I have 99 innate treasures

Chapter 402: Baihuan Daojun
Elder Jue Fa did not expect that Bai Huan Daoist would make such a decision, and his expression became complicated. If he were in the situation and faced the crisis of Bai Huan Daoist at this moment, he would definitely not put himself in danger for the sake of other people's lives.

After all, as the saying goes, 'It is better to let my friend die than to let myself die', not to mention that they are originally cultivators of the magic path, and the spirit of self-sacrifice will never appear in them. When faced with a crisis, it is already a good deed for them not to add insult to injury.

Even Elder Tian Xing, who had blamed Taoist Bai Huan at the beginning, showed a look of astonishment, as if he had met Taoist Bai Huan for the first time.

In his impression, since joining Huangquan Taoist Sect, Baihuan Taoist has never personally taken risks. Whenever he encountered any problem, he would first create an illusion and then decide whether to show up based on how things changed.

No matter how he thought about it, something like sacrificing oneself to save others like the one currently happening seemed impossible for Taoist Baihuan to do.

He even began to doubt whether everything before his eyes was just an illusion, just to make them swear to promise something.

Taoist Baihuan saw that they suddenly fell silent after he finished speaking, and after a moment's thought he knew what they were thinking.

He smiled bitterly with a hint of helplessness, shook his head and said, "If I hadn't been completely helpless, I wouldn't have killed myself. After all, a good death is worse than a miserable life. Who would want to seek death?"

"The most important reason is that even if we wait until the heaven and earth return, it is not so easy to become an immortal in the old state."

“But if we can achieve harmony within the Dinghai Divine Pearl, all these problems will no longer be problems.”

“But in my current state, even if I come across an innate treasure, I don’t have the ability to seize it. It’s better to place my hopes on you.”

Elder Jue Fa heard the desolation and determination in his tone, looked at him deeply, and said: "Even if you say it, it's true. After all, you gave up your life to save us!" After that, his expression suddenly became serious. He raised his hand and pointed, and said in a deep voice: "I swear to the heavens here. If I can escape today, I will do my best to seize the Dinghai Divine Pearl for Taoist Baihuan before his life span is completely exhausted. If you break this oath, I am willing to die!"

As soon as the oath was uttered, a thunderous sound immediately rang out between heaven and earth outside the Ruyi Jingu Bang, which frightened Zhang Qianren, who was about to approach the "big iron ball".

Inside the "big iron ball", Taoist Wanbian and Elder Tianxing looked at each other and sent a message of spiritual consciousness to each other.

"Jue Fa has a very good vision. Since he said this, I think this is not an illusion created by Bai Huan!"

"In that case, I will agree to it. After I escape, I will ask the sect master for confirmation!"

After the thought reached each other's mind, their eyes flashed slightly and they swore at the same time, their oaths loud and clear.

After they finished swearing, Taoist Baihuan couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "I feel relieved after hearing what you said!" After that, he no longer hesitated and slapped his forehead with a determined look.

"boom!"

In an instant, the head of his fake body was shattered by this palm, and the soul that resided in this fake body also disappeared, leaving only a headless wooden man with vast spiritual power pouring out and scattering.

After seeing this scene, Elder Juefa narrowed his eyes in shock. If this wooden man was a fake, it meant that the Taoist Baihuan who had appeared in front of them over the years had always been fake, and they were completely unaware of it.

Thinking of this, his mood suddenly became heavy, and he no longer felt the joy of regaining his vitality. "The Dao Lord's method is indeed extremely strange!"

It was not until this moment that Jue Fa began to believe what Taoist Bai Huan had just said.

The reason why he swore just now was that he wanted to see what level of attainment the Taoist Baihuan had in illusion techniques. Now that he has seen it, he finally understands why those Taoist monarchs twelve thousand years ago had the courage to counterattack Ziweiyuan!

While he was thinking about this, Taoist Wancai suddenly spoke in a complicated tone: "I once heard the sect master say that in the past, it was after the disappearance of Daoist Lord Qianyuan, Daoist Lord Xuanzhen, Daoist Lord Dongxu, Daoist Lord Yaoling, Daoist Lord Bixia, Daoist Lord Changsheng, Daoist Lord Taiping, Daoist Lord Dushi, Daoist Lord Dongji... that Baihuan and his men became Daoist Lords through the various treasured Taoist scriptures left behind by them."

"And their methods are not even one ten-thousandth as good as those of the Nine Great Dao Lords... But Bai Huan, who had his entire cultivation destroyed and had to rebuild to the Mahayana stage, was still able to easily deceive our senses with illusions. For several years, we could not find anything wrong. The most important thing is that he has been using a fake body to create illusions all these years. This level of attainment is really terrifying!"

After saying this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and shook his head in a heavy tone, saying: "It is really hard to imagine how terrifying the methods of the Nine Great Dao Lords are!"

Elder Tian Xing saw that the two of them had become strange since seeing the fake body of Bai Huan Taoist, and he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why do you two have to compare yourselves with those dead cultivators? The methods of the Taoist Lord are indeed unforgettable, but compared with the four emperors Qing, Jing, Shao, and Qi, they are as far apart as heaven and earth!"

He shook his head and said, "We should spend this time thinking about how to hold on until Baihuan arrives. The reason why Zhang Qianren didn't shrink the Ruyi Jingu Bang is simply because he is worried that we haven't been locked up by him and don't dare to act rashly."

"But we have wasted too much time in this 'big iron ball'. If I were him, I would try it out even if I couldn't believe it."

And the fact was just as he thought. Outside the Ruyi Jingu Bang, Zhang Qianren waited for a long time but did not see Baihuan Taoist and his group coming out of the Ruyi Jingu Bang. An idea arose in his mind that even he did not believe.

"Could it be that... they are really locked up?"

Thinking of this, he licked his lips subconsciously and was about to order the Ruyi Jingu Bang to shrink.

But just when he was about to make his move, a muffled sound suddenly came from the large metal ball that the Ruyi Jingu Bang had transformed into.

"Zhang Qianren, you might as well take a look at the jade slip of the technique you found in the main hall of my Huangquan Dao Sect. Is it real?"

Zhang Qianren was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes narrowed.

Although he was extremely interested in those skills, the foundation of all this was based on the premise that he was still alive.

"Whether it's true or false, you can kill them and then inspect them. If they are false, search them. If they are true, leave immediately!"

All the experiences he had gone through before reminded him that he had to make decisions when necessary.

If he had turned around and flew away when he first obtained the Ruyi Jingu Bang, he would not have been controlled by Fu Qingfeng at all, and all the subsequent events would not have happened.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, fearing that something might happen if he delayed, and immediately ordered the Ruyi Jingu Bang to shrink!
