Chapter 331: Borrowing strength to fight, mountain and sea monster way

"Possession? Trying to escape?"

Yu Que stared coldly at the dragon shape that had shrunk to a tiny size, and immediately pointed a finger.

Chi Chi!

The boundless sword energy also transformed into extremely tiny particles, slashing towards the "Heavenly Marquis" in strands.

Then, a miraculous scene unfolded in Baiyujing.

A tiny, golden snake-like creature wriggled and darted about amidst the boiling flames, sword energy, and fortune.

When heavy rocks press down on it, it can easily drill through them, even passing through them as if they were nothing.

Yu Que frowned slightly at this.

After the old Taoist priest and the Marquis of Tiance merged into one, they were indeed difficult to deal with.

If it weren't for the fact that he was currently inside his inner world, I'm afraid that no formation or mechanism in the world would be able to control this monster.

While he was feeling the situation was tricky, the old Taoist priest who had been possessed was feeling even more tricky and was extremely nervous.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The possessed old Taoist priest cursed loudly, "How can the spatial barrier of this Immortal Garden be so powerful? Just how much resources did this guy stuff into the Immortal Garden?"

It has shrunk the body of the Heavenly Marquis to the extreme, so much so that ordinary immortals cannot even see its size with their naked eyes.

Once it shrinks to its limit, it becomes like a termite, trying to gnaw at the spatial barrier of Yuque Immortal Garden. It only needs to gnaw a gap to escape.

But now, the barrier of Yu Que's Immortal Garden is like a fly touching cowhide in front of it, unable to bite through it no matter how hard it tries!
quickly.

Yu Que also realized the old Taoist's intention to possess his body.

He narrowed his eyes and immediately increased the stabilization of the Immortal Garden itself, and even temporarily suspended its expansion.

To prevent the continued expansion from leaving the edges empty, and for this old fellow to seize the opportunity to bite through the Immortal Garden and escape.

Seeing this, the old Taoist priest who had possessed the body became increasingly anxious. He ran around the Jade Palace, biting and nibbling at every place he went.

Even if it can't bite through the spatial barrier, it will still disgust Yu Que and ruin all of Yu Que's treasures.

In less than half a day, this fellow had already toured the entire Immortal Garden of Yu Que.

The old Taoist priest who had possessed the body quickly discovered that there was something in Yu Que's Immortal Garden that he could neither pass through nor destroy.

The object was simply a small gourd-shaped piece.

Upon seeing this item, the old Taoist priest who had possessed the body immediately realized that it was a rare treasure in Yu Que's possession, and it might very well be the very object that had enabled Yu Que to grow to this point.

Yu Que was surprised to see the wonder of the little black gourd by this fiend, but he didn't show any emotional reaction.

Given his current status and level of attainment, even if this item were exposed to the world, people could only sigh and say that this item was destined for him.

Besides, the old Taoist priest who possessed the body is bound to die this time. What is there to fear if he is a dead man, even if he knows the wonders of the gourd?

While the old Taoist priest was astonished by the possession, Yu Que had a sudden thought and immediately came up with a plan to turn the tables on him.

Although a gourd cannot actively store items, that doesn't stop external objects from voluntarily crawling inside.

Yu Que silently exerted even more effort to force the possessing old Taoist towards the mouth of the small black gourd, wanting to see if the small black gourd could refine this scoundrel inside!
To his disappointment, the old Taoist priest who had possessed his body was indeed no ordinary person.

Upon seeing the opening of the small black gourd, he immediately stopped himself from trying to crawl inside to explore.

Furthermore, although the little black gourd can refine all the ghosts and gods in the world, even the remnant soul of an old Taoist immortal can be chewed up into soul liquid.

But at this moment, the old Taoist priest had already possessed the true dragon body of the Marquis of Tiance.

Even though that true dragon's body is no longer a body of flesh and blood, but more like a divine body or a body of dragon energy, it is still somewhat different from ghosts and gods, and possesses yang energy and vitality.

If the little black gourd were to actually swallow this thing, it would feel quite disgusting. It would be best if Yu Que used heavenly fire to refine it before feeding it to the gourd.

As a result, even though Yu Que was holding the small black gourd and actively trying to put the old Taoist into the gourd, he was still unable to successfully put the fellow into the small black gourd.

Whenever he is forced into a corner with no way to escape, he will suddenly transform into a huge dragon, growing from the size of a speck of dust to hundreds or thousands of feet in an instant, so that the little black gourd cannot absorb him.

Yu Que frowned, inwardly scoffing:
"Could it be that we really have to keep at it like this, until it's exhausted and dies in my fairy garden?"

This method, in fact, wasn't entirely unacceptable to him.

With the magical power of a True Immortal, even if the opponent is half-crippled, it could take years, decades, or even a hundred years to finish the fight.

Yu Que is currently in the capital, and with the emergence of the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" in the outside world, he simply doesn't have enough time to deal with this old man.

In particular, Yu Que dared to guarantee that the appearance of the Mountain and River Map might attract those immortals from overseas.

He had better get his hands on the Map of Mountains and Rivers before they arrived, otherwise things might change if he waited too long.

Such a thought arose.

Yu Que had a sudden inspiration, and another idea came to him.

Within his inner world, his consciousness watched the old Taoist priest who was seducing him, drilling holes and making incisions everywhere. His physical body, on the other hand, was looking at the Mountain and River Map, a barrier that he couldn't break through and had no way to penetrate.

A smile appeared on both Yu Que's inner and outer face.

Immediately afterwards, the people in the capital noticed that the half-empty space had moved.

After standing there for a long time, he suddenly charged towards the huge mirage in mid-air once again.

But this time, after several attempts, Yu Que chose to sit cross-legged on the huge mirage, and piled his immortal garden, Baiyujing, on it as if he were building stones.

Immediately afterwards, the seven ancestral temple formations also took up positions around the area, together with the Immortal Garden, faintly forming a new grand formation.

This formation is the "luring the snake out of its hole" formation!
Yu Que's idea was to simply use the old Taoist priest for his own purposes, and have the old Taoist priest break through the barrier of the Mountain and River Map.

As a result, the old Taoist's strength will be greatly depleted twice.

Now that Yu Que was facing the seemingly impossible task of refining the Mountain and River Map, he had found a starting point, making it easier for him to do so.

However, doing so also carries certain risks.

That is, after the old Taoist priest drilled through the Mountain and River Map, he might cause trouble in the Mountain and River Map, or even Yu Que might lose more than he gained by trying to steal a chicken.

If the old Taoist accidentally refines the Mountain and River Map, it would be a huge joke.

Yu Que, perched atop the Map of Mountains and Rivers, hesitated for a moment.

However, the above concerns are just that—concerns. The Mountain and River Map is currently only a quasi-blessed land; what exists within it is not a physical object, but rather the spiritual energy and dragon energy accumulated by thousands of dynasties.

If one wishes to refine it and fully realize it as a blessed land, it is by no means something that can be accomplished in a short time.

"In particular, judging from this Mountain and River Map, it seems that it has not yet reached its full potential. Even if it is successfully refined, if the refiner wants to turn it into a blessed land and advance to the Earth Immortal realm, he will still need to continue to accumulate more energy."

Yu Que felt a stirring in his heart.

He possesses a celestial garden, which is already on the verge of becoming a blessed land. While others who obtain the Map of Mountains and Rivers would need to accumulate resources, he could directly absorb it and transform it into a genuine blessed land, or even the prototype of a grotto-heaven!

Such a golden opportunity was right before his eyes, and he couldn't help but be tempted.

And just then.

Yu Que's true form suddenly frowned and glanced in the north and south directions respectively.

In his line of sight, there was not much movement. At most, there were some Dao Palace half-step Nascent Soul cultivators who had come from other places, looking at the capital with either fear or excitement.

However, in his unseen perception, the fortunes of the Central Plains were fluctuating.

Two colossal figures, having already torn apart the aura of destiny above the Central Plains, pressed down towards the capital.

They will arrive in the capital in no more than a day!

Even so, it's still due to the suppression of the Central Plains' fortune and dragon energy. If they were to fully adapt to the Central Plains' fortune and dragon energy, or if the Central Plains' fortune were to decline, they would arrive even faster.

"So those two old guys are here!"

Yu Que scoffed inwardly.

Two true immortals arrived, and behind them were ten ancient cultivators' primordial spirits.

Even if Yu Que is arrogant enough to take on two opponents at once, he still won't get the better of them.

After all, the other party is not like Tian Ce Hou, who has just achieved enlightenment. Instead, he is a true immortal who achieved enlightenment long before him and knows many secrets. He is the one who took the initiative to start the spiritual energy revival and should not be underestimated!

They have rushed here in such a hurry that they have even abandoned the overseas war situation for the time being. They have clearly set their sights on the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and it is even possible that their attack on the Central Plains is for this map.

So he hesitated for only a moment.

Yu Que's mind settled down, and he coldly looked at Bai Yujing Immortal Garden beneath him: "I don't believe that an old thing like you who died tragically many years ago can still stir up trouble."

However, just as he was about to create an opportunity for the old Taoist priest who had possessed his body, he made a firm decision.

Suddenly, he placed his own primordial spirit weapon above Baiyujing and set up camp there.

As for his own physical body, he followed the old Taoist's example, shrinking to the size of a speck of dust, and then disappeared into the space between the Jade Capital and the Mountain and River Map, enduring the suppression from both sides.

Once the old Taoist priest manages to break through the Mountain and River Map and something unexpected happens, Yu Que will personally enter the map to prevent the fellow from causing any trouble.

After much preparation, everything was done.

With a thought from Yu Que, the old Taoist priest in Baiyujing was immediately guided to the edge of Baiyujing.

The old Taoist priest's surprising discovery after being possessed:
"Good, good! The spatial barriers in this area are thinner than in other places."

It suddenly realized that this place was its escape route.

Therefore, the old Taoist priest who had possessed the body suddenly used all his magic power, frantically burning his source energy, trying to break through this spatial barrier and escape.

Snap!

Its burning power is not to be underestimated; it truly bore through the opening that Yu Que had deliberately thinned.

The commotion made Yu Que's eyes twitch slightly.

But then, another barrier appeared before the old Taoist priest, blocking his path. He immediately burst into curses:
"What a vicious brat! He even set up a formation outside. How insidious! I knew it wouldn't be so easy to escape."

Yu Que's consciousness, which remained in his inner world, also sneered and, holding the small black gourd, immediately tried to capture it.

Faced with this situation, especially since he had already expended a lot of his essence, the old Taoist steeled his heart and had no choice but to grit his teeth and crash into the newly appeared barrier.

The impact was so severe that it showed both surprise and delight.

To its surprise, the newly appeared barrier was no weaker than Yu Que's inner world barrier. To its delight, however, it could sense that behind the barrier lay unparalleled spiritual dragon energy.

Once it escapes and enters, it can be devoured immediately, regaining its strength, and even turning around to fight Yu Que in a direct battle!
"What a stroke of luck!" the old Taoist priest exclaimed inwardly. "This fellow must have used all the national fortune of the dynasty to trap me, but he doesn't know that this is a good thing for me!"

The fact that Marquis Tiance was rejected by the imperial court because of a mere divine artifact shows that Marquis Tiance was utterly useless.

But its true form, the soul of a celestial being, is different!
So he possessed the old Taoist priest, burning himself out completely, and showing no mercy to the immortal body he had taken over. Even if it meant losing a little, he was determined to break through the barrier in front of him.

Yu Que watched this scene with nervous anticipation.

Snap!

The old Taoist priest who possessed his body did not disappoint him; this fellow truly lived up to his reputation as the original body of a celestial being's soul.

Because the Mountain and River Map was too large and no one was in charge, it was impossible to wear down and fight against the old Taoist. The old Taoist was unable to react in time and was truly possessed, thus opening a gap.

But before the old Taoist could even rejoice, Yu Que, who had been hiding in the gap, suddenly stepped forward, cleaving through the surging dragon energy inside, and entered.

Then, Yu Que's true form suddenly used his magic to seal the hole.

This unexpected turn of events astonished the old Taoist priest.

Its thoughts raced like lightning, and in an instant it realized that it was probably being used as a pawn by Yu Que.

"You brat!!"

So the old Taoist burned his last bit of essence and squeezed into the landscape painting.

After it broke through the magical power that had blocked Yuque, upon entering, it was greeted by the magnificent and astonishing spiritual energy found in the Mountain and River Map.

However, this diagram seemed to have been triggered, and it didn't even care about the remaining fragments that had entered first and were frantically absorbing and refining spiritual energy.

The entire "Map of Mountains and Rivers" seemed to have been triggered into a trap, shrinking on the spot and rolling up on its own, completely sealing the old Taoist priest inside, and then transforming into a three-foot-long scroll.

Even Yu Que was taken aback by this scene.

At the same time, within the Mountain and River Map, a desperate and terrified scream erupted from the old Taoist priest:
"This is... no, no... it was actually your doing!"

"The Demonic Path of Mountains and Seas!!!"
