The immense pressure was like the Tianhe Waterfall, with everyone beneath the dark clouds frozen in place, unable to move.
Bi raised her right arm, sustaining a telekinetic shield. Outside the shield, vast mana flowed like water.
The Spirit Treasure Daoist threw out a shield, from which a giant emerged, grabbed the shield, and blocked the residual force descending from the sky.
Liao Wenzheng stood beside the Spirit Treasure Daoist, his eyes fixed on a compass, swiftly chanting a mantra to stabilize the nearly flying-off pointer.
Once the geomancy was broken, external spiritual energy surged in; Li Changzhou could utilize the Divine Sect's master technique, the Heavenly Emperor's Body, or he could resort to an Escape Skill and vanish.
The oppressive force gradually passed.
"What happened?" Li Qianxia looked up at the sky.
Just as she caught a glimpse of the bright blue winter sky, rolling dark clouds surged again, covering the sky once more.
"You little brat, you didn't handle people, and you even obstructed me," Turquoise Pool shook her left hand, her five jade-like fingers twinkling.
The Eternal Heavenly Monarch, Nine Heavens Ascendant, and Pure Yang Ascendant clattered, reverting from their half-height forms back to normal.
The three of them instantly pulled away from each other, warily watching Turquoise Pool.
"Beware her Charming Technique!" exclaimed the Nine Heavens Ascendant.
"Are you saying I used a Charming Technique?" Turquoise Pool asked with a smile.
Everyone went momentarily dazzled again.
By the time they regained their composure, a gigantic Green Bird had swallowed the three of them whole.
The trio felt immensely frustrated.
They had just freed themselves from being suppressed by "Fairy's Ruyi," and had immediately distanced themselves, thinking they would not be captured together again, yet another enormous Green Bird appeared.
"Three Yangs flourish!" the Pure Yang Ascendant roared, his Primordial Spirit slowly rising from where he stood.
His body had three goat-like heads, all bearing goat beards.
The Nine Heavens Ascendant's head emitted a clear Qi, evolving into the Nine Heavens Primordial Spirit.
The Eternal Heavenly Monarch pressed his lower abdomen and vomited a ping-pong ball-sized quantity of North Sea heavy water.
The Three Yang Primordial Spirit, the Nine Heavens Primordial Spirit, and the North Sea heavy water combined forces in one strike, causing the Green Bird to wail, split open at the belly.
Before the trio could rush out, Turquoise Pool spread her hands, revealing a small flag in her grasp.
She fixed the small flag in mid-air, which, satiated with mana, swiftly enlarged. The flag rolled like waves, encircling the Eternal Heavenly Monarch, the Nine Heavens Ascendant, and the Pure Yang Ascendant.
Whether it was spells or heavy water that struck the flag, all were ineffectually soft and forceless.
"This lady has plenty of skills and tools," Turquoise Pool said with a smile, sitting cross-legged as auspicious clouds formed beneath her, perfectly supporting her.
She looked up at the dark clouds overhead.
"C, D, E, F, G, Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water," Yang Qinglan's eyes flickered after listening to the flute music for a while.
She tossed the "Fairy's Ruyi" into the air, where it hung, emitting a bright clear light, continuously leveraging Bohai's water Qi, converting it into Wood Energy with triple the force, and channeling it into the sea's forest, producing a sea-like surge of wooden python.
Yang Qinglan gestured, and a needle and thread made of sea water flew from the sea surface, rapidly intertwining until it reached her hands and transformed into a zither.
Her fingers, pale as bamboo shoots, plucked the strings.
Boom!
The wild trees chasing the beautiful woman, the scholar with the Jade Flute, and the Fire Residence Daoist, suddenly stiffened upon the sound of the zither and were unexpectedly imbued with Golden Qi.
Suddenly, a formidable and oppressive air filled the sky, and the robust trees twisted like iron dragons, soaring.
The scholar tapped the Jade Flute.
Bang!
What was supposed to be a devastating blow only blasted four or five golden trees apart.
The golden trees then abruptly contracted, forming spheres around the three individuals and slowly compressing, intent on squeezing them into blood water.
Amid a piercing metallic friction sound, the golden tree sphere imprisoning the beautiful woman was gradually forced open.
A peach tree grew larger and larger, soon towering a hundred meters tall in the sky, enveloping it in a rain of petals.
Inside the golden wooden cage that confined the Fire Residence Daoist, a burst of flames suddenly spread in all directions.
Boom!
The head of a Fire Dragon emerged from the top of the golden wooden cage, and with a single breath, a pillar of fire devastated everything, burning all the golden trees along with the island itself.
The surrounding sea water rapidly evaporated, creating a vast expanse of fog.
In the scholar's cage, a jade bi sprang forth, instantly transforming into a small mountain hurtling toward Yang Qinglan.
Yang Qinglan kicked out, her foot turning into a snake tail in the air. The slender tail flicked the mountain-sized jade bi away as easily as a finger poking a two-meter diameter balloon.
The zither turned to water and vanished, her tail waving as she retrieved a "Small Jade Cauldron" from her sleeve and gently blew on it.
The "Small Jade Cauldron" spun rapidly, shooting through the sky like a meteor, unexpectedly gathering the hundred-meter tall peach tree, the ferocious Fire Dragon, and the projected jade bi all inside it.
Yang Qinglan's autumn water-like eyes showed a trace of solemnity, like a frozen lake surface.
"With heaven and earth as the furnace, creation as the firewood."
Bohai's water Qi surged toward the heavens, pulling a waterfall backward like Dragon Water Absorption, the cascade scrubbing at the base of the "Small Jade Cauldron," as if lifting it in the sky.
As Yang Qinglan's mantra changed, the water flow burned like fire.
Having only recently received the "Heaven and Earth Furnace Mysterious Dao Enlightenment Treasure" from Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan could only employ the S-tier tool "Small Jade Cauldron" to utilize this Daoist technique, guiding only the abundant Bohai water Qi.
With only water Qi, she couldn't even gather the Five Elements, making the refining process extremely slow.
To refine the scholar with the Jade Flute, the beautiful woman, and the Fire Residence Daoist into products, given the current intensity of the fire, it would likely take two to three months, and she had to ensure her mana didn't run out during that period.
There was no need to refine them.
Yang Qinglan retracted her snake tail, cradled the Ruyi, maintained the fire power, and looked up at the dark clouds overhead.
