From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 613 The Emperor's Pen Reaches the Heavenly Consort's Escape
Lanyue Peak is shrouded in clouds and mist, exuding an ethereal aura.

Li Chengqian and Fang Qingxue sat facing each other in a quiet room at the summit, sipping tea and discussing philosophy. At this moment, Fang Qingxue's face still had a faint blush, and her gaze towards Li Chengqian was gentle and shy.

Li Chengqian, however, wore a smug smile and casually recounted his insights into cultivation, especially shamelessly recounting the gains and losses of their recent dual cultivation session.

Outside the window, clouds drift and swirl, while inside, the aroma of tea wafts through the air, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

Just as they were getting into the conversation and Fang Qingxue was about to get angry, Li Chengqian's expression changed. He stood up and looked out the window.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"A visitor is coming."

"Guest?!" Fang Qingxue was startled. Suddenly, the void above Lanyue Peak rippled violently like water. A sharp and incomparable crystalline light, seemingly capable of tearing through the shackles of heaven and earth, ignored the layers of array restrictions surrounding it and pierced straight through like tearing thin paper, instantly appearing inside the quiet room!

The crystalline light receded, and the shadow of an ancient giant brush, over ten feet tall, with sharp nibs and flowing with the radiance of humanity and supreme sharpness, flashed and transformed into a dignified middle-aged man with a square face. It was none other than the Human Emperor Brush, the supreme treasure of the Three Sovereigns of ancient times!

However, at this moment, although the Emperor's Brush still exudes a terrifying majesty, there are faint traces of dimness on its brilliant crystal pen body, and its aura is slightly disordered, no longer as perfect as before.

"Senior Emperor's Brush?" A hint of surprise flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes as he rose to greet him. Fang Qingxue also rose, her cool eyes filled with a sense of solemnity.

The Emperor's Brush fixed his majestic gaze on Li Chengqian, his voice tinged with urgency and gravity: "Boy, something terrible has happened! The seal on Fengmo Ridge... has been broken! The demoness Wumo, the Heavenly Consort, has escaped!"

"What?" Li Chengqian frowned, surprised but not overly shocked. He pondered, "That day, I used my supernatural powers combined with the original restrictions to suppress her, thinking it was secure. But at that time, I was only at the Supernatural Power Realm, with limited strength. It seems I underestimated the methods of that Heavenly Consort Umo, or rather, the Divine Race paid a considerable price to save her." His gaze swept over the subtle marks on the Human Emperor Bibi's body. "Senior seems to have... experienced a fierce battle?"

The Human Emperor's Brush snorted coldly, its body trembling slightly and emitting a chilling aura: "It was a tough battle! The Divine Race has gone mad this time, actually sending nine Divine Emperor-level experts to launch a strong attack on the Sealed Demon Ridge! Among them are experts whose cultivation is comparable to the fifth level of the Longevity Realm, the Creation Realm! Although I relied on my sharpness to fight them off, I was outnumbered, and in addition, they used a secret technique to cooperate from the inside and outside, and in the end, they broke the seal and rescued the demoness Umona! Seeing that the situation was hopeless, I could only retreat for the time being."

It paused, its tone carrying a hint of warning, and looked at Li Chengqian: "Young Li, you need to be extra careful! You personally reinforced the seal that day, severely injuring her. With the vengeful and cunning nature of Tianfei Wumo, she will definitely come to seek revenge on you after she escapes! Although she has been sealed for many years and her strength has not recovered, her methods are still unpredictable and impossible to guard against."

Li Chengqian chuckled upon hearing this. "Her? After being sealed for so long, her strength is now less than a hundred times what it used to be. Do you think I'd be afraid of her? If she dares to come, I wouldn't mind suppressing her again. However, senior, the Divine Race's massive mobilization and all-out attack on Fengmo Ridge must be more than just rescuing Tianfei Wumo, right? While Tianfei Wumo is important, it's not enough to warrant them sending nine Divine Emperors at once. As far as I know, although the Divine Race is powerful and there are many Divine Emperors in the Longevity Realm, they all have important missions. Sending nine at once... could it be some major operation?" The Emperor's Pen paused slightly, a hint of approval appearing on the illusory face: "Your senses are quite sharp, lad. Indeed, according to my observations and fragments of divine thoughts from those few God-Emperors, it seems that not long ago, the River of Fate of all the heavens and myriad realms inexplicably trembled, the secrets of heaven fell into complete chaos, and the past and future were blurred. The high-ranking members of the God Clan believed this was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity and decided to launch the long-brewing calamity ahead of schedule! Rescuing the Heavenly Consort Umo is a key link in this process; her wisdom and influence are crucial for the God Clan to consolidate its forces and launch a general offensive."

At this point, he glanced at Li Chengqian again and said, "There's one more thing. Tianfei Wumo is an anomaly among the gods. The World Tree is no longer her nemesis. She can even cultivate with the help of the World Tree. So, you really have to be careful. She knows that the World Tree is on you, and she will definitely try every means to take it. If necessary, you should avoid her for the time being!"

"I should avoid her? Who does she think she is?" Li Chengqian raised an eyebrow, looking displeased. "If she wants to die, she can come over here."

Fang Qingxue spoke up at the opportune moment: "So, the Divine Race intends to take advantage of this disruption of celestial order to prematurely trigger a great calamity and attack the Xuanhuang Great World?"

"Exactly!" The Emperor's Brush said solemnly, "The calamity has begun, and war is about to break out. Although the Xuanhuang Great World is known as the world closest to the Immortal Realm, it has long since declined. The grudges between the Immortal and Demonic Paths are deep, and it is no longer the Xuanhuang Great World of yesteryear. With the strength of the God Race, they could have completely conquered it long ago. What they are worried about is nothing more than the power of the Immortal Realm."

Li Chengqian's eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Senior, now that Tianfei Wumo has escaped and Fengmo Ridge has been lost, you don't need to rush back. The Divine Race is powerful, and fighting alone is not a good strategy. Why don't you stay here on my Lanyue Peak, and we can join forces to resist the Divine Race's calamity? Although I am not very talented, I am confident that I can provide a safe place for cultivation, and we can learn from each other's great Dao."

The Human Emperor's Brush remained silent for a moment. It was inherently proud, but having experienced the siege by multiple God Emperors, it deeply understood the pain of being outnumbered and outmatched. Li Chengqian possessed boundless potential, his strength had grown terrifyingly, and he even carried the World Tree, a nemesis of the gods. Cooperating with him was indeed an excellent choice to deal with the great calamity. Moreover, it could sense the sincerity in Li Chengqian's words.

"Very well!" The Emperor's Brush finally nodded, its blade shimmering with crystalline light. "In the current situation, cooperation is mutually beneficial. I will linger here for a while and see just how much of a storm you can stir up in this great calamity!"

Li Chengqian clapped his hands and laughed: "I will certainly not disappoint you, senior!"

Immediately, Li Chengqian arranged a secluded cave deep within Lanyue Peak for the Human Emperor's Brush, drawing upon the spiritual veins and pure Yang energy within the peak for nourishment. The Human Emperor's Brush, without hesitation, transformed into a beam of crystalline light and entered the cave, beginning to absorb and release vital energy to repair the minor damage caused by the fierce battle, while simultaneously remaining vigilant for any external disturbances.

With the Emperor's Brush guarding Lanyue Peak, it's as if another pillar of strength has been added to stabilize the heavens and awe the world.

However, Li Chengqian did not spread the news of the arrival of the Human Emperor's Brush, after all, it was a good trump card, whether in dealing with the great calamity of the gods or in this trip to the Heavenly Martial Treasury.

Thinking of the Heavenly Martial Treasury, he felt a surge of excitement, after all, there were several treasures in that treasury that he coveted.
