The mountains and rivers were all incorporated into the painting, forming a majestic landscape painting with thick peaks and strong montum. Under the overlapping mountains, a dragon shadow could be vaguely seen coiling around the earth, its head and tail difficult to discern, yet it was firmly suppressed beneath the towering mountains.
This, of course, was the Great Venerable.
Jiang Li's figure traversed through space, growing from small to large, landing on a large pit.
This was the stone beach from before. Since large tracts of land were absorbed into the Map of Mountains and Rivers, the splendid scenery had turned into a huge pit, and the sound of flowing water could be heard from afar, indicating that the severed stream was pouring into the pit.
Not far in front of Jiang Li, a scroll with deep symbols unfolded in mid-air, and it was bound in all directions by invisible chains that held it in place.
"Can't you just put that painting away?"
Sun Wukong landed on the ground, scratching his cheek as he spoke, looking at the opened scroll.
"Can't put it away," Jiang Li shook his head, "If it's put away, it won't be able to harness the power of the Nine Provinces' mountains and rivers, and then the Great Venerable won't be suppressed."
The power of the mountains and earth was drawn in by Jiang Li using [Emperor Erges from Zhen] and settled here. If the scroll were taken away and its position changed, the great power would dissipate, and the enemy could break free imdiately.
The mountains and earth aren't intelligent enough to move the great force with the movent of the suppression target.
Moreover, movent ans change, and once there is change, the Great Venerable might find a flaw, even if it could move, Jiang Li wouldn't let it.
It was only because the Great Venerable was careless this ti that Jiang Li managed to trap him.
He was very familiar with the Princess's character and didn't doubt his decision, which led to his own downfall. If there were a next ti, the Great Venerable would definitely not fall for the sa trick.
So, just let the Map of Mountains and Rivers stay here.
As for the issue of safety...
Jiang Li's gaze fell on a certain monkey.
"You don't expect , old Sun, to look after this thing for you, do you?" Sun Wukong said.
This monkey was quite sharp, perhaps not with extraordinary wisdom, but in terms of agility of thought, Sun Monkey was one of the best. He didn't engage in intrigue out of disposition, but treachery was a specialty of his.
As soon as Jiang Li ntioned that the Map of Mountains and Rivers couldn't be moved, Sun Wukong already realized that soone needed to keep an eye on it; otherwise, it could easily be damaged or the sealing broken by external forces.
The Great Venerable's true form was sealed, but his avatars were still outside, and there were quite a number of them.
So when Jiang Li's gaze fell, Sun Wukong imdiately guessed his intention.
—The one to guard the Map of Mountains and Rivers, it's you!
Jiang Li was not surprised by Sun Wukong's sharpness, and with a smile, he praised: "Only the Great Sage Equalling Heaven's vast divine skills could ensure the seal remains intact."
"Humph."
Sun Wukong remained unmoved, snorting disdainfully: "When you need old Sun, you call Great Sage. When you don't, you call Horses' Fortune. Do you think old Sun would fall for it so easily?"
The flattery, though pleasant, was sadly worthless to him; after all, the Horses' Fortune was for keeping horses, not being one. Jiang Li's flattery was wasted on him.
However, given that Jiang Li dared to speak so, there must be so other trick up his sleeve.
"After this battle, how about a good match with the Great Sage?" Jiang Li dangled a bait.
"Deal." Sun Wukong took the bait.
Sun Wukong was a monkey free from vulgar interests, a purely simple creature uninterested in profit or appearances, but very interested in competing with others and in striving for victory.
Jiang Li, bearing the Divine Dao Fruit, was one of the targets that piqued Sun Wukong's interest.
"If old Sun wins, you must respectfully call Great Saint in the future whenever you see ." Sun Wukong gave a thumbs up, pointing to himself.
"And if you lose?" Jiang Li asked with a smile.
"If I lose..."
Sun Wukong wouldn't stubbornly declare certain victory, instead gritting his teeth and saying: "I'll let you call 'Horses' Fortune' from now on."
"Hmm?" Jiang Li couldn't help but lean back slightly, "That's quite a... remarkable bet. I guess I must win this ti."
"It's old Sun who must win." The monkey declared fiercely.
He cut off any retreat, eliminating any chance for luck, determined to give it his all in this battle.
To this, Jiang Li just smiled slightly, and disappeared into the wind.

Jingzhou Hong County.
The water system in Jingzhou is well-developed, especially the half nearer to Yangzhou, where waterways are abundant. When the Dragon Palace's devil cultivators entered the fray, these rivers beca their aid.
However...
The torrents surged, countless devil cultivators riding the waves onto the land, only to be scorched by blazing flas, steam rising, leaving behind charred corpses.
"Roar! Roar! Roar——"
Yin Tulong stepped on the Wind and Fire Wheel, hovering in the sky, surrounded by nine True Fire Fla Dragons roaring and dancing, their massive bodies exuding Fla Qi, boiling rivers and waves, annihilating demons.
The Dao Fruit Divine Power of the Three Altars Sea eting Great God specialized in targeting demons, especially those of water origin, making these devil cultivators futile no matter how many tens of thousands ca.
"Where are the Four Sea Dragon Kings of the Dragon Palace? Why haven't they shown themselves? Hurry up and co out, Daoist's Divine Fire Nine Refinents needs dragon souls."
Yin Tulong exuded an almost tangible Evil Qi, the Fla Dragons roared, and the imnse power made the water recede, even showing signs of retreat into the waterways.
The True Fire Fla Dragons, together with this overwhelming Evil Qi, left the devil cultivators' hearts filled with dread, instinctively driving the torrents to retreat.
