Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1172 541: The Perfect Assist

Gong Wanqing's mind was hazy, and as she looked down, she saw her heart had already been taken by Chen Yindou. Realizing the dire situation, she immediately fled.

Under the siege of two immortals, she had little chance of victory.

Little Dun Fairy and Chen Yindou, one from the Harmonization Temple, the other a Corpse Resolving Immortal, though both immortals, neither were normal Heavenly Immortals. Yet both possessed supreme bloodlines of the Great Shang Witch Clan, and had honed their strength through countless battles with demonic disasters.

The two attacked from front and back. If it were any other Heavenly Dao immortal, they might have met their end long ago. But she practiced the Creation Technique she comprehended from Chen Yindou and the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace; her skills were truly astounding.

Her wound stopped bleeding instantly, the Creation Dao Power activated, regenerating her heart!

Her brain, nearly turned to mush, was also being restructured and regenerated, with the liquefied brain matter flowing out through her nasal cavity.

However, what horrified her most was the Phoenix Strange Fire that Little Dun Fairy had invaded her with. It was neither Mortal Fire nor Divine Fire nor Samadhi True Fire. This flame was not within the Five Elements, nor in the realm of Yin Yang, but a strange fire used by a phoenix to incinerate itself during rebirth.

This fire drilled into her body along her arm, instantly igniting her Primordial Spirit.

She was an immortal of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, although just from the Harmonization True God Dojo, but in terms of mana, she was far more profound than Little Dun Fairy and Chen Yindou. Yet this Phoenix Strange Fire, regardless of cultivation level, once lit, would burn unextinguished!

Even though she was proficient in the Creation Technique, she could hardly suppress it!

"As long as I can escape to the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace, I can use the Immortal Furnace to refine away this fire!"

As she fled, Chen Yindou had already thrown the Dragon-locking Whip, lashing it onto her, instantly splitting her skin and flesh.

Little Dun Fairy waved her sleeve, and countless black strange fires formed feathered swords behind her, with hundreds of feathered swords slashing down.

Gong Wanqing dodged the feathered swords of the strange fire, and with a tearing sound, a large piece of skin and flesh on her back was torn away by the Dragon-locking Whip.

Previously, she had relied on this kind of magical treasure to capture Chen Yindou. Chen Yindou had transformed into a teenager to seek her. At that time, she was in Qiankun Valley, operating the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace. Upon seeing this teenager, her heart was stirred, she knew it was Chen Yindou, so she led him into Luohua Palace and captured him while he was off-guard.

Now Chen Yindou used the Dragon-locking Whip to bind her, and only then did she understand the pain.

She continued to rush forward, the black phoenix behind Little Dun Fairy spread its wings and flew towards her.

Gong Wanqing, having suffered from the Phoenix Strange Fire, didn't dare to confront it directly and hurriedly dodged. Her movement technique was undeniably marvelous, but in the position she evaded to, Chen Yindou's other Dragon-locking Whip happened to sweep in.

"Snap!"

The Dragon-locking Whip wrapped around her waist, tearing off a large piece of her skin and flesh.

She panicked in her heart: "Chen Yindou knows all my techniques! Only then could he accurately strike my landing spot with the Dragon-locking Whip!"

In the past, the three of them researched the Creation Technique together, and Chen Yindou imparted all of his learnings and insights to her, and she likewise shared all of hers with him.

Back then, she used this information to tell Immortal Xue about Chen Yindou's Daoist Divine Powers, allowing Immortal Xue to break Chen Yindou's techniques. Now Chen Yindou was using the techniques Gong Wanqing had taught him back then to deal with her.

Little Dun Fairy closed in to kill, and in the short span of a few moments in Luohua Palace, the three exchanged dozens of moves swiftly and fiercely.

When Fairy Gong landed, she stumbled, her whole body drenched in blood, and there was hardly an intact piece of flesh.

Suddenly a raging strange fire ignited inside her, causing her to cry out in alarm and forcefully rush out.

Chen Yindou killed from behind, with one finger pointed at the back of her head, shattering her Immortal Body.

Fairy Gong immediately felt unable to suppress the strange fire, and the black flames burned from inside to out, quickly turning her into a person of fire!

"She can't be killed just yet!"

Chen Yindou, covered in blood, approached with hate in his eyes and tightly bound Fairy Gong with four Dragon-locking Whips, saying in a deep voice, "If she dies, the Life Lamp will extinguish, and the harmonized small world within the True God Dojo will return to normal, and it will be discovered."

Little Dun Fairy slightly adjusted the intensity of the fire and said, "Grandfather, how long should it burn before she dies?"

"Two days," replied Chen Yindou.

Little Dun Fairy extracted a portion of the strange fire from Gong Wanqing, saying, "This fire is enough to burn for two days. If she still doesn't die in two days, then we'll have to ask Grandfather to take action."

Chen Yindou nodded gently and said, "Thank you. As for the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace, I entrust it to you."

Little Dun Fairy walked out, and behind the curtain, Wen Wuyu was still standing there, dazed. Seeing her coming, he came back to his senses.

Just now, she was still shocked by the revelations in the words between Gong Wanqing and Chen Yindou, horrified by the actions of Gong Wanqing, the pure and virtuous fairy, and didn't expect "Brother Little Ten" to charge out with such swift and ruthless intent against Fairy Gong.

What shocked her even more was, in just an instant, Fairy Gong was already severely injured by them, and it would only take two days to be burned to death by strange fire.

"Brother Little Ten's actions are so ruthless and decisive!" she thought to herself.

However, she also felt immensely guilty. They had captured Gong Wanqing—the enemy of Despair Slope, and hence, her enemy as well. Should she report Brother Little Ten?

"If I do, wouldn't I become another Gong Wanqing?"

Wen Wuyu shook her head.

She was lost in thought when Little Dun Fairy walked up to her, her form gradually changing from that of an eight or nine-year-old girl into the intelligent and graceful appearance of Gong Wanqing. Even her clothes transformed into those of Gong Wanqing, evidently indicating that her attire was no ordinary garment, but rather a changeable Immortal Clothes.

"Wuyu, do I look like her?" Little Dun Fairy asked.

Wen Wuyu quickly regained composure, carefully examining her "lover", and praised, "Little Ten brother, your observation is so meticulous, your imitation is perfect. Even your voice is very similar!"

Every gesture and every smile of Little Dun Fairy carried Gong Wanqing's bearing, and she was like a transcendent fairy, making Wen Wuyu feel that her temperament surpassed even that of Gong Wanqing herself.

Little Dun Fairy walked outside the palace, and Wen Wuyu quickly followed her, whispering with a smile, "Little Ten brother, since Fairy Gong is so wicked, of course, I stand by your side. But the power at Despair Slope is far beyond your reach, and the Heavenly Venerate is simply unfathomable. Let me help you leave."

Little Dun Fairy shook her head and said, "I can't leave right now."

"What else do you need to do?" Wen Wuyu asked, puzzled.

Little Dun Fairy stopped, looked at her, and earnestly said, "I must stay here and seize the opportunity to sabotage the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace. Even if I can't destroy the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace, I must ensure that this batch of Heavenly Soldiers cannot be forged."

Wen Wuyu felt quite sad upon hearing this: "You will die. All of you will die. Despair Slope is too powerful, so powerful that it's despairing..."

"So what?"

Little Dun Fairy said indifferently, "If we do nothing, we will just wait for the Heavenly Venerate to descend and wipe us out. Acting now at least gives us a fighting chance. Wuyu."

She raised her hand, her fingers gently brushed from the corner of Wen Wuyu's eyes to her temple, softly tucking a few strands of her disheveled hair behind her ear, and said warmly, "I hope that, like my grandpa, I can have a girl who would abandon everything and come with me from Despair Slope without hesitation. In the future, when I tell our children about this, my eyes will only shine with happiness and joy, with no regrets of emptiness."

A string in Wen Wuyu's heart was plucked, as if she had lost all resistance. She couldn't help but lean into her embrace, quickly kissed her lips, and gently said, "I'll do whatever you say."

Little Dun Fairy was taken aback, yet, as if driven by an unseen force, she held her, sighing quietly to herself, "I'm too strong. But it's a pity I'm merely a daughter... Wait a minute! She takes me for my husband, meaning I've made a rival completely devoted to my husband?"

She blinked and released Wen Wuyu, feeling a bit of a headache.

Wen Wuyu's heart was a fluttering deer, thinking to herself, "Is my relationship with Little Ten brother progressing too fast?"

The two of them talked as they walked towards the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace.

Along the way, Little Dun Fairy explained the true identity of the Heavenly Venerate, informing her that Feng Ruotong, Immortal Kou, and other Heavenly Dao Immortals had all perished at the hands of the Heavenly Venerate. Wen Wuyu was stunned, yet she had no choice but to believe.

"If we can't sabotage this batch of Heavenly Soldiers, then we'll truly have no hope left." Little Dun Fairy said calmly.

"But Little Ten brother must have a way!" Wen Wuyu's gaze was even more resolute than hers.

"I could take her body right now!"

Little Dun Fairy sighed inwardly, "Alas, despite having all these skills, I have no battlefield to deploy them."

The two arrived under the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace, where Little Dun Fairy sat down. Wen Wuyu sat next to her, mimicking her posture, and began to operate this enormous furnace.

"The husband has not yet awakened."

Little Dun Fairy was secretly anxious, thinking, "What should I do now? Right, I should inject my Great Shang's Phoenix Strange Fire into the furnace to destroy those Heavenly Soldiers that are about to form!"

Just as she came up with this, she noticed another cultivator beside her.

Upon seeing her, the cultivator quickly bowed and said, "Zhuang Wujiu greets Fairy Gong."

Wen Wuyu asked in surprise, "Zhuang Wujiu, where have you been these past few years?"

Zhuang Wujiu said with chagrin, "My master has passed away. I've been traveling east and west during this time, searching for the murderer who killed my master."

Wen Wuyu inquired, "Who is the murderer of your master?"

Zhuang Wujiu, his face filled with evil qi, gritted his teeth, and spat out each word with boundless hatred, "Chen! Tang!"

Little Dun Fairy glanced at Zhuang Wujiu and thought to herself, "This Zhuang Wujiu must be Uncle Xiao Wu. Uncle Xiao Wu is obviously the most favored one, yet I don't know why he's always at odds with my father-in-law. His presence must also be to deal with this batch of Heavenly Soldiers."

The furnace exuded waves of Immortal Might, and Little Dun Fairy hesitated, unsure if her Strange Fire could destroy the Heavenly Soldiers inside the furnace.

Just then, Zhong Wuwang passed by and caught a distant glimpse of Zhuang Wujiu, startling him: "Wasn't he already dead? Ah, it's Creation Little Five! I hope he doesn't cause trouble, otherwise, I might get implicated."

These past two days, he's been on edge.

He had led Chen Shi and others into Despair Slope, constantly feeling they harbored ill intentions, yet nothing had happened over the last two days, strangely quiet.

"Shouldn't Chen Shi and they dare to cause trouble, right?"

Zhong Wuwang thought, "After all, with the Heavenly Venerate overseeing here, if they stir up trouble, it will only lead to a dead end! Don't cause trouble, please don't cause trouble!"

With a smile on his face, chanting to himself, he was about to leave.

At that moment, the fires of the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace abruptly turned black.

Little Dun Fairy had already made her move first!
