Chapter 135 Phoenix Clan
Everything that happened today quickly swept through the entire Northern Imperial City!
"The divine strategist has reappeared and claims that only by advocating war can there be a glimmer of hope, while advocating peace will only lead to death!"
"Really? Another so-called diviner has appeared? Is he just a fraud?"
“It’s absolutely true! Zhan Yiyuan, who possessed the copper coins of that old man who broke through the heavens, has continuously extracted rare treasures such as triple-turn cordyceps and strange spirit finger bones from the Li family’s mine. Even the diviner of heavenly secrets, Daoist Tiankun, personally came to verify them, and the heavenly secret copper coins on his person are genuine!”
With the help of war-promoting forces such as the Sun Moon Sect and the Sword Sect, the prophecy of the Old Daoist of Broken Heaven spread extremely quickly and widely.
Meanwhile, Li Lan and the old man behind him, Duan Tian, also attracted the attention of the entire city.
"This Zhan Yiyuan is incredibly lucky! He made over 30,000 jin of immortal essence with just the luck brought by a single copper coin!"
"What are Gu Shengtian, Xue Lianyuan, and other masters of Origin Techniques compared to him... they're all utterly weak!"
"Hehe, this guy has a famous saying: 'In the face of absolute luck, strength is nothing.' Now it seems that's indeed true!"
In comparison, even the battle between Xue Lianyuan and Gu Shengtian, which was quite exciting, paled in comparison at this moment!
……
Li Shi, inside the main hall.
"Mr. Tiankun, what exactly is going on? How can there be another successor of the Heavenly Secrets in this world?"
Li Cangwu and the others were all very puzzled.
Master Tiankun's face was gloomy, as if he was recalling something. After a long while, he said, "To be precise, that person cannot be considered a true successor of the Tianji Sect at all!"
“Our Tianji Sect has always been a single lineage with only one successor. However, before my master passed away, he saw some cause and effect in the dark. So, he divided the sect’s token, the Tianji Copper Coin, in two. I got one, and he passed the other on to another old friend of his. He also left a will that whoever can reunite the Tianji Copper Coin will receive the final Tianji inheritance… He also said that this was for the sake of the greater good of the Tianji Sect being able to continue.”
"That old scoundrel was nothing more than a street rogue. My master only knew him briefly when he was roaming the world. Who would have thought my master would make such a foolish mistake..."
Daoist Tiankun shook his head, clearly dissatisfied with his master, and said:
"He doesn't even understand the most basic techniques of my Heavenly Mystery Sect. All these years, I've been searching for his whereabouts!"
"I never imagined he would even sell my master's copper coins!"
Upon hearing this, Li Cangwu and the others were surprised, but they racked their brains and still couldn't figure out what Tiankun Daoist's master intended to do.
The scenes that such a highly accomplished person saw before his death must have been extraordinary.
"Now that the Heavenly Secret Coin has appeared, it won't be long before Mr. Tiankun obtains the final inheritance..."
Li Cangwu asked, "Does the master have any way to break the power of the Heavenly Secret Coin?"
This is the real business!
Tomorrow is the final battle. Now that Gu Shengtian has been defeated, the only hope for the Sun Moon Sect and the Sword Sect is to ask the alien source to take action.
Can face alien forces...
Li Cangwu truly had no idea what to expect.
After all, that guy wasn't a Source Master at all; he didn't rely on his own strength, he just relied on luck!
Although luck is not above cause and effect, what if... Li Lan himself also has cause and effect?
Daoist Tiankun shook his head: "The Heavenly Secret Coins on his body have been activated. It's too difficult to seal or break them!"
Li Cangwu said, "Please, sir, you must find a way to break this!"
"After this matter is resolved, my Li family will definitely help you obtain the Heavenly Secret Coin!"
After pondering for a long time, Daoist Tiankun finally said, "Very well, I can give it a try, but I need to borrow something from your Li family."
Li Cangwu asked, "What is it?"
"A single phoenix feather."
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Li Cangwu's old eyes.
Daoist Tiankun glanced at him, a hint of mockery in his eyes, and said, "If that important figure from the Phoenix Clan hadn't been residing within the Li Clan, why would I have come here?"
Li Cangwu nodded, "So that's how it is."
At that time, all the major forces were searching for the Heavenly Mystery Sect, but the Li family did it without lifting a finger. Now it seems that Daoist Tiankun saw through the Li family's true nature and took the initiative to come to them.
Daoist Tiankun continued to explain, "A single phoenix feather from that being is enough to shake the cause and effect of the world! Heh, a single ripple in the ocean of cause and effect can be an irresistible catastrophe for all living beings..."
"The Heavenly Secret Coin is a spiritual object. It will lie dormant when cause and effect change. In this way, it can destroy all the luck on that kid's body, and even kill him under the influence of cause and effect!"
Li Cangwu and the others were all startled. They all knew that this was the most terrifying forbidden technique of the Heavenly Mystery Sect: the Causal Reversal Technique!
Li Cangwu could also see that Daoist Tiankun must have ulterior motives, but he still nodded and said, "I cannot make a decision on this matter either. I need to inform you first and then give you an answer."
After saying that, he left immediately.
Before long, Li Cangwu entered an underground palace.
The underground palace was equipped with a Heavenly Yin Array, which blocked out all sunlight and yang energy from the outside world. It was also filled with millennia-old black ice, which was so cold that it chilled one to the bone, and a chilling aura swept over one's face.
Ordinary immortals would not survive long before turning into ice sculptures and dying here!
Li Cangwu walked directly to the deepest part. He felt that every breath he took was filled with ice shards. He used his immortal power to continuously dissolve them, and finally, the gate to the deepest part of the underground palace opened.
A terrifying aura of flames swept over him, and in an instant, he felt as if he were in purgatory. His soul trembled. He raised his eyes slightly and saw a middle-aged woman sitting on a primordial ice throne in the underground palace. Her two snow-white legs were crossed, and her long black dress hung down from her toes. Her left hand supported her chin as if she were taking a nap.
Her posture was languid and casual, yet she resembled a king in the dark night, with black flames burning and spreading around her like a vast ocean!
She was engulfed in black flames, yet she hid within the Heavenly Yin Formation and inside the Xuanbing!
“Someone is holding the Heavenly Secrets Coin and intends to obstruct our search for the Primordial Divine Source. We need to borrow your Phoenix Feather to pry open the cause and effect and kill this person.”
This mighty being, an invincible figure below the level of immortal saints, was now treating this woman with such utmost respect and caution.
The woman slowly opened her eyes, which were as deep as an abyss.
Without a word, a black light floated up to Li Cangwu, who hurriedly took it with both hands!
……
Soon after.
Li Cangwu returned to the Li Clan Hall.
“Feng Yu, I have already borrowed it for you.”
He said to Master Tiankun, "Tomorrow's battle will depend on your magical power!"
As he spoke, he took out a black feather and handed it to Master Tiankun.
Master Tiankun was extremely excited. He accepted the phoenix feather and nodded repeatedly: "Tomorrow, we will surely be defeated in the battle against the alien source!"
……
"Fifth Patriarch, is everything settled?"
After Li Cangwu left, Li Daoling and Li Daofeng respectfully asked questions.
Li Cangwu said, "Daoist Tiankun has agreed to help, but... we still need to make some preparations to ensure everything is in order."
Li Daoling said, "Please give your instructions, Fifth Patriarch."
Li Cangwu pondered, "How is the formation being set up on the old Blood Master's side?"
"Soon," Li Daoling replied.
"Save every effort, finish it tonight!"
Li Cangwu said, "If Blood Refining Source wins tomorrow, that would be good. If he loses... once Zhan Yiyuan finds the Primordial Divine Source, we will immediately activate the great formation and seize it!"
--The Primordial Divine Source already possesses sentience. Once discovered, it is very likely to escape and hide in the world, making it even more impossible to find.
Therefore, we must set up a grand formation to await any eventuality.
The old Blood Master of the Blood Origin lineage, the master of the two prodigies Blood Refining Source and Blood Refining Stone, had been preparing for this matter.
Upon hearing this, Li Daoling's expression changed slightly. Should he directly snatch it?
"I'm afraid that by then, the Sun Moon Sect and the Sword Sect..."
This could trigger a major war.
"As long as we obtain the Primordial Divine Source, what does it matter if we fight a great battle with them?"
Li Cangwu sneered: "The Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Sect are nothing in front of our Li family!"
Even if the Sword Saint Dugu from the Sword Sect were to emerge, so what? If it really comes to that, with that person in the underground palace in charge, even a Sword Saint would have to bow down!
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away." Li Daoling left immediately.
"In that case, the Primordial Divine Source should be unable to escape the grasp of my Li family..."
Li Cangwu muttered to himself, "With both options ready, there shouldn't be any more mistakes!"
……
Sun and Moon Sect.
"Does he really possess some divine artifact?"
The First Elder, Changsun Jiuye, was also extremely surprised.
"Indeed, we have made the wrong choice today. We cannot afford to make the same mistake in tomorrow's battle!"
Cao Yueshu spoke calmly.
Hearing this, Changsun Jiuye felt extremely uncomfortable. It was she who insisted on letting Gu Shengtian fight, but who knew that Gu Shengtian would actually lose... So, in a sense, today's defeat should be blamed on her.
This made her both ashamed and angry, and she said coldly, "In the end, it still relies on external things, not on your own strength!"
"If he were to truly confront Blood Refining Source, he might not necessarily prevail, because Blood Refining Source is a person burdened with karma. Don't forget, luck cannot suppress karma!"
Cao Yueshu frowned slightly, but he didn't want to argue with her, so he said, "For tomorrow's battle, I intend to let Zhan Yiyuan take the lead."
Changsun Jiuye said calmly, "The sect leader will be arriving soon. You can report this matter directly to the sect leader."
Tomorrow's decisive battle will determine the ownership of the Primordial Divine Source, so leaders and sect masters from all sides may appear!
……
And this moment.
Inside the Sun and Moon Tower.
Li Lan took out half a copper coin and examined it repeatedly.
He had felt that this ancient copper coin was somewhat unusual from the beginning, but he never expected that it would actually be a secret artifact.
Just holding it in your hand gives you a peculiar feeling, as if there are many hazy light curtains and indistinct flowing light images in front of you, but you can't see them clearly or touch them.
This thing will be returned to Elder Duan Tian later; he has no interest in the inheritance of the Heavenly Mystery Sect.
Then, he took out the storage rings one by one!
His harvest today was enormous, totaling about 30,000 catties of immortal essence!
"The True Dragon Passes Through Tribulation, the Five-Colored Immortal..."
He muttered to himself, "We lack the immortal techniques of the Stone Clan. It would be unwise for me to rashly raise my cultivation level!"
He needs to connect and merge the True Dragon Technique and the Stone Clan Immortal Technique within the tribulation force, which will be more beneficial to his future cultivation.
"Let's continue to improve the Great Dao True Eye Technique and the Three Laws of the Bright Venerable!"
As soon as Li Lan had this thought, a vast amount of immortal energy flowed out from his storage ring. He was like a bottomless pit, an abyss, frantically absorbing and engulfing it...
Even a powerful being couldn't absorb 30,000 catties of immortal essence in a hurry; doing so might cause them to explode and die.
But Li Lan didn't care at all!
……
at the same time.
"Such a change has occurred in the Northern Emperor City?"
Somewhere in northern Xinjiang.
Gu Ling, an envoy from the Celestial Court, received a secret letter from the Celestial Court organization in Beidi City, and learned about everything that had happened that day.
"If Li Lan has truly returned to the Immortal Realm, and he has met with the Bright Lord, he probably won't sit idly by regarding the matter of advocating peace or war; he will most likely participate... We should go and see."
Her mission was to come here to find someone who should have died long ago in the Abyss Realm.
He immediately got up and headed towards the Northern Imperial City.
