Chapter 507 Ah, The Aura Of Spring
“Li Changgeng! If you don’t explain yourself clearly today, I will not let you off!” Under the pillar of light, at the edge of the city, where the Taiji Painting enveloped… The charred Perfected Taiyi pointed at Fairy Yun Xiao and the others who were sleeping at the side and cursed at Li Changshou, “What do you mean? How dare you test me! That was Heavenly Punishment! Do you think everyone is like you? You’re like the grandson of the Dao Ancestor. You can slash and adapt to it! Ouch!”
Li Changshou smiled and bowed.
“Ah…”
On the other side, Bai Ze combed his long, elegant hair and wiped his face. With tears in his eyes, he trimmed his goatee even shorter. He looked at himself in the mirror and was filled with melancholy.
He did not expect that auspicious beast like him, who sought luck and avoided calamity, would be struck by the Heavenly Punishment.
By following the Water G.o.d, he could indeed experience an unimaginable beast life. Furthermore, the beast life was gradually perfected…
Perfected Taiyi roared for a while and calmed down. He hugged his arms and sat beside Bai Ze, sulking. He adjusted his aura and looked at the hall in the distance. Perfected Taiyi said, “What should we do now? Wait for Eldest Senior Brother and the others to wake up?”
“There’s no time.” Li Changshou stood on the broken wall and looked at the turbid sea of blood above him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sea of blood surged. Figures darted out and rushed towards the blood-colored pillar of light.
The men, women, old, and young of the Asura Clan were all expressionless. Their eyes were filled with a sanguine glow. The moment they collided with the pillar of light, their bodies melted.
The True Spirit was also devoured by the pillar of light.
Li Changshou’s expression was a little cold, but he was not anxious. He turned around and jumped back to Bai Ze and Perfected Taiyi.
Perfected Taiyi gritted his teeth and cursed, “Then why didn’t you pull a few more when you were being punished by the Heavenly Punishment just now? You only took me and Fellow Daoist Bai Ze!”
“Aren’t we close? It’s easy to explain.” Li Changshou squinted and chuckled.
“You just feel that others are not your match! You’re still laughing!”
Bai Ze hurriedly said, “Calm down, calm down. Fellow Daoist Taiyi, don’t be so anxious. Fellow Daoist, think about it carefully. In fact, the Water G.o.d’s choice was a helpless one. Let’s not talk about the Eldest Senior Brother of the three sects for now. Among the few people lying here, ahem, who is not arrogant? If they did not comprehend the dream and escape from it, it would naturally affect their Dao hearts.”
Perfected Taiyi nodded in agreement when he heard that. However, he felt that something was amiss.
Perfected Taiyi, one of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School, did not deserve to be arrogant…
Perfected Taiyi sighed dejectedly. Then, he frowned and looked at Li Changshou. He asked a question that Bai Ze was also concerned about.
“Changgeng, how did you escape so quickly?”
Li Changshou smiled calmly and stood with his hands behind his back. His long hair danced behind his back, and he seemed to be emitting a halo of light.
He said, “Do you reflect on yourself 30 times a day? Is this right? Is there a plan? Is it that stable? Therefore, when things go too smoothly or develop according to my expectations, I will reflect on myself. You have to know that the enemy is not stupid. He would not be willing to give up. He would also be guided by the situation. Everything is in the game, and the most important thing is to pull. It is impossible for everything to be black or white. It is impossible to win 100% of the time. In general, it is not easy to win 70% of the time. However, everything in the dream started from my thoughts. They were all images that I subconsciously wanted to see. To me, it is indeed much easier to crack than ordinary illusion arrays.” Li Changshou paused and turned to look at Perfected Taiyi and Bai Ze. The latter two’s gazes froze…
Li Changshou said in a mellow voice, “Don’t worry. I’ve already informed the Jade Emperor and the experts of the Chan School and Jie School. There should be more than twenty experts from the two sects rus.h.i.+ng over.”
Perfected Taiyi frowned and said, “Are you here to enter a dream?”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and looked outside the Taiji Painting.
The essence Clam Qi could not be identified or probed. He did not know how much essence Clam Qi was outside the Taiji Painting. This place was indeed…
A treasure vault!
The essence clam gas was simply a defensive tool!
Even a Dao Realm expert like the Great Daoist Master would be affected if he was not careful. Even the PaG.o.da Master and the Taiji Painting could not react in time!
What was lacking in his Little Qiong Peak’s Recovery Defense Array? The Sea Serpent Qi was exactly what he lacked!
If he could think of a way to collect some…
Bai Ze muttered, “Why do I feel that the Water G.o.d is clearly more interested in the Sea Serpent Qi than the red lotus?”. “How can that be?”
Li Changshou shook his head and looked up at the Asura Clan that was cras.h.i.+ng into the pillar of light. He sighed and said, “These are also the living beings of the world recognized by the Six Paths of Reincarnation. I have to think of a way.” Perfected Taiyi smiled and said, “Heh, the legitimate G.o.ds of the Heavenly Courts.”
Li Changshou looked at Perfected Taiyi and smiled. “Heh, Connate lifeforms.”
Bai Ze pinched his goatee and smiled.
Li Changshou lifted the hem of his Daoist robe and sat cross-legged in the corresponding position in the middle of the Taiji Painting. He said, “Before our reinforcements arrive, I have to think of a way to break this layer of Sea Serpent Qi. Otherwise, I won’t be able to approach the red lotus. Mr. Bai, in a while, the Taiji Painting will use the Yin-Yang Qi to wrap you up and send you to the periphery. Contact the Golden-Winged Roc. If his injuries are almost healed, bring a few experts here first and try your best to block the Asuras outside.” “Yes.” Bai Ze cupped his fists and agreed. His expression was extremely solemn.
Perfected Taiyi asked, “Why do you need me?”
“Senior Brother, don’t be anxious. It will be useful in the future.”
Li Changshou closed his eyes and said. A few streams of light flew out of his sleeve and turned into a few late-stage Heaven Immortal paper effigies. They flew out of the area enveloped by the Taiji Painting.
Suddenly, a wisp of unconsciousness surged into his glabella. Li Changshou thought that it was impressive. He condensed lightning in his palm and struck his b.u.t.tocks. His body was immediately surrounded by lightning, and he became energetic. Just a wisp of the Power of Essence Soul had encountered the essence Clam Qi and almost caused his main body to enter a dream…
The Chaos Sea was too dangerous. It was better to cultivate in the Primordial World.
As for why…
There was nothing else but meat.
The paper effigies either rushed forward, rose, or flew left and right. Another paper effigy flew out of each of their sleeves.
Li Changshou kept sensing the subtle reactions of every paper effigy and maintained the lightning attacks on him.
His long hair stood on end, making him look like a G.o.d among thunder. Perfected Taiyi sighed softly. “This incarnation technique is really the only one in the Three Realms.”
Then, he asked the four black shadows who were observing the situation outside the ruined hall. They were also puzzled.
“What is the Water G.o.d doing?”
Unfortunately, Perfected Taiyi had Bai Ze to help explain. He could only speculate.
Bai Ze said, “He might be investigating the area affected by the Sea Serpent Qi, but that’s just an ordinary explanation. According to the Water G.o.d’s usual extraordinary thoughts, he might be letting his essence soul adapt to the Sea Serpent Qi and find out the characteristics of the Sea Serpent Qi. He might be able to distinguish and collect it to protect himself.”
Perfected Taiyi was speechless. They were indeed different.
That ox demon did not follow me?
Somewhere in the sea of blood, the silver-haired girl scanned her surroundings in shock. She hugged the sword in her arms tightly.
What a powerful ox demon. Could it be an ancient demon mighty figure?
That ring could actually seal the Primordial Ma.s.sacre Sword. Although the Primordial Ma.s.sacre Sword did not recognize him as its master and could not unleash its original power, it was a genuine top-grade Connate numinous treasure…
The young girl lowered her head and rubbed her cheek against the hilt of her sword. She took a deep breath and immediately tiptoed to rush to the Patriarch’s place to protect him.
No one knew how to escape in the sea of blood better than the living beings in the sea of blood!
“Fellow Daoist – Hahahaha!”
The silver-haired girl swayed and almost floated in the sea of blood.
She gritted her teeth and turned to look in the direction of the voice. The sea of blood parted to the left and right. A burly man with horns on his head and a nose ring was running and waving
“Hmph!”
The silver-haired girl held the sword hilt and was on full alert. Although she knew that she was far from being the ox’s match, she still had the pride of an Asura princess.
The silver-haired girl cursed softly, “If you want to kill or capture, Fellow Daoist, please do it quickly!”
The green ox stopped in front of the young girl.
He, who had just changed into a blue robe, had already tidied up his messy long hair.
Taking advantage of the opening just now, he even took a bath and sprayed some incense powder. He crushed some kind of spiritual pill that Grand Supreme Elder had refined into powder and scattered it on his body, adding a little fragrance.
The green ox recalled how Senior Brother Changgeng had behaved when he had carried the Grand Supreme Elder out and the Grand Supreme Elder had used a spell to observe Senior Brother Changgeng… He squeezed an elegant smile and raised his hand to shake off his fringe.
“Fellow Daoist, it was just a misunderstanding. I didn’t want to kill you or capture you. I just wanted to get to know you.”
“Disgusting!”
The silver-haired girl snorted and lowered her head to speed forward. Her body turned into a stream of light. “Hey…” The green ox raised his hand to urge her to stay, but he could only watch the silver-haired girl leave. His eyes were filled with tenderness.
“Even when she’s scolding someone, she looks so beautiful… Fellow Daoist, wait for me!”
With a swipe of his feet, the green ox chased after her. His speed in traversing the sea of blood steadily surpa.s.sed the silver-haired girl.
The latter gritted her teeth, but she did not dare to anger the ancient demon mighty figure.
Hence… The green ox swam back in various styles, b.u.t.terfly, frog, and freestyle, easily following beside the silver-haired girl. There was a smile on his lips, a faint and affectionate one. He kept asking the silver-haired girl what her name was, where she lived, how many family members she had at home, whether her parents were still around, whether she could go around with him and try to understand each other.
Of course, the response to the green ox was the silver-haired girl’s disgusted and resolute gaze and her voice.
“Disgusting!” “Rascal!”
“You’re delusional. You don’t have the demeanor of an expert!”
Fortunately, the Primordial World did not have the saying of “perverted”. Otherwise, the green ox would have been given that label.
After charging for tens of thousands of kilometers, the silver-haired girl stopped. She had already endured to the extreme. With a clang, she pulled out the sword in her hand and cursed, “What do you want!?!”
The green ox subconsciously pressed down on his nose ring and laughed awkwardly. Then, with a sincere gaze, he used a deep and masculine voice to moo.
“Fellow Daoist, I might have entered the tribulation.”
The silver-haired girl frowned and was slightly puzzled.
The green ox grinned. “I’m destined to survive the love tribulation with you.”
She said coldly, “Get lost!”
“I’m sorry. You’re so charming when you’re angry.” The green ox shook his head and praised. He said warmly, “Don’t you want to try to understand me? Perhaps I fulfill your Dao companion criteria.”
The silver-haired girl gritted her teeth and cursed, “No! Everything I have is given to me by Father. The matter of my Dao companion has nothing to do with me!”
“Oh?”
The green ox suddenly thought of the way Senior Brother Changgeng spoke to the Saint. He recalled the scriptures of Ren School that he had heard and comprehended when the Grand Pure One imparted the Great Daoist Master’s principles.
“Fellow Daoist, the influence you have received seems to be a little inappropriate. Your body, hair, and skin have been nourished by your parents and you should be filial. However, after we are born, we become independent living beings. We should respect our parents, but we should also stay true to ourselves and not be swayed by them. We are not attached to anyone, nor are we objects that others possess. Fellow Daoist, your parents are really wrong…”
“Shut up!”
The young girl puffed out her chest and looked up. She scolded fiercely, “If you’re not me, how would you know me? This is the reason for my existence. It’s my path to life! I have something urgent to attend to today. If you don’t kill me or capture me, don’t continue to pester me!”
The green ox said, “Fellow Daoist, what urgent matter do you have? Why don’t you let me go and help?”
She said coldly, “Get lost!”
The silver-haired girl pulled out the Primordial Ma.s.sacre Sword. “Otherwise, we’ll fight to the death here!”
“Don’t be excited. Stay calm and let’s be peaceful.” The green ox waved his hand and took a few steps back. He asked weakly, “Then, can you leave a communication jade token?” “Hmph!”
The young girl turned around and left. With a light tap of her toes, she turned into a stream of red and white light and disappeared into the depths of the sea of blood.
“Ah…”
The green ox sighed dejectedly and stood there for a long time. He remembered the young girl’s aura.
When the matter of the Blood Sea Red Lotus is over, Senior Brother Changgeng will be free. I’ll ask him to give me an idea.
Screech…
A loud cry suddenly sounded above his head. The green ox blinked and his figure flashed. He broke through the sea of blood and jumped
out.
The Golden-Winged Roc was circling in the sky. There were already three to four figures standing on its back. A wisp of the Roc’s voice entered the green ox’s ears, causing it to be shocked. “Senior Green Ox, Teacher and the others are in trouble. They need us to rush over to help.”
“I have already contacted Fairy Qiong Xiao and the G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit of Jie School, Daoist Chi Jingzi of Chan School, and Perfected Huang Long!” “This place is not far from Teacher and the others.”
The green ox leaped up and landed steadily on the back of the Golden-Winged Roc.
He had to get down to business first. He did not want to have his share of immortal peaches and Spirit Pills docked.
However, what the green ox did not expect was…
The Golden-Winged Roc spread its wings and flew quickly. In the blink of an eye, it rushed into the sea of blood and quickly rushed to the edge of the city.
A moment later, they met Bai Ze, who had just been protected out of the city by the Taiji Painting. Bai Ze briefly told them about the Sea Serpent Qi and made arrangements according to Li Changshou’s instructions.
The Golden-Winged Roc had extreme speed but had yet to recover from its injuries. The G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit’s mystical abilities were comparable to a defensive Postnatal treasure. They stayed on the periphery together to prevent the Asuras from approaching the pillar of light.
The green ox and Fairy Qiong Xiao entered to help. When Li Changshou found a way to break through the Sea Serpent Qi, he would s.n.a.t.c.h the red lotus. Qiong Xiao also knew that this was a huge matter. At that moment, she stopped playing around and looked serious. She also took out the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors.
Two wisps of Yin-Yang aura flew over and connected Qiong Xiao and the green ox into the city. They landed in the corner of the broken wall and met Li Changshou.
Bai Ze pulled the Golden-Winged Roc’s arm and whispered with a solemn expression.
The Golden-Winged Roc nodded and agreed. It whispered, “Mr. Bai, don’t worry. I know what to do. If necessary, I will not be merciful.” The G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit pursed her lips and said gently, “The Asura Clan are also living beings. Should we…”
“I’ll do my best.”
Bai Ze smiled and said, “The Water G.o.d also said that. That’s why he made us stop here.”
The Golden-Winged Roc asked, “Can’t the pillar of light be broken directly?” “Previously, the Water G.o.d’s incarnation has already tried. It’s useless to stop it,” Bai Ze said. “That’s just a shadow that the twelfth-grade Red Lotus can cast… Another batch of Asuras are coming. More and more of them will stop them.”
The Golden-Winged Roc nodded and turned around to speed in the sea of blood. It flapped its wings and stirred up waves in all directions, causing the sea of blood to boil. At that moment, a white light broke through the surging waves and rushed towards the city.
The Golden-Winged Roc squinted its long and narrow eyes. Without needing Bai Ze’s instructions, it flew over quickly.
The delicate figure hidden in the white light was not afraid at all. She focused her eyes and immediately drew her sword to meet the attack! However, the Golden-Winged Roc flew too quickly. The young girl could not react in time. Their figures intertwined…
“Golden Roc!”
An anxious shout came from the edge of the city. The Golden-Winged Roc stopped in time.
With a cry, the Golden-Winged Roc sealed the young girl’s Dharma powers and lifted her neck. With a flash, it returned to Bai Ze’s side and placed the young girl beside Bai Ze’s feet.
The Golden-Winged Roc turned around and left gracefully. It continued to cause waves in all directions to prevent the Asura Clan from approaching
“Primordial Ma.s.sacre Sword?”
Bai Ze frowned and looked at the sword in the young girl’s arms. Then, he turned to look at the burly figure standing on the broken wall.
The green ox rubbed its nose in embarra.s.sment. Its face was almost red. It shook its legs and whispered, “Well… This is a good friend of mine in the Asura Clan. Can you not kill him…”
Under the broken wall, Li Changshou, who had already thought of how to break through the Sea Serpent Qi, could not help but open his eyes and look at the green ox. At the side, Perfected Taiyi nudged Li Changshou’s arm with his elbow and winked at him.
“The mounts of Ren School need Dao companions too?”
Li Changshou felt a little helpless. He naturally saw the Primordial Ma.s.sacre Sword. He pondered for a while and smiled.
Plotting aside, it was not a small matter that the green ox had fallen in love. If he did not deal with it properly, it would directly affect the safety of his teacher and the Grand Supreme Elder.
Did the green ox have a wife during the Journey to the West Tribulation that I know of?
I really do not have any impression of that.
However, logically speaking, the silver-haired girl should be an expert of the Asura race. She should not have anything to do with the story of the Journey to the West…
Right?
