Gaze and you will become stronger: starting from Doupo

"Where is Bai Luo? He came here to deliver the letter a long time ago, why didn't he go back?" The ancient creature, like a phoenix, spoke with a cold voice and overwhelming power. His eyes flashed with anger, as if questioning the whole world.

Hearing this, Jiang Taixu, Fairy Caiyun, Saint Yaoguang and the others all looked a little unhappy. They knew that this seemingly more powerful ancient royal family came for the guy from before. They were filled with worry and didn't know how to deal with this sudden crisis.

"Dead." At this moment, an extremely calm voice floated in the air. Although the voice was calm, it seemed to contain endless power, shocking everyone.

"What!" Suddenly, a cold voice filled with murderous intent rang out. After hearing this answer, the ancient creature that looked like a divine phoenix suddenly jumped up like thunder, and the anger in its eyes seemed to burn the whole world.

The next moment, the phoenix-like ancient creature shot two red beams of light from its eyes towards Jiang Han who had just opened his mouth. Wherever the red beams passed, the void collapsed, holding up a long rainbow of runes. The beams carried a breath of destruction, as if they were going to turn Jiang Han into ashes in an instant.

Boom! Jiang Han made his move, and the world was instantly filled with deafening thunder. The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and thousands of snake-shaped lightning bolts with a world-destroying aura fell from the sky, like a group of angry dragons, landing around the ancient copper ship. The lightning shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire sky and covering the entire ancient copper ship, as if it had instantly cut off the ancient bronze ship from the outside world, and the strange aura coming from the ancient ship was instantly blocked.

Jiang Han moved, and his speed was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning. He first shattered the two red rays of light shot by the ancient creature with his fingertips, his movements were graceful and calm, as if he was performing an art performance. Then he took a step forward and appeared directly on the ancient copper ship. His eyes were firm and confident, as if the whole world was under his control.

"Human, you..." Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared beside him, the pupils of the ancient creature like a divine phoenix suddenly shrank. Its eyes were full of shock and fear. It had never thought that a human could have such a powerful strength.

Jiang Han just smiled at the ancient creature, that smile was mysterious and unpredictable. Then he stretched out his right palm and gently slapped the deck. This seemingly random slap seemed to contain endless power. The entire ancient copper ship trembled violently under this slap, as if it was about to disintegrate...

The Big Dipper Star Region, known as the "Purple Wei Yuan" in ancient times, is the center of the Heavenly Dao. At this moment, the skylines of the seven forbidden areas of life simultaneously cracked into spider-web-like black cracks, like the space-time afterbirth torn by an ancient giant hand. In addition to the ancient and silent forbidden area, the other six forbidden areas - the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Netherworld Ghost Realm, the Ten Thousand Corpse Demon Cave, the Chaos Thunder Lake, the Nine Nether Hell, and the Ancient Fierce Domain - all burst out with a breath of destruction.

The blood waves of the Netherworld Blood Sea suddenly rose thousands of feet high, and blood-colored ice crystals smashed towards the neighboring Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom like a meteorite rain. Every ice crystal reflected the twisted faces of countless resentful souls; the water of the Yellow Spring River in the Netherworld Ghost World poured out backwards, carrying with it a bronze coffin engraved with ancient runes, and the Taotie emblem on the coffin actually oozed black blood; the mountain of corpses in the Ten Thousand Corpses Demon Cave suddenly squirmed collectively, and millions of skeletons opened their dark green eye sockets at the same time, making a harsh "cluck" sound from their throats.

The Chaos Thunder Lake in the North Plains was the most terrifying. Nine purple thunderbolts as thick as buckets pierced through the sky and earth, outlining the outline of a huge skull in the clouds. The barbarian tribes living on the edge of the Thunder Lake saw with their own eyes the statues of the guardian beasts on their totem poles explode one after another, and dark golden blood oozed out of the rubble - that was a sign that only appeared when the ancient gods and demons fell.

"Awoo--" Deep in the Nanling Mountains, the ancient Qiongqi, which had been sleeping for a thousand years, suddenly let out a long and mournful cry. This beast, whose body was burning with wicked fire, was now curled up in the valley like a cub, with its huge claws tightly covering its ears. Countless ancient array patterns emerged from the rock formations under its feet. They were the seals left by the ancient emperor when he suppressed it, and now it was emitting an overwhelmed humming sound.

The entire Big Dipper void was shaking, as if the membrane of heaven and earth was about to burst. The mountain protection formations of the major secret places were automatically activated, the Dinghai Shenzhen in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea emitted a thousand-foot-long green light, and the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain suspended the thirty-six-layer Xiantian Bagua diagram. Even the overseas scattered cultivator alliance, which had always been reclusive, immediately sacrificed seventy-two gathering spirit towers.

Donghuang Divine City, this huge city of cultivation consisting of nine suspended islands, is now shrouded in dark clouds. At the top of Chaotian Pavilion in the city center, a man in a green robe stands with his hands behind his back. His robe moves without wind, and the trajectory of the stars can be vaguely seen at the cuffs. Under his feet is a ninth-grade lotus pedestal condensed by thunder, and each petal is flowing with the purple air of chaos.

"Judge of Yin and Yang, do you really want to get involved in this?" The man spoke, his voice like a bell, shaking the moat below the city of gods to raise three feet of waves. His name is Jiang Han, and he calls himself "Ancestor Hongjun". Although his face is as young as a jade, his eyes are filled with the vicissitudes of life.

The void on the opposite side suddenly split open, and an old man wearing a black hat and a scarlet official uniform stepped out. In his hand was a two-foot-long judge's pen, and the tip of the pen dripped not ink but bright red blood, and every drop of blood that fell to the ground turned into a hideous ghost face. Behind the old man, a thousand-foot-tall golden virtual image slowly emerged, with the upper body of a majestic celestial official, and the lower body of an evil ghost wrapped in chains - it was the supreme being of the underworld ghost world, the "Yin Yang Judge".

“Hongjun, do you know what you are doing?” The judge’s voice sounded like it came from the Netherworld, with a bone-chilling chill. “You are tampering with the Book of Life and Death and forcibly seizing the reincarnated people. This is an act against heaven. Don’t say that you are only a half-step immortal emperor. Even if you really become an immortal emperor, you will be retaliated by heaven!”

A blinding lightning suddenly erupted behind Jiang Han, and five ancient visions appeared at the same time: on the left, the Immortal King was driving the Nine Dragons to pull the coffin to the Ninth Heaven, on the right, the Chaos Green Lotus slowly blossomed in the void; above, the stars were arranged into the innate Bagua diagram, and below, thousands of miles of beautiful rivers and mountains emerged, and each mountain peak was engraved with ancient Taoist patterns. The most amazing thing was the "Yin Yang Life and Death Diagram" in the center, where the black and white Yin Yang fish actually reflected the past and present lives of countless creatures.

In the square of the city, thousands of monks looked up, all of them changed color in shock. One of the white-haired old monks pointed to the sky with trembling hands: "Is that the Immortal King coming to the Ninth Heaven? It is said that only a great saint can bring about such a strange phenomenon! And the Chaos Blue Lotus, isn't this the remnant of the Creation Blue Lotus?"

"Look at the thunder!" the young disciple next to him exclaimed. All the strange phenomena were condensed by thunder. Those purple lightning bolts as thick as arms intertwined in the air to form the word "Tao" pattern. Each pattern contained the power of the law that could destroy the heavens and the earth.

The Yin-Yang Judge's eyes wavered for the first time, and the bloody ghost face on the Judge's pen began to twist and dissipate. He was silent for a moment, and suddenly turned his head to look at the Dragon Pond in the northeast of the Divine City - there lay a crystal-like female corpse, the core of this dispute: Fairy Caiyun.

A faint fluorescence lingered around the body of Fairy Caiyun. It was the "seed of life" that Jiang Han had planted with the power of thunder. Her sleeves were still stained with blood from four thousand years ago, and there was a tiny crack between her eyebrows, which was the scar from being burned by the true fire of the sun when she tried to save Jiang Taixu. "Hongjun, you and I have known each other for thousands of years. Why do you have to be an enemy of the underworld for a mortal?" The judge's voice was rarely filled with a sigh. "Her life span has ended, and her soul has returned to the underworld. This is the law of reincarnation. If you force her to stay, you will only sow the seeds of cause and effect, and there will be disasters in the future."

Jiang Han's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the thunder vision instantly expanded several times, causing the suspended island of the God City to tilt three feet. "Why should others interfere with my actions? Today we will see, is your Book of Life and Death stronger, or is my thunder more powerful!"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and swung out a purple-gold sword energy. Wherever the sword energy passed, the space was torn like a rag, revealing the chaotic airflow behind it. The judge hurriedly waved the judge's pen and drew three black talismans in front of him, but the sword energy easily penetrated the talismans and cut a deep scar on his chest that could be seen to the bone - that was the Yin God body that even the Saint King could not hurt!

"You have touched the laws of the Immortal Emperor?" The judge stepped back in shock, fear in his eyes for the first time. He turned back to look at the Dragon Pond, and saw the soul of Fairy Caiyun slowly floating out of the Book of Life and Death, as if being led by an invisible hand to fly towards the corpse. In the Book of Life and Death, a golden halo appeared around her name, which was a phenomenon that only appeared for the "fate changer" recognized by the Heavenly Dao.

“Forget it.” The judge finally shook his head, and the yin and yang virtual images behind him gradually dissipated. “This woman has a strange fate, and perhaps there is a glimmer of hope. But Hongjun, you must remember——” He suddenly raised his hand, and the judge’s pen wrote a huge “debt” in the air. “Today’s cause will have tomorrow’s result. The underworld of the underworld will demand repayment from you one day!”

As the words "return home" fell, the judge's figure sank into the abyss below, and countless ghost soldiers and generals disappeared. The moment the abyss healed, the dark clouds in the sky retreated like a tide, and the thunder vision turned into dots of fluorescence and dissipated in the wind, as if the shocking battle just now was just an illusion.

When the city of gods returned to peace, the sun was shining through the clouds onto the Hualong Pond. Fairy Caiyun's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. There was still a faint blue of the ghost fire in her pupils, but when she saw the person in front of her, it suddenly lit up - it was a young and handsome face, but with eyes that she was very familiar with.

"Brother Taixu," her voice was as light as a feather, she raised her hand and stroked the other's face, "Your gray hair and wrinkles..."

Jiang Taixu's eyes were red, but he smiled and held her hand. A brilliant golden light shone all over his body, and his skin became smooth and tight at a speed visible to the naked eye. His gray hair turned black, and his wrinkles gradually disappeared. A moment later, the young man in white standing in front of the Jingyang Palace four thousand years ago was standing in front of her, with tenderness in his eyes: "I said that I would live with you for four thousand years. Now that my great revenge has been taken, I must fulfill my promise."

Fairy Caiyun burst into tears suddenly, and her fingertips scratched a scar behind his ear - that was the mark of being scratched by the Sun King when he saved her. For four thousand years, she was trapped in the golden cage of the holy land, and he was sealed under the Purple Mountain. When they met again, everything had changed.

"If I had followed you back then..." She choked, but Jiang Taixu gently pressed her lips.

"No need to talk about the past." He took her hand and walked towards Jiang Han who was standing quietly. "From today on, you and I will be the freest people in the world." After that, they both knelt on the ground with their foreheads touching the ground. "Thank you for your kindness, Old Ancestor. I will never be able to repay you even if my body is torn to pieces!"

Jiang Han waved his hand to signal the two to stand up, and looked at the distant city of gods that was bustling again. The battle just now had already spread throughout Beidou. At this moment, there were lights flying across the sky, all of them were powerful people from all sides who came to investigate the truth. A jade slip flew out of his sleeve, which contained the secret method of curing Jiang Taixu and the complete soul seal of Fairy Caiyun, and gently fell into Jiang Taixu's hands.

"Karma has its own destiny, I am just going with the flow." He said calmly, his robes rustling in the wind, "Go, while you are still young, go see all the mountains and rivers of Beidou. Don't wait until the years are too late, leaving behind long regrets."

Three days later, the largest intelligence organization in the Big Dipper Star Region, the "Heavenly Secret Pavilion", released the latest jade slip. The jade slip detailed the beginning and end of the battle of the City of Gods, and at the end was a shocking video: Jiang Han stepped on thunder, surrounded by five strange phenomena behind him, and forced the Yin-Yang Judge to retreat with a wave of his hand.

"Oh my god, is this true?" In the meeting hall of the Northern Plains Barbarians, the chieftain's hand holding the jade slip trembled constantly. "Who is this ancestor Hongjun who can make the judge of the underworld take action personally?"

"Look here." A casual cultivator from Zhongzhou pointed to the annotations in the corner of the jade slip, "According to the Tianji Pavilion's research, Patriarch Hongjun once participated in the war of 'Ten Thousand Races Attacking Heaven' in the ancient times, and later suppressed three quasi-immortal emperors during the dark turmoil. Some say he is the guardian of the way of heaven, while others say he is the reincarnation of an ancient immortal emperor."

In the Great Hall of the Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom, eighteen Arhats sat together, with blood-colored ice crystals collected from the Netherworld Blood Sea in front of them. The leading Arhat, the Dragon-Subduing Arhat, frowned and said, "This kind of demonic energy actually contains the laws of heaven, which is slightly in conflict with the 'Great Freedom Karma Sutra' that I am practicing. It seems that the realm of this ancestor Hongjun has surpassed the cognition of ordinary cultivators."

The most lively place was the "Xianyuan Teahouse" in the East Desert. At this moment, the second floor of the teahouse was packed with people. The storyteller was knocking on the gavel, spitting and telling the story: "Do you know why the thunder vision of the ancestor Hongjun is so terrifying? It is said that each thunder was transformed when he killed the Chaos Demon God, and it contains three thousand great laws! Take the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram for example. It is said that it can see through the cause and effect of a person's previous three lives. Even the King of Hell would give way to it——"

"Tsk, I think you're just bragging." In the corner, a young man in a tattered Taoist robe curled his lips, "My master said that the true vision of the Immortal Emperor should be... Um, why are you looking at me like that?" (End of this chapter)
