A pair of hands wavered slightly in front of Xuandu's eyes, dispelling the distraction and sadness in the master's eyes. He still held the pure and subtle aura of Taoism, with his hands clasped in front of him, his whisk resting on his arms. He lowered his eyes and smiled at the young Jade Emperor in front of him. The latter smiled and said, "I see that Master Xuandu, you have suddenly lost your concentration..."

"Are you thinking of your old friend?"

Xuan Du smiled and said, "Yes, I thought of them."

The young Jade Emperor nodded in understanding, then seemed puzzled, then he put his hands behind his back, shook his body, and said: "Then I think your old friends must not be very good either."

"They are not worthy of being your old friends."

Master Xuandu said in a gentle voice: "Oh? Why?"

The young Jade Emperor said as a matter of course: "Because they have never come to visit you!"

"You're made to miss them like that!"

The boy's smile was bright and clear.

He stood on the high jade steps with his hands behind his back.

The Great Master was very tall, and he was standing on a few steps below. When he spoke to the young Jade Emperor, he needed to lean over slightly with a smile on his face.

Just looking at the handsome Taoist's warm eyes and the hair falling down at his temples, he said: "Maybe..."

The Archmage held out his hand and said, "Come, Your Majesty, I will take you to your resting place."

"Okay!"

"I don't know why, I feel a little tired."

The young Jade Emperor jumped down, stretched out his hand and held the hand of the Master Xuandu. The young man took small steps, while the Master walked slowly and happily, his robe flowing like auspicious clouds. The Jade Emperor suddenly smiled and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel very safe holding your hand. Very safe. Master, can I call you sir?"

The handsome Taoist paused.

Then he answered just like every other time in the past eight thousand years, smiling and saying, "Of course."

His fingers dropped, and a ray of inspiration flew out of the Lingxiao Palace, and then turned into a stream of light and flew to another place. The Jade Emperor fell asleep in the palace. There were countless scenes in his dream. There were men in black robes stepping on chains to ascend to heaven and beheading emperors. There was also a man in armor with a cold aura, who seemed familiar yet strange.

But all these have disappeared and cannot be remembered.

I forgot everything.

The Jade Emperor woke up confused, opened his eyes, and looked around for the gentleman, but suddenly saw the gentleman sitting at the table in front of the window, flipping through the files. The young Jade Emperor felt relieved, propped up the jade bed with both hands, and then strode out barefoot, saying, "Sir?!"

The voice paused slightly, and the young Jade Emperor raised his head and looked at the handsome Taoist. Next to him was another Taoist who looked meticulous, but had a clear brow. His hair, Taoist robe, and whisk were all perfect, without a single flaw that was out of place. He was holding a lazy white cat in his arms.

But the white cat is now tense.

The cats exploded.

"Where is this? It's so cute."

The young Jade Emperor reached out and touched the white cat.

The white cat's body was tense, not daring to move. Its pupils had long since become a line, and it looked up stiffly at its master.

Who is this?! Who is this?!

Jade Emperor?!

Who the hell is this?! Take another look!

Jade Emperor!

So it had only one thought in its mind -

I won't, but I will do it now!

The elegant and warm Taoist asked calmly, "Emperor Lingguan, did you call me here to see the Jade Emperor?"

The handsome Taoist who was flipping through the classics said calmly: "Taiyi Tianzun, don't you understand?"

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun looked at the ignorant young Jade Emperor who was playing with the cat, sighed, a trace of compassion reappeared in his eyes, and said: "So, what do you want me to do?"

Master Xuandu was silent for a long time, then said:

"Tian Peng and I are too involved, and the cause and effect are too heavy."

"There's no way we can be around him."

"But you're different."

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun did not answer.

Xuan Du said slowly, "You have just achieved the Great Stage of Enlightenment. You are not involved, and there is no cause and effect. You are the disciple of Master Shangqing. Master Shangqing is lazy and is too lazy to get involved in many issues, so no one bothers you. You have the incarnation of the Ten Directions Heavenly Venerable, which can be spread across all realms. You can participate in the right things at the right time and protect the suffering of the people."

"But the Jade Emperor represents order. Once he dies, the six realms will be in chaos..."

"Eight thousand years, we have survived step by step."

"Isn't he suffering?"

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun remained silent, looking at the young man holding the cat and smiling brightly.

Finally, he sighed and said calmly: "I understand. If the Jade Emperor dies, the order of the six realms will no longer exist, and the people will suffer greatly."

"I am the most suitable disciple who has just achieved enlightenment, has no worries, and has no karma."

"Emperor Lingguan."

Taoist Qingjun interrupted Taiyi Tianzun and frowned, saying, "Although you and I couldn't stand each other and argued with each other when we were young, so much time has passed. There's no need to be so estranged, right?"

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun was silent for a long time, sighed, bowed and said:

"Master Xuandu."

Master Xuandu nodded: "Yes."

The atmosphere between the two Taoists changed obviously. The young man who was holding the white cat in his arms came back to his senses out of curiosity. The body of Jiuling Yuansheng in his arms was almost frozen there, not daring to move, not even to call out. The dignified Jiuling Yuansheng now only dared to meow with a pinched throat.

The young Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Sir, you haven't asked this gentleman yet?"

Master Xuandu smiled and said, "Let him introduce himself."

The young man raised his head, his eyes clear, looking at the graceful Taoist in front of him. The latter smiled gently, then leaned down. The clearest light in the thirty-three heavens entered the palace through the gap in the window, like a hazy beam of light. The layers of Taoist robes rolled up, and the jade pendants and jade beads made crisp sounds. Kuanhe pressed his palm on the top of the young Jade Emperor's head and rubbed it. His voice was warm and he answered:

"I am a disciple of Shangqing, and my name is Taiyi Jiuku. You can just call me by my Taoist name."

The voice paused, and the Taoist who was still Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun replied:

"My temple is located in the east, and my name is Daoist."

"Qinghua."

…

The Jade Emperor regained consciousness briefly, but then Clairvoyance and Ears came to report that the situation was tense and there was no time for Him to slowly accept his identity and past. This was the Jade Emperor's duty, and they went to the Lingxiao Palace together. The Jade Emperor's steps were not fast enough, and Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, whose Taoist name was Qinghua, was beside him, so the young man subconsciously held Taiyi Jiuku's sleeve.

Then he subconsciously reached out his hand towards the great magician Xuandu who was one step ahead of him.

This time, the great master Xuandu lowered his eyes, and the Taoist Qingjun looked at the Jade Emperor who was one step slower than him, but he seemed to see him smiling at him with blood flowing, "I will never forget you..."

The Archmage walked at a leisurely pace.

The Jade Emperor pulled Qinghua.

After all, he was unable to hold on to [Xuan Du] anymore.

When they arrived at the Lingxiao Palace, Thousand-Li Eyes and Wind-Ears reported the current events. Although the two were not in the Heavenly Palace and were the top Taoist beings who were not called the Great Emperor but respected as the Heavenly Venerable, the presence of Thousand-Li Eyes and Wind-Ears made their hearts skip a beat, but even if they combined their fighting power, they could not defeat the Giant Spirit God in a single blow. Yet, he was able to get a position in front of the Lingxiao Palace and had lived for so long, so naturally his eyesight and mental strength were first-rate.

The clairvoyant pretended not to see it.

Shunfenger pretended not to hear.

They all reported the intelligence among the monsters, then turned around and retreated, following the instructions of the old ox, and found a strong and sturdy Jianmu wooden pillar. They knocked themselves unconscious with the clanging of the wood, and their spiritual power obscured their memories.

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun said: "That's quite clever..."

The young Jade Emperor's eyes widened slightly, recalling the previous reports of the two God Generals. Even if the Jade Emperor was blank, he was still the Jade Emperor. In an instant, he felt that something he needed to protect was attacked. Xuandu stretched out his palm to press his shoulder, so that the Jade Emperor, who was not afraid of tigers, would not burst out with strength, and said: "You have the Haotian Mirror, you can take a look at the situation."

"There is still a North Pole in Heaven."

The Jade Emperor was stunned, and then was told about the North Pole, the Four Emperors, and the Haotian Mirror.

Only then did he summon the Haotian Mirror as if he had realized something. A ray of light spread out. Even if it had lost its memory, the Haotian Mirror still only obeyed its only master. Streams of light appeared on the screen, showing the changes in the entire battle situation. The young Jade Emperor sat there holding the Haotian Mirror, staring at it intently. Behind him, the handsome and free-spirited Master Xuandu and Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun sat opposite each other.

Talk about the general trend.

Outside the thirty-three heavens, the falling stars and the swaying stars showed their majestic power, beautiful and brilliant, magnificent and dazzling. It was like thousands of arrows were shot at the same time, circling the world.

Sweep.

The mountain strikes!

Then the stars are scattered and become even more brilliant.

Gou Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Okay——"

What he sensed was the threat from Hou Tu and the heavy weapon. Hou Tu's injuries had not actually improved much, but new veins of the earth had come under her control. Although her injuries were still not healed, the upper limit of the power she could control had increased, and her strength had improved a lot.

His sleeves fluttered, and his body seemed extremely small among the endless stars and starry sky.

Then the stars scattered over the thirty-three heavens.

The thunder mace in Hou Tu's palm was against the ground, and the woman's eyes were shining. The power of Mount Buzhou was displayed, and the strength from the Lord of the Earth opened up a new side here. With a move of her wrist, the earth outside the thirty-three days spread out again, and then one mountain range after another rose from the ground like a spear in the area outside the thirty days, piercing the sky like a spear tip!

The existence of Gou Chen and Hou Tu became insignificant in the scene of falling stars and forests of guns in the mountains.

It's like a battle between the stars and the mountains.

Silent and legendary.

A moment of dead silence -

boom!!!

When a star collides with a mountain, the fire and thunder that burst out are enough to bring annihilation to the world, but at this moment, there are countless and innumerable! Hou Tu holds the Thunder Mace in her right hand, standing on the "earth" outside the thirty-three heavens. Her simple and elegant sleeves are rolled up, revealing her white wrists. Her black hair is dancing, and she raises her eyes, and dragons and snakes are roaring under her feet.

The sky was silent and dark. From left to right, from very near to very far, countless flames exploded. One hundred thousand mountains and stars collided and were annihilated together, giving off an endless wave of terror that was enough to drive immortals and gods to despair, making the darkness brilliant.

Gou Chen broke through the aftermath that was enough to destroy the world and pulled the arrow into the air.

Dozens of stars were shining brightly above the sky, and on earth there was a constellation called Xuanxiao that was lit up.

A whole constellation.

Transformed into the bow and arrow of Gou Chen.

Hou Tu's eyes were cold. She drew out the Hongtian Mace and continued to move forward.

The remaining light of Gou Chen looked towards the human world.

Demon King, where are you? !

But Hou Tu only had murderous intent in his heart.

The child had given her the last chance of victory, and he was gone.

She can't lose!

So the two warriors fought again under a star-lit sky. Because a certain great sage of the demon clan who was best at coordination did not participate in the war, and because of the unexpected dispatch of troops from the human world, the entire front line was directly deadlocked. The million-strong army that represented the demon clan's hope of a comeback had turned around, and many generals of the fighting department had also gathered here.

"Where is Taibai Yuanjun?"

"Taibai has arrived."

"Where is Mude Xingjun?"

“I am already here.”

One of the iconic characters representing the top combat power of the True Lord, the True Lord Giant Spirit, who is also very good at commanding the army, paces as the vanguard in this battle. Basically, ordinary guys are no match for the Giant Spirit, and if the opponent can defeat the Giant Spirit, it means it will be more difficult, and if the Giant Spirit is defeated quickly, then it will be a big trouble.

At this moment, he solemnly assembled his army. The heavens could not participate in the war on earth, and Hou Tu had abandoned the heavens, which resulted in them having no reason to fight for the earth. The giant spirit was a little annoyed at this moment. He glanced with his tiger eyes and asked, "Has the war troop of Yun Zhiyi, the Lord of the Ox Star, arrived?"

The calm male voice replied, "Yes!"

"Well, is Lord Vega here?"

The cold female voice replied:

"exist."

"Well, you are here... eh?!!!" The giant spirit responded, but immediately found something wrong. He suddenly grabbed the jade slip, veins bulged on his forehead, and strode forward. He raised his hand to push away the many warriors in front of him, and saw that everyone had strange expressions on their faces. They looked at a short-haired man squatting there, pinching his throat and speaking in a woman's voice:

"Of course."

The latter was wearing armor and a battle robe, and his figure was tall and majestic.

Obviously, he is also a star god.

Strong and powerful!

The female voice is also strong and powerful!

This guy never gets tired of it, sometimes talking in a male voice and sometimes in a female voice.

Used to increase credibility.

Having a lot of fun.

Occasionally he would sneer and say, "The Giant Spirit God is so stupid that he definitely won't be able to find it."

Then continue the performance.

The giant's eyes fell dimly, and the surroundings became dead silent. The man seemed to have noticed something, and he looked up stiffly, turned around little by little, and saw the giant holding the list and serving as the commander of the vanguard army. Seeing the latter's eyes spitting fire, he waved his hand stiffly and laughed, "Ah, hahahaha, isn't this brother giant?"

"What are you staring at me for?"

"do what!"

The giant spirit grabbed the man by the collar and lifted him up, his eyes blazing with fire as he shouted angrily, "Niu Jinniu!"

"What are you doing?!"

"Where is the Cowherd? Where is the Weaver Girl?"

"Where did they go?"

He was so angry that every time he spoke, he poked the old ox in the chest with his big, thick, carrot-like fingers. The latter laughed dryly and staggered back, saying, "I, I don't know."

"Humph, even if you don't tell me, I know it!"

"Yun Zhiyi and Zhinu have a grudge against Qing Jingwei of the demon clan. Now the Taoist priest who was surrounded and killed disrupted Qing Jingwei's ritual."

"That's why they were hunted down. Given their personalities, they must have begged the Northern Emperor to help them but he refused, so they secretly went to the lower world!"

"Humph, fleeing from the battle line, but for a personal vendetta, what a heroic spirit!"

The giant spirit was extremely angry and poked the old ox with one finger after another.

It almost burst his alveoli.

The old ox couldn't really turn hostile again, so he just smiled dryly and retreated.

The Beidi lineage has a fine tradition of secretly descending to the mortal world.

But he didn't dare to tease like that.

He just retreated, holding onto the table.

However, because of his duties as the commander of the vanguard army of the giant spirit, he had the military seal. Every time he poked it with his finger, the seal would light up, and the armor on the old ox would fall apart piece by piece and fall on the table with a clang. In the end, even the star god's waist badge was taken away and placed on the table next to him. The giant spirit then pulled out a rope from his waist, and the old ox's mouth twitched.

It's over, we have to go in.

Old Cloud, Weaver Girl, Old Cow, I tried my best...

But he saw that the rope around the giant spirit's waist was placed on the table, and he was not tied up.

Then, the giant spirit drew a sword from his waist and placed it on the table while the old ox, whose face turned pale and who thought he was going to be cut open to get the ox gall, looked at him.

The last one is a jade pendant representing the immortal armor.

The giant spirit retracted his finger, turned it into a fist and pressed it against the old yellow cow's chest, saying, "It's easy to defeat them both."

"You should be careful and pull them back. This set of armor and weapons has not been registered with the Heavenly Armor Institute. After you change the armor and weapons, be clean and don't leave any clues. Otherwise, the demon tribe won't be able to say anything. Damn it, the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd threw away their armor and weapons to show that they have nothing to do with the Heavenly Court. Damn, how much armor and weapons can White Tiger Guardian God save his life?"

The old ox looked at the star gods and generals around him in a daze.

But he saw that the brothers were all yawning and walking away, as if they didn't see him at all.

"Forget it, forget it. Should I fight this monster or not? I'm sleepy!"

"Old Cow, let's have a drink together!"

They were arm in arm, talking to the air.

The old ox was stunned, and then ecstatic: "Hahaha, I knew it, the giant spirit!"

"You must have profited from this!"

The giant spirit was furious: "Go to hell, you old cow!"

"This is my own personal relationship!"

"After you're done beating him up, remember to come back and give it back to me!"

He kicked the old yellow ox out. The old yellow ox happily carried the sword and ran wildly in armor. The giant spirit looked solemn, looking at the ancient demon court formation below that had defeated the Taoist Tianzun. His eyes were calm, and then he waved his hand to let the gods disperse. Then he directly picked up two jars of wine, walked into the general's tent, stopped two of the four kings belonging to the Tianshu Academy, and laughed:

"Hahaha, two Heavenly Kings, where are you going?"

"I have two jars of fine wine here. They are good stuff. Anyway, the demon tribe and the earth gods are fighting each other, what does it have to do with us?"

"Hahaha, never mind, let's drink! Drink!"

…

"Hou Tu Gou Chen, they are evenly matched at this moment."

"If the demon clan releases the demon king's fighting power and raids the enemy camp, Hou Tu will be in danger and Gou Chen will win."

"If the demon race is held back, then Hou Tu and Gou Chen will also have a fifty-fifty chance of winning or losing."

"Unless Hou Tu recovers from her injuries, we can defeat Gou Chen. However, it is possible to defeat the Four Imperial Guards, but it is difficult to severely injure them. Now, the key to victory lies in the million-strong army of the demon race and the effectiveness of the ancient demon court formation. Whether it can be stopped."

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and Xuandu Dafashi discuss the situation.

The young Jade Emperor really didn't understand these things, nor was he interested. He just looked at the Haotian Mirror and saw the situation in various places. He saw that a group of 100,000 cavalrymen from the human race were charging desperately, as if they were planning to rush into the demon race and try their best to stop the gathering of the large formation.

The young Jade Emperor stood in awe, then his eyes swept across the million-strong army and was suddenly startled.

His gaze subconsciously dropped and saw a small dot in the vast demon clan territory. He subconsciously asked the Haotian Mirror to show the scenery there, but he saw that it was just a mountain. On the mountain, a young Taoist in a clean Taoist robe stood quietly, with a zither on his back. His eyes were calm, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

Then, I don’t know what he was looking at, he raised his eyes slightly, his eyes were clear, in the mirror.

The young Jade Emperor placed his finger on his chin and frowned in curiosity.

“That’s strange.”

"I think I've seen this Taoist before."

Qi Wuhuo raised his head and looked at the demons flying across the sky with a peaceful expression. He said in his heart, "Sir, I am already here. The demons are gathering in a million-strong formation. I have to complete the gathering in the mountains before that."

A voice of careful listening rose in Qi Wuhuo's heart:

"That's it, that's it?"

"It's not a difficult task, but, boy, do you want to do something big?"

"Big one?"

"Yes! It's true! For example, I can charge head-on and disrupt the battle formation of a million-strong coalition army!"

The young Taoist heard the voice of Di Ting, and was faintly excited when he heard it. He said calmly: "Sir, even if I am really the Lord of Mount Tai, it is easy to be pulled away like this. Many ants can kill an elephant, not to mention that I am the ant, so please calm down... and then..."

The young Taoist raised his eyes and looked into the distance. He vaguely saw countless evil spirits rising into the sky. Even the sky changed color. He murmured:

"A million troops."

"There are only over ten thousand people, and it's already a tsunami, let alone a million? There are also many strange beasts."

"My sword is only three feet in circumference. Even if I defeat them, I can't kill them all if I want."

"That's true, but have you forgotten that you have a weapon with an absolutely large range?"

Qi Wuhuo was slightly startled, then realized what he was talking about:

"Sir, are you talking about destroying the Buddha and beheading the emperor?"

In the Netherworld City of the Dead, Di Ting was obviously satisfied that Qi Wuhuo still remembered this thing, and said, "Yes!"

"The sound of the zither is gathering momentum. In an instant, it will spread over a hundred miles without any problem!"

"And the most crucial part of this formation is the foundation of this million-strong coalition army!"

The young Taoist glanced at the guqin behind him and said:

"But I still can't play the string of the [ghost]."

Qi Wuhuo's zither for destroying Buddha and beheading the emperor has five strings: heaven, earth, man, gods and ghosts, which are different from the ones used by Fuxi back then.

But now, that ghost was made from the blood of countless Yin gods in the underworld, and Qi Wuhuo's level was not enough to pull it.

Di Ting said: "You can't play it by yourself, but now there are thirty-two earthly immortals and ghosts in the strings, they will help you play it!"

Qi Wuhuo said: "Even if I can play it loudly, the sound of my zither is not good at killing."

Di Ting had an urge to burst into laughter, and he actually laughed out loud, with such excitement that his body trembled slightly:

"Hahaha, you are not good at killing, but its original owner is not bad at killing."

"Sir, you mean..."

Di Ting laughed loudly, his face slightly pale, but his eyes were slightly red due to extreme excitement. In this dark place, he pointed to his ear and said, "The sound of Fuxi's zither has been lost?! Hahahaha, lost? Lost at all, hahaha! It's just that it's not recorded in words! I am Di Ting, I am Di Ting, the master of Tianji Pavilion, who has insight into the Four Noble Truths!"

"Of course I know how to play this thing!"

He looked at the body of Ksitigarbha in front of him.

I thought of Ksitigarbha's compassion and could not bear to see the suffering of common people.

Shouldn't he have done something like this to make Jizo uncomfortable...

The excitement of listening carefully paused.

After thinking about it, he took a piece of cloth and covered Dizang's eyes.

Then he sat down behind Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Then don't watch it!

Di Ting's smile was ferocious: "The music played by the great Emperor Taiji, Fuxi."

“I still remember!”

"Qi Wuhuo, you have fulfilled your promise, now it's my turn to fulfill mine!"

His eyes were slightly red, and the young Taoist stood in front of the million-strong army with his sleeves fluttering.

The thought sounded——

"I will teach you how to use the zither that was used when Empress Nuwa died and Fuxi went crazy!"
