Southern Territory, New Penglai.
Yang Yuhu looked at the brand new pavilions covering the mountain peaks and showed a happy smile, "Thanks to Chu Liang's atmosphere, there are so many phoenix-level buildings, how many spirit stone coins are there. Our Penglai Sect will never be defeated again in the future. People have broken through!”
"He is not a grey-haired and kind-hearted master." Xi Miaoxian also smiled and said, "Venerable Qinglong was so tired that he went into seclusion when he came back, and he hasn't recovered yet. He is a strong man at the peak of the eighth realm. They were all made like this.”
"I heard that in order to quickly improve his cultivation level, he used the East China Sea Cosmic Wheel to increase his speed like crazy." Yang Yuhu shook his head and sighed, "His cultivation level is already so high, why are he in such a hurry?"
"Maybe his goal is different from ours." Xi Miaoxian turned back and looked in the direction of Shushan Mountain.
There is a black and white Tai Chi diagram in the distance, dividing the sky into pieces.
"Don't mention it, I'm still busy today." Yang Yuhu was also quite emotional. When they first met, he naturally felt that Chu Liang, a low-ranking nine-day talent in Shushan, should come to Penglai, the first righteous sect, to avoid being buried.
Who would have thought that Chu Liang had indeed become a disciple of the number one immortal sect on the right path by virtue of his own strength, but in another way.
The sky was bright, and a large number of Penglai disciples were also flying to Shushan. The reason why they chose a location not far from Shushan was because of this...it was convenient to work.
The talent there is mixed.
Bai Ze's ambition has also begun.
Every critical person has different ambitions to achieve in order to achieve enlightenment, but the common denominator is that they are all very difficult.
Like the Western Sea Divine Phoenix, Yan Yang Ying Shi is relatively simple, because the Tianyao Avenue is relatively straightforward, and the corresponding combat power during the eighth and ninth realms will be relatively low.
The ancestor of Tianxing needed to turn the morning star into a star alongside the sun and the moon, so it was not that difficult to compare.
Wuchao Patriarch's Avenue of Chaos is obviously much more difficult. He needs to engulf the world with darkness. Even if there is no competition from other critical practitioners, the current practitioners will block it.
However, as soon as Bai Ze's Yin Yang Avenue came out, all the previous ones suddenly seemed easy. She needs to completely separate the yin and yang in the world, and return yin to yin and yang to yang, which means that from now on, there will be no more ghosts in the world.
The matter of enlightenment itself is actually to be recognized by the avenue that one controls, which requires fulfilling the requirements of the avenue.
In Chu Liang's words, it is to buy Da Dao - to pay some benefits and complete an exchange with Da Dao.
In Lin Bei's words, it is to take over the avenue - fulfill its requirements, so that the avenue will be willing to combine with you.
To sum it up, it is a process of giving in exchange for union.
In this process, higher-level avenues will have more difficult requirements. A lower-grade avenue would naturally not have such high requirements.
Of course, even the simplest ambitions are far from trivial, and the probability of failure is far greater than success.
This is why Master Wen Yuan did not agree with the proposal to supervise the country before.
The process of enlightenment is not only to compete with other borderline people, but more importantly, to fulfill the ambition of enlightenment and meet the requirements of the great road. Even without competition, this is extremely difficult.
The competition among the critical ones can instead be regarded as a screening to select the strongest critical ones to face the test.
Bai Ze can give in, but will Da Dao give in?
If you look at it from the perspective of a higher level, such as the Shenxu Temple, Wen Yuan is undoubtedly right. The ninth realm obtained by giving up in this way is meaningless, and it is impossible to shoulder the burden of sublimating one world.
And the competition is not necessarily limited to just a few critical players, although they are much ahead and have already seized the opportunity. But it is by no means impossible for a latecomer to catch up.
For example, Venerable Wanfa, as a critical person known to the world, has never shown his ambition to fight for the Dao. If someone breaks through to the critical level in the future, they can also join this competition.
This is what Lord Qinglong meant.
After returning from Shushan, he went into seclusion not only to restore his cultivation, but also to comprehend the Great Dao.
His longevity is longer than that of Bai Ze, and he has always behaved like a senior in front of him. But now that Tongxuan is here, Bai Ze may become a new saint at any time, but he is still working for Chu Liang.
This comparison somewhat stimulated Master Qinglong.
In addition, once the ancestor of Tianxing is promoted, the crisis Penglai may face may also become a driving force in his heart.
Although it is a little late for him to retreat and realize his enlightenment now, he has been at the peak of the eighth realm for many years. As long as there is the slightest breakthrough, it is possible to reach the critical state.
Nowadays, among the few participants, no one has an absolute advantage. As long as you enter, you will have a chance.
In fact, this has been the case throughout the ages, and this chaotic world of great disputes is likely to last for hundreds of years. No one cares about the impact this has on ordinary living beings.
In the cave in the mountain, Venerable Qinglong is meditating with his eyes closed, evolving Taiyi countless times in his mind.
Suddenly, his eyes opened, golden flames burned in his eyes, he stared in one direction, and shouted: "He Fang Xiaoxiao!"
Before he could finish his words, a green dragon claw phantom suddenly launched out, and a claw mark landed on a location in the void.
Bang——
There was an explosion, and the figure of Lin Poyun, the leader of the Pluto Sect, emerged from behind the shattered cave wall. He originally just wanted to approach quietly, but was keenly noticed by the Lord Qinglong.
"It's you again!" Lord Qinglong saw him, but it was his enemies who were particularly jealous when they saw him. The Pluto Sect was the main force of the three groups that robbed Penglai. At that time, he relied on the divine weapon Ksitigarbha's true form in his hand to beat Master Qinglong severely.
Now that there is no Ksitigarbha's true body, Master Qinglong naturally cannot be afraid of him anymore.
"Roar——" Immediately, the dragon's roar shook the sky, and a phantom of a dragon tail swayed out, sweeping across with mighty force.
Lin Poyun had no intention of fighting the enemy, so he turned around and ran away.
Lord Qinglong chased him out and found that the situation was no longer good.
On the newly built mountain peak, Master Yinghuo stood in the middle of the field, his hands tied in his sleeves. Most of the Penglai disciples are still working in Shushan and have not returned at the moment. But there are still many people staying at the mountain gate. These disciples are motionless at this moment, like puppets whose souls have been taken away.
It was the chaos of leaving the road that held their lives in check.
Lushan Weng looked solemn and was confronting the Heavenly Master.
The few remaining seventh-level experts were being chased by Ji Lingjue and Huo Tianya. Although there were only two of them, it was easy to defeat four or five of them.
If it were Penglai in its heyday, this lineup would have come here just to deliver food, but today's Penglai's power is not as powerful as it was back then, and it was unexpectedly killed by the Yinghuo forces so easily.
The so-called tiger falling in peace and being ridden by a dog is nothing more than this.
"What do you want to do?" Lushan Weng asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything worth coveting in the Penglai Sect today?"
"I just want to borrow one thing and return it when I'm done with it." The Heavenly Master said with a faint smile, "I hope you two can fulfill it."
"East China Sea Zhoulun?" Venerable Qinglong asked.
"Exactly." The Heavenly Master nodded.
Everyone knows that Penglai is now impoverished and has nothing else worth spending a lot of money on.
"No problem." Lord Qinglong said, then he turned his hand and released a beam of green light.
call out--
The giant bronze wheel rose out of thin air and did not hand it to the Celestial Master. Instead, it spun in the air. A vortex of light hit the Celestial Master, causing his life span to elapse crazily.
Although Venerable Qinglong is not the Wuya Taoist, and his ability to perform it is not as good as that of the common people, this is at least a top-notch artifact, and its power when used is equally terrifying.
Seeing his posture of not being threatened at all, the Heavenly Master no longer attempted to kidnap Qinglong with Penglai disciples, but ran down and disappeared suddenly, avoiding the fate of being sniped by Donghai Zhoulun.
Over there, the Lushan Weng also attacked Lin Poyun, and the majestic black soil surged up, almost burying the Pluto Sect Leader in it.
As soon as they started fighting, the two strong men from Penglai had the upper hand.
But the situation suddenly changed, and suddenly a big golden hand fell from the sky, and slapped the East China Sea Zhoulun with one palm, making a loud buzzing sound!
"Old thief of Wanfa!" Venerable Qinglong shouted.
It was he who snatched the Yutian Ring that day, and it was also from the hands of Lord Qinglong. He would never allow this to happen a second time!
The East China Sea's cosmic wheel rotates crazily, the light hits the Venerable Wanfa in the sky, and the life span suddenly passes like a long river.
But the Venerable Wanfa did not relax his magical hand at all. He firmly grasped the corner of the East China Sea Cosmic Wheel and pulled it upwards, as if he wanted to snatch this artifact away alive!
It was naturally impossible for Venerable Qinglong to let him do whatever he wanted. The sky was full and the power of the divine weapon was poured into it ferociously. Even a divine beast cannot withstand this level of loss of longevity.
But the Venerable Wanfa still refused to take a step back.
Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, another sharp blue light came from the distance!
"How dare you, old thief!"
What came through the clouds was the Shushan Shenzhou!
It turns out that just after the Tianshu Pavilion was robbed last time, the connections between the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were strengthened. The repeated catastrophes that have occurred have made all immortal sects more vigilant. In order to prevent them from being defeated by each other again, a mutual aid mechanism has been established.
It is impossible to expect all the immortal sects to move together. Crossing long distances may also cause a tragedy like Tianshu Pavilion. Therefore, the plan proposed by the Jianguo Mansion is for the immortal sects in close proximity to help each other.
Each fairy sect has established a rapid response force.
After the Tianshu Pavilion was destroyed, the remaining people temporarily stayed in the Tianwang Sect. With the two artifacts taking over at the same time, there was no need to worry.
Tiangangmen, Shushan and Xin Penglai in the southern region help each other. As long as one party is attacked by evil spirits, the other two parties will quickly provide support. Because of the close distance, if the other two sects were attacked, they would be able to come back immediately and come to their aid immediately.
Shushan, in particular, must bear the responsibility of being the first to send aid when it possesses both critical personnel and artifacts.
The Endless Sword Sect and Taiyin Sect in the Northern Territory should undoubtedly help each other. But there is a problem. The Taiyin Sect's artifact cannot leave home. They will definitely be fine on their own, but it will be a bit difficult to provide help.
Fortunately, the Endless Sword Sect is located in a central location and is not far from Yudu City in Zhongzhou. It can bring Yudu City closer to this area of mutual assistance.
But after Penglai moved away, the Kirigakure Fairy Mountain in the East China Sea became isolated overseas, and it was easy to be isolated and helpless if it was attacked. When Master Jiuyi was panicking, Buddhist friends from Yunque Temple extended a friendly hand.
Yunque Temple pushed its own Buddha Cloud over the East China Sea. As a result, the straight-line distance from Wuyin Fairy Mountain was also shortened a lot. They became neighbors like going up and downstairs, and the two sides could not see each other when they looked up.
The disadvantage is that the lighting in Kirigakuin Fairy Mountain takes a while.
Faced with such cunning madmen as the Venerable Wanfa and Yinghuo, the righteous immortal sects were quite helpless. After all, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. When we can't find the opponent, we are very distressed even if we have an absolute strength advantage.
This kind of mutual aid mechanism is also a helpless self-protection in troubled times.
The person coming to Xin Penglai's aid at this moment is Shushan's rapid reaction force, Yan Daoren, who is in charge of Shushan Shenzhou! On her bow stood the majestic Emperor Phoenix.
The emperor's daughter Feng looked down at the old man from Mount Lu and shouted: "Lao Deng, why don't you die!"
Lushan Weng quickly raised his hands, "Aren't you guys here to help us?"
"Ah..." Emperor Daughter Feng looked up and saw clearly that the real owner was the ethereal Wanfa in mid-air. She paused again and shouted: "Yan Zi, hit him to death!"
Needless to say, Shushan Shenzhou had already crashed into the sky at a speed that shattered the void with its mighty sword energy!
boom--
This time, Venerable Wanfa finally couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his other hand and raised a halo of defense, which was Yu Tianhuan.
Under the violent impact, the Yutian Ring trembled and buzzed, and almost collapsed again.
The dharma body of the Venerable Wanfa stood up, grasped the huge Yutian Ring, and swung it suddenly!
Boom!
This time, he hit the East China Sea cosmic wheel. The cosmic wheel collided passionately, causing time and space to surge and the world to be in a trance.
At the moment when everyone was trembling, he withdrew and walked away, as if trying to escape.
"Want to run?" Emperor Daughter Phoenix shouted, turning into a blazing phoenix in the air and galloping away in a flash of fire.
Venerable Wanfa opened the Yutian Ring in the air, and with a whoosh, he got into the ring. His body disappeared, and the ring behind him suddenly disappeared.
With the help of this void-shattering artifact, he escaped again.
"Haha!" Emperor Feng could only spit angrily in the end, expressing her anger in such a low-quality way.
Just as he was about to lower his head again to see if there were any stray fish that had escaped to vent his anger, he suddenly noticed that Venerable Qinglong's expression changed, and his whole person suddenly exuded devilish aura!
It turns out that the blow that Venerable Wanfa made before he left was not done casually, but had been planned for a long time. While shaking the East China Sea Cosmic Wheel, Venerable Qinglong's true energy surged and his cultivation became unstable.
At this moment, a black light quietly penetrated into the body of Lord Qinglong.
Before this, Ksitigarbha Yuanshen could enter and exit critical level experts at will, and control the opponent's body, coming and going freely without any difficulty. But now it is no longer the extremely evil Ksitigarbha, but the extremely weak Ksitigarbha.
He had to go through these foreshadowings and complete the possession without Master Qinglong noticing.
Venerable Qinglong, whose demonic aura was rising, grabbed the East China Sea Zhoulun and seemed to be about to take it away. But at this moment, the golden flame in his eyes ignited again, fighting against the red light of demonic energy.
"Ho—" Venerable Qinglong roared, taking advantage of the last moment when the golden flame disappeared, and struck his chest with a palm.
Bang——
This palm was so powerful and heavy that he directly hit himself until blood spurted out, but Ksitigarbha's soul was also forcefully slapped out with this palm.
But the seriously injured Lord Qinglong also fell to the ground, and Badjizo grabbed the East China Sea Celestial Wheel and snatched it away.
But before he could leave, he saw a ray of fire falling from the sky. When the emperor's daughter Feng lowered her head and wanted to find someone to vent her anger, when she saw this scene, she fell to the ground viciously like a hungry tiger pouncing on her food. She wrapped one hand around Akichizo's neck and slammed him Hit the ground.
Ksitigarbha fell into extreme anger.
He had been able to fight against the Ninth Realm before. Only a critical person or a divine weapon could resist once or twice. How had he ever been ridden on the chest by an ant from the Eighth Realm?
"I'll kill..." He was about to kill the ant.
Bang——
He punched the door in front of him, knocking back his voice, and his head was slammed to the ground. The intense samadhi fire was so intense that even the bad Ksitigarbha would feel very hot and painful.
He remembered this fire. When he was in Yudu City and in Shushan, he had fought against the Eighth Realm who used this kind of divine fire. If it weren't for the absolute advantage in strength, this kind of flame would be able to hurt him, so it was very impressive.
The probability of a demon being killed by the Samadhi Divine Fire is very small, but it is by no means zero!
"Ant..." Bad Jizo was so angry that his chest was about to burst.
Bang——
Another punch hit his neck so hard that his head fell back.
"How dare you..." Bad Jizo gritted his teeth.
Bang——
This punch hit him so hard that he couldn't even close his teeth.
He wanted to uncover the opponent and kill him, but the Shushan Shenzhou in mid-air was watching him with eager eyes and was full of sword energy. The bad Ksitigarbha did not dare to fight, so he could only muster up some remaining strength, roar and shake the opponent away, and then escaped from the ground in humiliation.
Before leaving, he turned back and glanced upwards with resentment, wanting to see the other person's appearance clearly, and then kill him in the most cruel way.
But before he could open his eyes, a big foot stepped down with blazing fire, accompanied by a reluctant plea to stay.
"You little bastard, do you still dare to run?"
Bang——
Black-gold blood finally sputtered out.
good evening.
