I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 171 Lu Wujiu Takes Action

The headmaster of Shenxiao took a deep breath and said in a voice transmission: "My cultivation is shallow and I can't see the problem, but I can't see through the formation either."

Can't see through the formation?
Although Master Shenxiao is not good at formations, not being good at it and not being able to understand it are definitely two orders of magnitude more difficult.

Either the formation is too complicated;
Or there are too many redundant designs inside to deceive people.

"Then fellow Daoist, do you still want to continue to complete the seal?"

"No, fellow Daoist, please break the seal!"

"Easy to say."

The two people communicated with each other in an instant, and then went on their own.

In the eyes of outsiders, they only saw the head of Shenxiao gradually merging into the Xuanji Kanyuan Formation, and the magma flowing in the volcano seemed to dim at this moment.

But it was only for a moment.

"Boom——"

A thrilling muffled sound came from the depths of the ocean. The next moment, the Xuanji Kanyuan Formation, which had been gradually disappearing, suddenly lit up.

A familiar scene happened again!

Fu Li was horrified when he saw this and shouted, "Fellow Daoist Duan, your soul will return to the West Palace, your spirit will guard the East Palace, and your magic power will suppress the Central Palace!"

The sound was like thunder, rumbling.

The headmaster of Shenxiao seemed to have heard his instructions, and the Xuanji Kanyuan Formation that was shining brighter and brighter, suppressing all the heat that was erupting.

"Excellent!"

Fu Li was overjoyed when he saw this.

As expected of a fourth-class cultivator, his reaction is truly amazing.

The monks who were watching the sealing were also very excited and applauded.

There are eighteen sea area magic arrays; with the top four masters in charge, this disaster that has wreaked havoc on the East China Sea will surely be suppressed!
"Om-"

Suddenly, a blinding light appeared from the top of the volcano. When the monks who were talking to each other wanted to look, they instinctively closed their eyes, or even turned around abruptly to avoid the strong light.

However, even so, the light that shone through the nine heavens still made the eyes of countless cultivators bloodshot.

Wait until the strong light gradually fades away.

"Crackling..."

The sound of explosions came from the volcano one after another. The cultivator who barely opened his eyes and looked saw, in the midst of double vision and dizziness, that the Xuan Ji Kan Yuan Formation was already collapsing inch by inch.

The volcano, freed from its restraints, erupted once again, with even greater power than at the beginning.

"Failed again?"

"How could this be?"

Fu Li, who witnessed this scene, lost all color in his face, and the nine cultivators also looked bewildered.

Not long after, the headmaster of Shenxiao Sect, his hair disheveled and his robes charred, flew back in a rather disheveled state. He cupped his hands and sighed, "I'm sorry to disappoint you fellow Taoists. This fire spirit is truly extraordinary."

Seeing this, Kong Han of the Zhengyi Sect was secretly delighted. With the failure of the Shenxiao Sect leader accompanying him, his own failure seemed natural.

He didn't dare show any joy, and said with a serious face, as if he understood deeply:

"Yes, if this were an ordinary volcano, why would it need to be sealed? We can just guide the power out. But this fire spirit, though seemingly insignificant, becomes even stronger when it encounters a stronger force. It's truly incredible."

The headmaster of Shenxiao sighed: "Ah!"

The High Priest of Shangqing frowned, "What should we do now?"

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do.

After a while, the nine monks suppressed their pride in the orthodoxy of the Xuan Sect and carefully asked Fu Li about the secrets of the fire spirit.

Fu Li did not hide anything and told everything he knew.

The monks listened and pondered the underlying principles to see if they could find a solution.

From time to time, monks would fly to the volcano to collect magma, or set up magic circles to explore and experiment.

As time went by, more and more cultivators gathered. These latecomers listened to their predecessors talk about the failure of the first two seals. While they were very excited, they also hated their own shallow cultivation and that they had to get up so early and arrive late.

While the monks were discussing countermeasures, the volcanic activity became visibly more violent.

The magma that originally erupted once every half an hour gradually shrank to the time it took to erupt for an incense stick, and its scale grew larger and larger, like boiling soup in the cauldron of heaven and earth.

"We can't delay it any longer!"

The High Priest of Shangqing issued a warning.

As if to confirm his warning, the volcano erupted again with a loud bang, but this time, there was no pause. The steaming sea water spread like an avalanche from all sides of the volcano, forcing the onlookers to retreat.

This retreat means giving in step by step.

Everyone finally witnessed how horrific the fire spirit disaster that was passed down from generation to generation in the eighteen seas thousands of years ago was.
As the steam continued to grow and expand, a giant cyclone cloud column with a diameter of a thousand feet stood above the volcano, mixed with volcanic ash to form toxic acid rain, which fell down in the sea breeze.

For a moment, the monks were in disaster.

Those with advanced cultivation can still protect their bodies with their magical powers; the independent cultivators who arrive late are directly exposed to the acid rain; the volcanic ash contaminated with the breath of fire is as hot as sparks, burning the independent cultivators so that they have to jump into the sea to dilute the damage caused by the acid rain.

"This place is only a few hundred miles from land. If we don't seal the fire spirit, when the clouds drift over to land, dark clouds will obscure the sun and poisonous rain will pour down from the sky. When the poisonous rain passes, even weeds will wither like ash, and vast expanses of fertile land will turn to barren soil. Not only will this year's harvest be wiped out, but the next ten years will be ruined!"

Fu Li shouted a warning!

Upon hearing this, the nine monks turned pale.

They don't engage in farming, but that doesn't mean they don't know the consequences!
If the coastal lands were to fail, it would not only lead to severe drought and cannibalism, but also the collapse of the order of the Xuanmen sect. At that time, in order to seize survival resources, they would have no choice but to move inland.

With limited resources, it is hard to imagine what kind of bloody storm will be set off in the land of Jiudao.

"Wind blows!"

The headmaster of Shenxiao suddenly flew into the sky, his long sleeves fluttering as a strong wind arose.

“Clouds gather!”

The howling gale gathered all the clouds within a radius of a hundred miles.

"Thunder!"

Thunder and lightning were brewing in the clouds, but they did not explode, burning the volcanic ash in the clouds wantonly.

Other monks followed suit, flying into the air or summoning wind and rain to surround the clouds.

Or use magic weapons to swallow and exhale clouds;
Or use great magical power to blow the clouds deep into the East China Sea...

All these can be described as the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.

However, no matter how busy everyone is, it is still just drinking poison to quench thirst.

Because the volcano is still erupting, the evaporating water vapor is still spewing out, breeding endless disasters.

"How to do?"

"My fellow Taoists, do you have any other solutions? Stop hiding it."

"Whatever means you have, just try it."

The monks shouted loudly.

However, there are very few people willing to take action.

It's because the volcano is too big and the scene is too terrifying; it's also because the lessons of previous failures are too heavy; and it's also because no one is sure of sealing the fire spirit, so why bother?
Just as the situation was about to get out of control, a white cloud flew in from the land of Jiudao, standing out so conspicuously among the dark clouds in the sky.

As the white cloud approached, the mist dispersed and it was revealed that the leader of the Liangyi Sect, Lu Wujiu, was standing on the famous Dunxun Mirror of the Shenxiao Sect!

"I am grateful for the trust you placed in me by Daoist Fellow Duan, and for entrusting me with this precious artifact. I have lived up to your expectations. The artifact is now complete, and I am now respectfully returning it to its original owner."

As Lu Wujiu spoke, he waved his hand and a scroll emerged, emitting a clear and spiritual aura that was completely different from that of a magic weapon.

When this object appeared, all the monks gathered around the volcano were shocked.

Spiritual weapon? This is a spiritual weapon?
For a moment, countless envious and greedy eyes were cast.

When many people saw the Dunxun Mirror under Lu Wujiu's feet, they finally realized that this mirror was most likely the starting gold for refining spiritual weapons.

The headmaster of the Divine Sky Sect said loudly, "Since this weapon was made by you, you must be more familiar with it. It is better to seal the fire spirit as soon as possible!"

Lu Wujiu said with a serious face: "Fellow Daoist Duan, are you serious?"

The headmaster of Shenxiao said, "All cultivators in the world can bear witness to this."

testify?

The cultivators were confused and it took them a while to realize what Lu Wujiu and Master Shenxiao were going to do.
——It is obvious that he wants to take the spiritual weapon to seal the remains of the fire spirit!
"Friend Lu, please act quickly and don't delay!"

The headmaster of Shenxiao urged.

Lu Wujiu bowed and said, "Sir, you are righteous!"

As soon as the voice fell, he waved his hand, and the scroll in his hand suddenly unfolded. Surging water spirit energy overflowed from it, evaporated into the air, and turned into a mirage!
There you can see mountains clustered together, bamboos lush and trees towering, and large palaces towering like fairy palaces. It can be said to be a paradise on earth.

"fall!"

Lu Wujiu let out a low shout, and a mirage descended from the sky, submerging and swallowing up the smoke columns that reached the sky, the blazing golden magma, and the towering volcanoes one by one.

In just a moment, the disaster was gone and the sky was clear.

Between heaven and earth, there is only a group of mountains as beautiful as the fairyland of Penglai, located on the sea.

If it weren't for the pungent smell of sulfur lingering between heaven and earth, it would be difficult to tell which one was the mirage?

With the experience of the previous two times, no one cheered. Everyone was waiting to see whether this seal would be effective!
Three breaths... ten breaths... one stick of incense... As time passed, not only did the fire spirit break free from the seal, even the lingering sulfur smell in the air was rapidly fading.

"Done?"

"It should be done!"

"Is this the power of a spiritual weapon? It's truly incredible!"

Soon, whispers were heard, and soon, there was a commotion like thunder. Some people cheered, some were amazed, and some even secretly approached the magic weapon to find out what was inside.

At this time, figures in the air approached Lu Wujiu, either out of curiosity or to greet him.

Lu Wujiu injected his magic power into the Dunxun Mirror, transforming it into a platform with a diameter of ten feet to accommodate the arrival of all the cultivators.

Before long, the Dunxun Mirror was filled with cultivators.

If you look closely, you can see that he is at least a second-class cultivator.

In other words, only those with the second-class cultivation level can cross the void and fly to the Dunxun Mirror.

This scene was seen by all the low-level cultivators and independent cultivators, and they were all extremely envious. The hierarchy of the martial arts world had quietly differentiated at this moment.

Zhengyi Kong Han asked eagerly, "Fellow Daoist Lu, have you successfully sealed the fire spirit?"

Lu Wujiu said, "I will live up to Daoist Fellow Duan's trust. The fire spirit will not be able to break free from the seal for a while."

Fu Li couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't this mean there's still a risk of escaping?"

Lu Wujiu thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to worry. The spiritual weapon has a spirit stationed there, which can absorb and release the water's vital energy from the East China Sea to suppress the fire spirit. The fire spirit will lose the nourishment of the flaming springs in the earth's crust. With this balance, I believe it will take at least a few decades, or even a hundred years, to completely extinguish the remaining fire spirit."

Everyone suddenly understood what was going on: "It sounds like this is similar to the Xuanji Kanyuan Formation in the Eighteen Seas. This is because the formation spirit has been replaced by the instrument spirit."

Lu Wujiu nodded: "Exactly!"

Everyone was not surprised to see that Lu Wujiu understood quite well.

After all, when Lu Wujiu arrived, he acted decisively without saying a word. It was obvious that he had already had private contact with the head of Shenxiao.

It was probably because of the invitation from the headmaster of Shenxiao that he came here at lightning speed, carrying his spiritual weapon.

"Great! The disaster has been resolved, and Fellow Daoist Lu deserves all the credit!"

"I am terrified. This is Daoist Fellow Duan's magical weapon. I am merely using it to observe the heavens. How can I dare to covet this incredible merit?"

After these words were spoken, countless eager eyes turned towards Master Shenxiao.

"Fellow Taoist is righteous!"

"Fellow Daoist, you are truly a true sage! You sacrificed your life for the Dao and then offered your spiritual weapon. You are truly a role model for our generation!"

"..."

Hearing all the compliments, the old face of the Shenxiao Sect Leader flushed red. He felt extremely guilty and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your praise, everyone. This spiritual weapon is only temporarily guarding the place. I dare not take any credit for it! I dare not take any credit for it!"

These humble words, on the contrary, attracted more praise from everyone.

After a while, the headmaster of Shenxiao Sect changed the subject and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, is it possible to hide this spiritual weapon from sight so that it won't be coveted by those with ulterior motives?"

Lu Wujiu nodded: "Okay!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand lightly, and the fairyland-like island of Penglai, which was dozens of miles long, quietly faded away until it disappeared.

The monks who approached stealthily ended up missing.

Some people even went to the place where the volcano erupted, but they could go back and forth without any hindrance. However, they could no longer see the volcano or the trace of Penglai fairyland.

Obviously, this move is not just visual invisibility, but a more advanced concealment.

"As expected of a spiritual weapon, it's truly mysterious! It's almost gone!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"I wonder what kind of spiritual weapon this is?"

On the Dunxun Mirror, all the cultivators were amazed. Those with advanced cultivation could vaguely see a scroll hidden deep in the sea.

A shallow person would find it difficult to see through even the slightest clue.

Faced with the praise from the cultivators, Lu Wujiu smiled without saying anything, and the head of Shenxiao Sect also kept his mouth shut.

The other cultivators thought it was a matter of confidentiality, and since the two were unwilling to answer, they naturally wouldn't bother asking them too much.

However, everyone looked at Lu Wujiu with heated eyes.

The rumors are true!
Lu Wujiu indeed has the ability to refine spiritual weapons.

What excites everyone the most is that the power of this spiritual weapon is beyond imagination.

It can be said that the fire spirit that has stumped countless heroes has become the best footnote to Lu Wujiu's ability in refining weapons.

"Recent rumors in the martial arts world say that Fellow Daoist Lu has refined a spiritual weapon for the Louguan Sect. I was skeptical, but after seeing it today, I can see that it's truly as good as the rumors say!"

"Daoyou is truly a gentleman transformed into a leopard!"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I'm also quite interested in spiritual weapons. I wonder if there are other materials besides the Five Elements Spirit Essence that can be used to refine spiritual weapons?"

For a moment, everyone was either praising or asking questions, and it was extremely lively.

Someone even suggested, "Thanks to Fellow Daoists Duan and Lu for resolving the crisis in the East China Sea today, we should celebrate. My sect's gate is very close to here, why don't we go there?"

Amidst the bustle, Lu Wujiu said with a smile, "I appreciate your kindness, but my spiritual weapon has just sealed the fire essence, so I dare not leave for long. It would be better for me to stay here for a while."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this reason, but they were unwilling to "let Lu Wujiu off" just like that.

After some discussion, they decided to have a small gathering at Shixian Temple on the first day of next month.

After reaching an agreement, the cultivators dispersed in groups of three or two. The low-level cultivators on the sea, seeing these powerful Xuanmen gradually disperse, could only disperse in a hurry while shouting in excitement.

Half a day later, the sea calmed down.

Only a few monks with their own ulterior motives remained, reluctant to leave.

In the air, on the Xun Mirror, only Lu Wujiu and Duan Lan were left.

Duan Lan, who was left alone, could not help but sigh, "This move by Daoist friend is truly a brilliant one. However, placing the spiritual weapon here is likely to attract wolves and wolves. The longer the night, the more trouble there is!"

Lu Wujiu laughed and said, "Who said I used a spiritual weapon?"

Duan Lan was stunned.
