Chapter 110 The Mansion of the Extraordinary Ones

The Central Plains Extraordinary Scholars' Mansion is equivalent to the top university in the Big Dipper constellation, opening once every ten thousand years.

Although it doesn't contain the scriptures of the Great Emperor, it does contain many insights left by predecessors, which are of great help in improving one's cultivation level.

But for Zhang Taichu, these things were actually dispensable.

The so-called senior masters here are just some saints, saint kings, or at most, the enlightenment of a great saint.

For Ye Fan and the few bandits, this level of understanding was very useful, but for Zhang Taichu, who possessed several Great Emperor-level scriptures and divine beings, it was just something to watch.

Occasionally you might discover something you've never seen before, which can broaden your knowledge, but that's about it. If you really study it seriously, you'll end up doing something inferior.

Zhang Taichu's main purpose in coming to Qishi Mansion was to comprehend the Five-Colored Altar and obtain the coordinates of those ancient life stars on the Starry Sky Ancient Road.

He has fewer and fewer resources available from the Big Dipper, but now that he's at the Dragon Transformation Realm, he can still get some.

But once they advanced to Sendai, all of the top cultivation resources in the Big Dipper were in the forbidden zone of life, making them completely inaccessible.

Therefore, Zhang Taichu had already made plans. Once his strength reached Sendai, he would leave Beidou and go to other ancient stars to exploit, with the Eternal Starfield being his first choice.

That place is the most technologically advanced in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, where not only are there Gundam mechs, but also the most powerful evolution fluid.

Zhang Taichu possesses the Nine Mystic Fruits, which are the top-tier raw materials for refining the strongest evolution liquid.

It would be such a waste to eat the sacred fruit directly like Ye Fan and the others.

The strongest evolution fluid can directly improve one's cultivation level and physical strength, with effects far exceeding those of normal cultivation.

Another point is that the suppression of the Azure Emperor's Great Dao will be weakened after leaving the Big Dipper.

This can be seen from the fact that the Ziwei Starfield is full of kings, while the Beidou Starfield at the same time cannot even cut through the Dao.

Despite being considered prodigies, the Big Dipper constellation had many imperial sons, yet they were weaker than the Ziwei constellation's prodigies of the same period. Clearly, this wasn't a matter of talent, but rather that the closer one got to the place where the Azure Emperor passed away, the greater the suppression from the Great Dao became.

Therefore, going to another planet to sever one's Dao is a very good choice. Even Ye Fan in the original work succeeded in severing his Dao on Earth.

Ye Fan and Zhang Taichu successfully entered the Qishi Mansion. As for the bandits, they all got in by their own means, whether by ambushing or by pulling strings.

It has to be said that rats have their ways and snakes have their paths; they all have their own skills.

After entering the Qishi Mansion, Zhang Taichu found the manor lord and said he wanted to see the Five-Colored Altar. The manor lord did not make things difficult for him and took him there.

After reading it, Zhang Taichu immediately went into seclusion.

"Another epiphany? The profound meaning of the Divine Mark Purple Gold is so useful, why can't I comprehend it?"

Black Emperor entered as Ye Fan's spirit pet, which made it very unhappy, and it almost got into a fight with the examiners of the Qishi Mansion.

At this moment, it was sitting cross-legged in Ye Fan's room, looking quite human, with a divine purple-gold bead between its two large paws.

This was traded from Zhang Taichu when I went to the old site of Yaochi. I never wanted to use it for refining weapons, but instead wanted to comprehend the profound meaning of immortal metal from it, so that I could search for imperial scriptures everywhere like Zhang Taichu.

Unfortunately, the profound mysteries of immortal metal can only be comprehended after reaching the Great Emperor realm, unless one's innate nature aligns with them. I'm still far from that level.

Several days later, other prodigies from the Eastern Wilderness also arrived at the Qishi Mansion, including Ji Haoyue and his sister, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, and others.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi naturally found Zhang Taichu immediately. At this time, Zhang Taichu had made considerable progress in the profound meaning of the orange-gold space, but he had not yet comprehended the Emperor's script and always felt that he was lacking some basic scriptures.

Upon seeing the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, he knew that the Ji brothers must have arrived as well, so he began to covet the Void Scripture once again.

"You guys are really something, causing such a huge mess and just walking away like that? The entire Eastern Wilderness is in an uproar. As far as I know, someone has already offered ten million source stones to buy your and Ye Fan's lives."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi recounted what had happened in the Eastern Wilderness during this period.

"Hmph, some people really won't turn back until they hit a brick wall. I know who they are without even saying it. It just so happens that their holy sons and daughters have come to Qishi Mansion. I'll take some benefits from them to help me break through to the fourth stage of Dragon Transformation."

"In the beginning, I still have some dragon marrow here—"

Zhang Taichu waved his hand.

"How can I use yours? Besides, I'm just taking a chance. If it really doesn't work, I can go find it myself. Dragon marrow is a specialty of Zhongzhou. With my Origin Heaven Divine Eye, it won't be hard to find it."

"Let's put that aside for now. Tell me, what happened after the Jade Pool Gathering?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi then relayed the message from the messenger of the Primordial Clan, saying that the Primordial Clan would emerge one after another in the next hundred years and would redefine the territory with the human race, among other things.

Zhang Taichu chuckled.

"Chaos is coming, which is a good thing. It will save a bunch of people who have no real skills but rely on their ancestors' power to act arrogantly and think they are extraordinary. In chaotic times, these second-generation people will be the first to die."

As Zhang Taichu's strength grew, he was no longer content with cultivating in a low-key manner. He prepared to take the initiative, learn from the Thirteen Great Bandits, actively seize cultivation resources, and make rapid progress in order to cope with the chaos that was about to unfold.

He handed the newly acquired Sun and Moon scriptures, the two great mother scriptures of humanity, to the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, who was so shocked that her eyes widened and she was speechless for a long time.

"Could this be the opportunity you obtained in the Dragon Nest?"

"It was Ye Fan and the others who obtained it. I helped them out a little. Take it. Everyone present at the time got a copy. Counting the previous ones, you now have several Emperor Scriptures. If you still can't become the number one in the Eastern Wilderness, then it's your own problem."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi happily accepted the two Imperial Scriptures, then paused in surprise.

"I've become the number one in the Eastern Wilderness? What about you? And Ye Fan, he's already broken the Four Extremes Curse and obtained the Human Mother Scripture. I might not be his match."

"Ye Fan and I have long since set our sights on the entire Beidou region and even the entire universe. Let's leave the Eastern Wilderness to you mortals."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi reached out to pinch Zhang Taichu's soft waist, but Zhang Taichu grabbed her upper body in return. The Holy Maiden let out a soft snort, blushed, and ran away.

Zhang Taichu chuckled for a moment, then composed himself and went out to find the Black Emperor.

Black Emperor has also been busy during this time. It has toured the Qishi Mansion inside and out dozens of times, collecting a lot of formations and cultivation insights.

Feeling that its cultivation level had improved, it was preparing to go into seclusion for a while when Zhang Taichu came looking for it.

"Black Emperor, do you have enough materials to set up the Boundless Killing Array?"

"You little rascal, are you trying to trick me? Hehe, I like it!"

Black Emperor laughed. Zhang Taichu didn't hide anything from it and directly told it that he was going to target the holy sons and daughters of several major sects, and also revealed that he and Ye Fan were on the assassin dynasty's kill list.

"These bastards are too cowardly to act openly, so they resort to these underhanded tricks. Since that's the case, let's fight fire with fire. What do you want to do?"

Zhang Taichu relayed his plan to the Black Emperor via telepathy, and the Black Emperor became more and more excited as he listened, eventually letting out a cold laugh.

"Alright, alright, we'll do as you say. Don't worry, I have enough materials. As long as you succeed on your side, I guarantee that no matter how many come, they'll all die!"

"But if that happens, we'll be locked in a life-or-death struggle with those old guys, especially you. You'll likely face a brutal retaliation. Are you mentally prepared?"

Zhang Taichu turned and walked outside.

"Back then, the Great Emperor Wushi had enemies all over the world, yet he eventually became a Great Emperor. I'm just a nobody compared to him."

As the deadline for Qishi Mansion's enrollment approached, many characters with names and surnames from the original work arrived.

For example, the Northern Emperor Teng, the Central Emperor Xiang Yufei, the Southern Demon Qi Lin, and others, as well as the Western Bodhisattva Jue Youqing, and Duan De after his disguise, all arrived.

These are all geniuses from various states of the Big Dipper, whose strength is a level above that of those in the Eastern Wilderness. Only the holy sons and daughters of the Immortal Holy Land can rival them.

Zhang Taichu didn't care about these people because he knew that most of them were just bystanders.

Let alone them, even the young representatives of the various ancient life stars on the ancient road of humanity were just bystanders after the Dark Turmoil, completely incomparable to Ye Fan.

If you want a competitor, then look for Ye Fan. You don't need to care about anyone else, including that little devil Yao Guang Sheng Zi, who is also a half-hearted schemer.

In Zhang Taichu's eyes, Yao Guang Shengzi and Wang Teng were on the same level. However, Wang Teng became an enemy of Ye Fan too early, which led to the shattering of his Dao heart. Yao Guang Shengzi was able to endure, but in the end he was still defeated by Ye Fan. He couldn't even get Ye Fan to use his full strength, so he was no different from Wang Teng.

At this time, Zhang Taichu was more concerned about the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Yin Yang Sect. A few days later, the news of the Immortal Mansion Small World spread, and the geniuses in the Qishi Mansion could no longer sit still. They all entered this small world through the spatial entrance of the Qishi Mansion.

Zhang Taichu had already entered the Immortal Abode Small World and taken out all the most valuable items from it, so this small world no longer held much appeal for him.

However, Zhang Taichu still chose to enter. Before entering, he sought out the Black Emperor once more. The two of them—or rather, the man and the dog—shared a knowing smile, making Ye Fan and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi feel that they were definitely up to no good.

Soon, the four people and one dog entered the Immortal Abode Small World. The cultivation environment, which was far superior to that of the outside world, invigorated everyone except Zhang Taichu and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

Zhang Taichu immediately used his Origin Heaven Divine Eye to look around and quickly found a stone carving of a cultivation technique. He then led everyone over there.

"It is the legacy of a senior sword cultivator. Judging from the profundity of this secret technique, this senior sword cultivator should have the strength of a fourth-level immortal saint."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi quickly determined the value of the stone carving, while Ye Fan had already begun meditating and comprehending it.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was about to have Zhang Taichu comprehend the secrets, but she found him whispering with the Black Emperor.

"What kind of wicked scheme are you two plotting? You don't even care about a saint-level stone carving?"

Black Emperor's face was full of disdain.

"I don't know how to use a sword, so practicing would be a waste of my energy. However, the inscriptions of the formation might be of some use to me."

Zhang Taichu also shook his head.

"I prefer using my fists to my sword, so this thing is useless to me. Holy Maiden, you can stay here and meditate. The Black Emperor will protect you. I'll go and take a look elsewhere."

Without waiting for the Holy Maiden of Yaochi to reply, Zhang Taichu turned and flew away quickly.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi had a feeling that Zhang Taichu was up to something bad, but she had no evidence and could only let him leave.

The Black Emperor, who always liked to bargain, was unusually cooperative this time. He actually sat down to the side and began to protect Ye Fan and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi. Of course, he also played around with Xiao Yinnan, managing to protect the Dharma and take care of the child at the same time.

Zhang Taichu, following the marks he had left on the Yin-Yang Saintess, quickly approached.

Just two hours later, they were cornered in a desolate mountain area.
