From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 583 The Scheme to Capture the Spirit Illusion and Unite Heaven and Earth
After seeing off all the guests, Li Chengqian stood alone atop Lanyue Peak, his gaze distant and unfocused.

"The Protoss!!"

Among the guests who visited today, one could sense an extremely subtle, cold, orderly, and distorted aura that was completely out of step with the Dao of Immortality.

He was all too familiar with this aura; it was the aura of the gods.

However, it wasn't the gods who infiltrated Lanyue Peak, but rather the aura that several true disciples somehow picked up.

"It seems that Hua Tian already knows about my defeat of Fan Qingying!"

He was not surprised by this.

In the original story, there was a plot where the Celestial Realm deity, Linghuan, entered the Feathered Ascension Sect under the guise of an overseas rogue cultivator, befriended the sect's true disciples, and secretly plotted against Fang Han. Now that he has defeated Fan Qingying and killed the God King, the divine race will definitely see him as a thorn in their side. It is perfectly normal for them to intensify their infiltration of the Feathered Ascension Sect and sow discord between him and Hua Tiandu.

However, these are just minor tricks.

With a swift movement, he blended into the night and, following that faint sense of touch, arrived at a secluded courtyard at the foot of the Feathered Immortal Mountain.

In the quiet room of the secluded courtyard, a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a black Taoist robe, with an ordinary face but a condescending and indifferent gaze, was meditating with his eyes closed. His aura was perfectly disguised; on the surface, he appeared to be just a cultivator at the fifth level of the Divine Power Realm, without revealing any of his true strength.

Unfortunately, the World Tree between Li Chengqian's brows had long been stirring with restlessness.

So, he made his move without any warning!
There was no grand display, only an invisible hand containing the profound mystery of the Great Sealing Technique that he had just mastered. It instantly froze the space around the meditation room, forming an invisible cage!

The god who called himself "Mr. Spirit Illusion" suddenly awoke, a look of horror flashing in his eyes. Divine light surged around him as he tried to tear through space to escape. However, faced with Li Chengqian's absolute strength and the suppression of the Great Dao, his struggle was like an ant trying to shake a tree.

"puff!"

The spatial cage contracted, easily breaking through his protective divine light and imprisoning him tightly.

"Insects! Release me! I am a noble god, and you immortal cultivators are nothing but food for my gods! If you dare to touch me, when the army of the gods descends, I will make sure that not a single member of your Feathered Sect is spared!" Even after being captured, Mr. Linghuan still maintained his deep-rooted arrogance, staring at Li Chengqian with venomous eyes and letting out a mental roar.

"You're about to die, yet you still dare to be so arrogant." Li Chengqian was too lazy to waste words with him. He directly sealed his cultivation and picked him up like a chicken. "I'll take you to see the sect leader and see if you can still be so arrogant."

The next moment, Li Chengqian tore through the void and appeared deep within the Feathered Heaven Palace, outside the main hall where Feng Baiyu usually cultivated in seclusion.

"Disciple Li Chengqian has urgent business to discuss with the Sect Master!"

The palace doors opened silently. Feng Baiyu sat upright on the futon and saw Li Chengqian and the Linghuan Master, who was sealed in his hand and struggling and cursing. Especially when he felt the pure and disgusting divine aura on the other party, his usually calm face suddenly changed color!
"The Divine Race!" Feng Baiyu suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented fierce light. "How dare you infiltrate my Feathered Ascension Sect!"

With a flick of his sleeve, the phantom of the Emperor Mirror appeared behind him, and a hazy, clear light shone upon Mr. Linghuan. The god-like figure let out a piercing scream under the mirror's light, its disguise peeling away layer by layer to reveal its true form—covered in fine bone armor and radiating a cold, holy aura!
"As expected, he is a remnant of the God Clan!" Feng Baiyu's expression was extremely solemn. "Chengqian, you have made a great contribution! This matter concerns the safety of my Feathered Ascension Sect and even the entire Xuanhuang Great World!" Without hesitation, he activated the Heavenly Emperor Mirror, and an even more solid mirror light transformed into a cage, completely imprisoning and suppressing Mr. Linghuan, ensuring that he could neither destroy himself nor transmit any messages.

Next, Li Chengqian explained to Feng Baiyu that he had encountered the gods overseas and was able to identify their aura. Today, upon returning to the Yuhua Sect, he sensed that several of the disciples were tainted with this aura, so he immediately took action to investigate and captured Mr. Linghuan in one fell swoop.

"Good, good, good!" Feng Baiyu said "good" three times in a row, his gaze towards Li Chengqian filled with admiration and satisfaction. "Chengqian, you are meticulous and have outstanding strength. It is a great fortune for the sect to be able to see through and capture this fiend! The sect will definitely reward you handsomely! You are granted 30 million contribution points and can enter the core area of ​​the Lesser Immortal Realm to cultivate for a year! In addition, you are granted a 'Ascension Token', which allows you to mobilize some of the sect's resources and act as you see fit!"

"Thank you, Your Excellency Headmaster!" Li Chengqian bowed to accept the reward, but his heart was not particularly stirred. Since obtaining the Great Yin-Yang Technique, the Feathered Ascension Sect had not been of much help to him anymore; now, he only valued the platform it provided.

"In addition, there is another matter that I need to explain to the sect leader," Li Chengqian said. "In the outer sea, I defeated the leader of the Forty Great Thieves, the Abandoned Sky Thief, who is also the number one candidate on the Longevity Candidate List, Fan Qingying, and seized her Dao artifact, the Great Chaos Thunder Sword. This woman immediately attracted the God Clan to intercept and kill me, which is obviously a collusion with the God Clan."

"Oh, you defeated Fan Qingying?" Feng Baiyu was slightly moved. He knew about the Longevity Candidate Ranking; Fan Qingying was ranked first, and Hua Tiandu was only ranked third. Now that Li Chengqian had defeated the first-ranked one, then Hua Tiandu...

He immediately laughed and said, "Great! To be able to defeat Fan Qingying, you truly deserve to be the pride of our Feathered Immortal Sect. This matter should be widely publicized. The Longevity Candidate Ranking is done every three years. Next time, you will be ranked first. This is also an honor for our Feathered Immortal Sect."

At this point, he glanced at Li Chengqian, as if he knew what Li Chengqian was worried about, and said, "Don't think too much about it. You and Hua Tiandu are both the pride of our Yuhua Immortal Sect. As the senior brother of the Yuhua Sect, I believe Tiandu has enough magnanimity."

Li Chengqian smiled, nodded, and took his leave.

Shortly after Li Chengqian captured Mr. Linghuan, news began to circulate among the upper echelons of the Feathered Ascension Sect that he had not only defeated Fan Qingying, the leader of the Forty Great Thieves, outside of Guixu. This news, though from a secretive source, precisely stirred the nerves of certain individuals.

"The Protoss... what? They've started plotting and scheming? But they think they can use Hua Tiandu to deal with me? They've miscalculated."

His gaze was fixed on the direction of Tiandu Peak, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

I'm not Hua Tiandu's nemesis, but he is indeed a troublesome one.

Because of his intrusion, Fang Han, Hua Tiandu's nemesis, has fled overseas and become a notorious thief. The two don't know when they will meet again.

Li Chengqian didn't want to get entangled in this issue, nor did he want any conflict with Hua Tiandu for the time being. His mind was now entirely focused on Fengmo Peak.

The Emperor's Brush, the Heavenly Consort Umo.

The three hundred and three thousand Great Daos that the Human Emperor laughed at and the Heavenly Consort Wumo were minor matters. What he truly cared about was the unity of heaven and earth achieved through the Human Emperor's brush.

This is crucial for him to fully master the Azure Illumination Mirror, and even for him personally. He has refined the World Tree, which has become his foundation, but his plans extend beyond just refining the World Tree. He has now mastered the Great Refining Treasure Technique and intends to refine the World Tree into a celestial artifact. After reaching the Longevity Secret Realm, he plans to replace the World Tree's spirit and refine the World Tree into a celestial artifact in one fell swoop. Perhaps he can seize this opportunity to ascend to the Immortal Realm, just like the Mysterious Female Daoist.

However, many things were not as simple as he imagined. Just as he was preparing to head to Fengmo Ridge, something interrupted his plans.
