Wind gusted, and clouds surged. The world was filled with changes.
The Daoxing Tianzun1 and Yinglong’s battle produced drastic changes in the Thunder Swamp. The arcs of thunder were scattered, and the two were locked fiercely in combat.
“Treasure Censure!!”
The Daoxing Tianzun activated a magic treasure. A square box covered Yinglong, and the center of that box had a hole. Treasure-light flashed, True Qi circulated, but Yinglong remained calm and composed. Her body techniques were swift and nimble, an indistinct mist. When the Treasure Censure covered her, she was already changing into vapor and dispersing.
Yinglong’s Mist Concealment Innate Skill allowed her to freely evade any attack. The woman unleashed her Divine Energy, and another mountain-toppling surge of ten thousand rays of white qi rushed forth like an ocean.
“Daoxing Sword!!”
The Daoxing Tianzun waved her hand, and a ray of clear qi shot out from her fingertip.
This clear qi flit across Heaven and Earth, piercing through the antiquity of Primordial World, unstoppable. Yinglong’s Divine Energy was cut down under the Daoxing Sword. That Daoxing Sword gently split into a force that spread in every direction, trapping Yinglong.
An ordinary Divine General perhaps would already have no place to flee, but Yinglong formed a hand seal. When the four Daoxing Swords slashed at her, her body was mist, rising into the sky like a divine dragon, fading like smoke.
The Daoxing Tianzun also became a ray of green light. This time, she pursued the mist.
“Destined Ancient Vastness!”
Yinglong used her Chaos Rank. Against a Divine General on the level of Daoxing Tianzun, only Divine Energy of Universe, Eternity, Primeval, or Chaos Rank could be used. It seemed like the Thunder Swamp seemed to return to ancient times. The thunderclaps filling the world scattered, and the wind howled and blew away the vicissitudes of time. A roar that came from ancient times rose around Yinglong, endlessly slamming into the Daoxing Tianzun.
The Daoxing Tianzun’s green light was like a sword, flashing by up and down through Ancient Vastness, spinning over and over, endlessly bombarding with ancient fury.
Everyone was already unable to track the two women’s figures. Only the sounds of collisions that were terrifying to the extreme informed them that the two were carrying on an apocalyptic battle.
The Huanglong Zhenren wandered about in midair, her Yellow Dragon Sword continuously entangling the group of three.
Qi Qi, Nüba and Xian Zhen were in perfect coordination. Everything seemed to have been planned in advance as they faced her attacks.
The group fought for awhile.
“Let’s go!!” Qi Qi suddenly shouted.
Xian Zhen and Nüba knew what to do. Nüba sat on the Dragon Throne and said, “Elder Sister, time to go.”
Yinglong heard and casually formed a hand seal. The wind and clouds changed, obstructing everyone’s vision.
“Where do you think you are going.”
How could the Daoxing Tianzun let them escape. A red fruit appeared above the Daoxing Tianzun’s head. This fruit pulsed and throbbed like a heart, emitting dizzying light. Each beat of the fruit-heart was like a resonance of the Great Dao, ear-splitting.
“Eternal Dao Fruit!!”
Yinglong’s pupils shrunk when she recognized this treasure. This Eternal Dao Fruit was a Later Heaven treasure, but it surpassed Earlier Heaven magic treasures. It was a treasure condensed from several tens of thousands of years of Daoist practice and from the three thousand Great Dao. Each Great Dao connected to Heaven, and when Daoist cultivation reached its peak, it would condense into a fruit.
This fruit contained a lifetime of the Daoxing Tianzun’s cultivation and Realm.
She was able to use the Dao Fruit to make people realize her supreme Great Dao Realm, and she could also use the Dao Fruit to destroy the enemies of the Great Dao.
The Daoxing Tianzun had overseen the Chan Sect in the Northern Continent for tens of thousands of years. Never had Yinglong thought that she would already have refined an Eternal Dao Fruit, but thinking about it, this was very normal. Since the Daoxing Tianzun had proof of her Daoist cultivation, obtaining the fruit was only natural.
When the Eternal Dao Fruit appeared, the Thunder Swamp immediately sank into this powerful Dao. Each pulse of the Dao Fruit carried supreme divine might, sweeping in all directions.
The Daoxing Tianzun raised it.
The Eternal Dao Fruit descended upon Yinglong.
Yinglong used all her Divine Energy, yet the boundless mist was unable to stop the Eternal Dao Fruit’s light. Under this magic treasure, even the weaknesses of the Great Dao under Heaven could hardly be concealed. Yinglong became a True Dragon and dove into the clouds.
The Thunder Swamp was covered by mist.
The Eternal Dao Fruit released a flame-like divine light, completely burning away the fog. Then, she heard a bang.
It echoed through Heaven and Earth, and the mist receded.
Yinglong was already gone without a trace.
“Elder Sister.” The Huanglong Zhenren rushed over and looked at this Eternal Dao Fruit with envy.
The Daoxing Tianzun hovered in the air, and the Eternal Dao Fruit descended back to its position above her. Under the Eternal Dao Fruit, nothing could hide. The Great Dao was inviolable, and under the effects of the Eternal Dao Fruit, the Daoxing Tianzun spotted the void space the group hid in.
“This Yinglong should be a Divine Name of the Immemorial Royal Family. It will be a bit difficult for This One’s Eternal Dao Fruit to kill her.” The Daoxing Tianzun showed a regretful expression. The Immemorial Royal Family did not cultivate the Great Dao; they cultivated immemorial primordial chaos. Although the Eternal Dao Fruit was powerful, it was difficult to punch through a Divine Name that did not have the Dao.
“However, she suffered This One’s attacks and will need to properly recover. This One believes she will not intrude into the Thunder Lake.” The Daoxing Tianzun then said: “As for that Sun Wukong, let her struggle first.”
“I feel Sun Wukong is a bit strange. They seem to have revealed themselves deliberately.” The Huanglong Zhenren voiced her suspicions. “That Divine Emissary man did not appear either.”
“Deliberately?” The Daoxing Tianzun was taken aback, “They were a diversion?”
But this was not right. The Daydream had yet to bloom, and picking it would have no use.
“Master Venerable!! This is bad!!”
Wei Hu flew over urgently.
“Not good.”
The Daoxing Tianzun calculated, and her expression was suddenly a bit unsightly.
Without even needing to hear Wei Hu’s report, the Daoxing Tianzun was instantly at the Sun And Moon Pavilion. She looked into the Thunder Lake and was suddenly grim beyond compare.
“Huh?”
The Huanglong Zhenren was alarmed.
In the vast and empty Thunder Lake, that beautiful Daydream in the center had been snapped off, leaving behind only half the stem. The perpetrator had showed no mercy for the flower at all and broke the Daydream’s stem.
“TO think he would actually be so stupid. The Daydream blooms once every thousand years, blossoming under the sun and moon. And he actually snapped it! He snapped it! Snapped it!!” The Daoxing Tianzun was truly furious enough to spout smoke from her seven apertures. She completely did not expect that someone would actually pluck it three days before it was to bloom. The Daydream’s most magical aspect was that when it bloomed, it would produce a moonlight fairyland. Picking it ordinarily would yield a relatively powerful spirit herb.
This was completely killing the chicken to get its eggs.
“It appears that Qi Lin would rather snap the Daydream to prevent Elder Sister from obtaining it. This man truly is vindictive.” The Huanglong Zhenren’s impression of Qi Lin turned extremely sour in an instant.
Without the Daydream, there was also no meaning to the Daoxing Tianzun standing guard over the Thunder Swamp.
“Issue the order. Hunt down Sun Wukong and her Divine Emissary. Even if they flee to the Northern Primordial, This One will make him pay the price!!”
The woman squeezed each word through tightly grit teeth.
Wei Hu was overjoyed. Seeing the Master Venerable so furious, she knew that Qi Lin was dead for sure.
“All of you are also trash. Two Divine Names and the Heaven And Earth Duel Number Star Array could not protect the Daydream.” The Daoxing Tianzun glowered.
Wei Hu and Xue Ehu promptly knelt and plead for forgiveness.
“That Qi Lin possesses the Blood Transformation Divine Blade, the disciples were honestly no match. He is apparently proficient in geomancy arts. He calculated the Heaven And Earth Duel Number Star Array perfectly, and it was truly unable to hinder him.” Wei Hu explained.
“You dare make excuses.” The Daoxing Tianzun wanted to slap this disciple dead.
The Huanglong Zhenren hastily stopped her: “Elder Sister, quell your anger. This Little Sister sees that Qi Lin, the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven, and Yinglong are all in collusion. This was planned in advance. He has the Blood Transformation Divine Blade, so it cannot be helped if Wei Hu and Xue Ehu were no match.”
“Blood Transformation Divine Blade.”
The Daoxing Tianzun breathed deeply, her chest heaving from her wrath.
“This One will make him know the consequences of offending Me.”
She coldly said.
Thunder Swamp, elsewhere.
Qi Lin looked a bit regretfully at this Daydream in his hand. After breaking off the Daydream, though the flower bud still contained the quintessence of light, it was slowly diminishing, slowly withering, like a listless young lady. He seized the chance before the Daydream completely withered and lost its luster to draw its Yin Qi and give it to Changxi to heal her wounds.
“What a pity, I really wanted to see the Daydream bloom.” Qi Lin had also wanted to see this Daydream blossom, to foresee Destiny, but in order to forge the Ninth Cauldron, he had no choice but to destroy the flower.
“Ai, what a waste.” Nezha propped up her chin with her hands, “Daydream, oh, Daydream, don’t blame us. If you want to blame someone, blame Qi Lin.”
“Of course, we must blame Qi Lin.”
Laughter came from void space. Nüba sat atop her Dragon Throne while Qi Qi and Xian Zhen appeared from the side.
Qi Qi hopped in front of Qi Lin and carefully scrutinized him. “Brother, are you alright.”
“I’m very good, but waht about you all?” Qi Lin asked. The Daoxing Tianzun was the master of the Heavenly Decree Palace. Since the Yuanzhi Tianzun was able to dispatch her, h feared she was very powerful. Seeing their haggard appearances was evidence enough of this.
“Young Lord’s plan has succeeded, but we have thoroughly offended the Heavenly Decree Palace.” Nüba pursed her lips.
“We have been offending them from the very beginning.” Qi Lin could not care less.
Nüba grunted. The Chan Sect and the Heavenly Decree Palace hunted the Immemorial Royal Family. Truthfully, Mother also quite loathed the Chan Sect; Nüba could not possibly have agreed to collaborate so readily with Qi Lin otherwise.
Speaking of collaboration, Qi Lin’s plan made her heart stop.
He surprisingly planned to have them go draw the Daoxing Tianzun’s attention, to lure the tiger down the mountain, while he then picked the Daydream alone.
The Daoxing Tianzun’s objective in guarding the Thunder Lake was to wait for the Daydream to bloom. To draw the Daoxing Tianzun away from here, he could only destroy the Daydream. Without the Daydream, the Sun And Moon Pavilion’s existence lost all significance, and the Daoxing Tianzun was naturally not so stupid as to stay in the Thunder Lake.
So for the sake of the Ninth Cauldron, even a mystical flower as rare as the Daydream needed to be destroyed.
“How shall we proceed for the next step?” Nüba then asked. “The Daoxing Tianzun is certain to be enraged. SHe will spare no effort to hunt us, so this place is not safe anymore either.”
“The next step will be the same. Qi Qi and the rest of you will lure the Daoxing Tianzun away. On the day the sun and moon rise together, I will head to the Thunder Lake alone to forge the Ninth Cauldron.” Qi Lin had already figured this out.
Enraging the Daoxing Tianzun was necessary; then they were to seize the time while she was furious to shift her attention.
White qi descended from the sky, and Yinglong appeared with a grunt.
“Elder Sister Yinglong.”
The woman was very haggard, her expression pale and her lips red. She was wounded.
“Flee, Your Highness, you must flee for the Northern Primordial as soon as possible.”
Yinglong sternly said.
The group was taken aback by her tone.
“The Daoxing Tianzun has already condensed the Eternal Dao Fruit. The only one in the Northern Continent that can face her is Her Majesty.”
“What, Eternal Dao Fruit?” The girl’s expression changed.
“The Eternal Dao Fruit is comparable to an Earlier Heaven magic treasure. Obtaining the fruit would grant limitless Divine Energy. Qi Lin, if you do not leave the Northern Primordial, you face inescapable calamity.” Yinglong’s slender eyes were filled with apathy and grimness.
QI Lin nodded, “I will consider it, but presently, I will forge the Ninth Cauldron to control the floods. I can’t let everything you’ve done go to waste.”
“You, truly have no sense of reverence.”
Yinglong was taken aback, then she heaved a long sigh.

- It’s come to my attention that her title may actually be Daoheng Tianzun. For now, I’m continuing with Daoxing ↩
…. These Chan Sect assholes sure got some big egos…
Worst part is, the Heavenly Decree Palace is merely a subordinate organization. If an offshoot is this arrogant, how bad do you think the main branch is?
