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

Chapter 148 Watching Beautiful Women Fight

Zhang Taichu removed the source array, but he still didn't try to stop the fight. Instead, he took out a few spiritual fruits from his storage artifact, found a rock to sit on, and ate the fruits while watching the beautiful women fight.

The two holy maidens, Yaochi and Yaoguang, were fighting; one was holy and the other elegant.

One is like a fairy descended to earth, the other like a lady from a noble family entering the mortal world; in short, they are each beautiful in their own way, and their fight is even more beautiful.

Zhang Taichu watched with great interest, while the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and Yao Xi had already started fighting fiercely.

Then, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi activated a secret technique, and her surging magical power transformed into hundreds of beautiful women in palace attire. They danced a charming dance, which was extremely pleasing to the eye. However, each of their movements released a talisman, and when these talismans combined, they directly blasted Yao Xi away.

Yao Xi used the Holy Light spell, which is said to be an absolute defense that can withstand any attack.

However, even the strongest defensive techniques have their limits. In Zhang Taichu's view, the so-called absolute defense does not refer to its strength, but rather its adaptability.

In other words, Holy Light is not countered by any elemental power. To break through the defense of Holy Light, you must use force. Without power exceeding its strength, it is impossible to break through.

Zhang Taichu's compressed space can also do this, and can defend against anything, whether it's earth, water, fire, wind, ice, lightning, or poison.

Even a relatively restrained secret technique like spatial tearing depends on the cultivation levels of both parties; it won't shatter upon contact.

"boom"

With a loud bang, Yao Xi was sent flying several kilometers away. Her Holy Light spell was shattered, and her absolute defense was rendered ineffective.

"Yao Xi, you're no match for me. Get out of here, or you'll lose face."

"Hmph, what's so great about that? The reason you've achieved what you have today is only because of Zhang Taichu. He used the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to greatly enhance your cultivation. Without him, you might not have been able to defeat me!"

Yao Xi's arms trembled violently from the shock, and her bones were injured, but her face was full of resentment.

"If you're so capable, get Zhang Taichu to help me too, and we'll see who's stronger then!"

Zhang Taichu would never fall for such a superficial provocation, but to his surprise, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi actually agreed.

In a flash, Zhang Taichu appeared behind the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

"No, you really agreed? Didn't you realize she was using reverse psychology?"

"I can tell."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"In the beginning, believe me, I have my reasons."

Zhang Taichu thought about it and began to understand what the Holy Maiden of Yaochi meant. However, understanding was one thing, getting him to agree was another.

As expected, when the three returned to the ground and discussed the matter, Zhang Taichu put forward his conditions.

"Fairy Yao, it's not impossible for me to help you, but you have to agree to one condition."

"Whatever the conditions, as long as it's available to others, I'll definitely give it to you."

Yao Xi blinked gently, practically saying "I'll repay you with my body."

But Zhang Taichu wouldn't have any of that. He insisted on spending hundreds of thousands to solve a problem that could be solved for a few hundred dollars. He had already done that in his past life, and he wouldn't make the same mistake again in this life.

"I want the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron from your Yao Guang Holy Land. Don't worry, it's just the right to use it. I hope you can lend it to me when I need it."

"Huh? The dragon-patterned black gold cauldron? That wasn't something I decided on either."

Yao Xi was shocked by Zhang Taichu's enormous appetite, and what he said next shocked her even more.

"Don't worry, I will wait until you have completely mastered Yao Guang before I will ask you to fulfill your promise. Before that, I will do my best to help you improve your cultivation, and I can even share some cultivation insights with you. How about it?"

Yao Xi is such a smart person. After a little thought, she felt that Zhang Taichu's words had a hidden meaning. It seemed that he was implying that there was a problem with the Yao Guang Holy Land, and that she would need to turn the tide one day so that she could naturally take control of the entire Yao Guang Holy Land.

Otherwise, the future of the Yao Guang Holy Land will definitely be decided by the Yao Guang Holy Son. Unless she can become an empress, she will always be a vassal of the Yao Guang Holy Son.

Only after a major upheaval can the person in charge be replaced, and by then it will not just be a person in charge, but the true controller.

After all, lending out imperial weapons is not something that the Holy Land's Holy Lord can decide.

Take Li Daoqing, the current Holy Lord of Yaoguang, for example. He himself has to notify the heads of each peak before using the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, let alone lending it to others, which is simply not allowed.

"Okay, I promise!"

"Very well, you truly are a heroine among women. In that case, let's begin."

Zhang Taichu unleashed a phoenix fire to heal Yao Xi's arm injury, then pulled the Holy Maiden of Yaochi back, using the Heavenly Tribulation Secret Technique as he retreated.

A dense aura of calamity erupted, and calamity clouds rapidly gathered in the sky. At the same time, Zhang Taichu also set up a Heaven-Deceiving Array Pattern around him to avoid being locked onto by the Heavenly Tribulation.

Yao Xi didn't expect Zhang Taichu to act so decisively, but she was no pushover either. She quickly adjusted her mindset, then soared into the sky, ready to face her own Dragon Transformation Tribulation!

"Boom!"

The Purple Heavenly Thunder struck down, first as scattered bolts, then as a thunderstorm, and finally as a sea of ​​thunder.

Judging from the scale of the heavenly tribulation alone, Yao Xi's foundation is far inferior to Ye Fan's. Ye Fan, who was at the fourth level of the Heavenly Tribulation, was already taking a bath in the heavenly tribulation. In terms of both scale and intensity, it was far beyond what Yao Xi could compare to.

Moreover, Yao Xi's transformation is a Dragon Transformation Tribulation, which is a whole realm higher than the Four Extremes Tribulation.

Looking at Yao Xi dancing in the heavenly tribulation in the distance, Zhang Taichu transmitted his voice to the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

"Are you trying to use her as a whetstone? To cultivate a rival for yourself?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi nodded slightly.

"Due to their gender, even the strongest talents in Beidou today would find it difficult to fight me to the death. Even if I were to go looking for trouble, they might not necessarily go all out against me."

"This is not a good thing for me."

Zhang Taichu understood immediately; this was a privilege reserved for beautiful women.

The strongest members of Beidou today, such as Wang Teng, Xiang Yufei, and Qi Lin, are all men, and they all have extraordinary backgrounds.

It's unlikely that they'll go all out to fight the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

Not to mention Zhang Taichu, the Eastern God, and Ye Fan, the Holy Body, the two of them have an even better relationship with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

Sparring is fine, but a life-or-death battle is out of the question.

For the people of Shrouding the Heavens, it is difficult to grow in battle without participating in life-or-death battles, which is why the Holy Maiden of Yaochi chose Yao Xi.

Both were renowned saintesses in the Eastern Wilderness, not only of noble birth but also possessing stunning beauty, making them long-time rivals.

Now, because of Zhang Taichu, the two have become rivals in love. If they take another step, they will become mortal enemies.

If they were to fight, they definitely wouldn't hold back.

"Thinking about it this way, nurturing Yao Xi really has many benefits."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi looked over.

"You really want the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron? If something big happens, Master will definitely not hesitate to lend out the Western Emperor Pagoda."

Zhang Taichu smiled.

"It is precisely because the Yaochi Holy Land has been kind to me that I cannot borrow the Western Emperor Tower at will. After all, battles that require the use of imperial weapons are definitely world-destroying wars. If the Western Emperor Tower is damaged as a result, wouldn't I be letting you down?"

"But the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron doesn't have this concern. It's an exchange of benefits. If it's damaged, we can find a way to compensate for it. There's no psychological burden at all."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi found this to be very reasonable and stopped trying to persuade her.

After about an hour, Yao Xi had passed the Dragon Transformation Tribulation. At this moment, she was in a more disheveled state than ever before, and even her clothes were tattered.

Zhang Taichu didn't sneak over, but instead asked the Holy Maiden of Yaochi to help her. Only after Yao Xi changed her clothes did he use Phoenix Fire to heal her injuries.

"Congratulations, Fairy Yao, on entering the Dragon Transformation Realm. Moreover, I can see that your foundation is not weak. You have reached the perfect level of the first level of the Dragon Transformation Realm as soon as you broke through. In my opinion, you only need to consolidate for about ten days before you can overcome the tribulation of the second level of the Dragon Transformation Realm."

Yao Xi sighed.

"So cultivating with Heavenly Tribulation is so quick and convenient. No wonder someone reached the Dragon Transformation Perfection so fast."

Even the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, who was being controlled by Yin and Yang, wasn't angry; this kind of competitive relationship was exactly what she wanted.

"Now you have the same conditions. If you still lose to me, you might as well slink back to the Yao Guang Holy Land. Otherwise, you'll only lose more face."

"Hmph, the outcome is still uncertain. With Tai Chu's help, I'll soon surpass you, and might even advance to the Sendai Realm before you!"

Watching the two bicker, Zhang Taichu didn't get involved. Instead, he returned to the Fire Domain to continue cultivating the eighth level of the Immortal Fire Technique.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Taichu finally mastered the eighth level of the Immortal Fire Technique. At the same time, he also reforged the Golden Armor of Tribulation, making it more powerful and able to summon heavenly tribulations faster.

At the same time, with the blessing of the Fire-Controlling Gourd, the power of the Sun God Fist was further enhanced, and it was no weaker than the Dreamy Chaos Space that combined the three profound techniques, becoming another killing move in Zhang Taichu's regular secret techniques.

On the other side, Yao Xi experienced two more tribulations in the past two months, and her cultivation successfully reached the second level of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Not only that, her physical strength and spiritual power have also improved dramatically.

She was like a thoroughbred horse that finally met its discerning owner and received the nurturing a thoroughbred should have, resulting in significant improvement in her abilities.

Although she is still no match for the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, she is showing signs of catching up.

Zhang Taichu is working so hard to cultivate Yao Xi in preparation for her to replace Weiwei as the new generation's Yao Guang Holy Lord.

After all, he had no connection with Weiwei and had never even met her. If things had gone according to the original story, it would have been impossible for him to lend out the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron.

Now that they have a connection with Yao Xi, they will naturally do their best to cultivate him and then use him as a pawn.

"I'm going into seclusion for a while now, so please don't disturb me unless it's something important."

After giving his instructions, Zhang Taichu went into a cave and protected himself with multiple source arrays and spatial arrays. He began to comprehend the profound meanings of clones and divine marks and purple gold, striving to comprehend both of these profound meanings into imperial script in one go.

Just one month after Zhang Taichu went into seclusion, Ye Fan came looking for him, bringing with him a message.

"The Northern Plains royal family is about to form a marriage alliance with the Ancient Ji family. Two months from now, the Northern Emperor Wang Teng will marry Ji Ziyue."
