Jiangziyao is the ultimate human shield in the Banshenshi war! All causes, grudges, karma, and counter-reactions can come here!
The disciples of the Chen School are incredibly skillful at it, constantly saying things like "Uncle Jiang, let me help you" or "Brother Jiang, let me assist you." If you didn't know better, you might think that Jiangziya has a ton of friends in Kunlun Mountain.
Yang Zhao and Zhaozhong never served as officials in Xichu, but were always under the employ of Jiangziya, the prime minister.
Don't even mention Li Jing. He began to retreat from the world after Zhaohuo caused trouble, and didn't emerge until Jiangziya was preparing to break through five passes and gather eight hundred feudal lords to join Xichu. A brilliant military strategist, he never led a single soldier in Xichu; instead, he lived a life of idleness and recline.
Now, Dian Chanyu cannot directly confront the Jie School either. They have the four Zhaixian swords to suppress the spiritual fortune of their sect, so she must play her "Taunting" card at Jiangziya verbally.
Jiangziya was left standing in shock, and Dian Chanyu continued to master the art of cloud travel, her speed becoming faster and faster. Her target was the nine dragons island outside the East Sea!
Dragons can become large or small, ascend or conceal themselves, devour clouds and mist, stir up storms and waves, fly in the air, fight on land or sea. They possess a multitude of abilities that can't be fully described on two pieces of paper.
The Feicui and Longxi tribes have been fighting for so many years without being exterminated, indicating that they also have their strengths.
The Phoenix takes a shape change to the stage of "Succeeding Birds," gaining two additional divine powers along with its original fire abilities.
One is Nirvana.
When she is critically injured, she can sacrifice a large amount of cultivation to be reborn through fire.
The Longxi tribe has fallen into this trap before. When fighting against the Feicui, they shattered mountains and collapsed lands, dimmed the sun and moon, only to find that their enemy's count had not diminished at all! This was a major blow to morale.
Nirvana is also a necessary process for the phoenix to align itself with the Tao and ascend to a higher level.
The Western Sect used Xuanmen techniques to simulate the phoenix's process of Nirvana, attempting to find a way to "jump out of the cycle of birth and death" completely.
Another divine power is the Phoenix Feather Robe.
Dian Chanyu, clad in a moon-white alchemist's robe, transformed into a radiant crimson cloak-like phoenix robe with the power of divinity.
This garment is impermeable to water and fire, invulnerable to swords and spears, able to repel evil, and somewhat akin in efficacy to the Purple Sash Robe of the Holy Child.
At present, it seems that resisting attacks of the same level should be no problem. If one were to wear this robe to block the Zhaoxian Swords, it would be a death sentence.
Bringing out the phoenix clan's top figures like Yuan Feng and Ling Guang, their phoenix robes cannot withstand the Zhaoxian Sword.
Dian Chanyu flew for two hours before finally reaching the skies above the Nine Dragon Island.
Dian Chanyu herself was filled with hostility. The nine fallen dragons on this island had already dispersed their souls and spirits, but their residual consciousness faintly transmitted a message: "The Feicui tribe is not welcome here, go away!"
"Not welcome? Today, I will raze this island to pieces!"
She took out the Map of the Mountains and Rivers and the State, her gaze resolute.
The effect of driving this Primordial Treasure with the realm of immortality is different from the previous time when dealing with Yuan Fuhong.
Last time, she could not control the Map of the Mountains and Rivers at all; it operated automatically. She was only responsible for the hundred or so steps where she captured Yuan Fuhong.
Now it's different.
Her divinity has increased by a hundred times, and her control has also improved by a hundred times.
Although the Nine Dragon Island is vast, as she gradually unfurled the Map of the Mountains and Rivers, most of the island's situation appeared before her eyes.
The Three Hundred Demon Kings of the Nine Dragon Island were really good friends, always together, at this moment the four of them were drinking inside their cave.
Li Qi brought back a collection of treasures including cow bile and mulberry wood, and returned to his own cave. He took out the cow bile and boasted to Lu Yue about his contribution. With their ability, the more toxic an antidote is, the more it can be refined into an even more toxic substance.
Lu Yue's first disciple, Zhou Xin, had died in the Nanjun region, his third disciple, Zhu Tianlin, had died in the underworld, and his fourth disciple, Yang Wenhui, was not on the island. Now there was only Lu Yue himself, his fellow apprentice Chen Geng, Li Ping, and Li Qi, the troublemaker.
Lu Yue picked up the cow bile and examined it, smiling gently at Li Qi: "This is good. The original property of this substance is cold, but after being nurtured by a demon, it has turned from cold to warm. It is indeed a rare treasure that matches my Dao very well. With further refinement in the future, it will definitely become a treasure that brings about enlightenment."
Lu Yue had gazed upon a faint trace of the Dao. From his own perspective, that was indeed true. In the world, if one says it more mystically, it's about the yin and yang of things, that resources are limited. The more detoxifying treasures there are, the smaller their space to unleash plagues becomes. Conversely, it's the same.
He was satisfied with his apprentice's hasty return to present the treasure.
As for whose it originally belonged to, he didn't ask at all. It's done as long as it has a connection with me, and doesn't matter who you are!
The teacher and apprentice discussed a bit about the method of plagues, and Li Qi left, saying he needed to continue investigating the cause of Zhu Tianlin's death.
As soon as he walked to the door of the cave, he felt a violent shaking of the Nine Dragon Island. The venomous snakes and insects that Lu Yue raised were scattering in all directions. In less than two breaths, a large fissure appeared at the center of this cave, which Lu Yue called the most yin place, and looked deep into the abyss. It seemed as if the crevice had directly penetrated into the Earth's core.
How is that possible?
Li Qi wasn't afraid of earthquakes, but he was a bit surprised: "Master, what is this?"
Lu Yue sat calmly on the cloud bed, unfazed: "I suppose it's because my powers are becoming more profound and the Dao is responding to it."
Just as he finished speaking...
The next instant, the face-saving moment arrived.
Dian Chanyu shouted from outside the island: "Lu Yue! Li Qi! Steal my treasures, hurt my servants, come out for me!"
Becoming immortal officially means entering the path of cultivation, and she has qualified to call herself "the poor monk."
Lu Yue sat still and didn't move, sweeping his consciousness outward. He found that he didn't know Dian Chanyu: "Who are you? Dare you behave wildly on the Nine Dragon Island without fearing heavenly might?"
Dian Chanyu sneered coldly: "Enough! Heavenly might? You vile worm, do you not realize you are on the brink of death? Come out and see. The heavens will smite you! The earth will devour you! The souls that have been wronged and killed by your master and apprentices will come to take your lives!"
Lu Yue was stunned. He couldn't say the words "Heaven does not cover the eyes, nor does the earth bury the heart," as he didn't have such a courageous demeanor. He just felt confused. Who are you, dare you challenge me, this true immortal?
The next instant, he felt anger rising.
It's been how many years since anyone has spoken to him like this directly in the face?
His apprentices Li Qi and younger brother Chen Geng were both filled with anger, but the other younger brother Li Ping quietly advised them to maintain harmony and avoid further killing.
Dian Chanyu infused her own reddish light into the Map of the Mountains and Rivers, increasing her control over this primordial treasure even further.
The Nine Dragon Island was instantly enveloped in a raging fire. The cave of Lu Yue and his disciples was the focal point, and scorching flames descended from the clouds slowly, splitting the earth and spewing geofire. Lu Yue's five hundred-year-old venomous snakes and several acolytes fell to the ground, their bodies burning from the inside out. They were turned to ashes in an instant.
