Chapter 147: Great Ability

This was a nameless place, with mountains and water, and Yin energy overflowing.

In the air.

Two stars, one black and one white, as huge as the sun and moon, hung high in the sky.

Mr. Yin stood under the black star, his eyes closed, motionless, as if he were a lifeless stone statue.

Time flowed, and I don't know how much time had passed.

He suddenly smiled and said,

"'Youthful and brilliant, fullness allows one to escape ten thousand calamities.

It is just that 'it is difficult for a ten-thousand-calamity Yin spirit to enter sagehood'.

Junior Sister Tao, why must you struggle so hard?

You must know that even if you find 'Taozhi Mountain', it is impossible to become its 'Dharma Master' in eight or ten years.

You have to pay a great price for using this once.

It doesn't matter if I stand here dryly.

But you are consuming gold mountains and silver rivers every moment.

Since you've been seen through, don't be stubborn anymore."

He said a lot, but no one responded; Mr. Yin was not angry and continued to stand there without saying a word.

I don't know how much time had passed, when suddenly the world changed.

The nameless mountains and water turned into a sea island jungle with winter dampness penetrating the bones.

The black and white twin stars in the sky also turned into a bright moon and starlight filling the sky.

An illusory shadow of a lady appeared gracefully in front of Mr. Yin,

"Senior Brother Yin, how did you see that we were trapped in 'Taozhi Mountain' just now?"

"Junior Sister Tao, it seems you have forgotten.

'When performing magic tricks, it is easiest to lead an elephant.' This principle.

I taught it to you when you first entered the sect.

You found 'Taozhi Mountain'.

You played gods and ghosts inside, filling it with two stars as a blindfold, wanting to confuse my mind.

Yet you didn't know that although our Dharma lineages are different, we are both disciples of the 'Dailuo Sect', descendants of the Fengdu Great Emperor.

How could we not have any sensing of our own sect's secret treasure?

However, it was truly far beyond my expectations that you could actually find the Taozhi Mountain of the 'Eastern Ghost Path'.

From now on, 'Enter the Ghost Gate, ascend Taozhi, only then can you see your body'.

I am afraid that ordinary 'A-Superior Great Auspiciousness' cannot withstand much consumption."

"Then, with my current weight, can I cooperate with you, Senior Brother?"

"What does Junior Sister mean by this?"

"Senior Brother Yin, it is true that the current Imperial Noble Consort of Ming Song is your sister born of the same mother.

It is also true that you entered the Dao without leaving your family and pay special attention to kinship and bloodlines.

But everything has a limit.

Prince Zhen, the son of Consort Song Ming, even if he is your closest, closest, and most intimate nephew comparable to your own child.

A true disciple leader of an ancient sect walking in the human world cannot risk his life to help a mortal.

Unless it is..."

"Unless it is what?" Seeing Junior Sister Tao suddenly stop, Mr. Yin asked gloomily.

Junior Sister Tao was silent for a long time before gently spitting out four words,

"Eternal long-living..."

Suddenly, the wind and clouds changed all around, and a torrential rain poured down.

Tens of miles away.

Zhang Gui, who was thinking about beautiful things, felt the hair on his back stand up for no reason.

His whole body shuddered, and he immediately opened his eyes.

Everything in the side room was as usual.

But outside the door, the heavy rain was like weaving.

The sky, which should have been just getting dark according to the time, suddenly turned pitch black.

Seeing this, Zhang Gui reached over the tea table and patted Lü Zhenduan, lowering his voice:

"Staff Officer Lü, what time is it, and Prince Zhen still hasn't granted us an audience.

Has he always been this dilatory in his work?"

"Hey, is it raining outside?

With this rain, the sky is completely dark; I'm afraid it's already past the You hour (5-7 PM).

The Prince didn't have such a dilatory temperament before.

Today there must be, there must be, there must be, sigh, Prince Zhen has actually changed quite a bit these days.

Otherwise, the people around him wouldn't be so unusual.

Just take Little Eunuch Qin; he didn't have this greedy face when he first left the capital."

Lü Zhenduan woke up from a light sleep and answered softly in a daze.

If it were before, no matter how confused he was, he would definitely not have told these things to Zhang Gui.

But now he was so honest.

It was clear that he had truly regarded Zhang Gui as a peer sharing weal and woe, and even truly had some friendship.

Zhang Gui sighed pretentiously,

"Alright, alright.

Great figures emphasize both kindness and prestige, not to mention royal princes.

People have risen to power and emphasize the order of high and low status; you just remember that.

Don't talk nonsense easily.

Just endure it for now; maybe he will call us in a while."

"Caiyang, you are truly like a tiger, untamable, at one moment;

and like a sheep, gentle and temperate, at another, making one unable to fathom you."

Staff Officer Lü shook his head and said upon hearing this.

Zhang Gui smiled slightly and didn't answer, closing his eyes again, making a gesture of closing his eyes to rest.

But in fact, he secretly coordinated his various abilities and began the first phase of planning for the future formal city construction of the 'Heavenly Firmament' Heavenly Craft Opening All Things.

First, the metal cave end would follow the map already prepared by Prince Zhen's 'Traveling Palace'.

Although Mr. Yin did not become the master of the Heavenly Firmament Marvel, he had already set the construction map for a commandery of land at the beginning of the Marvel's activation.

As long as Zhang Gui didn't interfere, everything would follow its natural course.

As for the other end.

It should have been planned by Zhang Gui in advance.

But he didn't have the intention of planning twelve counties and a commandery city all at once.

"One commandery is three hundred and sixty towns and villages, twelve county cities, and one commandery city.

There is no need to be so panicked.

According to the rules of 'Heavenly Firmament'.

One county is thirty towns and villages plus one county city.

In reality, even a 'superior county' has at most eighteen or nineteen villages and three or five towns.

Thirty towns and villages are already very..."

"My lords, the right-hand man of Prince Zhen's 'Traveling Palace'.

Young Master Zhao Pujun has come to see you all."

Suddenly, a sharp voice interrupted Zhang Gui's pondering, making him open his eyes again.

He saw a middle-aged eunuch wearing a half-red and half-white padded jacket, accompanying a handsome scholar in white with blue bags under his eyes, who looked like he hadn't rested well for a long time.

But his expression was full of spring breeze, like a young man who had achieved success early, walking into the side room.

Behind the two were three or five servants serving them, holding umbrellas and burning hand warmers.

"Eunuch Liu is too kind; I am young and ignorant, and cannot deserve the reputation of being Prince Zhen's right-hand man.

I am just a bit closer to the Prince and offer more suggestions.

Coming here to see you all is also to ask for your forgiveness.

Things were busy today, and I originally thought Prince Zhen would be able to spare some time to grant you all an audience.

As a result, I didn't expect..."

As he said this, a noisy shouting mixed with the sound of rain suddenly came from outside,

"Quick, quick, quick, go report, Mr. Yin is back.

Beside him is a nun, no, a female Great Ability.

She says she is the master's junior sister, and her ability is not much different.

Mr. Yin asked the Prince to go out and welcome her personally..."

"With ability comparable to Mr. Yin, that would also be an 'A-Superior Great Auspiciousness' figure.

At a time like this, she can truly be called a Great Ability!"

"She has truly risen to power, risen to power!

The Prince just wanted to teach the barbarians on Xianrong Island a good lesson, and a capable person came to help.

Doesn't this sound like a story from a legendary book..."
