Chapter 124: Displaying Divine Abilities

"What method do you have?"

Facing Bi Feiyuan's voluntary offer, Lu Yang did not look down on her; ever since experiencing the Dharma Refining Secret Realm, he had learned never to underestimate anyone.

Prejudice in the human heart is a massive mountain.

Back then, the Yun family Patriarch fell into a trap precisely because he underestimated cultivators below Foundation Establishment, allowing Lu Yang to discover his existence.

Seeing Lu Yang being so polite, Bi Feiyuan naturally dared not be negligent and quickly said, "The divine ability I cultivate allows me to sense anyone who harbors desire toward me, then plant a demonic thought in them from afar, causing them to suffer qi deviation. This divine ability can also be used to track an enemy's location."

"... can also give it a try."

On the other side, the Flood Dragon Daoist spoke in a muffled voice, "I have installed the nose of a Qi-Sensing Hound; give me time, and I should be able to locate the Dao Court's gathering place."

"I need the qi resonance of the cultivators from the Dao Court side."

Xu Xin also spoke up, "I possess a curse-killing technique that can track along qi resonance; perhaps I can use it to find the location of the Dao Court's leader."

"... have a magic treasure I can lend you."

Looking at Lu Yang, Chongming hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "It was specially refined for me by my father; it can assist in calculating karma and heavenly secrets."

Having said this, he took out a circular disk.

The disk was imprinted with the eight trigrams and various phenomena; as Lu Yang urged it with his magic power, the disk immediately rippled with surging spiritual light, and as the eight trigrams rotated, countless images faintly emerged.

Clearly, as true disciples of the Holy Sect, most possessed a few trump cards kept hidden up their sleeves.

However, soon everyone fell into an eerie silence, and finally, shifting their gazes in unison, they all looked toward Qin Tianhe, who stood in the farthest corner with an awkward expression.

"Uh..."

Qin Tianhe thought for a moment, then forcefully patted Guangming, who stood beside him with eyes wide open, daring not to speak, and said, "I can locate the Dao Court through him!"

Hearing this, Guangming instantly froze, "Ah?"

Qin Tianhe, however, showed an excited expression and continued, "The Void-Piercing Heaven-Fleeing Black Shuttle is my native magic treasure; no matter how far apart we are, I can sense it."

Speaking to this point, Qin Tianhe felt his mind suddenly open up, "As long as I hand it over to this bald donkey and let him return to meet the Dao Court's leader, the moment that leader appears to see him, I will immediately be able to lock onto the Dao Court's hiding place directly through the Void-Piercing Heaven-Fleeing Black Shuttle!"

Immediately after, he glanced at Guangming again, "Of course, this is on the premise that this bald donkey is willing to cooperate."

"... illing! Willing!" Only then did Guangming wake up as if from a dream, and he quickly shouted loudly, "As long as the senior cultivator spares my life, I will cooperate with anything!"

Seeing this, Lu Yang nodded, "Then let's all give it a try."

Soon, Guangming and Qin Tianhe departed.

The remaining true disciples of the Holy Sect silently found their own spots, began gathering other Holy Sect disciples, and proceeded to lay out magic treasures and array diagrams right there on the ground.

This was because the disciples deployed at the very front had sent back a message.

The Qi-Devouring Worms had appeared.

Their scale was massive and countless; from a distance, they looked like a black tidal wave, churning up rolling billows as they swarmed toward their direction.

"Two objectives: while holding back these worms, we must either find the Worm King controlling them or locate the hiding place of those Jiangdong rats."

"Leave the rest to the True Persons."

Xu Xin looked relaxed, "These worms are quite formidable; let's try to finish before I get beaten to death. By the way, Young Master, it's dangerous here; do you want to hide in the back?"

"Bullshit!"

Gazing at the worm swarm in the distance, Chongming took a deep breath, cast aside the reserve of a second-generation immortal, and cursed outright, "If you can do it, why couldn't I?"

Xu Xin immediately burst into laughter.

On the other side, the Flood Dragon Daoist said nothing, merely transforming once again into a dragon-like creature of distorted flesh and blood, while Bi Feiyuan leaned against his dragon body to rest.

"Your body... is truly beautiful; I really want to surpass you."

Bi Feiyuan patted the Flood Dragon Daoist's body, wiped the drool from her mouth, and said, "Tell me, do you want to practice dual cultivation with me? I am quite experienced in surpassing others."

"Moreover, since you are so large, I imagine you won't be easily drained dry."

"We are simply a match made in heaven!"

Facing Bi Feiyuan's active request, the Flood Dragon Daoist calmly shook his dragon head, "Apologies, but you look too much like a human; I have no interest."

Conversations like this quickly spread among the Holy Sect disciples; everyone's tone was extremely calm, even occasionally breaking into laughter, as if no one paid any attention to the boundless sea of worms faintly appearing in the distance, until the worm sea drew near and the sounds abruptly ceased.

Those capable of rising to prominence within the Holy Sect were mostly like this.

These demonic heads had always bullied the soft and feared the hard, tyrannized the weak; if you are a True Person, they act submissive, but if you are not even a True Person, why should they fear you?

Moreover, there was a True Lord supervising the battle from outside!

Therefore, after a brief pause, the sounds erupted once more, merging into a single word:

"Kill!!!"

In an instant, beams of light from countless magic treasures shot into the sky; innumerable divine abilities interwove and exploded, crashing violently against the overwhelming tide of Qi-Devouring Worms surging forth!

At the very front of the Holy Sect's formation, the Myriad Souls Banner fluttered in the wind.

Immediately afterward, countless banner spirits emerged from within it—yin soldiers, ghost generals, and Shi cultivator monks—who greatly reduced the casualties among the Holy Sect disciples.

High above in the dome of the sky, Lu Yang stood suspended in mid-air.

The 【Yanmo Hall】 manifested behind him, bestowing Foundation Establishment status upon the banner spirits below, ensuring they could inflict certain damage upon the Qi-Devouring Worms.

From his vantage point, he could clearly overlook the battle situation; it was like a solid reef beneath ten thousand feet of surging waves, as countless Qi-Devouring Worms threw themselves forward relentlessly, those at the front being slain by Holy Sect disciples while those behind devoured the corpses of their fallen kin before continuing the same charge.

"Sky Collapse."

Lu Yang raised his hand and struck at the very moment the battle line was about to be breached; with a single finger point, tens of thousands of Qi-Devouring Worms were instantly crushed into powder.

However, this was only temporary.

Like the ebb and flow of tides, the Qi-Devouring Worms crushed by Lu Yang merely regrouped before charging back with a demeanor that feared neither death nor danger.

"We can win!"

Watching the frontline situation transmitted via spiritual sense projection by the Qi-Devouring Worm King, Wang Jinting forcefully clenched his fist, an uncontrollable look of excitement spreading across his face.

The terror of the Qi-Devouring Worms was undeniable; they could automatically multiply and generate simply by devouring spiritual energy, and consuming a single living person would cause their numbers to multiply several times over—they were simply inexhaustible. Rather, the fact that the Chusheng Sect could actually withstand the first wave of the Qi-Devouring Worms' attack had already greatly surprised him.

If it were the Dao Court, they would have long been wiped out.

"The only thing to be wary of is that True Person from the Holy Sect... however, as long as he does not find my location, this battle for the Dao can still be fought."

Wang Jinting was not foolish.

He understood clearly that he, holding the treasure of fruit position, and the Qi-Devouring Worm King, bearing the count of heaven, were the keys to victory or defeat; anyone else could die, but they could not.

By the same logic, that group of demonic heads would certainly rack their brains to find him.

However, Wang Jinting believed his preparations were thorough.

"With the 【Comprehensive Map of the Broad Earth】, no matter who approaches me, I can confirm their identity immediately; if anything seems amiss, I will flee..."

Just then, a messenger disciple suddenly entered from outside:

"Senior Brother, a monk has miraculously survived!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Wang Jinting was slightly stunned, "Who?"

"He says his name is Guangming; he escaped from the battlefield where we fought the Jiangbei demonic heads and has important intelligence concerning the Foundation Establishment True Person among those demonic heads..."

At these words, Wang Jinting immediately stood up.

To be on the safe side, he first took out the 【Comprehensive Map of the Broad Earth】 to take a look; only after confirming it was indeed a Shi cultivator and not a demonic head in disguise did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The Pure Land and the Dao Court had joined forces against the enemy this time, so they should still be trustworthy.

"I will go see him immediately!"
