Cursed Mountains and Seas

Chapter 188 Turbulent Times, Rejuvenating Immortal (Seeking Votes)

"The way to fight is to strike from the highest heavens to the deepest earth."

The Nine Heavens are represented by the Azure Dragon in spring, the Vermilion Bird in summer, the White Tiger in autumn, and the Black Tortoise in winter. These four deities constitute the Nine Heavens, and their counterpart is the Nine Earths!

It is now late April, the time of spring, and the Azure Dragon of the Four Symbols is located in the Nine Heavens.

Countless celestial soldiers and generals clad in silver armor gathered in formation, and amidst a surge of divine light, a gigantic, shimmering silver dragon swooped down from the heavens.

At this moment, the Yellow Turban Warrior had only flown halfway when he saw this and transformed into a golden-armored divine general.

His face was as red as jade, and his beard as black as velvet. He seemed to have a hundred-foot-tall stature and the strength to defy the heavens.

Beside the yellow turban, a golden ring shines with the sun's rays; in the middle of the embroidered robe, iron armor is covered with frost and swallows the moon's shadow.

Rumble.
The two colossal beings collided with a deafening roar, accompanied by rolling thunder and occasional clashes of weapons. Every now and then, the ghostly soldiers of the temple army, formed from the ink and fragrance of the world in this book, would fall from the sky with screams.

Before it even hit the ground, it returned to its original state and vanished without a trace.

"Something's wrong."

"Master Luo is ultimately two levels below the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden."

Everyone on the ground could see that although Master Luo was half the owner of this book, his Yellow Turban warriors were clearly at a disadvantage.

The Yellow Turban warriors, empowered by the unique formations of the world within the book, were no match for the heavenly soldiers and generals empowered by the secret military manual, "Yin Fu Jing: Nine Heavens Striking Nine Earths."

The longer it goes on, the greater the losses will be.

They will probably be utterly annihilated in less than a quarter of an hour, and their accomplices will also meet a terrible end.

"Alas, I have been holding the first three volumes of Water Margin for a full ten years, yet I never discovered that they contained the military strategy of the Yellow Emperor."

In the end, it all fell into the hands of a mere young woman, who now controls this old man. How cruel is Heaven to me?!

The people at Fengzhou Mountain were so popular they were rambling incoherently.

This "Loyal and Righteous Water Margin" was clearly his treasure, but because the beautiful white-clad girl, who was unlike any other, naturally matched the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, it turned out to be someone else's reliance to restrain him.

They even easily took a cooked duck from his pot—one of the most precious military strategies in the world—his heart was practically bleeding.

He completely failed to consider that those civilian officials who were captured by him to decipher the treasure map paid the price with their lives, and whose labor results were taken away by him without compensation. They were far more pitiful than him.

“You lowly servant! Even though you have the status of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden in the book, you are neither a novelist nor a scholar. How much of the literary and scholarly atmosphere can you convey with your own cultivation?”
"Eat my Five Thunder Heavenly Gang Righteous Law!"

Master Luo rose into the air on a cloud and rushed straight towards A Xiao, who was perched high in the clouds.

He unleashed his ultimate technique, the Five Thunder Heavenly Gang Orthodox Method, merging the five energies within his chest with the five external energies, and unleashing thunder from his hands, bombarding Ah Xiao relentlessly.

Rumble.
Ah Xiao remained calm and gave a cold snort:
"You dare to show off your meager skills before an expert?"

High above the heavens, controlling thunder and lightning. Summoning the three realms, issuing decrees to carry out executions. God of the Nine Provinces, the deity of blood offerings. Assisting in the balance of Yin and Yang, roaring the heavens with a thunderous voice. Hasten, hasten, as the law commands!

The secret and orthodox method, "Cloud Manipulation and Rainbow Cutting," was originally the signature skill of the dragon. After becoming a "Dragon's Heir," he obtained the "Nine Provinces Order Register," a skill that allows him to manipulate celestial phenomena, making him even more powerful.

With a wave of her hand, a fierce wind arose in the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

Thick, lightning-like snakes roamed through the clouds, not only engulfing the lightning magic but also relentlessly striking down more than a dozen bolts of lightning after Master Luo.

Although most of the damage was blocked by his substitute gourd, his Taoist robe was covered in charred holes, and he was emitting black smoke.

However, this also allowed him to successfully close the distance to within ten zhang.

"Haha, you've fallen for it!"

This book is ultimately my sacred space. I have no say in which role you take on, but if I were to sacrifice my own role, I would gladly strip a certain character of theirs.

Break it for me! "

He suddenly crushed the talisman on his body.

The sound of churning ink echoed from the depths of the void around them, and all of nature was instantly stripped away, transforming into a black and white world composed of written ink marks.

The golden-threaded crimson silk robe, the blue jade belt and long skirt, and the nine-dragon cloud bed that belonged to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden on A Xiao's body also vanished without a trace, replaced by the fragrance of ink and paper.

He plummeted downwards from the heavens.

She frowned slightly, summoned Yunni for protection, and flew away into the distance, only to find that the layer of black and white ink was still covering her body and was impossible to get rid of.

The novelist's inspiration from the seventy-two pentads is "reality and illusion".

The world in the book is a turbulent sea to others, and only a boat can navigate it.

But novelists are different; they are fish themselves, able to swim freely between reality and fantasy.

At this moment, Fengzhou Shanren, a fourth-rank novelist, forcibly pulled Yunxiao from the "shore" into the "water" at the cost of temporarily abandoning his identity as Luo Zhenren.

She was stripped of her identity as the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and restored to her original fifth-rank [Pearl-Gathering Maiden].

Fengzhou Shanren, being of a higher rank, was less affected by the loss of the buff. His own fourth-rank strength was enough to suppress Yunxiao, who had been reduced to her original form.

A-Xiao landed lightly on the roof of the Gathering Hall. Jiang Wenyuan, a fifth-rank Confucian scholar, and Miao Jing, a fourth-rank nun from Mount Tai, surrounded them with a group of officials from the Guishan Academy who had just been scared out of their wits and were now furious.

"I'm so scared of this little wench, I'm going to teach her a lesson today!"

"How dare you impersonate the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden! This humble nun will smear your face!"

The Dragon Girl's expression remained unchanged, treating them as mere weeds, and she calmly began to perform the Nuo dance.

Her skirt billowed up, and the silver bells on her fair ankles rang out with each step, their ethereal sounds blending with the rhythm of her hands to create a strange melody.

The singing, the ringing of bells, and the sound of footsteps rose and fell together, solemn and sacred yet with an indescribable ethereal quality, instantly ascending to the heavens.

Gradually, Ah Xiao transformed into a delicate puppet devoid of her soul, being manipulated by an invisible hand to sing and dance.

It looks like he's shaking his head, but he's actually shaking someone!
Finally, a cold, drawn-out summons echoed throughout Liangshan:

"May all the generals under Lady Yan's command respond to this call and protect all living beings!"

This time, she wasn't asking the uncles and elders under the Heavenly Consort's command, but rather her own true form, Lady Yan.

The fundamental Shinto doctrine of "offering rites" states:

"You have always worshipped your own body and your own spirit. When you go out, you are surrounded by stars and beauties. Who can compare to your piety?"

But have you ever looked to yourself?
Have you asked me for something?
In spiritual practice, seeking divine intervention is less important than relying on oneself!

Yan Yunxiao is both a dragon god and her own temple keeper, and she worships herself every day.

No one has a better understanding of the law of offering.

Matters of the living world are governed by the living; matters of the dead are governed by ghosts and gods.

Now it is a struggle between mortals, not evil spirits causing trouble. Under the strict control of the "Female Qingtian Law", those water spirits and gods who are embedded in the Great Wall of Curses as bricks cannot directly interfere.

However, where there are rules, there are loopholes. Although the temple soldiers under his command cannot directly intervene, they can freely transfer them among the ghosts and gods of the same pantheon.

Yan Yunxiao is both a goddess and a living dragon girl. The Grand Steward Yan first used the name of ghosts and gods to mobilize troops for her, and then let her use the name of living people to wage war against the outside world, thus slightly circumventing the law.

This is the charm of "transshipment crabs" and "entrepot trade"!
When Shen Yueye first entered the fifth rank, she only managed to train a mere few dozen Fire Fox Soldiers with ordinary combat strength.

Meanwhile, Yan Yunxiao, who had also recently broken through her seal and been promoted, already commanded a thousand ghost soldiers—the "Gao Li Ghosts"—a special product of the Tianfei religious belief.

"Follow the order!"

A shout resounded through the sky, a chilling wind arose in the arena, and out of thin air appeared a group of ghost soldiers clad in iron armor, wearing ghost masks, and riding ghostly steeds.

Gao Li Gui has a bronze head and an iron forehead, and can shoot sand in the shadows. His combat power is even greater than that of Wu Feng Xuan and Hai Zhu Gui.

"kill!"

The cavalry galloped forward, shaking the earth and mountains.

At this moment, the Fengzhou Mountain Man opposite him also transformed back into the scholar dressed in white mourning clothes he had been at the beginning.

He was the son of a top official, and his sister married Xu Shaohu, the son of Grand Secretary Xu. He formed a firm political alliance with Grand Secretary Xu and was an absolute backbone figure in the Qingliu gentry lineage.

Last year, in the 39th year of the Shaozhi reign, his father, Wang Yu, was framed and executed by the Yan faction. Even Qi Hu, the famous figure among the "Yu Long Qi Hu" (a group of famous figures), wrote a poem in mourning for him.

His family was naturally very wealthy, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned hundreds of temple soldiers and ghost warriors who had been supported by his family for generations.

Unfortunately, even a family with generations of officials could not compare to a monster like the Yan family, whose members all lived longer than dynasties.
The difference between those who studied hard for ten years and their family is as great as the difference between them and the Yan family!
"Master Miaojing, come with me!"

However, their side ultimately had two fourth-rank officials, one fifth-rank official, and over a hundred divine officials. If they all rushed forward, they wouldn't have to worry about not being able to capture Yan Yunxiao.

At this moment, the river is indeed high and the waves are turbulent, with treacherous winds and waves.

To make matters worse...

Before the outcome was decided, a large hole suddenly exploded in the void, revealing the blood-red sky outside, which was scorched by fire.

Blood mist swirled around the edge of the cave entrance, emitting a sizzling, corrosive sound.

A young boy dressed in a blood-red Taoist robe and carrying a blood-red banner bursts into the world of the book.

Behind him followed Zeng Yiben, the "mechanic" whose wanted posters had already spread throughout the twenty-four coastal guards, as well as numerous fierce-looking pirates wielding knives and guns.

"It's him!"

Wang Cheng, who was watching from afar, had his pupils shrink.

The one who led a large group of pirates to raid the coast ahead of his own reinforcements was actually the mixed-race child born to Wang Cuiqiao and Mao Haifeng!
The boy's eyes were bloodshot. He scanned the crowd, regarding everyone as if they were pigs and sheep, and then fixed his gaze on Ah Xiao, licking his lips.

"What good luck! This celestial being originally came for the blueprints of the Heavenly Craft Treasure Ship, but I didn't expect to receive such an unexpected surprise."

Although this woman is in human form, she possesses a rare and superior dragon soul within her body.

"You're perfect for being the main soul of this Blood Soul Banner!"
