Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao

Marshal Canopy, once tricked by the Demon Lord, had brought about great calamities, transforming into his current state. Hence, he deeply abhorred those who toyed with the minds of others.

In the old woman's senses, Zhu Ganglie's mind was like a massive mountain, utterly immovable. Instead, her forced meddling backfired, causing her to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood uncontrollably.

Zhu Ganglie showed no courtesy, swinging his nine-toothed rake and ending her life.

At this moment, the Taoist's God Summoning Technique was also reluctantly completed—a streak of golden light descended from the sky, the auspicious clouds in the heavens appeared as if the sky was parting, and from the golden light emerged a Heavenly General, spear in hand, clad in silver armor, imposing and formidable.

"Where is the monster?" the Heavenly General asked arrogantly, and then his gaze fell upon Zhu Ganglie, who was holding the nine-toothed rake.

"Heaven! Marshal Canopy!" The originally imposing Heavenly General was instantly terrified, trembling uncontrollably. His heart filled with regret; he was well aware of Marshal Canopy's prowess. Moreover, he had long heard that the Marshal had been tricked into a pig's reincarnation. If the great man held him accountable, his life was surely over.

However, Zhu Ganglie seemed to have no intention of pursuing the matter, merely adding lightly, "Aren't you leaving? Or do you expect me to invite you for a meal?"

To the Divine General, these words were like the sound of heavenly music; he quickly put on a sycophantic smile and said, "By your command, I will take my leave immediately!"@@novelbin@@

No sooner had he spoken than the Divine General transformed into a golden light and returned to the Heavenly Court at a stupefying speed, for him, everything that happened today was like a nightmare.

The Taoist stood dumbfounded at this comical scene. As soon as Marshal Canopy's name was announced, he knew he was doomed and finally realized why his proud God Summoning Technique had failed. With such a mighty deity present, which divine spirit would dare respond to his summons? Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire

"Never thought it was Marshal Canopy himself, no wonder he's so capable. I am utterly convinced by my loss, but even in death, I must drag others down with me," the Taoist's face revealed a fierce look as his body began to shine with the dazzling Primordial Spirit Light, apparently preparing to explode his Primordial Spirit.

Zhu Ganglie quietly watched the Taoist about to self-destruct, and did nothing to stop him, as if everything was unrelated to him.

"Is this what Immortals are like? Truly indifferent, regarding all beings as mere grass and trees," the Taoist muttered to himself.

With an earth-shattering noise, a huge mushroom cloud rose from the City Lord's Manor. The scorching blast began to sweep around, destroying everything in its path.

The entire small world began to shake due to this intense explosion, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

Just at that moment, a Treasure Vase appeared out of nowhere above the City Lord's Manor, shining brightly, stabilizing the trembling space, and casting a transparent barrier over the City Lord's Manor, blocking the powerful blasts within.

The immense blasts, blocked by the barrier, began to wreak havoc within the City Lord's Manor. The results of generations of hard work turned into ashes, forever preserved only in people's memories.

The citizens of Banished Immortal City were stunned by this scene, many kneeling on the ground in silent prayer. They were ultimately cared for by Immortals. Some cried tears of joy, embracing their loved ones, for at that moment, they had all been prepared to face death.

In the long-deserted street, a scholar wearing a Great Minister of Fate mask leisurely strolled along the silent Great Dao. He raised his head to look at the explosion in the distance and gently said, "Ah, you're too lazy, waiting for me to make a move."

"Haha, don't be upset, this is a salvation feat. Your Treasure Vase is clearly a treasure of merit. With this opportunity, you can rise to a higher level. It's fine if you don't thank me, Old Pig, but instead, you complain about me." Zhu Ganglie had appeared beside Lu Yu at some point, smiling as he spoke.

Lu Yu pursed his lips. Old Pig, this fellow, was too lazy to work himself and had caught him to toil instead, yet he had the nerve to be self-righteous about it. However, this salvation feat would indeed be very helpful for the future development of his own Treasure Vase, so he said no more.

As time passed, the aftermath of the Taoist's self-explosion gradually subsided. The former City Lord's Manor, once the highest point in Banished Immortal City, had now become a deep pit.

The mansion that once symbolized power and status had now vanished like smoke and clouds.

Lu Yu frowned, feeling uncomfortable no matter how he looked at this pit, as if a scar had appeared in the middle of Banished Immortal City.

Thus, he tilted the Treasure Vase, and water poured out from the mouth of the vase. At first, it appeared to be just a small stream, but as it fell, it grew larger and finally turned into a roaring river.

The river surged into the pit, and in a short while, it filled the pit. What was once an ugly hole had now transformed into a large lake, like a clear mirror quietly lying in Banished Immortal City. A breeze passed by, and the surface of the water immediately glimmered beautifully.

"You're wasting your effort. Since there's no living water, it's just a dead lake. Though it looks beautiful now, after some time, it will become a stinky pond." Zhu Ganglie criticized Lu Yu from the side.

Lu Yu simply smiled slightly. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the Five Qi circulated within him. The aura of water vapor emitted from his finger and fell into the lake.

The world trembled slightly, and Zhu Ganglie could distinctly feel the earth's water vapor moving towards the City Lord's Manor. Soon, he sensed that beneath the large lake, it had connected with the water veins of this world. He looked at Lu Yu in amazement, secretly astonished.

Although the means to change the heavens and the earth still seemed a bit immature and weren't deeply realized, they indicated Lu Yu's deep understanding of the Five Qi, not at all like someone who had just fully activated all Five Qi.

To see part and understand the whole, such a level of mastery over the Five Qi showed that Lu Yu's path toward the element of generation would be smoother than others.

Zhu Ganglie didn't know that before Lu Yu fully activated all Five Qi, he had combed through the earth's veins and adjusted Cave Heaven, gaining an initial understanding of the mysteries of the Five Qi's circulation through heaven and earth.

He often observed the mysteries of Five Elements Mountain and gleaned the profound mysteries of the Five Qi toward generation. After listening to Master Zhenyuan talk about the path of the Earth Immortal, he had gained an initial direction under analogous reasoning, leading to his earlier methods.

"I just had a feeling, and I didn't expect I could actually achieve this." Lu Yu couldn't help but exclaim.

He had just sighed inwardly when he was suddenly inspired, and he actually managed to accomplish this feat, a chance many dream of achieving. Without causing a great stir, he had subtly changed the complexion of the world, as elusive as an antelope hanging its horns, without a trace to be found.
