Chapter 629 Escape from the Western Continent, Yuanjun's Betrayal
Ni Chang Yuan Jun's pupils contracted, her heart filled with not only panic but also a trace of guilt. She had probably dragged Zheng Fa down by sending him.
Just as she was about to speak again, she heard Zheng Fa's voice transmission in her ear: "Go!"
Before Ni Chang Yuan Jun could react, "Zheng Fa" beside her transformed into a golden crow, grabbed her, and soared into the sky.
The two of them crashed open the glazed roof of the Rainbow Palace, and shards of glazed glass flew everywhere like scattered starlight.
"Golden Crow?" The Peacock Emperor and his companion were stunned for a moment, not expecting Zheng Fa to be so decisive and run away without a word. They were also surprised that Zheng Fa would suddenly transform into a Golden Crow. Only now did they realize what had happened.
The two looked at each other and hurriedly chased after Zheng Fa and the others, but they were both silent and had some unspeakable thoughts.
After a long while, the Heavenly Maiden of Bliss asked the Peacock Emperor, "Is this golden crow... a transformation?"
Gazing at the rainbow light ahead, the Peacock Emperor gritted his teeth and whispered, "I can feel the pressure of the Demon Emperor clan. This is something only the purest Golden Crow possesses, and it also has bloodline supernatural powers..."
"So he was originally the Golden Crow?"
"...I have never seen such a method of change before."
The goddess of bliss immediately looked distressed and stammered, "What should we do?"
In terms of strength, Jinwu is actually nothing special; he's just a rogue immortal!
The demon king form of the Mahayana Buddha was also a golden crow; considering the Fusang tree, and the future Buddha's attainment...
What is the relationship between Zheng Fa and the Mahayana Buddha? It's terrifying to think about, and one dares not delve into it.
"Capture them alive," the Peacock Emperor said through gritted teeth. "Didn't the Demon Emperor also tell us that it's best to capture them alive?"
The Blissful Goddess nodded, a pained expression on her face, as if she were to hesitate between doing something drastic and doing something wrong: "That's the only way."
...
"Are you a member of the Golden Crow clan?"
Holding Zheng Fa's hand and feeling the speed of the Rainbow Transformation Technique, Ni Chang Yuan Jun couldn't help but have the same question and asked.
"No, this is my Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends."
"..."
Ni Chang Yuan Jun didn't speak, but after looking at the distorted scenery around her, her expression conveyed a kind of "you can take my word for it" kind of consideration.
As an avatar, "Zheng Fa" does not possess the innate divine abilities of his original body, but this does not mean that he cannot use the Rainbow Transformation Technique—this technique is originally a bloodline divine ability of the Golden Crow.
The wonders of the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends, combined with his understanding of the Rainbow Transformation technique, make the Golden Crow one of his strongest transformation forms.
In the future, when the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends are widely adopted, other disciples of the Nine Mountains Sect may also be able to use the Golden Crow Body to perform the Rainbow Transformation technique.
Seeing that he remained silent, Ni Chang Yuan Jun spoke again: "It's my fault for implicating Sect Leader Zheng..."
"No."
"yes……"
"Lu Yao's target should be me."
Ni Chang Yuanjun opened her mouth, then fell silent. That's right, with two Golden Immortals lying in ambush, she didn't seem qualified...
She had mixed feelings, a mixture of humiliation and relief.
"Sect Leader, do you think you can escape?" Ni Chang Yuanjun turned around and asked.
“There’s no way to escape.” Changing direction, “Zheng Fa” shook his head and said, “Although my Rainbow Transformation Technique is strong, they are all Golden Immortals and have some spatial power. I may not be faster than them. Moreover, there is also the Great Vajra Dharma Realm. We are both birds in a cage. As long as they don’t give up, we will be caught sooner or later.”
"this……"
"Do you have a way to escape without being seen by a Golden Immortal?"
“The Aurora Mirror was bestowed by the jellyfish. While it can’t be said to be able to deceive a Golden Immortal, it’s not difficult to hide for a while,” said Ni Chang Yuanjun first, then added, “But if you’re right under their noses, you can’t hide from them.”
That's true. The Golden Immortal's perception is too strong. He can see every move the two make, so that Ni Chang Yuan Jun has no chance to use illusion magic.
Zheng Fa nodded, glanced back, and suddenly said, "That's good."
"What……"
Zheng Fa threw Ni Chang Yuan Jun away and fled in another direction.
"Sect Leader Zheng?"
She was caught off guard at first, but then she found that the two goddesses of bliss paused and completely ignored her, chasing after Zheng Fa together.
She immediately understood; before Zheng Fa asked her the question, she had been thinking of drawing the enemy away.
Ni Chang Yuan Jun glanced in the direction Zheng Fa had left, blinked hard twice, took out a five-colored treasure mirror, and looked at herself.
Instantly, she vanished into thin air.
Wearing the aurora glasses, Ni Chang Yuan Jun did not go anywhere else, but quickly flew towards Jianmu. Now that she had been exposed, she could only leave Yaochi and Xizhou first.
The only way is through building a tree.
Ni Chang Yuanjun had no other thoughts but to cherish the little bit of time that Zheng Fa had bought for her.
She landed at the foot of the Jianmu tree, jumped onto a broad leaf, cast a spell, and flew upwards quickly. Seeing that the two goddesses of bliss had not yet returned, she breathed a sigh of relief, and countless emotions surged into her heart in an instant.
I wonder how Sect Leader Zheng is doing, and whether he'll be able to escape...
He was actually willing to draw the enemy away for me, even though we weren't that close...
Thinking of this, she took another deep look in the direction Zheng Fa had gone, and made a firm decision in her heart: she must find Lord Jellyfish and the others to avenge Zheng Fa!
As she neared the summit of Jianmu, she couldn't help but look back one last time, murmuring, "Sect Leader Zheng, I will definitely come back..."
"That's only if they can come back."
A voice rang in her ear, startling her. She stared wide-eyed and saw Zheng Fa slowly appear beside her.
"Master Zheng... Master Zheng?" Ni Chang Yuanjun was both surprised and delighted, and even stammered, "You're not, you're not..."
“Oh, that’s a clone,” Zheng Fa explained.
"..."
"What were you trying to say to me just now?"
"nothing!"
Ni Chang Yuan Jun raised her head and looked at the top of Jianmu, and suddenly exclaimed, "It's so high!"
Zheng Fa scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "...Is this your first time here too?"
"..."
Seeing Ni Chang Yuan Jun's expression, Zheng Fa decided to keep quiet. The two of them rode the leaves upwards quickly, as if they were in an awkward and silent elevator, both hoping to reach their destination.
Soon we reached the highest point of the Jianmu tree.
Zheng Fa raised his hand and touched the membrane of heaven and earth in front of him, finding it very strange.
"Sect Leader Zheng, I'll take you out..."
"etc."
Zheng Fa waved his hand and looked down at the distant West Continent.
"What are you waiting for..."
Suddenly, a golden light shot into the sky from the ground, and the explosion shook the surrounding area, even causing the Jianmu tree to sway twice.
"This is……"
"Dead."
"Sect Leader Zheng, is this your clone?"
Zheng Fa nodded, waited for several incense sticks to burn, and seeing that the Great Vajra Dharma Realm had not changed at all, he sighed and said, "We can only get out from here."
He didn't know if Lu Yao knew he wasn't dead.
Leiyin Temple was still weak, and Lu Yao was cautious and unwilling to release the Dharma Realm.
It's even possible that Lu Yao just hasn't realized it yet, and if we wait a few more days, he might withdraw the Dharma Realm.
But he couldn't risk waiting any longer.
The two goddesses of paradise will definitely not let Ni Chang Yuan Jun go; they will probably come looking for her right away.
If we wait for them to come back, this road will be dead; we might as well take a gamble.
At worst, I'll just die once, and I'll be a hero again a few hundred years later.
Let's go.
Zheng Fa turned to look at Ni Chang Yuan Jun. This Yuan Jun seemed not to understand what he was waiting for either, and simply stood silently, with a kind of obedient and submissive demeanor.
Ni Chang Yuan Jun cast another spell at Jianmu, and Jianmu began to glow. The light condensed into a black flower that was two people tall around Zheng Fa and the others.
As the flower unfolded petal by petal, Ni Chang Yuan Jun said, "Sect Leader Zheng, please enter this flower."
Zheng Fa understood immediately and stood at the stamen of the flower. Ni Chang Yuan Jun stood beside him, and the black flower rose with the wind, enveloping the two of them as they floated upwards.
Upon contact with the membrane of heaven and earth, a chaotic light flashed on the petals. Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.
"What is Sect Leader Zheng thinking?"
"I'm thinking... this thing is a bit like a carrier protein."
"What?"
Zheng Fa shook his head, not explaining further to Ni Chang Yuan Jun, who was a complete idiot, but instead began to think.
He used to find the concept of the celestial membrane and fetal membrane difficult to understand, but now he suddenly has an idea.
This thing looks a lot like a cell membrane...
Absorbing the spiritual energy generated from chaos and expelling the chaos produced by the mixture of spiritual energy—isn't that metabolism?
As for the black flowers produced by this Jianmu tree, they definitely look like carrier proteins.
While Zheng Fa was deep in thought, the two of them passed through the membrane of heaven and earth without any hindrance and arrived in the chaos.
He looked back and saw that the Great Vajra Dharma Realm on the Western Continent was still shining brightly, but he had already escaped. He couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
"Sect Leader Zheng, this is the Jade Pool Wonderland."
So fast?
Zheng Fa turned his head again and saw that the so-called Jade Pool Wonderland was actually pasted on the outside of the membrane of heaven and earth, but he had not seen it before.
The reason why it cannot be seen is simple: the Jade Pool Wonderland and chaos are the same color.
In the space before him, swirling chaotic currents of energy churned, and everywhere else was darkness, devoid of anything.
Seemingly sensing his confusion, Ni Chang Yuan Jun explained with a bitter expression, "This place was not like this before. When we call it a fairyland, we are not exaggerating."
Zheng Fa believed this.
Just by looking at the Ni Chang Palace, you can tell that Ni Chang Yuan Jun loves beauty very much, or rather, the entire Yaochi should love beauty very much.
The Jade Pool Wonderland of today is probably vastly different from what it used to be.
"Is it impossible to return to Xuanwei from here?"
Zheng Fa asked, still somewhat unwilling to give up.
“No.” Ni Chang Yuanjun shook her head, her expression very frank. “If there were no problems with Yaochi Wonderland, I would have a way, but now I don’t know how to get back.”
She seemed a little afraid that Zheng Fa would abandon his responsibilities, and said, "If we find Lady Jellyfish, she will definitely have a way to send us back, and Yaochi will certainly reward us handsomely!"
It's clear that she really wants Zheng Fa to help her find jellyfish.
Zheng Fa shook his head and looked ahead again: "Then where do we start looking?"
Ni Chang Yuan Jun shook her head again, looking even more embarrassed.
Zheng Fa stared into silence at the Jade Pool Wonderland before him, a place so dark he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face, devoid of any landmarks, and unable to even distinguish up from down from left from right.
Seeing his expression, Ni Chang Yuanjun explained, "I didn't expect this to happen either, so I wasn't prepared and that's why I came to Sect Leader Zheng..."
They trust me way too much.
Zheng Fa frowned, about to say something, when he suddenly felt a slight vibration in his sleeve.
He opened his sleeves, and the Mandarin Duck Mirror flew out, floating in the air. On the mirror's surface was a solitary figure, gazing sadly into the distance.
"This is... Lingxi?"
The Goddess of the Rainbow Robe was greatly surprised and recognized the person in the mirror.
"Yes, the Nine Nether Emperor found her true spirit in the underworld, but unfortunately, only some instincts remained."
Ni Chang Yuanjun glanced sadly at Ling Xi a few times and guessed, "Is she showing us the way?"
Zheng Fa hadn't expected this turn of events and was a bit confused, but he still nodded and said, "It seems so."
The two exchanged a glance and both felt there was no other way but to give it a try.
But Ni Chang Yuanjun took a step forward, then suddenly her expression changed drastically. She returned to the flower, her face grave, and said, "There are spacetime turbulences here... no, there are spacetime turbulences everywhere. If you're not careful, you'll get lost."
Zheng Fa looked up and surveyed the area ahead, and saw that within the chaotic energy, countless substances seemed to be annihilating.
"If only I were skilled in spacetime magic..."
As Ni Chang Yuan Jun was sighing, Zheng Fa beside her seemed to have received an inspiration, and transformed into a huge golden-winged roc.
Ni Chang Yuan Jun remained silent for a while, then turned around, her back to Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa grabbed her with one claw, spread his wings, tore through the surrounding chaos, broke through the spatial turbulence, and flew forward.
When it comes to the changing forms of spatial power, Zheng Fa actually knows quite a bit.
But the most familiar one is still the old friend Golden-Winged Roc, whose wings have innate spatial abilities.
...
Following the guidance of Lingxi Zhenling, the two moved forward. Ni Chang Yuanjun, hanging from Zheng Fa's hand, seemed a little awkward in this position and praised, "I never expected that Sect Leader Zheng's transformation technique would be so wonderful, actually able to simulate the innate supernatural abilities of these divine beasts..."
"It still can't compare to the original."
Zheng Fa honestly replied, not out of modesty, but because he was only performing a simulation analysis, while the other party possessed it innately, so there was a difference.
“That’s already very strong…” Ni Chang Yuanjun said sincerely. “Perhaps there are some differences in individual divine abilities, but Sect Leader Zheng, you can use more than just one or two divine abilities.”
Seeing her expression, Zheng Fa asked, "Envious?"
"What you're saying, Sect Leader Zheng, is truly enviable. Who wouldn't be envious of such great supernatural powers?" Ni Chang Yuanjun laughed heartily, extremely frank. "I dare say, even Lu Yao would probably be green with envy."
"Want to learn?"
"..." As if she hadn't heard Zheng Fa's words clearly, Ni Chang Yuanjun paused for a while before speaking again, "What did you say, Sect Leader Zheng?"
"Tell me, do you want to learn the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends?"
"Of course I want to... but..."
“My disciples from the Nine Mountains Sect can all learn it now.” Zheng Fa paused for a moment, then continued, “Actually, I hope that everyone can learn it in the future.”
"this……"
“If you join the Nine Mountains Sect, you can also learn it. Of course, it’s not that simple. You have to go to school to learn the basics first, then accumulate good deeds, and then you can switch to the Yellow Court Scripture. After cultivating for a period of time, you can learn the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends.”
He said it was not simple, but the more he said it, the more credible it became.
Ni Chang Yuanjun looked up at the front, then turned back to look in Xuanwei's direction, and murmured, "I'm starting to feel a little reluctant to look for Lord Jellyfish..."
