This is so dishonest!

Chapter 344 Xuan Qing: Please call me the Seafood Vendor! [6k]

"Life and nature are the foundation of human beings; desires are their means of gain. Of all the resources for survival and gain, nothing surpasses food and clothing. Once food and clothing are sufficient, nothing is more desirable than pleasure. And when pleasure is taken to its highest level, it reaches the pinnacle of desire."

Because the Ancestral Dragon diligently developed the Water Element Avenue and perfectly combined it with the Desire Avenue, Desire became the mainstream avenue for the Dragon Clan.

The saying "Nine out of ten dragons desire" refers to the cultivation status of the dragon race.

As a result, even dragon cultivators who do not specialize in the Great Dao of Desire will dabble in it to some extent.

For example, the Azure Dragon.

His major was actually the Wood Yi Dao.

However, as the Supreme Being of the Great Luo, the "Great Joyful Ode of the Intercourse of Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang" he used was still powerful, incomparable to the Four Seas Dragon Gods.

As the chanting of scriptures filled the sky, Kunpeng, who was holding the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle in the clouds, changed his expression.

Kunpeng was naturally well aware of the Dragon Clan's ancestral path and knew its power.

Therefore, the moment Qinglong made his move, he was on full alert, using the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle to regulate Yin and Yang and suppress himself, and no abnormal situation occurred.

Even so, he still couldn't defend against this great supernatural power.

Azure Dragon gently clapped his hands.

The sky emits a light, its color is clear; the earth emits a light, its color is murky.

The clear light descends, and the turbid light rises, like the Yin and Yang of Tai Chi, converging and interacting, resembling the scene at the beginning of the world, before Yin and Yang were separated.

At the moment when the energies of heaven and earth intersected and merged, a beam of light shone on the Kunpeng, casting a long shadow.

In the blink of an eye, the shadow transformed into a graceful goddess.

"My lord, let us rejoice together!" The goddess, dressed in feathered robes, had phoenix eyes with a hint of red at the corners, her gaze as shimmering as spring water, captivating and enchanting.

The Kunpeng's color changed.

It wasn't because he was bewitched by the goddess.

Rather, it was because the Azure Dragon's "Great Joy of Intercourse" directly invoked the power of the Kunpeng, revealing the [Kun Fish] part that he had been hiding, representing the ultimate Yin power!
Now, the extremely yin Kun fish wants to rejoice with him, the extremely powerful Peng bird!
This self-inflicted suffering was something Kunpeng couldn't stand!
"This...this..." Kunpeng pointed at the goddess who he couldn't dispel no matter what he did, trembling with anger.

How does one come to know oneself? No, who came up with this supernatural power?
That's so inappropriate!

"My lord, if you are not happy now, when will you be?" The goddess's fair hand tugged at Kunpeng's sleeve, as if enveloped by peach blossom stars, her eyes full of spring.

"Your dragon clan's desire-based supernatural powers are truly domineering!"

Kunpeng glanced at Qinglong with a cold smile.

Then, he grabbed the goddess, raised his hand, turned the Yin-Yang Qi bottle upside down with the bottom facing up and the mouth facing down, and uttered the word "retract," thus refining his power and withdrawing it.

"This is not because my dragon clan's methods are domineering, but because you, fellow Daoist, have excellent conditions and outstanding aptitude."

Azure Dragon looked at Kunpeng with a strange expression, "Since our clan created this divine power, no cultivator has been as compatible with it as you are, fellow Daoist."

"If you are willing to join my Dragon Clan and learn this supernatural power, you can completely transform Yin and Yang, combine them, and produce and consume them on your own."

"Given time, it is not impossible to reach the pinnacle of the path of desire!"

This is fucking self-produced and self-sold!
Upon hearing this, Kunpeng was bewildered in the wind.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and felt boundless anger in his heart: "Meng—Zhang, you have gone too far!"

Kunpeng picked up the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle and charged towards the Azure Dragon.

Qinglong quickly dodged and said sincerely, "Fellow Daoist, you must believe me. Everything I just said is true."

"Your talent in the Path of Desire is extraordinary; it would be a real shame if you didn't join my Dragon Clan!"

The "Great Joyful Ode to the Union of Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang" is the Dragon Clan's top-tier profound skill, divided into two volumes, a main volume and a supplementary volume.

The main volume is titled "Ode to the Great Joy of Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang," and the supplementary volume is titled "Ode to the Great Joy of Yin and Yang in Harmony."

Although this set of profound skills is not as heaven-defying as the two great techniques, "Supreme Joyful Union Technique" and "Heaven-Defying Dao Proving Technique", its effects are still very good.

Those with exceptional talent can refine the scroll, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to harmonize their own yin and yang, thus achieving dual cultivation of their nature and life.

Of course, those with average talent can cultivate secondary scrolls to engage in dual cultivation between male and female cultivators, enjoying the pleasure and improving their strength.

Kunpeng is an anomaly among them, able to combine the main and secondary volumes for cultivation.

“Fellow Daoist, your power seems to be closely related to change, and to some extent it is in line with the ‘Great Joy of the Union of Heaven and Earth’.”

While fighting Kunpeng, Qinglong earnestly explained to him, "This is either because you, fellow Daoist, are used to playing around and like to do some strange research on your own body."

"Or perhaps you have special aptitude, enabling you to achieve self-production and self-consumption, self-regulation and self-upgrading, making you naturally suited to make a living from the Dao of Desire."

"After considering the degree of frivolity of both, I have concluded that you, fellow Daoist, may exhibit both of these possibilities simultaneously. In other words, due to your special aptitude, you tend to be quite unconventional in your daily life."

Qinglong was like a doctor, analyzing Kunpeng's symptoms in great detail.

"You can accomplish what two gods would do with just one god, and you don't have to worry about your partner's cultivation level being insufficient. You can even cultivate with yourself. You are a Primordial Desire Path Saint Body."

"If you join my Dragon Clan, my elder brother will definitely cultivate you and make you another pillar on the path of desire!"

"Shut up!" Kunpeng was internally screaming; he was practically going crazy.

Wasn't it said that the most serious of the four great ancestors of the Dragon Clan was the God of War, Meng Zhang?

Looking at him now, he seems like a chatterbox, saying the most inappropriate things in the most serious tone!
Is this right?
In fact, not only Kunpeng couldn't hold back, but even Zulong and others in the First Temple almost burst out laughing.

Firstly, I didn't expect Azure Dragon's words to be so sharp; secondly, I didn't expect that the [Great Roc Ancestor] was a Primordial Desire Path Saint Body!

"Lies never hurt anyone, but the truth is the sharpest knife!"

Zulong looked at the Kunpeng who was getting very angry and laughed, "Second brother must have hit a nerve with Dapeng, otherwise he wouldn't be like this."

All the dragon gods laughed: "A god who can fulfill his own desires like this is indeed rare!"

Although the First Dragon did not fully comprehend the changes in Kunpeng's origin, he keenly sensed Kunpeng's unusual nature from the scene just now.

That is by no means a simple differentiation of Yin and Yang Dao bodies, but its essence truly lies in the word "change".

"These powerful members of the Phoenix Clan are no ordinary people either." Zu Long stared at Kunpeng for a moment, his eyes flashing.

~~~~
"Fellow Daoist Holy Body, join my Dragon Clan and live a carefree and joyful life. If you wish to prove your Dao, it will be tomorrow!" The Azure Dragon frequently used the "Great Joy Ode" to create a secondary account for the Kunpeng, the Kun Girl.

Would Kunpeng allow such narcissistic and self-loving behavior?

"Meng Zhang, shut up!"

Kunpeng summoned the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottles, and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals surrounded the area from all directions.

Strands of Yin and Yang energy permeated the heavens and earth, spreading in all directions. A Yin-Yang cage was overturned in the sky, and 108,000 divine swords, sharp as swords, chased after the Azure Dragon and slashed.

"cut!"

Azure Dragon suddenly turned around, and with two fingers forming a sword, he slashed straight into the air, instantly killing thirty-six Heavenly Divine Beings.

With a flick of his sleeve, he collected all the yin and yang energies released from the treasure bottle.

"Eternal, vengeful spirits, please lend me your strength!"

Just then, a beautiful figure appeared. She seized the opportunity, held the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan in her hand, and felt an overwhelming sense of compassion.

"The Five Fires are rare treasures, known as the Seven Feathers, born from Nirvana and riding the flame. When they encounter mountains and strange rocks, they turn to ashes; when they encounter the sea, they are dried up and have little dew left. They are the best at overcoming wood and metal, burning beams and pillars without ceasing. Even the Azure Dragon, with its supreme body, will be destroyed when it encounters a fan."

After reciting the incantation, Yuanhuang held her treasure fan and waved it in the air. Countless ghosts flew out, thousands of black smoke filled the sky, and terrifying flames rose into the air.

Qinglong immediately sensed danger. He pushed away the green crown, which transformed into a physical form to shield him from the disaster, and then he fled.

"Hoohoo!!"

The moment the Azure Dragon's form and spirit touched the ground, it was enveloped in black smoke, turned into ashes, and drifted away.

"How amazing!" Azure Dragon was shocked as it retreated into the air.

If it had been even a breath later, Yuan Huang would have taken him down with a single fan!

"Clan leader, what brings you here?" Upon seeing Yuan Huang arrive, Kunpeng hurriedly used the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle to retrieve his last [Kun Nu] Dharma Image.

[I hope the clan leader didn't see what just happened.] Kunpeng thought to himself.

"Qingpeng, are you alright?"

Behind Yuan Huang, all the elders appeared.

They swarmed forward, all looking at the Kunpeng with great interest.

Seeing that he was alright, everyone breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, you managed to control yourself and didn't give birth to a Great Roc Saint Child, otherwise it would have been a real mess."

Kunpeng's mentality collapsed.

The White Crane Saint saw this and chuckled to himself.

With the death of the White Crane Clan Chief, the position of Acting Clan Chief has now fallen to Qingze (Xuanqing's pseudonym), the Holy Son of the White Crane Clan.

Now that all the major affiliated clans of the Phoenix Clan have mobilized, he naturally has to come and see what's going on.

No wonder Hongjun was so eager to develop the Dao Alliance; it turned out he was just trying to attract attention so he could do some shady things behind the scenes!

The White Crane Saint, Qingze (Xuanqing), hid behind a group of elders and glanced at the Dragon Gods who had also appeared.

After learning that Kunpeng was fighting with the Dragon Clan, he guessed who was behind it.

After all, the Phoenix Clan's main forces are currently serving as firefighting captains in the myriad realms, and they are not yet ready to formally break with the Qilin Clan and the Dragon Clan.

The sudden clash between the Roc clan and the Dragon clan, with even Kunpeng himself joining the fray, would be strange if Hongjun hadn't been pushing them from behind.

"Yuanhuang, you have come all out of your clan to the sixteenth main temple of my Dragon Clan. You are really not taking us seriously." Zulong glared at Yuanhuang and her group.

"Are you going to disregard your reputation, tear up the agreement, and start a tribal war?"

"Zu Long, stop trying to label me!"

Yuan Huang retorted without hesitation, holding the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, "Right and wrong are crystal clear."

"Your dragon race is no good either!"

"Watch me kill!"

Yuan Huang had no desire to engage in verbal sparring, so she immediately led more than ten elders, including Zhuque, Qingyuan, Qingxuan, and Qingluo, to attack.

"Incorrigible!" Zu Long snorted coldly, his dragon robe fluttering slightly. A golden decree appeared out of nowhere, its divine power overwhelming and suppressing all directions. In an instant, he was engaged in battle with Yuan Huang.

"kill!"

In the main temple, numerous dragon gods were mobilized, and thousands of aquatic creatures joined forces to form an array. Clouds and water converged in the endless void, vast and mighty.

"Thinking of your sword, my thoughts flow like a spring, and heaven and earth grieve!" The Turtle Prime Minister, with his hunched back, appeared old and frail, but in reality, he was the most valiant.

He directly confronted Qingxuan (Dijun), the progenitor of the Black Bird.

In that vast and boundless天地 (heaven and earth), a sword called Nianjun hangs high in the sky.

The blade of this sword seems to be formed from endless longing, radiating a cold and profound light.

Runes shimmered on the sword, each rune a manifestation of longing, containing unspeakable deep affection.

On a vast, desolate land, Prime Minister Turtle's eyes were filled with melancholy and longing.

In an instant, thoughts surged forth like a spring, the power of longing seemingly breaking free of the shackles of the soul, surging in all directions.

The weather suddenly changed, and dark clouds rolled and roared across the sky like black beasts.

"What kind of tricks is this old tortoise using?" Under the influence of the Nianjun Sword, the power of thought in Dijun's mind also erupted.

His mind was gradually occupied by a majestic image that he could look up to.

"Hmph!" The majestic Dharma image turned around, revealing itself to be the Ancestral Dragon.

The divine power of Tai Su Da Luo poured down along with this thought.

"Pfft~~"

In just one exchange, Di Jun was struck by the combined power of the Turtle Prime Minister and the Ancestral Dragon, leaving him dizzy and forced to retreat.

"The Prime Minister is mighty!" Hundreds of giant tortoises flew out from the Sixth Temple, carrying tortoise shells like the tortoise prime ministers, holding divine swords, and unleashing the same divine power in unison.

"Thinking of your sword, my thoughts flow like a spring, and heaven and earth weep!"

Hundreds of giant turtles visualized the Ancestral Dragon, summoning its power to unleash terrifying and unparalleled killing intent.

"Afraid of you?" The Great Roc King returned once more. He unfurled a great banner, stirring up countless phenomena, causing boundless winds and clouds to change, and the vast, dark void to become a mysterious place.

Clouds gathered, and the sky darkened.

Dark energy surged forth, plunging the earth into darkness.

The wind rises from the void, raging!
"One hundred and eight thousand swords!"

The Great Roc clan flapped their wings, and countless sword lights clashed, filling the sky with killing intent.

However, how could the sword of the Great Roc Clan possibly be a match for the Ancestral Dragon's Visualization Sword?
"Brother, we've come to your aid!" Yunshang, the Holy Maiden of the Yunque Clan, led her troops to attack.

"The Lark Devours the Dragon!" In the void, three thousand larks formed an array, and with just a soft cry, they devoured the Ancestral Dragon Visualization Sword.

Then, the three thousand larks opened their mouths and spat out terrifying sword light, knocking down hundreds of thousands of giant turtles.

"Damn it, how dare you devour my Emperor! Take this, King's Overlord Divine Fist!" The Turtle Prime Minister was furious. He immediately set up his formation and swung his divine fist at Emperor Jun.

The heavens and earth trembled violently, and an aura of supreme dominance swept over us.

Di Jun's face darkened; every move this old turtle made was related to the Ancestral Dragon.

His physical body is only at the level of Taiji Luo, which makes him feel restricted in combat.

"Nightfall!" Di Jun raised his hand and drew down a curtain of night, illuminating the Turtle Prime Minister's eyes with pitch blackness.

The Turtle Prime Minister's spiritual senses, divine senses, and all his senses, including sight and hearing, were instantly blacked out.

He couldn't "see" Di Jun, and Wang Ba Quan couldn't lock onto his opponent.

"boom!"

Di Jun raised his leg and kicked the Turtle Prime Minister, then decisively switched opponents with Kunpeng.

"Qingpeng, hand over the Azure Dragon to me, and I will avenge you!"

"Good!" Kunpeng was also disgusted by the Azure Dragon.

"The Heaven-Turning Palm of the Gale!"

With a single palm strike, the sky was turned upside down, and a sudden gust of wind arose.

"Nianjun Sword, if you keep it in your heart, it will surely resonate!"

The turtle prime minister, who had been kicked away, hastily thrust out another sword. In an instant, light shone through the night, and he escaped at lightning speed.

"Where do you think you're going!" The roc spread its wings and gave chase.

"Time flows like water!" A Time Dragon burst forth, creating a long river of time in the void, blocking Kunpeng's path.

"He handed it over to me." The Azure Phoenix Ancestor, Qingluo, transformed into light and, amidst the swirling of heaven and earth, produced a five-colored radiance. The Great Dao of Life was ever-flowing and endlessly evolving, opening up boundless space and time.

Qingluo grabbed with her bare hands and captured the Time Dragon.

"Clang!" A giant pincer slammed down, attacking Qingluo with a terrifying power that could annihilate all life.

"Conquer the world!"

The Crab Ancestor's enormous body loomed over the sky as it charged in with overwhelming ferocity.

"Fellow Daoist Qingluo, how have you been?"

"Brother Crab, how have you been?"

A tributary of the river of time disappeared, and countless ancient histories and countless derivative planes transformed into a crimson flame bead that crashed toward the Crab Ancestor.

"boom!!!"

As the light and shadow faded, a fish of time leaped out of the water and transformed into a graceful innate deity—the [Ancestor of the Swan] Qinghong.

"Qinghong?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Crab Ancestor's eyes: "Weren't you dead?"

Qinghong laughed loudly, "My clan's glorious cause is not yet accomplished, I cannot bear to die!"

"Welcome back, fellow Daoist (elder)!"

The Phoenix Clan was overjoyed.

~~~~
The Phoenix Clan's holy sons formed a battle formation, divided into two teams: one led by Qingze (Xuanqing) of the White Crane Clan, and the other led by Qingwu of the Vermilion Bird Clan.

The young members of the White Crane Clan surrounded Xuan Qing, excitedly saying, "Aze, look! Elder Qing Hong has returned! Does this mean our clan leader is also coming back?"

"Don't get too excited, it's still early!" Xuan Qing shook his head.

The situation of the White Crane tribe is different from that of the Swan tribe.

After the White Crane Clan Chief offered sacrifices to Heaven, he directly passed on his Dao Fruit to Xuan Qing, to be used to cultivate future generations.

It would take a long time for things to return to normal, and Yuan Huang might even have to find an opportunity to personally intervene.

"But don't worry, after I break through, the clan leader's return time will be greatly shortened!"

Xuanqing led the White Crane Clan members in a rampage, encountering almost no opponents.

"Fire is one of the five elements. It has energy but no substance. It creates the universe, giving birth to and killing all things. It manifests benevolence and conceals its function. Its wonders are endless. The use of fire is truly profound." Qingwu, the saintess of the Vermilion Bird Clan, unfolded a precious mirror.

The Southern Bright Fire surged forth, piercing through the void and forcing out a group of giant whales.

"presumptuous!"

Five Taiyi Dragon Gods emerged together, unleashing a torrent of true water that extinguished the endless Li Fire.

"Hey, you still haven't grasped the essence of the Yuanhuang Clan Chief's supernatural abilities. These methods are all too conventional!"

Xuanqing stepped forward and handed a vermilion fruit to Qingwu.

"Replenish some spiritual energy, watch me."

"Please begin your performance!" Qingwu and Xuanqing seemed to be quite familiar with each other, and she accepted the vermilion fruit without any hesitation.

"Aze will win!" Qingbai, the young man from the White Crane Clan, puffed out his chest, his spirits high. He had absolute confidence in his elder brother.

Xuan Qing was dressed in brocade robes, with black hair and a jade belt. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and he walked with leisurely steps. His sword-like eyebrows were slightly raised, his starry eyes were bright, and his handsome face had a calm expression.

When Ao Guang, Ao Qin, and the other three brothers saw him step forward alone, they couldn't help but sneer.

"This kid is even more arrogant than that Roc King!"

“These scraggly birds are always very arrogant; we should just give them a good beating.”

"Wouldn't that turn you into a flat-feathered bird?!"

"Hahaha!!"

Five dragon gods stepped forward, and a canopy rose in the sky, displaying five colors: green, black, blue, gold, and white.

This five-colored light reached the heavens and the earth, like a divine sword traversing the heavens, its power unstoppable!
"Little Doyle!"

Xuan Qing gently raised his hand and pointed it towards the void.

"Behold my Phoenix Printing Technique!"

Runes appeared in the sky, illuminating heaven and earth, and landed precisely on the canopy.

Bang!
Five-colored rays of light exploded, and the canopy instantly transformed into a five-colored peacock.

The five Taiyi Dragon Gods were extremely shocked.

"You made a mistake, try again!" Xuan Qing pointed another finger at Ao Guang's brow.

"puff!"

A golden light flashed, and Ao Guang transformed into a duck.

"Quack quack!!" The golden duck panicked and flapped its wings, flying around frantically.

"No, no, I want a phoenix!"

Xuanqing refused to believe in superstition and used his supernatural powers again.

"Phoenix Printing Technique!"

A flash of black light appeared, and Ao Shun, the Dragon God of the North Sea, transformed into a crow.

Ao Shun: "???"

"Run!" Ao Qin, Ao Run, and Ao Guang decisively fled.

"Come back here!" Xuan Qing flew into the air and pointed three fingers.

"I'll swipe!" "I'll swipe!" "I'll swipe!"

Once Xuan Qing has his eye on them, how can the remaining three brothers escape?

They transformed into a dove, a vermilion bird, and a swan, respectively.

"No, why don't you produce a phoenix instead!" Xuan Qing angrily rebuked the five divine dragons that had transformed into birds.

Little did he know that his supporters were stunned.

"Is this the method personally taught by the Yuanhuang Clan Chief?" Qingwu of the Vermilion Bird Clan, Qinghui of the Chongming Clan, Qingyou of the Swift Clan, and other holy sons and daughters were dumbfounded.

Only the white crane clansman's Qingbai remained calm, as he always maintained a confident demeanor.

"Aze can do everything!" the boy said.

"But it won't turn into a phoenix." Xuan Qing returned, carrying a canopy in one hand and five flying birds in his arms.

"Caw caw!" "Coo coo!"

The five brothers struggled desperately.

The Phoenix Clan youths looked at them, then at Xuan Qing.

"Brother, we want to learn this!"

"Here!" Xuan Qing waved his hand, and a jade slip flew out, transforming into hundreds and thousands of spiritual lights that entered his companion's brow.

"Ah, I get it!" The white crane boy Qingbai was the first to learn it.

"Me too!" Qingwu's face lit up with joy.

"I learned it too."

Those present were all the pride of the Phoenix Clan, and with Xuan Qing's method being extremely simplified, everyone learned this supernatural ability in no time.

"Come on, let's have a competition to see who can print the most phoenixes!"

Xuanqing and his companions began their operation.

"Alright, let's have a competition!"

The younger generation of the Phoenix Clan are united and use only the "Phoenix Printing Technique".

They swept through the competition, basically dominating any opponent of the same level.

Xuan Qing spent a long time refreshing the page, but didn't get a single phoenix.

In a fit of anger, he crafted a White Crane Seal and then modified its supernatural powers.

"Phoenix Printing Technique!"

*Smack!*

The white crane seal stuck into the claw of a large shrimp.

brush!
In the blink of an eye, the giant lobster transformed into a handsome young man, bearing a striking resemblance to Xuan Qing.

It actually transformed into Xuan Qing's clone.

"Hehe, this is the real printing technique!"

The two Xuanqing officials worked together, printing continuously.

Two becomes four, four becomes eight, eight becomes sixteen.
As they continued to fight, the number of birds on the battlefield increased, while the number of divine beasts belonging to the dragon race decreased.

Xuanqing captured countless dragon sons and turtle grandsons, shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

It wasn't until the Azure-Clad Dragon God, the Grand Master of Fate, intervened that things stopped.

Are you planning to open a zoo?

Xuan Qing laughed and said, "Please call me the seafood vendor!"

He raised his hand and, to the astonishment of the Azure Dragon God, transformed it into an Azure Phoenix.

"Hey, it's not a phoenix."

Xuan Qing shook his head: "But it doesn't matter."

He retreated to the edge of the battlefield and summoned Chief Honghu.

Then he shouted loudly, "Listen up, you dragons! I'm going to start selling seafood!"

"Hurry up and make your bids, or your juniors will either be steamed or made spicy!"
