King of Creation
Chapter 1282: Chapter 1267: The Grand Spirit Master’s Scheme
The mysterious fluctuation flickered and disappeared, and Ye Zhen’s form twisted like a beam of light, blending into the City Defense Grand Formation of Bozhou State City, constructed with the starlight of the heavens and the Power of Earth Vein.
A hundred breaths later, Ye Zhen appeared out of thin air like a wisp of air on top of a mountain several miles away from Bozhou City.
Looking at Bozhou City, which had been like a Heaven and Earth Net just a day ago, Ye Zhen incredulously pinched his own thigh hard—it was all real!
The Innate Five Elements Divine Escape is truly too....
Ye Zhen couldn’t describe the difference between the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape and the Five Elements Infinite Escape Technique, but he understood the fundamental difference between them.
If the Five Elements Infinite Escape Technique allowed practitioners to harness the Five Elements Power and freely travel among them, then the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape directly transformed the practitioner into a part of the Five Elements Power.
As long as there was Five Elements Spiritual Power present, no matter how complex and mysterious its composition was, one could merge into it.
Its profoundness could only be understood by those who experienced it firsthand; it was utterly inexpressible.
A few days ago, the City Defense Grand Formation of Bozhou City, which was like a fortress in front of the Five Elements Infinite Escape Technique, now seemed unguarded in front of Ye Zhen.
When Ye Zhen escaped, the City Defense Grand Formation didn’t even sense the slightest anomaly.
Watching the starlight of the heavens flashing above Bozhou State City from afar, and the countless figures searching within the City Defense Grand Formation, Ye Zhen moved his Divine Sense suddenly and threw down the Four-footed Snake A Chou, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit on his shoulder.
Then he fixed a murderous gaze on Four-footed Snake A Chou, "A Chou, tell me all the Divine Power Methods you know at once, don’t make me extract them by force!"
Seemingly responding to Ye Zhen’s call, a little demon in green appeared beside Ye Zhen, waving thousands of fine vine whips around A Chou, like tentacles, clearly expressing its intent.
The Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit was so scared by Ye Zhen’s action that it shivered and cried out innocently, "Lord, Lord Ye, I truly didn’t deceive you!
My true body is sealed, and I have memory loss, memory loss! I can’t recall many Divine Power Secret Techniques at all! If you could unseal the Mirage Dragon Pearl by two or three more stages, perhaps I could remember some Divine Power Methods."
Afraid that Ye Zhen wouldn’t believe it, A Chou hastily swore, "If I utter a single lie, may I be struck by five thunderbolts....."
Rumble!
A thunderous peal suddenly sounded from the distant mountains, resembling rolling thunder. Ye Zhen, the little demon, and A Chou all looked towards the distant mountains, where dark clouds roiled with unending thunderclaps, and torrential rain poured.
Turning back, Ye Zhen and the little demon stared at the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit A Chou with sinister eyes, and the little demon’s thousand vine whips began to dance close to A Chou’s forehead.
"A Chou, was that an oath?"
"Coincidence, Lord, it’s definitely a coincidence! Damn heaven, you gray bastard, dare to mess with me, **** your eighteen generations of female ancestors......" The Four-footed Snake placed its hands on its hips and cursed angrily at the overcast sky.
Finishing its cursing, seeing Ye Zhen’s unfriendly expression, Four-footed Snake A Chou almost burst into tears, "Lord, Lord Ye, I really didn’t deceive you, this Innate Five Elements Divine Escape, I only remembered it because I saw you perform a similar escape skill."
Hearing this, Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly lit up, "If I perform other cultivation techniques, might you recall some higher-level cultivation methods?"
"Well, theoretically, yes....." Four-footed Snake A Chou hesitated.
"Alright, just watch closely!"
Having said that, Ye Zhen picked up Four-footed Snake A Chou like the wind and found a secluded spot, demonstrating all the cultivation methods he had practiced one by one to Four-footed Snake A Chou.
From Sword Heart Enlightenment, Earth Primordial Palm Vein, Yimu Divine Skill, Black Dragon Legacy, Thunder Secret Technique of Fright, Impermanence Profound Fire Technique, and so on, anything Ye Zhen knew, he demonstrated them all to Four-footed Snake A Chou.
An hour later, a sweaty Ye Zhen looked intently at Four-footed Snake A Chou, "So, did you recall anything?"
The Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit A Chou hesitated for a moment, "Do you want the truth or a lie?"
"Nonsense, of course the truth!"
"The truth is, most of the methods you demonstrated are too trashy, so trashy that I don’t even have memories in that area!" A Chou said.
Ye Zhen’s face instantly turned an ugly shade of blue-black.
"However, your Black Dragon Legacy and Yimu Divine Skill, Lord Ye, were notable in my era, but, I don’t know them! I never practiced such things, even if they were notable, I wouldn’t know them!" The Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit said obsequiously, drawing closer.
"Oh, then how about the Impermanence Profound Fire Technique, what do you think?" In his disappointment, Ye Zhen asked proactively; the Impermanence Profound Fire Technique was his main cultivation method, and Ye Zhen wanted to know how good this cultivation technique actually was.
Four-footed Snake A Chou shook its head, "It seems there’s related memory, but no matter what, I can’t recall it, maybe because your execution is not there yet?"
According to the Earth Core Fire Commander, the Impermanence Profound Fire Technique was an ancient skill, extremely mysterious, and was one of those cultivation techniques that could advance infinitely, perhaps that is the reason A Chou couldn’t find the memory.
Exhaling deeply, Ye Zhen released all the greed gathered in his heart.
The Innate Five Elements Divine Escape given by A Chou was so mysterious that it ignited Ye Zhen’s greed, making him want countless similar Divine Power Secret Techniques.
After such a disappointment, he returned to a normal mindset.
The boiling Spirit Sea and the brilliantly shining Spirit Palace returned to calmness; in an instant, Ye Zhen felt a sense of enlightenment, feeling incredibly relaxed.
Feeling Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul and mood changes, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit A Chou looked at Ye Zhen with surprise, but then it grinned shyly, shamelessly approaching the gracefully poised little demon.
Even Ye Zhen didn’t know that today, his casual letting go caused countless benefits in the future.
"A Chou, remember, whether you see me perform any Divine Power Secret Technique in the future or see someone else perform one, if you remember anything, you must remember to tell me." Ye Zhen instructed.
The Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit eagerly nodded, "Definitely, definitely, is there a benefit?"
"A benefit, of course! If you fail to remember one thing within a year, then you’ll be closed back into the Mirage Dragon Pearl for a hundred days!"
Hearing this, A Chou instantly wailed.
The little demon and A Chou frolicked around like two children; A Chou was making a childlike attempt to please the little demon, the little demon had a child’s mindset but an extraordinary decisive means.
Ye Zhen didn’t comprehend, quietly watching Bozhou State City in the distance, seemingly lost in thought.
Logically, Ye Zhen had already safely escaped by now. In merely a day and a half, tens of thousands of travelers gathered outside Bozhou City. Ye Zhen reckoned that at most in two more days, the prohibition on the city would be lifted.
By then, Ye Zhen would only need a slight disguise to leave calmly.
Or perhaps, the nearest other ancient teleportation formation is a seven-day journey away, which should be enough time for Ye Zhen to return to Luoyi before the end of his break.
But at this time, another issue occupied Ye Zhen’s mind.
This Bozhou is in the Great Zhou Empire, located in the northwest, a lower-tier state, one of those remote and impoverished places in Great Zhou, and it is not even the fiefdom of Marquis Anling.
Yet, it was extremely coincidental that Marquis Anling was touring here, accompanied by thirty thousand elite soldiers front, middle, and back.
Thirty thousand elite troops aside, there just happened to be a Heavenly Temple Thunder Hall Great Spirit Master accompanying them with at least five hundred spirit masters in attendance.
Spirit Masters from the Heavenly Temple, who can meet with princes without needing to bow, hold a revered status, so why were so many gathered here?
A Great Spirit Master could stand on equal footing with a Prince of Political Affairs in the Great Zhou Empire, yet he appeared in this remote place?
Instinct!
Instinct told Ye Zhen that something was amiss; there must be a problem!
"Perhaps they are plotting something?"
The world is filled with various schemes every day, and Ye Zhen can’t manage them all. But first, Marquis Anling and the Great Spirit Master Weie Yu had just chased Ye Zhen like a rat scrambling everywhere.
Ye Zhen felt that not giving them a little trouble seemed unacceptable!
Moreover, anything that could tempt both Marquis Anling and Great Spirit Master Weie Yu, be it a person, object, or conspiracy, was definitely not simple.
In the past, once escaping, Ye Zhen would run as far as possible because, in the face of such presences, Ye Zhen had no qualifications to interfere.
It was akin to courting death.
But now, with the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape in hand, Ye Zhen felt that maybe he could cause some trouble for those two.
After all, there was still time, wasn’t there?
Having decided, Ye Zhen laughed heartily, casually grabbing the playful Little Demon and Achou, and his whole being dissipated silently into the air like a wisp of smoke.
In just one day, Ye Zhen had become incredibly adept at utilizing the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape.
Of course, mainly due to the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, Achou’s assistance.
Under normal circumstances, mastering this Innate Five Elements Divine Escape would take at least ten years, according to Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou, and a hundred years would be considered fast.
However, Achou imparted all his accumulated cultivation experience of countless years to Ye Zhen in one go. More importantly, due to the divine soul connection between Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou and Ye Zhen, Achou directly imparted his understanding of the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape to Ye Zhen in a peculiar manner.
Simply put, before Ye Zhen had even cultivated the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape, Achou had already provided him with an experience of it.
With all this assistance, it was no wonder Ye Zhen mastered the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape in one day.
Silently passing through the city defense grand formation of the capital of Bozhou State again, an indescribable excitement surged in Ye Zhen’s heart.
Crossing in and out was like moving through a land of no one.
Very quickly, after one escape move, Ye Zhen found the lodging of Marquis Anling, Ji Jia, and the Great Spirit Master Weie Yu. The two of them had directly occupied the State Governor Mansion of Bozhou.
Moreover, the two occupied the mansion with grand fanfare, driving everyone out of the State Governor Mansion in Bozhou. The State Governor was now in his own residence, attending to Marquis Anling Ji Jia and Great Spirit Master Weie Yu like a servant, with a face full of misery.
"Great Spirit Master, Marquis, Bozhou can’t continue to be sealed! There are already over a hundred thousand merchants and travelers gathered outside the city, not only aggrieved and incensed, but the three state cities connected to Bozhou’s ancient teleportation formation have also sent stern protests.
Over ten thousand martial artists have been stranded there, and if they can’t pass through soon, they will switch to other connections with different ancient teleportation formations!
The revenue from this ancient teleportation formation accounts for more than thirty percent of Bozhou’s income. If it really gets abandoned, Bozhou would struggle to survive..." The State Governor of Bozhou almost broke into tears.
"What’s there to fear?" Marquis Anling slowly sipped his tea, "With this marquis here, can anything go wrong? As for those merchants, anyone daring to make a scene, arrest and behead them!
A bunch of despicable scum, how dare they clamour?" Marquis Anling sneered disdainfully!
"Marquis, but...."
"No more buts! Have you gathered what this marquis ordered you to collect?" Marquis Anling impatiently asked.
At the mention of this, the Bozhou State Governor changed his demeanor, "Back to Marquis, soon, in three to five days it’ll be all ready!"
"Three to five days is too late! By tomorrow night, at the latest, it must be ready! At all costs!" The hitherto silent Great Spirit Master Weie Yu suddenly spoke.
"Tomorrow night..." The Bozhou State Governor showed a troubled expression.
Seeing this, Marquis Anling Ji Jia snorted coldly, "What the Great Spirit Master says, this marquis says the same. Just do as the Great Spirit Master says. If you don’t manage it well, this marquis will reassign you from this backwater Bozhou and find you a position in a High-Grade state.
If it’s not managed well, hmph! There are plenty of godforsaken places in Great Zhou!"
"Your subordinate understands!" The State Governor of Bozhou’s face transformed for a while, and gritting his teeth, he agreed and immediately departed.
Once the Bozhou State Governor left, the expression on Marquis Anling Ji Jia’s face changed, "Great Spirit Master, isn’t tomorrow night too hasty...."
Before Marquis Anling finished, Weie Yu gestured for silence, then sent a large number of spirit talismans flying, setting up at least a dozen barrier formations within the hall before speaking again.
"According to the Thunderclap Sacred Eye’s observation on the Thunderclap Sacred Peak, tomorrow night will be the best moment to take that treasure, tomorrow night is when that creature will be at its weakest.
Missing tomorrow night, even this seat does not have full confidence in obtaining that treasure!" said Weie Yu.
Marquis Anling slowly nodded, "Disciple understands, but if the setup is too hasty, and the commotion too great, I fear...."
"Which is why you must take all measures, spare no expense! For this task, I doubt Bozhou’s State Governor can handle it alone, it’s best to have your army in plain clothes assist!" instructed Weie Yu.
Marquis Anling hesitated, but Weie Yu spoke again, "Ji Jia, you must understand that once wielding that treasure, my position in the Heavenly Temple will greatly rise, becoming a Divine Master is not out of reach.
At that time, your status will also rise accordingly! And with parts from that creature, your combat power and status will absolutely skyrocket, what more do you hesitate for?"
"Disciple knows what to do now!" Marquis Anling’s eyes suddenly filled with unwavering determination!
