Chapter 81 The Serpent Seeks Change, Sword Dust Induces Calamity
Chen Chunan momentarily forgot that Ji Hanyuqiu's Taiyin Refinement Technique was still seeking to generate Yang from extreme Yin, and that it was currently being restrained by Yang.
This blazing sun was practically her natural nemesis; how could she not curse it?
Chen Chunan was also numb. He had drawn down the True Fire of the Sun using the "Golden Crow," but it was not a supernatural power he had cultivated. Now he could not control its flow.
"Yes, I also have the Golden Crow! It's formed from the essence of the sun's fire, and I can use it to ward off fire!"
With a thought, Chen Chunan instantly summoned the Golden Crow, which was still happily swimming in the true fire in the heavens above.
It was originally formed from the essence of the sun's fire and merged with Chen Chunan's consciousness, so using it was as natural as giving it a command.
As soon as the Golden Crow appeared, the two women were immediately drawn to it, for it was entirely black but wreathed in red flames.
When Han Yuqiu saw this black bird, he felt as if it were a living, breathing sun!
Before she could ask a question, Chen Chunan had a thought, and the Golden Crow instantly grew larger.
"No time to explain, get on the bird!"
As he spoke, Chen Chunan released a burst of pure Yang Qi, enveloping the two women, and then leaped onto the back of the Golden Crow.
The golden crow let out two cries of "Ah~ Ah~", then flapped its wings and burst through the water and fire.
Having somewhat recovered, the viper, enraged by the three people disappearing on the black bird, stirred the water into a cloud of mist.
Looking at its severely damaged internal organs and its body, which was torn apart by the sun's true fire, it felt a deep sense of dread towards the Jiangzhou human race for the first time.
In the past thousand years, only one Han Yuqiu has risen to prominence, but now another human who is skilled in fire manipulation has emerged. Judging from his strength, he has probably already reached the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage.
If left unchecked, I fear I won't be able to survive my dragon transformation tribulation!
The tribulation of dragon transformation includes not only heavenly tribulation and earthly tribulation, but also human tribulation, and this person is the most likely to become one's own human tribulation.
"Hmph! I've lived for over two thousand years, and I still have a few close friends! When I summon them, it will be your death day!"
The viper's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty, but in the end, it didn't dare to continue the pursuit.
He hadn't recovered from the injury to his inner core last time, and although the injury wasn't serious this time, he still needed to recuperate.
He immediately turned and left, transforming into a streak of black light and disappearing into Pingjiang.
A few days later, the first thing the viper did upon returning to its water palace was to check on the black snake.
He sensed the black snakehead being burned, even though he was in the formation.
"Black Snake, how are your injuries?"
"Brother, the divine fire of Chi Mianxi is incredibly powerful. My primordial spirit has been damaged, and I must go into seclusion to heal."
"Alright, then you should focus on healing your injuries first. Once you're healed, we'll set sail together, invite our friends, and completely eradicate these three sects!"
"Brother is right! By the way, a dragon came from the East Sea recently. It was quite powerful. It entered Pingjiang through an underground water vein and passed by my Water Palace. It was in a hurry, as if it was hiding from someone. When we go out to sea, we might as well ask this dragon if it would like to join us."
"A dragon?" A strange glint flashed in the viper's eyes.
"If he has no background, he would be a good helper. There are only a few forces among the overseas demon races. As a dragon, he will probably go to the Seven Immortals Island. It just so happens that I also wanted to join the Seven Immortals Island back then, and I have a couple of friends there. Why not ask him to help me find out something?"
...
On the other side, Chen Chunan and his two companions escaped and happened to encounter three Nascent Soul cultivators who had come to their aid.
The Daoist of Wine stepped forward and asked with concern, "Fellow Daoist Han, how are you?"
Han Yuqiu shook his head and said, "It's nothing serious. I was just poisoned by that viper. I'll be able to get rid of it completely after I go into seclusion for a while."
She expended her magical power to maintain the "mini-fridge," which inevitably allowed the toxins to seep in, but thanks to the protection of the Yin Talisman, she was not seriously harmed.
Han Yuqiu changed the subject and said, "This time, the viper suffered a small loss and also learned that Fellow Daoist Chi has joined my Taiyin Sect. I'm afraid they will make new moves."
Jian Chen frowned and said, "Why don't we strike while the iron is hot and attack the serpent's water palace directly!"
Xue Yue waved his fan and objected, "No way! That viper controls the waterways of Pingjiang. We can barely hold on on land, let alone in Pingjiang where it has the power of the waterways. How could we possibly be a match for it!"
"This is its weakest moment. If I cannot obtain even a wisp of its life force now, I will have no way to activate this Heavenly Tribulation!"
"If you ask for a wisp of life, I have it here!"
As Chen Chunan spoke, he made a move, and the Yang Talisman appeared in his hand.
What could be more like an angry viper than a black mass writhing inside?
Jian Chen was overjoyed and immediately said, "Let's go directly to the Cold Moon Cave Heaven. I will activate the Heavenly Tribulation Attraction today!"
The group used their escape light to head towards the Cold Moon Cave.
...
Cold Moon Cave
Jian Chen sat cross-legged on the cloud bed with his five hearts facing the sky, his hands forming hand seals.
A strange jade doll had a strange talisman pasted on its back.
Jian Chen carefully manipulated the wisp of life force and integrated it into the jade puppet.
Upon absorbing this anger, the jade doll instantly transformed into a viper.
Jian Chen was overjoyed at this sight. Then, strands of tribulation energy gathered from his spiritual sea and slowly poured into the jade statue of the viper.
Within a short while, all the hazy, calamity-inducing energy was poured into it.
Just when Chen Chunan thought he had succeeded, Jian Chen suddenly ripped off his hair ornament, took off his shoes, and let his hair fall loose.
He then took a dagger and slashed open his own chest, revealing his constantly beating heart.
Chen Chunan was naturally shocked to see that activating this supernatural power required self-harm.
Seeing Chen Chunan's confusion, the Wine Daoist explained, "The Heavenly Tribulation Guide was obtained by that ancient immortal from the arts of shamanism. In ancient times, the immortal path was not flourishing, while the shamanistic path was prevalent. The shamanistic path is the way to communicate with heaven and earth, and most of its spells originated from ancient shamanistic arts. We immortals rarely possess such extraordinary methods! If it weren't for the fact that even the shamanistic swordsman Jian Chen couldn't deceive heaven and earth..."
Chen Chunan nodded.
Then Jian Chen used a drop of his heart's blood as a guide to apply it to the eyes of the snake-shaped jade statue.
The calamity energy lurking inside the jade statue seemed to have found an outlet, rushing into the void.
However, the aura of calamity was extremely strong, and there was no change for a long time.
Han Yuqiu said to the crowd, "This method requires eighty-one days to complete. You may all go now."
With that, he disappeared into the hall.
Chen Chunan also returned to his own courtyard.
Today's events were truly thrilling for Chen Chunan.
This was also the first time he had faced a Nascent Soul level cultivator directly.
"I still need to cultivate the formation. If it weren't for the Five Elements Formation delaying me, I might have been in serious trouble. The Golden Crow can draw upon the true fire of the sun, so I might as well cultivate that as well. With external demons rampant, one cannot attain the Dao without protective measures. It's a pity that I wasn't a disciple of the Daoist sect in my previous life, so I have no way of knowing many methods of subduing demons. Now I can only comprehend them on my own."
Just as Chen Chunan began to reflect on his actions, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Chunan scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately recognized Chen Hongxian.
"Red Thread, come in."
"Brother! Sister Lin wrote a letter!"
"Lin Jing?"
"Oh, Sister Lin Jing! Something big has happened in Lingzhou! Sister Lin said she was coming to Jiangzhou, she'll never guess we're here too!"
