Wet viviparity

Chapter 950 Ballad, Little Holy Law
On the vast, blue East China Sea, a small boat cuts through the waves.

Gu Yidi leaned against the gunwale, gazing into the distance, his blue robe billowing in the salty sea breeze. This youngest disciple of Yuanyuan Mountain had a mature face and a composed demeanor. The wooden sword at his waist tapped gently against the gunwale as the ship rocked, producing a monotonous clattering sound.

"Gu Shenjian, please enter the cabin."

The black-armored warrior from the Dog-Sealing Kingdom advised for the third time, his deep voice coming from beneath his iron helmet, "Although we have now passed Taiyi Greenwood Mountain and are no longer within the divine sense of that star official, the sea is still quite turbulent, and there may be unexpected events at any time."

Although Gu Yidi nonchalantly kicked away the waves that hit his feet, his hand never left the wooden sword at his waist. He said, "With three fellow Daoists protecting us, what storms are there to fear? Besides, Ling Xuzi is thousands of miles away."

"Be careful!"

Old Gao from Longwan, who came from Dongshazhou, hurriedly made a hand seal, creating a bubble that separated the inside from the outside.

The white-haired old Taoist priest looked nervously at the sky, completely abandoning his high-ranking demeanor, and said, "That person's supernatural powers are unfathomable. In this extraordinary time, his primordial spirit must be extremely efficacious. If you speak his name directly, he may be inspired and communicate with you."

Seeing the old Taoist's condition, Gu Yidi didn't show it on his face, but he was very concerned and even more curious.

He came from Yuanyuan Mountain in Beihai. Whether it was the Zen Master Caihu or the various people he encountered along the way, they all kept that person a secret, as if he were an unspeakable ancient demon.

Xu Shi, the plague demon god under the command of the Western Plague Palace, emerged from the shadows at the bottom of the boat. Blood blisters swelled slightly between his claws. He said in a hoarse voice, "A few years ago, when I went to Tiannan to visit a friend, I held a banquet at a royal mausoleum villa. When I passed through some rural areas, the children there were singing the 'Precious Coin Ballad'."

A few days ago, right here in the East China Sea, merfolk in a coral nest were also singing the same song.

It's truly unbelievable that the mere few governing methods employed by that man on Victoria Peak have allowed his influence to spread far and wide.

"impossible."

Before Gu Yidi could speak, the dog-sealed warrior retorted, saying with dissatisfaction, "I am also from Tiannan. How come I have never heard of this so-called 'Precious Money Ballad'? We are here to escort Daoist Beihai, not to cause chaos."

Longwan Lao Gao shook his head and said, "Your Quanfeng Kingdom is in a corner of the world, in the remote Liling area. I wonder if the man of Taiping Mountain now has a large amount of fire-resistant cloth produced by the Dao, as well as the merman silk produced by the merfolk in the sea."

The merfolk of the four seas are now a small minority, their numbers almost equal to those of the people of your wondrous lands, on the verge of extinction. Therefore, they have all been ensnared by this trade, and they are eager to promote it.

Gu Yidi blinked. He remembered his master Feng Zhi's instructions when he left the mountain—that the Hundred Flower Fairy was an old friend, and he was going to Pengqiu to act as a persuader to repay a favor to Zen Master Caihu. There was no danger. However, the appearance of the three escorts clearly indicated that they were venturing into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair.

Next, Gu Yidi tried to probe further, but the three escorts stopped talking.

Seeing this, Gu Yidi stood outside the boat, chuckled, and feigned frivolity, directly provoking him by saying, "He's just a cultivator who has been practicing Taoism for a little over a hundred years."

As expected, the dog-sealing samurai was the first to lose his composure. Although he opposed discussing the little saint at this time, which would disrupt their morale, he also disliked being looked down upon without reason. Just as he was about to speak, a long, slender fish tail swam slowly by the side of the boat, and a song began to play.

"Spiritual bricks, used to build cloud corridors, the Divine Palace shines brightly across the eight directions."

The Holy Decree spreads throughout the land, and the Peace Coins clang merrily!
With a clanging sound, over the hill, the woodcutter received a new axe.

"Clearing through thorns to open trade routes, goods flowed in from the south and north, filling warehouses to overflowing."

“Speak of mermaids, and mermaids have arrived.” Gu Yidi said in surprise, his hand on the sword gripping tightly.

"With a clanging sound, the river flows into the sea, and the fisherman catches a fish with a gleaming net."

The dragon palace's pearls blushed with shame, and precious coins could buy mermaid silk.

Along the boat, mermaids darted back and forth, the waves crashing, their chants rising in chorus.

"Hurry up!" Old Gao from Longwan urged the green boat to move as fast as an arrow, the scenery beside the boat flashing past, leaving the mermaids behind in the blink of an eye.

With a "plop," a male and a female blue-scaled mermaid suddenly leaped high into the air beside the boat.

They stirred up waves, spread their arms, leaped several meters high, and crisscrossed on the boat, singing loudly in the sunlight: "Clanging sound, we've arrived in Li Village, the shamans and monks put away their old talismans. Elixir and cinnabar are clearly priced, even children can buy honey."

"court death."

"Don't make a move." The voices of Inufusa Warrior and Xu Shi from below the boat rang out one after the other. Then, Inufusa Warrior crushed the male and female merfolk with both palms, and blood burst out everywhere, flowing into a waterfall of blood that destroyed the treasures of the Azure Boat.

"The green cicadas fly around the carved beams, and each family counts their merits."

The secrets of the past are now used as collateral, in exchange for the eternal continuation of the Daoist lineage.

As the clear voice chanted, a white lotus floated above the continuously cascading waterfall of blood. On the lotus, a person stood barefoot and slowly raised their head.

Beneath the iron helmet of the dog-sealed samurai, his pupils suddenly contracted, his lips parted to reveal sharp teeth, and he was about to fight to the death when his senses became dull and slow, realizing he had fallen under a profound illusion. At that moment, the person on the lotus slowly raised his head, the arc of his hair frozen in mid-air, the splattered blood droplets hovering like agate, and even the sea breeze seemed to solidify into transparent glass.

He met those eyes, which were two short, parallel lines. Then everything went black, and all the light went into those horizontal eyes.

In an instant, it felt as if a ball of fire was stuck in his chest. His fighting instincts made him put his hands in front of his chest, but his hands also went numb in an instant. His precious armor and spirit helmet turned into juice on his body, and his entire body melted in the heat.

The mighty Inu-boss samurai, a divine being whose physical body was nearly indestructible, died so hastily.

Before Gu Yidi could react, Xu Shi pulled him into the shadows.

This shadow was a shadow escape technique created by Xu Shi using the accumulated yin energy of ten thousand years of corpses. In just a breath or two, it had already approached the hill at the extreme of the East Sea. But at this moment, Xu Shi had to turn around because a beam of heat swept over from the sea, the heat emanating from the eyes of the person on the lotus.

The beam of heat that followed swept through the area even faster than a shadowy figure disappearing into the shadows. Wherever it passed, the seawater exploded into hot steam that shot into the sky, only to evaporate without a trace in an instant.

"what!"

Xu Shiyuan was greatly alarmed by the divine warning, causing him to cry out in surprise. The accumulated Yin energy of ten thousand years of corpses was spewed out wildly, consuming the energy needed to maintain this escape technique.

Even so, the heat still shone on him.

The intense yang fire in the light instantly ignited the accumulated yin energy of the corpse, causing a violent explosion that shook the heavens and the earth. A hundred-foot-tall water peak suddenly rose from the sea, and from within the water peak, a sword light cleaved through the incoming heat. It was Gu Yidi holding a wooden sword, protecting Xu Shi behind him.

Old Gao Zhen, standing atop a crocodile dragon, shouted from Nalong Bay, "We are within his realm of the Five Elements in perfect order. Unless we break through this realm, we will never be free!"

"Guests in crane-feather cloaks and merchants in silk brocade stood in front of the treasure cabinet."

Although the Three Mountains Talisman Coins are valuable, they cannot compare to the enduring vitality of precious coins!

On the lotus, Ji Ming had not yet finished reciting when the heat emanating from his eyes, which had been fixed on Li Dongheng, dissipated.

He looked at the small Yuan Shen sword Gu Yidi coming towards him, and slowly raised his outstretched hands. The snake rings he was biting below his two earlobes were blown by the sea breeze and swayed. The sea wave Dharma Realm instantly lost all its temperature, and the Xuanming True Meaning flowed within it.

Xu Shi crouched in the cold wind, as if he had suffered a huge blow. He could not accept the fact that he had been subdued in one move. He was still savoring the pure and yang meaning in the heat light just now, as if it were a natural way to overcome his yin and evil.

It wasn't until Gu Yidi revealed the true form of the wooden sword, unleashing the unity of body and sword, transforming into a Gengjin sword radiance enveloped in starlight dust that flew towards Lian Shang Ling Xuzi that he regained his senses, his spirits lifted, and he exclaimed, "This is the Big Dipper Jade Balance Divine Sword!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin felt a chill.

In the blink of an eye, it was as if a completely different world had appeared before them; the sea had been frozen into a vast ice field, a boundless expanse.

"Today, the sword cultivators of Beihai are here. Fortunately, we have encountered the Little Sage of Tiannan. We have no choice but to draw our swords."

Gu Yidi's body and sword merged into one, forming the Gengjin sword, which tore through the sky. The killing aura of the Big Dipper shredded the solidified sea breeze into crystal powder. The Big Dipper constellation spread out in the sword's radiance, with the Jade Balance star shining brightly among them—the Jade Balance star governs killing, and this sword, when it strikes an enemy, will surely sever their primordial spirit.

"break!"

Gu Yidi's shout resonated with the sword's cry, and where the starlight passed, the ice field suddenly shattered.

"Ah!"

With a soft laugh, the snake rings below Ji Ming's ears caused his earlobes to shake violently. The vast Xuanming Star Constellation Magic Power circulated, and Thousand Hands flew out from behind him, carrying the Big Dipper constellation map on its back, with Tianquan Star shining brightly among them.
