Chapter 200: A phoenix without feathers is worse than a chicken
Emperor Qinghua of the East looked at the golden phoenix rising into the sky with a calm expression. His eyes were filled with a kind of indifference and calmness. He gently waved the whisk in his hand towards the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and chanted, "Gather!"
Buzz!
The red dragon pattern on the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover suddenly lit up, and the nine fire dragons entrenched in it flew up at the same time and collided with each other.
After a dazzling flash of light, the nine fire dragons merged into one, their bodies became several times larger than before, and the flames surrounding their bodies also changed from the original bright red to dark red.
The void was constantly twisting, and there were faint signs that it was about to burn and melt!
The flame temperature can be seen!
“Go!” The Great Emperor Qinghua of Dongji swung his whisk again, and the fire dragon pounced towards the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit.
The Golden Spirit Mother flapped her wings not frequently but at an extremely fast speed, leaving a long trail of colorful light behind her, like a rainbow but more gorgeous and beautiful than a rainbow.
Judging from the current situation, there is no way the Fire Dragon could catch up with the Golden Spirit Mother before she crashes into the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.
At this moment, the fire dragon suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it had moved a long distance forward!
Then it disappeared again, then reappeared, disappeared again, and reappeared again.
The whole process was like an intermittent slide show. With every flash, the fire dragon got much closer to the Golden Spirit Mother!
Finally, after the seventh flash, the fire dragon stood in front of the Golden Spirit Mother.
The Golden Spirit Mother did not avoid or give way, but rushed straight forward.
In those red-gold eyes like gemstones, divine light surged, carrying with it overwhelming rage and a determination to do whatever it takes.
"cracking--"
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother raised her phoenix head slightly and uttered a long cry. Her whole body was covered with a layer of gilded golden light, like armor or a sword, unmatched and unstoppable.
The expression of Emperor Qinghua of Dongji did not change at all. He just watched everything coldly and controlled the fire dragon to meet the target.
boom!
Two rays of light, one red and one gold, collided with each other, like Mars hitting the Earth, but it was much more powerful than that!
An extremely dazzling light burst out, terrifying energy surged out like a blade, and flames filled the field of vision.
Buzz!
The Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover began to tremble under this impact, and the Heavenly Prison was shaking as if there was an earthquake.
Li Anran couldn't help but hold his breath and stare at all this.
Although the light was dazzling, it still couldn't block his gaze. The collision was fierce and the outcome was decided in an instant!
"cracking--"
The sound of a phoenix singing with joy was heard.
The Golden Spirit Mother rushed out from the huge ball of fire.
Fire can overcome metal, but when metal is sharp enough, it can tear the fire apart in an instant!
Buzz!
The fire dragon was shattered, and the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover was also damaged, emitting a mournful cry. The red dragon pattern engraved on it noticeably dimmed a bit, and it flew back into the hands of Dongji Qinghua Emperor.
The Golden Spirit Mother won.
But, I also lost!
It was not only because she paid a heavy price to tear the fire dragon into pieces.
The feathers on its body, especially the "德" pattern on its head, had already been charred black, and only half of the "义" pattern on its wings remained.
More importantly, the Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Cover is only the magic weapon that the Emperor Qinghua of Dongji has used the longest and most conveniently, but it is not the most powerful magic weapon!
And she has tried her best!
"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west!" Li Anran couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Back then in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the Golden Spirit Mother once fought alone against the three great Bodhisattvas Manjusri, Samantabhadra and Cihang, who were collectively known as the "Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Teaching" together with Taiyi Tianzun, and did not lose.
But now, Taiyi Tianzun alone can easily control her!
Over ten thousand years, Manjusri, Samantabhadra and Cihang all broke through from the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal to Daluo Golden Immortal. Taiyi Tianzun inherited the position of the head of Xuanmen, and with the blessing of Xuanmen's luck, he successfully beheaded the corpse.
However, the cultivation level of the Golden Spirit Mother has not improved at all and she is still only at the initial stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal!
Zhang Jue broke the Investiture of the Gods, allowing her to continue her cultivation, but she had lost the divine body condensed by the Investiture of the Gods, and her reshaped body could not be compared with the body that had been tempered for countless years before she was listed.
This results in the Golden Spirit Mother now being a weakened version of the Golden Immortal with a promising future but with a physical body debuff.
The reason why the Golden Spirit Mother was so angry before was also because she was like a tiger in trouble being bullied by a dog.
However, she was obviously wrong!
Her situation is not that of a tiger in dire straits being bullied by a dog, but that of a phoenix without its feathers being no better than a chicken!
Li Anran, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, relied on his powerful body and the geographical advantage of the Heavenly Prison to force her to reveal her true form and lose face!
And the Dongji Qinghua Emperor, whose corpse had already been beheaded, was not at the same level as her at all!
The Golden Spirit Mother was obviously unaware of this, or rather, she was unwilling to admit it in her heart. With a bit of self-deception, she continued to charge upward and crashed into the top of the Sky Prison.
At the same time, her flapping wings also emitted wisps of golden light, slashing towards the surrounding cells .
After transforming into its original form, it was protected by the innate Gengjin energy, and its sharpness was no weaker than that of ordinary innate spiritual treasures. The Golden Spirit Holy Mother wanted to directly break into the sky prison and release all the prisoners so that she could escape in the chaos.
As for what the consequences of this matter will be!
She is not worried!
Haotian was just a Taoist boy beside Master Hongjun, who got the position of Jade Emperor by chance!
When she was on the List of Gods, she didn't take him seriously, let alone now!
But she forgot that doing so gave Emperor Dongji Qinghua a perfect reason to take action!
"Dou Mu Yuanjun, the people imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison are all serious criminals from the Three Realms. Don't stop!"
The Great Emperor Qinghua of Dongji shouted softly, but he didn't care about the Heavenly Prison at all. He took a step forward and appeared directly in front of the Holy Mother of Jinling.
The Yuxu Palace Lantern is the innate spiritual treasure that he entrusted to Shanshi. Wherever the light shines, he can arrive there instantly, regardless of time and space.
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother obviously didn't know this and was greatly shocked. It was too late for her to dodge, so she could only flap her wings and fly towards the Dongji Qinghua Emperor.
call!
Before the wings arrived, hurricanes had already risen, mixed with wisps of Gengjin Qi, like a meat grinder, extremely sharp, and directly cutting through the void.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable."
The Great Emperor Qinghua of Dongji chanted softly, and his body lit up, like a sun, emitting thousands of golden rays of light.
His figure gradually faded and became transparent until it disappeared.
It was replaced by the Yuxu Palace Lantern!
The Golden Spirit Mother was dazzled by the golden light, and an inexplicable sense of peace arose in her head. Her expression gradually relaxed, and the power on her wings began to weaken, and she stopped quietly in mid-air.
call!
At this moment, a green bead that looked like a lotus seed suddenly flew out from the body of the Golden Spirit Mother, shook twice above her head, and cast down a green light, blocking the golden light of the Yuxu Palace lantern outside.
The two rays of light collided with each other, making a series of hissing sounds, as if water and fire were incompatible.
Snap!
There was a moment of stalemate, and the blue bead only lasted for a moment before shattering.
But this is enough for the Golden Spirit Mother!
The Golden Spirit Mother trembled all over, as if waking up from a dream, and suddenly opened her eyes.
She looked around in a daze, and after a moment's silence, she remembered where she was and what had just happened. She was so scared that she hurriedly retreated, trying to get away from the Yuxu Palace Lantern.
Buzz!
The lanterns in Yuxu Palace flashed three times and then suddenly disappeared.
"Gone?!" The Golden Spirit Mother was stunned and looked around vigilantly, looking for the location of the Yuxu Palace Lantern and the Dongji Qinghua Emperor, but she noticed that Li Anran was looking above her head.
not good!
The Golden Spirit Mother realized what was happening instantly, but it was too late. The Lingxu Palace lantern above her head cast down brilliant golden light, submerging her.
The Golden Spirit Mother slowly closed her eyes, and her body began to shrink gradually, turning into a human form again.
The Yuxu Palace Lantern was like a decoration pressing down on her head.
It was exactly the same as when Wuji used the World-Destroying Black Lotus to suppress Yang Jian before!
"The Jade Void Palace Lantern is different from the Twelve-Rank World-Destroying Black Lotus."
Emperor Qinghua of the East seemed to see what Li Anran was thinking, and said, "The Jade Void Palace Lantern is what saints use when they preach. The flame inside is the golden fire of cleansing karma, and it also calls the ancient flame of all spirits. It can help people understand their true self, which is of great benefit to cultivation."
"Dou Mu Yuanjun's anger has not subsided. For her own sake, she even wanted to destroy the Heavenly Prison, which led to today's disaster. With this Yuxu Lamp, she can also understand her true self and will not repeat the same mistake in the future!"
Li Anran nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood. He couldn't help but complain in his heart: "As expected of being slashed from Taiyi Tianzun, this ability to occupy the moral high ground is really inherited completely."
Emperor Qinghua of the East asked, "How are you going to deal with Dou Mu Yuanjun?"
Li Anran said: "For the time being, lock her up in the Heavenly Prison, report the matter to the Jade Emperor, and let him handle it."
"Good." The Great Emperor Qinghua of Dongji nodded slightly.
He originally wanted to suppress the arrogance of Jiejiao and warn them to stop and not continue to be so presumptuous.
Everything should be done according to the laws and regulations of heaven, and handing it over to the Jade Emperor is undoubtedly the best choice.
By doing this, at least others can't find fault with it openly.
The Eastern Qinghua Emperor ordered again: "Dou Mu Yuanjun was just angry for a moment. During this period, you must not be rude to her."
"Disciple understands." Li Anran responded respectfully.
The identity of the Holy Mother Wu Dang is not ordinary. Although she caused a big fuss in the Heavenly Prison and violated the Heavenly Rules, she did not cause any major damage. It is estimated that she will be released soon.
But this was enough for him to read the life of the Holy Mother Wu Dang countless times.
Holy Mother Wu Dang was one of the four direct disciples of Master Tong Tian. Even though she is now a phoenix without feathers and is no better than a chicken, she was a golden phoenix in her time. He will definitely gain a lot from her life.
However, it can also be seen from this point that the overall power of the prehistoric world is showing a trend of continuous weakening over time!
Let’s not talk about the first calamity of the dragon and phoenix.
During the Lich and Wizard Catastrophe, the demon race was able to summon 365 demon saints at the Golden Immortal level to form the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array.
Needless to say, the witch clan and the demon clan can fight to the death and both sides suffer heavy losses.
Each of the Twelve Ancestral Witches is extremely powerful, and is equivalent to the quasi-saint realm.
The great wizards under his command, such as Kuafu, Houyi, Xingtian, etc., all have the strength of Daluo Jinxian.
During the Conferred God Period, Jiejiao was known as "the sect of ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage" and was the only dominant sect. Only a few people such as the four direct disciples, Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, etc. were Daluo Jinxian.
There are not many Taiyi Golden Immortals, the most numerous are Golden Immortals and Xuan Immortals!
Don't let the gap between the two be too big!
Of course, cultivation does not equal strength. The most prominent feature of the Sanqing sect is that they have many magical weapons.
If we really fight against the Lich and the Warlock, we may not necessarily lose!
Not to mention, there are saints standing behind them who can overturn the table!
By the time Li Anran traveled through to the Journey to the West, a mere celestial being could rule the mortal world and dominate a region. Golden immortals and mysterious immortals could even become sworn brothers and be called the "Seven Great Sages," dominating the three realms.
Taiyi Jinxian and Daluo Jinxian have become legends.
Apart from those immortals who have survived from ancient times, there are only a few new faces such as Yang Jian, Nezha, and Li Anran.
All this confirms what Yang Jian said: "The Way of Heaven is declining, and the Way of Man is rising."
It is worth mentioning that compared with the period of Conferred Gods, the overall strength of the Three Realms has declined greatly today. However, except for the lack of saints, the high-end forces are much stronger than in the period of Conferred Gods!
This is mainly due to the fact that many Qi Refiners survived the catastrophe of Conferred Gods.
The twelve golden immortals of the orthodox teaching, such as Taiyi Tianzun, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Guanyin, have all broken through to the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal, and some have even completed the corpse-beheading and achieved quasi-sainthood.
There are also Duobao, Wudang, Dipankara, Maitreya, Luya, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and so on.
Their cultivation levels also improved to varying degrees after the Conferred God Catastrophe.
It's just that because he acts low-key and seldom fights with others, the Xuanxian and Tianxian people call him the king.
"Bottoming out? Or the last afterglow?"
Li Anran thought secretly in his heart as he thought about the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio world and the Dharma Ending Age that might appear in the future.
Another thought suddenly came to Li Anran's mind -
Even Yang Jian could sense the conflict between the way of heaven and the way of man. Could it be that Tathagata, the Jade Emperor and the others really didn’t sense it at all?
I also thought of Tathagata and the Jade Emperor joining forces to plot against the monkey, uniting the gods and Buddhas of the three realms to deal with the catastrophe, planning the journey to the West to obtain the scriptures and the gambling fight between Xuanmen, and the gambling fight between Tathagata and Wu Tian.
This behavior seems to be fine, but it reveals impatience from the inside out!
It was as if something was chasing them from behind, forcing them to arrange all these things one after another without stopping!
I have to find some time to have a good talk with my second brother about this!
Li Anran's mind was full of thoughts, but he already looked like he was seeing off the Great Emperor Qinghua of Dongji.
The Great Emperor Qinghua of Dongji originally planned to lock Jiuling Yuansheng up in the Heavenly Prison for a few more days for him to reflect on his mistakes, and then release him, using a big stick and a small date as a countermeasure.
But now, he has realized that something is wrong.
The reaction of the Golden Spirit Mother was too intense, so intense that it was a little abnormal!
So, he decided to keep Jiuling Yuansheng by his side and wait for Jiejiao to show its true colors.
After the Great Emperor Qinghua of Dongji took Jiuling Yuansheng away, Li Anran immediately summoned the divine official, briefly told him what had happened in the heavenly prison, and asked him to write a memorial to the Jade Emperor on his behalf.
Basically, Dou Mu Yuanjun wanted to forcibly take Jiu Ling Yuansheng away from the Heavenly Prison. After being stopped by him, she was about to destroy the Heavenly Prison. Fortunately, Dongji Qinghua Emperor showed up and stopped her and took her down, and asked the Jade Emperor to punish Jin Ling Shengmu.
After doing all this, Li Anran no longer wasted time and sent the still drowsy Golden Spirit Mother into the cell.
Light flowed on the Book of Punishment for Evil, and soon a golden phoenix pattern appeared on the left side, which was the original form of the Golden Spirit Mother.
The message of the Golden Spirit Mother appears on the right.
[Prisoner: Jiejiao Dou Mu Yuanjun Jinling Shengmu]
[Sin value: two and a half stars]
[Cultivation: Daluo Jinxian Level 1]
[Status: In custody]
[Capture participation: 30%]
[Benefits: 2.1 billion experience points/day]
Li Anran looked up the life story of the Golden Spirit Mother.
