247: How do you plan to resolve this cause and effect?

"Emperor Jielong... it's him?!"

Gu Changsheng was slightly surprised.

He remembered that Emperor Jielong was the North Origin Yang Spirit, ranking under the Ice Palace, the largest force in the North Origin.

At that time, he and Sword Ancestor fought for the Sword Dao Stone, even threatening to exterminate Shu Mountain, but he was defeated by Sword Ancestor, and the two sides were already at loggerheads.

He didn't expect him to come at this moment.

After a slight deliberation, a smile appeared on Gu Changsheng's lips, and he roughly guessed the other party's intention.

Whoosh—

A figure landed, transforming into a purple-robed big man.

"Emperor Jielong... Your Excellency, what is your intention in coming to Shu Mountain?"

Gu Changsheng said with a cold expression.

This was Shu Mountain territory, enveloped by Sword Ancestor's Divine Thought. He gave Emperor Jielong a hundred guts, and he wouldn't dare to act wildly.

Sure enough, a hint of annoyance flashed imperceptibly in Emperor Jielong's eyes.

He was a Six Tribulation Yang Spirit; when had he ever been questioned by a junior?

As soon as he thought that the situation was stronger than him, a twisted expression immediately appeared on his Face. He slightly bent his back, cupped his fists, and said, "This little Dragon offended you greatly in the past. I hope Sword Ancestor will forgive me and spare this little Dragon this one time."

"Spare you? Hehe..."

Gu Changsheng sneered.

"At that time, Your Excellency was very arrogant.

Not only did you contend with my sect's Sword Ancestor for the Sword Dao Stone.

Even after your defeat, you threatened to exterminate my Shu Mountain.

How do you plan to resolve such Karma, Fellow Daoist?"

His words were sharp, completely disregarding the Face of Emperor Jielong, a Six Tribulation Yang Spirit.

Immediately, Emperor Jielong's Face turned beet red, and then he smiled ingratiatingly, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you exaggerate.

I offended you greatly in the past.

To apologize, this little Dragon specially offers a piece of ten-thousand-year Extreme River Cold Ice. I hope Sword Ancestor will accept it with a smile."

As he spoke, he took out a cyan jade brocade box and opened it. White, chilling Qi permeated, revealing a white cold jade the size of an egg.

"This..."

One doesn't hit a smiling person. Gu Changsheng immediately transmitted a message to Sword Ancestor, leaving it to Sword Ancestor to decide whether to release or kill him.

A moment later, a majestic voice like heavenly might came from the Void Realm.

"The item has been delivered, now scram!"

Immediately, Emperor Jielong's Face turned pale, and he retreated three steps, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth. He said with difficulty, "Thank you, Sword Ancestor, for your magnanimity.

This little Dragon takes his leave."

After speaking, he quickly fled as if escaping.

Gu Changsheng looked at Emperor Jielong's retreating back, a playful smile on his Face: "Indeed, the methods of a Seven Tribulation Yang Spirit are incredibly powerful.

The message contained only a slight Divine Soul attack, which was enough to make a Six Tribulation Yang Spirit unable to bear it."

Immediately, a longing rose in his heart.

Whether it was the many Yang Spirits coming to congratulate him, or Emperor Jielong coming to apologize, it was all Sword Ancestor's influence, not Gu Changsheng's.

Only by having great power within oneself can one be undefeated through all tribulations.

'Seven Tribulation... at least to this extent, to be free and unrestrained, to roam the Human Realm...'

Flames of ambition burned in Gu Changsheng's eyes.

Soon, the news of Emperor Jielong's apology spread, causing quite a stir.

"Emperor Jielong came to apologize? Goodness, Sword Ancestor has such great Face! Even the Ice Palace, the largest force in the North Origin, has to avoid his Edge and come to apologize."

"Tsk tsk, this is a Seven Tribulation Yang Spirit.

In the vast Eastern Domain, only the East Queen Mother of the Royal Court and Old Ancestor Yuan Mie of the Abyss can compare with him."

"Hehe, I just don't know when Old Ancestor Poison Dragon will come to apologize?

It is rumored that when Sword Ancestor's Divine Soul was injured, he was secretly involved."

...Abyss.

Poison Dragon Lake.

The vast, dark lake surface gurgled with bubbles, emitting a fishy smell.

Suddenly, the water surface parted on its own, and an old man with a human body, a Dragon head, and Dragon scales all over his body stepped ashore.

He held a Poison Dragon staff in his hand, his eyes filled with Evil Qi: "Damn it, that old Taoist priest isn't dead, and he even broke through to become a Seven Tribulation Yang Spirit... I must seek help from that person."

A black wind suddenly rose, and Old Ancestor Poison Dragon transformed into a wisp of black smoke, drifting towards the narrow rift valley.

It was the Abyss.

Deep within the lava-like volcanic palace, lay a black giant python tens of thousands of feet long, with prominent horns on its head. It held a slender brass pipe in its mouth, exhaling smoke. A vast amount of lava fire Qi was absorbed into its body, and flame secret patterns bloomed on its body surface.

"Old Ancestor, that Sword Ancestor has broken through to become a Seven Tribulation Yang Spirit. I'm afraid he'll be the first to come looking for trouble with me... Please protect me, Old Ancestor.

Otherwise, if I die, those dirty deeds I did for Old Ancestor might be exposed, and it will inevitably affect Old Ancestor."

As soon as these words came out, the black giant python, which had been wriggling its tail, stiffened. A huge emerald green snake pupil suddenly rotated, looking at Old Ancestor Poison Dragon.

In an instant, Old Ancestor Poison Dragon felt his Divine Soul freeze, and a chill spread throughout his body.

"You... threaten this Venerable One..."

Whoosh—

Sulfurous smoke rose from the pipe, blowing onto Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's Face.

"This humble one wouldn't dare... everything is just for self-preservation," Old Ancestor Poison Dragon said, gritting his teeth.

"Hmph, don't worry.

Since you work for us, this Venerable One will naturally protect your safety."

"Then thank you, Old Ancestor."

A look of joy appeared on Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's Face.

This black giant python in front of him was Old Ancestor Yuan Mie, a Seven Tribulation Yang Spirit.

Previously, he was one of the only two Seven Tribulation Yang Spirits in the Eastern Domain.

Now, there was an additional Sword Ancestor.

Royal Court.

In the Immortal Qi-shrouded grotto-heaven world, rare birds and exotic beasts were everywhere, and a vast amount of spiritual materials that were difficult to find in the outside world grew wantonly, like common cabbage by the roadside.

Especially in the very center of the world, a majestic and vigorous pan tao tree soared into the clouds, with fist-sized fruits hanging on it. The peels gradually changed from green to red, emitting a sweet fragrance.

It was precisely the Innate spiritual plant—pan tao.

"Oh, that Sword Barbarian also broke through to become a Seven Tribulation Yang Spirit... Very good, the strength of my Eastern Domain has increased by another point."

An old woman with a youthful Face and white hair was holding a golden pair of scissors, pruning a secluded blue orchid.

Suddenly, a rich, sweet fragrance permeated the grotto-heaven, refreshing the heart and mind. A vast number of rare birds and exotic beasts all made a crackling sound, and their auras rapidly soared.

It was the scent emitted when the pan tao ripened.

"Has it finally ripened...?"

The East Queen Mother looked at the pan tao tree, a nostalgic expression on her Face.

"Fengli, how long has it been since the last Pan Tao Conference?

Three thousand years?"

"Replying to Your Majesty. The pan tao blossoms once every thousand years, bears fruit once every thousand years, and ripens once every thousand years. So, it is indeed three thousand years."

Beside her, a white crane descended, transforming into a Fairy in white robes.

Her aura was also that of a Yang Spirit.

"Three thousand years, it's time to hold the Pan Tao Conference..."

The East Queen Mother murmured.

"You shall invite Fellow Daoists on my behalf."

"Understood."

...Soon, the news of the Pan Tao Conference opening swept through the Yang Spirit Cultivator circle of the Human Realm like a storm.

"The pan tao has finally ripened...? This time, I, this old man, must obtain one at this grand event."

"East Queen Mother is truly generous. She is willing to take out a portion of such a rare treasure of heaven and earth to organize a grand event.

At that time, most of the Yang Spirits in the Eastern Domain will go, right? It's a good opportunity to exchange information and seek some transactions."

"Haha, this is a treatment that those exotic beasts in the Far West and North Origin don't have.

They deserve it!

Who told them to hide their important resource points, afraid that we would come to snatch them?"

"The Pan Tao Conference, this is a grand event that occurs once every three thousand years in my Eastern Domain.

It cannot be missed!"

"Haha, let's go together, let's go together."

Shu Mountain.

"Pan Tao Conference..."

Gu Changsheng was playing with a gilded invitation, on which was engraved a spiritual peach full of spiritual charm, and at the top were the three characters 'East Queen Mother'.

It was the invitation sent by Fairy Fengli.

Suddenly, a magnificent aura rose from Shu Mountain, and the vast sword pressure was like Mount Tai pressing down.

A cyan jade-like figure walked out of the side hall.

Just standing there, it seemed as if the entire world would lose its color for him.
