Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 268 A Riot of Flowers
On Mount Wuxian, a sword light tore through the darkness.

Inside the secret chamber, looking at the scattered green leaves, Lady Qinghua truly felt a sense of crisis.

If Jiang Chen's previous sword strike had dispelled her sense of contempt, then this sword strike truly made her feel a deadly threat.

"He actually mastered the sword light splitting technique, and it can even damage my spiritual consciousness."

Her power dissipated, her head throbbed with pain, and she let out a series of hissing sounds. Lady Qinghua's face was contorted with rage. Jiang Chen's sword light did indeed carry a strange, malevolent aura, which had damaged her separated spiritual consciousness with each strike. This was the fundamental reason why her Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flowers were so easily defeated.

At that moment, the sword light reappeared, and the Frost Moon Blade, like a bright moon, hung above the Five Immortals Mountain, completely dispelling the darkness.

"I did manage to injure the Green Serpent's consciousness by using the Corrosive Spirit Qi, but there seems to be a special power within her soul as well, otherwise that sword strike should have been able to injure her."

"Now let me see just how much more you're hiding."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen once again activated the sword light to split.

With the Golden Flowing Light Sword Technique as a starting point and his powerful divine sense, the differentiation of sword light was a natural progression for him.

With a whoosh, streaks of sword light appeared and shot down again, slicing through swathes of green bamboo.

Seeing this scene, Lady Qinghua's expression changed drastically. She knew that Jiang Chen was going to completely dismantle the defensive formation of the Green Serpent Palace. Once the formation was broken, she would be truly at a disadvantage.

"Damn it, first it was Frost Dragon, and now it's this Taoist of Peace. Is Qinghe County really cursed against me?"

Filled with resentment, Lady Qinghua mobilized her already limited spiritual power and quickly reinforced the great formation to block Jiang Chen's sword light.

In an instant, a verdant array of light appeared, enveloping the entire Green Serpent Palace and blocking the incoming sword light. However, the sword light was unpredictable, with spirit fish swimming around, constantly eroding the power of the array of light.

In just a moment, the array's light barrier showed signs of breaking. Although the Green Serpent Lady, a Dao Foundation cultivator, was present, the Green Serpent Palace's array was ultimately only at the first level, not yet at the second level, and could not withstand Jiang Chen's sword light at all.

Once the great formation is broken, the Green Serpent Demon in its current state will find it impossible to resist.

"It seems we really have no choice but to take a desperate gamble."

"Fine, I should have made up my mind long ago. To transform into a dragon with the body of a green snake is already going against the heavens, so how can I hesitate?"

Having made up her mind, Lady Qinghua's heart calmed down as she watched the sword light about to fall.

In the next instant, using a secret technique, Lady Qinghua spat a mouthful of her heart's blood onto the magical artifact, Green Leaf Flying Flower.

With a whoosh, blessed by the heart's blood of the Blue and White Flower Goddess, the green leaves and flying flowers instantly burst forth with dazzling spiritual light.

Seeing this scene, disregarding the groans of her internal foundation, Lady Qinghua began to perform a magic incantation.

"A profusion of flowers!"

With a solemn expression, Lady Qinghua pushed her power to its limit.

At this moment, the green leaves and flying flowers took root in the ground like true spiritual flowers. They then grew rapidly, and in an instant, the huge flower protected the entire Green Serpent Palace. At the same time, a beam of emerald light burst out from its body, sweeping across an area of ​​three miles.

Suddenly, a hundred flowers bloomed, transforming into a magnificent sea of ​​flowers centered around the Green Snake Palace.

After this sea of ​​flowers appeared, no matter how sharp Jiang Chen's sword light was, it could no longer harm the Green Serpent Palace in the slightest.

"Passing through a sea of ​​flowers without a single petal clinging to you?" Sensing the mystery of the flower sea, Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

Under his divine sense, he saw some of the mysteries of the sea of ​​flowers. The spiritual artifact transformed into a spiritual flower, rooted in the ground, connecting itself with the Five Immortal Mountains. It could not only continuously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but also had an extremely strong ability to transfer damage.

"To tear this sea of ​​flowers apart, one must possess overwhelming power; otherwise, one can only waste a great deal of time slowly wearing it down."

"However, the Green Snake paid a considerable price to create this sea of ​​flowers. If I'm not mistaken, she must have sacrificed her own serpent bloodline."

"That's fine too. Without destruction, there can be no construction. Perhaps this will be more helpful for her to transform into a dragon. Of course, if she fails, she will surely die."

Jiang Chen saw beyond the surface to the inner workings.

"I wonder if what I'll get in the end is the corpse of a Dao Foundation-level demon or a genuine dragon."

On a whim, Jiang Chen reached out and beckoned.

The next instant, the Frost Moon Blade hummed, and countless sword lights merged into one, returning to his hand. Since the Green Serpent had not yet transformed into a dragon, he was not in a hurry to pick the fruit and had no intention of wasting time here.

"From this day forward, this line shall be the boundary. Any monster that crosses this line shall be slain!"

His words were chilling. Jiang Chen pointed his fingers like a sword and casually slashed across the front of Five Immortals Mountain, leaving a sword mark that stretched for several miles.

Having done all this, Jiang Chen glanced once more at the Green Serpent Palace hidden deep within the myriad flowers, then rode away on a crane.

"Damn Frost Dragon, damn the Taoist of Peace, how dare they force me to this point!"

Seeing Jiang Chen leave, Qinghua Niangniang felt a wave of weakness inside the secret room.

At this moment, the Hundred Poisons Heart Foundation within her body was showing signs of disintegration. This was a sequela of her previous sacrifice of her own demonic serpent bloodline. If she did nothing, she might fall from the Foundation level in no time.

"I wish to transform into a dragon; if I fail, I will die!"

With a do-or-die attitude, Lady Qinghua used her secret technique to throw one flawed Dragon Transformation Pill after another into her mouth.

At this moment, her determination to transform into a dragon was stronger than ever before, because she had no way out. If she could not successfully transform into a dragon, she would surely die.

As for the toxicity contained in the defective Dragon Transformation Pill, if she can successfully transform, she can barely withstand it due to the special nature of her Hundred Poisons Heart Foundation. If she fails, then the toxicity is meaningless.

With a hum, the medicinal power erupted, and the snake's body was enveloped in a crimson glow, resembling a giant egg. Lady Qinghua fell into complete silence.
Outside, all was peaceful, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.

Long after Jiang Chen left, the once desolate Five Immortals Mountain began to stir again, and the demons hiding in the caves dared to peek out once more.

In the past, they rode the evil winds and roamed freely across mountains and rivers, so majestic and powerful, but today they have all become rats in the gutter.

"Invincible..."

Many demons shuddered as they looked at the sword mark in the distance. The sword mark was not deep, but it still made them fearful, not only because of the lingering sword energy, but also because it was left by the Taoist of Peace.

Ordinary demons only knew that the Taoist of Peace was very strong, and those who knew a little about the inside story were even more terrified, because they knew that the one who fought Jiang Chen before was the Lady of Green Flowers, a powerful Dao Foundation Demon with great supernatural abilities.

Under such circumstances, no demon dared to cross the sword mark even half a step, and didn't even have the thought of getting any closer.
