Four sea dragon kings gathered together to discuss the misfortunes that befell King Long of Jinghe River.
It's somewhat like the fox weeping over the death of the rabbit. When King Zhou said "King Long of Jinghe was disrespectful to him," he immediately sent Ji Chang to chop down King Long of Jinghe without a second thought. Is that all? At least come up with a reason that's somewhat fitting! We are dragon kings, not mere shrimp soldiers or crab officers. Do we not have any dignity?
The four sea dragon kings shouted loudly, but they didn't actually dare to confront King Zhou. The West Sea Dragon King didn't dare to mention that this matter involved sages, for fear that after he finished speaking, the other three dragon kings would bind him and seek out the sages to claim their accomplishments. What did the other three dragon kings say? They all just kept nodding along.
In the end, the four sea dragon kings submitted their petition to the Heavenly Court and handed it over to Hao Tian for judgment. Our dragon family has taken our families under our wings and worked hard day and night for the Heavenly Court. Even a fart needs approval from the Heavenly Court, but now we're being bullied by humans like this. The leader must stand up for us!
Hao Tian found himself in a difficult position.
Through the Hao Tian mirror, he had already understood the cause and effect.
This incident, at first glance, appears to be just a command from King Zhou, a minor matter. In reality, it's full of deep waters!
This includes the grievances between the Feng and Long races since the time of heaven and earth creation, the will of heaven to strengthen Zhou and overthrow Shang, the struggle for national fortunes between Shang and Xiqi, disciples of Nuwa, disciples of Yuan Shi Tianzun, and designs by sages.
The waters are too deep, even Hao Tian has a hard time keeping up.
He can only try to mediate.
The source of this incident was the Dragon Maid of Dongting Lake. She's an easy target, so Hao Tian waved his pen and sentenced her to exile for fourteen years, during which she was not allowed to return to the Dragon Palace of Dongting Lake.
The King Long of the Jinghe River was also to blame for his greed for wealth and status. However, the King Long of the Jinghe River was treated extremely harshly. Among all his belongings, perhaps the most valuable is the clothing he's wearing now. Holding the mirror, Hao Tian strained his brain, studied it from various angles for a long time, but couldn't figure out how to punish him. In the end, he simply imposed a penalty of ten years' worth of stipend.
The dragon race can impose penalties, but the mortal King Zhou and Ji Chang of the Zhou Dynasty cannot be penalized. If he dares to lower a thunderbolt from the heavens to kill King Zhou, within one breath, he can send a purple thunderbolt to kill him after just 33 days in the outer universe.
To punish Deng Chanyu? Nuwa's red embroidered ball can also be used to knock people over.
Hao Tian, as a top-level potential saint, treats Ju Liuxun of the Chuan School's Twelve Golden Immortals with the same attitude as he does Deng Chanyu, a newly initiated cultivator. If he wanted to act, it would only take one move. It's estimated that Nuwa's side also treats him and Deng Chanyu the same way, with just one move being enough.
Any matter involving sages is a big deal. This time, there are Deng Chanyu and Ju Liuxun in the incident of the Jinghe River Dragon King. It's really difficult to handle.
Hao Tian racked his brains, trying to balance the dignity of the Heavenly Court and the reputation of sages. He summoned his trusted advisor Taibai Jinshi, and after a discussion between them, he sent Taibai Jinshi first to Nuwa's Palace and then to Yuxu Palace.
......
Lishan.
"It's about time. Let's get started."
Counting from the beginning, Deng Chanyu took about two weeks to refine the Green Light Two Modes Lantern. The mark of Taiyi is still there, but by now, the lantern no longer rejects her.
She chanted a spell, and her body turned into five-color light, penetrating the core of the lantern instantly.
Qingyang True Fire protected her from the burning of the Great Day Golden Flame, and soon she entered the inner world of the Green Light Two Modes Lantern.
According to the saying of Lishan Laomu, the Green Light Two Modes Lantern has been ritually refined by Emperor of the East for many years. Like many innate spiritual treasures, there is also a great universe within the lantern.
Now, this great universe was ruined to its utmost extent, with no living beings. She wandered around the inner world, but there were no opportunities to pick up bargains. Furthermore, Emperor of the East had certainly not left the Chaos Bell in the lantern.
There were no other things except barren mountains and evil waters. She found a towering mountain and sat down cross-legged, beginning her cultivation.
The Green Light Two Modes Lantern has the ability to differentiate between yin and yang. At first glance, it may seem useless, but in reality, its utility is enormous.
Extracting the two gases of yin and yang is the foundation for cultivators. For new cultivators like Deng Chanyu who have just entered the path, distinguishing between the less yang, less yin, old yang, and old yin is very difficult. It all relies on the cultivator's own control.
Today, the yang energy is divided less, and tomorrow, the yin energy is divided more. It's difficult to distinguish here, and it will be even more chaotic when transforming the eight trigrams. The cultivation effect will be greatly reduced.
The Green Light Two Modes Lantern is different. As a primitive spirit lamp, it serves as a ruler, accurately dividing yin and yang according to the most harmonious standards with the Dao of Heaven.
How to divide and how much to divide are all automatically handled by the spirit lamp, without Deng Chanyu having to worry about it. This saves her a lot of effort.
Even though the vast universe within the Green Light Two Modes Lantern is as ruined as it can be, it is still an entire world, and all the spiritual energy here belongs exclusively to Deng Chanyu.
An supreme being like Emperor of the East would have difficulty absorbing spiritual energy from this vast universe. It must be supplemented with a significant portion of the spiritual energy from the primordial world. However, there is no such problem for Deng Chanyu now. Thousands or even tens of thousands like her can cultivate within this inner world without any issues.
Due to the phoenix's ability to manifest a second body, she currently has no weaknesses and has a very high ceiling. As long as she continues to inhale and exhale spiritual energy, refining her cultivation power each day is sufficient.
As long as it doesn't kill you, train to the death.
Her cultivation speed was like a thousand li per day. She trained for one day, equivalent to ten days, one month for others, and it was almost the same as a normal cultivator training for a year. It was so fast that she was shocked herself.
