Ancestor Ande and Emperor Huang Yun didn't have any deep friendship, but they didn't have many conflicts.
It would be better to say that most of the emperors in the underworld have never had any conflicts with Ancestor Ander.
This old guy who survived the ancient catastrophe has not only not become worse and worse in temper like other emperors during the passage of more than five billion years, but his temper has become better and better.
When the emperors of heaven came to explore the underworld, Ancestor Ande never had a conflict with them. If he met them by chance and those people asked him for directions, he would answer honestly. If he knew, he would tell him. If he didn't know, he would not tell him. , never intentionally harm.
If some emperors of the underworld had planned it in advance and planned to set up a trap to harm others, and they happened to be caught by Ancestor Ander, he would run away far away without anyone having to do anything, ensuring that others would even want to ask about things related to that place. , and no trace of him could be found.
Therefore, no matter what the reason is, the strong man who is restricted to the lowest level of the underworld has no reason to target this old guy.
Emperor Huang Yun thought for a while, and then appeared outside to greet Ancestor Ande.
"Fellow Taoist Ande rarely interacted with us brothers in the past, but recently we met often because of the banquets at Jiufang Mountain. But I don't know if Taoist friend is here just for chatting, or there is something else that requires us to go to Zizhu Forest or Jiufangshan to discuss?”
Ancestor Ande chuckled and said: "There is indeed something to discuss, but we can't go to those two places."
As he spoke, the turtle shell under his feet expanded and became as big as a palace.
"I would also like to invite fellow Taoists to enter the remains of my world and speak about them."
Emperor Huang Yun was a little surprised when he heard this.
If the Dao World is at its peak, the power of the Dao's blessings is most in line with the pioneers, and they can do whatever they want, no matter what.
No matter whether others are launching a surprise attack outside the world or sneaking inside to cause any changes, the pioneers can easily use all their power to deal with it.
However, in the state of Jieyu's remains, the power of Dao's blessing has weakened and is not so flexible. Once a strong person of the same level enters the interior of Jieyu's remains, it will undoubtedly be a serious problem.
If the other party has any bad intentions, he will lose the opportunity.
Therefore, in the underworld, only figures like the Master of Jiufang Mountain, who can maintain the scale of the Holy Land, dare to reveal their realm to the outside world for a long time.
Most of the rest of the people would keep Jie Yu's remains contained, not daring to let others easily set foot inside.
"Fellow Daoist Ande, are you asking me to bring the remains of my world into your world?"
Emperor Huang Yun confirmed again.
Ancestor Ande stroked his beard and smiled: "It doesn't matter if a few fellow Taoists come in together."
Something went wrong. Emperor Huang Yun pondered for a moment, called out the three brothers, and asked Emperor Lu Wu to observe from outside. He took the other two brothers and entered Ancestor Ande's Black Turtle Realm together.
The inside of the turtle shell was chaotic, with the five turbid gases everywhere. There was only one sky pillar, standing in the five turbid gases, unmoving, and showing no sign of being eroded.
The top of the Tianzhu stretches out to form four continents, three of which appear to be in the same direction, and the other is extremely broad and in another direction.
Ancestor Ande landed on the top of the Tianzhu, gave out a few futons, and said straight to the point: "Nine directions, regardless of distance, invited guests and gave them magical powers. How long has it passed? Qingdeng directly helped us experience the power." The magic works."
"They are acting in such a hurry. I think it won't be long before they take us to attack the underworld. Are these fellow Taoists really willing to go with them then?"
Emperor Huang Yun remained calm and said: "It turns out that Fellow Taoist Ande wants to talk about this matter, so there is no need to be so mysterious. Since we have received their favor, we have our own thoughts in our hearts."
"Haha, I show such sincerity, why do you need to be so secretive?"
Ancestor Ande said, "Although we don't have a deep friendship, I have always liked to observe others, and I am one of the few who can often exchange anecdotes with the emperors who come to explore the underworld. Naturally, I have heard of Shang. The deeds of Shan Liuyin."
"You all have a kind heart that attaches great importance to love and justice. In your early years, you even studied in the Xuanyuan Holy Land of the human race. Can you really ignore the morality of the human race and attack all the worlds in the world?"
This round-faced old man rarely showed a very serious expression, and said firmly, "You have been in the underworld for only thirty thousand years, and there are four brothers watching and helping each other. I don't believe that this little time can wear down your mentality. "
Emperor Huang Yun and his brothers had the same mind. While listening to Ancestor Ande speak, they had various discussions in their minds.
Emperor Yangguan: "This old guy seems to have other ideas."
"But he is the most tactful person and has the most frequent dealings with the Lord of Jiufang Mountain. It is even less likely that he has any human morality in his heart..."
Emperor Huang Yun secretly said in his heart, "I think he is here to test us. If we expose our true thoughts, maybe Jiufang, Qingdeng and others will come to surround us soon."
However, Emperor Mo Qian said: "Brother, let's not mention Jiufang for the moment. The Supreme Master Qingdeng is said to be able to devour other emperors and improve his own condition."
"If Ander was really instigated by them, then he came to our door right after the meeting in Purple Bamboo Forest. This only proves that they are the most suspicious of us and have been keeping an eye on us. Even if we deny it, can we? Are you going to quell Supreme Master Qing Deng’s appetite?”
Emperor Huang Yun's brows jumped.
Yes, when the Supreme Master Qing Deng entered the world, half of his body had become a ghost. After cultivating the "Dharma Quicksand", he appeared again and ate Jin Bixian in front of everyone in Jiufang Mountain. It was obvious that he was extremely ferocious.
It is said that the Lord of Jiufang Mountain borrowed the aura of the strong man behind him to frighten this vicious man.
If Shangshan Liuyin has really become a major target of suspicion, Supreme Master Qingdeng will have a perfunctory excuse to deal with the forces behind it. I am afraid that he will be disappointed on the spot. What is the use of Shangshan Liuyin's disguise?
"Fourth child."
Emperor Huang Yun said, "Do you think that Ancestor Ande did not tell Jiufang and others his judgment and that he came here this time because he really wants to conspire with us?"
"It doesn't matter whether you're sincere or not."
Emperor Mo Qian said, "With the four of us, if we want to rebel against the enemy, the chance of survival is really slim. If we just hide in the underworld, we will end up waiting for death."
"If he is sincere and there is one more conspirator, our chances of survival will be a little better. If he is fake, then we will just confront those people earlier and face death earlier. No matter how we count, we are not deficit."
Fourth child! It turns out that you also know that just the four of us who rebel against the enemy are seeking death. So what do you want to do when you made this suggestion so firmly before?
Emperor Huang Yun sighed in his heart and suddenly smiled.
Since my brother has this intention, what's the harm in accompanying him?
"Fellow Daoist Ande is right. We really won't be bribed by them just for this small favor, and in turn become a sharp blade in their hands to attack the underworld and harm the world."
Emperor Huang Yun said calmly, "Fellow Taoist invited us to have a secret talk. He must have other thoughts. Why don't we come and listen."
Ancestor Ande showed a smile and said: "I am not willing to obey their orders to attack the underworld and counterattack the human world, but the opportunity of this catastrophe cannot be missed. If we can make contributions to the underworld at the critical moment, we can also escape. opportunity without causing a catastrophic disaster in the world, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?”
This suggestion is very similar to Mo Qian's idea.
However, Mo Qian knew that he would die. With Ancestor Ander's smoothness, it was unlikely that he would have the same thoughts as Mo Qian.
Because the person facing us was not his brother, Emperor Yangguan thought about it and said: "We want to make contributions to the underworld during the war. I am afraid that we will be crushed and suppressed by the forces of Jiufang just after we rebel."
"Hehehe, of course we can't do it on our own."
Ancestor Ande said, "But who said we are the only ones? There will never be only one force that wants to dominate the catastrophe. If there is another force that wants to recruit the emperor of the underworld at this time, what will everyone do? think?"
"In this period of great calamity, to harm the world is tantamount to turning oneself into the focus of calamity. So what if we can speed up the recovery to the peak period? Most of them will still escape death. I believe that among the many emperors in the underworld, there are others People don’t want to go that far.”
"Now that everyone can alleviate their own conditions by replacing the void, it is not so urgent to rush to the human world."
"If another force promises them, they only need to delay their offensive when Jiufang and others attack the underworld, help the underworld, and then help them get rid of Jieyu's remains and send them into the Jiehai. Will they be moved if they don’t have to continue to interfere with the calamity?”
Emperor Huang Yun and others all had expressions of astonishment on their faces.
Compared to the forces behind Jiufang, the promises of this new force are undoubtedly not as beneficial, but they are also more secure.
There are many emperors in the underworld who want to take a chance, but there are definitely some who want to leave the Taiqing underworld as soon as possible and escape from this catastrophe, choosing the second route.
"The question is, can this new force have enough prestige?"
Emperor Mo Qian lowered his eyes and looked at the pillar they were sitting on, with a strange expression on his face, and said, "In other words, does this new force really exist?"
When his other two brothers were suspicious, Ancestor Ander had already laughed.
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from fellow Taoist Mo Qian."
Ancestor Ander said with a smile, "Although I can often chat with the emperors who come to explore the underworld, I am still unwilling to decide which party I want to join. Naturally, no one is willing to really value me."
"I have wasted 5.6 billion years in the underworld, and my old friends from ancient times will never think of me again, so I have no clues about the second force."
Emperor Mo Qian took over the words naturally: "But we can fake it and fake the signs that there is a second force intervening in this operation."
He knocked on the ground, that is, on the sky pillar.
"If I'm not wrong, this Heavenly Pillar is actually the severed leg of the Taoist Master Xuanniao of the Immortal Clan during the ancient catastrophe."
Huang Yun and Yang Guan couldn't help but look surprised after hearing this.
Many deeds of the ancient catastrophe have not been handed down, but the most famous and powerful ones among them will not be forgotten so easily after all.
The Emperor of Heaven had not yet cultivated the complete Dao Fruit at that time, and was still the co-lord of the human race. His most powerful competitors were the Lord of the Immortals and the Lord of the Wilderness.
Dao Zun Xuanniao is the Lord of Immortal Spirits. Long before the ancient catastrophe, he had already reached the end of the realm of Tianzun.
But later, he was beheaded by the Lord of the Wilderness, making the Fairy Clan the first to fail among the three overlords.
"Master Jiufang Mountain has relied on cultivating spiritual fruits to survive since ancient times. Ancestor Ander, you must have relied on this black bird, right?"
Emperor Mo Qian touched the ground and said with emotion, "I have seen relevant records in the ancient books of Xuanyuan Holy Land, but I never thought that I would be able to touch the remains of the black bird in my lifetime."
"After the Lord of the Wilderness killed our Dao Master, he broke through the final limit and cultivated the complete Dao Fruit. In fact, there is not much spiritual Dao charm left in this step."
Ancestor Ande looked nostalgic and said, "But this little thing that is completely dead is still not afraid of the erosion of the five turbid energies, helping me survive the 5.6 billion years of the underworld."
Emperor Yangguan said: "You are also trying to rely on this now to disguise the signs of interference from a second party?"
Emperor Huang Yun shook his head and said: "Although the essence of this thing is high, it is indeed completely dead. It is obviously different from the normal Tianzun-level powerhouse. If you directly borrow the breath of this thing, you cannot win people's trust."
Ancestor Ande smiled: "Does the former Taoist friend Mo know about my plan?"
"The two brothers didn't like miscellaneous books back then, so they probably didn't know that Taoist Master Xuanniao once had a lover who was a descendant of Xuanyuan, the ancient emperor of our human race. Xuanniiao's Taoism also has some connections with Xuanyuan's lineage."
Emperor Mo Qian said, "The secret method of the Six Palaces practiced by our brothers is derived from the first chapter of the Suwen Book of Xuanyuan Holy Land."
Emperor Huang Yun's heart moved slightly. The shadow of Qiheng's Mansion appeared on the surface of the sacred tree behind his head, and he pressed his palm on the ground.
This and the Tianzhu immediately produced a faint radiance, condensing an aura that was both Xuanmen and ancient god.
"The fairy clan was not destroyed after the ancient catastrophe, and the human race flourished after the catastrophe."
Ancestor Ande stared at the faint light and said, "Using the secret method of the Six Palaces and the feet of the black bird, the second aura of power we forged can be said to be an alliance between the human race and the fairy clan."
"In this way, we will have enough prestige to make those emperors of the underworld who do not want to go too deep into the calamity trust our plan. Even if some people do not come to our side after being tempted, they will not dare to offend our side easily. .”
Use a non-existent backer to win over more emperors from the underworld and betray them at critical moments.
Doing this is actually a bit like pulling everyone together to support others, which is not very kind.
But for Emperor Huang Yun and the others, they were lucky to have the opportunity to hold on to their bottom line. In the current situation, they simply didn't have the ability to find fault.
Moreover, although the promise of the second party is false, as long as there are enough people and successfully survive the first wave of shock after the betrayal, the underworld will definitely accept them.
False promises can at least be half fulfilled.
"Okay, okay!"
Emperor Mo Qian did not expect that things would turn around like this.
In this way, their chances of survival are much greater.
"I didn't expect our ancestors to be so righteous. You came here specifically to find us. It can be said to be a help in times of need!"
Emperor Mo Qian stood up and bowed to Ancestor Ande.
"It doesn't have to be like this. I'm not doing it for the moral integrity of the human race. I'm just choosing another supporter to seek stability."
When Ancestor Ander said this, he added something from the bottom of his heart.
"No matter which party is behind the Nine Directions, who wants to target the underworld and challenge the heaven, anyway... I really don't want to stand on the opposite side of the Emperor of Heaven."
That's horrible.
Even if the Lord of the Great Wilderness in the Emperor Demon Pond returns to the state of Dao Guo's true form, the Buddha in the West suddenly goes crazy, and the ancient black bird comes back to life and breaks through again...
Putting it all together, Ancestor Ander really didn't feel that they had a reassuring chance of winning against the Emperor of Heaven.
Now that the two parties have reached a cooperation, Ancestor Ander immediately relies on his long memory of not having a close relationship with anyone, but knowing a little bit about everyone, to select some targets who are more likely to be persuaded by them.
Then they went over one after another and talked secretly one by one.
After some people agreed to join their alliance, they even took the initiative to talk about people they thought were trustworthy and try to win over them.
Before they knew it, they had attracted twenty-one emperors.
The other emperors of the underworld are basically prisoners of heaven, or people with particularly weird personalities. The possibility of joining them is too small, so they don't dare to try rashly.
During this period, Guan Luoyang organized several more events to spread the Dharma and discuss the Tao. However, because the things discussed were not as useful as replacing the void, people who went a few times, even if they showed up slightly, might leave midway. field.
However, there are also nearly forty emperors who arrive every time and continue to stay after participating in the whole process, which profoundly shows their sincerity to join the forces behind Jiufang Mountain.
On this day, Guan Luoyang was teaching Dharma on the lotus, and the voice of the fake Ksitigarbha came from the Muni Pearl.
"How's your layout going?"
Guan Luoyang smiled and said: "It's almost certain. In terms of the time in the underworld, I will follow these plans step by step. In three months at most, we will be able to eliminate hidden dangers and practice the combined attack method for a truly usable emperor."
The fake Ksitigarbha said: "Okay! However, there is not so much time, you'd better get rid of those black sheep within three days.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Guan Luoyang said in surprise, "I'm waiting to see the fate of heaven, and there should be a lot more..."
"Haha, if anyone can predict the changes in luck, how can we call it a big disaster?"
The fake Ksitigarbha said leisurely, "In three days or within ten days, the catastrophe may break out at any time. Those people's self-righteous calculations are really wrong, too many!"
"Fellow Daoist Qingdeng, please do this as soon as possible. If you go to the world together in the future, you will definitely be one of our great talents who will receive all the rewards."
"Leading a single army, guiding all the worlds, ascending the infinite road, and being indestructible for hundreds of millions of eons, this is the achievement we promised you!"
Guan Luoyang smiled softly, his eyes filled with expectation: "Thank you very much."
"I'm going to take action now."
