Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 819 Imperial Carriage
The squad gathered atop Mount Yu, looking at the battlefield ahead and finding it difficult to know where to begin.

But look at Dongting Lake!

Dark clouds loomed overhead, obscuring the sun, like the primordial chaos before creation; lightning flashed like snakes, tearing through the sky and splitting the water, just like the fire spirits of Laozi's furnace collapsing and falling in disarray.

The wind howled fiercely, whipping up waves thousands of feet high, causing fish and dragons in the lake to turn upside down, and beasts on the shore to tremble in fear.

The water was even more ferocious, with turbid waves soaring into the sky and undercurrents surging. It seemed as if there were dragons and demons causing trouble at the bottom of the lake, disturbing the peace of the underwater realm.

The eerie demonic aura transformed into a thick black mist that filled the sky; if an ordinary person were to come into contact with even the slightest trace of it, their flesh and bones would instantly dissolve, and their soul would be scattered.

The lake surface was covered with reddish foam, and a fishy smell filled the air, making it seem like a dark, bloody sea.

The poor people living by the lake had either fled or died, leaving only broken walls and ruins, which were swept away like dust by the monstrous waves.

The aquatic creatures in the lake were not spared either. Fish, shrimp, crabs, and turtles scrambled to escape, and those who were even a step too slow were swept away by the undercurrent and disappeared without a trace.

It really is—

The sky darkens and ghosts and gods tremble; waves surge and churn as demons roar. If not for the true holy monk of the White Lotus, who would dare to cross this demonic lake?

Looking at the earth-shattering scene before him, Xu Xuan suddenly let out a sneer in front of everyone behind him—

"what!"

Before his laughter had even faded, he had already raised his hand and pointed to the swirling thunderclouds, his black robes and crimson skirts fluttering in the gale. His fingertips almost pierced into the ever-distorting darkness: "Summoning wind and rain? Calling forth thunder?" The sarcasm in his tone was thick and unmistakable. "The Lord of the Clouds—nothing more than that!"

"You!" A superhuman roar exploded from the depths of the dark clouds, and the entire sky suddenly tore apart, revealing a giant crimson eye flowing with lava in the crack!
The torrential rain instantly froze into sharp ice spears, like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens, but strangely bent and bounced off three zhang above everyone's heads.

"Getting impatient, getting impatient." Xu Xuan stood with his arms crossed, not even bothering to brush the hem of his clothes. The earth-shattering special effects in front of him seemed like cheap tricks to him, and as for the lake surface churning with demonic mist, like an ancient forbidden land reappearing... a hint of undisguised contempt curled at the corner of his mouth.

And the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning block the way, while the clouds and fog confuse all living beings.

Should we arrange for a few teammates to take turns challenging the "Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning" level?
Do we need to add some more dramatic scenes of "sacrificing oneself" to pave the way for the team?

This kind of weakening tactic is really unoriginal; it's something we've already done before.

Xiao Jun, you still think I'm the only one who's going to have fun with you?

Reality isn't a novel; no one will accompany you through the process.

He snorted, his turn was fluid and graceful, his dark sleeves drawing a clean arc in the bloody wind, and he spoke softly to the big boss.

"Miss Bai, we're counting on you."

They were perfectly justified and showed no sign of guilt!
This time, he was too lazy to even perform the "Yu Steps to Stabilize the Water" ritual, and he was too lazy to even borrow the "Buddha's Golden Bowl".

After all... the team composition for this dungeon is simply too overpowered.

At least before entering Yunmengze... we'll walk sideways!
Sanqi, who was mixed in with the team, nodded silently. Master Xu really had style when it came to important matters, and he really didn't care about the little things at all.

In front of everyone, Bai Suzhen nodded in agreement, responding to the pretty boy's request.

A barely perceptible smile flickered in his eyes, as if to say, "Leave it to me."

But this response was far from ordinary—it was astonishing and outrageous, and four words are insufficient to describe even a fraction of it. It should be known that Xu Xuan was always an expert in public appearances, exuding elegance in every gesture, capable of captivating attention even amidst a vast army.

But how could Lady White Snake's brilliance be any less?

Looking back, when she broke through the Yin-Yang boundary of Guo Bei with a single finger, the universe reversed, and the Yin and Yang energies surged like raging waves; when she set up an altar to fight against the Arhat who subdues dragons, the altar was built high, starlight soared into the sky, and crossed the void to wash over the Great Pippala Tree; when she forcefully clashed with the Yin-Yang Dust Array, she lightly waved her fair hand, reversed the six gates, broke the array with the array, and her momentum was as magnificent as the sky collapsing and the earth overturning.

Every battle was like a god descending to earth, or a demon lord descending to earth, with moves so beautiful they were breathtaking.

The grandeur of the scene makes mountains and rivers tremble; the beauty of the scene is dazzling and colorful, which amazes the viewer but turns into fear in an instant.

Perhaps it was this scene of ancient calamity that awakened her long-dormant memories, or perhaps it was her long-suppressed true nature that finally could not be contained.

The prelude has begun, but it's even more domineering than before!

With a slight lift of her delicate hand and a gentle twitch of her fingertips, the stars in the heavens seemed to cascade down like a waterfall, their brilliance as dazzling as the Milky Way pouring in—this was merely the most basic starting gesture.

The starlight did not dissipate upon landing; instead, it intertwined and swirled in the void!
Like a master craftsman wielding a shuttle, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, the final result is a magnificent imperial chariot shrouded in purple mist!
The chariot shaft was formed from the stars Tian Shu and Tian Xuan, long like a swimming dragon, its entire body flowing with the cold light of the Milky Way; the spokes were the manifestations of Yu Heng and Kai Yang, grinding out fine sparks when they turned, as if leaving scorching marks on the void; the canopy was formed from the star Yao Guang, and the stars in the sky could be seen shining and flickering as the necklace fell down, as if a universe was hidden in a sleeve.

Furthermore, the Tianquan star serves as the seat, and the Tianji star as the chariot. Every inch of the entire chariot is engraved with mysterious star patterns, and the slightest tremor will cause wind and thunder to follow within a radius of a hundred miles.

Suddenly, a clear and melodious sound of jade chimes came from the highest heavens. It was the manifestation of Po Jun, the seventh star of the Big Dipper.

It transformed into a transparent celestial horse, its four hooves splashing up waves of the Milky Way, its mane flowing like a comet's tail, and a long neigh that shook the clouds and revealed the moon.

At this moment, the Starry Sky Imperial Chariot is suspended in the air, surrounded by the phantom images of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and the purple star marks left behind by the chariot tracks are long-lasting.

Indeed: "This is not a golden chariot of the mortal world, but the mount of a banished immortal from the Purple Palace. If you ask where this chariot goes, it roams freely throughout the Three Realms and Ten Directions!"

In its early days, Baoantang dealt with many debts from extremely poor families, and later it also fought many crushing wars against the wealthy.

This imperial chariot, woven with starlight, is so magnificent and interesting even in its pre-cast skill. With its purple aura and coiled dragon patterns, it is a novel sight never before seen, leaving everyone in awe.

However, apart from Xu Xuan, everyone here is a local, and they are all more or less influenced by feudal ideas.

Of course, some people are worried that they are not lucky enough to be able to board the vehicle.

Therefore, they hesitated to proceed when faced with the imperial carriage.

Fortunately, someone was willing to set an example for everyone.

Xu Xuan and Bai Suzhen walked up calmly together.

This "outsider Xu" was steeped in the essence of modern ideological liberation—what emperors, generals, destiny, and fortune? They were all feudal dross!

Having been raised with modern education, I believe in the idea that "man can conquer nature." This carriage is just a means of transportation, so why should I be timid and hesitant?
Bai Suzhen, this local demon, exudes an overwhelming aura of dominance.

With her eyebrows slightly raised, her every step exuded a defiant will, as if the imperial carriage were merely a stepping stone on her path to immortality.

Her ambition was to transcend the realm of the Loose Immortal and seek the immortality of the Golden Nature. Her domineering aura was even stronger than that of the Cloud Lord. A mere carriage? In her eyes, it was nothing more than child's play.

Little Green King followed closely behind, his steps light as if on a spring outing, his golden eyes shining with an innocent yet proud light.

She doesn't understand all that nonsense; she only knows that I, the mighty ruler of both Taihu and Dongting Lakes, am not afraid of this.
