Chapter 514: Xizhou Buddha Light, Tianhe Backhand
Chapter 514: Xizhou Buddha Light, Tianhe Backhand
Zheng Fa looked at the Book of Life and Death for a long time, and then set his gaze on the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
Now he almost understood the purpose of this Demon Ancestor.
On the surface of the Book of Life and Death, black and white mysterious light lingers, and a faint and clear glow is sprinkled.
The white fog around was getting thicker and thicker, rushing in all directions.
New land seemed to emerge from the fog.
Zheng Fa had a feeling that the area of the underworld was expanding.
"He is refining treasures!" Inside the light curtain, the embarrassed Nishang Yuanjun shouted, "This is the incense and fire god way!"
The expression on Li Sanxian's face beside her suddenly changed: "Incense and fire? Where does the incense come from?"
Nishang Yuanjun also shook her head.
Although she had Tongjian, she couldn't watch the live broadcast.
In Tianhe Sect, the only person who knows the details, apart from the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, is probably Zheng Fa.
Jiuyou created such a big drama.
In addition to revenge, it is also for refining treasures - using the power of incense attracted by Tongjian to refine treasures.
There are only tens of thousands of monks who hold the Tongjian, but their strength is extraordinary:
Except for the disciples of Jiushan Sect, those who can afford Tongjian are at least Jindan.
More importantly, a comprehensive record can be viewed by multiple people.
Therefore, the number of viewers affected is probably far higher than the number of viewers of Tongjian itself.
……
"Can this also be worshipped?" Xie Qingxue was a little stunned.
She didn't doubt Nishang Yuanjun, after all, she was a professional.
I just didn’t expect that the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor would play it this way.
The Emperor thought about it and nodded, "The essence of incense is the word faith."
He practiced the way of incense and fire, and had a deep understanding of it.
"In the past, we only thought that the power of incense came from mortals' belief in gods."
"But from what I've observed, the reason why the students at Jiushan University admire me is not because they admire God, but more because they admire their mentor."
Senior Sister Zhang understood: "This is how the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor is."
"In one live broadcast, he manipulated the four sects at will." The Emperor nodded, "His strength and his philosophy are enough to convince and awed the cultivators."
"In fact, when Nine Nether Demon Ancestor was looking for the truth about the Tianhe Rebellion, he might have been seeking recognition."
A live broadcast.
It is difficult for cultivators not to feel sympathy for, or even faith in, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
These emotions, in the form of incense, are fed back into the Book of Life and Death.
"In fact, I have been wondering why the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, who is so powerful, used the Immortal Execution Sword Formation to lure the four sects instead of attacking them directly." The Emperor of Heaven said, "Before, I thought that the four sects had their own trump cards and that the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor was cautious."
"Now it seems that the Book of Life and Death may also have limitations."
Senior Sister Zhang also thought it made sense and was about to speak again when Tongjian suddenly trembled.
She looked down and frowned.
"Has Xizhou changed?"
……
The person who brought the message to Senior Sister Zhang was Sun Daoyu.
He had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage earlier. During this period, he was sent to the sea area to maintain the trade routes and was stationed on Hongsha Island.
This island is the node closest to Xizhou on the sea trade route and is of vital importance. It is not only responsible for dealing with the people of Yaochi, but also for collecting intelligence on Xizhou.
Sun Daoyu enjoyed great prestige among the disciples of Jiushan, and he also inherited some of his uncle Pang's abilities, which was why he was given such an important task.
He thought it was okay:
With the information about Lord Shuyu Dragon, there is not much danger.
But after leaving the Nine Mountains Realm and being in the vast ocean, life became dull and boring.
Fortunately, I can watch the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor torment the four sects.
Sun Daoyu was watching the live broadcast with great interest.
The more unlucky the disciples from the four sects in the live broadcast were, the higher the arc of his mouth turned.
Just when he was getting excited, a disciple suddenly ran to the gate of the courtyard and shouted:
"Senior Brother Sun! Senior Brother Sun!"
He quickly put the Tongjian into his sleeve, and with a serious expression, he asked, "Why are you so panicked?"
"Xizhou...Xizhou Leiyin Temple..."
"Leiyin Temple?" Sun Daoyu saw that the disciple was out of breath and realized that something was wrong. He flew out of the yard and looked in the direction of Xizhou. He suddenly felt like he was going blind:
Looking from Hongsha Island, most of the coastline is sparkling with magnificent and dazzling seven-colored Buddha light.
Behind the Buddha's light, there was a continuous stream of praises.
Even though he was hundreds of miles away, he could still smell a faint scent of sandalwood.
Although he didn't understand what this vision meant, he knew that something big had happened, so he quickly sent a message towards the door.
……
After reading Sun Daoyu's message, Senior Sister Zhang picked up the Tongjian, thought for a moment, and asked the Shuyu Dragon Lord, "Dragon Lord, there has been a change in Xizhou, do you have any clues?"
The Jade Dragon Lord seemed to have noticed this incident and responded very quickly:
"I saw it too."
"I don't know why."
"But I think it has something to do with the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor?
Senior Sister Zhang immediately turned around and looked at the light curtain in the hall.
Sure enough, the situation in Tianhe Sect has changed again:
The old monk Zhitong sat cross-legged on the ground with his hands clasped together, and a Buddha appeared behind him.
But the Buddha's facial features were completely different from before, as if he had become another person.
The compassion in the Buddha's eyes disappeared, replaced by self-centeredness.
The sounds of thousands of families in Xizhou chanting Buddha's name rang out.
The thousands of dead souls in the City of the Dead were affected by the chanting of Buddha, and gradually their faces showed calmness and joy.
In just half an incense stick.
The underworld, which had been dark and cold just now, suddenly became peaceful.
The only discordant thing was the roar of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor:
"Lu Yao!"
Zheng Fa was startled and took a closer look at the Buddha's face, feeling that he could not look at it directly.
How did Lu Yao get into Tianhe Sect?
What is he going to do?
……
Lu Yao smiled and looked towards the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, as if greeting an acquaintance:
"Donor Jiuyou, how are you?"
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor hated him to begin with, and upon hearing this he simply sneered, "There is no door to the underworld, so you came here on your own! If you were hiding in the Leiyin Temple, it would take me a lot of effort to kill you."
Zheng Fa frowned.
He could see that although the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor spoke in a firm tone, his eyes were full of surprise and suspicion.
Obviously, Lu Yao's appearance was beyond his expectations.
Lu Yao seemed to be much more confident than him.
He did not answer the words of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, but looked at the Book of Life and Death in the void, his eyes full of joy.
"Donor Jiuyou, I have finally waited for this Book of Life and Death."
"wait?"
The expression of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor changed slightly.
"Although the Tribulation Reincarnation Sacred Method can achieve Taiyi." Lu Yao smiled and answered patiently, "But what I want is never just Taiyi."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor understood.
"You want the Book of Life and Death to perfect the method of turning disasters?"
"Donor Jiuyou, you are indeed very smart."
Lu Yao praised with a smile.
But looking at the expression of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, it was obvious that he did not think this was a compliment.
Zheng Fa was also a little surprised.
He didn't expect that Lu Yao was actually plotting the Book of Life and Death.
But where does he get his confidence from?
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor remained silent, but his clothes were fluttering. It was obvious that he was not as calm as he appeared.
The Zhu Xian formation slowly rose from behind the Yin Mountain, emitting thousands of sword beams.
On the Book of Life and Death, mysterious black and white light flickered.
"During the Tianhe Rebellion, what you wanted was the Book of Life and Death?"
He asked slowly.
Lu Yao laughed and did not deny it: "It's a pity that the Tianhe Master gave the Immortal Execution Formation Diagram to you, the donor."
Nine Nether Demon Ancestor's eyes flashed with astonishment, and then turned into sudden realization: "So, he did it for..."
His voice gradually became low and inaudible, but his eyes became brighter.
Zheng Fa knew what the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor had not finished saying:
Venerable Tianhe left the Zhuxian Formation diagram to Jiuyou Demon Ancestor in order to protect this fellow Taoist.
Speaking of which, the tragic fate of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor seemed to have a lot to do with the Zhu Xian Formation Diagram.
From the perspective of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, it is hard not to have doubts:
You, Venerable Tianhe, know that there is something wrong with the Tianhe Sect and that it is a big pit. Why do you leave this big pit to me?
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor's own explanation is:
No one can be trusted by Venerable Tianhe, so I hope he can inherit his legacy.
But Lu Yao's desire for the Book of Life and Death gave Zheng Fa another guess:
Regardless of whether Jiuyou Demon Ancestor is the successor of Tianhe Sect or not, Lu Yao will not let him go.
The Zhuxian Formation Diagram is actually a means to save the life of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor seemed to have thought of this possibility as well.
There was a complicated expression on his face, and it was unclear whether he was happy or sad.
"If you have already achieved the Golden Immortal Dao and entered my underworld, I would not be able to do anything to you." The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor slowly restrained the complicated expression on his face and said in a cold voice, "But you are only a True Immortal..."
Lu Yao laughed, lowered his eyes and looked at Zhitong.
A smile also appeared on Zhitong's face.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, muttering:
"How can one be free from the hell?"
"Take refuge in my Buddha and you will soon reach paradise."
Zhitong repeated these two sentences over and over again.
In the void, it seemed as if hundreds of millions of people were singing along with it.
The chanting of Buddha became louder and farther.
During this singing and dancing, Zhitong began to spontaneously combust.
Golden flames surged from the rotten soil on the ground, spreading from his legs to his entire body.
His skin and flesh were torn apart, revealing his bones, and he looked like a wick.
Ten thousand candlelights illuminate the eight directions.
The mud on the ground instantly turned into glass.
In the dead silent city, swaying trees rise from the ground, full of vitality.
The dark Yinshan Mountain became brighter and turned into a holy mountain made of seven treasures, shining brilliantly.
The pure white and clear spring water gurgles down from the foot of the mountain, making a pleasant sound.
An indescribable joy surged in Zheng Fa's soul.
"This is……"
He looked at Zhitong, feeling extremely surprised:
Zhitong's soul, spiritual power, and body all turned into fuel.
This endless hell was transformed into a lapis lazuli Buddha land.
He knew something was wrong, so he turned around and looked at the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor. Sure enough, half of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor's body was dark and pitch black, while the other half was shining with bright Buddha light.
It can be seen that he is being infected by the Buddha's light.
Zheng Fa naturally didn't know what method Lu Yao used, but he could roughly guess the principle.
In essence, this is very similar to Zheng Fa's control of the Qingping Sword.
The Tianhe method has both advantages and disadvantages.
The biggest advantage is that monks can obtain combat power far beyond that of ordinary people.
For example, Xie Qingxue, she is actually just a spirit transformation, but with the help of the Qingping Sword, she is almost invincible among the immortals.
But on the other hand, relying too much on the Qingping Sword meant that if Zheng Fa could control the Qingping Sword, it would influence her in turn.
It seems that the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor has not escaped this restriction.
The Book of Life and Death just evolved, and the underworld is also expanding. It can be imagined that the relationship between the underworld and the Book of Life and Death is like the Sun and Moon Clock and the Nine Mountains Realm, which are originally one.
Now the underworld will be transformed into a Buddhist land.
The Book of Life and Death seemed to be affected by Lu Yao as well.
Therefore, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor seemed to be restrained as well.
……
This sudden change left everyone in the Nine Mountains Realm stunned.
"Lu Yao is refining the Book of Life and Death?" The old man frowned and said, "This is not good..."
It’s really not good.
"Who would have thought that Lu Yao could make a Leiyin Temple True Immortal willing to die."
Everyone can see that the biggest reason why Lu Yao was able to achieve success was Zhitong’s sacrifice.
Lu Yao's cultivation in this life is only that of a true immortal, so he is still an outsider.
Leiyin Temple can actually spend such a huge amount of money.
Use the life accumulation of a true immortal to pave the way for Lu Yao.
Look at Tai Shang Dao again!
Xuan Ding, that stingy guy!
To be honest, Zheng Fa almost wanted to become a Buddha.
……
Senior Sister Zhang also had an unpleasant expression: "If Lu Yao could refine the Book of Life and Death, he might be able to directly attain the Golden Immortal."
"It's very likely..." The Emperor of Heaven agreed, "He didn't care about Luo Sanxian's death before, which shows that he is eager to achieve enlightenment."
"Now that he has come out into the world, I'm afraid he is here to attain the status of a Golden Immortal."
The old man stroked his beard and muttered, "Maybe there are more than just Golden Immortals."
These words plunged the Heavenly Palace into dead silence.
According to what Lu Yao said just now, it seems that even Taiyi looks down on his enlightenment this time.
But one Golden Immortal is enough to destroy the Nine Mountains Realm.
"I don't know if the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor can hold on."
Everyone looked at the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor in the light curtain, only to see him sitting cross-legged on the Yinshan Mountain, with the golden light and the black and white light on his body fighting against each other. You don't let me, and I don't let you.
It can be seen that he was also trying his best to resist Lu Yao's refining.
But everyone could see that the Buddha's light was gradually becoming more and more intense, as if it was about to overwhelm the original black and white light.
"Xizhou... Lu Yao can obtain the power of Xizhou's incense!" Senior Sister Zhang seemed to have remembered something and said in surprise, "Over time, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor will inevitably be defeated."
Everyone in the Heavenly Palace became more silent.
Everyone understood that Lu Yao's enlightenment was more successful than that of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, and he posed a greater threat to the Nine Mountains Realm.
"What should we do?" Uncle Pang asked anxiously, "Should we go attack Leiyin Temple?"
"..."
I have to say, when Master Pang gets aggressive, he's really scary.
But Senior Sister Zhang frowned and was actually thinking:
“We have no other choice but to do this. Even if the Supreme Daoist Yao Chi doesn’t help, my Nine Mountains Sect will put in all its strength, and with the help of Lord Shuyu Dragon, we may still be able to fight.”
As she spoke, she drew the innate eight trigrams in the air, and after a moment she shook her head: "There is great danger in Leiyin Temple."
The Emperor nodded and said:
"The four sects should all have some tricks up their sleeves."
"Besides, it's hard to say whether Lord Shuyu Dragon is willing to fight for us."
Uncle Pang's expression dimmed a little, and he couldn't help but murmured: "What should we do then?"
"Try to find the Tianhe treasure first."
"..."
"Tianhe Relic?" Senior Sister Zhang was stunned for a moment, "Is it useful?"
"I can only say there is hope." The Emperor of Heaven also had some hesitation in his expression. "If we can find the next step of Tianhe Law, maybe we can help Jiuyou Demon Ancestor escape the clutches of the Book of Life and Death."
Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly when she heard this: "We can only seek survival from death."
The Emperor of Heaven knew it both physically and mentally, so Senior Sister Zhang didn’t hold out much hope.
To put it bluntly, it is hard to say whether finding the things left behind by Tianhe can change the situation.
Many things are Zheng Fa's guesses.
But Senior Sister Zhang has always stood on his side and supported him almost unreasonably.
In fact, Zheng Fa needs to find the treasure, and he also has some plans that he cannot express for the time being:
The best outcome, of course, is that Reverend Tianhe has a backup plan and can fight against Lu Yao.
If not, Zheng Fa also wants to find out the origin of the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant - he wants to try to move the Nine Mountains Realm to the modern era to avoid Lu Yao's threat.
The worst result is that he and the Nine Mountains Realm cannot avoid it, so they have to find a way to cut off the connection between the Xuanwei Realm and the modern world.
At least we must preserve the modern world and retain the last hope.
He had actually prepared for the worst.
Uncle Pang asked a key question: "How do I find it?"
The Emperor of Heaven smiled and waved his hand, and a phantom of an immortal sword appeared in front of everyone.
"I observed many symbols in the sword formation before, and compared them with the symbols on the Xianjian Sword. I can see some of the secrets of the sword formation."
