Chapter 196 - 191: Ghost Hero Guan Yu of Jade Spring Mountain
Princess Iron Fan misunderstood Tao Yao and they came to blows, but after a few brothers explained, she finally understood the reason.
The Jade-faced Fox was hidden somewhere neither Ox Demon King nor the brothers disclosed, and no amount of questioning could extract the information. With no other recourse, Princess Iron Fan could only wait at Flower-Fruit Mountain for the Ox Demon King.
Unbeknownst to her, at this time, the Ox Demon King had already stealthily returned to the Cave Moyun at Accumulated Thunder Mountain, and Hu Li accompanied him. Employing a ploy akin to the golden cicada shedding its skin, they reveled in amorous affections within the cave, leaving poor Princess Iron Fan at Flower-Fruit Mountain to await the Ox Demon King in vain!
The Ox Demon King had informants planted at Flower-Fruit Mountain, receiving daily reports, and he planned to return only after Princess Iron Fan had left.
Considering that the woman was still seething with rage, it was best not to provoke her further. Moreover, divorcing her was utterly out of the question—daring to divorce Princess Iron Fan would be tantamount to slapping the face of his patriarch. Could Laojun let him off? Would the Green Ox spare him? Thus, he resolved to return and humbly apologize as soon as her anger subsided.
Hu Li, on the other hand, didn’t mind that the Ox Demon King had a family. Being forlorn and alone, finding a man she liked wasn’t easy. Her only concern was what would happen if she ever faced Princess Iron Fan?
Enlightenment Dao witnessed the Battle of Red Cliffs where Sun-Liu Allied Forces triumphed, and Cao’s Army retreated in major defeat, their vigor significantly damaged. With Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou and never intending to return it, and leveraging the strategic prowess of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, they seized Yi Province, looking towards Western Shu, their power steadily growing.
In ancient times, during the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, dragons and phoenixes were inherently discordant. Zhuge Liang, with the Dragon Encircling fate, and Pang Tong, the fledgling phoenix, were at odds. The mature dragon naturally overpowered the fledgling phoenix, who met an untimely end under a hail of arrows at Falling Phoenix Slope, succumbing to the fate of the dragon-phoenix strife. Nonetheless, possessing either the dragon or phoenix could dominate the world. With Liu Bei still having Zhuge Kongming on his side, it was no surprise that Zhuge Liang, as a disciple of the Human Sage, was invincible. Western Shu was already within their grasp.
Seeing the tripartite division of the realm solidifying, Enlightenment Dao felt at ease. As these individuals were watched over by sages in the shadows, no issue was likely to arise, allowing him to calmly continue his spiritual cultivation and comprehend Hunyuan.
Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal First Layer corresponds with the Tao Fruit Realm, where one fuses Yin and Yang Qi with the True Qi within to forge a Primordial Dao Fruit. Once the fruit is formed, mana naturally undergoes earth-shaking transformations. As the quality of the Primordial Dao Fruit enhances the True Qi, the quantity also substantially increases, far surpassing that of the Daluo Golden Immortal.
The second layer deals with the Laws. At this layer, one must touch upon the Heavenly Dao Laws, understand their mysteries, and then integrate them. Mastery over the Laws allows for adept application. Above that is the Creation Boundary. Those reaching this realm are few and can create amid the void, constructing secret realms; finally, comes the continuous pursuit of understanding the Great Dao, achieving Quasi-Saint, stepping beyond to become a Semi-Saint, and above that is the Saint of Primordial Limitless.
