046 Initial Phoenix · Crossing Tribulation Method

  Chu Feng's magical powers had reached a great accomplishment, and in the Huang Jing Hall, rare flowers and exotic fruits, as well as mountain delicacies and seafood were laid out. Chu Feng, Er Feng, San Feng, Hui Zhu, Jin Xu Nu, and Dong Xiu sat in the main seats, while Xu Fei Niang and Yue Qing sat in the guest seats. San Feng and Dong Xiu had previously issued an order, instructing Wu Fan to act as the master of ceremonies, directing all the disciples and servants to bow down one by one to congratulate Chu Feng.

  The entire Zi Yun Palace was in a grand celebration for three days, and Chu Feng was also very happy. Especially when San Feng showed him the divine magic gourd, and Dong Xiu's five yin magic flags, he couldn't help but praise them: "You and Dong Xiu have both obtained great skills, Jin Su Nu also has a precious treasure in hand, it can be said that you will all safely pass through the calamity. Only Er Mei and En Mu do not have..."

  Two phoenixes held wine cups beside them, saying: "My husband and I are one body, naturally we live and die together. My husband has the Taiyi Qingning Treasure Fan left by Master Lian Shan, which can surely bring peace."

  Hui Zhu also said: "I think that the calamity is also a response between heaven and man. I created so many sinful karma, and I will have to suffer from such a severe calamity. In those years when I practiced Buddhism, if there was any gain, my heart already had a measure. You all find your own way, don't worry about me. I think that starting tomorrow, I will go out to sea to accumulate some merits and blessings to resolve the disaster."

  Yue Qing inserted a sentence: "Several palace masters are worried about the trouble of crossing the tribulation, I happen to have a method that can slightly exhaust their strength."

  Sanfeng has been cultivating the divine demon gourd these days, and the higher the degree of integration between his primordial spirit and the six Ding and Jia demons, the more he marvels at the ingenuity of this treasure and the power of the Ding and Jia demons. He is already deeply impressed with Yue Qing, and upon hearing this, he says: "Younger brother has some clever method, quickly tell me!"

  Yue Qing said: "Our Wutai Sect has the Ten Great Mountain-Conquering Divine Swords, renowned throughout the world. I think the three immortals of the Eastern Sea have been practicing their swordplay at the East Sea's Fishing Platform for years precisely to counter our sect's divine swords. Our school has a set of Five Poison Divine Swords, unmatched in power and infinitely useful. In the past, when Huang Shan dueled with swords, my master used this very sword to defeat Qi Xuanming."

  Xu Fei's wife hastily said: "Younger martial brother, that Wu Du Xian Jian is a secret of our Wutai Sect that is not to be passed on!"

  "Sister! The several palace masters are not outsiders. These days we have been treated with great hospitality by them, and besides, we still need their help."

  "That won't work either!" Xufei's voice was stern and severe. "If you dare to pass on the sect's secret techniques outside, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

  The two of them were arguing here, San Feng saw the advantage: "Junior brother said that he has a request for us? What's your trouble, just speak up, as long as it's something sister can do, I absolutely won't stand by and do nothing! Even if it means sacrificing my own life, I will definitely make it happen for my brother!"

  "I'll thank the three palace masters first." Yue Qing said, "I want to ask the palace master for some Tianyi true water to refine a magical treasure. If the palace master is willing to part with it, I'm willing to use our sect's Five Poisons Immortal Sword's refining method as thanks!"

  "Yue's surname!" Xufei shouted, releasing seven flying swords that turned into a series of green lights surrounding Yue Qing, "If you dare to leak the sect's secret method, I'll make your body and spirit disappear!"

  The first phoenix and several others saw that she had released her flying sword, knowing that she was serious, hurried over to persuade her. The second phoenix and Dongxiu, one on the left and one on the right, hugged Xue Fei's arm, persuading her in every way to put away her flying sword, and also asked the palace staff to serve tea.

  Xu Fei's face turned iron-green as she said, "It's not that I'm being petty, but that sword is truly extraordinary. Among the Five Elements Sect's ten great divine swords, the Wu Du Xian Jian ranks fifth. Just think about how arrogant Qi Shuangming was! How formidable were the Three Saints and Two Elders? Back then, my master used the Wu Du Xian Jian to first defeat Qi Shuangming, then defeat Xuan Zhenzi. Later, when the Three Saints and Two Elders joined forces, my master was finally unable to withstand them and was injured. The Wu Du Xian Jian was also seized by Ku Xing Tou Tuo and destroyed, not daring to let it exist in the world, fearing that the disciples of our sect would use our sect's techniques to summon the sword back and avenge themselves!"

  Three phoenixes exchanged a glance, and Xu Fei's words really hit their soft spot. They were able to enter the Lian Shan treasure trove on Moon Island and obtained many elixirs and treasures, including the Tian Mo secret manual they are currently cultivating.

  However, this matter was all thanks to the planning and efforts of the two old men from Mount Song. Although they were grateful in their hearts, the magical powers of the two old men always made them feel that they were far inferior, and even if they practiced for a lifetime, they would never be able to reach that height.

  Jin Xunu was the most powerful among the six of them, even stronger than Chu Feng. However, he encountered his old rival Tie Yun Daoist and could only flee in defeat, while Tie Yun Daoist was just a child to be toyed with in front of the two old men from Song Mountain.

  Thus, the two old men of Songshan had always been a heavy and oppressive shadow in the hearts of Sanfeng and others. Now, hearing Xu Fei's words that the Five Poisons Sword was so formidable that even the three immortals and two old men were no match for it in single combat, even Chu Feng couldn't help but feel a thrill in her heart.

  Three Phoenix gave Eldest Sister a signal, letting her go and negotiate with Yue Qing, while she herself came to persuade Xu Fei Nang. After speaking for a while, seeing that Xu Fei Nang was unmoved, she again reddened her eyes and fell into tears: "Just pity your poor little sister! The calamity of the scattered immortal for five hundred years is not trivial, Little Sister has obtained the divine demon gourd, but it's also not very reliable. Moreover, there are Second Sister and the benefactress from back then!"

  Dongxiu also persuaded beside: "Sister Xu has always been the most generous and kind-hearted, Bodhisattva's heart, besides, we sisters have known each other for a hundred years, and she can't bear to see her own sister die."

  On the other side, Chu Feng and Second Brother Feng also came to persuade Yue Qing. Yue Qing didn't need persuading, he had always advocated for teaching Ziyun Palace swordsmanship, so he was delighted to discuss it with Chu Feng: "Ziyun Palace is a paradise on earth, a divine mansion in the mortal world. In my younger years, I traveled extensively with my master and visited countless immortal caves and mansions. Honestly speaking, even if you add up all of theirs, they don't amount to one ten-thousandth of Ziyun Palace."

  Chu Feng felt proud in his heart and humbly said a few words.

  He suddenly shifted the topic: "However, precisely because of the sacred nature of the Purple Cloud Palace, it requires even more powerful magical swords and treasures to suppress and guard it. Since ancient times, all immortal families have had the saying '鎮洞' (镇洞) '鎮山' (镇山), using precious objects to suppress and guard the aura, protecting the cave mansion. Otherwise, it would be easy for other evil paths to covet it. Although the several palace masters have now refined the divine sand path to resist external invasions, it is still far from enough!"

  Chu Feng thought for a moment, and indeed, there was no treasure in his palace that could "stabilize the palace". Upon careful consideration, among everyone's magical artifacts, the Taiyi Qingning Fan belonging to Jin Wusou was the most powerful, but it couldn't be considered the stabilizing treasure of the Purple Cloud Palace.

  Yue Qing continued to say: "We Xianjia refine treasures, all for the purpose of eliminating disasters and crossing tribulations. Disasters and tribulations are nothing but heavenly calamities and human troubles. Therefore, without powerful magical treasures, it is very difficult to overcome disasters. Palace Master, have you heard that those old demons in Western Kunlun each possess treasures that can destroy heaven and earth? Among them, the Star宿 God has even sealed off the sources of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers together. If an enemy comes to attack, but at the moment of life and death, he will activate the forbidden technique, causing the Central Plains to return to its primordial state, and only a king like Yu can govern it. That's why they have been able to stand for thousands of years without falling."

  Chu Feng nodded in agreement as he listened: "I've also heard of those ancient demons' deeds, all of whom were giants of the demonic sect thousands of years ago. ...What does Brother Yue think this Purple Cloud Palace should be arranged like?"

  Yue Qing sank into thought for a moment: "If I were to say this, and it were to come true in the future, causing great calamity, then it would all be my fault."

  Chu Feng waved his hand: "As you said, the forbidden law is not to be used unless absolutely necessary. If it really comes to that point, it's also because the enemy has been too oppressive. Whatever heavenly disaster or calamity occurs, I'll share it with my opponent, and won't shift the blame onto a fellow Taoist!"

  After being repeatedly begged by Chu Feng, Yue Qing declined: "If you want me to say it, I can, but only if the great palace master agrees to one condition of mine. Otherwise, in the future, there will be endless troubles left for both our sides, and even if my head is chopped off, I won't be able to say it."

  Chu Feng nodded: "Fellow Taoist, whatever you have to say, just speak up. If Chu Feng can do it, she will not shirk."

  Yue Qing said: "The Grand Master, you should establish the rules and regulations of the palace, strictly restrain the disciples in the palace, and not let them act recklessly outside." He glanced at San Feng and Dong Xiu who were chatting with Xu Fei Niang on the other side, and didn't say anything further.

  Chu Feng understood his meaning but was somewhat puzzled: "What does this have to do with asking for directions from fellow Taoists?"

  "The Grandmaster asked me for the Town Palace technique, it was for self-protection. In fact, I also helped the Grandmaster to strictly enforce the palace rules, which was also for his own protection. However, as the saying goes, 'Heaven's fault can be forgiven, but human fault cannot be tolerated.' If one has a reliance, they will inevitably become more and more unscrupulous in their actions, and eventually become tyrannical and hated by all, like Mount Emei. Even with great magical powers, it would be difficult to escape the wrath of heaven and the resentment of men. The reason why Mount Emei can continue to grow stronger despite its overbearing behavior is mainly because they have relatively strict door rules. As for those who do not follow the rules, like the former leader of the Tianyin Sect, even if they had cultivated their powers to an unmatched level, they still ended up being executed by heaven."
