I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 570 Azure Water Black Dragon (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Before Jiang Yi could even get a clear look at his surroundings after entering the secret realm, he released Fu Liu Xi Bing and Tian Xin Xi Bing to his left and right, respectively, and they sped off in different directions to protect his main body.

Tianxin Xibing carried the magic treasures and spirit stones given to him by Jin Wanguan, so it's always good to be on the safe side.

Jiang Yi kept the two swords, Zhaoming and Yaoling, on his back. He then released Huagu Hongli and Qingxiao, leaving Zhenshan and Duanjin to wait in Youxian Ferry.

The Azure Sky perched on Flower Maiden's head like a flower crown, as it loved the delicate, refreshing aura emanating from her and often did so.

As soon as Hongli appeared, she grew to a larger size and crawled down in front of Jiang Yi, her tail swishing irritably, looking like she wanted to 'hurry up'.

After settling comfortably on Hongli's back, Jiang Yi carefully explored her surroundings. Hua Gu had already sent out two little Hua Gu to explore ahead of her.

"I understand, we are within a great formation!"

The Flower Maiden above them relayed a message: they were currently floating above a strange body of water.

The water beneath your feet is like melted, colorful glass, shimmering and dreamlike.

The water's surface was as smooth as a mirror, clearly reflecting the drifting clouds in the sky and their silhouettes. Countless islands of various shapes and sizes appeared on the water's surface, as if leading to countless exits.

Hua Gu's true form excitedly ran to Jiang Yi, "I know, I know! This is the Azure Wave Illusionary Sea Formation. My master taught me about it. Those islands are all fake. You guys stay here, I'll go down and explore first!"

After saying that, Hua Gu plunged headfirst into the water below, without even making a ripple, disappearing silently like cotton candy dissolving in water.

Jiang Yi used the two warp-shaped artifacts to look further into the distance. This boundless, seven-colored glazed sea was also imperceptible to her.

"It seems to be due to the great formation. Even with the Kunlun Dao Seal, I didn't receive any preferential treatment. I thought I would be directly teleported to the cauldron."

Jiang Yi sighed, unaware that the Kunlun Dao Seal had almost burned out when she was undergoing her Nascent Soul tribulation. Now it could only be used as a key to unlock the treasures left by Kunlun in various parts of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and no longer possessed any other abilities.

“I understand!” Hua Gu’s head popped up from underwater. “Deep underwater, there is a huge and beautiful palace, but a fierce snake is coiled at the entrance! Inside the palace, there are many water-made people floating around. According to my calculations, the core of the great formation is inside the palace.”

Flower Maiden's two smaller Flower Maiden clones quickly flew back and merged into her main body.

"Are you confident you can break the formation?" Jiang Yi asked.

Hua Gu nodded vigorously, "Yes! But to get there, we have to deal with that giant snake and those water-based people first, and we also have to be careful not to be fooled by the water mirror illusion."

"Alright! Flower Girl, you guide us, let's charge in!"

As soon as Jiang Yi finished speaking, Hong Li suddenly took a few steps back in mid-air, shaking her head like a rattle drum.

Jiang Yi slapped Hong Li's forehead. "I forgot, you have a pure fire constitution and are afraid of water. Okay, I'll give you a break this time. Go back first and be prepared for me to borrow your fire at any time."

Hong Li bared her teeth and obediently returned to Youxian Ferry, taking the Yaoling Sword with her. She left Zhaoming to guard Jiang Yi with the sword hanging around him.

"Follow me, this way."

Hua Gu, with the blue sky above her head, led Jiang Yi and Zhao Ming across a calm body of water, attempting to avoid the underwater presence from above and fly directly above the palace before entering the water.

However, they had only flown away for a short time when the great formation seemed to have sensed their intentions. The reflection on the water surface suddenly rippled violently, and several graceful but expressionless women, formed from pure water, rose from the reflection, like celestial maidens in a painting.

The water palace maids gracefully waved their water sleeves, and several streams of water surged toward them, concealing countless invisible water arrows sharper than sword energy.

Before Jiang Yi could make a move, Hua Gu and Zhao Ming rushed forward from the left and right. Hua Gu froze the ice sculpture with ice, while Zhao Ming used his sword to cut it down, killing it in pieces.

However, no matter how much the water palace maids are broken into, they can continuously reassemble and reform endlessly.

After a brief standoff, Hua Gu spoke up to remind them, "They are part of the great formation; their weakness is between their eyebrows."

Zhao Ming immediately transformed his sword light into countless golden leaves, which rained down, each one piercing precisely between the brows of the water palace maids. The maids' bodies disintegrated into ordinary water droplets with a splash, never to be reformed. "Well done!" Jiang Yi praised.

Guided by Hua Gu, they narrowly avoided several water mirror illusions and finally reached the waters directly above the underwater palace.

Looking down from here, through the clear yet unfathomable seven-colored crystal water, the outline of a magnificent crystal palace can be vaguely seen, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

At the entrance of the palace, a giant dragon, hundreds of feet long and covered with jade-like scales, was coiled up.

Hua Gu quickly explained to Jiang Yi, "This is the Azure Water Dragon. It must have been captured to guard this formation. Its cultivation level is uncertain, and it is bound to the formation. The stronger the formation is, the stronger it becomes. The biggest characteristic of the Water Formation is that it becomes stronger when it encounters a stronger opponent. We need to control our strength and defeat it with only a little bit of power stronger than it."

Jiang Yi's eyes narrowed. "Suppressing Mountain and Breaking Gold, all of you come out! Hua Gu, set up an array to seal off the fighting fluctuations in this area. Let's finish this quickly!"

With a flash of light, the imposing figure of Zhenshan and Duanjin appeared on either side of Jiang Yi. Fu Liuxi and Tianxinxi were also summoned back by Jiang Yi, who had confirmed that there was no one else in the formation for the time being.

Zhenshan let out a low roar, his skin turning a dark lava red, and his gravity field was poised to unleash its power.

Duan Jin's arms shimmered with golden light, instantly transforming into two ferocious Golden-Splitting God-Slaying Crossbows, their bolts locking onto the giant dragon below.

Roar--

Sensing the threat, the Azure Water Dragon let out a deafening roar, its massive body stirring up the water, causing the entire area to boil instantly!
The seven-colored glazed water seemed to come alive, transforming into countless enormous water tornadoes that shot into the sky with terrifying strangulation power, while simultaneously spewing out a stream of soul-corroding poison from its mouth.

Having honed their skills through three months of combat at sea, Jiang Yi didn't need to give any commands. The Azure Sky above Hua Gu's head spread out the Rejuvenation Realm, and emerald rain of light fell, forming a thick wood spirit shield around everyone to resist the corrosive water poison, while continuously replenishing the spiritual energy consumed by everyone.

With a wave of her hand, Hua Gu sent out the divination tube. The bamboo sticks flew out like shooting stars, instantly setting up a trapping array around the Xuan Jiao. The power of wind, rain, thunder, and ice transformed into chains, wrapping around the Xuan Jiao's massive body.

Fu Liuxi's brushstrokes flowed like dragons and snakes, and large amounts of runes fell into the water, rapidly freezing the surface of the water around the Xuanjiao and restricting its movement.

Tianxin Xibing was in a frenzy. A large number of grayish-white Yin-eating moths transformed into a fire moth storm, sweeping towards the poisonous water, scorching it and quickly purifying it.

"I'll lock it up!"

Zhenshan roared and plunged into the water. The chains on his arms, like two roaring fire dragons, precisely wrapped around the Xuanjiao's body. Gravity was reversed, and the Suanni phantom roared and stomped down, pressing down hard on the struggling Xuanjiao.

The heavy crossbow formed from Duan Jin's arms burst forth with dazzling golden light. A barrage of Xuanhuang crossbow bolts, like a golden waterfall, poured wildly onto the Xuan Jiao's relatively soft belly and reverse scales, blasting open pieces of jade scales and gushing out dark green dragon blood!

The black dragon let out an extremely shrill scream, twisting its body wildly, shattering the ice surface and creating towering waves.

"Now, Zhaoming!"

Unparalleled sword intent erupted from the Zhaoming Sword, piercing deep into the head of the Xuanjiao through the wound inflicted by the heavy crossbow bolts!
puff!

The sword light pierced through his brain, and the enormous body of the Azure Water Black Dragon suddenly stiffened. The fierce light in its vertical pupils quickly dimmed, and its body crashed to the ground, completely losing its life force.

The battle ended, and the demons breathed a slight sigh of relief. They had become very proficient at executing this combination of punches.

Hua Gu removed the trapping formation, floated to the side of the Xuan Jiao's corpse, and with a small hand, took out a fist-sized inner core with flowing green light from its head. Next to the inner core was a bead the size of a pigeon egg, pure and clear like glass.

"The Crystal Heart!" Hua Gu handed it to Jiang Yi like a precious treasure. "And this too, the Xuanjiao Inner Core!"

"These all look like they're water-related items; you can keep them for yourself."

The Crystal Water Heart is a supreme antidote, and the Mysterious Dragon Inner Core contains pure water-based spiritual power; both are valuable items that Hua Gu can utilize.

"Let's go, into the palace!"

Jiang Yi took the corpse of the Azure Dragon to Youxian Ferry and gave it to Hong Li to dispose of.

　See you tomorrow~
