Xianye

Chapter 434: Fires Burning the Mountain

In the Gelu of Xiping, there are six major forces, namely Lingying Temple, Yunci Cave, Qifang Kingdom, Xuanjing Sect, Tongxu Mountain and Tuanyang Kingdom led by Ban Su.

These six forces all have immortal spirits or martial arts masters residing in the world. Although there are conflicts and disputes among them, no one can swallow up the other with overwhelming force.

In addition, there was a True Lord Fanxu behind Bo Lu who was suppressing him secretly and shocking the heaven and earth. Therefore, although there were many minor fights among the six parties, they managed to maintain a balanced situation.

Among these six families, Lingying Temple was the most powerful and the leader of the Gelu Yuchen Taoist lineage.

During its heyday, Lingying Temple had three Yuanshen ancestors who were from the orthodox immortal way. They dominated the southwest and looked down upon Gelu. Even the Earth God of Bolu could not despise them!

In fact, in most lands, there are very few sects like Lingying Temple that still adhere to the orthodox immortal path.

Compared with the land and the sky, not only are there huge differences between the realms, but the inspiration, products, etc. are also very different.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to raise a dragon in shallow water.

Most of the world in the Yang world has been changed by the great powers of the great and virtuous people who rule over it.

There is never a shortage of any great medicine or inspiration in the universe. It is just that due to excessive collection, there is a shortage of certain external objects. However, under the nourishment of great power, those external objects will soon be born.

But this is not the case with land and space.

Not to mention that the two are relatively lacking in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making it difficult to produce various precious medicines.

Even if they are lucky enough to grow out, once one is used, it is also gone, and it will be difficult to restore it to its original state.

However, Lingying Temple remained steadfast under such circumstances and became the overlord of Gelu. In the eyes of outsiders, this was truly a blessing from luck.

However, after the two ancestors of the Yuanshen died of old age, leaving only Wang Yun to support the temple alone, the Lingying Temple finally came to an end.

First, Ban Su was accepted as a disciple by Cui Ju, and he took a further step in martial arts, which surprised many parties and caused undercurrents to emerge.

Then, Ban Su, relying on the support of the troops from Zhenwu Mountain, launched an attack with such force that he forced Lingying Temple into a desperate situation.

Under Ban Su's fierce power, the other five families were in a difficult situation and had to find a way out.

The Xuanjing Sect and Ban Su had a feud that was difficult to resolve, but after some hesitation, the two sides finally signed an alliance to fight against Ban Su together when Wang Yun personally visited them to show his sincerity.

Qi Fangguo did not dare to resist and was willing to be a vassal of Tuanyang State and be commanded by Ban Su.

As for Tongxu Mountain, this sect also has a history. The ancestor of the sect seems to be from a major clan in the Three Worlds Heaven.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the ancestor of Tongxu Mountain simply fled into the sky with his disciples and left the mountain gate to Ban Su.

Now there is only one Yunci Cave. Although this sect is not as powerful as the other five sects, the ancestor of the sect, Cai Qing, is a remarkable man and knows quite a few tricks.

It is rumored that Cai Qing once practiced in the Datian Sect when he was young, but for some unknown reason, after he achieved the elixir, he returned to Gelu, which aroused a lot of suspicion at the time.

Before Ban Su launched the rebellion, there were already many old grudges and frictions among the Gelu factions.

Gan Yi, a Taoist priest in blue robe, is the leader of the Divine Fire Sect. In the past, when Bolu was fighting for treasure, he was severely deceived by Cai Zhang several times, so he has always held a grudge against him.

Now Cai Zhang has gone and never returned, and Yunciku is connecting the various Western sects, and there are hidden movements.

This gave Gan Yi an excuse to teach Cai Zhang a lesson!
Now that Gan Yi has stepped forward, it seems like he has exposed something.

All the Taoists in Gelu stood up, some defending Yunci Ku and some supporting Gan Yi, and there was a sudden noise.

When Wang Yun saw this scene, he said nothing, but just twirled his beard and smiled, as if he remembered something.

Soon, seeing the palace servants striking the big bell hanging outside the hall, the arguing cultivators were startled and stood in silence with their hands lowered, not daring to argue anymore.

"The general trend..."

Chen Heng smiled: "Just now Sect Master Gan mentioned the great situation of Gelu. What is the great situation?"

Wang Yun stood up first, bowed his head and saluted, then said with a smile: "Since the Immortal came down to the mortal world, we have recovered all the lost lands, expanded the territory for thousands of miles, and shocked all directions. The Qifang Kingdom was captured, and many ugly people died. When the Immortal's magic carriage moves, the land and water advance, the wind and thunder stir, the grass and trees also know the name, and women and children all know the surname!

Despite Ban Su's ferocity in causing chaos in Ge Lu, he could only hide in Beiping Mountain, feeling uneasy and anxious.

Now, there are nearly a hundred golden elixirs and three primordial spirits in the hall, all of whom obey the immortal's orders and allow him to command them.

As for the general trend, the general trend of the real person is the general trend of Ge Lu!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the cultivators in the hall were extremely excited and immediately clapped their hands in praise.

While Yao Chu agreed, he couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart.

His ancestor had always been upright, and this was the first time he had seen him like this...

"Fortunately, Master Cai Zhang is not here, otherwise it would not be the ancestor's turn to say this." Yao Chu said inwardly.

"Master Wang, what you said is too much. It is not my turn to seize Ge Lu's power, at least not yet."

Chen Heng glanced up at the sky and spoke calmly:
“Cui Ju is not an ordinary person. Even before he turned to martial arts, he was already valued by the Youque Dragon God of Zhenwu Mountain, who secretly gave him his own Yuanzhen blood to help him shave his hair and cleanse his marrow.

After arriving at Zhenwu Mountain, Cui Ju broke through 24 golden locks in one day, which was on par with the record of the contemporary Taoist priests of Zhenwu Mountain. If he had not joined the sect too late, the position of the Taoist priest of Zhenwu Mountain would have been even more controversial.

Cui Ju achieved enlightenment before me, and his cultivation is also higher than mine. If I want to defeat him, I am not completely sure."

After Chen Heng finished speaking, he paused, his eyes looking deep:

"Now, among the six Gelu clans, Tongxu Mountain has been eliminated, Xuanjing and I are allies, and only Yunci Cave is still wavering. I don't care whether this sect can surrender or not. As long as he can stabilize the Western sects and prevent them from causing chaos, I will remember this favor.

There is no need to discuss the matter of Cai Zhang any further. If this man is really a smart man, he will not let me down.

The most important thing at the moment is to break through the magic circle on Beiping Mountain as soon as possible and block their way!"

The magic formation in Beiping Mountain is called Tufu Zhimei Bianjing Formation.

It clings to the veins of Beiping Mountain and is remotely connected to another Class A and Class B alchemy formation in Tuanyang Country, forming a chain that is extremely difficult to break.

Even if we look at the vast Xiping area, it is ranked among the top three in the world!
However, with the soldiers attacking day and night, it was only a matter of time before the formation was broken.

In the view of Yao Chu and others, as long as the Xuanjing Sect could free up their hands, they could break through Beiping Mountain and achieve their goal in one go.

As the cultivators in the hall bowed and agreed, after a while, there was a loud explosion in the distance, and the sound could be heard for a hundred miles.

He looked around with his French eyes and saw that the people in his own camp were bustling with noise and everyone was cheering with joy.

When the sight crossed the Tutong River, it seemed that a corner of Beiping Mountain on the opposite side of the river had collapsed out of thin air, with thick smoke filling the ground and flashes of light.

Hundreds of streams of earth energy were no longer restrained by the magic circle and gushed out violently, swirling like wind and fire, suddenly dispersing the strong wind above the clouds, turning everything into a muddy yellow!
……

……

same moment.

In a secret place hundreds of miles away from the Black Whale Sect, on a tall stone altar.

As Shen Cheng clapped his hands, a whistling sound came from under the altar, and an invisible light expanded again, mixing with the spiritual energy in the sky, turning into the ink-black color of calamity water, and poured into a cave.

As the water moved, a roar like that of a lion or tiger came from the cave, and a scorching heat wave rushed out, igniting the surface of the earth.

Even Shen Cheng, who was far away on the stone altar, felt his face slightly hot, as if he was in the depths of a fire spring. If a mortal were here, he would have been burned to ashes long ago.

After half an hour, the heat wave slowly returned to the cave.

Even though Shen Cheng's elixir was of top quality and his magic power was extremely strong, he was still a little tired. He took out a piece of Zhengyang Zhensha and began to regulate his breathing.

In fact, there are a total of sixteen such altars and thirty-two underground caves. They were specially set up by the founder of the Black Whale Sect to suppress the fire demon in the ground that has taken shape and gained intelligence.

Long ago in Gelu, there was a great monster that wreaked havoc on the world, feeding on the flesh and blood of all living things and wreaking havoc on hundreds of sects. It was the True Lord Fanxu from Bolu who came across the sea and, after a fierce battle, finally killed the monster with his powerful magic power, thus returning peace to Gelu.

However, the big demon was gifted with extraordinary talents. A bit of its scattered spirit sneaked into the deep earth's crust and swallowed the fire essence to nourish itself. After thousands of years, that bit of spirit gradually gathered into a fire evil, and began to wreak havoc on the world again.

The previous generation Yuanshen ancestor of the Xuanjing Sect called on his friends and smashed the Fire Demon's body into pieces. He also painstakingly set up sixteen altars and thirty-two caves, coordinating the two, hoping to use the righteousness of heaven and earth to eliminate the remaining filth and refine the Fire Demon's remains into a large pill.

When Ban Su attacked the Xuanjing Sect last time, he saw that the sect had a strict formation and it was not easy to take it down.

This person simply forced his way into this secret place, destroyed several altars, and left a part of his troops to slowly besiege the place, causing chaos both inside and outside the place, which really made the Xuanjing Sect extremely anxious.

Although Shen Cheng and Wei Yuanzhong led the troops to relieve the siege of the Xuanjing Sect, the Xuanjing Sect was short of manpower due to the destruction of the altar.

After consulting Chen Heng, the two of them stayed here to help the Xuanjing Sect clean up this mess.

After a while, Shen Cheng slowly opened his eyes.

He stood up, looked around, and uttered a light "hmm".

The altar here is arranged in a unique formation, and there are certain considerations on when the host should draw out the energy and light in the altar and how to irrigate the cave.

After counting on his fingers, he knew that the other altar should have been activated long ago, but at this time, there was still no movement from that place.
This made Shen Cheng feel uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

He waved his sleeves and flew up with the wind. Soon, he saw a red and dry mountain in the distance.

The barren mountain was covered with smoke, the beams and rafters were broken, and the altar had long been broken in two.

A very beautiful female cultivator was lying on the ground.

The man's lower body had turned into bloody mud. It was obvious that he had not even escaped from his soul before he died suddenly and tragically.

"not good!"

Shen Cheng was shocked.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, a ten-zhang-long energy force pierced through the strong wind, like a flash of lightning, making it difficult for people to react!
This time the news came in time, and fortunately Shen Cheng had been secretly cautious in his heart, and quickly turned his head, thus narrowly avoiding the attack.

The next moment——

The sound of the bowstrings vibrating became one and the same, as if someone had fired hundreds of bows in an instant!
Lines of energy spanned the sky, cold and fierce, as dense as rain, and actually knocked Shen Cheng down from the clouds and made him fall to the ground!

Suddenly, sand and dust flew up, and within a radius of several dozen feet, there were potholes and a mess. "You are..."

Shen Cheng waved his hand, summoning a circle of green light to protect his body. He raised his head, murderous intent surging in his eyes.

In his sight, he saw the strong wind part, and a tall and strong young man wearing a white dragon armor was walking towards him.

He held a huge bow in his hand, but there was no arrow on the string. There was no quiver around his waist, but two talismans strung together with a black silk ribbon.

"Master Song, Master Ding..."

Shen Cheng's pupils shrank. The talisman on the man's waist was made by the previous ancestor of the Xuanjing Sect. It was to make it easier for the holder to operate the altar. He and Wei Yuanzhong also had one each.

Now the talisman has fallen into the hands of this strange man.

This also means that the Song and Ding masters stationed at the other two altars may have met with misfortune...

"The third."

The young man stretched out his hand slightly, and not far from the female corpse, a talisman rose into the sky from the ruins of the altar. He held it in his palm and tied it around his waist.

“There aren’t many ownerless medicines in Xiping Land that are worth my effort. Apart from the hard-to-find Heavenly Grass, there is only this Fire Demon in the cave.

Ban Su said that this monster was the essence of a dead Tai Sui. Tai Sui is a powerful medicine. What's more, the Tai Sui can fight against the immortal Fan Xu Zhenjun, which makes it an even rarer treasure.

As the saying goes, if you don't take what heaven gives you, you will suffer the consequences. I will accept this fire demon."

A faint voice sounded from the cloud, and the young man looked at Shen Cheng with bright eyes:
"By the way, my name is Cui Ju, and I am the true disciple of Zhenwu Mountain. You can survive under my bow, so you must be Yuchen's man, what a coincidence.

Now that you know my identity, how can you…"

Cui Ju lightly plucked the bowstring with his fingers, and a clear sound like a dragon's roar sounded and spread in the clouds.

He smiled slightly and said calmly:
"Master, why don't you run away?"

……

……

Dust and rain were flying around, and gloomy clouds covered the sky, making the view everywhere turbid, as if the day had been lost!

Cui Ju raised his fist, blasting the attacking magnificent mirror light into thousands of fragments, then he opened his left palm and calmly protected his chest, precisely holding the golden hammer that Wei Yuanzhong was smashing with all his might.

"How?!"

Wei Yuan felt a sinking feeling in his heart and a chill on his back.

With his full effort, not to mention the body of flesh and blood, even an iron mountain would be shattered into pieces!
But Cui Ju not only blocked it easily, but his own golden hammer also made a "cracking" sound under the force of Cui Ju's five fingers, as if it was about to be crushed to pieces, and the spiritual light disappeared!
In shock, Wei Yuanzhong hurriedly pulled the golden hammer back, intending to withdraw first and then look for another opportunity to fight. However, after the tremendous force was exerted, it was like a drop in the ocean, and the golden hammer did not move at all.

"Are you worthy enough to wrestle with me?"

Cui Ju sneered and said:
"fall!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone around them felt a splitting headache.

In a trance, everyone seemed to see a great god with golden light all over his body, his left arm hanging down holding a knife, and his right hand holding a fire bell. He looked angry and suddenly appeared in their heart and violently rushed into their own purple palace.

The great god opened his eyes and shouted:
"fall!"

Wei Yuanzhong groaned, and as the first person to be hit, he flew backwards involuntarily.

Apart from Shen Cheng who just looked pale, the other two Xuanjing Sect masters who had also come to besiege him after hearing the news were even more miserable. They vomited blood as soon as they opened their mouths, and stars appeared in their eyes. For a moment, they could hardly stabilize their magic power.

"Why hasn't the Black Whale Sect's ancestor come yet?"

After Wei Yuanzhongqiang froze his body in mid-air, he hurriedly took out a jade ring and threw it in response.

He glanced around hurriedly, but only saw the remaining masters of the Black Whale Sect fighting with the same group of Dayu warriors. They rushed left and right, but no one could come to help, and the situation became worse.

In fact, this place where the Fire Evil is sealed is not far from the main gate of the Xuanjing Sect.

Logically speaking, after such a commotion, the Yuanshen Patriarch of the Black Whale Sect should have come to help, but now...

"Since I came here in person, I have naturally made all the necessary arrangements. Although I can't be trapped for too long, this little time is enough for me to kill all of you."

As if seeing through Wei Yuan's thoughts, Cui Ju chuckled, smashed the jade ring to pieces, and then smashed it down with another punch!
This blow was like a dragon turning over and mountains collapsing!
The fist light penetrated the sky and earth. No matter whether it was the magic weapon that Shen Cheng sacrificed or the magical powers used by the two real people of Xuanjing Sect, they were all pushed away by the fist light. Even Cui Ju, who was within three feet of his body, could not get close to it.

"You guys hurry up!"

A sense of danger surged through his heart, and Shen Cheng hurriedly shouted at the two Xuanjing Sect masters.

He hurriedly raised his sleeves, and two rays of light, one black and one white, leaped out. But before they collided, Cui Ju looked at him, and a frosty sharp light suddenly shot out from his eyes.

The black and white rays of light immediately turned into smoke and disappeared after being illuminated by this. Shen Cheng's Liujiayoushenqi was easily broken before it could be used.

While Shen Cheng was being attacked by the secret technique, Cui Ju took a step and in the blink of an eye he arrived in front of a broad-faced and square-mouthed master of the Xuanjing Sect.

He formed a seal with his five fingers and pushed forward evenly. He actually turned the real person into bloody mud through his protective robes!
Just as the other real person showed fear on his face, Cui Ju pointed his finger and the real person suddenly felt the world turn upside down, his limbs were out of control, as if he had gained intelligence and wanted to escape from this body.

With this sudden change, the immortal's magic power was naturally disrupted and his mind was lost. Even Shen Cheng and Wei Yuanzhong were affected and their movements slowed down by several beats.

Cui Ju's figure flashed, and when he reappeared, he had moved a hundred feet away from his original position.

Behind him, a headless corpse swayed slightly, then fell to the ground with its head tilted upside down, without any breath left.

Between the electric light and flint.

The two real masters of their own Xuanjing Sect had already died miserably.

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, even with Shen Cheng's temperament, his face couldn't help but darken, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult this time..."

Shen Cheng sighed inwardly and secretly crushed a communication talisman that Chen Heng had sent him in advance. He performed spells repeatedly and a clear light suddenly appeared on his head. Two magical instruments, the silver drum and the thunder and fire gourd, flew out of it. At the same time, he exhaled a breath of green air, and green wood broke through the ground and grew wildly, entangled towards the opposite side.

Wei Yuanzhong spat out a mouthful of blood from the tip of his tongue, and golden mist burst out from his armor. The figure of a giant elephant was looming in the mist.

The man just took a step forward, and his body pierced through the sky, and he rushed towards Cui Ju!

Dust flew up and the peaks shook, as if a raging fire was rising into the sky and burning the whole area red.

Even though Shen Cheng and Wei Yuanzhong tried their best, they still failed to hurt Cui Ju at all.

Even while being besieged, this man still had time to take out his longbow, pluck the string lightly, and shot and killed another Xuanjing Sect master who was struggling with a Dayu warrior.

By this time, the Xuanjing Sect had already lost six real people, with heavy casualties.

"If you delay, something bad will happen. That's it."

After mowing down a tract of green wood with one strike, Cui Ju was unwilling to delay any longer. A large flag rose up behind his head, growing taller against the wind and rising straight into the clouds, emitting circles of water-like mysterious light that blocked Shen Cheng's silver drum and thunder and fire gourd.

Shen Cheng was about to make a hand gesture when he suddenly felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows and blood came out of his mouth and nose.

It turned out that Cui Ju used the soul attack method again and injured him.

At this moment, Wei Yuanzhong suddenly felt a chill down his spine. In his sight, he saw Cui Ju's five fingers blooming like lotus flowers, and in a moment, a strange mark was formed and extended towards him.

It was as if hundreds of balls of lightning and fire exploded in Wei Yuan's internal organs, and his muscles and bones were broken and he vomited blood.

The Xiangyao armor, which was built under the supervision of Lingbao Palace and had accompanied him in battles for hundreds of years, was of no use in defending against the enemy. Fortunately, he had a life-protecting talisman with him, so Wei Yuanzhong did not end up like the previous Xuanjing Sect master, whose body was turned into mud and died tragically.

"A divine general who protects Yuchen can survive my attack of the Wall Seal. His muscles and bones are not bad at all."

Cui Ju raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled in his heart, but his hands did not slow down at all. He stretched out his five fingers and pinched the seal again.

At this critical moment, a ray of clear light lifted up Wei Yuanzhong who had fallen to the ground. At the same time, a strange phenomenon occurred. It was clearly daytime, but there seemed to be twinkling stars shining through the clouds, like snowflakes drifting in the wind.

A bolt of lightning pierced through the air at an extremely fast speed!
One of the four Yuchen thunders——Beidou Ganglei!
The thunder hit Cui Ju's hand which was holding the seal. With a loud bang, it submerged him in thousands of bright sparks, stirred up heavy smoke and dust, and caused the ground to crack.

But after a while, a gust of wind from a fist tore through the dust barrier, and Cui Ju leaped high into the sky.

Although the skin on his left arm was slightly broken, his blood and energy flowed and his skin regenerated. It was obvious that taking Shen Cheng's Big Dipper Thunder was not a big injury to him.

"The Four Thunders of Yuchen have been famous for a long time, but now it seems that they are just so-so."

Cui Ju thought to himself as he looked at the receding backs of Shen Cheng and Wei Yuanzhong. He finally took out an arrow as black as ink, put it on the string, and stretched out his arms, making a clanging sound!

Almost at the same moment, a bright light suddenly appeared in the distance.

Then a streak of purple lightning came rushing across, as if a gap had opened in the sky, and hit Cui Ju directly with the force of destroying mountains and shaking hills. The explosion was as huge and majestic as the collapse of the sky, and it pressed him down from the clouds!

The peaks were immediately smashed through, rocks flew everywhere, and trees fell down!

This movement not only surprised the Xuanjing Sect's real person and those Dayu warriors, but also made Shen Cheng hurriedly suppress his escape light. He and Wei Yuanzhong looked at each other, and a figure appeared in their minds.

"Cui Ju."

There was a voice coming from far away in the sky.

As soon as this voice came out, Shen Cheng felt relieved.

He hurriedly looked down at the clouds, and at this moment, an extremely strong blood energy suddenly rose up from the sky, like a dragon roaring, with scorching air waves and stirring up a storm.

Cui Ju walked out slowly among the countless rubble and cracks in the rocks. The white dragon armor on his body was shining with auspicious light, making him look like a god descended to the earth, extremely heroic.

Cui Ju casually stretched out his hand and brushed away the non-existent dust on his shoulders.

He looked up at the sky, his eyes sparkling, his fighting spirit high and majestic, and a smile slowly appeared on his face:
"Chen Heng!"
