Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

280,000, a whopping 400 information streams each earning 700 Deep Red Points, knocked Yi Chen out cold in an instant.

Old Yi had never fought such a wealthy battle before.

Although there was a brief moment where he was "baffled," looking at his current huge balance of Deep Red Points, Yi Chen felt it was all worth it.

With this in mind, Yi Chen's gaze towards Lin Luo became even more amiable.

Daoist Lin Luo not only had attractive legs, but was also an exceedingly good person!

The Deputy Director from Great Qin's Ministry of Justice, though tender and delicate, had diverse methods; her offensive prowess was so formidable that even he dared not underestimate it. Lin Luo's contribution to the killing of the Purple Crystal Demi-human couldn't be erased.

Moreover, "tender and delicate" must be compared to someone; compared to ordinary cultivators, Lin Luo's physique was still something average cultivators could not even aspire to rival.

After all, Yi Chen had absorbed two-thirds of the destructive power of the dark evil blade with his sturdy physique and the Heavenly Scourge High Above move, but the remaining third was not something just anyone could withstand.

"Hidden Dragon Taoist, have you already condensed the embryonic form of Dao Mastery, stepping into that profound mystery of mysteries?" Lin Luo's eyes widened as they roamed ceaselessly over Yi Chen's body.

She had a deep understanding of the strength of the crystal wall defense formed by the Purple Crystal Demi-human in the end.

However, that demi-human dissipated into smoke and clouds after five seconds, under the mocking gaze of the Daoist before her.

To kill a person, one must also crush their spirit.

She watched helplessly as her arch-enemy increased their momentum bit by bit, eventually overwhelming and drowning herself.

Even now, Lin Luo couldn't forget the desperate and regretful look in Mu He's eyes at the end.

What he didn't know was that without the Strength-Breaking Realm's five-second charge special ability, Yi Chen couldn't have executed the Heavenly Scourge High Above move to such an extent; Yi Taoist's favorite strategy was to hit stationary targets, taking them down without a peep.

"Embryonic form of Dao Mastery? This humble Daoist is of shallow spirituality and has not perceived such fortune. I only have a little more strength," Yi Chen shook his head, saying a rare truth.

Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile flashed in Lin Luo's purple eyes. She struggled to get up, her fair hand smoothing out the light wrinkles on her stockings as she smiled and said, "Isn't the Daoist already walking on this path? If Daoist Yi's talent is considered shallow in spirituality, then Lin Luo would be no different from a stubborn stone."

"It's indeed rare for non-humans to achieve Dao in this world; the path is fraught with danger. Daoist, your achievements to this day are truly admirable. Perhaps one day, like the Military Leader, you will transcend and leave this realm; it's not impossible."

The current Yi Chen was no longer the ignoramus he once was; he knew that the Military Leader was the only non-human among the powerful beings who had transcended the Human Realm. However, he had a vague awareness that his Dao differed fundamentally from that of the Military Leader.

They were not the same.

The Military Leader, though unconventional in his methods, had not yet stepped out of the traditional cultivational mold of this realm; in other words, the Military Leader was still too conservative.

It's like a rebellious son born to a couple is different from other well-behaved eldest children; at the core, he is still following the human template. At most, it's a difference between a Hobbit and a Neanderthal.

But Yi Chengzi was different. He, having merged his past world's worldview with various True Laws of the Human Realm, had already become an oddity.

Like Tyson and Teylor, they might look 50% alike, but in reality, could they be the same?

This is like the relationship between a feather duster and a stick – seemingly related, but in reality, they only share a "feather" of a connection.

Thanks to the fame of Liu, Yi Chengzi had read some of "The Three-Body Problem" and some other hard science fiction in his previous life...

If he had enough Deep Red Points, he wondered what else Deep Red could bring to life for him.

Pure Yang Path combined with the two-dimensional foil Path; he wondered if there was potential.

Anyway, he was now sprinting on the development path of the 18th generation Pure Yang biological technology furnaces. It looked quite good; though chaotic, it certainly seemed more promising than mixing Shaolin martial arts with singing and dancing.

At this moment, Yi Chen felt somewhat fortunate that he had chosen the Pure Yang Path as the foundation of his True Law. Had he been cultivating the puppet techniques of the Hidden Dragon Temple and been engaged in artifact refining...

Hiss~

War signals arise above the Human Realm; the Taoist morphs into the mighty Shockwave!

Abnormalities in heaven and earth, chaos in the five realms; the Taoist transforms into a star-destroying vessel!

Minor Five Elements Star Destroying Cannon, prepare at level one!

Great Five Elements Star Destroying Cannon, charging energy! Target, Asna, target locked! Target locked! Fire! The target has disappeared!

The Universe's Divine Light Phase Array Radar, full power; activate, detecting Bo Xun deep in the river of time, Bo Xun detected~ The Universe Elegy ready to launch, 3, 2, 1, boom!

Damn!

What is this cybernetic Deep Red cultivation style; it seems to have some potential too...

Shaking his head, Yi Chen pressed down the jumbled thoughts in his mind; no matter how far his Pure Yang Lianji True Method would ultimately lead him, he always believed that he was but an ordinary Daoist of the Human Race's Hidden Dragon Temple.

Even if someone like Road was transformed to that extent, sprouting large pendulums from the back with rows of sharp, neatly aligned teeth, they still count as human; Yi Chengzi, who is more anthropomorphic than Road, certainly has every reason to be considered one.

"Alright then, Daoist Lin Luo, how about we rest for a day before making plans? After consecutive battles, this humble Daoist is also a bit tired," Yi Chen suggested considerately, looking at Lin Luo, whose face was as pale as paper.

In the last furious battle, Lin Luo recalled the Yin Yang Divine Wind Cover, transforming it into a black and white radiant shield that enveloped both herself and Yi Chen, rather than selfishly protecting only herself for her safety. Yi Chen acknowledged this favor.

At the very least, it proved that Daoist Lin Luo was a decent person, easy to get along with.

With this in mind, Yi Chen walked to the site of the Purple Crystal Demi-human's annihilation and picked up a finger bone from the ground, slipping off a storage ring that was the only thing left behind by Mu He in this world. The fact that this finger bone, still bearing the storage ring, remained was entirely due to Yi Chen's careful planning.

"However, if Daoist Lin Luo's cultivation body can still hold up, why don't we divide the contents of this Purple Crystal Demi-human's storage ring first?"

Cultivation is not just about fighting; it's also about human relations and worldly wisdom.

Yi Chen decided to share the treasures acquired from within the Purple Crystal Demi-human's storage ring

The woman Lin Luo seemed to have great potential and significant authority in her hands. Establishing a good relationship with her could never be wrong.

"This...."

Convinced by Yi Chen's insistence, Lin Luo eventually agreed to split the spoils fifty-fifty. When one owes a favor for the gifts received, their relationship naturally progresses.

Since we're friends, you certainly can't refuse a favor when asked, right? At the very least, you should point out a clear path.

It's said that the Heavenly Qi of the Earthly Divine Gates was one of the headline prizes specially prepared by Great Qin for this Great Qin Legal Assembly. We're all friends here, and since Daoist Lin Luo is a key official of Great Qin, it wouldn't be excessive to use some connections to let Yi Taoist have a look or even a whiff of the "Heavenly Qi of the Earthly Divine Gates," would it?

All achievements are a result of human effort. Sometimes, the skill in winning a game lies outside the chessboard. If you don't even dare to think about it, how can you succeed?

Yi Taoist has always been bold.

This Great Qin Legal Assembly carries significant and symbolic importance, and will undoubtedly provoke sects and isolated cultivators to give it their all.

Even with Yi Chen's current level of cultivation, he couldn't guarantee he would come out on top.

But once his thoughts broadened, he saw the multiple paths to success. By resorting to stealth, wouldn't he save decades of detours?

With this thought, Yi Chen's smile became even warmer, and his shadow's greedy tail began to wag eagerly.

We're friends after all; a fifty-fifty split is a must. Anything else would be unacceptable.

Soon, four treasure boxes were laid out before Yi Chen and Lin Luo.

With a flick of his fingers, a black and white illusionary shield suddenly appeared, isolating the inside from the outside. Under their expectant gazes, Yi Chen opened the first treasure box.

Quickly, the face of the purple-haired girl turned bright red, while Yi Chen's expression turned dark.

The contents of the first box were various styles of belly bands, thin silk stockings, all brightly colored and garish, the common thread being that they all used very little fabric.

"Shit! How do you split this fifty-fifty? How is this poor Daoist supposed to foster relations with Daoist Lin Luo and make her owe a favor?"

At that moment, Yi Chen's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he opened the second treasure box.

Inside was a long whip with a barbed end, a fox tail with a round ball, a pair of red candles, several binding rope magic artifacts, a few small clamps…

Looking at Lin Luo, whose face looked like she could bleed, Yi Chen felt numb. How could he offer her these?

He dared to divide it up, but would Daoist Lin Luo dare to accept it?

Dammit!

Mu He, you scoundrel, how dare you sabotage my plans!

After closing the second box, Yi Chen silently opened the third one, inside of which were more than a dozen jade bottles containing an unknown oily liquid with a strange and captivating scent, labeled 'Tempting Silk Godly Water.'

This was finally something normal.

Appearing to be medicinal in nature, the bottles were examined by Yi Chen and Lin Luo and found to possess a considerable toxicity, capable of bewitching and causing hallucinations, although its exact application was unknown.

They persevered, and upon opening the fourth box, they found a jade scroll lying quietly inside. The cover clearly inscribed with six large characters: 'Seductive Chaos Secret Technique.'

Yi Chen and Lin Luo exchanged glances, and a hint of joy appeared on their faces at last—they had finally found a real treasure.

Both of them were quite curious about this secret technique from the Floral Goddess Sect that could control cultivators from the Dao Zhen realm, even with its many limitations. Great Qin was no less interested.

After opening the secret scroll and reading it carefully, Yi Chen felt numb.

This secret technique required a peculiar constitution called the Seductive Body to be cultivated, and it was then that he finally understood the purpose of the 'Tempting Silk Godly Water' from the third treasure box.

It was intended to be smeared within a woman's intimate chamber.

"Hiss, such a vicious and poisonous technique, to lay poison within a woman's body!"

In that moment, Yi Chen's eyes were as wide as brass bells. He turned to look at Daoist Lin Luo, and for a time, the two of them were silent, each taking a moment to not make a sound.
