Chapter 487: A Game of Chess, the Ultimate Seal!

Chapter 487: A Game of Chess, the Ultimate Seal!

In the Great Qian Dynasty, the Imperial Capital was like a legendary immortal realm, vast and ethereal.

In the four directions of this immortal domain, a massive Azure Dragon formed from the gathering of endless fortune energy encircled the entire capital, its tail seemingly stretching beyond the horizon.

With each breath, the Azure Dragon exhaled, and divine beasts materialized, roaming freely in the sky among the clouds.

The Fortune Dragon's manifestation!

This was the profound foundation of an unparalleled imperial dynasty, and it was also the only other Ultimate Primordial in the Nine Sun Grand World.

At this moment, within the capital...

In a small courtyard filled with peach trees, a young man was indulging in wine beneath the shade of a peach tree.

"Excellent wine! Wonderful wine!"

With each sip, he couldn't help but praise the drink, causing the peach tree beside him to sway as if agreeing with his delight.

After a while...

The courtyard gate creaked open, and an elderly man with a solemn expression entered.

He approached the young man, but even as he drew near, the youth remained immersed in his drunken state, showing no reaction.

The old man's gaze slightly darkened, and he spoke up, "Qian Feng Daoist, you're in high spirits."

Upon hearing this, the peach tree stopped swaying, and the young man opened his slightly hazy eyes, focusing on the elder before him.

His eyes clearing slightly, the youth exclaimed with joy, "It's Sima Daoist! Please, sit and enjoy this Peach Blossom Wine with me!"

As he spoke, he reached out, and a luminescent wine cup materialized in the air, into which he poured his peach blossom wine.

"Sima Daoist, please have a drink!"

The youth pushed the cup towards the elder, then eagerly awaited his response.

Sima Shi sighed softly, took the cup, and drank it in one go. He then sat down beside the youth.

"That Extra-Terrestrial Primordial acted so domineering, seizing eighteen Primordials in one day and killing five Primordials, including Lingxu Daoist."

"With such audacity, if Qian Feng Daoist doesn't take action, I fear the Great Qian Dynasty will be in peril!"

The old man's voice, which had been solemn upon entering, remained low and steady.

The youth's eyebrows slightly arched, and he asked in surprise, "Hasn't Sima Daoist been taken captive?"

There were thirty-three Primordials in the Nine Sun Grand World, twenty-four of whom were in the Great Qian Dynasty. Among them, five were from the royal family, and nineteen from other noble houses.

The Sima Shi before him was the Primordial-level cultivator of the Sima family.

Sima Shi's chest rose and fell slightly, and even with the cultivation of a Primordial, he struggled to contain his anger.

But seeing the youth before him, the only Ultimate Primordial in the Great Qian Dynasty, he forcibly suppressed his rage.

He forced a smile and said, "I was just joking. Since I've come to the capital, that Extra-Terrestrial Primordial won't dare to show up so easily."

Yuwen Yue chuckled softly, finished the wine in one gulp, then smacked his lips and said, "How can you be sure he won't dare to come?"

The youth turned his head, his eyes bright and clear, showing no signs of intoxication.

Sima Shi's eyebrows furrowed.

The Ultimate Primordial was the strongest force in the Nine Sun Grand World. If that Extra-Terrestrial Primordial could even suppress an Ultimate Primordial, then they could only await their demise.

"Qian Feng, are you saying that the Extra-Terrestrial Primordial's cultivation is also at the Ultimate Primordial level?"

Sima Shi asked cautiously.

Yuwen Yue smiled, stood up, broke a peach wood branch, and began stroking it thoughtfully, his eyes reflecting deep contemplation.

In truth, even he wasn't entirely sure what cultivation level that Extra-Terrestrial Primordial was at.

If it was the Ultimate Primordial level, the methods he displayed didn't seem that powerful.

But if it wasn't, this person who appeared and disappeared without a trace, even he couldn't locate, which didn't seem like an ability an ordinary Primordial would possess.

Yuwen Yue reached out, and a mirror fragment appeared in his hand, emitting a strong Daoist aura, as if the Primordial. Perhaps it was related to the 'Azure Heaven Mirror' fragment?

With this thought, he looked at Sima Shi before him and said calmly, "Among the eighteen Primordials, only Lingxu and the others were unharmed."

"If he finds you and you can't resist, just hand over the 'Azure Heaven Mirror' fragment to save your life."

Sima Shi's eyes flashed with reluctance, but after a moment of hesitation, he nodded in resignation.

With both Ultimate Primordials speaking like this, if he continued to resist, it would be like seeking death.

So, he stood up, faced the youth, and bowed respectfully before speaking, "Qian Feng, I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, he turned to leave.

"Wait."

The youth's voice echoed again.

Sima Shi's eyes flickered with understanding, realizing that the youth behind him had changed his mind and was about to take action against the Extra-Terrestrial Primordial. He quickly turned around.

Then, he saw the peach tree in the courtyard tremble, and the youth's focused gaze.

"With a distinguished guest present, Sima Daoist, please remain behind me for now."

The youth spoke again.

Sima Shi was startled, but his expression remained calm as he nodded and moved behind the youth.

At this moment—

Knock knock knock! The sound of knocking came from the courtyard gate.

Sima Shi's gaze turned towards the sound.

Yuwen Yue, as if expecting this, looked towards the gate and calmly said, "Please come in."

Creak~

The courtyard gate slowly opened, and a figure in a golden-patterned black robe entered, immediately catching the attention of the freedom of restrictions, and the desired effect.

"How is this possible?!"

Sima Shi's eyes narrowed, his expression almost betraying his surprise.

For the person who entered was emitting a Middle Realm Primordial aura.

In a single day, eighteen Primordials were eliminated, and five of them were directly killed. How could it be that this person was only a Middle Realm Primordial?

This moment, he dared to come directly to the door, standing before a Primordial Supreme?

At this instant, a storm of emotions surged within him, and compared to the Primordial Supreme, the current Middle Realm Primordial was even more shocking.

Yuwen Yue's expression remained calm, and he gestured towards the person.

"Daoist friend, you've come from afar, and our hospitality may be lacking, so please forgive us."

Qin Zheng nodded, his demeanor open and relaxed, as he sat down opposite the youth, as if he didn't realize he was facing a Primordial Supreme.

"Daoist friend, your methods are impressive. The Azure Dragon is formed from Great Qian's Fortune, and it even has a portion of my power supporting it. Yet, I didn't sense your arrival."

Yuwen Yue pointed towards the sky and continued, "Even if you hadn't deliberately leaked your aura, I wouldn't have noticed your approach."

Behind him, Sima Shi listened, his expression unchanged, but his heart was filled with shock.

Even a Primordial Supreme couldn't sense his presence. No wonder this guy traveled everywhere without the Primordial Supreme taking action. It's not that I didn't want to take action, but I couldn't find his trace. How could I know where to start?"

Qin Zheng shook his head, "It's just a little skill of hiding one's aura, nothing special."

Yuwen Yue nodded, "If your strength were sufficient, you wouldn't need to hide your tracks."

"Now that you've come to our door, do you think you can handle me?"

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed in thought, then he also pointed towards the sky and said, "That Fortune Dragon is formed from Great Qian's Fortune, neither human nor object, quite mysterious."

This answer was like a bull's head and a horse's face, leaving Sima Shi puzzled. But Yuwen Yue, after hearing this, had a more serious expression.

Just then—

Qin Zheng's voice sounded in Yuwen Yue and Sima Shi's ears, "It discovered me."

Yuwen Yue's expression sank slightly, and Sima Shi's heart surged with another wave.

The Fortune Dragon, formed from Great Qian's Fortune, had an extremely high essence, and with the addition of a portion of Primordial Supreme power, it was equivalent to a weak Primordial Supreme.

But after discovering Qin Zheng, it didn't make a sound or send any information to Yuwen Yue.

"It was suppressed the moment it discovered you!" Sima Shi exclaimed, shocked at the power to instantly suppress a weak Primordial Supreme.

Such power, even if it didn't surpass the Primordial Supreme, was definitely on par with a true Primordial Supreme.

A Middle Realm Primordial, with the combat power of a Primordial Supreme! Sima Shi couldn't help but feel incredulous.

Yuwen Yue smiled and said, "So, you think that if you can suppress the Fortune Dragon, you can also suppress a Primordial Supreme:

"Qin Zheng doesn't have such confidence."

He paused, then looked at them and said, "But it's worth a try!"

Buzz!

In an instant, a formless spatial disturbance spread wildly in all directions.

Initially, Sima Shi's face was tense, but Yuwen Yue sensed the essence of Qin Zheng's power, which was indeed that of a Middle Realm Primordial.

So, he didn't stop him.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, this area of the Great Qian Capital was pulled out by the Azure Heaven Mirror, completely isolating it.

Sima Shi didn't sense anything, but Yuwen Yue looked around and asked curiously, "Is this your method of hiding your tracks?"

Isolating an area, and everything within it, no matter how loud, couldn't be heard outside the region.

This was indeed a remarkable ability, but not everyone could achieve such an effect.

So, Yuwen Yue pondered briefly, then continued, "Is it the power of the Azure Heaven Mirror fragment?"

Qin Zheng was taken aback by the question.

Eighteen Primordials had been eliminated, and each of them mentioned 'Primordial Fragment', but only this person in front of him understood the essence and knew it was the Azure Heaven Mirror.

Perhaps HuanYuan Wuji could gain insight into the essence of the Azure Heaven Mirror Fragment and learn more from it.

Qin Zheng nodded calmly and continued, "I, Qin, have come here with no ill intentions. I only seek the Azure Heaven Mirror Fragment that you possess."

Yuwen Yue nodded in understanding and slowly extended his hand, saying calmly, "Then it depends on whether you have the ability to obtain it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the small courtyard instantly transformed into an immense and boundless void.

Within this void stood a colossal divine tree that pierced through the heavens and earth, exuding a dense Dao aura. Each leaf of the tree represented a world of its own.

At this moment, Qin Zheng found himself on this majestic tree, while Yuwen Yue had transformed into a heavenly divine being, reaching down from the tree to strike at Qin Zheng, who seemed as insignificant as an ant.

The overwhelming might was almost too powerful for Qin Zheng to resist, leaving him unable to move as the divine being's palm descended upon him, ready to extinguish his existence.

This was HuanYuan! Qin Zheng once again faced this power unique to HuanYuan, and a sense of awe filled his heart.

HuanYuan!

This realm was almost independent of the HuanYuan realm, far surpassing the strength of the Advanced Realm HuanYuan.

"If you don't use your abilities, I'm afraid you'll fall under my palm."

As Qin Zheng's thoughts echoed, Yuwen Yue's voice reverberated in the void, like a heavenly chorus that shook the soul.

Qin Zheng focused his mind and activated the Virtue Scroll.

Virtue Technique: Sealing All!

A transparent and invisible force swept across the entire void, and the divine tree that connected heaven and earth withered at a visible speed.

Simultaneously, Qin Zheng's figure rapidly expanded, transforming into a towering giant within a few breaths.

He reached out and grasped the divine being's wrist, and as the void trembled with a resounding boom, the divine tree completely withered and vanished, turning to ashes.

At that moment, the void dissipated, and they returned to the small courtyard.

Qin Zheng's extended hand caught Yuwen Yue's palm, gripping his wrist in a stalemate.

Behind Yuwen Yue, Sima Shi's expression had turned extremely solemn.

Although he hadn't entered the previous illusion, he had witnessed HuanYuan's power as Yuwen Yue struck, only to be stopped by Qin Zheng's grip on his wrist.

A Middle Realm HuanYuan actually managed to block a HuanYuan! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

Moreover, in that instant, he could sense that Yuwen Yue hadn't held back.

But the Beyond-the-Sky HuanYuan didn't display the power of HuanYuan! Something is amiss here."

He couldn't fathom the reason.

As the two continued their confrontation, Yuwen Yue looked at Qin Zheng and spoke with gravity, "What technique is this, fellow Daoist?"

Qin Zheng firmly held his wrist and replied calmly, "Just a minor Sealing Technique."

After consuming twenty Virtue Crystals, the Virtue Scroll revealed a new technique—Sealing All!

Sealing All, sealing heaven and earth, suppressing all things, even cultivation could be sealed!

Therefore, Qin Zheng immediately activated the Virtue Technique, sealing his opponent's cultivation to match his own!

This led to the current situation, where no one could defeat him when their cultivation was equal.

After a brief silence, Yuwen Yue spoke, "I can give you what you seek, fellow Daoist."

Qin Zheng smiled slightly, withdrew his hand, and responded, "My apologies for any offense, please forgive me."

Yuwen Yue shook his head, and the light in his hand condensed into a mirror fragment. He pondered and said, "Your Sealing Technique is powerful, but it seems to consume a lot and cannot be used lightly."

Being able to seal the power of a HuanYuan would render cultivation meaningless if this Sealing Technique could be used at will.

Qin Zheng's gaze intensified, and he agreed with Yuwen Yue's assessment. Unlike Walking Across Heavens and Enlightenment Seeking Essence, which only required consuming one Virtue Crystal, Sealing All consumed crystals with each breath, and the consumption varied based on the strength of the target being sealed.

However, based on the current consumption and his accumulation, it should be sufficient to support a forceful kill of a HuanYuan!

If the opponent didn't follow the rules, he would have to take it by force!

At that moment, Yuwen Yue didn't hesitate further. He gently handed over the Azure Heaven Mirror Fragment to Qin Zheng and said with a light laugh, "But I won't test your limits."
