I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 145 Meeting (Bonus Chapter for 500 Monthly Tickets in April)

"How is this going?"

Zhao Cangyun was the first to run to Jiang Yi. He saw corpses all over the ground, three of which were unrecognizable and disgusting.

Having just received Jiang Yi's signal, they hurried on their way and didn't pay much attention to the images transmitted to them by Wuhenmu.

Jiang Yi got off Hong Li's back and shrugged. "I don't know. They were just stabbing each other in the back, killing one after the other. I couldn't even stop them in time."

Jiang Yi withdrew the Heart-Piercing Mirror that had been suspended in mid-air. Zhao Cangyun's hair stood on end, and he was so frightened that he almost jumped up to avoid the mirror's light.

He knew what had happened; he won without bloodshed. Senior Sister is truly ruthless!

This broken mirror is more terrifying than those magical artifacts and immortal weapons.

Jiang Yi glanced at him sideways, and Zhao Cangyun quickly stood at attention. "Senior Sister, I'm being very good."

"Okay, collect everything from the body. Hongli, after he finishes collecting the remains, burn the body thoroughly."

嘤~
Shen Puning and Xin Wushuang walked over. Xin Wushuang wanted to help, but Jiang Yi stopped her.

"He's enough on his own."

Zhao Cangyun is a fire unicorn, born with the ability to ward off evil. Demonic energy cannot corrupt him, so he should also be able to resist the strange aura here.

Shang Shixu walked up to the group, glanced at the mess on the ground, nodded slightly, didn't ask any more questions, and went to check the palace gate.

The palace gates were only slightly ajar, and inside, the scene of demons running rampant remained, but the root-like creatures and monsters did not chase after them outside the palace gates.

Jiang Yi said to the group, "Don't rush things inside. Come with me over there to rest for a while, and we'll discuss how to attack."

The square in front of the Qingdi Palace was very large. Jiang Yi set up the tortoise shell formation in a place far from the palace gate but still within sight of it. Several people sat on the ground, and Zhao Cangyun threw all the things he had collected in front of Jiang Yi.

In addition, there are five demon spirit bags containing blood ginseng dolls, and the nameless sword manual that Zhao Cangyun obtained from the bamboo swordsman.

He really didn't dare to hide anything, afraid that his senior sister would shine a mirror on him.

Jiang Yi tossed the sword manual back into Zhao Cangyun's arms, saying, "Keep your own stuff!"

"Okay! Hehehe~"

Jiang Yi raised his hand, and a beam of azure light landed in his palm, transforming into a green bamboo leaf. Hua Gu appeared out of thin air, startling everyone.

Shen Puning asked in surprise, "Has Hua Gu been here all along?"

Xin Wushuang was also surprised and suspicious. She carefully examined Hua Gu and found that Jiang Yi's ability to conceal herself with "a leaf before the eyes" was more powerful than the superior magic weapon "Hidden Shadow" that she had given to Wanli.

Shang Shixu said, "My Traceless Eyes didn't detect any fluctuations in spiritual energy either, so it is indeed a good magic weapon."

Zhao Cangyun sniffed; all the smells were blocked out. It was terrifying!
Hua Gu proudly puffed out her chest, flew to Jiang Yi's side, pushed aside the shrunken Hong Li, and squatted in Jiang Yi's arms to attend the meeting.

Hong Li was now completely focused on the Creation Longevity Cauldron, fearing that these people would give up because they couldn't defeat the Azure Emperor's afterimage. She didn't dare to cause any trouble and cooperated exceptionally well, burning the corpses with super-powerful firepower.

"Tell me about your journey so far," Jiang Yi asked.

Zhao Cangyun was about to speak when Shang Shixu stopped him. If he were really allowed to talk, he would tell you about every ant he stepped on on the road, and it would take him several hours to finish.

Shang Shixu said, "Overall, there were no major setbacks. We also searched the rear carefully and found nothing except a talisman puzzle on the wall of Xuandu Temple, half a piece of green jade in the peach grove, five blood ginseng dolls in the herb garden, and some insects in Blackwater Lake."

Shang Shixu took out half a piece of green jade and gave it to Jiang Yi. Shen Puning hurriedly raised her hand.

"I...I've solved the talisman riddle. It's a demon-suppressing talisman. It can be drawn by taking the ash from the core of a thousand-year-old peach wood and adding the blood of a divine beast. I have the core of a thousand-year-old peach wood, but I don't have the blood of a divine beast. I can try using the blood of an ordinary beast instead. I can draw it now."

Zhao Cangyun lowered his head and touched his nose, while Jiang Yi nodded without looking to the side.

"Then let's draw some first. Perhaps it will have a miraculous effect on those demons in the Azure Emperor's Palace."

Jiang Yi took out some thousand-year-old peach wood cores from Qin Yunze's storage ring and handed them, along with the fragments of the "Shangqing Zhenxie Lu", to Shen Puning, asking her to see if they could be used.

Zhao Cangyun spoke weakly, "I have some decent beast blood here. I'll give it to you later, so use it sparingly."

"What kind of beast's blood is it?"

"Why ask so many questions? Just use it when I tell you to. Stop talking so much nonsense," Zhao Cangyun said impatiently.

"Cough!" Jiang Yi coughed.

Zhao Cangyun's expression softened instantly, and he spoke softly, "It is the blood of a very powerful fire-type... great demon. Please accept it, Junior Sister Shen."

"Alright, thank you in advance, Senior Brother Zhao." Shen Puning lowered her head and flipped through the tattered scroll. Shang Shixu chuckled softly, covering his face with his sleeve, and Jiang Yi also smiled. Being with them was very relaxing and comfortable.

Jiang Yi pieced the two pieces of green jade together perfectly, and the cauldron pattern on them was the Creation and Longevity Cauldron.

“The remnant of the Azure Emperor inside is very likely the mutated cauldron spirit. This token is the Cauldron Control Token. My true essence is still quite strong, and my divine sense is also decent. I can try to refine it initially. If the Cauldron Control Token can suppress the cauldron spirit, we will have a chance to defeat the remnant of the Azure Emperor.”

Jiang Yi's cultivation method had already been told to others, and everyone knew that Jiang Yi's main purpose in coming here was the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture".

Shang Shixu said worriedly, "Those four are Foundation Establishment cultivators after all, and they couldn't even resist the remnant spirit of the Azure Emperor. Aren't we being too strained?"

Shen Puning nodded, while Xin Wushuang frowned.

Jiang Yi smiled wryly, "It's really a stretch. I wish you could all establish your foundation on the spot."

“I can, I can!” Zhao Cangyun responded immediately.

After reaching the peak of Qi Refining, one can actually take Foundation Establishment Pills at any time to begin Foundation Establishment. However, if the time spent tempering the body with true essence is too short, it will affect the Foundation Establishment effect.

Therefore, most cultivators, after reaching the peak of Qi Refining, will diligently train for several years until their body and mind reach their fullest potential before attempting Foundation Establishment.

Jiang Yi ignored Zhao Cangyun and slowly said while looking towards the palace gate, "The overall strength of the Azure Emperor's remnant spirit is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, but its main body cannot leave the range of the cauldron. Its attacks mainly rely on those green wooden swords. The swords are quite powerful and are the most dangerous."

"Secondly, the Azure Emperor can also control underground roots to emerge from the ground and attack. These roots are highly destructive to the surrounding environment, but they are easy to eliminate. Just be careful to avoid getting entangled. Then there is the most troublesome thing: the Azure Emperor can infinitely summon and revive the Azure Vine Guardians and the Fire Spirit of the Alchemy Furnace in the Azure Emperor Palace."

“Red Glass can restrain the Fire Spirit of the Alchemy Furnace, which is one of our advantages. However, the chains and poison pills thrown out by the Fire Spirit of the Alchemy Furnace are also troublesome, especially the miasma of the poison pills, which affects the circulation of true essence after entering the body. The Green Vine Guardians are very tough, so be careful of the bronze halberds in their hands. Also, when the bronze halberds shake the ground, be careful that thorn cages will appear under your feet.”

At this point, Jiang Yi paused. As long as the battle tactics were appropriate and she provided healing assistance, none of the above problems would be too difficult. The most troublesome issues were the omnipresent spirit of words and the Azure Emperor's illusionary words of inquiry.

At first, she didn't pay attention, thinking that attacking the phantom would cause lightning to strike. But judging from the final fate of Qin, Zhang, and the others, those words of inquiry were like prophecy and curse, leading to a tragic end.

"The Azure Emperor can also appear beside people in an illusion to question their conscience. Don't listen to him, don't pay attention to him, and try not to attack the illusion..."

Jiang Yi told the others all the details he had observed in the previous battle. The group then began to discuss the battle plan, assign their respective tasks, and deduce the possibility of successfully eliminating the remnant spirit of the Azure Emperor.

However, the situation is not optimistic. If it weren't for their extraordinary backgrounds and unique skills, this would be nothing short of a fantasy.

Specifically, we'll need to try several more times to find out. If they really can't win, then they only have two options.

Either cultivate here until you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, or give up temporarily and leave, and come back next time.

"Puning, you should try to draw more demon-suppressing talismans. Wushuang, your metal elemental true essence is strong, and this Immortal-Slaying Talisman can still be used once. You take it and follow my instructions. As for the magic weapons on these people, see who can use which ones and take them yourself. Don't be polite with me now."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Cangyun picked up the Crimson Cloud Silk, fiddled with it for a while, and then threw it away with disdain.

"Then, I'll go take a nap to replenish my energy. I'm exhausted from acting with these people these past few days. Once I wake up and refine the Control Cauldron Token, we'll go in and give it a try!"

Jiang Yi tucked the two pieces of jade into his bosom, spread out a mat, and fell asleep on the spot. Soon his breathing became even, and he drifted into a deep sleep.

The four of them stared at her blankly, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Finally, Zhao Cangyun stiffly explained, "My senior sister... isn't in good health, she's weak, you know what I mean."

When Jiang Yi fell asleep this time, her consciousness returned to the Lazy Immortal Temple.

Outside, there was a bluish light and faint celestial music, which meant that something wanted to invade her soul, but was stopped by Langen.

Jiang Yi walked to the entrance of the Lazy Immortal Temple and gradually heard the celestial music clearly.

In the beginning of chaos, the primordial chaos was first divided.

Only one cauldron remains, named 'Creation and Longevity'.

Its shape is like a dome, covering yin and yang; its patterns resemble wood, coiled and verdant.

In ancient times, the Green Emperor toured the eight directions, using the Qi of Lesser Yang to forge its core and the essence of plants and trees to condense its body.

Therefore, the tripod embodies the virtue of wood and nurtures all living beings. It cannot be activated without the innate source of energy, nor can it be controlled without the mind and spirit of an innocent child.

The secret formula is as follows...

Jiang Yi was shocked. This was clearly the "Controlling the Cauldron Technique," but why was it her?
Can it not be activated without innate primordial Qi?

So, is laziness essentially an innate source of Qi?
　Debts cleared!

　　happy!

　　see you tomorrow!
　　Double update tomorrow, I'm going to start stockpiling chapters, hahaha~
