It is not a small problem to convince the leader of Wanbao Pavilion, but for Wutan, it is not a difficult task at all.
"Han Tian, Ye Tian, go and have a look to see if the treasure house of the Great Confucian Dynasty has been destroyed. If it has not been destroyed, there should be a lot of treasures inside."
Having been with Wutan for such a long time, how could everyone not understand the meaning of his words? So, Han Tian shouted and led Shan Youde and others to rush towards the former site of the Great Confucian Imperial City.
The attitude of the Great Venerable was already very clear; he was going to protect Wu Tian to the end, so Shan Youde and the others did not need to hide anything and stayed openly.
Seeing Zhang Shi walking by, Wu Tian suddenly stopped him and asked in confusion: "Where is Luo Qiang?"
"Oh, I almost forgot about this," Zhang Shi clenched his right fist and slammed it hard on the palm of his left hand. His startling movement immediately made Wutan's heart hang in the air.
After Zhang Shi's explanation, Wu Tiancai learned that fifty years ago, the two of them heard his declaration of war and ran to Xihuzhou, saying they wanted to lend him a helping hand.
But after waiting for decades, Wutan and others still did not show up. The two of them were very skilled and bold, so they actually planned to go to Gutuo Temple to find out the truth. As a result, they were discovered by an old monk who was sweeping the floor. The old monk looked frail, but was actually very strong. The two of them were no match for him even if they joined forces.
Zhang Shi relied on his amazing speed to escape narrowly, but Luo Qiang was not so lucky and was caught red-handed.
However, after this, Zhang Shi secretly visited Gutuo Temple several times and found that Luo Qiang was not dead. On the contrary, he was living a happy life.
After repeated inquiries, Zhang Shi finally learned that the old monk who captured Luo Qiang valued Luo Qiang's talent very much and wanted to take him as a disciple. However, Luo Qiang was very stubborn and refused to do so even if he was beaten to death. The old monk had no choice but to imprison him, intending to strengthen Luo Qiang step by step and convert him to Buddhism.
The Pavilion Master asked, "Does the old monk you are talking about have only one arm?"
"Hey, Pavilion Master, how did you know that?" Zhang Shi was surprised.
The Pavilion Master smiled slightly and explained, "If I'm not mistaken, this person must be the one-armed divine monk of Gutuo Temple. According to legend, before he entered Buddhism, he was an unforgivable vicious man. He once destroyed hundreds of first-rate forces in Xihuzhou for a very small matter, with a total number of no less than one million people!"
"So crazy, isn't he even more cruel than my uncle?" Zhang Shi asked in surprise.
"Cough cough!" Wutan coughed.
"Ha!" Zhang Shi laughed dryly and quickly changed his words: "My little uncle is not cruel, he is slaying demons and eliminating evil for the people, and he is chivalrous and righteous. Yes, that's right, he is chivalrous and righteous."
Wu Tian was speechless. He looked at the Pavilion Master and motioned her to continue.
The Pavilion Master shook his head and smiled, then went on: "This incident caused a sensation in the entire Xihu Continent at the time. Finally, the Divine Monk Rāhula from the Gutuo Temple learned about it and came down in person to convert him. After this man converted to Buddhism, he realized his mistake and even cut off one of his arms. From then on, he lived in seclusion in the Gutuo Temple, practicing Buddhism with all his heart. Over time, he was known as the One-Armed Monk."
Wu Tian frowned and said, "So, this person is the disciple of the monk Ran Deng?"
“That’s right. I heard that he was loved by the monk Dipankara and taught him the Six-Character Mantra,” the Pavilion Master nodded.
"So that's how it is. If I'm not mistaken, Gu Tian might be the disciple of this one-armed monk," Wu Tian said to himself.
"It turns out that the old monk is so famous, no wonder he can subdue us easily", Luo Qiang muttered, his face suddenly changed, and he said anxiously: "Uncle, let's go and rescue Luo Qiang quickly. If it's too late, he might really be converted by the old monk."
After pondering for a while, Wutan smiled faintly and said: "No hurry, let him suffer a little, and let him clearly realize that the Samsara Continent is far from comparable to the Jueyin Ruins. Here, one wrong step may result in the loss of his life."
"Oh!" Since the master said so, Zhang Shi didn't know what to say. He responded hurriedly and chased after Han Tian and the others.
Dongfang Xiao was surprised and asked, "Did you bring your disciple out from the Jueyin Ruins?"
Wu Tian nodded, without further investigating the issue, and glanced at the people in the distance who had lost their homes but had not yet dispersed, frowned, and said, "Can we go somewhere else to talk?"
"I'd like to see what you want to use to convince me," the Pavilion Master nodded with a smile. After all, he was a local overlord who had seen countless people and could see through Wutan's little thoughts at a glance.
Wutan waved his hand, and the Pavilion Master and Dongfang Xiao only felt a flash before their eyes, and the next moment they appeared in an unfamiliar place.
Looking at the unfamiliar world in front of them, the two of them were stunned at the moment. After a long while, the Pavilion Master came back to his senses and asked in surprise: "Is this your treasure that can make you invisible?"
"Not bad!" Wutan nodded.
"Damn, this is more than just a treasure that can make you invisible, it's simply a world!" Dongfang Xiao shook his head in amazement, then approached Wutan and said with a chuckle: "Brother, do you want to sell this treasure? I'm willing to give you any amount of essence you offer."
As soon as the words fell, Dongfang Xiao immediately sensed it, and several glances shot over at him. He laughed dryly: "If you don't want to, forget it! Why are you so murderous..."
"No, murderous intent? Why is there murderous intent?"
Dongfang Xiao's body stiffened and he immediately realized that something was wrong, because in addition to the gazes of Wutan and the Pavilion Master, there was a third gaze, and the murderous aura came from this gaze.
The Pavilion Master also noticed the abnormality, and he and Dongfang Xiao looked up in confusion at the same time. The next moment, their pupils suddenly shrank, and the confusion in their eyes quickly receded, replaced by horror!
"Damn, am I blind? I actually saw a little baby in the scorching sun..." Dongfang Xiao screamed repeatedly as if he had seen a ghost, and rubbed his eyes with his hands.
Even the Pavilion Master couldn't calm down at this moment. What was the sun? It was the divine fire known as the number one in the world, which could melt everything. Even she herself didn't dare to touch the divine fire of the sun.
And now, there was a child who was only two or three years old, sitting cross-legged in the middle of the sun. This was completely against common sense and beyond her understanding.
"Don't be surprised, his name is Wuhao, and he is the way of heaven in this world," Wutan explained.
"Heavenly Way? World?" Dongfang Xiao swallowed and spoke with great difficulty: "You mean, this treasure of yours that can hide is really an independent world?"
Wu Tian nodded.
Xiao Wuhao looked at him unkindly and threatened: "Dongfang boy, I advise you not to set your sights on the Starry Realm, otherwise I will make you pay for it."
"How do you get around?"
Dongfang Xiao responded foolishly. He was in a state of confusion and felt like he was in a cloud and fog. It was so unreal that he didn't even know what he said.
When these words fell into Xiao Wuhao's ears, they had a completely different meaning. He snorted coldly, "How dare you contradict me? You really don't know how to live or die!"
Once Xiao Wuhao got angry, tragedy was inevitable. Dongfang Xiao's tragic end was also doomed. With a series of pig-slaughtering howls, he was finally beaten into a pig-like face.
During the whole process, the Pavilion Master did not intervene, but just watched coldly from the side. The more she watched, the more frightened she became, because the little boy named Wu Hao did not move at all in the scorching sun. Only a mysterious force surged in from all directions, turning into invisible fists, beating Dongfang Xiao madly.
"Could this mysterious power be the original power of the starry world? If so, Wu Tian really didn't lie. This child who looks only two or three years old is truly the way of this world," the Pavilion Master guessed secretly.
"Ouch, my face, my belly, my butt, ah! My anus, my little bird, Lord Tiandao, Lord Wuhao, please spare my life, I will never dare to have any improper thoughts again!"
Dongfang Xiao really couldn't stand the inhumane "torture" and began to beg for mercy. He also tried to resist, but it was of no use at all. Instead, he would be tortured even more "excessively".
After Wu Tian's persuasion, the farce finally ended.
Dongfang Xiao hid directly behind the Pavilion Master, but found that it was still not safe, so he hid behind Wutan, covering his lower body with one hand and his butt with the other, looking at the little devil in horror.
In his heart, he had already greeted Xiao Wuhao's ancestors for eighteen generations.
The Pavilion Master shook his head and laughed, saying calmly: "Wutian, I don't think you can give the Star Realm to this Pavilion. Besides the Star Realm, there are no other treasures here. What do you plan to give in exchange for cooperation with this Pavilion?"
Wutan did not answer, but suddenly waved his hand. Just when the Pavilion Master and Dongfang Xiao were feeling puzzled by Wutan's behavior, a golden meteor shower shot over quickly from a distance!
"This is... the essence of the gold element!" the Pavilion Master exclaimed.
Dongfang Xiao was even more unbearable. He stared at the golden rain in amazement. His saliva had flowed out of his mouth without him noticing, and his face twitched continuously as if it was cramping.
Whoosh!!!
The sound of breaking air continued to ring out, and soon, a golden hill appeared in front of them. This was the essence of the gold element. Every grain of it shone with bright light. The energy of the gold element was like a wave, surging between heaven and earth!
"How about this? Can these elemental essences be exchanged for the opportunity to cooperate with your Wanbao Pavilion?" Wutan said jokingly.
This pile of gold element essences, there are as many as one million of them, but it is only a small part of the output of the gold element spirit vein in recent years. Almost sixty years have passed since the element spirit vein was obtained. A spirit vein can produce one hundred thousand essences every year, which means six million in sixty years!
An elemental essence is extremely precious to outsiders, but in Wutan's heart, it is just a number and he has no idea about it. His only regret is that the probability of a newborn elemental vein producing essence is too low. Until now, only about 10,000 of each elemental essence have been born.
The Pavilion Master was the first to come back to his senses. He squinted his eyes, looked at Wutan and said: "It is rumored that you collected seven elemental veins in the ruins. It seems that this is not just a rumor."
"Whether it is a rumor or not, isn't it obvious now?" Wutan smiled faintly.
"Okay, I promise you, but you must give me this batch of gold essence unconditionally. After all, being tied to Shura Palace, especially to you, is risky. In addition, if someone comes to the newly built city to cause trouble, I will stop them, but once they leave the city, I will not care at all!"
Faced with millions of gold element essences, the Pavilion Master had no way to refuse, but she did not lose her mind because of this. She took all factors into consideration very carefully.
"That's enough," Wu Tian smiled.
