Chapter 175 - The Reappearance of the Celestial Master's Sword
Chapter 175 - The Reappearance of the Celestial Master's Sword
The Wanfa Zongtan platform opened, and countless brilliant lights soared into the sky.
Along with it, the entire Longhushan Celestial Master's Mansion's mountain-guarding formation began to operate.
The Wanfa Zongtan platform was the very heart of this formation.
As the formation unfolded, countless wondrous lights could be seen intertwining and weaving intricate array patterns, layer upon layer, forming what seemed like an enormous three-layered altar that reached into the heavens and penetrated the earth.
This altar encompassed all of Longhushan, isolating it from the outside world.
Within the Purple Cleansing Thunder Palace, streaks of purple Nine Heavens Godly Thunder fell, merging with the gigantic altar, causing its surface to shine with thunderous radiance, a fusion of offense and defense.
The last time the formation was activated, enveloping the mountain, was six years ago when the Celestial Master, Li Qingfeng, was still alive.
After Li Qingfeng's demise, the formation had never been fully activated again.
Until now.
The three-layered altar appeared, immediately isolating the great Chu clan scholar.
No matter how surging and overwhelming his sword qi was, at this moment, it dissipated invisibly, unable to penetrate Longhushan even by a hair's breadth.
Seeing the Nine Heavens Godly Thunder flashing on the gigantic altar, the Chu clan scholar had no choice but to temporarily stop and gaze at Longhushan, which was shrouded within.
Within the mountain, the Grand Elder Li Song remained calm, his face expressionless, clad in the Celestial Master's robe, with colorful radiance floating around him.
As the radiance spread, it seeped into the mountain-guarding formation from within.
Covered by the colorful radiance, the operation of the grand formation suddenly became sluggish.
Li Song, clad in the supreme treasure, the Celestial Master's robe, was vying for control of the Wanfa Zongtan platform and the grand formation with Yuan Mobai.
Even if he couldn't truly seize control, his interference affected the operation of the formation.
At this moment, Yuan Mobai sat cross-legged on the Wanfa Zongtan platform, his hands forming a seal in front of his chest, his expression as peaceful as ever.
In the sky above the mountain, the purple thunder dragon suppressed the green fire tiger.
Li Ziyang, while suppressing Yao Yuan, looked at Yuan Mobai and sighed, "Senior Brother Yuan, why go to such lengths? Whether it was my father or my brother, they both had high hopes for you and cared deeply."
Yuan Mobai smiled and nodded, "Master treated me very well, but there are some things he did wrong, which are detrimental to the Celestial Master's Mansion and the Li family."
Li Ziyang said, "As for outsiders, it doesn't matter, but for you, I always thought that we could get along harmoniously and create a wonderful story together."
Yuan Mobai nodded, "I believe that I have no intention of vying for the position of Celestial Master, nor do I have the strength to compete for it."
He raised his head and looked at Li Ziyang, "But that would not benefit the orthodoxy of our sect."
Li Ziyang asked, "Is this what you wanted to see?"
Yuan Mobai replied, "It was you who crossed the line first."
Li Ziyang sighed, "What choice do I have with such relentless pressure?"
In the midst of his sigh, his power increased further, and the massive Nine Heavens Thunder Ancestor's law image fully descended, intending to suppress Yao Yuan's Nine Abyss Flame Ancestor's law image.
Yuan Mobai remained silent, his smile fading, his expression calm as he sat cross-legged within the Wanfa Zongtan platform.
Li Song, clad in the Celestial Master's robe, sat outside the Wanfa Zongtan platform, facing Yuan Mobai from a distance.
Neither of them made a direct move, but through the Wanfa Zongtan platform, they engaged in a contest for control over the mountain-guarding formation.
Li Song's pale face showed a slight hint of redness.
The previous fierce battle with Tang Xiaotang had aggravated his injuries instead of healing them.
He had even refrained from using the Life Star God of the Human Talisman Life Technique to fight Tang Xiaotang at close range and could only rely on the Yang Lei Long to hold her off.
It was only at this moment, when Li Hongyu took over, that Li Song finally had a chance to catch his breath.
However, both his spiritual soul and physical body felt weak and torn apart by searing pain.
But at this critical juncture, he had to endure the discomfort and continue to struggle with Yuan Mobai for control over the mountain-guarding formation.
Compared to the quiet on their side, the other side, at the highest point in the sky, was where the battle raged most fiercely.
There, the golden fire tiger and the purple thunder dragon fought with earth-shattering might, even breaking through the formation and battling above the three-layered giant altar, their clashes unceasing.
The Chu clan scholar stood with his sword, his sword qi erupting, but for a moment, he felt unable to find an opening.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.
Because, in addition to the golden and purple colors, a burst of green suddenly appeared.
A large amount of green Nine Abyss Earth Fire appeared in the sky.
A huge green fire tiger roared, opening its mouth wide.
It stood beside the purple thunder dragon.
Tiger crouching, dragon coiling.
It was Li Hongyu's Yin Fire Tiger! After successfully breaking through to the Eighth Heaven realm, Li Hongyu cultivated the Earth Fire Law and refined it into her Yin Fire Tiger.
From this moment on, the Yang Lei Long and the Yin Fire Tiger were united within her.
After the passing of the previous Celestial Master, Li Qingfeng, the Longhushan Celestial Master's Mansion finally had another powerful cultivator who had simultaneously cultivated the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Grand Laws.
And this signified...
"Dragon-Tiger Strike!"
From afar, Lei Jun gazed at the sky above Longhushan and took a deep breath.
As expected, in the next moment, the purple Nine Heavens Godly Thunder and the green Nine Abyss Earth Fire merged and transformed into a huge purple and green Yin-Yang fish, hanging in the sky like the sun.
Yin and Yang harmonized, dragon and tiger converged.
This was the Dragon-Tiger Strike!
"Ha!"
However, a sudden laughter rang out between heaven and earth.
Lei Jun looked into the distance and saw that beside the golden fire tiger, another enormous fire tiger, like a small mountain, had appeared, standing on the clouds.
The two fire tigers roared at the purple and green Yin-Yang diagram.
And in the next moment, the tiger's roar gradually changed.
In addition to the tiger's roar, there was the sound of a dragon's roar.
Lei Jun's eyes lit up.
The great scholar of the Chu family narrowed his eyes.
Everyone around Longhushan stared, their eyes fixed on the sky above.
They saw the golden fire tiger gradually transform into a massive golden dragon!
As the transformation occurred, flames continued to explode, and from within the flames, golden thunderbolts and lightning snakes were constantly being spit out.
And though it didn't completely transform the golden thunder dragon, the violent and aggressive power within was fully unleashed.
The golden thunder dragon and the green fire tiger began to intertwine and merge at this moment, gradually forming a gigantic Yin-Yang Taiji diagram of gold and green intertwining.
It was clearly a harmonious fusion of Yin and Yang, a combined strike of dragon and tiger.
Tang Xiaotang's Dragon-Tiger Strike!
At the juncture of Yin and Yang, it was less stable than the purple and green Taiji diagram facing it.
But it was more violent.
Colliding with each other, neither side gave way.
From a distance, the sky seemed to be distorted by the two Taiji diagrams at this moment.
"Dragon-Tiger Strike?!” On Dragon-Tiger Mountain, Li Song looked up at the sky, his expression strange. "This kind of Dragon-Tiger Strike?"
Obviously, he wasn't talking about Li Hongyu.
Outside Dragon-Tiger Mountain, Lei Jun suddenly laughed.
He suddenly remembered the time when he and Tang Xiaotang had discussed the Thunder Law's Heaven, Earth, and Man Scripture.
Tang Xiaotang hadn't been making empty talk.
She really had been pondering the creation of her own Thunder Law.
A completely new Thunder Law that was no weaker than the Dragon-Tiger Mountain's orthodox Nine Heavenly Thunders.
Judging from the current situation, it was still immature.
But one could already see its stunning potential.
Most people knew that Tang Xiaotang had an extraordinary root bone and constitution.
But her comprehension was also exceptionally brilliant, surpassing even those with a calm and serene state of mind.
What did it mean to be struck by talent? This was probably it.
Lei Jun gazed at the golden and green intertwining Taiji diagram, and at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
If he could truly enhance his comprehension and aptitude through the Tianhuang Ka밍ng Jade again, achieving a level of comprehension akin to serenity, many of his doubts and obstacles in cultivation, as well as his wonderful ideas, might take on a whole new perspective.
Lei Jun's gaze didn't waver as he continued to stare at the sky above Dragon-Tiger Mountain.
The confrontation between the golden and green Taiji diagram and the purple and green Taiji diagram gradually resulted in a victor.
The purple and green Taiji diagram was more stable and enduring.
After failing to shatter the purple and green Taiji diagram in one go, the golden and green Taiji diagram began to be suppressed by its opponent.
As a result, it became even more unstable, as if it was about to shatter.
However, at this critical moment, the green light faded away.
And the golden light reappeared.
The pure golden thunder and flames erupted with extreme power, producing a second wave of impact that slammed into the purple and green Taiji diagram.
The already greatly depleted purple and green Taiji diagram was instantly pierced by the golden light!
In the sky, purple and green light rained down, bursting and spreading in all directions.
Then, a deafening and continuous rumble shook the heavens and the earth, causing Lei Jun and the others who were far away from the mountain to feel a ringing in their ears and a sense of dizziness in their spiritual souls.
In the sky, a figure fell amidst the light rain.
But soon, she stabilized her body in mid-air.
It was Li Hongyu.
Li Hongyu looked up, dazed, towards the sky.
There, a tall woman, enveloped in golden light, seemed to hang in the sky like a great sun.
The woman's eyebrows and hair had turned a light golden color, and she was laughing heartily, "Haha! What does it matter if you don't teach me the Thunder Law's Heaven, Earth, and Man Scripture? I'll create my own!"
Li Hongyu looked at the young figure, feeling a bit lost.
When had she been so full of vigor and vitality?
First suppressed by her cousin, Li Qingfeng, and now, just as she had finally reached the Eighth Heaven realm and cultivated the long-desired Dragon-Tiger Strike, she was defeated again by another younger woman.
"I lost, not the Dragon-Tiger Strike," Li Hongyu snapped back to reality, her breath stirring in her chest. "I know that your personal grudge is against my third uncle and third brother. But now, the Li family rises and falls together. I can leave alone, but what about the other clan members? I...I can't back down."
She waved at Dragon-Tiger Mountain.
The Heavenly Master's Robe, shimmering with multicolored light, flew up and landed on her once more.
Li Song didn't stop her, but instead, he dragged his weak body to stand up again and walked into the Wanfa Zongtan platform, facing Yuan Mobai.
Yuan Mobai remained calm and stood up to greet him.
Outside the mountain, seeing the Heavenly Master's Robe on Li Hongyu, Tang Xiaotang remained unfazed and even smiled again.
She raised her palm towards the sky.
Then, strands of purple thunder gathered, and within the thunder, a cold light seemed to flash.
"The saying, 'sharpening the knife won't delay cutting firewood,' didn't mean much to me before," Tang Xiaotang laughed. "But today, I think it's quite appropriate."
She had previously searched for the Heavenly Master's Sword tirelessly but had missed it time and again, leaving her frustrated.
However, it wasn't entirely fruitless.
Tang Xiaotang had indeed obtained some clues about the Heavenly Master's Sword.
But with her previous cultivation at the Seventh Heaven realm, she had fallen just short.
As the saying goes, a miss is as good as a mile.
But now, she had reached the Eighth Heaven realm.
The clues she had obtained before took on a whole new meaning and could be used in a completely different way.
And...
"During the previous great battle at Dragon-Tiger Mountain, the missing Heavenly Master's Seal was drawn closer by the battle. Now that Dragon-Tiger Mountain is in conflict again, the Heavenly Master's Sword, being a spiritual object, may also..." Lei Jun gazed into the distance at Dragon-Tiger Mountain, his eyes flashing.
Would it be of any use?
"BOOM!!!"
Thunder exploded.
Not in the Ninth Heaven, but from the Ninth Hell beneath.
Outside Dragon-Tiger Mountain, the earth suddenly undulated like a dragon awakening, forming a long line, then tearing open a deep valley.
Then, with a thunderous roar, purple lightning burst forth from the earth and broke through to the sky once more!
