Chapter 466: Too Arrogant, Help Him
"This 'Huangting Sutra' integrates the three methods and forms its own school? Practicing both the body and the soul and concentrating the mind to illuminate me, is it really possible?" Staring at Yan Wushuang in the Tongjian, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor frowned, as if doubting the truth of this statement.
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Yan Wushuang seemed a little unconvinced and said, "I can even memorize the technique, how can it be fake?"
After hearing this, Sect Leader Yan sneered, "You, an outsider, can know this technique, can it be real?"
The tone of these words not only underestimates Yan Wushuang, but also shows that he does not believe in Zheng Fa's breadth of mind and magnanimity.
Yan Wushuang's face immediately turned red: "Do you think Zheng Fa lied to me? Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Correct."
"...What about the senior sister? She was also present. She has made a lot of contributions to this technique!"
After hearing this, Sect Leader Yan and Nine Nether Demon Ancestor looked at each other and were both speechless.
In terms of combat power, Xie Qingxue may not be as good as Sect Leader Yan, but because the Tianhe method only reaches the fusion level, there is no essential difference between the two.
Yan Wushuang is easy to deceive, but Xie Qingxue is not someone who would easily listen to others.
"What did your senior sister say?"
"The eldest sister said that this sutra contains all the Dharmas. The five sects' skills will all be considered heterodox in the future and not worth mentioning!"
"..."
This was too lofty a statement, and he even cursed the Tianhe School's martial arts.
Sect Leader Yan looked at Jiuyou Demon Ancestor, and saw that Jiuyou Demon Ancestor had a complicated expression, as if he had thought of something. He turned around and asked Yan Wushuang: "Can your senior sister practice the Huangting Sutra?"
Hearing this, Yan Wushuang touched the back of his head, seeming a little uncertain: "It should be possible. I saw that the senior sister was very happy and said that Tianhe Law finally saw the way forward."
As soon as he said this, Sect Leader Yan's expression became excited: "Can this Huangting Sutra inherit the Qingping Sword Art?"
"Ok!"
The expression of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor became more and more dazed, but he heard Yan Wushuang say bluntly: "Dad, don't ask me anymore. I can't possibly tell you this technique."
"..."
"What's more, the Demon Ancestor is here."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor looked coldly at Yan Wushuang in the Tongjian, and saw that he had a look of firm defense. He didn't say anything, but remained silent.
Sect Leader Yan glanced at him secretly, as if he was afraid that his son's quick words would anger the Demon Ancestor, so he changed the subject:
"Okay, I will believe that your Huangting Sutra is real. With your knowledge, can you contribute to this sutra?"
Seeing that his father didn't believe him, Yan Wushuang got angry again:
"Zheng Fadu said that I have made a great contribution to the Huangting Sutra and he wants to remember my good deeds! Not only that, he will also hold regular Huangting Dharma Meetings in the future and let me participate in the discussion and perfect this practice!"
At this point, he looked at Sect Leader Yan with some anger in his eyes: "Zheng Fa trusts me more than you do!"
After saying this, Yan Wushuang's face quickly disappeared from Tongjian, as if he didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Sect Leader Yan was stunned for a long while before he slowly came back to his senses and looked towards the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor in the hall.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor was still silent at this time, as if he was thinking about something, and his face showed no emotion.
Sect Leader Yan thought about the subtle offense in Yan Wushuang's words, and his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly said, "The boy is ignorant and is still on guard against you, Demon Ancestor. How could he know that Demon Ancestor has seen countless magical skills and secrets since the Shinto era."
“Zheng Fa is only at the Nascent Soul stage. No matter how wonderful the Huangting Sutra he created is, the Demon Ancestor would not even bother to pay any attention to it…”
"Who said I disdain you?" Nine Nether Demon Ancestor looked at him with a surprised look in his eyes, "Didn't I wait to hear it just now?"
Sect Leader Yan swallowed his saliva and said dryly, "Mozu, do you also think that this technique is real?"
"You don't trust your son?"
"Not really. It's just that Zheng Fa could create this kind of technique? It's really unbelievable."
"According to your son, Zheng Fa is only researching the Huangting Sutra at the level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Nothing is impossible." The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor raised his eyes and looked outside the hall. "Besides, I have heard of similar ideas."
"Have you heard of it?"
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor looked at the clouds in the sky and sighed, "Tianhe, he also thought about integrating the three methods and taking the next step. For this reason, he destroyed mountains and temples and collected the skills in the world."
Sect Leader Yan's expression became more and more shaken. He asked, "Did the Grandmaster succeed?"
“I don’t know.” Nine Nether Demon Ancestor turned his head and looked at Sect Leader Yan, “Neither he nor I know the other’s fundamental skills.”
Sect Leader Yan nodded slightly, completely understanding.
When Xuanwei monks communicate with each other, they will not show their most fundamental skills to monks from other sects.
“But I think there shouldn’t be, otherwise Xuan Wei today wouldn’t be like this.”
"What the Demon Ancestor said is indeed right."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor added: "Compared to Zheng Fa, Tianhe... is too arrogant."
Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Yan understood what Nine Nether Demon Ancestor meant:
The master's talent was in no way inferior to anyone else's, but even at the Nascent Soul stage, he could never integrate the three methods, and he might not even have done so in his entire life.
If there is anything that the Patriarch is inferior to Zheng Fa in, perhaps only the evaluation of the old acquaintance Jiuyou Demon Patriarch is convincing.
“He always thought he could do it alone.”
Sect Leader Yan fell silent. To be honest, cultivators always believed in themselves, so it was not surprising that the founder was like this.
Jiuyou Demon Ancestor said: "I have never seen the Huangting Sutra, so I cannot fully judge whether it will succeed or not. But this starting point may be more correct than mine and Tianhe's."
"Your son is really lucky to have entered the Nine Mountains Realm."
After hearing this, Sect Leader Yan fell into deep thought, his expression hesitant but gradually becoming resolute.
……
Zheng Fa was also talking about Master Yan at this time.
"If you want to perfect the Huangting Sutra, you must go into seclusion." Zheng Fa frowned, "Even if it's not a seclusion that lasts for decades, you can't come out of it every two months."
Senior Sister Zhang and Old Man Yuan were sitting in the room, also looking at the "Huangting Sutra" on the table with distressed expressions.
Senior Sister Zhang nodded and said, "It will take at least half a year to complete a Spirit Transformation Experiment... No, this Huangting Sutra is complicated, I'm afraid half a year may not be enough, we need more time, how long the retreat will take is uncertain."
The so-called experiment of incarnation of spirit was actually Zheng Fa's attempt to incarnate spirit according to the "Huangting Sutra".
It would be best if it happens naturally.
If it fails, it will have a huge impact on ordinary cultivators - at the very least, their cultivation will drop, and at worst, their foundation will be severely damaged.
But for Zheng Fa, with the Great Sun True Fire cleansing his points and the Nine Mountains Patriarch charging him, these two were not big problems.
The biggest problem is:
Constructing the Yang Shen or Dharmakaya is extremely complicated.
However, Zheng's method combines three methods into one, and the complexity of "Huangting Jing" far exceeds other methods of spiritual transformation.
Therefore, an experiment takes a very long time.
The process of spiritual transformation cannot be interrupted, so he naturally cannot come out.
This meant that if he wanted to conduct the God Transformation experiment, he would not be able to go to Chongxuan Sect once every two months.
"There are two ways." Senior Sister Zhang said softly, "First, I will transform into Li Hao and go for you."
The old man nodded, seeming to agree that this was a solution.
Senior Sister Zhang also practiced "Tian Gang Di Sha Transformation". Her method of transformation may not be as good as Zheng's, but it is not difficult for her to transform into Li Hao.
If he let Senior Sister Zhang take charge of the Heaven and Earth God Array for him, he would naturally feel at ease.
"The problem is the Immortal Sword." Zheng Fa thought for a while and said distressedly, "This Immortal Sword can enter my sea of consciousness, and it is extremely distrustful of cultivators. If you, Senior Sister, go, she might find out. I'm afraid she will have other thoughts and cause trouble."
Senior Sister Zhang frowned.
Xianxian Sword Spirit is not always submissive - this kind of psychopath often goes crazy.
Zheng Fa is now on the Shenhuoshan Mountain. In addition to Shi Nandang's request, the more important thing is to subdue the Xianjian.
"More importantly, I am now at the most critical moment of refining the Xianjian Sword. I must control the Heaven and Earth God Array to avoid any problems in the refining at the last moment."
Senior Sister Zhang was shocked: "The Xianjian Sword is almost refined?"
"Well, with the cooperation of Xianjian Spirit, the progress is very fast."
The Xianjian Spirit did not resist being refined, which made the progress of the Heaven and Earth God Array very fast:
Previously, Hao Rishan planned to use twenty years, but now, in less than ten years, the formation is about to be connected with the Xianjian.
For this reason, Shi Nandang was extremely happy.
Not only him, the three Nascent Souls and seven Incarnations on the top of the Shenhuo Mountain were all working harder and harder, and their energy was getting higher and higher as they worked.
Therefore, although it might be feasible for Senior Sister Zhang to replace Zheng Fa at ordinary times, it is extremely risky during this period.
From Xianjian's perspective, we had previously agreed to surrender to this old monster Zheng Fa.
So you changed people?
When I surrendered, I didn't say that I had to kneel down no matter who came!
You can imagine how the Xianjian Sword Spirit would react.
Senior Sister Zhang understood Zheng Fa's concerns and thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't find a solution.
Zheng Fa added: "In fact, I have thought about this before. After taming Xianjian, if we can withstand the revenge of Haori Mountain, then my Jiushan Sect will have a long period of stability. At that time, I will be able to retreat without any worries."
As soon as Zheng Fa said this, the two of them immediately understood:
One punch is enough to prevent a hundred punches. With the Xianjian Sword, the Jiushan Sect is equivalent to having one more real immortal. If they can repel Haori Mountain, others may not want to provoke them.
In the future, I won’t have to worry about gains and losses like I do now, and even be hesitant about going into seclusion.
The problem is, there are three Dao fruits in Haori Mountain, and even Zheng Fa with the Xianjian Sword might not be able to withstand it.
By then, you won’t even be able to escape safely, so how can you retreat peacefully?
"So, the problem now is not to practice the Huangting Sutra, but how to deal with Haori Mountain after refining the Xianjian Sword?"
The old man also understood.
Practicing the "Huangting Sutra" is important, but the matter of the immortal sword is the real trouble.
"Of course, I can also let Xianjian pretend to resist and wait for another ten years... But it will still delay the progress of Huangting Sutra, and it will be difficult for me to retreat peacefully during these ten years - if Haori Mountain has other tricks, I have to react as soon as possible."
After all, the Jiushan Sect was too passive.
If Hao Rishan attacked Zheng Fa again while he was in seclusion, he would be finished if he couldn't react in time.
Senior Sister Zhang and Old Man Yuan looked at each other. After a while, Old Man Yuan looked a little guilty: "This Jiushan Sect can't do without you. In the final analysis, it's our incompetence."
This is true.
Apart from anything else, if Zheng Fa was in seclusion, even if Senior Sister Zhang could briefly control the Sun and Moon Bells, she would not be able to escape quickly with the Nine Mountains Realm.
A powerful enemy has arrived, and the entire Nine Mountains Realm is in danger.
By now, even Zheng Fa had to admit that although Jiushan Sect was a help to him - without the joint efforts of the cultivators of Jiushan Sect, the "Huangting Sutra" would never have been produced so quickly - but on the other hand, Jiushan Sect also made him too busy to cope with all the tasks.
Now it is not possible to retreat into seclusion, nor is it possible to subdue the Xianjian. I am in a dilemma.
"Senior Sister, can you deduce for me how Hao Ri Mountain will retaliate if I capture Xian Jian in advance? What are our chances of winning?"
Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Zhang took out her flying fairy brush and drew the Xiantian Bagua diagram in the air.
“…I can’t figure it out.”
Senior Sister Zhang’s face turned pale and she said dejectedly.
This is understandable; the problem is too complicated.
After all, Hao Rishan is too powerful, and Senior Sister Zhang is only at the stage of transformation into a spirit. No matter how magical the innate Bagua is, it is difficult to calculate the other party's reaction.
Zheng Fa thought for a while, and then said, "Senior Sister, can you calculate, if I hold a True Immortal magic weapon and face two True Immortals, what is my chance of survival?"
This problem is much simpler than before.
Especially if the innate Bagua has data corresponding to the strength of a true immortal, it would not be too difficult to deduce.
Senior Sister Zhang calculated it again, her expression becoming paler, but she didn't say anything.
Zheng Fa understood:
I couldn’t figure it out last time.
This time, I figured it out, but I don’t want to say it out loud.
But the two True Immortals have already tried their best to underestimate Hao Rishan. The other side should have two True Immortals and one Loose Immortal.
Senior Sister Zhang pointed at the Bagua diagram in front of her and quickly calculated:
"If you were to face a True Immortal, your chances of winning would be no more than 20%, but your risk of losing your life would also be no more than 10%. "
"If you are at the level of a Spiritual Transformation cultivator and you were to fight two True Immortals at the same time, the chances of you dying... would be as high as 80%."
"if……"
Senior Sister Zhang spared no effort in calculating seven or eight possibilities, and finally came to a desperate realization - if the Jiushan Sect relied on its own, even if Zheng Fa quickly achieved the state of incarnation, he would not be able to contend with more than one True Immortal.
"That is to say, even if I hold the Immortal-Trapping Sword, I can only protect myself when facing a True Immortal. If there is more than one True Immortal... even with my three magical powers, I will most likely die?"
"Even if I become a god, it will be difficult to have a qualitative change?"
Senior Sister Zhang nodded and continued, "But the deduction is only a possibility. It can't be said to be completely accurate. We don't even know the power of the Immortal Sword."
These words were mostly consolation.
As an innate magical power, the Xiantian Bagua is not 100% accurate, but it is not extremely wrong either.
Based on Senior Sister Zhang’s understanding of him, Xiantian Bagua’s assessment of his own strength would probably not be too wrong.
“That is to say, even if we wait for ten years, even if I become a god, my Jiushan Sect still doesn’t have much chance of winning against Haori Mountain…” Zheng Fa frowned.
Senior Sister Zhang stopped talking, but her silence was the answer.
The old man was listening on the side, with a look of despair on his face.
Zheng Fa pondered for a long time, and then said: "Senior Sister Zhang, can you calculate when the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor and Sect Leader Yan will launch the attack?"
The two of them were cheered up and understood Zheng Fa's idea.
The Xiantian Bagua moved slightly, and Senior Sister Zhang's face turned pale and blood spurted out of her mouth.
The Bagua diagram in the air suddenly exploded and dissipated into tiny points of light.
"Sister?"
"It's impossible to calculate. I calculated Hao Ri Mountain, but I just couldn't get the result." Senior Sister Zhang wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled bitterly, "But once I started to calculate these two people, the Xiantian Bagua directly backfired..."
Zheng Fa didn't say anything. He held Senior Sister Zhang's wrist and probed her body with his spiritual power. Seeing that she was not seriously injured, just that her spiritual power was depleted and her spirit was weak, he felt relieved.
"It seems that the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor is stronger than we thought."
Upon hearing this, the old man also echoed: "I'm afraid he is stronger than the average True Immortal."
This is easy to understand. There was no such a big reaction when Senior Sister Zhang deduced Haori Mountain, but she immediately suffered a backlash when she deduced Jiuyou Demon Ancestor. Naturally, it was because Jiuyou Demon Ancestor was stronger.
"I was thinking that if we could figure out what the Nine Nether Demon Ancestors and the others were planning, we could take advantage of the situation..."
Zheng Fa sighed.
Since the Jiushan Sect can't handle it, let Sect Leader Yan and the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor do it.
The fact that the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor was so powerful was naturally a good thing for him - the two of them were an unspoken alliance.
But there is also a big problem:
"Master Yan, it seems that he wants to use us as a scapegoat..." The old man frowned and said, "Now that the gap between the strong and the weak is huge, won't we just be bullied by others?"
Zheng Fa felt heavy in his heart when he heard this.
That's true. The gap in strength between the two sides is so huge that it is difficult for them to get along equally. What's more, they are both thinking about harming each other.
Just when several people were in distress, a spiritual message suddenly came from the Jade Book of Creation.
"what happened?"
Seeing Zheng Fa's strange expression, Senior Sister Zhang and Old Man Yuan asked.
"The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor sent a letter saying that Sect Leader Yan has decided to take action in three months. By then, Haori Mountain will definitely make a different arrangement with the Xianjian..."
"If we can get the Xianjian Sword, we will seize the opportunity."
"If not, the Xianjian Sword will be used to deal with the Tianhe Sect and will not be able to threaten us."
The old man widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Is this... so good?"
Zheng Fa was also puzzled. This Sect Leader Yan was like a demining soldier who had cleared all the mines.
Is he so willing to give?
……
"Have you made up your mind?"
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor looked at Sect Leader Yan with some surprise in his tone.
"Think about it."
"I didn't know...you had such a selfless heart."
Sect Leader Yan stood at the entrance of the Sect Leader Hall, without turning back, and just said:
"Once the battle formation is released, the four sects will probably besiege our Tianhe Sect." Sect Master Yan said softly, "What's the use of having one more Jiushan Sect or one less Jiushan Sect?"
"Before I said I would wait for Zheng Fa to take action, it was just an excuse because I was undecided and afraid of death."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor smiled and said, "Are you not afraid of death now?"
"When Wushuang was born, I had already practiced the Zhuxian Sword Canon. Although I still had consciousness, I was no longer able to control myself."
"..."
"His mother seemed to have discovered something. One day she entered the Sword Pavilion and never came out again."
"When I went in to look for it later, all I found was a suicide note asking me to take good care of Wushuang."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor just listened and said nothing.
"…I was afraid that he would stay inside the gate, and I was also afraid that he would go to look for the cause of his mother's death. So I just let him run around. I think it's not bad for him to be a little stupid."
"After all, his mother died because of me, so it's reasonable for him to be angry with me as his father."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor looked at Sect Leader Yan and asked, "So you want to help Zheng Fa?"
Sect Leader Yan smiled and said, "He can even learn the Huangting Sutra. I have lived up to his mother's trust. There is nothing to worry about."
