If Tianxuan were to die from Heaven's Punishnt, or be severely wounded by it, that would equally fulfill the Immortal Queen's intentions, and she could take this opportunity to deal with Tianxuan. If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who brings the problem.
With Tianxuan dead, all causes and shackles naturally cease to exist.
This is actually the best solution. However, after Tianxuan orchestrated the defeat of the Immortal Queen back then, she remained reclusive. By the ti she t the Immortal Queen again, she had already achieved the Third Grade Dao Fruit. With third-grade combat power, if wholly focusing on avoiding battle, few could indeed restrain them.
Not to ntion that Tianxuan excels in Qin Dunjia and Yi Dao Xuan Technique; she's not so crude Martial Artist. To intercept and kill her is as difficult as climbing the heavens.
It is precisely for reasons like these that the Immortal Queen agreed to Tianxuan's deal.
But now, Tianxuan has broken her oath and faces Heaven's Punishnt. This is actually the best result foreseen by the Immortal Queen.
Heaven still wields such power, which is not a good thing for the Heavenly Monarch, but it is the best thing for the Immortal Queen. If Tianxuan breaks her oath and Heaven lacks the power to punish, that would be bad for the Immortal Queen.
The stability of the Great Zhou's Jiangshan does not concern the Immortal Queen; she only cares about whether Tianxuan lives or dies.
Now, even if you choose to repent, you still can't stop .
Tianxuan's choice seems to have been wrong.
But—
As the Calamity Cloud descended and the invisible oppression condensed, Jiang Li suddenly rose from the Flying Island and stood alongside Tianxuan.
Master and disciple simultaneously painted talismans with their fingers, the Qi moving like a racing Dragon and Snake, forming a talisman shape in an instant. Then they waved their hands, rging the runes they had drawn into one, manifesting a talisman taller than a person.
"Shape-shifting Fruit Token!"
Everyone present, being well-inford, including many experts from the Mystic Sect, recognized the Shape-shifting Fruit Token at once despite its complexity.
This talisman's function is to borrow another's form to replace another's result. It can be used for disguise and transformation, and to endure curses and magical attacks for others, making it quite versatile.
Looking at Jiang Li and Tianxuan's gestures, they are precisely using the "Shape-shifting Fruit Token" to communicate with each other, even confusing cause and effect, to face Heavenly Punishnt together.
The Calamity Cloud surged, and that invisible oppression descended upon both of them at the sa ti. All things in heaven and earth repelled Jiang Li and Tianxuan; then...
Nothing!
The vortex in the sky continued to spin, the sky do rift already stretched to its limit, yet the Heavenly Punishnt remained undelivered, as if Jiang Li and Tianxuan did not exist.
Having made such a choice, of course, they have a way to deal with it. Jiang Li knows well that Heaven is not truly weakened. It was deliberately allowing the Heavenly Monarch to kill its avatar.
Even if damaged in the process, it would be quite limited, and it would still be capable of delivering Heavenly Punishnt.
Jiang Li and Tianxuan, as master and disciple, dared to swear against Heaven, not because they believed Heaven was weak, but because they were not afraid of Heaven's Punishnt descending. These two do not place their safety in Heaven's injuries but trust in themselves more.
Thus, in this transaction, Jiang Li and Tianxuan took the goods but avoided paying, effectively stealing a Second Grade Dao Artifact from the Immortal Queen.
"Fellow Daoists, this..." Daoist Guang Cheng, observing from behind, was montarily at a loss for words.
"This is truly remarkable," Yin Tulong waved his fist, "I never liked that woman anyway, well done."
For years, the Yuxu Temple and the Immortal Palace, as neighbors, have had occasional clashes, especially after Jiang Biehe secretly contacted the Immortal Palace in an attempt to assassinate Jiang Li. Upon seeing the Immortal Queen being taken advantage of, Yin Tulong was the first to approve.
On the other side, a grave expression suggested awareness that the situation was tilting unfavorably.
"He has the Avoiding Tribulation Technique."
Wuzhiqi's eyes flashed with golden light as he watched this scene, suddenly speaking, "He can evade disaster and avoid tribulation."
Carrying Sun Wukong's Dao Fruit, he possessed the 72 Transformations divine skill, aware that Heavenly Tribulations and Punishnts are not utterly unavoidable.
Though the real Sun Wukong did not practice the Eight-Nine Profound Skill like in the tales, his 72 Transformations divine skill worked as a miraculous technique to evade disaster, directly avoiding the Three Calamities and achieving immortality. Thus, Wuzhiqi saw that Jiang Li was using the Avoiding Tribulation Technique to sidestep Heavenly Punishnt.
Just like back when the Heavenly Monarch killed the previous Jiang family head, Jiang Tao.
Back when the Heavenly Monarch killed Jiang Tao, it was the Ji Family and Jiang Family's oath that was broken, hence the Heavenly Monarch severed cause and effect, avoiding Heavenly Punishnt, which then targeted the Emperor, making him bear the brunt. Yet Tianxuan's oath concerned only herself; having avoided Heavenly Punishnt, it ended there.
Wuzhiqi's voice was not loud but enough for all present to hear amidst the roaring wind.
The Immortal Queen, already harboring a murderous intent due to Tianxuan's broken promise, upon hearing this, flicked her empty left sleeve, sending the Green Wood Tree floating before Tianxuan to send green ripples charging at Tianxuan and Jiang Li.
The two, initially invisible, were struck, and their auras imdiately leaked, revealing causality that should have been hidden, halting the retreat of Heavenly Punishnt.
Simultaneously, a frigid wind rose, suddenly condensing frost in the sky, freezing the air and forming ice streaks, transforming swiftly into a frosty world that trapped Jiang Li and Tianxuan.
Facing the master and disciple's outrageous antics, the Immortal Queen decisively resorted to force to defend her gain. The frost spread, about to form massive Mysterious Ice.
Jiang Li reached out, his palm birthing black and white hues, casually shattered the green ripples, and grasped the Green Wood Tree. Tianxuan, eyes aglow with starlight, raised a full moon behind her head, countless Star Dust swirling around her, forming a vortex, violently breaking through layers of ice.
