The Great Wild God - Chapter 554
Chapter 554 Redemption
“The Fengyang clan’s barbarians have already withdrawn. This emperor will return to Danzhou now. Stay on Lightning Cloud Island so that you can manage it well and prevent the Fengyang clan from returning …”
Martial Emperor Xi didn’t say anything else. His incarnation condensed with a wisp of divine will scattered like thousands of clouds. His true body was thousands of kilometers away, and he didn’t even step foot on Thundercloud Island.
The surrounding thunderclouds quickly surged over like magnificent waves, once again covering the sky above Thundercloud Island tightly, as if nothing had happened just now.
Originally, Chen Xun wanted to hand over the Yin and Yang Profound Heavenly Disks to Emperor Xi Wu, and then the Heavenly Dao Sect would redeem them from Emperor Xi Wu. He didn’t expect Emperor Xi Wu to return halfway back to Danzhou City without even going to Thundercloud Island.
Chen Xun did not know when the eight Fengyang Clan Cloud Meng warships had left.
True Monarchs of the Nirvana Realm would not commit more sins for no reason, lest they would be tainted with too many karmic obstacles and suffer great calamities. Even if the eight thousand Barbarian Soldiers of the Fengyang clan were to be scared away, Emperor Xi Wu would not start a massacre.
However, the Fengyang Clan would not give up Thundercloud Island so easily. They might be able to settle down here for a while, but the Fengyang Clan would definitely come over to pester them in the future.
Chen Xun sat at the edge of the cliff and saw the thunderclouds rolling around him. He felt that danger was pressing on him for a moment. The Golden Scaled Flood Dragon and Black Scaled Flood Dragon also spiritedly circled around the cliff.
“Sect Master” Gu Xinyue, Zuo Qingmu, Su Shousi, and the others flew up the cliff and said when they saw Chen Xun looking at the sea of clouds absent-mindedly.
“Oh,” Chen Xun retracted his mind and said emotionally, “there is no reason why many sects are unwilling to enter the Heavenly Jun Realm. The Heavenly Jun Realm is not easy to live in …”
Gu Xinyue and the others smiled bitterly.
They called for the wind and rain in Cloud Continent, standing on top of the crowd.
Even in the face of the billions of demons surging towards them, they still had the strength to fight. However, after entering the Heavenly Jun Great World, without the suppression of the Heavenly Dao Laws, they were truly as small as ants in front of the Nirvana Realm True Monarch Giants.
Su Tang, Qianlan, and the others quickly recovered from their negative emotions. Recognizing their own insignificance would only strengthen their desire for the Dao, and their eyes would become even clearer and brighter. Perhaps under Xu Zhilong’s powerful pressure, Zuo Qingmu had subconsciously refined the will of all living beings into his primordial spirit. His primordial spirit cultivation actually seemed to have greatly improved.
As for Qing Xuan, Jiang Bingyun, and the others, they still looked uneasy. Chen Xun did not know what had happened today, and whether it would be good or bad for their future cultivation. He thought to himself that it might be the best choice for them to stay in Cloud Continent.
“Let’s go down and talk.” Chen Xun stood up and flew into the cliff with everyone else to avoid the ice clouds, Qing Xuan, and the others being restless, their Qi disordered, and they attracted lightning.
Even in the deep gorge, Thunder Fiend was still fierce. The disciples were still hiding on the Golden Scaled Ship and didn’t dare to be exposed to the lightning clouds.
Chen Xun chose an empty stone valley and settled down with everyone for the time being. “What I said today is all about the internal organs and lungs. I hope that when everyone encounters today’s situation in the future, they will put the overall situation first …” he said.
“Reincarnation is always a mystery. How can you bear to ask us to watch your battle?” Qing Xuan’s eyes turned red and she couldn’t help but complain.
“The Grand Dao is merciless, and it is difficult to seek the Dao. It is rare to see through one’s own life and death, or the lives and deaths of others.”
Chen Xun did not wish for this matter to cause a knot in everyone’s hearts. He smiled lightly and said,
‘”I’ve been thinking about whether or not I should find an appropriate time to leave the trivial matters of the Kui Dragon Pavilion to Zuo shi and Shou Si to take care of. Now that many disciples are in a panic, I won’t leave immediately. But after the Thundercloud Island incident ends, Zuo shi really wants you to shoulder the burden of the Kui Dragon Pavilion with Shou Si and the others.”
The Kui Dragon Pavilion specialized in artifact forging, and Zuo Qingmu’s attainments in formation forging were only inferior to Chen Xun’s, and even Hu Taiyan’s.
Although Zuo Qingmu’s cultivation wasn’t particularly outstanding, he had only cultivated for a short period of time and spent a lot of energy on deducing formations, forging artifacts, and teaching his disciples. Even so, Zuo Qingmu’s cultivation was no slower than others.
Chen Xun had to concentrate more on cultivation in the future. Su Shousi and Gu Xinyue felt that only Zuo Qingmu could assume the position of sect leader.
At this moment, taking over the position of Kui Long Pavilion’s Sect Leader only meant greater responsibility and dedication. Zuo Qingmu did not decline and said,
‘”The Fengyang clan has temporarily retreated, but it may soon return. However, Thundercloud Island is not suitable for many people to guard. How to defend against the Fengyang clan’s attacks is the most urgent matter …”
Chen Xun didn’t have time to be sad. ‘”Since the Heavenly Dao Sect wants to redeem the Black Heaven Plate, I think it won’t be a problem to exchange for two or three Heaven and Earth Rank Mountain Protection Spell Formations. We just need to make sure that we stay on Thundercloud Island and not be driven out. Even if the Fengyang Clan sends people into Thundercloud Island, we can only turn a blind eye.”
Zuo Qingmu and Su Shousi nodded. The east and west of Thundercloud Island spanned seven to eight thousand li. Right now, they did not have the ability to prevent the Fengyang clan from ascending to Thundercloud Island from other directions. At the same time, as a sect that was born, Kui Long Pavilion did not need to occupy the entire Thundercloud Island for the time being.
The Kui Dragon Pavilion only wanted to establish itself in a corner of Thundercloud Island for the time being. Even if the Cyan Flame Lotus Arrow and other powerful killing weapons were no longer of much use in the Heavenly Jun Realm, having a basic Heaven Earth Grade Mountain Protection Formation would be enough to effectively protect a hundred kilometers of land from the invasion of powerful enemies.
“When will the Heavenly Dao Sect send people to redeem the Dao Artifact, or do they have other plans before Xu Zhilong leaves?” Su Shousi asked worriedly.
Chen Xun was just about to speak when his mind stirred. He raised his head to look at the thunderclouds in the north. Someone was indeed passing through the thunderclouds and rushing over. He said, “Perhaps the people sent by the Heavenly Dao Sect have arrived.”
“So fast?” Gu Chengzhuo was shocked and asked, “Or was it said that the person who came was with Elder Xu?”
“You’ll know after reading it.” Chen Xun said.
************************
Chen Xun smiled in his heart and thought to himself, Xu Zhilong saw that he couldn’t afford it today, and he would definitely be unable to climb it in the future.
“Senior Xu just left, why did Brother Meng step onto Thundercloud Island?” Chen Xun greeted with a smile.
“… I didn’t want to cause trouble for you when I was ashamed. I didn’t expect that I would still alert the Emperor in the end. This matter has finally come to an end for the time being.” Chen Xun said.
“…” Meng Xiaoran smiled awkwardly and bowed. “I got Martial Uncle Xu’s voice transmission along the way, asking me to come and redeem the Yin Yang Profound Heaven Plate. I’m sure Brother Chen won’t make things difficult for Xiaoran because Gu Yuzhang and the others are not doing their job properly, right?”
Chen Xun thought to himself that all the disciples of the Meng Clan deserved to have the talent to be merchants. As for Meng Xiaoran, when he landed on Thundercloud Island, he had wanted to delay for a period of time so that he could deduce the restrictions of the Profound Heaven Plate’s array formation. He was afraid that he would not be able to do so anymore.
Chen Xun said, “Brother Meng, it’s not because I’m unreasonable. If we don’t fight to the death, many disciples will probably be buried in the sea of storms. As for the Profound Heaven Plate, there are a total of six layers of formation restrictions. They must be considered top-grade Dao treasures in the Heavenly Jun Great World. I think they can finally be compared to three to five Tier 3 Heaven and Earth Mountain Protection Formations, right?”
Chen Xun believed that the Heavenly Dao Sect wouldn’t become intimate with him just because he didn’t have enough chips, so he naturally didn’t need to show any mercy at this moment.
“The Dragon-Snake Lightning Subduing Formation is not a Tier 3 Heaven and Earth Mountain Protection Formation, but it is very suitable for Fellow Daoist Chen to set up a sect on Thundercloud Island” Luo Xiaoran patiently offered a price.
Even though he didn’t belong to Jin Xi Peak in the Heavenly Dao Sect, Xu Zhilong was an elder of the sect, so he couldn’t mess things up if he was ordered to do something.
Chen Xun had seen an introduction to the Dragon-Snake Lightning Array in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s catalogue. Under the dense lightning environment of the Thunder Cloud Array, it could indeed play an even stronger role. However, no matter what, the Dragon-Snake Lightning Array was only an elementary Heaven and Earth grade mountain protection array. Even if he took out twenty to thirty at the same time, it might not be comparable to the two Profound Heaven Disks.
However, Chen Xun also knew that the Jiang Clan viewed the Wind Empress of Snowdragon Mountain and the Great Hong Clan as experts. At this time, they might not be willing to see him obtain too much from the Heavenly Dao Sect, causing the entire Heavenly Dao Sect to harbor evil intentions towards Danzhou.
Meng Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief. This condition was not high, so Jin Xifeng could not blame him for his incompetence. He agreed and said, “I will send a message to the Precious Gathering Pavilion to retrieve the two Dragon-Snake Lightning Subduing Formations. But I’m sure Daoist Chen wouldn’t mind if I stay on Thundercloud Island for two more days, right?”
Chen Xun thought to himself that if he were given another three to five days, it would be impossible for him to deduce the restriction of the formation within the Yin Yang Profound Heaven Disk, so he would not be able to reject Meng Xiaoran outside the island.
It was all thanks to Emperor Xi Wu personally taking action that the matter could be resolved smoothly. Although Emperor Xi Wu would not covet a mountain protection formation, they had to know how to advance and retreat. At the very least, they could not let any complaints arise from Emperor Xi Wu’s subordinates.
