Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

Liang Xiao was silent, and the groom was even more silent.

The ultimate realm of true king?

The crossing saint monk may be comparable.

However, the Luotian Dajiao not only improves the magical power and realm cultivation, but also the power of the avenue and the ability of supernatural powers.

That man's thunder technique is already terrifying, but if Luo Tian Jiao comes again, if he uses the power of Lei Ancestor, can the Holy Monk Du Xing resist it?

I'm afraid there is little hope.

Unless... Chen Chao holds another land and water ceremony to compete with the Luotian Jiao.

But this water and land ceremony is not so easy to hold.

This level of sacrifice requires a lot of money. Not to mention other things, the incense offerings alone will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and when converted into money, it is an astronomical amount.

For example, in Guobei County, millions of people and every household set up altars with incense tables and three animals for worship. There were also melons, fruits and beans, incense talismans, and Taoist flags. They had to be changed every seven days, and seven consecutive sacrifices were made. On the 749th, all these things are enough to make the national treasury empty.

How can the current Chen Dynasty get this money? Even if they can get it, they may not have much left after getting their hands on it. Governments in various places have to cleverly create names and recruit people. The people's sacrifices have not been completed, and the karma of resentment has come first.

By then, will this water and land ceremony still be held?

The method of the soul can be practiced through falsehood, but the achievements go hand in hand. The reason why water can carry a boat can also capsize it cannot be understood!

Fortunately, Liang Xiao had already looked away and just sighed.

Only the groom remained silent, looking solemn and thinking to himself.

Without saying much, Wuhua led the two of them forward.

The road was busy with traffic, transporting supplies, and teams of academy students patrolling back and forth.

After leaving the city, we saw even more fortifications. We saw a post within ten steps and a sentry within five steps. They were all heavily armored and fully armed soldiers. There were also many students in academic uniforms placing flags and surveying the formation.

"This is……?"

Liang Xiao was surprised, and the groom was even more curious.

"The disciples of Tianwu Daoyuan and the soldiers of Junwujiang Academy, as well as the formation masters of Zhoutian Formation Academy and the talisman masters of Longzhang Fu Academy."

Wuhua turned around and looked at the groom: "Now, martial law is in place inside and outside Guobei. Guards are guarded by the Yingwu and Tianwu guards. There are also formation masters and talisman masters to set up the magic circle. Not to mention you alone, all the black flag guards are here. , you may not be able to fight in or rush out."

"..."

The groom could only remain silent after hearing this.

Wu Hua didn't say much and looked at Liang Xiao: "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Liang Xiao smiled and said calmly: "Master, please call me Xiaoliang. There is no longer Liang Xiao in the world!"

"Good, good, good!"

Seeing his enlightenment, Wu Hua was also happy: "The poor monk wants to go to Mingxiao Temple and offer him a stick of incense. Can the donor of Xiaoliang come with him?"

"I would like to go with the master."

Liang Xiao smiled and asked again: "This should also be the mission of the academy, right?"

There seems to be a double entendre in the words.

Wuhua looked calm and noncommittal: "Yes, the teachers and disciples of the nine main academies, as well as the monks in Guobei County, all have to go to Mingxiao Temple to worship the incense."

"oh?"

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Are there any credits?"

"Of course there is."

"Then I can't miss it."

The two looked at each other, smiled, turned around and left hand in hand.

The groom was left alone, looking at the ten-step post, the five-step post, the two heroic Tianwu guards under martial law in all directions, and the busy formation masters and talisman masters everywhere. He could only sigh helplessly, turned around, and walked away lonely. .

…

Ji Lei Mountain, Ming Xiao Temple!

Over the past few decades, this place has also undergone great changes.

There are still peach blossoms in the forest, but there is no confusion. The mountain gate is wide open and the blue clouds are rising straight up.

Today, there are hundreds of Taoists who have arranged the Luotian Jiao, and the apricot-yellow flags are lined up in two rows. From the foot of the mountain, up the steps, they are fluttering in the wind and marching in all directions.

When you reach the middle of the mountain, you will see a altar where 1,200 human ghosts, gods and immortals are worshipped.

Halfway up the mountain, along the way, we saw 2,400 altars enshrined, surrounded by stars and gods.

On the top of the mountain, an altar stands high, with many statues of gods on the left and right, and tablets, totaling 33600, to worship the supreme beings of the three realms, the saints of the ten directions, gods, kings, emperors, and other heavenly officials.

There is also a piece of five-color cloth to cover the sky and the sun, covering the altar. It was opened for sacrifices before it was time to worship heaven.

Wu Hua and Liang Xiao came hand in hand and found that there was already a long queue. Many disciples of the academy, Guo Bei cultivators, and Buddhists and Taoists from Faming and Qingping lined up to offer incense.

"Is this the Luotian Dajiao?"

Looking at the flags and altars covering almost the entire Jilei Mountain, even Liang Xiao couldn't help but be speechless, and then asked Xiang Wuhua: "How does it compare to the water and land ceremony of the holy monk in the past?"

"Can't reach it."

Wu Hua shook his head: "Although the Holy Monk Du Xing was a great virtue, the country was in decline at that time. The implementation of the New Deal was faced with many obstacles and the people were complaining. How can such a Dharma conference have mixed achievements? How can we compare it with this? ?”

"yes!"

Liang Xiao nodded with a sigh.

Cultivation can be done under false pretenses and cannot be forced.

If it’s not done well, it’s just not good.

Even if he is threatened by weapons and forced to bow his head, the resentment in his heart cannot be eliminated, and the country will eventually be overthrown.

Nowadays, in Guobei, the people have enough food and clothing, and all the people worship sincerely. The effect of the sacrifices can be imagined.

It is far better than the water and land ceremony held by the holy monk Duxing in the capital.

"I just don't know who is so divine as to be able to do this to the dean and the King of Stone."

After careful consideration, Liang Xiao no longer believed that this Luotian feast was for Chen Chao.

With Chen Chao's current situation, there is no need to put up such a formation.

If it’s not Chen Chao, what is that?

Liang Xiao didn't know and was very curious.

Wu Hua smiled and said softly: "I don't know, even the poor monk, I'm just waiting to see."

…

Time flies, and it’s January in a blink of an eye.

Liang Xiao's life returned to daily life.

Mobilization was underway, but war was not yet here.

Everything passed quietly in peace and unease.

Guobei was under martial law and no entry or exit was allowed, which caused great uneasiness in the surrounding area, but it soon fell silent.

Sacrifice has become a daily routine. Although there are many offerings and a huge amount of money is spent, Guobei Academy's wealth can fully support it and the people have no complaints.

Just like that, the 7749th day came to the 33rd day.

Ji Lei Mountain, Ming Xiao Temple!

In front of the altar, Xu Yang opened his eyes.

"coming!!!"

Between the eyebrows, a spiritual light bloomed, revealing an indifferent, vertical eye that penetrated the three realms.

When the Heavenly Eye illuminates the mysterious light cave, one can see an uncertain golden dragon light and shadow coming through the sky at an astonishing speed in the boundless sea of ​​clouds.

It is the Shenzhou treasure ship that was transformed from the remains of the real dragon.

The divine boat flew into the sky, the treasure ship broke through the void, and came straight to Guobei.

Inside, apart from Duke Chu, Sword Demon Ape, Jing Lei Jiao, and True Lord Xunlong, there were hundreds of demon kings, thousands of demon generals, and tens of thousands of large and small demons.

This was the army of demons formed by Duke Chu during this period of time, traveling around the world, connecting all parties.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

As a thousand-year-old demon, he naturally knows how terrifying it is for a righteous monk to fight at home. Even if he and the others become demon emperors and force their way in, they may not be able to gain the favor.

They must have a large army to attack Guobei and destroy the formation before they can hope to succeed.

Therefore, after the Mang Mountain alliance, he spent a lot of time traveling around, coercing and luring people, and connecting demons from all over the place to form this army, and he just came to kill them now.

Now is the moment of decisive victory, and the battle is about to begin!

"snort!"

Seeing the menacing Shenzhou treasure ship, Xu Yang said nothing, turned around and left the hall, and came to the altar.

With a sweep of the dust, the five-color cloth was gone, revealing a clear sky, and the sky and the earth were connected for an instant.

Although it has only been thirty-three days and the merits have not yet been fully achieved, it is enough to cope with it.

Xu Yang put away his fly whisk, put on his robes, and climbed up to the Jiuyi High Altar.

First, three sticks of incense are offered, and then the disciples on the left and right beat the Dharma drums, sounding twenty-four tongs.

Amidst the sound of drums, Xu Yang asked for the magic sword, stepped on the steps, cast spells and recited incantations.

"The blue sun reflects in vain, the sun returns to the spirit, the divine tiger wards off evil spirits, the flying bells flow, destroy rapes and test, the demons are bundled together, the nine microscopic return paths, the eight powers absorb the essence, the thousand truths are recorded, the three yuan is clear, Zuo Xiaozhong Huang, on the right, he made six moves, turning seven times and combining eight directions, circumnavigating the heavenly scriptures, sanctifying the towering tower, moving along the three paths, cheering the clouds, and uniting the scenery of the Huangting..."

"In the beginning of the supreme three days of Xuan Yuan, Yi Qi transformed into the old man, the ultimate supreme Tao of the Three Pure Ones, the Golden Palace and Jade Emperor of Haotian!"

"Disciple, I sincerely wish that the first wish is that the light of the spirit lights up, the second wish is that the moon shines brightly, the third wish is that grace spreads to the nine places, the fourth wish is that sincerity reaches the nine heavens, the fifth wish is that the true spirits gather together, the sixth wish is that the Dao Qi is around, the seventh wish is that the heaven is open, The eight wishes are that hell will be destroyed, the nine wishes are that all mysteries are universally suppressed, the ten wishes are that they can fly in the sky, the eleven wishes are that universal virtues will be embraced, and the twelve wishes are that the Tao will be transformed into inaction.”

"Sincerely, I am the supreme being of the three realms, the supreme saint of the ten directions, the innocent emperor of the Jade Capital and the Golden Palace, the masters and saints of the ten directions, the officials and subordinates of the three realms, and all the powerful spirits!"

The Dharma trumpet sounds and the incantation urges!

The world is changing, the wind and clouds are moving!

All of a sudden...

"Boom!"

There was a thunderbolt in the clear sky and a huge earthquake in the sky and the earth.

The wind and clouds are changing, roaring in all directions.

Outside Guobei County, in the sea of ​​clouds, a Shenzhou treasure ship flew in from the sky.

Inside the treasure ship, it forms a world of its own, accommodating tens of thousands of demon soldiers.

"Guobei has arrived, children, fight in, eat as much as you like, and achieve the great road!"

A giant wolf with silver-gray fur stood upright and roared toward the sky. It was none other than the Duke of Chu who had appeared in his original form.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Tens of demons roared, and demonic energy surged into the sky.

Right here...

"Um!?"

Jing Lei Jiao's expression changed, and he raised his head in surprise.

Suddenly...

"Boom!"

There was a loud noise, the sky and the earth shook, and then there was a heavy rain.

Thunderstorm, thunderstorm, thunderstorm again.

Timely help!

But it is not made naturally, but is the magical power of Luotian Dajiao, which can call wind and rain, drive thunder and lightning.

"Boom!"

Heavy rain poured down, thunder struck, and bright lightning tore through the sky. Carrying the power of thunder, it struck heavily on the Shenzhou treasure ship.

Even if it is a remnant of the real dragon, even if it is an ancient magic weapon, it cannot withstand the power of the world. The real dragon screams sadly, and the shadow becomes real and falls down.

"Boom!"

Within the Shenzhou and the treasure ship, there was also a huge rumbling and earthquake, and tens of thousands of demons staggered and trembled under the impact of thunder.

Duke Chu was even more frightened and angry: "What's going on?"

"There's an ambush!"

"Damn it!"

"So cunning!"

Jing Lei Jiao and the other three True Demon Emperors were also frightened and angry, gritting their teeth with hatred, but they did not dare to take the risk at this time. They could only say to Duke Chu: "The matter has been exposed. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the dark. The situation is unfavorable. withdraw!"

"this……!"

Duke Chu gritted his teeth and was extremely unwilling, but he did not get carried away by his anger after all. He activated his magic power, controlled the Shenzhou, and was about to turn into void and fly away.

The remains of a real dragon, an ancient magic weapon, has the ability to turn reality into emptiness. It can escape into emptiness and no one can stop it. It has helped Duke Chu escape from death countless times.

This time, it's no exception...

"The sky is full of spirit, the earth is full of spirit, disciples respectfully ask the Patriarch Jiu Tian to respond to the universal thunder of thunder. Today, we set up an iron siege. This place has turned into a thunder prison. It is invisible in all directions. The copper and iron walls are thousands of feet deep. The golden light is dazzling, thunder and lightning are covered, and the clouds of disaster are covered. The thunder is falling from above, the demons and monsters cannot stand together, the ghosts and monsters are frightened, I serve the supreme jade pure divine soldiers who are as urgent as the law!"

"disease!!!"

With a sharp shout, the spell was activated, and in the midst of the violent storm, lightning and thunder, an illusory figure appeared, with disheveled hair and three eyes on the forehead, showing a majestic and angry look, riding a mysterious ink unicorn on his hip, holding Ruyi in one hand , holding a golden whip in one hand, even though he has an illusory body and an uncertain appearance, he still has boundless power.

It is none other than the Thunder Ancestor of Taoism - the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder Universal Transformation Heavenly Lord!

Lei Zu appeared, whipped his golden whip, and the sky was filled with thunder. It turned into a bunch of thunder whips and struck heavily on the Shenzhou treasure ship.

"hold head high!!!"

Just hearing a mournful cry, the Shenzhou treasure ship transformed from the true dragon's relic, which was in the middle of nothingness, was interrupted by a whip of thunder. It instantly turned the void into reality, broke from it, and countless demons spilled out. Falling straight down.

"Damn it!"

"This thunder method!!!"

"How is that possible!!!"

All the monsters were horrified, and the Duke of Chu and others were also in disbelief. They hurriedly summoned their magic power and tried to escape, but they did not dare to resist them.

Just kidding, even Lei Zu has been invited to the opposite side. Even if it is just a shadow, a shadow that is not even an incarnation, it is not something that the so-called demon emperors in the world can compete with.

Didn’t you see that Shenzhou treasure ship and all the ancient magic weapons were shattered with one blow?

Run away!

All the demons fled in panic, with the four great demon emperors and true monarchs, including Duke Chu and others, leading the way.

However……

"Boom!"

In the midst of violent winds and rain, lightning and thunder, the earth suddenly collapsed, and high walls rose in all directions, rising thousands of feet high.

In an instant, a besieged city was connected to the sky and the earth, with an endless abyss as the bottom, dark clouds covering the top, and thunder and lightning striking away, connecting the copper and iron walls, and all directions were immediately bright, filled with the glow of thunder and lightning.

It is the magical power of thunder - Thunder Purgatory Iron Siege!

Thousands of feet long, connected to the sky and the earth. Although it is just a metaphor, the thunderous purgatory iron siege city that suddenly appeared was thousands of feet wide in all directions, trapping tens of thousands of demons such as Duke Chu and others.

at the same time……

In the cafeteria of Guobei Academy, Liang Xiao was queuing up. Before he could sigh at the sudden thunderstorm, he saw...

"Look, what is that?"

An exclamation attracted everyone.

Liang Xiao followed the sound and then stood on the ground in shock.

In the distance, under the calamity clouds, in the darkness, sword rays of light rose vertically and horizontally, forming a mighty sword stream and rushing into the sky, heading straight into the distance.

"That is……"

"Direction of the main courtyard!"

"The direction of our Shushan Sword Academy?"

"That sword light...?"

"Is it the dean's flying sword?"

"No, no, no, the dean's flying sword is not so glorious!"

"That's a disciple of Shushan Sword Academy!"

"What do they want?"

Seeing the brilliant stream of swords rising into the sky and sinking into the sky, the freshmen who had just entered the school in the cafeteria experienced a new round of shock.

the other side……

"Boom!"

In a restaurant facing the street, Lao Ma carefully opened the window and observed the outside world.

This thunderstorm was unusual. As soon as the heavy rain came, every house was closed, and pedestrians outside were also sheltered in various shops. In an instant, the streets were empty.

Obviously there have been drills.

As the secret guard of the Dachen royal family, he has a very keen sense of smell and his premonitions are even more accurate.

Something is happening, something big is happening!

As for what the big deal is...

"!!!"

As he was thinking, Lao Ma's eyes suddenly shrank.

I could only see the outside world, above the streets, in the pouring rain, in front of various shops, the incense offerings were still burning, the green smoke was still curling, the offerings of three animals, and the melons, fruits and beans were not disrupted by the wind and rain.

What's going on?

Lao Ma didn't know, he only saw a blur of shadows, and then groups of soldiers and horses appeared next to the incense offering tables everywhere.

Wearing black robes and black armor, with paper soldiers and horses, and a gloomy air all over his body, he does not look like a stranger.

Yin soldiers!

Ghost general!

Groups of ghost soldiers and generals sat beside the incense table, inhaling incense and eating fruits. Some even grabbed the heads of three animals and feasted on them.

In the blink of an eye, the incense turned to ashes, the melons and fruits withered, and even the flesh and blood of the three animals turned into gray and white wax color.

"Ho ho ho!"

A group of Yin soldiers and ghost generals were just satisfied. They got on the paper-tied war horses and turned into a raging wind. Thousands of them merged into a tide and rushed outwards. No one knows how many there were.

"Tap tap tap!"

As the Yin soldiers left, they saw the earth shaking again, horseshoes like thunder, and a heavily armored and fully armed cavalry galloping out. Waves of mist evaporated in the heavy rain, and the human body's energy and blood were as hot as fire, evaporating. Caused by rain.

"Tooth soldiers?"

"Musha!"

"It's the Yingwu Guards of Tianwu Daoyuan and the Tianwu Guards of Junwujiang Academy!"

"Except for those who are under martial law outside, they actually still have an army of warriors?"

"No, it should be said that these are the real Yingwuwei and Tianwuwei!"

"Where are they going?"

As the secret guard of the royal family's black flag, Lao Ma, who was both a warrior and a sergeant, watched his "kind" galloping away, feeling frightened in his heart.

at the same time……

Outside Lanruo Temple, on top of the solitary peak.

True Lord Evergreen looked at the sky from a distance, felt the power of the boundless thunder, and murmured: "It is true that there are talented people in this country, and the old masters are not as good as them!"

After saying that, he shook his head, swept away the dust, and floated into the sky: "Everyone, stabilize the formation and be careful, don't let the old demon have any gaps and ruin the plan of fellow Taoist to slay the demon!"

"True Lord, don't worry!"

"We will live up to our orders!"

In an instant, all parties responded and formed heavy formations to suppress the ghosts.

A little late, but great chapter
