All Heavens: Sharing Talents with Countless Mes

Everyone knows now that Jiang Tingting is Chu Yang's darling, and he spoils this disciple rotten.

The fact that they took out a complete immortal herb to resolve the hidden dangers of the Taiyin body is enough to illustrate this point.

So it's not surprising that someone dared to attempt to kill Jiang Tingting, and Chu Yang came to retaliate.

But the problem is...

With Chu Yang's strength comparable to that of a Dao-Slaying King, why would he need to borrow the Supreme Emperor Sword just to kill an ordinary powerful being?

Moreover, even if he needed an imperial weapon, didn't Chu Yang still have the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron?
Something is wrong!
Nine out of ten something is wrong!
The Emperor Sword is renowned for its offensive capabilities, and in terms of pure offensive power, it does indeed surpass the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron.

Moreover, supreme imperial weapons are not something that can be borrowed so easily, so no one thought that Chu Yang had snatched the Taihuang Sword from the Great Xia Dynasty.

After all, the fact that Chu Yang and Princess Xia Yilin of Great Xia had become sworn siblings was no secret.

With this connection, he has no reason to steal from the Great Xia Dynasty.

Therefore, the only possibility is that he borrowed it from the Emperor of Great Xia!
Borrowing an ultimate imperial weapon is a huge favor, so what reason could it be worth going to such lengths for him?
Isn't the southern part of Zhongzhou where the ancient city of Nan is located?

In that instant, Li Lei thought of many things, and finally all his thoughts converged on one point: he was certain that Chu Yang was coming for him!

If we choose to forcibly seize the imperial weapon, then King Yama of Chu will probably come charging over with the Supreme Emperor Sword!

Thinking of this, Li Lei broke out in a cold sweat.

Back in the Holy City, he had witnessed Chu Yang's endless array of methods.

Now that the opponent has reached the level of a Dao-Slaying King and possesses the Supreme Emperor Sword, I'm afraid that even without the power of my past life, I might not be his match.

Most importantly, since Chu Yang dared to come, he must have something to rely on.

Back in the Holy City, Chu Yang left a deep shadow on Li Lei, making him somewhat afraid to even mention Chu Yang now.

After a moment of lingering fear, Li Lei suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, he had just suppressed his murderous intent and hadn't attacked this "Tu Fei".

Otherwise, even if he managed to retrieve the Imperial Weapon, he feared he wouldn't be able to return to Jiuli safely.

Taking a deep breath, Li Lei finally straightened his posture, walked over and sat down opposite Chu Yang, then gently raised his hand, placed a parchment scroll on the table, pushed it forward, and said:

"This is the Ancient Scripture of Jiuli. I hope you will keep your promise."

Chu Yang put down his chopsticks, picked up the sheepskin scroll, examined it, and after confirming it was correct, casually tossed the Nine Li Map out, then said with a smile:

"Happy Trading!"

After saying that, Chu Yang got up and left.

Li Lei sat there for a moment, stunned, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

The process went so smoothly that he felt uncertain about his future.

Of course, upon closer examination, it wasn't exactly smooth sailing.

After all, the Jiuli Dynasty originally intended to get something for nothing, neither handing over the ancient scriptures nor taking back the earth soldiers.

The mysterious sage didn't appear, but Chu Yang personally came to the south, which made Li Lei dare not act rashly and could only accept it reluctantly.

That night, the little nun in white returned to the Great Xia Dynasty alone and returned the Emperor's Sword.

Ever since lending out the imperial weapon, the Great Xia Emperor had been keeping a close eye on Chu Yang's movements. Now that his youngest daughter had brought the imperial weapon back, he felt a sense of unreality.

Is that all?

Why did Chu Yang go to so much trouble to borrow the Emperor's Sword from me, just to take a trip to the south and scare Li Lei?

He shared the same thought as Li Lei: since there was already a dragon-patterned black gold cauldron in the Outer Heavens, why bother with this?
Although the Supreme Emperor Sword excels in attack, each of the ultimate imperial weapons has its own advantages. Unless it is one of the very top-tier weapons, there is basically no difference between them, and each has its own merits.

Weapons such as tripods, bells, and pagodas are especially powerful and imposing.

Li Lei was also frightened at the time and did not think about this in detail.

The Great Xia Emperor, however, had a clearer perspective from the sidelines and felt that things were not so simple.

And that was indeed the case, because Chu Yang borrowed the Emperor's Sword not to scare Li Lei at all, or rather, it was just a side effect.

If it were only to intimidate Li Lei with the Imperial Weapon, I wouldn't even need to go back to the Eastern Wilderness to retrieve the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron. I could simply go to the Qishi Mansion and borrow the body of the Devouring Demon Jar from the old blind man.

Why should we waste our own money on favors?

After the events in Qinling concluded, Daoist Chilong and Yun Ning, along with the Chaos Green Lotus and the Elixir of Immortality, returned to the Outer Heavens, while King Peacock escorted Jiang Tingting back to the Qishi Mansion.

However, due to the ambush they encountered on the way, the old blind man went to Qishi Mansion after leaving Qinling.

Last time it was to support the petty bandits, this time it's to deter all the villains and prevent those shameless old men from harming Jiang Tingting.

However, after learning that the Immortal Elixir had reached the Outer Heavens, no one dared to covet Jiang Tingting anymore.

Chu Yang borrowed the Taihuang Sword, but his real purpose was the Taihuang Scripture!

The Taihuang Sword is inscribed with the Taihuang Scripture, but it is also subject to restrictions and cannot be seen with the naked eye, so the Great Xia Emperor never made any connection to this.

However, how could such a restriction possibly be difficult for Chu Yang?
With just a sweep of the unparalleled will of the true spirit, one can ignore the restrictions on the sword and see the Taihuang Scripture in its entirety.

After leaving the tavern, Chu Yang did not rush to leave Nangu City, but instead stayed in the city.

With his true self returning, Chu Yang immediately began to comprehend the complete Taihuang Scripture and Jiuli Scripture.

For him, collecting ancient scriptures was like using other people's experiences to verify his own understanding of the Dao and the Dharma, so as to continuously improve his understanding of the Dao and the Dharma.

However, although he has obtained the Taihuang Scripture, he does not have enough resources at hand, and Chu Yang is currently unable to break through to the Dragon Transformation Realm.

But just as Li Lei thought, how could Chu Yang so easily return the imperial weapon to the Jiuli Dynasty?
This appears to be an equal exchange, but in reality, everyone knows that compared to an ancient scripture, the ultimate imperial weapon is undoubtedly more practical.

After all, whether or not one possesses ancient scriptures, it cannot change the upper limit of a person's talent. The inheritance of the Outer Heaven is far superior to the Nine Li Ancient Scripture.

However, an imperial weapon can bring the most direct practical benefits.

Therefore, Chu Yang's true purpose was never the Nine Li Scripture, but the value that this ancient scripture could create for him!
After spending three days thoroughly understanding the two ancient scriptures, Chu Yang finally met the person he had been waiting for.

In the courtyard, looking at the sheepskin scroll, Ye Fan and the others all had strange expressions.

The rather composed Wu Zhongtian pondered for a moment and said, "Bandit, you need to think this through..."

"If we really do that, we'll completely offend the Nine Li Dynasty!"

"We're alright, but you, the one who started this, will definitely face their endless retaliation!"

"This is tantamount to digging up someone's ancestral graves. Even if there's a powerful force behind it, the Nine Li Dynasty will definitely not let this go!"

Chu Yang waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's alright! Not making it public is already a way of leaving room for maneuver!"

Pang Bo clicked his tongue in amazement and exclaimed, "That move is absolutely ruthless!"

"Little Yezi, I feel like all the wicked ideas in your head, even combined with that big black dog, can't compare to this kid's!"

Ye Fan's face darkened, and the big black dog beside him bared its teeth. Chu Yang looked up at Ye Fan and asked with a smile, "So? Interested in teaming up for a little something?"

"We'll split it 10/90! You get 10%, I get 90%!"

Ye Fan's face darkened even more, and he said irritably, "You want me to go out and take the fall, and you only give me ten percent?"

"It has to be at least 50%!"

"Twenty percent!" Chu Yang said seriously. "Even between brothers, accounts must be settled clearly!"

"Forty percent!" Ye Fan conceded again.

"Thirty percent!" Chu Yang placed his palm on the parchment scroll. "No more than that!"

Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, then immediately nodded and said, "Deal!"

The people around them looked at each other with strange expressions.

Long before Chu Yang came to Nan Gu City, he had sent them a message, asking them to come over as well, but he did not explain the specific purpose.

No one thought he would cheat them, so they didn't think much of it and rushed over without stopping.

When they arrived, they found out that this guy had something big planned: he wanted Ye Fan to hold an auction and publicly auction the Nine Li Ancient Scripture!

As Wu Zhongtian said, this is no less serious than digging up someone's ancestral grave.

However, everyone could imagine how much profit would be made from auctioning a complete ancient scripture.

As for why we didn't just auction the Nine Li Map directly, but instead went through this unnecessary process?
The reason is simple: Chu Yang was able to forcibly seize the Nine Li Map because he possessed the secret technique of the "Soldier" character. Even if the Nine Li Dynasty used its secret method, it would not be able to take it back.

However, if the Nine Li Map were auctioned off directly, the buyer would likely have it snatched back by the Nine Li Dynasty the very next day.

In this situation, even if someone is willing to buy, the price will not be ideal.

In contrast, ancient scriptures are quite different!

Those who have the confidence to bid for the Nine Li Ancient Scripture are definitely top-tier forces no less powerful than the Nine Li Dynasty, and they are not afraid of facing the Nine Li Dynasty's retaliation.

Compared to a complete ancient scripture, what is offending an immortal dynasty?
These top powers can undoubtedly afford to pay a high price!

The reason why Ye Fan was chosen instead of Chu Yang to handle the matter was not because he was afraid of trouble, but because he wanted to prevent the auction from being disrupted by the Jiuli Dynasty.

It's obvious that the Jiuli Dynasty will be furious once this news gets out.

If Chu Yang himself were to appear at the auction, the Nine Li Dynasty would probably spare no expense, even if it meant breaking ties with the Outer Heavens, to snatch back the ancient scripture.

Even if they can't take it back, they'll still have to disrupt the auction.

Every time Chu Yang holds an auction, they disrupt it; they simply cannot allow the matter to succeed.

However, if Chu Yang doesn't show himself and instead lets Ye Fan do it, then the Nine Li Dynasty will have to think twice.

If they were to cause trouble, Chu Yang could simply reveal the Nine Li Ancient Scripture to the public in another location, which would be a true catastrophe for the Nine Li Dynasty!

As Chu Yang said, he only sold the ancient scripture to a certain company, instead of making it public, so it wouldn't cause the Jiuli Dynasty to completely lose its mind.

Because at most, this is equivalent to the Jiuli Dynasty needing to share the ancient scriptures with another holy land-level power.

The forces that acquired the ancient scriptures would never leak them, otherwise the money would have been wasted.
But if it is made public, then the nature of the matter is completely different!

Only through the combined efforts of Chu Yang and Ye Fan, one operating covertly and the other openly, could the auction proceed smoothly.

As for the 30/70 split, Ye Fan seems to be at a disadvantage, since he has to take the blame publicly.

In fact, anyone who isn't a fool knows that Chu Yang was the instigator, and Ye Fan already had a grudge against the Jiuli Dynasty; this is just another new debt to settle.

"Since that's the case, then I'll leave this ancient scripture here. You can study it first, or memorize it all, and then we can start the auction!"

Chu Yang stood up, stretched, and said, "I'm going to the Ancient Hua Dynasty to help you keep Jiu Li at bay."

The crowd nodded, their eyes fixed eagerly on the parchment scroll.

Ye Fan then brought up the old matter again, suddenly asking, "Bandit, what exactly is the background of that sick old man?"

Chu Yang pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Nine thousand years ago, Gai Jiuyou!"

After saying that, he took a step forward and disappeared.

Chu Yang's words before leaving left Pang Bo and the others completely bewildered, as they were all unfamiliar with the name Gai Jiuyou.

However, amidst the bewilderment, there was also some shock. Although I had never heard of it before, the fact that a person from nine thousand years ago could still be alive today was terrifying enough.

Ye Fan's pupils contracted, because he had heard of this name before!
When they first met in the Qinling Mountains, he heard from the sick old man that there was once an unparalleled genius who was only one step away from the ultimate realm of the imperial path, but ended up sadly because he was too close to the time when the Azure Emperor achieved enlightenment.

so……

The sick old man wasn't discussing any legends, but rather reminiscing about his past self.

and many more!

Just one step away from the Emperor Realm?
He's not a saint, but a quasi-emperor?!?

Ye Fan was startled by his own thought, but upon further reflection, he realized that the sick old man looked frail and had personally mentioned that Gai Jiuyou had failed to break through to the Emperor Realm in the past, leaving behind indelible scars on his Great Dao.

He may have once been a quasi-Emperor level expert, but now he is mostly only at the Saint level.

Otherwise, in this era where no one is invincible, wouldn't the other side be invincible in the world?
Why would there be a need to hide one's strength and identity?

Having figured this out, Ye Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Gai Jiuyou's background is truly terrifying. If he were still at his peak, it's unimaginable how terrifying he would be.

Three days later, another piece of news shocked the entire Central Plains!

The cultivators of Zhongzhou were all dumbfounded. How long had it been since the Qinling incident?

How come one major event after another keeps happening?

First, Tu Fei clashed with the Jiuli Dynasty, then Chu Yang wandered around the southern part of Zhongzhou with the Taihuang Sword, and now the Holy Body Ye Fan is actually going to auction the Jiuli Scripture!
In an instant, countless gazes converged on the Jiuli Dynasty, and as everyone expected, the Jiuli Emperor was furious.

There are even rumors that the Jiuli Dynasty has brought out that former quasi-emperor to wage war against the Outer Heavens!
Anyone with eyes can see that although it was Holy Body Ye Fan who was causing trouble, the mastermind behind it all was "Tu Fei"!
After all, it was he who used the Nine Li Map to exchange for the ancient scriptures from the Nine Li Dynasty.

The powerful figures from the holy lands of the other four regions, who had just left, set off again for Zhongzhou.

Regardless of whether the auction proceeds smoothly or not, they will definitely get involved.

If the two sides actually fight, the auction will come to nothing, and it will all just be a spectacle.

But if Ye Fan really manages to pull this off, then if they miss out, it might be too late for regrets.

A complete imperial scripture holds immense allure for any power!

Meanwhile, Chu Yang had already entered the territory of the Ancient Hua Dynasty… (End of this chapter)
