Chapter 149: Rising Waves
With the appearance of Prince Bingling, some people who thought that Zhenren Chengchu's act of granting the ordination was too hasty no longer had any objections.

The number of gods of mountains and earth present was large, but they were basically gods of ancient mountains or ancient lands who were worshipped in ancient times but whose scale was far less than that of the Five Mountains and Nine Provinces. A few of them were subordinate gods of the Five Mountains and Nine Provinces.

There are only two main gods of the Three Mountains, Five Peaks, Five Towns, or the City Gods of the ancient Nine Provinces. One is Bixia Yuanjun, the main god of Mount Tai, who is the master of Shangqing Sect, Chengchu Zhenren, and the other is the Taoist priest who proposed that Cheng Xinzhan receive the ordination, whose inner god is the City God of the ancient Jizhou, Weiwu Gong, who was granted the title of Weiwu in the Shang Dynasty.

As for the gods who command the mountains and govern the earth, Bixia Yuanjun, who is present as the chief god of Mount Tai, can mobilize the soldiers of the mountains, so she can be counted as half of them. But the only one who is truly appointed to lead the three mountains and five mountains is Prince Bingling.

These people are all high-ranking practitioners of the Shangqing Sect, so they must have no shortage of visualization diagrams. Not to mention the image of Prince Bingling, even the image of the Great Emperor Dongyue should be available in Juqu Mountain.

But as I said, visualization pictures are not common, but there is no doubt that those who are good at maintaining their mind are even fewer!
It is not that high-ranking gods are unwilling to visualize, but the higher the position of the gods, the more difficult it is to visualize the Dharma and divine will, and the more difficult it is to conclude the true form of the Dharma.

Therefore, when this young foreigner showed up as Prince Bingling, it was enough to prove that Master Chengchu's act of bestowing the ordination on the battlefield was absolutely appropriate.

Now, there are only two altars left in the Dayan fasting and offering ceremony formation. The images painted on them are: one is a coiled yellow dragon, and the other is a Qilin stepping on its hooves.

It should be a coincidence, but it also seemed as if it was destined by heaven. In ancient times, Bixia Yuanjun's mount was a yellow dragon, and Prince Bingling's mount happened to be a black jade Qilin.

Cheng Xinzhan said nothing, and with a thought, Prince Bingling walked towards the Qilin Altar.

The Three Corpses had previously been hiding in the Three Corpses Island, using the Earth Lung Xuanhuang Qi for protection, and had not engaged the Shangqing Sect head-on, only wanting to defend the Three Corpses Island. But now, seeing the Shangqing Sect summoning spirits to form a siege array around the Three Corpses Island, and making such a big noise, they naturally knew that the formation was not a good thing, and came out like crazy to stop it.

Now seeing that a second-level cultivator was about to join the formation, the three corpses immediately wanted to seize this opportunity and attacked.

However, Master Chengchu was, after all, a great cultivator of the fifth realm. He immediately transformed into countless clones, surrounding Gu Chen and preventing him from escaping. Now he couldn't leave the island even if he wanted to.

Among the people from Shangqing Sect who came this time, in addition to the leader, there is also a great cultivator of the fourth realm, who is currently restraining Cui Ying.

Qingluan, together with other Jindan great monks, stopped Wu Lao and the dragon corpse he was sitting on.

Seeing Prince Bingling return to his throne, Zhenren Chengchu had an idea and also controlled Bixia Yuanjun's Dharma image to return to his position.

The formation is formed.

In an instant, the majestic earth energy rose up in the fasting and offering ceremony formation, and the phantoms of mountains appeared, surrounding the Sanshi Island, as if all the famous mountains on land had descended into the sea.

Seeing this, the trapped three corpses hurriedly returned to the Three Corpses Island and hid in the yellow fog.

However, Gu Chen still controlled countless beast soul zombies, trying to disrupt the fasting and prayer ceremony, but this was doomed to be futile. The beast soul zombies were blocked outside by the earth energy evolved by the formation and could not be broken through at all.

At this time, Chengchu Zhenren threw the fishing drum in his hand, and the fishing drum swelled up in the wind and turned into a huge object, like a purple gold beam across the sea, and fell into the Dharma image of Bixia Yuanjun.

The Dharma image beats the fisherman's drum and chants,
"Before the Supreme Purple Cloud Emperor, the Supreme Great Dao Jade Morning Lord..."

As the sounds of fishing drums and chanting rang out, jade flowers grew out of thin air, and magical light shone in all directions.

Bixia Yuanjun led the way, and the other forty-eight gods responded in unison.

"Before the Supreme Purple Cloud Emperor, the Supreme Great Dao Jade Morning Lord..."

Then, golden lotus began to bloom on the sea.

As the sound of chanting became louder and louder, the sea was raging and the nearby land was shaking. As for the Three Corpses Island, which was facing the sound waves, it was trembling constantly. The beast souls and zombies entangled outside the fasting and offering formation were smashed into pieces by the sound waves.

The earth-lung mysterious yellow energy that had previously covered the Three Corpses Island without moving at all also slowly dissipated amid the chanting.

Bixia Yuanjun formed a spell in her hands, sucking in like a whale and swallowing like a dragon, and wisps of the earth's lungs and the mysterious yellow energy were peeled off from the Three Corpses Island and inhaled into the mouth and nose of the Dharmakāya.

"Everyone, please drink this. It is my reward for your participation in the ritual."

The voice of Master Chengchu rang in everyone's ears.

Upon hearing this, the other forty-eight Taoists naturally would not be polite. They each controlled their inner spirit to absorb the Difei Xuanhuang Qi that was stolen from Difei Mountain by Gu Chen.

Cheng Xinzhan knew that this was an extremely rare opportunity. Huangji Zhengwu Sha was the leader of the 72 Earthly Sha. As long as he could eat it, he wouldn't have to think twice about forming a Dan Sha. He just had to consider which Heavenly Gang to match it with.

Prince Bingling took a deep breath and inhaled, and wisps of yellow air were absorbed.

The rest of the gods naturally also tried their best. This kind of divine object was naturally not only used to form elixirs, it had countless benefits and a hundred uses. It was conceivable that if Gu Chen used it to refine it into the banner, he could stop so many high-level Shangqing cultivators, until he forced the Shangqing Sect Master to this point.

At this moment, Cheng Xinzhan was surprised to find that his speed of absorbing yellow energy was not slower than that of other Jindan Yu masters.

Naturally, he would not think that this was solely due to the inner scene god. Even though Prince Bingling's divine status was higher, in terms of the degree of solidity in external manifestation and the ability to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he was naturally far inferior to the Jindan master.

The only explanation is that the "Taishang Tiandu Lu" just bestowed by Zhenren Chengchu is of extremely high grade, which can at least make up for the gap between himself and the Golden Elixir Dharmakaya in terms of the perception of spiritual energy.

But just as he tasted the sweetness, he heard a female voice coming from the Three Corpse Island shrouded in yellow fog. The female voice was charming and tender. It was the voice of the beautiful corpse Cui Ying.

"My fellow Taoist masters, you are indeed very capable. We are convinced by your abilities. However, you might as well take your eyes off my Three Corpses Island and look into the sea, hahaha."

Everyone's faces changed when they heard this. At this moment, there was no light in the east, and the sea was also dark under the moonlight. They really hadn't noticed anything there before.

Upon hearing the reminder or warning, everyone used their Dharma eyes to look deep into the East China Sea.

"this!"

"What a curse!"

"To be killed!"

Angry shouts were heard everywhere.

Cheng Xinzhan first squinted his eyes and looked towards the east, and saw a white line faintly visible under the hazy moonlight on the surface of the deep East China Sea, moving slowly but quickly towards the shore.

His heart was greatly shocked, and he immediately activated his Dharma Eyes. When his sight got closer, he could see clearly that it was not a white line, but a huge wave that was hundreds of feet high!
Cui Ying on the Three Corpses Island seemed to be able to see everyone's faces through the yellow air, and said with a smile,

"The Shangqing Sect has a thousand-year heritage and countless disciples. We are just three corpses that are not accepted by the world. Fortunately, we also have some friends overseas. Today we established our sect, and they insisted on coming to congratulate us and made such a big fuss. I am sorry to make you unhappy."

Everyone's faces became increasingly ugly. The Three Corpses were colluding with the overseas evil cult.

"Everyone, the waves are coming. I'm afraid you gods won't understand, so I'll start talking now."

Cui Ying's voice suddenly turned cold.
"If you retreat now, this long-brewing wave will stop at the Three Corpses Island. If you refuse to give up and insist on hunting us three brothers and sisters out and killing us, then you should consider whether you can handle this wave of thousands of miles.

"Of course, the Shangqing Sect Altar is far away in Jinling, far from the coast. No matter how big the waves are, they can't reach Jinling. You Taoist gods can kill us, vent your anger, take away the flags, and return to Juqu Mountain.

"But by that time, the southeastern coast will be in ruins, with countless casualties. I'm afraid your Shangqing Sect will no longer be able to call itself a Taoist sect. At that time, you can come to the Demon Sect! Hahahaha!"

Cui Ying's loud laughter echoed across the sea.

Master Chengchu had a gloomy expression on his face and gestured to those around him.

So several people went to the deep part of the East China Sea to check.

These people came back very quickly, all with livid faces, and shook their heads at Master Chengchu.

"Reporting to the master, the waves are surging, and there are evil dragons and evil floods driving them. They have already formed a force that cannot be stopped by human power."

Chengchu Zhenren sighed in her heart. She had already thought that since the overseas demon sect was going to make a comeback, it must be the intention of Fuhai Dragon King. The evil dragon must protect the three corpses. She naturally heard the voice of the Green Robe Patriarch turning into a dragon in the South China Sea and spreading throughout the world.

At the moment, it seems that among the demon cults, there is a long-established overseas demon cult leader, the Dragon King of the Sea, and a southern demon cult leader, the Lilong Green Robe, whose temple is in the Southern Wilderness, adjacent to the South China Sea. Both of them are true dragons of the fifth realm.

The newly established Three Corpses Red Body Sect, the demon corpse Gu Chen was already a great demon of the fifth realm who was causing harm to the area before he was suppressed by the White-eyebrowed Patriarch of Emei. Now he has been able to refine a magic treasure such as the Xuanyin Beast Gathering Banner.

The Red Corpse Wu Lao and the Beautiful Corpse Cui Ying are both old demons in the Fourth Realm who have been hiding their identities for many years. Now that they are born, Wu Lao has taken the dragon corpse as his puppet, and his combat power is no less than that of the Fifth Realm. As for what Cui Ying has up her sleeve, no one knows until now.

It seems inevitable that the evil cult will take control of the coast.

True Man Chengchu remained silent for a long time, and the Dayan fasting and offering ceremony formation was still eroding the dark yellow energy of the earth's lungs.

"Old Taoist nun! You claim to be the ancestral temple of Shangqing, a famous and authentic sect. Even though you are in the fifth realm, it seems that you are still greedy for the divine treasure and disregard the lives of thousands of mortals along the coast!"

Seeing that the earth-lung and black-yellow energy that protected the Three Corpses Island was becoming thinner and thinner, and the images of the gods remained motionless, Cui Ying finally became anxious and could no longer laugh, and began to curse.

The waves were getting closer and closer, but the leader of Shangqing still did not give the order to stop. Many Shangqing disciples began to look at each other in confusion, and all kinds of voices were heard.

On the Three Corpses Island, Gu Chen was still controlling the Xuanyin Beast Gathering Banner to try to hold on.

"Hahahaha, good, great! Then let's see who has the crueler heart!"

Wu Lao's crazy laughter was heard from the yellow fog. Then, he suddenly controlled the dragon corpse to rush out of the yellow fog, scaring everyone. However, he did not attack them, but dived into the sea. It seemed that he wanted to help and went to meet the waves.

Gu Chen was still on the Three Corpses Island, and the Xuanyin Beast Gathering Banner was still on the Three Corpses Island. No one went into the sea to chase a dragon corpse, but just let Wu Lao ride the dragon corpse away.

Until the huge waves were so close that you could see them without the help of your eyes. They were waves as big as mountains, connected to the sky with clouds, and it seemed that they were going to rush up to the sky and wash away even the moon.

The sound of the waves was like thunder, rumbling and deafening.

This is the power of heaven and earth.

Only the dragon clan can create such a wave, and it certainly won't be easy.

Just at this moment, rays of light and voices rang out from behind the crowd.
"Don't worry, Master Chengchu, I'm coming from Wuyi Mountain!"

"Amitabha, I am coming to Putuo Mountain!"

"Everyone, we are coming from Siming Mountain!"

"Yandang Mountain is coming!"

"Here comes Sanqing Mountain!"

"Ge Zaoshan is here!"

"Longhu Mountain is here!"

"The Lushan Sword Sect is here!"

"The devil is rampant, the Wanshou Palace Jingming Sect is here!"

"..."

Like the roar of waves and thunder on the sea, the shouts of registration on land were also like thunder, and the light of Dharma illuminated the sky.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

There was a wild laugh coming from the sea, accompanied by the roar of a dragon. "Okay, okay! We are old friends, let's practice today. If you don't move, my bones will fall apart! But, have you decided to fight here?"

At this moment, what appeared before everyone's eyes was a vertical sea.

"Old Dragon! I have a question."

The voice of Master Chengchu sounded and drifted far away into the sea.

"Just ask the real person."

The sea responded.

"Is Immortal Li of Zhentao Tower dead or alive?"

Zhenren Chengchu asked.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The old dragon in the sea laughed loudly, "Master, you are joking. Master Zhentao is such a person, how can he talk about death so easily? Master Li is marrying his daughter today, and I asked someone to send a pot of Samsara Wine. This is a treasure left by the ancient heaven, and I am very reluctant to part with it. I will make sure that Master Li sleeps until dawn."

Chengchu Zhenren and the visitors from other families all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. It had been many years since the East China Sea had experienced waves. However, since Zhentao Tower was fine, they could still withstand a wave.

Those who were younger and at a lower realm might not understand why Master Chengchu suddenly asked this, but those who had rushed over were all above the third realm and naturally knew the significance of Zhentao Tower to the land of China.

There is a saying that goes like this:
First there was Zhentao Tower, then there was Baiyujing.

This means that Zhentao Tower already existed before Baiyujing was established. Of the twelve towers in the five cities of Baiyujing, actually only eleven were built. It’s just that Zhentao Tower has always been in the sky, above the East China Sea. It was Baiyujing who insisted on calling it one of the twelve towers in the five cities. Baiyujing doesn’t really care about that.

There is another sentence that says:
The solitary tower suppressed the waves for three thousand years, and only then were there reports of dragons and tigers emerging from the mountains.

This means that the Zhentao Tower was isolated overseas and had suppressed the waves for three thousand years before the Patriarch Tianshi went to Mount Longhu to refine the elixir.

People today don’t know when Zhentao Tower appeared. It seems that there has been such a tall building on the East China Sea since ancient times. The Li family in the building have been immortals for generations, and no one knows its origins.

Zhentao Tower never interferes in the disputes between good and evil, but there is one thing: whenever the evil dragon or sea monster is about to create waves to attack the land, Zhentao Tower will issue a warning to the Shenzhou Continent in advance, but it will not take any other measures.

However, the only things that could cause harm to the Shenzhou mainland were the huge waves that rose from the deep sea and pushed all the way to the shore. The waves that rose near the coast did not pose much of a threat. Therefore, every time they received a warning from the Zhentao Tower, the righteous on land could prepare in advance or take the initiative to destroy the waves at sea.

Throughout tens of thousands of years of history, countless sea monsters and dragons have wanted to destroy the Zhentao Tower, but none of them have succeeded.

It is said that there is a bow and arrow enshrined in the Zhentao Tower, which is stained with the blood of real dragons.

People don't know why Zhentao Tower, which has been living overseas, did this, but this is indeed a fundamental reason why the overseas evil cults have not been able to pose a huge threat to the Shenzhou mainland.

But Master Zhentao is still a human being after all, and he also has times when he is distracted. Such times can be counted on one’s ten fingers in ten thousand years.

Today should be the first time in nearly five hundred years.

"Old Dragon, is the Mirage Mother here today?"

"It's so lively, she must be here."

Master Chengchu nodded and said, "Let's stop the waves. I'll save the three corpses and one life. When the waves die down, we'll go to the sea to fight with you and the Mirage Mother and reminisce about the past."

"Haha, easy to say, easy to say!"
