Too much fruit

Chapter 1014: Drought Demon Arrives at Ding Lake

The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month.

There was another heavy snowfall in Dinghu, and the entire Qiaoshan Island was covered in frost.

On the steps leading to the Tianshu Hall, the snow was swept once and fell again. Elder Yuheng, who had just arrived, saw this and gently waved his sleeves to brush away all the snow, then couldn't help but frowning slightly.

The sect disciple in charge of this part of the stone steps was somewhat negligent.

The current Dinghu Sect has a new leader, who is none other than the former Tianxuan leader Gongsun Yuanxi. However, she herself is unwilling to change the name of Tianxuan, and does not want to move out of Tianxuan Hall, after all, it carries all the memories of her and her two unfilial disciples.

Therefore, the Tianshu Hall was left vacant and used as a place for daily meetings.

As a result, the area around Tianshu Hall, which was located on the top of the mountain, became much quieter, so much so that the inner disciples who were responsible for cleaning the area became lazy.

Thinking of this, Elder Yuheng made up his mind to go back and have someone give the matter a thorough discipline.

Just as he was about to enter the hall, he heard the sound of a windlass from behind, and then saw a shadow rushing up from below.

Elder Yuheng frowned even more, his eyes fixed on the afterimage, and he could clearly see its true face.

——That was Elder Kaiyang sitting in a wheelchair.

Elder Kaiyang was seen pushing the wheel quickly with both hands. One wheel fell directly on the slope next to the stone steps, which was the ladder, while the other wheel was suspended in the air. He went up the stone steps at lightning speed and arrived in front of Tianshu Hall in a blink of an eye.

"Whoo-"

The wheelchair turned, drifted, moved some distance, and then stopped just in front of Elder Yuheng.

"Good! It's worth all the hard work I've put into practicing these skills."

Elder Kaiyang clapped his hands on the armrest with great satisfaction and said so.

Elder Yuheng's eyebrows were furrowed like the Chinese character "川" (a character for "Chuan"), and he scolded, "How can an elder like you use such tricks? How can you be so shameless."

"I can't help it," Elder Kaiyang complained, "My body hasn't fully recovered yet. I was cut in half, and even most of my upper and lower body were destroyed."

So it's been more than half a year and it hasn't recovered yet. This is reasonable, isn't it?
It was for this reason that Elder Kaiyang was not sent by the new leader to dig for copper in Shoushan.

He didn't know that Tianxuan was doing this for Jiang Li's sake, not to bother with this rough man who used to call him "woman". Otherwise, with Tianxuan's narrow-mindedness, let alone sitting in a wheelchair, even if he was paralyzed, he would have to crawl over with his fingers to dig the mines honestly.

Elder Yuheng lost his temper after hearing this reason. He just waved his sleeves and was about to enter the hall when he suddenly remembered something and said, "There have been some rumors circulating in the outer sect recently, which are detrimental to the dignity of the sect leader. Your Kaiyang Temple is in the outer sect. Ask someone to find out who is spreading the rumors."

Those were rumors about the new sect leader and his second disciple, and they sounded so convincing that Elder Yuheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in anger.

He sent people to arrest many disciples, but the source was never cut off. Not long after, rumors came out again, causing chaos in the outer sect.

"Ha, rumors, the more you deal with them, the more trouble you'll have. It's better to leave it alone. It will soon disappear."

Elder Kaiyang didn't seem to care at all and smiled, "It can't be helped. It's because Emperor Jiang has a bad reputation in this regard. You don't know that the love affair between Emperor Jiang and the eldest princess is still circulating in the Divine Capital."

In short, Kaiyang doesn't want to care.

Of course he knew where these rumors came from. Wasn't it from Old Wantou in the Taoist Pavilion behind the Kaiyang Palace?

Old Wantou is an elder recognized by Emperor Jiang. Whatever he says is most likely what Emperor Jiang wants it to be.

Elder Kaiyang personally thought that this was to pave the way for future events.

So, I’ve opened the Yangwuqu cover for this rumor.

As he spoke, Elder Kaiyang looked at Elder Yuheng with some pity, rubbed his hands on the two wheels, and the wheelchair jumped up, flew over the threshold of Tianshu Hall, and entered inside.

At this time, Elder Tianji had arrived first and was talking to a middle-aged man in yellow clothes.

As soon as Elder Kaiyang entered, he clasped his fists towards this person and performed a very Jianghu-style salute, "Greetings, Uncle Master."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man also smiled and said, "Kaiyang, and Yuheng, it's been a long time."

There was a faint divine light lingering around him, and it was obvious that he was also a practitioner of the divine path. However, compared with Kaiyang, Tianji and Yuheng, the divine light on this person was purer and even difficult to conceal. It radiated outside and faintly echoed with the surrounding areas.

The divine practitioners who show such behavior are basically earth gods.

This is indeed the case. This man's name is Gongsun Ce, and he is the god of the 800-li Dinghu Lake and Tianyuan Cave Heaven.

The divine domain of Sifan Valley was covered by Gongsun Ce. After Yaqi and Lei Shen invaded Dinghu, it was Gongsun Ce who manifested the divine domain and protected Dinghu.

When Jiang Li returned to Dinghu Sect to purge Tianjun's followers, Gongsun Ce met Jiang Li with his divine light.

He is old, and even though he is in the divine realm, it is not appropriate for him to move in his original form so as not to waste his already limited lifespan. Therefore, he basically moves with the divine light and thoughts, driving the divine realm to coordinate with his people.

Kaiyang and Yuheng have not seen him like this for many years.

Gongsun Ce saw the two of them looking surprised and said with a smile, "The headmaster and Master Yu Yuanjun moved back to Shangqing Cave Heaven, and Tianyuan Cave Heaven also benefited from this. This has helped me to increase my strength, so I can travel outside for a while."

Speak of the leader and he will appear.

Just as Gongsun Ce finished his words, a portal slowly rose from the ground in the center of the hall. Pure spiritual energy emerged from inside, and Tianxuan and Yu Shi Yuanjun walked out slowly.

After the demise of the Shangqing Sect, the two of them personally went there to move all of the sect's blessed lands here. After that, they often went into seclusion in the Shangqing Cave Heaven and took care of the place.

Judging from the situation of the cave portal being opened at will, Shangqing Cave should be completely under the control of Tianxuan.

Tianji, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Gongsun Ce all bowed to Tianxuan at the same time, saying, "Greetings, Sect Leader."

"No need to be polite."

Tian Xuan spoke in a gentle voice, and walked to the end of the hall with the Rain Master, then turned to face everyone and said, "I summoned you all here today because I have something to tell you. I think you all know that Emperor Jiang and Daojun have worked together to transform the clear and turbid. Now they have transformed the Divine Capital and the land within a thousand miles into a spiritual realm, recreating the grand scene before the end of the law. At the latest, in the early spring of next year, Dinghu will also usher in the revival of spiritual energy."

"It is true," Gongsun Ce smiled and congratulated, "The master has indeed trained a good disciple."

"Master uncle, thank you for the compliment."

Tian Xuan responded with a smile, and then said: "In order to welcome the emperor, this palace intends to open the Shangqing Cave Heaven, so that the inside and outside of the cave heaven can be connected, so that the location of the sect can become another blessed land. What do you think?"

Shangqing Cave Heaven is the foundation of Shangqing Sect. Its interior is extremely vast, with a radius of three thousand miles, and contains a vast amount of inspiration.

If these inspirations were to flow out, not only would it help Jiang Li quickly transform the clear and turbid, it could also allow Dinghu to be directly upgraded and become a paradise in reality.

It should be noted that the entire Dinghu Lake is only 800 miles in radius, while the Shangqing Cave Heaven is 3,000 miles in radius.

Otherwise, even if Dinghu Lake was transformed into a pure and turbid lake, it would be no different from other lands. The spiritual power of Dinghu Lake was the same as that of other places.

However, upgrading to a blessed cave is the best situation. If something goes wrong, or if it is simply consumed too much, then the Shangqing cave will be wasted. Once the inside and outside are connected, not only will the spiritual energy leak out, but the five turbidities will also flow in. If the transformation of the clear and turbid is not timely, the spiritual energy may turn into turbidity, and Dinghu may not be successfully transformed.

However, no matter what, one thing is certain, this move can greatly help Jiang Li transform the clear and turbid.

Even if Shangqing Cave Heaven is destroyed in the end, it can speed up Jiang Li's transformation of the 800-li Dinghu area and ensure the recovery of his spiritual energy.

'It seems that the head sister has become a little distant from Emperor Jiang, but in fact, she is still on the side of her disciple,' Elder Yuheng thought secretly.

Elder Kaiyang immediately raised his hand and said, "I agree."

Anyway, no matter what, he had to agree with this family's ideas.

Not to mention that Elder Kaiyang now only has Emperor Jiang as his sun in his heart, just for the sake of not going mining, he has no second choice.

Elder Tianji thought for a moment and said, "If the emperor wants to transform the pure into the turbid, it would be best if he could get the help of the blessed land of the cave. We have opened the cave and set a good example, and the other parties should follow suit. I also agree with this move."

"But this may hinder the improvement of Tianyuan Cave Heaven."

Elder Tianji looked at Gongsun Ce.

This great-uncle-master was the first beneficiary of the Shangqing Cave Heaven returning to the Dinghu Sect. If the Shangqing Cave Heaven was destroyed, he would probably have to let his body continue to sleep and act with his spiritual thoughts.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Gongsun Ce pretended to be angry and said, "I am not so short-sighted. If Dinghu Lake is transformed into a blessed land, my advancement will be even greater. Moreover, the Shangqing Sect was destroyed by the emperor himself, so it is only right for me to use the Shangqing Cave Heaven for the emperor."

This old man from the Gongsun family was quite decisive and his words were very appropriate. He not only expressed his opinions but also showed his respect for Emperor Jiang.

Although he is Jiang Li's great-uncle in terms of seniority, Gongsun Ce is still able to understand the situation clearly.

For those who practice cultivation, those who have achieved success are given priority, and those who are strong are respected.

No matter how senior he is, he can't go against the third-grade strongest person.

Thus, the decision concerning the sect was made.

"good."

Tianxuan nodded and continued, "Opening the cave is the first priority. The second is the demon who pretended to be Taizu. Since he dared to disrupt the grand ceremony, he will definitely not give up. You should be careful to prevent the unscrupulous people from taking advantage of this to cause trouble. I don't want the sect to cause trouble again after the disaster of Tianjun."

"Yes." Everyone responded.

After that, they discussed some unimportant matters, and Tianxuan was about to disband the meeting, but -

Yu Shi Yuanjun suddenly fixed his eyes, and his pair of golden pupils stretched into a vertical shape.

"Ow—"

A dragon shadow suddenly appeared and rushed out of the Tianshu Hall at lightning speed. At the same time, a scorching air descended on Dinghu Lake. The severe cold of the winter seemed to be reversed at this moment.

"Hanba!" Tianxuan said sternly and moved out of the hall.

When the drought demon arrived, Yu Shi Yuanjun, who was holding the Yinglong Dao Fruit, sensed it first, and she rushed to the scene almost instantly.

——The furnace of heaven and earth!
In the center of the half-missing mountain, a huge stone sword stood like a mountain peak, with the tip of the sword penetrating directly into the magma below.

The flames flickered, and a green shadow appeared on the mountain wall, with an outstretched hand as if to touch the giant sword through the air.

"Ow—"

A dragon roared suddenly, and in a short moment it came close, and its five white fingers directly grabbed a white wrist.

Yu Shi Yuanjun arrived at the critical moment and intercepted the Hanba who had appeared, but then, flames broke out and Hanba's other hand came out from under his right arm, and scorching flames burst out wildly.

"boom!"

Wind and thunder suddenly appeared, and collided with the flames in an instant. Yu Shi Yuanjun tightly grasped the wrist of Hanba, and used wind and thunder to blast the flames. Countless sword threads stabbed from all directions at the same time.

Raging flames, wind and thunder collided violently, and the rain-like sword threads instantly turned into water mist.

In the fierce collision, the two men exchanged a move, and then the dragon roar reappeared, Yinglong appeared, but suddenly flew backwards dozens of feet away.

"Ow—"

The dragon's roar carried a hint of pain as the winged dragon circled in the air, its huge body hovering above the stone sword, its eyes glowing golden as it locked onto the enemy.

There was fear and a fierce fighting spirit in his eyes.

In just a brief fight, the right claw of Yinglong, transformed by Yu Shi, was already charred black, with faint black smoke emanating from the claw, and even the scales on his arm were burnt and cracked.

Theoretically, Yinglong and Hanba are mutually reinforcing and counteracting, and they are opposite poles of each other. In terms of strength, Yinglong is even stronger than Hanba.

But at this moment, facing the drought demon, the Rain Master was injured in an instant.

Hanba flicked his hand lightly, and flames flowed through his wrist, burning the strange air. His whole body was blazing with flames, and he said lightly, "The integration of Yinglong Dao Fruit is good, which makes me very happy, but the way you integrated the Dao Fruit makes me very unhappy."

Although Yu Shi Yuan Jun has participated in fierce battles many times since his promotion, he has not been able to allow the Yinglong Dao Fruit to be integrated so quickly.

I'm afraid that nearly half of her interpretation of the Dao Fruit was borrowed from the power of a certain unknown Emperor Jiang.

"Today, I will teach you youngsters a lesson on behalf of the Yellow Emperor."

As soon as the words fell, flames rose, and in an instant the rising flames evolved into endless scorching heat, and the move of the red earth appeared immediately.

Drought Palm!
It was extremely hot and fierce, just like an ancient demon god descending to the world, turning the earth into a flaming hell.

What Yinglong saw with his eyes was an extremely scorching red color.

"The water is flowing to the sky."

Yinglong let out a long roar. Facing such a powerful move, she did not hesitate to use all her strength. Her innate energy and dragon body became one, and with the help of the God of Celestial Phenomena, she evolved a raging tide, as if the Milky Way was hanging upside down.

"boom!"

Water and fire collide with each other, stirring up and down, but facing the flames that burn everything, the innate Qi is difficult to be effective.

After only a moment's stalemate, the billowing steam suddenly dissipated, surging with extremely high temperatures.
