Qinggu Zhenjun accompanied Prince Feng Xiahou Feng here to observe the enemy's defense situation.
The two of them were high in the sky, avoiding the attention from below, and used secret methods to secretly observe below.
Looking at the defense line below, Xiahou sneered with disdain on his plump face.
What a bunch of ignorant guys who thought they could resist the army of the Great Li Dynasty with just a temporary and crude defense line.
This group of cultivators fight alone, are brave and ruthless, and can even engage in small-scale battles. But in a large army campaign, thousands of troops and horses fighting, they were too far behind, and they didn't have much experience at all.
Not to mention the large army fighting, in terms of top powerhouses alone, the Dali Dynasty had an absolute advantage.
Glancing at True Lord Qinggu next to him, Xia Houfeng said: "True Lord Qinggu, when the war begins, I will command the army, and Lord Jade Sword will be left to you to deal with."
"You won't show mercy if you start a fight with an old friend."
True Lord Qing Gu shook his head indifferently.
"That sword madman and I are old friends. We just met each other a few times. When it comes time to fight, no one dares to show mercy."
"Really?" Xia Houfeng left a meaningful question.
True Lord Qingfeng was able to lead his disciples to escape from the Qingyuan Sect and flee all the way to the north of the Jiuqu League. How could they have done it if True Lord Qinggu hadn't deliberately let go?
This old guy wouldn't be still hesitant and vacillating at this point.
Xia Houfeng was originally going to criticize Qing Gu Zhenjun for a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
True Lord Qing Gu has fully seen the strength of the Dali Dynasty, so even if he has any other ideas in his mind, he should give up.
In fact, Xia Houfeng really blamed Qinggu Zhenjun a little bit wrongly. He sincerely surrendered to the Dali Dynasty.
His purpose is simple, just for his own path.
If you continue to stay in Qingyuan Sect, in the realm of Jiuqu Alliance, the late stage of Yuanshen is the highest level of cultivation, and there is basically no way forward.
Qingyuan Sect is the ruler of the Jiuqu Alliance and the regional overlord. Qinggu Zhenjun is the supreme elder in the sect.
But what's the use?
Without the great road, without immortality, everything is false.
Everything he owns will disappear when his life span is exhausted.
A monk like this who has been carefully cultivated by the sect since childhood, receives education, and develops an outlook on life that will put the interests of the sect first, even at the expense of himself for the sect.
But True Lord Qing Gu was obviously an outlier, putting his own path and cultivation above the overall interests of the Qing Yuan Sect. For the sake of his own path, he would even sacrifice the entire Qingyuan Sect.
After a monk reaches the late stage of Yuan Shen cultivation, there is still another stage before entering the return to virtuality stage, which is the state of perfect Yuan Shen.
This realm is also called Yang Shen.
The so-called Yang Shen is the pure Yang Wuyu of Yuan Shen.
The soul originally belongs to Yin. If you want to remove the Yin energy from the soul, you must go through the test and baptism of thunder.
The thunder experienced by the Yuanshen Thunder Tribulation is not an ordinary thunder, but the thunder of the great avenue, which contains the power of the great avenue of heaven and earth.
Even if a weaker soul is slightly affected by the thunder, let alone experiencing a thunder tribulation, it will end in total destruction.
There are many monks in the late stage of Yuan Shen in the world of cultivation, but few dare to bravely survive the thunder tribulation.
Overcoming the tribulation is a matter of perseverance and failure.
It is not easy for cultivators to reach the late stage of Yuanshen. They have to go through countless difficulties and obstacles. How could someone who was born in a sect or family still shoulder the important responsibilities of a sect or family and take risks with a useful body?
The test of a narrow escape is too dangerous.
However, many monks were unwilling to end their path to seek Taoism, so they came up with many crooked ways to get through and skip this stage.
Like Zhenjun Tianzhu back then, he just wanted to use side methods to seize the body of the fifth-level earth spirit, so as to directly enter the realm of returning to the virtual world.
Although he was interfered by external forces and failed in the end. But in fact, even without any external interference, it would be difficult for him to succeed.
There is also the leader of Huanglian Sect, Zhenjun Xu Huanshan, who wants to use the power of the devil to break through the realm. As a result, he became obsessed with his own family and almost lost his life.
Qinggu Zhenjun looked for other methods only after he saw that the heretical methods were unsuccessful.
By chance, Zhenjun Qinggu knew something.
The contemporary emperor of the Dali Dynasty, Emperor Bawu, was a Yang Shen True Lord. There is also the national master Chunyu Zhongda, who is also a true king of Yangshen.
Moreover, it was only after the national master Chunyu Zhongda took refuge in the Dali Dynasty that he survived the thunder tribulation, entered the realm of Yuan Shen perfection, and became the Yang Shen.
If Emperor Bawu is said to have become the Yang God by himself, it can also be said that he is gifted and his path cannot be copied.
However, Chunyu Zhongda, the national master, also achieved Yuanshen, which means that Emperor Bawu probably has the secret method of overcoming the tribulation and can successfully survive the thunder tribulation.
Coincidentally, at that time, the Dali Dynasty was on an expedition. Although it had not yet conquered the Hengjue Mountains, the far-sighted Emperor Bawu had already set his sights on the Jiuqu League as the next target.
The Dali Dynasty made plans early and sent spies to the Jiuqu League.
For example, the famous non-commercial cultivator Hengdao Zhenjun of the Jiuqu League was originally a Jindan monk from the army of the Great Li Dynasty. It was at that time that he entered the Jiuqu League and lurked while hiding his identity.
True Lord Qinggu began to take the initiative to contact the Dali Dynasty and put forward his own requirements.
The Dali Dynasty attaches great importance to True Lord Qinggu. With his identity and status, if he turns to the Dali Dynasty, the Dali Dynasty's action of conquering the Jiuqu League will be more effective with half the effort.
Therefore, the Dali Dynasty agreed to the request of True Lord Qinggu.
As long as Qinggu Zhenjun assists the Dali Dynasty in conquering the Jiuqu League, Naba Wu Emperor will teach him the secret method of overcoming the tribulation, giving him the confidence to survive the thunder tribulation.
Next, True Lord Qing Gu used his identity to create discord within the Qing Yuan Sect. He instigated his supporters to oppose the Jade Sword Sect at every turn, opposed every correct proposal of the Jade Sword Sect, and created trouble within the Jiuqu Alliance.
Within the Qingyuan Sect and the Jiuqu Alliance, not everyone had doubts about True Lord Qinggu.
But Qing Gu Zhenjun’s cultivation and status are hard to question.
Moreover, Qing Gu Zhenjun also played political tricks and packaged everything he did into a struggle for power and profit.
During this process, True Lord Qing Gu also had hesitations and repetitions.
But in the end, he got to where he is today.
True Lord Qing Gu knew that he could no longer turn back, and had only one way to go: to serve the Dali Dynasty wholeheartedly.
Having witnessed the powerful strength of the Dali Dynasty with his own eyes, he could not resist.
In his opinion, the guys from the Jade Sword Sect are just mantises acting as chariots, and they cannot withstand the army of the Dali Dynasty at all.
The true strength of the Dali Dynasty has not yet been revealed, and the force currently dispatched alone is enough to crush everything.
