Below the poetry platform.
The jeers rose and fell, one after another.
Like a tide, they fiercely slapped Chu Nan's face.
Making him feel extremely stifled and uncomfortable, his fists clenched tightly, nails digging deep into his flesh, yet he didn't notice the blood seeping out.
At this moment, Jiang Ye lightly flicked his sleeve.
He rose and, with a flash in the Void Realm, appeared at the side of the high platform.
"Fellow Daoists, now that the outcome is decided, This Divine Son will gladly accept this Qian Ling Plate!"
Before his words finished.
Jiang Ye didn't give Chu Nan a chance to react, directly waving his large hand and putting the immortal marrow and the Qian Ling Plate into his Storage Ring.
Chu Nan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he pointed at Jiang Ye, trembling, "Jiang Ye, you're playing dirty in front of everyone! Quickly return the Qian Ling Plate to me; you're the one who should have lost! If you don't return it, afterwards, my... Master will definitely come looking for trouble with you!"
Everyone in the arena scoffed.
Even a fool could see.
Chu Nan was so enraged that he was losing his mind and starting to babble nonsense.
And bringing out a non-existent Master as a shield?
If he really had one?
Why didn't he announce his name earlier?
Jiang Ye also looked speechless, asking with an indifferent smile, "May I ask, Daoist Brother, which sect is your Master from? Does he have Great Emperor cultivation?"
Chu Nan's facial expression was extremely distorted, and he pointed at Jiang Ye, unable to speak.
He had no Master.
He had merely been lucky enough to stumble upon some Legacy.
There was one when the Heavenly Dao Academy was still around, but he was dead now.
Seeing him choked, Jiang Ye casually picked up the poem, unfolded the paper, and faced him, revealing a half-smile as he said,
"Daoist Brother, please look closely; this is a poem This Divine Son specifically wrote for you!"
"Looking across the entire Myriad Domains of the Heavens, you are the only one with this honor!"
Chu Nan was slightly stunned, subconsciously looking in the direction of the voice.
At this moment, everyone else also shifted their attention.
When they saw the first character of each line, they couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
But after all, this was the Myriad Domains of the Heavens, and everyone was a Cultivator; no one had ever heard of such a maneuver before, and many people's faces showed a hint of confusion.
Someone with a quick mind reacted, secretly chuckling and whispering, "Look at the hidden message!"
Immediately, the entire venue erupted in laughter, tears streaming down their faces.
"Jiang... Jiang Ye, may you die a terrible death! You actually... Pfft!"
Chu Nan's eyes went dark, he clutched his chest, breathing rapidly, blood rushing to his heart, and immediately spat out a mouthful of vital blood.
The next second, his body swayed, and with a thud, he fell to the ground.
His Qi was chaotic, and he passed out.
At this moment, the System's voice sounded.
"Ding! The Protagonist of Destiny, Chu Nan, lost the precious Qian Ling Plate, as well as subsequent Opportunities, was so enraged that he lost a great deal of vital blood, his Origin was damaged, and his Luck value decreased by 1000!"
"Congratulations, Master, Villain Value +1000!"
Jiang Ye's lips curled into a faint, almost imperceptible smile, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness.
He glanced at Chu Nan's Luck value, which was still 2300, and was wondering whether to try killing him directly to see if he could draw out Great Emperor Tianji?
But on second thought, Jiang Ye dismissed the idea.
Although today's harvest was good, he already had over ten thousand Villain Value, but it was still far from unlocking the third stage of the Radiant God King Body.
The leeks had to be cut slowly, and cut clean.
Only then would Jiang Ye feel comfortable.
At the same time, he planned to use Chu Nan as a fishing rod.
To peek into what Great Emperor Tianji's arrangements over the years were for.
After all, Chu Nan was currently too weak; controlling his life and movements was effortless.
Judging from the fact that Great Emperor Tianji didn't appear when the Heavenly Dao Academy and Heide Dao Domain were destroyed, that Old Dog Tianji was very good at hiding.
If he killed Chu Nan directly, it would be easy to alert the enemy.
"System, why is the Cultivation Technique Chu Nan cultivates, the Three Lives Art, called the Three Fortunes Yi Dao Method?"
Jiang Ye raised the question.
"Master, there's a problem with the Three Lives Art that Chu Nan cultivates. Although the Three Lives Art appears to be fine on the surface, in reality, the person who created this Cultivation Technique set up a special method, and this special method is the Three Fortunes Yi Dao Method."
"What is the use of this Three Fortunes Yi Dao Method?"
"Ding! The System lacks specific relevant content about the Three Lives Art and cannot answer Master."
Content of the Three Lives Art?
Isn't that simple?
Jiang Ye's lips curved slightly into a cold smile, and he walked calmly to the unconscious Chu Nan.
He stood with his hands behind his back and spoke righteously to the crowd at the Dao Discussion Platform:
"Fellow Daoist Brothers, this person is extremely malicious; he provoked me repeatedly. Knowing his cultivation was insufficient, he dared not fight me openly and honestly, foolishly attempting to use his strengths to exploit my weaknesses. Chief Wang Chongming and his group can testify to this..."
"Now that Chu Hao has fallen into This Divine Son's hands, he is getting what he deserves!"
"Please disperse for now, everyone. Regarding the divine source, This Divine Son will send people to deliver it one by one later. I hope all Daoist Brothers will be understanding and forgiving!"
Upon hearing about the divine source.
All the Cultivators below the stage immediately beamed with joy, cupping their hands in thanks.
Before leaving, they didn't forget to slander Chu Hao, calling him insidious and unworthy of entering the upright Cloud Top Academy.
As for Chu Hao's life or death?
He was just a Loose Cultivator.
No one would care.
Jiang Ye's eyes grew cold as he watched the crowd gradually disperse.
He immediately activated the Yin Yang Curse Soul True Scripture, and a cold, sinister soul-capturing Qi condensed in his palm, emitting a faint black light, which he fiercely pressed onto Chu Nan's crown.
Om—
"Ahhh!!!"
At this moment, Chu Nan, who had been unconscious, suddenly woke up, screaming in heart-wrenching agony.
He only felt an unbearable pain in his Divine Soul, as if ten thousand insects were gnawing at his bones, and an extremely cold aura spread throughout his body.
Soul-searching technique!
The Yin Yang Curse Soul True Scripture was a Cultivation Technique exclusively created by Empress Hongye.
In addition to the soul-searching technique, it also had effects such as setting soul imprints and curses, absorbing the Origin of the opposite sex during Dual Cultivation, and attaching eerie curse soul power during combat. Overall, it was extremely sinister.
But it was all-encompassing, with a relatively comprehensive utility.
As his Divine Sense flowed.
All of Chu Nan's memories were fully known to Jiang Ye.
He raised his hand and slapped Chu Nan again, knocking the groaning Chu Nan unconscious once more.
"Jiang Yi, first lock this Chu Hao in a dog cage and set up a barrier so he doesn't escape."
"As you command!"
Jiang Yi appeared from a Void Realm crack, picked up Chu Nan, and instantly vanished from the spot.
"Ding! The Protagonist of Destiny, Chu Nan, was soul-searched and had a soul imprint planted by Master. His Divine Soul was severely damaged, some memories were lost, his Origin was injured, his cultivation fell, and his Luck value decreased by 1000 points!"
"Congratulations, Master, Villain Value +1000!"
Upon hearing the prompt, Jiang Ye showed a satisfied smile.
Immediately, the entire content of the Three Lives Art Cultivation Technique appeared in his mind.
"System, can you answer now?"
"Master, based on your memories, the Three Fortunes Yi Dao Method should be an extremely hidden and non-benign arrangement. Its original owner would siphon off a portion of Chu Nan's Luck value, causing Chu Nan to develop slowly, only reaching the Unity Realm at twenty-nine years old."
Jiang Ye was secretly startled upon learning the answer; Great Emperor Tianji's methods were quite peculiar!
He was indeed a character.
"System, then can this Old Dog Tianji... directly plunder the Luck of these Protagonists?"
"Master, that is impossible. No one can directly plunder Luck. It should be using this Luck power to achieve certain goals. The System speculates... it might be Great Emperor Tianji using certain secret techniques to resist the erosion of evil demonic Qi."
"So that's how it is."
Jiang Ye felt relieved.
Since that was the case, he would also begin to make arrangements for his plan against Great Emperor Tianji.
