At noon, above the five continents of the Primordial World, at the South-Heaven Gate.
The sunlight shone on the sea of clouds. The insects and birds had already flown away. However, the clouds in the sky formed a strange scene. The breeze carried its own charm.
A ray of golden light shot over from the northwest. From afar, it looked like an arrow that pierced through the clouds. In the blink of an eye, it reached 50 kilometers in front of the South-Heaven Gate and left the universe behind.
The golden light instantly stopped and turned into a slender figure that stood proudly 50 kilometers away from the South-Heaven Gate.
He had sharp eyebrows, narrow eyes, and a hooked nose. His eyes were filled with arrogance.
He was dressed in a huge golden cloak that accentuated the style of the phoenix race. He wore a golden pearl and a jade crown on his head, and he was wearing golden-patterned white-winged boots. He smiled coldly at the South-Heaven Gate and raised his overly sharp chin slightly. He could already âlook forwardâ with his two nostrils.
At the South-Heaven Gate, a Heavenly General guarding the gate could not help but yawn and stretch. 50 kilometers away, the bird frowned and began to observe the situation at the South-Heaven GateâŠ
Thatâs not right. Why didnât the South-Heaven Gate send more guards? Why are there only Heaven Immortals and Perfected Immortals guarding this place?
Could it be that the Heavenly Courts did not hear the news that he had released?
Thatâs not right. The conversation between the Water God and General Dongmu was spread throughout the square. It was obvious that the Golden-Winged Roc was coming.
It was humiliating for the phoenix race to attack the weak!
The situation at the South-Heaven Gate was indeed a trapâŠ
It was already noon and he had already appeared. How could he not enter?
The Golden-Winged Roc snorted softly. It flung its cloak and was about to rush towards the South-Heaven Gate. He wanted to fly into the Heaven Gate openly in front of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. He wanted to show his extreme speed and make them unable to deal with him!
The Golden-Winged Roc turned into a golden line and rushed towards the Heavenly Gate!
However, in an instant, the roc had already rushed past 90 kilometers. Just as it was about to enter the Heaven Gate, it heard a sword chime above the Heaven Gate. The figure of the Golden-Winged Roc turned left.
The entire process happened in an instant. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals guarding the door did not have time to react.
In fact, the ordinary paper effigies that a certain god was hiding in the dark could only barely capture blurry afterimages.
On the South-Heaven Gate, the Demon-Slaying Sword emitted purple rays of light. A sword beam slashed at the Golden-Winged Roc from afar!
Although the sword beam was extremely fast, it was slower than the Golden-Winged Roc. It was about to be easily dodged by the Golden-Winged Roc. The Golden-Winged Roc even turned its head to look and revealed a mocking smile.
The so-called sword of the Heavenly Emperor was nothing much. At that moment, he had yet to reveal his true form. He was just flying in a human form. The sword light could not even catch up to him. How could he suppress⊠guard⊠the sky⊠The Golden-Winged Roc was shocked. It looked down and saw that at some point in time, it had already rushed into a barrier.
Rich Heavenly Dao power surged from all directions. The dark clouds that stretched for 50 kilometers below revealed the pattern of Yin-Yang Taiji!
The universe was like a cage. At that moment, it was actually squeezing the Dao body of the Golden-Winged RocâŠ
At that moment, the Demon-Slaying Swordâs sword beam shot over. It brushed past the face of the Golden-Winged Roc and left a shallow wound.
Below, the incomparably rich Heavenly Dao power at the South-Heaven Gate gradually dissipated.
The Golden-Winged Roc stood on the spot. It felt the horror and helplessness of being seriously injured just now.
The Golden-Winged Roc took a deep breath and stared at the South-Heaven Gate.
Iâve already said those words. Could it be that I canât even enter the Heaven Gate and have to return in failure?
Wouldnât the reputation of the Phoenix Clan be destroyed? I still want to live in the future!
From afar, the South-Heaven Gate, which was made of white jade, stood in the clouds. The three divine swords hanging above the South-Heaven Gate had returned to their original âsimpleâ state.
The giant roc was in a dilemma.
What he did not know was that in a sea of clouds in the South-Heaven Gate, Li Changshou and Qin Tianzhu, who were using the Connate Cardinal treasure Taiji Painting to conceal themselves, were⊠laughing.
âChanggeng, youâre thinking too highly of him. He directly used a Connate Cardinal treasure.â
âYour Majesty, donât think that way. The Golden-Winged Roc is the son of the Primordial Phoenix after all. Just treat it as giving the Primordial Phoenix some respect.â
Li Changshou smiled and said, âI placed hundreds of Shadow-Retaining Spheres near the South-Heaven Gate. I set them up according to the Ancient Demon Courtâs 36 Big Dipper Array just to stabilize this move.
With that scene, the dignity of the Heavenly Courts would not be affected.
We have to teach this fellow a lesson today and see if we can subdue him and make his extreme speed be used by the Heavenly Courts.
If he is too unruly and ends up escaping, we will not be injuredâŠâ
Qin Tianzhu gave him a thumbs-up and asked, âWhat if he gets angry and kills us soldiers?â
Li Changshou said, âYour Majesty, donât worry. I will attack at any time. I went to ask for the Taiji Painting from Teacher to prevent him from causing trouble.â âSure!â
Qin Tianzhu nodded in satisfaction. His eyes lit up. âHeâs coming, heâs coming again.â
Outside the South-Heaven Gate, the Golden-Winged Roc maintained its human form. It only rose and fell twice. As its cloak swayed, it returned to a place 50 kilometers away from the Heavenly Gate.
He panted heavily. His eyes were filled with fighting intent as he stared at the three divine swords above the Heaven Gate.
As long as I fly fast enough, the divine sword will not be able to catch up to me!
He, the Golden-Winged Roc, had never suffered such grievances since he was born! In terms of speed, he was the best!
Wait⊠What are these Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals doing?
âWhy isnât the person who changed shifts here
A middle-aged Heavenly General guarding the door complained.
As soon as he finished speaking, figures flew over from the South-Heaven Gate and quickly took over the defensive position.
A new Heavenly General said loudly, âLord Water God has ordered us to invite the three divine swords to the Water God Residence to repair and maintain the swords. Please escort them over.â
As he spoke, the newly arrived Heavenly General bowed deeply to the three divine swords on the South-Heaven Gate.
Qin Tianzhu secretly waved his fingers. Three divine swords slowly descended and were escorted away by a few Heavenly Generals and a group of Heavenly Soldiers.
The Golden-Winged Roc was speechless.
He had only arrived at the South-Heaven Gate for a short while, but he was stunned for the second time.
At that moment, the mind that he had honed after traveling for many years could not support the mental strength that he needed to think at that momentâŠ
Were the Heavenly Courts foiling their own plans?
No, the Water God was provoking him!
The Water God was clearly humiliating him, thinking that he was no match for the power of the Heavenly Dao!
The cross-shaped tendons on the Golden-Winged Rocâs forehead popped out. He clenched his fists and wanted to leave. However, on second thought⊠If he retreated now, wouldnât his reputation be completely destroyed? Wouldnât his Phoenix Clan become the laughing stock of the world? What a Water God!
He could not advance or retreat!
The Golden-Winged Roc squinted and thought about it.
The Water God had expected that he would disregard everything for the dignity of the phoenix race. He must have set up an inescapable net inside and waited for him to rush in.
Even if there were mountains of blades and seas of flames in front of him, he, the Golden-Winged Roc, was definitely going to break through today!
The Golden-Winged Roc suddenly laughed. It stood on the cloud and looked at the South-Heaven Gate from a hundred kilometers away. Its voice traveled thousands of kilometers.
âWater God! Even if your mystical abilities are monstrous, even if you are invincible, and even if Iâm not your match, I will accept your challenge today! I, the Golden-Winged Roc, will definitely pass the Heaven Gate! Letâs see if you can stop me before I reach the Frost Palace!â
The Golden-Winged Roc darted forward and turned into a golden line. It instantly pierced through the South-Heaven Gate and disappeared among the clouds.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals guarding the South-Heaven Gate were still looking outside the Heaven Gate, searching for the source of the voice. The golden line was so fast that their immortal senses could not capture any afterimages.
Regardless of the Cosmic Teleportation technique, the Golden-Winged Roc was indeed known for its extreme speed. HoweverâŠ
Qin Tianzhu muttered, âDid he already admit defeat to you just now? Is he going to puff himself up at his own cost and rush in with the intention to die?â
Li Changshou raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. âThe phoenix race did not blame us for losing back then.â
âYes.â Qin Tianzhu clicked his tongue. âI donât blame you for losing.â
âYour Majesty, Iâll go to the other incarnations first. I have to keep an eye on this fellow at all times to prevent him from hurting anyone.â
âGo, go.â Qin Tianzhu smiled and shook his head. With a wave of his finger, the three divine swords returned to the top of the South-Heaven Gate and continued to hang high.
At that moment, Li Changshouâs mind was shifting around the paper effigies, steadily tracking the Golden-Winged Rocâs figure.
After the Golden-Winged Roc rushed into the Heavenly Courts, it was on full alert and deliberately maintained 30% of its speed to escape in case of emergency.
However, not long after he flew into the Heavenly Courts, he was stunned againâŠ
It was peaceful everywhere. There were no soldiers at all. Although the Heavenly Courts were not considered desolate, there were still large clouds that were very empty.
The immortal senses of the Golden-Winged Roc spread out. He could see the fairies dancing in the pavilion in the distance. He could see the Heavenly Soldiers on the cloud acting in battle formations. He could see two or three immortals drinking and singing in the pavilionâŠ
At the same time, the Golden-Winged Rocâs immortal senses sensed a few shocking pressures that were distributed in three directions. They were naturally in the direction of the Tushita Palace, the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, and the Jade Pool.
âIt seems that I can only go this way.â
The Golden-Winged Roc muttered to himself, but he knew very well in his heart. He did not dare to approach the three directions.
He was there to use the Heavenly Courts to make a name for himself, to ridicule the Water God, and to give the Western Sect a sign of allegiance. He was not there to seek death.
How could he provoke the incarnation of the strongest Saint? The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother were the rulers of the Heavenly Courts. They could freely use the power of the Heavenly Dao in the Heavenly Courts. He had already experienced the power of the Demon-Slaying Divine Sword just now. His face was still in pain, so he naturally did not dare to move forward.
The Golden-Winged Roc smiled.
As long as he could reach the Glacial Palace today and see Fairy Hengâe, he would not have to be too frivolous with her. He would hug her waist and kiss her before leavingâŠ
I, the Golden-Winged Roc of the Three Realms is the only one who is wise and brilliant!
Suddenly, he heard a voice transmission. âWhy is this general smiling foolishly? Why are you flying so quickly?â
The Golden-Winged Roc, which was flying at high speed, instantly stopped. Its entire body seemed to have exploded. It looked in the direction of the voice transmission and saw a desolate immortal mountain in the sea of clouds in front of itâŠ
At the top of the mountain, there was a gray-robed burly man with horns on his head and a steel ring on his nose. He was sitting in front of the fire rack and roasting two chicken wings. There was a wine pot beside him.
The Golden-Winged Roc immediately sensed the pressure that the ox demon gave him. Especially the ox demonâs nose ring, it made the Golden-Winged Rocâs spiritual perception jump.
The green bull was puzzled. âGeneral, whatâs wrong? Could it be that barbecue is not allowed here?â
âUnrelated personnel of the Heavenly Courts.â The green bull waved his hand and smiled brightly according to the script that he had memorized previously. âHow should I address you, General?â
Just as the Golden-Winged Roc was about to report his background, he hesitated slightly and said, âYou donât have to know where the Glacial Palace is.â
âThe Glacial Palace. Fly over here and keep flying. If you fly to the intersection between the Sixth and Seventh Heavens, you will be able to find a road sign. The direction of the Glacial Palace was marked on it.â The green ox chuckled. âWhy? Are you going to see Hengâe? Donât think too much. Itâs very difficult to see Hengâe. Youâll be lucky if you sneak a glance at those Changâe girls.â
The Golden-Winged Roc snorted coldly and cupped his hands at the green ox. He said, âI never expected that a mighty figure of the demon race like Senior would join the Heavenly Courts.â
After saying that, his body turned into a ball of golden light and pulled out a faint golden line in the sky. He avoided the green bull and flew away quickly. The green ox cursed, âGeneral, why are you still scolding the ox? Youâre the f*cking demon!â
The Golden-Winged Roc listened to the curses that gradually landed behind it. The corners of its mouth twitched slightly. It treated that as the last bit of cover for the ox demon.
No, it seems that the Grand Supreme Elderâs mount is also a cow.
Just as that thought surfaced in his mind, the Golden-Winged Roc stopped again. He had already seen the floating road sign in the clouds where the two heavens intersected. There were two wooden arrows on the road sign. They were diagonally upwards. One of them pointed towards the north-west and the other towards the northeast.
A line of words was marked on the wooden sign that pointed to the northwest. It led to the moon.
The wooden sign pointing to the northeast indicated that it led to the Heavenly Punishment Hall.
The Golden-Winged Roc frowned and immediately realized that⊠the problem was not simple.
What a powerful Water God. He actually used the Heart of Disaster here.
The Golden-Winged Roc smiled again and recalled the instructions that the disciples of the Western Sect had given him when he arrived.
The Water God was extremely cunning. He had to be careful. The Water God focused on calculating his opponentâs heart. Donât think too much about it and just charge forwardâŠ
If ordinary birds arrived here, they would definitely do the opposite and walk towards the direction of the Heaven Punishment Hall marked here.
If a smarter bird arrived here, they would do the opposite and follow the directions given by the wooden sign. However, he was the son of the Primordial Phoenix, the fastest in the Three Realms, and the Golden-Winged Roc of the Primordial World. How could he be fooled?
The patterns on the wooden sign were still new and the ink had yet to dry. There was still a faint wisp of the Grand Pure Daoâs Dao runes on it. It must have been established by the Water God previously!
There was only one answer. There was only one true path!
The Golden-Winged Roc looked up at the middle of the two road signs. It sneered and charged forward, smashing the road signs!
This was the way to the moon!
A thousand kilometers away, the sea of clouds churned.
The Golden-Winged Roc was so fast that it could not react in time. Suddenly, it was blocked by a cloud. It was rebounded by the power of the Heavenly Dao. It lowered its head and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The cloud in front of it was blown away by the horizontal impact, revealing the translucent light golden barrier behind itâŠ
The barrier array formation at the edge of the Heavenly Courts!
It cursed in the vulgarities of the phoenix race!
The Golden-Winged Roc turned its head and looked around. Its nose trembled a few times before it flew back to where the wooden sign was originally.
He pondered for a long time and probed with his immortal senses for a long time. In the end⊠he headed towards the direction of the âmoonâ that was marked on the road sign.
In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the huge bronze mirror in the middle displayed the scene that had happened previously to the immortals.
Someone could not help but laugh. The entire hall was filled with joy.
Li Changshouâs paper effigy was standing there. At that moment, it was resting with its eyes closed. It also revealed a faint smile.
There must be a trap. Unknowingly, the Golden-Winged Rocâs vigilance had been raised to the highest.
It was almost unobstructed along the way. At that moment, it had already touched the vicinity of the Lunar Star from the edge of the eighth Heaven. It could already see the huge star that was circulating in the sky.
However, the Golden-Winged Roc was hesitating
Why did the Heavenly Courts not take any precautions?
Why were there so many treacherous places along the way and even a road sign that led him?
Why did the Water God deliberately remove the three divine swords?
It was very simple. The Water God wanted to deal with him when he was careless! Just as he was about to succeed and he relaxed, they would attack!
All of the Water Godâs schemes were on the moon!
No, thatâs not right eitherâŠ
If I were to make it to the moon, the Water God would have lost half the battle. The Water God is good at scheming and might have set up an ambush before the moon.
In that case, as long as I take a detour from the back and climb up the back of the moon without anyone noticing, wouldnât thatâŠ
The Golden-Winged Roc revealed a faint and confident smile. Two faint wings appeared on its back. With a light tap of its toes, it quickly shuttled through the sky to the back of the moon with a suppressed sonic boom. On the back of the moon, there was a light white âsea of sandâ. There was a light green forest in the sea of sandâŠ
The Golden-Winged Roc sensed the abnormal fluctuations of the universe. There might be some powerful array formation there.
He did not dare to be careless. He slowly landed at the edge of the sand sea and wanted to fly towards the front. However, he realized that the universe was sealed. There was an invisible wall between the front and back of the Lunar Star. There was also a rather dangerous aura circulating on it.
The Golden-Winged Roc pondered for a while. Its body remained faint as it touched the vicinity of the forest. When it focused, it saw a stone tablet.
âThere is no secret passage that leads to the Glacial Palace.â
Only a fool would fall for it!
However, the Golden-Winged Roc⊠hesitated.
Various thoughts surfaced in his heart. He hid in the sand and remained silent for a long time.
At some point in time, going to the Glacial Palace had become an obsession. Even if he touched Hengâeâs hand, he would not lose to the Water GodâŠ
The phoenix raceâs Divine Flames would not be extinguished!
The Golden-Winged Rocâs nose trembled a few more times. It took a step forward and strode into the forestâŠ
However, to the surprise of the Golden-Winged Roc, there was indeed a secret passage there. Moreover, the secret passage contained a faint power of water essence. There was even an array formation that could shrink the ground to inches in front of him. He could walk hundreds of kilometers with a single step!
Carefully, one step at a time, the Golden-Winged Roc slowly flew to the end of the path. For some reason, it turned into a head and feet and arrived at the other side of the Lunar Star⊠It turned around and looked up. It realized that it seemed to be in a dry well.
However, only by charging through would he be able to become famous in the Primordial World!
The secret technique of the phoenix race was readyâŠ
In the well, the Golden-Winged Roc stopped and stood thirty feet in the air.
The dance pavilionâs singing platform and the winding path led to a secluded place. There was a huge canopy above his head.
There were no soldiers lurking around. There were no traps everywhere. Instead, there was a sturdy array outside the four walls.
âBe good and open the door ~â
A pleasant humming sound came from the side.
The Golden-Winged Roc turned its head to look at the source of the voice. It saw an adorable young girl carrying a basket of carrots on her back and jumping from the vegetable gardenâŠ
The young girl tilted her head and discovered the Golden-Winged Roc standing in midair. She was stunned for a moment before her face turned pale. She screamed, âMaster! A man has barged in! Master!â
âShut up!â The Golden-Winged Roc shouted and flew out with a whoosh. He raised his hand and was about to grab the young girl.
A cold snort suddenly exploded beside the ear of the Golden-Winged Roc. The spiritual perception of the Golden-Winged Roc jumped wildly, and the hair on its body stood on end. Its speed dropped!
The surrounding universe squeezed over, and he seemed to have rushed into a muddy land!
The Taiji Painting secretly showed its might.
At that moment, the Golden-Winged Roc only knew that it was locked by someone elseâs mystical abilities. It turned its head in shockâŠ
A white figure flashed past. A beautiful fairy stood in front of the young girl. Her beautiful face was cold, and her eyes shone with a blue light.
An expert! The Golden-Winged Roc was about to reveal its true form, but the fairyâs attack was too fast. Her slender hands quickly formed nine-word seals and used the ancient human battle techniques.
The Golden-Winged Roc could clearly sense that the Great Dao of Time had been disrupted by the woman!
Even if it was just a trace, it was enough to cause a storm in the Golden-Winged Rocâs heart. At that moment, the Golden-Winged Rocâs extreme speed was completely broken. Its speed was as fast as a snail!
Even his main body could not appear!
The fairyâs long hair fluttered in the wind. She pushed her left palm forward expressionlessly. Nine bluish-white halos bloomed in her palm, trapping the Golden-Winged Rocâs almost frozen body. âSuppress!â
The Golden-Winged Rocâs vision turned black. Its essence soul was imprisoned and its Dao body was locked. The golden roc shadows that had already appeared around him were forcefully dispersed by the nine green halos.
The fairy waved her hand and waved her sleeve. The Golden-Winged Roc, which had been tied up like a dumpling, flew over the high wall and the array formation that automatically opened a crack. It rolled on the shallow grass for a few weeks.
A huge axe came from the side. The blade of the axe brushed past the ear of the Golden-Winged Roc. It cut off its long hair and stuck it in the grass.
The Golden-Winged Great Pengâs Dao heart trembled slightly. It felt the pressure of an expert again. Moreover, the other party had revealed his killing intent towards it without holding back. At the edge of the rocâs vision, a burly man with bulging muscles walked over. His eyes were filled with a sanguine glow.
The burly man asked in a low voice, âYour Highness, are we going to cut it or burn it?â
A cold voice answered from the wall, âTurn it into soup.â
The Golden-Winged Roc was not only frightened, but he was also angered to the point of fainting.
In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the immortals and Heavenly Generals who were watching the scene in the big bronze mirror were speechless.
