Giving Away the Treasure

Jin Chang indeed does not know how to use the Tai Jie Liu Fu.

Even though Jin Chang had practiced the Fortune Technique, it was still the same.

Without a sufficiently strong Fortune Body, this treasure is difficult to activate.

Zhang Xuezhou Fortune Body to activate two of the six runes in the Tai Rank, while Jin Chang was unable to use any runes. For Jin Chang, the Law Treasure was merely a token for entering and leaving the Yin-Yang Sacred Land.

It's quite normal that Jin Chang was unwilling to keep the Tai-rank Six Talismans, especially since he could still infiltrate the Yin-Yang Sacred Land at certain times even without them.

As a heirloom of the Yin-Yang School, Jin Chang has the right and obligation to safeguard it, as does Zhang Xuezhou.

This heirloom, which would have been fought over fiercely in the past, became something that Jin Chang and Zhang Xuezhou both refused to keep after realizing the risks involved.

However, this token cannot fall into the hands of the Immortal Court, nor can it be discarded at will. It is more troublesome to deal with than the two puppet heads that Jin Chang used.

"In short, you caused this mess, and you have to clean it up," Jin Chang said.

"I've only just entered the Divine Ability Realm, and you're already making me do such dangerous things? Don't you have any sense of responsibility as a senior uncle?" Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed.

"I'm only at the Divine Ability Realm right now," Jin Chang said, dissatisfied. "Unless you quickly bring me the cultivation materials for the Sole Self Realm and help me step into the True Self Realm, I won't be able to take over and safeguard this Tai-rank Six Talisman!"

"As long as you send me to the Xieluosi River Holy Land immediately, I can go and see the Venerable One once he comes out of seclusion, and then ask my godfather to tell me about the cultivation content of the Nine Heavens Sect," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I'll give it to you... Why do I feel like even after you've reached the Divine Ability Realm, retrieving the Yin Yang Great Compassion Nine Heavens Incantation isn't going to be as fast?" Jin Chang asked, regaining his senses.

Going to the Xieluosi River Holy Land is only the first hurdle, while waiting for Venerable Zhu Jiuyin to emerge from seclusion is the second hurdle.

For these ancient demons, seclusion lasting for several years is quite normal.

The mere thought of these conditions made Jin Chang's heart ache so much he could hardly breathe.

"My godfather is living in His Majesty's secret place. I should at least be able to see him normally, right?" Zhang Xuezhou said. "Why don't you first help me find out if His Majesty has come out of seclusion? As soon as he's out of the secret place, I'll go straight there!"

"What bad luck!"

Jin Chang yelled and started grabbing wildly with both hands.

He stared at the abyss below Mount Tai, his teeth grinding in hatred.

He originally intended to find a place to bury the heads of the wolf demon Jiu Feng and the little fox demon, but in his rage, he threw the two bound heads far away.

Like stones falling, Jin Chang disposed of the two puppet heads, which were marked with Technique Method, with a look of displeasure.

"Now you're in charge of the Six Talismans of the Tai Rank. I don't care if you bury them in the ground, keep them with some expert, or hide them somewhere I can't find them. You're in charge of handling this. I'm going to the Xieluosi River Holy Land to find out about the old dragon's emergence from seclusion!"

Jin Chang was so angry that he spat and cursed, getting Zhang Xuezhou's face covered in saliva.

He then pointed impatiently to the Heavenly Capital Lord Temple below, indicating that Rong Tianding could step out of that secret place before dawn.

Damn it!

Jin Chang cursed and swore, then stopped arguing with Zhang Xuezhou and vanished into the darkness in a flash.

"Uncle-Master? Uncle-Master?"

Zhang Xuezhou called out twice.

Jin Chang's emotions changed too quickly, and Zhang Xuezhou simply couldn't communicate with such an unreasonable person.

Looking at the Tai-rank six-talisman in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a headache about how to deal with it.

They couldn't afford to lose it, nor could they hide it. When their own strength was insufficient to contend with the Immortal Court, they felt uneasy even holding a treasure in their hands.

"Give it to the Emperor... He'll probably give me a good beating once he figures things out. Besides, the Emperor isn't a court cultivator, and he can't use the Tai-level Six Talismans. To him, it's just a useless treasure. It wouldn't be able to withstand Master Dong, but His Majesty... His Majesty... His Majesty should be able to use it too!"

Zhang Xuezhou needs to send the treasure away to avoid trouble, and also needs a chance to retrieve it.

He pondered the solution back and forth, and felt that giving the Taijie Six Talismans to the new emperor after returning to Chang'an City was a good idea.

Once the new emperor cultivates his Fortune Body, the opponent will be able to use the Tai-level Six Talismans.

The Tai Jie Six Talismans are tokens for entering and exiting the Yin-Yang Sacred Land, but they are also treasures and are not limited to the Yin-Yang Sacred Land to be effective.

For example, after Zhang Xuezhou left the Sacred Land, he could still use the Tai-level Six Talismans. After lighting the first talisman, he could gather Spiritual Qi, and wearing it would also be of great benefit to his cultivation.

Zhang Xuezhou thought that the new emperor would like the Taijie Six Talismans and would often wear and keep them on his person.

The new emperor is weak, but he possesses the Red Empyrean Sword.

Cultivators as clueless and uninformed as Gongsun Gui are ultimately a minority. Major powers like the Immortal Court should already know that the new emperor possesses the Red Empyrean Sword.

Compared to the danger of testing one's sword, the Immortal Court, which rarely engages in direct combat, would likely not choose such a high-risk endeavor.

Zhang Xuezhou pondered the matter back and forth, concluding that the new emperor of Chang'an City could safeguard the Taijie Six Symbols.

He had been cultivating in the Yin-Yang Sacred Land for a long time, and his torches had long since gone out. After walking around in the dark, he had figured things out.

Zhang Xuezhou tightened his grip on the Taijie Six Talismans and continued walking down the mountain.

Behind Zhang Xuezhou, Jin Chang's body appeared in the darkness.

He was extremely satisfied with how he had handled things in a fit of temper, especially since Zhang Xuezhou hadn't lost the Tai Jie Six Talismans. This pleased him greatly, as he felt that Zhang Xuezhou had been forced to properly safeguard the Yin-Yang School's keepsakes under his coercion.

It's easy to place Technique Method marks on a person, but it's very difficult to place them on Law Treasure. Even if Jin Chang wanted Zhang Xuezhou to place a Technique Method mark on the Tai-rank Six Talismans, he had to first extinguish his own Technique Method mark before Zhang Xuezhou could control the Tai-rank Six Talismans. Many great immortals in the Immortal Court are Gao Qiang, but none of them are strong enough to remotely control Law Treasure.

The only risk of the Tai-level Six Talismans being revealed is that their appearance has been seen by the immortals. If they were to accidentally encounter spies from the Immortal Court who discover the truth, it would be a major problem.

Jin Chang wasn't overly worried about Zhang Xuezhou's safety. He wanted the Immortal Court's spies to happen to encounter Zhang Xuezhou taking the Tai-rank Six Talismans, then relay the message back to the Immortal Court, and then have the Immortal Court send someone to deal with Zhang Xuezhou. This process would take a long time, long enough that he should have already obtained the Realm Technique and even retrieved the Tai-rank Six Talismans to enter the Yin-Yang Sacred Land.

"That's it! How come my junior nephew can use a Tai-rank sixth-level talisman while I can't? Could it be that I need to gather Spiritual Qi to break through my cultivation level in order to unleash the power of this treasure!"

Jin Chang pondered for a long time in the darkness.

He ultimately stopped thinking about these troublesome matters. He had just escaped the Yin-Yang Sacred Land and the Immortal Court's gaze, and had also sent out the Tai-level Six Talismans. Jin Chang had little intention of bringing the treasure back for testing.

"That old codger Zhu Jiuyin goes into seclusion from time to time, only showing himself when there's a crisis in the Sacred Land or when the Xiong State clashes with the Great Han Dynasty. What should we do?"

Jin Chang didn't need to go to the Xieluosi River Holy Land to confirm; he knew perfectly well that Zhu Jiuyin hadn't opened the secret realm's gate at this time.

There are only a handful of possibilities for Zhu Jiuyin to emerge from seclusion.

He pondered the matter back and forth, his expression shifting between light and dark, before finally deciding on the direction of his journey towards Huainan.

He couldn't be bothered with Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding anymore, and his body drifted down the mountain in the darkness like the wind.
