Chapter 179 Azure Netherfire, Three Encounters with Sacred Beasts
"Luo Qing, how many innate supernatural abilities have you mastered?" Fang Heng asked in a deep voice, full of curiosity.

Those with extraordinary innate immortal roots, like Luo Qing and Tao Yao, must possess unique innate supernatural abilities.

The spirit peaches cultivated by Taoyao have many wonderful uses, so what about Luoqing?
Luo Qing's expression was calm, like an untainted fairy, as she spoke softly.

“Master, my first innate divine ability is called Azure Netherworld Purifying Fire.”

With that, Luo Qingyu flipped her hand, and a ball of transparent flame appeared in her palm.

This transparent flame, mixed with a bluish light, gave people a feeling of warmth rather than scorching heat.

As the flames flickered, even a restless heart seemed to be calmed down.

In an instant, Fang Heng realized that Luo Qing's Azure Netherworld Fire seemed to have the effect of suppressing inner demons.

Luo Qinglan exhaled lightly and said calmly, "Master, my Azure Netherworld Purifying Fire can not only suppress inner demons and cleanse the soul, but also absorb divinity and remove demonic thoughts."

Upon hearing that the Azure Netherworld Fire could dispel demonic thoughts from divinity, Fang Heng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, his face showing deep surprise.

This has the same effect as the God-Slaying Formation.

They can all purify the demonic thoughts within divinity!
Thinking of this, Fang Heng's expression turned strange.

The Ghost Gate lineage seeks to use divinity to cultivate guardian deities for their own purposes.

The White Lotus lineage is no less adept, cultivating the Azure White Lotus in an attempt to purify the demonic thoughts within divinity.

What is this intended to do?
Are you rebelling against Tiangang?
There are quite a few traitors in the worship of gods!
Fang Heng shook his head, thinking to himself.

Although the God-worshipping sect has sided with an extraterrestrial evil god, not everyone in it truly believes in that extraterrestrial evil god.

They simply regard extraterrestrial evil gods as the source of their power.

If given the chance, it wouldn't be a bad idea to retaliate.

This wasn't the first time Fang Heng had encountered a divine being with this kind of mentality.

"Luoqing, who mentored you back then? Was it someone from the White Lotus lineage?" Fang Heng asked softly.

Luo Qing nodded slightly and said calmly, "Master, I was raised by the ninth leader of the White Lotus Sect."

"His original intention in raising me was that I could replace the Eternal Mother and become the deity worshipped by the White Lotus lineage."

Upon hearing this, Fang Heng was both surprised and unsurprised.

Unsurprisingly, there are traitors within the White Lotus faction.

Surprisingly, the ninth generation leader of the White Lotus sect is going to such lengths, actually wanting Luo Qing to replace the Eternal Mother.

If he were to succeed, the entire land of China would likely be transformed.

However, it is clear that the other side failed.

"How did he fail?" Fang Heng asked curiously, showing great interest in the events of that year.

Luo Qing tilted her head and said in a somewhat uncertain tone.

"As far as I can remember, it seems that before he started the plan, he intended to have a divine revelation to communicate with the Eternal Mother, as if he was preparing a backup plan."

"Later, after that divine revelation, he went mad."

"He was muttering about the great calamity of the end times."

"When the others in the White Lotus Sect saw that he had gone mad, they joined forces and overthrew their leader."

"After that, I also fell into a deep sleep until you, Master, woke me up again."

The Great Calamity of the Dharma-Ending Age!

Hearing this, a shadow fell over Fang Heng's heart.

Fang Heng dared not underestimate the great calamity of the end times that Luo Qing spoke of, nor did he think it was a joke.

Judging from the methods of the ninth leader of the White Lotus Sect, it is clear that he was an absolute tyrant.

It's clear that something extraordinary could drive someone like that mad.

Fang Heng frowned. Seeing Luo Qing's innocent appearance, it seemed that she didn't know much either.

Perhaps they heard clues from the rumors and gossip of the ninth cult leader.

After calming himself down, Fang Heng continued to ask.

"Besides the Azure Nether Flame, what other innate supernatural abilities do you possess?"

"Master, Luo Qing's second innate divine ability is called Jade Lotus Body. It absorbs divine essence, and each time a section of jade lotus root is formed, it can transform into an avatar with 80% of the original body's strength," Luo Qing said casually.

However, her casual words startled Fang Heng, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly asked.

Is there a limit to the number of incarnations?

Luo Qing shook her head, her face full of innocence.

"Master, there is no limit!"

"As long as there is enough divinity, jade roots can be produced continuously."

Upon hearing this, Fang Heng's pupils constricted sharply, and he couldn't help but gasp.

An incarnation without limits!
How similar this is to the gods?
Why are innate deities regarded as guardian deities?
It's just that the Divine Path excels in the method of incarnation, and its cultivation of incarnations, in terms of both quantity and quality, far surpasses other cultivation methods.

Furthermore, the gods have long lifespans, even surpassing those of the Taoists who are skilled in health preservation.

This allows the gods to act as protectors for generations of disciples, making them perfect beasts of burden... no, perfect protectors.

However, Luo Qing's skill in cultivating avatars gave Fang Heng a different perspective.

Immortal roots also possess long lifespans. For example, the inexhaustible divine tree left behind by the Great Qian Emperor has lived for ten thousand years, and there is no sign of it reaching the end of its lifespan and passing away.

Luo Qing's background is in no way inferior to that of the Endless Divine Tree; it has lived for tens of thousands of years with ease.

Furthermore, Luo Qing is also skilled in the art of transformation, doesn't that mean...?

Luo Qing is also a working-class person destined by fate... a guardian deity!

Fang Heng's eyes flickered twice, and his own plan for a guardian deity emerged in his mind.

but……

With Luo Qing currently only at the fifth realm, she is still far from becoming a protector.

The Guardian God Plan can only be officially put on the agenda after Luo Qing advances to the tenth realm.

……

Daishan Secret Realm.

A remote courtyard.

A young girl in white, with an ethereal and otherworldly air, like a rare orchid in a secluded valley.

The hem of the white dress was pulled up, revealing her delicate, pink calves that looked like jade lotus roots.

A pair of crystal-clear jade feet lightly touched the water's surface, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Suddenly, the girl in white seemed to sense something, and her aura trembled.

A series of cracking sounds erupted from the pond in the courtyard, splashing water that reached a height of about ten feet.

The white-clad girl's aura surged, her delicate brows furrowed, and her clear, bright eyes revealed deep horror.

The intensity of the shock was so profound, it seemed almost tangible, as if it were flowing out of the pupils.

"The Holy Lotus has been born."

"how is this possible?"

"Our religion has been unable to cultivate a sacred lotus for over 100,000 years, how could this be..."

The girl was unable to finish her sentence, as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed her by the neck.

The birth of the Azure Lotus was completely unexpected.

In particular, who brought the Azure Lotus into the world?
The Azure Lotus disappeared in the plum garden and its whereabouts have been unknown ever since. It was initially thought to be an accident, entirely due to Nangong Miaoyin's incompetence.

Now it seems that things are probably not as simple as she thought.

Since the other party was able to bring forth the Azure Lotus, it was clearly a scheme orchestrated by them in the Plum Garden that caused Nangong Miaoyin to fail.

The other party's goal was undoubtedly to obtain the Azure Lotus.

Taking a deep breath to suppress her shock, the girl in white's eyes became clear and serious.

With a wave of her hand, a black figure appeared behind the girl in white.

If the Prince of Zhenbei were here, he would surely recognize this black-clad figure as the trusted advisor who had betrayed him and forged the letter.

"Tanuki, notify Liu Nanyuan and tell her to find the whereabouts of the Azure Lotus as soon as possible."

"Don't pretend to be a courtesan, don't actually think of yourself as one."

……

On the other side, the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau).

Liu Nanyuan, disguised as Guan Guan and moving among high-ranking officials and nobles, received a message from the raccoon dog, and her expression changed slightly.

"Young Master Xu, Guan Guan is not feeling well today and cannot serve you."

"It's alright, it's alright, your health is the most important thing!"

Young Master Xu revealed a lecherous look, clearly infatuated with Guan Guan. He would probably gladly have his heart and soul ripped out.

Guan Guan returned to her room looking sickly. After dismissing the servants, her pretty face instantly changed color.

"Gu Youlan, you've gone too far."

"The Azure Lotus has been born? You actually came up with such an outrageous excuse!"

"The Azure Lotus has been silent for over 100,000 years, how could it possibly be born?"

"If it could be born, our sect would have cultivated the Azure Lotus long ago."

"You're just using your position to settle personal scores!"

An angry look appeared on Guan Guan's pretty face, and she gritted her teeth, clearly hating Gu Youlan to the extreme.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do anything about Gu Youlan.

She herself was a candidate for sainthood, while Gu Youlan was the true sainthood.

The word "candidate" made her inherently inferior to Gu Youlan.

Gu Youlan then used the righteousness of the White Lotus Sect to pressure Guan Guan, making it impossible for her to disobey.

"Humph--"

"We've investigated almost everyone in Meiyuan, except for a few people who haven't been investigated yet."

Guan Guan's angry eyes flashed.

During the days she disguised herself as a courtesan, she didn't do nothing.

Besides seducing the sons of high-ranking officials and nobles and recruiting them into the White Lotus Sect.

She had investigated most of the people who had participated in the plum garden project.

However, the whereabouts of the Azure Lotus have not yet been found.

Then, with a flick of her jade-like hand, she took out a list of names from the Plum Garden. Her solemn eyes scanned the names on the list in the flickering candlelight.

Finally, it came down to the three words "Ninth Prince".

"Fang Heng, I remember his master, who was exceptionally infatuated with me."

"This is indeed a point we can exploit."

Guan Guan murmured to herself, a plan forming in her mind.

……

the other side.

The quiet room of the Prince's Mansion.

After enlightening Luo Qing, Fang Heng flipped his right hand and took out a jade bottle.

Upon opening the jade bottle, a rich aura of wealth surged into the sky, filling the space beneath the roof.

If the Pixiu were here, it would be overjoyed, for this is the Heavenly Fortune Pill it has been dreaming of.

These Heavenly Blessing Pills were taken by Fang Heng from the Sword Palace's treasury.

The Sword Palace has been stationed in the Cloud Soaring Sword Pavilion for over 100,000 years, and a large portion of the treasures produced in the Cloud Soaring Sword Pavilion have fallen into the hands of the Star-Robed Boy.

For example, if Fang Heng could find a Heavenly Prosperity Golden Fruit, then the Star-Robed Boy could naturally do the same.

Over the years, the amount of Tianlu Golden Fruit he has accumulated far exceeds that of Fang Heng.

And he refined them all into the Heavenly Fortune Forging Pill.

Looking at the Heavenly Prosperity Forging Pill in the jade bottle, Fang Heng's lips curled up slightly, and his brows relaxed involuntarily.

These Heavenly Blessing Pills were his means of controlling the Pixiu.

Within the Heavenly Sword Palace, he only needs to summon the Sword Palace, and he is absolutely confident that he can suppress Li Qingya on that day.

However, Fang Heng did not choose to take action.

Because the relationship between the other party and the Qiankun Sect is complicated.

Fang Heng did not want to confront the Qiankun Sect head-on so soon without being absolutely certain of success.

As for what exactly the Qiankun Sect's scheme is.
After saying that, Fang Heng looked toward the Pixiu Cave in Nanshan.

Pixiu, an ancient creature that has lived for tens of thousands of years, certainly knows a great deal.

He not only intended to inquire about Li Qingya, but also about the Great Tribulation of the End of Dharma that Luo Qing mentioned.

With the Heavenly Blessing Pill in hand, Fang Heng boarded a carriage and headed towards Nanshan.

This time, the Pixiu seemed to sense the treasure in the storage bag, and without Fang Heng's notification, it opened the cave door and let him in.

"Junior Fang Heng greets Senior Sacred Beast!"

"Without further ado."

"It's so long-winded and not enjoyable at all."

"I can smell the scent of the precious pill."

Seeing the Pixiu's impatient appearance, Fang Heng flicked his finger, and a Tianlu Forging Pill shot out.

All you could see was the Pixiu opening its huge mouth and sucking the pill into its mouth with a crunching sound.

"Kid, stop hiding your true intentions."

“You have more than just this one Heavenly Fortune Forging Pill in your possession.”

Hearing the Pixiu's urging, Fang Heng was not in a hurry. Instead, he sat down and said slowly.

"Senior, please don't be in a hurry. I have something I would like to ask you."

Seeing Fang Heng's calm and composed demeanor, the Pixiu became immediately annoyed.

He knew that this kid was very cunning, and it wouldn't be so easy to get him to obediently hand over the Heavenly Fortune Forging Pill.

"Humph--"

"Boy, which of my treasures have you set your sights on this time?"
