Chapter 387 Fighting
After Xi Tong entered the volcano, Ji Rong guarded it outside for another fifteen days.
Ji Rong was truly relieved when she saw that Xi Tong ate all the spiritual food that Niu Fen brought up each time, and occasionally she could hear Xi Tong complaining that there wasn't enough spiritual water and meat and asking Niu Fen to bring more.
Xi Tong didn't go any further.
Niu Fen also said that his black bird master seemed to be getting better every day, so Ji Rong asked Qing Guanzi to carry her to Qi Yan Fu Di.
——————
The Blessed Land of Qiyan is located in Hezhou. It is a mountain range composed of fifteen large peaks. Below the Qiyan Mountain Range is a spiritual vein that runs through the entire Blessed Land of Qiyan. This spiritual vein is born from the Yan River and meanders around the fifteen peaks.
The Qiyan Mountains are different from other places; this mountain range is composed of various colors of red rocks.
There is little tall vegetation here, only fire-attribute spiritual herbs covering the mountains and plains, and a few kinds of spiritual trees that cannot be burned by fire growing sparsely among the red rocks.
Even the spiritual herbs in the Flaming River are different from those elsewhere. The aquatic plants here are all slightly reddish, and they often contain a trace of fiery energy, making them highly sought after by cultivators like Shan Zhongfeng who love to refine strange pills.
As they approached the Blessed Land of Qi Yan, Qing Guanzi unleashed a tremendous aura, lowered his neck, and roared several times in that direction. The roar was so loud that Ji Rong, who was sitting on his back, couldn't help but tighten her grip on her feet and shrink her neck.
But Qing Guanzi noticed this subtle detail about Ji Rong. He stretched his neck over and asked in surprise, "Junior sister, I've never seen you so nervous when I used to yell at you."
How could Ji Rong let him become suspicious? She immediately stretched her neck and exclaimed, "Senior brother, your cultivation is already higher than mine. I was caught off guard and I was startled by you."
Qingguanzi laughed heartily upon hearing this and flew down.
He placed Ji Rong at the mountain gate, then climbed into the air and roared at the Qi Yan Mountain Range, "Si Nu, your grandpa Guan is here! Why don't you come out and ask for a beating!"
Outside the mountain gate, when Si Nu heard the roar of the dragon, she came out of the mountain to wait quietly.
Seeing that the bird had been released from the Qingguanzi, she immediately circled up in the sky and started cursing.
He immediately transformed into a dragon, unleashing his power, and roared as he went to greet him: "Great Sage Guanshan, I kindly invited you to be my guest, how dare you insult me as soon as you arrive? Don't look down on your juniors just because you are older and more senior!"
Two dragons stared at each other in the sky, their roars growing louder and louder, causing earth and stones to fly in the wind and sparks to fly.
Upon hearing this, all the minor cultivators below the Profound Spirit Realm near the mountain gate immediately abandoned their homes and fled far away.
On each mountain peak, cultivators at the Profound Spirit Realm and above found a spot, squatted in the crevices of the rocks, and excitedly watched the sky as they observed this contest between saints.
As soon as Ji Rong stood at the foot of the mountain gate of Qiyan Blessed Land, which was built of red jade, she saw many flints on the exposed ground.
Ji Rong skillfully raised her claws and dug into the soil. After digging only a foot deep, she unearthed a fire crystal the size of a spirit crystal.
Further inside, the soil felt warm and moist. Ji Rong shook the soil off her feet and thought, "If I sowed some seeds, they would surely grow well."
It's just too warm here, I wonder if it will get infested with insects after it grows?
But it doesn't matter if worms grow out; spirit worms are delicious and more valuable..."
The mountain tortoise lay prostrate at the foot of the mountain gate. It lazily glanced at Ji Rong, who was mining, then its pupils contracted. It stood up respectfully and said to Ji Rong, "The mountain tortoise thanks Lord Ji and my elder brother for saving our lives."
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately raised her head and said, "When I came here, the Mountain and Water God was still thinking of you. He asked me to ask you if you were doing well here. If not, he asked me to take you back."
The mountain tortoise raised its claws and slowly bowed, saying, "The Great Sage Si Nu captured this humble god and brought him here to consolidate the earth's veins. For now, this humble god's life is not too bad."
After saying that, the mountain tortoise said, "Lord Ji, let's go watch them fight."
They flew up to the mountaintop to watch the battle, where the Si woman and Qing Guanzi were already locked in a fierce fight in mid-air.
The woman of Si is a red dragon, born with the ability to breathe fire and projectiles;
Qingguanzi is an earth dragon, capable of traversing mountains and clouds to transport earth and stones.
Both of them cultivated ancient and desolate paths, achieving sainthood through strength, and possessing incredibly powerful bodies.
The woman from Si breathed out a great fire, and Qing Guanzi immediately transformed into his Dharma body and used his tail to stir up a raging cloud to block it.
Then Qing Guanzi quickly shrank his size, hiding himself in the clouds. When he got close to Si Nu's body, he poked his head out from the clouds and clawed at Si Nu's head.
Si Nu also quickly extended a claw, using brute force to block Qing Pingzi's attack. Her huge tail, like a hammer, smashed down on Qing Guanzi's head.
Qing Guanzi hurriedly shrank back behind the clouds. He shrank back so quickly that he fell down and ended up falling to the ground.
The Qingguanzi tilted its head and fell down, instantly disappearing into the earth. In an instant, earth and rocks flew through the mountains and forests, and all living things screamed incessantly.
Seeing Qing Guanzi sink into the ground, Si Nu stopped in mid-air and shot fireballs at the churning area, but missed every time. Then Si Nu spat out a thin, soft stick.
This stick was neither metal nor wood, but resembled both stone and thread. It changed according to the will of the woman from Si, becoming thicker and larger.
After releasing the stick, Si Nu grinned and spat fire onto it. Then, she grabbed the whip-like soft stick and lashed it straight at the ground.
With a single blow, sparks flew as Qing Guanzi charged straight toward Si Nu, his head covered in dirt, but then veered to the side as he raised his claws.
Si Nu reacted quickly, coiling her body around herself. A soft stick crackled in the air as she lashed it. Qing Guanzi exclaimed, "Si Nu, you are indeed powerful! You are the first dragon to force me to use a magic weapon!"
Then, Qing Guanzi pulled out two large pillars from his mouth, grabbed one with each claw, and struck Si Nu's soft stick directly.
Si Nu glared, then swung her soft staff, barely managing to block the large pillar that Qing Guanzi was throwing.
Then, with one claw, he pulled a bronze halberd from his mouth, grabbed it with one claw, and thrust it straight at Qing Guanzi's neck.
...
The two fought incessantly, the roars and howls of dragons never ceasing. They used every kind of magical weapon, from swords and spears to axes and halberds. A day and a night passed, but they still hadn't determined a winner and were still fighting.
The cultivators below the King Realm who were watching the battle from the mountaintop were all shocked by the dragon's roar, causing their ears and noses to bleed, and they left one after another. Meanwhile, the Emperor Realm cultivators, such as Ji Rong, were shocked by the roar, causing their ears to ring.
Ji Rong's initial enthusiasm turned into a stern expression.
She had the mountain tortoise protect her, and flew far away, high up, before shouting at Si Nu and Qing Guanzi, "Great Sages, if you continue fighting, this land will break. Go fight in the heavens and deep in the desolate sea!"
Upon hearing this, Si Nu and Qing Guanzi exclaimed, "Great idea!" They quickly sheathed their weapons and flew into the sky to continue their fight.
As soon as they went up, a rain of fire began to fall from the sky.
Ji Rong looked at the mountain tortoise and said, "If they keep fighting like this, it will inevitably cause a huge fire that will burn the mountain. Mountain Tortoise God, do you know how to put out the fire?"
The mountain tortoise nodded and spat out a tortoise-shaped seal that shone with golden light.
Then the water of the Fiery River flowed into the seal, and the mountain tortoise swallowed the seal. It climbed in the air, seemingly slowly but actually quickly, and sprayed water wherever it went, managing to control the fire.
