The Yunmeng Lake in history was famous for its vast territory, with an area of up to thirty thousand square kilometers during its largest period, which is equivalent to ten Dongting Lakes.
Due to the influence of water-based spiritual energy, the Yunmeng Lake in the Primordial World has a larger range. This vastness is not simply a large area in a single plane direction, but rather a three-dimensional extension extending outwards towards numerous small worlds.
Deng Chanyu entered the Yunmeng Lake shortly, and soon she was enveloped in thick mist. Without looking at the path, she followed the direction indicated by Tianji.
Two hours had passed, and they were drawing closer to the sealed site. She dimly heard the voice of a woman calling out from within the mist.
She had no thought of meddling, and paid no heed. After judging the direction, she was about to bypass it, but little did she know that the other party's intention was crystal clear. They seemed to be in a state of panic, but in reality, they were heading straight for her.
After a cup of tea, they met each other.
"Immortal! Immortal, quickly leave! Xiangjun has gone mad, he's out of his mind, he wants to kill me!" The immortal woman, whose hair was disheveled and robes were in disarray, looked like a middle-aged beauty. She was flying through the clouds in a panic, with mist swirling into vortices behind her. The sound of shrill screams came from within the mists. The scene of the chase and escape could be said to be extremely classic.
Deng Chanyu just didn't want to get involved, not because she was afraid of things. Moreover, since the problem had come to her doorstep, there was no reason to back down.
She took out the Severed Divine Sword and shouted loudly, "Don't panic, Madam! I have arrived!"
A tiger demon was lurking in the mist chasing the immortal woman, emitting howls and generating gusts of wind and thunder. Its strength was just so-so, barely reaching the level of a giant beast in the demon world. Deng Chanyu first pulled this creature out of the mist and knocked it down with a punch. As she raised her Severed Divine Sword to deliver the finishing blow, the immortal woman knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Wrong, comrade-in-arms! Noble Immortal, noble Immortal! That is my husband, he is ill. Please, noble Immortal, show mercy and spare his life."
"Oh?" Deng Chanyu looked at the tiger demon who was kneeling with his head crushed by her. At present, the boundaries between humans and demons, as well as between gods and demons, are not very clear. Demons that transform into human beings are an example of this. For example, Zhuanshu, one of the Five Emperors, after death became a mermaid, which is even more absurd. It is unclear what kind of logical relationship this is.
She asked, "Is this tiger demon the Xiangjun of Yunmeng Lake? Are you, respected guest, the Xiangfu?"
"Not to hide from the noble immortal, I am indeed the Xiangfu of Yunmeng Lake," said the Xiangfu, who resembled a sophisticated woman, lowering her eyes and appearing very respectful.
Deng Chanyu couldn't help but look at both the tiger demon and the refined woman twice.
These two were also well-known gods in Chu, with legends that Xiangjun was handsome and charismatic, while Xiangfu was beautiful and virtuous. They were deeply in love, representing the earliest example of a double pursuit in China and serving as a model for spouses.
Compared to them, Pengzu, who is more famous in later times, is utterly unworthy.
"Alright."
Deng Chanyu let the tiger demon, said to be Xiangjun, escape on its own.
"Thank you, noble immortal, for saving my life. I have nothing to offer in return. How about you come with me to my cave mansion, have a few drinks of water wine, and it will be a small token of my gratitude."
Deng Chanyu wanted to laugh, this guy was quite interesting. He seems to be playing along with me.
She said seriously, "It is a blessing to meet the Lady today. I don't know if the Lady tonight would like to sit and share a pillow with me?"
It was evident that there was a moment of dizziness in the Xiangfu's expression, a path she had never envisioned.
Her moment of confusion disappeared quickly, and she nodded eagerly.
"Willing, willing! As I wish, I dare not request it!"
"Good! Lady, let's set off quickly then."
Deng Chanyu smiled, and the Xiangfu returned a smile as well. However, as soon as the smile reached her lips, it turned into horror. She was very shocked. Looking behind Deng Chanyu, she seemed to see something terrifying incoming.
"Lord? How did you return again?"
That brief sentence caused Deng Chanyu to turn her head back. At the same time, a blood-red dagger plunged into her back. It was at the same time that Deng Chanyu's illusion disappeared, and she appeared behind the Xiangfu of Xiangjun, from the same angle and at the same speed, thrusting a sword diagonally into her body.
The sword blade entered from the back and exited from the mouth.
Xiangfu's body shivered and shook. Upon sensing something unusual, Deng Chanyu quickly withdrew her sword and stepped back. She saw the mature woman with a peculiar smile on her face before transforming into a pool of mucus and blood.
"It's you again, why always you?" Deng Chanyu was slightly irritated.
The surrounding mist turned into blood mist, and the voice of an old acquaintance, the Immortal Grand Old Man of the Underworld, emerged from the blood mist.
"Goodness be upon you, heaven is merciful to the young ones in their spiritual cultivation. It's a pity that your hard work of hundreds of years will turn into nothing. Hand over the opening heaven meritorious achievements, and the old master can spare you a path of life."
Deng Chanyu laughed in exasperation: "You came too early. Why don't you go rest somewhere for a while and come back later when I've obtained the opening heaven meritorious achievements?"
The voice of the Immortal Grand Old Man of the Underworld hesitated, asking with a doubtful tone, "Are you perhaps mocking the old ancestor?"
Deng Chanyu hid her smile: "You are the one who mocked me first! Spare me a path of life? What a bold statement. Is the Daoist friend confused or has your memory lost too much? Today, what qualifications do you have to stand in front of me and say such an arrogant thing?"
The leakage of the message was an anticipated event. At that time, there were too many people in the Court of Hell who knew about her obtaining the merit of opening heaven, and it spread like wildfire, attracting envy, which was not surprising. The one who has come now was also within her expectations. There are no other reasons; it's simply because this fellow is always greedy.
Minghe has already been enlightened to the Spirit Mountain, and there is a Buddhist source of information in the Moonlight Buddha's side. The Bodhisattva of the Earth only has a very strong independent spirit and does not establish his own school. All the news from the blood sea can be transmitted back to the Spirit Mountain in real time.
It is said that the depths of the blood sea have become an absolute no-go zone for humans. Even the great disciple of Po Shen dare not go in.
The appearance of the third Menghe has been delayed, and now only one person is here to snatch it away, that is the original Menghe Laozu who was fooled crazy by Deng Chanyu.
If one has gone mad, can they still be enlightened by Buddha's law?
Madmen usually have a high resistance in the mental aspect, capable of enduring for a couple of rounds against creatures like Cthulhu. At this moment, both Deng Chanyu and the Moonlight Buddha are not in their prime condition, making it difficult to enlighten the opponent.
Deng Chanyu exhausted her magical powers when dealing with the Fire God, and then she was brought back to the current time. The physical, magical, and spiritual consumption was enormous, leaving her in a very weak state. She hurried to Yunmeng Lake out of concern that night might bring on more trouble, but she was still intercepted.
However, she had no trace of fear. Menghe, after all, was the ultimate discard of the last prehistoric era.
The old man used to be able to jump around, but now, with some of the blood god offspring taken away by Minghe and the remaining part still in a fierce battle at the depths of the blood sea, the remaining Menghe is not a match for him.
