Longevity Candle

Chapter 50 The Elves Gather and Fix the Candlelight

Back to Peach Blossom Village.

Life settled down, becoming warm and peaceful.

As time passed, Yao Yao's martial arts skills improved once again. She drew out a wisp of primordial energy from her heart, her true essence doubled, and she glimpsed a second wisp of the power of heaven and earth.

Li Erfeng was old enough to live, and even though his lifespan was extended by three years, it was only to stay a little longer.

Li Qingping cried his heart out, but Yaoyao didn't shed any more tears; she seemed to have taken life and death in stride.

There's still no news from the Immortal Fox Temple, and finding the White Crane Couple will also take time.

The snowstorm has ended, and the weather has returned to normal.

But the world became even more chaotic, and the fairy fox told him that people in various places had risen up in rebellion.

Some martial arts practitioners came to Peach Blossom Village, hoping to invite her to join a rebellion, but she refused them all.

Some martial arts practitioners harbored ill intentions and wanted to take action against Peach Blossom Village.

Their martial arts skills are extremely high, each far surpassing the top martial arts masters of their time, and they can even deplete their lifespan to unleash powerful combat strength.

Yao Yao killed them and obtained a secret technique from them—the Blood Burning and Mind Stabilizing Technique!
She only glanced at it and didn't pay any attention, because she had done good deeds.

The chaos of the world has already affected Peach Blossom Village, so she began to work on relocation.

Some people were unwilling to leave, after all, with Yaoyao protecting them, life in Peach Blossom Village was good and peaceful.

Yao Yao didn't insist, and since she was ninety percent willing to relocate, she set about contacting the Fairy Fox.

For ordinary people, crossing mountains and valleys is still too difficult.

With the help of the fairy fox, things will be much easier.

The fairy fox agreed, saying that the fox clan would help with the relocation.

The cranes agreed and were willing to help; in addition to them, the Jingwei bird would also come.

Before they knew it, Yaoyao was almost fifty years old, and Li Qingping was about to turn twenty-six. He had already cultivated true essence, and his talent was terrifyingly strong.

Looking at the green lamp in her hand, Yao Yao led Li Qingping to the south.

Above the clouds, two white cranes gracefully descended, and a Jingwei bird spun a few times in the air before landing on Yaoyao's shoulder.

A white fox with nine tails emerged from the mountains and forests. Behind her were five other white foxes, all of whom were her disciples, immortal masters and Taoist priests.

"Mountains, mountain and sea spirits?" Li Qingping stared in shock at the scene. Thirty percent of the dragon energy within his body surged out and hovered above his head.

The appearance of the dragon's aura startled them, but since it was only 30%, they calmed down.

"National destiny and dragon aura? Immortal talent? They've all come together in one person." Bai Shuang sized up Li Qingping: "Jiang Zhu is really lucky."

"I have met four elves."

Yao Yao cupped her hands and said, "This is my younger brother. This is my biggest secret. He once received the favor of the spirits of the mountains and seas and embarked on the path of martial arts."

"Is this the green lamp?" Li Qingping looked at the green lamp.

Yao Yao nodded: "Yes, he has always protected me. I didn't want to bring you here, but now that the immortal path has entered the mortal world, you will understand sooner or later. I need your help this time."

Li Qingping gradually calmed down. He realized that his elder sister had said he had the talent for immortality, which must have been said by Qingdeng.

"Jiang Zhu, Jiang Zhu." The Jingwei bird tilted its head, looking at the green lamp. "How much longer until it wakes up?"

"Soon, I've been keeping track of the time," Yao Yao said, then asked, "Have you resolved your problem?"

"That old guy doesn't know the way, so I've shaken him off for now," the Jingwei bird said smugly.

"Where exactly did you offend him?" Bai Ling asked. "I went to see him specifically. Although he is older, he doesn't know anything. He only came to you to ask for the fruit back."

The Jingwei bird said dejectedly, "How was I supposed to know he was a great spirit? I just happened to eat one of his fruits while traveling, and he kept chasing after me, demanding that I return the fruit. But I've already eaten it, how can I return it?"

I also did some good deeds as compensation, but that ignorant fool insisted on having his fruit.

The Jingwei bird recounted her story with the old man.

That was because she traveled far to the West, a place very far from the Qian Kingdom.

The people there seem to be living in a primitive age, eating raw meat and drinking blood, without any civilization.

The Jingwei bird, wanting to do good deeds, began to teach those people.

At first, they were blessed with good deeds, their days were very fulfilling, and they were full of expectations for the future.

But when she accidentally ate a fruit from an old tree, the old tree awoke and chased after her to repay the debt.

If it weren't for the good deeds she had done over the years, which increased her magical power, and the fact that the other party didn't want to kill her, she really wouldn't have been able to return to the Qian Kingdom.

"That old fellow is just a country bumpkin, he has no taste or knowledge," Jingwei said angrily.

"No wonder he knew nothing; he was born in a wild and untamed land," Bai Ling realized. The candlelight flickered, and the green lamp lit up.

Jiang Zhu slowly woke up, looked at the elves, and bowed, saying, "Thank you all for coming all this way."

“We are friends, and even without merit, we will come,” Jingwei said.

"Indeed, we are friends, and we may need your help in the future."

Bai Shuang said, "The Qingjiang spirit is currently dealing with its karmic burdens and is unable to come. They asked us to apologize to you."

The nine-tailed fox spirit remained silent, only nodding at him.

“He has already given me a gift,” Jiang Zhu said.

"Jiang Zhu, time is running out. Let's get started. Little Nine-Tailed Fox, you and your immortal masters set up the formation first."

After Bai Shuang finished speaking, she looked at Yao Yao and Li Qingping: "You take your younger brother with you and be ready to use the dragon energy at any time. He is the key to stabilizing Zhuzhao."

Yao Yao nodded, and Li Qingping said solemnly, "Just tell me what you need me to do."

“We will seal off the mountain and define the area of ​​the Candlelight Fire. Once the Candlelight Fire moves, you will draw upon the dragon energy to enter the mountain and suppress the Candlelight Fire, allowing Jiang Zhu to absorb it,” Bai He said.

"What do I need to do?" Jiang Zhu asked. "Should I use the Candle Illumination skill to draw out the flame?"

“You don’t need to do anything, because it’s afraid of you.” Bai Shuang stared at the mountain: “I can feel the fear there.”

“Afraid?” Jiang Zhu was taken aback. “How could it be afraid of me? I’ve never seen it before.”

"Perhaps you are not an ordinary green lamp spirit."

After the white crane finished speaking, it flapped its wings and took flight.

The nine-tailed fairy fox, along with its five white foxes, surrounded the mountain.

They unleashed their magic, and pink light bloomed, forming a circle that penetrated deep into the earth and sealed off the mountain.

The white crane couple flapped their wings and descended, dropping three thousand white feathers, all transformed by magical power.

The white feathers gathered into a bowl, covering the mountain, and combined with the magic power of the nine-tailed fairy fox.

The range of the two methods' power rapidly narrows.

Rumble

The mountain trembled, and a massive crimson wave of energy, like a torrent, crashed against the magical barrier.

Some crimson currents actually spread along the magical barrier towards the elf and the five white foxes.

A violent will swept over them, impacting their minds.

"Li Qingping," Bai Shuang shouted.

"Let me go first." The Jingwei bird spread its wings, its body radiating brilliant golden light, peaceful and serene, and murmured: "When I lower my eyes, heaven and earth are at peace, and the world is at peace."

"When I awoke, all spirits were at peace, listening to the truth."

"I recite the mantra, bringing peace and tranquility..."

As she chanted, a peaceful light enveloped all the elves and celestial masters, and their raging will was suppressed.

The elves looked surprised, and Jiang Zhu was also quite astonished, not expecting Jingwei to have this ability.

The magical barrier was searched again, and the crimson torrent continued to surge, but it could not shake the combined forces of the four elves and five immortal masters.

When the magical barrier shrank to a radius of 100 meters, the crimson torrent became even more violent, the mountain cracked, and the center collapsed.

Golden magma surged, and an even more terrifying force crashed against the barrier, while that will grew increasingly violent.

"I can't hold on much longer," the Jingwei bird said urgently.

"Li Qingping," Bai Shuang called out.

Li Qingping leaped into the air, accompanied by a thirty-meter-long golden python of dragon energy, and plunged into the crimson torrent.

The dragon's aura suppressed the crimson torrent, instantly freezing it, with a dazzling light shining from its center.

Before Bai Shuang could speak, Yao Yao, wielding the Seven Stars Sword, holding a green lamp and carrying a river candle, headed towards the dazzling light.

Jiang Zhu immediately activated the Candle Illumination Technique, and a unique sensation emanated from the brilliant light, seemingly eager to merge with the green lamp.

But, the next moment.

bang
In an instant, a golden gust of hot wind rose from the dazzling light, blowing Yao Yao and Li Qingping away.

Without warning, the magical barrier shattered, and the four elves and five white fox immortals were simultaneously thrown back hundreds of meters.

The crimson torrent receded rapidly, everything vanished as if it had never existed, leaving only the scarred mountains.
