Chapter 1004: Everyone Has Become an Expert

The demon cave appeared inside our own home, making the remaining matters much easier to handle; even some means that were originally not easy to use can now be employed.

Over the next period, the area around the demon cave was crowded every day, with disciples of the Three Holy Lands constantly coming and going.

Everyone was busy setting up traps.

I don't know where this trend came from, but nowadays human cultivators' research into traps is unstoppable.

According to everyone, only a fool would fight you head‑on when you could scheme against them.

In this regard, Dao Yi Shengdi remains unmatched, standing out above all others.

Their ideas and methods for setting traps are so advanced that others can't even catch up.

Well, members of various sects gathered together, watching them set traps, and a disciple of Dao Yi Shengdi frowned and said.

"You can't set it up like that."

"Senior Brother, what advice do you have?"

"Plain talisman seals or formation disks are too limited in use; you should find a way to combine them."

"Can it really be done that way?"

"Of course, and there's also your demon‑binding rope."

"Can the demon‑binding rope also be combined?"

"Certainly, who said you can't? Stick plenty of talisman seals on the demon‑binding rope and its power will be greater."

"Holy shit, it can really be done like that?"

Combining the demon‑binding rope with talisman seals—this is the first time anyone has heard of such a trick, and it's actually playable.

Seeing everyone look astonished, Xu Jie, Shen Xian and the other inner disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi who were busy setting traps all shook their heads and laughed helplessly.

These people simply don't study enough in daily life; a demon‑binding rope plus talisman seals is just a petty trick—this is old hat for Dao Yi Shengdi.

Dao Yi Shengdi's trap‑setting methods have already been updated several times.

Even Qing Shi's personal magic treasure has already begun mass production.

Although it falls far short of Qing Shi's personal treasure, hooking ordinary demon‑race food ingredients is more than sufficient.

"Demon‑race spies are cautious, so we must make our traps more concealed; even if the location is poor, we can just use the Heavenly Hook."

The Heavenly Hook is the name Dao Yi Shengdi gave this treasure; combined with Qing Shi's secret technique, it is extremely useful.

Without exaggeration, this hooking technique is now a required course in Dao Yi Shengdi.

Qing Shi didn't hold back either; he had already placed it in the Holy Land Technique Pavilion for disciples to study freely.

"Don't worry, we know about this."

"Then that's fine."

To welcome the incoming food supplies, the human side has made thorough preparations.

First, disciples from the various sects form teams according to the plan.

Each team need not be large—just five to ten people—but every team must include at least one disciple of Dao Yi Shengdi.

After witnessing the divine hooking skill of a Dao Yi Shengdi disciple, they instantly became highly sought after.

Every day you can see many disciples begging to team up with a Dao Yi Shengdi disciple.

"Junior Brother, you haven't joined a team yet, have we? We already have seven people; how about joining our team?"

"But Senior Brother, I'm only a menial disciple."

A menial disciple of Dao Yi Shengdi looked at the senior brother inviting him; from his attire, this person was an inner‑door disciple of Yunluo Holy Land.

An inner‑door disciple asking a menial disciple to team up is just absurd.

However, that inner‑door disciple of Yunluo Holy Land didn't care at all; he merely asked how the man's hooking technique cultivation was.

"Junior Brother, your hooking technique…"

"Don't blame me, Senior Brother—I'm dull and can't compare to other senior brothers; my hooking technique is only just barely at minor accomplishment."

"Minor accomplishment? That's enough, enough. Junior Brother, how about joining our team? I guarantee you'll profit handsomely."

A minor‑accomplishment hooking technique is already sufficient; the main point is that there are few Dao Yi Shengdi disciples left now, and a team without one would be at a great disadvantage.

Who could have imagined that Dao Yi Shengdi disciples would one day be fiercely fought over?

Even a menial disciple going out is now quite popular.

However, there are also unpopular people—namely Yun Xiantai, mainly because he hasn't learned Qing Shi's hooking technique.

"Brother Yu Mo, we've settled this—when the time comes, the three of us will form a team."

"Brother Wang Man, this time we're counting on you."

"Brother Yuan Cang, you just need to hook people; we'll handle the rest."

At the Dao Yi Shengdi outpost, the elders of Yunluo Holy Land and Yaochi Holy Land came over, enthusiastically surrounding Yu Mo, Wang Man, and Yuan Cang and chatting nonstop.

As for Yun Xiantai, he was simply left aside, ignored by everyone.

"I say you're going too far—I at least…"

"Don't speak—anyone who can't even use the Heavenly Hook, I truly don't know how you became an elder."

You................

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Qingfeng cut him off, making Yun Xiantai grind his teeth in anger.

"What's wrong with not knowing the Heavenly Hook? If you can't use it, you can't be an elder of Dao Yi Shengdi."

But in everyone's mind, not knowing the Heavenly Hook truly means you're unworthy to be an elder of Dao Yi Shengdi.

"If you can't even use the Heavenly Hook, what can you do?"

Yun Xiantai was seething inside, wondering why he hadn't bothered to practice the Heavenly Hook back then.

Feeling regretful, that night Yun Xiantai sought out the four elders in charge of the Technique Pavilion.

"Uncle, you're looking for me?"

The Fourth Elder was a disciple of Yuan Cang; upon seeing Yun Xiantai, he performed a respectful salute. Hearing those words, Yun Xiantai hesitated and said.

"That He Yun, do you have that Sky Hook............."

Huh???

I had thought Senior Uncle summoned me for something, but after all this fuss it's just for the Sky Hook method.

As a technique now widespread in Dao Yi Shengdi, He Yun, as the chief elder overseeing the Technique Pavilion, naturally possesses an expanded copy.

Hearing that, He Ming nodded and said.

"I have it, but Senior Uncle you.........."

"It's nothing, just feeling curious; if you have it, leave an expanded copy for me to casually look at."

"That's naturally no problem."

"Given Yun Xiantai's status, requesting an expanded copy of the Sky Hook method is naturally not a big deal."

"He Yun readily left behind an expanded copy."

"But when leaving, his complexion looked somewhat strange; this Senior Uncle also said he had the cultivation of a Great Emperor, even two minor realms higher than Shīzūn and them—so what would he need the Sky Hook method for?"

"He Yun naturally didn't know; Yun Xiantai was doing this out of anger."

"After He Yun left, Yun Xiantai looked at the expanded copy of the Sky Hook method in his hand and angrily said."

"Hmph, a bunch of old fogies who look down on people, this emperor tells you: thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully the old and poor; once I master this Sky Hook method, I will surely make you look at me differently."

"Today you ignore me; tomorrow I will make you unable to rise to my level."

"It's just a minor Sky Hook method; with Yun Xiantai's talent, it's nothing to easily obtain."
