Chapter 513: The Fish and The Fisherman

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When an ugly caterpillar crawling on a dry trunk was turning into a beautiful butterfly that could fly freely in the sun, the most fragile moment was not when it burst out of its cocoon dripping wet drying its wings under the sun; instead, it was when it was staying in the cocoon, waiting for the metamorphosis to take place.

Right now, Zhang Lisheng’s current state was like a ‘caterpillar’ waiting for change. Only by waiting for the day when he broke out of the cocoon that he could once again take another major leap in life.

Before this metamorphosis took place, he was like a caterpillar trapped in a cocoon, tightly restrained in it. He could not cast the transformation technique that he was best at, turning him from a multi-faceted versatile and flexible player on the battlefield to just a brave player that could only face the enemy head-on.

Even though when it came to just combat power alone, his incarnation of giant ape or the Eye Beast King was still much more powerful than the Gu Sea Method and the wizard gu’s transformation combined, his surviving ability, on the other hand, was greatly declined by many times.

To make up for it, his power of controlling the water and soil that could be obtained from the ancient ancestral land gods had been increasingly refined, and even the life creation energy, which was branched out by these two power, that Nuwa used soil and water to create humans, and his power that could fix everything, by refining the stone to fix the sky, had also entered the initial stage. From all of these, he could still at least have some means of combat.

Even so, Zhang Lisheng could only use such divine powers on the land ruled by the Wizard Li tribe by burning his believers’ faith. Once he left the land that was enveloped in the beliefs, he could only use the basic power of the water and soil. Not only that, now that he was in the desert with scarce life and dry air, the power of water and soil that he could use had also been weakened to the minimum.

Feeling that the danger was approaching, Zhang Lisheng could not help but smile wryly and frown as he muttered to himself, “I’m so unlucky. Even if it’s not in my ‘home court’ like the Wizard Li tribe, if it’s in the sea or forest, plain or loess plateau, or the wilderness or hills, it’s still at least better than being on a desert. Ah what luck is this... Sigh...”

He maintained the same force of his foot on the car’s accelerator.

Under such perseverance, the sand cruising car drew a straight line in the desert, speeding smoothly and steadily. Finally, a piece of rock that looked unusually large and was about two to three ordinary adult’s heights taller than the surrounding desert appeared in front of him.

Relying on his amazing eyesight, he realized that there was no car under the low mine hill in front of him. There was only one dirty looking metal house that he could not tell what color it was under the hot sun. He slowed down his car and cautiously parked next to the house.

He opened the door and jumped out of the car. After carefully looking around at the yellow sand and the rocky area in front of him and found no abnormality, he tried to listen to the commotion in the surroundings. When he still could not discover anything, he suppressed his anxious heart and like an ape, he leapt to the door of the metal house not far away. Using just his shoulder, he crashed into the alloy door and smashed it into pieces like toilet paper.

In the middle of the groove deeply sunken in the flat top of the mine, four Taoists were wearing Yin Yang robes radiating sunlight; a headgear curving upward, that was embedded with a white jade in the middle with two pieces of Taichi strips, one black one white, behind it that would intercross with each other from time to time; four respective dusty-looking treasures of either mottled-looking rusted copper bells, ancient jade sword magnet compass or duster that had a handle made of dried wood.

One of them had ferocious-looking facial features like a butcher, one looked as gentle and elegant as jade, one was cold and aloof while the other one was amiable and friendly with a smile plastered on his face.

All of them were standing around a gushing water column that were showing a stereoscopic image. like watching a 3D movie, they watched Zhang Lisheng break through the door and each had a different expression on their faces.

“This Junior Nephew Yu is indeed as smart as the rumors. He really lured the fish into the cage.” The aloof-looking Taoist with a duster by his waist, who seemed to have the highest position among them all glanced left and right before opening his mouth. “Junior Brother Li, your fundamental practice is the Gold-to-Grass Transformation Technique so you’re very perceptive towards metal. You’re also the best in divination so do you know what metal is that door that the creature smashed through?”

“Senior Brother, you’re being too cautious. It’s already an honor for this creature’s ancestor for having the four of us Taoists, who have entered the Heaven Ascending Stage, to lay formations waiting for him to fall into our trap. Why do you still have to know about that? Just let me make my move and pull him into the formation.” The Taoist who had been smiling from the very start standing at the right side of the aloof Taoist touched the jade sword at his waist and said out loud. “Let me go! Let me go!”

Even so, he did not take any rash actions, seeing that the aloof-looking Taoist had not given his permission yet.

“Junior Brother Yu, don’t make a fuss!” The gentle looking Taoist standing at the left side of the aloof looking dissuaded when he saw the chuckling Taoist kept playing around. He turned to the leader and said, “Senior Brother, please wait for a moment,” and took out the copper bells from his waist to gently rub it a few times. With a change in his expression, he replied, “I’m afraid that metal door has a tenacity of at least triple-refined gold. This delinquent has quite an impressive physique.”

“Oh...” Upon hearing this, before the aloof-looking Taoist who asked the question could open his mouth, the leopard-eyed Taoist priest whose eyes were as round as copper bell who had stayed silent all this while suddenly chimed in loudly overjoyed. “As expected from the successor of the ancient witchcraft. He’s not yet resurrected but could already smash through a door that was as strong as a triple-refined gold like breaking through window paper. It should be interesting having a few rounds with him later...”

“Hey, Junior Brother Song, you’re the one with the Yin Yang Two Forms Compass and we’ll need to rely on you to launch the formation to strand the enemy. What do you mean ‘it should be interesting having a few rounds with him later’...” Upon seeing his Junior Brother’s excited expression, the aloof-looking old Taoist reprimanded him solemnly.

The leopard-eyes tiger-mouthed Taoist lowered his head as though he admitted his fault but his expression seemed to be disagreeing. When the old Taoist remembered this young Taoist’s unconstrained heart, he stuttered for a while and said with an even more unfriendly expression, “You, you... Sigh... If it wasn’t for the fact that this is important, and that the situation may suddenly flare up if we leave it unattended, coupled with the fact that Junior Brother Xuanyu and Junior Sister Yinxing are both in closed-door cultivation, and that Senior Brother Xing and Senior Brother Wang have gone to the witchcraft together with the Masters, leaving you the only person who is most compatible with the Yin Yang Two Forms Compass, a person with a temper like you wouldn’t have been able to leave the Mountain at all! Junior Brother Song, oh, Junior Brother Song! Killing this successor of the ancient witchcraft relates to the rise and fall of our entire Gate of Dao so you must never make any rash move as you like.”

“Senior Brother Lu, do you really think that I was a person who could not differentiate what is important?” Upon hearing the aloof-looking old Taoist devoting his attention to reprimanding himself, the big-eyes Taoist smiled coldly and said. “Look at that delinquent, even though he smashed through the metal door with one hit, it’s apparent that his muscles have also sunk a little. It’s obvious that this is a sign of insufficient refining of the body. It must have most likely been the problem left behind by transforming strange gus. How can the ancient wizard gu possibly be so easy to cultivate? I heard Xiangzhou and Lianbao said that this delinquent had mastered a type of magical shuttling omniscient power. Who knows he may just be able to break away from our formation. In that case, I might as well find an opportunity and go for a few rounds with him. Who knows? I may be able to collapse his muscles and rip off his muscles and skin him off to take revenge for Junior Nephew Tianliang. This way, the prestige of our Gate of Dao would also be restored and wouldn’t that be much easier?”

“This...” The old Taoist had never liked Song Huanzhen’s temper and because of his slightly lacking background, the old Taoist had never had much contact with him before. It had never crossed his mind that this person would actually have such thought and at once, he was rendered speechless.

At this moment, the water column showed that in the metal house that served as a temporary office and resting room, Zhang Lisheng who did not find anything gently jumped away from the door and jumped up on the mine.

“This fish is finally hooked!” Sensing that it was going to be launched soon, the same thought appeared in the mind of the four Taoists hidden in the hole. They no longer wanted to talk more and shut their eyes to attain composure to calmly prepare for making their moves.

Now that the Taoists were ready, they only needed the young man to take a few steps more to enter the mine to launch their formation. to their surprise, after Zhang Lisheng went up to the low mine, he suddenly became stunned and stopped. Abruptly, he turned around and placed a hand above his eyes to look at the distance.

“Not good...” Seeing that their fish that was about to be hooked suddenly became cautious through the water column, the elegant-looking Taoist was taken aback and said as he tapped his fingers to figure out the situation.

“What’s wrong? Has that delinquent discovered our track?” The aloof-looking Taoist asked in widened eyes.

“Senior Brother, we’re in the Four Image Formation and if we could be found by this delinquent, we wouldn’t have needed to make any ambush anymore,” The elegant-looking Taoist shook his head and smiled wryly.

“What’s wrong then?”

“I calculated the Star Fortune and I’m afraid our helpers have arrived, and this has gotten the delinquent’s attention instead.”

“Helpers? What helpers...” The aloof-looking pondered for a while before yelling in rage, “It must be the disciples from the Gate! They’re not good enough to accomplish anything, but more than enough to spoil things! And it’s said that these young generations are all elite disciples? How can they be so ignorant!”

“It’s exactly because that the disciples here in the Noah desert are the elites among the young generations that they would come to our aid. Otherwise, how would they be able to show the means that they elite disciples have...” Upon hearing the old Taoist’s words, the leopard-like big-eyed Taoist suddenly smiled strangely.

“Senior Brother Song, please don’t add more chaos into this moment,” Knowing that the big-eyes Taoist was actually born as an outer disciple in the Gate and had relied entirely on himself to finally came to a fortunate encounter to come through, the elegant-looking Taoist smiled wryly and exhorted. Then, he told the Taoist who was still smiling in front of him, “Junior Brother Yu, hurry up and use your Water Mirror Technique to contact the Junior Nephews and let’s listen to Senior Brother Lu’s order.”

“Sure, Senior Brother. Please look at my technique,” The Taoist whose smile had never wavered nodded and muttered. “Unleash the water, make it inconspicuous...”

Without warning, he opened his mouth and used his fingers to pull out a water thread that was the size of a baby fist from his throat to fill the air with a water curtain, before drawing a talisman and slapped it without warning. At once, many figures sitting in the car appeared on the water curtain.

“It’s really these few, these few... Sigh...” The aloof-looking old Taoist had already calmed down at this time. After seeing the situation in the car, he knew that if there was only one disciple with a background like Lu Shangyou in the car, he would not have to have any scruples but now that all of them were together, he had no choice but to have scruples. With no other choice, he suppressed the rage in his heart and said, “All disciples, listen to me, that delinquent has already seen your track. Stop immediately. All of you have no need to hide anymore. Immediately come aid us in the formations. Later, no matter what means you use, you must lure the delinquent into the formation!”
