Deng Chanyu had to say a word in her heart: The ancient people of mankind were indeed fierce.
Da Yu seemed not to excel in strength, but in fact, when he was governing the waters, he used the Heavens River Stele as a ruler, which was simply incredible... The era of Xuan Yuan Huangdi was even before Da Yu's time. The bow he left behind is not something that an ordinary person could draw.
Naza was able to pull it easily, mostly thanks to Taiyi Zhenren helping him cheat.
Deng Chanyu gave herself a buff.
She was confident because she had studied the Yellow Emperor's Yin Zuo Classic and seen the celestial book written by Xuan Yuan Huangdi as his notes. She had a sufficient understanding of the path that Xuan Yuan Huangdi followed, and this bow was not opened by sheer brute force. Of course, once one's strength reaches a certain level, one can use brute force to prove the way, regardless of any internal prohibitions or secrets; it is possible to simply pull it open with force. This is not an absolute rule.
"The Heaven and Earth Bow is in harmony with the two great truths of Heaven and Earth. The dragon antlers on the bow should also have both yin and yang attributes. As long as I reverse the yin and yang, reverse the Heaven and Earth... "Deng Chanyu is explaining the theoretical basis needed for her to draw the bow.
Li Jing is able to become a disciple of Xuanjiao 1.5 generations, Xinlong, and become a disciple of Xuanjiao 2.5 generations in the future, which is actually due to his innate talent. However, because the Master Duoer will not teach him or dare to teach him, this has caused Mr. Li to falter so far.
Lao Li is currently lacking a mentor of repute, and with just a few words from Deng Chanyu, he feels as if he has been enlightened, instantly gaining a wealth of insights into the path of cultivation.
Deng Chanyu... She's not actually trying to teach Lao Li the Dao, she doesn't even deserve the word "teach". She's just using this opportunity to delay a bit, most of her mental focus has actually shifted over to her phoenix duplicate.
Reversing the Heavens and Earth is necessary, and enough strength is also essential.
The power of the true body is still a bit short, in order to take away the Heaven and Earth Bow and Zhentian Arrow, she immediately controlled the phoenix duplicate, there's no need to wait, she needs to break through to the [Subjective Bird] stage now.
The [Chick Bird] stage has already reached its limit, she wanted to break through naturally. Now that Li Jing is willing to give up the treasure bow, she can only waste some spiritual materials temporarily.
The divine beast team was previously discovered by Ji Chang, an eighty-five-year-old man who, upon discovering that they had not only a "Flying Bear" but also phoenixes, Dang Kang, and Zhuwu, went crazy and chased them for over three hundred miles.
After several appeals, they were eventually allowed to return to Xī Qí City.
At this point, King Zhou would not be favorable to the phoenix, but Ji Chang definitely would not. The old man implied that there were treasures waiting for them in Xī Qí City, and after some deliberation, the squad ultimately decided to join him.
Ji Chang often came to discuss the ways of governing a state with Old Bear. Old Bear... can't be said to be ignorant; Qiuyou also had his own system for governing. Not to mention anything else, the smelting technology of the Jieli tribe was unique in its own right.
After Ji Chang obtained the smelting technology, he sent the master craftsman to try it out. They found that it was indeed powerful. After re- tempering the weapons of the soldiers, they were not as sharp as before, but still better by several points.
Weapons and armor are the foundation of war. The smelting technology has greatly improved, which means the fighting power of the soldiers has increased by a significant margin.
He was overjoyed, the Flying Bear really doesn't make a fuss!
He put a lot of thought into entertaining the Western Journey Team, treating them to all kinds of delicious food and drink. Even the bear, who had been eating bamboo every day, was able to enjoy fresh milk!
The squad was already traveling at will, so if someone offered to treat them, there was no harm in staying a bit longer.
While the true body was pulling the bow, the duplicate immediately halted their communal activity of eating spicy crabs, found an empty room, and the phoenix transformed into its true form, lying down on a wutong tree to feign sleep. Zhuwu and the Dragon Girl fed it spiritual materials, and the bear, who had recently gained some weight, was guarding at the door.
The purple and red fish that weighed over ten pounds felt like eating ice cream, one bite at a time.
The Crimson Water Fire Essence candy found along the way was crushed into small pieces and directly swallowed.
The dragon scale wutong tree was chopped into several pieces by the Dragon Girl with her double-edged sword, and the phoenix breathed out the Qingyang True Fire, quenching and absorbing the essence of the tree while it was being refined.
After the energy within her body reached its peak, the phoenix's body shook, and an endless stream of heart fire shot out from her chest, turning her entire body into a ball of scorching flame.
Dang Kang, Dragon Girl, and Zhuwu all retreated.
The room was instantly turned into ashes. Amidst the raging flames, the phoenix let out a clear cry, its mouth slightly open as the flames were reabsorbed into its abdomen. Then, it soared up into the sky with a sudden burst of speed.
The people of Xī Qí City looked up in awe, watching this rare sight that occurs only once every thousand years.
The previous phoenix song on Qí Mountain was more of an official promotion for Xī Qí, and actually, most people hadn't seen it. Now... They've finally witnessed it.
The sages all had a sense of it. Upon closer inspection, oh, it's the phoenix song on Qí Mountain! Then there's no problem!
Looking at the fiery red phoenix that seemed to have been reborn from the flames, Ji Chang's face was very lively, with excitement, fear, and some indescribable emotions.
Han Rong, the general of the Si Water Pass, near Xī Qí City, was stunned. Is Xī Qí about to raise its troops? After years of preparation, the beacon towers are ignited one after another from Si Water Pass to Chuan Yún Pass, then to Tongguan, Lin'antong Pass, Mangchi and Mengjin. Finally, the message reached Jiaoxia.
Lying on the dragon throne, watching songs and dances, King Zhou hurriedly summoned the old Prime Minister, Shang Rong, the Minister of Agriculture Ji Gan, and the Marquis of Military Affairs Huang Feihuang. Both king and ministers were surprised that Xī Qí would dare to be so audacious!
In their view, so-called phoenixes were fake, just tricks prepared by Ji Chang for the purpose of raising an army.
In reality... actually, the phoenix is real. Originally one meter two inches tall, it suddenly grew to two meters. Its feathers are more vibrant and dazzling, and its wings are more solid and heavy.
The phoenix is a flying bird, not known for its strength, but advancing from the [Chick Bird] stage to the [Subjective Bird] stage means officially entering "adolescence." Its strength has multiplied several times, and this feedback quickly reached Deng Chanyu's true body.
Deng Chanyu, who was discussing the relationship between "Five Evils" and "Five Virtues" at Chentang Pass, suddenly stopped talking. Li Jing was startled, "You were doing so well. Why did you stop?" He wanted to learn more.
The two yin and yang qi began to contact when she was grinding a flower needle. At this moment, Deng Chanyu had to thank the Lishan Old Mother. If it hadn't been for the grinding experience and the foundation laid beforehand, this bluff she was trying to pull now would have been quite difficult to maintain.
After reaching the required level of power, she reversed the yin and yang qi, grabbed the bow body of the Heaven and Earth Bow, and from both sides of the bow arm, strands of green light emerged. Deng Chanyu took advantage of the momentum and pulled the bowstring with force! After two breaths, the bowstring was fully drawn.
"Good!" Li Jing may have been a bit reluctant in his heart, but he still loudly cheered.
The thick-witted Deng Xiu was also on the sidelines, cheering and encouraging her sister.
Deng Chanyu found that this bow was only hard to pull at first, but once it was fully drawn, it became easier to handle.
She didn't shoot an arrow because she was afraid that the arrow would be absorbed by the 'absorbing arrow' ability of the boy from the child of Shiji Niangniang after traveling over eight hundred li.
After pulling the bow to full stretch three times in a row, feeling the strength of the Heaven and Earth Bow, she put down the bow and looked at Li Jing.
Li Jing laughed and said, "Hahaha, this bow is useless to me. It will be given to you, your Excellency."
Deng Chanyu bowed respectfully: "Thank you, brother, for your generous gift."
"Family matters don't need to be divided into two households," Li Jing said, as he reached out to wipe off the name "General Li Jing of Zhen Chentang Pass" from the Zhentian Arrow. From now on, the bow and arrow would belong to Deng Chanyu.
