Golden Body
Five Elements Hall. Plaza.
Beams of light emerged from all directions and gathered in the plaza.
When Fang Yu landed in the square, there were already more than a hundred True Disciple gathered there, most of whom Fang Yu had never seen before.
And these are only those currently inside the mountain gate; there are many more True Disciple who are out on various missions and have not yet arrived.
"What on earth happened? The Startling Feather Bell actually rang!"
"Could it be that the Heavenly God Sect has launched an attack?"
"This is the first time I've heard the Startling Feather Bell; something major must have happened inside the sect."
"..."
The time it takes to drink a cup of tea passes in a flash, Jiang Xiasheng's figure appears, his voice resounding throughout heaven and earth:
"Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon has descended upon the secret realm within our sect. This is a catastrophe for heaven and earth, a calamity for the Ascension Immortal Sect. The Sect Leader has ordered us to unite against the demon. Fellow disciples, follow me into the battle!"
Jiang Xiasheng didn't waste any words. After finishing speaking, he headed towards the array eye guarded by the Five Elements Peak, followed by many True Disciple.
"Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon has descended!"
"I never expected that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon demon would descend upon us. Isn't this something that's only recorded in ancient books?"
"What kind of demon is this that requires the combined strength of the entire sect?"
"Hmph, I'd like to see what tricks this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon has up its sleeve!"
"..."
Fang Yu followed the many True Disciple into the array's core, chose a spot to sit down, connected his Divine Sense with the Great Connection, and opened his eyes the next moment to find himself in the Azure Lotus Secret Realm.
A body formed from the convergence of the five elements' Law Power is constantly solidifying from the illusory, and beside it are other Dharma bodies that are also formed by the power of the great array.
'This is the true foundation of the Ascension Immortal Sect!'
Fang Yu thought to himself, having no time to marvel at the power of the Spirit Transformation Grand Formation, and looked up ahead.
A towering figure came into view, dressed in a wide-sleeved brocade robe, with a green long skirt tied in front of his chest, and a vermilion open knee-length skirt at his waist, from which long ribbons hung down. In his left hand he held a wooden umbrella adorned with various gemstones, and in his right hand he pinched a constantly wriggling earthworm.
She stood on Azure Lotus Lake, and endless water vapor rose from around her, causing the Azure Lotus Lake's water level to rise continuously, submerging Azure Lotus Island, while wind and rain also blew around her.
The wind and rain were like knives, shattering the physical bodies of all the True Disciple who entered, and also blocking countless Law Technique of all kinds.
"This is the 'golden body' of [Precious Water] True Lord!"
Although this was the first time Fang Yu had seen this figure, the name of the True Lord who occupied the Golden Position of [Precious Water] naturally surfaced in his mind:
[Taiyi Auspicious Rain Manifestation Primordial Lord]
'This shouldn't be happening, this shouldn't be happening!'
Fang Yu's heart pounded. Logically, this True Lord shouldn't have come. Now, not only has he come, but he's also brought his golden body. This means the ' Golden Position ' in the Black-Yellow Realm is now vacant. Aren't the Purple Mansion below overjoyed? Is He not planning to go back?
"Disciples, heed my command! Follow me to vanquish the demon!"
An aged voice came from the center of Azure Lotus Island, where the fifth-order restriction was no longer in place. In the middle of the island, a figure sat cross-legged, with nine chains piercing through his body.
At this moment, boundless spiritual energy emanated from its body, flowing outwards along the nine chains and supporting the operation of the fifth-order grand formation.
'Is that a Spirit Transformation cultivator?'
Fang Yu looked at the figure, and now he could see clearly that it was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, whose eyes were still tightly closed.
Standing beside him was an elderly man with an air of otherworldly wisdom, none other than Xuan Yu, the current leader of the Ascension Immortal Sect.
At this moment, the manifested Dharma bodies of the Eight Meridians disciples filled the sky, and streams of magic transformed into countless beams of light that shot towards the golden body of [Taiyi Auspicious Rain Manifestation Primordial Lord].
Fang Yu made hand Method Formula and shot out Geng Metal Sword Qi toward the golden body, but his attention was focused on the Great Void passage that had also manifested in the mortal world beside the golden body.
The passage was surrounded by an extremely obvious Great Void Storm, but the passage itself had been filled with endless Precious Water, and the earthworm, with one end held in the True Lord's hand, was frantically stirring up the Precious Water inside.
Fang Yu sensed that the Geng Metal Sword Qi he had unleashed was immediately diminished upon entering the area affected by the heavy rain.
But doubts arose in his heart.
' Taiyi Auspicious Rain Manifestation Primordial Lord ' doesn't seem to be opening or expanding the Great Void Channel; rather, it seems to be blocking it.
What is He trying to do? Wasn't He going to invade the ' Great Scarlet Heaven '? Shouldn't He be widening the Great Void Passage to let the Purple Mansion below in? Why is He blocking the passage?
He doesn't really have no intention of going back, does he?
Suddenly, a golden light shot out from the passage, severing the earthworm into several pieces. At the same time, a voice devoid of joy or sorrow echoed from the Great Void passage:
[Pure Yang! Do you really intend to abandon the 'Celestial Venerable'?]
The various jewels on the wooden umbrella in the hand of ' Taiyi Auspicious Rain Manifestation Primordial Lord ' lit up, emitting endless mysterious light, which submerged the golden light surging from the Great Void passage. At the same time, cracks appeared on His golden body, just like a broken porcelain doll.
The Great Void Passage was forcibly closed under the illumination of that mysterious light, leaving only the endless Great Void Storm blowing outwards.
Just then, the 'golden body' slowly turned its head and looked towards Fang Yu. Its gaze seemed to pierce through the great formation and reach the location of Fang Yu's true body.
A voice appeared in his mind. "A hundred years from now, you must go to Cloud Dream Lake - Jade Bottle Island - East Sand Village to guide this True Lord's reincarnation into Mount Kunlun. Remember, never return to the Black-Yellow Realm!"
As the voice faded, the golden body of ' Taiyi Auspicious Rain Manifestation Primordial Lord ' shattered, and pieces of porcelain fell, turning into endless water. This caused the water level in the Azure Lotus Secret Realm to rise at a visible speed, filling the entire Azure Lotus Secret Realm in the blink of an eye.
Fang Yu suddenly opened his eyes, sensing the ground beneath him trembling. The divine power of the Spirit Transformation Grand Formation dissipated, and he transformed into a five-colored streak of light, soaring into the sky. He saw endless water suddenly appearing in the direction of ' Ascension Peak ', surging towards the surrounding area.
The water was boundless, like the sky collapsing, and in an instant it submerged mountain ranges, surging in all directions.
'Golden Body Daoism!'
Fang Yu felt his throat was a little dry. The ' Taiyi Auspicious Rain Manifestation Primordial Lord ' died here, and the golden body formed by the rules of Heavenly Dao turned into a flood, and the mountain gate of the Ascension Immortal Sect was about to be submerged.
As he pondered this, the boundless waters rushed past his feet, submerging the Five Elements Peak, and continued their flow.
In just a short while, everything in sight was a vast expanse of water.
Suddenly, a drop of water landed on Fang Yu's face. He slowly stretched out his palm, and one drop of rain after another fell into his hand.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier!
