Domain Gate was in sight, even though hope was right before his eyes, Jinling dared not relax in the slightest.

The tension even intensified, and even the already limited speed unconsciously increased slightly.

Although Jinling didn't know the extent of the 'Sage's' Divine Ability powers, Jinling knew that even if it wasn't Sage, it was Jinling herself.

Under these circumstances, it would not be difficult to stop her clone and Shiji.

Let alone Sage!

Jinling's only hope now is that... Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's arrogance will leave her with a sliver of hope!

The avatar of Jinling was getting closer and closer to the Domain Gate, now less than a thousand meters... less than a hundred meters... less than ten meters...

Nine meters... five meters... three meters... one meter!

Finally, at the instant when the Jinling avatar was less than a meter away from the Domain Gate...

"Certainly!"

A mighty voice suddenly resounded between heaven and earth, and then, wherever the voice passed, all things fell silent.

The earth, mountains, rivers, trees... everything, at this moment, quietly stood still.

It is not merely a superficial stillness, but rather a state of stillness encompassing everything from the most minute material basis to the flow of energy, and even the spiritual essence of heaven and earth.

Apart from...

The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi appeared out of nowhere!

Gazing at the Jinling that was only a step away from the dimensional Domain Gate, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi showed no emotion, simply watching quietly.

Then...

"Boom--"

Incomparably dazzling starlight suddenly erupted from the body of the Jinling's incarnation.

This was a contingency plan left by the true form of Jinling on its incarnation.

And this gamble is on... this very moment!

At this moment, Jinling's avatar burned everything it possessed, and the power it generated was even several times stronger than that of Jinling's original self.

At this moment, even the Divine Ability personally unleashed by the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was temporarily forced back by the dazzling starlight.

The Jinling incarnation then directly threw Shiji towards the Domain Gate.

She left a method on Shiji, so that as soon as Shiji entered the Domain Gate, it would directly notify the Cult Master Tongtian.

If this Domain Gate can truly withstand the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, even for just a brief moment...

Then Jinling's plan can be considered a success.

Only...

The Shiji that crashed into the Domain Gate did not enter as Jinling had predicted, but was instead refused entry.

"This..."

The Jinling incarnation—no, the Jinling incarnation—burned everything away. At this moment, the Jinling itself looked at the scene before it, its eyes filled with despair.

"You don't really think your petty schemes can fool me, do you?" A smile finally appeared on the face of the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

A mocking, sarcastic smile.

"You did this on purpose!"

Although she had expected it, seeing this scene before her still made Jinling's eyes widen in fury, and she gritted her teeth.

Gazing at the Holy Mother Jinling before him, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi Lord pondered for a moment before slowly continuing, "I remember, this was supposed to be said like this!"

Call me Senior Uncle--
