Chapter 184: Three Hundred Years of Sword Sharpening – The Most Crucial Trump Card (12.4k)_3
This was a choice, a choice to follow the trend of the times, and because of this, he would become a part of this trend.
Yu Ziqing set up a stone table and benches, sitting across from Zhong Shouzheng. The two of them sat there in the wilderness, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.
In the distance, the massive nine-layer archway sparkled brilliantly. The longer it stood, the more the depth and weight of its existance became apparent, even Yu Ziqing began to sense that the Prefectural Governor Seal in his hand seemed to grow stronger.
A day later, in the sky above, streams of tunneling light flew towards their direction.
Yu Ziqing raised his head, watching those lights as he slowly stood up.
"They're here."
"Are you certain, it's that dead eunuch? Just coming to kill you?"
"Killing me is just one objective. He wants to acquire the Dadui Jade Seal to gain the upper hand.
The control of Dadui's Sealing rested completely with me, the Dadui Jade Seal was his only choice.
If he couldn't acquire it, he would become an enemy to the whole world, and under the grand trend, everyone would step on him.
If he got it, he would still have a chance to breathe.
Killing me, to preserve his incarnation, was only a superficial goal."
Yu Ziqing, his expression calm, looked up at the streams of tunneling light, sighing sincerely.
"He truly is a talent. I've seen the Langya Incarnation Technique.
To cultivate this Evil Skill to such a Realm isn't something anyone can achieve.
He's already lost a total of six Ninth-Tier incarnations. Yet, despite being obstructed, he still had a Ninth-Tier incarnation reach here.
Even more below the Ninth Tier, if a few more peaceful centuries passed, he truly had hopes of reaching the Tenth Tier."
Streams of tunneling light flew closer. The Compass in Yu Ziqing's hand, which had been in an active state, already emitted a radiance, its needle rapidly spinning.
Apart from the chief director's incarnation, at this time, probably no one else could dare venture here so recklessly.
It seemed the chief director wasn't planning on playing pretend anymore.
A turbulent aura unfurled in the sky.
Few came from Daqian's side, even fewer from Dazhen, most were from Dali.
Their numbers were more than Yu Ziqing had expected.
Among them were dozens, who appeared not to be young, and were not incarnations, probably the dong chang's Fanzi.
The rest, numbering over two hundred, none were below the Seventh Tier.
Most were Seventh or Eighth Tiers, and there were four Ninth Tiers.
The dong chang's Fanzi, standing together, exuded an aura of cold and obscure scent, an unmistakable Yin Yang aura emerging.
And the over two hundred others crowded together, forming an entourage for the four Ninth Tiers.
Ji Bochang made no effort to conceal himself, he stepped loftily through the air from the rear of the crowd.
Yu Ziqing sighed quietly.
The number of incarnations far exceeded his anticipations, as did the Ninth Tiers.
Moreover, Yu Ziqing reckoned, in recent days, there might have been even more incarnations.
Because Ji Bochang's aura had grown stronger again.
Probably all those who had received the message and attempted to sever the link between the incarnations had been secretly disposed of by him.
The remaining incarnations, even knowing they were incarnations capable of severing this link, bore no such intention.
Until reaching the Ninth Tier, allowing them to awaken their free will truly was difficult.
The dong chang's Fanzi who had come to probe for information yesterday was proof.
He didn't even know he was an incarnation, and when he found out, he bore no rebellion.
Thus, Yu Ziqing really didn't want to wait, nor give the chief director time.
As Ji Bochang strode forward, streams of scintillation appeared upon his incarnations with weaknesses.
The runes deep within their Divine Souls, containing all their life's cultivation, flowed into Ji Bochang's body.
Within merely three breaths, Ji Bochang's aura soared directly from the Eighth-Tier Peak to the Ninth Tier.
Ji Bochang stepped to the forefront of their ranks, looked at Yu Ziqing with a smile, sighing deeply, full of commendation.
"I once thought there must be a hidden expert within Jinlan Mountain, but unknowingly, it turned out to be all you.
To corner me into coming forth, forcible action was obligatory, you have much to be proud of.
Now, I have come in person, personally to act, are you satisfied?"
"Aside from one question, everything else I'm satisfied with."
"Ask it."
"I've seen you with my own eyes and never noticed you were a eunuch. Is there truly a way for your... to regrow?"
Yu Ziqing asked earnestly; he indeed was curious.
It was said that limb regeneration wasn't difficult, as some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could do it, but for a eunuch, he had never heard of such a case.
How was this man, a eunuch, able to disguise himself as not being one?
Ji Bochang's face instantly grew cold.
Him, a eunuch, most hated others mentioning he was a eunuch. Though the meaning was the same, the nature was different.
"It seems I have overestimated you. To think even now, you still indulge in verbal humiliation."
Yu Ziqing sighed softly, deciding not to explain, although he truly hadn't meant to be insulting, he genuinely was only curious.
Curious why eunuchs couldn't regenerate, exactly what method was used to achieve this.
If possible, could he learn this Dharma Method or technique for other reasons, such as preventing someone from using Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to recover after their hand was cut?
Such a permanent damage Dharma Method would be exceedingly powerful.
At this moment, one by one, streams of tunneling light descended from the sky.
The Tong Family Master, Tong Weishun, the Yin Yang Sect Master, Liao Yilai, the Devil Extermination Sect Master, Peng Song, and the Old Eunuch whose Yang God's recovery hadn't completed, all appeared.
Moreover, besides those strong individuals, there were experts brought by the two sects and family.
