Sure enough, the Goddess of Red Paper discovered a super-hidden formation around the Heavenly Dao Stele.
"You really can't tell this little thing unless you look closely." Her curiosity was tinged with a subtle complexity.
Qingluan, being rather dim-witted, exclaimed, "Isn't this Long Mofei's magical aura?"
Amidst a host of rumors, Long Mofei was once to be the next Daoist partner of the Goddess Hongjian.
As for his tragic previous Daoist partner, it was none other than Yu Jing, who was trapped in the mortal world and unable to ascend to immortality...
Hongjian took out a greedy little red fish, its golden tail filled with the satisfaction of having eaten and drunk its fill.
The Bodhi Tree opened its mouth wide, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
"So, this is the real reason why Yu Jing failed to transcend his tribulation last time?"
The divine blessings bestowed upon the Canglan Continent by the Heavenly Dao Stele have all been stolen and consumed by this little fellow. Without the descent of divine blessings, no matter how high one's cultivation level, one cannot hope to successfully ascend.
The Bodhi Tree withdrew its mocking gaze from the Goddess of Red Paper and, in a moment of silence, frankly stated, "According to Qingluan, no one on the Canglan Continent has successfully ascended for tens of thousands of years, yet that fellow Yujing has only roamed the mortal realm for a mere thousand years..."
"What a mess of interpersonal relationships. I've only been on duty at the Heavenly Dao Stele since I came of age, for a little over five hundred years. I haven't experienced those complicated stories from before."
The goddess of red paper remained silent, her fingers deftly weaving the red threads of fate around the little red fish, with strands of gold thread spilling out from the other end of its golden tail.
"This stuff is so delicious to eat, but it's so hard to spit it out now!"
Qingluan complained, but was met with a sharp glare from the Bodhi Tree, and immediately lowered her head and fell silent.
She looked up again, and Hongjian's expression was somewhat grave.
If it's really as rumored, and Long Mofei could very well become Hongjian's Daoist partner... then Yu Jing's inability to ascend while wandering the cultivation world is very likely due to his machinations!
There was a moment of silence.
None of the three spoke.
Until—the golden thread in Hongjian's hand gathered into a ball, and the little red fish could no longer spit out golden bubbles. She put away the little red fish, walked to the Heavenly Dao Stele, and looked back at Qingluan.
"I'll help you!" It's just a matter of summoning divine grace! I'm very good at that!
The Azure Phoenix communicated smoothly with the Heavenly Dao Stele, quickly triggering the tribulations of immortal cultivators ascending to immortality on the Canglan Continent.
She didn't forget to wink, "I'll send more heavenly lightning and divine blessings down near that Luohan Temple, so the chances of Yujing ascending will be greater!"
"Who cares about him, hmph." Hongjian turned her head away, no longer watching how Qingluan operated.
This time, it was Qingluan's turn to be confused. As a divine bird, she had a small brain and couldn't think about such complex emotional issues. She could only scratch her head and ask the Bodhi Tree for help.
That old bald tree is actually eating!
hateful!
Under the bright sunlight, a deafening bolt of lightning struck down.
It moved with lightning speed, and countless small lightning bolts followed in the instant the lightning accumulated.
Zhu Yi sighed inwardly, "I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it anymore!"
However, the next second, the heavenly lightning seemed to have sent a message and headed straight for Master Yujing!
Compared to this heavenly lightning that seemed to be settling some score with the Imperial Mirror Master, the divine punishment lightning that Zhu Yi was currently facing was much better.
A raging torrent dances in the netherworld, carrying immense destructive power!
The mere sight of the golden light and purple lightning filled Zhu Yi with awe, causing her to suddenly emerge from the lotus flower. The blooming lotus flower, impacted by the powerful divine light, instantly returned to her dantian to protect itself.
The lamp beside her offered protection, and its gentle, moonlit light brought her considerable peace of mind.
Perhaps it was the overwhelming force of the heavenly lightning chasing after the Imperial Mirror, or perhaps it was Qingluan secretly holding back, but a strange voice suddenly popped into Zhu Yi's head, complaining: "The 'All Things Grow'!"
Just three words, flashing by, carrying a hint of exasperation and frustration.
Zhu Yi seized the spiritual light amidst the immense lightning.
Qing Shang was scorched and battered by the soaring heavenly lightning. He stared in astonishment as Yu Jingsheng bravely used his physical body to withstand such a massive tribulation.
"So, throughout your entire life, you never knew that you were just a shadow!"
As the purple-gold light flickered and thick thunderclouds surrounded Yu Jing Zhenren, he spoke these words to Qing Shang, word by word.
As the seven bolts of heavenly lightning descended, Master Yujing still had the energy to wave his sleeve and send out a tiny golden lightning bolt that struck Qing Shang's smooth forehead!
"I'm really stunned. Is Master really this fierce?" Zhu Yi felt refreshed and invigorated.
Su Linyuan said, "Look, it's Shenze."
After the golden divine grace was bestowed upon the ravaged land, the demonic influence dissipated, and the small animals that had been unfortunately caught in the battle also regained some of their energy.
The previously menacing demonic soldiers and monsters scattered and fled. The golden light was too intense, burning their fur. Moreover, this pure divine light of the righteous path is naturally the nemesis of evil!
In the Demon Realm, Sect Leader Han Song noticed that the puppets around him were moving much slower, and some were even standing still, silently losing their teeth.
He wasn't in good shape either, covered in bruises and welts.
"Junior sister, look! It's Shenze?" No wonder he was a little confused. In the cultivation world, no one had successfully ascended to immortality in ten thousand years, and no one had ever seen what the real Shenze looked like.
The divine radiance from Mount Momo last time was also somewhat powerful, but it wasn't as potent as this one!
Yu Xiang nodded, "Moreover, the surrounding battle puppets are also affected; the demonic resentment on their bodies is dissipating!"
Zhu Yi directed four towering ancient trees to use divine blessings to repair the broken mountains and rivers.
He sighed contentedly, "Master truly lives up to his reputation! The divine blessings he bestowed upon you during your ascension are truly abundant!"
"I miss Grandpa Peach Tree a little."
Looking into the distance, she saw that the Mirror Immortal had now undergone the forty-ninth Heavenly Thunder Baptism.
High above, the Mirror Master barely managed to create a protective shield.
There was nothing special about it; he simply hadn't expected to ascend under such circumstances, and his clothes were starting to wear out...
Lost memories surged back, and he looked at Qing Shang, who had turned to ashes, with a complex mix of emotions.
He and Qing Shang were practically cultivators of the same era, one in the immortal sect and the other in the demon realm.
One wreaks havoc everywhere, the other heals the wounded and saves lives; they always seem to end up fighting, anywhere and anytime.
They have been competing and fighting for nearly a thousand years, with each side winning half the time.
But no one knows when it started, Qing Shang fell in love with a witch.
Demons born of nature have extreme temperaments: either extremely benevolent, with shallow cultivation and unable to advance, or extremely evil, with exceptionally strong talent.
In the demon realm, extremely kind and beautiful witches are easily bullied.
After the death of the pure and beautiful witch Fang, Qing Shang tried everything he could to revive her.
