In the game "Covering the Sky," I can create nine kinds of immortal gold.

Chapter 116 The Eighth Son of the Ji Family

Zhang Taichu began repairing the Yin-Yang Mirror. Once successful, he would obtain a Great Sacred Weapon, whose power would be no less than that of the Heavenly Wrath Blade in Ye Fan's hands.

Most importantly, with the support of the Origin Heaven Array Pattern, although he cannot fully activate the power of the Great Sacred Weapon, he can still unleash 30% of its power.

Given the current situation of the Big Dipper, a Great Saint Weapon with 30% of its power is enough to sweep away everyone below the Saint level.

In other words, apart from a few people such as Jiang Taixu, the Old Madman, Gai Jiuyou, and the Old Immortal of the Thirteen Great Bandits, Zhang Taichu will be the strongest.

Even if an ancient aristocratic family were to bring out an imperial weapon, he could still escape smoothly by relying on his Yin-Yang Realm.

After all, even ancient aristocratic families can only use imperial weapons to perform basic functions, which is not enough to destroy a great saint weapon in one blow.

Most importantly, Zhang Taichu can also summon heavenly tribulations. Although the imperial weapon itself is not afraid of heavenly tribulations, the person who uses it is.

Because what will be summoned then is the Heavenly Tribulation. Not to mention the second-level immortals, the entire Big Dipper might be blown to pieces by the Heavenly Tribulation.

Of course, there are forbidden zones in the Big Dipper. The Dark Sovereigns within will not allow the Big Dipper to be destroyed. Only they themselves can destroy the Big Dipper. Anyone else who dares to make a move will be crushed in a second, not even an Imperial Weapon.

Faced with the Dark Sovereign, even the Imperial Weapon is nothing more than a slightly more powerful toy, and is not worth fearing at all.

Zhang Taichu began carefully repairing the Yin-Yang Mirror, while a quarrel broke out among the high-ranking members of the Huanggu Ji family.

"No, I absolutely cannot allow this to happen. Zhang Taichu not only has King Jiang as his powerful backer, but also the entire Yaochi Holy Land as his support. Eighth Brother, have you thought about this? Once we make a move, we will face the pressure of two immortal forces!"

The Holy Lord of the Ji family sternly questioned the eighth son of the Ji family, who was also Ji Hui's ancestor and the biggest villain in the Ji family.

The most infamous thing this guy did was to use the Void Mirror to attack Ye Fan on his own, almost pushing the Ji family into an abyss.

This is why Ye Fan eventually ended up with Ji Ziyue. In addition, Ji Zi sacrificed her life and merged with the corpse of the Void Emperor, briefly summoning the Void Emperor and making a great contribution during the Dark Turmoil.

Otherwise, once Ye Fan's Holy Body is fully formed, the Ji family will be the first to be destroyed.

The readers of "Covering the Sky" affectionately call this character "Ji X Ba".

"Besides, Ji Biyue from your lineage was also saved by Zhang Taichu, so you owe her a life-saving favor. Are you now going to repay kindness with enmity?"

Ji Laoba's face was as black as iron, and his expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

He certainly knew about Zhang Taichu saving Ji Biyue, but like those sophisticated egoists, such people only care about themselves and don't care about others.

Even if someone does him a favor, he will only take it for granted and will not be grateful.

He might even hold a grudge against someone if they refuse him a favor one day.

Although there aren't many people like this in reality, each one is disgusting, and the evil of human nature is fully displayed in them.

"Your Majesty, you're thousands of years old. Can't you stop being so naive? So what if Zhang Taichu has been kind to us? He has too many treasures on him now; he can't possibly control them all."

"Instead of letting those treasures be buried in his hands, it's better to hand them over to us. As descendants of the Void Emperor, we are the pillars of humanity."

"Especially that Dao Tribulation Golden Armor! So much immortal gold was used to forge armor. If it were in our hands, it would be enough to make three Void Mirrors!"

Mirror-type magical artifacts are relatively economical in terms of materials. If the Golden Armor of the Dao Tribulation were melted down, it would indeed be possible to create a Dao-bearing artifact like the Three Void Mirrors.

In Ji Laoba's opinion, the three most outstanding juniors of the Ji family, Ji Haoyue, Ji Ziyue, and Ji Biyue, each with their own unique features, are simply perfect!

"Besides, if we take action, we can still spare Zhang Taichu's life. If other forces get there first, he won't even be able to save his life." Ji Laoba calmly stated his bandit-like logic, which angered the Ji family's Holy Master to the point that he almost slapped him.

"You're just making excuses. Have you thought about the consequences of doing this? Although our Ji family is an ancient family, there are more than one ancient family in the Big Dipper. The immortal dynasties in the Central Plains are no less powerful than us."

"You really think you can keep the spoils all to yourself after you succeed?"

Ji Laoba smiled confidently.

"Holy Lord, this kind of thing is easy to solve. We just need to gather a few allies and agree on how to distribute the spoils beforehand. Besides, although the Immortal Dynasty of Zhongzhou is not weak, we can just send out imperial weapons. Who's afraid of whom? They have the Nine Li Diagram, the Supreme Emperor Sword, and other imperial weapons. We also have the Void Mirror."

"Besides, even if things get really critical, we still have Little Ancestor."

"Shut up! Is this the kind of thing we use to deal with? Have you become so corrupt that you've forgotten our ancestral teachings?"

The two argued for a long time, neither of them could convince the other, and they parted on bad terms.

However, the ancient aristocratic families have never been a situation where the Holy Lord has absolute power; in fact, the position of Holy Lord has been rotated among the members.

In the original story, the Holy Lord of the Ji family did not reign for more than a few years before being replaced by Ji Haoyue's father. And when Ji Haoyue had fully grown up, she became the new Holy Lord.

In short, within the ancient clan, the Holy Lord is like a professional manager, responsible for managing the family's daily affairs. If a major event occurs, he needs to consult with the leaders of each branch.

If the leaders of different factions disagree or have differing opinions, the Holy Lord can only try to smooth things over and cannot simply rule as one.

The ancient Jiang family is the same in this respect; even confidential information such as Jiang Taixu being trapped in Zishan could be leaked.

The purpose of doing this was to prevent Jiang Taixu from returning alive, which is equivalent to killing Jiang Taixu through outsiders. The fact that they could do such a thing shows that there is no longer any kinship among the ancient families, and it is all about interests and calculations.

Rather than calling them a noble family, they were more like a kingdom, where power struggles were commonplace, and even fratricide was not uncommon.

After failing to persuade the Holy Master of the Ji family, Ji Laoba immediately summoned several high-ranking members of his lineage upon returning to his own.

After much discussion, they finally dispatched a powerful figure to contact the Yin-Yang Sect and other forces.

These forces have all suffered losses at Zhang Taichu's hands. The reason they haven't taken action yet is simply because they haven't found a way to counter the Heavenly Tribulation.

Now that they have received the notice from the Ji family, they have all sent people over thoughtfully.

Soon, in a valley in the Great Wilderness, all six major forces gathered together.

This includes the Ji family, the Yin-Yang Sect, the Illusion Palace, the Five Elements Hall, the Great Evolution Holy Land, and the Golden Family to which Jin Chixiao belongs.

Each of the six major powers sent a powerful cultivator at the second level of the Immortal Realm to negotiate.

Without wasting words, the powerful figure from the Ji family took out a talisman that emitted strong spatial fluctuations.

"Thank you all for coming as promised. Time is of the essence, so I won't waste any more words. This talisman was passed down from our ancestor, the Void Emperor. Once activated, it can directly seal off the heavens and the earth, completely isolating the space within a hundred miles."

"Being inside the isolated space, no one can detect you, including the Heavenly Tribulation. With it there, Zhang Taichu's secret technique for summoning the Heavenly Tribulation is useless. Do you all understand what I mean?"

The members of the five sects, including the Yin-Yang Sect, exchanged glances. While they were shocked, they couldn't help but admire the profound foundation of the forces that had produced an emperor.

Take the Dayan Holy Land as an example. As one of the top powers in the Eastern Wilderness, they have always treated the Ji family as equals.

The competition among the disciples was evenly matched, and even deep within the sect, there were sealed saints, saint kings, and even great saints.

If the sect faces a great calamity, they can break free from the seal and save the sect from disaster.

However, they were truly helpless against Zhang Taichu's tribulation this time.

Some sects even considered summoning a few saints to help them out, but considering that even saints would be struck by lightning in the face of heavenly tribulation, they ultimately gave up.

After all, cultivators of this era did not have a clear concept of saints, only thinking that they were cultivators at a higher level.

Completely unaware that the fourth-ranked immortal who had comprehended the laws of the sages was far beyond the reach of other cultivators.

The difference between the two is like that between a mongrel and a tiger. Even the strongest dog will be afraid of a tiger, let alone a head-on confrontation. Some dogs will even wet themselves when they hear a tiger roar, and they will not have the slightest thought of resisting.

If they were to truly unseal the Saints, even just one, Zhang Taichu would be no match for them.

At that point, he would have no choice but to hide in the Jade Pool and dare not come out to roam again.

"Brother Ji, is this true?"

"That's absolutely true, so everyone doesn't need to worry about the Heavenly Tribulation anymore. They only need to think about how to deal with Zhang Taichu himself."

"Our Ji family also has some records of the profound mysteries of immortal metals. Although this secret method of summoning heavenly tribulations is incredibly powerful, it also has weaknesses."

The powerful figure from the Yin-Yang Sect had his eyes shining with golden light and quickly pressed for details about the weakness.

"His weakness is himself. Once the caster is severely injured or even dies, the heavenly tribulation will dissipate on its own. So with this talisman sealing the heavens and earth and temporarily isolating the heavenly tribulation, we only need to take this opportunity to severely injure Zhang Taichu."

Upon hearing this, everyone was completely relieved. In their view, Zhang Taichu's strongest move was the Heavenly Tribulation. Once he lost this move, he would just be a Transformation Realm cultivator who relied on Origin Techniques to cheat.

One-on-one might be able to put up a fight against a powerful being from the second level of the game, but if two or three powerful beings go up, they can easily defeat him without any difficulty.

Ultimately, to be on the safe side, the six factions decided to join forces and send twenty powerful immortals of the second rank.

The Ji family will send only one person, who will only be responsible for casting spells to seal the heavens and the earth, and will not participate in the attack.

The remaining 19 powerful figures all came from the other five major forces.

The other factions immediately understood: the Ji family didn't want to offend the Jiang family and Yaochi, since those two factions were on good terms with Zhang Taichu. If they joined forces to deal with the Ji family, the Ji family would also have a headache.

In particular, both of these families are local strongmen in the Northern Region. Once they join forces, the Ji family will be unable to continue operating their source stone mines and stone workshops in the Northern Region.

Ultimately, the six major forces formed an alliance, quickly selected their best fighters, and entered the Immortal Abode Small World together. The third assassination attempt against Zhang Taichu began—
