After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 215 Continue to play music
Three days passed in a flash.

Changwei Mountain.

Iron-Blooded Ancestor gradually grew impatient. On this day, he sought out three other people who could make decisions: Chen Qingfeng, Linghu Zhengyi, and Master Zhenshui, one of the Four True Men of Hundred Flowers Mountain, to discuss the next move.

Changsun Bing was worried that they would harm Qi Sheng. Her unborn child had already lost its biological father, and she didn't want her child to lose its adoptive father as well, so she came along to listen in.

For some unknown reason, Phoenix Hermit also joined Linghu Zhengyi at the meeting.

Master Suyu and Master Suxin, who had interacted with Qi Sheng, were also present at Baihua Mountain.

then.

The four groups of eight people gathered together.

Master Zhenshui of Hundred Flowers Mountain is the most senior and oldest among the sixteen masters of the Hundred Flowers Array. However, looking at her, with her full head of silver hair draped over her shoulders, she clearly looks only fifteen or sixteen years old. She is mature and steady, yet also has a touch of innocence and naivety. She has a beautiful face, skin as white as jade, and is barefoot and dressed in white. This is not a master or patriarch at all, but clearly a lively young girl.

Upon seeing this, Linghu Zhengyi exclaimed in amazement: "Master's art of rejuvenating is truly divine and rarely seen in the world."

Master Zhenshui laughed and said, "This is just a minor path. Without crossing the Dragon Gate, it will be difficult to achieve the Great Way."

The young female ancestor smiled, her face glowing with youthful beauty, her cheeks flushed, her eyes sparkling, her gaze captivating. Linghu Zhengyi was momentarily stunned until a cold snort came from beside him, at which point he snapped out of it and quickly regained his composure.

But Phoenix Hermit did not let it go: "Some people are open to both fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls and three or five hundred-year-old women. Master Zhenshui's technique is good, it can combine the two into one. The three or five hundred-year-old girl is both beautiful and dignified, which is exactly what some people want."

Linghu Zhengyi looked embarrassed and quickly said, "Phoenix wouldn't dare to talk nonsense."

Master Zhenshui's pretty face turned cold. This couple was truly outrageous. The wife was jealous, and the husband was philandering. Today, they were even flirting and fighting over a man, which was really absurd!
Phoenix Hermit persisted: "Where am I talking nonsense? I just want to help you get the art of rejuvenation from Master Zhenshui so that all the old women in your family can cultivate it and become tender young women in their late twenties, saving you from having to steal women and leave your seed everywhere."

"enough!"

Linghu Zhengyi finally became enraged.

You shouldn't hit someone in the face, and you shouldn't expose someone's shortcomings. Although he is indeed a womanizer and has a lot of affairs, his wife shouldn't say it in front of so many people.

So embarrassing!
Master Zhenshui's pretty face was filled with murderous intent, and a killing aura was already swirling between her brows.

She wants to kill someone.

At this time.

Chen Qingfeng stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "We've gathered here today to discuss the matter of Young Hero Qi and the treasure 'Ze Ding,' so let's leave other matters aside for now."

Iron-Blooded Ancestor was also impatient: "Let's talk about family matters when we get home."

He then said, "That Qi Sheng, a young man, cannot grasp the treasure and is greedy for it. Little does he know that as soon as the Five Sect Elders arrive, disaster will befall him."

Chen Qingfeng then asked, "What are your thoughts, Ancestor?"

The Iron-Blooded Ancestor had already planned ahead: "Go find him again and explain the pros and cons. If he is willing to give up the Ze Cauldron for us to refine together, that would be good. If he is not willing, for the sake of the overall situation, we will have no choice but to take action and seize the Ze Cauldron for refinement first."

The Iron-Blooded Ancestor glanced at everyone present and said, "In short, Qi Sheng has to refine this Ze Cauldron whether he wants to or not."

How domineering!
But Master Suyu was the first to agree: "Treasures are truly rare. Unclaimed mystical artifacts are hard to come by even once every hundred years. If it is really because Qi Sheng was selfish that the five sects took them away, it would be a great pity."

The world's treasures belong to those with virtue.

What virtues does Qi Sheng, that brat, possess?

He doesn't deserve it.

After the Iron-Blooded Ancestor and Master Suyu took the lead, Master Suxin, because she had fought alongside Qi Sheng in the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss, did not dare to express her opinion.

But her silence was already a statement.

In addition, Linghu Zhengyi and Master Zhenshui remained silent, and they also tacitly agreed to the proposal of Tiedan Laozu and Master Suyu.

Chen Qingfeng, however, was unwilling to go too far: "Young Master Qi is unaware of the power of the Five Sects' Supreme Elders. It is only natural for him to be reluctant to part with such a treasure. We should appeal to his emotions and reason with him. If he can personally witness the danger of the Supreme Elders' invincibility, he will surely consider the overall situation."

Master Zhenshui asked him, "Does the Grand Master mean to wait until the Five Sects' Supreme Elders attack before seeking out Qi Sheng?"

Linghu Zhengyi smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's too late."

Iron-Blooded Ancestor sneered: "Don't be so soft-hearted!"

Chen Qingfeng said, "If we join forces, we are no less than an invincible being. Even if we cannot defeat him, protecting Qi Sheng and Ze Ding should not be a problem. Young Hero Qi is young and impetuous. Rather than pushing him to the brink, we should go along with him."

Taking advantage of someone's misfortune is unacceptable.

Offering help in times of need is acceptable.

Chen Qingfeng knew about Qi Sheng.

Changsun Bing, who knew this well, seized the opportunity to speak up for Qi Sheng: "Young Master Qi has always been the type to respond to gentle persuasion but not force. He had a promising future in the Netherworld Sect, but he resolutely killed someone and even rebelled against the sect because he was persecuted by a junior. If we push him too far, who knows what extreme things he might do?"

Taking advantage of the chaos, Phoenix Hermit chimed in: "That makes sense."

Changsun Bing continued, "The 'Ze Ding' is not actually a supreme treasure for main combat purposes. Master Suxin should know this very well. It has two abilities: one is to control and suppress water, and the other is to refine 'Gui Water Essence'. The latter is the most precious. What we are seeking from the 'Ze Ding' is nothing more than the 'Gui Water Essence' that can prolong life."

Master Suxin nodded, "That's true."

Mysterious artifacts are classified into different levels and categories.

Some are primarily for combat, such as the Netherworld Sect's treasure, the "God-Destroying Blade," which is a renowned weapon of slaughter.

Some are unrelated to combat. For example, the Wanjian Sect's treasure, the "Six Yang Divine Cauldron," is unparalleled in its ability to refine sword embryos, but it is far inferior when used in actual combat.

The same goes for 'Zeding'.

Therefore.

Changsun Bing's idea was: "Since Young Hero Qi has said that he will hold the 'Gui Water Grand Gathering', he will not monopolize the 'Gui Water Essence'. Instead of forcing him to take out the Ze Cauldron to refine the treasure, why don't we just ask him to promise a share of the Gui Water Essence? Wouldn't it be a win-win situation if we both compromise?"

She genuinely cared about Qi Sheng, and her suggestion was biased towards him.

But there is some truth to it.

But how can we ensure that Qi Sheng will obediently give up his share of Yuan Jing?

Even if you agree at this point, can you guarantee that you can keep splitting the debt once or twice?
There are too many uncertainties in all aspects.

Iron-Blooded Ancestor, Master True Water, and others frowned. Just as the two factions were at an impasse, each sticking to their own version of events...

suddenly.

At this time.

A tremendous power emanated from outside, interrupting the argument.

Linghu Zhengyi's expression changed in surprise: "Could it be that the Supreme Elders of the Five Sects have come to attack?"

When the Iron-Blooded Ancestor opened his wise eyes and took a look, his brows gradually furrowed.

……

Suddenly, a burst of music arose in Changwei Mountain. Its melodious sound was so pleasant that it made people feel relaxed and happy.

After a while, a high-pitched sound suddenly rang out.

Sometimes, all eight instruments are played together, and the music of flutes and pipes delights the ear.

Sometimes it transforms into the sound of grand bells and drums, accompanied by the roars of dragons and tigers.

It's like hearing the grand music of the heavens, a sound that captivates the soul.

Swish swish!
Without a moment to discuss, Tie Dan Lao Zu, Zhen Shui Da Shi, Chen Qing Feng, and the others leaped up to look around.

Just as I was wondering about it, the music started again, soft and delicate, its sound melodious and enchanting.

"Chief Master".

Feng Xingzi, the second-in-command of the Righteous Alliance, also rushed over upon hearing the news. He recognized the music and exclaimed, "This is 'Ze Ding' playing music!"

Master Suxin and Phoenix Hermit, who were standing nearby, also recognized it: "That's right! It is indeed Ze Ding!"

They had all heard this music in the Golden Eagle Lake of the Prison Dragon Abyss, and after a little discernment, they found that it was almost identical.

"Ze Ding?"

"Could it be that Qi Sheng is refining a supreme treasure?"

Master Suyu was startled.

The refining of a supreme treasure has caused quite a stir; the current commotion is truly significant.

The voice just fell.

Suddenly the music stopped abruptly. Just when everyone thought that Qi Sheng was refining the Ze Ding and that he had stopped after noticing the noise, they were shocked.

Then another sound, like tearing silk, was heard—a deafening roar—

boom!
Outside Yingxian Ridge, a large lake suddenly roared, its waters boiling as if a pot had come to a boil, with bubbles rising several feet high, churning and expanding in all directions.

A moment later, a water column four or five feet thick and more than two zhang high suddenly rose from the left and remained on the water surface.

A little while later, another one appeared on the right side.

There are dozens of such protrusions, one after another. Although they vary in height and thickness, they are dazzling to the eye, like dozens of transparent red crystal pillars standing on the water, creating a spectacular sight.

"this--"

Even the Iron-Blooded Ancestor, with his vast experience and knowledge, had no idea what trick Qi Sheng was up to.

But what happened next was even more shocking.

Chen Qingfeng climbed to a high vantage point and looked out. He saw that starting from the large lake at the foot of Yingxian Ridge, and looking further out and further into the distance, he saw that in the lakes and streams, large and small, all were rumbling and churning, with columns of water shooting into the sky, numbering in the hundreds and thousands in the blink of an eye.

The scope continues to expand.

The water column continued to rise.

From an initial height of two or three zhang, it has exceeded ten zhang in the blink of an eye.

Linghu Zhengyi was shocked: "What a show of force!"

Is this 'Zeding' Vaillant?
But Qi Shengxin has not yet refined the Ze Ding, so how can he use it?

Everyone was surprised and suspicious.

Master Suyu frowned: "Could it be that the supreme treasure is unwilling to be refined, thus creating boundless power?"

Can't figure it out.

I really can’t figure it out.

Master Zhenshui frowned and looked around, glancing at the distant rivers and lakes, then at the formation below. The rivers and lakes were turbulent, with thousands of water columns rising continuously, while music was playing loudly and in a complex and melodious manner within the formation below.

Accompanied by music.

Those water columns kept rising, long ago exceeding ten zhang, long ago exceeding one hundred zhang.

It was hundreds of feet high, and its presence was earth-shattering.

After about an hour and a half, the water columns seemed to have reached their limit, but with a loud splash, the thousands upon thousands of water columns suddenly contracted downwards, like a snow mountain collapsing or a glacier sinking.

boom!
A thunderous roar of water, like ten thousand horses galloping, was heard, followed by a vast expanse of water stretching for thousands of miles. Countless floods burst forth from the rivers and lakes, overflowing the riverbanks and lake shores in a mighty torrent, like a flash flood, instantly submerging many small hills.

"What exactly are you doing?"

Everyone was astonished.

Meanwhile, in the arena, Feng Xingzi, Phoenix Wanderer, and Master Suxin, who had experienced the great flood after the destruction of the Prison Dragon Abyss's small grotto-heaven, seemed to see the scene repeating itself, and were momentarily terrified—

"Could it be that another celestial lake has shattered, turning thousands of miles of mountains into thousands of miles of water?!"
