The Master Daoist had not finished explaining when the Turtle Goddess rushed into the hall: "Several of my juniors who have been watching for good prospects have also gone missing. Could the Big Brother handle this matter?"
The Turtle Goddess had always been at odds with the Three Shao, and now she was rushing to claim the task. She believed that the Three Shao and Zhao Gongming were nothing special. Two outer-door disciples could clear up the matter and rescue Zheng Yuanzi, and so could she, as an inner-door disciple.
"This" Dabao hesitated for a moment. The Turtle Goddess was impulsive, and it could be said that everyone knew it. Even the Sky Lord had said twice for her to "be moderate and avoid pride." However, nature is hard to change, and the Turtle Goddess had tried to change before, but at this age, she could not change it at all.
If Daoist Dabao turned down the Turtle Goddess's request at this moment, it would greatly hurt her pride. So he decided to let her go: "Alright, this matter will be left to Sister."
The Turtle Goddess is indeed impulsive, but she's not a fool.
Zhao Gongming and Yun Xia were however powerful, they were still outer-door disciples. No matter where they were from, outer-door disciples were always lower in status than inner-door disciples.
Tongtian Zhuangzhu had only four direct disciples, namely Dabao, Jinling, Guiling and Wodang.
Dabao needs no explanation; during the Tianwei Campaign, he attacked the Taiqing Saint and still managed to survive the great chaos of the Shengshen (Divine King) Battle, eventually joining the Western cultivation sect. His blessings, talents, and wisdom are among the top in this world.
After Jinling Saint Mother was included on the list, she was granted the title of Doumu Yuanjun, which indirectly demonstrated her exceptional root.
Wodang Saint Mother is considered a guardian of the Sheshan Cultivation School, always keeping a low profile, not showing her strength or talent. In the crucial moment when the life or death of the Sheshan Cultivation School hangs in the balance, she hides herself, preserving the Daoist lineage of the Sheshan Cultivation School. No one other than her closest confidants could be entrusted with such an important position.
The remaining one is the Turtle Goddess. What qualifies her to be among the four direct disciples? Just because she is impulsive?
The Turtle Goddess also possesses considerable wisdom. After meticulously analyzing the characteristics of the missing individuals, she eventually found that among the chaotic clues, there was one common factor among all the missing Jie Sect Immortals: they all knew a cultivator from the Chuan Sect called Shen Gongbao.
This confirms that it is indeed a conspiracy by the Chuan Sect!
She hid in the shadows, ready to follow the thread and find Shen Gongbao, as well as the mastermind behind him. She even imagined the scene of herself bringing evidence of both testimony and objects to Yu Xiu Palace, confronting the Yuan Shi Tianzun. The picture must be quite beautiful.
Tai Mountain Yinyu soil.
Deng Chanyu followed the faint ghost fire, eventually landing beside a lake with smooth, mirror-like water.
At first, when entering the Yintu (shadowy soil), she felt uncertain and hazy, not knowing exactly what it was. But now, as she approached, she finally distinguished the true nature of this opportunity.
Here, there is even a ray of origin light belonging to the Purple Micro Emperor.
The one before was the Yuan Feng forcefully taking it. Now this one doesn't seem to be, but rather seems to be intentionally left here waiting for someone who is meant to have it.
"Exactly, I am the one destined to receive it," Deng Chanyu said to the lake. "Don't hesitate any longer, give me your source of origin."
As water ripples, the water on both sides slowly parted, revealing a Black-armored and Black-mailed Taoist Heavenly General holding a Thunder Spear.
The Black-armored General: "???"
He looked at Deng Chanyu and carefully examined her for several times, with a puzzled expression. Who are you? Are you the new Eastern Emperor? A Emperor should be a man, right?
He observed the time within the Yintu soil and saw it more and more confused. It seemed that this realm had not yet reached the stage of emergence?
"Who are you?"
"Tell me your name, it will either shock you or not say it. Please entrust the origin light to me."
Upon hearing Deng Chanyu reveal the inner workings of the origin light, the Black-armored General hesitated noticeably.
He didn't mention the issue of gender, which was a way to avoid Deng Chanyu's "discrimination" boxing technique.
He said seriously, "I am under the command of the Heavenly Emperor and am responsible for guarding this precious treasure. Are you willing to accept the test of this treasure?"
"Test?"
"Yes, there is a haunted spring located 18,000 miles to the west. You may go there to fetch a thousand pounds of spring water."
Deng Chanyu followed the direction he pointed and looked in the distance. There were billowing black mist, and within it, there were sounds of killing intent. It seems like this matter is particularly troublesome.
"Is that all the test?"
"Of course not."
"?"
After learning that inheriting this source of origin light from the Purple Micro Emperor requires completing 18 tests, Deng Chanyu was stunned.
Are you teasing a fool? Huang Feihuang might play a game of passing levels with you, but Deng Chanyu doesn't have the leisure time for that.
Noticing her unfavorable expression, the General raised his Thunder Spear: "I have experienced the ancient war, and I advise you not to misunderstand me."
Deng Chanyu pondered for a moment. She had to admit that Yuan Feng's style of grabbing immediately was still quite invigorating. Now, however, it was not necessary to fight over it, as she had a more civilized approach to handle the situation.
"General, are you also a celestial born from heaven? Judging by the style of your armor, are you from the Third Yuan of Tian Yuan?"
The Black-armored General: "?"
"If you don't speak, it's a default. What is your surname, General?"
"Excellency, my surname is Yuan."
"The 'Yuan' in Yuan God?"
"Yuan of Yuanzhou."
Deng Chanyu sat down to meditate and rest on the side, while the Black-armored General, unsure of what she was up to, could only assume a vigilant stance and wait.
After a moment, an army order issued by the Divine Guardian of Celestial Purity arrived in Deng Chanyu's hand. She quickly glanced at it: "General Yuan, the Divine Guardian of Celestial Purity orders you to return to the Heavenly Palace immediately for important duties. Please accept the order."
Deng Chanyu sent the Black-armored General away
His name was already on the list of Heaven Generals in the north. It wasn't even necessary to find Li Bai. By signing a military order, Phoenix gave him a task of guarding the northern gate. Afterwards, Phoenix also wrote a public document to Wu Tian, saying that he had little military power in the north and that Yuan Xiong had been transferred by himself. He requested Wu Tian to dispatch another Heaven General to guard the spring water.
For a Heaven General, guarding the Northern Gate is a task of a completely different caliber than guarding an anonymous lake. After General Yuan Xiong pondered slightly and confirmed that the military order was genuine and error-free, he accepted the order and returned to the Heavenly Palace.
The old Heaven General was transferred, but the new one hadn't arrived yet. Deng Chanyu took advantage of this time gap.
She dived into the bottom of the lake, not only finding the origin light of the Purple Micro Emperor, but also the crown, scrolls, and seal of the Beiyin Fengdu Great Emperor.
"Beiyin Fengdu Emperor?" Deng Chanyu passed this origin light to Phoenix, and her control over the Jade Emperor skyrocketed once again.
Beiyin Fengdu Emperor "rules the northern palace and controls the infernal realm," this is indeed a deity who truly governs the underworld in the celestial court system.
Now looking at this arrangement, it seems that the Beiyin Fengdu Emperor is a manifestation of the Purple Micro Emperor. Interesting!
Deng Chanyu stuffed all the crowns, scrolls, and seals into her pockets. She herself could not make a separate body, but she could let Xiezi try it. Ten Hell Kings resulted in eleven, which sounded awkward and smelled of temporary workers. She had already addressed herself as the Jade Emperor's wife. She couldn't let her wife be a temporary worker either.
