Chapter 85

In the midst of the cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

Feng Ye stood at the entrance of the classroom, took a deep breath, and firmly held the golden talisman with the imperial seal that he had just received. He had not yet had the chance to use it to cast a spell and bring down the rain. Soon after, the golden silk with the heavenly decree arrived. Upon unfolding it, Feng Ye could not help but smile wryly.

Because, on the back of the golden silk, there was a line of small characters: "When did you learn the password to my private treasury? I'll settle accounts with you when I get back!"

Feng Ye touched his nose and casually took out his divine duty jade token. The golden silk immediately transformed into a beam of golden light and fell into the token, and the original divine seal on the token also changed. Two more divine seals appeared beside the original golden divine seal.

The title "Huangyuan Lingxiao Xuanchen Tianjun" sounded impressive, with a six-character title and a high status, but the actual power was not much. At most, it was the position of an envoy of the Great Emperor Taihao, a direct subordinate of the Heavenly Emperor, and a supporting deity. However, for Feng Ye, who practiced the path of immortality, this divine position was not very useful, and he did not care much about it. Using the name of Taihao to act conveniently was enough. After all, Hou Tu also treated Feng Ye with great courtesy, wasn't it for the sake of Fuxi?

But having an additional powerful divine duty was different. There would be many things to do in the future, and he really didn't want to be bothered! Feng Ye couldn't help but shake his head.

However, this divine duty was quite good. Controlling the clouds and rain was one thing, but when combined with the duty of the four seasons, it was something else. The spring breeze, summer rain, autumn frost, and winter snow all belonged to the category of cloud and rain. Combined with the rotation of the four seasons, all four seasons of the year would be under Feng Ye's control. This divine duty was too broad, and the growth of plants in spring and summer, the harvest in autumn, and the burial in winter, as well as the growth of all living things throughout the four seasons, would all be within Feng Ye's grasp.

This power was immense. If Feng Ye did not want to become an immortal, just developing this divine duty and obtaining the divine authorization of the Heavenly Dao, he would become an extremely powerful Great Luo Venerable God in the future, and could even advance further to the realm of the Mixed Yuan Dao.

Don't forget, Mang, Ruxiu, Zhurong, and Xuanming are the gods of the four seasons, and they are still divided, not unified. Although these four hold the divine duties of the four seasons as auxiliary roles and also control the Five Elements, Xuanming, as the god of rain and winter, even with the duty of winter death, was only on par with Feng Ye, and Feng Ye's divine power was even a bit higher than Xuanming's.

Forget it, don't think too much, focus on the present. Having obtained the divine duty of the four seasons, Feng Ye no longer just wanted to bring down a rain. With the divine duty of the four seasons, he just needed to change the seasons within a thousand miles.

Using the jade token to activate the divine duty, a blue-white divine power instantly emerged from the token, and the heavens and earth changed. The scorching summer day turned into a severe winter, and large snowflakes began to fall.

The true fire of the sun was indeed powerful, but the snow Feng Ye summoned through his divine duty was not ordinary snow. It carried Feng Ye's magical power and the power of the Heavenly Dao. The snow fell heavily, freezing a thousand miles, and all things were buried in winter. The only water in the Yunmeng Marsh was directly frozen. In this way, the aquatic creatures under the ice could be preserved and would not be burned to death like their unfortunate counterparts.

Well, in the future, this would be a sumptuous roasted fish feast.

Such a strange change naturally enraged the fire crows. They looked around and finally discovered Feng Ye's hiding place. However, Feng Ye no longer expected to hide. The battlefield had changed, and the icy and snowy environment was not the fire crows' forte.

Feng Ye raised the Taiji talisman, and white light shot out from it, falling into the large snowflakes. The snowflakes were imprinted with ice, water, cold, and yin attribute talismans. Then, Feng Ye recited the spell, and a strong wind suddenly arose, blowing the snowflakes with the talismans into a formation that enveloped Feng Ye and the hundred fire crows. This made it much easier to deal with them.

Feng Ye felt a bit more at ease and prepared to cast a spell to fight. This was Feng Ye's usual habit: think of failure before victory, and never fight without a sure win. From the beginning, he wanted to gain every possible advantage and use these advantages to overwhelm the opponent.

As for fights without a sure win, except for the defense of the Dao, which must be fought, all others should be abandoned. Everything should be fought for a line, and just for the sake of face, it was not worth it. For Feng Ye, who had already reached the Taiyi realm with an immeasurable lifespan, why bother to fight and show off?

With that spare time, it would be better to "sit quietly in the cave, read a few volumes of the Yellow Court, lie on the cloud terrace, and laugh at the world's changing winds and clouds" and live a carefree and free life.

What is the purpose of cultivation? It is for longevity and the pursuit of the Dao, not to show off and argue over trivial matters, leading to a fight to the death. Is it worth it?

As for the protective Dao skills, they are essentially for protecting oneself and one's Dao. If one were to sacrifice the essence for the sake of these skills, it would be a loss. Isn't there a saying that skills cannot surpass the Heavenly Dao? The examples of the various witch ancestors are right there!

When the Heavenly Snow Mystic Cold Formation was completed, Feng Ye let out a sigh of relief. However, he did not dare to underestimate the fire crows. After all, even though the hundred fire crows were weakened by the formation, how weak could they be? Individually, those fire crows were no match for Feng Ye, but when combined, they were a different story, and Feng Ye had to temporarily avoid their sharp edge.

Of course, the fire crows also understood this. Seeing the changes in the formation, all the fire crows gathered into a large fireball, constantly rotating, trying to break through the formation.

The talismans imprinted on the snowflakes were only temporary and could not compare to those carefully refined by Feng Ye. When illuminated by the true fire of the sun, they began to melt.

The Great Sun Dharma Body? Feng Ye raised an eyebrow. After all, they are of the lineage of Di Jun, and they use the sun's skills quite well. However, if it were so easy to deal with, Feng Ye would not have set up this formation.

Feng Ye threw out the Taiji talisman as the mainstay of the formation. With the spiritual treasure suppressing the formation, it immediately stabilized. Then, Feng Ye took action.

Change the heavens and the earth! The environment within the formation changed. The falling snow gradually formed into ice mountains.

"The Arctic Ice Region"

The ice mountains, along with the frozen water of the Yunmeng Marsh, were like the Arctic world on Earth. Among the ice mountains, ten of the highest ice mountains served as the ten pillars supporting the formation.

Seeing the change in the formation, the Great Sun Dharma Body suddenly shot out fire snakes to burn one of the ice mountain pillars. The ice mountain, illuminated by the true fire of the sun, turned red and began to melt. However, just as the ice mountain was halfway melted, the other nine ice mountains suddenly exerted their power, and nine ice dragons flew out from the ice mountains, landing on the melting ice mountain. The ice mountain, receiving the power of the nine dragons, instantly returned to its original state.

"Destroy all ten directions?" A wave of energy came from the Great Sun Dharma Body.

Can it speak? Feng Ye was taken aback. Is it a collective will or is one of the fire crows leading? However, Feng Ye then coldly laughed, "What if you know? Indeed, this is 'Destroy all ten directions!' Based on the ten heavenly stems, your lineage of the sun is proficient in this, right? Why don't you try to break this formation?"

The light wheel around the Great Sun Dharma Body wavered, and it seemed that the one inside was not calm. "Since that's the case, I'll break it for you!" Suddenly, another voice came from the Great Sun Dharma Body, sounding majestic and deep.

Di Jun!? No! It should just be a residual mental imprint, gathered by these fire crows.

But the method to break the formation—before Feng Ye could finish thinking, the Great Sun moved. Suddenly, the Great Sun Dharma Body split into ten smaller fireballs, arranging themselves according to the order of the ten heavenly stems.

Feng Ye laughed, as if he saw the light of victory. What if it's Di Jun's consciousness? Indeed, it was unexpected, but as the essence of the sun god Di Jun, the fire crows would naturally have some of Di Jun's unique skills, which Feng Ye had anticipated. Knowing the method to break the formation was also normal, after all, it was originally a skill of the sun lineage.

To break the formation, all ten ice mountain pillars must be destroyed simultaneously. In this way, the Dharma Body would have to divide its power, which was the timing Feng Ye was waiting for!

Before the ten Dharma Bodies could fully gather their strength to break the ice mountains, the snow, which had slowed down, suddenly intensified, filling the entire formation. The wind and snow separated the ten fireballs. Feng Ye threw out the Nine Palace Luo Book, wrapping one of the fireballs, and the Luo Book transformed into a Nine Palace Formation, trapping it. Without the connection of one fireball, the remaining nine Dharma Bodies could not break the formation.

Although the fire crows did not have true intelligence, they were quite human-like. Although they did not initially see through Feng Ye's诱导 to divide their strength, they now realized it after ten of their companions were suppressed. They immediately gathered together, preparing to re-form the Great Sun Dharma Body.

Although they were ten fewer, ninety fire crows working together were still formidable and could protect themselves. However, with Feng Ye having the upper hand, how could he give them a chance to turn the tide? Secretly raising the Ten Thousand Crow Pot, he aimed at one of the fireballs, and a red cloud of gas emerged, drawing the fireball into the pot. Another ten fire crows were gone. The remaining eighty, working together, were only at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, not a significant force. Even if they worked together, it would be the same. Feng Ye would continue to use the same method.

After another hour, the dust settled, and all the fire crows were drawn into the Ten Thousand Crow Pot, and the Heavenly Snow Formation dissipated.

Without the fire crows, Feng Ye no longer needed to maintain the icy and snowy environment. He took out the jade token again, withdrew his divine power, and the Yunmeng Marsh returned to its original state.

However, the scene was desolate, with scorched earth everywhere. The destructive power of the fire crows was indeed great. Feng Ye frowned, scanned the surroundings with his divine sense, and picked up the divine duty jade token again, beginning to change the environment. The animals and living beings were beyond his ability to revive, and he could only hope that nature would heal itself in the future. However, the seeds and roots of the plants were still there, and they could recover to some extent.

Spring, when all things sprout and revive, everything starts anew. Summer, when all things grow and flourish, and then reach their peak and decline. Autumn, with the bleak wind, everything begins to wither. Until winter, when the snow covers the earth and everything goes to sleep, preparing for the next year's life.

Using his divine power, the four seasons rotated five times, and even Feng Ye's Taiyi power could not sustain it. Stumbling, he saw that the Yunmeng Marsh had somewhat recovered, with plants growing again and the water replenished. He found a place nearby and began to meditate and rest.
