"Xu Xiaoshou!"
Huang Quan's glance was slightly startled; he recognized the young man who had a history of grievances with Yan Wang.
Why was he here too?
No, the question should be, how did he manage to enter the Gujin Wangyou Lou uninvited?
The Gujin Wangyou Lou was truly difficult to enter!
He, Huang Quan, and Wangze Shengdi were "invited" by Kong Yuhen to even see this three-story pavilion.
Other people, throughout their entire lives, might not even learn the five characters "Gujin Wangyou Lou."
For an ancestral god like Chui Yin, being able to enter this building on his own made sense.
Could Xu Xiaoshou also do it?
"He's clearly only..."
Huang Quan's heart was blocked, unsure of what to think.
Yes, he was clearly only at the mere Zhanchu Realm, but his combat power could absolutely not be measured by Zhanchu.
This was evident from the several times he had confronted Yue Gongli earlier, and even as early as Void Island.
But facts were facts, and acceptance was still difficult.
Once upon a time, Huang Quan, as the head of Yan Wang, had extended an olive branch to this rising young man.
But because this young man was still too green, he didn't personally come, only sending a subordinate with a voice recording orb to convey the message.
Who would have thought that this fellow, in such a short time, was about to surpass him!
Regret was useless now. Xu Xiaoshou's main target was not even himself.
Huang Quan looked around the suddenly more crowded small room a few times, shrinking himself into a corner.
A storm was brewing.
This Gujin Wangyou Lou would certainly not let people forget their worries today!
"That kid from the Four Divine Pillars?"
On the other side, Wangze Shengdi scrutinized him for a long time before recognizing the young man.
Yes, he actually didn't remember much of "Xu Xiaoshou"'s story. What left a deep impression on him was...
Only "Four Divine Pillars"!
Only what this young man represented behind him: Bai Mai San Zu, Mo Di Heilong, and other Shengdi and demon beasts!
At most, add a certain eight-fingered cripple.
To a Shengdi, even a Half-Saint was hard to notice, let alone a mere young man?
There were so many geniuses among the Ten Honored Ones, and half of them died on the path of cultivation.
Xu Xiaoshou had just reached the Zhanchu Realm, even if he had shown an unyielding will when facing Chui Yin Xie Shen in the Xinghe Shenting previously.
Ba Zun'an had already fallen halfway.
How could he transcend?
If one aspect was too strong, it meant that all other aspects were weak, because a person's time was limited and they couldn't be without flaws!
With just a glance, Wangze Shengdi skipped over Xu Xiaoshou and looked at another...
Stranger!
Truly a stranger.
Wangze Shengdi's impression was that there was no such person on Sheng Shen Continent.
From the little external footage Kong Yuhen had provided earlier, wasn't it the kid from Qian Shi Dao Clan who was with Xu Xiaoshou in the Xinghe Shenting? Did he die?
"Greetings, Wangze Shengdi."
Dao Qiongcang, occupying Cao Er Zhu's body, with his face altered to not resemble Er Zhu, but rather imbued with a touch of Dao Clan's charming elegance, no sooner appeared than he ignored everyone else, lightly nodding to Wangze Shengdi.
His attitude was not particularly respectful, and while his eyes showed surprise, a peculiar smile played at the corner of his lips.
It was very subtle.
No one noticed how unusual it was to bow to a Shengdi first in front of Chui Yin, an ancestral god.
—Because at this moment, Chui Yin's presence was greatly diluted, as if he didn't exist in this space.
Except for Xu Xiaoshou!
"Are they enemies?"
Xu Xiaoshou had this thought as soon as his perception noticed the flamboyant old Daoist's expression.
Too familiar.
Dao Qiongcang's expression before he tricked someone.
Or rather, the "amused" expression he would only show to those who were not his "friends."
Moreover, the two of them had been outside for half a day, thoroughly searching the three levels of the Divine Remains but couldn't find anyone.
The suddenly mentioned Gujin Wangyou Lou was originally intended to find Chui Yin.
Yet, upon arriving here, Dao Qiongcang focused his main target on this Shengdi.
Too abnormal!
"Rao Wangze..."
Xu Xiaoshou murmured silently, examining this Shengdi.
Yes, without Dao Qiongcang's words, he wouldn't have known that this middle-aged man in green was the true body of the Shengdi's spiritual avatar he had confronted on Void Island.
What grudge?
Not very clear...
Xu Xiaoshou racked his brain, only recalling the minor incident when Dao Qiongcang played with Tianji arts in his youth, but because he played too monstrously, he was suppressed by the Five Great Shengdi Families.
Was that the grudge?
Having one's dream crushed in youth could be a big or small matter.
Some people might laugh it off when they think about it later.
Others might bury their true feelings deep in their hearts, waiting for the moment to astonish the world.
Dao Qiongcang...
Xu Xiaoshou glanced at this guy.
He had never given up on his Great Dao.
He merely moved his overt research underground, hiding most of his strength from the Shengdi Families—even though he was from a Shengdi Family!
"Things are getting interesting..."
Xu Xiaoshou's mind became active.
Because from this perspective, this was definitely not a small matter, but a "struggle of the Great Dao"!
"I could have ascended to the heavens with Tianji before I was eighteen, but because of you five old stubborns, you suppressed me for thirty years..."
"Thirty years!"
"If you gave birth to me but didn't use me, why did you give birth to me?"
"Do you know how I've spent these thirty years!"
"Rao Wangze..."
"Hahahaha, Rao! Wang! Ze!"
Xu Xiaoshou's mind could already voice Dao Qiongcang's thoughts, screaming wildly. He wasn't sure if his guess was accurate, but if Dao Qiongcang wanted to fight...
Without a doubt, this was the best chance to bury a Shengdi!
Because anyone who entered the Divine Remains, even a Shengdi, seemed to only be able to enter in their true body!
"Drip."
A soft sound came from his mind.
Xu Xiaoshou received a "Tianji Projection" message.
When searching for Chui Yin outside the Gujin Wangyou Lou, Dao Qiongcang had suggested that Chui Yin could intercept telepathic messages, so he gave Xu Xiaoshou a ring.
That was a Tianji Ring, similar to the special communicators used by Tianzu members, but improved. It could transmit messages secretly through Tianji arts and secret language.
Xu Xiaoshou, however, didn't trust Dao Qiongcang and refused his ring.
But communication was indeed necessary, so the two met halfway.
Dao Qiongcang provided the secret language and the method for making the Tianji Ring.
Xu Xiaoshou, after learning it through weaving techniques, did not make the ring. Instead, he improved the Tianji Ring's blueprint and presented it in a virtual thought form.
Always on guard against the Great God Descent technique.
Now, they had an exclusive communication channel—by converting "Tianji" to "Weaving" or "Weaving" to "Tianji."
There was no fixed medium such as a ring or communication orb. With a thought, they could send information or transmit messages.
Even if intercepted, it would just be a jumble of garbled code that outsiders of "Tianji Arts/Weaving Arts" couldn't understand.
A telepathic understanding.
They called this "Lingxi Art," their exclusive secret, not to be spoken of to outsiders.
"Receive."
With a silent thought, Lingxi Art finished receiving Dao Qiongcang's remote projection, and Xu Xiaoshou's mind received a long string of information.
He was utterly shocked!
Wangze Shengdi Combat Power Details · Simple Version · Brief Version · Ultimate Version · Ultimate Complete Version · Not a Detailed Explanation · Xu Xiaoshou Exclusive Version
Attack: ☆☆☆☆☆Speed: ☆☆☆☆☆Defense: ☆☆☆☆☆Combat Awareness: ☆☆☆
Rao Wangze: Wind elemental, Fifth Stage Spirit Refinement Shengdi
Special Treasures: Fengli Jing (Signature move, spiritual technique sealed, spiritual technique instant cast), Canglong Yinyue Tu (Terrifying amplification, equivalent to Wind Elemental Dao Intent), Shengzu Shike (Seems to really be able to summon Shengzu, only family patriarchs have it, I don't), Benyuan Zhenjie (Don't know what it is, even I don't know this, so be wary), Unknown Eye (You didn't misread, Lei Clan's pupil)
Remnant Mark Artifacts: Bai Ye Yu Shan (Initial foray into Yin-Yang Dao with day and night), Da Guai Zhong Gu (Traps people), Xiang Dao Qiang (Attack, but he usually uses it for support), Bie Xian Kun (Traps people), Ti Si Cao Ou (Extra life), Tianjie Shi (Seems to be a corner of the Heavenly Realm)
Comprehended Daos: Wind (main cultivation), Life and Death, Yin and Yang, Restrictions, Time, Space, Destiny (these are auxiliary cultivations)
Basic Combat Power Evaluation: Upper-middle. Originally, his talent capped at Half-Saint, but his intellect was good. He outfought weaker peers, thus relying on family resources to become a Fifth Stage Shengdi. He is considered a lower-tier patriarch among the Wu Rao Emperor Realm.
Combat Power Amplification Evaluation: High-stage Shengdi, approaching Ancestral God. Including the various treasures mentioned above, with full burst, killing a Diyi Shengzhu is not a problem.
Note 1: What you are about to face is not a Shengdi spiritual avatar, but the true body of a patriarch from one of the Five Great Shengdi Families.
Note 2: The above are just things you need to specifically remember. He definitely has other trump cards. Please believe in the depth of a Shengdi Family patriarch.
Note 3: Don't think about replying to me and bypassing this person to find Chui Yin. You can't bypass him. See "Weaknesses" below for details.
Weakness 1: Middle-stage Shengdi. Cannot comprehend Ancestral Source Power himself. Ancestral Power is borrowed and can be fought head-on.
Weakness 2: Middle-stage Shengdi. This is a severe weakness. Pay attention to timing and watch for openings when he takes out treasures.
Weakness 3: Middle-stage Shengdi. He most likely cannot resist Chui Yin's guidance and is already His shield, unless he uses 'Shengzu Shike'.
Killing Suggestion 1: I will lead the attack, you support me. You can try to use your Dao of Intent to mess with the guidance on him, creating opportunities for me. But be careful not to provoke Chui Yin; let Him hide first.
Killing Suggestion 2: Always be wary of Chui Yin possessing.
Extra Mark (Red): If we don't kill Wangze Shengdi here, we both die when we return to Sheng Shen Continent. If we kill him here, I will use this as a lever to disrupt the balance between the other four Great Shengdi Families. They won't have time to look for the murderers.
Silence.
That was the Gujin Wangyou Lou tonight.
It took less than an instant to read through this "briefing" with spiritual念, but to digest the amount of information contained within...
"Too terrifying!"
Xu Xiaoshou's first shock was that Wangze Shengdi was incredibly rich, even richer than Yue Gongli, whom Li Fugui had described.
A mere middle-stage Shengdi, relying on external power accumulation, could achieve such combat power?
This was truly rare in the world!
In contrast, he himself, after fighting for so long, still looked like a bumpkin who had just emerged from a slum.
"Mama, I've opened my eyes..."
His second shock was at the briefing itself, sent by Dao Qiongcang.
"Your Tianji art is too 'advanced'!"
"Honestly, you also have a system, right? Called the 'Tianji System'?"
The combat power star ratings, all the notes and analyses, even the flaws and weaknesses.
"He's armed to the teeth."
Some things, their functions, even you yourself don't know.
"Yet you collected it all?"
"How long have you been dormant?"
"And what have you been doing under Wangze Shengdi's nose?"
"To dig out information so deeply and come to so many definitive combat conclusions!"
"My Dao, I will always be your good friend. Can you send me a copy of 'Xu Xiaoshou Combat Power Details · Not a Brief Version,' delete this data from your Tianji System, and also include a 'Dao Qiongcang · Weakness Details'?"
"I can pay you a friendship fee..."
Xu Xiaoshou's third shock was Dao Qiongcang's decisiveness.
He had only briefly mused that this flamboyant old Daoist, upon seeing Wangze Shengdi, had such an expression, wondering if there was a grudge.
The other party had already sent an invitation from death, throwing the data into his mind.
"Cannot refuse!"
Yes, it was simply impossible to refuse.
Not only had Dao Qiongcang made it very clear in his extra notes that this was the best chance to bury Rao Wangze.
Xu Xiaoshou himself also didn't believe that, besides now, when he returned to Sheng Shen Continent, he would have any other way to approach a lofty Shengdi, let alone kill him.
The only thing on his mind was...
"As long as I shatter the Shengdi rank and grasp it in my hand, there will be no more Rao Wangze in this world!"
A glance.
Xu Xiaoshou, after reading the "Details," glanced to the side.
Dao Qiongcang's smile had just barely formed on his lips, not yet faded, and he lightly nodded in response.
"Three..."
A telepathic understanding.
"Two..."
Both received the other's thoughts.
"One..."
In unison:
"Do it!"
"This is..."
Wangze Shengdi had just reached out his hand towards the burly young man.
Was he a Spirit Refiner?
But what he held was an Overlord?
Was he a friend of the Ancient Martial God?
His eyes and smile, the feeling they gave, were very similar to the Dao kid from Qian Shi Di Jing. Did he also cultivate Tianji arts?
For some reason, Wangze Shengdi felt that he was the master of this Gujin Wangyou Lou.
Because the young man holding the Overlord did not reveal his identity, he looked at Kong Yuhen, trying to get an answer from the true owner.
Just as he turned his head to look elsewhere...
"Boom!"
At the wooden doorway, a heavy sound suddenly erupted.
Huang Quan's expression changed, fearing the attack was for him. He immediately did a lazy donkey roll, instantly teleporting to the staircase leading to the second floor.
Chui Yin was greatly astonished. His human form dissipated, turning into a purple mist that diffused to the cramped ceiling of the pavilion, trying his best to dilute his presence.
Both had the same thought:
These two mad dogs actually dared to fight in the Gujin Wangyou Lou?
"Stop!"
The first to speak was not Wangze Shengdi, but Kong Yuhen.
In his pavilion, only true feelings were expressed, and only worries were forgotten... but it never said that expressing true feelings involved violence, or that forgetting worries meant eliminating the worries themselves.
Chui Yin came to this building and gave him face.
You two, relying on Xu Xiaoshou having met me a few times and being considered friends, are you disregarding the rules and showing no respect?
Kong Yuhen had not yet made a move.
Xu Xiaoshou had already appeared in front of him with a mischievous smile, pulling out a translucent scepter...
What did that mean?
Kong Yuhen's eyes suddenly widened.
Before it happened, he felt an inexplicable absurdity.
"Give my Dao Bro some face, it was him who told me to hit you, so blame him!"
As Xu Xiaoshou spoke, he gripped the Shi Zu Ying Zhang and forcefully slammed it into the crown of the previous wielder of the Shi Zu Ying Zhang's head.
"Time, fix!"
"Dao Fan Tian Gang!"
"This is simply Dao Fan Tian Gang!"
Wangze Shengdi, who had just turned his gaze towards Kong Yuhen and witnessed such an absurd scene, was completely dumbfounded.
From the records of the ancestors in the Wu Rao Emperor Realm...
From Chui Yin's attitude towards Kong Yuhen...
He, Rao Wangze, even suspected that Kong Yuhen was Shi Zu himself!
And you!
Xu Xiaoshou!
How dare you use a scepter belonging to Shi Zu to strike the head of this being suspected to be Shi Zu?
The "Time Freeze" move clearly only froze Kong Yuhen's time and his movements.
Wangze Shengdi, standing to the side, felt like he was also hard-controlled.
Something was wrong.
Was there something amiss?
He suddenly thought, since someone truly dared to make a move in this Gujin Wangyou Lou, yet only chose to briefly control the owner of the building...
Then he must be providing support.
The real main attacker was someone else!
And the one truly meant to be hit must also be someone else!
"Who is it?"
Wangze Shengdi's peripheral vision suddenly caught a purple lightning bolt, as if it was heading towards someone beside him?
He instinctively activated his protective圣力 while turning his head to investigate.
He then saw the guy holding the Overlord, who had no grudge against him, now wide-eyed with fury, bringing a staff down on his head.
"Is there someone behind me?"
Wangze Shengdi felt no killing intent whatsoever.
He wanted to avoid the direct confrontation, leaving the space to those audacious fellows who were fighting in the Gujin Wangyou Lou.
To the side.
Just this slight turn.
When he saw the Overlord also turning slightly, Wangze Shengdi finally realized that the opponent was himself!
He was furious!
But before the Overlord even approached, the space around him twisted and compressed. He roared in anger, but before the sound could fully escape his lips, his vision went black:
"Wang Chang..."
