C1172 Even the Gods Could Not Escape
Yang Chen walked into the house with a slight chuckle as he put down the bowl and chopsticks, signaling to his family not to worry, and then left his seat.
Under the night sky, Taoist Jue Jian was carrying a flying sword on his back as he stood proudly on the grass not far away from them.
Although he was definitely not a match for Yang Chen in terms of cultivation, he was not afraid of Yang Chen with just the support of Hong Meng.
"Does Taoist Taoist want to come in for dinner so early?" Yang Chen smiled in invitation.
"Dinner?" Taoist Jue Jian slightly frowned, "You are already at the Tribulation Stage level, and have long been able to use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as your life force. Why do you want to eat those five grains and their turds?"
Yang Chen threw up his hands, "If you don't want to eat, then don't. Where did all this logic come from?" "I can do whatever I want, I can eat whatever I want, and I can also do whatever I want if I don't want to. How can there be so many reasons to find out?"
"Don't diverge our conversation." Taoist Jue Jian said solemnly, "Why hasn't that woman left Huaxia yet? I clearly found out that she is still in her residence!"
Yang Chen looked in the direction of Rose's home and asked, "Why did she leave Huaxia?"
"This is the rule set by Hongmeng! Aside from the Four Great Clans and people with Ancient Families that are not under the jurisdiction of the Four Great Clans, all cultivators at the Soul Formation level and above in China are under the control of Hong Meng! " Taoist Jue Jian said straightforwardly.
Yang Chen couldn't help but ask, "Dao leader, I don't know why Hong Meng must bring all cultivators above the Soul Formation stage into his jurisdiction and enter the illusionary world. Is it really because of fear of affecting the balance of the world? "
Yang Chen also asked Xiao Zhiqing this question. However, this woman had grown up with Ancient Families since she didn't have a deep understanding of primordial flames. She only roughly knew that it was related to the "Ancient Great Formation" that sealed Zeus.
"It's not a secret, so I don't mind telling you. Do you know that our Hongmeng exists to protect the foundation of China? "
"I've heard of it. Isn't that the final life-saving part?"
"Not really," Taoist Jue Jian said. "All you know is that the situation is crude. The most important foundation that we, grandmist, guard, is the ancient grand formation within grandmist. The number one expert sealed in the formation, Zeus. We, the cultivators of primordial history, more or less, will provide the genuine essence s to the formation at regular intervals to protect its might.
So, in order to prevent the number of cultivators from running out, we, Grandmist, will continuously accept cultivators from the God Transformation Stage and cultivate them within the Grandmist. We will strive to continuously produce higher cultivation levels in order to maintain the formation's power. "
Yang Chen was stunned, he did not expect it to be related to Zeus!
It was no wonder that Hong Meng was so determined to recruit God Transformation Stage cultivators. If that large formation really couldn't hold back because of the lack of genuine essence, and Zeus came out as an expert like Athena, he might really take care of all the cultivators!
After all, the current Chinese cultivators were far inferior to 20,000 years ago.
However, there was another problem that made Yang Chen suspicious …
That ancient array, could it really rely on these weakening cultivators to maintain sealing Zeus for over ten thousand years?
And with Athena's methods, would she really be afraid of those people from the Primordial World?
It was impossible for Athena to be a coward. She definitely had a reason why she didn't dare to act rashly, and so she endured it by scheming in secret.
He always felt that this series of events was a little suspenseful.
"I know you also have Pluto's Divine Spark, but since you have already returned to the Yang Family, you can be considered as one of us in China. If you want to tell your friends in the God Clan, that would also be your freedom, however, it's meaningless." Taoist Jue Jian said complacently.
Yang Chen hurriedly waved his hands, "I was just curious to ask, there's no other meaning."
"Then that would be the best …" Taoist Jue Jian said: "Originally, for the sake of that woman's Yang Family, if she had left China, it would have been considered as an exception and I could have let her go. She was only at the early stage of Soul Formation, so the amount of genuine essence she could provide was limited. Our primordial country does not lack one or two cultivators.
But, if she stays in Hua Xia, if I, Primordial Messenger, don't bring her back, wouldn't that break the rules of a grandmist ten thousand years!? I cannot afford to take on such a heavy responsibility. Today, I must bring her back to Hongmeng! "
Seeing that Absolute Sword wanted to go to Rose's residence, Yang Chen immediately shouted, "Wait a moment, Taoist, why don't we make a deal?"
"Trade?" Taoist Jue Jian frowned and was confused.
"That's right. As far as I know, since you're the current Primordial Messenger, then I'll let you know whether or not anyone else in Hongmeng came out of the illusion, right?"
Taoist Jue Jian nodded, "It should be said that if there are no special circumstances, then the people in Hongmeng will not enter into illusions. If there really is something that comes out, then in order to avoid a misunderstanding, this humble Taoist will be informed."
"That's right." Yang Chen laughed evilly, "Leader, can't you just let my woman stay by my side to make it more convenient for me? In any case, even if the Taoist didn't take her away, the people of Hongmeng wouldn't know.
If anyone else comes out of their hallucinations, the Taoist will tell me and I will immediately bring my woman out of China. "
Taoist Jue Jian coldly snorted and said, "I would never do something like secretly blaspheming Primordial Messenger's position!"
Looking at the Daoist Priest's cold face, Yang Chen snickered. Unknowingly, he had already taken out a fragrant pill that emitted a faint colored halo …
Taoist Jue Jian, who was still looking up, immediately lowered his head. He stared at the dazzling pill in Yang Chen's hand with his eyes wide open and swallowed his saliva.
"Is this the pill?"
"Your eyesight isn't bad, it's precisely the Danxia Pellet. It can help cultivators with God Transformation Stage to quickly convert spirit energy into genuine essence, increase their cultivation speed by ten times in a few days, and also remove the impurities in the spirit energy. A genuine mid quality spirit pellet."
This pill was Yang Chen's newly concocted middle graded pill, so it was of no use to him. But to cultivators of the God Transformation Stage, it did not have an ordinary effect.
From Xiao Zhiqing, he understood that these primordial cultivators were much poorer than the Ancient Families's people, especially the Yellow Rank cultivators. It was not bad to have low rank pill, the middle rank was already considered to be "rich"!
High Ranked pill? It was simply unimaginable!
Yang Chen had grasped this mindset and attracted Taoist Jue Jian with only one pill.
"Daoist leader, I won't let you help me for nothing. I'm just a little bit selfish. I hope to build a friendly relationship with you. Anyway, it's not that I want you to betray Hongmeng, it's just a small favor between friends …" This, should not be a big deal, right? "
Yang Chen waved the pill in front of Taoist Jue Jian and asked with a smile.
Taoist Jue Jian stared at the lustrous and gorgeous pill. With one look, he could tell that the refiner was a grandmaster level character. The spirit energy of the pill was contained and its effects were definitely extraordinary.
"Why do you have this mid-grade Spirit Pill?" Taoist Jue Jian asked in alarm.
Yang Chen was prepared. "The Taoist doesn't know that I am free to enter and exit Huaxia. Naturally, I can gather a lot of alchemy materials." Yan Feiling from the Grandmist Yan Clan used to stay in my Yang Family for many years. Before we parted, she gave me a set of alchemy methods and a small sized furnace. I just refined a few pill …
Otherwise, how did you think my cultivation could grow so fast? "
Taoist Jue Jian pondered for a moment. Indeed, before he left the illusion realm, he heard that the youngest daughter of the top heaven stage Elder Yan Wu Chen, Yan Feiling, had returned to Hongmeng. And she had indeed been hiding her Yang Family in the past … With the Yan Clan's capabilities, having a folk remedy and a small sized furnace, it was not surprising. Looks like this little brat was speaking the truth.
If he hid Rose for him, it wasn't impossible, nor was it dangerous. He could also obtain pill s to increase his cultivation. If he was lucky, he would be able to enter the Tribulation Stage from the late stage of Soul Formation.
Taoist Jue Jian thought for a moment and said, "Using such a small favor to make me do such a deceptive thing is really too much."
The meaning was very clear, one pill was too little.
Yang Chen sneered in his heart. Bribery is something that even the gods can't escape, not to mention the cultivators.
"Long time no see, the materials needed to refine this pill are scarce, and it's not easy to obtain. I also rarely have the ability to refine such a high quality pill." Yang Chen had a pained look on his face as he unwillingly took out another pill and a few low-grade Spirit Pivot pills, "Dao Leader, there's only so much left. How about I send you a few every year?"
Taoist Jue Jian took the pill from Yang Chen's hands and hid it immediately. He spoke without changing his expression, "Young Master Yang, you can't treat me like a beggar."
