Chapter 31: Lich's Peace
◎Tongtian Formation◎
It was so quiet in the lonely and deserted temple. Duobao was not used to the sudden silence and his mind was a little confused for a while.
He became a disciple late and didn't know that his teacher had pointed out this achievement point, but it did not hinder his confidence in his teacher.
Helping Donghuang Taiyi to behead the corpse sounds like a very powerful thing, and his own teacher is so powerful, so it must be his teacher.
He nodded solemnly: "My teacher is very good."
Zhen Yuanzi looked at Kong Shuang and saw her looking at Duobao with a smile on her face, full of doting.
Hongyun touched Duobao's head with his large hand, stepped forward, and said affectionately, "Little Daoist friend, you're a senior disciple of Shangqing. No wonder you look so friendly to me. Come on, Uncle Hongyun will take you to pick some fruit."
Duobao nodded. Although the adult in front of him was strangely hot and cold, he still liked Uncle Hongyun very much because he had just scolded those two bald men.
Thus, Duobao had his first good friend in the ancient world.
Hongyun took Duobao to the backyard, and Kong Shuangteng came out to explain what had happened to Zhen Yuanzi. She knew why Hongyun was so excited when she heard the title of Shangqing Tongtian.
Hongyun must have heard that Tongtian helped Taiyi to behead a corpse, and hoped that Tongtian could also help him to behead a corpse.
She frowned and said, "If Tongtian really had such divine power, there would be no need for Hongyun. I would have beheaded his body long ago."
She saw it clearly the day Donghuang Taiyi beheaded the corpse. His cultivation was already sufficient, and Tongtian just happened to see it and provided him with an opportunity. The rest depended on Donghuang Taiyi himself.
Zhen Yuanzi pinched his brows and felt a headache coming on: "I understand. I will comfort Hongyun."
Ever since the last time Zixiao Palace distributed the Hongmeng Purple Qi and Hongyun had passed by it, he had a hidden demon in his heart and wanted to increase his strength. Because the incident of Donghuang Taiyi beheading the corpse, the news of Shangqing Tongtian was widely spread in the prehistoric world.
Some brave monks even went to Kunlun Mountain to pay homage, but they were all beaten out by Yuqing. After hearing this, Hongyun felt a little fearful but also a little more yearning.
"There is such a thing?" Kong Shuang felt a little gloating. He estimated that when Tongtian returned to Kunlun Mountain, he would inevitably be scolded by his brother.
At this moment, the Taoist boy who was guarding the gate and serving in Wuzhuang Temple came in to report: "There are demons from the underside of Wanshou Mountain who want to see the Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi, claiming to be sent by the Demon King and the Ancestral Witch."
They never thought that the titles of Demon King and Ancestral Witch could be listed together.
Surprised, Zhen Yuanzi asked him to invite the person in. Kong Shuang was in the West in everyone's mind. She didn't want to cause trouble, so she hid her figure and observed silently.
After a joyful ceremony, the envoy explained his purpose to Zhen Yuanzi: "To avoid the chaos of the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation, the two leaders of the demon clan have decided to shake hands and have a conversation with the twelve ancestors of the witch clan to reconcile. To show their sincerity, they are willing to lead the demon clan to retreat to the heavens and hand over the rule of the earth to the witch clan. They have sent people to inform all the powerful people."
The phrase "reconcile with the old ways" has its origins. As early as when the three tyrants of prehistoric times were still around, the witches and liches were both poor little guys who were bullied, and they had a pretty good relationship. Later, after the first calamity of the dragon and the phoenix, the witches turned the tables and became the masters, singing like farm servants, and gradually changed their ways.
Zhen Yuanzi had no expression on his face and waved his hand to send the messenger away.
After the messenger left, he asked someone in the room, "What do you think about this?"
Hongyun is a simple-minded person, and this kind of thing can only be discussed between him and Kong Shuang.
Kong Shuang appeared and waved his hand to create a barrier in the room to prevent anyone from seeing through him. "Di Jun wants to admit defeat. Can you believe it?"
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head. He naturally didn't believe it. The Jinwu brothers were such arrogant people, how could they possibly admit defeat to the Wu clan? Now the strength of the demon clan was not much worse than that of the Wu clan. Even if Di Jun was really scared, the demon clan's god of war Taiyi and other powerful people would not agree.
Kong Shuang sighed, "I always feel like something's fishy. You saw it too. That person just now claimed to be serving in the name of the Demon Emperor and the Ancestral Witch, but it was obvious at first glance that he was from the Demon Clan. He even talked about informing the powerful parties. We're not relying on the protection of the two clans, so what does it have to do with us? It's obvious that he's trying to drag us into a plot or plot against us."
Zhen Yuanzi knew she had a bad temper, so he pulled her to sit down and said with a smile, "It's not that serious. From what you said, we seem to be very popular."
"No, something is still wrong. What on earth is Di Jun trying to do?" Kong Shuang's face was solemn, and he couldn't figure it out.
"Given Dijun and Taiyi's temperament, it would be fine if they just surrendered to the Wu Clan, but they're actually promoting this to all parties with such fanfare. It's even more bizarre if they're trying to recruit us. Who would want to join a weak and incompetent king who easily admits defeat? What exactly do they want to do?"
As she muttered to herself, Zhen Yuanzi also frowned and his breathing slowly stopped.
After a long moment, Kong Shuang's expression relaxed, and Zhen Yuanzi's brows also relaxed. The two of them looked at each other and said in unison: "The Twelve Capitals of Gods and Demons Formation!"
According to legend, when the twelve ancient witches gather together, they can condense the true body of the great god Pangu into the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation. In the prehistoric world, there is only one saint who stays indoors. This formation is the most powerful weapon and, in a certain sense, the most powerful existence in the prehistoric world.
If the Witch Clan sets up the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, the Demon Clan will have to retreat with its current strength. After all, anyone who goes up against Pangu Dad will have to beg for mercy.
Zhen Yuanzi sighed with regret: "So that's how it is."
Kong Shuang couldn't understand: "What?"
According to this line of thought, the decline of the demon clan has nothing to do with them, so why should Zhen Yuanzi feel sorry?
"You don't know that in the hundreds of years since you left, the Lich and Lich tribes have fought several times, with both sides winning and losing. Only once, when I was in Wanshou Mountain, I heard the sound of the Donghuang Bell. It was from that time that Hongyun developed an inner demon. Since then, I have never heard from Donghuang Taiyi again."
Kong Shuang lowered his head and curled his lips in the dark. The Donghuang Bell was also a powerful weapon in the prehistoric world. It was with the help of the Donghuang Bell that Taiyi gained the reputation of the demon clan's god of war. After he killed a corpse, his strength increased greatly. Therefore, when the Donghuang Bell came out, most of the prehistoric world was shocked.
Now that the Donghuang Bell has appeared, the Twelve Demon Gods Formation will not be hidden. The subsequent results have also come out. Di Jun took the initiative to ask for peace. She could probably guess that Taiyi, the war god of the demon clan, was probably seriously injured.
On the way to Wanshou Mountain with Duobao Hui, she intended to observe the battle between the witches and demons. Overall, the witches had fewer people than the demons, but were stronger. Overall, the two were on par with each other.
But if one side loses a powerful fighter, it’s hard to say.
There was a hint of gloating on Kong Shuang's face. Of course, the one who was happy was not Taiyi, but Di Jun. Since the ceremony of the covenant between Di Jun and Xihe, although he tried his best to hide it, she could still see that Di Jun was getting arrogant.
The point of this is that when Tongtian helped Taiyi to behead the corpse that day, Di Jun mistakenly thought that he was relentless towards Taiyi and attacked him rashly. Later it turned out that he was helping Taiyi to behead the corpse.
Di Jun went from being shocked to being happy, but in his joy he forgot one thing, he had wrongly accused Tongtian without any reason. He should have apologized, but it would have been fine if he didn't, but if someone helped to chop off your brother's body, you should at least thank him, but he did none of that.
It wasn't a big deal originally. Tongtian was a carefree person and didn't care about such trivial matters, but she always remembered it.
Whether she was narrow-minded or just held a grudge, she felt a little relieved now that Di Jun had suffered a setback.
While the two were talking in secret, Hongyun brought Duobao back. Hearing a faint sound, Kong Shuang removed the barrier.
Seeing the strange expressions on their faces, Hong Yun couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with you two? Why do you look so strange? Did you have a fight?"
The two of them exchanged glances and decided not to let Hongyun know about these messy things.
Kong Shuang was about to roll his eyes at him when Duobao, who was sitting on Hongyun's arm, spoke first: "Madam, why haven't you left yet? The teacher has instructed us to supervise you to go back early."
There was still some unchewed fruit in his mouth, and his voice was unclear.
This black-hearted guy, when did he tell Duobao behind her back? Kong Shuang was almost angry and laughed: "Stinky boy, if it weren't for me, your hair would have been gone long ago. Now you team up with your teacher to bully me, right?"
It was time to say some harsh words and leave. Kong Shuang was driven out of Wuzhuang Temple by Duobao. To be exact, she was driven out by Hongyun and Duobao together.
Hong Yun said, "You are already old, but you are still arguing with a child. Isn't it shameful?"
Duobao said ignorantly: "The Queen is not old. The Queen said that she will always be eighteen years old..."
Kong Shuang: ...
Facing Hongyun's complicated gaze, she walked out of Wuzhuang Temple in humiliation.
She transformed into her original form and headed west, looking down at the vast wilderness. It was obvious that there were fewer living creatures on the earth. Most of the demons with some cultivation had already moved to the sky. Those who remained on the earth were either those who had not yet awakened their intelligence or those who had low cultivation.
The once prosperous ancient land has become much more desolate.
Kong Shuang traveled westward and didn't feel anything at first, but as she got farther and farther away from the east, she could slowly feel that the spiritual power in the air was becoming thinner and thinner, the land was becoming more and more desolate, and some places were even charred.
She suddenly remembered that according to legend, the reason why the Western Spiritual Vein was damaged was because the Taoist Ancestor Hongjun and the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou had a great battle in the West. Luo Hou blew himself up and blew up the Western Spiritual Vein, and the cause and effect fell on Hongjun.
It is only natural that the apprentice should pay for the sins committed by the teacher, but why drag her into this?
Slowly going deeper into the west, Kong Shuang looked up and saw several high mountains flying and jumping around in the sky.
She blinked hard and almost thought she was seeing things. After dodging several mountains that looked even more arrogant than her, a serious bird, she saw a figure hidden behind the mountains.
The man tapped the air lightly with his toes, his figure as graceful as jade, his wide sleeves fluttering in the wind. He saw her from afar and said, "You're here... well... a little earlier than I thought."
It's all thanks to you, Kong Shuang puffed up his face and snorted, flew to his side, and was about to speak angrily, when he suddenly saw a crystal drop of sweat hanging on the man's delicate temple.
The Golden Immortal of Great Luo practices fasting and does not easily come into contact with the five elements. How tired does one have to be before he starts sweating?
Her heart felt swollen and a little sour, and all the pent-up anger disappeared completely. One hand quietly reached behind his back, helping him with a little magic power.
"Thank you." He nodded slightly, his tone softening a little.
Kong Shuang expressionlessly lifted his sleeves and wiped away the bead of sweat.
There was a huge mountain in front of them that seemed to be about to fall, and below it was Lingshan. Zhunti Jieyin looked as pale as a frightened bird. He huddled together with his disciple, fearing that a mountain would fall and hit them on the head.
"What are you doing?"
Tongtian stretched out a hand behind her back, pulled out a strand of soft hair and tangled it with his fingertips, and answered concisely: "Set up the formation, gather the spirits!"
Kong Shuang doesn't make elixirs, cultivate weapons, or practice formations, but that doesn't mean she hasn't seen others set up formations. This is the first time she's seen someone use a mountain to set up a formation.
"It's not just mountains, there's also water. Mountains and water give life and nourish all things," Tongtian added.
Kong Shuang looked at the bare mountains and turbid yellow water in the west, and really couldn't see how they could nourish all things, but she believed in Tongtian.
The next second, she opened her eyes wide and witnessed the mountains being moved and the sea being filled, and the sea being turned into mulberry fields.
Tongtian chatted and laughed with her while controlling countless mountains to fall in an orderly manner, perfectly avoiding countless creatures in the west without any casualties.
Those creatures had never seen such a scene before, and they all knelt down on the ground, not daring to say a word.
His white fingertips pierced the void, and waves of spiritual rain transformed from magic power poured down. When they fell to the ground, they turned from water droplets into streams, slowly gathered into lakes and rivers, flowing on the barren and cracked earth.
This is not the end. Soon, more aquatic creatures appeared in the lakes and rivers. They multiplied and made their homes in the water.
Kong's eyes lit up as he realized that this was a matter of heaven and earth turning upside down.
Unchanging from ancient times to eternity, ever new.
Her mind moved, and she closed her eyes to think slowly. Spiritual energy rose from her body. When she opened her eyes again, she saw a pair of handsome eyes with a smile on their faces. "Congratulations, fellow Daoist."
She suddenly realized.
Kong Shuang tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth that he couldn't help but curl up, raised his chin slightly, and said: "I'm just giving you face, what's there to be happy about, what's the future——"
Tongtian chuckled twice, ruffled her hair with his big hands, and looked down.
The Western creatures were still kneeling on the ground, the fear on their faces replaced by surprise. They knew that this powerful strange monk was helping them.
Tongtian was very impressed by this and imitated his teacher's posture, creating a breeze to lift the person up.
Only Zhunti was in a panic: their Lingshan had become the Lingshan Range!
