Opportunity

Shangguan Yun had never imagined that the Dao of Nothingness could be used in such a way.

Li Tang also smiled.

"I discovered it by chance. To be honest, I'm a bit ashamed. Back then, I thought since my Dao Companions always met with bad ends, I would personally paint one I liked, but I never brought it out!"

"Of course, that failure wasn't really a failure. I realized it wasn't that I couldn't bring it out, but that the cost of fully manifesting an Immortal Master was too high!"

"But I found that if I paint myself, there aren't as many issues. I only need to inject my Soul power and consume my own Immortal Qi."

"Furthermore, the 'me' that is brought out shares the same thoughts and perspective as I do!"

"It just requires all of my Immortal Qi. But it doesn't matter; as soon as I bring it out here, I can use a Medicinal Pill to replenish it over there!"

Shangguan Yun looked at Li Tang, speechless.

"You guy, you're making me feel panicked now!"

Knowing the principle behind it, it wasn't hard to understand why this guy could defeat Mad Spear.

This bastard hides behind the scenes and fights through these Clone-like entities.

Every time he dies, he can modify his combat weaknesses.

Who could possibly fight you?

Wait, if he faced Old Zhou, it probably wouldn't work.

Because Old Zhou understands the Dao of Nothingness even better than he does.

Old Zhou has the trinity of Formlessness, Formlessness, and Nothingness.

"Anyway, I came here to tell you something!"

Li Tang: "???"

"First, regarding Jiang Chuyao, I finally know the reason she's short on money!"

Li Tang instantly became curious.

"What's the story?"

Shangguan Yun whispered, "Jiang Chuyao has a treasure in her hands. It's a supreme treasure, and it's currently in its growth stage!"

"To make that treasure grow rapidly, she needs to feed it a massive amount of Immortal Crystals!"

"Right now, the treasure has grown more than halfway. I estimate it won't be long before it takes its final form!"

Li Tang smiled.

"So, your plan can begin?"

Shangguan Yun nodded.

"I've already buried a large amount of Immortal Crystals in a certain place and subtly informed Jiang Chuyao. Once she gets those crystals, the treasure in her hand will be able to fully mature!"

"Next, we'll see if solving her financial problems leads her to obtain the Memory Pearl!"

Li Tang nodded.

"Alright, I'll keep a close eye on it then!"

But suddenly, Li Tang looked at Shangguan Yun and asked.

"Do you know a person named Gu Tianhe?"

Shangguan Yun was stunned for a moment.

"Gu Tianhe?"

"Holy crap, the nightmare of the early-stage Child of Destiny!"

Li Tang was dazed.

"Nightmare? How so?"

Shangguan Yun said, "Actually, in the previous life, after Zhou Ziming entered the Twelve Towers, he also entered a Secret Realm. Then, Zhou Ziming, who had never suffered a defeat in his life, was almost killed by Gu Tianhe!"

"Furthermore, Gu Tianhe was Zhou Ziming's nightmare for a very long time. Because every time he encountered Gu Tianhe, even as the Child of Destiny, he would always suffer defeat!"

"Later, Zhou Ziming obtained a massive amount of Opportunities before seeking out Gu Tianhe for revenge. But even then, it was only a draw!"

"Although it was a draw that time, for some reason, Gu Tianhe claimed he had lost. From then on, Gu Tianhe disappeared!"

At this point, Shangguan Yun suddenly looked at Li Tang.

"How do you know about Gu Tianhe?"

Li Tang sighed.

"Because I heard Gu Tianhe is coming to kill Zhou Ziming. He's currently in the Insect Valley, and Old Zhou has also headed there right now!"

Shangguan Yun didn't quite know what to say at this moment.

Li Tang looked at Shangguan Yun strangely.

"Looking at you, you don't seem to have much confidence in Old Zhou!"

Shangguan Yun explained.

"This person, Gu Tianhe, gives me a very strange feeling. To be honest, I even watched the final battle between Zhou Ziming and Gu Tianhe through a recording crystal back then!"

"Honestly, I felt that Gu Tianhe could still have defeated Zhou Ziming at that time. But because one of his insects died, he said he lost. I felt that was a bit forced!"

"In truth, if the Gu Tianhe of that time had truly intended to kill, Zhou Ziming would have still lost. But Gu Tianhe seemed to be weighing the pros and cons!"

Li Tang was shocked.

"Even the Child of Destiny at his Peak was no match?"

Shangguan Yun nodded.

Now, even Li Tang lost some confidence in Zhou Ziming.

However, Shangguan Yun couldn't say for sure now.

"Although the Child of Destiny at his Peak was very strong, I feel like the current Old Zhou is also quite uncanny. This time, it's hard to say who will win or lose!"

"Forget it, let's go take a look!"

Li Tang nodded.

"Let's go, let's go. A battle like this must not be missed!"

"But I believe Old Zhou can win!"

Shangguan Yun smiled.

"Alright, we'll know once we see it!"

With that, the two of them also headed toward the Insect Valley... For some reason, the news that Zhou Ziming and Gu Tianhe were going to fight suddenly spread throughout the entire Secret Realm.

Cultivators who were originally about to leave the Secret Realm couldn't help but stop in their tracks at this moment.

It was truly because these two were too famous.

One was so ridiculously powerful that he was excluded from the ranks of Geniuses.

Because Gu Tianhe was in a league of his own!

The other was rumored to be a Child of Destiny, protected by Luck, immortal, and possessing countless Opportunities.

In the future, he would also be a figure powerful enough to lead an era.

Now that these two were about to clash, how could it not attract attention!

"Let's go, let's go see!"

"It seems to be in the Insect Valley. I heard Zhou Ziming has already headed there!"

In an instant.

Cultivators were everywhere within the Insect Valley.

They were searching everywhere for Zhou Ziming and Gu Tianhe.

Soon.

Everyone discovered the two of them.

The two were currently inside a mountain valley.

However, they weren't fighting yet; instead, they were competing for their respective Opportunities.

Gu Tianhe seemed to be chasing after an insect egg.

Zhou Ziming was trying to catch a bird.

That bird was as fat as a ball.

Its wings were tiny, but they flapped extremely fast.

But someone noticed a problem.

"That's... an Ancient Poisonous Centipede egg!"

"That little bird has Phoenix blood in its body, and it's no ordinary Phoenix blood!"

Not only that.

Everyone also saw that Zhou Ziming was holding a small Dragon in his other hand.

"That's... a True Dragon hatchling!"

At this moment, everyone became completely overcome with greed.

Some even couldn't resist wanting to take action.

"No, Gu Tianhe has been famous for a long time, and I know I'm no match for him. But this Zhou Ziming, what Child of Destiny? Today I'll just..."

*Poof!*

Before the person could finish speaking.

He was suddenly incinerated by a mouthful of flames from that little fat bird.

This was just the outer edge of the little fat bird's flames.

Because its primary target was Zhou Ziming.

Zhou Ziming directly caught the flames with one hand, causing them to split and diverge outward.

The person who had mocked Zhou Ziming was also killed instantly by the diverging flames.

It could only be called a sudden disaster, but his death was not undeserved.

Seeing this, the crowd instantly calmed down.

Even Gu Tianhe, who had already collected the insect egg, couldn't help but look toward Zhou Ziming.
