#486 - Empty

Chapter 483: An Empty Building\n\nZhang Chen cast a Water Escape spell and left, heading straight for Yellow Dawn Temple. He always felt that Yellow Dawn Temple was not so simple and wanted to see if he could profit from it.

After all, his Qi Refining Technique was stuck at the second level, and he had not yet found a follow-up technique to advance to the third level.

Zhang Chen's Water Escape Technique was very fast. In just half a day, he had crossed two hundred miles and arrived at the Yellow Dawn Temple's territory.

The river water overflowed the foot of the mountain but did not submerge Yellow Dawn Temple.

Zhang Chen did not rashly rush into Yellow Dawn Temple but lurked in the water, using the water vapor to sense the Qi within Yellow Dawn Temple. After a moment, Zhang Chen jumped out of the water, his eyes looking towards Yellow Dawn Temple, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "No one? How can there be no one in Yellow Dawn Temple?"

Zhang Chen's eyes were full of bewilderment. With the help of water vapor, he sensed that there was indeed no one in Yellow Dawn Temple.

However, Zhang Chen did not rashly drill out but carefully and cautiously cast an escape spell to lurk into the soil. The next moment, he appeared in the Taoist temple above. After wandering around under the soil of the Taoist temple, he found that the entire Taoist temple was silent, without a single figure.

"It shouldn't be like this!" Zhang Chen's figure flashed and appeared in the square of the Taoist temple, looking at the empty hall, his eyes full of bewilderment: "Where did the Yellow Dawn Temple cultivators go? Could it be that they went down the mountain?"

Zhang Chen unhurriedly shuttled through the palaces, seeing all kinds of objects scattered on the ground, as well as overturned offering tables, and various decorations in a mess on the ground. It could be seen that the people of Yellow Dawn Temple had left in a hurry.

"Where did the Yellow Dawn Temple cultivators go?" Zhang Chen looked up and down the entire palace, a golden light flowing in his eyes. He saw that the divine aura that flowed above the Taoist temple in the past had also disappeared.

"I wonder if the Pool of Faith is still there." Zhang Chen was curious and cast an escape spell to lurk underground. He arrived at the Pool of Faith and saw that the Pool of Faith was empty, without any objects. The entire secret room had been emptied.

"It's really been moved away cleanly." This time, Zhang Chen did not use secret techniques but walked unhurriedly in the palace, opening his Dharma eyes to constantly observe, to see if the Yellow Heaven Tao had hidden any treasures that could not be taken away in the Taoist temple.

After Zhang Chen passed through three palaces, suddenly a burst of footsteps came, causing Zhang Chen's heart to move: "Someone?"

However, the other party's aura was only around the fourth level, not worth Zhang Chen's dodge. He was just about to find someone to ask about the changes in Yellow Dawn Temple, so he walked towards the footsteps.

"Brother Zhang, it's you." At this moment, a shout came, and Li Donglai appeared in front of Zhang Chen.

"Brother Li, it's you!" Zhang Chen also saw Li Donglai and couldn't help but be stunned. When Li Donglai awakened his bloodline, his innate ability, Steel Bones, had left a deep impression on Zhang Chen.

However, Li Donglai's bloodline ability had actually been elevated to the fourth level in a short period of one year, which was somewhat beyond Zhang Chen's expectations. This kid had a lot of good fortune and must have recently obtained a great opportunity.

"Brother Zhang, why are you here? Didn't you leave with the Yellow Heaven Tao's followers?" Li Donglai's eyes were full of astonishment.

"The Yellow Heaven Tao's Great Celestial Master, Gu Mingyue, colluded with the Peace Border Prince's Mansion and has already sold me to the Peace Border Prince's Mansion." Zhang Chen's voice was full of sighs: "That Fifth or Sixth Gentleman wants to seize my fate, using my fate's power to help Zhang Xiaohua transform, and the price is my life!"

Li Donglai's expression turned grim upon hearing this: "Outrageous! Simply outrageous! Since the Great Virtuous Teacher went into seclusion, the Yellow Heaven Tao has no longer been the Yellow Heaven Tao of the past. Don't be afraid, among the Yellow Heaven Tao's twelve Celestial Masters, Gu Mingyue alone can't stir up trouble. When you go to the main altar in the future and rely on Celestial Master Wu Changming, you will definitely have a chance to get back at him."

Zhang Chen smiled wryly. Wu Changming was now unable to protect himself, let alone take care of himself.

"Don't worry, I have already contacted another Celestial Master. When the time comes, I will take you to rely on him. Why should we be afraid of his Gu Mingyue? Does he really think that he, Gu Mingyue, can cover the sky with one hand?" Li Donglai cheered Zhang Chen on.

"Why did you come here?" Zhang Chen asked, changing the subject.

"I wanted to see if there were any treasures left here, maybe I could make a profit." Li Donglai said.

Coincidentally, the two had the same idea.

"Any gains?" Zhang Chen asked.

Li Donglai shook his head: "No! These guys moved everything away cleanly! There was originally a large bell in Yellow Dawn Temple. I thought that bell was good, but unfortunately, it was all taken away by the Yellow Dawn Temple's cultivators."

"Do you know where the Yellow Dawn Temple's cultivators went?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The Yellow Heaven Tao has caused such a big disaster in the Northern Lands. The imperial court has already begun to take action to liquidate and suppress them. If it weren't for the public officials in the court dragging their feet and mediating for the Yellow Heaven Tao, the Yellow Heaven Tao would have already suffered heavy losses. The major families and government officials in the court are secretly colluding with the Yellow Heaven Tao, constantly tipping them off. The Yellow Heaven Tao has already begun to enter a state of lurking, and the imperial court always can't exert its strength when it wants to encircle and suppress them." Li Donglai lowered his voice and said: "Especially the Yellow Heaven Tao's experts' siege of Xie Xuan, the news has already spread. The imperial court was furious after receiving the news. The Yellow Heaven Tao will have big trouble next."

Zhang Chen suddenly understood upon hearing this, no wonder the Yellow Heaven Tao abandoned the various Taoist temples on the surface.

"In that case, I will be much more relaxed in the future and don't have to worry about Gu Mingyue's liquidation." Zhang Chen said.

"What are you afraid of him for? Although Gu Mingyue is one of the twelve Celestial Masters, he can't cover the sky with one hand. When we join another Celestial Master's faction, someone will naturally make decisions for us." Li Donglai said.

Speaking of which, Li Donglai said: "I plan to leave the Northern Lands. Brother, do you want to go together? If the two of us join forces, we will definitely be able to make a name for ourselves in the Yellow Heaven Tao. I am not convinced by the Yellow Heaven Tao's Big Dipper Seven Stars and Southern Dipper Six Stars. We may not be worse than them."

Li Donglai's voice was full of determination. Zhang Chen heard Li Donglai's words and knew that the other party wanted to continue to make a name for himself in the Yellow Heaven Tao, so he no longer tried to persuade him. He now only wanted to extend his life and go to the south to develop. He did not want to have too much contact with the Yellow Heaven Tao.

As for Qi Refining Techniques, he didn't believe that there were no other Qi Refining Techniques besides the Yellow Heaven Tao.

"I still have my own things to do. I'm afraid I can't go with Brother Li." Zhang Chen said to Li Donglai: "Brother Li's strength has greatly improved. Could it be that you had some opportunity?"

"Before, the Immortal Realm opened up. I swallowed a strange long sword in the Immortal Realm, so my innate power increased. I have already mastered the power to control steel. Even if I face a Yang God expert now, I am not afraid!" Li Donglai said proudly.

"You can fight against a Yang God True Man? Can't you?" Zhang Chen looked up and down at Li Donglai. The other party only had a fourth-level bloodline talent. Why should he fight against a Yang God True Man?

"To be honest, I have already mastered the power of steel. Not only can I control the steel in the world, but I can also transform into steel bones. Even my internal organs and blood vessels have been transformed into a steel body. What the Yang God True Man has mastered is nothing more than Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire. As long as I am not trapped by him and fall into a desperate situation, he can't do anything to me." Li Donglai's voice was very proud. He stretched out his palm, and his entire arm was completely transformed into steel bones. Of course, he would not be afraid of being struck by lightning or burned by fire.

"This is not ordinary steel." Zhang Chen looked at the other party's steel arm, revealing a curious look.

Li Donglai said proudly: "Fourth-level steel!"

"What's the difference?" Zhang Chen asked curiously.

Li Donglai scratched his head: "I can't say for sure, anyway, it's very magical. Those Yang God True Men can't subdue me without special means. I can now control the power of fourth-level steel. As long as it is a magical weapon below the fourth level, it is just food in front of me."

Looking at the smug Li Donglai, Zhang Chen felt that this kid's innate ability was more than that and must have other abilities.

"You see my methods now, I will definitely stand out in the Yellow Heaven Tao. Are you really not going to follow me? If you follow me, I will take care of you in the future and will definitely make you stand out in the Yellow Heaven Tao, it will not be in vain for you and me to be brothers." Li Donglai's voice was very complacent.

Zhang Chen patted Li Donglai on the shoulder: "There are countless strange methods in this world. Although you have steel bones, you still have to be careful and cautious. Don't overturn the car."

Zhang Chen's words were full of seriousness. He felt that with Li Donglai's current temperament, he would suffer a big loss sooner or later.

"Hahaha, don't worry, I will definitely be careful. One day I will climb to the highest position and reason with the Celestial Masters." Li Donglai said.

Zhang Chen glanced at Li Donglai, pondered slightly, and took out a piece of Great Earth Yuan Magnetic Iron from his sleeve: "Since you can devour the power of steel, what do you think of this Great Earth Yuan Magnetic Iron?"

According to Zhang Chen's authority analysis, this Great Earth Yuan Magnetic Iron is a ninth-level material, between metal and non-metal. Because it was born from the Great Earth Yuan Magnetism, Zhang Chen's Earth Element authority can control it.

When Li Donglai saw the fist-sized Great Earth Yuan Magnet in Zhang Chen's hand, his eyes went straight, staring blankly at the Great Earth Yuan Magnetic Iron, his breathing began to become rapid: "Brother Zhang, where did you get such a good thing?"

"I got it from a secret realm." Zhang Chen threw the Great Earth Yuan Magnetic Iron to Li Donglai, and the Great Earth Yuan Magnetic Iron directly adhered to Li Donglai's arm.

Li Donglai's arm transformed into flesh and blood, carefully looking at the Great Earth Yuan Magnetic Iron in his hand, his voice was a little trembling: "With this thing, my bloodline revival will be more than ten times faster. It's a pity that there is too little. If I could have a Great Earth Yuan Magnetic Iron that is as big as me, I might be able to directly evolve to a ninth-level talent."

"The evolution speed is so fast?" Zhang Chen was stunned.

Li Donglai said: "You don't understand this, theoretically speaking, as long as I can obtain what level of iron ore, I can evolve to that level of cultivation. If I touch a twelfth-level iron ore, I can skip all the steps and upgrade directly."
