Mysterious mirror hanging high

Chapter 693 The Moon is a Mirror

A hidden wave swept across the mountains, and the branches and leaves of the trees in the mountains suddenly fell down. A figure appeared beside a pool in the woods. It was Qi Liyan, the True Lord of Zhongyue.

At this moment, a word "Hidden" was flashing on Qi Liyan's forehead, and its original ink-black color gradually faded until it disappeared.

"Wow!"

Qi Liyan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which dripped into the pool, and a pool of blood spread out in the water.

He had already been seriously injured by Ying Shigui just now, and he used all his strength to drive the escape light, which affected the injuries in his body again. Now his breath is extremely weak, and he doesn't know if he still has even 30% of his magical powers.

"Damn it..." Qi Liyan's face turned grim. "This place was originally a Nascent Soul Trial Cave Heaven, where the Divine Transformation was forbidden. If the Divine Transformation didn't come out, I should have been absolutely safe with the many calligraphy treasures bestowed upon me by the Supreme. I never thought I would fall into the trap of the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty."

"I wonder how Junior Brother Yang and Junior Sister Xiao are doing. Did they manage to escape?"

"Senior Brother Qi!"

Just as his thoughts were wandering, Qi Liyan suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. He turned around and saw that it was Yang Dingfeng wearing a sable fur coat.

"Junior brother, you are out of danger too?" Qi Liyan said happily.

"Well, Senior Brother, if you can summon the [Five Immortals Diagram], even though that old man is a [Fake Divine Transformation Cultivator], he's not a true Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarch after all. I should be able to hold him back for a while, and I'll naturally be free."

Yang Dingfeng said with concern: "Brother Qi, your injury cannot be delayed any longer. I will treat you."

"Thank you, junior brother." He had known Yang Dingfeng for many years and knew that this Master Qi was devoted to the righteous path of Penglai and would never do anything detrimental to Songfeng Pavilion. Therefore, he did not suspect him and relaxed his mind, allowing Yang Dingfeng to heal his injuries.

But as soon as Yang Dingfeng's palm pressed on Qi Liyan's back, he felt an extremely sinister magic power being transferred into his meridians, and most of his physical body was instantly necrotic!

"you!"

A Nascent Soul Dharma image emerged from the back of Qi Liyan's Dharma body, turned around and cast a spell, instantly cutting off the head of Yang Dingfeng behind him.

But at this time, dense green and strange poison appeared on the surface of Qi Liyan's Nascent Soul, causing his Nascent Soul to gradually become stiff and necrotic.

Yang Dingfeng, whose head had just been chopped off, suddenly stood up, picked up the head that had fallen on the ground, slowly put it back on his neck, adjusted the direction, and then spoke:

"Brother Qi, I'm sorry."

"It's...it's a puppet." Qi Liyan said with difficulty, "Have you mastered the [Puppet Law]? Otherwise, I wouldn't have missed the clues."

"That's right." The puppet that resembled Yang Dingfeng made a dull, mechanical sound. "It's more than just a puppet. Junior Brother, I have also set up a [Jiedi Heavenly Formation] here in advance. No information can get out. Senior Brother, don't waste your energy."

"Oh, by the way, there's also a replacement talisman. It was originally intended to prevent the Supreme from setting any secret method on you that could track down the murderer... but now it seems unnecessary."

"That's right. Senior Brother's cultivation has now reached the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul stage. Anyone who can kill you is at the Spiritualization stage. Why would you need any tracking techniques? If Senior Brother really dies in this world, the Supreme One can guess who did it with just a snap of his fingers."

"Why...why? When did I offend my junior brother?" Qi Liyan's voice was trembling, obviously because of the strange poison attacking his heart.

Yang Dingfeng sighed, "Brother, you are very good, you are really very good! If you were the Supreme, and the Supreme is the master of Zhongyue Peak, Dingfeng would never do this to harm his fellow disciples today."

"It's a pity you're not..."

"Qi Tianhua is overly concerned with the distinction between surnames. Songfeng Pavilion is not the Qi family's Songfeng Pavilion... Senior Brother Qi, have you forgotten that Songfeng Pavilion is a sect, not the Qi family's immortal clan? If you don't die, I won't have the chance to become a god."

“So… So it’s for the path to becoming a god… Hehe… Hehe…”

Yang Dingfeng's expression suddenly turned ferocious. "Brother, you don't understand, you still don't understand! If I were just pursuing a path to Divine Transformation, why would I still be wasting my time in the righteous path of Penglai? Could it be that the status of the Heavenly Court's Chief Strategist is so much lower than that of the Xiyue Peak Master?"

"I originally wanted to turn my heart to the bright moon, but..."

Yang Dingfeng laughed bitterly and said, "Qi Tianhua doesn't believe me, Xiao Beiyue doesn't believe me, and in the end, you don't believe me either! I really don't understand what I have to do to make you believe that I have no second thoughts about the righteous path of Penglai? Is it because I was born a spy from the demonic sect that you think I've been betraying my whole life?"

"Xiao Guanying has reached the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm."

"Over the years, our collaboration with Tianminglou has slowed down Xiao Guanying's comprehension of the laws, but we've actually discovered they had a plan in mind. In fact, they've helped him forge an unprecedented new path amidst the global suppression."

Yang Dingfeng's expression calmed down. "Brother Qi, when I saw Xiao Guanying, who was in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, in front of the gate of Weiyang Heaven, I knew I couldn't delay any longer..."

"I must become a god as soon as possible to be qualified to face him head-on."

"Songfeng Pavilion needs to change, and the Penglai righteous path needs to change even more. We don't have time."

"You said that after you become a god, you will change the existing system of Songfeng Pavilion... Maybe you really will, but I dare not bet on it."

"Perhaps you will change your mind after you become a god. Songfeng Pavilion will still be dominated by the Qi family."

"Perhaps you insist on your current ideas, but at that time you were only in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, while Qi Tianhua was in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and was also the ancestor of your Qi family. Do you really have enough say to turn the situation around?"

"The Immortal Eyes of Songfeng Pavilion only have three spots available for the Divine Transformation Stage... If you count you, that takes up two. I'm afraid I won't even get the chance to reach the last one."

Yang Dingfeng spoke each word with great emphasis: "Brother Qi, I dare not put my fate in the hands of others."

"So you have to die."

Qi Liyan's entire Nascent Soul had turned a shocking green. He spoke with difficulty:

"But you only reached the late Nascent Soul stage after taking the [Burning Blood Transformation Pill], prematurely overdrawing your potential... Moreover, you were already infected with the cold poison, and your foundation was damaged... Even if you killed me, you wouldn't be able to achieve Divine Transformation."

"Who said I can't become a god?"

Yang Dingfeng sneered and said, "Brother, I have actually already obtained a unique skill that can reverse the cold poison in my body and even reverse the damage to my foundation."

"After reaching the late Nascent Soul stage, I used this extraordinary skill to successfully enter the [Law of Disease] and [Law of Poison]."

"The more severe the fire and cold poisons in my body, the more they will stimulate my potential in the immortal path... These injuries and strange poisons will no longer damage my foundation. Instead, they will become an aid in continuing my path."

"As long as I don't manifest the laws on a daily basis, even the Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarch will only regard me as a consumable material with exhausted potential."

"The poison in your body...is only so potent because of the [Law of Poison]. Otherwise, even if you were seriously injured and dying, how many other poisons in the world could have killed a Great True Lord so quickly?"
