"Boom!"
The tribulation thunder carried the will of heaven, was mighty and breathtaking, and resounded throughout the earth.
The clouds of calamity shrouded the sky, and the thunder of heavenly punishment struck one after another, continuously, towards the Supreme Elder Tianxin.
The tribulation thunder is not an ordinary thunder of wind and rain, but is caused by the tribulation Qi in the dark, firmly targeting Tianxin Taoist, the target is clear, and, like a tarsal maggot, it is difficult to avoid.
If Taoist Tian Xin were trapped within a few miles of Lingshan Sect and faced the punishment from heaven, he would basically die.
"Let fellow Taoist Tianxin go out to avoid disaster!"
Everyone just wanted to trigger the thunder tribulation just to reduce unnecessary losses, not to let Taoist Tianxin perish.
The Yuqin Demon Emperor, Xinyue Laomu and other upper-level third-level magical powerhouses had a tacit understanding, and they all stopped and gave way to the escape route.
Seeing this, although the possessed Tianxin Taoist was in a state of confusion, driven by his survival instinct, he immediately turned into a ray of light and fled into the distance.
Upon seeing this, Chu Chen, Taoist Taihe, Taoist Yuyang and other high-ranking third-level supernatural beings also used escape techniques and chased after him.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The escaping light pierced the sky, and thunder followed like a shadow, bombarding the Tianxin Taoist people.
After about ten seconds, a purple lightning from the sky hit the escape light accurately, breaking Taoist Tianxin's escape technique.
"Bang!"
Thunder exploded and sparks flew everywhere.
A ball of fire fell from high altitude.
In the mountains and forests, fire shot into the sky.
In just a moment, Taoist Tianxin's breath disappeared without a trace, as if he had completely disappeared between heaven and earth.
This was not because Tianxin Taoist was weak and could not withstand the lightning strike and died, but because Tianxin Taoist used secret escape methods to avoid disasters.
The moment his breath disappeared, the continuous thunder in the sky suddenly stopped, as if it had lost its target.
"What a way to escape! No wonder he can live for thousands of years. He is so good at avoiding disasters."
After Chu Chen watched, he was secretly surprised and gained a lot of knowledge.
In fact, his [White Crane and Purple Zhi Escape] and [Yin Yang Escape Secret Technique] are serious immortal escape techniques. If magic weapons such as wooden crane tablets, yin and yang gods, etc. are promoted to transformation-level magic weapons or even top-level magic weapons, he may be able to do it. Take shelter from disasters.
Of course, there are high and low levels of escape method.
The Taoist believer's escaping skills that day were amazing, but compared to Sun Dasheng's seventy-two transformations to avoid three disasters and nine disasters, his longevity was far inferior to Tian Qi's magical powers.
In just twenty breaths, the divine will seemed to understand the escape method, and there was another "boom".
A purple sky thunder struck down again.
"Bang!"
"Ahhhhh~"
Deafening wails resounded through the mountains. Amidst the sky-high flames and billowing smoke, a ray of light shattered the void and fled in a hurry.
"Fellow Taoists, follow us!"
Upon seeing this, a group of high-ranking and third-level great supernatural powers followed him to have a closer look.
Demon King Yuqin and Old Mother Xinyue wanted to watch the thousand-year-old monster survive the tribulation and accumulate experience for themselves in case of future emergencies, while the upper-third-grade great supernatural monks on the Celestial Court side were afraid that the Tianxin Taoist people would cause trouble.
An hour later.
A deserted countryside in Yuezhou,
The billowing black clouds left like the tide, and soon the place changed drastically.
In the blink of an eye, there was no cloud in the sky and the sky was clear and blue.
"Huh~ The disaster is finally over."
A Taoist holding a fly whisk looked up at the sky, sighed slightly, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after, rays of escaping light shattered the void and appeared out of thin air.
It was Chu Chen and his party.
Seeing this situation, Master Tianxin and Taoist Feilong were anxious and quickly asked for advice:
"Great Elder Chongxu, how is my supreme elder doing?"
This person is none other than the envoy of the Demon Court, the Grand Elder of the Immortal Court Central Presbytery, "Taoist Chongxu". After hearing about the incident in Lingshan, he rushed over to take charge of the situation as soon as possible.
"It's okay for your elders, don't worry."
After Taoist Chongxu finished speaking, the sound of divine consciousness resounded throughout the mountains:
"Friend Tianxin, the catastrophe is over, there is no need to hide."
After the words fell, there was a silence.
Just when everyone was curious, a spiritual light flashed in the grass on the mountain.
After a while, Dun Guang turned into a human form.
This person is no one else, but the Supreme Elder Tianxin, "Tianxin Taoist".
At this moment, Taoist Tianxin looked extremely embarrassed. The crown on his head had long since disappeared. His hair was disheveled and stood up at the roots, like a savage. His Bagua Taoist robe was also in tatters. He was no different from a beggar. His body was even more charred. There were black and red blood stains all over, and it looked terrible.
The most shocking thing is the tree-shaped scars on Taoist Tianxin's face. Originally it was just one side of his cheek, but now his whole face is covered with tree-shaped black scars.
Based on Taoist Tianxin's Taoist practice, ordinary injuries, as long as they are not fatal, can be quickly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. But now, he has suffered an injury from Heaven's Punishment. It is extremely difficult to recover from this injury. The whole person's spirit is listless and his energy is sluggish. He was losing money and was extremely weak, as if he were an old man in his waning years in the mortal world, with no trace of the magnanimity of a peerless strong man.
The only good news is that Tianxin Taoist's vision is clear at this moment, and there is no confusion and violence just now.
Obviously, everyone's previous judgments were correct. After experiencing the thunder tribulation, Tianxin Taoist's inner demons were indeed exterminated.
"Fellow Taoist Tianxin, alas~"
Seeing Taoist Tianxin's miserable appearance, Taoist Chongxu wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how to say it.
The dispute between the Tianxin North and South sects and the Lingshan sect is based on the standpoints of both sides. There is no right or wrong. One wants to maintain the status of his main lineage, and the other strives for his own reasonable status.
The father-in-law said that the public was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right. It is a typical "upright official cannot handle household affairs", and it is difficult for outsiders to say anything.
As an outsider, Taoist Chongxu was concerned about the conflict between the old and new factions of Tianxin. He originally thought that the northern and southern factions of Tianxin had a profound foundation and had an advantage in the early stage. In the long term, he was more optimistic about the Lingshan faction and its gradual rise under the leadership of Chu Chen. .
The two factions of Tianxin, the North and the South, declined step by step in the competition, and then lost their current status as the direct lineage of Tianxin.
However, he never expected that the Tianxin North and South factions would fall into a disadvantage so early.
Moreover, it was the Supreme Elder Tianxin who personally took action and went to Lingshan to "discuss the Tao" and lost to the junior Chu Chen.
Anyone with some discernment knows in their hearts at this moment that after today, the Tianxin Northern and Southern Sects are completely eliminated, and they have no ability to compete with Chu Chen of the Lingshan Sect.
"Many thanks to fellow Taoist Chongxu for protecting the law!"
Taoist Tianxin bowed to the Great Elder Chongxu and exhaled the turbid air in his chest. Then his eyes moved to Taoist Yuyang and Feilong. Finally, they fell on Chu Chen.
"Little friend Chu, I have mastered the essence of Tianxin's wonderful method. My old skills are not as good as those of others. I am convinced."
These words seemed to have exhausted Taoist Tianxin's whole body. At this moment, his whole body was sluggish.
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them changed their colors slightly.
The words of Supreme Elder Tianxin completely recognized the identity of Lingshan Sect’s direct lineage from Tianxin, and also announced that the competition between the northern and southern Tianxin sects had settled and everything had settled.
Taoist Yuyang and Taoist Feilong looked pale and unwilling.
"The Supreme Elder."
Seeing that the two of them were unwilling to accept it, Taoist Tianxin shook his head:
"Let's go!"
After finishing speaking, the haggard and old Taoist Tianxin had no intention of staying here. He turned around resolutely, with a stooped figure, and left alone.
Taoist Yuyang and Taoist Feilong were reluctant, but in the end they followed without saying anything.
Just when the three of them were about to escape, a clear transmission of spiritual consciousness resounded through the mountains.
"Senior Tianxin, please stay!"
Taoist Tianxin froze for a moment and slowly turned around.
Taoist Chongxu, Yuqin Demon Emperor, Xinyue Laomu and other upper-level third-level supernatural powers also looked sideways at Chu Chen.
"Thank you, Senior Tianxin, for your help."
Chu Chen bowed his hands and saw everyone looking sideways with puzzled expressions on their faces. He then smiled slightly:
"Sanqing is a family, and Tianxin shares the same dynasty. Our Lingshan sect has never had any intention of replacing the two sects of Tianxin, the north and the south."
Taoist Tianxin was stunned for a moment, a little surprised:
"Little friend Chu, I wonder what you mean by this?"
Not only Taoist Tianxin, Taoist Yuyang and other people from the northern and southern sects of Tianxin were surprised.
Taoist Chongxu, Taoist Taihe and others on the side were also a little surprised.
At present, with the momentum of "discussion and discussion" overtaking the northern and southern sects of Tianxin, the Lingshan sect is rising, and the destiny of Tianxin lineage is gathering. Its momentum is unstoppable.
Not surprisingly, the Lingshan sect became the authentic sect of Tianxin, suppressed the northern and southern sects of Tianxin, and became the only direct descendant of Tianxin.
Chu Chen smiled faintly:
"We, the Lingshan Sect, have never thought of raising the flag of Tianxin's only direct lineage."
These words were spoken from the heart.
In fact, there is no irresolvable feud between the Lingshan Sect and the Tianxin Northern and Southern Sects, but a pure "traditional dispute."
Previously, due to the existence of a third party from the Dragon Clan, it was difficult to resolve disputes between the two parties. The Tianxin Northern and Southern Sects regarded the Lingshan Sect as a puppet of the Dragon Clan to support and dismantle the Tianxin Sect, and were inherently hostile and repulsive.
Chu Chen and the Lingshan Sect were indeed protected by the Dragon Clan at that time and received support from the Earthly Dragon Lord and the Dragon Clan.
As Chu Chen's father-in-law, Diyuan Longjun must act towards Chu Chen.
However, due to the different identities of the two parties, Diyuan Longjun's position does not completely coincide with Chu Chen's position.
Previously, the two Tianxin sects, the Northern and Southern sects, did not recognize that the Lingshan sect had obtained the Tianxin Dharma lineage and regarded them as "thieves." In order to defend the "tradition" and the sect, Chu Chen naturally argued with reason and fought for the benefits he had won.
This time, Taoist Tianxin personally recognized the identity of Lingshan Sect's "Tianxin Authentic Sect", so the situation was different. Chu Chen suddenly changed from "conquering the world" to "defending the world".
The change in status will inevitably bring about a change in thinking.
Now, as Chu Chen is a direct descendant of Tianxin, his eyes are no longer on the Lingshan Sect, but on the entire Tianxin lineage.
After thinking about this, Chu Chen said leisurely:
"You and I are the direct lineage of Tianxin, and we don't interfere with the river. In comparison, the two sects of Tianxin, the northern and southern sects, inherit the ancestor's lineage, which is more pure. Our Lingshan sect is based on the "Huangting Sutra" and cultivates the Three Scenes of Hunyuan and Ten Thousand Gods. Build the foundation, connect the heaven and earth with the heart of heaven, incorporate the strengths of hundreds of schools, refine the small world within the body internally, and integrate the great heaven and earth externally, forming a system of its own and unique."
Although these words were plain, the confidence and soaring edge of the words were clearly revealed.
Taoist Chongxu, Yuqin Demon Emperor, Xinyue Laomu and other upper-level third-level supernatural powers had expressions of surprise on their faces. They looked at Chu Chen who was standing proudly again, and their eyes were slightly different.
The Lingshan Sect didn’t just fall in love with Tianxin’s Taoist lineage. From the beginning to the end, he overcame obstacles, absorbed the strengths of hundreds of schools, and opened up his own path.
This scene was very familiar to them.
"this"
Taoist Tianxin, Taoist Yuyang and others looked astonished.
At the beginning, they would not have taken it seriously, but now, seeing Chu Chen speaking these words sincerely and sincerely, they were inexplicably surprised, and even felt a bit like "surviving the disaster".
For a moment, Taoist Tianxin's cloudy eyes showed a somewhat complicated look:
"Little friend Chu, no wonder the ancestors favor you so much that I feel ashamed."
Lingshan sect mountain gate.
After a farce at the "founding ceremony of the sect", the newly built Lingshan sect was in a mess, with the palace and buildings collapsed and reduced to ruins, looking extremely miserable.
However, everyone in the Lingshan Sect did not look worried. Instead, they were happy and full of energy.
The news that the Tianxin North and South sects and the Lingshan sect had reconciled, and that both sides were the direct descendants of Tianxin, spread throughout the mountain gate. A group of disciples were very happy, and they used magic to build, and it was a lively scene.
In the back mountain, a quiet and remote high-rise building escaped the sudden disaster and survived, and is relatively well-preserved.
Inside the house, senior officials from the Lingshan Sect gathered together.
"snort!"
The little ghost boy put his hands on his hips, raised his head and held his chest high, without saying a word, as if he was incomprehensible.
However, everyone can see the pride on its face.
Qingying, Xu Ping, Taoist Yunlei, and even Fu Hua and Fu Ling all surrounded the little ghost, asking questions.
"Little devil, is that [Thunder Master] really you? Do you actually have such great magical powers?"
"Why are you so powerful all of a sudden? You can actually trigger heavenly punishment."
"Little devil, is this your third-level awakened supernatural power? It's so powerful."
Seeing everyone gathered around and asking questions, the little guy looked proud. The corners of his raised mouth could lift at least three toilets.
This time, it can be said to be proud and proud.
A few days ago, he broke through to the third level and returned to Yunzhou. He originally wanted to be the center of attention and enjoy the glory, but unexpectedly, he was cold and no one paid attention to him.
This time, it finally vented the gloomy energy in its chest, and its entire ghostly thoughts became clear and incomparable.
The little devil is sitting on the ground, talking eloquently and boasting about Dharma conch, quite like a scholar:
"My magical power is called [Thunder God Dharma Appearance]. It can transform into Thunder God. It is very powerful. I am no longer the little brat with no fighting skills. If any of you dare to mess with me, be careful I will kill you."
Not long after, there was a side hall in the courtyard.
"Zhenyi, you did a good job this time. We, the Lingshan sect, are independent, blaze our own path, adhere to our own fundamental methods, and don't need to covet other people's wealth and luck."
Taoist Master Xu Ping listened to Chu Chen's narration and nodded repeatedly. He was very satisfied with the result of Chu Chen's handling.
First of all, the fundamental method of Lingshan Sect is [Hunyuan Xuan Gong], which has completely turned to [Tianxin Zhengfa], which is somewhat biased. Chu Chen is leading the trend of Lingshan Sect impartially, and he is extremely pleased with this;
Secondly, after all, the Tianxin Northern and Southern Sects still have some solid foundations, and they are getting desperate, which is not a good thing for the Lingshan Sect.
The current situation is beneficial to both Lingshan Sect and Tianxin North and South Sects.
"Yes, it would be good for both parties if this matter can be settled here."
Taoist Fu Hua and Fu Ling nodded slightly, feeling more and more relieved about handing over the Lingshan Sect to their disciples and grandchildren.
"Haha~ I'm afraid the Dragon Clan is a little unhappy, but it doesn't matter, I will deal with it."
Chu Chen smiled slightly and didn't take it too seriously.
This time, what he did was in line with his position and more in line with the interests of Tianxin's lineage.
At this point, the Heart Temple responded vaguely, showing the magical power without performing any good deeds.
