142: Chapter 142 Golden Palace and Jade Book!

Chapter 142: Golden Jade Tome!

"However, the prerequisite for all of this is that your husband, that Madwoman Third Aunt Wan, and the most troublesome Twin Saints of Heavenly Star must be eliminated. The four of them can be said to be the biggest troubles and hidden dangers. Although I have the immortal extermination pearl, they are not fools. To completely kill them, we can only wait for them to come to us. Only in this way can we catch them all in one fell swoop and thoroughly eradicate them to avoid future troubles and ensure no hidden dangers remain."

Zhao Changsheng's words made Madam Wen feel a bit of a chill, but after thinking it over, it was indeed the case.

"Then what is your purpose in having Savage Beard go find the Golden Flower Ancestor?"

Madam Wen shifted the topic again.

"This Golden Flower Ancestor has something I need, so no matter what, I must capture and kill him. It's also a good chance for you to see my Divine Ability and strength. Killing a Nascent Soul Early-stage Cultivator is an easy task for me; it won't require much effort at all."

Zhao Changsheng's words made Madam Wen frown again, but she didn't say anything more.

As for what the Golden Flower Ancestor had on him, she didn't care to ask.

Because right now, Madam Wen was more curious about whether Zhao Changsheng could actually do everything he said.

Could he truly unify the entire Chaotic Star Sea? If so, being with Zhao Changsheng wouldn't be so bad.

Although she might not necessarily become a Dao Companion and hold a Dual Cultivation ceremony, she could be considered half a Dao Companion.

At the very least, she wouldn't be a concubine. Even if Zhao Changsheng reached the Late Nascent Soul Stage or even the Soul Transformation Stage in the future, she could not be a concubine.

This was Madam Wen's bottom line.

"Alright, then I will wait for you to kill the Golden Flower Ancestor."

After their conversation ended, they engaged in a deep exchange.

This exchange lasted much longer than before, but neither had any complaints; both were very happy because they both gained enough benefits.

Savage Beard's efficiency was truly startlingly fast, and he soon brought the Golden Flower Ancestor over. As for the Golden Flower Ancestor, he was currently uneasy to the extreme. Along the way, he had wanted to ask Savage Beard why he would listen to someone at the Nascent Soul Early-stage.

But he opened his mouth and ultimately didn't say it. He also wanted to see just how much ability this Nascent Soul Early-stage Cultivator, Zhao Changsheng, had to make Savage Beard obey orders and make the Six Paths Extreme Saint so wary—

As well as inviting Third Aunt Wan and the others.

However, it was mainly because he couldn't run. He couldn't run at all; he didn't have the slightest chance of escape. In front of Savage Beard, the second most powerful person in the Demonic Path, he had no possibility of fleeing.

Not even a shred of possibility. This was not a joke, but a statement of fact.

Because Savage Beard was not only the second most powerful person in the Demonic Path, but there was also no small grudge between the two of them. Under these circumstances, he naturally couldn't escape from Savage Beard's hands. He had wanted to escape at the beginning, but he still failed.

Soon, the Golden Flower Ancestor was brought to Longevity Island by Savage Beard.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, I have brought this Golden Flower Ancestor. How do you want to handle him? Just say the word, and I don't mind helping."

Savage Beard's words made the Golden Flower Ancestor feel a bit of a chill, but he immediately cupped his hands and gave a slight bow to Zhao Changsheng.

"I, Golden Flower Ancestor, greet Fellow Daoist Zhao. I wonder what instructions Fellow Daoist Zhao has for having Brother Man bring me to Longevity Island?"

His face also showed a bit more respect and fear. There was no choice; the feeling Zhao Changsheng gave him was truly terrifying. Because even Savage Beard didn't dare to sit down directly, it was enough to prove how terrifying Zhao Changsheng's level was, making the Golden Flower Ancestor suspect for a moment that Zhao Changsheng was not at the Nascent Soul Early-stage, but was a Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

But after thinking carefully, it seemed impossible. After all, reaching the level of a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator at one or two hundred years old had never happened in the entire Cultivation World.

This was simply an impossible thing. Even if he were beaten to death, the Golden Flower Ancestor wouldn't believe such a thing. It could only mean that Zhao Changsheng had something that made Savage Beard wary and fearful.

Or perhaps he had some powerful backer behind him who could kill Savage Beard.

"I came here mainly to ask for a favor from you, so I asked Brother Man to bring you here. If there was any rudeness, I hope you can forgive me. But since you are here, I will be open and honest with you. I'll let you understand the purpose of my invitation."

Zhao Changsheng's somewhat long-winded words made the Golden Flower Ancestor's brow furrow even more, but he didn't dare to say anything and could only nod respectfully.

"What instructions does Fellow Daoist have? Just speak. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse in the slightest."

One must bow when under another's roof; the Golden Flower Ancestor naturally understood this principle. He had no choice but to agree. However, he was very curious about what it was.

"Actually, this matter is not very difficult for you. It can be said that no one can do it more easily than you. It just depends on whether you are willing. If you are unwilling, it would truly be a pity. If you are willing, then naturally everyone will be happy."

Listening to Zhao Changsheng's long-winded words, Savage Beard seemed to realize something, and his gaze toward the Golden Flower Ancestor held a bit more pity.

Meanwhile, the Golden Flower Ancestor was thinking about Zhao Changsheng's purpose and didn't notice Savage Beard's strange gaze at all. Even if he had, he wouldn't have known what Savage Beard was thinking.

"Fellow Daoist, if there is anything, just speak. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse. Fellow Daoist, please rest assured."

The Golden Flower Ancestor didn't want to listen to Zhao Changsheng's rambling anymore and directly urged him. To the Golden Flower Ancestor's urging, Zhao Changsheng simply smiled.

"It's actually very simple. I just hope that you will end your own life. That way, Brother Man and I won't have to act, saving us the trouble of wasting our True Essence Mana and sparing you from suffering. So, this is a happy thing for everyone. Don't you agree, Fellow Daoist?"

Before his voice had even faded, the Golden Flower Ancestor's body erupted with golden light as he bolted toward the hall entrance. However, before he could make it out, a miserable scream echoed throughout the hall.

Immediately after, the originally brilliant golden light of his escape technique turned into a ball of raging fire.

But this was only the beginning. As the fire burned, the screams became increasingly shrill, but there were no other sounds. The screaming didn't last long, vanishing after only fifteen minutes. What remained were several Storage Pouches and a pile of ashes. Looking at the Storage Pouches on the ground, Zhao Changsheng pointed his finger, taking them into his hand, and began to inspect them.

Seeing this, Savage Beard tactfully left the hall, having no intention of staying.

After Savage Beard left, Zhao Changsheng finally took out the item he wanted from the Storage Pouch.

This was a crucial item for Zhao Changsheng, so naturally, he couldn't let others see it.

Soon, a golden, brilliant Talisman flew directly out of his hand. Zhao Changsheng reached out and grabbed it.

He then examined it closely. Zhao Changsheng recognized most of the runes on it, but there were a few silver runes that made him smile. These silver runes were shaped like tadpoles, and one look at them revealed a desolate aura from the primordial era.

Besides that, there were golden light spots like beans. These light spots seemed alive, moving intermittently across the Talisman, appearing and disappearing, looking incredibly mysterious.

Seeing this, Zhao Changsheng couldn't help but marvel at the Golden Flower Ancestor's good luck.

To be able to obtain such a treasure was truly surprising.

Then, a yellow box appeared in Zhao Changsheng's hand. Inside the box was a milky-white jade plaque, also covered in silver runes, all of which were Silver Tadpole Script.

However, this jade plaque was incomplete, only half of it remained. As soon as it was seen, it came to life and bolted toward the outside. But for Zhao Changsheng, it was still not enough; he grabbed it in his hand, not allowing it to escape. This item was of great use to him, so he naturally wouldn't let it flee.

After all, he had gone to so much trouble to get this thing. If he let it escape, wouldn't all his efforts for so long have been in vain?

After putting the item away, Zhao Changsheng had no intention of continuing his research because he couldn't understand it yet. He needed to wait for that Big Rat to arrive to understand these things.

However, Zhao Changsheng didn't know when that Big Rat would arrive. He could only wait slowly; it would take at least another hundred or two hundred years.

Right now, he needed to resolve the matters of the Chaotic Star Sea first. As long as he handled the Chaotic Star Sea and unified it, everything he did next would be much more convenient, and he wouldn't need to spend much more effort or thought.

Under these circumstances, Zhao Changsheng's mood naturally improved quite a bit.

Since his mood was so good, Zhao Changsheng naturally did quite a few things.

First, he called Savage Beard over and gave him some Monster Cores.

One should know that even for someone of Savage Beard's status, obtaining a large number of Monster Cores was quite difficult.

Then, Zhao Changsheng arranged another important task.

"I want Brother Man to go to the Outer Star Sea and find an extremely desolate and huge island. This island should be very large but very desolate, without any Spiritual Veins. In short, just find such an island and record its location."

This request from Zhao Changsheng left Savage Beard stunned. He completely didn't understand Zhao Changsheng's purpose and was currently full of confusion.

"What use does such an island have?"

Savage Beard was increasingly unable to understand what Zhao Changsheng was doing, but he felt that there must be an important reason for Zhao Changsheng's actions; they weren't random.

But he still wanted to figure out what Zhao Changsheng's purpose was.

"Brother Man doesn't need to ask more. In short, just find such islands; the more the better. Don't worry about anything else, and don't ask about anything else. Just go and look. I will handle the rest myself; Brother Man doesn't need to worry. I can guarantee that it won't cause any problems, and it won't have any impact on you."

Zhao Changsheng's promise forced Savage Beard to nod and agree. Although he felt increasingly uneasy, there was nothing he could do.

"That is naturally no problem. However, should this matter wait until after Six Paths Extreme Saint, Third Aunt Wan, and the others are eliminated? After all, I can still be of some help."

Savage Beard didn't want to do this task right now. He wanted to see if Zhao Changsheng's immortal extermination pearl could truly kill Six Paths Extreme Saint, Third Aunt Wan, and the others.

To him, that was the most important thing. As for other matters, Zhao Changsheng didn't care much right now; he only wanted this task done.

"Brother Man doesn't need to worry about that. I can handle that matter smoothly on my own. I don't need to trouble Brother Man. I needed help before, but I don't anymore. Brother Man only needs to follow my arrangements; don't worry about the rest."

Zhao Changsheng directly rejected Savage Beard's goodwill and told him to do as he was told. His words made the unease in Savage Beard's heart even stronger. He was certain that there was something wrong with the task Zhao Changsheng was giving him.

"Then what exactly is the use of this matter? I hope Fellow Daoist can clearly inform me. That way, I can do it without encountering too many problems."

Savage Beard still wouldn't give up and pressed for an answer. This matter was too important; he had to ask clearly, or else he wouldn't be able to rest easy.

"Fellow Daoist really doesn't need to know. You only need to find such an island. You don't need to worry about the rest; I can handle it alone. Fellow Daoist, please rest assured, nothing will happen."

Zhao Changsheng was already a bit angry, and his words made Savage Beard even more uneasy, but he didn't say anything more.

He always felt that everything Zhao Changsheng said definitely had a problem, but he didn't know what it was. Zhao Changsheng had no intention of explaining it to him.

At this point, he could only stop talking and leave.

Watching Savage Beard's departing back, Zhao Changsheng didn't say anything more. Instead, his face darkened as he considered whether he should eliminate Savage Beard as well.
