Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 565 The dragon and the tiger are even more powerful
  After the Flower Witch left, Fang Dushu took out the remaining roots of the jade oak tree.

This stump was found under Tianchi when Fang Dushu first entered Jianhua Cave.

Because the stumps were bombarded by lightning, they had already withered completely. When Fang Dushu settled in Ba Mie Quan for retreat, he used Kaiyuan Bottled Dew to water it regularly. As a result, after two months, the stumps remained unchanged.

It has been ineffective for such a long time, and there is little hope of saving the remaining roots.

If the residual roots cannot regenerate, they will not be able to give birth to new jade elephants. The baby elephant at Fang Dushu's feet will become unique. He must carefully cultivate and raise it, because the elephant corpses that have lasted for thousands of years will eventually be exhausted. Only the baby elephant can survive. You can provide him with a steady stream of spiritual glue.

Comparatively speaking, the importance of a baby elephant is greater than that of a ten-thousand-year-old elephant corpse.

Even though Fang Dushu was reluctant to waste ten thousand years of glue blood, after careful consideration, he still collected several bottles to assist the little elephant in his cultivation.

"When you refine these bottles of glue blood, if you still can't successfully conceive a baby, then just let it go. Then I will put you in the Tianchi and do whatever you want!"

Originally, Fang Dushu didn't have much hope, after all, he provided less glue and blood.

Unexpectedly, half a month later, on the day of the Vientiane Dharma Conference, comrades from the Four Kingdoms of Jianhua came to attend the conference. They had just flown across the river, but before they reached the Vientiane Divine Peak, they suddenly saw strong winds in the clear sky.

When the cultivators all looked up at the sky, they discovered that a thundercloud storm was already hovering over the divine peak.

"This is the Nascent Soul celestial phenomenon!"

"It's just a coincidence that we are here, and we are lucky enough to witness the birth of the new elephant master of the three sects of Vientiane!"

"Xuanjin Elephant Master, Teng Elephant Master, which disciple of your sect is the one who rushes through the pass to form a baby?"

At this Wanxiang Dharma Assembly, Master Xuan Jinxiang and Teng Jin were responsible for welcoming the distinguished guests. When they heard the questions, they both looked confused. They did not receive any news about the clearance.

When the two led the Jianhua Four Kingdoms monks to climb the Vientiane Divine Peak and found Xiaopeng Nu to inquire about the situation, they found out the whole story:

"It's the little jade elephant under my father's command. It has been following my father for decades without any demonic power. Today, it suddenly went crazy and triggered the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation. My father had to protect the law in the cave and couldn't do it. Come out and host the Dharma ceremony.”

"It's important to protect the Dharma! The Dharma conference can be postponed!"

The Jianhua Four Kingdoms monks did not have any dissatisfaction. Instead, they all expressed their willingness to wait for the thunder tribulation to end before entering the venue again.

This Dharma conference is called "Wanxiang", and the focus is on the Jade Glue Elephant. Fang Dushu has already promised that when the Dharma Conference is held, he will trade the thousand-year spiritual glue to his colleagues from the Four Kingdoms of Jianhua.

Where does spiritual glue come from? It must have been extracted from the Jade Glue Elephant. The value of the Nascent Soul stage glue blood is definitely much more precious than the Golden Elixir stage glue blood.

Therefore, let alone waiting for a Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, even if they wait for three to five months, the monks from the Four Kingdoms of Jianhua will not object.

When they saw the Nascent Soul celestial phenomenon earlier, everyone thought it was the disciples of the three Wanxiang sects who were trying to pass the test. At that time, they didn’t have many wishes. Instead, they had the mentality of waiting to see a joke of failure.

But at this moment, everyone is eager for the Jade Gum Elephant to advance immediately.

The final result lived up to everyone’s prayers.

When the thunder tribulation came to an end, the Jade Glue Elephant successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. Its elephant body was gifted and could withstand the thunder tribulation. Even if the skin was ripped open, it could heal immediately as before. Its process of breaking through the barrier was faster than that of human cultivation. Seems easier.

After this episode, the Vientiane Dharma Conference was held, and it was already dark.

The heads of the four kingdoms of Wugu, Yingshan, Baicao and Taoyuan all arrived and were introduced to Fang Dushu through Yingrui Hua Shi and Yu Qiweng.

Fang Dushu invited them into the secret room to discuss the war against the Three Kingdoms in Huajian alone.

After a night of discussions, the three factions of Vientiane and the four kingdoms of Jianhua agreed on an alliance. Although this was the first meeting between Fang Dushu and the four kingdom leaders, it did not affect the mutual trust between the two parties.

This is due to the fact that in the past two decades, the three Vientiane sects have opened their doors to recruit disciples specifically from the Four Kingdoms of Jianhua. Currently, nearly half of the disciples of the three sects are from the Four Kingdoms.

The two parties have very close contacts, and there is no conflict of interest. The three Wanxiang sects are based on sects and have no requirements for territory. What is important is the orthodoxy. The Four Kingdoms of Jianhua are the kings of the Immortal Dynasty and have no requirements for the orthodoxy. What is important is the territory.

If the Three Kingdoms of Huajian can be conquered this time, the three factions of Wanxiang can get rid of their close enemies, and the Four Kingdoms of Jianhua can annex the territory of Huajian, both sides will get what they need, and everyone will be happy.

Originally, Taoyuan Kingdom pursued a neutral national policy and was unwilling to intervene in the war. However, the Three Kingdoms of Huajian suffered heavy losses when they attacked the Vientiane Divine Peak. King Molan and King Bamboo both killed Qinghe, and Queen Blood Plum escaped back to the main altar with serious injuries. Xiaopeng Nu drove Pengcheng Ancient Formation pursued and destroyed the Xiongguan Formation in the Three Kingdoms of Huajian.

Now that there is no danger for the Three Kingdoms in Huajian to defend, they are worried about being robbed. They have been working hard in the past half month, using all the monks from the Three Kingdoms to build defenses and investing heavy troops at the border of Taoyuan.

A new war is about to break out.

The leader of Taoyuan Kingdom has long been introduced to the situation in the world of Jianhua Immortal Cultivator by Yu Qiweng. The three kingdoms of Wugu, Yingshan, and Baicao have decided to take advantage of the weakness of the Huajian monks to eradicate the forces of Huajian in one fell swoop.

Because the Huajian monks went to attack the Wanxiang three sects out of ignorance, once the Jianhua war breaks out in the future, the Wanxiang three sects will definitely form an alliance with the three kingdoms of Wugu, Yingshan, and Baicao. By then, the Huajian forces will most likely be completely destroyed.

If Taoyuan Kingdom refuses to form an alliance, then when the power of Huajian is destroyed, Taoyuan Kingdom will also fall into doom, because when the three countries of Wugu, Yingshan, and Baicao finish carving up the territory of Huajian, they will not mind including Taoyuan Kingdom in their territory.

If the Taoyuan Kingdom agrees to form an alliance and join forces to destroy the Huajian forces, then after the war, the Taoyuan Kingdom can prevent the annexation of the Wugu, Yingshan, and Baicao Kingdoms by paying tribute to the three factions of Wanxiang. At that time, the Taoyuan Kingdom can still enjoy the benefits of both sides and continue to follow the Neutral identity.

In times of great chaos, you cannot have an ostrich mentality.

In this Flower Appreciation War, no matter how much Taoyuan Kingdom monks dislike fighting, they must still participate.

After the Wanxiang Dharma Conference was over and the leaders of the four kingdoms of Wugu, Yingshan, Baicao, and Taoyuan returned to their respective royal cities, the war officially broke out.

Since the pass in Huajian was destroyed by Xiaopeng Nu, the Four Kingdoms did not intend to give the monks in Huajian a chance to repair it, so they wanted to fight quickly.

However, Huajian's territory was vast and there were many soldiers and horses, so the war eventually turned into a tug-of-war. The two sides fought intermittently, and it lasted for ten years before it finally came to an end.

During the battle between the two sides, Fang Dushu also agreed to the Baihua Witch's petition and sent her to Taoyuan Kingdom to hunt down the Wolfsbane monks.

This hunting operation lasted even longer and was not over for ten years. Originally, Fang Dushu planned to send additional reinforcements to assist the Hundred Flowers Witch.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, the dragon and tiger beast's mana has been vigorously improving, reaching the completion of the Nascent Soul stage, and has reached the threshold of breaking through the Divine Transformation stage.

Fang Dushu was very happy to learn about the dragon-tiger beast's cultivation status. He immediately announced his retreat and began to prepare for the dragon-tiger beast's attack on the god.

As for the Baihua Witch's reinforcements, Fang Dushu had also forgotten about it. As long as the dragon and tiger beasts could advance, it would be easy to eliminate the Wolf Poison cultivators.

In order to prevent accidents during the advancement of the dragon and tiger beast, Fang Dushu ordered all disciples of the three Wanxiang sects to participate in the protection of the law.

In this way, Fang Dushu accompanied Longhu Beast to start retreat.

This period lasts another ten years. Initially, the three Wanxiang sects were ready, and their disciples joined forces to block the Qinghe River and deployed layers of defensive restrictions around the Wanxiang Divine Peak.

Everyone thought that the breakthrough of the dragon and tiger beast would be achieved in three to five months, and that at the latest three to five years, the birth of the only god-transformation monk in the world of Jianhua Immortal Cultivation would be witnessed.

As a result, everyone waited and waited, but there was still no movement of the dragon, tiger and beast.

As time goes by, everyone will inevitably wonder, does the Dragon Tiger Beast have the ability to advance?
  Everyone was really eager to wait, looking anxiously towards the retreat of Fang Dushu and Longhu Beast every day, hoping that the celestial phenomenon would break out as soon as possible.

Until this early morning, the celestial phenomenon finally appeared amidst all the expectations.

The originally dim morning light suddenly burst into brilliance.

It was as if there were countless blazing suns hanging high in the sky out of thin air. The firelight reflected each other and illuminated the sky brightly.

After a while, the fierce fire began to burn violently, and the fire overflowed fiercely, radiating the sky within a hundred miles.

At this time, the top of the Vientiane Divine Peak looked like a lake of fire hanging high, or like a huge fire cover, shrouding the top of the mountain, exuding a soul-stirring ferocious power.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

Immediately afterwards, several fireballs jumped out from the fire lake, like falling meteors, and all of them hit the Pengcheng Wind Formation on the top of the mountain. When the fireballs approached the edge of the wind formation, they penetrated directly into the formation, and they did not know where they landed in the formation.

Fang Dushu and the Dragon Tiger Beast all retreated in the Pengcheng Formation. Since the formation was tightly sealed, the environment inside the formation was completely obscured.

Some of the disciples led by Xiang Master Xiaopeng Nu, Xue Swan, Xuan Jin, and Teng Jin are also stationed in the formation, ready to listen to Fang Dushu's orders at any time.

Fang Emei, Wen Bangyuan, and Tianjiu Xiangshi were stationed outside the formation, responsible for presiding over the large and small forbidden formations of the main altar, and each forbidden formation was guarded by a different number of disciples from the three sects.

The remaining two elephant masters, Xiong Gang and Wudu, are stationed in Taoyuan Kingdom to assist the Witch of Flowers in eradicating the Wolf Poison monks. They have not returned to the main altar for twenty years.

At present, all the resident monks of the three Vientiane sects have gathered near the Vientiane Divine Peak. After the high-altitude fire celestial phenomenon broke out, they seemed to be in a state of excitement, but they were also puzzled. Why is the celestial phenomenon of advanced gods so strange?
  Even Fang Emei and Wen Bangyuan were confused.

They asked Master Tianjiu: "Senior Brother Tianjiu, is the transformation of the gods into a celestial image just a ball of spiritual fire?"

The Celestial Dove Elephant Master smiled and said: "The advancement of the true spirit is somewhat different from that of human cultivation. This group of spiritual fire should be specially used to burn the calamity of the body of the true spirit. They do not need to resist the calamity thunder like us human cultivators. Therefore, the Celestial Elephant After I came out, I couldn’t see any spiritual energy whirlpools or thunderstorms.”

The celestial dove elephant master is completely half-guessed.

He was a casual cultivator when he was in Qinghe Divine Continent. Although he was lucky enough to obtain the mantles of the Wild Lion Butcher and the Iron Warrior, he didn't know much about the true spiritual celestial phenomena.

In fact, not only him, but even the disciples of the Three Mountains and Five Mountains have never experienced the process of a true spirit advancing to become a god, because it is too rare.

It is relatively common for true spirits to be promoted to the realm of Yuanying, but it is definitely rare to be promoted to the stage of divine transformation.

If the dragon and tiger beast can advance successfully this time, it will not only be the first of its kind in the world of flower appreciating and cultivating immortals, but also a unique Taoist event in the Qinghe Divine Continent in a thousand years.

Inside the Pengcheng Formation at this moment.

I saw a Yuanbao Mountain stretching for several miles, lying in the center of the formation.

The dragon and tiger beast sat cross-legged alone on the top of the mountain, fighting fiercely against the catastrophe of fire. The high-altitude fire lake frequently dropped fireballs, penetrating the formation, and all of them hit the dragon and tiger beast, turning into a ring of fire and wrapping the beast's body.

The dragon-tiger beast has turned into a fire beast. It resists the fire attack tenaciously, but with the rapid consumption of mana, it gradually shows signs of failure. The originally ferocious roar of the dragon slowly becomes sluggish.

At the foot of Yuanbao Mountain, Fang Dushu looked up at the top of the mountain with worry. He made a lot of preparations for the dragon and tiger beast before crossing the barrier. However, the calamity was unpredictable. Whether the dragon and tiger beast could survive this wave of fire, Fang Dushu was not sure. There is no bottom.

He heard the wailing sound of the dragon and tiger beast in his ears, and couldn't help but think, what if the dragon and tiger beast couldn't hold on and was eventually burned to death in the fire...

He immediately dispelled this negative thought, thinking that since the birth of the dragon and tiger beast, it has never been defeated in many battles. Once it encounters an opponent, it will move forward without hesitation. It can kill someone every time and it will definitely not lose this time.

Although the dragon-tiger beast was a true spirit hatched by Fang Dushu, Fang Dushu could not replace the dragon-tiger beast in overcoming the tribulation, so he could only encourage him secretly.

Xuanjin Elephant Master, Xiaopeng Nu, Teng Jin, and Blood Swan stood side by side behind Fang Dushu, looking at the dragon and tiger beast with all their attention, and each of them was sweating.

Next to the Blood Swan lay Fang Dushu's new mount, the Jade Elephant. It stared at the Dragon Tiger Beast with its eyes wide open, but it was not worried. During Fang Dushu's retreat in Ba Mie Quan, it was bullied by the Dragon Tiger Beast every day. He is the only monk among the three sects of Wanxiang who does not want the dragon and tiger beast to advance.

After observing like this for half a day, the fireballs outside the formation suddenly stopped falling.

The ring of fire that enveloped the dragon and tiger beast was also extinguished.

However, after being roasted for such a long time, the dragon and tiger beast was already completely charred, with its head drooped and its eyes tightly closed, like a stone statue sitting cross-legged on the ground, completely unaware of life and death.

At this moment, hundreds of disciples of the three sects gathered at the foot of Yuanbao Mountain. They all held their breaths, fearing that the dragon and tiger beasts were already dead.

Just when everyone was worried, a layer of vitality cloud suddenly appeared on Yuanbao Mountain and rushed towards the dragon and tiger beast crazily. When the vitality approached the dragon and tiger beast, it circled in the sky again, growing bigger and bigger like a tornado.

The dragon and tiger beast was in the eye of the wind, and suddenly opened its mouth and let out an earth-shattering dragon roar.

This roar resounded through Pengcheng Formation, and the sound waves rushed out like a tide, suddenly covering the disciples of the three sects present, plop! With a sound, they all fell backwards, and the fierce pressure hit their faces. Everyone suddenly felt dizzy, and their whole bodies were trembling out of control.

Only Fang Dushu and the other elephant masters were still standing, but the roar of the dragon filled their ears, as if they had experienced a stormy sea, making them dizzy.

This is the spiritual pressure that can only be released by monks in the transformation stage.

Even though Fang Dushu and others were depressed, their hearts were extremely happy.

After the dragon's roar subsided, they hurriedly raised their heads and looked into the distance, only to see a huge vitality dharma image condensing and forming over Yuanbao Mountain.

This dharma image passed through the ancient formation of Pengcheng and floated in the sky. The size of the dharma image was at least a thousand feet high. It was in a human standing posture, with a dragon head and a tiger body, and its appearance was almost exactly the same as that of a dragon and tiger beast.

The only difference is that on the back, Yuan Qi Dharma Prime has a pair of giant wings with sparkling lightning, which erupts with thunderous sounds like thunderbolts.

“The dragon and the tiger are even more powerful!”

When Xiaopeng Nu saw the wings of Dharma, she sighed and said with a hearty smile: "Father, the dragon and tiger have wings, and I guess they can carry the dog and fly around in the future!"

Fang Dushu also didn't hide his smile. His eyes were fixed between the feet of Yuan Qi Dharma. The dragon and tiger beast was still sitting cross-legged with its eyes closed, but a pair of dark green thunder wings slowly unfolded behind the beast's body.

It is obvious that after the Dragon Tiger Beast advanced to become a god, its body underwent a transformation.
