Chapter 3: I am happy when I hear the battle, I am invincible!
The 'Tai Chi Circle' island chain that disappeared from everyone's sight and thoughts is of course still in place.
This defense is the external defense 'cloud cover' deployed by the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect'.
This formation uses the seventh-grade innate spiritual treasure [Yunwu Banner] as the core, and then supplements it with the later-day spiritual treasure [Xumi Brocade Cloud Pocket]. Finally, a super-large illusion is laid out, and the large and small illusions are reduced using the art of concealment of fake objects in the 'Dunjia Heavenly Book'.
Penglai is hidden between illusion and reality.
The seventh-grade innate spiritual treasure [Cloud and Mist Flag] takes the essence of the Nine Heavens Yuangang and the Nine Nether Earth Evils, and is tempered by the earth's lungs, weak water, fire essence, and strong wind. Once unfolded, it can turn into clouds and mist that cover the sky.
In this cloud and fog, all directions are upside down and it is impossible to locate the direction.
The five consciousnesses are confused. Three feet away, the eyes cannot see, the ears cannot hear, the nose cannot smell, the mouth cannot speak, and the body cannot touch.
Combined with the cloud urging technique of [Xumi Brocade Cloud Pocket], the power of this array can be expanded several times.
In addition to these two main internal and external defenses, there are countless defenses throughout the 'Tai Chi Circle', and attack sequence arrays are activated one by one.
Countless mechanical puppets were quickly constructed under the control of the disciples of the Southern Sect's 'Craftsmanship Department' to build these hundred-foot-tall 'Lightning Strike Platforms', 'Four-Phase Towers', and 'Ruyi Beehive Free Shuttles'.
Countless Nanzong disciples in white robes were busy but in an orderly manner under the command of elite disciples wearing exquisite forehead ornaments.
Arrays were deployed one after another, defense sequences were built, and the entire 'Tai Chi Circle' island chain turned into heavily guarded fortresses in the shortest possible time.
Numerous "Dharma Protector Gods" wander around, monitoring the non-sect practitioners who are trapped in foreign affairs offices in various places.
Since the war is coming, according to the suggestion of Lord Shiraishi, all outsiders should be expelled regardless of their realm.
However, Xu Qingzhi thought over and over again and just persuaded the True Lord Yuanshen outside the sect to leave, and a large number of True Lord Jindan and Xiantian realm practitioners were uniformly placed in the 'Foreign Affairs Stations' in various places in the 'Tai Chi Circle'.
With the current strength of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect', there is no need to worry about the trouble caused by these low-level practitioners with varying strengths.
These people were strictly prohibited from taking a step outside the 'Foreign Affairs Desk', otherwise they would be killed on the spot without asking for any reason!
At the outermost edge of the "Tai Chi Circle" island chain, 800 mountain boats and countless large ships anchored on the seaside in an orderly manner.
These countless ships were all stretched across the hull, with their sides facing the sea. Countless cannon muzzles protruded from the side strings. Countless disciples went back and forth between the ships, doing final inspections.
Three days later.
Xu Qingzhi, wearing a crane-feather cloak and holding the Three Treasures Ruyi, which symbolizes the authority of the head, walked out of the Lingxiao Palace accompanied by many Yuanshen True Monarchs.
Standing outside the stone steps of Lingxiao Hall, wherever you look, millions of Nanzong disciples in white robes stand solemnly all over Penglai Island, large and small, like tall and tall cedar trees.
Looking around, I saw that there was only a solemn white between the sky and the earth.
Among these millions of disciples, there are true disciples, elites, inner sects, and countless outer sect disciples.
Maybe they would have their own names in normal times, but at this moment, they only have one identity.
Disciple of the Southern Sect with Innate Yiqi!
Xu Qingzhi's heart was surging. He held up the Three Treasures Ruyi with his right hand and shouted loudly:
"Now the top-ranking sect in Qingzhou, the 'King Kong Sect', is marching across the state with a large army, vowing to destroy the sect and annihilate it.
Let me ask:
If a powerful enemy invades, how should our sect retreat?"
Countless Nanzong disciples raised their arms and right hands together and shouted:
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The shouts that gathered the murderous intent of millions of people directly broke through the sky.
In an instant, the wind and clouds in the sky and the earth changed, and the endless clouds gathered together to form an illusory Tai Chi pattern in the sky.
This picture does not symbolize Tai Chi, but the ‘Tai Chi Circle’ island chain below.
Xu Qingzhi looked at the white-robed disciples all over Penglai and shouted loudly:
"How can I say that I have no clothes, but I share the same robe with you? I repair my sword and spear, and I share the same enemy with you!"
How can I say that I have no clothes..."
As Xu Qingzhi's voice spread in all directions, countless white-robed disciples first responded loudly.
"How can I say that I have no clothes, but I share the same robe with you? I repair my sword and spear, and I share the same enemy with you!"
How can I say that I have no clothes, and I am in the same boat as my son, repairing my spear and halberd..."
Immediately afterwards, another 1.6 billion people also spontaneously chanted the war song that only belonged to the "Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect".
"How can I say that I have no clothes, but I share the same robe with you? I repair my sword and spear, and I share the same enemy with you!"
How can I say that I have no clothes, and I am in the same boat with you? I am repairing my spear and halberd, and I am working with you!
How can I say that I have no clothes, but I share the same clothes with you, repair my armor and soldiers, and walk with you!"
At this moment, countless people in the Southern Sect's territory remembered their memories that were passed down in books, murals, light curtains and word of mouth.
That was the scene when the Innate Qi Nan Sect came across the sea and faced the wind and rain, and established the foundation with great difficulty.
It was a process in which countless people worked together to build islands and build mountains and seas with the help of ordinary people.
It was a peaceful and prosperous era built by Penglai people from generation to generation and paid countless hardships and costs.
At this moment, countless people's hearts were filled with excitement, the hairs all over their bodies stood on end, and the boiling blood almost rushed out of their heads.
They gritted their teeth, shed tears, and clenched their trembling fists, hoping that an enemy would come near and fight with them at the risk of their lives.
Unyielding, hardworking and fearless!
The fighting spirit engraved in the bones of every Penglai person was once again inspired.
All the people on the 'Tai Chi Circle' island chain were resolutely chanting the 'Undressed War Hymn' and casting cold gazes to the east.
That is the direction from which the army of the top-ranking sect 'Vajra Sect' is about to arrive.
However, everyone who is a ninth-grade sect, the ‘Xiantian Yiqi South Sect’, has eyes full of desire, looking forward to the arrival of the enemy.
I am happy when I hear the battle, I am invincible!
...
Northwest of Dingzhou.
Innate Qi Sect.
Ziwei Hall in Danxia Mountain.
A tense and serious atmosphere filled the hall.
True Lord Mingxiao Mingxiao sat on the throne and looked at the palace with a gloomy expression.
At this moment, there are not only Zhenjun Chongxiao and other disciples in the palace, but also three Taoist practitioners wearing water and fire Taoist robes.
These three people are not just anyone else, but the three True Lords of Yuanshen, Chang Jun, Dan Shu, and Jiu Kui of the top-grade sect in Dingzhou, the ‘Bajing Palace’.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These three people came a month ago, and their purpose is to prevent the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’ from sending troops to Laizhou to support the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’.
True Lord Changjun has an elegant appearance, an agile mind, and a quick tongue. He is best at combining vertical and horizontal lines.
The numerous Yuanshen Lords of the Xiantian Yiqi Sect that he had previously argued with his own strength were unable to speak. This was the time when his mind was at ease.
He turned his eyes and glanced at the face of the ashen-faced Zhenjun Chongxiao, and said with a smile:
"Everyone, now the 'Xiantian Yiqi Nan Sect' has become a rat crossing the street, and everyone is shouting to beat it.
Without the tacit approval of many high-ranking sects, how could the 'King Kong Sect' lead an army into the Laizhou Sea.
What's more, at this moment, there is no telling how many people are secretly waiting for the 'King Kong Sect' to destroy the mountain gate and prepare to plunder.
The ‘Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong’ is now like a big ship riddled with holes and may sink at any time.
I admire your determination to fight to the death, thinking of the friendship between you and your family.
However, those who know the current affairs are heroes, so why should you dirty your clothes for those traitors..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lord Yuegui, who was sitting opposite, raised his hand and waved.
A blazing blue light penetrated towards True Lord Changjun like lightning.
Its speed was as fast as lightning. Even though Zhenjun Changjun, who was very close at hand, was prepared, he was hit by this lightning before he could react at all.
"Boom--!"
At this moment, there was an explosion of thunder in the hall.
The moment the blue thunder light approached, a circle of purple light suddenly bloomed from Zhenjun Changjun's body, blocking the thunder light.
Then the purple aperture disintegrated and the lightning dispersed.
Drops of cold sweat broke out on the head of Zhenjun Changjun. At that moment, he clearly felt that the God of Death was waving at him.
The left hand slowly opened, and a purple jade pendant turned into fly ash and disappeared in the wind.
After calming down, Zhenjun Changjun stopped the two junior brothers beside him from shouting angrily, and said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Yuegui actually attacked me in public. Could it be that the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect' also wanted to learn from the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' and prepare to declare war on the 'Bajing Palace'?
If this is the case, please feel free to take action.
When we fall, one hundred thousand of our sect members outside the mountain gate will seek justice for us!"
True Monarch Yuegui has a gentle temperament. Although his temperament has changed after practicing the 'Tianxin Five Thunder Zhengfa', he is still the gentlest elder in the eyes of many disciples.
But at this moment, even she was angered by Zhenjun Changjun's shameless words. She reached out and slapped the table, stood up and shouted angrily:
"Just fight, if you really think we don't dare to fight to the death..."
Before he could finish speaking, Headmaster Mingxiao's somewhat helpless voice reached his ears.
"Junior Sister Yuegui, be careful what you say!"
True Monarch Yuegui's expression froze, and he turned his head slightly to look at Master Mingxiao. After a moment of silence, he slowly sat down.
As early as thirty years ago, after receiving the news that the 'Vajra Sect' intended to attack the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect', the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect' began to prepare to support the 'Southern Sect'.
After some discussion, the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’ decided to send twenty-one Yuanshen True Lords and Qianjindan True Lords to support.
This is already 60% of the strength of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’.
In the past few hundred years, the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect' has developed rapidly with the help of the 'Southern Sect'. Now there are thirty-eight True Lords of Yuanshen in the sect, and the number of True Lord Jindan is close to two thousand.
Hearing that the Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect was about to be attacked, the Xiantian Yiqi Sect did not dare to neglect it. Over the past thirty years, they had been preparing their troops to help in the battle.
A month ago, after learning through the 'Sound Transmission Bell' that the 'Vajra Sect' was moving out in a large scale, True Lord Mingxiao immediately ordered True Lord Chongxiao to lead his disciples to prepare to go out.
But before they could leave the mountain gate, they were blocked back by Zhenjun Changjun of the Eight Views Palace and three other people.
These three people did not come here alone. Outside the sphere of influence of the "Xiantian Yiqi Sect", the "Bajing Palace" dispatched twenty "Tianhe Warships" and one hundred thousand disciples Chen Bing "Luofengpo".
Block the path of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’ to the South China Sea in Laizhou.
The statement given by Zhenjun Changjun on the surface is that the formation has not been rehearsed in the ‘Bajing Palace’ for many years, and this time a three-year rehearsal will be carried out in ‘Luofengpo’.
During this period, no one is allowed to pass through this road.
How could the meaning of the ‘Eight Scenery Palace’ be hidden from the people of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’?
Immediately, True Lord Chongxiao started a fierce argument with True Lord Changjun in the Ziwei Palace.
This is actually a very funny thing.
True Lord Changjun uses the power of his sect to suppress others, so even if True Lord Chongxiao talks about breaking the sky, he can only shut up in anger.
After a month of fighting, Lord Yue Gui finally lost his patience, and then he took action to hurt others.
After an awkward silence.
The headmaster, True Lord Mingxiao, looked at True Lord Changjun and said slowly:
"So it seems that the 'Bajing Palace' is determined to prevent our sect from supporting our branch 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect'?"
True Lord Changjun's expression changed slightly, and he understood the meaning behind True Lord Mingxiao's words.
‘Xiantian Yiqi Nan Sect’ is a branch of ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’.
The behavior of ‘Bajing Palace’ in this way can easily make other sects in Dingzhou feel jealous, and will greatly affect the reputation of ‘Bajing Palace’ in Dingzhou.
But since Mingxiao Zhenjun, as the headmaster of a middle-grade sect, openly asked this question, if he tried to prevaricate, I'm afraid it would be counterproductive.
True Lord Changjun took a deep breath and said seriously:
"Headmaster Mingxiao, as the envoy of the "Bajing Palace" in Dingzhou, I now request the "Xiantian Yiqi Sect" of the sixth-grade sect in Dingzhou to seal off the inside and outside, and not to step out of the place where it belongs within three years.
Otherwise, our sect will think that the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’ refuses to obey our management, and we will send the sect’s army to formally attack!”
After saying this, Zhenjun Changjun added again:
"This is what our herb-collecting Taoist said personally, and it has also been approved by Shui Lian and Chonghe Taoist."
The noise that had not yet been born in the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’ was swallowed into his stomach.
The "Bajing Palace" issued an order based on the order of the sect. As long as the "Xiantian Yiqi Sect" is still in Dingzhou, they will never dare to resist.
After a long time, Zhenjun Mingxiao let out a long sigh.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Alas~~~!"
...
Three rays of light flew out of Danxia Mountain. During the flight, Lord Danshu asked casually:
"Senior brother, if this 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect' insists on going to the South China Sea to support it, will our sect really go to war with it?"
True Lord Changjun laughed ‘haha’, shook his head and said:
"How is it possible? Dingzhou belongs to us, and the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect' also belongs to our sect. They are all bottles and jars at home. If any of them are broken, it will be a loss to our sect.
What's more, there are countless sects in Dingzhou watching us now, and taking action at will will only arouse dissatisfaction and fear from other sects in Dingzhou, just to scare them."
Alchemist Zhenjun said with some doubts:
"Mingxiao Zhenjun is also a master. He has always been shrewd in all cities. It is impossible not to see this. Why would he compromise in the end?"
True Lord Changjun said meaningfully:
“The ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ is the branch of Ruyi Zhenjun from the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’.
Look at the current development of the 'Southern Sect'. Its strength has been hundreds of times stronger than its original sect in just a few hundred years.
But the more glorious the 'Nan Sect' becomes, the more incompetent Ming Xiao's headmaster becomes.
This is a thorn that will always be stuck in the heart of Master Mingxiao and cannot be pulled out.
But if the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ no longer exists, this thorn may disappear.
Therefore, if given the opportunity, Headmaster Mingxiao would not hesitate to push the 'Nan Sect' to the edge of the cliff.
also..."
True Lord Changjun paused briefly and then said:
"This sect is very powerful, although both of us know very well that our sect will not take action against it.
But they don’t dare to gamble!
Haha, after all, the world of spiritual practice is a place where strength is important. Without strength, you can only stay low and be small.
For thousands of years, under the suppression of many high-ranking sects, there was only one freak like Zhenjun Ruyi!"
Zhenjun Jiukui could not help but praise:
"This True Lord Ruyi is really amazing. In hundreds of years, he built such a prominent foundation with just three cats and two dogs.
If the sect had not been established for a short period of time and had not yet had a Dao Lord appear, its sect's strength would be no less than that of a top-grade sect.
I have studied this person in detail and found that almost all the changes in the blue world today are inseparable from this person.
He is truly a hero that is rare to see in a thousand years, but it is a pity that he does not come from this sect."
True Lord Changjun said seriously:
"His hero is my enemy!
Once he is promoted to the rank of Taoist Lord, I am afraid that there will be a new 'Taoism Sect' pressing down on everyone like a mountain.
The reason why countless sects secretly acquiesced to the actions of the 'Vajra Sect' this time was because all the sects saw the terrifying potential of True Lord Ruyi in the future.
Although in view of the various contributions that Zhenjun Ruyi and the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ have made to this world, we cannot openly attack them, there is still no problem in causing some trouble for them.
The three of us and I are just one of them targeting the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect'. In the past thirty years, there are many sects that have been secretly blocking the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect''s request for help from the outside."
Lord Alchemist suddenly understood and nodded, thought for a while and said:
"Actually, there is no need for our sect to suppress the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect'. With this sect's strength, we cannot send many people. Even if we go, it will not help.
What's more, even if this is the case, some people in his sect who are on good terms with True Lord Ruyi will secretly go to support him.
Now it makes other sects think that our sect bullies the small ones with the big one, and creates the same hatred and resentment. It seems that the gains outweigh the losses!"
True Lord Changjun smiled slightly.
"What junior brother said is true, but no one will support it privately."
Alchemist Zhenjun looked startled and said strangely:
"I heard that True Lord Ruyi has extremely high prestige within his sect and has countless supporters.
Now, if one of his fellow disciples has not died, most of them have advanced to the rank of Yuanshen.
Well, there are also Ruyi Zhenjun’s master Yuegui Zhenjun and his senior brother Guanyu Zhenjun.
These people will always help, right?"
True Lord Changjun chuckled twice and said:
"Even if I can't stop you, True Lord Yue Gui and True Lord Guanyu will not support the 'Nan Sect'.
These two people are the two closest people to Zhenjun Ruyi in the Xiantian Yiqi Sect.
As long as these two people dare to take a step away from the sect, someone will definitely attack them, threaten them, and attack Zhenjun Ruyi, and they both know this very well.
For hundreds of years, the two of them have never left the gate of the Xiantian Yiqi Sect for fear of bringing trouble to True Lord Ruyi.
Therefore, no matter how dangerous the situation faced by the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' is, Master Yuegui and his disciples will not go to support it.
As for True Lord Ruyi's fellow disciples, the ones who can achieve Yuanshen are only True Lord Jiuding Ye Zhengqing, True Lord Breaking the Illusion Fan Chunlai, True Lord Changfeng Helian Chunfeng and a few others.
These people are now the pillars of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect', and Headmaster Mingxiao will not let a few people leave the sect privately.
Another point my junior brother is right about is that with just the manpower of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’, it will not be of much use to support them.
But what this sect actually wants is to create discord between the two sects.
Once there is a grudge between these two sects, when the opportunity matures in the future, our sect may not be able to intervene and take control of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect'.
After all, the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Nan Sect’ is a branch of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’, while the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’ is within the jurisdiction of this sect.”
Alchemist Zhenjun said with some admiration:
"This time, even if the 'King Kong Sect' goes all out, the most they can do is to severely damage the 'Xiantian Yiqi South Sect'.
As long as True Lord Ruyi is around, he will definitely be able to recover in the future.
If we help at the right time, it may not be impossible.
If we can annex the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’, maybe our sect can also become an existence like the ‘Daode Sect’ that dominates the world.”
True Lord Changjun sighed and said:
"yes!
Ruyi Zhenjun...Ruyi Zhenjun...hehe~~!
What a pity!”
As the three rays of light disappeared, long sighs echoed between heaven and earth.
...
Danxia Mountain.
Many Yuanshen True Lords of the Xiantian Yiqi Sect were silent with ugly expressions on their faces.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although True Monarch Tianya advanced to the Cave Heaven Realm and led his sect to a middle-level sect, his lifespan has expired and he died three hundred years ago.
The two True Lords Xinghe and Lieyan only have less than five hundred years left to live.
When they saw that the sect's disciples were promoted to the rank of Yuanshen True Lord one after another, the two of them stopped interfering in the sect's affairs and went into seclusion to practice.
Nowadays, Headmaster Ming Xiao is the most convinced among the Xiantian Yi Qi Sect in terms of age, seniority and other aspects.
But the decision made by Headmaster Mingxiao today has made many people extremely dissatisfied with it.
True Lord Changjun's proud laughter and contemptuous eyes as he left echoed over and over in everyone's minds.
After a long time, True Lord Yue Gui slowly stood up from his seat, glanced at everyone present with an expressionless expression, and said in an extremely calm tone:
"The sect cannot protect its own disciples, so how is it any different from casual cultivators?
I'm tired. From now on, Guanghanyuan will be closed to the outside world. Don't come to me for sect matters!"
As he said that, he flicked his right robe sleeve, a flash of blue lightning flashed, and the whole person disappeared.
Ye Zhengqing and Fan Chunlai also stood up one after another. Ye Zhengqing said:
"I have been taught by the Taoist teachings since childhood that our sect is our home. If there is danger or difficulty, our family members will definitely support us.
In the past, the two founders of Xinghe and Lieyan dared to risk their lives to save their disciples.
I have always felt proud and proud to be a disciple of the "Xiantian Yiqi Sect".
For thousands of years, our sect has never given up on a disciple even in dangerous moments.
The concept of never giving up or abandoning has long been integrated into our blood, marrow, and thoughts.
Unexpectedly, now that the sect's strength has increased, it has lost its backbone.
Just fight, no big deal, at most you will lose your life if you lose.
We are practitioners, and dignity can only be achieved with our own hands. How can we obtain it through the charity of others?
If any disciples ask me in the future:
"Master, will the sect really never give up on any of its disciples?
Fellow disciples, how should I answer this?"
Ye Zhengqing's voice was not loud, but his sharp words pierced everyone's heart like needles, making the pain unbearable.
Headmaster Mingxiao's face was gloomy. Just as he was about to speak, Fan Chunlai said impatiently:
"Senior brother, let's go. It looks suffocating here. Come have a drink with me!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand back, and a dark golden light exploded the case in front of him into pieces.
"Ugh~~ It's such an eyesore!"
After swearing in a meaningful way, he took Ye Zhengqing and transformed into two streams of light, bursting through the palace door and walked away.
True Lord Chongxiao sighed and said:
"The people's hearts are broken, and it's hard to take care of the sect!"
Headmaster Mingxiao had a livid face and felt a little aggrieved.
I was forced to make such a decision for the sake of the lives of tens of thousands of disciples in my sect. Why did everyone take their anger out on themselves?
Maybe Headmaster Mingxiao really thought about everyone in the sect, but what he didn't expect was the consequences of this incident.
After this day, the atmosphere within the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect' gradually began to change.
An idea may seem fictitious, but it is a belief and a thought.
It is easy to bend down, but it is difficult to straighten up.
When you become accustomed to avoiding danger instead of facing it head-on, a belief has collapsed.
Perhaps the 'Innate One Qi Sect' is still the 'Innate One Qi Sect', but the inner spirit no longer exists.
This is a hidden danger that is difficult to detect.
Only when the sect faces a real life-and-death crisis one day will this hidden danger unleash its most terrifying power.
Just like the original 'Shenyi Sect', it was only because Zhang Ke exposed the dirty deeds of its sect that the dignified fifth-grade sect fell into internal and external difficulties.
