Watching the departing figure of the main body, Ling Yun exclaimed in amazement:
"My strength has improved significantly again."
Ling Yun was once known as the Invincible Immortal Emperor because he could ultimately kill his opponent in a one-on-one fight.
However, he doesn't simply crush his opponents. Ling Yun can now easily kill Immortal Emperors of the same level in one-on-one combat.
Lingyun himself was surprised by this progress.
It seems that retracing his life path over the past few years has greatly improved Lingyun's understanding of the Dao, resulting in a significant increase in his strength.
After a moment of astonishment, Ling Yun and Qiong Qi simultaneously looked towards the area of lightning tribulation.
Previously, when Ling Yun was about to rush into the lightning tribulation area, he was stopped by four Buddhist Immortal Kings.
Immediately, the two entered the tribulation area. Through the thick tribulation clouds, they saw a pool about a foot square, releasing endless lightning.
It was Lei Zechi.
Lingyun and Qiongqi appeared above Lei Zechi. Even the two of them, who were so powerful, felt a shiver run through their souls when they saw Lei Zechi.
"This Lei Ze Pool already has an owner. Will he come with us?"
Qiongqi asked.
Ling Yun said:
"The spirit of Lei Zechi is a terrifyingly powerful spirit creature; it's impossible to take it away by force."
Qiongqi nodded, then a flash of inspiration struck him and he said:
"How about... a riddle?"
Ling Yun chuckled. Brain teasers were a hurdle that Qiongqi couldn't overcome, but Ling Yun thought it was worth a try.
Just as he was about to speak, Lei Zechi said leisurely:
"Do you guys think I'm a three-year-old? Can you please be more mature?!"
Ling Yun and Qiong Qi's expressions froze.
Immediately, Ling Yun clasped his hands in a fist salute and said:
"Senior, you must be very lonely here. Why don't you stay with us for a while?"
Lei Zechi remained silent for a moment, then said:
"Well... sigh~ to be frank, I'm injured and can't leave on my own, so I have no choice but to stay here."
Um?
Lingyun and Qiongqi looked into the Thunder Pool at the same time and found that the Thunder Pool was full of cracks. It had been broken and then reassembled, but the spirit's essence was severely damaged and could not be completely closed.
To shatter the formidable Thunder Pool, one must be an incredibly powerful being.
Immediately, Ling Yun placed his hand on Lei Zechi and cast Time Reversal.
Soon after Lei Zechi arrived at the restricted area, he unleashed a beam of lightning that struck a large mountain.
After the mountain was blasted open, an unimaginable being appeared.
It is precisely the creatures that destroy the world.
They fought for months, and finally, all the creatures that destroyed the world fled, and the Thunder Pool exploded.
Then, Ling Yun asked:
Why do you keep hunting down creatures that destroy the world?
"Animals of destruction?" The artifact spirit was slightly taken aback. "You mean the Primordial Race, right?"
The Primordial Clan!
Ling Yun immediately asked:
"What race is this?"
The Way of the Artifact Spirit:
"The Primordial Race was the first living beings to be born in the world, even earlier than the Giant Race and the Ancient Beast Race."
That's all I know. Anyway, my master hates the Primordial Clan, which is why he sent me to patrol the heavens and kill any Primordial Clan members I see!
As a result, I accidentally ran into a big guy and almost got myself killed.
"Then who is your master?" Ling Yun asked hurriedly, guessing that Lei Zechi's master must have been a powerful figure from countless eras ago.
Lei Zechi said:
"This cannot be said!"
"If you want to take me away, you can. I can help you and teach you the fundamental patterns of lightning magic."
However, once I recover, you cannot imprison me and prevent me from leaving. I am only loyal to my master, and I will go to him after I recover.
I believe in both of you!
Ling Yun nodded slightly and said solemnly:
"Don't worry, Brother Qiongqi and I won't take you for ourselves!"
For Lingyun and Qiongqi, the most important thing is the origin of thunder magic. Of course, it would be best if Lei Zechi could submit to nature.
"OK!"
Lei Zechi removed the restrictions on himself, and Ling Yun sent him into the Sea of Light to nurture him.
After doing all this, Ling Yun and Qiong Qi boarded the ancient immortal bottle and left the forbidden area, returning to the Nangong family.
At this moment, the Tang Dynasty cultivators had already wiped out the families and sects that had sided with Buddhism.
Under Nangong Chen's meticulous planning, all Buddhist strongholds were uprooted, and 70 billion Buddhist cultivators were captured.
Everyone was gathered in Lingyun's courtyard, discussing how to brainwash the Buddhist cultivators and transform them into the power of the Tang Domain.
Upon Ling Yun and Qiong Qi's return, Nangong Chen immediately reported their victory.
"Now that 70 billion Buddhist cultivators have been captured, it will be difficult to assimilate them. We would like to ask you fellow cultivators for advice!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Yun looked at the Great Sage and the Golden Lion, and smiled:
"Brother Great Sage and Brother Lion have broken away from Buddhism; they are most suitable to be converted into Buddhist cultivators!"
Nangong Chen nodded slightly, leading the Tang Domain cultivators in a deep bow to the Great Sage and the Golden Lion:
"Please, fellow Daoists, lend me your help!"
The Great Sage waved his hand and laughed:
"It's no big deal!"
Once the Great Sage and the Golden Lion have successfully assimilated, Nangong Chen will provide them with further education for a period of time, after which the Buddhist cultivators will be directly converted into Tang Domain cultivators.
Immediately, Ling Yun looked at Nangong Chen and other powerful figures from the Tang Domain, and said in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoists, we are currently outnumbered and outmatched. It is impossible to defeat the Buddhist sect of the Demon Subduing Starfield with absolute strength."
We must exert our efforts on three fronts!
Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath and listened intently.
Ling Yun continued:
"The first line of defense is to send people to infiltrate the Demon Subduing Starfield. There are definitely still forces there that do not obey Buddhism. We will select a group of people from the Buddhist cultivators who have been assimilated and turn them against Buddhism."
If the rear is unstable, something is bound to happen on the front lines of the Demon Subduing Starfield.
The second front is to find star regions that have a grudge against Buddhism, and it would be best if they could send troops to help.
Even if they don't send troops, let them create a stir by attacking the Demon Subduing Starfield, forcing the Buddhist faction in the Demon Subduing Starfield to divide their forces for defense.
The third battlefront is in the Tang Domain, but the main battlefield is not there but in the starry sky!
"Please follow me!"
After saying that, Ling Yun waved his hand, and everyone instantly appeared in the starry sky.
Seeing Ling Yun's tireless efforts in helping Tang Yu resist the Buddhists, the Golden Lion whispered his praise:
"Brother Ling is a true Buddha, so kind to help the weak Tang Domain."
The Great Sage laughed from the side:
"Do you think Brother Ling is a warm-hearted person who likes to meddle in other people's business? Not at all. Brother Ling does dislike Buddhism, but he will at most offer advice on this matter. He won't be so enthusiastic as to lend a hand or do any work."
As he spoke, he pointed at Xiao Yanran and said meaningfully:
"It's because your sister-in-law died for Tang Yu in her previous life. Rather than saying that Brother Ling is helping Tang Yu, it's more accurate to say that he's helping your sister-in-law resolve the regrets of her previous life."
It's all because of love!
The golden lion suddenly realized.
Xiao Yanran was deeply moved upon hearing this. She had never heard Ling Yun utter a single sweet word from him while they were together, but everything he did touched her heart.
At this moment, Nangong Chen and the others looked at the starry sky with blank expressions.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, do you mean to fight here?"
Ling Yun shook his head and said:
"No, if we defend this place, and the next battle takes place in Tang Domain's main body, even if we win, Tang Domain will be crippled."
Therefore, the battlefield can only be here.
"How do we do it?" Nangong Chen asked.
Ling Yun pointed to the endless starry river and said:
"The Great Wall of Stars!"
