Chapter 190: Su Wen's Heart
In the high-altitude strong wind layer, Jiang Yunzhi, with a solemn face, bowed to the seven figures in front of him and said in a heavy tone: "Jiang Yunzhi thanks you all for coming to help me. In the past, Yunzhi was young and frivolous, and more or less offended several mountain masters. Yunzhi apologizes to you all here.
If I can defeat him, the Yuanshui will combine its power, and I will have a great chance to ascend to the throne of the Golden Elixir. My Linglong Sect will also be able to reopen its gates one day, and I hope you can work together with me!"
The five mountain masters and the two elderly Taoists all had complicated expressions. The hunchbacked old man, whose waist was almost broken in half, sighed and continued, "You are the only descendant of the ancestor. You should be in charge of the mountain gate. We have nothing to say. We have all lost the opportunity to ascend to the throne. Even if there have always been conflicts among the factions, the ancestor is gone, so what is there to fight for?
The Tiger King is a demon king after all. Even if the ancestor left a will to protect us, I am afraid it will not last long. If we want the Taoism to continue, we need the younger generation to support the Linglong sky.
This old man, if for no other reason, will help you on this last journey even for the sake of our ancestors."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunzhi bowed again and said, "Thank you, Master Deng, for your sincere heart."
Another old man at the side, with a long white beard almost as tall as his body, nodded and said, "Yes, the ancestors are gone, what else can we fight for? I have practiced Taoism for more than a thousand years, and have been asleep for more than a thousand years. Now I have lost the opportunity to ascend to the throne, and I am just waiting to sit and die.
In this case, I might as well show you my Taoist skills, so that my life will not be in vain.
What do you think, mountain masters? "
He changed the subject and moved on to the five current mountain masters. They had personally experienced the Linglong Sect's rise from dominating the southern extreme to its current decline and closure. They all felt sympathetic and remained silent for a while.
It was the Lord of Beicang Mountain who spoke up: "Forget it, I don't have a chance anymore, so I might as well leave some hope for my disciples and younger generations. I hope that when you ascend to the throne in the future, Yunzhi, you will treat my disciples and younger generations in the clan well."
Jiang Yunzhi nodded and said earnestly: "I will keep it in mind!"
The leader of Jinhua Mountain snorted coldly, "You all are good people, but I have to be the bad guy. Let's make it clear in advance that I will take action for the sake of your upbringing, but if things don't work out, I will be the first to retreat."
The Lord of Jingyi Mountain and the Lord of Xiji Mountain both agreed with this statement.
Only the Lord of Nanxu Mountain said calmly: "Although I have come this far, I will not get involved in the battle. If it succeeds, it will be great. If not, I will leave a spark for the Linglong Daoist sect."
Jiang Yunzhi nodded and said, "The Nanxu Mountain lineage has always been like this. The Nine Palaces back then were just a retreat left by Nanxu Mountain for our sect. This battle is of great importance, so Nanxu Mountain should abide by tradition."
She continued, "Qiling Sect has three top leaders, among which the Shaoyin top leader has a prominent status, but because of this, he cannot act easily. So only one person is needed to keep an eye on him, and I'll have to trouble Senior Brother Beicangshan.
The remaining Xuanming superior is quite powerful, so please ask the old mountain master Fang and the Jinhua mountain master to take action together.
As for that Xuanyin superior…"
"Leave it to me." The Lord of Jingyi Mountain said, "I heard that he is only at the seventh level. I think I can still stop him with my eighth level."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister." Jiang Yunzhi thanked him and said, "As for the Tai Chi practitioners on the lake, please ask Elder Deng to stop them. I'm sure they won't take action.
We also ask Brother Xiji Mountain Master to go fight against this half-finished Yuan Array main force, and the rest of the true practitioners will lead the disciples from each mountain and hall to remove the foundation of the Yuan Array.
And what I have to do is to sneak into the mountain, break the mountain gate, disrupt the Taoist tradition, disturb the general situation, and take a look at whether the Qi Ling Sect's Yuanshui magical power is left by the Yuanshui True Cultivator more than 300 years ago. If it is still lingering, then I will destroy its power."
After hearing what he said, Fang Shangxing held up his long beard and asked, "Since you can sense the other party, most likely he has already reached a higher level. How do you destroy him?"
"As we are both Yuanshui, I naturally understand that it is difficult to destroy it. But I have invited a Jindan level person to come, so I am not afraid of not being able to defeat the other party! Even if the other party escapes with his life, he will definitely lose the Yuanshui trend and the chance to ascend to the throne." Jiang Yunzhi replied calmly.
"Since you have already discovered him, it seems that the other party is trying to trick you into falling into a trap. Are you...really well prepared?" asked the Lord of Nanxu Mountain calmly.
"Whether it's a trap or not, I have to do this. Not only for myself, but also for Linglong Sect." Jiang Yunzhi's eyes flashed coldly, looking at Qi Ling Sect below, then turned around, bowed and said:
"Everyone, please!"
In the strong wind, seven figures of different heights all raised their hands to salute in unison. The wind was whistling, dark clouds suddenly rose, and heavy rain came in an instant.
The seven people moved separately and flew in different directions.
More than sixty true practitioners below all received the decree and stepped forward in unison. Pieces of exquisite gold and jade floated from their bodies, gathering the power of Wu Earth from all directions in the heaven and earth. The wind blew up dust, rocks fell and the earth moved. A Wu Earth Yuan Array that stretched for no less than a thousand miles from east to west gradually emerged above the Mingyue Qi Realm in Qi Ling's territory.
In Guchun Courtyard, decrees were issued one after another. All the nodes of the Mingyue Qi Realm received the decrees and began to defend the formation base.
The disciples of Qi Ling Sect were all staring at the strange phenomenon in the sky nervously. Facing this old enemy,
Above the dark sky, thunder roared and heavy rain continued, but the rain did not fall to the ground. Instead, it gathered in the sky and formed a wide and long river that meandered through the sky.
In the surging river, Jiang Yunzhi's figure sat cross-legged in the middle of the river, and the heaven and earth were in harmony with his thoughts.
Even if it is the same Taoist school, the supernatural powers achieved will be different due to the different choices of Taoist ginseng.
Her magical power [Guiyuan River] is a rare magical power, and it tends to focus on accumulating strength.
Within the divine power, the three waters of Ren, Gui and Zhen can all be collected, giving the impression of being as vast as the sea that accommodates all rivers and being tolerant.
It is much stronger than [Qin Chunyu] in terms of fighting skills, but it cannot compare to the noble way among all the Taoist magical powers.
However, all Yuanshui has heavy momentum. Once the momentum is established, it will have unstoppable power to overturn numerous obstacles and it cannot be changed.
It kept raining from the sky, and the Qi realm of heaven and earth in the area of wind and snow began to be affected. A lot of the accumulated snow melted into gurgling water, gathered into glaciers, and rose into the sky to merge into the river suspended in the sky.
In the Dark Moon Qi Realm, countless ghosts and spirits roared, and formation restrictions lit up at the nodes of the formation, connecting and intertwining to form a formation.
The Fusang sacred tree in the center of Qi Ling Gate also emits a bright and hot light, like a rising sun, forming a sharp contrast with the endless snowy area outside.
The sun is inside, the moon is outside, yang is born and yin rises, the two images gather thousands of rays of light, covering an area of thousands of miles centered on Qilingmen.
There were waves on Qiyuan Lake without any wind, and it seemed as if there was some pulling force above the vast lake that wanted to lift the lake up to the sky.
But the blue and white twin snakes in the center of the lake stood motionless, as if they were a magic needle that stabilized the lake for thousands of miles.
The lake was rippling with waves and the old man's clothes fluttered. He raised his head slightly and saw the hunched old man in the sky.
Zuo Qiuyu smiled and said, "Now that you have come to my door, why don't you take a rest on the lake?"
Deng Shao's hunched body trembled slightly, and he spoke cautiously: "I dare not bother you, sir. I came here on orders, so I have to offend you. I hope you will forgive me."
Zuo Qiuyu asked with a smile: "Whose orders are you following? Which immortal's orders?"
The old man in the sky had clear eyes and sighed, "I am following the orders of the general trend, and also my own orders."
As soon as he finished speaking, loud noises were heard in the distance, accompanied by the sounds of fighting and shouting, which made the old man turn his head slightly and look silent.
Zuo Qiuyu sighed, "Are you willing to accept your fate like this?"
"It's not that I don't accept my fate, but it has been predestined. I have to accept it and just go with the flow." Deng Shao's voice was filled with vicissitudes of life. "Since I was young, I cultivated supernatural powers at the age of a hundred, and I was ambitious and wanted to ascend to the throne. But when I was 374 years old, my bone marrow was taken out in front of Shangshui Palace. After this calamity, I realized that ants like us are just pawns in the hands of those in high positions.
I cut off the inheritance of Shangshui Palace, and that generation of Palace Master also cut off my path for half my life. My sect's ancestor also killed two birds with one stone. My Gengjin will never overcome Wutu, and the water virtue of Shangshui Palace has since cut off its inheritance. "
"Then why don't you hate it? Instead, you still work for the Linglong Sect?" Zuo Qiuyu asked silently.
"What's the point of hating? The old ancestor was powerful and powerful back then, how could I dare to hate him? Moreover, the old ancestor taught me and answered my questions, and he was also my half-teacher, how could I hate him? Afterwards, he personally helped me to prolong my life and seal my wounds, extending my life to this day, how could I hate him?"
Deng Shao sighed softly, "Fate is unpredictable. The way of the ancestors is above, and the way of us disciples is below. How can we be united when they are so contradictory? Since then, I have been bowing my head to show that I have accepted my fate."
Zuo Qiuyu's eyes darkened slightly, and he also smiled bitterly, "I have been pondering on this thing called fate for many years, but I still haven't fully understood it."
"You are no ant like me. You will become something extraordinary." Deng Shao bowed and said, "I am sorry to have made you laugh at my past sorrows."
Zuo Qiuyu waved his hands and smiled, "I cannot fathom the fate of an ant or a true man. They all have their own fate and their own meaning.
Now that there is a disaster outside, it is not appropriate to move. I ask my fellow Taoists to look at this lake, please take a look. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the lake began to ripple, and the dark evil in the sky retreated. Above the lake, the light was golden and the shadows were as clear as a jade. The water of the lake flowed slowly from west to east, without stopping.
The aura on Zuo Qiu Yu's body responded immediately, and the huge Yin-Yang Illusionary Yang and Dark Moon Array emitted yin and yang energies that returned to his body. His realm increased at a seemingly slow but endless speed, and he walked on the water for ten steps and rose one turn, then slowly walked eastward.
…
On Xueyun Mountain, everything was plain. Outside the formation nodes, numerous Qi training disciples were fighting desperately, and the light was shining into the sky.
On the mountain top, Bai Suwen knelt down to hold the zither, snow falling on her shoulders, her eyes closed and concentration focused.
A flash of golden light appeared, and the figure of the master of Jingyi Mountain emerged. She silently looked at the formation restrictions on the mountain, and then released golden blades without hesitation, slashing at the formation restrictions like a mountain of knives.
The sound of the golden swords clanging reached Bai Suwen's ears. She stroked the long zither with her bare hands. The wind and snow in the sky suddenly intensified, and countless pieces of snow turned into blades to meet the mountain-like golden swords.
The sound of swords and spears suddenly arose between heaven and earth, and the sound of the piano suddenly changed. A cold and ferocious murderous intent burst out angrily, shocking the master of Jingyi Mountain so much that his soul was in great pain and blood flowed from his ears.
She was shocked. This woman's Xuanyin Dao realm was so profound. Even if her True Essence cultivation was only at the seventh level, her attainments in playing the piano were probably close to worldly perfection.
Bai Suwen only plucked the strings of the zither without saying a word, but the murderous sound of the zither had replaced her voice, and what reached the ears of the Lord of Jingyi Mountain was endless murderous intent and hatred.
It is the blood hatred of the ancestors of the Qi Ling Sect, the resentment and unwillingness of the ancestors of the Qi Ling Sect, and the boundless hatred and murderous intent towards the three words "Linglong Sect". They hid it deep in their hearts when they were alive and dared not even speak it out loud for the rest of their lives. Only after death can their souls sink into the underworld with boundless hatred.
But at this moment, it was as if all the ancestors had come back. They stood in front of the master of Jingyi Mountain and transformed into countless evil ghosts, ready to demand that she pay with blood even if their souls were torn to pieces.
The master of Jingyi Mountain gradually sank into the illusion of piano music. Gradually, streaks of red blood emerged in the bottom of her eyes, spreading from the area around her pupils to her entire eyes. Finally, as Bai Suwen suddenly raised her ten fingers, the piano music stopped abruptly, and her pupils exploded instantly, and she let out a shrill scream.
"Bitch! How dare you hurt me like this!" The golden light between the eyebrows of the Jingyi Mountain Master surged, and a brilliant golden light rose between heaven and earth. The magical power of the Shenjin Daoist sect was displayed, and she shouted, "Convergence!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman who looked exactly like Bai Suwen walked out from the golden light, except that her pupils were bright gold.
Bai Suwen glanced up and said calmly: "The Shenjin Dao is rare. Even if your magical power of [Combining Qijin] is similar, it is ultimately an illusion. How can you replace me?"
The "Bai Suwen" with golden pupils chuckled, "Shen Jin is the image of the positive Qi of heaven and earth. You have already cultivated to a higher level, how can you not know that the world is full of Qi? You are Bai Suwen who cultivates Xuanyin, and I am Bai Suwen who cultivates Shenyang. How can there be a distinction between enemies and me?"
Hearing this, Bai Suwen stood up, with Changqin on her back. The wind and snow on the mountain stagnated, and she said softly without emotion: "Even so, you have lost the opportunity to ascend to the throne, how can you be compared with me?
Since you dare to transform into my body with [Combined Gold], then your way of gold should also belong to me, Xuanyin."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright white light suddenly shone from Bai Suwen's forehead, and it transformed into a divine phoenix of ice and snow and pounced towards the golden-eyed "Bai Suwen", and even forced its way into his forehead.
Inside the soul of the golden-eyed Bai Suwen, the Lord of Jingyi Mountain said in shock, "How dare you be so bold? Enter my body in person with your soul?"
Bai Suwen appeared and looked at the woman in front of him coldly, "Because I know the flaws of your Shenjin magical power, and I know that your magical power is weak in your soul. And my Taoist magic power is not as strong as the soul that comprehends the hundred sounds of the world, so I dare to force my way in with my soul."
Her tone was cold with murderous intent as she continued, "Not only do I know your weaknesses, I have also searched for the many weaknesses of every one of you who are in high positions in the Linglong Sect's six mountains, four halls, and one sect in the world in the past days and nights.
For this battle, and for the blood feud of our ancestors, I, Qi Ling, have been looking forward to this day for a long time!
Do you still think that the Linglong of today is the Linglong of the past, and the Qiling of today is the Qiling of the past?"
