Chapter 286: Given the circumstances

Yan Buji took a deep breath: "May I ask, senior, what business do you have with me?"

Just a bit curious how you were noticed the other night; turns out your spiritual sense had already reached Foundation Establishment Stage... oh wait, you still have True Essence on you? You practice Martial and Law Dual Cultivation? Impressive, that magical power and True Essence can coordinate like this, not something Qing Shan Sect could teach, that old thing isn't so kind!" the youth laughed.

He was seen through again!

Yan Buji was utterly speechless, saying: "Yes, my Martial Dao Profound Skill has a questionable background; I dare not show it before people. Senior, you can see through it, so you must be a major figure above Golden Core Stage, right?"

A mere Golden Core is nothing.

Nascent Soul Stage True Lord?!

Yan Buji instead relaxed a bit.

Whether I live or die depends on their mood; what can I do about it?

Senior, I... I'm just a minor cultivator; you came looking for me... not to probe my background, right?

Hmm, I originally wanted to kill you and be done with it, but since you show signs of mastering Heaven Gate Law, I can let you off; however, these few days you must help me with tasks.

Senior, just say what you need; I will certainly do my utmost!

Good, I want you to return to Qing Shan Sect immediately after mastering Heaven Gate Law. Of course, you must keep this thing on you; when that old thing... that is, Qing Shan Sect Sect Leader Wang Qingshan finds you, just take it out and give it to him." The youth said, and a mass of flesh suddenly appeared in his palm.

Looking at that strange mass of flesh, Yan Buji's expression changed: "Abnormal Beast?!"

Don't worry, it won't be triggered to take your life until the time comes.

Yan Buji accepted it with a bitter expression.

By the way, senior, since you want me to quickly master this Heaven Gate Law, could you give me some guidance?

You sure know how to seize an opportunity. Fine, I'll just briefly explain.

The youth sat down and said lightly: "Heaven Gate Law itself was created as a method to reach the Nine Heavens, devised by the sages of ten thousand years ago. However, Heaven Gate Law has been improved over the ages, and with the Nine Heavens hiding seven of them, leaving only the existence of day and night, the difficulty of cultivation is no longer as great as before."

Yan Buji widened his eyes.

This difficulty isn't considered great, huh?

Although this method only has the ability of spatial teleportation, it is also a good way for cultivators newly entering the Spatial Dao to understand the Spatial Dao's method. Take a look at this....

As he spoke, the youth raised his hand and summoned a pitch-black great door; Yan Buji stood frozen in place.

Feeling the magical power fluctuations above, they were not much different from his own cultivated Void Escape Gate, but the destination seemed different, causing his summoned door to be black while his own cultivated one was white.

This is the Heaven Gate Law we generally cultivate, though its destination is the Youming Jie. Your Heaven Gate Law, I suspect its destination lies within a Lingyu.

Lingyu?

Heaven Gate Law isn't that difficult, because it only has this ability of teleportation. As long as you can determine the spatial node, then modify the node via Heaven Gate Law, and re-practice Heaven Gate Law once, you can teleport there. If it were the ancient version of Heaven Gate Law, just remembering the spatial node after mastering it would allow free teleportation, unrestricted by most prohibitions—that would truly be impressive." the youth laughed.

Senior, then how should I practice this Heaven Gate Law?

You talked half a day without hitting a point; how are you letting me practice?

The youth chuckled: "You can realize that Heaven Gate Law is not about internal circulation, but external circulation is enough; it's just a matter of these few... rotation issues, as long as..... it'll do."

Yan Buji suddenly understood: "Oh, I get it now, thanks for your guidance, senior!"

The youth rose and said: "Then cultivate well. By the way, which lineage does your Martial Dao Profound Skill come from?"

Yan Buji thought: "It seems... a technique left behind by a senior called Da Mo Wu Ji."

Wu Ji? That guy... yeah, that's him. But you probably also cultivated other profound skills, right? Good, good, good—Martial Dao is like that; cultivating someone else's profound skill leads nowhere. If you, practicing Martial and Law Dual Cultivation, can break through the Golden Core Realm, your future is limitless." The youth laughed, turned, and vanished inside the room.

Yan Buji felt the moment the restrictions inside the room disappeared, his face suddenly darkened.

Damn, they actually want me to take an Abnormal Beast to the sect? Isn't that suicide?!

Yan Buji's eyes shifted, he sighed helplessly.

From now on, do I have to drift about in the Youming Jie?

However, mastering that Heaven Gate Law seems able to reach a Lingyu as well; if the Sect Leader dies at the hands of this Abnormal Beast.....

Perhaps there is still a way out.

Given the circumstances, Yan Buji feels no psychological burden playing the double-crosser.

However, if Wang Qingshan is capable, defecting is also not impossible.

They are all Nascent Soul Stage; even though I, a Martial and Law Dual Cultivation Foundation Establishment Stage, have a promising future, I still can't match the current life-or-death situation.

Meanwhile.

The youth sat in a tavern; beside him, Wang Jie was covered in wounds but dared not speak a word.

How did the matter go?

My lord, rest assured, everything has been arranged! If it weren't for the incident the other night, I would have....

Hmph.

Wang Jie's face turned pale; he immediately knelt: "Your subordinate is useless, my lord, please forgive me!"

What does Xuanqian Dao say?

The spy reported that the abnormal zone guarded by Xuanqian Dao indeed had problems, and it seems a few Golden Core Stage Elders were lost!

The youth pinched his chin: "Taking advantage of the situation, Xuanqian Dao wouldn't dare leave the abnormal zone's issue unattended; this gives me an opportunity!"

Wang Jie flattered: "My lord, your strategies are miraculous; this journey to the Imperial Capital will surely succeed!"

You don't need to worry about other matters; now go and keep an eye on a disciple of Qing Shan Sect named Huang Hao. Make sure he returns safely to Qing Shan Sect. If he happens to escape from Qing Shan Sect, kill him.

Yes!

Wang Jie didn't dare ask further, but upon hearing of a Qing Shan Sect disciple, he also recalled the humiliation from a few days ago and wished he could go kill those Qing Shan Sect disciples right now.

However, the lord's orders come first; Wang Jie dare not be careless, for if he ruins the lord's plan, he will be the one to suffer.

Thinking this way, Wang Jie is quite interested in that Qing Shan Sect disciple Huang Hao; although he too is a dead man, being able to devote himself to the lord until death would be considered a fitting end.

My lord, does Huang Hao need anything else done to him? For example, giving him some....

No need; if you do too much, that old fellow will notice. I currently need Qing Shan Sect to be immobilized; best is to cause chaos." The youth said lightly.

Also, you keep an eye on this Huang Hao for me; if I ever hear that after he went to Green Mountain Gate he came out alive, then you....

Wang Jie hurriedly bowed and clasped his hands, saying: "Subordinate will surely exert all efforts; if this person escapes, subordinate will definitely bring his head to see you!"

"Hmph, go away."

"Yes!"
