Chapter 357 Kui Zang Horned Head
Qi Refining Channel.
Inside the cave.
Fang Qing put down the "Tai Su Golden Book" in his hand and murmured, "I still remember... I still remember 'Eastern Pole Tai Sui Qing Di Zhen Jun', and I remember that black hand..."
"So that's how it is. They hid the master of [Hornwood] to seize the throne, huh? As expected of [Kuiwood], they really have a big one up their sleeve..."
He had just comprehended the "Tai Su Jin Shu" and learned how to seek the master's approval and follow the principle of accepting the deficiency.
"Passing through one golden position after another is the most orthodox, yet also the most foolish, method... Regardless of the method of creating clones or the cultivation through reincarnation... in reality, Dao Hui remains unchanged. For example, I am somewhat confident in attaining the [Ji Water] level, but attaining the other three water levels is extremely difficult..."
"Furthermore, the deeper one's cultivation goes, the more easily one is influenced... and interference will also occur in one's own spiritual practice."
"Therefore... the best way is still to annex or even enslave the master of the throne; this is called 'seizure,' the method of seizing gold!"
"Similarly, one can conceal one's position, which is called 'concealment' or 'hidden'..."
"That 'Kui Zang Xian Qing Zhen Jun' not only secured the rightful position of wood for 'Kui Mu' in one fell swoop, but he probably also had other plans. For example, by hiding 'Dongji Tai Sui Qing Di Zhen Jun', he controlled the position of 'Jiao Mu', and then either killed or demoted him to a subordinate position..."
"He has already absorbed the [Well Wood] order and is at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. If he completes this next step... he will reach the late-stage of the Golden Core realm! [Yearly Official] is within reach!"
"One should never underestimate any Golden Core True Monarch. Those who can seek the Golden Core to prove their Dao must have a mind as vast as the sea and profound methods..."
"Hmm, this True Lord Mude has concealed his body very well, and he is not a member of the Great Dao lineage... No wonder he has such mobility even before the Taihuang Heaven has been opened."
"However, the Heavenly Horn Sect is definitely going to decline in the future. It's a pity it almost became the Heavenly Horn Cult before..."
Fang Qing immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to pick up some bargains.
Once Guangmu is gone, the many Purple Mansions that have gathered here will inevitably scatter like birds and beasts, each flying away when disaster strikes.
"And that True Lord Kui Mu has to deal with Guang Mu, so he doesn't have the spare energy... Alright, for safety's sake, let's not touch Tianjiao Gate for now... Or, I can't go and touch it myself."
Fang Qing was quite interested in the [Jiaomu] lineage of this sect.
After all, it is a legitimate cultivation method that is sufficient to prove one's status as the master, and it possesses all four supernatural powers!
"But besides that... I have long admired the legacy of the [Zhenshui] Grand Master of the Canghai Sect..."
"Furthermore, the Canghai Sect's bet failed, and there's an 80% chance of a backlash."
"I'm not going to steal the ancient texts, but to help those who are dying and whose lineage is being severed... and in critical moments, I might even be able to lend a hand..."
"Hmm, let's go to Xuanxu Heaven first and keep a close eye on the situation... It seems the East is about to descend into chaos for a while."
……
He accepted the explanation.
Near the coast.
The Great Master Le Shui, his face as calm as still water, commanded countless ocean currents to escort himself and Le Shui back to the west.
"Great Master... just now?"
Master Leshan's face was pale, and his eyes were filled with an intense, unyielding fear: "I vaguely remember that my Canghai Sect submitted to a certain lord, but I can't recall his Daoist name or appearance at all..."
"This is the 'hidden' part of [Kui Mu]!"
Grand Master Le Shui seemed to be biting flesh between his teeth as he spat out each word: "We are, after all, Purple Mansions, with our titles and ranks. We still remember a certain lord of the Heavenly Horn Sect. But if one day you forget even that, it means that lord has been completely 'hidden,' no different from being destroyed..."
Master Leshan trembled, knowing that the great man was also in dire straits, not much different from being completely destroyed.
At this point, it was no longer their place to worry about the Heavenly Horn Sect.
"Our sect previously sought refuge with the Heavenly Horn Sect because the True Lord refused, and we wished for protection... But that lord encountered an accident, and the True Lord who was supposed to fill the vacancy of the [Horn Wood] position has vanished without a trace..."
Grand Master Le Shui had a vague suspicion in his heart, but dared not say it aloud. He only said, "I take full responsibility for this matter. After we return, you will be in charge of the sect's affairs... Our Canghai Sect has been closed for a hundred years! Even if True Lords and Immortal Officials appear in the future... we still have to give our ancestor face and not be wiped out..."
Master Leshan was immediately shocked: "Why has it come to this?"
"This is what an era of great strife looks like..."
Master Le Shui smiled bitterly: "I only hope that our ancestral master will protect us and ensure that our lineage does not decline..."
Just then, his expression changed, and the myriad waves stopped abruptly.
The radiance of the Zhen River converges, making the world seem as if a giant sea eye has appeared, creating a scene of hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.
【Zhen Shui】Also known as 'Great Ocean Water', he is a Great True Man, and he truly has the advantage of being on the sea. Not to mention ordinary Great True Man, even if he encounters a Purple Mansion with all four methods, he can run away if he can't beat him.
"Who's blocking the way?"
With a wave of his sleeve, Master Le Shui sent endless seawater soaring into the sky, revealing the dried-up seabed.
Splash!
The relentless downpour turned the sky dark and gloomy, as if a storm was brewing.
Within that boundless mist, a dragon coiled, exhaling and exhaling clouds and mist, and spreading clouds and rain.
Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger!
"So it's the Demon King of the Flood Dragon Palace. Why are you blocking our way?"
Master Le Shui felt a sense of foreboding.
"Le Shui... you have violated a grave taboo of my demon race. It is only right and proper for me to stop you."
The dragon's shadow vanished from the clouds, replaced by a middle-aged man clad in armor, wielding a three-pointed double-edged sword. His gleaming armor shone brightly, and the demonic energy of the [Bi Yue] gathered around him, clearly indicating that he was a powerful demon in the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm!
"The demon race..."
Le Shan, who was standing nearby, was startled, realizing that this was his sect's nemesis.
Why does the Canghai Sect, known for its water element, not relocate to a coastal area? And why is it so rarely involved in spreading its teachings?
It is precisely because the Zhen Water element overcomes the Bi Moon element that the Bi Moon element is inherently close to a demon!
Back then, the Great Master Zhen Shui of the Canghai Sect had even killed a Bi Yue demon when he attained enlightenment!
Although the inside story is complex in retrospect, the Canghai Sect and the demon race have always been irreconcilable enemies.
Previously, the Jiao Palace could barely tolerate it because of the power of the Tianjiao Gate.
At this point, there was no longer any restraint!
"Enjoying mountains and waters... Your Canghai Sect has a taboo against the sea. Now that you've come to the sea, there's no need to return..."
The Purple Mansion Demon King sneered, revealing sharp teeth. The three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand, radiating countless rays of light, crashed down with a devastating force that seemed to overturn the heavens and the earth!
[Bi Yue] Supernatural Power - Overturning Heaven and Earth!
A sword appeared in the hand of the Great Master Le Shui, and many rays of [Zhen Shui] converged, but he did not take the blow head-on.
His figure was ethereal, and he dissolved into the sea, pushing the Leshan Master far away.
—"Located in the Abyss"!
Then, the Great Master Le Shui wandered through the void and, without anyone noticing, arrived behind the Dragon King, gently handing him his long sword.
The light of [Zhenshui] suddenly shone brightly, and its boundless blue radiance dispersed the demonic aura of [Biyue].
The sword struck the Bright Armor squarely, causing the Flood Dragon King to let out a cold snort as his figure instantly vanished into the darkness—this was the 'Light Concealment' technique!
Master Le Shui shook his head, and the endless seawater beneath his feet rose up, transforming into a towering water ape.
The water ape stretched out its jet-black palm, inside which seemed to be a puddle of water. In the puddle, a fish swam about, and then it transformed into the image of the Flood Dragon King.
This is the divine power of the Zhenshui River – "Fish in the Abyss"!
The water ape revealed a ferocious smile and suddenly slammed its palms together.
Click!
A shadowy figure exploded, transforming into a dark palace that faintly echoed the bright moon in the sky.
[Bi Yue] A flash of light appeared, and the Flood Dragon King appeared a hundred feet away, blood already trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"【Zhen Shui】 restrains 【Bi Yue】, we are both in the late stage of Zi Fu, and I also have the advantage of terrain..."
Grandmaster Le Shui said calmly, "This isn't a case of you killing me, but me killing you... So, there's no need to make a fool of yourself. Let your helpers come out, or let me see the true treasures of the Flood Dragon Palace!"
"You're good, very good..."
The Dragon King's face was gloomy, but he did not refute it.
Beside him, a man in a blue robe appeared out of nowhere.
His eyebrows were long and narrow, his appearance was simple and unsophisticated, and his eyes gazed at the world with a sense of vicissitude and emotion. His clothing was quite ancient in style.
It's like an ancient antique from a painting has come down to earth!
There was no divine light emanating from it, or rather, its divine power was not emanating, but rather extremely condensed, turning into a single point, circulating endlessly...
The immense pressure this brought was so great that even the Great Master Le Shui trembled: "A celestial being?"
"The Dragon Envoy under the Dragon Lord greets fellow Daoist!"
The man in blue robes said calmly, "Please, fellow Daoist, continue on your journey..."
At the edge, Master Leshan was already stunned.
Although he knew long ago that the True Lord would reappear on earth after the opening of the Great Yellow Heaven, it was only after encountering beings above the Purple Mansion one after another recently that he truly felt it was real!
Although the opening of the Taihuangtian is a kind of sign, it is like a wave, a gradual process that does not happen overnight.
Among the many True Lords, those in better condition and with lighter injuries will naturally awaken earlier...
When they turned their attention to the present world and sent their subordinates to travel across the land, the former rule of the Purple Palace and the establishment of a great realm by the Great Immortal became a complete joke!
"Hurry up!"
"Don't look back!"
The words of the Great Master Leshui reached the ears of the Master Leshan, and then he saw the sea churning, with endless seawater engulfing the blue-robed man and the Dragon King.
The rain poured down relentlessly, and he couldn't tell if the water on his face was rain or tears; he simply drifted through the void in a daze.
When they came to their senses, they had already set foot on the land of Southern Wu.
The Leshan Immortal stood on the shore, suddenly turning around, and saw a continuous stretch of dark clouds, with endless torrential rain mixed with gale-force winds sweeping across the southern Wu region, and many spirits of the Zhen River appearing in the world...
"Senior brother..."
He could no longer contain himself and collapsed to the ground, weeping bitterly…
……
High above the clouds, the Dragon King followed behind the Envoy Yinglong, his eyes cold as he looked at True Man Leshan: "Why did you let this person go?"
"Southern Wu is the land of Sword Pavilion, and that Sword Lord is not known for his good temper..."
Yinglong laughed and said, "Of course, I could have made this person perish before even setting foot in Southern Wu, but why bother with a mere early-stage Purple Mansion cultivator? What I did today was just a test. If the person behind the Canghai Sect is still alive, keeping this person around is a way of saving face..."
"The Golden Core cultivator behind the Canghai Sect... his fate unknown?"
The Dragon King was immediately terrified.
"That's right, but even if I were to take revenge... it would only mean the death of one of you."
Yinglong raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly: "You are a pawn, a test for the Dragon Lord..."
