Chapter 582

In the pavilion, the Daoist sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

The sun, moon, and stars all flowed outside the window.

The Daoist seemed to have the sun, moon, and stars in his heart as well.

Among them, the two closest and brightest ones, one on the left and one on the right, were suspended above his head.

One was the deeper Dao of life and death reincarnation, which is the further "Creation of Life and Death," and the other was the "Creation of Heaven and Earth" that Lord Tianweng also mastered. Both were within his reach, close at hand.

Raising his hand to pluck the stars meant grasping the Great Dao.

It was not that this process of raising his hand was difficult, but that the Daoist deliberately did not reach out, only continuing to perceive deeply.

Unknowingly, there was an extra letter on the table in front of him.

The envelope had no name and was very simple and elegant.

Lin Jue opened his eyes, and the fox lying beside him immediately said:

"It was brought back by Pumei! Pumei waited for the letter in front of Jun Niangniang Jun Niangniang Yao Hua's cave for three years!"

"Really slow..."

Lin Jue said, and opened the envelope.

There was only one line of words on the letter paper inside:

If you can fight Lord Fuchi, I will naturally come to help you.

"Sure enough..."

Lin Jue thought to himself.

That cave dwelling in Qingyan County was indeed the former cultivation place of Jun Niangniang Yao Hua. Although the one inside was most likely not Jun Niangniang Yao Hua, it also had a direct relationship with Jun Niangniang Yao Hua.

Therefore, when the necessary moment truly arrived, it would inevitably be possible to contact Jun Niangniang Yao Hua through it.

It was just that this necessary moment, and whether Jun Niangniang Yao Hua would reply to you, also depended on your own ability.

Previously, Lin Jue clearly did not have this qualification.

At this time, he almost had it.

However, this "Sure enough" did not stop there.

Lin Jue was still lamenting another thing—

In Lord Tianweng's deduction, until Lin Jue was finally sought out by Lord Fuchi, Jun Niangniang Yao Hua had never appeared. Lin Jue originally speculated that there could be many reasons, such as the time being too far away, making Lord Tianweng's deduction increasingly difficult and resulting in distortion, or that Jun Niangniang Yao Hua was a great power of the demon race, and Lord Tianweng could not deduce her or avoided her.

Or perhaps Jun Niangniang Yao Hua had other calculations.

Now it seems that the last one probably accounts for a large proportion.

Jun Niangniang Yao Hua was personally defeated by Lord Tianweng; she could be called an old rival, or an old friend. Lord Tianweng must know her very well.

Jun Niangniang Yao Hua had planned for many years and waited for many years; she would certainly not act rashly. Thinking about it now, it is very likely that in the illusion, he was still unable to rival Lord Fuchi, and even more difficult to contend with the Purple Emperor. At this time, even if Jun Niangniang Yao Hua came out to help, there was no guarantee of victory, so she chose to wait and see, choosing to use his life and the lives of his fellow disciples to wear down the power of the Purple Emperor—

For example, Lord Fuchi had already retired; even if he were invited out by the Purple Emperor again, it might only be that one time.

For example, his own prestige in the human world was extremely high; when contending with the Purple Emperor, in addition to the direct confrontation with Lord Fuchi, it would inevitably wear down the incense and faith of the Purple Emperor in the human world.

For example, the Southern Divine System taking this opportunity to rise again.

For example, the law of change that the world must divide after long union and unite after long division, the change of dynasties.

Only when the time was ripe would she come out.

"Hmph..."

Lin Jue gave a light snort and threw the letter paper.

Poof! A ball of fire appeared in the air immediately.

This attracted the fox's attention; it hurriedly got up, hooked the fire in the air with its claws, and then went to hook the falling ashes.

Until the ashes became dregs and then powder, it stopped and turned its head curiously: "Why burn it? Why not put it in a box and store it?"

Then he saw that the Daoist had already closed his eyes again, continuing to perceive the Dao, not answering it at all.

In that Yuanqiu Ji Xianren Realm, someone was playing chess with Lord Tianweng.

At Scissors Peak of Mount Yishan, someone was also playing chess with the Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Emperor listened to the report of the divine being, and had a plan in his heart. He closed his eyes slightly; even without the ability of Lord Tianweng to see ten thousand years at a glance, he could still guess the future events like anyone else.

"Daoist of Mount Yishan..."

A pair of eyes gazed at the human world, and suddenly the gaze moved westward.

The Purple Emperor placed a piece in the northwest.

On Scissors Peak, in a thatched cottage, the blind Daoist sat cross-legged, with several fellow disciples around him, including the Fourth Third Third Shixiong who had not attained the Dao as a True One.

"Jun Niangniang Yao Hua has given an answer, and the Junior Third Shixiong has also made preparations to confront Lord Fuchi. Time is on our side; the longer it drags on, the more favorable it will be for us," the Sixth Third Third Shixiong said, shaking his head. "Unfortunately, the Purple Emperor is too overbearing. We are from the same sect; even if we have no friendship with the demons, I am afraid he cannot tolerate us. He will not give us time to delay."

"What do you mean?"

"Mount Tianshan!"

The Sixth Third Third Shixiong turned his head to face the north. Although his eyes were closed, there seemed to be a chessboard in his heart, the pieces like the stars in the sky, and there was a baleful star heading northwest.

"What?"

"Several fellow disciples have attained the Dao as True Ones one after another, but all who have refined the Golden Core have a connection with the Ancestor of Mount Tianshan.

"The Purple Emperor cannot tolerate non-human divine beings, and his temperament is so overbearing. Coupled with the suppression of the Lingfa Sect by the Nine Heavens divine beings, the wariness of immortals, and the wariness of us fellow disciples, before taking action against us, he first took action against those natural divine beings, demons, and ghosts that are far from the Central Plains and have the ability to attain the Dao as True Ones. The first to bear the brunt is Mount Tianshan."

The Sixth Third Third Shixiong could not help but smile as he spoke:

"This move is very good. It can force us to take action; once we take action, he can find a reason to conquer us. It can also clear the borders first, then clear the interior, and it can also confiscate Mount Tianshan and the thousand-year snow lotus, blocking the Four Directions and Five Elements Golden Core that can help Lingfa Sect Daoists attain the Dao as True Ones and enhance combat power. It is truly killing many birds with one stone."

"Then what should be done?"

"No need to worry. This may be unfavorable to us, but it may also be our help," the Sixth Third Third Shixiong said. "In any case, the Ancestor of Mount Tianshan has kindness to several fellow disciples and cannot be ignored. The Junior Third Shixiong is concentrating on perceiving the Dao at this time and it is inconvenient for him to go, so please ask the Third Shixiong Brothers to make a trip. If they can save the Ancestor of Mount Tianshan once, when the Purple Emperor goes crazy, they might also help us."

"Hmm..."

The First Third Third Shixiong was still thinking.

People have positions and also have feelings. Like the Purple Emperor eliminating other demons and divine beings, even if they are upright and kind demons and divine beings, without any family or friendship, they might not necessarily be willing to intervene.

But the Ancestor of Mount Tianshan is different.

The Ancestor of Mount Tianshan has friendship with the Junior Third Shixiong and with them, and has kindness to them. The reason they were able to refine the Golden Core has an inseparable relationship with the Ancestor of Mount Tianshan. Just like the Mountain Yili Shenjun of this Mount Yishan, if one day the Purple Emperor goes crazy and wants to eliminate the Mountain Yili Shenjun of Mount Yishan together, they would not be able to stand by and watch.

"Then I will go with the Second Junior Third Shixiong and Third Junior Third Shixiong."

"How is the refining of your bean soldiers going?"

"After attaining the Dao as a True One, I have been refining them."

"Take them with you too," the Sixth Third Third Shixiong exhorted. "Remember, although kindness is heavy, sometimes you need to have more schemes. You must choose the critical moment to appear."

"Understood."

The three immortals summoned white clouds and headed northwest.

Unexpectedly, just as they arrived at Mount Tianshan, it was already a scene of dark clouds and war drums.

Boom, boom, boom...

The entire sky was full of dark clouds, and the dark clouds were filled with celestial soldiers and generals and divine officials of various departments, some beating drums to cheer, others flying down to the mortal realm.

The celestial soldiers and generals fought with the demon soldiers and generals on Mount Tianshan, like a massacre. There were also divine officials holding fire jars, standing on the clouds and pouring down liquid fire and flames, melting ice and snow, burning palaces, and even those snow lotuses that had grown on Mount Tianshan for who knows how many years turned into ashes in patches, disappearing into the sea of fire.

The leading divine lord stood with a sword in hand:

"Ancestor of Mount Tianshan, considering that you have not committed evil deeds for many years, put down your resistance and follow me back now, lest your snow mountain be turned into a volcano and your Daoist temple be beaten into a purgatory!"

The old woman in gorgeous clothes below was angry and puzzled:

"I have no sin! Why capture me for no reason? Is this how the current Heavenly Emperor acts?"

"You are not human, yet you enjoy human offerings! You do not respect the Nine Heavens, yet you occupy human mountain ranges! Although you have not resisted the Nine Heavens, you do not listen to the orders of the Heavenly Emperor, and every fifty years you gather demons and ghosts from all over to discuss who knows what. Is this not a sin?"

When the First Third Third Shixiong arrived, he could not help but feel a trance—

The Purple Emperor in the illusion was like this at the end.

No matter if they were good demons or evil demons, or even natural divine beings who had been famous for a long time, if they respected the Nine Heavens, they would be dismissed; if they did not respect the Nine Heavens, celestial soldiers and generals would immediately arrive on clouds, smash your Daoist temple to pieces, kill or capture all your descendants and disciples, and those who had friendship with the demons would also be implicated.

Until reaching the head of Mount Yishan.

So it wasn't that the Purple Emperor went crazy at that time...

It was that he had always been like this in his heart; it was just that the time had not come before, so he started from the evil demons, then from the small demons, and slowly planned it.

Whoosh! The white clouds accelerated forward!

"Yili Shenjun, stop!!"

"Who comes?"

The long-snake divine lord holding the sword turned around immediately.

Only then could one see clearly that this divine lord was tall and wearing armor. However, what was strange was that a pair of small hands grew out of his eyes, pushing flat with palms, and an eye grew in the center of each palm—those two palms were turning slightly, sizing up the three people who came.

"We are Daoists of Mount Yishan, and we have some friendship with the Ancestor of Mount Tianshan here. We have received her hospitality and kindness, and we also know that she is kind and hospitable. We would like to ask the Yili Shenjun to show mercy!"

"This is the order of the Purple Emperor; there is no mercy to show," the divine lord in the sky said silently. "And this lord is only taking her back. Whether she is kind or not, the Heavenly Emperor has his own judgment. If you immortals truly have old ties with her, you might as well persuade her to give up resistance and follow us back obediently."

"Yili Shenjun, please stay calm."

The First Third Third Shixiong still maintained etiquette.

"Several friends! Has Ji Xianren Lin come?" An old voice came from the top of Mount Tianshan. "Your Heavenly Emperor is truly too overbearing, wantonly clearing out non-human divine beings in the Western Regions. Please save me."

"My Junior Third Shixiong is still in seclusion cultivating, and he specifically exhorted us to come and help the Ancestor," the Second Third Third Shixiong said. "Ancestor, rest assured, you have kindness to us. Today, the three of us fellow disciples have come, and we will certainly do our best to protect the Ancestor's safety."

"Hmm?"

When the long-snake divine lord heard this, his expression froze, and he immediately pressed his hand on his sword: "What do you mean? Do you dare to defy the Heavenly Mandate?"

Although there were three immortals in front of him, he was originally a Northern Husheng Husheng Zhenjun and Martial Yili Shenjun who was good at fighting. Facing ordinary True Ones and immortals, it was like a martial artist facing ordinary people; naturally, he was not afraid of these three immortals.

"Yili Shenjun..."

The First Third Third Shixiong turned his head, his face showing helplessness and respect, but in fact, he was just remembering the words "delay" from the Sixth Junior Third Shixiong:

"We know that the Yili Shenjun has come under orders, and military orders are like mountains. However, we do indeed have old ties with this Ancestor of Mount Tianshan, and we have received her kindness. Today, no matter what, we cannot sit by and watch her be conquered and taken away by the Yili Shenjun. Please consider her advanced age and investigate carefully before making a decision."

"There is nothing to investigate! Those who are not of my race must have a different heart!" The long-snake divine lord gripped the sword hilt. "You are human immortals; why must you go against the Heavenly Emperor for these naturally born demons and divine beings?"

The First Third Third Shixiong did not refute him, nor did he pull anything else, only saying one sentence:

"Repay kindness with kindness, and repay hatred with hatred."

"Good! A good 'repay kindness with kindness, and repay hatred with hatred'! Then today, let's see your ability!"

The long-snake divine lord laughed loudly, facing the three immortals and one Ancestor of Mount Tianshan, not afraid at all. His momentum alone was much stronger than the True Lords under the previous Lord Tianweng.

With a boom, the war drums that had been extinguished for a moment were beaten again.

The dark clouds began to press forward, and the celestial soldiers and divine generals standing above were full, with strict military discipline.

"Hehe! I was wondering why half of the celestial soldiers went down to the mortal realm and half stood above to watch the battle; so it was prepared for us!"

The Third Third Third Shixiong untied a bag from his waist.

At the same time, the white clouds under his feet suddenly spread out, extending for dozens of miles.

Without reaching out to grab, he just pointed, and thousands of beans fell out of the bag, some his own, some passed down through generations of the Fuqiu Temple, some the size of soybeans, some the size of pigeon eggs.

Some turned into armored soldiers, some holding swords, some holding spears, some holding bows and arrows, some holding hammers and maces. From the style of the armor, one could still see the charm of different dynasties, and they also quickly arranged into neat military formations on the white clouds;

There were also twelve wooden pellets that turned into huge armored giants, like the legendary giant gods, standing in the army, standing out from the crowd.

The two sides confronted each other, and for a moment, it was hard to tell which side had stronger momentum.
