"Haha, thank you for your hard work for coming all the way."
Canglong smiled and returned the favor to everyone.
Qin An, the god of shooting the sun, stood at the front and said loudly: "Fellow Taoist Canglong has gone through two disasters and nine tribulations, and now he is about to achieve success. We all congratulate him from the bottom of our hearts. I hope that fellow Taoist Canglong can defeat Tian Banzi."
, pick the Saint’s Dao Fruit, gain the original power, and live as long as heaven and earth from now on!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his right sleeve, and a ray of yellow light flew out from the sleeve, growing in size in mid-air, and finally turned into a square-shaped halberd about ten feet long.
As soon as this thing appeared, a chilling atmosphere filled the palace.
At the same time, strong power surged from mid-air, as if a small mountain was hovering above the main hall. The disciples in Wuzhuang Mountain could not bear the pressure, gasping for air involuntarily, sweating on their foreheads, and even their bodies could not move.
"This is the 'God-killing Halberd'! The city lord specially asked me to send it as a congratulatory gift to congratulate Fellow Daoist Canglong on his sanctification."
Qin An's voice was very loud and echoed in the hall, attracting everyone's attention.
On the cloud platform, Ji Wuchen squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "The Heaven-killing Divine Halberd? I remember this is one of the eight divine weapons of Xuanyuan City. Fellow Taoist Qin An is such a generous hand. He even wanted to do this.
Send it away!”
"When Brother Canglong becomes a saint in the future, he will definitely be the master of Wuzhuang Mountain. We in Xuanyuan City are willing to form an alliance with Wuzhuang Mountain forever. This 'God-killing Halberd' is just a token of our affection." Qin An said with an unchanged expression.
"Haha, Taoist friend has said it before."
Canglong shook his head and said with a smile: "How can it be so easy to survive the calamity of becoming a saint? It is because I am not sure that I invited you all here to help me fight the battle. Lord Xuanyuan City will treat me like a saint now. I
You deserve it."
What he said was vague, but Liang Yan heard the deeper meaning.
You must know that among the four people entering the palace now, there are monks from Xuanyuan City and some who forgot to return to the city.
Nowadays, the Antarctic Fairy Continent is raging with war, and among the six major cities besieging Wushuang City, there is Wanggui City!
Xuanyuan City's rush to help Wushuang City is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of Wanggui City. The two sides have different positions and must be tit for tat.
If Cang Long readily accepts Xuanyuan City's invitation, it would be tantamount to siding with Wushuang City, and doing so would be tantamount to slapping Wanggui City in the face.
The old Taoist Canglong has been practicing for many years and cannot even distinguish this bit of human sophistication. He did not accept it, but he did not explicitly refuse it. He just blamed everything on his own lack of strength, so he was not able to make a choice on behalf of Wuzhuang Mountain for the time being. In this way, both sides
Will not be offended.
After hearing this, Qin An seemed to have expected it. His expression remained unchanged and he said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Canglong, this thing is the intention of our city lord. It shows the goodwill between Xuanyuan City and Wuzhuang Mountain. Even if an alliance cannot be reached in the future, we hope that the two sides will not meet each other at war."
This time, Cang Long did not refuse, but nodded and said with a smile: "Since the words have been said for this reason, the old Taoist will accept it. I also ask fellow Taoist Qin to convey his gratitude to the old Taoist when he returns."
"Definitely!" Qin An said with cupped hands.
Canglong smiled slightly and raised his hand to create a magic spell.
The spiritual energy rushed into the air and formed a circle around the Heaven-killing Divine Halberd. The Divine Halberd quickly shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon grew from ten feet long to seven feet long.
After shrinking, the Heaven-killing Divine Halberd was no longer as heavy as a hill. It fell from the sky and smashed into the white cloud ground of Bihaiyun Palace with a "bang!"
Several disciples from Wuzhuang Mountain immediately stepped forward and worked together to carry the heaven-killing halberd out of the palace.
"Fellow Taoist, please take a seat."
"good."
Qin An nodded slightly, turned around and came to a high white jade platform, sitting upright in front of the table.
As soon as he took his seat, the scholar in white clothes in the crowd took a step forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Returning to someone is not talented, and on behalf of forgetting to return to the city, I will give you a piece of 'Thousand Life Bamboo', please accept it with a smile, fellow Taoist Canglong."
"Qian Shouzhu?"
A flash of light flashed in Canglong's eyes, and he said slowly: "It seems that fellow Taoist knows me very well and knows that I am in urgent need of heavenly materials and earthly treasures with the properties of Yimu."
"hehe."
The scholar in white shook his folding fan gently, glanced at Qin An who was sitting on the cloud platform, and said with a smile: "Since we are here to congratulate you, we must make some preparations. We who forget to return to the city are not like some warriors who only know how to fight and kill.
Knowing that someone is about to undergo a catastrophe, I still want to send some evil weapons as gifts, I don’t know what I mean!”
These words were so sinister that everyone present, as long as they were not fools, could hear that he was ridiculing Qin An.
Liang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly and he carefully looked at this person in the dark.
According to the announcement from the disciples outside the door, this man in white should be Gui Wuqi from Wanggui City. Unfortunately, I don’t know much about Wanggui City and I don’t know this man’s level of cultivation and magical powers.
Just as Liang Yan was secretly observing, Xiangqin's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Looking at you, are you a little curious about his identity? Let me tell you, the name of this scholar in white is Gui Wuqi, and he is the lord of Wanggui City.
Return to the son of Wuya."
"Is he the son of the lord of Forgotten City?"
Liang Yan was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "The six major cities are fighting against Wushuang City. As the son of the city lord, how can he be alone outside?"
Xiangqin thought for a while and replied: "According to the information I gathered, this person seems to want to lobby the neutral forces to let the Seven Mountains and Twelve Cities attack Wushuang City. He has already visited Yuzhu Mountain and Luo Mountain before.
Tianshan, but the effect seems to be not good. This time it coincides with Master Canglong's tribulation, and he rushed here, probably with the intention of wooing us in Wuzhuang Mountain."
After hearing this, Liang Yan suddenly felt enlightened.
"It turned out to be a lobbyist."
This makes sense. After all, they are both seven mountains and twelve cities. If you want to persuade neutral forces to join the battlefield, the identity of the lobbyist is also very important.
As the son of the city lord, Gui Wuqi can lobby all parties and show his sincerity.
It was just a coincidence that Qin An from Xuanyuan City also received the invitation. The two of them were on opposite sides, but they met at the Bihaiyun Palace in Wuzhuang Mountain. They must have been at odds with each other.
Sure enough, as soon as Gui Wuqi finished speaking, Qin An snorted coldly and said: "It's just a broken bamboo, what's so strange about it? Everyone knows that Xuanyuan City is good at casting magical weapons, and the 'God-killing Halberd'
It is also one of the eight great magic weapons of Xuanyuan City, it is priceless! Only such a treasure is worthy of Brother Canglong!"
After hearing this, Gui Wuqi smiled slightly and said: "No matter how good the divine weapons are, how can they compare to the wonders of the Great Dao? In order to compete with the sky, fellow Taoist Canglong has been collecting heavenly materials and earthly treasures containing Yimu's spiritual energy over the years. If I
If your guess is correct, this matter should be related to overcoming the tribulation. This 'Thousand-Shou Bamboo' contains the power of the Yimu Law and is a thing bred by heaven. Gui dares to say that this is the only one in the entire Antarctic Immortal Continent, how can it be just some broken copper?
Can rotten iron be compared to it?"
"presumptuous!"
Qin An reached out and slapped the table hard, then stood up with a cold look in his eyes.
Gui Wuqi was not afraid at all and looked at him with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, Canglong had no choice but to smooth things over:
"Okay, okay, the congratulatory gifts from both of you are first-rate and precious, and I sincerely thank you. It's just that I am hosting a banquet for you today, and there are so many fellow Taoists present. I would like to ask you two to turn the hostility into friendship for the sake of the Taoist."
."
Qin An and Gui Wuqi had no intention of actually taking action, but Canglong's words gave them a chance.
"Hmph, if it weren't for Brother Canglong's sake, I would have shot you with an arrow today!" Qin An said coldly.
"Haha, I've heard of sun-shooting bows and cloud-penetrating arrows a long time ago, but in my opinion, they are just tricks of the wither." Gui Wuqi was not afraid at all. He turned around and the next moment he appeared on the white jade cloud platform.
above.
Due to the constraints of Canglong Lao Tao, the two temporarily stopped playing. There were still two people left in the palace square, an old man in Taoist robes and a middle-aged man in black robes.
Both of them seemed to have serious personalities. Even when they came to congratulate them, they didn't say much. They just presented their gifts to Cang Long, and then each climbed onto the white jade cloud platform.
"Both of these two people also have great backgrounds."
Xiangqin knew what Liang Yan was thinking, so he simply introduced him without waiting for him to ask: "The old Taoist priest's Taoist name is 'Chongtianzi'. He practices the 'Evil-killing Divine Thunder' among the three thunders of Shenxiao. He is very powerful in Shenxiao Mountain."
Ranked among the top four. The man in black robe is named Sima Han. He is the elder of Tianmo Mountain. He originally held a high position, but he has a weird personality and is independent. I heard that he did not get along with his fellow sects and ran away in anger. He has not returned for many years.
It’s the Demon Mountain.”
"Thank you, junior sister, for your advice."
Liang Yan smiled and thanked him sincerely. Although this 'little junior sister' had a somewhat troublesome personality, the information she provided was very important to him.
At this time, I scanned the main hall and found that ten people were already seated on the twelve white jade high platforms. The time was about to reach three quarters of noon, and now there were only two seats vacant.
"Are these two going to break their appointment?"
As soon as this idea came up, a golden light flashed through the sea of clouds, and then the disciples outside the door shouted loudly: "Venerable Fuhu of Luotian Mountain, Li Yile of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain has come to congratulate you!"
Before he finished speaking, two figures walked into the palace at the same time.
The man on the left is wearing a cassock, short and fat, with trembling fat on his face, and a kind smile. The man on the right is dressed in tatters, wearing a straw hat and straw sandals, and is carrying a bamboo basket behind him, as if
The secular farmer is incompatible with everyone present.
But no one dared to underestimate these two people.
Even Master Canglong had a serious look on his face. He walked down the cloud platform in person, raised his hands and saluted, saying: "Master Wufa and fellow Taoist Yile, you two are willing to help me. Cang is very grateful."
Seeing this, the monk hurriedly clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist chant, and said, "Fellow Daoist Canglong, there is no need to be more polite. It's just a small effort for us."
The man in the straw hat chuckled: "Wan Beast Mountain and Wuzhuang Mountain have always been on good terms, so this small favor is appropriate."
Cang Long's face became solemn and he said sincerely: "To be honest, Cang doesn't have much confidence in overcoming the tribulation this time. It's just that the time has come and he has to overcome it. If he fails, he will have to rely on Master Wufa's "Burning Silence Heart Sutra" and
Only Taoist friend Yile's 'Heaven-stealing Rat' can save Cang's life."
"Amitabha, God has the virtue of good life, and the poor monk is a Buddhist monk, so naturally he will not ignore death." Venerable Fuhu clasped his hands together, looking compassionate.
But Li Yile laughed and said with a smile: "Easy to say, easy to say... As long as the banquet of fellow Taoist Canglong satisfies me, everything else will be easy to say!"
Canglong understood, smiled slightly, and made a "please" gesture:
"Please take your seats, both of you."
Venerable Fuhu and Li Yile were not polite. They each climbed onto the white jade cloud platform and sat on both sides of Canglong.
At this point, the twelve masters who received the invitation have arrived at Bihaiyungong in Wuzhuang Mountain.
Liang Yan took a deep breath, looked around, and thought to himself: "I'm afraid that more than half of the masters under the Yasheng of Antarctic Immortal Continent are gathered here. Isn't Canglong afraid of getting burned by setting up such a huge battle to overcome the catastrophe?
"
It's not surprising that he has such thoughts, because the first person he met, Grandma Tianchi, came here with a different purpose.
Among the twelve people here, I don’t know how many people have evil intentions.
Now that the mountain master of Wuzhuang Mountain is away, even if the entire sect gathers its strength, it is probably no match for these twelve people. Even though Canglong has the cultivation level of a sub-sage, he may not be able to suppress them.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan became a little wary.
"I hope these people will not affect my actions. It is best if everyone is attracted by the Canglong Tribulation, so that I can act in secret..."
While he was thinking about it, Cang Long, who had returned to the main seat, already smiled and said: "Fellow Taoists, thank you for traveling thousands of miles to come to Wuzhuang Mountain to help me. Cang didn't treat me well, so I toasted everyone with a thin glass of wine first!"
When everyone saw this, they raised their glasses at the same time.
"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Cang. You have overcome a calamity and become a saint. This is a rare thing that happens in a thousand years. No one was willing to make it public in the past. Only Fellow Daoist Canglong is broad-minded. I believe we can gain a lot by coming here to observe." Ji Wuchen
Hehe laughed.
"That's right." Lin Suxin also nodded and said: "Fellow Daoist Canglong has a broad mind, and I admire him very much. I hope that fellow Taoist can successfully overcome the tribulation and add another saint to our Antarctic Immortal Continent!"
"Haha, you're welcome, please!"
Cang Long smiled boldly and drank all the wine in the cup. Seeing this, everyone else also drank the wine in their hands.
Lu Qinghe clapped his hands at this time, and the female cultivator from Wuzhuang Mountain immediately stepped forward, placed an incense burner on the table of each of the ancestors, and then lit it with magic.
"Fellow Taoist, what do you mean?"
Everyone was puzzled and looked at Canglong with a trace of doubt in their eyes.
Canglong smiled and said: "Everyone, this is the 'Ice Spirit Divine Fragrance' from our Wuzhuang Mountain Narcissus Ridge. Those who practice water-based Taoism can speed up their practice when they smell it. Ordinary monks can relax their minds and feel comfortable throughout their bodies."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qinghe on the side said again: "Senior Brother Canglong has specially prepared the 'Immortal Treasure Banquet' for everyone to enjoy, in order to bring peace to you, and to express his gratitude to you all, but before tasting the 'Immortal Treasure Banquet'
, you must smell this 'Ice Spirit Divine Fragrance'."
