Chapter 342: Conquer Ziyun Palace and form an alliance with Tongye Island

There are only a few kittens in Ziyun Palace, so there is no need for Cao Jie to do it himself.

Zhang Shun, together with a group of vicious demons from Liangshan, attacked the unscrupulous Ziyun Palace.

Even though the Purple Cloud Palace was well guarded, there were still many loopholes. Moreover, Zhang Shun had already infiltrated the palace and won over several of his confidants.

No matter how strong a fortress is, if problems arise within it, it is only a matter of time before it is breached.

In an eye of the sea in the East China Sea, Yu Ding was floating up and down in the whirlpool.

Cao Jie then sat cross-legged in the water eye and used the Yu Ding to refine a trace of Tianyi True Water from the vast ocean.

Tianyi True Water is famous for its majestic beauty, and it has no other attributes. Unlike Beiming True Water, which is extremely cold, Taiyin True Water, which is extremely yin, Merit Pure Water, which contains the faith of all living beings, and Tianhe Weak Water, which cannot be crossed by humans...

Lao Tzu said: The highest good is like water!

Even though Tianyi True Water has no attached power, its majestic power is the most powerful power. For example, the divine mud that seals the Nanming Lihuo Sword cannot be broken by anyone in the entire Emei, and only the gourd of Tianyi True Water hidden in the Ziyun Palace can dissolve it.

All things are interdependent and mutually exclusive, and Tianyi True Water is the nemesis of many fire-related magical powers and magic weapons.

Once this water is refined, it has endless uses.

Combined with Yu Ding, its power is doubled.

On this day, Zhang Shun, the "White Shark in the Waves", came to pay a visit.

Ziyun Palace was conquered and its owner changed.

The Liangshan heroes eliminated the Ziyun Palace that was entrenched in the neighboring country of the Mermaids, killed Sanfeng and Dongxiu who actively attacked the Wei Dynasty, and wiped out a group of evil demons that depended on the Ziyun Palace.

There are only a handful of people left in the huge Ziyun Palace.

After reading the battle report, Cao Jie immediately followed Zhang Shun and fled towards the Ziyun Palace.

After all, the Ziyun Palace is the cave where Tianyi Jinmu lived before she ascended to heaven. It contains many hidden restrictions and treasures, so we must not be careless.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

At the entrance of the Shensha Tunnel, the generals and soldiers of the Wei Dynasty stood on both sides, with Li Jun standing in the front like a mountain.

"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!"

"For the Great Wei, for Your Majesty, I will never regret even if I die!"

"How is Ziyun Palace now?"

Li Jun, who had already cultivated into a true dragon, immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, some small restrictions in Ziyun Palace have been opened, and we have gained a lot of spoils, but there are several very strong restrictions. We are not good at this, so we are still slowly refining them!"

"Yeah! I'll go take a look."

Cao Jie nodded and walked into the Shensha Corridor.

The 3,000-mile divine sand passage formation that protects the palace was created by Chu Feng using the magic recorded in the magic book hidden by Patriarch Lianshan and the "Golden Chapter of the Earth Palace" left by the Golden Mother. The divine sand was refined using the fine iron, coral, gold and jade from the bottom of the sea for thousands of years, and the 3,000-mile divine sand passage was built. Countless magical prohibitions were set up, connecting to the sea eye to form a large formation, which was continuously supplemented by the three women of Ziyun Palace to eliminate any loopholes. It is extremely powerful.

Ordinary cultivators who entered would be strangled by the restrictions of the formation, and their invisible divine sands would dissipate and turn them into ashes in an instant.

Although the formation is powerful, it cannot withstand the presence of traitors.

Besides, the Liangshan heroes were extremely strong physically, with many of them equipped with magical weapons for attacking cities and strongholds, and they were also protected by the luck of the Divine Dynasty, so it was not too difficult for them to capture the Ziyun Palace.

Walking into it, one can find that the forty-nine formation diagrams in the Shensha Corridor are all of the side door level. Although they are extremely powerful, they are not in line with the principles of heaven and earth. They are much worse than the formation that Cao Jie had imagined in his mind.

The materials used to refine the Invisible Divine Sand are just ordinary, and the spell restrictions are also average. The Invisible Divine Sand is very powerful for people from side sects, and even for young people from the righteous sects, but it will be completely suppressed against real powerful people, such as Cao Jie who has mastered the magical power of "Returning the Wind and Returning the Fire".

Ziyun Palace is the Dique Fairy Palace, the former residence of Tianyi Jinmu, and the villa of Master Lianshan. This Shensha Corridor is just a shortcut in and out of the palace made by Chu Feng using magic for convenience.

The real Ziyun Palace is covered by a sea eye outside and has restrictions of Tianyi Jinmu inside.

The Golden Mother of Heaven was a golden immortal who had attained the Tao. The cave she left behind in this "Shushan" world has enough defense to rank among the top five, and it is impossible for outsiders to invade.

Chu Feng was courting death by opening up such a corridor in the intact Dique Fairy Palace, which only opened the door for the enemy.

If there were no such corridor, it would take an unknown amount of time for the Wei Dynasty to invade the Ziyun Palace.

When it comes to self-destruction and suffering the consequences of one's own actions, these three phoenixes in the Shushan world can be ranked at the top.

Inside Ziyun Palace, the stolen magic weapons were lined up in a row.

Refining Hardness and Softness, Trouble Circle, Soul-Stirring Mirror, Qingning Fan, Xuanguang Ruler...

They are all extremely superior magic weapons obtained from the treasure house of Nalian Mountain.

Cao Jie shook his head. It was really a waste of the five hundred years of good fortune of the Three Phoenixes of Ziyun Palace and the many magic weapons of Yueer Island of Master Lianshan.

Under Li Jun's guidance, Cao Jie walked to the golden courtyard of Ziyun Palace.

Those jade pillars were all ablaze with rays of light and auspicious colors. However, they had been jointly refined by Gongsun Sheng, Bai Suzhen and others for many days, and the light on the pillars had faded from its peak.

Cao Jie walked around the pillar twice, circulated his magic power, and injected the purest and most yang true qi into the jade pillar in the courtyard.

The pure yang magic power that Huangdi used to control three thousand women is the purest righteous method.

Even Gongsun Sheng's level of Taoism is far inferior to this.

After a while, it was seen that although the brilliance of those jade pillars had faded, each one was still thick, clear and bright, like crystal. It was truly magnificent and solemn, with unparalleled beauty.

But the sound of wind and thunder underground was getting louder and louder, and then there was the sound of metal clashing, and the main pillar suddenly started to turn. Gongsun Sheng immediately used his magical powers to prevent the treasure at the bottom of the pillar from flying away.

Seeing the main pillar spinning faster and faster, the jade pillars around it also started spinning. Li Jun transformed into a dragon and wrapped himself around the jade pillars, shouting, "Stop!"

The jade pillar immediately stopped rotating, and the sounds of wind, thunder, and metal all stopped.

The four dragon claws held the lower end of the main pillar and lifted it up, and shouted again: "Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"

Possessed by the power of the dragon!

The pillar then slowly rose up along with the dragon's claws, and was gradually lifted about three feet off the ground. A deep hole appeared at the base of the pillar, filled with colorful mist and a strange fragrance.

Then, Zhang Shun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng and others also displayed their great dragon magical powers and exerted tremendous strength to hold up the jade pillar. They saw that there was a spherical cave underneath, which was extremely hot.

On the coral table in the middle, there was a round jade box that was shiny and transparent. In front of the box, a plate of incense sticks as thin as silk was burning, and the smoke filled the cave with mist and turned into colorful fog.

There are more than ten strange-shaped magic weapons hanging on the walls.

The moment the treasure house was opened, Cao Jie had already taken action.

But the incense burned very quickly, and after taking out a few treasures, most of them were burned in the blink of an eye. Cao Jie knew that once the incense burned out, the underground cave would close.

This is the true location of the earth's center. If you are buried there, it will take some effort to see the light of day again.

Fortunately, Cao Jie was very skilled. He took all the magic weapons he saw and looked around to make sure nothing was missed. As soon as he came out of the cave, he heard a slight sound at the bottom of the cave, and the earth's crust had closed.

In the past, Tianyi Jinmu used her great magical power to turn this place into a place to hide treasures. When she ascended to heaven, she silently calculated the future and placed a plate of water incense in the cave. This incense burns very slowly in the cave, and once it encounters wind, it can burn out in an instant. Once this incense is extinguished, the cave will close automatically, and the true fire in the earth's core will immediately ignite, and those who are not strong enough will all turn into ashes.

This main pillar was not an ordinary thing either. It was a treasure that Dayu used to suppress the sea. It was moved here by the Golden Mother to suppress it. If this pillar broke, not only would the entire Purple Cloud Palace be destroyed, but the sea within a thousand miles would also become boiling water, causing endless disasters.

Without moving the main pillar rashly, Cao Jie glanced at the rows of secondary jade pillars and stretched out his hand to break their restrictions.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up. The jade pillar in the courtyard was still crystal clear and translucent. The treasures inside were shining brightly. The crystalline light and precious aura reflected the flowing brilliance, which made the golden courtyard and green threshold even more spectacular.

Then I saw a gourd in front of the third pillar, with seal characters written in red on it, which read "Rare treasures from the earth, holy springs from the sky".

After shaking the gourd, Cao Jie found that there were at least three hundred drops of Tianyi real water inside. He collected them with satisfaction.

With so much Taiyi True Water, even if he left the ocean and went to the land, he could still use the Yu Ding to display the vast water-based magical powers.

As for the other magic weapons and elixirs, he didn't care much and just left them to his brothers to distribute!
As for the karma with Tianyi Jinmu from now on, I will repay it slowly after I have mastered this world.

This time, the overthrow of Ziyun Palace will definitely attract the attention of the righteous and unorthodox sects, so Cao Jie decided to let go and do it in a big way.

Li Jun had been traveling around the ocean for such a long time, and with his talent, he naturally made friends with many great practitioners.

"Brother, this Tianchi Master has many disciples. Although they are from a different sect, they are not evil or nosy. But he is a little bit good at divination, and he may have calculated that his Tongye Island may have a great disaster in the future. In addition, the Emei disciples got there first and arrived before me, so... he is still waiting and watching."

"In that case, you accompany me to meet this Tianchi Master! I will convince him."

"If my brother takes action, he will definitely be able to capture this person!"

The group of people rode the water and traveled for thousands of miles. The sea ahead was surging, and countless black and white objects like hills sank and disappeared from time to time. A water arrow spurted out from the back of each of them, just like hundreds of silver dragons interweaving in the sky.

This is a group of whales playing in the sea.

"A whale has appeared. It's not far from the waters of Tongye Island..."

Following the direction of Li Jun's finger, Cao Jie looked carefully and saw the shadow of an island appear in the misty sky.

On the shore of the island, there are rows and rows of coconut trees, all of which are hundreds of feet tall. They stand upright and look like umbrellas, which is very neat.

It happened so fast that we were only a few dozen miles away from the island. The scenery ahead was becoming clearer and clearer. Suddenly, five people appeared from the coconut trees on the island. They were wearing short blue and white half-sleeves, bare-shouldered and barefoot. They had swords, spears, halberds, gourds, etc. on their backs. They looked like monks but not monks, and like Taoists but not Taoists.

These young men flew straight down into the sea, one of them stepped on the back of a big whale. The leader waved his hand, and all of them rushed forward against the waves.

At this time, five huge whales were flapping their wings and racing on the sea, causing huge waves to surge and rise like mountains, with water splashing hundreds of feet high.

"It turns out to be Senior Li Jun, the Dragon of the River! Junior Liu He is honored to meet you."

When the leading young man saw Li Jun's face, he immediately bowed.

Cao Jie pinched his hands slightly, and countless information from his past life emerged in his mind.

It turned out that this man was the eldest disciple of the island owner, Master Tianchi. He was originally the son of a Chaozhou seafarer named Liu. He lost his mother at the age of three and went sailing with his father. When they encountered a hurricane and the boat capsized, his father was desperate and had no choice but to tie him to a piece of plank, put him into the sea, and let him drift with the water.

Unexpectedly, a wave hit him on the back of a big whale.

It was also because of his predestined relationship that the whale carried him on its back and he swam for thousands of miles, always keeping his head above the sea and never sinking into the water. He swam all the way to the vicinity of Tongye Island, where he was seen by Master Tianchi and rescued to shore.

At that time, Master Tianchi had just achieved enlightenment and had no disciples. He appreciated his talent and nurtured him with spiritual fruits and elixirs, and taught him the Dao since he was a child. Although they were master and disciple, their relationship was more than that of father and son. The Master later accepted 47 disciples, but he was the most beloved among them.

At this moment, I heard the sound of a flute in the distance. It was played three times in a row, but I couldn't tell what tune it was. It sounded like the harmony of a pair of lovebirds, and the more I listened, the more wonderful it became.

"Master has come out of retreat..."

Liu He looked back at Tongye Island with a little surprise.

At this time, a majestic voice came: "My fellow Taoists, your water escape method is wonderful. I can only sense the vague energy with the power of Yuan magnetic force. Are you willing to come to the island to see it? I have prepared fine wine and delicious food. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Tongye Island together..."

"This is the Emperor of Wei, the Lord of All Laws, Cao Jie!"

Li Jun raised his voice.

"Ah! It turns out to be Emperor Cao of the Wei Dynasty. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person!"

When the flute sound stopped, the island was flashing with golden light and silver sparks were flying everywhere. A road flashing with electric light led directly to the depths of Tongye Island.

Cao Jie smiled lightly and strode away with Li Jun.

After a while, the golden light faded, the sparks stopped flying, and Cao Jie stood on an underground hall.

Hanging from the ceiling were eight emerald jade pens, each as thick as a teacup and about ten feet long. On the tip of each pen was burning a huge olive-shaped silver light, illuminating the entire room.

It is a circular stone chamber about one hundred feet in size, more than twenty feet high from top to bottom, with an area of ​​about ten acres. The walls are as bright and smooth as jade, and there are dozens of doors on the walls.

Not far from Cao Jie, there were two rows of jade stools, arranged in an eight-shaped pattern, neatly facing outward. There were no seats in the middle, only two rows of feather fans as bright as clouds, extending forward. At the end, there were two tall and large jade doors tightly closed, decorated with countless large and small jade rings, looking very solemn and magnificent.

There was nothing unusual about the eight silver flowers. Suddenly, the sound of sheng and huang was heard from the front door. The sound was clear and mesmerizing. In a blink of an eye, dozens of jade doors in all the rooms opened, and a barefoot boy in white short sleeves came in from each door.

The jade ring on the door began to clang, and the door slowly opened by itself.

Long Lizi, who followed closely a little later, looked into the door and found it very deep inside. There were fireworks, stars and all sorts of things in the place, which were all wonders that he had never seen before.

Some people walked out of the door. The first team consisted of four handsome boys, about twelve or thirteen years old, holding lanterns in their hands. Behind them were eight more boys, holding various musical instruments.

They all wore the same white lotus-shaped short dress, barefoot, and were all beautiful and of the same height. They walked slowly outside the door, blowing and beating softly, with incense curling around them. Before they got close, they could smell the strange fragrance.

Behind the twelve boys, there were eight boys holding a lotus throne, on which sat cross-legged an old man with a gaunt face and a long beard, dressed neither like a monk nor a Taoist. Surrounded by brilliant clouds, the throne was flying in the air. Behind them were another eight boys, holding bows, arrows, gourds, bamboo swords, wooden swords, hooks, forks, whips, and the like.

It can be said to be extremely luxurious, extremely ostentatious, and extremely pretentious.

However, compared with the imperial carriage, this person's pomp and circumstance seems to be a case of trying to draw a tiger but end up with a dog instead.

The old man with a long beard suddenly raised his right hand slightly, the music stopped, and the hall became silent.

The old man with a long beard bowed to Cao Jie again and said, "Emperor Cao Wei, Fellow Daoist Li Jun, and fellow Daoists, I am honored to meet you!"

"Meet Master Tianchi!"

Cao Jie returned the gift.

If someone respects me one foot, I will respect him one yard.
