Chapter 824: Heavenly Tribulation Arrives
“Without a palace master in charge and having lost three pavilion masters, it is likely that he will lose the position of General Zhenhai. Forcing it will only bring disaster. It is better to settle for the second best, make peace with Lingyun Palace, try to keep the position of General Manager of the East Route, and then develop slowly.” Tianquan said.
In the Daman South Sea, in addition to the Zhenhai General’s Mansion, there are also four general administration offices.
Among these four general administration offices, Lingyun Palace is the general administration office of the west route, Dayin Sect is the general administration office of the north route, Chihuo Sect is the general administration office of the south route, and Qixing Palace, because it is located in the east route of the South China Sea of Daman, is not only the Zhenhai General’s Mansion, but also serves as the general administration office of the east route.
"Master Tianquan means to hand over the position of General Zhenhai to Lingyun Palace?" Si Shaonan said.
"This is the only solution for now!" Tianquan said.
"I won't accept this!" Si Shaonan said angrily.
Originally he was the young palace master, and now he has become a Taoist immortal. Given time, he will inherit the position of General Zhenhai. With a wave of his arm, all the Taoist immortals in the Great Barbarian South China Sea will have to obey his orders. How majestic he is.
But now he has to give it up, how can Si Shaonan be willing to accept this?
"What can I do even if I'm unwilling?" Tianji sighed.
…
Lingyun Palace.
The sky was covered with rolling dark clouds.
Inside the hall, Yu Shijin's face looked extremely gloomy and ugly.
He thought that if his son took action, he would surely capture the enemy easily, but he ended up losing face and having to escape in embarrassment. Not only that, several Taoist talents were also killed.
Although those Taoist immortal seedlings are not the most outstanding, they still have hope and can often stand on their own.
Now several people have been killed at once. Even though Lingyun Palace is a wealthy and powerful place, You Shijin still feels a pain in his heart.
"Tai Shi Ba is going too far!" You Shiqi said angrily.
“Tai Shi Ba is very powerful. Even if I take action now, I cannot guarantee victory. Besides, he has the Tai Shi family behind him. He wants to bully you by relying on justice. Even I cannot intervene.
You can only bear with this for now. When you become stronger, you can go to Tai Shiba to get back at him. The most important thing now is the Jiuxuan Sect. "You Shijin said.
"That's right, the Jiuxuan Sect is the key. Once Lan Ran and Yin Ranyue survive the heavenly tribulation, they will be a major concern for our Lingyun Palace!" Fang Linfu said with a serious and worried look on his face.
"The situation has already taken shape, what can we do? For now, we can only wait and see. After all, the Dao Immortal Tribulation is extremely dangerous. Over the years, many promising True Immortal geniuses have ultimately failed and were unable to survive this tribulation.
Although Yin Ranyue and Lan Ran are very powerful, they can't be guaranteed to survive this disaster. Maybe something unexpected happened during this period." Shi Xingman, one of the four elders, said.
Fang Linfu and You Shijin both looked helpless when they heard this.
However, You Shiqi showed a fierce look on his face and said: "Instead of hoping that they will fail in their tribulation, it is better to attack Jiuxuan Mountain directly and kill them to eliminate the trouble forever!"
"Have you forgotten about the matter of the Netherworld? Before this, Si Baijun still wanted to protect the Jiuxuan Sect. Now that the Jiuxuan Sect is so powerful, Si Baijun will definitely take action to protect it!" You Shijin looked at his son with dissatisfaction and said.
"This is the most difficult part. Once the Jiuxuan Sect rises and the Qixing Palace joins forces with the Jiuxuan Sect, it will be even more difficult for the Palace Master to hope to win the position of General Zhenhai." Fang Linfu said.
Everyone fell silent after hearing this.
Above the Lingyun Palace, the dark clouds rolled more and more violently.
At this moment, Yu Shijin's expression changed slightly, and then he showed a look of surprise.
"We just received a message that Si Baijun, Tianxuan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Tianquan suddenly rushed to the Demon-Slaying Pass for some unknown reason and entered the Thousand Shang Abyss where the Huangji Great World and the Viruo Great Demon World meet. As a result, only Tianquan returned seriously injured, and the other four all died in the abyss." said You Shijin.
"What? This actually happened! God must be helping our Lingyun Palace!" Everyone looked surprised.
"That's right, our Lingyun Palace is prosperous, how can the mere Jiuxuan Sect shake us!" You Shijin said proudly.
"Father, since Si Baijun, Tianxuan, Yuheng and Kaiyang are dead! The Qixing Palace is no longer able to protect the Jiuxuan Sect. Now is the time for us to directly attack Jiuxuan Mountain, destroy the Jiuxuan Sect, and eliminate future troubles!" You Shiqi said quickly, his eyes revealing anticipation and strong murderous intent.
"Absolutely not!" Fang Linfu said hurriedly.
"Why not? Before, we were worried that the Taoist immortals from the Seven Stars Palace were stationed in Jiuxuan Mountain and we couldn't attack it. Now that the Seven Stars Palace is gone, is it possible that we still can't attack Jiuxuan Mountain with our strength?" You Shiqi said with dissatisfaction when he heard this.
"Without the Taoist immortals of the Seven Stars Palace secretly guarding the area, with the strength of our Lingyun Palace, it is naturally not a problem to attack Jiuxuan Mountain. However, Jiuxuan Mountain has a powerful mountain protection formation, Yin Ranyue and Lan Ran are also very powerful, and their combined strength is not inferior to that of the Taoist immortals. In addition, Jiuxuan Sect is now full of talents, and there are also many True Immortals. It is not an easy task for us to attack Jiuxuan Mountain.
But this is not the problem. The real problem is that with the death of Si Bojun, the position of General Zhenhai of our Great Barbarian South Sea has become vacant, and the person most qualified to sit in this position now is the Palace Master.
The most urgent task at this moment is for the Palace Master to rush to the Immortal Lord's Palace immediately to present a generous gift, and also send someone to the Immortal Lord Yuansui's Palace in the Great Wilderness to report what happened here to Immortal Lord Yuansui and ask him to speak for the Palace Master instead of creating unnecessary trouble and giving people a chance to talk, thus displeasing Immortal Lord Yuanyou.
As long as we can take the position of General Zhenhai, then Lingyun Palace will be the only one in power in the Great Barbarian South Sea. No matter whether Yin Ranyue and Lan Rancheng become Taoist immortals or not, how difficult will it be for us to suppress Jiuxuan Sect?" Fang Linfu said.
"The Great Elder is right. We must not create unnecessary trouble at this moment and make Immortal Lord Yuanyou unhappy! When my father becomes the General Zhenhai, we can find any excuse to suppress the Jiuxuan Sect. Why rush at this moment?" You Shijin said.
"Okay! I like Lan Ran quite a bit. If she is willing to be my dual cultivation partner, that'll be great. Otherwise, we will destroy the Jiuxuan Sect!" You Shiqi said.
"Haha! Young Palace Master, this is a plan to kill both people and money!" Shi Xingman said with a smile.
Seeing this, everyone started laughing.
The dense dark clouds above the Lingyun Palace dissipated, and a few white clouds floated slowly.
Soon, You Shijin stepped out of Lingyun Palace, tore through the space, and stepped in.
Then, the great elder Fang Linfu also stepped out of Lingyun Hall, tore through the space, and stepped in.
…
The Palace of Immortal Lord Yuanyou is located on the Taixuan Island in the Great Savage Sea.
This Taixuan Fairy Island is a true fairyland, where the dragon veins and fairy veins of the Great Savage Sea converge on this fairy island.
The whole fairy island is shrouded in fairy mist and purple gas rising. Every mountain is covered with various fairy herbs and fruits. From time to time, rumbling Taoist sounds can be heard from Taixuan Fairy Island. People living here, listening to the mysterious Taoist sounds every day, find it much easier to attain enlightenment than in other places.
In the eastern part of Taixuan Fairy Island, there are towering mountains.
There is a group of palaces shining with golden light floating above the mountains, supported by auspicious clouds below.
All around the palace and above the auspicious clouds, one can see immortal soldiers wearing golden and silver armor walking back and forth, exuding a solemn and murderous look.
This palace complex has seven floors in total.
There is only one magnificent palace on the last floor, shining with golden light. It is the palace of Immortal Lord Yuanyou.
The Immortal Lord is different from other immortal officials such as the Immortal Generals and the General Manager.
The Immortal King is not only powerful, but also equivalent to a frontier official in the Immortal Court, in charge of a region and has enormous power.
Immortal Lords have Taoist mountains and immortal palaces specially granted by the Immortal Court. Immortal Lords are not necessarily local Taoist immortals, and many are transferred from other places.
The immortal officials such as Zhenhai General and General Manager are generally selected from the local area, and most of their official residences are the locations of their own sects.
At this time, in the Immortal Lord's Mansion.
Immortal Lord Yuanyou sat high on the throne, and the aura of the Avenue behind him changed in myriad ways. Sometimes it transformed into two armies confronting each other, sometimes it transformed into mountains and rivers, and sometimes it transformed into birds and beasts, as if he was deducing and exploring something.
On the left hand side of Immortal Lord Yuanyou, sat a gentle and elegant man with a white face and no beard.
From time to time, he glanced at the changing aura of the Dao behind Immortal Lord Yuanyou, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Qiu Qing, the death of Si Baijun has caused a lot of trouble, which has put this Immortal Lord in a difficult position!" said Immortal Lord Yuanyou.
“Qiu Qing understands that the Immortal Lord does not want You Shijin to take the position of the General of the Great Barbarian South Sea, but You Shijin is the most powerful force in the Great Barbarian South Sea now, and he has the support of the Immortal Lord Yuan Sui behind him.
If the Immortal Lord does not give him the title of General Zhenhai, Immortal Lord Yuan Sui will definitely be dissatisfied and think that you are deliberately going against him. Now Immortal Lord Yuan Sui is in his prime, and he is appreciated by the fifth disciple of Yong Tianzun, Immortal Bian Min, who specially allows him to enter Yong Tian to listen to the teachings. It can be said that he has some relationship with Yong Tian.
"My Lord Immortal is not competing with other Immortal Lords for anything anyway. He just wants to live a leisurely life in this great barbarian sea. Why would he make enemies with Immortal Lord Yuan Sui just for the position of General Zhenhai?" said the elegant man called Qiu Qing.
This Qiu Qing is one of the four palace-guarding generals under the command of Immortal Lord Yuanyou, and his official rank is the same as that of General Zhenhai.
However, one is a "local official" and the other is equivalent to a "Beijing official."
"This Immortal Lord knows all this! It's just that Immortal Lord Yuan Sui is becoming more and more overbearing, and Yu Shijin's personality is also overbearing and strong. He has caused a lot of trouble in the Great Barbarian South China Sea over the years. Fortunately, Si Baijun has restrained him. I turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.
But if he takes the position of the General of the Great Barbarian South Sea, given his character and background, there will probably be no force in the Great Barbarian South Sea that can restrain him. If I punish him, he will definitely go to Yuan Sui Immortal Lord to make trouble, and in the end he will still be at odds with Yuan Sui Immortal Lord." Yuan You Immortal Lord said.
"There is no other way. We can only take it one step at a time. As long as he pays taxes and tributes on time and doesn't make too much trouble, then we can just leave him alone.
Moreover, in the vast South Sea, not to mention that the Seven Stars Palace is a lean camel that is bigger than a horse, even the Great Hidden Sect and the Red Fire Sect are not easy to deal with, so I think You Shijin can't do whatever he wants ." Qiu Qing said.
After hearing this, Yuanyou Immortal Lord thought for a moment and said, "You are right. In that case, you should accept the things that Youshijin gave you, and you can also go to the Great Wasteland.
Since we are doing you a favor, we should not wait for Yuan Sui Xianjun to come to us. We should take the initiative to tell him. This way, if we really need to punish You Shijin in the future, Yuan Sui Xianjun will know that I am not deliberately making things difficult for him."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Qiu Qing stood up and saluted.
…
Jiuxuan Mountain.
At this time, Qin Ziling and others did not know that the situation in the Great Barbarian South China Sea was about to undergo earth-shaking changes.
After the battle at Rongxuan Mountain Blessed Land, Tai Shi Ba left Jiuxuan Mountain, and no one from the three major sects came to invade again. Qin Ziling and others basically either practiced in seclusion or wandered around Jiuxuan Mountain, relaxing their minds and appreciating the nature of heaven and earth.
Life seems to have returned to its previous peaceful and relaxed state.
This is actually the world of immortal cultivation that ordinary people yearn for.
But in fact, wherever there are people, there is the world of martial arts. The fairyland, which seems high and mighty and where people should live a carefree and detached life without conflict with the world, is also full of dangers and struggles.
One day, Qin Ziling was practicing in seclusion when he suddenly felt something and opened the door of the palace.
Outside the palace, Lan Ran, dressed in a blue dress, walked in slowly, emitting the aura of Taoism, giving people a more graceful, noble and inviolable feeling.
"Zi Ling, my tribulation is coming!" Lan Ran threw herself into Qin Zi Ling's arms, leaning against his chest and said, her eyes revealing a deep affection and tenderness that outsiders could not see.
"I know!" Qin Ziling gently stroked Lan Ran's black hair, then smiled and said, "It's time to give you a drop of Purple Palace Thunder Tribulation Liquid."
After saying that, a drop of purple palace thunder liquid filled with endless vitality power floated in front of Lan Ran's eyes.
"I have confidence that I can survive this natural disaster, so I'd better give this opportunity to others," said Lan Ran.
"You are my love. Even though you have confidence, I cannot take it lightly. Moreover, the Purple Mansion Thunder Tribulation Liquid can not only help you overcome the tribulation, but also help you better understand the way of heaven, strengthen your soul, and enhance your vitality." Qin Ziling said.
Lan Ran felt Qin Ziling's deep concern and love for her, and her heart felt very sweet. She hugged his waist tighter with her hands.
Qin Ziling gently kissed Lan Ran's forehead, and then with an intention, the drop of Purple Palace Thunder Tribulation Liquid fell on Lan Ran's brow and slowly seeped in.
As the Purple Palace Thunder Tribulation Liquid seeped into Lan Ran's brows, an increasingly mysterious and rich Taoist aura emanated from her.
Above the Jiuxuan Mountain, dark clouds suddenly appeared from all directions.
Lightning flashed in the dark clouds, emitting a destructive aura.
At Jiuxuan Mountain, everyone felt as if a disaster was about to happen at first. Their hearts were trembling and their scalps were tingling, but they soon realized that this was a calamity of the Taoist Immortal.
It should be that one of the two peak masters (the headmaster’s wives) is about to go through the Taoist calamity!
Sure enough, Lan Ran, dressed in blue, stepped out of Xuansha Peak, with an Ice Sha Pearl like a cold moon on his head, and headed towards the back mountain of Jiuxuan Mountain.
Soon, the thunder of Taoist Immortal Tribulation fell.
Lan Ran had the help of the Purple Palace Thunder Tribulation Liquid, and the first few lightning strikes directly tempered his body without any damage.
However, she was no match for the golden-winged Roc. After a dozen thunders, she began to activate the Ice Evil Pearl to fight against the heavenly calamity.
