Chapter 816: Golden Peng Technique
"So what if You Shijin has a misunderstanding? Could it be that our Seven Star Palace is afraid of their Lingyun Palace? What's more, You Shijin acquiesced to the Netherworld Palace's attack on the Jiuxuan Sect, which is obviously aimed at our Seven Star Palace!" Si Shaonan sneered.
"Shaonan, we are not afraid of Lingyun Palace, but we are wary of Yuansui Immortal Lord behind Lingyun Palace!" Si Baijun waved his hand and said.
"Father, the power base of Immortal Lord Yuansui is in the Great Wilderness. This is the Great Savage Sea. Ultimately, Immortal Lord Yuanyou has the final say. Besides, we in the Seven Stars Palace are no pushovers. Why should we be so afraid of Immortal Lord Yuansui that we can let Lingyun Palace run wild over us?" Si Shaonan said unconvinced.
"When you become a Taoist immortal one day, you will gradually understand that even though they are all immortals, they can be very different!" Si Bojun waved his hand again, and then changed the subject: "However, my biggest confusion now is how the Jiuxuan Sect destroyed the Netherworld Palace."
“That’s right, outsiders don’t know that this matter has nothing to do with our Seven Stars Palace, but we know it very well that the old demon Youtong was definitely not killed by the Palace Master.
But if it wasn't the Palace Master, who else could it be? Who else in the Great Barbarian South Sea has such ability to kill the old demon Youtong without even giving him a chance to escape?" said the Pavilion Master of Tianquan Pavilion.
"Should we specifically inform Lingyun Palace about this matter and explain it to You Shijin face to face? In this way, not only can our Qixing Palace distance itself from this matter, but Lingyun Palace will also know that it was not done by our Qixing Palace. In all likelihood, they will directly launch an attack on Jiuxuan Sect, and we can just sit back and watch the fight!" said the Pavilion Master of Tianxuan Pavilion.
As soon as Tianxuan Pavilion said this, everyone was moved.
"Although this is a bit embarrassing for our Seven Stars Palace, as if we are afraid of Lingyun Palace, it is true that we did not kill the old demon Youtong, and there is no need for us to take the blame for the Jiuxuan Sect!" The head of Yuheng Pavilion was the first to speak in agreement.
"That's right!" The leader of Yaoguang Pavilion nodded in agreement.
"This is not appropriate." Si Bojun waved his hand, and then paused for a while before saying: "You Shijin may not believe what we say, and even if You Shijin believes what we say, do you think You Shijin will give up his ambition to dominate the Great Barbarian South Sea?"
"You Shijin relies on the support of Immortal Lord Yuansui, and with the strength of Lingyun Palace, how could he give up his ambition to dominate the Great Barbarian South China Sea!" everyone said.
Si Bojun nodded and said, "There can't be two tigers in one mountain. Lingyun Palace has the ambition to dominate the Great Barbarian South Sea, and we, the Seven Star Palace, can't just give up the position of overlord. No matter how we show goodwill, this dispute can never be resolved!
Therefore, whether I take the blame or not, it actually has no effect on the relationship between my Qixing Palace and Lingyun Palace, but it plays a big role in changing the relationship between our Qixing Palace and Jiuxuan Sect.
Jiuxuan Sect has always followed the lead of Qixing Palace. Although it is not our direct affiliated force, it can be regarded as our semi-affiliated force in the western region and has been helping us to contain Lingyun Palace.
However, in the past ten thousand years, the Jiuxuan Sect has not produced any Taoist immortals, which is why it has declined rapidly. Speaking of which, it is also because we are not righteous enough. Seeing the rapid decline of the Jiuxuan Sect, we are unwilling to have a major conflict with the Lingyun Palace because of it.
Therefore, when the Netherworld Palace besieged the Nine Profound Sect, they did not intervene. I think the Nine Profound Sect must be upset about this matter, and even resentful.
If the Jiuxuan Sect was still in its previous state of decline, whether they resented it or not would have no impact on my Seven Star Palace. But today was different from the past. For some reason, the Jiuxuan Sect destroyed the Netherworld Palace.
Either there is a powerful figure backing the Jiuxuan Sect, or there is some powerful killer move hidden in Jiuxuan Mountain. The former is more likely.
No matter which situation it is, we should not make enemies with Jiuxuan Sect, otherwise we will have another powerful enemy. So, in my opinion, we should not only take the blame, but also take the initiative to go to Jiuxuan Sect and send some resources as gifts to show our apology and support. As for how Lingyun Palace and Jiuxuan Sect fight, we don't care. "
Everyone was surprised when they heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that Si Bojun's analysis made sense.
Lingyun Palace has already posed a great threat to Qixing Palace, and Qixing Palace should never create another powerful enemy.
…
By repeatedly performing mysterious Taoist methods of crossing space, Qin Ziling quickly returned to Jiuxuan Mountain.
Madam Yin Ranyue and Madam Lan Ran are still in seclusion, practicing and comprehending the way of Taoism, in order to break through and become Taoist immortals as soon as possible.
Madams Xiao Qing and Xia Yan, as well as most of the elders and guardians were in a semi-seclusion state.
Another small number of people are not in Jiuxuan Mountain.
After all, Jiuxuan Mountain is just a temporary place borrowed by Wuji Sect. Wuji Sect’s original place of residence is in Pingyu Mountain, where there are many disciples.
Although those people's cultivation is relatively low, they are the reserve force for the rise of Wuji Sect , so they must be taught and cultivated well.
There are also a large number of veterans in Wujimen, such as Qin Jianmei, Lai Yinuan, Qi Yu, etc., all from Xuanming Continent.
Now that they have achieved success in their training, it is time for them to go back and give out some resources as rewards, and also see if there are any suitable disciples who can be extradited to Wuji Island.
There are also Qin Ziling's sworn brothers and sisters in his early years, such as Jinyu, Qu Jiao, Wancheng Wanfei and so on, who also want to go back to their tribe to have a look.
When Qin Ziling came back, he first paid his respects to his mother Cui Yun, then spent some time with the two ladies, and then he headed straight for Diyou Peak.
Diyou Peak, with its secluded earth veins, is a good place to practice and comprehend the way of Yinsha death.
The four underworld immortals including Si Shou have been practicing in seclusion in Diyou Peak these days.
"Greetings, Master!" The five Hades Immortal Generals came out of retreat to pay respect to Qin Ziling.
Although they hadn't seen each other for a while, the cultivation of the five Hades Immortal Generals had obviously improved a lot.
Qin Ziling was not at all surprised by this.
The Five Dark Immortals have had too many great opportunities in recent years.
First, there was the Nine Netherworld Qi left behind by the Underworld Immortal, then there was the essence and blood of the old demon Youtong, and then there was the Purple Mansion Thunder Tribulation Liquid. Any one of these was an incredible fortune, and they obtained them one after another.
As for other things like the power of death transformed by secret techniques by Qi Gui and others in the Dark Emperor Heaven, they are not considered great opportunities compared to these.
"With this drop of Zhou Shixin's blood, the Four Heads should have hope of attaining the Way of the Dark Dao Immortal in the near future. However, the Heavenly Tribulation of the Dark Dao Immortal is even more dangerous than the Heavenly Tribulation of the Dao Immortal. Fortunately, you got the Five Elements Fruit Tree, and my cultivation has greatly increased recently. Before he passes the tribulation, I will work together with the Five Elements Fruit Tree to refine him to a more perfect state.
In this way, he shouldn't have much of a problem in overcoming the tribulation. Moreover, with Sishou's foundation and the fact that he is a dark immortal, once he attains the Tao, he will be a mid-grade Taoist immortal." The one-eyed fire dragon poked his head out, looked at Sishou carefully and said.
When the four heads heard that there was another drop of Taoist blood, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. But when they heard that the Fire Dragon wanted to work together with the Five Elements Fruit Tree to temper him, their faces suddenly turned pale.
The Hades Immortal General is most afraid of thunder and fire.
The fire of the one-eyed fire dragon is extremely powerful, and the five elements fruit tree carries a trace of innate fire. When the two are combined, the power is even more terrifying. Even though the four heads are powerful, they still feel excruciating pain every time they endure it!
However, when Si Shou heard Huo Long say that once he attained enlightenment, he would be able to be on par with a mid-level Taoist immortal, a firm and fearless look appeared in his deep eyes.
"That's great!" Qin Ziling couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that.
When it comes to the matter of overcoming the tribulation, what he was most worried about was not Lan Ran and Yin Ranyue, but the five Hades Immortal Generals.
Because it is extremely against the will of heaven for an immortal to attain enlightenment, the power of the heavenly calamity is great, and the way of thunder is extremely strong and yang, which is most effective in suppressing evil and death.
Therefore, even though the five Hades Immortal Generals had obtained many great opportunities and fortunes, it was still very dangerous for them to overcome the tribulation.
"Si Shu will definitely live up to the master's high expectations!" Si Shu felt Qin Ziling's genuine concern and happiness for him, and was moved, kneeling on one knee and said.
Qin Ziling patted Sishou on the shoulder, then took out the drop of Taoist blood obtained from Zhou Shixin and gave it to Sishou as a reward.
The four of them bowed in thanks, then swallowed the Dao blood and went into seclusion again, preparing to endure the tempering of hellfire after refining the Dao blood and turning it into the power of death.
Qin Ziling encouraged Yuan Da and the other four Hades Immortal Generals a few more words and then returned to Xuansha Peak.
After returning to Xuansha Peak, Qin Ziling took out a drop of thunder liquid and used his soul to inject the drop of thunder liquid into the center of the golden-winged Roc's forehead.
The thunder liquid slowly seeped into the brain skull of the golden-winged Roc. The strange power that had already seeped into its bones felt the crisis in the face of the extremely strong, masculine and vital power of the thunder liquid, just like a huge wave suddenly rising from the calm sea.
A strange, dark and deep power surged wildly in the brain of the Golden Winged Roc. Visible black aura continued to escape from the brain of the Golden Winged Roc, transforming into all kinds of evil and strange demons that surrounded the Golden Winged Roc, grinning, baring its teeth and claws, and roaring wildly.
The golden-winged Roc rolled wildly on the ground in agony, knocking over countless mountains in the Qiankun Cave Heaven. It then flew into the sky, continuously crashing into the sky, causing cracks to appear in the void.
Qin Ziling was facing a formidable enemy, his soul and golden body appeared in the void of Qiankun Cave, shining with golden light.
The five-colored feather beads were released by him, and the five-colored divine light fell, calming the golden-winged Roc that was in extreme pain. The golden body of his soul then stretched out a big hand and gently stroked the golden-winged Roc.
Gradually, the golden-winged Roc stopped rolling and curled up under Qin Ziling's golden body, feeling safe as if it had returned to its mother's arms.
Its painful expression gradually turned into calm and peaceful.
At some unknown moment, Qin Ziling suddenly discovered that his soul had entered the Niwan Palace of the golden-winged Roc.
In the Niwan Palace, Qin Ziling saw a golden-winged Peng bird covered in dazzling golden light spreading its wings and flying upwards. Runes flashed on its wings, displaying the extremely mysterious secrets of Taoism.
"This is the Golden Peng Technique!" Qin Ziling suddenly had an epiphany and his soul couldn't help but tremble.
The Golden-winged Peng is not only a divine bird with the natural killing power of Gengjin, but it was also one of the most powerful divine birds in ancient times. It is even said that the first Golden-winged Peng in the world could fight against the Taoist master, and that the Golden-winged Peng's speed is the highest in the world and no one can match it.
The golden-winged Roc, with its powerful and pure bloodline, has the magical secret technique passed down from its ancestor, the Golden Roc Technique, in its soul since birth.
This technique is hidden in the soul and is mysterious. Outsiders are not allowed to spy on it. Even if the Golden-Winged Peng Bird is willing to teach it, one cannot learn the essence of the mystery and can only learn the basics.
With the help of this Golden Peng technique, once the Golden Winged Peng Bird attains enlightenment, it can be on par with a mid-level Taoist immortal, or even close to a high-level Taoist immortal. It is quite impressive.
Qin Ziling used his spiritual power to activate the Purple Palace Thunder Tribulation Liquid, helping the Golden-Winged Roc to refine and eliminate the strange power that had been integrated into his brain and bones.
The golden-winged Roc seemed to be reborn, and Qin Ziling was like its reborn parent. In pain, it developed an infinite dependence and trust in him. Unconsciously, its Niwan Palace opened up, allowing Qin Ziling's soul to enter to comfort it, giving it safety and warmth.
This golden-winged Roc has been corroded by a strange force since birth. Now that it has been refined by the thunder liquid, its dusty magical powers are like gold that has been re-refined by fire, becoming even more dazzling and pure.
Not only did the golden-winged Roc have a deeper understanding of this magical skill, but Qin Ziling also got a glimpse of the true meaning of this magical skill.
"Good and bad things really are interdependent! The golden-winged Roc has been infected by strange forces for a long time, but today it has been purified, as if it has been washed away and returned to its original nature. Not only that, I have also benefited greatly from it."
Qin Ziling comprehended the Golden Peng Technique and saw the powerful and condensed soul of the Golden-winged Peng Bird, and he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
“The art of spirit and soul is indeed the most mysterious art in the world. If you hadn’t practiced the way of spirit and soul, how could you have the opportunity today? This Golden Roc art has been coveted by countless powerful people since ancient times, but you have mastered it so easily.” The one-eyed fire dragon sensed that Qin Ziling had comprehended the Golden Roc art and couldn't help but stick his head out and sighed.
As Qin Ziling and the one-eyed fire dragon were sighing, the black gas emanating from the golden-winged Roc became less and less.
After a day and a night, the black gas no longer emanated from the golden-winged Roc.
It opened its eyes, and the golden light was sharp, as if it could see through everything.
"Greetings, master!" A golden light flashed, and the golden-winged Roc transformed into a dignified blond man with starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows. He knelt down on his knees facing Qin Ziling, his eyes full of awe and admiration.
The golden-winged Roc was once in a daze, but now it has finally come to its senses and is like a baby towards Qin Ziling.
"From now on, you will be called Jin Peng. You are my fifth disciple." Qin Ziling helped Jin Peng up.
"Jin Peng greets Master!" Jin Peng was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and kowtowed. The sound was clear and powerful like the collision of metal.
"Starting today, you have to comprehend the great Dao of heaven and earth in the Huangji Great World, and overcome the tribulation and become a Taoist immortal as soon as possible!" Qin Ziling said, and then moved Jin Peng out of the Qiankun Cave Heaven.
After moving Jin Peng out of the Qiankun Cave Heaven World, Qin Ziling introduced him to Cui Yun and others.
After that, Jin Peng went into seclusion to comprehend the way of Taoism.
The Golden Peng's bloodline is pure and powerful, and he has inherited the great way of the Golden-winged Dapeng ancestor. In the Dark Emperor Heaven, no one knows how many Heavenly Dao Creation Fruits and other elixirs he has consumed.
The medicinal power has been accumulating in his body but has not been truly utilized.
As long as Jin Peng makes use of all these during this retreat, the path to becoming a Taoist immortal will be just around the corner. This can be said to be a result of accumulated effort.
After Jin Peng went into seclusion, Qin Ziling also followed suit.
Qin Ziling’s understanding of the great Dao is actually enough.
But his foundation is too strong. Even though he has no shortage of resources, he still needs a process and time to refine and absorb them.
…
One day, Qin Ziling was practicing in seclusion when he suddenly felt the fluctuation of the aura of the Great Dao outside Jiuxuan Mountain. Puzzled, he got up and headed for Xuandu Peak.
"Hello, teacher!" Seeing Qin Ziling coming to visit, Yue Huai hurriedly welcomed Qin Ziling into Jiuxuan Palace, still observing the etiquette of a student.
"I was just meditating and contemplating the Great Dao, when I suddenly felt the aura of the Great Dao fluctuate. I guess a Taoist immortal is coming." Qin Ziling said.
"There is such a thing!" Before Yue Huai could answer, Jiuxuan, the spirit of the Xuantian Mirror, appeared and said in surprise.
After saying that, Jiuxuan looked into the distance.
The Xuantian Mirror was born in Jiuxuan Mountain. Unless there is some special formation or magic weapon to cover it, the changes in the energy of heaven and earth around Jiuxuan Mountain cannot escape his perception.
He did not feel any fluctuations in the aura of the Great Dao, but Qin Ziling did, which naturally surprised him.
"Sure enough, a Taoist immortal came to visit, it's Tianji from the Seven Star Palace." Jiuxuan said quickly, looking at Qin Ziling with shock and deeper awe in his eyes.
When Yue Huai heard that the person coming was Tianji from the Seven Stars Palace, he was shocked, but he quickly stood up and bowed to Qin Ziling.
"Teacher, Tianji is one of the seven pavilion masters of the Seven Stars Palace, a well-known Taoist immortal. He is also in charge of the Tianji branch shops opened by the Seven Stars Palace in various places, so he has a wide range of connections. I am really surprised that he came to the Nine Profound Sect this time. How do you think I should receive him?"
“Since the Jiuxuan Sect has announced that it will close its mountain gate for a hundred years, it will naturally treat the Qixing Palace equally.” Qin Ziling said.
"He is a Taoist immortal, and he comes here on behalf of the Seven Stars Palace. Will doing this..." Yue Huai showed a trace of uneasiness on his face.
"If the Seven Stars Palace had come to help when the Netherworld Palace attacked the Nine Profound Sect, you should have opened the door to welcome Tianji this time. But when the Nine Profound Sect was in trouble, the Seven Stars Palace stood by and watched, so why should you care about their face?
If you give them face, will the Seven Stars Palace help you next time the Nine Profound Sect is in trouble? Or if you don’t give them face, will the Seven Stars Palace send troops to attack the Nine Profound Sect? "
Yue Huai thought for a moment and said, "Of course not, I know what to do!"
"I'll go with you. I want to see why the Seven Star Palace suddenly sent the Master of Tianji Pavilion at this time?" Qin Ziling said.
After saying this, Qin Ziling's figure and appearance changed, and it was so natural that if you didn't know him, you wouldn't be able to see any flaws.
Yue Huai brought Qin Ziling to welcome the Master of Tianji Pavilion at the reception hall outside Jiuxuan Mountain.
The Tianji Pavilion Master was indeed born into a merchant family. He was very patient and not only did he not get angry, but he smiled and had a good chat with Yue Huai. He also specially presented some gifts and said, "The Palace Master heard that your clan suffered a great loss in a battle with the Netherworld Palace a few years ago, so he specially ordered me to send some items to show his appreciation. I hope Master Yue will not think it is too little."
Yue Huai would naturally not refuse a benefit that was offered to him, so he accepted the gift and exchanged greetings with the Master of Tianji Pavilion.
The master of Tianji Pavilion is a Taoist immortal with a noble and transcendent status, which is not comparable to the current Yue Huai. Knowing that his meaning has been expressed, he is unwilling to waste time with Yue Huai and quickly stands up to say goodbye.
Yue Huai tried to persuade the guests to stay for a while, then stood up to see them off.
