441 Tianshui Sect is people-oriented, but Phoenix is not a human
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry! I'm almost dead! Save me!" The old phoenix was so anxious that he shouted with a clicking tongue.
Taoist Tianyun was busy guarding the formation and had no time to pay attention to him.
The great elder who was standing outside the hall and paying close attention to everything going on in the sect saw this scene and turned the paintbrush in his hand.
Using spiritual power as ink and mountains and rivers as paper, the great elder held a paintbrush and sketched a lifelike fire phoenix in the void.
The moment the fiery red pupils were lit, the Fire Phoenix came to life, spread its wings and flew away, and uttered the voice of the old phoenix: "Hey, Xiao Lu, your painting skills have improved. You brought me here from such a long distance."
The great elder chuckled and said, "Please bear with me. Master is too busy saving the world to have time to split himself. I will send a disciple to take you to the Shenmu Forest to recuperate."
The old phoenix was quite satisfied. It spread its wings, drew a circle in the air, and landed on a stone tablet in front of the hall that was taller than a human.
The stone tablet is engraved with the aspirations and ambitions passed down from generation to generation by the disciples of the Tianshui Sect - to establish a mind for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry on the unique knowledge of the past sages, and to bring peace to the world for all generations.
The stone sculpture of Bixi carrying the stone tablet came to life, shook its body in dissatisfaction, and spoke in human language: "Get off me, old thing."
Huo Feng lowered his head in surprise: "Old Bei? They said you were dead, how come you are still in Tianshui Sect?"
"I'm happy to do so. Is that not okay?" Bixi rolled his eyes at him, stood up, carried the several-meter-high stone tablet on his back and moved to the other side with heavy steps, then fell down with a "clang" and turned into a stone sculpture again.
The spiritual power of the Tianshui Sect was gradually integrated into the stone sculpture, repairing the broken soul of the Bixi.
The old phoenix stood on the ground, looked up, and could not see the top of the stone tablet. Suddenly, he became deeply worried about his resurrection life in Tianshui Sect.
He put away his elder's manners and asked the elder in a friendly and gentle tone: "Xiao Lu, I have been good to you over the years, right? You can't do anything to let me down."
The Great Elder motioned him to rest assured: "Senior Bixi volunteered to carry the stele for our Tianshui Sect. When Master became the Sect Master, we stipulated that whenever a Taoist friend seeks cooperation, we will always value harmony and never force anyone."
The stone-carved Bixi at the other end of the square let out a very loud cold snort.
Old Phoenix looked over in the direction of the voice, and was glared at by Bixi: "What are you looking at? Can't you see that I volunteered?"
Is your "voluntary" statement too exaggerated?
"Cough, cough!" The old phoenix coughed twice, straightened his back and said to the elder, "I died to save the Tiancheng Spirit Realm. This is considered a work-related injury. You, the Tianshui Sect, cannot let me pull the stele."
"Don't worry, we in Tianshui Sect have always put people first. Your soul is too weak, so it's important to nurture it first. We can deal with the rest later." The elder called a disciple in the Void Refining Stage, "Just follow him."
The old phoenix looked at him suspiciously for a while, but didn't notice anything wrong. It flapped its wings and followed the disciple in the Nascent Soul stage into the teleportation formation in the hall, and soon disappeared.
As soon as he left, the Bixi outside the hall laughed out loud: "Hahahaha... Lu Chengzhe, I want a phoenix feather from this old guy! I want the tail feather!"
"Senior, you haven't paid off the debt of saving your life yet, why are you thinking about our Tianshui Sect's things?" asked the great elder.
"At worst, I can work for you for another thousand years. I've been wanting this old guy's phoenix tail feather for a long time, but I've never been able to get it. When you go to collect the debt from him, remember to leave one for me!"
The Tianshui Sect is people-oriented, but the phoenix is not a human.
That's how Bixi was fooled back then. He thought he could get the resources of Tianshui Sect for free, but ended up working to pay off his debts until now, and he still hasn't been able to pay them off.
Now, not only does he have someone to accompany him to pay off his debts in Tianshui Sect, but he can also get the phoenix tail feathers he has been longing for. Bixi is so happy that even the stone tablet on his back shakes.
Having stayed in Tianshui Sect for too long, Bixi has already taken on the shape of Tianshui Sect. He even happily helped the Great Elder come up with ideas on how much to charge Old Phoenix for saving his life.
At this moment, the earth shook, and a loud "boom" resounded through the sky, and the entire Tianshui Sect heard it.
Countless huge green vines entangled and drilled out from the ground, like pillars of heaven, dividing the boundless sky of Tianshui Sect into two.
The sly smile on the Great Elder's face immediately turned into seriousness, and his figure turned into ink and disappeared, heading straight for the place where the vines were growing wildly.
"I hope there's something wrong with the core of the Tianshui Sect's formation..." Bixi looked at the direction he left, let out a hiss, and muttered to himself before crawling into his shell.
…
Sword Cliff.
The shaky center of the formation was operating with difficulty, and strange green lights flashed below one after another, as if it would break out of the formation at any time.
These green lights gradually gathered into the shape of a big tree, and a vague human figure appeared from the center of the tree.
A strange male voice was heard by every Grand Elder through the buzzing formation center: "Humph, I didn't expect that you Tianshui Sect are so powerful. You actually defended the main formation center with only eight Tribulation Crossing Stage warriors."
Taoist Tianyun frowned, sensing the corrupt aura coming from the center of the formation, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you the spirit of the World Tree?"
"Smart. Why don't you guess whether this formation's eye can stop me." The tree spirit laughed maliciously.
Everyone present felt something was wrong at the same time.
The protective formation left by Mingchen Immortal Venerable was mainly used to stop the Devourers from outside the realm, but the tree spirits were in the Tiancheng Spirit Realm...
Before he could finish this thought, the center of the formation, which was flickering on and off, suddenly glowed green.
The second elder suddenly felt that the remaining spiritual energy in his body had been sucked away by the eye of the formation!
Her body was uncontrollably bounced several feet away by the center of the formation, and she fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Next came the Taoist Qingfa and Taoist Mengyu, who had lower levels of cultivation. They were also drained of their spiritual energy by the eye of the formation and bounced back a long distance, falling to the ground seriously injured.
The tree spirit, with the help of its connection with the World Tree itself, can actually call upon the power of the Devourer in such a place!
Suddenly, the three Tribulation Crossing monks guarding the formation were gone, and the suppressed power below the formation broke through the shackles and rushed out of the formation. All the monks guarding the formation were counterattacked, seriously injured, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.
The center of the formation was broken with a loud noise like thunder, and countless vines with human faces rushed out from the formation, attacking Tianyun Daozun, the most powerful person present, in a corrupt manner amidst the rich vitality.
Taoist Tianyun's face changed drastically. He swung out with his sword, barely blocking the vines that were attacking him, and then retreated to a deserted place.
Countless vines with human faces followed behind him, trying to drill into his body and suck out his skills and vitality.
Since being promoted to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, except for the last time he sparred with Taoist Master Zhuyue, Taoist Master Tianyun has not encountered such a difficult enemy in tens of thousands of years.
Why hasn’t this bastard Zhuyue reached the Mahayana stage yet?
Otherwise, how could he, as the master, be chased and beaten by a tree!
Unfortunately, the opposite happened. Taoist Tianyun was already close to exhausting his spiritual energy, and while he was dodging with all his might, he was soon caught up by a thin vine!
Just as the vine was about to pierce his heart and madly absorb his vitality, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the center of the sword cliff.
The sky and the earth changed color, thunderclouds suddenly gathered, lightning flashed through the clouds, and loud thunder roared down, blasting open the seal in the middle of the sword cliff.
Amid the interweaving of countless thunder and lightning, Jiang Yichen flew out with a sword in his hand.
The heavenly thunder of tribulation, carrying the power of heaven and earth, crushed the vines on the ground like a hot knife through butter!
