Chapter 437 - Teleportation Golden Tablet (1/2)

Zhong Yue smiled but didn't give an answer immediately. Instead, he said, "I'll consider it."

Shang Qing sighed. He hid his hands in the sleeves, and his clothes fluttered in the breeze, he said regretfully, "I really do not want to be Senior Martial Brother Zhong's enemy in the Returning Ruins."

Zhong Yue then laughed, his clothes also fluttered in the wind, and he said, "So do I. You can take your hands out from your sleeves already."

However, Shang Qing didn't listen, and he suddenly bowed, saying with a smile, "Since Senior Martial Brother Zhong doesn't want to, then I will not force you either."

Zhong Yue sidestepped over in front of Qiu Jin'er, he clasped his hands and replied, "Thank you for being considerate."

Krong——

A blast of rumbling thunder came from the two young men and shocked those on the Cloud Stage. The totem patterns surged out from Zhong Yue and Shang Qing's body, forming chains of totem patterns around them that collided over hundreds of times in just the blink of an eye!

A light flashed across Shang Qing's eyes, and just as he was going to take his hands out from the sleeves, Zhong Yue sneered and cast out the divine third eye.

Immediately, a surge of killing intent engulfed Shang Qing in the middle, causing his heart to skip a beat. Shang Qing then quickly retreated, but his hands were still in the sleeves. He smiled and said, "Senior Martial Brother Zhong, if we happen to meet in the Returning Ruins, please spare me a life."

"That can be done." Zhong Yue put down his hands and disarmed his divine third eye, he answered politely.

Qiu Jin'er then asked, "Senior martial brother, why did he attack you?"

"He wanted to test my strength," Zhong Yue watched Shang Qing leave, and he then mumbled softly, "I didn't accept his request for an alliance, and so he wanted to check whether or not I am a threat to him. Another thing is that he was trying to take me down, he had hid his hands in the sleeves and prepared his skills and soul weapons. If I was inattentive for even a second, he would have gone all out. And his attacks were directed at you, if I became preoccupied with protecting you, then I would've fallen into his traps."

Qiu Jin'er was shocked while Zhong Yue continued, "This man is a sly and cunning one, we must keep our guard up against him. I did not accept his request because I realized that the gods are not as simple as we initially thought. With Shang Qing as the child of the Shang Zheng God, his intelligence and tactics should be above the others'. I didn't want to accept his offer before I got a better handle on who he is and where his capabilities lie. However, seeing that I did not accept his request, he tried to remove me from the equation just then."

Qiu Jin'er's heart thumped heavily as she mumbled, "We don't know him nor does he know us. Why does he want to do this to us?"

"Because I draw too much attention," Zhong Yue said apologetically to her, "I'm sorry that you have to be dragged you into this."

Qiu Jin'er nodded heavily, and she said in a serious tone, "Senior martial brother, I think that sometimes, you need to keep a low-profile. It's not too good to be overly outstanding, it's easy to attract hate from the others."

Zhong Yue then nodded and agreed, "I think so too. But oftentimes, that is easier said than done."

"Senior martial brother, how strong do you think Shang Qing is?" Qiu Jin'er then asked.

"Very strong, but still weaker than me." Zhong Yue answered placidly.

"I think so too." Qiu Jin'er also said.

The eight Golden Hous were looking at one another as they listened in on as the young junior martial sister praised the senior martial brother and the senior martial brother also praised himself. They were between laughter and tears as they thought,  How are these two martial siblings even more shameless than us!

"Oh, I wonder how do the eight of you combine together?"

Qiu Jin'er then shifted her attention to the eight chubby little Golden Hous, and she said curiously, "Shang Qing said that you eight are actually a Tian Wu, so how do you all turn into a Tian Wu?"

The eight chubby tigers then exchanged a look and saw the same puzzled expression on each other's faces. Qiu Jin'er stepped forward and grabbed onto the little tigers, placing them together in a clump and watched expectantly. Nothing happened for the next few moments, and the young lady smirked happily, "This looks like a baozi!"

The young lady then placed the chubby tigers in a straight line, she couldn't hold her laughter and said, "Now it looks like a Tanghulu."

The eight of them were then placed in a circle, and she laughed again, "Now a pancake."

"Why are they all the names of foods?"

The eight Golden Hous were puzzled, and suddenly, Tian Er shouted in fear, "Please tell me you are not thinking about eating us!?"

Qiu Jin'er continued fooling around with the eight chubby tigers, testing out various arrangements to trigger a fusion, but it was to no avail. Zhong Yue stood aside and watched her have her fun, and he then laughed and said, "Jin'er, you can stop now. They have all cultivated different cultivation techniques, so combining the eight of them together will require another technique with the express purpose of fusing them together. Without this mainframe, these little Golden Hous won't combine into the Tian Wu either. My guess is that this mainframe is in the hands of Tian Wu God and that he would've only taught it to them just before entering the Returning Ruins. The only thing I'm interested in now is just how strong will the gods' strongest disciples be?"

Zhong Yue was filled with an intense desire for battle. Thousands of gods and thousands of years... the disciples that have been borne against this milieu would undoubtedly be exceptional, with the potential to become gods themselves. Seeing that he would soon have the opportunity to fight these strong opponents to learn more about his own strengths and weaknesses; Zhong Yue couldn't help tremble with excitement!

He couldn't wait for the battles to come!

"Senior martial brother, we are not Kun Lun natives, how are we going to enter the Returning Ruins?" Suddenly, Qiu Jin'er threw out a knotty question.

Zhong Yue was startled at the question, and he frowned. The Peaches of Immortality that even the gods longed for wasn't that appealing to him at all. He had cultivated the sixth wheel and connected his mortal body and Yuan Shen together to link their lifespans together. Which means that after he had become a god in the future, he would have a total of 50,000 years of life to live, longer than the conventional gods.

However, if he could just acquire one of this Peach of Immortality, he would be able to sell it at a high price and change it into the medicinal pellets and materials, cultivation techniques and treasures that Swords Gate needed most!

Furthermore, there would be more than many precious items in the Returning Ruins, some might even be the divine herbs and godly treasures!

However, Qiu Jin'er had pointed out an obstacle in front of them — they weren't Kun Lun natives, how were they supposed to enter the Returning Ruins?

"Tian Yi, did your master say anything about how to enter Returning Ruins?" Zhong Yue then asked.
