Chapter 368: Chapter 219: Is this the Golden Core? Divine Skills Descend Again!_3

The power of a Divinity Transformation is entirely equivalent to that of the various large and small factions within the Hundred Immortals Alliance.

Not to mention that there is the secure land of the Jiushan Realm.

If the Jiushan Sect could truly return, the days of the Hundred Immortals Alliance would be much better.

But...

Tongming Master’s face showed some hesitation.

Cheng Kong Master seemed to understand what he was thinking, and spoke up, "Are you worried about the Jiushan Sect taking your position as the Alliance Hierarch?"

Tongming Master silently nodded.

To be honest, when the Jiushan Realm withdrew from the Hundred Immortals Alliance, he could not help but feel a sense of relief.

"Don’t worry about it, both Zheng Fa and Zhang Wuyi, firstly, are not true Divinity Transformations, and secondly, don’t we have the Supreme Dao?"

"..."

Tongming Master’s eyes lit up.

"You are an inheritor of the Supreme Dao and a Divinity Transformation, with our support, what are you afraid of?"

Cheng Kong Master said with a smile, causing Tongming Master to nod repeatedly, and he also understood the rationale—

Firstly, Zheng Fa and Zhang Wuyi have insufficient hard power, and their Divinity Transformation strength is greatly limited.

Most importantly, it’s the stance of the Supreme Dao:

Cheng Kong Master wants to bolster the strength of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, to become a better aid.

But he does not want the Hundred Immortals Alliance to break free from the control of the Supreme Dao...

Otherwise, wouldn’t this be equivalent to handing the Hundred Immortals Alliance over to the Jiushan Sect?

"After the Jiushan Sect returns, naturally, you will be the leader... as for Zheng Fa and Zhang Wuyi, I see that they are talented individuals. Once things are settled, they should be taken back to the Supreme Dao for proper cultivation; it won’t be a loss for them."

As expected!

In his heart, Tongming Master even felt a bit of envy—he was only considered an outer lineage of the Supreme Dao and had never received the true cultivation of the Supreme Dao.

It was clear that Cheng Kong Master valued Zheng Fa and Zhang Wuyi more than himself...

"But what if the Jiushan Sect is unwilling? That Zheng Fa..."

Tongming Master thought for a moment and felt that Cheng Kong Master was being somewhat fanciful.

"The Jiushan Realm..." Cheng Kong Master smiled slightly and then said, "is not truly safe, it’s just a matter of... whether it’s worth it or not."

"..."

His words were cryptic, but Tongming Master understood them; such an existence as the Jiushan Realm, the Supreme Dao would likely have already been aware of—perhaps even having countermeasures.

It sounded as if dealing with the Jiushan Realm would be quite costly, and even Cheng Kong Master had to weigh if it was worth it.

Tongming Master couldn’t help but sigh softly—this was the previous generation Daoist of the Supreme Dao of the Xuanwei Five Sects.

But in his heart, he felt a bit of satisfaction; if he could subdue the Jiushan Realm, that would truly be all gain and no loss...

While he was indulging in fantasies, suddenly, a ray of light came from the direction of the Jiushan Realm.

The sun was behind them, but Tongming Master felt as if another sun had appeared before them!

This sun was brighter, more dazzling, or perhaps—closer!

"What is this?"

Tongming Master was stunned for a moment, murmuring to himself.

The young man beside Cheng Kong Master was also full of confusion.

Only Cheng Kong Master’s eyelid twitched, and a vertical pupil suddenly bloomed between his eyebrows, brimming with golden radiance, devoid of any emotion, emitting only a beam of golden light, shooting toward the distance.

After a long while, the vertical pupil on Cheng Kong Master’s forehead slowly disappeared, and his face showed a peculiar look, with a tone mixed with surprise, "Golden Core?"

"This is the Golden Core?"

Tongming Master felt as if he didn’t recognize the words "Golden Core" anymore, saying in astonishment.

"It should be... yes."

Cheng Kong Master, who had been confident before, now showed a rare hesitation, seemingly unsure himself.

"Core Formation... in this direction, with this kind of might, it should be that Zheng Fa."

Tongming Master furrowed his brows.

Hearing this, Cheng Kong Master looked at the newly appeared sun and fell silent for a long time before speaking again, "Why not, in the future, within the Hundred Immortals Alliance... you and that Zheng Fa work it out?"

"..."

Tongming Master’s eyes widened as he looked at him.

Cheng Kong Master’s unkempt old face couldn’t help but redden, and he said in a somewhat soft voice, "This Zheng Fa is extraordinary... if he joins the Supreme Dao in the future, he will surely be a talent within our sect... Don’t wrong him."

Tongming Master opened his mouth but found no words.

Just as the three of them were in an awkward moment, a new phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky.

That sun slowly rose and broke through the horizon.

In the sky, clouds gathered into layers of cloud oceans.

The three of them looked up and saw, above the cloud ocean, jade buildings and fairy dwellings faintly visible, with gods, maids, celestial soldiers, and immortal horses moving about, as if it was the dwelling place of the Heavenly Emperor.

Layer upon layer of cloud ocean, one palace after another, pressing over their heads, even Cheng Kong Master couldn’t help but feel a sense of looking up in that moment.

This phenomenon lasted for the duration of one incense stick before gradually dissipating.

The three of them, however, remained silent for a long time before the young man spoke, "Innate Divine Ability?"

Cheng Kong Master didn’t speak, merely turning his head to look at Tongming Master.

"..." Tongming Master carefully, tentatively said, "How about, let him be the Alliance Hierarch?"

"Hmm, it wouldn’t be too bad for my junior brother!"

Tongming Master silently looked up at the sky, feeling as if his previous thoughts were just a big dream, and couldn’t quite figure out—who was truly their own person of the Supreme Dao?

...

Inside the Jiushan Realm, Zheng Fa’s expression was a bit strange—

He had anticipated the Innate Divine Ability somewhat, but he did not expect it to really come again.

To tell the truth, he didn’t quite understand how this thing came to be, but the Positive and Negative Five Elements Divine Light he had obtained before was really useful.

And this time... he looked at the shadow of the Golden Crow within his Golden Core and mentally chanted.

Rainbow light flashed, and he was already at Ten Thousand Immortals Island, beside Sister Zhang.

Sister Zhang was stunned, obviously not reacting in time.

Master Pang and others beside her were also staring at him intensely.

"Innate Divine Ability, Rainbow Transformation Technique."

Zheng Fa explained with a smile to the others.

He always felt that this Innate Divine Ability was mocking him—

The Positive and Negative Five Elements Divine Light, snatching away Magical Treasures.

Rainbow Transformation Skills, snatching and fleeing.

In modern terms, this kind of behavior is just like that of a hit-and-run gangster...

"How fast is it?"

After hearing his explanation, Master Pang’s eyes lit up and he quickly asked.

"The fastest."

Zheng Fa’s face was even stranger.

"The fastest?" Master Pang didn’t quite understand this explanation, but Zheng Fa also found it somewhat hard to explain clearly.

The problem with the Rainbow Transformation Technique, just like the Positive and Negative Five Elements Divine Light, is that it possesses a form of rule-bound power.

In the modern world, the speed of any object with mass cannot exceed the speed of light, and even the speed of light is a constant.

But the Xuanwei Realm is different; variables like Spiritual Energy have a great impact on electromagnetic waves, even altering the speed of light...

And the bug with the Rainbow Transformation Technique lies in the fact that it doesn’t correspond to the constant of the speed of light but corresponds to—under that environment, the setting of the fastest speed.
