Chapter 42: Six-winged Black Mosquito

  The exercise of the Tian Shen array was completed, and all the other ancestral witches returned to their own tribes. However, Emperor Jiang was left alone with nothing to do, and he did not return, instead staying in the Pangu Temple to cultivate. To say that Emperor Jiang was truly incompetent as a leader, the affairs of the witch tribe were basically not managed by him, but rather by several virtuous witches.

  On this day, Emperor Jiang suddenly rushed to Yuanshen and felt a stir. After calculating, he found that there was a pre-heavenly spiritual treasure nearby that was about to be born. Emperor Jiang did not hesitate and immediately flew out of Pangu Hall to search for it, following the principle of "better safe than sorry".

  "That's it." After a search, Emperor Jiang finally determined the direction and flew straight over.

  Only a short distance away, there was a banana tree with four banana leaves on it. The aura of earth, water, fire and wind appeared vaguely on the leaves. Emperor Jiang was overjoyed, realizing that the four superior pre-heavenly spiritual treasures, the Banana Fan, were about to be born. He hurried towards it at an increased speed, only to find someone already standing under the tree.

  This person wore a dark red long gown, with a deep and solemn expression, surrounded by an aura of killing intent that made people feel uneasy at first glance. He was the Old Ancestor Minghe, born from the bloody sea, also a powerful figure in his own right, but for now, he had not yet beheaded any corpses, so not many people paid attention to him.

  Minghe is now overjoyed, never expecting that by casually going out for a stroll, he would have such good fortune and suddenly encounter four top-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasures being born, fearing that even the disciples of those saints do not have his kind of luck.

  Just as he was rejoicing, Emperor Jiang suddenly arrived, and his heart was greatly shocked. This Emperor Jiang was a powerful figure, if they were to fight, he would be powerless. For a moment, his heart was deeply disappointed, the spiritual treasure that had been obtained was about to fly away, and he couldn't even muster up any thoughts of resistance, what a worry!

  Emperor Jiang discovered the Naihe River and also started thinking, remembering that in his previous life, he had obtained a Wind Attribute Banana Fan from the Naihe River, which was later given to his youngest daughter, Princess Tie Shan. In Journey to the West, it once caused Sun Wukong to suffer greatly. This banana fan must have had heavenly karma and cause-and-effect within it, but it's not good to snatch it away now. Moreover, he still needs to plan for the Industry Fire Red Lotus in Naihe River's hands in the future, so it's not good to be overly hostile towards him at this time.

  Thinking of Emperor Jiang's industry being on fire, he was greatly troubled. He had created the Void Decision based on the Chaotic Blue Lotus Technique, but found that to completely eliminate all good corpses, he would have to use all five colored flags from the Five Directions. As for eliminating evil corpses, he would have to use all four directions of the lotus platform. As for eliminating his own corpse, Emperor Jiang had no idea what it would take, and thought it wouldn't be simple either.

  Although this void decision made his own law power far surpass that of the same boundary cultivators, thinking of the five-color flag and the four-square lotus platform made him speechless. The other four flags in the five-color flag were easy to handle, and now Emperor Jiang had collected three faces. The Qinglian Treasure Color Flag would also appear on the Fenbao Rock after Hongjun's third lecture. With his own strength, it shouldn't be difficult to grab it, but the last plain-colored cloud boundary flag still existed in Hongjun's hands, which was later handed over to Yaochi and became the Tian Ting Qi Yun Zhi Bao Ju Xian Flag. If he were to snatch it, he would have to bear the consequences of offending Hongjun and the entire Heavenly Court in the future, fearing that Hongjun would take direct action at that time.

  The four-sided lotus platform, I have already obtained two sides, and the other side, the Red Lotus of Karma, is in the hands of Minghe, to be used for suppressing the Qi of the Shura teachings in the future. Minghe is not strong, but he has a good plan, however, the last piece of merit, the Golden Lotus, was also obtained by Hongjun and handed over to Zhunti to guide the two to suppress the Qi of the Western Teachings. If it were only related to Zhunti's guidance, there would still be some hope, after all, the Jie teachings that will be destroyed in the future, the four swords of exterminating immortals have been snatched away, and this Western Teachings cannot be said to be eternal. If something unexpected happens, I can take action to seize it again, and it's not impossible. Moreover, in the future, a six-winged black mosquito will appear, which can absorb three pieces of the twelve-piece Golden Lotus with one suck. If I take action at that time and seize all twelve pieces of the Golden Lotus, it won't be difficult. After all, the only concern is Hongjun.

  "Unexpectedly, Minghe also has a fate with these spiritual treasures and found them before me, it's indeed an extraordinary opportunity." Emperor Jiang said to Minghe without thinking further.

  Minghe couldn't understand what Di Jiang meant for a moment, so he humbly said: "Since the Emperor has found you, it's naturally because you have more fate with the Emperor."

  Di Jiang smiled and said, "It's not right for one person to own all four of these spiritual treasures. Why don't I take the earth and water fans, and you take the fire and wind ones? Is that okay?"

  Minghe was overjoyed upon hearing this. Originally, he had been prepared to lose the Spiritual Treasure when Emperor Jiang came over, but unexpectedly, Emperor Jiang gave him two instead. For a moment, it felt unreal, and his impression of Emperor Jiang naturally rose sharply.

  "The Emperor's distribution method, Minghe will obey." Minghe bowed to Emperor Jiang.

  "Then we'll just quietly wait for the spiritual treasure to take shape."

  "It's as it should be."

  Two men were discussing something in a very perfect manner, but at this time, another person came riding on an ox. This man had white hair and a youthful face, with an expression of non-action. Who else could it be if not the first of the Three Purities, Laozi?

  The old man arrived, and Minghe was worried again. This person is a saintly cultivator, and he also has the position of a saint on his body. He can't afford to offend him either.

  Di Jiang's face remained calm, as if he hadn't seen his father at all.

  Laozi saw that Emperor Jiang and the other had already arrived, and was startled. Especially when he saw Emperor Jiang, he didn't know how to speak for a moment. After adjusting his words, he said: "I calculated during my cultivation that there is an object here that has fate with me, but it's the fire-attribute banana leaf on this tree. I don't know if you two fellow Taoists would be willing to give it up."

  The Emperor Jiang seemed to have not heard anything, and didn't ask any questions. His two eyes were still fixed on the banana tree, anyway, he only wanted the fire attribute banana leaf, which had nothing to do with himself.

  Minghe saw Laozi open his mouth, and his heart was more painful than anyone else's, but he still replied: "The fire-attribute banana leaf originally belonged to me, but since fellow Taoist has a predestined relationship with it, I should naturally give it to fellow Taoist." After finishing speaking, Minghe couldn't help but turn his head to look at Emperor Jiang, why was it so coincidental that this old man's destined object happened to be the fire-attribute banana leaf that belonged to himself?

  "Thanks so much, fellow Taoist." The old man didn't stand on ceremony either and accepted it directly.

  It fell into brief silence once again.

  After a year, the banana leaves finally matured. The banana tree withered quickly, more thoroughly than the calabaza vine, and turned directly into powder on the ground. The four banana leaves instantly detached and transformed into four fans of yellow, black, red, and green.

  Laozi made the first move, immediately collecting the red fire attribute banana fan. Minghe also took action, collecting the green wind attribute banana fan. At this time, Emperor Jiang was about to collect the remaining two banana fans, but suddenly a strange mosquito flew out of Minghe's body. The mosquito was black and had six wings, directly flying towards the remaining two banana fans.

  Minghe and Laozi didn't pay attention to it. Emperor Jiang was greatly shocked, the image of this six-winged black mosquito was something he couldn't not know, it was the very same mosquito that later devoured the Turtle Spirit Sacred Mother and the Twelve Merit Golden Lotus. Not daring to hesitate, he immediately used his Spatial Seal, instantly immobilizing the six-winged black mosquito, while also retrieving the two banana fans.

  Just as he was about to turn back and catch the six-winged black mosquito, he saw that the trapped black mosquito suddenly transformed into thousands of them, instantly breaking free. The other small black mosquitoes wrapped around Emperor Jiang, while its main body fled straight into the distance.

  Emperor Jiang smiled, although he didn't know how the six-winged black mosquito ended up here, but since it appeared, don't think about running away again. In the future, I'll still have to rely on it to help me obtain the twelve-petaled golden lotus. As soon as he saw the black mosquito, Emperor Jiang thought of a plan. This black mosquito had sucked three petals of the Golden Lotus of Merit at that time. If he controlled it and let it suck harder, wouldn't it directly absorb the entire Golden Lotus of Merit? At that time, it should save him a lot of trouble.

  Di Jiang suddenly broke through the swarm of mosquitoes in an instant and immediately chased after the six-winged black mosquito that had escaped.

  "Ming River Daoist friend, what's with the mosquito flying out of your body?" Laozi asked curiously as he saw Emperor Jiang hastily chasing after the black mosquito.

  "These six-winged black mosquitoes were also born from the sea of blood, and have been relying on devouring the flesh and blood of living beings or ingeniously refining treasures. I just don't know when it hid on my body." Minghe's face turned pale with fear, afraid that Emperor Jiang would be angry with him. "Fortunately, Emperor Jiang Zu's actions were quick, and he didn't let it devour the remaining two banana fans. Otherwise, this matter would have been difficult for me to explain."

  Laozi heard that this mosquito was just a creature born in the sea of blood, and suddenly lost interest. After saying goodbye to the River Styx, he rode on the green cow and flew back to Mount Kunlun.

  Minghe saw Laozi leave and flew back to the Blood Sea, while being anxious in his heart, worrying that Emperor Jiang would vent his anger on him. This also made him dare not come out of the Blood Sea for a long time, because in the Blood Sea he was absolutely safe, even if the Daozu himself took action, it would be difficult to kill him, after all, the Blood Sea is not dry, and Minghe will not die.
