The "ancient Buddha" who was awakened by the rituals and flesh and blood of the so-called [Eternal Life Religion] was extremely shocked and angry, but he knew how this True Lord Qingyuan Miaodao had risen step by step in the small-scale conflicts between the Northern Emperor and the Southern Emperor during the past thousand years and made a great name for himself.

But seeing that he was facing him, not summoning armor, and daring to attack with just that jade-belted black robe, he could not help but get angry and said, "Well, well, well, what a 'seemingly gentle, but actually arrogant' True Lord Qingyuan Miaodao, what a Meishan Yang Jian, you are just a True Lord, and your realm may not be much higher than mine!"

"Today I will act for the Great Emperor and test your methods!"

The ancient Buddha roared, and the Buddha's light was vast, emitting a Buddhist rhythm. His moves were surging and overbearing. Yang Jian turned his hand back and inserted the three-pointed, two-edged sword bestowed by the Great Emperor upside down here. With a sweep of his sleeves, the magic weapon trembled, emitting a flow of light, which protected Li Xuanzuo and the other two. It seemed that he didn't even need to use weapons against this stone Buddha.

The stone Buddha became furious upon seeing this, and immediately raised up his supreme magical power and vast vitality, transforming into an extremely tall Buddha statue behind him, and rushed forward fiercely. The immeasurably tall golden body of the Buddha statue exuded clear and vast Buddha light, as if he was about to display his supreme skills, but in the instant of contact with Yang Jian.

He cut off one of his arms, turned around, took this opportunity to transform into a ray of light, and escaped into the mountains!

Yang Jian held a huge arm in his hand, but smiled and said, "What a great stone Buddha! It's so big but so courageous." He threw it casually, and the stone Buddha's arm in his hand solidified and collapsed. The Buddha's light dissipated and turned into powder.

Li Xuanzuo was dumbfounded.

Such a stone Buddha was awakened by the remnants of the [Eternal Life Sect] through a flesh and blood ritual. It was extremely powerful, and the three of them could not fight back even if they joined forces. Even a real person would not be able to defeat it so easily. However, the handsome young man in front of them only needed one hand to scare those around him and make the stone Buddha escape.

The gap between them is so huge that it is hard to describe in words.

Li Xuanzuo calmed down and said, "This...Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun, the Buddha statue..." Yang Jian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I came here to protect you and investigate this matter."

Li Xuanzuo and the other two finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions looked much more relaxed.

Yang Jian looked at the stone Buddha and the ruined temple, and said to himself: "When that person called the Great Emperor, he still used the Taoist name of the Emperor when he was young. It can be seen that this must not be a backup plan that has existed for thousands of years."

Over the past thousand years, above the sky, the North Pole Zhenwu Emperor has checked and balanced the South Pole Changsheng Emperor, preventing the Changsheng Emperor from doing what he wants, and his back-up and hidden tricks are also being gradually resolved.

However, this stone Buddha statue actually calls the Great Emperor Zhenwu the Taishang Xuanwei Zhenren. It seems that this was arranged by the Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole thousands of years ago when the emperor was young and wandered the world with a sword.

Li Xuanzuo said with some concern: "However, this stone Buddha also has magical powers. If we escape for a long time this time, won't it cause disaster?"

Yang Jian gently comforted him: "Don't worry, he can't escape."

Looking up into the distance, he suddenly heard a sharp and fierce eagle cry from the sky. This broken temple had been scattered in all directions during the fight just now. Looking up at this moment, he could see the bright moon in the sky, vast and distant. A very handsome eagle fell from the sky and landed on Yang Jian's shoulder.

The moonlight was clear. The black-robed god-general had his hair tied up with a jade crown. He held a three-pointed, double-edged sword in one hand and bent his left arm. The divine eagle landed on his shoulder. He looked as handsome as jade, but he looked far away at the mountains hidden in the darkness. With a shake of his shoulders, the divine eagle swooped into the sky and flapped its wings away.

Several men dressed as gods walked out of the darkness and said with a smile, "Second Master, what should we do next? We are following Master Zhenwu's orders to slowly remove the influence left by that person from this world. We finally got this clue."

Yang Jian, wearing a black robe and holding a three-pointed, double-edged sword, looked at the mountain.

He looked gentle and peaceful, but spoke in a stern and fierce manner:

"Search the mountain."

"Destroy the demon!"

These four short words are extremely solemn and murderous.

The generals who showed up were also awe-inspiring, thinking that their second master had been following the Zhenwu Demon Emperor for a long time, and not only had he learned to wear black robes and jade crowns like him, but he had also learned all of the demon's murderous aura. However, he also knew what the Southern Emperor Changsheng had done, and felt happy about this matter.

He immediately bowed and said, "I obey your command!"

He turned around and said with a smile: "Brothers, did you hear me? On the orders of the Second Master, search the mountain and defeat the demons!"

"yes!!"

Many gods and generals responded in unison, and then they held the instruments for forming the formation in their hands and used various methods to enter the formation. In this mountain, the spirit of the ancient Buddha statue, which was composed of the rituals of flesh and blood and the ancient Buddha statues, was awakened and fled madly.

He was planted and grown casually by the great emperor back then. His foundation was actually the spirituality of a treasure that had accumulated thousands of years of spiritual charm. His power should not be underestimated. However, after seeing Yang Jian, he showed no interest at all and immediately turned around and ran away.

Nothing else.

It is indeed the name of Yang Jian, which has now spread throughout the three realms.

Previously, due to his good friend Longnu, he had subdued dragons and killed snakes, and also carried mountains and chased the sun. Although his strength is only that of a True Lord, it is incredibly solid. In other words, this boy has a solid foundation and has inherited the basic style of the Jade Purity Yuanshi Tianzun lineage.

Whether it's strength, physique, speed, or supernatural powers, martial arts, or mentality, all are at their maximum.

He even entered the Zhenwu Palace, and followed the gods of the Zhenwu Palace to subdue demons and monsters. He obtained the three-pointed two-edged sword and other divine weapons. His cultivation was extremely terrifying. Although he was at the peak of the Zhenjun level, he was already considered the strongest of the younger generation. With the three-pointed two-edged sword, he killed countless gods and demons of the Changsheng series.

And now this killer of the younger generation has run into me.

I originally thought that I had caught two fish: the bloodline of the Human Emperor and the disciple of the military leader.

But I never thought that I was the one who took the bait!

According to legend, when Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun was young, he had some relationship with Emperor Fuxi. Could it be, could it be...

He suppressed the things in his mind and was intent on reporting the matter to the Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole. As he was running forward madly, his spirit suddenly felt something was wrong. He raised his eyes slightly and saw above the sky, golden rays of light rising from all directions and then spreading towards a more distant direction.

Countless golden streams of light intertwined in the sky and turned into a huge net emitting golden light. Then this huge golden net suddenly unfolded and covered the area below. The huge net formed by the golden light swept across the rocks and jungles without harming ordinary creatures. However, when it approached the stone Buddha, it suddenly shone brightly, and in an instant it became tough and suddenly shrank.

With just a light scoop, the stone Buddha was covered, and the eagle swooped down.

The stone Buddha struggled hard, and the gods were unable to capture him. Yang Jian saw him from afar, grabbed the three-pointed, double-edged sword in one hand, and threw it towards that place with force. The weapon turned into a stream of light, brilliant and clear, and pierced through the stone Buddha in an instant, capturing it.

The stone Buddha was still struggling, but a hunting dog pounced on him, bit his right leg and pulled it hard.

I don't know what kind of species it is, but it has great strength.

The stone Buddha staggered and fell to the ground. The other gods rushed forward and tied him up. The gods retreated, leaving only Yang Jian and the stone Buddha. Yang Jian used his magical powers to reveal a heavenly eye between his eyebrows, which illuminated everything and read people's minds. The stone Buddha had no way to avoid it and could not hide. His lips trembled as he spoke:

"Bodhi fruit..."

Yang Jian's eyes lit up slightly, his expression solemn, thinking of what the Emperor said about the agreement in the Buddhist Kingdom a thousand years ago, he said to himself, so that's how it is, and then he saw the stone Buddha, swept his sleeves, took out a gourd, collected the stone Buddha, and threw it to the god next to him, saying: "Thank you, brother, go and give it to the Great Spirit God of Zhenwu Mansion."

"Let's just say that Yang Erlang has completed this matter."

The one he called his elder brother was originally a fierce god, but he was beaten into submission by the iron fists of Erlang Zhenjun. Soon, the seven brothers of Meishan all worshipped under Erlang. Later, Yang Jian treated them with courtesy. Hearing this, he laughed and said:

"Second Master, you want to accumulate some merits to exchange for that magic lamp for Third Miss, right?"

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Yes."

"My little sister has always been very picky, and it's rare for her to find something she likes. As her elder brother, I should get it for her."

The Seven Sages of Meishan knew that the Second Master was taking good care of his younger sister, so they all burst into laughter.

He smiled again and said, "Yes, I will obey your command."

"However, Second Master cannot stay in the human world for too long. Master Zhenwu may have other instructions."

"Don't worry, I saved it."

Then all the gods including the Seven Saints of Meishan saluted together and flew away on clouds. Yang Jian looked to the west and whispered, "Bodhi fruit... The six realms have been peaceful for a thousand years. Can this war really not be suppressed?" He was vaguely touched. He sighed, used his magical powers, and repaired the temple.

"It's a house after all. It can provide shelter for travelers and wild beasts in the mountains. They are bound to be damaged during fights, so we have to repair them afterwards." Erlang Shen stood in front of the temple with a gentle look, looking at the pine tree that emerged behind the temple.

After a night of fierce fighting, the sun rose in the sky, breaking through the fog. The sun diffused in the fog, which made people feel relieved and warm. Yang Jian turned around and saw Li Xuanzuo and the other two. He smiled and said, "Where are you going next?"

Li Xuanzuo saw that he looked gentle, so he bowed in return and said:

"Now that this matter has been settled, I will go to the academy and tell my teacher everything that happened here. I cannot repay you for saving my life. One day I will build a temple and statue for you and erect a monument to immortality." Yang Jian smiled and said, "No need. For practitioners like me, saving the world and helping the suffering is normal."

"You three just need to remember to do good and not do evil, that's enough."

Li Xuanzuo bowed and said, "I will remember your instructions."

When they looked up, they had lost the True Lord Qingjun. All they could see was the temple in front of them and the branches and leaves around it, which looked like a dream under the sunlight. If the Buddha statue inside the temple had not been destroyed, they would have really mistakenly believed that what happened today was just a dream.

After a long time, Li Xuanzuo sighed: "This is the True Lord..."

"I never thought that I would have such an opportunity after going out on a mission. Even though I almost lost my life, it was worth the trip."

"You two, let's go and report this matter to the academy."

The three of them were all filled with emotion and went down the mountain back to the Jinzhou Prefecture Academy.

It is located in Zhongzhou, and is now one of the hidden ancestral temples of Taoism.

Lianyang Temple·Louguan Dao.

Yang Jian, who had changed into a Taoist robe, pushed the door open and walked in. He had come down to earth to look for Master Yin, but he did not find him. He asked the head of this generation, and the old Taoist just replied: "Master Yin and Master Xi are not here. It seems that they went to look for an old friend who they have not seen for a thousand years."

"Looking for an old friend?"

Yang Jian sighed, thinking that he would not be able to see Master Yin again this time. Looking at this courtyard, it seemed no different from a thousand years ago. He couldn't help but think of the time when he practiced martial arts here. When he was immersed in the past, he suddenly noticed something. He looked up abruptly and saw in front of him.

A man in an ink-black robe sat calmly under a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, looking at the scenery ahead peacefully.

It seems to have been here for a long time, eternal.

But when Yang Jian passed by here before, he didn't notice him.

When Yang Jian saw the man, he was slightly stunned at first, then a trace of joy appeared in his eyes. He stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Yang Jian, meet the Great Emperor Zhenwu Zhentian!"

He bowed solemnly, then stood up and asked in a surprised and cheerful tone:

"Emperor, why are you here?"
