From waterfowl, it began to transform into the Great Sun Golden Crow.

The towering flames had already ignited the dragon.

The fiery dragon burst into flames and charged at Qin Wuxie using the most ancient method.

There are no illusory moves.

He had no Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques, but relied solely on his powerful physical body to ignite the sky above Dongting Blessed Land.

The dragon roared, its fiery fangs snapping at Qin Wuxie.

Qin Wuxie smiled slightly. He simply stretched out his hand, using the miasma to block the Crimson Fire Dragon's body.

"Old Yu, should we make a move now?"

Gu Heting watched anxiously from the sidelines. This Crimson Fire Dragon possessed immense spiritual power, but its intelligence was far inferior to Qin Wuxie's. The cunning human evil cultivator wouldn't give this dragon many opportunities.

Moreover, this Crimson Fire Dragon has not yet gained intelligence.

"Wait a little longer, little one. Do you remember that immortal named Ziyun?"

What time is it? Jing Li is still mentioning Immortal Ziyun.

"Old Yu, why are you bringing him up?"

"No, didn't he give you the Purple Sun Thunder Bamboo? Do you know what it's used for?" Gu Heting shook his head upon hearing this. He didn't know what the Purple Sun Thunder Bamboo was used for, and he hadn't even used the Phoenix-Carrying Book to investigate it.

"It can ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune. This thing is extremely yang in nature. It takes more than a hundred years to cultivate."

Jing Li's words made Gu Heting realize the truth instantly.

Qin Wuxie in the sky is an evil cultivator, and very likely a ghost cultivator among evil cultivators. Perhaps this extremely yang object is fatal to Qin Wuxie.

"You mean using this to launch a sneak attack?"

Judging from Lao Yu's eyes, he seemed very certain.

Gu Heting, however, always felt uneasy.

He was shaken, feeling that this whole thing was unreliable.

Old Fish glanced at the little waterbird: "The Purple Sun Thunder Bamboo is recognized as the most influential magic weapon for ghost cultivators. Unfortunately, this Purple Sun Thunder Bamboo is not a magic weapon now."

After being prompted by Jing Li, Gu Heting seemed to have thought of something.

He glanced at Jing Li and said, "Wait for me a moment."

Gu Heting waved his hand.

His book of instructions then appeared before the two of them. Jing Li opened his mouth wide, and after a long while, he was in a daze and didn't know what to say.

No wonder this guy has awakened his divine sense.

One can speak even before reaching the Qi Refining stage.

It turns out this guy actually possesses a natal magical artifact, but this natal magical artifact is quite strange.

The River-Swallowing Fish also possesses a natal magical artifact, and that giant azure cauldron is its own.

But this thing actually exudes divinity.

It made him unconsciously want to worship it. This feeling lasted for a while before he leisurely asked, "Little one, what is this thing?"

"Perhaps it's my natal magic weapon. It can transform rare and precious materials into magic."

There's such a thing.

The River-Swallowing Fish stared at him blankly. After a long silence, facing the little fellow's gaze, he sighed, "Ah, little one. Do you know the saying, 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime'?"

"You're so naive. What will you do if you get robbed one day?"

"It's just that I'm old and my lifespan is coming to an end. I've long lost interest in the troubles of the world. If it were anyone else, they would have killed and robbed you long ago."

What the river-swallowing fish didn't expect was that...

Looking into his eyes, Gu Heting spoke sincerely: "I believe you won't hurt me, and we are friends."

"I originally intended to escape and leave this blessed land of Dongting."

"But you've saved my life time and time again. If you don't want to run away, I won't either."

Three sentences left the river-swallowing fish speechless.

He never imagined that this little guy would feel such emotions, just like his owner had back then.

Master Yunlin was practically his second father.

They taught him to read, to recognize characters, to practice exercises, and even helped him develop his intelligence.

The world of cultivation is rife with deceit and treachery.

He never imagined that they would still treat him as a friend after all this.

Gu Heting ignored Jing Li's stunned expression. He opened the book in front of Jing Li. Soon after, Gu Heting shook the ring.

The book, carried by a phoenix, was written in the bright sunlight.

As the cyan ring emitted a bright light, the Purple Sun Thunder Bamboo within it was absorbed into the ring.

[Purple sun wards off evil, heavenly thunder dispels malevolent influences.]

[Rolling thunder, displaying my might.]

[The Purple Sun Heavenly Thunder, which grows within the Azure Wood Immortal's Footprints and the Medicine King's Hall.]

[A Purple Bamboo Immortal, having exhausted his life essence, irrigated it, infusing it with the spiritual power of a Nascent Soul.]

This is a 1600-year-old Ziyang bamboo.

[Actual age: 800 years old.]

[It can ward off evil spirits and dispel malevolent influences; it is a rare and precious material specifically designed to counter ghost cultivators.]

The cultivation technique for the Ziyang Heavenly Thunder Clan has now been generated.

[Purple Lightning Protection Technique, Purple Sun Protection Technique: Now generated.]

[Technique Name: Purple Sun Protection Technique]

Surrounded by heavenly lightning, it shatters countless evil spirits.

[A surprise attack can be used against the protective techniques of ghost cultivators.]

Soon, a cultivation technique appeared on the Phoenix-carried book—the [Purple Sun Protection Technique].

"Surrounded by lightning, I held my breath and slept."

"Old Fish, wait for me a moment, let me try practicing."

Jing Li was completely dumbfounded. This little book was too powerful. Its Azure Cauldron could only store water to enhance water-based techniques.

But this directly changes the method of practice.

Such incredible power! It's a shame that the heavens are so unjust; how could such a small water bird possess such a skill?

Time passed, enough for an incense stick to burn.

Outside, the battle between Qin Wuxie and the Illusionary Fire Dragon had reached a fever pitch.

At this time.

Gu Heting was wrapped in a thin robe made of purple lightning. Following the techniques and mental cultivation methods taught by Feng Xianshu, he had actually mastered them in a short period of time.

Although it can only exert 20% of its power now.

But he had only been training for a short time.

It's like forcing a duck onto a shelf.

You can use it.

Gu Heting thought for a moment, then turned to Jing Li: "Practicing this technique further will take time; this is the best I can do. Senior Jing Li, what should we do now?"

Jing Li observed the extremely tense battle situation.

The mirror showed it.

Qin Wuxie had already summoned countless skeletons. The skeletons clung to the Illusionary Fire Dragon's body, extending their withered, branch-like hands, curling them into claws, and tearing at the dragon's flesh.

The Illusionary Fire Dragon relies on its powerful physical body.

Constantly enduring damage.

It tumbled in the air, trying to shake off the annoying ant.

But the army of skeleton ants clung tightly to him.

No matter how much the Fiery Dragon burned its body, layer upon layer of skulls clung tightly to it like plaster.

Seeing this, Jing Li frowned: "If this continues, this dragon overlord is going to lose."

"What should we do then?" Gu Heting asked.

"I will use the Four Directions Clear Water Cauldron to protect this dragon. If it dies, the entire Dongting Blessed Land will be doomed. I don't want to see that happen."

"Even if the opponent is at the peak of the Core Formation stage." Jing Li's expression was heavy, but his words were so firm.

Jingli has lived here for thousands of years.

He did consider running away, but where could he go if he ran?

He's getting old and has settled down here; he can't just stand by and watch evil cultivators wreak havoc on the area.

Even if he fought with all his might,

We must also strive to find a way out.
