Chapter 39: The Ghostly Maiden Enters the Island, Above Changyang Mountain

  After the Jiuli rebellion was pacified, the four Dragon Kings came forward together and said to Xuanyuan Huangdi: "Now that Chiyou has been sealed by Your Majesty, we should also return to the Four Seas. We bid farewell!"

  Xuanyuan Huangdi slightly bowed and said, "I must thank all the Taoist friends for their help. If it weren't for the Four Seas Dragon Clan today, this battle would have been a costly victory. I promise that in the future, my people will also offer incense to the dragon clan!"

  The Four Seas Dragon King was overjoyed! This helped the Human Emperor gain some merit, but the four dragons were not concerned about it. After all, with the current prosperity of the four seas' energy, they didn't care about earning more merit. They had come only because they had received orders from Hongyuan and couldn't disobey. Unexpectedly, they had obtained a promise from Xuanyuan Huangdi that in the future, humans would worship dragons, and incense would be offered continuously. This was completely different from before! It must be known that humans were the main characters destined by heaven, so to receive human worship was no ordinary merit or Dao fruit.

  The four dragon kings said in unison: "Thank you, Human Emperor!" They then bid farewell to everyone one by one and with a loud whoosh, the myriad golden dragons rode the clouds and drove the mist, disappearing instantly.

  With the Four Seas Dragon Clan gone, Huangdi's gaze fell upon the remaining Jiuli warriors. At this time, the Jiuli warriors' eyes had lost their bloodlust and were looking around in confusion, unsure of what to do. Huangdi sighed and instructed Forceful Shepherd: "General, it seems that these Jiuli warriors have been controlled by Chiyou's evil magic and have lost their minds. Now that Chiyou has been sealed away, their minds are clear once more. Go gather the Jiuli tribe!"

  Li Mu saluted with a military salute and responded with a "yes", then led his men to gather the Jiuli tribe warriors.

  Xuanyuan Huangdi gazed out at the battlefield stained red with blood, a pang of sorrow in his heart. The human race had endured too much! Too much!

  The great army marched in the direction of the Jiuli tribe, continuously recovering lost land. After three months, they finally arrived at the Jiuli tribe's territory, but scouts reported that the Jiuli tribe had already disappeared without a trace, apparently aware of the Youxiong tribe's defeat of the Jiuli tribe and having migrated before Huangdi and others arrived.

  The immortals all snapped their fingers and calculated, only to see that the heavenly machine was clear. The Jiuli tribe had split into two tribes, one going north and one going south. Now they are thousands of miles apart, and the army cannot catch up with them!

  Xuanyuan Huangdi waved his hand and said, "Forget it! The Jiuli tribe has been defeated, the remaining ones are no longer able to cause trouble, let them go with you!"

  Xuanyuan Huangdi was about to withdraw his troops and return to the Chen capital when Youchao said to him, "Xuanyuan, now that Chiyou has been defeated and the human tribes are at peace, we should also return to Fangzhu Island. Let Gun follow us, I'm sure the Holy Father will have a great plan to help Gun!"

  Huangdi was taken aback at first, then overjoyed and bowed to say: "Xuanyuan thanks the two ancestors for their kindness!" He immediately turned to his son behind him and warned: "My son is fortunate enough to see the Holy Father, don't be rude!"

  "The young prince nodded and said: 'Your son understands, Your Majesty can rest at ease!'"

  The Fire Emperor smiled and said to the little girl next to the Charred Child, "Little one, we are going back to Fangzhang Island, do you still want to stay in the human world and play?"

  The girl smiled and said: "I have already completed the teacher's mission, of course I want to go back!"

  Xuanyuan Huangdi bowed his head and said, "I should thank you for your kindness, Princess!"

  The girl smiled and said nothing, but instead pulled the boy to drive the cloud to fly towards Fangzhang Island in the East China Sea, and instantly arrived thousands of miles away. The crowd heard a voice coming from afar: "The girl and the boy have gone ahead, two old ancestors are slow!" As soon as the sound stopped, the person had already reached the edge of the East China Sea, and the crowd could no longer see them!

  You Chui and Sui Ren shook their heads helplessly, this girl came down to temper herself for a while, but she was still so mischievous! Then they bowed to the crowd and bid farewell.

  On the Fangzhang Island in the East Sea, Hongyuan was sitting high on a cloud bed at this moment. At this time, he had a celebratory cloud of about one mu (a unit of area) on his head, which was as clear as water. On top of the celebratory cloud were three floating flowers, and on top of the three flowers was the Hunyuan Pearl, which was moving in some mysterious and unpredictable orbit. The Hunyuan Pearl was surrounded by the twelve flags of the Doutu Heavenly God. At this moment, Hongyuan's whole body emitted a vague and unclear aura, as if it were there but also not there. Looking closely, nothing could be seen, making it difficult to discern his true appearance!

  Hong Xuan suddenly let out a soft sigh, put away the three flowers, and thought to himself: The Twelve Heavenly Gods' Great Formation is indeed extraordinary. I'm afraid only Tongtian Shixiong's Exterminating Immortal Formation and Laojun Shixiong's Two Principles Microcosm Formation can compare to it. Even the Zhou Tian Star Big Dipper Formation and the Bodhi Great Formation are slightly inferior. From now on, the Xuan Qing sect has this great formation to rely on, which also makes him feel more at ease. Although his cultivation is the highest among all the saints, he doesn't fear them, but rather has more means at his disposal - who wouldn't want that? Even if not for personal gain, he should consider the interests of his disciples.

  A burst of laughter echoed from afar, and Hong Xuan smiled slightly. A moment later, only the girl and the demon child appeared together. The girl rushed to Hong Xuan's face, bowed to him and said: "Girl pays respects to her teacher, may her teacher live forever!"

  Gongsun Gongzi saw Hongyuan and hastily bowed down to the ground, respectfully paying his respects. "Gongsun Gongzi pays homage to the Holy Father, may the Holy Father's lifespan be boundless!"

  Hong Xuan chuckled and smiled, brushing off his Taoist robe, helping the two up. He nodded with a smile and said in a gentle voice: "No need for more courtesy! Girl, you stand aside for now, let me save Xiao Tong first, then I'll deal with you!"

  The girl nodded and retreated to one side, watching Hong Xuan cast his spell.

  Hong Xuan glanced at the Charred Child and said, "I already know your situation. You were born on a yin year, yin day, and yin hour, so you have innate yin energy in your body. However, you are also a fire-type person, which means that your yin and yang energies clash and cannot be harmonized. As time passes, this has led to the situation you face today, where every day you suffer from both scorching heat and freezing cold."

  The little ghost heard this and hastily knocked his head to the ground, saying: "Holy Father, have mercy! I beg of you to save me!"

  Hong Xuan smiled slightly and said, "You are the daughter of Gong Sun Xuan Yuan. Gong Sun Xuan Yuan has made great contributions to humanity, so I should take you in willingly, no need for this! However, there is still a bit of suffering ahead, you must endure it!"

  "Having experienced countless hardships and bitterness, what's the difference with this? Father, please make your move, I can endure it!"

  Hong Xuan nodded, and then fell silent. He stretched out his right hand, pointing with his index finger, and a stream of clear energy shot onto the body of Gui Er. Gui Er let out a pained cry, falling to the ground and rolling about in agony. The young woman couldn't bear it, and was just about to step forward to plead for mercy when she saw Hong Xuan spit out another stream of clear energy that covered Gui Er's body. In an instant, the pained cries ceased. Two streams of energy emerged from Gui Er's body - one hot, one cold. The two energies gradually merged under the enveloping clear energy, slowly forming a Taiji diagram that rotated ceaselessly! The Taiji diagram instantly sank into Gui Er's body. Suddenly, Gui Er's pale face turned rosy, and the two sharp fangs at the corners of her mouth retracted and became flat, restoring their original appearance!

  Hong Xuan nodded in satisfaction: "Zhu'er, the fire and yin energy inside you were not truly balanced before. Now that I have regulated the two energies, you will no longer suffer from pain and your spiritual powers will be even stronger than before!"

  Feeling the ease and comfort in his body, Tongzi was overjoyed and quickly got up to bow to Hongyuan: "Tongzi thanks the Holy Father for his kindness!"

  Hong Xuan nodded and smiled at the girl, saying: "Girl, did you gain something from this trip down the mountain?"

  The girl's pretty face turned away, saying: "Disciple reports to teacher, but there is no great gain, just playing with all one's might!"

  Hong Xuan helplessly shook his head, knowing that this girl was still blaming him for deceiving her into leaving the mountain that day.

  He instructed the girl: "Qiong'er has just arrived and is not familiar with Fangzhang Island. You take her out to play for a while, I have something to do and will go out first. When I come back, I'll teach Qiong'er the Xuanqing Great Way!

  The girl heard the words and hastily replied, "Disciple obeys!" Although she sometimes loved to play and cause trouble, she also knew how to grasp the situation, and when Hongyuan gave orders like this, she didn't dare to be even slightly slow or disobedient!

  The mountain named Changyang is located in the northwest of Jambudvipa, adjacent to Mount Huayang. The terrain of Changyang Mountain is majestic and steep, with clouds and mist locked in all year round, without any animal tracks. It is a desolate mountain where humans do not reach, animals do not come, immortals do not arrive, and gods do not descend.

  On this day, a shocking sound of clashing blades suddenly burst out from Changyang Mountain. The spiritual energy around Changyang Mountain was in chaos, and a powerful pressure spread from within the mountain, causing the air to tremble!

  A loud shout came from within the mountain: "Gongsun Xuan, you dare to seal Chiyou in the Five Peaks? I, Xingtian, will not let this go unpunished!" It turned out to be the Great Shaman Xingtian, who had been guarding the Zuwu Temple.

  Yan Nei, Gong Sun Xuan Yuan coldly gazed at Xing Tian not far away and said: "Chi You disrespects the heavenly numbers, presumptuously attempting to usurp my human tribe's orthodoxy, it is reasonable that he should have this calamity!"

  It turned out that Feng Bo and others returned to the Zu Wu Temple after passing on the information to Xing Tian. Xing Tian was angry about Huang Di's sealing of Chi You, so he left the temple alone and came to the You Xiong tribe to challenge Huang Di to a fight. At this time, Huang Di had already obtained the Great Luo Golden Immortal Tao fruit and possessed two great treasures. Although he had heard that Xing Tian was fierce and brave, he was not afraid of him. Therefore, the two men engaged in a fierce battle, chasing and fighting each other until they arrived at Changyang Mountain!

  Huang Di was shocked in his heart, he had not expected Xing Tian to be so brave and valiant, and yet with the halberd in his hand, he fought against him for a long time without showing any signs of defeat, it can be seen that the rumors are true!

  A giant seal emitting the aura of a true dragon suddenly appeared above Xingtian's head, with the two characters "崆峒" floating in mid-air. The seal struck Xingtian on the head, sending him stumbling backward. Before he could react, a sword silently swept across his neck, and a stream of blood shot out. His head rolled far away!

  Huangdi Xuanyuan gasped slightly, the sword just now was one that he had used up all his magical powers on, although it beheaded Xingtian, it also left him extremely exhausted.

  A burst of terrifying aura suddenly exploded from the lost head, piercing through the mountain mist and breaking through the sky! Huangdi was greatly shocked, staring blankly at the corpse for only an instant before recovering. Even Chi You had not been killed by him, so it was natural that Xingtian would not die either.

  Only to see the flesh and blood with milk as eyes, one squeeze for mouth, fierce whistle continuously, waving the dry stick in hand towards Xuanyuan Huangdi to kill, Xuanyuan Huangdi just about to go forward again to behead him, but saw a sudden burst of light falling on Changyang Mountain, a loud noise, the mountain body split into two halves, Xingtian's flesh and head all fell inside, the mountain body merged again, without a trace of cracks, as if it had never been broken!

  Huangdi was greatly shocked! He hastily raised his head to look, and saw that in the high sky above, a seven-colored auspicious cloud was floating slowly. On the cloud stood a person about sixteen years old, with a clear and elegant face, holding a purple bamboo staff. It was none other than Pangu Xuanqing Shengren Hongyuan.

  Even if: The head is cut off and blood flows, but the body does not die, the spirit of the gods dances, and the will remains!
