Outside, the Six Sects are having a eting, Lu Ning is coveting his body, and everyone around him is a bad person, but Zhang Ze is unaware of these things.
But none of this matters for now, because Zhang Ze’s primary task is to deceive that adorable Jade Spirit Earth Immortal.
Zhang Ze has always believed that deceiving people is a form of performance art that should have a sense of ritual and beauty.
It requires wholehearted dedication, not just holding a phone and saying, "Hello, hello, your bank card has been frozen..."
That kind of wide-net fraud thod is too formulaic.
It’s useless against smart people; if you want to deceive smart people, you have to make them deceive themselves.
And to do that, you need to offer them a condition they can’t refuse, so they’ll jump into the pit themselves and find their own reasons.
"Jade Spirit Earth Immortal, you wouldn’t want your Innate Tao Embryo to fall into my hands, right."
Zhang Ze crouched behind the half Star Disc, one hand on the wall, speaking to the Jade Spirit Earth Immortal.
A faint red light glowed where his hand touched the wall, exuding a familiar aura to the Jade Spirit Earth Immortal.
It was very similar to the fluctuations when he refined this Innate Tao Embryo.
"How did you do it?"
"Are we close? Why should I tell you?" Zhang Ze’s hand glowed even brighter.
The Jade Spirit Earth Immortal couldn’t understand how Zhang Ze discovered the thod to refine this Tao Embryo in such a short ti.
Was it that person called Li Yu? Impossible, he couldn’t know this; did Zhang Ze recover this part of the mory when the broken disc fused with ?
Very possible!
"What do you want?" The Jade Spirit Earth Immortal rose from the altar and took a step toward Zhang Ze.
"The way you put it, of course, it would be for you to surrender. You beco my little brother, and after I refine this Innate Tao Embryo, I’ll take you to live the high life." Zhang Ze poked his head out again from behind the half Star Disc and said.
The Jade Spirit Earth Immortal’s mind buzzed; this kind of talk should be what he says, not Zhang Ze.
Moreover, why did this person say it so crudely, with no temperant of a master at all?
Truly annoying.
Even though he still has doubts in his heart, just....
"Then if I say I surrender now, would you believe ?" asked the Jade Spirit Earth Immortal.
"I wouldn’t." Zhang Ze shook his head.
"Then what would make you believe?" The Jade Spirit Earth Immortal took another step forward.
"You get inside this thing, then I’ll tie you up, fair enough." Zhang Ze threw the small piece of the Star Disc that was shed off by the half Star Disc on the ground.
"Daydreaming!" The Jade Spirit Earth Immortal got angry just at the sight of the disc now.
"Judging by the ti, it’s actually nightti outside now." Zhang Ze still had a cheerful look.
While saying these pointless things, the two seed to consciously approach each other, until they reached a subtle distance.
Zhang Ze drew his sword, the Jade Spirit Earth Immortal threw a punch.
...
Ten minutes later.
A statue of the Great Mother Goddess sat on a patch of grass, feeling the wind around it, sucking its fingers, and gazing up at the starry sky.
This scene was sothing it had seen simulated in the nursery of the Profound Identification Treasure Mirror, but experiencing it firsthand was a different feeling.
As the Jade Spirit Earth Immortal took the Innate Tao Embryo of the Great Mother Goddess away, the connection between this statue and the Innate Tao Embryo grew increasingly weaker.
Until that connection was completely severed, it stopped moving, and with the night wind blowing past, it beca an ordinary statue that could get wet from rain and eroded by the wind.
Just like those bizarre giant stones in Wind Chi City.
Zhang Ze stood beside the statue and sighed.
"Why did you insist on coming out?"
The half Star Disc was also a bit dazed, controlling the Star Crown, calculating the stars above, both familiar and unfamiliar.
After tens of thousands of years, the starry sky overhead was no different from back then.
"Why did he let us out?" the half Star Disc still couldn’t quite believe it.
Not long ago, they just had another fight, and the result was a draw, yet that Jade Spirit Earth Immortal seed scared.
He directly proposed negotiation, and actually let them out.
Not only let them out but didn’t go for the kill, instead, he just ran away.
"Because he misunderstood that I could really refine that Innate Tao Embryo, and he realized he still couldn’t kill ."
"So the result is obvious, no matter what happens in the end, whether the Innate Tao Embryo is split evenly between and him, or he takes most and I take little, whether he can kill in the end, he’s sure to lose."
"So it’s better not to fight at all, let’s just break up peacefully."
Zhang Ze shook his head, as if he felt he hadn’t played enough.
"So, how did you get the thod to refine the Innate Tao Embryo? Even I didn’t know about that." The half Star Disc was puzzled.
"You’ve been sacrificing yourself all these years, but the Celestial Sect wasn’t doing nothing; Senior Sister Lu Ning taught ."
As soon as it was confird that Zhang Ze was sucked into the Innate Tao Embryo, the Celestial Sect started working nonstop, finding all the relevant information, and then the Celestial Sect Leader, with a wave of his hand, gave all this information to Lu Ning, who was acting as an operator near the Golden Core.
Preparing to let her, this latecor, occupy a territory in the Asura Scene, no matter what, she had to gain so favor.
The thod for emitting red light from the hand was what Lu Ning taught Zhang Ze, although the system also contributed to this, but there was no need to tell the disc about that.
"Aren’t they afraid we’ll relay the ssage?" The half Star Disc remained silent for a mont and then asked.
"Who knows, maybe he’s confident in that Innate Tao Embryo. After all, so many years have passed, and the Celestial Sect still hasn’t found his trace.
"Gamblers always find ways to convince themselves; in his eyes, that Innate Tao Embryo ans everything. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have abandoned his earthly body to dive into the idol in the sacrificial field."
"Moreover, if this doesn’t work, I have other tricks up my sleeve. Besides, I’m in no rush." Zhang Ze shrugged.
"So we’re just letting him go?"
"Of course not, I... let’s talk about it later, soone’s coming to et us."
...
In the night sky, Miss Lu Ning was leading dozens of Celestial Sect disciples flying towards them on the aurora.
Looking at the little shadow standing beside the idol on the ground, she was excited, yet she still maintained her grace and deanor.
She was absolutely confident in her noble air outside the little dark room, and not only that, she felt she was in a rather advantageous position at the mont.
And that is, she’s up in the sky.
What does this signify? It signifies that she is a heavenly descent.
No worries, certain victory, a perfect start, right now.
However, soone else descended faster.
Tang rode his fully customized Wind Traveling Ship, cutting in front of Lu Ning, drawing a beautiful arc as he fell like a teor before Zhang Ze.
Then, with a classic parking maneuver, he drifted in front of Zhang Ze and gave him a thumbs-up.
Junior Sister jumped out from the back seat, directly into Zhang Ze’s arms.
Lu Ning, "..."
Why am I here?
"Senior Sister, should we go down?" a Junior Sister asked coldly.
"Let’s wait here for a while, our aurora perfectly sets the mood."
Senior Brother Xie, who had his salary deducted for a hundred years for letting the Innate Tao Embryo escape due to negligence forty years ago, said.
Lu Ning turned back and gave him a cold look.
Senior Brother Xie also returned his Junior Sister a cold thumbs-up, indicating there’s no need to praise him; he’s just that emotionally intelligent.
In short, thanks to the efforts of her teammates, the heavenly fairy turned into a colorful ambiance light.
On the grass, after the two were done being affectionate, the half Star Disc nudged Zhang Ze, said uncomfortably.
"Hey, you haven’t said, how are we going to track that Innate Tao Embryo?"
"I left my Golden Core there, using it you can track his location."
At that mont, inside that Innate Tao Embryo, Zhang Ze’s Golden Core was tied next to a small walnut and stuffed into an unnoticed corner.
"?" Half Star Disc was puzzled, "Wouldn’t Human Race cultivators die without a Golden Core?"
"It’s fine, I’ve got plenty, Junior Sister." Zhang Ze hugged Chen Qin, gestured with his hand.
Chen Qin imdiately took out that Sword Sect Golden Core of Zhang Ze’s that she always kept beside her.
Zhang Ze took it and then put it back into his own body.
"You have... three?" Half Star Disc was bewildered.
"I have four now; who knows about the future." Zhang Ze replied.
"?" Half Star Disc was still puzzled, just like Zhang Ze didn’t understand how he could shed his shell.
...
Ling State, adjacent to the central continent’s wasteland.
Xiaoxue squatted on the ground, yawned as she gazed at the surroundings.
She didn’t like it here; it was too desolate, a desolation that couldn’t be reversed by human power.
The problem lay in that shattered central continent. Unless that dead land was sorted out, this place would remain desolate.
And the reason Xiaoxue was squatting here doing nothing was that she sensed the aura of the Sword Sect’s one while passing by Wind Chi City.
So Xiaoxue planned to randomly find a place to slack off for a while.
After all, combining her two trees wouldn’t be enough to handle that woman’s one hand.
Since she’s here, it shouldn’t be any of her business anymore.
"No fragrant flowers, no tall trees~, I am a little grass nobody knows~"
Hugging her knees, humming a little tune, and dozing off, Xiaoxue closed her eyes, concealing her aura as if she were indeed a little grass.
While she was dozing, the ground beneath her feet started to change.
The earth bulged, the head of that Innate Tao Embryo broke through the ground, followed by its arms and finally half its body.
Its state seed off.
"Ants... I will kill you all..."
The Jade Spirit Earth Immortal, who was supposed to have absconded with the Innate Tao Embryo, for so reason, suddenly appeared.
The Innate Tao Embryo raised its hand to strike Xiaoxue, who had disguised herself as a tiny ant.
"What the heck is this?"
Awoken by the commotion, Xiaoxue was a bit annoyed. She stood up, caught the massive hand single-handedly, then with a swing of her arm pulled the Innate Tao Embryo from the ground, slamming it heavily onto the ground...
However, that Innate Tao Embryo once again underwent a change.
