Chapter 1277: Taste of One’s Own Medicine!

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

There were some who lost to Zhu Yi, but they were not really lousy in their methods. It’s just that they weren’t able to sufficiently display their powers. Eventually, they were taken down by Zhu Yi and they were only left with regrets.

Zhu Hongwu was experienced and was merciless in battles. He often wiped out all hope for his opponents when he fought them.

He only cared about the results, and not the process. What he wanted was to quickly get rid of the opponent. As long as no accidents happened, and the situation was under his control, he was pleased.

The only exception was if he had some special reason or plan to carry out.

It’s just like today. Zhu Hongwu didn’t unleash his full powers. He naturally didn’t allow himself to fail. If Zhu Yi gave his all right from the start, he was prepared to cope with it and would adjust his strategy. Although Liang Pan requested him to stall for time, he would be unable to stall for any time if he was quickly defeated.

It was only in an evenly-matched contest was he able to achieve the desired effect.

But Zhu Yi didn’t unleash his full strength right from the start, which was out of the norm. It’s as if he was telepathic with Zhu Hongwu – he didn’t try to overwhelm Zhu Hongwu and matched him move by move. This made it difficult for Zhu Hongwu to gauge what he was doing.

Although Zhu Hongwu specialized in the way of karma and was probably one of the most knowledgeable in the world in terms of it apart from Buddhist cultivators, Zhu Yi’s understanding of Buddhism wasn’t shallow either. It wasn’t easy for Zhu Hongwu to determine what his intention was.

That’s why the battle entered a stalemate, just like what Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu wanted.

But Zhu Hongwu no longer held the initiative anymore.

However, it wasn’t entirely in Zhu Yi’s hands either. Both parties wanted to stall for time to carry out their plan. Hence, the first person to finish the appropriate preparations could actively break the stalemate.

Eventually, Zhu Yi was faster by one step. That’s why he took the initiative and sealed Zhu Hongwu.

Shi Zongtang and the others who recognize this point all looked at one another. They wore complex expressions on their faces, “Zhu Hongwu has always been very decisive and fearless. It’s only Liang Pan who can restrain him. But it’s because of his resolve that he’s able to possess such great powers. It’s hard to tell the gains and losses in this situation.

Of course, it didn’t mean that Zhu Hongwu had no chance of turning the tables.

Now that the situation had entered a stalemate, Zhu Hongwu could take the advantage if he could break out of the seal before Zhu Yi formed the Immortal Soul Second Level.

A boundless radiance surged within the sealed boundary. Only the bright radiance could be seen. Nothing else was visible.

But everyone could subtly sense that there was an invisible wheel turning amidst the radiance.

As this wheel turned, it’s as if countless worlds were turning at the same time. The will of the entire Greater World was awakened and left everyone shocked.

This was the Heaven’s Gate destiny-level magic treasure, the Great Heavenly Wheels!

As the Great Heavenly Wheels appeared, Zhu Yi’s sealed boundary was covered in cracks even with the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation supplementing it. It was about to crack apart.

But at this point, a streak of golden radiance flashed across the sky, just like a long bow that extended across the sky. Amidst the golden radiance, a majestic golden bridge appeared.

The golden bridge emitted countless streaks of light. There were many flower buds around. As they bloomed, the petals were displayed and scattered in all directions. They were like heavenly flowers that fell, and there was even a celestial-like voice that was heard in the air. At the start, it was almost inaudible. But at the end, it resonated in the entire universe.

This was Zhu Yi’s destiny-level magic treasure, Higan Golden Bridge!

Once the Higan Golden Bridge appeared, it immediately suppressed the sealed boundary. As the Higan Golden Bridge’s golden light flashed, the sealed boundary turned completely flawless and sealed both Zhu Hongwu and the Great Heavenly Wheels within.

Zhu Hongwu looked at Zhu Yi coldly, “Unfilial son, you only know how to come up with such tricks. You will never make it big. When you fought Shao Qingcheng then, you reached the Advanced Nascent Soul Stage suddenly. But don’t think that you can pull the same trick on me.”

“While you possess this Higan Golden Bridge, you can’t supply your spiritual power to it since you’re trying to form the Immortal Soul Second Level. How can you challenge the Great Heavenly Wheels and I? Even with the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation, you’re not going to achieve anything!”

“Let me crush your sealed boundary!”

Zhu Hongwu lifted the Great Heavenly Wheels, as if he was lifting the world. His attack shook the Higan Golden Bridge and caused the sealed boundary to waver.

“The Great Heavenly Wheels is a merciless killing weapon and its offensive strength is very great. It’s indeed extraordinary.” Zhu Yi’s body landed on the Higan Golden Bridge at this point. Zhu Yi continued to exert pressure on the sealed boundary that trapped Zhu Hongwu. He was still writing his second essay.

His literary aura shot into the Heavens and spread in all directions. It even caused the entire Divine Lands to undulate. The aura of all scholars in the world was gathered and scholarly voices rang out in every corner of the human cultivation world.

Eventually, Zhu Yi even gathered the will of everyone apart from the scholars. It was a noble will that preached continuous improvement and advancement.

Just like how the Immortal Dragon City gathered human comrades to stand shoulder to shoulder and protect each other, this magnificent will was supplemented onto Zhu Yi and the Higan Golden Bridge now.

The will to seek continuous improvement, advancement and unwillingness to stay rooted to the same spot spread and engulfed the entire place.

The second essay that Zhu Yi was writing carried the same principle as the Essay of the Sages. But it appeared much more advanced.

The first paragraph of his Essay of the Sages mainly talked about the need to self-improve and strive for greatness. One had to open up unlimited possibilities for the future. It represented ‘creation’. Humans mustn’t remain passive and must always seek for ways to become better than they were.

The second paragraph preached the need to overcome all barriers and transcend all risks. It represented ‘transcension’. The enemy had to be transcended, barriers had to be transcended, time had to be transcended and the limits of the world had to be transcended. It’s only the momentum of humans that should never stop and limits shouldn’t be placed on it!

The third paragraph appeared normal but had a deep meaning behind it. It represented sharing, enlightenment and guidance. The concepts of saints could be explained. As long as one was willing, he could be enlightened!

The ending was a ‘Yi’ word. Although it’s just one word, it contained countless changes and possibilities.

Zhu Yi said, “The momentum of humans will never stop. Why will there be an end? Why will it stop? The word ‘Yi’ is the end, but it’s also the start. The great momentum will only continue forward; it’s boundless!”

Following this new essay that he wrote, a ball of light projection started to condense above his head.

Everyone was petrified as they saw this. They understood that Zhu Yi was cultivating the virtual entity now.

Zhu Hongwu’s pupils shrank as he saw this scene. His fist resonated with the Great Heavenly Wheels. Besides the power of the Great Heavenly Wheels, Zhu Hongwu also unleashed his full powers now.

The true meaning of his Martial Way condensed to form a huge light wheel. There was a hole in the middle of the wheel. As Zhu Hongwu punched forward, his fist penetrated through that hole.

The true meaning of his Martial Way and his physical energy interlaced together perfectly at this point. The light wheel revolved around Zhu Hongwu’s fist nicely.

It wasn’t the same as how he defended against Zhu Yi’s attack earlier. Zhu Hongwu used all his power on his attack now and raised his offensiveness and destructiveness to their extremes now. As his fist punched out, space was crushed and it really seemed as if the Heavens and Earth was going to collapse.

The expressions of everyone spectating this scene changed. What left them feeling more fearful was that the Great Heavenly Wheels’ powers intersected with Zhu Hongwu’s fist perfectly too. This frightening combination was about to cause mass destruction.

Even the Higan Golden Bridge shook slightly in the face of this fist.

Zhu Yi looked at Zhu Hongwu and the Great Heavenly Wheels, and he lowered his head slightly. “Your powers are superior to a peak state Azure Sky Dragon King, and they’re not just slightly superior too.”

But Zhu Yi didn’t stop writing and continued with his essay.

As he wrote the essay, streaks and streaks of gas were released out of Zhu Yi’s body before fusing with the light projection above his head. Within that light projection, a Literary Taiji Diagram could be seen spinning slightly. There was a Yi Daoist talisman that shone above the Literary Taiji Diagram.

The streaks of gases didn’t just contained the Heaven’s Gate mantras, Emperor of the Dead’s mantras, Emperor of Violence mantras and Buddhist mantras, they also contained the Dark Emperor’s mantras, Mount Shu’s art of swordplay and many others. Zhu Yi obtained their essence and infused them within his own understanding of mantras. With his own Heavenly Classic of the Way’s Virtue as a foundation, he kept on analyzing and absorbing them.

Zhu Hongwu spat out a long breath and shouted softly. A mystical and indescribable radiance appeared on his body suddenly. It wasn’t bright or blinding, but it contained countless concepts of the Great Dao.

The Luofu Holy Man was stunned, “Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light!”

Shi Zongtang straightened their gazes curiously and stared at Zhu Hongwu.

Zhu Hongwu and the Great Heavenly Wheel’s strength became even greater with the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light supplementing them. The sealed boundary started to break apart. The Higan Golden Bridge was about to be flipped over, while the Nine Luminaries Heaven-Crushing Formation also jerked.

Only Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan were not entirely shocked, although they were a little surprised. As Yue Hongyan shouted softly, she landed on the Higan Golden Bridge along with the Saros Magical Tree. She stood beside Zhu Yi. The suppressive strength of the Saros Magical Tree was also added onto the sealed boundary and helped to stabilized it.

The tree branches swayed in the wind and a dark golden light was emitted. This light engulfed the place and blocked off all the attacks aimed towards Zhu Yi.

Zhu Hongwu turned pale. He understood that this was all part of the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ plan.

Zhu Yi and the others deduced that he didn’t retreat in Tianjing. Zhu Yi wanted to spar with him but didn’t want any others interfering. That’s why Yue Hongyan came to the Blizzard County. With his character, he wouldn’t return to Tianjing after he exited his retreat. He would come to find trouble with Yue Hongyan.

Zhu Yi left the Great Sun Avatar with Yue Hongyan and could rush over anytime. Right now, Zhu Yi’s plan was working out well. It was going according to his wishes. He could use his essay to cultivate the virtual entity, while Yue Hongyan’s Saros Magical Tree could protect him.

With Shi Tianhao and Li Yuanfang at Tianjing, the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai couldn’t leave. The Divine Martial Army couldn’t attack in great scale either. As long as these two forces didn’t appear, the rest of Great Zhou’s forces couldn’t deal with the Saros Magical Tree!

From the start, the Celestial Sect of Wonders wanted to use Zhu Hongwu to help Zhu Yi reach the Immortal Soul Second Level when they suppressed the Great Zhou!
