The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 181 Whirlpool Water Control
Rumble~~~
In the endless sky, a huge crack appeared in the firmament.

A massive black city suspended in the air shrank, and then the shrunken black city flew directly into the huge crack and disappeared.

"Huh? Are you leaving?"

Lei Zhan focused his mental energy to sense the black city that had flown into the huge rift within the Black Jade Great World, and was immediately stunned.

"Huh? The Wujian Sect has left?"

"gone?"

"The Celestial God of Remnant Clouds... escaped?"

The Heavenly Gods and Immortals, including the Red Snow God, the Silver Moon God, and the Black Axe God, were all taken aback. Under the influence of their consciousness, they quickly discovered the vanished black city.

That was the lair of the Heavenly Gods and True Immortals of the Wujian Sect in this Black Jade Great World. Now that their lair has disappeared, it is clear that the Heavenly God Canyun and the others have given up on competing for this great world.

"Fellow Daoist Black Axe, Fellow Daoist Xu Yan, and fellow Daoists. Now that the chaos in the Black Jade Great World has subsided, we are about to head to the Heavenly Chen Great World." Lei Zhan glanced around, a smile on his face.

The fact that Wujianmen fled directly only brought peace back to the Black Jade Great World. But it did not mean that this war was about to end.

At least, of the three great worlds originally designated, there is still the Tianchen Great World waiting for them to conquer!
Lei Zhan already had a plan in mind. Once he got his hands on the last Tianchen Great World, he wouldn't need to lift a finger for the rest.

With top-tier celestial gods and immortals like Red Snow Celestial God and Silver Moon Celestial God leading the Star-Picking Palace lineage, conquering one great world after another for him was a complete crushing victory.

Lei Zhan only needs to stay in the rear, and that will suffice.

"They're leaving already?" Immortal Xu Yan was taken aback. He looked at Lei Zhan curiously and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lei Zhan, are you going to continue your conquest of the Tianchen Great World?"

"Yes." Lei Zhan nodded. "Currently, the most intense fighting in the Three Realms is between the three great worlds of Ziyun, Heiqiong, and Tianchen. Now that the Ziyun and Heiqiong worlds have been pacified, this last great world naturally cannot be let go."

"Fellow Daoist Lei Zhan, are you going to the Tianchen Great World?" The burly man with messy hair carrying a giant axe lit up with excitement. "I, Black Axe, also wish to go to the Tianchen Great World. Perhaps I could join you fellow Daoists?"

"Fellow Daoist Black Axe?" A hint of surprise flashed in Lei Zhan's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He nodded and smiled, "Of course. Fellow Daoist Ziyang and the others are willing to follow us in our conquest of the Wujian Sect."

The group of True Immortal Ziyang consisted of the True Immortals from the Purple Cloud Great World who had not joined the Star-Picking Palace.

When they learned that Lei Zhan and his team would continue their conquest of the Black Jade World and the Heavenly Chen World, they were willing to follow them all the way.

Of course, these Celestial Immortals all have powerful backers and it's impossible for them to rejoin the Star-Picking Palace. Their willingness to follow Lei Zhan is simply because they want to kill more Celestial Immortals from the Boundless Sect.

"Very well." Black Axe God laughed loudly, "Then I, Black Axe, will follow Fellow Daoist Lei Zhan to continue the conquest of the Heavenly Chen Great World!"

……

Tianchen Grand World.

Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lei Zhan, along with the Celestial Gods and True Immortals of the Zhaixing Mansion lineage, as well as Black Axe Celestial God, Purple Sun True Immortal, and many other Celestial Gods and True Immortals, stayed in the Tianchen Great World for a full ten years.

Inside a palace, Lei Zhan, the Silver Moon God, the Red Snow God, and the Primordial Light God sat facing each other, drinking and talking.

“Junior brother. With the addition of twenty Celestial Gods from the Black Jade Great World, the Boundless Sect now has over forty Celestial Gods, yet they remain holed up in their lair. It's truly…”

The Silver Moon Goddess held a moon-white wine jar, drinking as she did so, but felt somewhat depressed.

Since they arrived in this Tianchen Great World ten years ago, the Heavenly Gods and True Immortals left behind by the Wujian Sect have remained in their lair, holding fast to their position.

They neither engaged in battle nor left immediately.

Instead, they built two more strongholds.

They formed a pincer-like formation, like nails firmly rooted in the Tianchen Great World.

Even when the Silver Moon God tried to provoke them, they remained holed up in their lair and never came out.

"His three main strongholds were almost all built using high-grade or even top-grade innate spiritual treasures as their foundation, making them practically like tortoise shells." The Red Snow Goddess also felt somewhat helpless.

"To completely break through, one would need at least the strength of a True God or Dao Ancestor. But after destroying their lair, those Heavenly Gods had already fled. And after a while, they returned again..."

With the addition of the Celestial God Canyun and a large number of Celestial Gods and True Immortals, each lair was guarded by more than ten Celestial Gods and True Immortals. Even when Lei Zhan went to sweep through, he gained very little without using his cultivation as a First-Class True Immortal.

“A top-grade innate spiritual treasure, or even a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure…” Lei Zhan shook his head and said, “Even if I release the Golden Flame of the Sun to destroy the lair of the Wujian Sect, it will still take at least ten breaths to completely destroy a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.”

"If it is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the time required will increase exponentially. Such a long time is more than enough for those celestial gods and true immortals hiding in their lair to escape."

Of course, there is a solution, which is to directly reveal the strength of the True God Ancestor!
Even a top-grade innate spiritual treasure would be quickly destroyed by the full force of the solar golden flames at the ancestral fire level.

But that would be pointless.

Or...

Lei Zhan looked up at the void, as if he could see that cold, supreme star.

"I haven't broken through to the True God level yet. If I can fully master the water control technique of the Whirlpool River after enlightenment, my Godhood will be able to control the Taiyin Profound Water." Lei Zhan pondered to himself.

"With the cooperation of the main body and the second primordial spirit, the ancestral water and ancestral fire jointly unleash the Yin-Yang Life and Death Wheel, which can completely sweep away even those with only the cultivation of a Heavenly God!"

Ancestral water and ancestral fire are both extremely terrifying powers. If they are combined, these two terrifying powers can almost annihilate everything below the level of an ancestral god!
"However, after my second primordial spirit broke through to the True God realm, I still came to participate in this great world competition, which has always been somewhat against the rules. Although the power I have always used is no different from that of the Heavenly Gods and True Immortals, if the Wujian Sect finds out, it will eventually become an excuse for the Wujian Sect to attack."

The second primordial spirit, the Three-Legged Golden Crow, cultivated to the level of a celestial god, and its ability to control the golden flames of the sun can be considered a sign of exceptional talent.

However, whether it is a three-legged golden crow or a human being at the level of a celestial god, being able to control the Taiyin Xuan Water is extremely rare.

Those powerful figures are not easily fooled. Especially the powerful figures of the Wujian Sect, they need to consider the reasons behind this.

It's important to know that even Fuxi, one of the three great leaders of the ancient human race, needed the aid of formations to barely control the power of ancestral fire and ancestral water. Let alone a celestial being or true immortal.

Even though this celestial being is a disciple of Bodhi and the Buddhist leader Tathagata. "However... I am currently undergoing enlightenment. If I can completely master the water control part of the divine power 'Whirling River,' I can also directly control the ancestral water..." Thousands of thoughts flashed through Lei Zhan's mind.

"At most, he'll only reveal his divine power, the Whirlpool River. And later, in front of numerous powerful beings, he can directly break through to the True God level..."

However, in the subsequent battles, Ruizhan originally planned to let Hongxue and the others act on their own... while Ruizhan himself could focus on enlightenment and developing the World Prison.

suddenly.

"Huh? This... you've figured it out?" Lei Zhan was taken aback.

……

The Great World of the Crescent Moon.

In the portable immortal palace.

Lei Zhan sat cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed, surrounded by countless mysterious auras. Endless streams of icy water flowed, surging and creating thousands of snow-white waves.

Meanwhile, within the vast Golden Core space, an inconspicuous black bead was also radiating endless light.

a long time.

All the streams of water vanished. And the entire quiet room returned to calm.

“Whirling River, Water Control…” Lei Zhan opened his eyes, his gaze as clear as water. “The Water Control Divine Power of Whirlpool River has finally been perfected.”

Lei Zhan wore a faint smile. After both his main body and second primordial spirit cultivated the "Eighteen Gods and Demons of Tao Wu," they devoted themselves to cultivation at five times the speed of time flow.

With several clones simultaneously comprehending the same method, even without relying on the black bead for enlightenment, Lei Zhan's cultivation of many methods has greatly improved.

However, due to the short time that has passed, although the supernatural power "Whirling River" has not yet reached the level of controlling the ancestral water, it has already stepped halfway into the threshold within a hundred years.

But now, even that last obstacle has completely disappeared.

Wow.

Then, another figure in black robes appeared in the quiet room.

“Since the gods and immortals of the Tianchen Great World are willing to cower in their shells, then I will have to break through your turtle shell.”

Lei Zhan spoke softly, and as soon as he finished speaking, the clone that had walked out also vanished without a trace.

……

In the endless chaos, there was a desolate star.

The area above the stars is desolate, but in this vast desert, there is a dilapidated thatched hut.

Several figures sat around the stone table in front of the thatched hut.

"Bodhi, your disciple killed more than ten Celestial Gods and True Immortals of my Wujian Sect, and the other Celestial Gods and True Immortals also died because of him. You still refuse to give in?"

The Wind Demon said with dissatisfaction, "You all let the three-legged golden crow, which can control the golden flames of the sun, go to compete for the Great World. What's the difference between this and a true god and Dao Ancestor going there personally?"

The sun's golden flames were incredibly violent.

Even if you were to face a true god or Dao ancestor, you would have to be extremely careful, or you could be burned alive.

Although it cannot unleash the full power of the solar golden flames under the control of the divine power of the gods, it still poses a great threat to ordinary true gods and Dao ancestors.

Even if they bestow upon the Dao Ancestor Puppet, whose powerful magical artifact body can withstand the golden flames of the sun, it cannot guarantee a sure victory.

Unless they are willing to hand over a Messenger of All Things to the gods and immortals for control.

However, top-tier puppets like the Messenger of All Things are far too precious. In some ways, their value is no less than that of a Chaos Treasure.

They are usually controlled by True Gods and Dao Ancestors. Under the control of top True Gods and Dao Ancestors, they can rival the level of leaders. Using them in the struggle for power in such a great world would be a complete waste of their talents.

Moreover, both sides are seeking peace, and things haven't reached that point yet.

"My disciple's ability to control the golden flames of the sun at the Celestial God level can only be described as exceptional talent! If someone on your side controls the Ancestral Water at the Celestial God level, would you also restrict them?" Patriarch Bodhi asked.

"Doesn't your Wujian Sect have three top-tier secret techniques? I remember during the ancient war, someone from your sect controlled the Ancestral Water."

"Ancestral Water..." Fengmo naturally knew that what Bodhi Patriarch was talking about was the supernatural power "Whirling River," one of the three great methods left behind by the Lord of Heart Demons.

However, this supernatural ability, whether it's the first part or the second part, requires talent.

While some have managed to master the first half of the cultivation and control the ancestral water, these powerful individuals are all established True Gods and Dao Ancestors. They can't even disguise themselves as Heavenly Gods or True Immortals, so naturally they wouldn't participate in the battle!

Master Huanmu shook his head helplessly, "Bodhi, you tell me. That's your disciple. What price do you need to pay to get Lei Zhan to agree to stop participating in the great war?"

"Hmm. Speak plainly! What price do you want to pay! My Wujian Sect is willing to coexist peacefully with you, but we will not be slaughtered!" The Demon Hand Dao Ancestor's eyes seemed to hold an endless sea of ​​blood.

In terms of killing prowess, she was number one in the Wujian Sect. She had once fought against the Goddess Nuwa for a long time. But in this negotiation, she had long been impatient.

If she hadn't been adrift in chaos for so long, she too would have longed for stability. She wouldn't be here patiently waiting for the outcome.

"The price..." Bodhi Patriarch glanced at Buddha Tathagata beside him, then at a nearly naked man beside him wearing only an animal skin skirt, with his black hair casually draped over his shoulders.

He pondered for a long time.

Patriarch Bodhi slowly said, "We'll stick to the price we agreed on before, but the quantity needs to be doubled!"
