Chapter 15 Ambush Xu Qing
Kunpeng couldn't help but cry out in surprise, attracting the attention of Fuxi and the others.
"So what if it's Xu Qing? Don't make a fuss."
Taiyi felt that Kunpeng's performance was somewhat embarrassing for the Heavenly Court, so he snorted and then spoke.
"Alright, Xu Qing has ruined our plans time and time again. The Demon Master is just a little surprised. The best course of action now is to discuss how to deal with this."
Di Jun was somewhat helpless. Taiyi was arrogant and conceited, while Kunpeng was cautious and timid. Their personalities clashed, and the two often had conflicts during meetings in the Heavenly Court.
"I've also heard of Xu Qing. He's the one who killed the Styx and destroyed a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi."
Fuxi spoke again, feeling somewhat anxious. Xu Qing was powerful and had a brotherly relationship with the Three Pure Ones, making him difficult to deal with.
"This Xu Qing has repeatedly targeted my Heavenly Court and sabotaged my great cause. He even killed the worshipper of the Styx River, and now he's interfering in the matter of Nuwa joining the Heavenly Court. Otherwise..."
Di Jun made a throat-slitting gesture.
"But behind him are three disciples personally taught by the Dao Ancestor, all of whom are destined saints. Even if they have not yet become saints, their combat power should not be underestimated."
Kunpeng was somewhat tempted. He also hated Xu Qing to the core, but he was always wary of the Three Pure Ones.
"What's there to be afraid of? The Three Pure Ones are all cultivating in Kunlun Mountain right now, only Xu Qing is outside."
If we lay in ambush, four against one, we can definitely kill Xu Qing in one strike.
If Xu Qing dies, it will be four against three. Perhaps Nuwa can be brought in, making it five against three. Can't that do anything to the Three Pure Ones?
As for becoming a saint in the future, that's a matter for the future. As long as we kill Xu Qing, conquer the Wu Clan, and unify the prehistoric world, we too can become saints. What can they do then?
Taiyi was furious when he saw Kunpeng's cautious and timid demeanor, and immediately retorted.
Even today, he still habitually addresses the people of Heaven by their given names, rather than by honorific titles such as Xi Huang and Nuwa.
Kunpeng was somewhat angry after being rebuked, but after thinking carefully about Taiyi's words, he had to admit that there was some truth to them.
Both Fuxi and Dijun predicted that the Heavenly Court would be able to unify the prehistoric world and become saints. The people of the Heavenly Court firmly believed this.
Now, everyone is at the late stage of Quasi-Saint, and perhaps they can even become Saints before the Three Pure Ones.
After pondering for a while, Kunpeng snorted coldly and stopped talking, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Fuxi and Dijun both considered it for a while, nodded, and approved the plan.
Taiyi hadn't expected that his plan would be accepted by his elder brother, and he immediately felt a little proud, staring at Dijun with his phoenix eyes.
Di Jun smiled warmly and reached out to touch Taiyi's head, just as he used to comb Taiyi's fur before he took human form.
Seeing this scene, Fuxi couldn't help but think of Nuwa. Having been away from Nuwa's Palace for a long time, he missed the girl who had grown up under his wings.
Kunpeng noticed that no one was speaking all of a sudden. He didn't know why, but he felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Finally, Kunpeng couldn't wait any longer and said, "In that case, let's discuss where to ambush Xu Qing. We must be careful in this matter."
As he spoke, Kunpeng looked at Dijun, unaware of the anger in Taiyi's eyes and the disdain in Fuxi's eyes.
Di Jun withdrew his hand, immediately composed himself, and decisively said, "Alright, we must be careful in this matter."
After discussing for more than half a month, the four finally reached an agreement and returned to their respective caves to prepare.
On the other side, after obtaining the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Xu Qing immediately headed to the Western Paradise.
A red light flashed across the primordial sky, and soon Xu Qing saw Jieyin and Zhunti, who were waiting for him with their signature expressions.
"Fellow Daoist Xuqing, it is an honor to have you here. I am sorry for not welcoming you sooner. You just left and have returned. May I ask what brings you here this time?"
Jieyin and Zhunti cupped their hands in greeting to Xu Qing, and then Jieyin asked a question.
Xu Qing's round trip took only a few years. Excluding travel time, he basically only stayed in the East for a few days. It's impossible that Xu Qing found a magic weapon that could maintain the Red Cloud True Spirit in such a short time.
Could it be that Xu Qing, having discovered he couldn't find it, is about to give up and abandon the earth veins, since their unobstructed flow doesn't offer much benefit to his Blood Sea?
Thinking of this, Zhunti was about to speak, imitating what happened in Zixiao Palace, and start crying out, but Xu Qing spoke first.
"I have found a way to maintain the true spirit of the Red Cloud. I would be very grateful if you two could take me to see Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi again."
"Oh...oh good, fellow Daoist, you really have...you have quite the skill."
Zhunti nodded somewhat blankly, then turned and led Xu Qing into the interior of the Blissful World.
When Xu Qing saw Zhen Yuanzi, he remained in the same posture, staring intently at the red light, his breathing synchronized with Zhen Yuanzi's as it flickered.
However, compared to last time, even with Zhen Yuanzi's careful care, the red light was still somewhat dimmed.
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, how have you been?"
"Although ginseng fruit has a strong vitality, it is not pure enough. It needs to be refined by a suitable innate top-grade spiritual treasure before it can be used. I am also worried about this."
"The ginseng fruit tree is my natal spiritual root. Do you think I wouldn't give it a try? Do you take me for a fool?"
Zhen Yuanzi and the ginseng fruit have a great causal connection. As soon as Xu Qing entered the cave, he sensed the aura of the ginseng fruit. Since Xu Qing returned so quickly, he assumed that Xu Qing was trying to use the ginseng fruit to make up the difference.
Upon hearing this idea, Zhen Yuanzi immediately became somewhat angry, and his words carried a hint of rage.
Xu Qing understood Zhen Yuanzi's thoughts and, somewhat helplessly, immediately took out the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
"Fellow Daoist, do not be anxious. I certainly do not believe that the ginseng fruit alone can save Fellow Daoist Hongyun. Fellow Daoist, take a look at this treasure, the Map of Mountains and Rivers."
"This is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, capable of nurturing life. Although its life force concentration is insufficient, it can purify the life force of the ginseng fruit. I wonder if it would be worth using."
"What! This treasure was bestowed upon Nuwa by the Dao Ancestor! How did you obtain it?"
He had also sensed the aura of the Mountain and River Map in Zixiao Palace, but he still found it hard to believe. How could something bestowed by the Dao Ancestor be lent out so easily?
"This matter is none of your concern, fellow Daoist."
Xu Qing had no intention of explaining.
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, why don't you use a magic weapon to help Fellow Daoist Hongyun sustain his true spirit? You've been protecting it with your original essence for the past few hundred years, and I'm afraid it's almost damaged to the core."
Seeing that the two were not in a hurry, Zhunti spoke up somewhat anxiously.
"In any case, I thank Fellow Daoist Xu Qing. I have offended you in the past."
Upon hearing Zhunti's words, Zhen Yuanzi immediately regained his senses. He picked up the Mountain and River Map in one hand and the ginseng fruit in the other. Nuwa had already lifted the restrictions on the Mountain and River Map before handing it to Xu Qing, so there was no need to refine it again.
Zhen Yuanzi was not an impulsive person, but the death of his close friend and the mental strain of hundreds of years had almost caused him to develop inner demons, which gradually made him irritable.
Purifying life force using the Mountain and River Map is inherently complex, and it also requires preserving the true spirit of the Red Cloud within it, making it quite difficult.
Zhen Yuanzi tried three times before succeeding. Finally, Hongyun Zhenling stabilized and no longer needed Zhen Yuanzi to watch over her day and night. He only needed to feed her ginseng fruit on time.
