Chapter 626: The Three Armies Converge, the Decisive Battle Approaches

"We must prove that we are qualified to obtain it."

Zhang Wuji walked to the edge of the cave entrance and looked down.

The cave was pitch black, but one could vaguely see golden light flickering.

That should be the radiance of the Mountain and River Stone.

"Senior Dragon King!" Zhang Wuji shouted toward the cave entrance.

"Junior Zhang Wuji has come to save the Three Realms; please grant us the Mountain and River Stone!"

"Roar!"

An even more furious dragon roar came from within the cave.

Clearly, the Tai Gu Long Wang was very dissatisfied with their arrival.

"It seems we must go down and talk face-to-face," Zhang Wuji said with a bitter smile.

Taixuan Laozu nodded.

"The Tai Gu Long Wang has a proud and aloof personality and does not like to be disturbed," he said.

"To obtain the Mountain and River Stone, one must pass its trial."

Zhang Wuji took a deep breath and made his decision.

"I will go down first," he said, "If the situation is not right, you all must retreat immediately."

"Alliance Leader, we will go with you!" the Shushan Disciples said.

"That's right, we will not leave you behind!" the Qingcheng disciples also echoed.

Zhang Wuji felt a warmth in his heart, but he still shook his head.

"Too many people going down will only anger the Dragon King," he said.

"It is enough for me to go alone."

After speaking, Zhang Wuji leaped into the deep cave.

The cave was pitch black, and he fell rapidly.

He did not know how much time had passed before he finally saw the light at the bottom.

It was a massive underground space, like a natural palace.

In the center of the space, a massive golden dragon was coiled.

This dragon was a thousand zhang long, its scales shimmering like gold.

The dragon's head was held high, and its pair of dragon eyes were like two golden suns, incomparably majestic.

Beneath the golden dragon, a palm-sized stone was lying quietly.

That stone emitted an earthy yellow light, containing the heavy aura of the earth.

This was the Mountain and River Stone!

"Human, you dare to intrude upon this King's domain?"

The Tai Gu Long Wang spoke, its voice resounding through the entire space like thunder.

Zhang Wuji bowed deeply.

"Junior Zhang Wuji pays respects to Senior Dragon King!"

On the Xuese Pingyuan of the Mo Jie, three teams arrived from different directions.

The first to arrive was Lin Xuan's group.

He held Xiao Yuan in his arms, with Xiao Yisheng following behind him.

Xiao Yuan's complexion was rosy and her breathing steady; clearly, she had fully recovered.

Moreover, she was emitting a faint chill; that was the mark left by the Nine Nether Han Quan.

"Lin Xuan!"

Nezha's voice came from the sky.

He flew in from afar riding his Wind Fire Wheels, followed by dense ranks of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

A full army of one hundred thousand, with banners fluttering and an aura like a rainbow.

"Brother Nezha!" Lin Xuan waved happily.

Nezha landed on the ground and walked quickly toward Lin Xuan.

"Great, you are all unharmed!" Nezha said excitedly.

"How is the situation in the Heavenly Court?" Lin Xuan asked with concern.

"The Mozun's avatar has been destroyed, and Yudi has also recovered," Nezha explained simply.

"So he sent one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to support us."

At this moment, the ground began to vibrate.

Zhang Wuji led the team of Human Cultivators as they arrived.

Although the number of people in the team was half what it was when they set out, everyone was emitting a powerful aura.

Clearly, this trial had made them stronger.

"Brother Wuji!" Lin Xuan went to greet him.

Zhang Wuji looked a bit exhausted, but his spirit was good.

He patted the bundle on his back, which was emitting a seven-colored light.

"All six divine stones have been obtained," Zhang Wuji said, "but the price was not small."

Lin Xuan looked at the team of Human Cultivators; the losses were indeed heavy.

Many familiar faces were gone.

"For the sake of the Three Realms, these sacrifices are worth it," Taixuan Laozu said in a deep voice.

After the three groups of people converged, the atmosphere became lively.

Having been separated for these days, everyone had experienced trials of life and death.

Now that they were gathered together again, everyone felt very excited inside.

"Xiao Yuan, how are you feeling now?" Nezha asked with concern.

Xiao Yuan stepped down from Lin Xuan's embrace and stood firmly.

"I am very well, even better than before," she said with a smile.

"The Nine Nether Cold Spring not only healed my wounds but also allowed me to gain new power."

As she spoke, Xiao Yuan waved her hand gently.

Countless ice crystals instantly condensed in the air, sparkling and shining.

"Ice-type divine ability?" Xiao Yisheng said in surprise.

"It's not just that," Xiao Yuan's silver-white pupils flickered, "my precognition ability has also become stronger."

"I can see further into the future, and it is much clearer."

Zhang Wuji hurriedly asked, "Then have you seen the result of our operation this time?"

Xiao Yuan closed her eyes and began to probe the future.

Her silver-white pupils rotated rapidly beneath her eyelids, and various scenes surged forth like a tide.

Suddenly, Xiao Yuan's expression changed drastically, and she opened her eyes abruptly.

"Not good!" she exclaimed, "The true body of Nitian Mozun is about to awaken!"

"We don't have much time left!"

As soon as the words fell, a roar that shook the heavens and earth came from the depths of the distant Mo Jie.

"Roar!!!"

This roar was filled with anger and killing intent, shaking the entire Mo Jie.

The blood-red sky began to twist and deform, and a huge vortex appeared.

Countless black tentacles stretched out from the vortex, dancing crazily in the air.

"It's the Mozun!" Lin Xuan gripped his Taichu Holy Sword.

On the horizon, a black, oppressive army began to appear.

Countless Mo tribe warriors surged from all directions, covering the earth like a black tide.

"At least a million!" Nezha's expression was grave.

What was even more terrifying was that there were many huge figures within the Mo tribe army.

Those were the Yuan Gu Moshen who had been sealed during the Taichu period.

Each one was dozens of zhang tall, their entire bodies radiating an aura of destruction.

"Shenyuan Moshen, Huimie Moshen, Xuwu Moshen..." Taixuan Laozu recited these names, his voice trembling.

"How did these guys all wake up?"

Xiao Yuan hurriedly explained, "The power fluctuations of the Mozun's awakening have roused all the sealed Moshen."

"Now all the evil power of the entire Mo Jie is gathering!"

Although the Coalition Army was in high spirits, facing such powerful enemies, many people felt a bit timid inside.

At this moment, Zhang Wuji took out the "Taichu Seal Record".

"Now we can only set up the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Array!" he said loudly.

"Although we only have six divine stones, we must give it a try!"

Lin Xuan nodded.

"Right, no matter how low the success rate is, this is our only chance!"

Zhang Wuji opened the ancient book and began to direct everyone to set up the array.

"The Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Array requires nine divine stones as the Array Eye," he said.

"Currently we have the Heaven Origin Stone, Sun Moon Stone, Star Stone, Mountain River Stone, Living Being Stone, and Lun Hui Stone."

"What we are missing are the three from Mo Jie: Hunlun Shi, Void Stone, and Annihilation Stone."

Nezha frowned and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

"Set up the six-stone array first," Zhang Wuji decided, "although the power will be discounted, it is still better than doing nothing."

Everyone immediately took action.

The six divine stones were placed in their designated positions respectively.
