The Taotie, while one of the ancient ferocious beasts, wasn't particularly adept at speed.
Fortunately, Ye Jun wasn't in any hurry. He had previously obtained numerous spiritual treasures, such as the Bitter Bamboo, from the Three Immortal Islands in the East Sea.
Especially the fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation, which contained supreme laws. It had already begun to show results under the nourishment of his Divine Sense during this journey.
If Ye Jun were given more time, he would be able to completely master the fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation. Wouldn't that make him invincible?
At the thought of this, Ye Jun, who was lying on the Taotie's back, couldn't help but smile.
It was truly wonderful!
"Master, there's something ahead!" the Taotie's muffled voice sounded in Ye Jun's ear.
"Oh? What is it?" Ye Jun asked slowly, then sat up. Looking at a mountain peak ahead, he raised an eyebrow.
Spiritual Energy contained within, laws revealed without. This was a prime location, a top choice for a cave dwelling!
Ye Jun rested his chin on his hand. His luck was too good! He had just left the Three Immortal Islands and immediately encountered another cave dwelling.
Ye Jun felt a surge of eagerness. He swept his Divine Sense, confirming that there were no other cultivators in the cave dwelling at the moment, and quickly patted the Taotie.
"Xiao Qi, hurry!" Ye Jun called out loudly.
The Taotie was confused. Xiao Qi? Was that calling him?
Ye Jun seemed to sense the Taotie's thoughts and patted its head again.
"I'm talking to you, you oaf. You're Xiao Qi from now on!" Ye Jun said grumblingly.
The Taotie grunted and then sped up towards the cave dwelling below.
Regarding this sudden new name, the Taotie could only feel helpless. What could a mount say?
In a moment, the monkey and the Taotie landed before the cave dwelling.
"I'll go in first. You just watch the outside," Ye Jun said, then flipped over and headed into the cave dwelling.
The Dao Rhyme on this mountain peak wasn't very obvious, so the owner of this cave dwelling probably wasn't very powerful.
Ye Jun walked into the cave dwelling with his hands behind his back. The barrier and formation outside were as good as nothing to a Quasi-Saint like Ye Jun!
As soon as he entered the cave dwelling, a refreshing fragrance wafted towards him. Ye Jun's eyes narrowed. It seemed this Great Being who owned the cave dwelling enjoyed a comfortable life.
The entire cave dwelling looked extremely simple. Ye Jun swept his Divine Sense around and around but found nothing.
While Ye Jun was exploring the cave dwelling, the Taotie stood outside, idle.
It was utterly speechless about its cheap master. With such immense cultivation, how could he be so shameless?
He wouldn't even let go of someone else's cave dwelling. Ruthless!
Just then, a fiery red light suddenly rose from not far away. The Taotie immediately felt like it was facing a great enemy, its hind legs firmly planted.
Ready at any moment!
A moment later, a burly man, completely red, with a beast's head and a human's body, and two fire snakes hanging from his ears, appeared in the Taotie's vision.
Not long after, just as Ye Jun was about to leave, he suddenly heard screams coming from outside.
Ye Jun frowned. Wasn't that the voice of the Taotie, that oaf?
Could it be that the owner of this cave dwelling had returned?
Ye Jun's figure flashed. He had already thought of several ways to resolve the situation.
Only after leaving the cave dwelling did he see a burly man pinning the Taotie down with one hand.
Ye Jun squinted at the person in front of him. With such a distinctive appearance, there were only a few people in the entire Primordial World who could match.
The Ancestor Witch of Fire, Zhu Rong!
Ye Jun cupped his hands and bowed, "I presume Daoist Friend is one of the Twelve Ancestor Witches, Daoist Friend Zhu Rong."
Zhu Rong slowly turned his head to look at Ye Jun. Before Zhu Rong could say anything, the Taotie began to wail.
"Master, hurry and save Xiao Qi! This guy attacked without asking any questions!"
Ye Jun stared at Zhu Rong expressionlessly. They said the Ancestor Witch of Fire among the Witch Clan had a fiery temper.
Seeing him now, he was indeed quite fiery.
"Daoist Friend Zhu Rong, this unpromising Taotie is my mount. Could you please show some leniency?" Ye Jun said slowly.
The Witch Clan was vast, and the Hundred Thousand Mountains were full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. If nothing else, none of the Twelve Ancestor Witches of the Witch Clan were easy to deal with.
Ye Jun suddenly remembered Ancestor Witch Houtu, whom he had met last time, and dared not provoke him!
"You are Ye Jun? That Quasi-Saint?" Zhu Rong said slowly, retracting the Southern Bright Li Fire from the Taotie.
"It is I. May I ask why my mount has offended Daoist Friend?" Ye Jun said, pointing at the Taotie, who was still screaming beside him.
"There's no particular reason. I just felt like fighting an ancient ferocious beast today," Zhu Rong said with his arms crossed.
Ye Jun raised an eyebrow. Feeling like fighting? The Ancestor Witch of Fire was truly warlike!
"Since you feel like fighting, how about I fight you!" Ye Jun said coldly.
He flicked his long sleeves, and Spiritual Energy surged around him. The aura of a Quasi-Saint instantly enveloped Zhu Rong.
"As expected, a Quasi-Saint's cultivation!" the Quasi-Saint murmured to himself. The entire Witch Clan had been abuzz with talk of Quasi-Saint Ye Jun.
This time, he, Zhu Rong, would have to experience it firsthand. Was a Quasi-Saint's cultivation truly invincible?
Zhu Rong let out a low roar, and the Southern Bright Li Fire erupted around him, flames soaring into the sky and instantly engulfing the entire mountain peak.
Ye Jun frowned. The power of the Southern Bright Li Fire was not insignificant. If Zhu Rong were allowed to gain momentum, it would be troublesome.
Ye Jun immediately waved his long sleeves, and the Yin-Yang Two Energies converged from all directions, transforming into a massive Yin Yang Taiji formation that materialized from within his body.
In a short while, the entire mountain peak was filled with the fiery light of the Southern Bright Li Fire and the black and white radiance of the Yin-Yang Two Energies.
Amidst the convergence of the three colors, Zhu Rong, the Ancestor Witch of Fire, let out a great shout, and the surrounding Southern Bright Li Fire instantly gathered in his hands.
Suddenly, two long swords formed from the Southern Bright Li Fire appeared in Zhu Rong's hands. Zhu Rong took a deep breath and flung both swords towards Ye Jun.
As soon as the swords were thrown, all the surrounding Southern Bright Li Fire surged forward. The swords immediately multiplied, one becoming two, two becoming four, four becoming eight, and eight becoming myriad!
In an instant, a rain of swords converged, all falling towards Ye Jun!
A sword formation composed of Southern Bright Li Fire!
Ye Jun sneered and pointed a single hand at the sky full of sword rain. A surge of Law power poured out madly, and the sword rain abruptly halted!
Zhu Rong's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "What is going on?"
Ye Jun remained silent. All the Yin-Yang Two Energies on the mountain peak returned to Ye Jun's hands, and a massive Yin Yang Taiji fish moved towards the halted sword rain.
Southern Bright Li Fire, Yin Yang Dao Method!
Space Laws pulsed around Ye Jun. He had already deciphered the Space Laws within the Jade Disc of Creation!
Although he was not yet proficient, it was perfect for this battle!
