Chapter 116: Jade Tower and Golden Hairpin: Discussion on the South Sea
Nuwa was filled with shame and anger. Originally, she wanted to tidy up her clothes first and then come to the Zixiao Palace. However, the battle with Houtu Xuanming was too intense, and even she could not be distracted. As a result, she was seen in a miserable state by many of her friends.

"How dare you, two sluts, embarrass me like this? I'll teach you a lesson later!"

Nuwa thought to herself, but she shook her head repeatedly: "Nothing, it's just a coincidence that I met the Twelve Ancestral Witches in the Primal Chaos. It's the fellow Taoists who came early and got here before me."

The other people all tacitly changed the subject and started talking about other interesting things.

The other five emperors also repeated the same thing, but Taiyi's face was still filled with anger, and the Chaos Bell in his hand was shaking with the mood of its owner, as if the next moment it would burst out again with the mighty bell sound that would resound throughout the universe.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches also looked uncomfortable. The dragons and snakes under their feet were almost all dead or maimed. Hou Tu, who also had a human head and a snake body, had all seven arms broken. Her face, which seemed to always be compassionate, was blue and purple, as if it had been hit hard by something heavy.

Hengming immediately knew that Houtu was facing off against Nuwa. Apart from Nuwa's Creation Furnace, there was really no other magical treasure that could cause such rough damage, which was in sharp contrast to Nuwa's appearance.

Di Jiang roared, and the six wings on his back flapped continuously, as if they would start traveling through space in the next moment. The five red pupils on Zhu Jiuyin's face slowly opened, and all the gods present felt that the flow of time seemed to have suddenly increased by thousands of times. Even though they were in chaos and the avenue was confused, the power of time began to erupt continuously.

The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are all present, with wind, rain, thunder and lightning constantly coming, and poisonous gas rising into the sky, killing all beings, whether visible or invisible, tangible or intangible.

Di Jun showed no sign of weakness. With a thought, the two spiritual treasures, a picture and a book, emitted ghostly light and continued to rise. The black lines and white dots, and the white lines and black dots continued to intertwine. In the blink of an eye, a magical formation like a tiny primitive world was set up, which enveloped the five of them and the twelve ancestor witches.

Laozi saw the Hunyuan Heluo Formation from the side, his eyes narrowed slightly, and two streams of white gas came out of his nose. The gas shook slightly, and actually formed a Hunyuan Heluo Formation as well. Unfortunately, it dissipated the next moment because it could not withstand the huge pressure.

Heng Ming watched it clearly from the side and thought to himself, "Could this be the Yin-Yang Micro-Dust Formation? It seems to be just a prototype. I didn't expect that I got the inspiration from the Hunyuan Heluo Formation."

There are countless ancient formations. Apart from the four most famous formations, the most memorable one is the Yin-Yang Microdust Formation created by Lao Tzu.

It is said that the Liang Yi Micro Dust Array is as small as a speck of dust once it is set up, but it contains the vastness of the ancient world. This array has six gates: life and death, darkness and light, illusion and destruction. It guides the innate yin and yang qi and evolves the power of the five elements. If you take a wrong step, you will be turned into clear air and your body and soul will be destroyed. If the Tai Chi diagram is used as the eye of the array, then the door of life will be turned into the door of extinction, and the glimmer of life will disappear. You will die and there will be no life. All directions will be destroyed.

Laozi finally passed this formation to Changmei Zhenren, and Changmei Zhenren naturally set it up on Mount Shu. This is why no one dared to invade Mount Shu for so many years.

Seeing that Di Jun had already used the Hunyuan Heluo Formation, Nuwa could only sigh inwardly, hurriedly apologized to the people around her, and then turned into a ray of divine light and drilled into it.

Although she was not on good terms with Di Juntai and was also very cold towards Chang Xi, she was Empress Nuwa, one of the Six Emperors of Heaven after all. When the others had gone up, how could she stay by and be safe and sound? She could only hold her nose and work together with them.

Seeing that a war was about to break out again, the boy Haotian suddenly opened the door of Zixiao Palace, holding a small white jade tower with thirty-six floors in his hand.

There is not a single flaw on the entire tower; all the details are lifelike and breathtaking, especially the various wonderful murals carved on the tower, which give people a strange feeling, as if they are always moving and can encompass the heaven and earth.

The Fairy Girl of Yao Chi followed closely behind, holding a golden hairpin in her hand, with a faint white light coming out of the tip of the hairpin. If someone looked closely, they would find that there were countless stars contained in the white light. These stars were flowing like river water, with unimaginable power.

And this galaxy is just a ray of white light on the golden hairpin.

At the same time, Haotian Yaochi sacrificed the magic treasure in his hand and smashed it hard at the Hunyuan Heluo formation. The small white jade tower spun above the formation and instantly broke the blockade of the Hetu Luoshu, revealing a dozen people who were fighting fiercely inside.

With a casual stroke of the golden hairpin, a vast galaxy suddenly blocked the Six Emperors of Heaven and the Twelve Ancestral Witches. The vast stars kept surging like a river, and every collision stirred up endless stardust, making it impossible for them to cross the line even a single step.

Haotian said loudly: "Teacher is about to give a sermon, please do not quarrel or fight in front of Zixiao Palace. If you disobey, Junior Sister Yaochi and I will not show mercy."

The small white jade tower and the golden hairpin returned to Haotian Yaochi's hands. This alone was enough to make all the gods present dare not underestimate these two people. A random blow could break the River Map and Luoshu and separate the rulers of the two races of witches and liches, making some gods who looked down on these two boys break out in a cold sweat.

"Fortunately, we didn't make things difficult for them before, otherwise they would have killed us with just one random blow."

Some great gods were very lucky. Zhunti even stepped forward and said with a smile: "Since we are all listening to the teachings of Saint Hongjun, the saint is our teacher. The two junior brothers and sisters have good cultivation, which shows that the saint also has a lot of pity for the two junior brothers and sisters."

He has never looked down on Haotian Yaochi. Although the two of them are just boys and servants, one has to look at whose boys they are and who they serve. This is Hongjun's boy, serving Hongjun every day. How can they look down on him?

So what he said now was almost like flattery.

Haotian nodded slightly and said, "Brother, you are too kind. It is only because of the guidance of the saint that I have achieved my current level of cultivation."

Naturally, Zhunti praised them highly, wishing that all the words of praise in the world would be bestowed on Haotian Yaochi. She praised the two of them until their faces turned red. After all, how could two boys who had been staying in Zixiao Palace for so many years withstand such praise? Naturally, they were delighted and could not keep a cold expression.

The fight was fierce here, but the Three Pure Ones frowned slightly when they saw this. They did not object to what Zhunti said about being a saint's disciple, after all, it was true, but they were extremely disgusted with Zhunti calling Haotian Yaochi his junior brother and sister.

These two are just boys and girls. What qualifications do they have to call them brothers? Although Haotian Yaochi's move just now shocked many great gods, it definitely did not include the Three Pure Ones. After all, they asked themselves that if they took action themselves, they could do the same, or even more easily, so they would not take these two people seriously.

Among them, Yuanshi Tianzun is the most outstanding.

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly, but didn't say much in the end. After all, he was also concerned about the authority of the saint and didn't dare to say anything disrespectful to the saint in front of the Zixiao Palace.

Hengming stood aside with a smile on his face. He just greeted Nuwa and then said nothing more.

Haotian, who was talking to Zhun Tiao, suddenly became serious. He put away the small white jade tower in his hand, then picked up a golden bell and knocked it gently. The sound of the bell resounded throughout the chaotic land thousands of miles in radius. Yao Chi said solemnly: "The teacher is about to start. Please take a seat, brothers and sisters."

The two of them stood on the left and right sides of the gate, and countless gods suddenly poured into the Zixiao Palace. Sanqing, Hengming, Nuwa, Zhunti, and Jie Yin were naturally sitting on the seven cushions in the front. Di Jun glared at the Twelve Ancestral Witches hatefully, and then he also led the demon gods into the Zixiao Palace.

After so many years, Hengming's horizons have improved a lot compared to before, and he has begun to teach sentient beings personally. Looking at the many Taoist treasures in the Zixiao Palace, he has also figured out some good ideas on how to teach sentient beings.

But Yingzhou Island started too late and there were too few living creatures gathered there. Even if he had these good ideas, there was no place to put them into practice.

"Kunlun Mountain sits on the Eastern ancestral vein. It is a place where luck is condensed and there is no shortage of various talents and beautiful jades. That is why the Three Pure Ones can separate twelve areas based on the spiritual energy. Only the most outstanding creatures can enter Kunlun Mountain to listen to the teachings—"

Heng Ming groaned, "But I can't. Although Yingzhou Island is located in the South China Sea and has more territory than the area near Kunlun Mountain, the Four Seas are too vast. The various geniuses may not be inferior to those in the East, but they are too widely distributed. Even if I announce it to the Four Seas, it will be difficult to attract too many geniuses to come to Yingzhou Island to listen to the teachings.

What's more, there is the Immortal Court competing with me for outstanding disciples. Should I go for quality or quantity? But no matter whether it is quality or quantity, I need a larger territory. Let's solve this problem first."

Hengming has long regarded the South China Sea as his own private territory and would not allow others to compete with him for it. However, the South China Sea alone is not enough, he needs a larger territory.

But the Three Pure Ones left behind an island called Xuanzhou on the West Sea. Although they had not thought of developing overseas power, they could not rashly invade the West Sea. Needless to say, the East Sea was occupied by the Dragon Clan and the Immortal Court, so there was no more place for him to take. The only one left was the North Sea where Hengming could plot something.

There used to be a great god called Xuanwu in the North Sea. This great god had profound cultivation, even not inferior to Zhulong. Naturally, no one dared to offend the North Sea. However, since Xuanwu voluntarily transformed into the sacred beast of the north and fled to the North Pole, the North Sea has completely become a no-man's land.

The dragon clan wants to take care of it, but their power is too weak. Even if Zhulong is willing to occupy the North Sea, the dragon clan does not have enough energy to watch over it, so they can only sigh in despair.

The Immortal Court wants to take charge, but it is inferior to the Dragon Clan. Before, it could only rely on the Dragon Clan to survive above the East China Sea. Although it now has Penglai Island and other blessed places as the Immortal Court's base camp, the time of occupation was too short, and the Immortal Court has not yet developed more new forces.

Originally, Kunpeng was most likely to succeed Xuanwu as the new generation Lord of the North Sea. Unfortunately, Kunpeng finally chose to join the Heavenly Court and became a demon master. He had to go to heaven from time to time to face various trivial matters. In the end, he could only designate the North Sea as the sphere of influence of the Demon Master Palace, and he had no energy to govern other places.

This gave Hengming a good opportunity to take action.
