Chapter 70, Suzaku Appears
Chapter 70, Suzaku Appears
When the groaning sound that came out of nowhere exploded in his ears, Hua Changxi sensed an invisible and terrifying force rising from under the cave.
The clouds under her feet were instantly dispersed, causing her to lose her balance and fall directly from the sky, hitting the ground heavily.
"Ah~"
Hua Changxi didn't care about the pain, his eyes bulged wide, and he looked in shock and horror as the golden light continued to float out from the ground in the cave at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The spiritual light became more and more numerous and more intense, and it quickly gathered towards the top of the cave, with such terrifying force that it shook the stone cave.
‘Boom~’
The concentration of the spiritual light reached its peak. The stone cave finally couldn't bear the powerful force carried by the spiritual light and began to shake. Countless pieces of stone began to fall.
The cave is collapsing and disintegrating!
Suddenly, the rising spiritual light opened the cave entrance, and Hua Changxi saw the Buddha's hand that suppressed the Monkey King fall down and landed on the ground with a "pa". It did not break, but cracks appeared on it.
At the same time, outside the cave, Jiang Guanyun and Jiang Gaoheng both looked solemn and alert as they watched the cave suddenly shake violently.
The mountain spirit was so frightened that he dared not struggle: "I am going to die, I am going to die, the fairy has moved the Buddha's hand away, the Monkey King is coming out."
Jiang Guanyun frowned after hearing Shan Ling's words. He didn't take the wild girl's words seriously. He didn't believe that there was any Monkey King. Even if there was, he would have turned to ashes long ago.
But at this moment, when he felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake, Jiang Guanyun hesitated and stopped refining the mountain spirit.
"Second brother, let's leave this place first."
Jiang Guanyun did not dare to stay. He held the mountain spirit and just turned around to leave when there was a loud "crack". The spiritual light that had been gathering in the cave finally burst the cave and leaked out.
With the stone cave as the center, a rich golden aura spread out like a mushroom cloud explosion, sweeping in all directions.
"Escape~"
A terrifying air wave hit Jiang Guanyun in the face, and he had no power to resist and was directly blown away by the air wave.
He was in the Nascent Soul Realm and was like this, let alone Jiang Gaoheng who was in the Sea of Talent Realm. Before he could react, he was killed by the air wave.
Jiang Guanyun followed the force of the air wave and flew away quickly towards the outskirts of Five Fingers Mountain. After sensing that his second son's breath had disappeared, his blood surged and he spurted out of his mouth.
At this moment, the mountain spirit took advantage of his unstable breathing, desperately broke free from his restraints, and then ran towards the third peak without looking back.
When Jiang Guanyun saw the mountain spirit running away, he was so angry that his hair was bloodshot. He was unwilling to lose the mountain spirit like this and wanted to chase it, but he saw spiritual light gathering over the stone cave and rushing straight into the sky, shaking the entire Five Finger Mountain to the point that it seemed unstable.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Guanyun dared not hesitate. He gritted his teeth, turned around and flew out decisively.
The moment the spiritual light spread out of the stone cave, all the creatures in the Five Fingers Mountain felt that terrifying aura, and all the cultivators outside the Five Fingers Mountain flew out of the range of the Five Fingers Mountain at the same time.
"What happened in the mountains?"
Outside the Five Finger Mountain, cultivators from all parties were either standing on flying swords, riding on clouds, or riding on flying magical instruments. They were all suspended in the air, looking at the third peak of the Five Finger Mountain with solemn expressions.
"What are those surging and condensing golden auras?"
At this moment, the third peak of the Five Finger Mountain was filled with spiritual light, and it was showing a tendency to spread outwards.
Soon, the spiritual light covered the third peak and spread towards the second and fourth peaks.
"Fairy."
The stone cave had collapsed, but the original space of the cave was intact. Hua Changxi lay on the ground, staring blankly at the scene happening before him.
She didn't expect that her actions would cause such a big commotion.
Bigger than she could imagine, and bigger than she could control.
She just wanted to save herself and the mountain spirits and kill the old Taoist priest, but looking at the current situation, it seemed that the entire Five Finger Mountain would be in trouble.
"Fairy, run~"
Hua Changxi turned his head and looked at the mountain spirit not far away with a bitter face.
Doesn't she want to run?
Thinking, thinking crazily.
But she was locked by an invisible force and could not move at all.
"Fatty, run away and leave me alone."
Seeing that Shan Ling wanted to come over, Hua Changxi quickly stopped him: "I seem to be locked in by the Monkey King's field, don't come in."
After hearing this, the mountain spirit was horrified. At this moment, he was really anxious. If he allowed the Monkey King's field to continue to spread, the Five Finger Mountain would be destroyed.
"Fairy, where is the Buddha's hand?"
Hua Changxi was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked around: "In the northeast direction, see? A golden handprint the size of a palm."
The mountain spirit looked at the place Hua Changxi said, and saw the Buddha's hand. His face was a little sad, and his eyes were red: "I just cultivated a spiritual body and just transformed into a human body, wu~"
Seeing that he was still crying at this time, Hua Changxi shouted angrily: "Stop crying and run away."
Shan Ling looked at Hua Changxi with tearful eyes: "Fairy, you must come to Wuzhi Mountain again in the future, and I will let you be crowned as a legitimate master."
Hua Changxi felt something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "What are you going to do?"
"I am a mountain spirit. I cannot let the Five Finger Mountain be destroyed."
After the mountain spirit said this, before Hua Changxi could react, it rushed towards the Buddha's hand and turned into a five-colored spiritual light that sank into the Buddha's hand.
Then, the Buddha's hand began to shine brightly and slowly floated in the air.
Hua Changxi's mind went blank as he watched this scene.
The next moment, she saw five-colored spiritual light emerging from the ground, rising up at a speed even faster than the golden spiritual light.
At this moment, the monks outside the Five Finger Mountain were shocked by the scene before them.
Throughout the Five Finger Mountain, countless five-colored spiritual lights continuously emerged from the ground, spreading, rising, and diffusing.
After a while, it surrounded the golden light that was still spreading outwards.
"roar~"
A roar filled with deep anger came from the golden light, and then the golden light began to twist. In the blink of an eye, a huge monster that stood up condensed into a human.
Looking at the huge monster, everyone lost their voice.
Hua Changxi, who was at the center of the spiritual light, felt the strongest shock. It was an illusory giant monkey that was larger than a mountain and formed by the condensation of spiritual energy.
Monkey King
She really let the Monkey King out!
"Boom~"
An ancient and melodious Buddhist bell sounded above the clouds, and then the sea of clouds surged, and five-colored spiritual light gathered in the sky. The next moment, a giant hand that could cover the mountains and was condensed by the five elements of spiritual energy formed in the sky.
Seeing the giant hand appear, Hua Changxi breathed a sigh of relief. However, she glanced at the Buddha's hand floating in the air not far away and slowly rising. Looking at the cracks on the Buddha's hand, a strong sense of uneasiness surged in her heart.
Now that cracks have appeared on the Buddha's hand, can it still suppress the Monkey King?
The giant monkey flew over the sea of clouds, its giant hands blocking out the sky and the sun.
This scene was reflected too far away. Not only people near Wuzhi Mountain saw it, but also people from other prefectures and counties in Qingzhou Prefecture.
From this moment on, the affairs of the monks and the revival of spiritual energy could no longer be concealed.
"roar~"
The moment the giant hand was formed, the giant monkey let out an angry roar that pierced the clouds and split the rocks, then punched out fiercely and attacked the giant hand.
At the same time, the giant hand also covered the giant monkey. The terrifying power that seemed to destroy everything made everyone terrified.
The monks who were watching from the Five Finger Mountain all flew away for a distance at the same time to avoid being affected.
"Bang~"
The giant monkey and the giant hand collided violently, and a strong wave of spiritual energy swept out. The terrifying momentum forced everyone to continue to retreat.
Just as the various forces had stabilized their positions, a figure rushed out from the Five Finger Mountain.
Everyone looked closely and found that it was Jiang family's ancestor Jiang Guanyun.
As soon as Jiang Guanyun escaped from the Five Finger Mountain, he could no longer suppress the spiritual energy running wild in his body. He spat out several mouthfuls of blood and fell directly from the air.
Seeing this scene, the eyes of people from all sides flickered. Some were afraid of the situation in the Five Finger Mountain, while others secretly wanted to plot against the Jiang family's assets.
"Bang~" "Bang~"
The giant monkey and the giant hand fought again, one wanted to smash the giant hand, and the other wanted to crush the giant monkey.
Perhaps because she was at the feet of the giant monkey, Hua Changxi, who was at the center of the storm, was not affected at all.
It was at this time that Hua Changxi discovered that the power locked on him had disappeared. Without saying a word, he quickly got up and wanted to escape.
Away from the stone cave, Hua Changxi didn't dare to run around in the Five Finger Mountain where spiritual energy was surging, so he found a small hill to hide in.
Seeing the giant monkey and the giant hand, every attack seemed a little illusory. Hua Changxi kept praying in his heart that the giant hand must defeat the giant monkey first, so that the Five Finger Mountain could return to its previous peace.
But she didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if the giant monkey smashed the giant hand.
However, things went against expectations. After the giant monkey collided with the giant hand for the fifth time, cracks appeared on the giant hand.
The cracks opened and the spiritual energy dissipated.
The giant hand became unstable, and was blasted by the giant monkey to become more and more illusory.
"How to do?"
Hua Changxi was a little anxious. If the giant hand was blown away, there would be nothing that could suppress the spread of the Monkey King's field. Although she didn't know what the specific consequences would be, she didn't feel very good.
Also, it would be fine if the Monkey King's field was only within the Five Fingers Mountain, but if it continued to spread outward, beyond the Five Fingers Mountain and affected the common people, she really couldn't imagine what would happen.
"Shan Ling, why didn't you explain to me clearly that moving the Buddha's hand would cause such a big commotion."
"What shall I do now?"
Hua Changxi's gaze suddenly turned to the location of the stone cave, where the Buddha's hand that had fallen into the crack was still rising slowly. It seemed that the Buddha's hand was suppressed and was rising very slowly.
“Does the Buddha’s hand want to return to its original position?”
But the cave is gone.
Hua Changxi was both scared and anxious. She was afraid that she would cause an irreparable disaster. No matter what, she was the one who moved the Buddha's hand away.
"Boom~"
Under the attack of the giant monkey, the giant hand became more illusory. At the same time, the cracks on the hand became bigger and bigger, and it became more and more unstable.
"Never mind. While the giant hand can still stop the giant monkey, I will help send the Buddha's hand up to see if it works."
Hua Changxi gritted her teeth and flew back to the cave. She picked up the Buddha's hand and was about to rush up. Unfortunately, she underestimated the pressure from the Monkey King in the cave, and her ascending speed was not much faster than that of the Buddha's hand.
"roar~"
The giant monkey noticed what happened in the cave and became very angry. While attacking the giant hand, he raised his foot and stomped heavily at Hua Changxi.
The moment the monkey's foot stepped down, Hua Changxi could no longer ride the cloud to rise up and fell directly to the ground. She wanted to escape but had no chance. She watched the monkey's foot step down and instinctively waved out the fire lotus to try to stop it.
Fire lotuses were continuously waved out, and although they were easily dispersed by the monkey's feet, they still slowed down the speed of the monkey's feet falling.
Seeing that the Fire Lotus’ blocking was effective, Hua Changxi could only continue to wave the Fire Lotus.
The fire lotus consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Feeling that the spiritual energy in his body was being consumed rapidly, Hua Changxi gritted his teeth and held on, waving the fire lotus with one hand and absorbing spiritual energy with the other.
Fortunately, she had set up a spirit gathering array in the stone cave before, and she was also a spiritual energy black hole, so she could absorb as much spiritual energy as possible. It really helped a lot at this moment.
Outside the Five Finger Mountain, all the cultivators watched the battle inside the mountain with fear and trepidation.
At the beginning, it was just a battle between the giant monkey and the giant hand, but since some time ago, a large amount of fire spiritual energy has condensed under the feet of the giant monkey, and one fire lotus after another kept attacking the giant monkey.
"Fire Lotus. The criminals who killed my Cui family's children and Jiang family cultivators used this kind of Fire Lotus."
"That person is such a lowly person, she only knows how to attack by surprise. The giant monkey was stopped by the giant hand, so she ran to attack him. Why didn't the giant monkey kill her quickly?"
The other forces ignored Cui Cheng's curses and all looked very solemn.
The people of Shura Sect looked down on the Cui family and snorted, "Shut up! You'd better pray that the giant monkey is suppressed, otherwise Qingzhou will be finished."
Cui Cheng choked and looked at his own patriarch.
The Patriarch of the Cui Family hesitated for a moment, then flew to the front of the Taisu Palace team and said, "Master Qingyun, what did Shura Sect just say?"
Taoist Qingyun's expression was quite solemn at the moment: "That giant monkey should be a demon beast suppressed in the Five Finger Mountain. No matter what it was like in its lifetime, it has been suppressed for endless years and is definitely full of malice towards the outside world. Once it escapes, it will definitely become an evil spirit that brings disaster to all directions."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang, and the giant hand was blown away by the giant monkey.
Seeing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.
Hua Changxi was also horrified. When she saw the giant monkey looking down at her, she felt like her heart stopped beating.
"Are you going to die?"
Seeing the giant monkey's fist coming towards her, Hua Changxi felt the breath of death. She used all her strength to inject all her spiritual energy into a fire lotus, and then swung the fire lotus out with all her strength.
After the fire lotus rushed towards the giant monkey, Hua Changxi continued to absorb spiritual energy while injecting spiritual energy into the fire lotus.
Knowing that he was no match for the giant monkey, Hua Changxi closed his eyes unwillingly and completely turned himself into a channel connecting the fire lotus and the fire spiritual energy, maximizing the absorption and delivery of the spiritual energy.
Outside the Five Finger Mountain, everyone only saw the giant monkey lowering his head and smashing between his feet, and then a grand fire lotus flew up and blocked the giant monkey's fist.
The giant monkey quickly dispersed the fire lotus, and as it continued to smash down, the third peak was filled with red fire aura.
The fire spirit quickly condensed and surged, as if something was about to condense and emerge.
"Hey~"
A melodious and loud bird song resounded through the sky.
The moment the bird's singing sounded, for a split second, Hua Changxi felt himself turning into fire aura and rushing towards the giant monkey.
As everyone stared in amazement, a glowing firebird flew out from the surging fire energy and rushed towards the giant monkey.
"roar~"
The giant monkey roared unwillingly, watching the firebird shatter its body, and in despair it turned into a point of light and dissipated in the air.
The firebird easily defeated the giant monkey, flashed across the sky, then dived back into the third peak of the Five Finger Mountain and disappeared.
The moment the firebird appeared, countless people were startled.
In the capital city, at the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, the chief inspector Yuan looked at the south with a shocked expression, and the Emperor Star appeared.
"how come?"
"The spiritual energy has just begun to revive, and the Emperor Star has appeared?"
In the Hanlin Academy, the History Museum, the historian Shi Yishi looked excitedly at the white scroll formed by the spiritual light on the table and the white jade pen.
The history books of the Four Spiritual Worlds reappear!
Shi Yishi carefully and cautiously flipped through the paper and pen, tears of excitement flashing in his eyes: "After so many years, the Shi family has finally waited for the day to record the history of the Four Spirit Realms again."
Shi Yishi calmed down, walked out of the house quickly, and looked up to the south.
"The interface is unlocked and opened from the south?"
In the Medical Department, No. 1 Clinic on Second Street, Pharmacist Tong was explaining the techniques of alchemy. When everyone was listening attentively, Gu Jinfan suddenly stood up and ran out of the room.
"what happened?"
Looking towards the direction of Qingzhou, Gu Jinfan's face was full of disbelief. She seemed to have just heard the cry of the Vermillion Bird.
What happened in Qingzhou?
Gu Jinfan quickly recalled what happened in Qingzhou at this time in his previous life: "Except for the fight between the various parties over the Five Finger Mountain, nothing else happened in Qingzhou."
The Five Finger Mountain was taken away by the Jiang family of Jizhou in the previous life. Since the ancestor of the Jiang family was a powerful Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, his appearance made the transfer of the Five Finger Mountain to the Jiang family go smoothly, and even the imperial court did not interfere.
In the previous life, the Five Finger Mountain had quietly become the property of the Jiang family.
Why is there the sound of the Vermilion Bird this time?
What on earth happened over there?
At the southernmost tip of Da Jin, deep in the South China Sea, several cargo ships had been lost in the sea fog for nearly three months. Just when all the crew members and merchants were feeling desperate, some sailors saw land.
"Look, there is land. We can go ashore."
When the crew and merchants got ashore, they were surrounded by a group of strong men wearing animal skins and exuding a strong barbaric air.
