Chapter 331 Opening the Heavenly Gate
"I have completely deciphered the information on the Pregnant Mother Grass. Don't you really want to transfer the restriction on Xiao Jinhui's body to yourself?"
When only the two of them were left, Liu Nanfeng asked Su Huamei. Liu Nanfeng had expressed this idea before, but Su Huamei had refused.
"Of course I want to, but not now."
"Why?"
Upon hearing this, Su Huamei rolled her eyes at him. "Didn't you say that the Heavenly Palace is very dangerous? When you truly need help, I cannot be a burden to you. Besides, there will be plenty of opportunities later, so I'm not in such a hurry."
Liu Nanfeng seemed to understand.
"By the way, do you know about Little Carp's mother and your sister..."
Liu Nanfeng didn't finish his sentence, but he felt Su Huamei should understand his meaning.
"How would I know? You should go ask my sister yourself."
"Alright, why are you women all like this?" Liu Nanfeng said helplessly.
It seemed that if he wanted to know what happened between them, he could only ask Su Jinxiu.
"Alright, then let's do what we should be doing now."
Liu Nanfeng hugged Su Huamei from behind.
The night passed without incident...
—
The next morning, after breakfast, Su Huamei did not rush back to the world of Guanshanhai.
Instead, she planned to go to the shop with Liu Nanfeng. With this trip to the Heavenly Palace, she didn't know when she would return, so she had to make arrangements for the shop. In addition, the two sisters had quite a few businesses in Jinling, all of which needed to be properly arranged.
However, as soon as they left the residential area, they heard a huge roar from the sky.
Immediately, an invisible force swept outwards from the sky, clearing away the dense fog and revealing the sky that had not been seen for a long time.
Countless rays of light shot up into the sky. There were old men in Taoist robes, great demons with colorful wings on their backs, monkey demons roaring at the sky with clubs raised, and young handsome monks.
They unleashed their divine powers, assaulting the Heavenly Gate.
Forming huge shockwaves, they scattered the dense fog, revealing the rare clear sky.
"Zhang Xinwu?" Seeing the monkey demon with a fierce look on its face in the sky, Liu Nanfeng recognized him.
"Except for that monk who I don't recognize, the old man in the Taoist robe is Zhao Henian, a recluse from Qingcheng Mountain. And the one with colorful wings is Lan Kongque, a great demon of the Peacock clan. I thought she had already perished, but I didn't expect her to still be alive."
While the two were talking, Zhang Xinwu made the first move. He raised the giant club in his hand and thrust it towards the sky. The immense power and speed caused the body of the club to ignite, like a fire dragon rushing into the sky.
The huge hole in the sky seemed like stirred muddy water, with countless lightning bolts flashing within, forming countless lightning dragons that tore through the sky and pounced on the several people.
Seeing this, the others also made their moves. Zhao Henian waved his horsetail whisk, and as if flicking away dust, he deflected all the lightning dragons that fell from the sky.
Lan Kongque held a feather fan in her hand and waved it gently. The sky full of lightning dragons disappeared without a trace as if wiped away by an eraser, revealing a clear space in front of her.
The monk chanted Buddhist incantations, and a layer of Buddhist light bloomed. A phantom image of a Bodhisattva appeared around his body, protecting him. Countless lightning dragons were blocked by the phantom image and finally fell into the alms bowl in his hand.
Among the several people, only Zhang Xinwu withstood the attack with his physical body. His fur stood on end, but he showed no signs of injury. He even roared at the sky, inhaled deeply, and sucked countless lightning dragons into his abdomen.
"What kind of force is it that can gather so many experts together?" Su Huamei said with some emotion.
"It's the official side," Liu Nanfeng explained to her.
He remembered that Zhang Xinwu had mentioned this matter to him just the day before yesterday, and he was surprised at how fast they were starting to assault the Heavenly Gate today.
At this moment, the sky changed again. Countless rays of light descended from the cavern. Wherever they passed, everything dissolved, as if it were aqua regia.
The people in the sky were also greatly alarmed and scattered to dodge.
However, they also knew that hiding was not a solution, so they each used their own methods. For a time, the sky was like a brilliant fireworks display, emitting all sorts of lights.
Just then, a beam of light suddenly shot from the ground towards the monk's back. It was clear that someone on the ground was hindering them from assaulting the Heavenly Palace.
But before the monk could turn around to defend himself, a sword energy from the direction of Great Xia streaked across the sky, directly cutting off the sneak attack. The sword intent continued, heading straight for where the light had originated. Accompanied by a roar, the heavens and earth seemed to tremble.
Seeing such a powerful sword, Su Huamei's face turned a little pale.
"Zhao Changsheng's swordsmanship has become even stronger," Su Huamei murmured.
Liu Nanfeng reached out and patted her shoulder without speaking.
With the resurgence of spiritual energy, all things in the world were undergoing a new round of evolution. Cultivators were all making great progress, and Zhao Changsheng, as a favored child of heaven, was no exception. He would only become stronger.
At this moment, the people in the sky used their respective means and finally repelled this wave of attack. However, soon, flames rained down from the sky.
The dense fog that had covered the entire world had been evaporated. Even from such a long distance, they could still feel the heat of the flames. It seemed as if there were two suns in the sky.
Zhang Xinwu roared at the sky, as his fur curled and burned under the high temperature.
At this moment, Lan Fenghuang made her move. She waved her right wing like a giant curtain, covering the entire sky. Countless heavenly fires landed on her wings, and then her wings began to burn, turning into fiery wings that looked extremely spectacular.
Lan Fenghuang let out a cry of pain, her voice clear and melodious. Countless birds responded with mournful cries.
At this moment, the young and handsome monk transformed into a great Buddha. He raised the alms bowl in his hand, tilting the opening slightly. A huge stream of water poured down, instantly extinguishing the flames on his wings.
After the flames on Lan Fenghuang's wings were extinguished, they did not become scorched black as everyone had imagined. Each feather seemed to be unharmed, but the originally colorful wings had turned fiery red, as if burning flames.
The heavenly fire did not mean the end. A gust of wind then blew down from the hole. The great Buddha avatar of the handsome monk, blown by the divine wind, dissipated at a visible speed.
Lan Fenghuang moved and dodged continuously in the air. The feathers that were unharmed in the flames were instantly melted away as soon as they were swept by the divine wind, showing the power of the divine wind.
On the contrary, Zhang Xinwu stood in the center of the divine wind without any fear. His expression was resolute as he continued to raise the giant club in his hand, assaulting the Heavenly Gate. Although the sky was ethereal, his impact caused bursts of roars that shook all directions.
At this moment, Zhao Henian made another move. He untied a wine gourd from his waist, tossed it into the air, and formed hand seals, collecting all the divine winds in the sky into the gourd.
However, Liu Nanfeng could see that his gourd was essentially ruined.
Just then, Zhang Xinwu roared, and his body grew taller by several hundred feet. He raised the giant club in his hand and thrust it forcefully at the sky again.
Everyone in the world heard a cracking sound, as if in a trance.
The Heavenly Gate opened.
