Chapter 2475 Destruction of the Country
The methods of spiritual cultivation are inherently unpredictable. The female cultivator used some unknown technique to disguise herself as a power cultivator, and Pan Cong, caught off guard, fell into her trap.
Fortunately, the female cultivator's cultivation level was inferior to his, and Pan Cong immediately realized what was happening.
When the blue flames flew out of his body, they drew out countless blue threads. These threads seemed to be wrapped around his essence and being peeled away little by little, causing intense pain to assault his mind.
Fortunately, the silk threads were not deeply rooted, and Pan Cong was not seriously injured, but he still felt lingering fear.
A fierce glint flashed in the beast's eyes, and Pan Cong extended its pincers, like iron clamps, tightly gripping the fleeing Blue Flame.
'boom! '
The blue flame was crushed by Pan Cong, but the result surprised Pan Cong.
Immediately afterwards, Pan Cong seemed to discover something; suddenly, ripples appeared around him, and the sound of waves could be heard.
'Crash...'
At this moment, on the battlefield, cultivators from both countries heard the deafening roar of the waves, as if they were being transported to the sea.
Countless cultivators looked up and were all horrified. High above, a giant white wave transformed into a long white line, cleaving through the sky, instantly traversing thousands of miles, and disappearing from sight.
After a while, a loud bang was heard, and the ground shook violently on the battlefield.
Thousands of miles away, mountains that have not been destroyed by wind disasters for countless years are as fragile as paper in the face of waves.
'Rumble...'
The giant waves crashed in with unparalleled force, crushing and collapsing mountain peaks one after another.
In an instant, the mountains collapsed, and dust flew everywhere.
Just as the wave was about to crush the last mountain peak, it came to an abrupt halt in front of the mountain with a loud 'boom,' and two large holes appeared in the mountain wall, pierced by two long claw-like appendages.
Its chelicerae, like spears, pierced through the mountain wall, with their tips appearing on the other side of the mountain, where they were held firmly by a ball of blue flame.
A human figure could be clearly seen within the blue flames. The female cultivator's true form had actually escaped here. Clearly, she knew she couldn't kill Pan Cong, and her real purpose was to create an opportunity for her to escape. Unfortunately, she still couldn't shake off Pan Cong.
The female cultivator was clamped between the claws, and she raised her arms to resist with all her might.
However, Pan Cong now revealed his demon form, and his strength was now far greater than before. The power of his claws was extremely terrifying, and the female cultivator could no longer break free from them. But she did not give up, and blue flames spread upwards along his claws.
The mountain peaks were the first to be ignited, instantly transforming into a giant blue torch, with raging flames dyeing the sky blue.
Just then, with a 'plop' sound, another pincer suddenly pierced into the female cultivator's chest.
By the time the female cultivator realized the danger, it was too late. A large hole was torn open in her chest, and the claws twisted violently, crushing her internal organs. The female cultivator's expression stiffened, her eyes quickly lost their luster, and she lost the ability to resist.
'puff! '
The female cultivator's arms and head were cleanly severed, and the fragments of her body crashed to the ground. Then, a strange scene unfolded: the body parts melted away, flowing like water towards the largest piece. After merging, they rapidly shrank inward, eventually transforming into a bone bead the size of a fingernail, emitting a pale white light.
The female cultivator's physical body was actually a treasure!
Pan Cong realized something was wrong; he hadn't actually caught the female cultivator's true form yet, and he'd been tricked again!
This woman was willing to abandon her most valuable possessions in order to save her life.
Having been tricked twice in a row, if the female cultivator escapes, he will truly lose all face.
The beast's eyes blazed with fury, and its gaze suddenly shifted, fixing on another direction.
'boom! ’
A white line plowed across the land, like a river bursting its banks, carving out a channel on its own. However, this channel was too deep and too long, tearing the land apart like tofu, forming a straight river that stretched for over two thousand miles, cutting through mountains with unstoppable force.
Just then, Pan Cong suddenly saw a crimson light descend from the sky, followed by a scream.
A pillar of fire shot into the sky ahead, and a transparent figure was forced out of the void by the flames, looking extremely disheveled.
Pan Cong suddenly stopped, exclaiming in surprise, "God... God Bird Lord..."
"Humph!"
The Vermilion Bird appeared in the fire, looking down at Pan Cong with a mocking gaze. "You idiot! If this divine bird hadn't just emerged from seclusion, she would have escaped!"
Pan Cong's face burned with embarrassment, and he dared not refute, "It's because this little demon is incompetent, Lord Divine Bird, be careful of her..."
Before he could finish speaking, a loud bang rang out, and the female cultivator's spirit was kicked away by the Vermilion Bird's claw, letting out a heart-wrenching scream. Pan Cong quickly shut his mouth. Then, he saw the female cultivator who had been causing him so much trouble being toyed with by the Vermilion Bird like a ball, unable to escape its clutches no matter how hard she tried.
The raging flames were like a cage, trapping the female cultivator inside and turning her into a plaything for the Vermilion Bird.
Seeing that he no longer needed to take action, Pan Cong transformed back into human form and stood obediently to the side. He was secretly astonished, knowing that Zhu Que had only recently broken through to the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, yet the supernatural powers he used were all extremely profound, allowing him to manipulate the female cultivator at will.
Previously, he only thought that Zhuque was favored by the master because he had followed him for a long time, but now he realized that this person was not simple either.
'boom! '
Another muffled thud, Zhuque froze, and Pan Cong was also stunned.
At this moment, the battlefield fell silent.
The female cultivator's spirit floated in mid-air, motionless, cracks spreading all over her body, flames spreading along the cracks, shattering her into pieces, and she was actually killed by the Vermilion Bird!
"Uh……"
Zhuque scratched the back of his head, spread out his wings and claws to look at them, and realized he had accidentally hit too hard.
Pan Cong's lips twitched. Capturing the female cultivator alive would be the best outcome, as he could not only obtain information from her but also use her as a hostage. However, he dared not blame Zhuque.
"I'll let it go this time, but if you dare to embarrass this divine bird again, I won't let you off the hook," Zhuque said, completely oblivious to the concept of admitting fault. Instead, she scolded Pan Cong and left.
Before leaving, Zhuque glanced westward, his eyes filled with frustration and longing.
The first batch of Phoenix Blood Fruits was already inside it, so it no longer needed to guard the spirit tree day and night. What it was most eager to do now was to obtain the Qilin Origin, but the situation was far more complicated than it had imagined.
It learned from Qin Sang that the Zhaofeng Clan had been keeping an eye on Feng Mo, and there were likely other forces they hadn't discovered. If they wanted to do something big, they had to plan carefully and not treat it lightly.
Zhuque left dejectedly, leaving behind a sheepish-looking Pancong.
He won this battle, but he lost completely. He could only rush back to the battlefield to help Bai Ying'er capture the floating cricket, hoping to salvage some face.
On the battlefield, whether it was the battle between Bai Ying'er and Fu Ling, or the battle between the two armies, the outcome was no longer in doubt.
Surrounded by divine lightning, Bai Ying'er transformed into the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning. The violent lightning in her hands was as gentle as flowing water, which she could unleash and withdraw at will.
Fu Ling was being chased by the Twelve Thunder Gods and was exhausted from running for his life. Several of his treasures were destroyed by the Thunder Gods. He was still putting up a stubborn resistance, but it was clear to anyone with eyes that his defeat was inevitable.
Seeing her former formidable opponent in such a sorry state, Bai Ying'er was filled with emotion, realizing the difference in the quality of succession.
The cultivation techniques she practiced before only recorded a few Taoist arts, and their power was mediocre. She had to figure out many of them on her own.
The Taoist tradition is all-encompassing. No matter what kind of Taoist arts or talismans she wants to learn, whether they are rudimentary or profound, even some extremely unorthodox directions, there are predecessors who have tried them and there are experiences that can be learned from. The word 'complete' is not enough to describe the richness of the Taoist tradition.
My master told me that this is only one of the two academies and one prefecture of the Daoist court, and the Thunder Department's position has even been replaced by the Fighting Department!
One can only imagine how powerful the Daoist court must have been at its peak.
Bai Ying'er suddenly realized that she had been distracted during the battle, but it wasn't a big problem. The floating dragon was surrounded by the twelve thunder gods, and lightning rained down on it, leaving it with no way to escape.
At this moment, Bai Ying'er saw Pan Cong fly back. Their eyes met, and seeing that Pan Cong's expression was somewhat strange, she only said that the mastermind was dead. Although they hadn't been able to capture him alive, it was no big deal. This was already a resounding victory, making the entire Jiaosheng Kingdom proud!
With Pan Cong joining the fray, Fu Ling completely lost hope. Learning from past mistakes, Pan Cong was extremely cautious this time and finally captured Fu Ling alive.
When they appeared with the captured Floating Beetle, the Liufeng Kingdom completely lost its will to fight. The cultivators who wanted to resist were powerless to turn the tide and began a massive rout.
Bai Ying'er and Pan Cong then joined the battle, leading the Jiaosheng Kingdom's army to occupy the Liufeng Kingdom's city, gather the remaining troops, and after a short rest, they divided their forces into three routes to attack into the heart of the Liufeng Kingdom and launch a major counterattack.
Bai Ying'er personally led the central army, while Pan Cong and Qin Hou each led a large army to support them on both flanks. The three armies attacked and captured cities and strongholds, their advance pointing directly at the capital of Liufeng Kingdom.
Having lost its only Void Refinement cultivator and having just suffered a crushing defeat, the morale of the Liufeng Kingdom has plummeted, and its fighting spirit is completely gone, rendering it harmless. However, it is necessary to guard against the forces behind the Liufeng Kingdom sending powerful reinforcements. But with the protection of the Pan Cong Dharma Protector and the Vermilion Bird occasionally appearing on the battlefield to toy with the Liufeng Kingdom cultivators, no unexpected incidents have occurred.
The army of the Kingdom of Jiaosheng was invincible and eventually advanced on the capital, where they arrayed their troops at the city walls.
The siege was unremarkable; the ruler of Liufeng Kingdom offered only slight resistance before surrendering, and Liufeng Kingdom was thus destroyed!
From then on, Liufeng Kingdom was incorporated into the territory of Jiaosheng Kingdom, and the busiest time for Bai Ying'er and the others began.
In the post-war Liufeng Kingdom, everything was in ruins and the people were filled with anxiety. Qin Hou, carrying out the king's mission, sent out carefully selected men to occupy various cities and subdue the various tribes.
The Kingdom of Liufeng underwent a complete reshuffle. The royal family was reduced to slaves, falling from heaven to hell overnight. As for the other tribes, their status was not much different from before. Fuling had already surrendered, and as long as they made great contributions in the future, the royal family of Liufeng would still have the opportunity to escape slavery.
Bai Ying'er, however, did not concern herself with worldly affairs. Instead, she led some Taoist disciples on a journey through famous mountains and rivers to select a suitable location for building a ritual altar.
At the same time, Qin Hou continuously transported the spiritual materials he had plundered from Liufeng Kingdom to the Daoist sect.
Not long after Liufeng Kingdom surrendered, branch altars sprang up on its former territory. However, no new capital altar would be built in Liufeng Kingdom. The capital altar where Bai Ying'er was stationed was located on the border between the two countries, and all these branch altars would belong to Bai Ying'er.
Although it was the first immortal kingdom that the Horned Kingdom had annexed, they had a contingency plan in place, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, requiring no intervention from Qin Sang.
In fact, from the start of the war to the fall of Liufeng Kingdom, Qin Sang didn't even glance in this direction.
He had been at the Jingtan altar, focusing on inscribing the oath of the Thunder Sacrifice.
Once the Thunder Talisman was inscribed, the Horned Kingdom would have a strong guarantee. Fearing that the momentum would be too great and attract trouble, Qin Sang planned to wait for a while before sealing the Thunder Beast Guard with a Thunder Sacrifice Oath.
At this moment, Qin Sang was summoning the Taiyin Spirit Sword to comprehend the Four Symbols and Nine Luminaries Sword Formation.
As time passed, Qin Sang had completely mastered Chenxing and gradually integrated the true meaning of Taiyin into the sword formation.
A bright moon hangs in the sky, shining brightly alongside another bright star.
"It's time to comprehend the Sun Star."
This thought flashed through Qin Sang's mind.
If one seeks to achieve a balance of yin and yang, it is best to synchronize the Sun Star and the Moon Star. Based on previous experience, Qin Sang manipulated the black and white chess pieces, transforming them into two streams of light, one black and one white, which then disappeared into the sword formation.
With the black and white chess pieces back in their places, the feeling immediately changed. Qin Sang seemed to be standing in a higher position, overlooking the sword formation.
At this moment, Qin Sang's understanding of the sword formation had reached a new level compared to when he last used the black and white chess pieces. Looking at the Taiyin Star again, he suddenly had a peculiar feeling.
Qin Sang fell into deep thought, vaguely realizing something.
Previously, when it was just the Four Symbols Sword Formation, comprehending the Four Spirits and Four Symbols would reach a point where the Four Spirit Stars would be born, marking the completion of the sword formation. Afterwards, although it's still possible to approach the true Xuanwu Sacred Beast like the Xuanwu Star, it's on a completely different level.
Now, the Morning Star among the Nine Luminaries has reached its peak, while the Lunar Star seems to have no end and will never reach its peak. As long as I continue to comprehend the sword formation, I can make the moon keep getting brighter!
After the black and white chess pieces were integrated into the sword formation, Qin Sang inexplicably had this feeling.
"Could it be..."
Qin Sang thought of a possibility: could the Taiyin Star and the Taiyang Star be the key points of the formation?
It is not only the core of the Four Symbols and Nine Luminaries Sword Formation, but will also become the core of the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation in the future!
Only the core of the formation has unlimited potential.
Every formation must have a core; the core of the previous formation was the four main stars of the Four Directions Sword Domain.
Qin Sang's imagined Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Formation originated from the Taoist Divine Court, which imitated the celestial bodies and was further divided into the Dou Department and the Lei Department. Qin Sang had always thought that the core of the formation might be a star representing a top-tier talisman god within the Ziwei Enclosure, Taiwei Enclosure, or Tianshi Enclosure of the Dou Department. He had been working towards this goal, but could it actually be the Sun Star and the Moon Star, which are among the Nine Luminaries?
"Yin and Yang... Yin and Yang..."
Qin Sang kept repeating these two words to herself.
Yin and Yang are the foundation of Taoist practices. Whether it is the talisman school or the alchemy school, all methods are based on the same principle.
Although Qin Sang does not practice the Yin-Yang Dao, the Daoist sect has integrated the Yin-Yang Dao into its heritage, engraving it into the very bones of every Daoist disciple. Any method, when examined in depth, can be explained using the Yin-Yang Dao, and the thunder magic he is most familiar with is no exception.
When the Taoist sect established the Divine Court, it was impossible for them not to consider the principles of Yin and Yang.
Qin Sang felt that he might have touched upon some kind of essence, which would undoubtedly be of great help to his next comprehension of the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation. He had to thank the black and white chess pieces for this.
He 'looked' at the two chess pieces, these two treasures that he still couldn't understand. No matter how he called out to them, they wouldn't give him any response, but they would subtly help and enlighten him time and time again.
