Chapter 1446: Target, Tongue Blazing Lotus (Monthly Ticket Request at Month's Start, Combined Volume)

The winds and clouds at the horizon shift, dragons and tigers follow each other.

From a second-rank disciple of the Heavenfire Sect to the revered Northern Court Tiger King, from a wandering soul of the netherworld to a living soul of the mortal realm—so fervent, so exalted.

The world, once a monotonous blood-red, now splits into five colors; clusters of swaying spider lilies sprout wheat ears; to this day I still recall the satisfaction of the first mouthful of noodles sliding down my throat—oil, salt, sauce, vinegar bursting on the tongue, scalding rapeseed oil frying into tiny bubbles.

All past events, gone and done.

In the yin-yang clash, within the crevices where great powers press and strain, the mighty, the martial sages, the great enlightened—those towering figures once looked up to—now fall like dumplings dropped into boiling water, bones and flesh vanished; yet that insignificant, negligible second-rank disciple of the Heavenfire Sect, through several daring gambles, seized the opportunity no one else could obtain, grasped the harvest no one else could imagine!

My sister also successfully revived.

All suffering at this moment dissipates like smoke, transformed into returns beyond imagination.

He lacks nothing now.

Shackles burst open, spiritual insights collide.

"Su Hebru" — his aura rises steadily, the Wolf Lord's mood and pride climbing with it; all prior pressure from the Great Shun dissolves like smoke.

Laomengyao gives a small hop, bursts into a smile.

Fusion successful, living a second life; the master had her come out first, to greet unexpectedly—perhaps it would bring unforeseen benefit to the elder brother, and indeed it did!

Ah————

"Stupid elder brother, luckily the master is a good person."

Laomengyao sighs, then reflects: she has never been as clever as Laoyingtian; from that tiny village, Laoyingtian made his way into the Heavenfire Sect as a disciple, while she only managed, through her elder brother's painstaking effort, to barely enter the Ruoyu Pavilion.

"Elder brother is truly formidable!"

In a dark corner, Liangxiang Han silently watches Laomengyao, deeply displeased—such a beautiful woman, never seen before; where did she crawl out from some obscure corner? She just greeted someone—was it the Northern Court Tiger King?

What is the relationship between these two?

Liangxiang Han's eyes flicker; instinctively she wants to target every woman whose beauty matches or exceeds her own.

Inside the quiet chamber.

The corpse emits a warm blood glow, vitality abundant.

Laomengyao revived early and left seclusion; Xizi Yu's own cultivation lags far behind, progress equally slow, yet precisely this slow fusion makes every step astonishingly clear and transparent, allowing Liang Qu and Long Eying to reap greater gains.

Previous netherworld experiences, Liang Qu's breakthrough insights, stacked with this spirit-flesh union, amount to profound accumulation leading to sudden eruption, thorough integration—Long Eying's comprehension deepens rapidly; after Heaven-Man Unity, she now shows signs of piercing heaven and piercing earth.

Heaven-Man Unity, Piercing Heaven and Piercing Earth, Knocking on Heaven's Gate.

Liang Qu anticipates becoming the world's top paired dragon couple, while simultaneously feeling and recording on the pages.

"True resurrection is possible; currently there are roughly two methods: directly using the Supreme Body, or pairing an ordinary body with part of the original soul and seven or more super-grade blood treasures."

"Neither method is easily exploited or casually replicated; super-grade blood treasures are rare, and the Supreme Body, once used, diminishes—on the Great Snow Mountain, over ten thousand years, only three Supreme Embryos exist."

"But how is lifespan calculated after resurrection? Yin realm lifespan is long, yang realm lifespan short—after revival, which lifespan applies? If it's the yang lifespan's limit combined with yin years, then it's over."

"In strength, there's no deficit—Mengyao has Wolf Smoke Peak level; is this due to the Supreme Body or a first-grade blood treasure? Need to see what level Xizi Yu is at, to compare properly."

Liang Qu records abundantly.

He has the habit of recording ideas; aside from a few core points, he records everything—though Yaolong's memory is not poor, writing on paper makes it easier to organize thoughts, including his own cultivation understanding, which he likewise records; if released, it would surely be a peerless secret treasure capable of sparking bloody conflict.

On the high platform.

Lamas one after another are brought up, plaques on their backs, hats on their heads, enduring identification by serfs.

"Boom!"

The horizon's airflow explodes; Su Hebru's breath gradually eases, his aura retracting.

The Wolf Lord, facing Zhang Longxiang, impatiently wants to vent: "Tiger King, how?"

Laoyingtian glances around, his eyes flickering.

"No problem! Now we are all allies—know self and know enemy, only then can we better oppose foes!" The Wolf Lord understands, gives a glance; this moment is precisely the time to boost morale!

Laoyingtian nods, clasps his hands: "Thanks to the Wolf Lord's protection of the Dao, gains are not small—root sea, divine powers, temple seating—all gained, especially root sea, now tenfold!"

Tenfold!

An uproar spreads.

The surrounding martial sages are stunned by this astonishing number.

The Wolf Lord's spirit lifts, his spine involuntarily straightens slightly, heroic vigor arising.

Tenfold root sea!

Tiger Soul Vitality Spirit Unity—having a qi sea makes one Zhen Xiang; entering Yaolong, one thousand qi seas equal one root sea; qi seas have limits, but root seas connect heaven and earth, boundless—hence called Boundless Sea!

Su Hebru's Zhen Xiang has long settled; his qi sea is the breakthrough beyond Zhen Xiang's limit—six thousandfold, starting point being sixfold root sea, several times that of an ordinary Yaolong!

Now even tenfold—how long has he broken through? Only a few short months!

Root sea transport—later stages grow faster; initial speed is like a snowball rolling.

Previously, the old toad already gave Su Hebru one epiphany—in just a few days, with no accumulation at all, another comes—what kind of genius is this?

The Tiger King is slightly older than Zhang Longxiang, now over 150, still has over 600 years; given time, he will surely be a seed of the Heaven-Jade Pillar!

Indeed, not as good as your Dragon-Elephant King or Huai King, but the Tiger King is no pushover!

Lady Dama sighs slightly, envious of the Northern Court, muttering when the Heaven-Jade Pillar of her southern border will appear; thinking back and forth, Liangxiang Han's face enters his mind.

Wolf Smoke Reverse Cultivation Tiger Venom Insects—thirty-something, already entered Zhen Xiang, not inferior to the Great Shun's Bo Guangyi; facing the three-pillar breakthrough, his character is even more unyielding and indomitable—under pressure, breakthrough, directly into mid-stage of one realm, unlike Bo Guangyi who lacks follow-through; most crucially, he is the Azure Pattern Grain Person—thinking this, Lady Dama feels much better.

Great Witch Lady—rare to see under heaven; at this age, even rarer, like the Gaoshan Snow Lotus.

The Wolf Lord notices Lady Dama's expression, secretly pleased, his gaze unintentionally sweeping toward Zhang Longxiang.

Zhang Longxiang avoids the gaze, thinks of many sorrowful things, and truly can't hold back—he rubs his nose.

He didn't misremember—Liang Qu, upon first becoming Yaolong, already had twenty-threefold root sea.

After the imperial capital sparring, he once vaguely said he had two one-thousandfold?

Forget it.

We are all allies.

Zhang Longxiang's expression remained normal: "Congratulations."

"Hahaha, hahaha! Thank you, thank you!" The Wolf Lord laughed loudly to the sky.

The laughter had not yet faded when, suddenly, a startling aura rose from the rear, not as great as Suhe Baru's, yet also quite extraordinary!

The Wolf Lord's joy came to an abrupt halt.

All the Yao Long present had experienced the same stage, all were sharp, they exchanged glances, and spoke in unison: "Passing Heaven, Severing Earth?"

"No, no, that's not it, the final step!"

Li Da Xian's mind stirred, and he sensed the difference.

As expected.

The aura came quickly and went quickly, and was not, in the true sense, a breakthrough made in one sustained effort.

But everyone knew, it was not far off.

Who?

Who has achieved this breakthrough?

Yao Long three steps, after Passing Heaven, Severing Earth comes Knocking Heaven's Gate, once knocked, one becomes Yao Long—who is it? Which side's genius has become a Yao Long seed?

The Tiger King may have grown from small to great, but Passing Heaven, Severing Earth is from nothing to something, about to produce Yao Long, and the meaning of the breakthrough is more important by one part!

The Wolf Lord, Li Da Xian, and the Su King pondered deeply, and in their impression, their own side had no masters near this stage.

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

The familiar laughter, the familiar rhythm.

The Wolf Lord and Li Da Xian's faces suddenly changed; they wanted to step back, but before they could move, Liang Qu had already embraced Long Eying's waist and appeared before everyone.

"Oh dear, everyone, a moment's inattention, my wife nearly passed Heaven, Severing Earth—though only slightly off, not much, through painstaking effort, but since she is not Yao Long, she cannot fly, so I can only hold her, unable to free my hands to salute, hahaha, truly sorry."

Li Da Xian: "————"

The Wolf Lord:

"

The Wolf Lord clearly remembered that when Liang Qu entered Zhen Xiang, in the Battle of Bei Ting, he could manifest a green dragon, carrying himself or others to fly0

Had he forgotten this move?

"The number one Yao Long couple in the world, it seems they will appear on the Huai Wang couple." Su Wang offered congratulations.

Upon these words, the reminded crowd was startled again.

Yao Long couple!

Indeed, that's right.

The world is not without female martial sages; from ancient times to now, there have also been female and male martial sages who took a liking to each other, secretly involved, all are Yao Long, with no talk of functional decline—taking a liking is quite normal, but those are later matters, "second marriages," even "seventh or eighth marriages," playing tricks. Liang Qu and Long Eying, from humble beginnings, cultivated together, both became Yao Long, truly unheard of!

Hand in hand, together, the martial sage couple who both became Yao Long!

A rare treasure.

Outside the crowd, Cang Hou E Qirui was overjoyed, his eyes gleaming, almost wanting to emit two dazzling beams of light.

This is the Great Shun, this is the Great Shun!

E Qirui only felt himself standing on the peak of a snow mountain, gazing into the boundless distance, perceiving the future mist.

The E family has not had such a decisive and correct clan head for three thousand years!

The genealogy begins with him.

The Wolf Lord nearly wanted to burst out in curses.

Who is not good!

Suhe Baru just broke through, the Great Li Taizu came to attack, Bei Ting lost soldiers and generals; Suhe Baru just had an epiphany, Liang Qu's wife also had an epiphany, a Yao Long couple is imminent—could it be targeting us!

"Ah, far off, my wife is only forty————" Suddenly thinking that Eying dislikes mentioning her age, Liang Qu coughed once, waved his hand, "Cough, in one's prime, plenty of time.

You and I————

Are almost merging into each other's bodies.

The Wolf Lord's interest waned, he turned and left.

", How did the Wolf Lord just leave?" Liang Qu intended to detain him.

"Perhaps he has pressing matters." Zhang Longxiang guessed.

"Ah, a pity, I originally wanted to treat everyone to a meal, all of us happily enjoying ourselves, Li Da Xian, since the Wolf Lord is not here————"

"I am not particularly interested in food, lately I have indeed been busy." Li Da Xian thought of the beef tendon and brains, changed the subject, "Earlier, the villagers of the Great Snow Mountain blocked the road, I found it troublesome, but Huai Wang's plan is simple, yet very effective."

"Oh————"

Liang Qu brought his wife to fly in the sky, boasting, Long Eying's smile was full, her whole weight leaning on Liang Qu.

From behind and to the side, "Suhe Baru" looked around, saw Lao Mengyao making faces in the crowd, and was quite helpless.

This girl, her courage has grown a bit.

Everything is complete, the only regret is that we cannot yet recognize each other.

Compared to the Bei Ting undercover agent, clearly Liang Qu's side is safer, his future broader; if there is any oversight in revival, under heaven, only Liang Qu has the way to resolve it.

"I suspect, there is an affair!" Li Xianghan's eyes widened.

The legend says the Bei Ting Tiger King is not single-mindedly cultivating? Actually, he has a relationship with a woman!

Shocking secret news.

Li Xianghan felt this news was very valuable, perhaps she could grasp Suhe Baru, tonight, waiting for the Huai Wang to descend, to assist her cultivation, perhaps she could sell it for a good price!

Hehehe.

The old monk stood aside, watching the righteous indignation fill the high platform, felt the form was good, but there were still several stubborn individuals, looking at their clothes, all were from fairly wealthy minor nobles, also rather core leaders, so he let Huai Kong go fetch them.

Huai Kong went to find the commander, the commander saw the royal order, and immediately obeyed.

More than fifty minor nobles were seized, and in their panic they pressed forward to the old monk.

Seeing the bald monk, the left and right Dharma Protectors, the otter, and over fifty others instantly rejoiced, rushing forward to complain, calling it a demonic invasion that destroyed the Holy Sect's transmission.

The old monk glanced around, then suddenly approached one person and asked: "Was this disturbance deliberately caused by you?"

The minor noble's heart jumped, but his face remained calm: "No—"

"Bang!"

The watermelon burst, brain fluid flowed, and the headless minor noble collapsed limply to the ground.

Scarface stepped forward, dragging the pant leg to pull the body out.

The bloody smell lingered, grating on the nerves; those nearby screamed in terror, and Huai Kong also showed surprise, but then suddenly recalled that Liang Qu seemed to have a lie-detection ability, apparently inherited from his ancestral master, and with that thought he fell silent.

The old monk sat cross-legged: "The Lotus Sect is already a demon's den; all you have seen and heard are the followers of Mara, aiding Zhou in his cruelty, deceiving themselves and others without realizing it."

Tongue radiant lotus.

The minor nobles who had just been panicking widened their eyes.

To hold such sincere faith naturally means familiarity with Buddhist scriptures and principles—how could they not know of Mara?

It is said that when the Buddha attained enlightenment, the demon king Mara, resentful, provoked: "I will destroy your teachings!"

The Buddha asked: "How will you destroy them? My temples fill the four directions, my disciples as numerous as forest trees."

Mara replied: "I will spend two thousand five hundred years letting my descendants don robes, infiltrate your temples, distort the scriptures, and corrupt the precepts."

The Buddha responded: "Then, my true disciples will shed their robes and enter the world of dust. Though your descendants may turn the temples into prisons, the world shall become a place of practice."

Scarface glared fiercely, holding his precept blade.

The minor noble's spine broke out in cold sweat, his hairs stood on end; though he did not know why, the other's single sentence made him instinctively want to believe.

Outside the tent.

Several soldiers guarded outside, chatting and joking, telling the vulgar jokes about rescuing Ming Fei that day, when suddenly their spines chilled, they turned back and saw it was the young monk who had been with the old monk earlier.

"They are all unfortunate people—why make things difficult for each other?" Huai Kong sighed.

"Yes, yes, yes, the little monk is right—we were just saying that." The leader exchanged glances, and those around nodded repeatedly.

These two monks are not ordinary; even if one does not take offense, one must not provoke them.

Huai Kong said nothing, nor did he wish to dwell on it, and reached out to pull open the curtain.

In the astonished gaze of the soldiers, the minor nobles who had previously been steadfast in their faith now completely changed their demeanor, filled with righteous indignation, filing out in single file.

"Demons! The Lotus Sect is the demon! The demon that destroys scriptures! The heavenly troops of the Great Shun are the Buddha!"

Dozens rushed out, shouting loudly, scattering the crowd beneath the high platform.

"Hiss!"

The soldiers sucked in cold air; having been here half a month, how could they not know this group's stubbornness?

This just——. Finished?

Huai Kong bowed: "Generals, I do not know if there are still stubborn resistors on the snowy plains; if there are, or if any place still resists, please come into the tent, or send someone to guide us, and we may go."

"There are, there are—many more like this. Master, this way please."

Late April, the three sides gradually negotiated, judged, and distributed the spoils.

Upon entering May, the cleanup efforts were, in fact, largely concluded.

The old monk led Huai Kong, along with the arriving great master of the Hanging Temple, traveling everywhere; resistance in all places melted like snow under sunlight.

With the Treatise on Consciousness-Only, things proceeded very smoothly.

Martial power and faith—the Lotus Sect failed to stir up any notable waves.

In Zi Yu's courtyard, Zi Yu stood in post stance training; Luo Mengyao followed Long Yao and Long Li out to sample delicacies, freely trying the pleasures brought by taste.

Liang Qu saw the report, surprised yet also feeling it was only natural.

The Tongue-Recognition Method.

The Tongue-Recognition Method can enhance credibility and persuasiveness, but it is not so omnipotent as to achieve brainwashing; combined with the old monk's principles and insights, using their spear against their shield, on the land of the Great Snow Mountain, paired with accumulated evil karma and the spontaneous cooperation of numerous serfs in their grievance assembly, it can produce extraordinary results.

Like entering an uninhabited realm, they slaughtered the Lotus Sect, leaving not a single piece of armor.

The old monk seemed to have gained great benefit; the last time they met, he had actually reached the second stage!

How long has the old monk been cultivating the Yinglong? Still one step behind the Yue King.

The Yue King remains at the first stage, while the old monk later surpassed him!

"Did Master Huayan create the Cheng Weishi Lun here in the Great Snow Mountain? It's so effective?"

Liang Qu rubbed his chin.

Blood River Realm.

Wu Lingxu and Fei Taiyu opened the furnace; the bloody meatballs constantly drifted blood-smoke, like boiling water in an iron pot at every moment, evaporating large amounts of steam.

Whenever it shrinks, a large amount of blood treasure must be added to resist erosion and maintain balance.

Daily consumption is no less than ten thousand people.

There are five immortals in the Yin realm, so how could the supreme body of the Yang realm be only four?

"Only take this one portion?" Wu Lingxu sighed.

Fei Taiyu helplessly: "Only this portion remains; if there were more, it would instead arouse suspicion, or perhaps none could be kept; the Fourth Immortal says he is powerless, and the Yang realm may have immortals skilled in divination."

"Indeed, divination—guessing was correct; we can delay no longer." Wu Lingxu straightened his expression.

The reason the third Dragon Lord's node is critical is not merely to seek the natural outcome of heaven and earth.

Moreover, due to the development of Yang realm martial arts, immortals accumulate more and more; the later it gets, the harder it becomes to succeed!
