Sword of the Nine Heavens, the Fall of the Gods

The elder glanced at the God of Land with contempt in his eyes and snorted coldly.

"My last name is Tao, which means sea. I am the owner of this ten-mile peach forest."

"I want the flowers to bloom here, and they will bloom. I want the flowers to wither here, and they will die. But you want to report it to others. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

The God of Land looked the old man in front of him up and down, quickly searching his memory, but he did not recognize him.

"Who are you? Do you know that all flowers in the world bloom in order? Every flower and every grass has its own season. This is the law of nature."

"The Fairy of Flowers leads all the flowers in the world and makes them bloom in order according to the rules."

"The peach blossoms are blooming against the law, which is against the will of heaven. As a landowner, I must report this to her. What's so ridiculous about this?"

The old man shook his head, his eyes deep, "Since you are trying to reason with me, I will argue with you."

"Do you know that many years ago, the owner of this mountain, the Monkey King, caused a riot in the Heavenly Palace?"

The God of Land said, "Of course I know this! So what?"

The old man nodded and said, "Did you know that the Great Sage picked a lot of peaches from the Queen Mother's Peach Garden and brought them back to the Flower-Fruit Mountain? He buried the remaining peach pits in this Ten-Li Peach Garden?"

"Those peach pits grow intermingled with the peach trees here. This peach forest is no longer an ordinary peach forest on earth. How can the Fairy of Flowers take care of these trees in Yaochi?"

Land Gongzheng wanted to retort, but Hu Laoer waved his hand at him.

Looking at the strangely dressed old man in front of him, Hu Lao Er seemed to understand something and laughed:

"Hearing what you said, could it be that you are the spirit of the peach forest here?"

The old man nodded slightly and admitted frankly, "Yes! I am the spiritual power in this forest. I have been cultivated into a human form for more than three hundred years thanks to the immortal power brought by the Great Sage from Yaochi."

The old man glanced at Hu Lao Er and continued, "You and I have lived next door to each other and have lived on the same mountain for so many years. I know you well."

Hu Lao Er laughed and said, "Same here, same here. Since you have already cultivated to a perfect form, why did you let this ten-mile peach forest wither for more than three hundred years? Isn't that a real nuisance?"

A complex emotion flashed across the peach tree fairy's face, and her voice was filled with resentment.

"Back then, I was just a peach tree spirit with nascent intelligence, but I witnessed the catastrophe with my own eyes."

"The iron hooves of the heavenly soldiers and generals crushed the tranquility of the Flower-Fruit Mountain. Thunder and fire raged, turning this vibrant peach forest into scorched earth."

"Although I survived by chance, the shadow of the disaster still lingers in my mind."

"The Great Sage's monkeys and descendants, as well as the spiritual forces in the mountain, all suffered, and the peach forest was also burned by thunder and fire."

"I was struck by lightning and my life was hanging by a thread. Fortunately, Daoist Master Nanhua passed by and saved me, so I was spared."

"Today, in order to refine the immortal medicine, the Taoist Master specially granted me the immortal method to make this peach forest revive and bloom."

"The Taoist's celestial riders will come to collect nectar soon, so let's go back to avoid any disturbance."

As they listened to the peach tree spirit's narration, the expressions on everyone's faces gradually became solemn.

Imagining the severity of the disaster, I couldn't help but feel compassion in my heart.

Hu Lao Er asked softly, "Nanhua Daozun, is he the legendary Zhuang Zhou saint?"

The peach tree fairy nodded proudly, her eyes sparkling with admiration for her savior.

"It is the saint who is detached from the world and free and at ease."

Hu Laoer nodded and was about to speak when Yingying's exclamation suddenly reached everyone's ears.

"Look, what is that?"

Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and saw a huge butterfly flying towards them not far away.

Behind it, there is a group of colorful butterflies of various sizes.

The leading butterfly is called the Colorful Swallowtail Butterfly. Its wingspan is more than three meters long and its body is ten meters high.

Its head was actually a human head.

The group of butterflies sparkled with beautiful colors in the sun, like a flowing colorful painting.

Their arrival made everyone hold their breath.

The peach tree fairy hurried forward to greet him, with a respectful and humble attitude.

"Brother Die, I have been waiting here for a long time. Please come down and have a chat."

The Colorful Swallowtail Butterfly shook his head and said, "Brother Tao, I came here to collect honey on the orders of the Taoist Master. I am very busy. I will talk to you in detail after I complete the task."

Afterwards, the colorful swallowtail butterfly took the lead and flew into the peach forest, followed by countless colorful butterflies that began to dance.

Everyone was attracted by the beautiful scenery before their eyes and was completely immersed in this dreamlike picture.

When everyone was intoxicated.

Suddenly, a deafening roar suddenly sounded, breaking the silence around.

A majestic Qilin appeared in everyone's sight, followed by a group of ferocious wild beasts, whose roars shook the surrounding area.

The Qilin was covered in blue scales, with purple-gold limbs, and looked majestic and murderous.

Behind the Qilin, dust was flying, and a group of ferocious beasts such as tigers, leopards, lions, wolves, bears, jackals and others followed closely behind.

The Qilin, who was leading the group, stared at the peach forest and raised his front paw. All the beasts stopped and roared wildly at the sky above the peach forest.

The God of Land shouted in surprise: "Qilin? How could this ancient beast appear here?"

Hu Lao Er also felt incredible: "The arrival of the auspicious beast must be auspicious. Is something big going to happen in Huaguo Mountain?"

Supreme Jade observed the Qilin calmly, frowning slightly: "Although it is an auspicious beast, judging from its aggressive aura, I'm afraid it is not a good sign."

Hu Lao Er nodded in agreement: "Indeed, they seem to be coming for the group of butterflies. What's the matter?"

Looking at the Qilin, the God of Land was puzzled: "Why is the color of this Qilin so strange?"

"According to ancient records, this is a Qilin called Blue Lightning Purple Lightning. It has a body of fine steel and black jade, and can change color as needed."

Zhizun Yu pondered for a moment and said to the God of Land.

"When its entire body is indigo, it can spray ice; when it is purple-gold, it can spray black flames. This fire is extremely difficult to deal with, and only rootless water can extinguish it."

"Rootless water?"

The second brother looked at Supreme Jade in astonishment, "Is this rootless water rain, snow, urine or something like that?"

Supreme Jade nodded: "Exactly!"

While everyone was discussing, the Colorful Swallowtail Butterfly led the other butterflies out of the peach forest and confronted the Qilin.

"You bastard, I spared your life last time, but you come to provoke me again today. What do you want to do?"

Qilin roared in response, his voice full of resentment.

"You worm! You stole my Sky-Stepping Grass last time on Sanshan Island, and I can't fly in the air until now. Today, I come to seek revenge on you."

The swallowtail butterfly looked at Qilin and laughed.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. You've become more and more useless. It's ridiculous."

"If it weren't for the host of the Qilin saving you last time on Sanshan Island, you would not be here today? How could you be my enemy?"

"Besides, you are a beast to begin with. The grass is useless to you. It is only natural for me to take it."

Qilin was extremely angry and roared, "You worm freak, you stole my treasure and are still trying to make excuses. Today I will let you see how powerful I am."

As it spoke, it shook its head three times.

In an instant, his entire body turned indigo blue, and he opened his big mouth, spewing out thousands of streams of ice.

The swallowtail butterfly hurriedly shouted: "Be careful", but it was still a little too late.
