Chapter 1531: Chapter 943: Entering the Chess Game (Part 2)

“Well, it does have some utility…”

…

“The True Emperor Seal?”

Tao Yu held the small golden seal in his hand, his face revealing a hint of interest.

In some ways, it is also a treasure that gathers the Yuan Force of all beings.

Although in terms of quality it can only be classified as a Sacred Object, it is still quite unique.

“The Emperor’s Aura, which is a means of gathering the Yuan Force of all beings under heaven. I have tried collecting faith before, and this thing is akin to purification. Even for Divine Spirits, it can be of assistance…”

Though the quality is not high, Tao Yu could also feel the utility of this thing.

Perhaps it can purify chaotic faith into Yuan Force.

However, it’s rather useless to Tao Yu himself, because he never cared about purity.

The statues that were erected everywhere were just casting a wide net, seeking quantity rather than quality.

“It certainly has some value. So you purposely brought the Crown Prince and Prince Jin here for a trade? What do you think they can bring forth? The Imperial Family of Great Jin has ruled for so long, do they have any Supreme Divine Skills like the Tathagata Divine Palm or the Heavenly Cutting Seven Swords?”

Tao Yu asked Sikong Tu with interest.

This question left Sikong Tu bewildered. However, the Protector beside him had Dharma Body level cultivation, so this being probably wasn’t below the status of the Enchantress of the Great Luo!

After some careful consideration, Sikong Tu cautiously replied,

“Tathagata Divine Palm and Heavenly Cutting Seven Swords are probably not within their possession, but the Zhao Family’s ‘Shocking World Book’ is a renowned Dharma Body Level Technique. Though not as powerful as Supreme Divine Skills, it is not far off either…”

Hearing this, Tao Yu couldn’t help but internally roll his eyes.

Although he hadn’t seen the ‘Shocking World Book’ personally, there was a conversion price on the Six Paths side—valued at fifteen thousand Good Deeds, clearly a decently large tier below Supreme Divine Skills.

“Better than nothing, if there’s a chance, trade it with them for that…”

Currently, Tao Yu lacked some research material for the period between the opening of the Nine Orifices and the Outer Realm. If there was a technique that led directly to Dharma Body level, it would be perfect to fill his database, and maybe he could get a bit more in exchange…

——

“Your Disguise Skill is indeed something.”

Tao Yu acknowledged with a nod, seeing Sikong Tu in front of him, who had altered his appearance to become an old servant at his side.

Having an experienced companion like this truly saves a lot of trouble.

While the power may be weak, the experience is enough.

After all, surviving unscathed in Jiangnan, teeming with Outer Realm experts, is no easy feat.

This circumstance reminds Tao Yu of the ‘Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill’ from the Six Paths side.

“In essence, the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill is the true transformation divine skill. I wonder if any Reincarnators have chosen it.”

Because of the flower boat’s damage, Tao Yu temporarily settled in a courtyard in the city.

He purchased this courtyard at a high price, and Sikong Tu transformed into its steward, taking charge of daily trivial matters.

Two days passed, and on the surface, Ying City seemed calm and had not been affected by the previous riverside incident. However, every night, Tao Yu could sense figures flitting across the rooftops.

Occasionally, faint sounds of skirmishes could be heard.

It seems all parties have reached an unspoken agreement, and situations like the flower boat incident have not recurred.

Most likely, the Six Gates organized local powerhouses to besiege those few Reincarnators.

When those Reincarnators appeared, Tao Yu could vaguely sense something was off in their aura. However, at the time, he truly did not detect the World-crossing Dharma King, resulting in a slight misstep on the part of the Green Bird.

This further confirmed for Tao Yu the depth of the world’s intricacies.

“I wouldn’t make such mistakes, nor is it likely to be a coincidence. Perhaps it relates to a kindness similar to Yuanshi Tianzun’s…”

Tao Yu opened the door, standing in the courtyard, pondering to himself.

“Young Master, Lan Ke has arrived.”

At this moment, Sikong Tu, disguised as an old servant, came to report.

His disguise was indeed impressive. Lan Ke met again with him, without noticing any discrepancy.

“Bring him in.”

Tao Yu casually instructed.

Not long after, Lan Ke, led by Sikong Tu, entered the courtyard.

After several days apart, Lan Ke seemed somewhat fatigued, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn’t rested well.

“Greetings, Young Master Hong. I have come to fulfill my promise this time.”

Lan Ke cupped his hands. He had previously promised to lead Tao Yu into the Xingyun Banquet.

However, two others involved—one went missing, and another was injured—leaving only him.

“Thank you, Lan Da Xia, you seem to have not rested well.”

Tao Yu said with a smile.

Lan Ke pondered for a moment whether he should speak, weighed it, and then simply stated,

“Since I am one of the involved parties, I was invited by the Six Gates to participate in the investigation, aiming to uncover the individuals causing chaos in the shadows. This matter is taken very seriously by the Six Gates, with even the Crown Prince and Prince Jin inquiring separately.”

Lan Ke also realized there were deep waters here, barely concealed by the grandeur of the Xingyun Banquet.

Otherwise, even with involvement from the Outer Realm, it wouldn’t warrant such attention from two princes highly likely to inherit the throne.

“Have they been found?”

“With assistance from ‘Mad Blade’ Su Meng, the demon practitioner cultivating Magic Skills has been eradicated.”

Speaking of the ‘Mad Blade,’ a hint of admiration and sigh appeared on Lan Ke’s face.

Remarkably, despite not having reached the Nine Orifices, and with limited time in the Jianghu, his strength far surpassed Lan Ke’s!
