Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 636 Obtaining a Powerful Tongtian Mount
After Zhang Zhiwei figured out the ability of "Jie Yin", he began to study the second ability he got from Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun.

Compared to the first ability, this ability is not very useful, but it is very interesting.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, blue Qi gushed out from his body and gathered together to outline a huge line-like outline. It was a lion with nine heads, which was quite vivid and lifelike.

Zhang Zhiwei stared at the nine-headed lion, which was two meters and two meters tall and more than five meters long. Its entire body was made of Qi and was light blue in color. Although it looked vivid and mighty, it had no detailed hair.

This is the second ability, which summons a Nine-Spirited Saint, who can be used as a fighter or as a mount.

Jiuling Yuansheng has basic intelligence, but it is limited to fighting and riding and cannot do anything else.

Zhang Zhiwei's mind moved, and he commanded Jiuling Yuansheng to circle around him, jumping from time to time.

Perhaps because it is made of Qi, it is extremely light when jumping, and it does not even step on the ground. However, once it issues an attack command, it can blast a big hole in the ground with one claw.

"It's just average in power. It doesn't have the ability to reach the three saints above or the nine springs below as described in myths and legends, but it's enough to be a mask of divine power."

"The most important thing is that we can communicate with each other, just like using one's arm to move one's fingers. It's quite convenient to command it. How about using it as a mount?"

Zhang Zhiwei leaped onto the back of the nine-headed lion. Because the lion was too big and its back was too wide, it was not suitable for riding. But standing on it would be a bit strange...

As he was thinking, Qi surged on the back of the nine-headed lion, and a lotus blossomed, transforming into a lotus platform that was just the right size for sitting cross-legged.

"Not bad, not bad, worthy of being a mount of the Heavenly Lord."

Zhang Zhiwei sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, controlling the movements of the nine-headed lion. The lotus platform was very stable. Even when the lions jumped quickly, they did not feel bumpy at all and there was no need to worry about them falling off.

Of course, with Zhang Zhiwei's concentration, he would not fall off the horse even without this function, but this is the basic operation of the mount.

After experimenting for a while, Zhang Zhiwei felt that it was useless and not as good as his own crane talisman, so he decided to put away his magical powers.

He suddenly thought that the power of the divine mask, evolved with one's own Qi, was only a small use. If it was to unleash its true power, it would require the power of faith.

Whether it is Xia Liuqing or Wang Zhenqiu, their abilities will be taken to a higher level after putting on the gloves that store the power of faith.

What he lacks the least is the power of faith.

Immediately, Zhang Zhiwei mobilized the power of faith and replenished it on the nine-headed lion.

The power of faith used by ordinary advocates is colorful.

But Zhang Zhiwei used the refined golden power of faith, which was extremely pure and its effect was far beyond that of ordinary power of faith.

As the power of faith was injected into the body of the nine-headed lion, it was like injecting flesh and blood into it.

The nine-headed lion, which originally had no hair and was made up of blue Qi, began to become real, with each hair distinct and indigo in color, reflecting a cold luster under the sunlight.

Its limbs are thick, and its claws are as sharp as hooks. It has nine heads gathered together, with the middle one being the largest and most majestic, with its mane standing upright like steel needles. The other eight heads surround it, some looking up, some looking down, some looking left, some looking right, with different expressions.

As soon as these heads materialized, they roared in unison, making earth-shaking roars.

Zhang Zhiwei had an idea and quickly stopped this action. There were many ordinary people on Longhu Mountain. It would be bad if someone was killed by roaring.

The nine-headed lion stopped roaring and did not move. It just stood in front of Zhang Zhiwei with its head lowered.

Zhang Zhiwei reached out and touched the mane on the nine-headed lion. It was very hard, like a steel needle, and exactly the same as the real thing. Without using special means, it would be impossible to tell that this lion was made of Qi.

He pulled it hard, pulling out a lot of bristles.

The nine-headed lion said nothing, as if he was unaware, and the mane he grabbed quickly turned into Qi and disappeared in his hands.

"The power of faith makes the false come true, but it is not really true in the end!"

Zhang Zhiwei flipped over onto the lotus platform, and with a thought, the nine-headed lion instantly rushed out at an extremely fast speed, leaping ten feet. When it landed, the nine-headed lion did not seem as light as before, and it directly blew up a big hole.

Then he leaped up again, and the second time he landed, the noise was much quieter, and the third time it was even quieter...

Until the seventh time, the nine-headed lion landed on the ground without damaging the ground. There was cloud energy rising from under its paws. It leaped up again, stepping on the cloud energy, and flew into the air with Zhang Zhiwei.

The wind was whistling around him. Zhang Zhiwei sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, looking at the scene below. The ground was getting farther and farther away from him.

"Sure enough, after using the power of faith, the ability has been strengthened, and the degree of strengthening is very high. The current level has surpassed the Crane Talisman. Although it is not as good as Aunt Lan's water magic and Huo De Zong's fire escape, it is definitely qualified as a mount!"

A smile appeared on Zhang Zhiwei's face. Although he could fly after using the third level of Reverse Life, flying by Reverse Life was not as fast as riding a nine-headed lion. Besides, gods could fly and had mounts.

After running around in the sky, Zhang Zhiwei landed on the nine-headed lion and walked on the ground.

As a result, after walking a few steps, someone came to find him. After connecting to the bridge between heaven and earth, Zhang Zhiwei had a high degree of perception of Qi and could spot that it was Lu Ci and Lu Jin from a distance.

The reason why the two of them came was because the lion's roar was so loud just now that it alarmed everyone. The Taoist priests in the mountains came out to look for the cause. After all, they couldn't let the pilgrims who went up the mountain be injured by wild beasts.

The two of them were sparring with each other, and when they encountered such a rare thing, they naturally came to join in the fun.

Lu Ci was very confident. He explored the ground and searched. Soon he found the trace and hurried over.

The two of them flew all the way and appeared behind Zhang Zhiwei, and what came into view was the back of a huge monster.

As it walked, there was a sound of thunder rolling in its throat, its hair was indigo, its four legs were as thick as pillars, and there was a faint mist around its body.

Even though the two were at the back, they could still see that the monster had many heads, some of which were even growing backwards. It was looking backwards and staring at them.

They could clearly see the faces of those heads.

They were lion faces with red flames burning in their eyes and tiny flames bursting out of their nostrils when they exhaled.

Lu Jin and Lu Ci both felt a jolt in their hearts.

They are not illiterate people who know nothing. They have been in Longhu Mountain for some time and have visited most of the temples in Longhu Mountain. The lion with so many heads is very recognizable.

However, how could such an existence really exist in the world? Since the mount has appeared, then...

They all looked at the back of the giant beast. On the lotus platform there, a man was sitting cross-legged high up. He was wearing a Taoist robe and was of unusually tall stature.

“Could this be…”

The two looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

"Taiyi saves Ku Tianzun?"

"Senior Brother Zhang?"

Lu Jin was more rational. Even though he felt that the figure was familiar and somewhat like Zhang Zhiwei, he did not think of it as Zhang Zhiwei.

The main reason was that I didn’t feel the unique Qi in Zhang Zhiwei, but only felt a refreshing Qi that made me feel relaxed and happy.

Lu Ci was more emotional, and when he saw this figure from behind, he naturally leaned towards Senior Brother Zhang. Moreover, Tian Jinzhong had said that his uncle said that if Senior Brother Zhang lived in ancient times, he would be called the reincarnation of Taiyi Tianzun. The two corresponded, so wouldn't it be Senior Brother Zhang?

Sure enough, as the monster turned around, Zhang Zhiwei's face came into their sight.

"It's actually Senior Brother Zhang!" Lu Jin was shocked.

"It's really Senior Brother Zhang!" Lu Ci was overjoyed.

The two hurried over to greet him. "You came just in time. Take a look at my mount."

Zhang Zhiwei looked down from above and smiled.

"Mighty and domineering, in line with Senior Brother Zhang's identity!" Lu Ci said.

"Brother Zhang, are you really the reincarnation of Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun?" Lu Jin didn't believe it at first, but now he really believes it.

"It's just a magical power." Zhang Zhiwei laughed, "Didn't I tell you that I practiced the Godhead Mask?"

"Brother Zhang, are you acting as a god?" Lu Jin was shocked. He had seen the methods of using a divine mask, but he had never seen a facial mask on Zhang Zhiwei's face.

"It's not me who plays the god, it's the god who plays me!" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.

Lu Jin was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled.

Zhang Zhiwei did not explain much. Although he was a big mouth, he only liked to tell the facts and did not like to spread rumors. He would not express his opinion on things like this, about which he had only half knowledge.

He noticed the sound of breaking air coming from all around him and that many Taoists were rushing over, so he planned to cancel the spell and disperse Jiu Ling Yuan Sheng.

Suddenly, Lu Ci asked with great interest: "Brother Zhang, how powerful is this... this nine-headed lion under your seat?"

"You want to try it, go ahead?" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.

"May I?"

Lu Ci's eyes lit up.

Although he kept calling him Senior Brother Zhang, he also missed Zhang Zhiwei. If he couldn't beat Zhang Zhiwei, he would challenge his inner demon. If he couldn't beat his inner demon, how could he beat a summoned mount?

After Lu Ci said this, Lu Jin was also moved.

"You two can attack. I will not take any action at all, nor will I control the beast. It will rely entirely on its instincts to fight the enemy."

Zhang Zhiwei sat cross-legged on the lotus platform with his hands folded, smiling.

As soon as the words fell, the momentum of the nine-headed lion suddenly became astonishing.

The nine-headed lion just now, although it looked mighty and domineering, its aura was just mediocre.

But now, it gave people a frightening feeling, as eighteen pairs of eyes were looking at Lu Ci and Lu Jin.

The breathing of the two men suddenly stagnated. It was an instinct, a powerful suppression in momentum.

If a mount alone can give it such strength, then how strong is Senior Brother Zhang on its back...

The two of them had the same thought: the person in front of them was invincible!
"It's not good to be distracted when confronting someone," said Zhang Zhiwei.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "boom".

Just as the two were about to make a move, they ended up flying backwards, hitting the tree behind them hard and falling to the ground.

Lu Ci struggled to get up, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. It happened too fast, and by the time he reacted, it was too late to dodge.

Lu Jin was better off, as he had activated the Reverse Rebirth state in advance. Although the previous attack was heavy, it was not heavy enough to knock him into the Reverse Rebirth state.

"Senior Brother Zhang's mount is a little worse than Senior Brother Zhang's palm!"

Lu Jin exhaled a breath of foul air, and without waiting for Lu Ci, he took a step forward. In an instant, he burst out with amazing speed, came in front of the nine-headed lion, and punched a small lion's head hard.

The imagined scene of breaking meridians and breaking bones did not appear, only a sound like beating a cowhide drum was heard.

The lion head turned around and bit his hand, trying to tear it off. Lu Jin quickly pulled it out and stepped back several steps.

He shook his hand, and white energy flowed from his wrist, and the flesh that had been bitten to pieces was restored to its original state.

Although Lu Jin's Reverse Rebirth had reached the second level, he had not yet reached the point of regenerating severed limbs, so naturally he did not dare to risk having his arms torn off in a fight.

It is worthy of being Senior Brother Zhang’s mount, with such a strong force. My body that is invulnerable to water and fire turned out to be as fragile as paper... Lu Jin was shocked.

Knowing the power of the nine-headed lion, Lu Jin no longer thought about close combat. There were nine heads opposite him, and no matter where he attacked from, he would be bitten.

If it were in the past, 90% of his skills would have been wasted, but now, he has mastered the Tongtian Divine Sword.

He put his fingers together to form a sword, and a four-meter-long sword energy extended from his fingertips and remained there, as if he was holding a four-meter-long sword.

"Alright!"

Lu Jin rushed forward again, but did not get close. He only used the sword energy to chop. However, he did not expect that when he chopped forward, his sword energy was still bitten by a lion head.

"It can bite this?" Lu Jin was shocked.

The nine-headed lion evolved from Zhang Zhiwei's Qi and the power of faith, so it can naturally bite Qi.

At the same time, Lu Ci was not idle either. He kept using Ruyi Jin to attack the nine-headed lion from all directions from the air and underground.

Unfortunately, the nine-headed lion didn't move at all. His attacks were like tickling and couldn't hurt it at all.

What Senior Brother Zhang said before was right. The family-inherited skills are not enough when facing a master... Lu Ci thought to himself, and after a rough test, he began to use the Ruyi Jin Zhen Jin.

At this moment, Lu Jin was wrestling with the nine-headed lion. He wanted to pull out the sword that was bitten by the lion, but he couldn't.

He simply gave up drawing his sword, and instead channeled his Qi into his fingers. He used the Tiantong Finger technique to directly shoot the sword Qi into the throat of the nine-headed lion. Unexpectedly, this only caused the lion's head to sneeze several times and let out a roar like thunder.

After Lu Ci gathered his Qi, his powerful punch, which was so powerful that it caused cracks in the air, was blocked by the flames spewed out by the largest head of the nine-headed lion and could not hurt it at all.

"Not bad, there has been progress!" Zhang Zhiwei commented.

He could see that both of them had made great progress, but after being strengthened by the power of faith, this nine-headed lion was now a decent weapon even in his hands.

Lu Jin and Lu Ci couldn't even withstand a slap from him, so how could they deal with this Nine Spirits Saint?

If he had not given the order in advance not to take the lives of these two people, he would have been killed instantly by the lion at the first sight.

While Zhang Zhiwei was speaking, the nine-headed lion under his mount did not stop. It instantly flew in front of Lu Jin and slapped Lu Jin's temple hard.

Lu Jin was unable to Qi his head, so he could only raise one arm to block with all his strength. His eyes went dark, and he was kicked out, knocking down several trees in succession, and finally smashing into the cliff wall, leaving cracks all over it.

It was a close call, I almost got beaten to death just now... Lu Jin took a deep breath, and the next second, everything went black again.

A figure hit him like a cannonball, knocking him unconscious. A human-shaped hole was smashed into the cracked stone surface behind him.

"Hedgehog, fuck your legs!"

Lu Jin couldn't help but swear. Old Lu was a decent man and usually didn't swear unless he was very angry.

At the same time, Taoist priests from the surrounding areas also arrived one after another.
