Lü Yue crossed the East China Sea and arrived in the southern region.
Seeing Ya Ji healing the sick and saving people, he was filled with jealousy and resentment, but he had lost his body, soul, magical treasures, and cultivation. He couldn't take revenge, so he could only continue floating.
Floating and floating, he floated into a steep mountain. In the cave, he saw an old man with black animal skins, wearing a strange mask.
The old man's cultivation, in Lü Yue's eyes, was extremely high, on par with Duobao Taoist, who was in charge of daily affairs in the Jie sect, even a level higher.
"Brother, who are you?" Lü Yue asked.
The old man revealed his crooked teeth and spoke with a heavy nasal accent: "I have been secluded for many years and no longer involve myself in worldly affairs. I have even forgotten my name. However, since the brother is asking about it, I assume we are peers in Dao. Just call me Pan Wang."
He looked up and down at Lü Yue's true essence twice: "Brother, it seems that you have encountered a disaster. I have a Daoist method that can allow you to come back from the dead, deceive this world, and gain a few days of life. However, it requires you to make a great vow. What do you think, brother?"
Lü Yue's true essence immediately bowed down: "The disciple has been in chaos for half his life, but only today has he seen the true god. I wish to join the teacher's door, and consult with him every day and night, and rebuild the Dao."
"Good, good, good! Excellent apprentice!" Pan Wang was very pleased.
He held a tiny worm in the palm of his hand: "This creature is called Guan, which can avoid natural disasters, escape geological calamities, and drive away human misfortunes. First, you should invest your true essence into it. I will help you reshape your Dao body and cultivate the Dao again."
Lü Yue looked at the bug, which was biting and writhing, feeling hesitant. He was also a scholar of plagues and toxic substances, not an outsider, and he knew that once he invested his true essence into it, his life and death would be in Pan Wang's hands. But he had no choice now!
Controlling his last bit of true essence, he endured the pain of tearing in his mind and forced himself into the body of the bug. After that, a chaotic awareness swelled up like a tidal wave. He called out for help, but there was no response. Soon, his last thought was swallowed by endless chaos.
Deng Chanyu killed Lü Yue and felt a lot lighter in her heart.
Although Lü Yue had one remaining disciple and two junior teachers, it wasn't a big deal. Half of this path had already been cut off. It's not something that anyone can handle. With the absence of Lü Yue as the leader, the remaining three oddballs couldn't cause any significant trouble.
Modification is the normal choice for normal people. Stubbornly sticking to the path of plague is really sick.
Nuwa placed her and Biaozi in Chentang Pass.
I'm worried about her safety during this period, so I didn't take back the Heaven and Earth Graph, but let her hold it first. If she encounters someone who doesn't care, she should kill them first, and then talk about it!
Deng Chanyu actually wanted to borrow an weapon from the Dragon Palace. Her long spear was becoming increasingly unsuitable, as the weapon was too light and couldn't bring out the advantage of her great strength. But at this moment, she wasn't too bold to go to the East Sea.
Hey, you killed the Four Friends of the Dragon Nine Island and killed Master Lü in front, but waved your weapon behind and came back to borrow a weapon? Do you think our Jie sect is easy to bully?
The matter of the Dragon Palace can only be put off. She put away the Heaven and Earth Graph and returned to Nanjun.
As she walked half way, she felt a sense of foreboding. The merits she obtained from her previous vow were also hinting at something to her.
"Opportunities for me?" There is Ya Ji in Nanjun, one more or less makes no difference.
In the path of immortality, opportunity is more important.
She immediately changed her course, flying towards the west.
Entering the Sichuan region, she deliberately avoided the unlucky "Luo Feng Slope." She soared through the clouds, and soon arrived in front of a towering and steep peak with magnificent mountain formations.
The opportunity has not yet emerged, but at this distance, the sensation is already very clear.
It seems to have some relationship with the Feng race. Specifically, it is unclear, but it can be vaguely recognized as a long red sword.
She took a step up the mountain, but after three steps, she was pushed back by an odd force with a "ding ding ding" sound.
"Huh? Is this the power of Yin and Yang?"
Taking a closer look, she discovered that a large formation that had existed for countless years had enveloped half of the mountain peak.
The formation contains the essence of the Tao of the Two Elements, with a very rapid transformation of yin and yang. Without some means, it would take ten thousand years to get in.
"You tell me, isn't that a coincidence?" She took out the Green Light Taoist Light, forcefully dividing yin and yang.
The formation displayed a very mechanical behavior, only knowing to drive her away using the power of the Two Elements.
Her response was also mechanical. When the Yang force swept over, she used the Yin force of the Two Elements Lantern to neutralize it, and vice versa.
Strengthening her position and fighting by relying on her strength, she slowly approached the center of the formation.
The difficulty in the central area increased significantly. The premise of using borrowed force is that one must have some strength. The Green Light Two Elements Lantern was still in a damaged state, so this strength had to come from Deng Chanyu herself. As she got closer to the central area, she moved slower and often needed to take a half-day of breathing exercises before she could take a step.
"Alas, as one gets older, it is indeed detrimental. It's just that I accidentally refined a few more medicinal herbs, allowing this little kid to beat me to it."
An old man's voice sounded behind Deng Chanyu. She turned back in surprise and saw an old man with white eyebrows and kind eyes, gray hair, and childlike face, riding a blue ox leisurely behind her.
Even though the old man spoke, she didn't sense anyone behind her. It was only when he made her "aware" of his presence that she could see him through her eyes. Without permission, she couldn't see not only the old man but also the blue ox under him.
At this time, the Heaven and Earth Graph is no longer effective!
She quickly bowed: "The disciple Deng Chanyu greets Master Uncle! I wish the Saint of Taiqing a long and unending life!"
The blue ox gave her a disdainful glance, implying that she is young, has good taste, and is quite sensible.
Deng Chanyu dared not think about the matter of opportunities anymore: "My father is bedridden at home. I must leave first."
Laozi waved his hand: "I can't take the opportunity of my young disciple. Sister, you will have a complaint. This formation is called the Two Elements Dust Array, and there is a South Ming Jiuhuo Sword in the array, which was transformed from one of the original Phoenix's feathers. It's a bit related to you. You should continue to break the array. By the way, there will be another helper coming soon. You should work together with him to break the array."
Laozi sat on the back of the blue ox, his eyes appearing to be half-closed and half-open, as if he were simply waiting for her to break the array.
Deng Chanyu was sweating profusely, as tense as a hundred times when she fought against Lü Yue. However, since the Saint had spoken, she couldn't refuse and had to continue breaking the array.
Before one tea pot's worth of time, a loud shout was heard from outside the array.
"Deng Chanyu! You killed so many of my disciples on the Dragon Island, and even my junior disciple Lü, and yet you still dare to come to my Wutai Mountain? Do you think our Jie sect is without people?" The voice outside the array continued, "Zhao Gongming will today teach you a lesson!"
The formation had already been broken in half, and Zhao Gongming, wielding his sword, charged into the array.
Deng Chanyu glanced back at him. With his thick eyebrows, large eyes, and ethereal aura, Zhao Gongming was a far better seller than Lü Yue. However, you really have bad luck, you know.
Zhao Gongming saw the sarcasm in her eyes and was greatly angered. He swung his sword at her. In the remaining periphery of his vision, he saw Laozi sitting on the back of the blue ox.
His expression changed from confusion to fear.
While charging forward, he quickly lowered his center of gravity and finally kneeled down almost in a slothful position in front of the blue ox: "Disciple Zhao Gongming greets the Master Uncle!"
