Chapter 24 Saving Shiji
If Zhang Kui, who had only reached the peak of True Immortal cultivation before, was now accompanied by Li Qing, it would probably take at least two days to get from Chentang Pass to the Jinguan Cave in Qianyuan Mountain.
But now Zhang Kui had already directly surpassed the Golden Immortal and reached the realm of Daluo. His strength had naturally increased by more than ten times. Therefore, even with Li Qing, he was still incredibly fast. In just an hour, he suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty! We're here!"
After saying that, Li Qing felt a flash in front of his eyes, and at the same time, it was as if he had broken through a thin barrier and emerged from the ground.
"Chirp, quack, quack~."
In front of me is a beautiful place with mountains and rivers, and my ears are filled with the chirping of various spiritual birds.
"Is this Qianyuan Mountain?"
Li Qing shook his sleeves slightly, looked around, and asked at the same time.
Suddenly, a yellow light emerged from the ground and transformed into Zhang Kui. Zhang Kui nodded and said, "Your Majesty, this is Qianyuan Mountain. Qianyuan Mountain covers an area of 360 miles. The Golden Light Cave of Taiyi Zhenren is on the mountain 80 miles ahead."
"Well, take me there."
Li Qing had never been to Qianyuan Mountain, but with Zhang Kui as a living map, he was naturally not worried about not being able to find Taiyi Zhenren's lair, so he nodded and said.
Although Zhang Kui didn't know why Li Qing came here, since the king had given the order, he had no choice but to obey. He nodded quickly and took off into the air.
Li Qing silently activated the Human Emperor's Tyrannical Art. He had now reached the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm and was almost a True Immortal, so flying in the air was naturally not a problem for him.
His body slowly rose into the air, swaying a little for a moment, but Li Qing's expression was full of excitement!
He flew! He truly, truly, without any external help, flew!
This feeling is very mysterious.
After Li Qing closed his eyes and sensed for a while, he laughed out loud and shouted with great dominance: "Let's go!"
Zhang Kui was a little surprised for a moment.
He didn't know why the Human Emperor could practice cultivation. After all, the Human Emperors of all generations were not allowed to practice cultivation. Although he had purple energy protecting his body and was immune to all evil, even the Hunyuan Golden Immortal and the Quasi-Saint could not hurt the Human Emperor. However, his lifespan was ultimately the same as that of ordinary people, and he would die after a hundred years.
But the King Zhou in front of him could actually practice and even soar. What does this mean?
Suddenly, Zhang Kui's eyes lit up. This! The appearance of a Holy Emperor!
This means that in addition to Fuxi, Shennong, and Huangdi, the fourth Holy Emperor has appeared!
He can practice cultivation, he can unify the world for ten thousand years, he can make the Three Realms and Six Paths, including the Emperor of Heaven obey his orders, he is the Holy Emperor!
Zhang Kui's face was flushed red at this moment, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words.
"Hmm? Zhang Kui, what are you thinking about?"
Li Qing put his hands behind his back and flew forward. His body became more and more stable. Finally, he mastered the technique and became completely proficient. But when he turned around, he found Zhang Kui still in a daze in the air half a mile away. He immediately frowned and asked.
"No, nothing!"
Zhang Kui shuddered upon hearing this, and quickly came to his senses and shouted loudly. Then he moved and chased after him. When he reached Li Qing's side, he said more respectfully, "Your Majesty, please follow me!"
After saying that, he took the lead and flew towards the Golden Light Cave.
Although Zhang Kui had never been to the Jinguan Cave in Qianyuan Mountain, the name of Taiyi Zhenren was known throughout the three realms and six paths, so the location of the cave was naturally well known to everyone. However, the Human Emperor only cared about the human world and did not care about the outside world, so he did not know it.
So with Zhang Kui leading the way, they arrived in a blink of an eye, covering a distance of dozens of miles.
"Evil creature, in just a moment or two, I will completely refine your primordial spirit, and end this calamity of mine!"
Li Qing had just arrived at the Golden Light Cave and had not yet seen the scene in front of him when he heard a cold snort.
Upon hearing this, Li Qing was shocked. He quickly moved his body and rushed forward. He immediately saw the scene that made him furious.
In front of him, there was an old Taoist priest wearing a sky-blue Taoist robe, with a thin figure and three long beards, who was silently chanting a spell. A hundred meters in front of the old Taoist priest, there was a green glazed cover several feet high.
There was a raging flame burning inside the cover, nine fire dragons were roaring inside, and a graceful figure was twisting and struggling inside.
Name: Taiyi Zhenren.
Identity: Second generation disciple of Jiejiao.
Strength: Daluo Jinxian.
Magical Weapons: Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, Myriad Spiritual Dates, Divine Spirit Liquid, Yin-Yang Sword, Hunyuan Treasure File...
Gongfa: Expounding the teachings of the religion.
Luck: 10
Immortal level evaluation: Superior
At first glance, that old Taoist is none other than Taiyi Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Xianjiao Sect.
Then it is obvious that the cover is the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover!
And the figure inside the hood must be Shiji!
Although Taiyi Zhenren was activating the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover to refine Shiji, the arrival of Li Qing and Zhang Kui naturally caught his attention. Taiyi Zhenren turned his head abruptly. Although he had a kind smile on his face, the murderous intent in his eyes was extremely obvious. He simply said, "Who are you two fellow Taoists? What brings you here?"
Li Qing wasted no time in talking to him. He pointed at the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and shouted, "Zhang Kui! Break this cover quickly! Save the woman inside!"
"promise!"
When Zhang Kui heard this, he shouted loudly, raised his hand, and grasped the偃月斩星刀, and slashed towards the九龙神火罩!
"How dare you! You're a fellow evildoer!"
Taiyi Zhenren was suddenly shocked. He cursed loudly and waved his hand. The double-edged sword shot out instantly and slashed towards Zhang Kui.
Zhang Kui had just entered the Daluo realm not long ago, and was brought up by Li Qing with a few Human Emperor attribute points. However, Taiyi Zhenren had truly achieved the Daluo Golden Immortal through his own cultivation. Therefore, in this fight, the difference in strength was immediately apparent, and Zhang Kui was instantly at a disadvantage.
But Zhang Kui was a man who had achieved enlightenment in the human world, was born a military general, and had sanctified his body, so he fought extremely fiercely. Even when he was at a disadvantage, Taiyi was in a panic and could not win at all.
But in the end Zhang Kui was stopped.
The flames inside the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover were still burning fiercely. The graceful figure inside was no longer struggling, but just lying there and letting the flames burn her.
Seeing this, Li Qing became anxious and took a step forward without saying a word!
Emperor Xin was born with supernatural powers, and at this moment he was practicing the Human Emperor's Tyrannical Art, so his body was already terrifyingly strong. With one step, the ground shook slightly when he stepped on it, and he rushed to the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover like an arrow.
"Give it to me! Open it!"
With the help of the impact force, Li Qing did not hesitate. He roared like a thunder, clenched his iron fist, and activated the Human Emperor's Tyrannical Art with all his strength. Lightning flashed on his right fist, and he punched towards the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover!
"Bang!"
A deafening explosion erupted instantly, and a wave of air swept across the surroundings. The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover suddenly soared into the air, but was knocked away by Li Qing's punch!
Without the protection of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, the flames instantly dissipated, and on the charred ground was revealed the body of Shiji, which was almost petrified, but still in human form, yet naked!
