Chapter 648 The Celestial God, the Deepest Secret
As Zheng Fa finished speaking, the darkness around him suddenly brightened, as if hundreds or thousands of searchlights had been turned on, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes, and the Moon Fairy was completely awakened.
A dazzling starry sky enveloped Zheng Fa and the three of them, and the starlight fell to the side, making the human face on the peach tree look even more ferocious.
Within each star stands a figure, dressed in brocade robes and a purple skirt. The sun and moon, shining brightest in the center, seem to be ruling over the stars.
"Zhou Tian Xing Shen?"
Looking at this extraordinary sight, the three Fairies of the Moon exchanged glances, their hearts filled with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation.
The unease stemmed from the fact that Zheng Fa's aura indicated he had not yet fully transformed into a true immortal.
Their anticipation stemmed from the fact that Zheng Fa's supernatural abilities seemed quite extraordinary, giving them a sense of unattainability.
The Inner Realm * Zhou Tian Star God, to put it simply, is to transform one's physical body into a star god and set up a grand array of stars in the heavens.
This cannot actually be accomplished in an instant, but Zheng Fa possesses the body of the Heavenly Emperor:
After being taught by the jellyfish, the Heavenly Emperor spent over ten years finally comprehending this supernatural power, which was then copied and pasted over by Zheng Fa with a single click.
He glanced at the three women, including the Moon Fairy. They were not yet completely out of danger—the eerie tree branches were already level with the tops of their heads and were about to climb up their cheeks.
With a wave of his hand, Zheng Fa caused the space around the three to suddenly warp, forming a small wormhole. The three figures immediately disappeared from their original positions and reappeared standing beside him.
The jellyfish was silent for a moment, as if stunned, before letting out an uncontrollable roar.
The three Fairies of Taiyin stood beside Zheng Fa. Ni Chang Yuanjun was still a little dizzy, staring blankly at Zheng Fa, and asked incredulously, "Spatial teleportation?"
Zheng Fa smiled and nodded. After condensing the Zhou Tian Star God, he had the freedom to move freely within this broken formation.
This cage can no longer hold him; on the contrary, he is now like a jailer, able to enter and leave at will.
Ni Chang Yuan Jun and the others were both surprised and delighted. In this way, they could get out, but the jellyfish could not, and their lives were no longer in danger.
As if hearing his words, the evil jellyfish roared with even more hatred, and the resentment burrowed into the minds of the three fairies of the moon, causing a great shock to their minds.
"Shall we go first?"
Qingnu frowned and asked.
Zheng Fa shook his head slightly: "If we want to go back, we still need to deal with this evil god."
The Moon Fairy looked at Zheng Fa with a puzzled expression upon hearing this.
"Most of the power of this remnant formation has been used to imprison this evil god, and it is powerless to send us back."
This evil jellyfish is, after all, a half-step Great Luo existence, and it is not easy for a fragmented Zhou Tian Star Array to trap her.
The Moon Fairy gazed at the towering peach tree that seemed to pierce the endless darkness and murmured, "How do we kill her?"
The Green Maiden and the Rainbow Maiden, standing to the side, also wore bitter expressions.
Judging from what we just saw, the three of them were completely overwhelmed by this evil jellyfish and had no power to resist.
The evil jellyfish had exceptional hearing and heard these words. It laughed in an almost manic voice, "Kill me? With all of you? The three of you couldn't even withstand one move from me, and he's just a rogue immortal!"
These words left the Fairy of the Moon and the others speechless.
No matter how powerful Zheng Fa's supernatural abilities are, they shouldn't be able to deal with a half-step Grand Luo Golden Immortal like the Evil Jellyfish...
Zheng Fa remained expressionless. Suddenly, a bronze platform appeared beneath his feet. He reached out, grasped the Star Banner, and shook it violently.
The thirty-six star gods behind him leaped into the original thirty-six stars and merged with them.
Zheng Fa pointed the Star Banner at the Goddess of Divine Blessing and the Peach Tree, and coldly shouted, "Go!"
Thirty-six stars, like thirty-six generals, along with Zheng Fa's other star gods, surrounded the goddess and her companion, forming two rotating nebulae, one above and one below.
The two nebulae, one above the other, rotated relative to each other like millstones, crushing down on the two goddesses who were trying to ward off the year.
The first to suffer was the evil jellyfish, after all, the sky was falling and she was too tall.
A series of cracking sounds came from above everyone's heads as peach branches fell like a waterfall. Despair and panic were written on the faces of those who had been so ruthless.
The evil jellyfish and the goddess of year-end reaping were in a difficult situation and could not escape. They could only watch as the two nebulae drew closer and closer until they collided with a deafening crash.
Everything disappeared.
The enormous peach tree and the goddess who brought good fortune had both vanished without a trace.
The three women, including the Moon Fairy, remained silent for a long time before a loud, swallowing sound was heard.
Qingnu looked at Zheng Fa with a hint of awe in her eyes that she herself had not noticed. Then she whispered to Taiyin Fairy, "We were a little disrespectful to Sect Leader Zheng before. Will he hold a grudge?"
The Moon Fairy was also a little numb. What was that thing? It smashed a half-step Great Luo to death and took away a Golden Immortal along with it!
Throughout history, I've never seen such a powerful wandering immortal; it's simply unbelievable.
Zheng Fa put away the Star Banner and let out a long breath. The move he had just made was also something that the Jellyfish had comprehended from the Zhou Tian Star Array—it was called the Nebula Millstone.
If he were to rely solely on himself, he certainly wouldn't have the strength to kill the two evil jellyfish; in fact, he would be far from capable.
The Nebula Millstone's immense power, to put it bluntly, still relies on this remnant formation—this surviving Zhou Tian Star Formation is extraordinary; it can trap the Evil Jellyfish simply by instinct.
Zheng Fa condensed the celestial gods, which actually only had two functions:
One is to give this remnant of the army a new owner.
Another, and perhaps more important, point is that he restored the integrity of this remnant formation.
Although his star gods were merely illusions, far less powerful than the original Zhou Tian stars, the difference in strength between a complete formation and an incomplete one was still significant.
These two reasons made this remnant formation much stronger than before, which is why it was able to achieve victory in one strike.
Seeing the slightly uneasy look on the Moon Fairy's face, Zheng Fagang was about to speak when he suddenly turned his head and looked into the depths of darkness.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing his gentle expression, Qingnu was somewhat relieved of her worries and asked directly.
"He's not dead..."
Qing Nu's eyes widened suddenly, and she saw a peach tree taking root and sprouting in the darkness. In an instant, it grew into a towering giant tree with countless branches growing from its trunk, swaying arrogantly at Zheng Fa and his companions.
It seems that the nebula millstone from before did not cause it any harm at all.
"I told you, you're not qualified to kill me!" Amidst the swaying branches, the evil jellyfish's cold laughter echoed from the darkness. "I am... the Great Luo!"
...
Within the Nine Mountains Realm, everyone couldn't help but look at the jellyfish—what exactly did you leave behind?
The jellyfish was also stunned, seemingly not expecting this turn of events.
After a while, she suddenly let out a long breath and murmured, "The Ren Water Peach Tree may have truly acquired some of the essence of the Great Luo."
The Nine Nether Emperor's expression changed slightly, as if he had understood something, and he said, "The immortal origin that is indestructible through countless eons?"
“Hmm…” The jellyfish’s expression was also very unpleasant. “The Ren Water Peach Tree corresponds to the dual elements of water and wood, and its vitality is vigorous. When I advanced in the previous stage, my main body was the first to improve.”
"I just didn't expect that this evil god could go further and even break through the Golden Immortal limit to a certain extent, and have a bit of immortal origin."
"I thought that a seed of True Immortal level could deal with her... but I didn't expect that she would also improve."
You didn't expect that you might have put Zheng Fa in a difficult position...
Everyone understood what she meant.
The Ren Water Peach is inherently extremely resilient, and it is among the top-tier spiritual roots.
Previously, the jellyfish was already a top-tier Golden Immortal, and later it went even further, so it must have already touched the threshold of the Great Luo realm.
Although this evil jellyfish is insane, somehow its strength has actually improved again.
The Heavenly Emperor looked solemnly at Senior Sister Zhang and said, "Senior Sister, according to your previous calculations, even with the remnants of the Zhou Tian Star Array and the Zhou Tian Star God, your true form can only exert the strength of a Golden Immortal at most."
"Da Luo... is on another level."
Uncle Pang and the others exchanged glances, finally understanding: "You mean, it's very difficult for Zheng Fa to kill the Evil Jellyfish?"
"Unlikely."
After thinking for a long time, Emperor Jiuyou finally shook his head and said, "The Goddess of the Year-Breaking Ritual and the Evil Water Mother are fundamentally different. Strength is one aspect, but the Immortal Origin... can almost make that evil god immortal."
Uncle Pang's eyes widened: "Does that mean Zheng Fa won't be able to come back?"
The jellyfish deduced, "If his cultivation level reaches the Golden Immortal realm, and he takes control of this remnant Zhou Tian Star Array, there might be some hope."
"A Golden Immortal? When will that be possible? It would be better to just let him die once and come back immediately."
The jellyfish was anxious. Zheng Faneng could come back from the dead, but the three Taiyin women could not.
"You don't want the Zhou Tian Star Array anymore?"
"How could Zheng Fa possibly advance to the Golden Immortal realm in such a short time?"
The jellyfish looked at the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor suddenly realized: "You mean, you want me to use divine methods to become a Golden Immortal and boost my physical cultivation?"
A hint of pride appeared on the jellyfish's face: "Although the Divine Path has its flaws, it is well known to be the fastest way to cultivate. It may be difficult for others to advance to the Golden Immortal realm, but with the power of the Nine Mountains Sect and my help, you can advance faster than anyone else using the Divine Path!"
The people in the hall looked at each other, thought for a moment, and seemed to have no better solution.
Jellyfish wasn't being arrogant. When it comes to divine arts, she was almost a Great Luo Immortal. Helping the Heavenly Emperor attain the Golden Immortal realm wouldn't have been difficult for her.
The jellyfish continued, “The most important aspects of the Divine Path are the Divine Path system and the people. The more believers there are, the more rigorous the Divine Path system becomes, and the faster you will progress… The Nine Mountains Sect’s current strength is sufficient to support your attainment of the Dao.”
The Heavenly Emperor frowned slightly. He hadn't actually cultivated the divine arts much—aside from having followers in the Nine Mountains Realm, he didn't have a single temple in the Mysterious Realm.
The jellyfish's meaning was clear: she wanted him to go to the Xuanwei Realm to spread his faith and improve his cultivation.
Emperor Jiuyou nodded slowly: "Perfect timing, it's time to establish the Divine Dao Oversight Bureau."
Everyone nodded in agreement. The Divine Path Oversight Council had been in the works for some time, and now that the Heavenly Emperor was going to cultivate the Divine Path, the Oversight Council was naturally even more important.
“Northern Continent…” Senior Sister Zhang suddenly spoke.
"What?"
"To develop followers, besides our Nine Mountains Sect, there's also the Northern Continent." A cold glint flashed in Senior Sister Zhang's eyes. "Occupy the Northern Continent and seize its faith."
Her ideas have always been radical, and everyone is used to it. Considering her relationship with Zheng Fa, everyone can understand it even better.
The jellyfish nodded slowly: "That's certainly possible."
Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, Senior Sister Zhang spoke directly:
"What Senior Jellyfish just said was only a possibility. I don't want a possibility. I want to make sure my junior brother comes back as soon as possible without any mistakes."
"..."
"What if the Golden Immortal's strength isn't enough to kill that Evil Jellyfish? What if Lu Yao or even the Thunder Sound Buddha have backup plans?" Senior Sister Zhang said, sharing her thoughts. "Then the more believers there are, the stronger Junior Brother will be, and naturally, he'll have a better chance of success."
What she said didn't sound impulsive at all; on the contrary, it made a lot of sense.
“That’s true, the more the better…” Uncle Pang nodded slowly, showing his agreement.
"In addition, I want to refine stars." Senior Sister Zhang suddenly brought up another idea.
"Stars? You want to complete the Zhou Tian Star Array?" Jellyfish's eyes widened, and she immediately understood Senior Sister Zhang's idea.
“Jellyfish, you said before that if there were 108 stars, this formation could unleash the power of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal,” Senior Sister Zhang nodded. “Since 36 stars aren’t enough, I’ll refine another 72! To complete the Small Heavenly Circuit!”
"..."
Looking at Senior Sister Zhang's resolute face, Jellyfish opened her mouth, seemingly also frightened.
"Leaving aside how to send it over, just refining a single star requires astronomical amounts of resources."
"Therefore, in addition to the Heaven and Earth Bank, I also need the resources of the Northern Continent."
Senior Sister Zhang seemed to have anticipated this, and her words immediately silenced the hall.
After a long silence, Uncle Pang secretly transmitted his voice to Uncle Huang: "Your disciple's personality is exactly like yours. For Zheng Fa alone, she is capable of turning the entire Xuanwei upside down."
Uncle Huang glared at him, then looked at Senior Sister Zhang with a sigh in his eyes.
This is indeed no small matter. There are at least four Golden Immortals behind Beizhou. Once the war starts, it will be too late to recover.
They could all see that Senior Sister Zhang's sole purpose was to bring Zheng Fa back.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Senior Sister Zhang gently bit her lower lip and said, "Please, esteemed elders, make a decision."
The crowd looked at each other in silence for a long while before Emperor Jiuyou finally spoke: "I agree. Even without mentioning Zheng Fa, conquering the Northern Continent was already part of the established strategy. It will be too late once Lu Yao has restored the Pure Land."
Uncle Pang nodded and said, "I agree."
"agree."
"..."
Senior Sister Zhang's proposal was quickly approved by the Supreme Elder Council with ten votes in favor and one vote, which was the Heavenly Emperor abstaining on behalf of Zheng Fa.
Stepping outside the hall, Senior Sister Zhang raised her head and looked at the chaos beyond the Xuanwei Realm, as if searching for something.
"Senior sister."
The Heavenly Emperor suddenly appeared.
"What?"
"Have you figured out how to launch the star?"
Senior Sister Zhang also frowned, slowly shook her head, and had no clue either.
"There's a place I'd like you to visit. The people there might be of help to you."
Senior Sister Zhang was taken aback, looked at the Heavenly Emperor, and understood something in her eyes.
"That was his deepest secret."
