Chapter 28: The Azure Lotus of Creation

  Di Jiang escaped from the Wanxian Great Array and first found Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, who had stolen his Li Di Yan Guang flag at this critical moment, which was really hateful.

  Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao saw Emperor Jiang staring at them, greatly startled, and hastily handed over the Li Di Yan Guang flag to return it to Emperor Jiang. Emperor Jiang coldly snorted, having risen to a murderous intent, but thinking that these two were people who would fill in the ranks of the future Shen Shu Bang, if they were killed by himself here, then the two vacant positions wouldn't fall on his own head, and thus he spared them. However, he also couldn't let them off so easily.

  "Having borrowed the Flame Banner for so long, shouldn't you have some kind of explanation?" Emperor Jiang said, his eyes fixed on Xiao Sheng's hand holding the Golden Money.

  Xiao Sheng Cao Bao took a look and knew that Emperor Jiang wanted the Luobao gold coins. He was deeply distressed in his heart, but he couldn't resist, so he reluctantly handed over the Luobao gold coins to Emperor Jiang, while secretly regretting it. If only he had known earlier that the person with the spiritual treasure was Emperor Jiang, he wouldn't have come back to tell Duke Dong Wang about it.

  Emperor Jiang collected the Li Di Yan Guang flag and the Luo Bao Jin Qian, and began to walk towards other cultivators. The Penglai Island cultivators were frightened out of their wits and couldn't help but scatter and run away. ?? First release: Zong Wu Emperor Jiang 28

  You think you can just run away without giving me an explanation? There's no such easy thing. A hint of disdain flashed in Emperor Jiang's eyes, and with a whoosh, he transformed into a bird shape, appearing beside the few people running the fastest in an instant. Without any fancy moves, he directly collided with them using his body, sending the cultivators flying like kites with broken strings, falling straight to the ground, their lives hanging by a thread. With Emperor Jiang's speed, not one of the 10,000 cultivators on Penglai Island managed to escape, and more than half were knocked to the ground by him, their lives unknown. The other cultivators who saw this were so frightened that they didn't dare make any rash moves.

  "The Emperor Jiang Zu Wu, all these things are just the thoughts of Dong Wang Gong alone, these Taoist priests are just following orders, I hope you won't take your anger out on them." At this time, Xi Wang Mu finally appeared, looking at the group of frightened Taoist priests on Penglai Island, and stepped forward with a stiff upper lip, standing upright and speaking to Emperor Jiang.

  The Penglai Island monks saw the Western Queen Mother come out and speak for them, and they were all grateful to her in their hearts.

  "Is it Queen Mother of the West's intention to let me release these monks?" Emperor Jiang looked at the woman in front of him, saying indifferently.

  The Queen Mother of the West couldn't guess what was on Emperor Jiang's mind, so she simply nodded her head.

  "Alright, I'm not a good killer either. I can let them go, but you have to bring out something in exchange." Di Jiang said unequivocally.

  "I don't know what Emperor Jiang Zu Wu wants to exchange." Seeing Emperor Jiang relaxed, the Queen Mother of the West felt much more at ease.

  "Create a beautiful lotus." Emperor Jiang didn't bother to waste words with him and directly stated his own purpose.

  "We don't have this thing on Penglai Island, can we exchange it for other items?"

  "Nothing?" Emperor Jiang was puzzled, and Queen Xi Wang's expression didn't seem like a lie either. Could it be that the divine lotus hadn't been born yet? In that case, he could only occupy the Penglai Three Islands and wait quietly for its birth.

  "Since there isn't, then I'll take the entire Penglai Island in exchange." Emperor Jiang said with an unyielding tone. Without caring whether the Queen of the West agreed or not, he waved his hand and all the cultivators on the island except for Dong Wang Gong were invited out by Emperor Jiang.

  "You, you actually want to occupy my Penglai Island, don't even think about it."

  At this time, the Eastern King also woke up and happened to hear Emperor Jiang's last sentence. He couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. As the manager of Hongyuan appointed by the Taoist ancestor, he was actually robbed of his territory by someone else. If this got out, how could the spirits of Hongyuan still trust him?

  "If I were you, I'd be more concerned about my own life safety rather than meddling with external affairs." Emperor Jiang gazed at Duke Dong Wang, taking step by step towards him, his heart also filled with rage. This was the first time he had encountered such a huge crisis and suffered severe injuries. Today, even if you were appointed by the Dao Ancestor himself, I will still kill you.

  Looking at Emperor Jiang's eyes filled with murderous intent, the Eastern King finally sobered up and realized that this person really dared to kill him, and his heart was terrified.

  "Emperor Jiang Zu Wu, I am willing to give you the island of Penglai to compensate for the losses I have caused you." The Eastern King began to speak in a soft and gentle tone.

  Dì Jiāng didn't bother with him and continued walking towards him.

  "Emperor Jiang, I am the Hongyuan administrator appointed by the Daozu. If you kill me, aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Daozu?" Seeing Emperor Jiang's non-response, Dong Wanggong took on a tougher stance.

  Emperor Jiang still ignored him and continued walking forward. ?? First release ancestor witch Emperor Jiang 28

  Dong Wang Gong's mental defenses finally collapsed, and he shamelessly begged Emperor Jiang to spare his life.

  "You're also a master of one side, if you die, then so be it. Why put on such an act?" Emperor Jiang said disdainfully as he looked at his pleading appearance.

  "We cultivators live as long as heaven, naturally cherish our lives, and the countless kalpas of life have not gone far before they are cut off. How can we not beg for mercy? I hope that the ancestors will think of my hard work in cultivation and spare me. After the Eastern King, there will definitely be a heavy retribution."

  Di Jiang smiled, "Revenge? I believe in heavy revenge."

  Dong Wang Gong saw Emperor Jiang's expression and knew he wouldn't let him off, so he looked at his own dragon-headed cane, pinning his hopes on the Daoist ancestor.

  Only then did the Eastern King suddenly kneel to the ground, wailing and crying out, "The Daoist Patriarch is above, I, the Eastern King, have managed the Hongmeng with a single heart and mind. Alas, I was oppressed by the Emperor's people, now my body is about to die and my soul disappear. I can only hope that the Daoist Patriarch will come quickly to take me." After finishing speaking, another wave of sorrowful wailing echoed through the heavens.

  Emperor Jiang saw him like this, even more disdainful, his fist raised, ready to give him the final blow. Just as Emperor Jiang's fist was about to hit Dong Wang Gong's body, a feather duster suddenly appeared, and with just one flick, Dong Wang Gong in front of Emperor Jiang disappeared, Emperor Jiang's fist smashed straight into the ground, and Penglai Island couldn't help but shake violently.

  Hong Jun really came, Di Jiang was annoyed in his heart. He turned around and saw Hong Jun still looking like an ordinary old man, and Dong Wang Gong showed a joyful face after surviving the disaster.

  "This person has lost virtue and wants to harm me. We have already formed an unbreakable fate, I hope Master Hongjun will give in and let me settle this fate with him." Emperor Jiang walked forward and said calmly.

  Dong Wang Gong's heart was racing as he watched from the sidelines, this Emperor Jiang was indeed overbearing, daring to speak to Dao Zu in such a manner.

  "Dong Wang Gong's actions were also indirectly caused by me, but today I must save him once." Hong Jun said, looking at Emperor Jiang, seeing that he didn't speak, knowing that he was not satisfied in his heart, and continued to say: "I know you came here for the sake of Cang Hua Qing Lian, so I'll help you get it, to end this cause and effect."

  After finishing speaking, with a flick of his sleeve, the Penglai Island shook violently. Before long, a green lotus platform broke out of the ground. The lotus flower had twelve petals, spotless and radiant with vitality flowing slowly on its surface - it was the Canghua Green Lotus. This Canghua Green Lotus would originally be taken away by the Three Pure Ones soon after, then split into three parts to become Laozi's spade, Yuanshi Tianzun's jade scepter, and Tongtian Jiaozhu's green sprout sword. The legend of "the three teachings are one family" had been passed down, but now it was obtained by Emperor Jiang, who knows what would be used as their proof of the Dao after the Three Pure Ones.

  Dong Wang Gong saw that the Penglai Island he had previously occupied actually still had such a top-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, and his heart couldn't help but throb with excitement.

  "I had taken the Penglai Three Islands, but was worried about how to get it out. Fortunately, Master Hongjun lent a hand and saved me a lot of trouble." Emperor Jiang said with a deadpan expression as he took the Canghua Qinglian from Master Hongjun, emphasizing that this Canghua Qinglian on Penglai Island would have been his anyway.

  Hongyuan couldn't help but laugh and scold: "I didn't expect you to be so greedy, but I can give you some other magical artifacts. However, I can answer a few questions for you separately and dispel your doubts about cultivation." As he spoke, Hongyuan's expression turned serious.

  It seems that there is no other benefit to be gained, but Hongyuan's response to answer his own questions about cultivation is also good, and he happens to have some unclear points.

  Di Jiang didn't put on airs and directly asked: "May I ask, Dao Ancestor, how can I become a saint?"
