Chapter 384 Yin Hong Steals the Taiji Diagram
As soon as Yin Jiao came up with this idea, he burst into laughter.
That's right. Human emperors are blessed with good fortune and protected by the true energy of Ziwei. The reason why Grand Master Xuandu didn't take direct action was because he was afraid of the backlash from this karma.
Yin Jiao calmed his unease and immediately saw the disappointment in his younger brother Yin Hong's eyes.
His face flushed, and he coaxed:
"Second brother, you and I are brothers, and this world should be shared by us."
Looking at his elder brother, whose mind had long been clouded by worldly power, Yin Hong felt a wave of disappointment wash over him, a sharp, needle-like pain piercing his heart.
He also said:
"Brother, when we were young, it was Qingfu Zhengshen and our master and senior uncles who saved us. Have you forgotten the vow you made back then?"
Yin Jiao, his face ashen, shouted to stop him:
"Don't mention her to me! If you're going to save us, why not save us completely? She's become a deity, but if Yang Jiao had saved us back then, we might have become deities by now!"
"Report—"
Outside, the messenger rushed forward, knelt down, and reported:
"Reporting, Your Highness, there is someone outside claiming to be your master."
Yin Jiao paused, then stood up and gave the order:
"Quick announcement."
Yin Hong's eyes darkened, hoping that his senior brother could persuade his elder brother to stay calm.
Guang Chengzi entered the tent and, looking at Yin Jiao, whose appearance had been drastically altered by the corruption of power, simply said in a deep voice:
"You didn't even greet your master? Is this the kind of disciple I taught?!"
Yin Jiao then rose, but did not kneel; maintaining his status, he merely bowed and said:
"Disciple greets Master."
Clearly, this scene reflects resentment stemming from Guang Chengzi's previous failure to persuade him, during which he drew his sword and pointed it at Guang Chengzi.
Guang Chengzi shook his head repeatedly, but still couldn't bear to see his disciple, whom he had watched grow up, actually die. He angrily said:
"Yin Jiao, Yin Jiao, you have cultivated in my cave for ten years. Has your master ever treated you badly?"
Yin Jiao's roots are not deep, making his cultivation difficult.
Guang Chengzi shamelessly went to Yuxu Palace to ask for elixirs that could stabilize his foundation, and all the rare and precious materials in Jiuxian Mountain were fed to him.
The magic weapon was not even mentioned in relation to Yin Jiao.
Without Guang Chengzi's instruction, even if Yin Jiao had all these powerful magical treasures, he would never have been able to use them.
Yin Jiao's heart wavered slightly, but he was unwilling to give up his power in the mortal world. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Guang Chengzi:
“Master, why don’t you stop helping Zhou and come with me to Chaoge? I’ll ask my father to appoint you as the Imperial Preceptor, just like Shen Gongbao, so you can have power and influence while still being able to cultivate your Dao?”
"presumptuous!"
Guang Chengzi shouted sternly.
He never expected that Yin Jiao had become so bewitched.
Deeply disappointed and unwilling to offer any further words of comfort, he simply said:
"Do you know what Grand Master Xuandu brought with him this time to subdue you? The Taiji Diagram! Even the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao, whose cultivation is at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal, could not withstand this magic treasure. How much do you think you are capable of finding a way out from under such a treasure?"
Yin Jiao was greatly alarmed.
But he still stubbornly insisted:
"So what if it's a Tai Chi diagram? This disciple is protected by the Purple Star True Qi!"
It's no wonder that Yin Jiao values the Ziwei True Qi as much as the Heavenly Dao. If Yin Shou didn't possess it, he would never dare to insult the Goddess Nuwa.
The spirit of Cheng Tang will never perish, and its true energy will never dissipate.
He and Yin Hong were both sons of Yin Shou, so naturally they could inherit the legacy of the Shang Dynasty and both possessed this true energy.
Guang Chengzi's eyes welled up with tears, whether from anger or genuine grief at being unable to persuade his disciple, it was unclear. He gave Yin Jiao a deep look, then shook his head and said:
"Take care of yourself."
Seeing that his elder brother did not move, Yin Hong hurriedly got up and went out to see him off.
After the two left the military camp, Yin Hongcai said:
"Master Uncle, my elder brother was tricked into coming here by Shen Gongbao. He is not a bad person at heart. You must save my elder brother."
As he spoke, Yin Hong knelt down directly in front of Guang Chengzi.
Tears welled in her eyes.
"My brother and I suffered a great calamity in our childhood. My elder brother struggled between life and death several times to protect me. He never abandoned me even in such circumstances."
Fortunately, the God of Pure Blessing intervened and bought us time. You and my master came and took us away. Since then, the brothers have been separated for ten years. He is the eldest brother, bearing more burdens than I do, and his memories of our mother are deeper. The hatred in his heart was too heavy, which is why he lost his mind and embarked on this path against the heavens.
Guang Chengzi helped Yin Hong up, his beard trembling slightly.
"How can I save him? How can I, a humble Taoist priest, save him?"
Yin Jiao had already made up his mind.
Guang Chengzi left in disappointment.
I'm just hoping tomorrow will come later.
He only hoped that Yin Jiao would come to him tonight to apologize and never enter the mortal world again. He was willing to risk his reputation to go to Yuxu Palace to beg for forgiveness.
Guang Chengzi sighed and walked away step by step.
Yin Hong, who stood behind him, had an inscrutable expression.
He stared blankly at the Taiji Diagram he had secretly stolen while kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, taking advantage of Guang Chengzi's current state of weakened cultivation and lack of vigilance.
The scroll, though only about a foot long, felt surprisingly heavy in my hand.
Yin Hong flipped his hand and put the Tai Chi diagram back into his sleeve, then walked into the military camp.
