Sure enough, less than half a moment after Luo Qingyun finished speaking, Immortal King Xuanji shouted: "Don't worry, disciples, this is the essence of Jidu. It can disturb people's minds and attract heavenly demons. The Lichen Formation cannot resist it. However,
All you need to do is guard the spiritual platform, be at peace with your mind and energy, and silently recite the Three Questions Sutra of my teaching Ling Xuan to get rid of the suppression!"
The words contained true energy and had the power to shock the mind. Many Lichen monks on the mountain and down the mountain were shocked and woke up from the illusion and inner demons.
Immortal King Xuanji was the only person inferior to Juechen in the Yuanshi Realm of the Lichen Sect. He had extremely high magical power and a long reputation. He immediately restored calm to Lichen, who was showing signs of panic for the first time.
In fact, everyone in the Lichen Sect knows the method of exorcising inner demons. They were just unprepared and were taken advantage of. At this time, following the instructions recited by the great immortal and step by step, many monks recovered in just a moment.
usual.
Nahen Haitian Jun Zhao Shiyuan saw it in his eyes, but shook his head slightly. He knew that Li Chen Sect's methods would not stop there.
After all, it is the corpse of Jidu, and there are countless demons of freedom. Except for some people with extremely strong mental toughness, there are very few people in Lichen who can resist and resist the intrusion of inner demons by their own strength.
However, since the Lichen Sect had known about it for a long time, they must have prepared ways to deal with it.
And the result was not surprising, in the sky above the Lichen Sect, there was a cyan treasure mirror floating in the sky.
Countless rays of green light also fell down like moonlight, scattering over the area tens of thousands of miles around Lichen Mountain.
"Is this the Yuqing Heart Mirror?"
The Emperor of Disaster let out a chuckle, and then mocked: "When did you, Li Chen, get involved with Taoist Yuxu?"
This object is symptomatic, but it is a pity that this object was separated from the dust and could not be sacrificed, so it is just a borrowed treasure. Moreover, the grade of this object is only innately high-grade, and it cannot completely suppress the corpse of Jidu.
However, what Huo Tianzi and Zhao Shiyuan valued was the posture of Taoist Yuxu with the help of this treasure. Obviously, they also disapproved of the actions of Mahayana Buddhism and the two Taoist monks Xuande and Qingxu.
The Lichen Sect's lineage has always been close to Taoist Yuanhuang. However, this time, Taoist Yuxu was willing to lend Lichen his valuable treasure.
Even if you don't come forward directly, you can still put great pressure on the other party.
When the green mirror hung in the sky, the situation inside and outside the mountain calmed down a few minutes.
Then everyone heard Immortal King Xuanji continue to say: "In addition, our sect has built twenty-four small caves in this mountain, specially designed to resist the inner demons that he has transformed into. If you are not aware of it,
You can enter this cave to avoid inner demons, and you will never try to do anything arrogant! Especially those below the Immortal level. You must not force yourself to support yourself."
When these words were spoken, hundreds of spiritual lights suddenly appeared up and down the Lichen Mountain. These were the entrances to the cave, which were opened inside and below the mountain to allow people from the Lichen Sect to enter easily.
Those disciples at the bottom of Lichen felt as if they had been granted amnesty upon hearing this. They stood up one after another and took the initiative to walk into these caves.
——These are all below the Mahayana realm. It’s not that their ambitions are weak or their will is weak. The real reason is that the essence of Jidu is too overbearing for them and beyond their capabilities.
Forcing him to stay will only create loopholes and allow those who have inner demons to take advantage of him. At that time, it will bring disaster to the sect.
But in just this moment, there were already seven to eight million people missing from Lichen Mountain, leaving only nine hundred thousand empty disciples guarding the four directions.
This is also the essence of the Lichen Sect. In addition to the various Taoist palaces and the part guarding the 'Taixiao Zhou Tianlun', there are a total of 2.4 million elite Taoist soldiers. Basically, they all have magic power close to that of the spiritual fairyland.
It overwhelmingly overwhelms Tiandong. Its overall strength is more than twice that of the Haotian Divine Court!
"It's really well prepared."
Emperor Huo laughed again: "Last time, Gui Dengyang, you, Li Chen, really got a glimpse of the Taoist Xuande. That old man Jue Chenzi is really cunning."
The reason why Li Chen kept it secret was probably to prevent Xuande and the Mahayana Buddhism from learning about it in advance and preparing separate methods to attack the mountain, which would be difficult to deal with at that time.
But what Qijue Sanren still don't understand is how on earth the Lichen Sect, under Xuande's command, managed to uncover the truth about Gui Dengyang?
Those who were retreating were really weird, and Jue Chenzi suddenly sent a message, telling them to stop. Now that I think about it, it feels even weirder.
Zhao Shiyuan is more concerned about the battle situation: "This method is not bad. It can preserve your Lichen vitality to the greatest extent. But in this way, the power of this ninth-level immortal formation will inevitably be much weaker?"
This is a total of eight million monks. Although most of them are at the level of Hedao and Guiyuan, it is not a trivial matter.
In his opinion, although the plan of Mahayana Buddhism and Xuande failed to achieve what they wanted, it still succeeded in weakening the combat power of the "Taixiao Chongming Extermination Formation" by at least 30 to 50%.
Luo Qingyun smiled and said nothing, without any worries. In fact, Zhuang Wudao alone was enough. The nineteenth-level world-viewing pupil was enough to activate the full power of the 'Taixiao Chongming Extermination Formation'.
And right now, those powerful enemies have not shown up, and it is not the time for Zhuang Wudao to take action.
Before that, the more people who suppress this formation, the better. The more monks in the formation, the greater the blessing they can provide to Zhuang Wudao.
Originally, the two of them expected that to be able to get rid of the influence of Jidu's essence, it would be good to have one hundred thousand Lichen monks left in the formation. However, unexpectedly, Juechenzi actually borrowed the Yuqing Heart Mirror from the Yuxiao Taoist.
, this far exceeded Zhuang Wudao’s expectations.
"Why do you need to ask? These two people are confident, you and I can just watch."
Emperor Huo sneered, and then squinted at the jade chariot with contempt: "They said they gave Li Chen ten days, but he took action on the eighth day. This Xuande Taoist really broke his promise as always.
"
"That person really doesn't have the spirit of a Taoist ancestor."
Zhao Shiyuan agreed for the second time, but Xuande's methods were actually beyond reproach.
Xuande Taoist Master's words for ten days must have been to make Lichen relax his vigilance and feel contemptuous within these ten days. If Lichen was unprepared, it would be the perfect time to take action at this time.
But now, the people on the other side should know that the essence of this plan is far from enough to capture Lichen Mountain. I don't know what kind of backhand the Hunyuan Taoist will use next.
※※※※
A hundred thousand miles away, in Xuantian's chariot, Xuande Taoist's face was calm as usual. He was not angry because his carefully prepared plan failed.
But next to him, Namo Ksitigarbha, who also came from Mahayana Buddhism, was quite puzzled.
"Are you really prepared?"
Looking from afar, the Ksitigarbha Tathagata's eyes were even weirder: "I feel that there is a Buddhist aura in the place where Emperor Chongxuan and Motian Daxian are. I think they are using my Buddha's things to suppress their spiritual thoughts."
If it hadn't been prepared in advance, how comprehensive would the Lichen Sect's response this time be? Not only did they take care of the lower-level disciples, but they also took full precautions around Huang Chongxuan and the Great Immortal Motian, without revealing any flaws.
"The object of Buddhism is the immeasurable true Buddha?"
The expression of Taoist Xuande is quite strange. Hinayana Buddhism regards Mahayana Buddhas as evil spirits. They believe that Mahayana monks misinterpret the meaning of scriptures, confuse people's hearts and bring disaster to the world, so they try their best to reject them.
However, as the Buddha, Immeasurable True Buddha is quite neutral. He neither allows Hinayana to be bullied by Mahayana nor helps Hinayana to cut off Mahayana.
Even if the Void Dragon Buddha and the Formless Buddha are rising one after another, and they have the potential to overwhelm them, they don't care at all.
But this time, that person actually took action to help Li Chen and the two great Luo suppress their inner demons. What was the purpose of this?
Could it be that he is just like the Yuxu Tianzun who wants to use this incident to express his dissatisfaction with him and Mahayana Buddhism?
"It may not have been done by the immeasurable true Buddha himself, but Li Chen borrowed the power of the utensils. You must know that the Buddha has been enlightened for three kalpas, and there are often treasures left outside."
Ksitigarbha Tathagata shook his head and didn't care at this moment: "What I'm just curious about is, how does the Lichen Sect know that we are the essence of Jidu prepared?"
This time, Shantideva Tathagata wanted to help Lu Xuanyang suppress Xuanbi and the 'Taixiao Zhou Tianlun', so that the battle of Lichen Mountain, with a total of 800,000 Buddhist soldiers, could only be presided over by Ksitigarbha Tathagata.
However, at the beginning of the war, this situation made him feel strange.
The previous turmoil in the Ghost Lantern Ocean ended in vain. Therefore, according to common sense, Li Chen could not see through the reality there. How did he know that they were collecting the essence of Jidu?
This made him subconsciously feel that something was wrong, and today's battle also had a bad start. The price he would have to pay next would definitely be heavier than he expected.
"I'm not that surprised. That Juechenzi has been standing since three calamities to this day. How can he be an easy person?"
Speaking of this, the corners of Taoist Xuande's lips curled up slightly: "So, do you Buddhists have the intention of giving up halfway? It's still too late to regret it now."
This catastrophe of leaving the world was caused by Buddhism. Although he had to pay a lot, the price paid by Buddhism was much heavier.
If we really want to retreat, we can afford to lose the three islands in the South China Sea. At most, we will endanger Li Chen.
"Tao Zun is joking." Ksitigarbha Tathagata shook his head: "Although the essence of Jidu failed to achieve what I wanted, it is not nothing."
Although this attempt failed to cause chaos in Lichen and collapse the 'Taixiao Chongming Extermination Formation', it also failed to assassinate Dao Motian Daxian and Huang Chongxuan, but it also succeeded in bringing down the eight million monks in Lichen.
Forced to hide in the cave. Before his inner demons are dissipated, these Lichen monks will not be able to come out at all during this battle.
And even the remaining 900,000 Lichen elites are actually unable to use their full strength. With the essence of Jidu and the interference of his inner demons. These people always need to resist the evil thoughts. How can they use their full strength to operate this city?
'Taixiao Chongming Extermination Formation'?
Although the opponent borrowed the Yuqing Heart Mirror and had the help of Hattianjun Zhaoshiyuan, he suppressed it with the 'Eight Treasures Lamp'.
But Ksitigarbha Tathagata was able to sense that at this time, there were already two of the top Mysterious Saint Demons hovering in Lichen Mountain.
——The attributes of his inner demons have several levels of realms, such as freedom, formlessness, confusion, etc. The so-called confusing heaven saints and demons are undoubtedly the highest level among the inner demons in this domain. Among them, they are the strongest.
It can be compared to the Supreme Realm, or even the Yuanshi Realm, and is infinitely close to the Jidu of the past. Often a single thought can cause millions of people to lose their minds and sink.
