The battle between Yun Zhongzi and Confucius was quite dramatic. Yun Zhongzi first broke the golden bridge by exploding the magic weapon in his hand. Then, every time Confucius attacked Yun Zhongzi, he had to pay the price of a pirated magic weapon. While Yun Zhongzi was heartbroken, Confucius was also cursing in his heart. How did Yun Zhongzi come up with such a cheating method?
Meanwhile, while the battle raged above, Taiyi Zhenren and Antarctic Immortal exchanged a glance, then suddenly stood up and addressed the Qin army: "Li Si of the mortal realm has usurped power in Qin, defied authority, held the Qin king hostage, and misled the people of Qin, thus violating the majesty of the Emperor. Wang Jian is a remnant of the witch clan, who, together with Li Si, has seized control of the court. This is a heinous crime. We are here by order of the Jade Emperor to punish you. You must surrender immediately, or you will be killed without mercy when the army is defeated."
Li Si and Wang Jian exchanged a glance, then Li Si stood up. Looking at the Qin army below, completely unmoved by Taiyi Zhenren's words, Li Si couldn't help but admire Wang Jian's military leadership. He straightened his clothes and addressed the Qi army: "The Jade Emperor of Heaven has been misled by a man, wrongly decreeing the Mandate of Heaven and appointing the false emperor Tian Xuan as emperor. This erroneous act affects all living beings. I, Li Si, though unworthy, wish to use my meager strength to punish him and restore order to the world. No one is perfect; everyone makes mistakes. It is said: 'To know one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue.' If you repent early, you may still be able to follow the natural order. Otherwise, when my army wins, you will surely enter the eighteen levels of hell and never be reborn."
The people of this time were very superstitious, and the Qi soldiers also felt that what Li Si said made sense. If Haotian was truly bewitched and made a mistake, they would really have to go to the eighteenth level of hell. Mortals are superstitious, so naturally they were terrified of such things.
Taiyi Zhenren glanced at the Qi army below, then at the Qin army opposite. While admiring Li Si, he couldn't help but sigh that the Qi army's discipline was inferior to that of the other army. He looked at Li Si and said loudly, "You are all stubborn and unrepentant, which is not because I am heartless. Today, I will bring you to court to be punished." After saying that, he waved his hand, and the 200,000 heavenly soldiers who came down from the Heavenly Court immediately attacked the Qin army.
Taiyi Zhenren also left with his long sword, and in an instant, war broke out and chaos ensued. Antarctic Immortal found Li Si. Li Si had studied under Han Fei for a period of time. Although he was not as good as Antarctic Immortal, he was still extraordinary. As a mortal, he became a celestial immortal after a hundred years. It must be said that Li Si was very talented.
However, this level of cultivation was nothing more than an ant in the eyes of the Antarctic Immortal. Protected by Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, the Antarctic Immortal was a lucky man. He hadn't made much of a appearance in the Investiture of the Gods war, and his cultivation had already reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Li Si was no match for him. Fortunately, the Antarctic Immortal wasn't bloodthirsty; he only intended to entangle them, keeping Li Si and Wei Liao occupied and preventing them from commanding the army. Once the Qin army was defeated, these people would be no threat at all.
Taiyi Zhenren encountered Wang Jian, and it was Taiyi Zhenren's bad luck. Wang Jian was a great witch, and although he couldn't compare to Bai Qi, he was still considered to be a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Taiyi Zhenren had also suffered a calamity in the Yellow River Formation, and afterward, with the help of the Heavenly Court, his cultivation recovered faster than other Chan Sect Golden Immortals, but not by much. Now he had only barely recovered his cultivation to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, and was no match for Wang Jian at all.
Fortunately, the 200,000 heavenly soldiers moved as if they were in an empty field, causing chaos and disorder in the Qin army.
These celestial soldiers were always selected by Haotian from among the cultivators of the mortal realm, and their cultivation levels were not particularly high, basically equivalent to those cultivators in the Void Returning stage in the mortal world. However, they should not be underestimated. Two hundred thousand Void Returning stage cultivators, and they were managed like an army. Of course, to a truly powerful being, they were basically no different from ants, and could be wiped out with a wave of their hand.
However, the situation was different among the Qin army. Although the Earthly Immortal Realm was rich in spiritual energy and the lifespan of humans was generally longer than that of people on Earth, the long-term absorption of spiritual energy, coupled with the cultivation within the Qin army, meant that some of these Qin soldiers had the cultivation of Innate Realm martial artists. The three million Qin soldiers were still quite formidable.
Despite being under the same military management, they encountered an army descended from the heavens, like tigers among sheep. The Qin army was unable to withstand the celestial soldiers' slashing swords. The only thing they could do was to admire the weapons these celestial soldiers wielded, which were of poor quality and could not compare to the magical weapons of the cultivators.
The Heavenly Court of today is different from the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan in ancient times. In ancient times, the Demon Clan dominated the world, and only the Witch Clan could rival them. The Heavenly Court had hundreds of millions of demon soldiers with thick armor and weapons. Even the weapon of a casualty could cause a fight among the cultivators of the mortal world today.
Since the fall of the ancient demon court, the treasure trove of the Sun Palace has been completely stolen by a certain thief. Most of the weapons of those dead lich warriors were left behind in the world. Some were completely dismembered and exploded into pools, while a very small number were picked up by some lucky ones. Well, they were quite lucky.
Now, when Taiyi Zhenren fought with Wang Jian, he suffered a great loss. Taiyi Zhenren was no match for Wang Jian at all.
According to the original course of history, Taiyi Zhenren should have achieved extraordinary things by now. With the merit of establishing the Ten Yama Kings in the Underworld, he not only recovered his cultivation but also made further progress, severing a corpse incarnation to become the Eastern Azure Wood Emperor, which is quite remarkable.
With Xuan Tian's involvement, the newly established Heavenly Court launched an action to divide the Heavenly Court's power. Due to its relationship with Hou Tu, the Underworld was basically independent. The Heavenly Court nominally managed it, but in reality, it was still the Penglai Island people who operated it behind the scenes.
In desperation, Yuanshi appointed Taiyi Zhenren as the Northern Purple Emperor. The Underworld was a tempting target, but under the circumstances, offending Xuantian for this was not a wise move. Fortunately, although the Northern Purple Emperor did not have much real power, he was still one of the Six Emperors and held a prestigious position. This could be considered as achieving the goal of using the Heavenly Court to develop the human lineage.
