Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 171 Undersea Battle
Zi Dong, controlling the righteous energy, naturally discovered Palace Master Xing Fei and Palace Master Bai Jie and the others.

However, he ignored it and simply notified Immortal Venerable Wuwei to be careful.

This was expected, as it required the protection of righteous energy and naturally could not escape the investigation of the three major forces.

However, the Immortal Venerable Wuwei was not afraid. Under the protection of his righteous energy, he immediately began to explore the seabed.

"Hand it over to me for control. Focus all your energy on cultivating your righteous energy," the Eastern Purple Qi suddenly said.

"Is the sand crystal mine very large?" Zi Dong asked excitedly, otherwise Donglai Ziqi would not have taken the initiative to make a move.

"How can such a small place contain ten-thousand-year-old sand crystals?" Donglai Ziqi responded, directly taking over the righteous energy of the seabed.

Zi Dong seized the time to cultivate, striving to condense more righteous energy for the Eastern Purple Qi as soon as possible.

However, he did not withdraw his divine sense, but instead followed the righteous energy and kept checking on the digging progress of the Wuwei Immortal Venerable and his group.

Although Zi Dong had never met Sha Jing, he was very interested after hearing Zhou Xinyu's introduction.

Moreover, he also needed to observe the situation of Palace Master Xing Fei and Palace Master Bai Jie, and prevent them from causing trouble.

Even a supreme expert must withstand the immense pressure of seawater at a depth of ten thousand meters.

Without the help of the righteous energy controlled by the purple aura from the east, it would have been difficult for the Immortal Venerable Wuwei and his companions to excavate.

Palace Master Xing Fei and Palace Master Bai Jie, among others, were unable to ascertain the situation within the Righteous Qi, and dared not enter.

After discussing it for a while, the two led a group to start digging into the mud and sand on the seabed, hoping to explore from below.

Zi Dong did not stop them. Even with the help of the Righteous Qi, he could not fight against so many powerful people by himself.

However, he had his own way of controlling the righteous energy and pushing all the mud and sand dug up by Wuwei Immortal Venerable and others towards Palace Master Xing Fei and Palace Master Bai Jie.

For every inch they dug out, Zi Dong used the seawater to push that amount of silt over.

Palace Master Xing Fei and Palace Master Bai Jie and their group dug for a long time but made little progress and had to give up in the end.

"Palace Mistress Bai Jie, you take some people and stay here to keep watch. I'll go discuss this with Palace Mistress Ji Xuan immediately!"

Palace Master Xing Fei gave instructions to return to the sea immediately, as this matter could only be decided by Palace Master Ji Xuan.

Seeing that Palace Master Xing Fei had run away, Palace Master Bai Jie and the others stopped digging and pushing the mud and sand.

With the help of the purple aura from the east, the Immortal Venerable Wuwei and his entourage quickly discovered the sand crystal mine.

Just as they were preparing to dig and mine simultaneously, Zi Dong stopped them, saying that Donglai Ziqi told them to dig out the entire sand crystal mine before mining.

"Lord Zidong, this will slow things down," said Immortal Venerable Wuwei in surprise.

"Palace Master Wuwei, only after all of them have been excavated can they be protected with Righteous Qi, otherwise they will be snatched away by other forces," Zi Dong explained.

Immortal Venerable Wuwei nodded in realization and immediately led his men to continue digging in the surrounding area.

"What are they digging for on the seabed?!" Palace Master Jixuan asked after hearing Palace Master Xingfei's report.

"I just don't know what they're digging for!" Hall Master Xing Fei replied in frustration.

"Could it be sand crystal ore?!" Palace Master Jixuan asked after a moment of contemplation.

"It's possible!" Palace Master Xing Fei exclaimed in sudden realization, because the most important resource on the seabed is sand crystal ore.

"Take more people to dig, and I'll send men to attack Zhongtian Peak," Palace Master Jixuan immediately decided.

If we can obtain the sand crystal mine, the strength of each faction will be greatly enhanced. Therefore, we absolutely cannot let Donglai Immortal Palace monopolize it, and we certainly cannot let Zi Dong obtain it.

Palace Master Xing Fei quickly led over a thousand cultivators back to the seabed, where they joined Palace Master Bai Jie to begin large-scale excavation.

"The purple aura is coming from the east; Palace Master Jixuan has begun her attack on Zhongtian Peak," Zi Dong shouted in his divine sense.

"Have the cultivators from Donglai Pavilion restrain them." Donglai Ziqi gave the order, then controlled his righteous energy to rush towards Palace Master Xing Fei and Palace Master Bai Jie and the others.

Because of the large number of people involved, Palace Master Xing Fei and Palace Master Bai Jie had to excavate over a very large area, rendering Zi Dong's methods ineffective.

Suddenly, a surge of righteous energy rushed in, and Palace Master Xing Fei, Palace Master Bai Jie, and the others scattered and fled.

The Immortal Venerable Wuwei and his companions also sped up their digging, constantly chasing after the righteous energy that was spreading in all directions.

Palace Master Jixuan did not expect that Zi Dong would still have the power to fight back, so he did not go all out at the bottom of the sea.

Hall Master Xing Fei returned to report that they were no longer able to excavate normally due to the obstruction of the Righteous Qi.

"You all stay on the seabed and keep watch. I'll send more people to attack Zhongtian Peak." Palace Master Jixuan decided to intensify the attack.

If Zhongtian Peak is threatened, Zidong will definitely do everything in its power to protect it, and a breach will appear on the seabed.

In the eyes of the Palace Master Jixuan, the avatar of the Eastern Dao Ancestor was merely providing Zidong with righteous energy, and all of this still required Zidong's control.

What he didn't know was that Zi Dong was now essentially two people, and one of them was extremely powerful.

The battle at Zhongtian Peak is becoming increasingly fierce. Although they are unable to break through, most of the righteous energy is being held back.

Seeing that the time was right, Palace Master Jixuan personally went to the seabed and began digging with Palace Master Xingfei, Palace Master Baijie, and the others.

While using its righteous energy to drive away the silt, the purple aura from the east also learned from the purple aura from the east and used the seawater to send the silt over.

The large pit that Palace Master Jixuan and the others had just dug was immediately filled in by the mud and sand washed in by the sea.

"It must have been Zi Dong who did it!" Palace Master Xing Fei and Palace Master Bai Jie shouted almost simultaneously in their divine senses.

“Zi Dong is guarding Zhongtian Peak, how could he possibly be in two places at the bottom of the sea?!” Palace Master Jixuan could not believe it.

"If it's not Zi Dong, who else can control the righteous energy?!" Palace Master Xing Fei and Palace Master Bai Jie wondered.

"Use the seawater to attack the righteous energy!" After observing the situation on the seabed, Palace Master Jixuan made a decision.

The righteous energy attacked them by using the power of the sea, so Palace Master Jixuan decided to use the power of the sea as well.

More than a thousand Supreme Realm experts spread out and immediately launched an attack on the Righteous Qi.

Palace Master Jixuan quickly realized the problem: the Righteous Qi was not using the seawater, but rather merging with it!
How to play this? !

Palace Master Jixuan was immediately deflated. No matter how much they used the power of the sea, they couldn't outmaneuver the entire Stormy Illusionary Sea.

"You should take them and start digging around the perimeter!" Palace Master Jixuan ordered stubbornly, and immediately returned to the sea.

We must find a way to deal with the Righteous Qi, otherwise the Central Continent will belong to the Daoist sect, and the entire Tianyun Continent will belong to them!
Since it's impossible for Palace Master Jixuan to become a god in the short term after returning to Wuji Immortal Palace, she has to find another way.

Jin Hong had tried it in the Western Continent, and even the Heavenly Demon was no match for the Righteous Qi, so the only option was to merge with the Heavenly Demon.

The so-called fusion by Palace Master Jixuan is a complete fusion, which means allowing the Heavenly Demon to control the cultivator's body.

This allows cultivators to temporarily possess the power of immortals and gods, or at least suppress righteous energy.

Palace Master Jixuan naturally wouldn't care about the life or death of cultivators whose bodies were controlled by the Heavenly Demon; his power was the most important thing!
