Chapter 357 All In!
One day later, at Biyou Palace.
In the dimly lit hall, Ding Yi sat at the top, while below him stood two figures shrouded in black robes.
“Master, Xuan’er and I cultivate the Daoist scripture inherited from our bloodline, called the Azure Phoenix Flying Scripture, but we can only reach the peak of the True Person Realm.”
Zhao Ti stood there and slowly spoke to Ding Yi above.
Ding Yi listened to Zhao Ti's words, but only frowned slightly and did not say anything.
Seeing this, Zhao Ti stood there motionless, showing no sign of panic whatsoever.
This is the difference between corpse slaves and living people.
The former will not feel fear because of any atmosphere, even when facing their controller.
The latter, on the other hand, is still able to read between the lines and even be extremely cautious.
After a long pause, Ding Yi, sitting in the chair, shook his head and then asked:
Do you have any better Taoist scriptures?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ti slowly said:
"Master, I have not obtained it."
Upon hearing this answer, Ding Yi frowned. Although he had expected it, he was still somewhat disappointed.
On the other side, Zhao Xuan suddenly said:
“Master, I have a Taoist scripture that I obtained by chance, but it is only half of it.”
Ding Yi was taken aback upon hearing this, and blurted out:
"What Taoist scripture?"
Zhao Xuan continued calmly:
"This is a book that my subordinates captured when they killed foreign enemies. It seems that it was broken in half during the great battle. I obtained the first half, which is called the Five Elements Transformation Classic."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi immediately sat up straight and hurriedly asked Zhao Xuan:
"Is it possible to write it?"
Zhao Xuan said blankly:
"can."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Who would have thought that Zhao Xuan, the most unremarkable person, could bring such a surprise at the most unexpected time!
I'm sorry, I admit I went a little too far when I killed you!
Soon, a scroll and a writing brush were presented to Zhao Xuan.
It seems that because it was only half of the Daoist scripture, Zhao Xuan did not encounter any unexpected problems when he continued writing it, which led Ding Yi to believe that there was something wrong with the scripture.
However, when Ding Yi took the paper written by Zhao Xuan, his expression immediately darkened.
All that could be seen were some scribbles and symbols, not the script of the Great Liang Dynasty at all.
He immediately asked:
"What is this thing?!"
Zhao Xuan replied calmly:
"Master, I don't know either. That's how it was drawn, so I just copied it."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
This is clearly a case where someone used a special method to write the Taoist scriptures in cryptic form in order to prevent them from being burned immediately after writing!
Although I have enhanced myself, I don't know how much more of my lifespan I'll have to waste!
However, something is better than nothing, so never mind.
Ding Yi comforted himself with this thought, then put the paper away and asked:
"How is the fighting going in the various states now?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ti mechanically replied:
"Currently, Bazhou and Yizhou have agreed to cast the statues, and the process is underway in Taizhou as well."
Zhao Ti spoke lightly, but Ding Yi sensed the killing and bloodshed behind her words.
In an era where true immortals are rare, Zhao Ti and Zhao Xuan are undoubtedly the strongest beings, unless they encounter freaks like Jin Wuhuan and Yuan Xiaoxiao.
However, it is obvious that only one or two of these perverts appear every few thousand years; one was killed by himself, and the other was captured by himself.
Fate can be so ingenious sometimes.
Ding Yi pondered for a moment, then addressed the two people below:
“The construction of the statues will be entirely entrusted to Sun Qiao’er.”
"In terms of progress, we need to prepare a work report, which will be submitted every week. The report should cover every point and the time should be accurate to every hour."
"Report any unsolvable difficulties to me immediately. Also, has any news come down from the upper realm recently?"
After Ding Yi finished speaking, the Zhao siblings fell silent for a moment.
After a moment, Zhao Ti replied first:
"Master, what's the meaning of this weekly report?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi frowned, realizing that the concept of "Zhou" didn't exist here, and then said:
"Seven days constitute a week, and specific progress must be reported every seven days."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ti nodded and said:
"In that case, I understand. There has been no news coming down from the upper realm these past few days."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi felt slightly relieved, and then waved his hand, dismissing the two from the main hall.
After the Zhao siblings left, Ding Yi unfolded the secret manual he had obtained from Zhao Xuan and began to study it carefully.
It must be said that any normal person would vomit instantly upon seeing these tadpole-like runes, and their muscles would rot and their souls would wither away, eventually turning them into a corpse.
After all, these are traces of the Great Dao. Even if they were recorded using clever methods, there is no doubt that they are not something ordinary people can see.
Therefore, even though Ding Yi's soul had been tempered by spiritual energy, he still felt thirsty and his body seemed to be undergoing indescribable changes after reading the heavenly book for only a short while.
This made Ding Yi even more cautious.
"This is terrifying... If half a scroll of the Daoist scripture is this powerful, how potent must the complete Daoist canon be?"
He began to systematically reassess the strength of the True Immortals of the Upper Realm. After all, if a book was this disgusting, how good could a cultivator be?
Ding Yi sighed, then took out his brush as usual, dipped it in water, and wrote the phrase "suitable for automatic completion" on the back of the scroll.
The next moment, a notification slowly appeared in Ding Yi's field of vision.
[Currently available for enhancement; enhancement requires a lifespan of 5999 years and 23 days. Enhance now?]
Looking at the prompt in front of him, Ding Yi felt a chill in his heart, even though he was prepared.
Six thousand years!
What a terrifying number this is!
Keep in mind that before I traveled through time, the entire Chinese civilization was only five thousand years old!
However, Ding Yi thought again that six thousand years of lifespan was nothing more than a fleeting dream in the long river of history.
If I were to give up this opportunity and indulge in pleasure, I could live a peaceful life in the human and animal world.
But what if, in some future year, the Hidden Heaven Array is no longer able to stop the world-ending crisis?
Heaven and earth are in turmoil, and people's hearts are in turmoil.
Looking at the long scroll in his hand, Ding Yi suddenly recalled the scene of his first day setting foot in Daliang.
This moment is just like that moment!
A mere six thousand years of lifespan, gone!
Upon realizing this, Ding Yi burst into laughter, and then suddenly chose "yes"!
The next moment, a pure white light suddenly emanated from the scroll. This faint light, like a serpent, climbed up and down the walls of the hall, turning the dark hall as bright as day.
But after only a few breaths, the hall returned to its dark state.
However, the scroll in Ding Yi's hand had already turned into a piece of pure white jade.
