Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1261 Zhang Tianlin

Ye Qing remained noncommittal.

"Chaos Dao Tree, male ahead, although you are blessed with good fortune, you are also subject to karmic retribution!" Zhang Tianlin said, "The Chaos Dao Tree will require an even greater amount of resources to grow as it progresses!"

“The resources required for an ordinary domain lord to advance one realm will only allow you to advance a little. At the same level, the resources you need to consume are more than ten times that of others, and this number becomes more and more exaggerated as your cultivation level increases!” Zhang Tianlin said, “After I take over the Six Paths of Reincarnation Palace, I will give you that Qimen Dao Book. You must study it carefully!”

"I'll just make a copy!" Ye Qing said.

Zhang Tianlin shook his head and said, "There are still some differences between the copied version and the original. You need to study it carefully. In this universe, over the vast years, countless masters have died, and their tombs are treasure troves! Although there are some dangers, the profits from tomb raiding are extremely high. If you need resources, study diligently so you can search for them in the future!"

Ye Qing looked at Zhang Tianlin strangely and asked, "Why did you leave the original work to me?"

Zhang Tianlin laughed and said, "I have already comprehended about 70-80% of that book on Qimen Dao. The rest is beyond my comprehension no matter how much effort I put in. It's useless to keep it here. It's better to leave it to someone who can use it. Besides, after I leave, there will inevitably be a battle with the Heavenly Court, so I also look forward to your growth!"

"A war is inevitable?" Ye Qing asked. "Do you intend to seek revenge against the Emperor of Cause and Effect?"

“Of course!” Zhang Tianlin smiled and said, “My brothers followed me into this place, and in the end, the civilization behind them was slaughtered, and my people were also slaughtered. This hatred runs deep!”

He spoke calmly, but beneath that nonchalant air lay a deadly conviction!

Ye Qing asked with some curiosity, "What are your characteristics, senior?"

"Me?" Zhang Tianlin smiled and said, "Aura observation! And a pupil technique!"

"Unique?" Ye Qing asked.

Zhang Tianlin shook his head and said, "No, uniqueness is not the only way to become a Great Emperor. Moreover, the higher the realm, the less impact uniqueness has on combat. For example, among Saints, in terms of uniqueness alone, at the same level, uniqueness is not as effective at countering rarity!"

“Of course, the advantage of the unique characteristic lies in its ability to develop the body. Generally speaking, at the same level, the true qi of the unique characteristic is more abundant,” Zhang Tianlin said. “However… martial artists can completely compensate for this, and their strength can even surpass that of the unique characteristic!”

"The strength of one's true qi, to some extent, depends on the physical body. Whether it's a rare or unique characteristic, the reason their true qi is stronger is simply because their physical transformation during the breakthrough was more significant than that of ordinary characteristics!" Zhang Tianlin said. "Let me put it this way: the strength of true qi is like a container. At the same level, a martial artist maximizes the capacity of their container, and the stronger the characteristic, the greater the development of the container! As for unique characteristics, at the same level, the container is larger than other characteristics!"

"Of course, it depends on the extent of development!"

“But you don’t need to worry, kid. You’re a dual cultivator of Dao and body, and your path to awakening will have seven characteristics in the future. Among people of the same level, your true qi capacity is the largest, and since you’ve chosen the path of martial arts, you can maximize that capacity!” Zhang Tianlin said, “Of course, as a price, the resources you need to break through will naturally far exceed those of everyone else!”

Hearing Zhang Tianlin's guidance, Ye Qing felt as if he had been enlightened!

He felt that many things had a sense of clarity.

This man truly deserves to be called an emperor.

"That's right!" Zhang Tianlin said, "You have a piece of parchment in your hand, right?"

“Uh… two!” Ye Qing said.

"Two sheets?" Zhang Tianlin said, "You'd better use this parchment sparingly. This stuff is a complete contaminant, and this kind of contaminant is very evil. Using too much will shorten your lifespan, strip you of your luck, and even cause a backlash!"

“I understand!” Ye Qing said, “I generally don’t use it except when I’m in dire straits.”

Zhang Tianlin nodded, then suddenly seemed to realize something, and smiled slightly, saying, "Little guy, watch closely. When I cough up blood, release your tower!"

"How do I release it?" Ye Qing asked.

“Inject all the energy in your body… and it will come out naturally. If it still can’t be activated, then… find a way to put yourself in a desperate situation!” Zhang Tianlin said.

He suddenly sat down cross-legged!

At the same time, his mouth was slightly open!

The next instant, a gray bead slowly floated out of his mouth.

Ye Qing was horrified!

The bead was about the size of a fist, and he had no idea how Zhang Tianlin had managed to swallow it.

The entire bead radiates a gray luster, giving it an eerie and slightly sinister appearance!

Zhang Tianlin took a deep breath, and in the next instant, six beams of light of different colors appeared on his body, and these six beams of light were constantly weakening!

"Break it for me!"

Zhang Tianlin made a hand seal with his right hand, and at a certain moment, a burst of light suddenly erupted from his body.

As this light surged, the six chains of different colors shattered instantly!

"Ok?"

Zhang Tianlin suddenly hummed in agreement, then looked up at the sky and said, "Thank you!"

Immediately afterwards, he quickly focused his gaze on the beads in front of him and closed his eyes.

Ye Qing sensed an endless stream of true energy rapidly pouring into the bead.

Ye Qing could feel the power of this true energy. Similarly, he could also feel that Zhang Tianlin was controlling the true energy, and there was absolutely no leakage between him and the bead!

"Such powerful control!" Ye Qing took a deep breath.

Ye Qing waited silently, as time ticked by.

Several hours passed, and Ye Qing realized that Big Yellow Dog and the others showed no sign of returning. He felt something was strange, and his brows furrowed deeply.

Just then, he noticed that black blood was slowly seeping from Zhang Tianlin's face and from his seven orifices.

At the same time... pink downy fur began to flow down his body.

"Not good!" Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat.

Without further hesitation, all the power within him surged toward the black Great Evolution Tower at that moment!
