Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

Lin Zhao slowly exhaled, his face somewhat pale. A strike comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator was not so easy to withstand.

With the help of the spiritual power provided by the Five Prisons Domain and the Gathering Yuan Pearl, he managed to hold off the nine-headed spirit dragon and the giant tree phantom.

The nine-headed spirit dragons all dissipated and could not be reassembled in a short period of time.

Only the Five Prisons Suppressing Heavenly Dragon remained, but the five-colored spiritual light on the dragon's body was much dimmer than before.

Yang Si knelt on the ground, the Heavenly Treasure Jade Talisman lying beside him, and the spiritual energy fluctuations on his body were so weak that they were almost imperceptible.

Lin Zhao was preparing to make her move.

A grayish-blue figure suddenly appeared in front of Yang Si.

Qingwu Zhenjun looked down at Yang Si, who was kneeling on the ground.

Yang Si didn't look up; he knew that this person had been watching from the sky from the very beginning.

"This matter ends here."

After all, he was a disciple who had been with him for hundreds of years; how could he just let go of him like that?

If he were truly a heartless and ruthless person, he wouldn't have been trapped in Qingwu Prefecture for two thousand years.

Lin Zhao remained silent.

Zhou Yichu and Li Peilan, who arrived later, also remained silent.

Qingwu Zhenjun waved his hand, preparing to take Yang Si away.

"True Lord,"

Lin Zhao spoke up, "Yang Si's jade talisman magic weapon should be my spoils of war, right?"

Qingwu Zhenjun remained silent for a moment.

The Heavenly Treasure Jade Talisman was Yang Siyun's natal magic treasure, which she had nurtured for hundreds of years. Lin Zhao was demanding an explanation from him.

"From now on, he will not appear outside of Qingwu Prefecture."

With a wave of his hand, Qingwu Zhenjun forcibly severed the spiritual connection between the Heavenly Treasure Jade Talisman and Yang Si.

Yang Si groaned as his natal magic weapon was forcibly stripped away, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. However, he was so weak that he could no longer even scream.

The Heavenly Treasure Jade Talisman broke free from its original owner's control and floated in mid-air. It was then swept towards Lin Zhao by Qingwu Zhenjun with a flick of his sleeve.

Then, he took Yang Si with him and disappeared in a streak of light.

Lin Zhao held the Heavenly Treasure Jade Talisman in his hand, looking in the direction where the streak of light had disappeared.

He murmured, "Indeed, only those at the Nascent Soul stage can set the rules."

The agreement between the two parties was that Lin Zhao could kill Yang Si if he made a move.

But Qingwu Zhenjun changed the terms at the last minute—he personally took the person away.

This is not a discussion, it is a notification.

Because he is a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he can do this.

"You're right, aren't you?"

Lin Zhao turned her head and looked into the distance.

In the distance, Wei Yuan Zhenren, who had just woken up from the sandpit and was sneaking out, froze.

His injuries were too severe; the Azure Banner had been torn in several places by the Returning Void Devouring Heaven Technique.

When Lin Zhao's gaze fell on him, Wei Yuan's movements instantly froze.

He turned over and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

"Fellow Daoist Lin! No, Senior Lin! Show mercy! You can have my entire storage bag, my magic treasures, everything! Spare my life!"

Lin Zhao ignored him and walked towards him step by step.

The boots made a soft, crunching sound as they stepped on the gravel of the Gobi Desert.

With each step he took closer, the color drained from Wei Yuan's face.

Wei Yuan finally broke down.

His voice became sharp and trembling: "You can't kill me. I am the illegitimate son of a Nascent Soul elder of the Golden Jade Sect. If you kill me, you will be in big trouble. My father will not let you off."

A five-colored light blade appeared in Lin Zhao's hand. The light blade was formed from the five elements of spiritual power and was as thin as a cicada's wing.

He flashed, and the five-colored light blade grazed past Wei Yuanzhen's neck.

A head flew up, its expression frozen between terror and threat.

Blood spurted from his neck and fell onto the sand, quickly leaving only a dark red bloodstain.

Lin Zhao watched the head fall to the ground, his tone devoid of mockery or smugness.

It's just a simple pity: "It's a pity you're not a Nascent Soul True Monarch."

If it were a Nascent Soul True Monarch, Lin Zhao would turn around and leave without saying a word, but Wei Yuan is different.

The identity of being the illegitimate son of a Nascent Soul cultivator meant nothing to Lin Zhao.

Jin Yu Zong is indeed a Nascent Soul sect, but behind it is Zhen Shi Sheng Zong.

When it comes to backing up, who's afraid of whom?

Lin Zhao put away Wei Yuan's storage bag, scanned it with his divine sense, and found that although the Azure Banner was there, it needed repair.

Several magical artifacts, some elixirs, and jade slips.

But most importantly, there are countless spirit stones and various metallic spirit objects. These metals are enough for him to create two more Heavenly Dawn Golds.

This disciple of the Golden Jade Sect is indeed very wealthy. He remembers that the Golden Jade Sect is located near the Golden Jade Immortal City, a place rich in various mineral veins. He might have the chance to go and take a look.

Then he found Xiao Zhenren's magic weapon, the Treasure Light Bottle, nearby. After Xiao Zhenren was controlled and self-destructed, the Treasure Light Bottle fell down, but it didn't suffer much damage.

Lin Zhao looked around.

The vast desert and Gobi region, spanning hundreds of miles, was ravaged by this great battle, with the ground being lowered by more than ten feet, revealing black rock layers.

Hundreds of craters of varying sizes were scattered across an area of ​​hundreds of miles, and the remaining sword energy left deep trenches on the ground.

The matter in Qingwu Prefecture is now completely over.

-----

Lin Zhao transformed into a streak of five-colored light and flew towards Yunzhou.

On his way back to the sect, he began to study the top-grade third-tier magic weapon he had obtained—the Heavenly Treasure Jade Talisman.

Thanks to Qingwu Zhenjun for completely erasing Yang Si's aura,

Lin Zhao easily refined this treasure.

This jade talisman is constructed in a completely different way from ordinary magical artifacts; it is made from various kinds of spiritual jade.

The core is a supernatural power called "Tianbao Secret Technique", which compresses, weaves, and solidifies countless runes within the spirit jade.

In Lin Zhao's view, this Heavenly Treasure Secret Technique is at least a Nascent Soul level great supernatural power.

To be honest, it was a bit of a waste that it was in Yang Si's hands before, as he couldn't unleash the power of this magic weapon at all.

Lin Zhao casually tossed the Heavenly Treasure Jade Talisman into the air, and all the runes on the talisman lit up at the same time.

The white jade-colored runes were composed of billions of tiny points of light. These runes began to frantically absorb the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, and then reorganized.

Yang Si needs to use the Dharma Domain for assistance and the Heavenly Treasure Dragon Talisman to simulate the Five Prisons Suppressing Heavenly Dragon, but Lin Zhao is far more powerful than him.

He used runes to construct spells and create various forms during his youth.

The Four Elements Sword Dragon of Qi Refining, the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Dragon of Foundation Establishment, and the Five Prisons World-Suppressing Heavenly Dragon of Core Formation.

Behind every supernatural power lies a combination of countless runes.

Only when the Heavenly Treasure Jade Talisman is in his hands can it truly exert its various wondrous uses.

Under his control, countless runes began to arrange themselves according to a certain structure.

The complete structure of a magical artifact, the Blood Essence Bone Fiend Palace, appeared in Lin Zhao's sea of ​​consciousness.

That was a top-grade third-tier palace magic treasure in the hands of Qinglian's clone, and Lin Zhao knew its structure like the back of his hand.

Countless runes intertwined and solidified in the air, and in no time, a white jade palace-shaped magical artifact took shape out of thin air.

The bone walls turned into white jade, and the countless blood-red pupils that were originally on the walls became Heavenly Treasure Spiritual Pupils. Each spiritual pupil was slowly opening and closing, with runic light flowing within it.

These Heavenly Treasure Spirit Eyes possess abilities similar to Blood Eyes, but with different attributes.

The palace floated above Lin Zhao's head, its hanging spiritual light shield providing defense that was in no way inferior to the Blood Essence Bone Fiend Palace itself, a top-grade third-tier weapon.
