Chapter 480: Ji Xianren's Days

The white cloud carried the immortal, leisurely flying back.

It was just that the immortal's Daoist robe was torn, and he had injuries on his body, losing a bit of the calm image of an immortal, but adding a few more stern and firm looks of eliminating demons and defending the Dao. Beside him followed a white fox, as big as a cat, sitting calmly on the cloud, licking the messy fur on its paws and chest.

When flying over Nanshan, heaven and earth suddenly rose with wind and clouds again.

The chaotic hurricane blew the sky into a mess, and the white-gray clouds gradually gathered into ink color, with the pressure of an approaching thunderstorm.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

There was really lightning flashing in the clouds.

"Hmm?"

The person and the fox stopped, both looking up and staring at the sky.

The sky seemed like a bottomless abyss, with who knew what hidden behind the dark clouds, as if someone was also staring at them.

This thunderstorm cloud came unusually.

It looked a bit like the wrath of the Nine Heavens.

Was it that a divine official had returned to the Nine Heavens, reported the news of the Saint-Protecting Husheng Husheng Zhenjun's defeat and death, and the Heavenly Venerable was furious, so he was getting angry?

Was it the decree of the Heavenly Venerable that came, or another Husheng Husheng Zhenjun?

If it was another Husheng Husheng Zhenjun or god, Lin Jue was not afraid. If it was the Heavenly Venerable personally descending a decree and casting a spell, wouldn't that raise the dispute to the level of an Emperor?

"Hmph!"

The white cloud slowly descended.

The person and the fox landed on the peak of Nanshan, took out the Wind-Stopping Thunder Seal, both staring at the firmament, ready to respond, and also ready to escape from Nanshan, simultaneously shouting:

"The Saint-Protecting Husheng Husheng Zhenjun committed many evils, so I slashed him. You lot, as gods, do not take it as a warning, do you want to make mistake after mistake?"

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The thunder in the sky was deafening, and electric dragons danced wildly.

However, no thunder ever descended.

After a while, the thunder gradually became smaller, the hurricane slowly ceased, and the twisting and struggling electric arcs became weaker and weaker. The thunderclouds in this sky, just like their gathering, abruptly dissipated again.

"It's gone!"

The fox withdrew its gaze, tilted its head and said to Lin Jue.

"Hmm..."

Lin Jue's heart gradually calmed down.

Maybe the Heavenly Venerable did not want to make more enemies at this time, or maybe he still had a bit of the god's sense of propriety, feeling he was in the wrong, so he extinguished his anger and dissipated the wind and thunder.

Since ancient times, in every dispute between gods, it was never heard that an Emperor or Heavenly Venerable personally fought. It was rarely heard in ancient times either; they were all disputes between subordinate generals and disciples, deciding victory or defeat without deciding life or death, actually comparing who was more in line with the current will of the people. The winner would enter the central position of the Nine Heavens and enjoy the world's incense, while the loser would consciously retreat and be gradually worn away by the decreasing incense belief.

So even ancient great emperors like the Green Emperor still existed today and would not be executed.

In short, this matter was over, at least for the time being.

As long as the Heavenly Venerable did not turn defeat into victory, it would probably always be like this.

Actually, the Saint-Protecting Husheng Husheng Zhenjun was more powerful than Lin Jue thought.

These True Lords, being able to sit in the position of Husheng Husheng Zhenjun, it seems that at the very least, they have their own unique points.

Lin Jue winning against him also took a lot of effort.

However, now the Four Sages of the Dharma Protectors under the Heavenly Venerable had already died in battle, and three remained. Relying on four True Lords was already unable to deal with the offensives from the North and South, so how would they protect the Dao with only three? And the defeat and death of the Saint-Protecting Husheng Husheng Zhenjun was big news, which would obviously have symbolic meaning, perhaps becoming the beginning of the collapse of the Heavenly Venerable's lineage.

Lin Jue drove the cloud and walked another distance, seeing Daoist Jiang.

That was a small hill some distance from Shiding City. A simple thatched pavilion was built on the top of the mountain, just right for overlooking Shiding City, and Daoist Jiang was sitting cross-legged here.

Seeing the Daoist come riding a cloud, she moved her gaze away from the distant Shiding City:

"Daoist friend, where did the wind and thunder just now come from?"

"I also don't know."

"Hmm. Perhaps the Heavenly Venerable was furious, raising wind and thunder." Daoist Jiang withdrew her gaze, "He will not make a move. If he makes a move, after this battle, he will vanish into smoke and clouds. Daoist friend, just be careful."

"And you?"

"Me?" Daoist Jiang looked at him, "My task is to spread incense for the Emperor and Yili Shenjun in Qinzhou during peaceful times. Now that the peace in Qinzhou has ended, my task is also completed."

Saying this, she pointed to the distant Shiding City:

"Without the interference of gods, this city will soon be broken, and then the Yue King's army will drive straight in, certainly breaking Qinzhou. At that time, the Great Jiang court will also be considered finished, and what remains will be the struggle between the North and South. That is no longer a matter I can help with. Even if it is to consolidate the incense of the Emperor and Yili Shenjun in Qinzhou, it is a matter for other Daoist Masters of the Zhenjian Palace."

"Are you returning to Heaven?"

"My merit is full." Daoist Jiang said, and asked him again, "Has Daoist friend found your own cave for pure cultivation?"

"Deep in Fengshan."

"I will definitely come to visit then."

Daoist Jiang turned her head and continued to look at Shiding City: "In the struggle between heaven and earth, how many lives have melted into scorched earth."

Lin Jue also turned his head to look.

His gaze passed through several layers of green mountains, and Shiding City was right before his eyes.

The first soldier had already climbed onto the city wall.

The army behind was following one after another.

The defending army was panicked and retreated one after another.

Coming to his senses, Daoist Jiang beside him was still sitting cross-legged, her whole body still as white as if she were dressed up, as if she were glowing. And different from before, now on her body, divine light was really gradually rising.

It was just not white light, but five-colored divine light.

The white clouds in the sky opened, revealing rosy light.

Daoist Jiang stood up, dusted off the dust on her body, still holding the whisk, looked at him and said:

"Daoist friend, I will return to report first, and then come to visit you."

"I will also return to the mountain first."

"May Daoist friend be smooth and satisfied."

"Bring a word for me to Yili Shenjun Kuniang: since ancient times, the benevolent have no enemies. When Shiding City is broken, please ask the attacking soldiers to have a bit more benevolence."

"Naturally."

The rosy light in the sky shone down on Daoist Jiang.

The divine light on Daoist Jiang became more and more dazzling, showing her merit, and five-colored auspicious clouds gathered under her feet, carrying her mortal body, gradually leaving the ground and flying toward the white clouds.

Not long after, she disappeared.

Lin Jue also rode the cloud and left.

And he thought of those immortals watching the battle again.

That was the immortal's days.

Before, although he became an immortal, what he lived was not the immortal's days, but secular fighting.

That was not an immortal either, just a secular person with high magical power and powerful spells.

He should naturally emulate those immortals.

If after becoming an immortal, one still cannot get carefree ease, still has to constantly get involved in interest disputes, constantly worry, not satisfied with this for a moment, not satisfied with that for a moment, constantly unable to do what one wants to do, constantly having to read about some forces and systems, then it would truly violate the original intention.

Of course, immortals might also have purposes.

Just like going to pick this year's spring flowers, just to brew wine, going to collect a basket of pine needles, just to boil tea.

Immortals naturally also have worries, just like worrying that this year's mountain flowers did not bloom well enough, the brewed wine is not mellow enough, this year's pine trees have pests, and the pine needles are not good for boiling tea.

This is a kind of elegant worry, a kind of leisurely sorrow.

At the very least, one should live some days.

In the Fengshan cave, fine wine and delicacies were set out.

Lin Jue, Third Shixiong Flower, Xiao Xiao Shimei, Xiao Xiao Shimei's disciple, and the fox Caili were sitting at the table, all eating and drinking happily.

This was Lin Jue's celebration.

This was the immortal's days.

"The Saint-Protecting Husheng Husheng Zhenjun is dead, I can be considered to have avenged Third Shixiong." Lin Jue raised his cup, "I toast Third Shixiong a cup."

"Oh my, oh my, what are you toasting me for? How can a dog drink so much wine?" Third Shixiong Flower was still in that flower robe, still that dog head, unable to see a blush, only the mouth was oily, and when speaking, he sprayed thick wine intent, obviously having drunk a lot, "Last cup! Last cup!"

"Did Third Third Shixiong send the Mountain-Moving Mirror back?" Xiao Xiao Shimei mainly drank wine, and her face was also a bit red.

"Of course I sent it back."

"Then what about Third Third Shixiong's palace pavilion?"

"Soon, soon."

"By the way! I heard that the Yue King's army has already fought to Shiding City, and the army of that Luo Gong in the north has also fought to Cao Hai Pass. Once the chaotic world comes, many people drill into the mountains to avoid disaster, and many people are not to avoid war, but to seek gods and immortals, and also walk into the deep mountains!" Third Shixiong Flower grabbed a large bone with one hand, and held a wine cup with the other, saying it was the last cup, but drank another, "In these few days, my temple and the little sister's Daoist temple are both very lively."

"Are there people walking deep into Fengshan?"

"Naturally there are!"

"Just right to see if there are any that suit my heart. I just want to take a few disciples to pass the time." Lin Jue laughed.

Several people continued to drink wine and eat meat.

Xiao Xiao Shimei's disciple, the fox, and Caili also held cups and drank happily, drinking the pine needle honey bubble water that Lin Jue taught Xiao Xiao Shimei to make when he was on the mountain. It was just that if she took honey now, she probably wouldn't be stung into a big bag again.

Several people were full of wine and food, and did not leave the table, but continued to chat leisurely, chatting for a whole half day.

When they finally dispersed, Xiao Xiao Shimei said to him:

"Third Third Shixiong, give me a few Chen Niu talismans."

"What for?"

"I want to take a gift to the Western Regions." Xiao Xiao Shimei said, "I heard that the thousand-year snow lotus on Tianshan blooms once every fifty years. I thought it's impossible that every time it blooms, the gods on the mountain use it all up. They must leave some, like collecting rice and wheat, and store them in the cellar. I plan to take a gift early and go over to see if I can beg for a little. Otherwise, fifty years is really too long, or if I drag it for a few more years, maybe even if they kept the thousand-year snow lotus, it would really be used up."

"Makes sense..."

Lin Jue, with a bit of wine intent, thought and said: "But the snow lotus will not bloom, I'm afraid it's not easy for you to see those gods."

"Isn't that just a wasted trip?" Xiao Xiao Shimei said, "Besides, it doesn't count, I can also see the scenery."

"Also good."

Lin Jue immediately took out paper and drew the talisman.

With a *dang* sound, he stamped the magic seal.

This was the Chen Niu talisman.

This was in Third Shixiong Flower's cave. After the two went out, they took Zhang Ziyun and walked slowly.

Stretching his neck to look—

Sure enough, as Third Shixiong Flower said, the chaotic world was coming, demons and ghosts were rampant, some people came to Fengshan to avoid disaster, some came to Fengshan to seek immortals, and small paths were also walked out in the deep mountains.

With Lin Jue's character, this place was in great chaos, demons and monsters were making trouble, he would definitely go to eliminate them, but if he did it all by himself, then this immortal, this god's life would be too busy, so he had to emulate Xiao Xiao Shimei, emulate Third Third Shixiong, emulate the successive masters of the Fuqiu Temple, take a few disciples, be leisurely himself, and let the disciples do it. ===== CHAPTER 481 =====
