Chapter 601: Nine Heavens Turmoil

"Thank you, True Person..."

"Thank you, Ji Xianren..."

Numerous Daoists, led by Jia Qiaozi and Daoist Tao's disciple, along with other Daoists on the mountain, were there. But more than two hundred years had passed, and for them, Lin Jue was already a distant senior who could not be recognized. Yet, seeing this senior immortal for the first time at this moment, it was such an incredible thing.

For others, coming back from the dead meant one less dead person in the underworld and one more living being in the mortal realm, but for the dead, what difference was there from recreating heaven and earth?

Everyone was shocked, feeling as if they were in a different lifetime, as if they were dreaming, and they thanked him one after another.

Just then, the fox suddenly turned its head and looked into the distance.

A gust of clear wind blew from that side:

"Master! I'm here!"

A Daoist woman in Daoist robes holding a long sword appeared in the wind, with a round face and big eyes. She had originally come to help, but upon arriving here, she looked left and right.

It was precisely Lin Jue's Third Disciple, Xian Zhu.

"Eh! Master, is the fight over?"

"You are late."

"I was wondering why that Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Yingyao stopped chasing me!" Xian Zhu said, and then said to him, "Master, did you see? I have already attained the Dao!"

"I heard. You held back Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Yingyao in the extremely cold land of the northeast and attained the Dao while contending with him," Lin Jue smiled at her. He was also very satisfied with this disciple. "You have actually walked ahead of your senior brothers and sisters."

"It should be so."

Xian Zhu was very serious.

Because she was also a yaoguai.

"Master, Third Shixiong Xiao Shimei Fuyao, Uncle-Master, Aunt-Master, and the three seniors, are you alright?"

"We are alright."

At this time, the fox had already approached Xian Zhu, clearly also very concerned about her, sniffing around her.

"We are alright." Xian Zhu couldn't help but move to the side. "Why does Third Shixiong Xiao Shimei Fuyao always act like an animal?"

"?"

The fox looked up at her, looking very surprised: "Why are you like a human?"

This question actually stumped Xian Zhu.

Not long after, another immortal arrived, but he was covered in wounds.

It was Wan Xinrong.

"True Person!"

"Hard work, Wan Gong." Lin Jue bowed to him.

"I guessed that the True Person here must have won," Wan Xinrong returned the bow. "I dare not say it was hard work; I only hate that my own ability was insufficient and I couldn't fight that Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Zhenhai. Fortunately, he didn't have much fighting intent, so I just circled around with him for a period of time, only hoping to be of some help to Mount Yishan."

As soon as these words were spoken, the numerous Daoists on the mountain, whether human or yaoguai, bowed and thanked him.

Spiritual light bloomed from Wan Xinrong's body again.

"Hmm?"

Wan Xinrong was instantly vigilant, thinking it was because he had faced a Husheng Husheng Zhenjun who had been through many battles for this period of time, and he was too tense. Soon he reacted; this was a friend, not an enemy.

Under the spiritual light, the injuries on his body recovered rapidly.

"What kind of miraculous power is this?"

"This is the ability of my Fifth Third Third Shixiong. He is the Medical Ji Xianren who is widely spread in the mortal realm."

"So that's how it is."

During the conversation, the broken silhouette of Heishan had already been restored, leaving only the grass and trees on the mountain not yet restored.

? co

But this happened to be Lin Jue's ability.

"Come..."

Lin Jue waved his sleeve, and the grass and trees on the mountain were immediately restored.

They didn't grow new ones, but came back from the dead.

Under the cover of grass and trees, the details in Heishan that hadn't been fully restored, such as some stone cracks, some large pits, and some lava burned out by divine fire, were all invisible. Just like a person putting on clothes, the scars left in the struggle were covered, so it looked not much different from before. However, there were some left, such as the stone crack left by the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun's sword energy on the mountainside of Tiandou Peak, which had to be slowly restored by the Mount Yishan Mountain Yili Shenjun.

Lin Jue looked carefully and pondered for a moment, but still seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

So he waved his hand again.

In an instant, the rhododendrons, magnolias, peach, plum, apricot, and pear trees on the mountain, and even the wild grass by the small path, all bloomed with flowers.

The fresh flowers decorated the entire mountain, which was very fitting and also made people feel happy.

Since they had won and the dead had come back to life, not only should they be happy, but they should be surprised.

Several senior and junior brothers and sisters naturally walked together, and Jiyang and his disciples followed beside them.

True Person Xuanming, Daoist Bai Luan, and True Person Moyu also gathered in a group. Xian Zhu followed Fuyao and honestly followed behind Lin Jue. Wan Xinrong walked to the side of Daoist Tao, the others, and Jia Qiaozi. Several people congratulated Wan Xinrong on attaining the Dao, unable to help but show envy. Wan Xinrong asked them about the previous struggle, and hearing that Jia Qiaozi and Daoist Tao's disciple had died but came back to life, even though he had already attained the Dao, he still couldn't help but show surprise.

The mountain flowers were blooming, as beautiful as an immortal realm.

Only, amidst the happiness, there was also sorrow.

"Fuqiu Temple was destroyed, right?"

"Xianyuan Temple was also destroyed."

"Many Daoist temples on the mountain were destroyed."

"Pity..."

Several senior brothers scanned the mountain, feeling deep regret.

Lin Jue took out a seal.

"Chen Niu, Chen Niu."

In silence, a brown-clothed little ghost appeared:

"My name is Chen Niu!"

"Bring a message for me, bring it to the Tianshan Ancestor, bring it to Daoist Jiang, and then to... forget it, let those three continue to travel outside and seek opportunities. Since the Purple Emperor has been defeated, there might be demons and evil yaoguai taking advantage of this time to make trouble, so it's just right to appease the world," Lin Jue said. "Just bring it to these two, and invite them to gather at Mount Yishan."

"!!"

Chen Niu stared straight at him, and after a while, it disappeared.

"Xian Zhu."

"Master."

"Go back to Mount Feng and see if those True Lords and divine generals have made things difficult for our practice ground. If not, pick all the ripe immortal fruits on the mountain and bring them over. By the way, call Ziyun over. She has been taking care of the fruit trees in our two places all this time, and she has worked hard."

"Yes..."

At this time, Xian Zhu had no stubbornness from before when she forcibly changed places in front of her master, but was very well-behaved and drove her clouds away.

"Jiyang."

"Little Uncle-Master."

"I still have some Thousand-Day Ji Xianren Wine stored at the Mountain Yili Shenjun of Langtou Mountain. Go and get it," Lin Jue said. "In a few days, we will drink to our heart's content."

"Good!"

After Jiyang agreed, he pointed his disciples to do it.

Lin Jue then reacted. The little nephew who used to turn around him because of some dishes back then was now the Temple Master of Fuqiu Temple, having become an old Daoist who didn't look old.

There were actually quite a few people left on Mount Yishan.

This was thanks to the fact that the battlefield of the heavenly soldiers and generals was in the sky, among the white clouds. The True Lords and spirit officials, regardless of their attitude toward yaoguai, were very proud and didn't attack the weak casually. Even if the divine officials and thunder generals in the sky set fires and summoned thunder, it was not an indiscriminate cleaning of the mountain. Instead, the Purple Emperor's three moves were aimed at leveling the entire Mount Yishan. Except for some people who were affected and accidentally injured, others could survive as long as they hid far away and hid well.

Some Daoists and spirits and monsters bowed to them on the mountain.

Several people walked along the small path on the wall covered with mountain flowers, passed through Mount Yishan, and returned to Fuqiu Peak. However, the Daoist temple here was already nothing but broken walls and ruins.

"Sigh..."

Jiyang couldn't help but sigh.

"Why sigh?"

Lin Jue said, beckoning with his hand.

All the broken walls, broken bricks, rotten tiles, and wood scraps flew up again, gathering into the original palaces and rooms.

The expressions of several people finally eased.

Then they sat cross-legged and talked about the previous battle.

In the early stage, the Mountain Yili Shenjun used the mountain's spiritual aura to defend, and the Daoists on the mountain also cooperated in defense, which was both to delay time and to wear down the power of the Nine Heavens. Later, when the defense was broken, it was a battle of real swords and guns.

The Xiao Xiao Shimei, as a Five-Element Ji Xianren, and the Third Third Shixiong with the Mountain-Moving Mirror were undoubtedly the absolute main force. The Mountain Yili Shenjun alone restrained the Great Defense Yili Shenjun, while the Fifth Third Third Shixiong and Seventh Third Third Shixiong, who were in the dark, were the best support, cooperating with the other senior brothers and two yaoguai seniors to confront the True Lords and Venerable Immortals of the Nine Heavens head-on. True Person Xuanming led several protectors, Jiyang, other Daoists on the mountain, the numerous bean soldiers passed down from Fuqiu Temple, and the Mountain Yili Shenjun's several protector gods to confront the heavenly soldiers and generals, forming the main battlefield of Mount Yishan.

However, outside Mount Yishan, Wan Xinrong held back Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Zhenhai who came from the west, Xian Zhu held back Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Yingyao in the extremely cold land, the Tianshan Ancestor gathered other Western Region natural deities to block the Bodhisattvas from the Buddhist Gate, and later Yili Shenjun Yi Li and Daoist Jiang blocked the Buddhist Bodhisattvas again, and the Southern Heavenly Master successively persuaded the two Eastern True Lords to retreat. Their roles could not be ignored.

Until now, the Purple Emperor had been trapped, and the Southern Emperor Yu Jian had taken action, starting to contend for the orthodoxy of the Nine Heavens.

From a certain perspective, this was also helping Lin Jue bear the pressure.

However, it was a bit late—

If he had taken action earlier and fought side by side with Lin Jue from the beginning, even if Lin Jue knew he might not be upright enough, it would have been difficult to stop him from taking charge of the Nine Heavens after the Purple Emperor's failure.

In terms of reason and situation, it was difficult to stop him.

At most, it would be waiting until the end of the current dynasty, when the world was in chaos again, to help the Southern Heavenly Master replace Emperor Yu Jian and become the Heavenly Emperor.

However, Emperor Yu Jian had lost this opportunity.

Since Lin Jue had trapped the Purple Emperor without his help, he would absolutely not help him take charge of the Nine Heavens again.

He would rather let the Purple Emperor remain the nominal Heavenly Emperor, giving the Southern Heavenly Master time to develop, so that the Nine Heavens could welcome a relatively more upright Heavenly Lord.

Lin Jue sat in the Mountain-Moving Hall, holding Fuyao, pondering in his heart.

At this moment, it was purely for the public good.

After all, Yili Shenjun Fuchi had already taken action and couldn't do anything to him, and even the Purple Emperor had been defeated once. Lin Jue had also become a Great Power. By the time the Purple Emperor came out, his miraculous powers would likely be even better. Even if the Purple Emperor could still control the Nine Heavens, he wouldn't be able to make things difficult for him. Even if the Purple Emperor were released at this time, he would likely be restrained by Emperor Yu Jian, putting his energy into the struggle for the Nine Heavens, rather than exterminating demons and yaoguai.

In short, he had effectively posed no threat to Fuyao or Mount Yishan. The one trapped in the cave heaven outside the world was actually a card Lin Jue used to balance Emperor Yu Jian.

Thinking of this, Lin Jue realized that he had forgotten to release Yili Shenjun Fuchi.

At the same time, in another heaven and earth.

Another Lin Jue drank the last cup of tea.

Yili Shenjun Fuchi opposite asked: "What was the name of that chess master you mentioned earlier?"

"Surname Gu, Mr. Gu. At this time, he is a guest in another immortal realm," Lin Jue said, standing up. "I have to say, playing chess with the Yili Shenjun is much more interesting than playing with that old immortal."

"What do you mean?"

"Haha..."

Lin Jue laughed a few times and made a gesture of invitation to him:

"Please, Yili Shenjun."

"Hmm?" Yili Shenjun Fuchi's eyes turned cold. "Why, have you already defeated the Emperor?"

"Almost."

"Lady Lady Yao Hua has emerged again?"

"Not exactly," Lin Jue said. "But it was indeed her action that suppressed the Purple Emperor."

"Where is the Emperor?"

"The Purple Emperor's obsession is too deep, so I left him as a guest in another place," Lin Jue said. "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for him. I will release him at the appropriate time. It's just that the Yili Shenjun knows clearly that the struggle for the Nine Heavens has always been decided by victory or defeat. After this battle, no matter what, he cannot be the Heavenly Emperor again. It's just that I want to use his remaining prestige to stabilize the Nine Heavens, so that Emperor Yu Jian doesn't immediately become the Heavenly Lord."

"You don't want Emperor Yu Jian to be the Heavenly Lord?"

"Doesn't the Yili Shenjun think there is a better candidate?"

"Are you talking about that Heaven-Monitoring and Demon-Subduing Emperor?"

"Exactly!"

"He is upright and suits my taste!" Yili Shenjun Fuchi said, his eyes turning cold. "But you actually dare to imprison the Heavenly Emperor?"

"How is that imprisonment? It's just like the Yili Shenjun, being a guest here. I also left a clone to accompany him," Lin Jue looked at Yili Shenjun Fuchi, his expression sincere. "And from the Yili Shenjun's perspective, if I didn't use the cave heaven outside the world to keep him inside, was there any other way? Should I beat a Heavenly Emperor to death?"

"Hmph..."

"Please, Yili Shenjun," Lin Jue said. "The Nine Heavens has already begun to turmoil at this time. If the Yili Shenjun goes out, Emperor Yu Jian will also have some wariness."

Where he pointed, a hole had already appeared.

"A well-calculated plan!"

"By the way! Does the Yili Shenjun know of any miraculous power or treasure that can change one's natural talent and destiny, allowing those who cannot cultivate the Dao to cultivate?"

"Find it yourself!"

Yili Shenjun Fuchi said, stepping out directly.

Only hearing a laugh coming from behind:

"Haha, very well. In the future, when I have time, I will come to visit the Yili Shenjun again and ask the Yili Shenjun to play chess, drink tea, and drink wine."

Yili Shenjun Fuchi looked back, and that hole, the cave heaven inside, and the Daoist all disappeared immediately. ===== CHAPTER 602 =====

Yili Shenjun Fuchi looked back, and that hollow, the heaven within the cave, and that Daoist all vanished in an instant.
