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

Chapter 147 Shura Field

"Then why the Northern Plains Wang family? And not the Central Emperor Nan Yao and others? Their strength should be no weaker than Wang Teng's."

Ji Laoba shook his head.

"First of all, the Emperor is a very mysterious person. There are even rumors that he is an old guy from thousands of years ago who has self-proclaimed himself to this era. Such a person's background is too complicated, and he is not the best choice for marriage alliance."

"Secondly, there's the Southern Demon. Firstly, he's a demon, so the chances of him marrying a human are slim. Secondly, he comes from the Demon Emperor's Palace, where the factions are even more chaotic than those of ancient families like ours, making him even less suitable for marriage."

"So after thinking it over, Wang Teng is the most suitable. First of all, he is from the Wang family of Beiyuan. Although this family is not an immortal force, it is still a major sect, no less than the Yin Yang Sect before."

"But at the same time, he is not as good as our Ji family. Once the marriage is arranged, our Ji family will definitely take the lead."

"There's another point. Wang Teng and Zhang Taichu have a feud, and the two have now reached a point of no return. Our Ji family also has a grudge against Zhang Taichu. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. So, all things considered, Wang Teng is the best marriage partner."

The Holy Lord of the Ji family frowned. Although he didn't want to admit it, there was some truth to what Ji Laoba said.

Not only the Holy Lord, but also the heads of the other branches of the Ji family felt that marrying Wang Teng was a good choice. Only one person objected, and that was Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue's father.

"I disagree. Why should my daughter be chosen as a marriage partner? If anyone should be chosen, it should be Ji Biyue from your lineage. She is also a prodigy of our Ji family, and her personal strength is even greater than Ziyue's. She is more suitable!"

Ji Laoba responded with a cold laugh.

"Although Biyue is not weak, she is inferior to Ziyue in terms of talent. Everyone knows this, and the Wang family must have heard about it as well. We are looking for allies now, not just a regular marriage alliance. If this matter causes resentment in the other party's heart, then we will lose more than we gain."

"In short, I disagree!"

"Hmph, this concerns the prosperity of the family. It's not something you can refuse just because you disagree. I think we should vote by raising our hands."

Ji Laoba looked at the Holy Lord of the Ji family. After some consideration, the Holy Lord decided to vote by raising his hand. Most people agreed, and only a few people who were on good terms with Ji Haoyue's father objected.

But the minority had to submit to the majority, and that's how the matter was settled.

Soon, Ji Ziyue, who was still studying at Qishi Mansion, was called back. Her brother, Ji Haoyue, was unaware of the inside story at first and thought it was some private matter, so he did not pay much attention to it.

But he soon heard rumors, especially when he learned that his family was going to marry Ji Ziyue to Wang Teng. He was so angry that he cursed and, disregarding the objections of his family, went straight back to the Ji family.

The result, of course, was not good. Although Ji Haoyue is now a cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Realm, he can be considered a minor expert.

Unfortunately, the Ji family has a large number of powerful second-level immortals in charge, so a junior like him can't cause any trouble at all.

The final result was that Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue were both confined to their homes. At the same time, the Ji family publicized the matter extensively, and the Wang family gladly accepted it. They even sent an elder of the family to the Ji family with Wang Teng to propose marriage.

Just as the Ji family was preparing to cuckold the future Emperor Ye, Zhang Taichu had already ventured deep into the eighth level of the Fire Domain and begun cultivating the eighth level of the Immortal Fire Technique, which is the Seven-Colored Flame.

The seven-colored flames are enough to pose a threat to a powerful immortal, and if combined with fire-attribute secret techniques, it would not be difficult to burn a powerful immortal to death.

Although Zhang Taichu only had the cultivation level of Immortal One, he still managed to collect a portion of the seven-colored flames by relying on the Fire Control Technique of the Sun True Scripture and the Fire Control Gourd, and began to cultivate with it.

This training lasted for three months, and the seven-colored flames, as fine as mist, could scorch magical power and easily burn through a cultivator's protective aura.

Even if it encounters a water-attribute secret technique that is its counter, it will not have a countering effect; at most, it will just be a battle of attrition.

From this perspective, it does have a bit of the mythical meaning of the Samadhi Fire.

Meanwhile, the seven-colored flames were already enough to quickly melt the immortal gold, so while Zhang Taichu was cultivating the Immortal Fire Technique, he also refined the Dao Tribulation Golden Armor on his body, making it stronger and more durable.

Just as Zhang Taichu was desperately cultivating in the Fire Domain, an unexpected person also arrived near the Fire Domain.

"My dear sisters from Yaochi, it really is you! What a coincidence!"

Yao Xi descended from the sky with graceful steps, each step exuding charm and elegance from her very core.

Although the Holy Maiden of Yaochi has not entered the Fire Domain during this period, she has not been idle.

Whenever Zhang Taichu came out to meet her, he would use the Heavenly Tribulation to temper himself, further solidify his foundation, and prepare for advancing to the Sendai Realm.

Therefore, although she is still at the peak of the Dragon Transformation stage, her strength has increased by more than 30% compared to the time of the Immortal Transformation Pool incident, and her whole body is filled with the aura of a powerful being.

Yao Xi came here because she saw someone undergoing tribulation from afar.

"Why is Senior Sister Yao here too? Could it be that she's here to refine a magical artifact?"

"Alas—I am not as fortunate as my sister. Not only does she have all kinds of magical artifacts, but I also heard that she has a sacred weapon as a trump card to protect her life. Compared with my sister, I, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang, am simply like a fake."

"Moreover, my sister has Zhang Taichu, the junior Celestial Master, by her side. I'm afraid it won't be long before she finds the Immortal Gold and uses it to forge her own Dao-inheriting weapon, right?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi had a strange expression on her face, wondering what was wrong with Yao Xi and why she was acting so sarcastic in front of her.

"If Senior Sister feels that the treatment is not good, she should report it to the sect. I believe that with the resources of Yao Guang, they should be able to provide a sacred weapon as Senior Sister's trump card for survival."

Yao Xi waved her hand.

"Don't even mention it. Yao Guang is now focused all her energy on that guy, she doesn't care about me at all. If I were to be so foolish as to ask for it, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to save face as a saintess. Sigh—my sister is so lucky."

As they were talking, Zhang Taichu finished his cultivation for the day and stepped out to meet the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

Upon seeing Zhang Taichu, Yao Xi immediately approached him.

"Tai Chu, it's been several months since we parted in Qinling. I don't know why, but seeing you has eased my recent anxieties considerably."

"Huh? I have this function?"

"Of course! Whenever I think back to a few months ago, when you used the Divine Restriction to control the Western Emperor Tower and take away the Taihuang Sword and the Nine Li Diagram in one fell swoop, I get so excited that my whole body gets hot."

Zhang Taichu was greatly surprised to see Yao Xi's ingratiating manner.

Although there are far more beautiful women than ugly women in the novel "Covering the Sky," it is still quite an achievement to be able to get a holy maiden from a sacred land to lower herself to fawn over someone like that.

Just as Zhang Taichu was secretly pleased with himself, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi walked over and intentionally separated the two of them with her body.

"Senior Sister Yao has come to the Fire Domain to refine magical artifacts, right? I think we should hurry up and go, lest we delay our important business."

Yao Xi moved a few steps to the side, facing Zhang Taichu again.

"Oh dear, the Fire Domain isn't going anywhere, and magical artifacts can be forged anytime. I also have some cultivation questions I'd like to ask Taichu. Sister Yaochi recently passed her tribulation, so why don't we find a place to reflect and consolidate our progress? That way, we can maximize our results, don't you think, Taichu?"

As the Holy Maiden of Yaochi turned her head to look at him, Zhang Taichu instantly felt the pressure of a chaotic battleground.

"Haha, you guys can talk all you want, but don't drag me into it."

Zhang Taichu decisively withdrew from the chaotic situation; he wasn't going to be foolish enough to get involved and become the target of the two women's combined attacks.

In his past life, he had seen through women: when men are present, they will unite against outsiders and be as close as comrades-in-arms.

However, if no men are present, they will quickly start fighting amongst themselves. So, in such situations, the best thing for men to do is to step aside, give up the battlefield, and let them have their say.

Zhang Taichu lightly tapped the ground with his toes, setting up a small source array. He sat cross-legged in it, and soon a layer of mist rose up, obscuring his figure so that he could not be seen from the outside.

Zhang Taichu's lightning-fast withdrawal left the two women powerless, prompting them to decisively tear each other apart.

"Yao Xi, what exactly are you here for this time? Let's be frank!"

"Hehe, fine, I'll say it. I've taken a liking to Zhang Taichu. Could you, Yaochi sister, let me have him?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was so angry she laughed.

"Did I hear that right? You, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang, actually like someone from another faction? Are you trying to cuckold the Holy Son of Yao Guang?"

"What do you mean by 'being cuckolded'? I didn't marry him! I can like whoever I want now! It's none of his business!"

"Heh, the Holy Maidens of the Holy Land are always to marry the Holy Son, unless the Holy Son dies. Are you openly violating the traditions of the Yao Guang Holy Land?"

Yao Xi is now most annoyed by people talking about tradition. Ever since she became the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang, she has always been regarded as an appendage of the Holy Son of Yao Guang.

However, deep down, she had always disliked the pretentious Holy Son of Yaoguang, especially recently, when she discovered some hidden secrets within the Holy Land and instinctively sensed a hint of danger.

This made her even more wary of the Holy Son of Yaoguang; otherwise, she wouldn't have gone out for a stroll and happened to see the lightning during the Holy Maiden of Yaochi's tribulation.

"Speaking of tradition, your Yaochi Holy Maidens have a tradition of not marrying outside the family. Does this mean that you, sister, were using Zhang Taichu from the very beginning and never intended to marry him? What is this? A honey trap?"

"You—my affairs are none of your business!"

"Hmph, then don't interfere in my affairs. Let's compete fairly and see who the final winner is!"

The above conversation was all conducted via telepathy. After all, both women were holy maidens of high status, and they couldn't bring themselves to publicly confront each other.

Of course, the bigger reason was that the two of them didn't want Zhang Taichu to see their bad side.

Unfortunately, they all underestimated Zhang Taichu's source techniques. What appeared to be a defensive source array was actually a reconnaissance array.

Within the range of this formation, any movement will be detected, including telepathic communication.

"As expected, when women argue in private, the content is quite explosive. However, Yao Xi is so aggressive, it seems she has already discovered the inside story of Yao Guang. Even if she hasn't completely investigated, she has probably figured out some clues. Should we join forces with her to deal with the Ruthless Clan?"

"Although the Yao Guang Holy Land has its problems, it is still an immortal holy land with a solid foundation. Not to mention, it also has the Imperial Weapon Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron. Perhaps we can make some plans."

Just as Zhang Taichu was making his calculations, the two women's argument grew increasingly heated, eventually escalating into a fight. At this point, Zhang Taichu could no longer pretend he didn't see it.
