Chapter Thirty-Four: The Water Immortal Cave, The Azure Dragon Reappears

  As he cultivated, he felt a sense of ease and freedom at first, but the more Zhang Emperor Xin cultivated, the more he felt a chill on his back, as if a pair of cold eyes were staring at him from behind. Suddenly, a bead of cold sweat trickled down his spine, and when he turned around, he saw a green elixir slowly trembling in the mist.

  Qinglong Daoist! Zhang Emperor Xin was shocked in his heart. At the beginning, Zhao Gongming killed Qinglong in seconds and left this inner elixir with him, telling him to take it later.

  Ke Zhangdi Xin didn't know how to use it, and Kong Xuan was also in a hurry. The problem hadn't come up yet, so he didn't ask where he went, so the matter of using it was delayed. But unexpectedly, this thing actually came back to life in the spiritual spring!

  "Ghost Valley! I didn't think we'd meet again!" Qing Dan trembled, a white mist rose, revealing the figure of Qing Long Dao Ren. "That day, if it wasn't for Zhao Gongming, even with a hundred lives, you wouldn't be my match!"

  "You... how did you not die!" Zhao Gongming, with his cultivation, would never harm himself. Zhang Emperor Xin knew that this person must have a secret method and retreated while saying, "If you kill me, how will you deceive Emei's Zhao Da Zhenren? I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to protect yourself!"

  "Haha... Ghost Valley, you dare to deceive me!" Qinglong Daoist laughed loudly, pointing at the Spirit Spring, "This place has a rich spiritual energy, it will definitely help me break through the True Immortal realm. If I get your treasure and add it to my master's, even if it's Zhao Gongming or Burning Lamp Master, they'll have to look up to me! What danger to life could there be?"

  As soon as Qinglong Daoist finished speaking, he raised a green bead in his hand and threw it straight at Zhang Emperor Xin: "You damned little beast, don't dare to speak more, today is your day of death!"

  Zhang Di Xin had already prepared his lines, but before he could say them, a green light flashed over, and without hesitation, he raised the Tiger Soul in front of his chest and walked away.

  Bi Zhu struck the tiger's soul, and it was a "Dang" sound. Zhang Emperor Xin's body shape exploded backwards, like a meteorite, breaking through the rocks, being beaten out of several feet. Qing Long Dao Ren raised an eyebrow: "If this treasure is on your body, wouldn't it be a pity? This immortal has good fortune and happened to meet this treasure!"

  You're a lucky devil, Hong Fu! Zhang Di Xin cursed in his heart, ignoring the pain all over his body, and turned to leave. Qing Long Dao Ren was unwilling to give up and hurriedly chased after him.

  Zhang Di Xin saw him chasing after, the golden brick fell into his hand, and with a fierce swing, Qing Long Dao Ren saw a golden light rushing towards him, already too late to dodge. He calmed his mind, and a brilliant blue light burst forth from the top of his head, propelling his entire body forward like a bullet, hugging the ground as he moved.

  The Qinglong Daoist was fast, but the green light touched the golden brick and it was a "pa" sound, turning into powder. Zhang Emperor Xing swung his hand and brought out the Nine Dragon God Fire Cover!

  The Qinglong Daoist's Qingzhu was already shattered, and he had suffered a great loss. Seeing the Nine Dragon God Fire Cover approaching, his heart tightened, and he didn't dare to stay. His body transformed into a green light and escaped swiftly.

  "Hmm... this person is indeed much stronger than Shi Qi!" Seeing Qing Long Dao Ren retreat, Zhang Emperor Xin finally let out a cold breath and was about to put away the Nine Dragon God Fire Shield when he suddenly felt an enormous pulling force coming towards him. He turned his head to look back and saw a giant blood basin with a huge mouth, fiercely sucking!

  The Azure Dragon Daoist, although named after the azure dragon, is actually an azure serpent. He was originally a green snake in the great marsh who obtained the essence of the sun and moon, cultivated for a hundred years to become a spirit, and then another five hundred years later, encountered a great opportunity, only then did he cultivate the body of a serpent. The azure pearl was his spiritual core, also serving as a precious treasure.

  The Qinglong Daoist wanted to make further progress in his cultivation, but he couldn't leave the Qingzhu behind. Zhang Emperor's golden brick struck him with a single blow, shattering the green light and ending his path of refinement!

  If it weren't for a great opportunity, I'm afraid the cultivation would not have made any progress. For cultivators, it's no different from a disaster that destroys everything. Qinglong Daoist was extremely angry and said to Zhang Emperor Xin: "You little brat, you ruined my Great Way, how could I let you off!"

  Qinglong Daoist swallowed Zhang Emperor Xin, not far away, sat cross-legged on the spot, silently operating his Xuan Gong, wanting to quickly retrieve Emperor Xin and that divine object Hu Pu.

  Time slipped away, and Zhang Di Xin finally managed to open his eyes with great effort. However, he felt the surroundings were icy cold and piercing to the bone. The walls around him were a deep crimson color, and a thick, dark green liquid flowed down from the top of the walls. With each breath, he could smell the pungent and unbearable stench, which made his head spin with nausea.

  Where is this? Zhang Emperor Xin suddenly remembered what he had seen before and shivered, could it be in the belly of Qinglong Dao Ren?!

  Zhang Di Xin took a step forward, but suddenly felt pain in his feet. He looked down and saw that the soles of his shoes had been corroded away by the white smoke swirling around his feet. This was the effect of the dark green substance, which had such a strong corrosive power that if he didn't leave soon, he might never be able to leave again!

  Guarding all sides, Zhang Emperor Xin was unable to make a move. The four walls were far away from him, and climbing up was even more difficult. The air in the room was thin, and since he woke up, it had been getting scarcer and scarcer. In about the time it took to burn an incense stick, there would be a lack of oxygen.

  Zhang Di Xin didn't have time to bother with all that, so he simply took out the Huo Po and, without moving it, used the blade to dig a hole behind him. Meanwhile, Qing Long Dao Ren, who was outside meditating, suddenly felt a severe abdominal pain, as if his abdomen had been split open, and broke out in a cold sweat!

  Qinglong Daoist knew that Zhang Emperor Xin was stirring up trouble, so he forcibly calmed his mind and recited incantations. In an instant, Zhang Emperor Xin felt the space around him shrinking, with only a small skylight left above his head. The stench from above grew thicker, and in a daze, a green liquid waterfall poured down from the sky!

  Zhang Di Xin took out a gold brick and placed it on his head, but he felt the weight of his body increasing, and there was also a splashing green liquid that burned onto his clothes, wherever it landed, it pierced through, and the heat was unbearable!

  If that's the case, he would be doomed sooner or later. Zhang Emperor Xin was greatly shocked in his heart, but there was no way out. The tiger's aura was powerful, but it could only be displayed for a moment or two, like Kong Xuan summoning the war tiger, and he himself had not yet reached that level of cultivation.

  Before long, Zhang Di Xin only felt his strength slipping away, the golden bricks on top also couldn't withstand the corrosion and returned to their original form. The green liquid then poured down like a waterfall.

  As soon as he touched the green liquid, Zhang Emperor Xin's clothes were instantly riddled with holes of various sizes, and his originally magnificent robe was suddenly reduced to tatters!

  "Guiguzi! You won't die! Hahaha..." The Qinglong Daoist laughed loudly outside, while Zhang Emperor Xin was even more distressed inside. Looking at the green liquid rising slowly on one side, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He thought it was a blessed land, but unexpectedly it was a burial ground, and his life was over...

  Qinglong Daoist saw the abdominal pain gradually disappear, Xinzong Emperor finally died, and he finally let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to walk away, he suddenly felt bloated in his abdomen, and a fiery heat spread from his stomach!

  What's going on! Qing Long Dao Ren was shocked, wanting to use his internal energy to suppress it, but found that the energy in his abdomen was getting more and more swollen, and the heat wave was also getting heavier.

  The body of the Qinglong Dao person seems to be melting away, with a bright red complexion all over, gradually becoming ferocious and sinister. It's as if they're standing in a sea of flames, with a huge fireball inside their body, moving freely!

  "Ghost Valley Daoist, spare my life!" Qing Long Daoist only then realized he had swallowed a disaster and opened his mouth to shout loudly. Zhang Emperor Xin was already dizzy and unconscious at this point, completely unaware of what was happening, let alone able to respond. Even if he were awake, he certainly wouldn't have spared this person!

  In an instant, the flames surged, a stream of fire spewed out from his eyes, and then his entire body was engulfed in flames. Qing Long Dao Ren didn't even have time to let out a cry before he turned into a pile of flying ash, vanishing without a trace!

  Qing Long Dao Ren would have died without knowing why he was dead, but after swallowing a small amount of Xiuzhen, how could it be like this?

  On this side, Qinglong Dao Ren disappeared, and Zhang Emperor Xin's body appeared in the water cave, his whole body surrounded by a blue flame that suddenly went out, transformed into a small blue fire, slowly sinking into his eyebrows...

  "Have you found His Majesty?" Huang Feihu rushed to ask as soon as Jiang Wenhuan returned to the big tent of Yunmeng Mountain.

  Jiang Wenhuan listened, but only shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty has been gone for three days, and the Cloud Dream Mountain is treacherous. It's been many days since we last saw him, I'm afraid..."

  "Shut up! You scoundrel!" Huang Feihu, though rebuked by the words, was also anxious in his heart. The Emperor had encountered trouble in this Yunmeng Mountain, and with over 7,000 troops under his command, he couldn't afford to lose even one person. If Wen Taishi were to find out, it wouldn't just be a matter of saving his own life, but also avoiding the implication of his entire clan. "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go search!"

  "Huang... Alas, never mind, I'll go, I'll go!" Jiang Wenhuan had wanted to retort, but seeing Huang Feihu's urgency, he too swallowed his words and walked out with his head lowered, "I hope nothing happens to Your Majesty..."

  "Huh...... am I dead?" Zhang Di Xin only felt as if he had a long dream, his whole body was exhausted, this time when he opened his eyes, but he didn't know how much time had passed.

  Zhang Di Xin struggled to get up, saw that the stone milk around him had dried up, and the place where he was, was even more destroyed, with stone pillars shattered, and the wet and slippery ground, was actually scraped flat.

  I don't know where Qinglong Daoist went, Zhang Emperor shook his head and felt hungry, so he slowly leaned against the spring, scooped up a handful of water, and put it in his mouth.

  "Hmm... refreshing...... huh!" After quenching his thirst, Zhang Emperor Xin felt exceptionally clear-headed and refreshed. His spirit and heart were in harmony, and he had a strong sense of renewal, as if he had been rejuvenated. "Could it be that my cultivation has made great progress again?"

  Zhang Di Xin looked down and found that the infant in his Dantian had merged with the green lotus under his seat, it was a rare unity, already reaching the stage of integration!

  Merging upwards is the position of an immortal, if one can cross the calamity, they can live forever. Zhang Emperor's heart was filled with great joy, this time although encountering danger and evil, ultimately it was a blessing in disguise.

  After resting for a while, Zhang Emperor Xin felt refreshed and knew he had been out for a long time, fearing that the crowd would be worried, so he took out the jade bottle, gathered a lot of spiritual spring water, and hurried outside.

  He reached the entrance of the cave, and Zhang Emperor Xin saw the waterfall cascading down like pearls and a curtain. His heart was filled with even more joy for this place, so he took out his tiger seal and carved on it the three characters "Water Immortal Cave". From then on, this place became an immortal mansion. According to the spiritual energy of this land, if one cultivates here, they will surely achieve twice the results with half the effort.

  "Your Majesty!"

  "Long live Your Majesty!"

  Zhang Di Xin had just exited the cave when he heard people shouting, and only then did he remember that in the Water Immortal Cave, there was a waterfall blocking the way, so naturally he couldn't hear any sounds. He thought that Huang Fei Hu and Jiang Wen Huan must have been searching for him for some time, but didn't respond, and directly rushed to the camp.

  "What are you back for? Hurry up and go find him!" Huang Feihu heard the door being pushed open and thought Jiang Wenhuan had returned, so he scolded, "You unfilial son, how can I explain to you, if His Majesty is in danger, we won't have our lives intact!"

  "If I were to die, how many people would be delighted? I am starving, hurry up and bring wine and food!" Zhang Emperor Xin said while walking, sitting on the table with his sword drawn.
