The First Demon of the Chan Sect

In front of the ancient Water Prison, silence fell once again.

Li Qingquan observed Jiang Jili from one side for a long time, then transmitted his voice to Li Qingming: "Big brother, I think this guy isn't lying! Perhaps only that Jiang Ziya can break the Array! But, big brother, don't you have three wooden tablet Strange Objects? With them, can't you break this Array?"

Li Qingming shook his head and said: "That method won't work; I don't know why, but those damn wooden tablets seem to completely lose their effect here, they're utterly useless! Right now, there are only two methods, one is to wait for Jiang Ziya, let him come and break the Array; the other is to forcibly break through, to smash through the Array!"

Li Qingquan fell silent upon hearing this.

"Amitabha Buddha!" Shakyamuni uttered Buddha's name and stood up saying: "Master Li, I see that they come and go into the Water Prison without any restrictions, why do you insist on breaking the Array set up on it?"

Li Qingming smiled and said, "That Jiang Ziya is no fool. If he just wanted to guard the Water Prison, placing such a treasure here would indeed be an overkill! I think it's mostly to restrict Poseidon's movements, to prevent someone from abducting him!"

"That Jiang Ziya is truly despicable!" With a pale face and slightly recovered from his injuries, Yang Jian cursed through gritted teeth.

"Alright, let's not think too much about it, I'll go try the power of the Great Formation and see if I can break it!" Li Qingming interrupted everyone and walked forward in large strides.

Just as Li Qingming was approaching the Water Prison, a streak of bluish green brilliance burst out from the walls of the Water Prison, aiming straight for the top of Li Qingming's skull.

"What is this?" Li Qingming frowned slightly, pointing to the top of his head, where the ancient, three-legged, dual-handled Qiankun Tripod appeared out of nowhere in mid-air, lowering strands of green light which firmly protected him.

"Clang!"

The bluish-green brilliance collided against the green light barrier dropped from the Qiankun Tripod, producing a clear metallic clang.

Li Qingming saw it clearly; it was a pure thread of Yuqing True Essence. Unexpectedly, Jiang Ziya had added Yuqing True Essence to this Great Formation to distinguish whether someone belonged to the disciples of his Ziwei Palace.

However, although the attempt just now failed, the light shadow still sensed a vague thread of Yuqing True Essence, hence the cease in its action.

"Hahaha, cleverness was outwitted by cleverness!" Li Qingming continued walking inside, protected by the Qiankun Tripod overhead, "If every Human Practitioner possesses Yuqing True Essence, wouldn't that mean everyone could enter the Water Prison? Jiang Ziya was really careless!"

Was Jiang Ziya really careless? Of course not!

In the entire Titan World, only those who practice cultivation and contain Yuqing True Essence within their bodies come exclusively from his Ziwei Palace. Moreover, upon entering Ziwei Palace, Jiang Ziya had already required everyone to swear an oath with their Dao Heart as the stake, so he wasn't worried about outsiders breaking into the Water Prison.

However, the world is so marvelous; with this layer of Yuqing True Essence as a cover, the Array Jiang Ziya set up around the Water Prison was completely ineffective against Li Qingming.

"Divine Beating Whip, the Divine Beating Whip from the legends of Divine Enthronement!" Li Qingming looked up at the Taoist Wood Whip that seemed just within reach, excitedly yelling and soaring upward, flying towards the Divine Beating Whip hovering above the Water Prison.

"Boom!"

Just as Li Qingming's right hand was about to grab the Divine Beating Whip, a green Divine Sense pierced through the Void, flowing like the green grasslands, but still extensive and terrifyingly fearsome, it reached him in an instant, and grabbed the Divine Beating Whip before Li Qingming.

Following that, the green Divine Sense shadow wielded the Divine Beating Whip, forcefully lashing forward.

The wooden whip was simple and unadorned, resembling an ordinary firewood stick, but its terrifying power, and control over the surrounding space power, clearly showcased it as a precious artifact.

Moreover, it even split open the black terrifying waves, shattering a large area of the surrounding sea space into a ferocious and overwhelming state.

Suddenly and without any preparation, Li Qingming was struck by the flying Divine Beating Whip and was sent flying.

"Ah!"

Li Qingming staggered back roughly thirty feet, suddenly letting out a light strange scream, only feeling as if something small in the Sea of Consciousness of his Primordial Spirit was absorbing the power of his Sea of Consciousness, though the extent was only like the bite of a mosquito, it was still truly existent.

The so-called Divine Beating Whip, beating gods, beating gods! The "god" referred to here is not among the famous three hundred and sixty-five Official Gods of the Heavenly Palace, but the Primordial Spirit!

A sudden small pain that appeared in the Sea of Consciousness of Li Qingming's Primordial Spirit exactly proved this point.

Green Divine Thought seemed conscious, he held the Divine Beating Whip in his right hand, an ice-cold voice emanating from his illusory face: "I wield the Divine Beating Whip, you petty figures dare to covet the Divine Beating Whip! Die!"

At this point, the green figure dove down, carrying a pressure from Heavenly Dao, overwhelmingly pressing down on Li Qingming.

Already having been ambushed by the Divine Beating Whip, Li Qingming, somewhat irritated, his eyes filled with murderous intent, coldly shouted: "Damned! Come over, Divine Beating Whip!"

As soon as his words fell, Li Qingming's hands rapidly changed Dharma Seals, chanting cumbersome spells, though slightly unskilled, all the spells floated out from his mouth, forming glittering golden Tao Runes. Each rune was like a fierce beast of the barbaric lands, mysterious and indescribable!

The grim Sea of Death God suddenly lit up, these Tao Runes were thoroughly activated.

An ancient aura enveloped everything, filled with vicissitudes, and a miraculous melody transmitted.

"Seize the weapon!" Li Qingming's eyes shone like lightning, a bone-chilling voice burst forth from his mouth.

"Buzz~~~"

The green figure's tightly held Divine Beating Whip began to tremble violently, numerous golden runes that Li Qingming had just expelled, flashing with dazzling radiance, drifting continuously into the Divine Beating Whip.

"Whoosh!"

When the last rune drifted into the Divine Beating Whip, the green Divine Thought could no longer hold onto it and could only watch helplessly as it floated towards Li Qingming.

Just as the Divine Beating Whip was about to reach him, Li Qingming pointed to the Heavenly Vault with one hand, and the Qiankun Tripod above his head suddenly flew out, directly slamming towards the green figure.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a tremendous force, the Qiankun Tripod fiercely struck the green Divine Thought shadow, intense noise erupted where they met, stirring the sea and generating terrifying sound waves, rippling out tens of thousands of leagues.

Shortly after, the Qiankun Tripod flew back atop Li Qingming's head, and the green Divine Thought shadow was obliterated by the Qiankun Tripod, ceasing to exist. (To be continued.
