Chapter 497: The Immortal Flower Birth
“Crash!”
Li Weiyi took back the Purple Thunder Seal, entered the sea, and carried the "seriously injured" Zuoqiu Hongting out of the water.
The Purple Sky Thunder Seal was as big as a millstone, with ancient markings on it. Thick thunderclouds hung above his head, and coupled with the solemnity of the governor's official robe, his aura and power were extraordinary.
Dozens of feet away, Ye Cang's pupils were like two blazing fireballs. The heavy sword in his hand was a thousand-character weapon. All the scriptures burst out, covering the blade and his arms, and his blood and magic energy in his body surged.
Three seventh-grade, hundred-character-level mother-and-child swords surrounded him, emitting sharp blades.
Although a large number of veteran masters from the Zuoqiu Sect and the imperial court were still far away, at least ten Dao Heart External Manifestations had already pressed down on Ye Cang.
As long as he dared to swing his knife at Li Weiyi, he would surely end up like Ye Baiyue.
Ye Cang had never felt so aggrieved. He was clearly filled with murderous intent, but he could only restrain himself.
"Today I have learned a lesson from the martial arts skills of you, the martial artists of the Lingxiao Living Realm! This account will definitely have a conclusion."
Seeing that a large number of human masters from Lingxiao Habitat were getting closer and closer, Ye Cang rushed to the bottom of the sea, found Ye Baiyue's remains, and put them into the boundary bag.
Li Weiyi looked at Ye Cang, who was filled with grief and anger. "If you leave the East China Sea immediately, you can still survive. If you continue to associate with Fu Wenyan, your death will not be far away."
Ye Cang stared at him coldly and moved towards Fu Wenyan, Meng Hualong and others.
Tai Shiyu stepped on the runes and rushed over. He stared at Ye Cang's back and sighed, "He actually endured it so well. What a strong restraint. You have to be careful with a person like him. He will definitely keep an eye on you at all times. If you get into trouble or reveal a flaw, he will definitely give you a fatal blow."
Li Weiyi was neither complacent nor arrogant, and valued every Ninth Heaven cultivator. "The five of Zongsheng Xuehai combined could already hunt down the Ninth Heaven's young emperor, posing a significant threat. I wanted to take this opportunity to slash their power in half, but unfortunately, each of them is a formidable force. Reason alone can suppress my emotions."
"I still think Fu Wenyan poses the greatest threat. Once he breaks through, he will be a top-level expert." Tai Shiyu said.
Li Weiyi nodded, looked at Zuoqiu Hongting in his arms, and then looked at the powerful figures in the distant sea who were gathering the energy of the six-clawed fairy dragon.
Martial artists from the nearby islands and reefs continued to gather there.
There have been casualties during the fight.
The demons, humans, rice people, and other major forces are full of conflicts and hatreds, and no one will show mercy.
Li Weiyi brought Zuoqiu Hongting back to the Jiuli tribe's ship.
A moment later, she used her disguise technique to transform into Liu Fengshu and reappeared on the deck with Li Weiyi. They announced that Zuoqiu Hongting was recovering from her injuries on the ship.
In the distant sea, the aura of the six-clawed fairy dragon gradually disappeared and was absorbed by martial artists from all sides.
Li Weiyi had no regrets. The Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi that had escaped wasn't much at the moment. Over the past few months, some had been escaping from the seabed every day.
Cang Li, Li Ling, Yin Jiu, Yin Shiyi and other young martial artists stood on the deck behind the two and did not participate in the fight.
Those who dare to go to that sea area must be at least the seventh level strong.
"The sky is changing."
Zuoqiu Hongting sensed something and raised her eyes to look at the black clouds running across the sky. An inexplicable aura enveloped the entire deep sea.
The water turned inky black.
The waves rolled, as if they were going to swallow up the Fengshi Reef ten miles away.
Er Feng's thoughts reached Li Weiyi's ears: "The Immortal Seeking Pearl is experiencing fluctuations."
"oh!"
The next moment, Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting turned into two streaks of light, flew off the ship, and quickly appeared on the dark red Fengshi Reef.
Fengshi Reef is mainly composed of rocks and is one hundred feet in radius.
A dragon-locking copper pillar hundreds of meters high stands in the center of the island reef, with a diameter of seven or eight meters. No one knows how it was brought here, but it does not seem to be forged in the human world, releasing a terrifying aura.
In this sea area, only nine islands and reefs are safe, and they are engraved with profound array patterns by the Holy Spirit Master Wang Nian.
Other places may collapse at any time, or erupt in danger that is irresistible to Daozhong realm martial artists.
Thirty miles away, a brilliant light appeared in the ocean, alternating between red, blue, and gold. Each shift altered the color of the entire sea.
Red as a sea of fire, blue as a gem, gold as molten iron.
A fresh fragrance was carried to Fengshi Reef by the wind.
Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting only needed to breathe in and out, and both felt as if every part of their body was cleansed.
Dark clouds hang low and waves crash against the sky.
“Wow!”
The legendary Dragon City Mirage appeared on the sea in the distance.
Mirages are illusory.
The outline of Dragon City is like gauze and fog, but it is extremely magnificent and mysterious.
The city walls were as tall as mountains, but badly damaged, crumbling in many places, reduced to ruins. Dragon bones lay scattered across the ground, and a dragon head the size of a hill had smashed a crater in one corner of the city. A river of blood flowed eternally, flowing from nowhere and to nowhere.
It is so real that there is such a place in the world, an ancient city that has been destroyed and abandoned, and the vicissitudes of history are overwhelming.
Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting simultaneously used their Sky-Seeing Eyes to peer through the mirage. Within the illusory Dragon City, they spotted a foot-tall exotic medicinal plant.
It has no leaves, only a bright and shiny flower on top, swaying in the wind.
Three petals, all heart-shaped.
It emits three colors: red, blue and gold.
"Three-colored flowers, heart-shaped, this... this is the immortal flower from mythology."
Zuoqiu Hongting is well-read and her knowledge is comparable to those of old scholars who have devoted their entire lives to studying classics. She was able to recognize the exotic medicine in the mirage of Longcheng.
The fragrance of the immortal flower spread over a hundred miles, and its light illuminated the entire sea. It was not part of a mirage, but a real existence.
"In the era before the immortal dragon veins dried up, living beings needed to cultivate an immortal body before they could join the most elite immortal sects. For martial artists who couldn't cultivate an immortal body, their only chance to change their fate was to find the immortal flower."
"Great! By taking the Immortality Flower, even with my talent as an ordinary chief, I can definitely cultivate an immortal body. After entering the realm of immortality, my talent can be further improved and I can be on par with the top chiefs."
"Even in ancient sects like Daogong and Du'e Temple, the immortal body only appears once every few decades, and usually only true disciples can achieve it."
"Excavating the ancient immortal dragon skeleton indeed brings a heaven-defying opportunity."
…
Some martial artists, monsters, and elders among the rice men also recognized the immortal flower.
Their eyes were all frighteningly red as they ran into the Dragon City Mirage at the fastest speed.
"My lifespan is drawing to a close. Only by swallowing the Immortality Flower and cultivating an Immortal Body can I leverage this momentum to break free from the Immortality Chain and enter the Immortality Realm. Whoever challenges me today, I will fight to the death."
An old man, skinny as a stick, rushed out from the bottom of the water. His hair had all fallen out, and he looked like he had crawled out of a coffin. Lightning flashed on his body, and he was moving extremely fast.
He is the eldest elder among the ten elders of Lei Xiao Sect. Like Zhu Qishierchongtian, he is already one hundred and forty years old.
His physical body had been cultivated to the strength of an 80th-level immortal body. After that, no matter how much time he spent, he could not make any further progress.
"You want to break through the realm of immortality and extend your lifespan for another sixty years. As for me, I am a top leader. If I cultivate an immortal body and enter the realm of immortality, I can compete with those young emperors of the past and never have to bow down again."
Meng Hualong, the strongest man in Zongshengxuehai, was determined to get the immortal flower. He used the fourth level of the magic "Dragon Capturing Hand" to shock the chief elder of Leixiao Sect away.
A claw dragon pit several feet in size appeared on the foggy ground of Mirage Dragon City.
Princess Dengfeng's true form appeared, a white jellyfish cloud several dozen feet in size, as beautiful as a veil and a shimmering light. Arrays and runes enveloped her as she flew over Meng Hualong's head, rapidly approaching the Immortal Flower.
The turtle scholar followed closely on the ground, helping her clear out the pursuers.
Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting used the magic talisman to hurry on their way, and after escaping into the mirage Dragon City through a gap in the city wall, they discovered that although the Dragon City was an illusory state like light and mist, it had a real sense of obstruction.
All buildings will ripple when touched, resisting the penetration of fingers.
Li Weiyi was shocked. The mirage before him must have been projected from somewhere. The huge dragon bones on the ground, though only a blur of light and shadow, gave people a real sense of intimidation, making their souls tremble.
"boom!"
“Boom!”
…
Princess Dengfeng, Zhu Qishierchongtian, Turtle Scholar, Tang Zhan, Meng Hualong, Fu Wenyan, Ye Cang, the Grand Elder of Leixiao Sect... more than ten top masters were fighting in the Mirage Dragon City.
Anyone who dares to approach the immortal flower will be attacked by everyone else.
In such a terrifying battlefield, ordinary ninth-level martial artists and nine-star spiritual masters would be at great risk of falling if they were to get involved.
Princess Dengfeng controlled a flying sword and the governor's seal she had seized from Fu Wenyan, suppressing all the powerful ones. Every time she used her magic weapon, she could knock two or three people away.
"The ancient immortal dragon skeleton has not been dug out yet, and there must be more than one immortal flower, and more will appear. Let's join forces. You help me today, and when I break through the ninth level and cultivate an immortal body, I will definitely help each of you pick an immortal flower. I swear in the name of the patriarch!" said Fu Wenyan.
In Zongshengxuehai, four great masters including Fu Wenyan gathered together. They each used their strongest magic weapon and advanced with unstoppable force, successively injuring Turtle Scholar, Tang Zhan, the Great Elder of Leixiao Sect and others.
Even Zhu Qi-2nd Heaven couldn't stop the four from joining forces.
“Wow!”
Princess Dengfeng's human figure was projected out from the jellyfish cloud and landed next to the immortal flower.
Even she showed excitement in her eyes, and reached out to pick it with a trembling hand.
“Boom!”
A huge black dragon tore through the ground of Mirage Dragon City and broke out from the seabed.
Its head was as big as a house, its scales were like black iron the size of a palm-leaf fan, its eyes emitted light as bright as the sun and the moon, and its aura was extremely powerful.
Large areas of the mirage collapsed and turned into light mist.
The human clones of Changshenghua and Princess Dengfeng were knocked into the sky by the black dragon's head.
“Ouch!”
The black dragon let out a dragon-like roar and spit out a stream of water, repelling the four people from Zongsheng Xuehai.
The huge dragon's body shrank and condensed into a human form.
It was Prince Mingjiao who arrived.
He stood eight feet tall, had a pair of dragon ears, and wore black armor. His body was shrouded in a dark mist, his long hair flowing freely, and he exuded an unparalleled dominance. With a bang, he clenched his five fingers and blasted the human form of Princess Dengfeng to pieces.
Then, he reached out and took the immortal flower.
In mid-air, Princess Dengfeng's true form let out a delicate cry, controlling the flying sword and the governor's seal, releasing a large amount of scriptures, and suppressing Prince Mingjiao.
To her, anyone can take the flower of immortality except Prince Mingjiao.
Prince Mingjiao didn't even turn around. He activated the black armor on his body, and more than 7,000 dragon-shaped scriptures burst out, like thousands of dragons running, resisting the flying sword and the governor's seal behind him.
He stretched out his five fingers, with his fingertips less than a foot away from the immortal flower, and was about to succeed.
"Stop fighting! The Immortal Flower is the one that this true disciple must obtain. Whoever fights will die."
The moment Sheng Wulian's voice rang out, his body appeared opposite Prince Mingjiao, as if appearing out of thin air. The white light that erupted from him collided with the dark mist surrounding Prince Mingjiao.
A mile away, Li Weiyi saw that it was too late and had to take out the Thousand Characters giant bow.
