Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1219 - 22: The Immortal Peach and Phoenix of Heavenly Monarch Chen
On the ninth double Chongyang Festival, on Penglai Island, what should have been a clear and sunny day suddenly turned gloomy, with clouds gathering and thunder rolling.
Countless lightning bolts struck the sea, raising thousand-layer waves.
Under Qilin Cliff, a small head poked out from Chu Jiang’s tail, taking a peek at the ominous sky outside, full of fear.
"It’s okay, the thunder isn’t looking for you."
The Chongyang Festival is naturally the time of the year when Yang energy is most intense, and combined with this rolling thunder, it’s a dual physical and mental torment for zombies.
Upon hearing Chu Jiang’s words, Xiaodie immediately withdrew her head, hiding deep within the tail.
In fact, it’s not only her; even Chu Jiang herself felt quite uncomfortable.
Senior Brother Ji Yan is undergoing a tribulation.
Of course, this is the old term, according to the current terminology, it should be called ascension.
The Demon Dharma Gate of the Righteous Path, the second ascension to Earth Immortal.
Walking the same cultivation path as Chu Jiang.
Normally, ascension should be chosen on days like the new moon or the full moon, but Ji Yan purposely chose the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, a day independent of any cycle, to face the heavenly tribulation openly at noon.
Seems like a madman.
However, the cultivation system of the Twelve Laws has its differences, and the Demon Dharma Gate is the most focused on following one’s nature in cultivation. Simply put, it’s about doing whatever makes you happy, without caring about any rules or norms.
Ji Yan’s ascension process does have some reference value for Chu Jiang, but it’s not very significant.
Because Senior Brother is taking the ancestral return path.
His true form is the Nine-headed Bird, Ghost Car, also known as the Phoenix, but is, in fact, just a descendant with a trace of Phoenix blood. He chose such a Yang-heavy day precisely to use the Yang energy between heaven and earth to temper the true Phoenix blood within him, awakening the racial divine skills of the Phoenix lineage.
Ancestral methods are not necessarily bad.
There is an unwelcoming saying that goes, "Three generations of our family have worked hard, yet it can’t compare to your ten years of study."
The words are unpleasant, but you can’t say they’re without reason. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
If Chu Jiang had such ancestral backing, she would want to rely on it too.
But unfortunately, she doesn’t have such a good bloodline, not only gaining no benefits, but in her past life, was completely consumed.
Yeah, physically consumed, leaving only a head.
At this moment, Senior Brother Ji Yan had revealed his true form as Ghost Car, with nine heads and ten necks, rainbow-colored wings, wingspan reaching hundreds of meters, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
Ten necks with nine heads.
According to ancient mythology, one head was bitten off by a dog.
As to which dog, don’t ask too much.
Lightning struck between Ghost Car’s rainbow wings, blasting him into a scaly mess, charred and smoking.
Yet Ji Yan remained silent, gritting his teeth and enduring it.
As time passed, various phenomena began to appear in the sky.
In ancient times, many fools struck by lightning would hallucinate, seeing beautiful fairy maidens holding jade nectar and divine peaches descending from the heavens to welcome them.
Only Chu Jiang, having seen such scenes, knew these were the ripples stirred by Temporal Tide.
The last time was during Xia Yubing’s ascension to Night Wandering Deity, when she tagged along for some experience.
It’s like attending a master’s lecture.
A good student gains from each lesson.
A poor student, even while listening, only thinks about when class ends.
A purple light emerged from the void, shooting straight towards Ji Yan.
The blackened Nine-headed Bird suddenly raised its heads, spewing out pure Samadhi Fire from its mouths, colliding with that purple light.
The terrifying explosion wave stirred the surrounding sea of Penglai Island into a boiling frenzy.
Chu Jiang watched clearly from the side; it was another Phoenix from beyond the heavens, attracted by the spatial ripples caused by Ji Yan’s tribulation, whether to help or with ulterior motives was unknown.
Anyway, Ji Yan wasn’t aligned with it, spitting back that purple light with a mouthful of Samadhi Fire.
However, that purple light, not giving up, circled outside Penglai Island and flew towards Chu Jiang.
What, you think I’m easy to bully?
Chu Jiang slowly stood up.
If it were somewhere else, she might not choose to confront it head-on.
But this is Penglai, Penglai Immortal Academy.
My mom is right here, with nine more of her kind.
Dare to mess with me, aren’t you afraid they might catch you for experiments?
The purple light indeed didn’t dare to act rashly, only drawing a symbolic circle in front of Chu Jiang, then swiftly vanishing into the air, leaving behind a faint Cause and Effect Line.
Chu Jiang frowned, following the Cause and Effect Line with her gaze, cutting through the layers of space-time barriers, finally landing on a prosperous port.
Xiangjiang.
What does it mean?
Xiaodie was picked up by Xiao Tingyun from Xiangjiang, and now this Cause and Effect Line is also linked to Xiangjiang?
Is there any reason that necessitates a trip to Xiangjiang?
No.
Anyhow, Chu Jiang herself couldn’t deduce any inevitable cause and effect that would require her to visit Xiangjiang.
But the owner of that purple light, the Annihilation, probably wouldn’t play any tasteless joke on her.
Being good or proper are two different things.
Shen Qingxi belongs to those crazy ones with just a hole above their neck.
Annihilation, as a revenger, takes "I’ll kill your entire family" quite literally, constantly chasing and hunting those Federation Consortium bugs up the timeline, insatiably and relentlessly.
