Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 336 All parties gather together
The form of Xuanwu appeared, a giant tortoise with an incredibly hard shell covered in mysterious patterns.

A snake is coiled around the turtle's body. The snake is long and flexible, working in harmony with the turtle to display a balance of strength and gentleness.

The image of Xuanwu represents the fusion of Yin and Yang. The tortoise is Yin and the snake is Yang. For Madam Ji to be able to cultivate such a divine beast image is definitely a powerful supernatural ability.

The image of the Black Tortoise gathered above Madam Ji's head, radiating an astonishing aura that caused the dark clouds in the sky to melt away under its divine light.

"Damn it! This vicious woman actually cultivated the Xuanwu Dharma Form?"

The old man with the evil wind looked horrified, not expecting that this woman's cultivation had become so profound.

The Black Tortoise, along with the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger, are the four divine beasts of the four directions. In the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), they are guardian deities, unparalleled in both defense and attack!

With this action, the figure of the Evil Wind Elder was forced out from the dark clouds.

The guardian deities of the Xuanmen sect have a great restraint on demonic supernatural powers.

Seeing the dark clouds around the Evil Wind Elder dissipate and his true form revealed, Madam Ji immediately intensified her attack. Divine light shone from her palm, instantly condensing into a water dragon that roared and pounced straight at the Evil Wind Elder.

"Afraid of you?! 'Ninefold Frosty Wind'! Hurricane Froststorm!"

The old man with the evil wind was also enraged, and a fan appeared in his hand, which was his natal magic weapon, the "Black Feather Fan".

The fan flashed in the air, and instantly, a cold wind arose. In the howling wind, hailstones exploded in mid-air, bombarding Madam Ji...

Two peak Golden Core Realm experts engaged in a fierce battle in the void.

On the other side, Ji Shuhan seemed to have great confidence in his wife. Instead of standing by to support her, he moved swiftly and charged towards the three Golden Core Realm elders of the "Spirit Serpent Sect".

"Li Yunjing, you're in charge of protecting Miss Zixuan! I'll go assist Mr. Ji!"

At this moment, Yu Yuanhua could no longer stand idly by. After giving instructions to Li Yunjing, he arrived at the battlefield and shouted at the three members of the "Spirit Serpent Sect": "You three, you defected to the 'Mingxin Temple,' thinking you could get away with it? Today, I was going to deal with you!"

Ji Shuhan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Yu Yuanhua, and then looked relieved.

At first, he was puzzled and didn't understand why people from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" would appear here.

It turns out that the people from the "Shenxiao Daozong" discovered that the "Lingshemen" and "Mingxin Temple" were colluding with each other.

The powerful figures like the Two Immortals of the Azure Waves were naturally courted by the people of Mingxin Temple. However, since both of them were from the Xuanmen sect, their cultivation methods were inherently incompatible with those of Buddhism.

The benefits that Mingxin Temple could offer were insignificant to the two immortals of Bibo.

The two immortals of Bibo naturally rejected the Mingxin Temple's attempts to win them over. Of course, they didn't offend anyone from the Mingxin Temple either; they simply kept to themselves and went their separate ways.

The situation is different now. Yu Yuanhua's words were clearly meant for him, meaning that the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has taken notice of the situation in the East China Sea and is preparing to intervene to eliminate the hidden dangers.

At this point, Ji Shuhan naturally had some ideas.

After a little consideration, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" still had a greater chance of winning, and they were all from the Xuanmen sect. He had a good relationship with the people from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" before.

After careful consideration, Ji Shuhan believed that he should help Yu Yuanhua destroy the "Spirit Serpent Sect" and then negotiate with the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" to gain benefits.

Ji Shuhan and Yu Yuanhua, those two old foxes, didn't say anything more. Their tacit actions already indicated a certain degree of cooperation.

Li Yunjing, Xu Xun, and Ji Zixuan no longer had time to consider what the important figures above them were thinking.

Since the start of the war, the "Spirit Serpent Sect's" offensive has become even more ferocious.

Thousands of cultivators from the "Spirit Serpent Sect" emerged from all parts of "Poisonous Serpent Island" and surrounded them!

Now that they'd broken off all pretense of civility, the people from the "Spirit Serpent Sect" naturally had no intention of showing mercy. With so many people rushing at them, Li Yunjing and his group couldn't withstand the onslaught.

They had all reached the beach of "Snake Island" and were making a final effort. If they still couldn't hold out, Li Yunjing and his men would have to retreat into the sea and continue to deal with the situation.

"We'll board the 'Azure Cloud Boat' and use this treasure ship to outmaneuver them!"

The people from the "Spirit Serpent Sect" were arrogant and aggressive, and Li Yunjing could no longer withstand them, so he shouted.

"Hmm? You still have the Azure Cloud Boat?"

Xu Xun was taken aback, not expecting Li Yunjing to be so wealthy.

Ji Zixuan exclaimed, "Great! Release the airships and use them to blast them to smithereens!"

Looking at the little devil of the Ji family, Li Yunjing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Even at this point, the little witch is still baring her teeth and claws; doesn't she seem afraid at all?
How did the Two Immortals of the Azure Waves raise their children?
This kid is a complete brat, a spoiled brat!

Li Yunjing didn't have time to think much. He released his "Azure Cloud Boat," grabbed Ji Zixuan, and flew towards the newly enlarged "Azure Cloud Boat."

Beside him, Xu Xun moved, throwing out dozens of second-tier talismans as he flew up.

"Boom!"

So many talismans exploded among the disciples of the "Spirit Serpent Sect," killing dozens of people instantly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yunjing and his two companions boarded the "Azure Cloud Boat".

Li Yunjing, along with Xu Xun and Ji Zixuan, quickly arrived at the control room.

Li Yunjing immediately activated the power and fire control systems of the "Qingyun Boat".

"Boom!"

The "Azure Cloud Boat" was hit by three waves of attacks from the "Spirit Serpent Sect," causing the ship to rock and sway.

The Azure Cloud Boat was finally fully activated, and the Thunder Cannon was the first to be fired at the Spirit Serpent Sect members.

"Oh no! Quickly activate the Serpent Ship!"

"We'll also use our spaceships to engage them in a fierce battle!"

"Surround them for now, don't let their spaceship escape!"

……

The disciples of the "Spirit Serpent Sect" were also struggling to withstand the relentless bombardment of the "Heavenly Thunder Cannon" and were trying to dodge in all directions.

The aggressive demeanor from before has completely vanished.

After all, most of the disciples of the "Spirit Serpent Sect" are Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

These people were hit by the "heavenly thunder cannon," which blasted out entire groups of people, resulting in extremely tragic casualties.

The scene of corpses strewn across the field would chill even a cultivator to the bone.

When these people retreated slightly, Li Yunjing did not think of retreating. The "Azure Cloud Boat" was powerful enough, especially since his "Azure Cloud Boat" was an enhanced version.

Even if they encounter a Golden Core cultivator, they can handle it for a while.

Li Yunjing was naturally not afraid of the "Spirit Serpent Sect" members activating their so-called "Spirit Serpent Ship".

"Boom!"

The "Azure Cloud Boat" was like an angry hedgehog, with all its weapon systems activated, constantly firing in all directions.

Anyway, Li Yunjing has plenty of resources, including spirit stones, so let's go for it!
At worst, he could wipe out the "Spirit Serpent Sect," then go down and plunder some wealth to make up for the losses.

The continuous explosions killed seven or eight hundred members of the "Spirit Serpent Sect," leaving the remaining members utterly terrified and constantly retreating.

Just as the entire front was in retreat, one after another, "Serpent Ships" flew out from the island.

Many disciples of the "Spirit Serpent Sect" entered the "Spirit Serpent Ship" one after another and launched beams of emerald light attacks at Li Yunjing's "Azure Cloud Ship"!
"Boom!"

The air was thick with poisonous gas, and the venom was corroding the beach and seawater, making a hissing sound. If it weren't for the protective light shield on the "Qingyun Boat," it would have been corroded by the venom.

Meanwhile, Li Yunjing continued to fight back, and the energy furnace of the "Heavenly Thunder Cannon" glowed red as it was pushed to its limit.

A bolt of lightning pierced through the poisonous gas, passed through the protective shield of a "Spirit Serpent Ship," and landed directly in the middle of the ship, exploding in the process.

The powerful impact and debris swept up all the disciples of the "Spirit Serpent Sect" on the "Spirit Serpent Ship," leaving them either shattered to pieces or covered in injuries. Even a Foundation Establishment Realm expert at the eighth level had both legs blasted off his body.

The scene was truly horrific. Despite outnumbering the enemy, the "Spirit Serpent Ship" was easily destroyed. "Damn it! The 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect's' Heavenly Thunder Cannons are too powerful!"

"Yes! And that 'Azure Cloud Boat' seems to be different from the data we have!"

"Yeah! I also feel something's wrong, why can't we break through their defenses!"

"This is weird!"

"Could it be that the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' upgraded their warships?"

……

Faced with this situation, the members of the "Spirit Serpent Sect" discussed it amongst themselves, seemingly feeling quite helpless.

Some of the "Snake Ships" actually began to retreat, not daring to be within the attack range of the "Azure Cloud Ships," for fear of becoming the second warship to be destroyed.

"Hahaha! Junior Brother Li, your 'Azure Cloud Boat' has been upgraded? The normal 'Azure Cloud Boat' in my sect seems different?"

Xu Xun laughed and couldn't help but ask.

"It has indeed been upgraded! It cost me a full 400 million low-grade spirit stones!"

When Li Yunjing mentioned his car, he was somewhat proud and then explained the price he had paid.

"hiss……"

Both Xu Xun and Ji Zixuan gasped at the high price.

Ji Zixuan stared wide-eyed at Li Yunjing, who was constantly manipulating the fire control system and continuing to bombard the enemy, and asked in a crisp voice, "Hey, Li Yunjing, are you that rich?"

"Hey! This is all the wealth I have. All the spirit stones have been spent on this 'Azure Cloud Boat,' and I don't have any other money left."

Li Yunjing casually brushed it off.

He doesn't want anyone to know he's rich!
It's okay to flaunt one's strength in a high-profile way, but one should never flaunt one's wealth in a high-profile way. If others find out that he has so many spirit stones, and someone asks him to lend them spirit stones, should Li Yunjing lend them or not?
However, telling others that you have spent all your spirit stones and exchanged them for magical treasures eliminates this potential problem.

In the world of cultivation, unless the relationship is extremely good, it is impossible to ask someone to borrow a magic weapon!
This is one of the reasons why people don't repay loans.

In reality, the bigger factor is that if the magic weapon falls into the hands of outsiders and is studied, they might find some flaws, which would pose a huge hidden danger to the owner of the magic weapon.

Because it involves their privacy, very few people ask others to lend them their secrets.

Li Yunjing was the same way. He never inquired about the special treasures on Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi, let alone asked about their functions or played with them.

Sure enough, when Xu Xun and Ji Zixuan heard that Li Yunjing had spent all his spirit stones on the "Azure Cloud Boat," they showed disapproval.

Wasting so many external possessions and resources could negatively impact one's cultivation!

These two had no idea that Li Yunjing had plenty of resources and wouldn't hesitate to spend a little. A mere "Qingyun Boat" was nothing to him.

While the Azure Cloud Boat and the Spirit Serpent Ship were clashing, Ji Shuhan and Yu Yuanhua had already fought a fierce battle with the three Golden Core cultivators of the Spirit Serpent Sect.

The three Golden Core Realm experts of the "Spirit Serpent Sect" were all at the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm, not even comparable to Yu Yuanhua, let alone Ji Shuhan.

Before long, the three Golden Core cultivators from the "Spirit Serpent Sect" were seriously injured.

If the three hadn't stood together, forming a formation, they would probably have been killed one by one long ago.

After a brief exchange of blows, Yu Yuanhua held off the three opponents head-on, while Ji Shuhan moved with ghostly speed, instantly appearing behind a Golden Core Realm Level 3 cultivator.

How could Ji Shuhan possibly miss such an opportunity?
With a resounding "bang," the palm strike, its force condensed to its extreme, slammed heavily into the man's back like an iron rod, sending him plummeting from mid-air to the ground.

Ji Shuhan moved again, arriving beside the man. He grabbed him, lightly struck the man's head, and coldly said, "Fellow Daoist, please leave!"

"boom!"

The man's skull shattered, and his spirit had just escaped when Ji Shuhan reached out and grabbed it, pulling it into his folding fan.

"Third brother!"

"Brother, we can't hold on any longer! Let's all run for our lives!"

The remaining two Golden Core cultivators from the "Spirit Serpent Sect" couldn't help but shout out, their emotions a mixture of extreme excitement, fear, and resentment.

At this moment, Ji Shuhan sneered, "Want to leave now? Too late! My wife said that if I want you all to perish, you must leave in an orderly fashion."

"Amitabha! I didn't expect that friends from the Shenxiao Dao Sect would also be here!"

Just as the situation was turning against them, golden light shone brightly in the eastern sky, and chanting of Buddhist hymns filled the air. Master Huiguo of Mingxin Temple appeared. Even though many of his allies had been killed, this high-ranking Buddhist monk still had a smiling face and said, "Fellow Daoist Ba, you don't need to worry. I will hold off Fellow Daoist Ji, and you two will hold off Fellow Daoist Yu!"

As they were talking, Zen Master Huiguo, draped in a golden kasaya, appeared on the battlefield.

Zen Master Huiguo made hand seals and displayed a great Buddhist supernatural power, "The Great Supernatural Power of Subduing Demons with the Kasaya".

Suddenly, a golden kasaya flew out from the body of Zen Master Huiguo and, under the blessing of supernatural powers, immediately became enormous.

The cassock grew from one zhang to ten zhang, a hundred zhang, and a thousand zhang, radiating golden light as it pressed down on Ji Shuhan.

"I never expected that Zen Master Huiguo was so capable!"

Ji Shuhan laughed loudly, and suddenly a bright blue light shone from his body. With a roar, a blue dragon floated behind him, baring its fangs and claws, and tore at the golden kasaya!
"Impressive! Impressive! Fellow Daoist Ji's ability to roam freely in the East Sea is indeed well-deserved! Even I am terrified by such skill!"

Zen Master Huiguo still wore a smile, standing on his robe, his entire being like a towering mountain, exerting immense power and pressing down upon Ji Shuhan, as if to suppress him beneath the robe.

"What a magnificent robe! Mingxin Temple is indeed extraordinary; it's actually a mid-grade third-tier magic treasure!"

Seeing the extraordinary nature of the precious kasaya in Zen Master Huiguo's hand, Ji Shuhan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He also became extremely vigilant, carefully preparing to deal with this formidable enemy.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, you flatter me! It's just a minor technique, nothing compared to your 'Azure Dragon Supreme Technique'!"

Zen Master Huiguo smiled, as if they were not enemies, but old friends meeting again.

However, when Zen Master Huiguo started to act, he became much more ruthless. The pressure of that mountain pressed down, and even Ji Shuhan's figure was slowly descending towards the ground under such immense force.

"Ok?"

On the other side, in the void, Madam Ji, who was locked in a fierce battle with the Evil Wind Elder, couldn't help but worry about her husband with murderous intent in her phoenix eyes.

That bald monk Huiguo is truly skilled; he's so difficult to deal with, and he's brought a lot of trouble to his husband in no time.

"Heh heh! Madam Ji, you want to leave now? Too late!"

Seeing that Madam Ji was concerned about Ji Shuhan, the old man with the evil wind sneered repeatedly, fanning himself with his "black feather fan".

In the void, gusts of wind constantly surrounded Madam Ji, making it difficult for her to escape.

Especially the hurricane, which carried a strong demonic aura.

Amidst the demonic energy, countless evil spirits surged towards Madam Ji, seemingly intent on devouring her heart with a thousand ghosts.

"Hmph! Me, leave? Do you think that bald thief Huiguo can do anything to my husband? Today, I'll fight you to the death and see who survives!"

However, Madam Ji remained unconcerned and extremely assertive, using the Xuanwu to protect her, and occasionally unleashing the crystal ball in her hand to smash towards the Evil Wind Elder.

Meanwhile, Madam Ji had secretly hidden a "Soul-Devouring Needle" in her sleeve, looking for an opportunity to use it to ambush Old Man Evil Wind.

The "Soul-Devouring Needle" is as thin as a hair and inconspicuous. It contains a powerful weapon that is specifically designed to damage the soul of others. Even a Golden Core cultivator would experience intense pain if hit by it.

If the sneak attack succeeds, it will inevitably cause Old Man Xie Feng to be careless. At that time, Madam Ji will naturally gain the upper hand and kill him by sneak attack!

"Heh heh! You bitch, you want to fight to the death? Wait a minute, Master Huiguo will make you a widow first! I'll deal with you slowly with the master later!"

The old man with the evil wind was unaware of Madam Ji's sinister scheme and was still gloating because reinforcements had arrived.

"You old devil, I'll teach you a lesson for your foul mouth! Just wait, when I catch you, I'll skin you alive, tear out your soul, torture you for a hundred years, and then annihilate you to ashes, never to be reincarnated!"

Madam Ji's face grew increasingly cold.
