Chapter 13 Thunder and Fire

The conical pillar of thunder and fire, a convergence of lightning and raging flames, continued to spin madly before crashing down upon the great ravine of the East Sea. Yet, Fuxi's voice seemed even more powerful and domineering than the sound of colliding thunder and fire. Within the vast expanse of the East Sea's ravine, it could still be heard with absolute clarity.

Forced to transform into a dragon beast with the head of a horned green bull, it was completely dumbfounded. "???" It cried out instinctively, "This, this is what you call refined, polite, and courteous?" Fuxi glanced at it.

"Ahem, I, I mean, Grand Master, this action is unclear. Please enlighten me." Only then did Fuxi nod in satisfaction, saying, "Teachable." "Besides," "the barbaric and crude brute is Yuanshi Tianzun."

"What does this have to do with the refined and moralistic Daode Tianzun?" The dragon beast was speechless. "You're wearing Yuanshi Tianzun's guise to fight here. Does Yuanshi Tianzun know about this?" Fuxi looked at it and asked, "Don't you find this to be extremely elegant and refined?"

Seeing the almost world-destroying thunder and fire tribulation behind Fuxi, with its imposing aura and a voice that seemed to shatter minds, the dragon beast broke out in a cold sweat and nodded repeatedly. "Refined! It's extremely refined!" Fuxi contentedly retracted his gaze, then clenched his five fingers together.

The Qimen Grand Formation unfolded densely, but Fuxi quickly felt a sense of regret. This technique had once exiled ten peak Daoguo realm experts, and although there were many preconditions, it was indeed a powerful feat of reversing the situation and challenging Daoguo in human form.

But now, using it again, he realized that the key to this move lay in timing, skill, and the resoluteness of the person executing it.

In the end, what surpassed Kaiming by half a step was that person, not just the formation that had reached the pinnacle of Qimen. It was truly troublesome and not straightforward at all. It would be better to just smash with magical power and divine abilities! Fuxi gave up on thinking.

The majestic and terrifying aura surged to the sky, and then all kinds of abstruse techniques of the innate Bagua, the achievements that successive Qimen masters would be content with glimpsing even a fraction of, were unleashed like they were free, heavily bombarding the East Sea, directly causing the entire East Sea to shake. It was like a human child reaching out and stirring up whirlpools in a basin, tirelessly playing. Except that what was being stirred at the moment were the Four Seas of the Age of Gods.

Fuxi laughed loudly, "Open the door, Lord of Guixu! This seat, ah, no, this poor Daoist, this poor Daoist!" "This poor Daoist just wants to have a harmonious, courteous exchange with you! Hahaha!" "Open the door!"

You have the guts to bully A'Wa, but do you have the guts to open the door!

Accompanied by the laughter of a madman, the lightning bolts rampaged, extremely domineering, seemingly without end, as they crashed down. In any case, the mount that Fuxi was riding felt numb, not just its body being electrified, but also its ears, truly buzzing from the edge of its ears to the core of its brain.

At this moment, beneath the Great Ravine of the East Sea—Guixu.

The entire Guixu was being stirred into unrest. The violent thunder and fire poured down, and although Guixu had the ability to swallow and expel both clear and turbid waters, claiming that adding all the water in the world would not increase it by a single drop, Fuxi's lightning power was still rampaging everywhere. The core area beneath the Guixu Formation was now shaking violently, and even those with cultivation could not stand steadily.

The Lord of Guixu held onto the armrest of his seat with one hand, his face ashen. Even with the Tianji Formation activated, it was still shaking violently.

The only one who knew his identity, an old and panicked high-ranking Guixu traveler, cried out, "Lord, Lord, something bad has happened!" "Outside, outside..."

"That fiend who opposed you in the past has attacked again!" His face was pale. The Lord of Guixu said, "I know, no need to remind me."

He took two steps forward, raised his head, and saw that the entire sky was shattered by terrifying thunder and fire, its power simply terrifying. The Lord of Guixu gritted his teeth and then retreated three steps. Go out and fight?

What a joke! Thousands of years ago, when that guy hadn't even attained the position of Heavenly Venerate, the Lord of Guixu had almost had his head smashed to pieces by that fiend's slaps.

Guixu, which possessed the wealth of the Four Seas and all the treasures of the myriad worlds, had been beaten into a pauper. Even now, after five or six thousand years, it still hadn't recovered.

Not to mention that the guy had now become a powerhouse in the Daoguo realm, known as Yuanshi Tianzun. Going out now would be suicide!

The Lord of Guixu's expression was unsightly, and the desire to advance to the realm of the ten peak Daoguo grew stronger, as did the feeling of an impending major change. If he continued to suppress the time of his advancement, wouldn't everything be over if he was ever blocked at the door by that fiend from the past?!

He needed to break through as soon as possible—at the same time.

Jue, Qinglong, and Yaoji, who had not yet left, also heard the sounds of thunder and laughter. "Yuanshi Tianzun..."

Qinglong's expression was slightly grave, and his right hand gripped his longsword.

They were still here and hadn't been able to leave yet. If this person went berserk and rushed into this place, they might be affected. After all, as two of the Four Guardians, they might be the focus of the other party's attention. Jue, however, shook her head in slight surprise, saying, "Not Yuan." Qinglong and Yaoji both looked at Jue.

The girl put on her mask, lowered her eyes slightly, and said, "Yes, Yuan is Yuanshi Tianzun." "He definitely wouldn't make such a big show of it before taking action."

Instead, it was more like that 'scum' he occasionally mentioned through gritted teeth would do something like this.

Qinglong was still somewhat shaken and at a loss for words, while Yaoji had long been used to it. She was certain that her cold and easily deceived younger sister was gone forever. She didn't know when she had started to become the kind of person who could say things that made people's hearts uneasy without changing her expression.

Wuu wuu wuu, I wonder which bastard corrupted my sister. Damn it, don't let me find out who you are! Jue put on her mask, concealing her slightly flushed face.

She said, "Then, Sister, let's follow our plan. I'll go back first. Do you want to come with me?"

Yaoji said, "Not for now. Although I'm not the kind of spirit array I used to be, I'm not trapped here, but the sudden disappearance of the Tianji Grand Array's true spirit will definitely be noticed by the Lord of Guixu. If the breakthrough and advancement change, that wouldn't be good..." "Aiya, don't be like that. Don't worry. In the past, we were trapped in the formation, so there was really no way." "Now, if something goes wrong..."

"Qinglong can just take me away from here, right?" Yaoji shook and bumped Qinglong with her shoulder.

Qinglong felt something soft, his expression slightly strange, but in the end, he nodded solemnly, "Naturally." "It's the last step. We've endured for so many years, it would be a pity if something went wrong now."

"It's you, Pi Xiu. That person outside claims to be Yuanshi Tianzun and is making a ruckus there with thunder magic. If you teleport out now, will you be intercepted by him?" Jue reached out and adjusted the mask on her face, saying, "This, it's fine." I think he shouldn't make things difficult for me." After bidding farewell to Yaoji and Qinglong, Jue left the Guixu Grand Array through the Guixu Order's teleportation method. Qinglong and Yaoji could sense her aura passing through the violent thunderclouds outside and then leaving safely.

As for later, there were also those who wanted to leave using the Guixu Order's teleportation array. For some reason, that 'Yuanshi Tianzun' didn't stop them, as if he didn't want to expose Jue's special nature, and it would convey a very clear signal—he was only here to find trouble with the Lord of Guixu.

It had nothing to do with ordinary Guixu travelers, further dismantling the Lord of Guixu's authority.

Qinglong lowered his eyes and said slowly, "The Lord of Guixu already had the desire to break through, but he has always wanted to 'ascend to heaven in one step', avoiding the weak period after advancing to Daoguo, and reach the realm of uniting clear and turbid in one breath, at least to reach the level of Gonggong and Zhurong, so he has been delaying."

"But now he is being threatened at the door by such a powerful figure."

"I'm afraid he will not be able to help but try to break through ahead of time. This is indeed beneficial to our plan." "But this powerful figure's methods are truly 'killing people's hearts'."

Qinglong sighed and then turned his gaze to Yaoji, saying, "However, you're staying here, is it really just because you're worried about the Lord of Guixu discovering that the spirit array is not here?"

Yaoji's face stiffened slightly, and she shifted her gaze to the side, saying, "Ahem, of, of course, it's like that." "What else could it be?"

"What else could it be?"

Qinglong said expressionlessly, "Oh, so it's such a serious reason."

"I originally thought you were planning to transfer a little more stuff from Guixu's treasury to your private account at the end, and then exchange it for more natural treasures and the like for your own enrichment, or buy some real estate in Guixu's name, so that you can still lie at home comfortably after leaving Guixu." Yaoji's face was stiff. "Ah, ahaha..." "Th, that can't be true, can it?"

"Of course, of course, I wouldn't do such a thing. I just want to, I just want to finish that agreed-upon draft quickly, yes, yes, yes, that's it."

Jue relied on Guixu's teleportation array to successfully return before Wei Yuan returned to the Zhenyao Museum, and bought the ingredients in advance.

When he returned to the Zhenyao Museum, the Water Ghost's head was wrapped up in bandages, looking like a mummy. The honest and kind-hearted Binghun explained, "He accidentally bumped into the wall while walking, and then slammed his face against the dormitory's tables and chairs, seriously injuring himself and damaging the Zhenyao Museum's chairs, and so on."

As for Madam Vodka, she said she wasn't eating and was frantically drawing drafts, seemingly having fallen asleep after drinking and dreamed of some kind of inspiration, resulting in today's manga being particularly smooth. It was simply too smooth!

Moreover, she was drawing a very pure hot-blooded battle manga!

Binghun frowned after seeing it, his heart darkened, but he had to pretend to be serious and say that he was very satisfied, and so on. When Wei Yuan was halfway through making the meal, he 'successfully' 'retreated completely' from the Tu Shan clan. When he saw Jue, a smile appeared on his face. Hmm, he just had to take Jue to the Tu Shan clan, it was very simple, so easy.

But he suddenly thought of something, put his right hand into his sleeve, and grasped the Xiwangmu's Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Disaster God Spear from the Qiankun sleeve space. But at this time, the divine spear was extremely quiet, without the causal entanglement that Wei Yuan had sensed before.

He originally thought that one of the causes belonged to Madam Vodka. But at this moment, it was completely silent and unresponsive, and he couldn't make up his mind. "Yuan, what are you thinking about?" Jue asked curiously.

Wei Yuan came back to his senses and said, "There are many complicated things. We'll talk about it when we eat later." "But there is indeed something."

Wei Yuan took out the dark golden spear from his Qiankun sleeve, and Jue was stunned, subconsciously saying, "This is, Wangmu Niangniang's Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Spear?" She reached out to take it, her hand grasped the spear, and then with a casual shake, the spear tip roared, with the vague circling of nine dragons, and the disaster swallowing the sky, even more fierce than the Geng metal evil energy.

Just this one move, someone who wasn't a seasoned spear master who had roamed the human world for decades absolutely couldn't use it. Wei Yuan asked in surprise, "Jue, you know spear techniques?"

Jue said with a smile, "I traveled the human world with Wangmu Niangniang for nearly a thousand years. Wangmu Niangniang's spear techniques are almost unparalleled in the world, how could I not know them?"

Wei Yuan originally wanted to say that Jue was not very old at that time, she should be delicate and cute, and using a battle spear seemed inappropriate. But then he thought that Wangmu should have extremely rich experience in solving this problem. He couldn't say this, he would be chased by the Western Emperor if he said it.

And the girl had already used a few spear techniques casually, sharp and unrestrained, naturally with the style of Western Kunlun, but yet different. The spear techniques were not as fierce and domineering as Xiwangmu's, but rather free and easy, long and vast, like the long sky. There was even more of an ethereal air in the spear techniques.

Like a long wind, circling beyond the nine heavens.
