Great Evolution: I Exclusively Possess Earth's Six Supreme Opportunities

……

Inside a celestial abode shrouded in mist, its location unknown.

Several figures with auras as deep as the sea were sitting around a chessboard made of ten-thousand-year-old cold jade.

One of them, with an air of otherworldly grace, was none other than Elder Kunlun, who had appeared at Kunlun Mountain and met Su Bai once before.

"Fellow Daoists, you are probably already aware of this."

Elder Kunlun placed a piece, his voice calm.

"That serpent from the East had half of its manifested form severed and fled back to its lair in a sorry state."

Opposite him, a middle-aged man dressed in Huashan Sect attire, with sword-like eyebrows reaching his temples, snorted coldly.

"Just an ignorant insect, yet it dares to call itself a god and ancestor? It deserved to be killed."

His words were filled with disdain for the Yamata no Orochi and absolute confidence in the lineage of his sect.

That being said...

A Taoist nun from Mount Emei spoke slowly.

"But that young man named Su Bai does have some skills."

"To defeat a Saint with only the foundation of Dao, and even break through to a higher realm in battle, such talent is rare throughout history."

"Most importantly, the opportunities he possesses—the Shennong Cauldron, the Enlightenment Tea Tree… any one of them is enough to tempt us."

Upon hearing this, everyone present quickened their breathing slightly.

Elder Kunlun glanced at everyone and continued speaking.

"This kid has already shown his potential!"

"A direct, forceful attack is not the act of a wise man; it will only severely deplete our strength and give those winged, radiant Westerners something to laugh at."

"Then, in your opinion, what should we do?" the Huashan sword cultivator asked.

Elder Kunlun's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

"Didn't he call himself the 'Master of the Eastern Dao'?"

"Then let's make him a mere figurehead as the 'Lord of the Dao'."

"Pass down the order: all the major sects will jointly issue a 'Mountain Sealing Order' to completely seize the most exquisite spiritual veins of China."

"At the same time, we will announce to all cultivators in the world that the Taichu Palace is a heretical sect and not a legitimate sect of the Xuanmen."

"I want to completely isolate him from the entire cultivation world of the East!"

"A brilliant plan to strike at the heart of the problem!"

Upon hearing this, everyone clapped and praised.

The atmosphere at the Primordial Base changed from a celebratory feast with everyone celebrating in just a few days to a somber mood as if a storm was brewing.

The news couldn't be kept secret.

With the emergence of those ancient sects, the entire communication network of China was almost turned upside down by them.

Today, Mount Tai, also known as Daizong, announced its closure, banishing all modern forces within a 300-mile radius.

Tomorrow, the Huashan Sword Sect will cleave the river with a single sword strike, warning all awakened beings not to approach.

The day after tomorrow, Emei Mountain will be bathed in Buddha's light. They openly recruit followers online, their words filled with disdain for the current worldly spiritual system.

These guys, who call themselves "orthodox disciples of the Xuanmen sect," exuded an air of arrogance from the moment they appeared, as if they were the sole masters of this land.

Even more disgusting, they also jointly released a so-called "Letter to All Cultivators".

The entire text promotes how authentic their lineage is and how ancient their tradition is, while also criticizing certain "heretical sects" without naming them, saying that they steal the fortune of heaven and earth, cultivate demonic arts, and disrupt the order of the world.

Anyone with eyes to see can see that this is aimed directly at Taichu Palace, which has just conquered Japan and is enjoying unparalleled prestige.

"Sir, these old bastards are worse than demons!"

Inside the base's conference room, Ghost slammed his fist on the table, his face filled with murderous intent.

"We're fighting tooth and nail with these demons here, while they're hiding in the mountains sleeping soundly, and now they're out here reaping the benefits?"

Lin Wan's expression was also somewhat cold.

The screen in front of her was displaying the latest intelligence from Dragon Shield.

Those ancient sects are frantically absorbing the wealth and power of the secular world, and in just a few days, they have divided China into dozens of large and small interest groups.

The Dragon Shield's control has been weakened like never before.

"They're trying to cut off our resources and isolate us."

Su Bai sat in the main seat, his fingers lightly tapping the table, his expression unchanged.

He had long anticipated this day.

These ancient monsters, who have been asleep for thousands of years, are far more cunning and shrewd than a fool like the Yamata no Orochi, who only knows how to fight and kill.

Just then, the alarm system on the perimeter of the base sounded a rapid alarm.

"Report! Three high-level cultivators have been spotted approaching outside the east gate of the base!"

"They ignored our warnings and are attempting to force their way in!"

Lin Wan immediately pulled up the surveillance footage.

Three streaks of light flew in from the horizon at an extremely fast speed.

The leader was a middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist robe from Mount Tai, holding a whisk, with an air of otherworldly elegance.

On the left is a young man from the Huashan Sect carrying an ancient sword, with an arrogant expression and his chin almost pointing to the sky.

On the right is an Emei Taoist nun holding prayer beads, with a solemn and dignified appearance, but unable to hide a hint of disdain between her brows.

All three of them were at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

"They arrived quite quickly."

Su Bai looked at the three people on the screen, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.

He did not get up.

He simply gave Lin Wan a brief instruction.

"Let them in."

"Yes."

Lin Wan nodded, turned around and walked out.

……

Inside the reception room of the Primordial Base.

Three envoys from an ancient sect were arrogantly surveying the surrounding furnishings.

"Hmph, as expected, it's a heretical and unorthodox approach, just some strange and ingenious steel creations, without a trace of Taoist essence."

The young swordsman from the Huashan Sect looked at the technologically advanced decorations in the room with disdain in his tone.

"Nephew, be careful what you say."

The middle-aged Taoist priest of Mount Tai coughed lightly, offering words of advice, but his expression remained unchanged.

"We have come here for the sake of all people, to enlighten those who have gone astray, and to prevent them from losing sight of the greater good for the sake of small gains."

The Taoist nun from Emei clasped her hands together, chanted a Buddhist prayer, but said nothing more, clearly acknowledging their statement.

Lin Wan walked in expressionlessly, followed by two maids carrying tea trays.

"The three Taoist priests have come from afar, please have some tea."

The young swordsman glanced at the clear tea in the maid's hand, not even bothering to touch it.

"No need."

"We have come here to pay our respects to Daoist Master Su and to discuss important matters concerning the future of the Eastern cultivation world, not to drink tea."

"We urge Daoist Su to show himself at the first opportunity."

His tone was more of a command than a request.

Lin Wan's gaze turned colder, but she still maintained her politeness.

"The master is currently in seclusion. If the three of you have anything important to discuss, you may speak with me."

"To tell you?"

The young swordsman looked Lin Wan up and down as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"You're merely a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, how dare you discuss important matters with us?"

"We represent the three sacred mountains of Mount Tai, Mount Hua, and Mount Emei! We represent the entire orthodox sect of Eastern Taoism!"

"Get your master out here! Otherwise, don't blame us for showing him no respect!"

The atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Just then, a calm voice came from the inner part of the reception room.

"It seems I don't need you to give me face."

As the voice spoke, Su Bai slowly emerged from behind the screen.

He was dressed in simple casual clothes, looking like a young man next door, without any aura of a powerful figure.

But the moment he appeared, the pupils of the three envoys all contracted simultaneously.

They can't see through it.

I can't see through the depths of this man in front of me at all.

The middle-aged Taoist priest from Mount Tai, being a seasoned veteran, immediately dropped his arrogance and bowed respectfully to Su Bai.

"This humble Taoist, Qingxuzi of Mount Tai, greets Master Su."

"The Dao Lord is so young yet possesses the power to reverse the slaying of a Saint, which is truly a blessing for our Eastern cultivation world."

He immediately flattered Su Bai.

Su Bai walked to the main seat and sat down, gesturing to it.

"sit."

"Speak your mind, or shut up. My time is precious."

These blunt and unpolite words made Qingxuzi swallow back all the polite words he had prepared.

His face was slightly stiff.

The Huashan sword cultivator standing nearby couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

Qingxuzi took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"Since the Daoist Master speaks frankly, then this humble Daoist will not beat around the bush either."

"Since the Dao Lord holds the Shennong Cauldron and the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, he must already know that such treasures are of great importance and cannot be possessed by anyone but those with great fortune."

"As the saying goes, if one's virtue is not commensurate with one's position, disaster will surely follow."

"We, the three great holy lands, cannot bear to see our Dao Lord suffer a fatal disaster because he possesses a great treasure, so we have come here to discuss this matter."

He paused, then finally revealed his true intentions.

"We are willing to recommend Daoist Su as a 'Guest Elder' of our three holy lands, a position of great prestige and revered by cultivators throughout the world."

"As for the Dao Lord, he only needs to entrust the Shennong Cauldron and the Enlightenment Tea Tree, these two 'external possessions,' to our three holy lands for joint safekeeping."

"In this way, the safety of the Dao Lord is ensured, and the divine object can be occupied by the virtuous, bringing blessings to all living beings. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

He spoke with such righteous indignation, as if he were truly thinking of Su Bai's best interests.

Su Bai listened without showing any expression.

He simply stared at Qingxuzi silently until the other man felt a little uneasy.

Then he smiled.

"Are you saying I'm immoral and therefore unworthy of these things?"

Qingxuzi was taken aback by his question and quickly waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, you misunderstand. I had no such intention, it's just that..."

"Alright."

Su Bai interrupted him.

He stood up and slowly walked to the three envoys. An invisible pressure made it difficult for the three of them to breathe.

Su Bai looked at them, his smile unchanged, but devoid of any warmth.

"I just have one question."

"Can your virtue withstand one punch from me?"

The moment the words fell.

boom!

An overwhelming pressure, too terrifying to be described in words, suddenly erupted from Su Bai's body!

That's no longer just a matter of imposing presence!

That is the absolute domain of a Saintly Realm expert whose words become law, influencing the laws of heaven and earth!

At this moment, the entire living room space seemed to freeze into reality.

The air turned into viscous mercury.

The three envoys at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm couldn't even utter a sound.

The color drained from their faces instantly.

That absolute crushing force originating from the level of life made them feel as if their Dao foundation was groaning, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Their bodies felt as if they were being crushed by an invisible mountain, unable to move even a finger.

Large beads of cold sweat seeped from their foreheads, instantly soaking their Taoist robes.

It felt like falling into an ice cave!

Is this the man's true power?!

The divine manifestation behind them could not exert such a strong sense of pressure on them!

fear!

An unprecedented fear completely overwhelmed their ridiculous arrogance.

Su Bai only released a wisp of his aura before withdrawing it.

The tension in the reception room vanished completely.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft!

The three envoys collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

They stared at the man who still wore a smile, their eyes filled with nothing but utter horror.

Su Bai walked back to the main seat and sat down.

He picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, and acted as if nothing had happened.

"Now, we can have a proper talk."

His tone changed abruptly without warning.

"You think I'll hand over my stuff? No way."

"However, cooperation is something we can discuss."

The three envoys were still in a daze and could only stare at him blankly.

Su Bai flicked his finger.

Three pills, radiating a rich life essence, landed in front of them.

"This is the 'Heavenly Serpent Pill' made from the flesh and blood of the Yamata no Orochi. One pill is enough to increase the chance of a cultivator at the peak of the Dao Foundation Realm breaking through to the Saint Realm by 30%."

"I can sell it to you."

"In addition, I have a large amount of mutated beast materials and demon cores in my base, which you should be able to use as well."

"I don't need much."

Su Bai looked at them and spoke slowly.

"In exchange, we'll trade your sect's most treasured techniques, secret arts, and information about all the folded spaces in this world."

"Business is about give and take; that's what makes it fair, isn't it?"
