Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 654 One palm strike defeats the golden toad, the golden lotus succeeds.

goo goo...

The golden toad released its enormous golden body, its body shimmering with golden light. Its massive body inhaled deeply, causing the sand and gravel on the surrounding land to loosen and tremble and tumble.

Looking at all this, Chen Jie landed, his gaze unusually calm.

At this moment, the golden toad looked at Chen Jie with its golden eyes, devoid of any emotion, its gaze filled with indifferent coldness, as if it had already regarded Chen Jie as a dish.

Looking at the golden toad's appearance, Chen Jie reached out and summoned the three divine statues of the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Technique: the Spring God riding backwards on a green ox, holding a willow whip; the Summer God, wielding snakes with both hands, with flames rising; and the Winter God, with snowflakes fluttering down, resembling a fairy.

The golden toad stared at Chen Jie with murderous intent and rage, as if it wanted to swallow Chen Jie whole.

Chen Jie smiled as he looked at the golden toad, his gaze calm, as if the toad in front of him was nothing more than an insignificant creature.

After a short while, the golden toad suddenly moved, opening its mouth wide to unleash its long-awaited ultimate attack: [Tongue Strike!]

With a roar, the golden toad's tongue suddenly spun around and attacked, its terrifying spinning ability seemingly intent on killing Chen Jie instantly. This was the golden toad's ultimate move, a sure-kill technique for toads, and it was meant to deliver the final blow to Chen Jie.

Seeing the golden toad's attack, Chen Jie didn't hesitate at all. At this point, the true intentions were revealed, and there was no time to think about anything else. Chen Jie suddenly raised his hands and shouted, "Three Gods United!"

The god of winter merges with the god of spring, winter departs and spring arrives, and all things revive!
The power of the Winter God Xuanming was instantly poured into the Spring God, who then suddenly grew taller, reaching the sky and the earth. In an instant, spring colors filled the sky, and life was full of vitality.

But that wasn't the end of it. Chen Jie continued to activate the incantation: "Spring God merges with Summer God."

When the god of spring merges with the god of summer, at the turn of spring and summer, flames rise and the bright sun hangs high in the nine heavens—this is the way of heaven!

In an instant, the God of Spring merged directly into the God of Summer, who was also the God of Fire, Zhu Rong. The wood energy brought by the God of Spring instantly ignited the flames on the God of Fire, Zhu Rong, causing him to rise instantly.

Its body suddenly grew larger, with long snakes hanging from its hands, making it look extremely imposing.

At this moment, Chen Jie continued to activate Hu Santai's magic power, and the purest foxfire was activated in the next moment.

call!
The essence of fire power was transferred to Zhu Rong, and Zhu Rong's fire attribute power expanded even more. The main reason why Chen Jie chose Zhu Rong to fight was that Hu Santai's attribute energy belonged to the fire attribute.

Only by using fire to fuel fire can Zhurong unleash its full power.

At this moment, Zhu Rong was absorbing the foxfire. Suddenly, Zhu Rong opened his mouth and instantly sucked the foxfire into his mouth. Immediately afterwards, another strand of fire hair grew on his head. This strand was orange-red and different from the other fire hair.

Zhu Rong was the first fire-attribute deity Chen Jie encountered, and thus followed Chen Jie through several major battles, where he performed exceptionally well.

Moreover, as a fire-attribute deity and the master of all fires, he has a special ability: he can absorb all the fires in the world. Along the way, Zhu Rong has absorbed a lot of various flames. For each flame he absorbs, Zhu Rong will generate a wisp of fire and his strength will increase to a certain extent.

Although the improvement was not much, it accumulated over time and eventually led to a qualitative change.

Along the way, Zhu Rong absorbed many flames, including Han Miaozhen's Phoenix True Fire, the Bifang Divine Fire of the Feng family of Wushan, and this time, he also absorbed the Fox Fire from Hu Santai, the head of the immortal families outside the pass.

Instantly, flames of various colors rose up, making the statue of Zhurong even larger.

Then Chen Jie made a gesture, looked at the golden toad in front of him and said, "Take this! Zhurong Divine Fire Palm!"

With a roar, a series of explosions rang out in the air. At this moment, the golden toad also unleashed its ultimate move, the Tongue Devourer. In an instant, a golden tongue and a divine palm burning with endless flames collided violently in the air.

boom!
The tongue was instantly shattered by the Divine Fire Palm. The so-called tongue-biting technique was merely a very crude method of gathering qi. The qi was transformed into a tongue to attack, but it had the form without the spirit. Therefore, it was scattered and powerless.

This is the essence of the tongue-biting technique; it's all show and no substance. These immortals can't actually learn how to use it.

Chen Jie, however, was different. This Zhurong Divine Fire Palm was a move passed down from the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique. It was transformed by an ancient sage and its power was astonishing, far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.

That's why Chen Jie activated his power, first shattering the weak tongue with a single palm strike, and then slamming his entire divine palm directly onto the golden toad's body.

With a loud bang, the golden toad was blown away.

puff~
Blood gushed out suddenly, filling the air with its spray, and the golden toad was severely injured.

boom!
It crashed to the ground a short distance away, smashing a large tree in half.

That golden toad was truly thick-skinned and tough; even after being beaten like that, it could still barely stand up. At this moment, looking at Chen Jie, it spat out a mouthful of blood with a "poof".

With a venomous look in his eyes, he said to Chen Jie, "Boy, I'll remember you. My Golden Toad Clan swears to fight you to the death. If you ever gain the world, the one who destroys it will be my Toad Clan from beyond the Great Wall!"

After saying that, he turned to run away. Chen Jie was startled when he heard this and quickly tried to chase after him.

The golden toad's words were too insidious. If he didn't know about later history, it wouldn't matter, but Chen Jie, who did know about later history, immediately thought of some things that happened in the future.

If I were Chen Youliang in history, and I could defeat Zhu Chongba, I would take over the Ming Dynasty's ecological niche and establish a new dynasty.

Chen Jie vividly remembered how the Ming Dynasty was destroyed. The Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Jianzhou Jurchens. The birthplace of the Jianzhou Jurchens was the Changbai Mountains and the Heilongjiang River, which is also the place where the Golden Toad is located.

In other words, the golden toad is very likely to ruin the dynasty of its own descendants.

Whether it's true or not, we have to eliminate him.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie wanted to chase after them, but at this moment he heard Hu Santai, who was in his sea of ​​consciousness, say, "The golden lotus is about to open, don't chase after them!"

Chen Jie paused, and at this moment, Hu San Tai Nai in her sea of ​​consciousness also adjusted her state. She was stunned just now, never expecting that her power could be put into one person and exert such a powerful fighting force.

Moreover, this was when she was in very bad condition. But even in this condition, based on the combat power Chen Jie just displayed, Hu San Tai Nai felt that her peak condition was no more than that, and even slightly inferior.

This is terrifying. If I were to provide energy to Chen Jie while in full strength, what kind of combat power would Chen Jiu Si be able to unleash?
It seems he's really about to reach the fifth level of the Fusion God realm.

Grandma Hu San was lost in thought and was momentarily speechless with shock. But just then, she felt a strong call from her bloodline. When she turned around, she saw that all seven petals of the golden lotus behind her had opened, and in an instant, thousands of rays of light and auspicious colors appeared.

Chen Jie felt a jolt throughout his body as a powerful force surged into his mind. Instantly, he gained a deeper understanding of the Dao of Heaven and the Dao of Humanity, and he also understood some aspects of the Dao Fruit that he had never thought of before.

He felt his spirit had been elevated, and in an instant, Chen Jie felt that he had achieved enlightenment. He felt that as long as he fused with the Dao Fruit, he could naturally enter the third stage of the Fusion God realm, which would be within his grasp! Just then, the golden toad ran away. Seeing the golden toad run far away, Grandma Hu told Chen Jie not to chase after it, and the golden lotus had fully opened.

The radiant glow emanating from the blooming golden lotus instantly attracted a group of third-stage fusion gods, including King Qi, Li Siqi, and others. As they approached, they encountered the golden toad on the way. The golden toad was quite displeased with them and slapped them with its tongue.

Seeing this, everyone was startled and quickly moved away. Li Siqi looked at the golden toad and asked, "What's going on up ahead? Why are there so many rays of light?"

Upon hearing this, the golden toad pondered for a moment and said, "The opportunity of the dragon vein has appeared in the world. Didn't you come here to search for treasure? You might as well try your luck. I fought that fox to a draw, and I need to go and heal my wounds first."

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi frowned and asked, "Where are the opportunities for that fox and Chen Jiu Si in the Dragon Vein?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Chan said, "That kid's name is Chen Jiu Si."

After saying that, the golden toad said, "I already told you, that fox and I are both badly injured. Now is the perfect time for you to go and pick up the scraps. If you don't go now, when will you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi thought for a moment, then looked at the group of restless third-stage Molten Gods and said, "Alright, let's go take a look."

The golden toad chuckled, thinking to itself, "I can't beat you, but I'll annoy you with some humans. Chen Jiu Si, I'll remember you. If you ever gain the world, I will surely bring chaos to your realm!"

Thinking that Jin Chan was about to leave, and seeing that Jin Chan was about to depart, Li Siqi suddenly spoke up: "Senior Jin Chan, aren't you coming with us?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Chan thought to himself, "What am I supposed to do there? Get beaten up?"
However, this cannot be said outright, otherwise why would these people be willing to die because of greed?
Having figured this out, Jin Chan chuckled and said, "Well, my wife is about to give birth, so I won't be going. You all go ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden toad left. Everyone in the room looked at him with suspicion.

Li Siqi looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, we came here for this opportunity. Since Senior Golden Toad said that the two of them were both injured, the fox must be in a bad state as well. Let's go and see. Maybe if we rush in, we'll have a chance to seize that opportunity."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all perked up. Yes, they had come here specifically to obtain this opportunity, so how could they not be tempted by such an opportunity?

Thinking this, everyone immediately chimed in: "Yes, that's right, this is a rare opportunity, how can we miss it?"

"Isn't this the very opportunity we've been waiting for? How could we not be tempted by such an opportunity?"

Let's go take a look.

Everyone immediately headed towards the central golden lotus.

At this moment, in the central area, the golden lotus finally bloomed in full, and the seven-colored rays of light radiated throughout the earth's veins. These seven-colored rays of light contained the insights of heaven and earth.

At this time, everyone who is within the earth's veins can feel this sense of heaven and earth, but the depth of this sense varies depending on the distance.

Chen Jie was closest to Jinlian at this moment, and he slowly approached her.

In the very center of the large golden lotus was a small golden lotus, its petals tightly closed, standing there quietly. Upon seeing this small golden lotus, Grandma Hu Santai exclaimed excitedly, "This is a golden lotus, formed from the earth veins outside the pass, and also a seed of the Heavenly Dao. With it, we can completely control the changes in the earth veins."

At this moment, Hu San said, "Help me, help me pick it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie nodded slightly and reached out to pick the golden lotus. However, he then saw the golden lotus slowly emit four-colored light.

Seeing the four-colored light, Grandma Hu said, "Don't move around. You can't touch these four-colored lights. If you want to pick them, you must understand what these four colors represent."

Chen Jie looked at the four-colored light on the golden lotus in front of him: green, red, yellow, and white.

What do these four colors represent?

At this moment, Hu San said, "Haha, what a stroke of luck! What a stroke of luck! It's truly a blessing from heaven! This golden lotus of the earth veins is actually manifesting the colors of the four seasons."

Chen Jie was taken aback and asked, "Four seasons?"

Spring Summer Fall Winter?

Chen Jie looked at the earth veins with curiosity. Hu San said, "That's right. It's quite a coincidence. These earth veins are the foundation of the earth and the basis of all things. Shennong was the first to discover their existence. After that, emperors of all dynasties would use the earth veins for sacrifices. Therefore, emperors had three sacrifices: sacrifice to heaven by setting up the Temple of Heaven, sacrifice to earth by setting up the Temple of Earth, and sacrifice to temples by setting up the Imperial Ancestral Temple to commemorate their ancestors."

"The altar of the earth is dedicated to the earth's veins and the power of Shennong."

Grandma Hu San said, "And since you, a descendant of Shennong, are here today, the Golden Lotus of the Earth Vein must be the most perfect in function, and..."

At this point, Grandma Hu paused for a moment before continuing, "And this might also be an opportunity for you."

Chen Jie said, "Opportunity?"

"Your Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Manual seems to be incomplete!"

Chen Jie paused, then looked at Grandma Hu and said, "That's right, one part of the secret is missing. Does Sister Hu know the whereabouts of this secret?"

Grandma Hu San shook her head and said, "You think too highly of me. How could I possibly know these things? But..."

Grandma Hu paused slightly at this point and said, "You can use this Earth Vein Golden Lotus to determine the location of this final technique."

"The Golden Lotus of the Earth Veins is related to the power of Shennong, so it is sensitive to the things left behind by Shennong. Especially since you have gathered the three secrets, there is a divine will in the dark, and it will naturally give you guidance."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Grandma Hu and said, "You mean, by taking the Golden Lotus, we can find out the location of what Shennong left behind?"

Grandma Hu San said, "Mmm!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Since that's the case, what are we waiting for? Let me pluck this golden lotus for Third Sister."

Grandma Hu said, "Very good, then this trip can be considered a great success!"

Chen Jie nodded, but just then Hu Santai suddenly said, "Wait, it seems like a group of thieves have come by. Should we deal with them first?"

Chen Jie frowned upon hearing this: "They've come at just the right time!"
