60: Chapter 60 Change
[Following the intelligence provided by Qin Wufeng, you headed straight to the core area of the Zhang family.]
[This was an area of low-lying buildings, with a two-story small building situated in the center; that was the entrance.]
[Beneath it lay a massive martial arts arena and cultivation rooms.]
[As soon as you approached, you felt the aura of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.]
[Looking closely, there was surprisingly more than one.]
["Three Martial Arts Grandmasters."]
["Zhang Long, oh Zhang Long, you've hidden yourself quite well."]
[With this strength, he could completely dominate the Chen State; what would the Wuwei Sect, Thousand Buddha Sect, or Luoyun Sect matter? They could be easily suppressed.]
[Thinking this, you crossed nearly a thousand meters in a single step, arriving at that two-story building before continuing downward.]
[Just then, a figure suddenly appeared: "Sneaking in like this, what are you thinking?"]
[The newcomer was thin and weak, like a bamboo pole, with yellowish skin and a long beard; he looked like an eccentric.]
[He was indeed one of the three Martial Arts Grandmasters.]
[You looked at him and spoke directly: "You are pregnant, You are pregnant..."]
[The eccentric laid ten eggs, which you pocketed.]
[Weakly, he pulled out a handful of Medicinal Pills, but you summoned him to forcibly perform Scuffing Shoes.]
[Another sword strike.]
[The Sword Qi swept across.]
[Within a thousand meters, all buildings shattered into a field of debris.]
[The eccentric was heavily wounded by your sword, lying motionless.]
[-93]
[This was the current power of your Sword Qi; after killing Mysterious Spirit, it had become even stronger.]
[With a single glance, you struck him down.]
[-10]
[With a twist of your body, you arrived in mid-air.]
[The commotion was too great; no amount of hiding would help now.]
[Two figures leapt out from underground, facing you.]
[A man and a woman.]
[The man wore a green robe and looked young; he held a blade and stared at you with raised eyebrows.]
[The woman was very beautiful, clutching two willow-leaf sabers as she stood beside the man, ready to strike.]
[Two Martial Arts Grandmasters.]
["You are Zhang Long."]
[Zhang Long nodded, his grip on the blade tightening: "I am."]
["Good."]
[You nodded, then erupted with full power. Taixu True Gang swirled around your body as you reached his side in an instant and slashed with your sword.]
[Zhang Long reflexively used his blade to block.]
[The woman beside him also threw flying daggers frantically, a continuous stream of hidden weapons.]
[However, they were easily intercepted by your clothes.]
[Your sword also snapped Zhang Long's blade, landing heavily on his chest and leaving a bloody gash.]
[Zhang Long retreated through the air, spitting out a mist of blood, his expression grim.]
[-23]
[He really does have some skill.]
[An ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster wouldn't be able to withstand that strike of yours.]
[The opponent only lost 23 HP; he was already quite strong.]
[You blinked slightly: "You are pregnant."]
[Flames ignited on their eyes, hearts, lower bodies, and other vital spots. With no time to defend, they began to lay black eggs.]
[Twenty in total; you took them all.]
[After all, these were future True Core Realms and important components of Choosing Heaven.]
[After they finished spitting out the eggs...]
[Zhang Long's HP was down to 37, and he grew even weaker.]
[The woman beside him had dropped even further, to 20.]
[The two hurriedly circulated their Profound Gang to resist the flames, but you stopped them: "Perform Scuffing Shoes for me."]
[It was a complete crushing.]
[In your hands, their resistance and maneuvers were simply ineffective.]
[The two dragged their broken bodies to perform Scuffing Shoes for you.]
[You unsheathed Jinghong, your heart as calm as water: "A battle with no suspense."]
["So what if you're a Peak Martial Arts Grandmaster?"]
[With one slash, the woman was the first to be dealt with; her HP emptied, and she fell to the ground, breathless.]
[Zhang Long was furious and wanted to do something, but he couldn't break free from the Scuffing Shoes behavior. Not only that, a professional smile was plastered on his face: "Guest, let me recommend a shoe polish to you."]
[You plunged your sword into his heart: "Poor fellow, I'll set you free now."]
[Chii!!]
[Zhang Long spat blood and collapsed to the ground.]
[His health bar continued to drop.]
[It soon reached zero.]
[You waited.]
[And waited.]
[Still no movement.]
[You glanced at the time, sighed, and directly severed your own heart vessels.]
[You died. After using Reverse the Future, you returned to one minute prior.]
[At this moment, you hadn't killed Zhang Long yet.]
[You released the control of Scuffing Shoes and looked at him coldly: "Are you a Transmigrator?"]
["What is a Transmigrator?"]
[Zhang Long stared at you intently: "Why on earth are you doing this?"]
["I'm not a Transmigrator."]
[Stroking your chin, you continued to ask: "Are you a Reborn?"]
["This..."]
[Zhang Long fell silent. Feeling his injuries and your power, he said helplessly, "That's right, I come from a thousand years ago."]
["Before my Rebirth, I was just an ordinary Martial Artist, only at the Inner Gang Realm."]
[You understood.]
[Another Reborn like Mysterious Spirit.]
[And both were Reborn from a thousand years ago; was there some kind of pattern?]
[You glanced at the box in the distance; that was the woman from just now.]
[After a sigh, you said nothing more and directly took his life with a single sword strike.]
[Since you had already made your move, there was no possibility of letting him go.]
[After killing Zhang Long, your Sword Qi grew even stronger.]
["Take it down."]
[Sheathing Jinghong, you looked into the distance, turned, and teleported away.]
[The people from Choosing Heaven, dressed in black, arrived and began taking over everything in this Dao.]
[By now, of the forty-nine Daos of the Chen State, you had taken nineteen.]
[In the eleventh year, you made two more moves, taking out another two suspected Transmigrators in the Chen State.]
[It turned out they were both Reborn, and the timing had changed again; this time, they were Reborn from fifteen hundred years ago, and their identities were quite ordinary.]
[They were nowhere near like Mysterious Spirit, who had a high-end identity like Great Master Huinong.]
[Their Golden Fingers were also various Cultivation Techniques from fifteen hundred years ago, combined with their own years of experience.]
[Beyond that, the most important thing was that after Rebirth, their Aptitude and Comprehension Ability were enhanced nearly a hundredfold.]
[Truly Heaven-Defying.]
[Chen State, Ice Dragon Path]
[Taixu Hall Headquarters]
[On a snowy mountain, you were writing on a piece of paper, listing the names of Transmigrators and Reborn.]
[There really are so many.]
[Transmigrators: Wei An, Zhou Zhuan, Gu Xuan, Liu Xia, Wang Jiang, Li Wudao, Situ Nan...]
[Reborn: Mysterious Spirit, Zhang Long, Murong Feng, Zhao Chuan...]
[You looked up at the heavy snow in the sky, puzzled: "What the hell kind of world is this?"]
["I really don't understand it."]
[You threw a punch, shattering a distant snowy mountain, which finally made you feel a bit better.]
[Immediately after, you entered the cultivation room to continue your secluded meditation.]
[If everything in this simulation went smoothly, you might very well Breakthrough all the way to the Martial Artist Realm.]
[Once you reached that stage, perhaps all problems could be resolved.]
[In the twelfth year, the number of people in Choosing Heaven exploded. With their help, you gained control over forty-seven Daos of the Chen State.]
[Thus, only the Chen State Capital and the Thousand Buddha Sect remained untaken.]
[Just two Daos; the risk and reward weren't proportional, so you didn't plan to act in the short term.]
[One day, Qin Wufeng arrived outside Taixu Hall.]
[From a distance, he called out loudly, "Zhou You, good news! We've found the person you were looking for."]
