Vol 2 Chapter 499: Seeing Is Believing, Passing with Ease

In the light screen, Mu Qingyan was still speaking eloquently, but Yuanshi and Tongtian had long lost interest in watching.

Tongtian stared at Zheng Fa, seemingly somewhat unconvinced, picking a fight: "So many magical tools, so many techniques, sounds impressive, but who knows the actual details?"

Zheng Fa looked toward Goddess Nüwa.

Goddess Nüwa also nodded lightly and smiled: "After all, we haven't seen it with our own eyes."

Zheng Fa asked Tongtian: "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, how can we see it to believe it?"

"Simple!" Tongtian pointed remotely at a woman below his seat. "You say humans surpass these innate beings, but empty words prove nothing. Why not let my disciple test you?"

He flicked his fingers, sprinkling several points of cyan starlight. The starlight fell on the woman's head, and her expression suddenly became much more lively.

She looked at Zheng Fa with an eager expression, seemingly very eager to regain face for her fellow disciples.

What surprised Zheng Fa was that the aura from this woman should be that of a Scattered Immortal.

"Although you haven't achieved Dao Fruit," Tongtian said as if seeing his surprise, "you do have Scattered Immortal strength. My disciple's cultivation was originally higher than yours, but we won't take advantage of you."

"May I ask this fellow Daoist's esteemed name?"

"I am Turtle Spirit Holy Mother under my master's seat!" the woman said in a crisp voice.

Turtle Spirit Holy Mother?

He was quite familiar with this name, having previously remarked that although the name was somewhat rustic, as Tongtian's personal disciple, her strength shouldn't be underestimated.

He wasn't afraid though - he had fought against Scattered Immortal level opponents before.

Just as Zheng Fa was about to speak, he suddenly heard Yuanshi speak: "Turtle Spirit alone might not be enough. Why not let Huanglong join the fun too?"

"?"

Daoist Yuanshi's gaze shifted, and a middle-aged man in yellow robes walked out from below, moving with dragon-like grace and tiger-like steps. He came before Zheng Fa and bowed to him.

This was probably Huanglong True Person. The aura he emitted now was also roughly at the Scattered Immortal level.

"Elder Brother?" Yuanshi seemed to feel it wasn't enough and looked toward Taishang.

Daoist Taishang shook his head and said softly: "I have no disciples. Would you have me personally intervene?"

Zhunti thought for a moment, looked to his left, and called out: "Dizang! You come and seek advice from Fellow Daoist."

A handsome young monk heard the command, stood up from behind the table, walked to Zheng Fa's left side, and bowed with palms together, his expression curious.

Zheng Fa looked at Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and the other two, then at the unchanged expressions of the Three Saints. He knew full well that this was probably a pre-arranged test.

Now he was the only human in the venue - Creation Daoist and the others couldn't enter. To verify human strength, naturally they could only test him.

On the other hand, he was also the only human who might obtain this opportunity.

Seeing that he seemed to understand, Yuanshi said with a smile: "Their cultivation originally surpassed yours. Even at the same realm, their combat power far exceeds that of ordinary Scattered Immortals, and with three against one, we naturally won't take advantage of you either."

"Three moves," Tongtian added. "If you haven't been defeated after three moves, we'll consider you passed this third question."

It sounded like the requirement wasn't strict - for Zheng Fa, it could even be considered lenient. Not to mention anything else, just relying on those innate divine abilities would make surviving three moves not difficult.

Moreover, these three probably weren't the strongest among the three teachings.

Yuanshi and the others genuinely wanted to test his quality.

But...

Zheng Fa thought for a moment and said: "I have Positive and Negative Five-Colored Divine Light, Great Sun True Fire, Rainbow Transformation Method, Sleeve Universe, and other divine abilities."

The Five Saints looked at him, not understanding why he mentioned this. Zheng Fa continued: "These divine abilities were all bestowed by Heaven's Dao. Ordinary humans can't learn them."

Tongtian seemed to understand, raised an eyebrow and asked: "You plan not to use them?"

"Since the three fellow Daoists suppressed their cultivation, what does it matter if I abandon some divine abilities?" Zheng Fa looked at Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and the other two, his eyes bright. "One copy of the Yellow Court Scripture is enough."

Tongtian grinned widely.

But the expressions of Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and the other two became much more serious, even showing faint anger, as if they felt Zheng Fa was looking down on them.

"Please!"

Zheng Fa said to the three.

Turtle Spirit Holy Mother's voice was cold, no longer as lively as before: "I'll go first!"

The other two stopped in their tracks. It was clear that as disciples of Saints, they had their own pride.

A golden turtle phantom appeared above Turtle Spirit Holy Mother's head, larger than the most majestic peaks of Kunlun.

The golden turtle raised its front foot and pressed down toward Zheng Fa.

The wind howled violently in the hall. Disciples from Buddhist and Daoist traditions scattered from their seats. Zhunti at the head looked at the scene and sighed: "Niece Turtle Spirit is truly a Primordial Chaos rare species. I'm afraid ordinary artifacts can't break her turtle shell."

Tongtian looked somewhat proud: "This troublesome disciple relies solely on her great strength and thick skin. She never takes cultivation seriously, only depending on her bloodline."

Yuanshi glanced at him and snorted: "Wipe that proud look off your face before speaking."

As they spoke, Zheng Fa's body suddenly disappeared in the fierce wind!

"Gone?"

"Where did he hide?"

The observing Buddhist and Daoist disciples were still confused, but Tongtian slightly opened his eyes and turned to look at Nüwa: "Blood-winged Black Mosquito?"

Nüwa also looked surprised: "I just collected it casually."

Only then did everyone see clearly - Zheng Fa hadn't disappeared, but had transformed into a mosquito with blood-red wings and a fierce shape. He didn't hide but instead charged toward the golden turtle phantom, rushing at Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.

Compared to his barely visible size, the golden turtle above Turtle Spirit Holy Mother's head could be called a giant beast, its four feet looking like heaven-supporting pillars.

Yet these four seemingly immensely powerful heaven-supporting pillars waved wildly in the void. The golden turtle seemed to have grown four extra legs, desperately running backward in extreme panic.

Turtle Spirit Holy Mother's expression was extremely tense, staring fixedly at Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa's mosquito body shook again, transforming from one into ten, then from ten into a hundred, finally becoming thousands upon thousands, gathering into a black cloud that enveloped Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.

"I surrender!"

From within the black cloud came Turtle Spirit Holy Mother's somewhat broken voice.

Daoist Tongtian's face was darker than the cloud mass. Yuanshi seemed quite happy and laughed: "This Blood-winged Black Mosquito is Niece Turtle Spirit's natural enemy. Contact means certain death and Dao dissipation. Can't blame the niece."

Tongtian looked at the dispirited Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and shook his head.

Zheng Fa transformed from mosquito back to human form. Riding the momentum of battle, without waiting for Huanglong True Person to make a move, he directly closed in.

Huanglong True Person looked shocked and tried to flee backward.

Zheng Fa's whole body shone with golden light. A Golden-Winged Great Peng emerged from the light, spreading its sharp claws.

Huanglong's speed wasn't slow originally, but the Golden-Winged Great Peng naturally possessed spatial divine abilities. Its wings split open the void, rushing toward Huanglong with an irresistible speed, claws aimed at his chest.

Huanglong looked up and was instantly stiffened by the Golden-Winged Great Peng's fierce aura.

Zheng Fa pressed once on his chest, then flew back, smiling.

The smile disappeared from Yuanshi's face, while Tongtian chuckled: "This Golden-Winged Great Peng also strongly counters the dragon clan. No wonder Nephew Huanglong."

Daoist Yuanshi glanced at him, not wanting to engage, but looked at Zheng Fa and sighed: "The Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Transformations are truly extraordinary. No wonder he's so confident."

Zheng Fa stood in the great hall, hands behind his back, also feeling quite pleased.

This was also the first time the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Transformations had been used in actual combat, with extremely outstanding results.

Compared to using various artifacts and divine abilities, employing this self-created technique gave Zheng Fa a different kind of pleasure.

In his previous magical duels, he had heavily relied on innate divine abilities. Without the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Transformations, he wouldn't dare say he wouldn't use those innate divine abilities.

Innate divine abilities had endless wonderful uses, but against enemies like Turtle Spirit Holy Mother where the strength difference wasn't great, the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Transformations were also extremely effective.

The biggest advantage of this food chain combat method was adapting to local conditions and tailoring approach to the enemy.

Like Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and Huanglong - their strength certainly wasn't just this much. But facing their natural enemies, they couldn't exert even thirty percent of their power, while Zheng Fa's strength could double. With this shift, they were defeated in moments.

More importantly, this technique could be promoted to all disciples, even all humans.

What could better prove humanity's wisdom and achievements, better represent humanity's future, than the Yellow Court Scripture?

Yuanshi and Tongtian couldn't help but look at Zhunti, also curious about what performance his disciple Dizang could show under Zheng Fa's overwhelming dominance.

Zhunti smiled lightly, calm and composed, not worried at all, just watching Dizang.

Dizang's hands were bound inward, his middle fingers standing opposite each other.

Although Dizang's face was young, and he had seen how Zheng Fa effortlessly defeated Turtle Spirit and the other two, his expression was extremely calm.

It seemed he had used the time Zheng Fa dealt with the other two to prepare. Now he said to Zheng Fa: "The benefactor's strength is extraordinary. This humble monk is far inferior."

But Zheng Fa didn't look down on Dizang.

In Primordial Chaos legends, this person didn't show off or attract attention, having little presence, but that didn't mean he wasn't strong!

"This Vajra Seal is a divine ability bestowed by my teacher. It originally required some time to cast, but now this humble monk has indeed taken advantage. Please benefactor evaluate!"

Dizang's words were extremely fast, but faster still was his divine ability. The tips of his opposing middle fingers lit up with golden light that spread outward, forming a golden spherical barrier.

"This is the Womb Realm." Dizang's figure disappeared, but his voice remained steady. "Impervious to all methods, saving suffering souls - it's the foundation of what this humble monk has learned."

Zheng Fa, wrapped in the Womb Realm, felt Sanskrit chanting in his ears, drilling into his mind through his seven orifices.

"This divine ability is indeed difficult to break. As expected of your disciple - quite clever."

Yuanshi's expression was somewhat cold, somewhat annoyed.

Even Tongtian's expression didn't look good.

Dizang's strength was inferior to their two disciples, but this person seemed to have prepared from the start, using the time Zheng Fa dealt with Turtle Spirit and the other two to set up the Womb Realm, even with a hint of sneak attack.

Compared to Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and the other two foolishly charging headfirst into Zheng Fa's Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Transformations, this seemed much smarter.

"The Womb Realm also has diamond-like immovability. If he wants to come out, it will be difficult." Zhunti chuckled. "Otherwise, if disciples from all three schools were defeated in one move, where would we put our old faces?"

Tongtian and Yuanshi exchanged glances, wanting to curse - if Dizang won, they would be even more embarrassed!

They looked toward Zheng Fa and saw him feeling the Womb Realm's membrane, seemingly quite curious.

He looked toward Tongtian and the others outside the Womb Realm and suddenly spoke again: "The Yellow Court Scripture was created by my Jiushan Sect. This is also my Jiushan Sect's most powerful technique."

Tongtian and the others slightly frowned, not understanding what Zheng Fa meant by this. Was he planning to admit defeat?

Creation Jade flew out from his sea of consciousness, its treasure light flowing, transforming into a cyan flying sword.

"Before me, there was a human great ability." Zheng Fa stroked the Qingping Sword transformed from Creation Jade, his spiritual energy circulating according to the "Qingping Sword Canon." "He left behind concepts and techniques that benefited generations for life, which were also absorbed by my Yellow Court Scripture."

The Qingping Sword in his hand moved like swift thunder, fiercely striking the Womb Realm.

The Womb Realm shattered like glass. Zheng Fa walked out from the membrane fragments. Dizang's figure appeared in the void, facing Zhunti with downcast eyes, silent as if ashamed.

Zheng Fa held his sword, standing before the Six Saints, and said: "Humanity isn't just me alone, and not just my sect either."

The Six Saints looked at Zheng Fa, all somewhat silent.

Tongtian suddenly slapped his thigh and laughed: "Originally we said if you weren't defeated in three moves, you'd pass this test. Who would have thought you'd defeat them one move each."

His expression now seemed extremely happy.

Yuanshi glanced at him and asked Zheng Fa: "That move just now - was that the Qingping Sword?"

"Yes."

"Not bad."

Turtle Spirit Holy Mother's expression was extremely tense, staring intently at Zheng Fa.

Yuanshi continued: "Better than what those disciples under Tongtian have learned."

......

Tongtian snorted lightly, seemingly disdainful to bicker with his second brother, and instead looked toward Nüwa: "I'd say, with such achievements already, Junior Sister, why are you still testing him?"

"I'm not."

Nüwa suddenly spoke.

Even Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment, looking at Goddess Nüwa, when he heard her continue:

Nüwa looked at Zheng Fa, her eyes smiling: "If you can understand why I created humanity, if humanity can understand why they become strong, then my creation of humans was right."

Zheng Fa opened his mouth, momentarily at a loss for words.

"Then why did you have us test..."

Tongtian hurriedly asked.

Nüwa wore a sly smile: "Elder brothers have such excellent disciples filling your doors, this junior sister is quite envious. I created humans once and obtained such fine talent - how could I not bring them out to show off?"

Zheng Fa looked at Goddess Nüwa, thinking to himself how absurd this was.

Behind him, Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and the other two looked even more bewildered, as if they'd seen a ghost. Goddess, you had your fun, but what does that make us?

Taishang, who had been mostly silent and detached from the matter, now had to speak: "Ahem, I'm actually quite interested in the Yellow Court Scripture."

......

Outside the Jade Void Palace illusion, Golden-Winged Great Peng and the others hadn't left yet.

Although Golden-Winged Great Peng had suffered badly, this only proved how special those six great abilities were - any fool knew that this world's opportunities were probably in the hands of these six.

If they could catch the eye of those six...

Therefore, even worried about angering the six again, Creation Daoist and the others couldn't bear to leave, wanting only to wait for them to come out and try their luck for opportunities.

After more than half a month, Gu God suddenly looked up.

Everyone followed his gaze upward.

Beyond the cloud layers stood a glorious palace.

The palace doors opened, and figures flew out one by one. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the figures they both feared and desired.

"Patriarch!"

Bailian called out softly, voice excited.

The others glanced at him, hearts quite sour. Now knowing how special these six were, that thigh Bailian had secured was truly enviable.

Zhunti and Jieyin didn't pay attention to this junior. They exited the palace doors but didn't leave, instead pausing in the clouds, looking back.

Then, the Three Pure Ones emerged side by side. The five exchanged a few words, then turned back as if waiting for someone.

Bailian and the others craned their necks and saw Zheng Fa walking together with Nüwa, conversing.

The other Five Saints also became interested, adding to the conversation with various comments.

"This..."

Bailian looked at Zheng Fa chatting and laughing with his own Patriarch, the slightly proud smile on his face gradually disappearing completely.
