Chapter 306 Divine Child! War!

Zhang Yuanzhu's smile faded, and he stopped in his tracks.

Tower~
He turned around and faced directly backward.

On the street paved with black stone, a man in purple robes stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering like a god descending to earth. He looked to be only in his twenties, with eyes as bright as stars.

The man in purple robes blended seamlessly with heaven and earth, harmonizing with his surroundings, giving one a sense of following the natural way and the unity of man and nature.

Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes were deep, his pupils swirling like the dark sun.

"What's the matter?"

Like a thunderous roar, the surrounding air exploded in an instant, creating a rolling wave of air that swept across the vast wilderness.

The surrounding cultivators coughed up blood and retreated, their expressions filled with horror.

Just two words, yet they weighed an unbearable weight on them, as if their bodies were being torn apart.

"I have long heard of your deeds, fellow Daoist, and have come to meet you."

The man in purple smiled and spoke softly, like a gentle spring breeze.

Amidst laughter and conversation, the dust settled, and the roar subsided into silence.

"If it won't disturb you, fellow Daoist, we might as well go into the market together. I've heard that there are many interesting spiritual items there."

The man in purple robes spoke again, extending an invitation.

Zhang Yuanzhu grinned, his deep-set eyes scrutinizing the man before him.

The Golden Crow's Cry Technique has been accepted; that's interesting.

The young man placed his palm on the long ruler, turned around, and walked towards Qingyun Market.

“I’m really looking forward to having the temple disciples as guides.”

Chu Tianyi remained calm, stepped forward, and followed the young man's pace.

The two walked side by side and entered the market together.

After the two completely disappeared from the street, the entire street erupted in excitement.

"This is Zhang Yuanzhu, the seventh person of Immortal Soldier Valley. He is too powerful. He is only at the second level of Foundation Establishment. Just two words are enough to make my spiritual sense feel like it is being torn apart."

An old man was incredulous; his aura was waning, yet he still exuded the unique aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Who is that disciple of Wuliang Palace? His blood and qi are surging, and his vitality is vigorous. He must be young, but I have never seen him before. How could he face Zhang Yuanzhu directly?"

“A divine child! Only a divine child from the temple lineage could possess such grace and be able to contend with that person.”

"It's not about confrontation; the Divine Child's realm seems to be even higher."

Zhang Yuanzhu naturally heard the commotion outside the market.

He lightly stroked the long ruler with his palm, glancing at the shops on both sides of the street as he chuckled softly:
"The Divine Child of Boundless Palace, this is the first time I've met him!"

“Brother Zhang is powerful and fierce, his blood stains the Qian and Yuan realms, he traverses the Demon Land, sweeping away all enemies along the way, his style is naturally far superior to mine.”

Chu Tianyi smiled as before, tacitly acknowledging the identity of the Divine Child. He let his arms hang down, feeling the young man's domineering aura.

It was as if one were following a bolt of lightning, its majestic power almost impossible to look directly at.

Before meeting the young man, I had repeatedly overestimated him, but when I actually faced him, I found that I had underestimated him.

The young man in the purple robe raised his arm and pointed to the shop next to him.

"The Thousand Treasures Pavilion contains many interesting spiritual items; fellow Daoist, you should take a look."

Zhang Yuanzhu's gaze remained calm as he glanced at the man in purple robes and shook his head.

The two then continued on their way, and at each shop they visited, Chu Tianyi would give a brief introduction, acting like a true guide.

Zhang Yuanzhu and Chu Tianyi were in a harmonious atmosphere, occasionally discussing scriptures and doctrines as if no one else was around, and sometimes stopping in front of a stall to examine it carefully.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this prayer mat in spirit stones?"

Zhang Yuanzhu stopped in front of the stall, looking at a dark-colored futon made of yellowish spiritual grass, even though it was a certain distance away.

Young people can still feel the tranquility and peace emanating from it.

The man in purple robes looked at the prayer mat and, before the stall owner could answer, spoke first:
"The cushion woven from the heart-clearing grass is not bad; it has some value to us."

The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. He carefully sized up the two of them, his eyes filled with respect.

Only after the purple-robed man finished speaking did he open his mouth:
"Seniors, this futon was woven by me after risking my life to gather the materials I harvested in the demon land. However, if you need it, I will gladly give it to you; if not, please don't."

"price?"

Zhang Yuanzhu interrupted the big man directly.

"Fifty high-grade spirit stones!"

The young man stretched out his hand, and the storage bag appeared out of thin air. He raised his hand and tossed it out.

The burly man took the storage bag and immediately handed over the prayer mat.

Once the transaction was completed, Zhang Yuanzhu and Chu Tianyi prepared to leave.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on the purple-robed man's face, and he spoke softly:

"Brother Zhang, someone has come looking for you."

Zhang Yuanzhu stared indifferently at the three figures walking quickly towards him.

Each of them was dressed in a blue Taoist robe, exuding the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and were quite remarkable.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them arrived in front of the two.

Bow with hands clasped in greeting!
"Qingyun Chamber of Commerce greets the Divine Child of Thousand Tribulations. We wish the Divine Child a smooth path to immortality and the attainment of the Golden Core Dao."

Then, he turned his gaze to the young man, his expression grave:
"We have met Fellow Daoist Zhang. The Qingyun Chamber of Commerce is willing to provide compensation to resolve the past misunderstandings, and..."

Before he could finish speaking, the leading Taoist priest stopped talking abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The young man who had humiliated the Chamber of Commerce simply left.

Zhang Yuanzhu strode past the three people and continued forward.

Chu Tianyi's eyes flickered, and he ignored the three from the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, quickly following after them.

"Zhang Yuanzhu!!!"

The Taoist in the green robe growled.

The Qingyun Chamber of Commerce is the strongest force among the three major unorthodox sects, no weaker than any branch of the Immortal Soldier Valley.

They are never afraid of the Scorching Sun lineage, nor are they afraid of so-called geniuses, after all, even geniuses need to grow up.

If it weren't for the Thousand Tribulations Divine Child accompanying them, they wouldn't have come here to resolve some grievances.

the other side.

Chu Tianyi's expression was somewhat complicated as he looked at the cultivator beside him and softly said:
"The Qingyun Chamber of Commerce is quite powerful. For you, it would be best to resolve any grudges."

Zhang Yuanzhu stopped in his tracks, turned to face the man in purple robes.

"My affairs are none of your concern."

"As for you, sir, you've gone to great lengths to follow me all this way. I'm quite curious about your purpose."

Chu Tianyi smoothed out the wrinkles at the hem of her clothes with both hands.

"What do you think of Boundless Palace compared to Immortal Soldier Valley, fellow Daoist?"

Zhang Yuanzhu gave the man a deep look, his hand stroking the long ruler.

"I do not care!"

The man in purple robes looked slightly surprised; the other party was acting somewhat unpredictably.

However, Chu Tianyi no longer concealed his meaning and uttered each word clearly:
"Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to join my Boundless Palace? It's not just you alone; the entire Zhuoyang lineage can join the Boundless Palace and establish a temple to pass on the lineage."

"If you are not at ease, I can make a swearing oath on behalf of the Thousand Tribulations Temple."

Zhang Yuanzhu remained silent, glancing at the cultivators secretly observing and probing around him, his smile deepening.

If the other party truly wanted to recruit him and the Zhuoyang lineage, they would never plot in public without any secrecy.

This is an attempt to put him in a difficult position.

If they choose to join the Boundless Palace in such a grand manner, the many disciples and elders left behind in the Immortal Soldier Valley will probably all die.

If they refuse, it will sow seeds of suspicion among sects, keeping them constantly on guard against the Scorching Sun lineage.

"Ah!"

"I'm curious, how dare you scheme against me?"

Zhang Yuanzhu placed his palm on the long ruler, his head slightly tilted to the side.

"What scheme, fellow Daoist? I don't understand."

"I simply wish to be of the same lineage as Brother Zhang."

Chu Tianyi's purple robes fluttered, his black hair flowed over his shoulders, and his smile remained unchanged, full of sincerity.

"All you know how to do is play these underhanded tricks!"

The young man's eyes were cold, and his body leaned slightly forward.

With an extremely simple movement, the earth within a radius of dozens of miles trembled, and countless wisps of air were compressed by an immense force, emitting bursts of howling.

“You’re nothing but a divine child, I’ll kill you.” He took a step forward and raised his arm.

Extend the ruler!

"It's not difficult!"

The ruler moved like a dragon, drawing out the air and creating a sonic boom, causing ripples to appear in the space.

The gleaming white ruler, carrying unparalleled power, pierced towards the enemy's head.

Chu Tianyi's eyes were calm, and a smile appeared on his face. He was not surprised that the other party suddenly attacked.

And they had already made various preparations.

Within his dantian, the four spiritual platforms erupted with full force, and his magical power surged like a vast ocean through his body.

Thirty-six divine rings bloomed simultaneously, rising and falling to protect him, while wisps of gray mist appeared behind him and gathered on his arms.

He raised his arm, spread his fingers, and met the long ruler.

Zhang Yuanzhu remained expressionless, his movements unchanged.

In an instant, the long ruler pierced the divine ring.

In an instant, Chu Tianyi's expression changed drastically, and he retreated rapidly.

bang~ bang~ bang~
Thirty-six divine rings exploded simultaneously, and a luminous white ruler tore through the gray mist, striking the afterimage.

Blood splattered and fell into the sky.

A figure stood in the distance, clutching his shoulder, gazing at the young man.

"not dead!"

Zhang Yuanzhu was slightly surprised; the opponent couldn't dodge that attack.

At this moment, Chu Tianyi was shocked. His opponent was far more powerful than he had imagined. Fortunately...
"This is the ninth level forged by the Temple of a Thousand Calamities!"

The man spoke softly, and his figure slowly disappeared.

Defeating Zhang Yuanzhu, or even killing him, was his sole purpose in coming here.

This was also the sixteenth tribulation he had chosen for himself!

This calamity is neither weak nor powerful; it can be overcome with the help of the lineage behind it.

Array patterns emerged from the earth, from the sky, and from the vegetation, covering the heavens and the earth, and the vast wilderness.

One by one, the cultivators who were observing from the surrounding area were pierced by the array patterns, their bodies exploded, turning into blood and mud that covered the earth.

"Brother Zhang, do you know what the Temple of a Thousand Calamities is?"

Zhang Yuanzhu ignored it, his double pupils deep and profound. He activated his pupil technique 'Discernment' and observed the great formation, searching for its weaknesses.

Chu Tianyi remained hidden in the shadows, his expression returning to its usual gentleness. Bones grew back and flesh writhed in his shoulder, his injuries healing rapidly.

"The Thousand Tribulations are the trials and tribulations we endure before we can see our true selves and ascend to the Great Dao. The more perilous the tribulations, the stronger we become after overcoming them."

"You are the sixteenth tribulation I have chosen."

The array roared and continued to spread into the distance, with more and more power supporting it.

Chu Tianyi's expression became increasingly gentle.

"If Brother Zhang admits defeat, then this matter can be considered closed."

"Ah!"

A soft laugh rang out, Zhang Yuanzhu's smile chilling.

Each step forward was like the beating of war drums, resounding through the sky.

"Enough with the nonsense, then die!"

The young man strode forward, each step deviating from the array patterns, each step bringing him closer to the man in purple robes.

The unique sound of war drums echoed continuously throughout the heavens and earth.

The boy took nine steps and stood in the center of the formation, looking up with a fierce expression.

With his five fingers lightly gripping the long ruler, magical power surged into it like a tidal wave, bursting forth with a radiant white light, like celestial light.

Sacred and dazzling.

The engraved patterns on the ruler seem to come alive, all gazing towards the sky.

Stomp on the ground and raise your arms.

kill!

The Boundless Ruler swept away the array patterns covering the sky, revealing a man in purple robes.

The ruler's speed remains constant, and it will pierce through the enemy in an instant.

"Ah~"

Chu Tianyi's face showed bitterness. Had his plan failed?

The opponent's mastery of formations far surpasses their cultivation level; it's simply a joke.

We'll just have to wait until next time!
"Fighting is forbidden within the ninth level. What do you intend to do?"

Boom~
A gust of wind swept by, and all the array patterns disappeared.

A giant hand covered the sky and crashed down, domineering and tyrannical.

"Get out of here! This isn't Immortal Soldier Valley!"

At this moment, indescribable pressure is bearing down from all directions, blocking all paths forward.

In the distance, at the Immortal Soldier Valley encampment, several figures soared into the sky, watching the youth who was about to be subdued, their actions varying.

Some approached with sarcasm, some rushed over, and some remained indifferent.

Zhang Yuanzhu sensed the blood and flesh scattered on the ground and heard the other party's words forbidding fighting; his eyes turned extremely cold and fierce.

Without the slightest hesitation, he took out a talisman crackling with lightning and stuck it on the measuring ruler.

The aura of a Golden Core True Monarch spread out in an instant.

The long ruler in his palm trembled slightly, bursting forth with rays of light, and continued its attack towards the heavens.

"Golden Elixir Talisman, you've gone mad to use it here."

The roar shook the heavens and the earth. A long-bearded old man appeared out of thin air and retreated rapidly, trying to take Chu Tianyi away.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Or rather, the long-bearded old man consciously avoided the long ruler, not daring to make the slightest contact with it.

The measuring ruler soared across the sky and struck the man in purple robes.

Chu Tianyi's eyes turned serious, his face lost its gentleness, and his body was pulled wildly to the right by the old man.

bang~
An arm exploded, blood splattering and falling to the ground.

Zhang Yuanzhu watched the two disappear, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes, for in the end, he had let them live.

At this moment, figures arrived from all directions, each exuding a powerful aura.

"Is Yuanzhu injured?"

Chen Zijing quickly stepped forward and stood in front of the young man, his expression worried.

Zhang Yuanzhu removed the talisman and slung the measuring ruler around his waist.

"It's nothing, just a mouse."

"It's a pity it wasn't killed."

The Sword Sect elder gave the young man a deep look, then turned his gaze to the talisman crackling with lightning in his palm, and slowly spoke:
"Put away the True Lord Talisman; it is the foundation of your lineage, not a spiritual artifact to be used recklessly."

Zhang Yuanzhu narrowed his double pupils, listening intently to the secret transmission.

With a flick of his wrist, he put the talisman away.

His hand fell, casually resting on the long ruler, and he looked at the several True Immortals of Wuliang Palace, uttering each word clearly:
"Is this the rule of Wuliang Palace?"

"Within the city, mobilize the great formation and indiscriminately slaughter our comrades who came to provide support."

"They even resorted to ambush and sowing discord, using every means at their disposal."

The words fell like rain, and a memory stone flew out of his arms, hovering in mid-air.

slap~
The photographic stone exploded instantly, turning into powder.

Zhang Yuanzhu gazed ahead with great interest at the figure of a True Person from the Boundless Palace who had just destroyed the Recording Stone.

The young man raised his hand, and another photographic stone appeared in his palm.

"If you dare to destroy this, I will activate the True Monarch Talisman right now and kill all of you."

"Not one left."

Zhang Yuanzhu's expression was chilling, radiating a bone-chilling killing intent.

In an instant, many real people mobilized their magical power, ready to leave at any moment.
