Above the Tianshan Mountains, there is a blanket of snow.
The cold wind blew the fog, and the sea of clouds lay beneath my feet.
After all, spring has begun, and the snow on the mountain has thinned significantly. On a gray-black stone exposed, the Taoist sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and his shoulders and legs were covered with frost and snow.
Suddenly there was a flash of fire between heaven and earth.
"Canopy..."
Suddenly there was a figure in the blue sky.
The person who came here had long beard and long beard, and was dressed in a red robe. He looked very similar to True Lord Yanyang of the Flame Mountain. His expression was solemn, not angry but powerful.
The spirit lowered his head and looked at the Taoist below.
The Taoist finally opened his eyes.
"I am True Lord Huoyang!"
Huoyang Zhenjun was his title in ancient times, and it was also what the people always called him. However, with the evolution of the Taoist Heavenly Palace system, the official title has long been changed to Emperor.
"Invited by the Emperor of Heaven, I come to surrender to you!"
"I have long admired the name of the Divine Lord." The Taoist stood up and saluted upward, "I have been waiting here for a long time."
"You do have some courage!"
"The same is true for the Lord Shen." The Taoist said, "I thought this place was far away from the incense dojo of the Lord Shen, and the Lord Shen would not come."
"The Emperor of Heaven also asked me to wait a little longer. I'll wait until you go to Tianjin Mountain and return to China to fight again. However, I have never been very patient and I really can't wait any longer. I don't want to wait any longer." Huoyang Zhen
You have the character of an ancient god, but when you say this, you can't help but raise your eyebrows, "But you seem to know that it is me who is coming?"
"Zhenjun Yanyang just stepped in to help me. If the Lord God doesn't come forward again, it will really be unreasonable."
"It's quite a scheme!"
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
"Haha, it seems that the old man's body bones are not completely rotten yet." Zhenjun Huoyang smiled, then looked at him, shook his head and said, "However, Jin Lingguan came to the lower world alone to fight you, so it doesn't matter.
To insult the reputation of the number one general in Tiangong, you beat the major general to death by beating him too many times. This is neither a divine way nor a royal way."
"I am a junior and a mortal. I am unable to fight against the entire Heavenly Palace by myself, so I have no choice but to do this." Song You said calmly, "What's more, Jin Lingguan is not really alone. Behind him, Doubu Xingguan and everyone
The heavenly generals were not well hidden, but they were afraid of the divine fire of True Lord Yanyang and could not follow him to the lower world. If I were really alone and faced Jin Lingguan, even if I won, I would definitely be at the end of the war. Now,
It’s no longer the ancient times, and the character of the people in the world is gone. By then, will the Heavenly Palace be as particular about the divine way as the king of gods?"
"Those who do great things must be cautious."
"It has to be this way."
"I thought it was, 'Those who have gained the right will get many help, but those who have lost the right will have little help'."
True Lord Huoyang said with a smile, seeming to be more scheming than True Lord Yanyang, and then asked: "What you want to do is not just as simple as rebuilding the road to heaven, right?"
"We still need to clean up the unscrupulous gods."
"What a loud tone!"
True Lord Huoyang suddenly showed an angry look.
"I just don't want to deceive the Lord of God." The Taoist's expression remained indifferent, "Incense and fire, the way of God, should be like this."
"Let me ask you! How many of the ancient gods became gods by virtue and merit rather than by practicing Taoism?"
"What happened in ancient times conformed to the current situation, and what I do below conforms to the way of heaven."
"If you are following the trend of the times, why are you doing this?"
"If a person became a god in ancient times, I will not investigate whether he became a god through merit and virtue, but only how many good deeds he performed in the thousands of years after he became a god." Song You lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, which was regarded as a tribute to these ancient gods.
A little respect and preferential treatment can be regarded as some temporary compromise for them.
Since ancient times, even if the world changes dynasties and fights from the south to the north, there is no reason to wipe out everything in the previous dynasty.
"Then, in your opinion, how much merit do I have for my good deeds?"
"The God of Fire has lived in the sky for a long time and is hidden behind the scenes. He does not have many good deeds." Song You said truthfully, "However, Taoist priests in the lower realms practice fire magic. Most of them worship the God of Fire. When performing magic, they borrow it from the God of Fire.
When the divine fire subdues and eliminates demons, it is also considered as the God of Fire’s good deeds.”
"Hahaha……"
True Lord Huoyang couldn't help but laugh and narrowed his eyes: "I have practiced cultivation for thousands of years, and yet I still have to rely on a junior like you to judge my good and evil deeds. It's ridiculous."
"It is up to future generations to comment on many merits, as is the case with many things in the world."
"No more nonsense!" Zhenjun Huoyang's expression suddenly condensed, "Today, I lead the God of Fire in the Heavenly Palace and come to surrender to you. How will you respond?"
Song You raised his eyes and looked at the sky——
We were clearly above the white clouds, with the blue sky above our heads. But at some point, another group of white clouds floated in, with firelight and figures faintly visible in the clouds.
"If the God of Fire fights with me, why should it affect all the righteous gods?"
"That makes sense."
True Lord Huoyang said seriously: "I am an ancient god, born in the same generation as your ancestor. It is really embarrassing to deal with a junior and require help from others. Let me test how much you have and whether you can do it."
and do great things as you say in your mouth.”
This is the meaning of the conversation just now——
In ancient times, people were more observant of etiquette and moral integrity. This is not false. The ancient gods were also very particular about it, which is not false. However, most of the great powers who were best at observing integrity in ancient times have turned into the dust of history.
Okay. This True Lord Huoyang is very particular about authenticity. He may be better than Jin Lingguan, and even several times better than the Emperor of Heaven, but he is definitely not as good as True Lord Yanyang.
These ancient gods are also sophisticated enough to know that Taoists comply with the will of heaven and the people, and do not want to go against heaven and go too far. However, they must weigh it clearly and at least confirm their own survival interests first.
Since they don't need the help of the Fire Lord, why take them to the lower world?
If in the previous conversation, Lord Huoyang felt that this battle was related to his life and death, then the Lord of Fire in the sky would definitely not come to watch the battle.
"Come on fire!"
I saw True Lord Huoyang reaching out and making a move.
"boom……"
Suddenly the sky was filled with fire, filling the heaven and earth.
The snow in the Tianshan Mountains melted instantly, and even the rolling white clouds beneath our feet were quickly receding.
Fire spreads across the sky, burning everything.
The Taoist was in it, protected by spiritual light all over his body, but in just the blink of an eye, most of the spiritual light on his body had faded away. In a trance, he seemed to be in the same situation as the Jin Lingguan in the desert two days ago.
"How does my Nine Yuan Heavenly Fire compare to the Earth Spirit Divine Fire?"
"sharp……"
"That's the case! Why don't you hide away?" Zhenjun Huoyang stared at him with wide eyes, as if he felt contempt, but also seemed to feel unsatisfied.
"Does the Lord God know? Why are you waiting here for the Lord God?"
"I'm going to Tianjin Mountain."
"No!"
Song You suddenly dispersed and was filled with aura.
"boom……"
The aura of heavenly fire gathered together, like an invisible hand transformed by high temperature, trying to melt and crush everything in between, but the Taoist was not damaged at all.
I saw Song You spreading his hands——
There was a ball of white air in his hand, misty and uncertain.
"This is the cold aura of the sacred mountain for hundreds of millions of years, the essence of heaven and earth. I have specially taken it this time. I wonder how it compares to the divine king's heavenly fire?"
The Taoist looked at Lord Huoyang from a distance.
The sky fire was billowing beside him, with the power of destroying the world. It could easily burn down a city or country. However, it could not get within a foot of the Taoist, and it was even further away than before the aura was put away.
Lord Huoyang's expression has changed.
It may be difficult to say who is better, the nine-yuan sky fire or the cold energy of the sacred mountain, but there is obvious restraint between the two parties.
"When water and fire merge, it depends on who has more stamina."
True Lord Huoyang snorted angrily and waved his hand again, and suddenly the heavenly fire poured out continuously.
So much so that those who were watching the battle from afar, including the God of Fire and the God who controlled the fire, couldn't help but retreat and did not dare to get close.
"rational."
The Taoist nodded to him with a calm expression.
The cold aura in his hand was fading rapidly, but he just pinched a seal, and the entire snow mountain suddenly lit up with aura. As soon as the seal was released, the cold aura immediately overflowed.
There is an infinite cold aura in the back mountain.
"laugh……"
The fire from heaven was also extinguished.
Many gods in the distance were horrified to see——
As the God of Fire, I know the fire element very well, and I don't know how this person found such a cold aura of heaven and earth, but it happens to be the nemesis of all fire magic.
Such an ancient god has been immersed in the world for many years, and his most powerful method has been cracked, but he still has the power to fight?
…
"Report to the Great Emperor! Emperor Huoyang has been defeated!"
In Daluotian and Lingyun Palace, the voices that shocked the gods echoed in the clouds of immortal energy.
"What?"
"The emperor is defeated!"
"Isn't it said that the Emperor's Nine Yuan Heavenly Fire has been stored for thousands of years and is indestructible? How could it be defeated? Isn't Fulong Temple so powerful today?"
"That's not the case, but the emperor was careless and fell into the trap of Fulongguan Dynasty. He stepped into the trap!" The voice of the old god rang out, "Fulongguan Dynasty did not use other methods. Instead, it was in the deep Tianshan Mountains of Fanbang in the Western Regions.
I searched for a sacred mountain everywhere, but no one knew that the sacred mountain actually contained the aura of cold energy that lasted for hundreds of millions of years! The emperor was self-sufficient in his conduct and age, but was too proud and went there rashly, accidentally falling into a trap!"
"ah?"
"It's not that the emperor is invincible, but that all things in the world and the magical powers and magic are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. After the emperor sacrificed the Nine Yuan Heavenly Fire, it was said to burn the sky and destroy the earth. Who would have thought that Fulong Temple in the contemporary era would induce the cold aura and completely extinguish the heavenly fire in a short time
Oh!" The old god sighed and said, "The emperor is full of confidence, but I'm afraid he didn't expect it!"
"How is the emperor now? Is he still alive?"
"Reporting to the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor was seriously injured and has now returned to the thirty-fourth heaven." The old god paused for a moment, "He said that he wanted to practice behind closed doors. At the same time, as an ancient god, he is no match for the juniors in the world, and he has no face to see him again.
To the monks and gods in heaven and earth, the Palace of the Lord of Fire has been sealed off, no visitors are coming, and it no longer cares about the affairs of the Ministry of Fire."
"Closed door to practice?"
The Emperor of Heaven had just been happy that True Lord Huoyang had not died. When he heard that True Lord Huoyang was recuperating behind closed doors, he sat back down again.
It is true that there are many ancient gods in the sky. However, these ancient gods are all arrogant and contemptuous of all living beings. At the same time, they are also good at calculating and just want to live forever. It is difficult to recruit them. It is not easy to find True Lord Huoyang.
His temper was relatively irritable, but he rashly went down to the next level and returned in defeat. Now he is cultivating behind closed doors and no longer has any visitors. This is like a bolt from the blue.
"If we invite the three righteous gods of Doube, Thunder and Fire to go down to the realm together, will they be able to fight?"
"Reporting back to the emperor, although there are many Star Officials and generals in Dou Bu, except for Jin Lingguan, there is no one who can defeat the powerful people of ancient times, and there is no one as good at fighting as Jin Lingguan. Although the Fire Department Zhengshen is violent and domineering, even
True Lord Huoyang has been defeated, and even the chief officer of the Fire Department is probably no match for him. What’s more, they are just watching today’s battle, so they may have lost their will to fight.”
The analysis of the old god is very reasonable:
"In addition, although there is Zhou Lei Gong in the Lei Department, Zhou Lei Gong is now very popular among the people, and his character is upright and brave. Tian Lei is also very strong and fierce, good at killing, but he can be compared with Jin Lingguan. However, before Jin Lingguan
The emperor must learn from the past mistakes. If you are not completely sure, you must never send Zhou Lei Gong out easily again."
I can't find any fault with it.
In Lingyun Hall, both the Heavenly Emperor above and the many old gods below all nodded their heads after hearing this.
"What the old god said is true..."
"Furthermore, Fulongguan has the blessing and promise of heaven in this era. Even if we go to invite Zhou Lei Gong, Zhou Lei Gong is too upright and he may not be willing to go to war."
"No matter what, we must not repeat the mistakes we made in the past."
