Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 459 Vanguard Emerges from Seclusion
It has been almost a hundred days since Leifeng Pagoda was thrown into the array space, and no one in the entire Qiantang has noticed.

The tower's projection stands steadily on the shore of West Lake, visible as soon as you look up.

However, every time they approached, they were driven away by some inexplicable force.

Xu Xuan also presented a token before entering the room.

I was immediately choked by the murderous aura as soon as I entered.

The light and shadow flicker before my eyes; this is no longer the human world.

The golden Leifeng Pagoda still radiated a warm Buddhist light, but it appeared so small under the cover of dark clouds and malevolent energy. A huge vortex of spiritual energy in the sky poured down like a funnel, causing the wind and clouds to surge within the array space.

just
These are not clouds; above the vast sky, dark clouds obscure the sun, their ink-black color like ink spilled from a pool, blotting out the sky and plunging the world into darkness, reversing yin and yang. They blanket the land, causing all living things to tremble and dare not make the slightest move.

This energy was not mere air; it was a murderous aura emanating from the earth, like frost congealing, causing all things to lose their color. It contained boundless malevolent energy, rolling in with terrifying force, chilling the heart and terrifying the soul.

Seriously:
The pagoda was repaired in mid-August, severing the connection between the immortals and the lineage of destiny

They only knew that sword cultivators had difficulty entering the Dao, but they didn't understand this...
Xu Xuan hurriedly shook his head. What kind of time is this to be using such strange phrases? This is clearly not normal.

They hurriedly went to find the White Lady outside the tower to ask what was going on. Even in this situation, she hadn't sent a message. Suppressing demons is our job.

"It's nothing, just some unusual phenomena at the Heavenly Gate of the Dao."

The Holy Father was shocked. You call this a few unusual signs? When we entered the Tao, we simply slept peacefully, and it is said that there was incense burning around us.

Besides, even if there are extraordinary phenomena, they are usually things like a magnificent hall, a Qilin descending to earth, or a divine tortoise floating on water. There are no dark clouds covering the sky and obscuring the sun.

Is this the path to enlightenment?!
It's clear that a demon is about to be born.

After listening to all this rambling, Bai Suzhen gave her a look that said, "You have no knowledge."

He explained to Xu Xuan how exaggerated the extraordinary phenomena of many famous figures were. Not to mention the boundless light illuminating the three thousand worlds, it was common for the four seas to surge and the heavenly palace to tremble.

Seeing that the human Xiao Xiu was somewhat skeptical, he brought up a recent example.

"Do you know the White Lotus Mother?!"

Geek!

The Holy Father was horrified! Was he about to expose our identities?!

"A few years ago, when it reappeared in the world, it used its divine soul to look down over the Chinese mainland and declare its existence. That was a grand scene, and the minds of many human peaks were directly shaken."

"Compared to this, Yingqi's commotion is nothing."

The Father remained silent.

Ah~~~~ Oh, I see. Then it's alright.

Then he waited patiently outside.

The next day, when lightning appeared at the top of the tower, they knew that Li Yingqi's path to enlightenment was about to end.

Dark clouds and malevolent energy poured into the tower.

When the essence returns to its proper place, the blood flows like a mighty ocean.

Vital energy descends. All the orifices sparkle like countless stars.

With their spirits united, the sword's shadow pierced the heavens, radiating brilliant light.

The dazzling light dispelled the previous scene of destruction, as if nothing had ever happened.

Thunder roared over the Qiantang River once again, but this time even the vegetable vendors weren't interested in looking up.

Everyone just found it noisy.

Upon seeing this, Bai Suzhen dispelled the magic formation and returned Leifeng Pagoda to its original position.

The tower opens and people appear.

The young heroine stepped out of the door, and she was completely different.

Her hair was adorned with a jade hairpin, and she wore a brocade robe. Two tiger-tendon sashes bound her waist, subtly revealing a sliver of her battle skirt. Her phoenix-beak boots gleamed coldly, and her dragon-whisker knee-length trousers were embroidered with gold and iron. Her body resembled a precious sword, her aura imposing, her fierceness surpassing even that of a demon.

In just one hundred days, it felt like she had grown up several years, and she looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

The heroic spirit in his eyes and brows was even sharper than Xiaoqing's. Whether he looked good or not is another matter, but he definitely looked like a formidable fighter.

"Thank you for protecting us, my two senior masters."

Bai Suzhen nodded, glancing at the woman with a hint of joy in her eyes.

Xiaoqing is really being ridiculous. How could such a fine gem of swordsmanship end up becoming her disciple?

However, with such a good apprentice to help, the road ahead will be smoother.

This child is destined for the path of sword cultivation and is also a star of slaughter; he will inevitably be charging into battle in the future.

Since that's the case, I, as Uncle-Master Bai, should lend a hand.

After all, Yingqi's outfit was still too plain.

The term "plain" means it has no luster whatsoever.

"As a sword cultivator, you should have a divine sword that is essential to your life. However, since divine swords have spirits, you need to travel and acquire them yourself. I can only give you some magical treasures for protection for now."

Li Yingqi was about to refuse when Xu Xuan agreed on his behalf. The rich woman had a solid foundation; even a small amount of her wealth would be enough for a novice cultivator like him to take off.

To be able to become a disciple of Xiaoqing, who knows nothing about swords, is a special opportunity.

The wealthy woman first pulled out a ball of wisdom light the size of a copper hammer, radiating auspicious light.

"This is the Mani Bead, a Buddhist wisdom light for subduing demons. It can protect one's mind in ordinary times and also has the power to subdue demons when facing enemies."

Then he took out a piece of jade as large as a duck egg, with a five-colored light. The warm jade was no longer red, and its shape was smaller than before. Holding it in his hand, it was like a ball of five-colored spiritual flame, with bright and sparkling light, radiating wonderful brilliance. Its size could be adjusted at will, and it had many wonderful uses.

"This is a piece of jade that has been warmed for ten thousand years, and I give it to you as well."

What followed was truly remarkable: a tiny, bean-sized, ruyi-shaped purple flame appeared in his palm.

Just floating there, Xu Xuan felt a wave of heat coming over him. Looking at it a few more times, it seemed as if he saw a huge volcano falling into the sky, with countless purple star flowers exploding at the same time.

"Purple Pure Spirit Flame Douluo Fire: Heavenly Palace Spirit Flame. Obtained from Qingyang Palace, this treasure also has a unique feature: it is specifically designed to harm evil spirits."

Xu Xuan was drooling. Could you let some of that seep out from under your fingernails too?

It wasn't that Bai Suzhen was unwilling to give it to Xu Xuan; it was mainly that she felt she didn't have many things that were suitable for this guy who was always up to something big.

Unless it's those few sacred objects she carefully keeps hidden away.

However, some people are more dangerous the more powerful they are; let's wait and see.

Once Li Yingqi was fully armed, the aura emanating from his body was so dazzling that it could be used as a light bulb.

This set of equipment makes it difficult to hurt her even if you're on a completely different level.

After giving the rich woman the treasure, he felt a bit bored and went back to West Lake to cultivate his mind.

Li Yingqi looked at Xu Xuan with anticipation.

"Master Uncle, is war about to break out in Taihu?"

"Just these two days."

"Then hurry up and go, or it will be too late."

So impatient?
Xu Xuan felt there were other reasons, but they weren't important; things were indeed coming to a close on the Taihu Lake side.

One aspect is the battlefront, and another is that the aquatic cycle has arrived.

In winter, the Taihu Lake basin is a typical subtropical monsoon climate zone, and the dry season has arrived, with many rivers even exposing a significant portion of their riverbeds.

Moreover, if we don't fight them soon, many of the crab soldiers and generals will have to burrow into the mud to hibernate.

This is a racial custom, so the two sides are just one final battle away.

So Xu Xuan took Li Yingqi to Taihu Lake.

When the vanguard of Taihu Lake returned, firecrackers and drums were set off in unison.

Yu Bai originally planned to go up and congratulate the king's personal disciple, and then secretly put down the absent Turtle Master.
