Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!-Chapter 664 - 405: The Secret of the Bright Lamp, Mirage Pavilion, Jianmu Divine Tree, This Object is Destined for Me_2

"Moreover, though I am honored as the Great Qin's National Teacher, within the Pure Yang Daoist Palace where I reside, there isn't even a single treasure capable of suppressing fortunes. Your Majesty, I believe that the Jianmu Divine Tree would be most suitable."
Emperor Qin: "...."
"If they don't have any grandmasters among them, I can set out right now!" Seeing that Ying Si remained silent, Yi Chen immediately patted his chest with a clang, making a forceful promise.
There was no helping it, his Hidden Dragon Temple lacked depth and didn't possess any decent treasures to awe the masses. The halberd was barely qualified, but he certainly couldn't just stick the halberd into Falling Dragon Mountain, what would Yi Chengzi use then?
Only when the halberd is closer to hand will the enemies be further from himself, Yi Chengzi. This was a truth he had realized.
"Let not the State Preceptor be hasty, I have long since discovered their hideout, on a solitary island to the west of Great Qin in the sea."
"The lineage of that Illumination Organization, whoever they are, I will slay them one by one. This time, I will thoroughly eradicate everyone on that island, leaving none alive."
"The individual with the highest cultivation on that island should have attained a breakthrough once. However, compared to our might, this group of feeble wretches is naturally weaker. When the time comes, I'll send General Wang Jian with the Ancestral Dragon Golden Decree to accompany the State Preceptor, and we shall be impregnable."
At that moment, Ying Si's intent to kill was intense.
The words of the Emperor carried great spirit, utterly uplifting. The two born killers exchanged a glance, and Yi Chen immediately bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, when do we depart?"
"General Wang Jian needs to mobilize troops and secure all people in the Mirage Pavilion on the isolated island. That will take about a day; adjusting the Formation for teleportation will take another."
"Therefore, I believe departing in four days would be optimal!"
"Ah... ah?"
Yi Chen, confused, lifted his head. Ying Si's math skills had almost bamboozled him completely.
Soon, Ying Si's voice came again, dispelling any doubt in Yi Chen's mind.
"The National Teacher might not be aware, the Jianmu lacks innate vitality, which is why it hasn't broken through the height of nine meters. Right now, the people of Mirage Pavilion are training the sapling of the Jianmu Divine Tree at no expense, consuming massive amounts of precious materials every day to supplement the tree's spirit."
"The information I've received ensures they need at least ten more days to complete their cultivation. However, for safety's sake, I think it's best for the Daoist to depart in four days."
"Now, Great Qin has a vast enterprise, and we should save every bit we can, don't you agree, National Teacher?"
Damn, this old codger..."

Yi Chen, in awe, immediately turned his gaze to the Millennium Emperor: "Your Majesty is truly a genius; I am in admiration!"
"Ha, I have been studying the Contribution Points system treatise that the National Teacher wrote a few days ago, which has led me to a few insights."
"I still cannot put down the National Teacher's brilliant works, reading them day and night, gaining new insights daily. Through the National Teacher's works, I seem to see you wielding your mighty brush, composing masterful writings for all under the heavens!"
"So if we speak of geniuses, the National Teacher surpasses all." Emperor Qin Ying Si said with a slight smile, humbly waving his hand.
"Damn, the old man has learned my sardonic ways, utterly insidious, as slick as they come. It seems that our three-day conversation truly taught the old man quite a bit of my knowledge; I must be more cautious in the future." Yi Chen cursed to himself, then after flattering Ying Si a few more times, he left with a sweep of his wide sleeves.
Not every man's physique is the same, and it must be said that Emperor Qin Ying Si truly integrates knowledge with action, using whatever is useful, prioritizing effectiveness. He wasn't lying about that, and his learning ability was too formidable, utterly brilliant, far surpassing the mediocrity of Chief Zhang.
No need for special teaching, yet capable of deriving profound understanding from a single point; truly, this was terrifying.
As Yi Chen departed, the pearl curtain behind Ying Si was gently parted by a pristine jade hand, revealing a face that was both charming and joyous, none other than the dignified lady known as Yue Ji by Ying Si.
"Such a treasure as the Jianmu, Your Majesty is willing to gift it to Taoist Yi Chengzi?"
"There is no need for the National Teacher to take action; with Great Qin's foundation, we could also manage this matter." The elegant lady revealed rows of white teeth, smiling playfully.
"Yue Ji, you are mistaken."
"Have you not gained other insights from reading the National Teacher's treatise over these past days?" Ying Si beckoned, pulling the dignified woman into his embrace, gently patting her lifted hip with his big hands, indicating for her to sit on his lap.

"Madam, tell me, if there's something that you can take whenever you want, wherever you want, does it really matter whether it's in your name or not?"
"The State Preceptor said that my Great Qin is managing too many things, with too high a cost of rule. Now, I have indeed realized some truths."
"Consider the Jianmu Divine Tree, even if we get it, who knows how many resources would be needed to nurture it to maturity."
"With the State Preceptor's character and integrity, if the day comes when the divine tree bears the golden Jianmu fruits, or if I wish to borrow the Jianmu for a while, would the State Preceptor refuse me?"
"So, whether the Jianmu Divine Tree is in my hands or in the State Preceptor's, what difference does it make? And to take ten thousand steps back, other than planting this Jianmu sapling in Falling Dragon Mountain, where else could he plant it? After all, his Hidden Dragon Temple lacks sufficient foundation."
Ying Si chuckled, his large hand pinching the creamy chin of the majestic woman,
"Using someone else's money to do one's own business is probably the 'borrowing a chicken to lay eggs' principle the State Preceptor spoke of. Yue Ji, although you are smart, you are still too naive. In terms of schemes, you are no match for the State Preceptor."
"Impressive, Your Consort didn't realize there were so many twists and turns. But what if I'm not as good as the State Preceptor? My husband stands tall and majestic, with extraordinary wisdom. Yi Taoist's talents far exceed Yue Ji's, but my husband's wisdom is still above that of the State Preceptor. You and I are one, so in the end, Yue Ji still wins."
"Madam, your clever mouth is truly irresistible." Ying Si couldn't help but laugh heartily upon hearing this.
"Thinking of borrowing a chicken to lay eggs? Tsk, tsk, Your Majesty really is wise and valiant, extraordinarily spirited."
Above the azure abyss, a burly Daoist stroked his chin and smiled, "What a pity, Your Majesty. When I was selling the Overbearing Chicken, you were still nestled in a woman's laps."
"Borrowing a chicken to lay eggs does come with the risk of a thunderous backfire."
Yi Chen touched his own abdomen and smiled pensively. Inside his Pure Yang Flame Prison was a dead silence. Using his own 'flesh chicken,' he was beginning to have some vague ideas.
If his True Technique advanced another two or three levels and the Jianmu Divine Tree matured further, and he absorbed the Jianmu into his Pure Yang Flame Prison, nourishing that barren land with the tree's boundless vitality, who knew what spectacle that would create.
With the Pure Yang Flame Prison as the foundation, planting the roots of the Jianmu within, and recreating the universe from there, one layer of flame prison wouldn't be enough. If he could manage eighteen layers of hell, and have the Jianmu penetrate through each layer of purgatory, that would truly be a divine sight.
If one aspires to be the Martial Ancestor, one must possess the spirit befitting of the Martial Ancestor. Especially since Yi Chen had already discerned the subjective and objective nature of his Golden Finger, how could he think of doing great deeds if he didn't even dare to imagine them?
"One Jianmu swallowed whole, my fate shall be mine, not heaven's to control!"
"If my life is mine to command, then I can plant golden lotuses amidst the fire!"
"At worst, before swallowing the Jianmu, I'll find a way to split off a small sprout as a reserve, to keep the spark of this divine worldroot alive."
"In any case, even if you, Ying Si, are the Millennium Emperor, an unequaled overlord who has broken limits three times, don't even dream of freelancing from my Jianmu Divine Tree!"
"Unless you pay up!"
Once the Jianmu is swallowed, there's no more chicken, and without a chicken, how can one lay any eggs? Of course, as long as the money is right, Great Qin's National Teacher has his ways.
With his mind made up, Yi Chen instantly felt enlightened and couldn't help but smile broadly. The Daoist's joyful singing echoed once more above the azure abyss.
"I am the one who split open the heavens and earth, the Martial Ancestor~"
"Who dares to topple the incense burner of this Daoist~"
"Brave Illumination, where are you~"
"I'll beat you until your soul scatters and you only dare travel by night~"
In the midst of the cheerful singing, it didn't take long before Falling Dragon Mountain came into view, the gigantic three-eared incense burner growing from small to large before Yi Chen's eyes.
"Master! Master!"
Seeing Yi Chen descend, the multitude of strong men on the square immediately showed reverence as if they were in the presence of a deity.
Moving with majestic steps, the burly Daoist swaggered through the crowd towards the black throne above, his large hand juggling three golden iron balls, exuding a powerful aura.
