Chapter 589: Jiushan responds, Kunlun defends
"Mr. Yun wants to ambush Zheng Fa?"
The elder asked.
After getting the information about Hao Ri, Old Han quickly delivered it to the Emperor of Heaven. At this time, the top leaders of Jiushan Sect gathered together again in Ziweiyuan.
"The Thick Earth Magnetic Formation has also detected news of Nishang Yuanjun," the Emperor explained. "There are also some disciples from the Leiyin Temple. Since the old monk Zhitong died, they followed Nishang Yuanjun and will arrive in the Nine Mountain Realm soon." (There is an errata here. I forgot about it in the previous article, which led to the old man Zhitong's resurrection. I only discovered it when I read the previous article a few days ago. I have corrected it. Sorry.)
Haori Mountain is still some distance away from the Nine Mountains, not to mention that Nishang Yuanjun is bringing a group of disciples with her and they haven't arrived yet.
"Leiyin Temple disciples... that's a small matter."
If Zhitong were still alive, the Nine Mountains Realm would never let this person pass through, but to be honest, these Leiyin disciples didn't care too much.
"The problem still lies with Haori Mountain," Senior Sister Zhang said. "That Golden Sun Burning Heaven Formation sounds incredibly powerful. How do we counter it?"
Everyone looked at the Heavenly Emperor's body. The Heavenly Emperor's body thought for a long time and said, "This matter is actually not difficult. Since my main body is well prepared, it won't be a big problem."
Everyone nodded gently. This wasn't because the Emperor was blindly confident, but because the Nine Mountains Sect had done in-depth research on formations, and their understanding of the Thick Earth Elemental Magnetic Formation was even more profound. They were well aware of its advantages and disadvantages.
The advantages are obvious: strong power and wide range.
The rest are shortcomings - lack of flexibility, high resource requirements, and harsh conditions.
If Zheng Fa is prepared, it won't be a big problem.
"The focus now is on the progress of the Dao Body design," the Heavenly Emperor instructed. "This matter concerns the Hongmeng Purple Qi and the use of the Qiankun Cauldron."
Senior Sister Zhang echoed, "The opening of the Underworld has only just begun to impact us. The Golden Immortal will gradually enter the Mysterious Realm..."
Everyone's face looked gloomy.
Now the return of Yun Zhenxian is not a big problem, but it is different for Jinxian.
The elder asked, "How is the Zhuxian Sword Formation progressing?"
"It's very slow, so we can only rely on the Qiankun Ding."
Everyone's faces grew gloomier.
The old man fell into deep thought: "I was thinking, the Golden Sun Burning Sky Formation sounds good too."
These words came out of nowhere, and everyone was even more confused. Only the Emperor of Heaven raised his eyebrows, as if he understood: "Are you trying to steal that formation?"
The old man's face was full of matter-of-factness: "We have to guard against the Golden Immortal. Isn't that Yun guy just bragging? That formation can resist the Golden Immortal. This is fate!"
“…”
Uncle Pang opened his mouth, closed it, and then opened it again.
Even the Emperor of Heaven was a little confused.
Don’t say that, don’t say that.
It’s better to buy than to make, no, it’s better to rob!
Senior Sister Zhang's eyes were filled with excitement. "We're not sure whether the Immortal Executioner Sword Formation can be advanced. On the one hand, Zheng Fa may not be able to learn how to use the Qiankun Cauldron. On the other hand, we can only guess how effective the Qiankun Cauldron will be. The Golden Sun Burning Heaven Formation is indeed an alternative."
The elder's words opened everyone's minds to the wrong ideas.
Of course, the Zhu Xian Sword Formation must be practiced, as it is an exclusive technique.
But the Golden Sun Burning Sky Formation is also very fragrant.
Who would complain about having too many formations?
The old man stroked his beard, his expression calm and unfathomable.
"However, the secret of this formation seems to be entirely in Yun Zhenxian's mind, and he also controls the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow." Uncle Pang frowned again. "For so many years, he has never revealed it to the outside world. Unless Yun Zhenxian surrenders, it will not be easy to find out how to control this formation..."
Lu Yao must have trusted Yun Zhenxian very much and entrusted Haori Mountain to him. Even the Golden Sun Burning Sky Formation seemed to be the only one who could fully master it.
Yun Zhenxian is probably extremely loyal to Lu Yao. It would be ten or even a hundred times more difficult to make him defect than to the Lord of Shuyu Dragon.
When everyone was struggling, they saw the old man with a determined smile on his face, as if he had already planned it.
"Master?"
"Have you forgotten the 72 Earthly Demon Transformations?"
"Seventy-two Earthly Demon Transformations?"
"He doesn't want to betray Lu Yao..." The old man's face was full of understanding, "Let's help him!"
“…”
"I've already written the storybook!"
The hall was silent for a moment. After a long moment, Uncle Pang stammered, "Master... Senior Brother, if I have been disrespectful in the past, please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart."
"Oh."
…
In Jiuyao Heaven, Zheng Fa sat in his small courtyard, looking at a manuscript in front of him.
There is a title on the cover of the manuscript - A species design based on the deduction of the spread of Taoism.
The Kunlun meeting was imminent, and he also sorted out the conclusions of the two worlds on the design of the Tao body.
In Zheng Fa's opinion, this trip to Kunlun was similar to a thesis defense, so he simply wrote a paper.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zheng Fa entered the manuscript into the jade tube and burned it, then walked out of the yard and headed towards the entrance of the Wuzang Temple.
The five internal organs are empty and there is no one.
These people all have their own things to do, and most of the time, they are not in the view.
For example, Bai Lian is going to follow the two ancestors to accumulate merits, Jin Chi Dapeng is going to work in the Heavenly Palace, and Bai Gu and Gu Shen are also very busy.
In addition to everyone looking for opportunities, the strangeness of the Five Internal Organs Temple also makes everyone unwilling to stay.
They seem to be even busier these days. Except for Zheng Fa who occasionally returns to Wuzang Temple to organize manuscripts, the others are nowhere to be seen.
Even the Taoist priest Zaohua is often not in the temple, and no one knows what he is doing.
Just as Zheng Fagang reached the door, a golden phoenix descended from the sky and landed at the entrance of the temple. It pecked at the wooden door, as if knocking impatiently.
Yuanshi had already said that he would send someone to pick him up - Kunlun is vast, and Yuanshi is a quiet person. Ordinary people cannot find their place of meditation, so Zheng Fa naturally has no way to find it.
But I didn't expect it to be a golden phoenix.
Zheng Fa sat on the back of the golden phoenix and flew towards the west.
During this period, the external situation has changed again - the two tribes of wizards and liches have started fighting.
As we flew along, we heard shouts and cries of killing everywhere.
The stars in the sky were crumbling, the mountains on the ground were collapsing, and red water was flowing in the rivers.
The evil energy between heaven and earth is visible to the naked eye, and there is no pure land in the world anymore.
Fortunately, these liches are not very intelligent, and this golden phoenix seems to have some background:
People I knew didn't dare to stop me, and people I didn't know couldn't stop me either. I traveled unhindered all the way. After walking for half a month, I saw undulating mountains in the distance, and the steep ridges were like walls, blocking the way ahead.
We have arrived at Kunlun.
As soon as he approached Kunlun, Zheng Fa realized that this place was different. The wizards and liches seemed to be afraid of the Three Pure Ones in Kunlun and did not dare to act recklessly here.
The Kunlun Mountains are still beautiful, full of fresh air and extremely peaceful.
The golden phoenix returned here, as if relieved of a heavy burden. It chirped happily and glided in the air, heading deep into the mountains.
Zheng Fa suddenly turned around and looked behind him. Behind him, there was nothing.
The man and the phoenix disappeared behind the hill.
The figures of Gu God and White Bone Demon Ancestor appeared, and White Bone Demon Ancestor whispered, "Has he discovered us?"
"It's hard to say. Maybe he just glanced at it casually."
The Gu God chuckled.
"Can you still keep up?"
The Gu God's face was full of confidence, "Of course! He didn't go far. Even if he did, he couldn't escape."
"Wait!" The White Bone Demon Ancestor's eyes flashed with spiritual fire, and he turned to look towards the east. "Daoyou Dapeng, don't you have to go to the Heavenly Palace for duty today?"
A golden light flashed across the sky, and a golden-winged roc appeared before the two of them. It looked in the distance, where Zheng Fa had disappeared, and sneered, "Aren't you here too?"
“…”
The Gu God and the White Bone Demon Ancestor remained silent, exchanging glances. The Gu God slowly said, "Now that we're here, then fellow Daoist Bai Lian and fellow Daoist Zao Hua..."
A Buddhist chant was heard, and Bai Lian appeared from behind the two people: "I am here to look for the two ancestors. But fellow Daoist Zaohua..."
"I'm worried about Fellow Daoist Shi's safety."
The Taoist of Creation laughed, and the Golden-Winged Dapeng's expression was filled with disdain: "You're talking nonsense and trying to cover up things. Which of us didn't come here for the opportunity of the Stone? Which of us didn't come here for the Primordial Purple Qi?"
“…”
Zaohua and the others remained silent.
"Even if those six people don't want us to go, they are just shadows after all. What can they do to me?" said the Golden-Winged Roc proudly.
Bai Lian lowered her head and just muttered something in a low voice.
The Golden-Winged Dapeng continued, "I've been searching for them in Kunlun for several days now, but I couldn't find any trace of them. That's why I followed Shi Nandang..."
The Gu God suddenly chuckled: "Daoyou Dapeng speaks frankly, and I will say it frankly too. As cultivators, we cannot miss any opportunity. However, I have been searching here for a long time, but my children have found nothing."
Taoist Zaohua and Bai Lian were both silent, obviously feeling the same way.
There was a distance between them, and the looks they gave each other were full of wariness.
"After all, we want to fight for the opportunity of Shi Nandang. We can't say we can snatch it away, but we have to give it a try." The Golden-winged Dapeng said impatiently, "What's the point of waiting here?"
The Gu God nodded slightly and said, "Why don't we go together and then each do what he wants?"
"good."
Everyone then nodded.
The Gu God brought the White Bone Demon Ancestor and flew forward following Zheng Fa's trail.
The other three were not willing to be outdone and followed Zheng Fa from a distance.
The Golden Phoenix took Zheng Fa through the mountains until they reached an inconspicuous peak, where it stopped and looked back at Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa immediately understood, dismounted from the bird, and bowed forward, saying, "I am a junior student, and I have been invited to come."
The hilltop beneath their feet lit up with a clear light, revealing a path paved with starlight, which twisted and turned as it extended towards the sky.
At the end of the road, a gentle response came: "Come in."
Zheng Fashen stepped on the starlight and slowly walked towards the sky.
When Jin Chi Dapeng and others arrived, Zheng Fa had already disappeared, and even the golden phoenix had disappeared without a trace.
The five people looked left and right, but could not see anything unusual about the mountain.
Bai Lian thought for a moment, then stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully, "Monk Bai Lian requests an audience."
The mountain didn't react at all.
The other four people tried it one after another, and the same thing happened.
No one was surprised, except for the Golden-winged Dapeng, who sneered, "That day, Yuanshi only valued the stone and didn't value us. Now, even if we beg him ten thousand times, it's useless."
The Taoist of Creation asked, "What do you think?"
"He won't let me in! I insist on going in!" the Golden-Winged Dapeng shouted sternly, "A few residual souls who have been dead for who knows how many years are playing tricks here! Shi Nandang isn't even a Dao Fruit, so why can he go in but I can't?"
"No... This place is fragile."
"How can outsiders imagine the magical powers of my Dapeng clan?" The Golden-winged Dapeng was extremely confident and shouted softly, "Open!"
The space in front of them shook, like waves surging.
Above the five people's heads, a whirlpool-like hole appeared, and there were faint voices coming from the hole.
"Daoyou Dapeng has gained a lot from listening to the teachings this time."
Bai Lian clasped his hands together and smiled.
The other people also looked envious.
Apart from Shi Nandang who got the chance, the one who gained the most from listening to the teachings this time was actually the Golden-winged Dapeng. Relying on his Dapeng bloodline, he understood a lot of cultivation methods in the Zixiao Palace, and his cultivation had really improved a lot.
Everyone also understood why he was so obsessed with Zheng Fa's opportunity.
This is not just a problem of Hongmeng Purple Qi.
This person had tasted the sweetness of listening to the teachings in Zixiao Palace, so naturally he also wanted to listen to the teachings of these six great men.
Unexpectedly, he actually found it!
The golden-winged Roc flashed and rushed into the whirlpool.
"Who are you, a beast, to be so rude?" A cold shout suddenly came from the whirlpool. It sounded like the person who had just responded to Shi Nandang, but the tone was cold.
Dapeng ignored it and continued to rush towards the depths of the whirlpool.
A finger suddenly stretched out from the hole. The finger was white and the nails looked even whiter than jade.
The finger moved downward, tapping the top of Dapeng's head before suddenly returning, like a dragonfly skimming the water. The hole in the vortex slowly closed, and only one sentence from Nuwa could be heard: "The young demons are ignorant, so please don't blame me, Brother Yuanshi."
"A small punishment and a big warning will be enough."
Taoist Zaohua looked down.
The golden-winged Roc landed on the ground, seemingly unharmed, but the arrogance on its face was completely gone, and what remained was the fear that came from the bottom of its bones.
They could even see the golden-winged Roc trembling.
"Fellow Daoist, what are you doing..."
"I..." The Golden-Winged Dapeng looked at them blankly, "I forgot."
"Forgot?"
"Those cultivation methods I heard about in Zixiao Palace, those secret techniques I learned in Heaven... No, no, the inheritance in my bloodline is all gone!"
"I……"
The golden-winged Roc, who had been sharp-tongued just now, now spoke with fear in his tone.
Taoist Zaohua also felt a chill in his bones. Although the golden-winged Roc looked uninjured, even its bloodline inheritance was gone. For the demon clan, the path to the future was cut off.
Not to mention that Golden-Winged Dapeng is such an arrogant person, even he can empathize with him.
He looked at Bai Lian and asked, "Who are these six people?"
Bai Lian clasped her hands together and whispered, "I don't know."
"have no idea?"
"I only know that the source of all the teachings of my Leiyin Temple is these two ancestors."
Taoist Zaohua was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Among them, is there a Taoist called Taishang?"
“…”
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion and silently looked at the ordinary mountain.
Bai Lian, who held the highest status, clasped his hands together and sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Fellow Daoist Shi, this is truly a great opportunity."
…
Zheng Fa just wanted to curse.
The judges of the defense are six saints, and six saints who can fight. Who can stand this?
