The old man in gray robe destroyed himself and went into seclusion. Although he did not die directly, he paid a heavy price and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
But he is already part of the way of heaven.
What Li Pingan said just now was not too absolute, and many of the speculations were not stated directly.
For example, this gray-robed old man is the evil corpse of Hongjun. Hongjun's evil corpse polluted the way of heaven based on the inner way of heaven. Today, Hongjun's plan is probably to let his evil corpse take full control of the way of heaven.
Take the way of heaven as your three corpses.
This is much more advanced and difficult than fully integrating the Tao on one's own.
Li Pingan actually has a doubt here.
Whether it is the Inner Heavenly Dao or Hongjun's Evil Corpse, they are actually part of the Heavenly Dao, not the whole of Heavenly Dao. Why should they control the entire Heavenly Dao?
Hongjun wanted the Inner Heaven to devour his father, and his motives and purposes were very obvious.
This move is to use the "prestige" generated by Li Dazhi's teaching of Tiandao to increase the influence of Inner Tiandao on Tiandao.
So why did Hongjun urge Houtu to establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
Just to cover up his true purpose?
Houtu incarnates the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and itself is merged into the Heavenly Dao, becoming one of the top five or even top three beings in the current Heavenly Dao sequence.
If Hongjun wants to use evil corpses to control the way of heaven, he must reduce his 'competitors'.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation will become the ballast stone of Heaven and the main means by which Heaven controls living beings - reincarnation, judging good and evil, recording the life of living beings, and planning the future destiny of living beings.
This seems somewhat contradictory at first glance.
But if Hongjun can have the means and confidence to control the way of heaven that has joined the six paths of reincarnation, then...
Li Pingan did not continue talking at this moment.
Before, he seemed to be able to suppress Hongjun, but in fact, he borrowed the power of his transcendent teacher, and his own teacher also wanted to lose Hongjun's skin.
This is essentially a contest between the detached person and Hongjun, and will not solve the current fundamental problem.
He has temporarily protected his father. Next, he only needs to take his father away from this illusion of inner heaven and find a way to complain to Master Taiqing, so that Hongjun cannot succeed.
The key point lies in the sanctified Taiqing.
At this moment, the sky was shaking. Kunpeng led all the great demons under his control and rushed into the gap in the formation of heaven and earth. Xuandu City was pushed back into the gap that appeared on the inside of heaven and earth. Li Ping'an discovered that Hongjun seemed to have a chance to win.
An expression of 'I'm done pretending' appeared on Hongjun Xuying's face.
Li Ping'an still can't understand that Kunpeng is Hongjun's back-up man.
In a short period of time, he integrated the information he had previously received from the Transcendent and Hongjun.
The battle body of Shifeng, the magical power of Nirvana, and the second soul method control the innate gods and demons.
When these elements were integrated, Li Ping'an suddenly realized the seriousness of Kunpeng's problem.
Kunpeng is a chess piece that the Transcendant originally arranged casually, in order to catch the innate gods and demons to fill the origin of heaven and earth, so that the Transcendent can finally extract it.
Judging from Hongjun's behavior at this moment, he must have done something to Kunpeng.
Kunpeng, who was conspired by these two Lao Deng, is now letting the great innate gods and demons he controls enter the world, suppressed by heaven and earth, and besieged by Taoist immortals, which is almost equal to death.
Two possibilities are likely to arise later.
The first possibility is that there is a second spirit of Kunpeng within the innate great gods and demons. They are reborn in Nirvana through the magical power of Nirvana. The great demon god who uses the supernatural powers recognized by heaven and earth to achieve nirvana will become the ancient Great Luo Jinxian and will no longer be suppressed by heaven and earth.
The second possibility...
Kunpeng tried to become a saint with his strength!
No matter what the possibility is, Li Ping'an absolutely does not want to see it, and it will cause a catastrophe in the world.
So he hurriedly said, 'Let the Taoist immortals retreat'.
This is just to delay Kunpeng's opportunity to realize these two possibilities and give himself more room for planning.
Immediately afterwards, Li Pingan suddenly discovered a more serious problem.
In the direction of Xuandu City, a barrier formed by the power of heaven appeared in the entire universe, and his words could not be transmitted through the heaven!
The evil corpse of Hongjun is definitely causing trouble here!
Li Ping'an's heart suddenly went cold.
It is true that he is the Emperor of Heaven, but Hongjun has been running Heaven's Way for too long, and Hongjun's evil corpse has long been embedded in Heaven's Way and has become a part of Heaven's Way. This part of Heaven's Way has its own ideas and does not follow the orders of the first order of Heaven's Way.
Li Ping'an:......
"Peace, peace!"
Li Dazhi pulled Li Ping'an and said urgently:
"Everyone is waiting for your explanation, don't be in a daze."
Li Ping'an's Adam's apple trembled a few times. He looked up and saw dozens of 'audiences' looking at him with doubts in their eyes.
Rumble——
Heaven is still shaking.
This is a battle on the edge of the prehistoric world that has shaken the Three Thousand Avenues, and the two convergence points of the Three Thousand Avenues, Heavenly Court and the Immortal Volcano, will feel it.
Li Pingan glanced at his transcendent teacher;
The latter had a little anger and disapproval in his eyes.
He looked at Hongjun's shadow in the pavilion.
Hongjun had a faint smile on his face, confident of winning.
But Xuanyuan Huangdi, Shennong, Zhen Yuanzi and other dozens of masters were full of doubts at this moment, wondering why Li Ping'an didn't let the Taoist Immortal take action when Kunpeng suddenly attacked.
Li Pingan was about to speak.
Hongjun's shadow on the side smiled and said slowly:
"It's really rare for Ping An to discover so many unusual things. Although he has some misunderstandings about Pindao, Pindao doesn't blame him.
"He is young and energetic, and can easily be taken advantage of by people with malicious intentions. As long as he knows his mistakes and can correct them, he can do no great good.
"Let Pindao show you what this ultimate winner of other worlds, the transcendent person who transcends the tangible world, wants to do today. And this is the only reason why Pindao is anxious to make the way of heaven perfect, and rushes to build the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
.
"Everyone, please see, this is Xuandu City at this moment."
Hongjun's shadow raised his hand and swiped lightly, and a huge cloud mirror appeared above the pavilion.
What the cloud mirror shows is the battle taking place in Xuandu City at this moment.
Hundreds of innate gods and demons charged inward crazily, seemingly going mad themselves.
The countless chaotic creatures were hovering at the breach in the heaven and earth formation, completely daring not to enter.
The jet-black phoenix had a wingspan of ten thousand feet. It fought with dozens of masters and was suppressed head-on by dozens of heavy treasures. Twenty-four sea-fixing beads blocked the jet-black phoenix's retreat.
Kong Xuan, wrapped in five-color divine light, rushed back from the sea of chaos. The sharp five-color divine light had defeated several big demons.
The great demons suppressed by heaven and earth are not as powerful as they are in the sea of chaos.
It's like...
Previously they were porcupines covered in spikes;
At this moment, they are white and fat domestic pigs, or domestic pigs that have eaten poison and are bleeding all over their bodies.
Most of the innate gods and demons could no longer hold up, but they just charged forward.
Hongjun also specially gave a close-up of a corner.
The Dapeng bird carrying Li Ping'an's body and the Turtle Spirit Virgin Mother were still on their way to Xuandu City.
It would take them almost half an hour to arrive here, and the Dapeng had already received Li Ping'an's order to fly at full speed a moment ago.
Xuanyuan Huangdi frowned and asked: "Senior Hongjun, what does this mean? Ping An, please say something, I can't trust this senior."
All eyes immediately fell on Li Ping'an.
"I can't use the way of heaven to send my voice to Xuandu City now. There is a consciousness in the way of heaven that is fighting against me, the one you just saw.
"More than that, Hongjun should have sealed off that airspace to prevent us from interfering with Kunpeng's plan."
At this moment, Li Ping'an could only speak straightforwardly and tell the experts everything he knew and saw:
"I presume...
"Kunpeng is letting these innate gods and demons die. He uses his second soul to control these innate gods and demons in advance, and he must have made other arrangements.
"Kunpeng is now using a new Taoist body with 60% of the power of Shifeng Taoist body. He is actively putting himself on the verge of death and deliberately getting into a deep siege. In the previous battle, the two sides were already tightly tied and it was difficult to stop.
"The rules of heaven and earth and the immortals of Taoism are Kunpeng's whetstones.
"Next, there may be scenes of a large number of innate gods and demons entering Nirvana."
As soon as he finished speaking, the pitiful scream of the dark phoenix was transmitted here through the cloud mirror, and Kunpeng screamed almost crazily:
"Why are you stopping me! What does this have to do with you!"
"Taomen Immortal!"
"I want to kill the Three Emperors! This is the cause and effect between them and me! I just left, but the cause and effect!"
Then Taoist Duobao said hello: "Kill him while he is sick! After doing this, Heaven will definitely reward you with a lot of merit! Get a barbecue grill over there and prepare it!"
Hundreds of streams of light bombarded Kunpeng indiscriminately.
Li Ping'an:......
Immortals:......
The spirit in the coffin almost laughed out loud: "Kunpeng, his acting skills are really good."
Hongjun said with a smile: "That is better cultivated by Taoist friends."
"I just gave Kunpeng the second soul method to help him seize the body of an innate god and demon," the spirit in the coffin said calmly, "I can't compare to your painstaking calculations, fellow Taoist."
"To this day, fellow Taoists are still deceiving the Emperor of Heaven and misleading all sentient beings!"
Hongjun was heartbroken:
"Why doesn't Pindao want to join forces with you anymore? It's because he discovered your wolfish ambitions!
"You keep saying that you just want to wait for heaven and earth to end, but today you arrange such a disaster in order to speed up the end of heaven and earth!
"An alien spirit like you, an extraterrestrial demon, doesn't care at all about the life and death of tens of thousands of creatures in the world!"
The corner of the coffin spirit's mouth was twitching, but he just sneered and stared at Hongjun with a gloomy face.
There were indeed a few experts in the 'audience' here who looked hesitant, looking at Hongjun, at the spirit in the coffin, and then at Li Ping'an.
Li Ping'an quietly took his father two steps back, casting his gaze to Xingtian not far away, and taking a look at the Inner Heaven Dao gods above.
Li Dazhi whispered: "Ping An, this old boy is too difficult to deal with."
"Dad, notice that he claims to have changed."
"Replaced from me to Pindao?"
"Well," Li Ping'an responded, "for the time being, we can only watch the show. I hope I can find a way to leave here in time."
Li Dazhi raised his hand and grabbed Li Ping'an's arm, and whispered: "No, if not, I will..."
"No way!"
Li Ping'an turned his head slightly: "I have the final say at home now, no matter what the price is paid today."
Li Dazhi smiled in relief, let go of Li Ping'an's arm, grabbed the long sword and looked forward.
"It's okay, I still have great luck."
"I'll try to see if I can get through Hongjun's evil corpse."
Li Ping'an closed his eyes and concentrated, holding the Heavenly Emperor's Seal flatly in his palm, with his mind fully open and constantly communicating with the way of heaven.
Only then did he realize that he relied too much on the Faceless Man of Heaven, the evil corpse of Hongjun in disguise.
In the cloud mirror, the dark phoenix was killing them crazily. More than a dozen Taoist immortals had fallen into his hands, and the offensive of the Taoist immortals became even sharper.
But the group of great innate gods and demons had been almost destroyed.
Crispy as paper, they are said to be suppressed by the rules of the ancient world.
At the edge of the heaven, Li Ping'an was in the illusion of the inner heaven, and the seal of the Heavenly Emperor in his palm shimmered slightly.
Hongjun Xuying frowned and looked at him.
The spirit in the coffin put away its gloomy face and stared at Yun Jing with a smile on its lips, seeming to be quite interested in what was about to happen next.
All the masters looked solemn, while Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Shennong had begun to turn their heads to send messages, as if they were making arrangements.
Near Xuandu City, the Taoist Immortals have actually discovered something unusual.
…
"This isn't right."
Zhao Gongming’s voice was low and powerful:
"Why does Kunpeng seem so intent on dying here?"
"What is he afraid of," the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit said nonchalantly, "Looking at how fierce Shi Feng's body is, everyone must not forget Shi Feng's signature magical power."
"Nirvana?"
The Holy Mother of Wudang whispered a few times: "The Nirvana of the Phoenix Clan is not without flaws. Although it can be used when dying, the Nirvana will be more ferocious than before, but after the Nirvana battle, it will have to sleep for a long time to restore its own vitality."
Taoist Duobao took a breath of air: "Hey, you guys, are these innate gods and demons going to reach nirvana?"
The masters of Jiejiao were almost silent at the same time.
At this moment, Fairy Qiongxiao suddenly called out softly: "Gui Ling reminded us to retreat first! She said that Kunpeng had a big plan! But I couldn't hear clearly. She used the Immortal Killing Sword to transmit the sound, and she spoke intermittently!"
"Intermittently?" Zhao Gongming said quickly, "The four swords of Zhu Xian were left by Master to summon us. Why are they intermittent?"
"Niang Xipi! There must be big trouble here!"
Taoist Duobao roared:
"Junior brothers and sisters, retreat first! Call Chanjiao up too! Evacuate quickly! Senior brother, hurry up and take Xuandu City away!"
At the same time, on the back of the Dapeng bird that was galloping towards here.
Gui Lingling, who was holding the Immortal Killing Sword, shouted happily: "The mission is completed! It's done!"
Li Pingan's body finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He said: "The way of heaven is a little out of control now. Fortunately, you are there."
"Oh, it's okay," Gui Lingling blinked, "Why are you so polite to us? We are your thighs that you can hug all the time!"
Li Ping'an smiled and nodded: "Well, I will go to the main body first. If I can prevent Kunpeng from nirvana, it is just a temporary measure..."
Buzz!
The void suddenly shook strangely.
Li Ping'an raised his head fiercely and saw countless dark divine thunders streaking through the void, smashing into the breach in the heaven and earth formation.
And a tyrannical will kept roaring in about one-third of the land covered by the Heavenly Dao.
[Innate gods and demons who invade our heaven and earth must be destroyed themselves!]
Li Ping'an:......
Grass, not a plant!
In the past, he asked the Faceless Man of Heaven to impose heavenly punishment, but the Faceless Man of Heaven was very coy, and insisted on spending his merit power, and even petrified him several times.
Fuck it now!
At Xuandu City, countless divine thunders of divine punishment came across the sky, drowning the black phoenix and all the innate gods and demons at the same time.
On a normal day, the total amount of these divine thunders would not pose much of a threat to Daluo Jinxian-level masters.
But at this moment, these divine thunders of divine punishment are just right.
Just enough to beat Kunpeng to the brink of death, just enough to kill most of the remaining innate gods and demons, and just enough time for the Taoist immortals to evade in a hurry.
Before the hole in the sky and the earth, the black phoenix was riddled with holes and seemed to have lost its life.
The corpses of nearly five hundred innate gods and demons were suspended quietly, like fairy islands with terrifying shapes...
Taoist Duobao murmured: "It's broken."
call!
A ball of purple-black flame bloomed from the forehead of the dark phoenix.
Balls of flames bloomed from the corpses of these innate gods and demons.
Dozens of Taoist masters reacted almost instantly and flew towards the forehead of the dark phoenix.
but……
when--
A bell rang strangely from the Sea of Chaos.
In the eyes of the Taoist immortals, the flames everywhere were beating so fast that it almost seemed like they were twitching!
Balls of flames were as fast as streams of light, and merged into the body of the dark phoenix. The body of the dark phoenix expanded rapidly, and an extremely powerful and rising aura overwhelmed the Taoist immortals.
It’s almost like the realm of a great saint!
The sound of the bell came and disappeared strangely, and the Taoist masters who rushed forward flew to the left and right at the same time.
A golden flame rolled in, sending these masters flying!
"Hahahahahaha!"
Kunpeng's laughter resounded to the edge of the world.
The giant phoenix has a wingspan of tens of thousands of miles, and its neck, the edges of its wings, and its feet have all turned into dark gold.
The Dinghai Divine Pearl cannot suppress it, and the Great Seal of Fantian cannot suppress it!
The giant phoenix that appeared in front of me was more than a hundred times more powerful than the spiritual power Kunpeng had when he was at his peak!
Five hundred great innate gods and demons!
Suddenly, Kunpeng's laughter stopped abruptly and turned into a painful roar.
"Maitreya... Maitreya, what did you do to me... ah, ah! It wasn't you... ah! You can't control me!"
The Phoenix suddenly bled, and billowing flames erupted from its body. Cracks appeared in its extremely powerful body, and strange sculptures popped out from the cracks. The originally graceful body swelled to an extremely bloated figure!
Five hundred great gods and demons failed to fully fuse with him!
Nearly five hundred avenues are in conflict with each other!
Attacks came from the void, but they were unable to shake the huge phoenix. The phoenix roared loudly and fluttered its wings directly towards the location of the prehistoric lord of heaven and earth.
"I will die with you! Die together!"
Taoist Duobao's mouth twitched crazily and shouted: "Quick! Retreat from the Lord of Heaven and Earth! He can smash the Lord of Heaven and Earth to pieces!"
The edge of heaven.
The illusion of inner heaven.
The smile on Taoist Hongjun's lips disappeared inadvertently, he raised his hand and pointed at the spirit in the coffin, and said coldly:
