Chen Mouguang's gaze was fixed on the Wu Xuan Temple direction.
At this moment, the light green pillar slowly dissipated.
There was good news. After the pillar dissipated, there was no longer any terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation like before. No one was throwing those incomprehensible big moves on the spot anymore.
This battle might have already reached its conclusion.
The current Wu Xuan Temple had basically turned into cliff-like terrain. The surrounding mountain forests had also collapsed beyond recognition.
But for Chen Mouguang, it was also very possibly bad news. Had their Senior Chu held on or not?
"You two wait here for Elder Bai. I'll go check the situation up ahead."
After instructing his two disciples, Chen Mouguang headed toward the Wu Xuan Temple direction. At the same time, his divine sense scanned toward the Wu Xuan Temple direction.
Ye Antao watched Chen Mouguang's actions with a surprised gaze.
Although the battle appeared to have ended, the actual situation was unknown. No one knew who had released that final move either.
If it was a follow-up from the Incense Divine Dao, going up now would be no different from sending oneself to death.
But it was understandable. Because several cultivators who appeared to be Tai Dao Sect disciples were also hurrying toward the Wu Xuan Temple.
Freak-level cultivators like these were treasures among treasures to their respective sects.
Even Bai Xuanling from the Tian Yan Sect, which was quite far from here, had chosen to come personally upon hearing the news.
How many years had it been since Central State had seen Bai Xuanling take action?
The Tai Dao Sect, which was closer to this place, didn't need much questioning either. After seeing the pillar that far exceeded Deity Transformation cultivation level, an elder should also be rushing here.
Probably wouldn't take long to arrive.
"Tsk..." Wang Ling suddenly felt a headache. What was all this? How should he write his report when he went back?
Fighting to this extent, plus the Tai Dao Sect's imminent reinforcements. Whoever came would be at least elder level. Wanting to fish in troubled waters was basically impossible.
This time, they probably got up early only to miss the gathering.
Although before coming, they said it was intelligence sharing, and the Tian Yan Sect also had a fierce person participating. But in reality, how to haggle would naturally still be how they haggle.
Moreover, it was a verbal agreement, which was even more ridiculous.
What gave the biggest headache was that currently, it seemed the Incense Divine Dao indeed had unique research depth... This person who participated the most probably couldn't run away either.
——————
At the Wu Xuan Temple.
Chu Xingchen looked calmly at the pure white diamond-shaped fragment.
A pure Dao rhyme overflowed from it.
[Submit quest target?]
This thing was truly somewhat evil. And that kind of assimilation... boldly guessing, this authority was probably something the Heavenly Dao dropped due to certain circumstances.
To resist this kind of assimilation would probably require competing with the Heavenly Dao in divine sense?
Moreover, the negative tags on using this thing were too many.
Most importantly, through two extra missions, Chu Xingchen vaguely sensed something was off.
Most of the missions issued by his system seemed to be cleaning up some mysterious tasks for the former Heavenly Dao.
Luck was. Scattered authority was too.
Could it be that the Heavenly Dao was actually in quite a bad state to some degree?
After all, from the current perspective, this Heavenly Dao was too scatterbrained. The probability of encountering it was actually not low.
Chu Xingchen pondered slightly and sighed. "Submit."
In the end, he might not be able to use this thing himself. Carrying it on him was inferior to exchanging it for a reliable system weapon.
As the words fell, the pure white diamond-shaped fragment instantly vanished before Chu Xingchen.
[Quest completed]
[Reward distributed: Wan Ban (Myriad Forms)]
[Reward has been sent to system inventory]
Wan Ban? What kind of weapon was this?
Chu Xingchen opened his system inventory and took out the so-called [Wan Ban].
A transparent, brick-like object appeared in Chu Xingchen's hand. In the core of this brick was something similar to the previous diamond-shaped fragment, faintly flashing with white light.
Only the size difference was extreme. It was only about the size of a fingernail.
But the moment he held it, Chu Xingchen roughly understood the function of this brick.
Wan Ban—naturally had myriad forms.
Although his third disciple's Azure Sky Treasure Ring could be controlled and transformed to slash at people, it was purely because the Azure Sky Treasure Ring was hard enough. Moreover, after changing form, the Azure Sky Treasure Ring wouldn't enhance all sword-type skills.
The Azure Sky Treasure Ring's attitude was probably—turning into a sword is already giving you face, and you still want me to act like a sword?!
But after Wan Ban appeared, the one with the biggest reaction was the Azure Sky Treasure Ring.
The Azure Sky Treasure Ring moved slightly closer to Chu Xingchen's arm, seemingly intentionally avoiding the Wan Ban in Chu Xingchen's hand.
Chu Xingchen immediately put away the Wan Ban and reached out to stroke the Azure Sky Treasure Ring, comforting it.
The Azure Sky Treasure Ring had come so timely, with such a good attitude.
It was a bit like little Bai Qing, well-behaved. Moreover, this was still Bai Qing's spirit treasure. Love me, love my dog—pamper this one first.
Whatever Wan Ban, he'd study it when he got back.
The Azure Sky Treasure Ring's attitude was extremely gentle as it rubbed against Chu Xingchen, responding.
Chu Xingchen nodded in satisfaction. Then his gaze turned to Jade Yang Daozi beside him.
At this moment, Jade Yang Daozi was frowning tightly, his gaze looking at the air on the ground, his tone somewhat helpless.
"Handsome my ass... you weren't fierce at the beginning."
Chu Xingchen nodded in satisfaction again. I have to say, the Bai Qing Great Technique with the Azure Sky Treasure Ring's enhancement was truly good to use.
Easily handling a mere Jade Yang Daozi.
Jade Yang Daozi reached out to support himself on the air and stood up. Then his gaze turned to the Wu Xuan Temple main hall that was a complete mess.
He frowned and said. "This Incense Divine Dao... it's somewhat too wrong. How could it be this strong?"
Chu Xingchen walked leisurely to Jade Yang Daozi's side and spoke.
"Who knows. At least Wu Dao Temple sent intelligence to you guys. Now it's reduced to ruins, Zhang Daotan was blasted to ashes, nothing left."
Jade Yang Daozi looked sideways at Chu Xingchen. "You didn't do this intentionally, did you?"
Chu Xingchen frowned, displeased. "What are you joking about? With that thing, would I dare to be intentional or not? Nothing is more important than my little life."
Jade Yang Daozi didn't continue saying much. Only his divine sense had already begun searching everywhere for any leftovers.
Chu Xingchen wasn't willing to fall behind either. Although he knew there was nothing left, he still crazily searched like Jade Yang Daozi.
Only a moment later, the two turned their heads together to look west.
Several rainbow lights came from the distance at extreme speed. In just a moment, they crossed a long distance and flew to the two people's side.
Among them, one rainbow light was the fastest, charging straight toward Jade Yang Daozi, then directly embracing him into its arms.
"My good disciple, are you alright?!"
A daoist wearing daoist robes, not looking old but with somewhat turbid eyes, considered middle-aged and elderly, nervously rubbed Jade Yang Daozi's back.
Continuously observing Jade Yang Daozi's condition.
The other few rainbow lights also landed on the ground, men and women. After landing, they casually waved out several barriers.
Among them, a woman's tone was somewhat cold.
"I told you not to worry. What could happen to Jade Yang? Isn't he jumping around lively?"
The Tai Dao Sect headmaster turned around, glaring angrily and rebuking.
"Not your disciple, so naturally you don't feel distressed! There are so many things to experience in the world, must it be this one time?"
The woman snorted coldly, her gaze turning to Chu Xingchen.
"Which family are you from? Don't you know this is Tai Dao Sect territory?"
Before Chu Xingchen could answer.
Chen Mouguang's anxious voice came.
"We're from the Tian Yan Sect. Elder Bai is on her way here!"
"Bai Xuanling?!"
The woman said somewhat surprised upon hearing this. Her gaze carefully looked Chu Xingchen up and down.
She couldn't tell left or right that Chu Xingchen looked like a cultivator who killed without blinking.
