After the Immortal of the South Pole left, Chuandao offered to recruit Wei Hua. Without hesitation, Wei Hua kowtowed and smoothly joined the Western religion.
He entered under the tutelage of Dayu Jingzhi and became one of the protectors of the church.
The Dao Heng Tianzun fell due to the enchantment of the demon king, which is different from the former Yuyan Zhenren being killed by Mosquito Dao Ren and then taking the brunt for Yang Xian to avert disaster. Wei Hua is still in the midst of calamity.
Although the Western religion in Qi had made moves, they were mostly Immortals from the Asura race. Wei Hua's cultivation of theClan of Illumination's techniques was average, but he was a prime candidate for mastering the Western techniques. Chuandao didn't send him to Qi, but instead instructed him to go to Han.
Han is relatively safe, with Nu Wa watching over it herself. With Wei Hua's own two disciples, how could the First Sage of the Celestial Universe exact revenge?
Wei Hua needs to transform his JADE CLEAN FORCE into the techniques of Western religion. Even if the techniques are a perfect fit, it also requires a gradual process.
During this time of restarting his path to immortality, he needs a safe environment to gradually cultivate from a mortal to the realm of a true immortal, and Han is just such a safe place.
"Wei Hua has joined the Han nation?" Upon seeing this message from the South Capital, Deng Chanyu felt an inexplicable oddity.
Nu Wa did not establish a major sect, and the Han had many Western religion disciples to begin with. Later, Jingzha, Muzha, Huang Tianhua came over, and they also had disciples from the Clan of Illumination. Adding one more Wei Hua is not a problem.
"Come on, come on, I have no objections."
With a thought, she wrote a reply to Deng Jiugong and then pondered the current situation. Since Wei Hua was missing, she felt that Zhou's decline was more apparent. With its current strength, could it still "rise to overthrow the Chou"?
The situation was quite delicate. She hurriedly stopped the "sales" campaign, fearing that if she kept selling for a few more days, the descendants of the Ji family in Zhou who hadn't enjoyed family benefits would be ready to open the west gate of Xiqi to welcome the royal army. Before she could even use her strength, Zhou would be overthrown. That would be a real lack of face for Taishou Tianzun. Let's wait and see first.
The Immortal of the South Pole returned to Kunlun Mountain and only then learned that Shen Gongbao had run away, and Guang Chengzi and the Goddess of Jinling were almost coming to blows.
Guang Chengzi assigned the other immortals to form pairs to search for Shen Gongbao, which was a very reasonable arrangement.
The Immortal of the South Pole arranged a task for himself to act as a central figure, and only then sat in the meditation room to review what had just happened. Did he and Chuandao's conversation have any problems? Did it cause any ambiguity? Was his wording rigorous enough? Was his facial expression respectful at the time?
"Even the divine tortoise, though long-lived, has its end. The snake that rides the mist will eventually turn to dust. Alas, your countless eons of hardship in cultivation have all been in vain."
Deng Chanyu felt a sense of longing while standing atop Mount Emei.
She held the Dragon Bo's fishing rod and in front of her was a pond of Tianhe water. The fishhook was hidden beneath the surface, and deep below the water, lying there motionless with no trace of life at all was a mystical tortoise as large as an eight immortals' table, which was none other than the physical form of the Mother Tortoise Immortal.
Deng Chanyu wasn't just idly playing around here, trying to lure fish with a fishhook. She wanted to try and see if she could transform this giant tortoise's physical form into her own duplicate, just like how she had become a phoenix's duplicate in the past.
Hongjun's Method of Slaying the Three Demons was to house the three demons within a primitive treasure, and in Deng Chanyu's initial plan, since a primitive treasure could do it, then an extremely high-grade spirit beast should also be able to do something similar.
Slaying the Three Demons is extremely difficult. Deng Chanyu has reached the level of a Golden Immortal without encountering any bottlenecks, all because of the high original level of the phoenix. If she were to exhaust her initial resources and rely on her own insight to cultivate and slay the demons, she really felt uncertain about it.
Even Yun Xiao, with her high comprehension, couldn't see the faintest hint of the Slaying of the Second Demon. As for herself, Deng Chanyu...
She wondered if she could first "prepare" all three duplicates of herself, and then, once she found the right opportunity to slay the demons, she could "snap snap snap" and slash three times in a row to directly ascend to the realm of Grand Dao, Golden Immortal!
The truth is, in dreams, anything is possible.
The first problem has already put her in a difficult position.
Initially, how did the Phoenix egg turn into her duplicate? Recalling this now, it should be that the Phoenix's true self disappeared completely, choosing to become Deng Chanyu's duplicate under the premise that it is completely impossible for her to reincarnate again in the Primeval World.
This is what is called "life will always find a way," it's the only choice left when there are truly no other options.
This method does not apply to the gigantic tortoise here.
The gigantic tortoise is the physical form of the Mother Tortoise Immortal, and it possesses extremely strong vitality. From a biological standpoint, its life force is not inferior to that of the Phoenix.
Even when it was called the "Colorful Phoenix," it had the strength comparable to a Grand Dao, Golden Immortal.
The Phoenix was not stronger than the Tortoise Spirit in its life.
The vitality of the giant tortoise is fine now, but how can one push it to a point where there are no paths forward or backward, forcing it to follow its instinctual life drive, abandon itself, and become a duplicate?
This isn't a difficult problem, but an impossible one.
Based on Deng Chanyu's observations, the true spirit of the Mother Tortoise Immortal should have been placed on the list to enjoy blessings. However, her own life essence is still there.
The bones, flesh, and skin are filled with the consciousness of the Mother Tortoise Immortal. As a body that has been refined for countless eons, this body recognizes only one master, and that master is not Deng Chanyu.
If the original consciousness within these bones, flesh, and skin were to be destroyed, such as through fire, then the body would be ruined. All that would be left are white bones and a turtle shell, and what good would that do for her in creating a ghostly duplicate?
It made her head spin.
The idea may be feasible, but she lacks the ability and means to achieve it. Right now, it's like a primary school student trying to learn calculus when they lack basic knowledge. This isn't something that can be solved with a few "I thought" moments. To realize her concept of creating a duplicate, she would need a deep understanding of the Tao, which might require reaching the level of a Grand Dao Golden Immortal.
She also detected a faint hidden magical aura from the deepest part of the corpse, which is another obstacle.
After much thought, she finally decided to abandon this giant tortoise corpse. The karma associated with this body was too great, entangled with the karma of Magism, Jiejiao Dao, and Tongtianzhuangzhuang. All of these were too much trouble.
Deng Chanyu sent Nezha to make a trip to the Jie sect.
The corpse of the Mother Tortoise Immortal was left behind in the chaotic space flow, and recently I found it. You guys want me to bury it on the spot, cremate it by the sea, or bring it back and deal with it properly?
Jinling Mudoushi heard this news and was surprised. She has been busy and under great pressure lately, but now she finally has a good news, albeit not the best.
The body of the Mother Tortoise Immortal must be brought back, but with Nezha's vivid description of such a long and tall giant turtle at the Biyou Palace, it wouldn't be suitable to make a big show of bringing it back. This is for the sake of the Mother Tortoise Immortal's dignity and for the dignity of Jie sect.
When deciding who to send, Jinling Mudoushi slightly hesitated. The disciples of the younger generation are not suitable. Deng Chanyu is a genuine Golden Immortal and is a direct disciple of Nu Wa. The status of the disciples of the younger generation is not enough.
The remaining ones are the three direct disciples, the four outer disciples, and the seven accompanying immortals.
In order to maintain the dignity of the female immortal in her final moments, several male immortals were excluded. Jinling finally sent Qiongxiu to Mount Emei to prepare for the return of the Mother Tortoise Immortal's body.
