Chapter 1312 Guanyuan (Bonus Chapter for 100,000 Subscriptions)

Is anyone there?

The two enormous golden figures froze in the sky, while the tiny figure trapped between them, like a precious pearl, was overjoyed at the unexpected turn of events. Sima Yuanli had never been so delighted by the appearance of a fellow cultivator. Since spiritual awareness was limited here, he immediately activated his divine powers, his voice booming:

"Please, fellow Daoist, come to my rescue!"

These words were completely consumed by the rays of light, echoing weakly amidst the turbulent currents. Suddenly, Ren Shi Jia's figure emitted a dazzling light, and crimson patterns appeared on his Dharma body, quickly converging into the shape of jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards!

In an instant, a beam of light shot up like a golden lightning bolt, piercing through the river and rushing toward the man's face!

Ren Shi Jia was hailed as the protector of the Great Desire Path, and his status was on par with that of Zhi Tu Maha Xiao Di Sa. Back then, before Que Li Yu left the pass, their status was only below Tian Lang Zhi, so naturally they each had their own abilities.

Ren Shi Jia himself was highly intelligent, and the golden patterns on his body incorporated various immortal elements, showing his sincerity. Back when he was still Lian Min, he sought guidance from various high-level cultivators in Dayang Mountain. Whether it was Jin Lian or Bei Gu, these cultivators who were quite accomplished in the immortal path had all discussed the Dao with him back then.

Now, after years of refinement, its power is extremely terrifying, and with his junior brother by his side, he naturally dares to despise the White Qilin who is currently enjoying great popularity!

Not satisfied with that, he slammed down with his other golden hand, aiming straight for Sima Yuanli and the other man!

The light of the Dharma Protector Maha suddenly soared into the sky, finally obscuring the bright radiance that had been shining brightly. In a flash, a radiant land of light unfolded on the ground, with lotuses blooming, temples standing in rows, and various colors enveloping the figure within.

Then came countless golden palaces, with incense burning continuously and candle wax spilling like waterfalls, spreading across the dark Xuan Mountains. In the very center stood a huge figure with the body of a jackal and the head of a wolf, its fangs bared, its face benevolent, sitting at the head of the table, looking down at the figure in black.

For a moment, it seemed as if there were countless angry shouts, golden statues glaring, layer upon layer:
"You beast! Kneel..."

Before the sound could even rang out in the air, the black-clad youth had already vanished. The enormous figure with the body of a jackal and the head of a wolf had not yet opened or closed its lips, but its left fist, covered in golden patterns, had already appeared before its chin!

"Boom!"

The intense sunlight poured out like a flood, and the illusory, enormous figure seemed to have been struck by a behemoth dozens of times its own size. With half a word still in its mouth, its head was suddenly raised high, and shattered marks covered the entire jackal's head as it soared into the air!
At the same time, the entire illusory land that stretched across the sky also shattered!
At the same time, Rensega suddenly spat out a mouthful of golden blood without warning, and fine cracks even appeared in his pupils. He raised his head in horror, his expression changing drastically!

The earthen mound that once spanned the river has disappeared.

All the Buddha temples, the radiance, the lotus flowers filling the sky, and the ancient Shakyamuni with his jackal body were all submerged in endless darkness, a darkness far greater than his Shakyamuni land, spreading from the man's feet to the two enormous golden statues.

In that instant, he seemed not to be in this grotto-heaven, surrounded by the river, but rather standing alone on the desert, in the endless darkness, his calm gaze piercing straight towards us.

The King of Wei did not speak, seemingly indifferent or even contemptuous, but had already arrived by divine power and stood in front of him. The aura of divine power behind him seemed to be soaring into the sky. The huge pupils of Ren Shi Jia's Dharma body were full of gold, reflecting the fist covered with golden patterns.

"Boom!"

Rinchen Rinchen's Dharma body had been refined for seven hundred years. He usually boasted that nothing could hurt him, and he was indeed powerful. However, everything was completely different from what he had expected. His heavy head was like fragile glass that had hit an extremely sharp object. All the cracks burst out in an instant, one after another, piece by piece. It was as if countless colors were rippling in front of Rinchen Rinchen's eyes, obscuring all his vision.

The white qilin's punch struck his brow, causing him to spit out another mouthful of scalding golden blood. He heard his junior brother's excessively terrified voice in his ear:
"you you…"

Sima Yuanli, standing in mid-air, was equally dazed.

'King Wei!'

His heart trembled as if struck by lightning, he could hardly believe what he was seeing, his mind went blank for a moment, and only three words remained.

'Great Master…'

'Great Master!'

Sima Yuanli and Li Zhouwei were of very different ages, but they broke through to the Purple Mansion realm at similar times. For decades, he worked diligently, but he was still only at the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm. In the blink of an eye, Li Zhouwei had already become a Great True Person!
'That's a Great True Person! A divine power beyond divine powers... the lifelong ambition of countless Purple Mansions!'

The Purple Vinegar Pass has always been an insurmountable barrier. Even their own Yuanxiu Zhenren, a prodigy, has struggled against this obstacle for countless years. Sima Yuanli certainly knew that Li Zhouwei would be able to overcome it…

'But there's no way it could be accomplished in the blink of an eye, in two or three years!'

Even if... he is Li Zhouwei... he is Bai Qilin...

The shock surged into his mind, momentarily overshadowing the joy of escaping from a desperate situation, and he stood there somewhat dazed.

On the other end, Xiao Disa's heart sank to the bottom, filled with boundless panic and despair. The light he had gathered to its fullest extent was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the Li Fire from [Southern Emperor Xuanzhi].
'Great Master... Four Supernatural Powers...'

'The White Qilin with Four Supernatural Powers!'

The principle that strength arises from the flourishing of the Mingyang is clear to every cultivator in the North, and Xiao Disa certainly knows what it means for the person before him to have achieved the status of a Great True Person…

'Of all places! Of all places within a grotto!'

Rinchen Rinpoche and Shodhisa have both lost their connection to the Pure Land, and not only do they receive no blessings, but more importantly...

'If I perish here, I will surely die without a burial place, with no chance of return!'

But time doesn't stand still for anyone. In his panic, Xiao Disa only managed to utter two words before he saw the young man turn around, his golden gaze like a sharp sword.

'Bitter! '

Li Zhouwei suddenly turned around, and the Great Rising Halberd, which had been empty in his hand, immediately appeared. The long, curved branch danced, and the halberd suddenly pierced through the sky. Xiao Disa raised the black jar in his hand high, his body radiating light to its fullest extent, and his voice trembled:
"King Wei...King Wei!"

The halberd, bright as a star, pierced through and collided with the black jar with a loud crash. The powerful divine force caused Xiao Disa's golden body to sink. Without the blessing of the earth god, he was temporarily suppressed.

The young man in black—held a halberd in one hand only.

Having cultivated for so long and experienced countless battles, Xiao Disa, a Buddhist practitioner who has survived for so long, must possess an excellent judgment of the situation. In this brief exchange, he has already seen clearly:
'We can't stop him!'

'Outside the cave heaven, things are alright; with our combined strength, things will definitely change. But inside the cave heaven, the two of us are only slightly stronger than the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm. Even before he broke through, he already possessed such power; I might not have been able to suppress him, let alone now…'

Even now, a chill still runs through him:
The question is... just how strong is he right now?

'Let alone the likes of Zhu Kui and Qi Ye, even Chang Xiao and Chi Guang might not be able to suppress him!'

For a fleeting moment, despair welled up in Xiao Disa's heart. Suddenly, he felt his hand loosen, and the bright, radiant earth stubbornly bloomed again in this dark and boundless world. The enormous figure with the body of a jackal and the head of a wolf reappeared, and a voice filled with shock and anger rang out:

"Junior brother, I'm here to help you!"

This illusory form with the body of a jackal and the head of a wolf is, after all, the Great Dao that the Sixth Incarnation of Maha had cultivated for hundreds of years. It was already remarkable that it could still manifest after suffering a heavy blow, and even tried to gain a foothold on the 'Crimson Arrowhead'!
For a moment, Xiaodisa seemed to see a glimmer of hope for escape, and joy shone in his eyes:

'Yes... just hold on a little longer, just a little longer...'

But the young man in black had an unusual look of disgust on his face. His golden eyes were extremely domineering and looked down at him. Finally, his cold voice was heard.

"You dare to play such tricks in front of me, Your Majesty."

In that instant, the gleaming halberd finally disappeared, and a bright crimson flashed on the horizon, like the tears of an emperor and the blood of the common people, drawing back the curtain on a chaotic world and cutting the dark sky in two.

'It's that bloody light...it's that bloody light...'

Xiao Diza remembered everything.

Gongsun Bei perished under this technique!
The scene of blood filling the sky was no different from any other, but Li Zhouwei was now even stronger.

Xiao Disa, who had once watched with a smile and indifference, now finally understood the despair under this technique. Instead of fleeing the moment the supernatural power was broken, he went all out, using all his supernatural abilities to transmit his voice:
"Invincible!"

The massive figure with the body of a jackal and the head of a wolf froze in place for a moment.

Renshiga's body also froze like a fossil, and bright tears of blood flowed from his eyes.

too fast.

Mingyang's suppression and Li Zhouwei's extraordinary supernatural abilities—whether magic or supernatural powers—left them almost no time to build up their power, preventing these two Sixth Incarnations of Maha, who had left the Buddhist realm, from ever having a chance to offer any effective resistance.

"Boom!"

A violent surge of energy attempted to rise and spread in all directions. Xiao Disa's desperate attack with the black jar was blocked by a hand. Sima Yuanli even lost his footing. Amidst the shock to his body and mind, he suddenly saw the white unicorn make a peculiar move.

He first took a step forward, then leaned back and sat down as if floating on air.

"Boom!"

A deep, resonant morning bell rang from afar, its powerful sound carrying intense waves that were concentrated in every inch of the seawater, all vibrations frozen in that instant.

"Emperor Guanyuan".

It was as if a giant hand had swept across, forcibly smoothing out all the aura and fluctuations. Shouts of "Long live the King!" came from nowhere, resounding in everyone's ears. Invisible golden light flowed, and a huge, majestic and ferocious throne gradually appeared, allowing the King of Wei to sit calmly.

As the palace lanterns flickered and the east gradually turned white, Sima Yuanli stood in the same spot, yet it seemed as if thousands of doors and windows opened in response. The gold and black palace doors moved one by one, and heavenly generals in golden armor and robes were lined up in succession. The emperor looked down from above, surveying the universe!
"King Wei!"

Rinchen Rinchen had already collapsed in front of the main hall.

He lay face up, the cracks on his face appearing and disappearing intermittently. The "Gate of Heaven" pressed him firmly to the ground, rendering him unable to move. Bright flames, accompanied by the piercing light of the heavens, crisscrossed Maha's body.

"King Wei!"

The Dharma Protector Maha appeared to be severely injured and unable to move, yet he managed to lift his head and call out:

"King Wei! My fellow disciples and I, in our pursuit of the treasure, have no intention of offending you...King Wei!"

His voice, filled with shock and fear, echoed in the hall. Sima Yuanli stood to the side, his gaze blank. Xiao Disa, who was further away, stared at the hall from afar, his heart filled with boundless dread, as if a thousand thoughts were racing through his mind.

"The Emperor's View of the Yuan Dynasty... is the Emperor's View of the Yuan Dynasty..."

'Go...how do I get there...'

Fear and madness mingled in his eyes. The mighty Master Maha seemed at a loss. The Xuanfu in his hand flickered between light and darkness, as if he were about to sacrifice this famous Buddhist artifact, which he had refined over many years, to save his life!
Amidst this extremely oppressive atmosphere, the king above raised his head, his golden gaze seemingly piercing through the universe, focusing on Xiao Disa. The white qilin raised its hand, placing one hand in front of its lips, making a shushing gesture.

Everything is quiet.

Xiao Diza understood what he meant.

'I might be able to escape if I intervene, but he will definitely kill Renshijia.'

'He will definitely kill... In this hall, he always keeps his word.'

Rinchen's pleas for mercy echoed throughout the hall, but Xiaodisa remained eerily silent. The ritual implement in his hand still shone intermittently, but he made no further move.

"Sima Yuanli!"

Xuan Yin's voice was abrupt. Being in this hall, one felt an inexplicable, terrifying pressure on both body and mind. Sima Yuanli immediately stepped forward and whispered:

"My subordinate is here!"

The King of Wei above quietly said:
"Walk."

This single word, spoken with absolute authority, caused the doors behind the two to slam open, like an endless tunnel leading to the deep, dark waters. Sima Yuanli felt all the terror rapidly receding from him.

"Get as far away as possible, the sooner the better."

The voice gradually faded, and as the last word rang out, he had already sunk into the deep water.

"What happens next is beyond your control."

The sound surrounded him. Sima Yuanli stood still, looking around at everything as if in another world. The terrifying pressure had left the hall, but he suddenly felt uneasy.

'The river...has changed...'

Unaware of Li Zhouwei's supernatural powers, he escaped and found the Dalingchuan River trembling violently, as if the entire world was swirling before his eyes!

"It's river water..."

Every inch of the river water lost its direction, surging wildly upwards, carrying with it pebbles and glass, passing before his eyes. A sense of panic welled up in his heart, and he desperately used his supernatural powers, listening to Yang Xuancai's terrified voice in his ear.

"Below! Fellow Daoist Qinghu!"

Sima Yuanli lowered his head and discovered that there seemed to be a huge creature in the dark river, rushing towards him with an astonishing speed, boundless and terrifyingly large!

"Damn it! Is Dalingchuan even a place for humans to live?!"

Sima Yuanli felt a chill run down his spine. In an instant, he seemed to understand why Chang Yun, a man who always reaped all the benefits, refused to come and instead ran off into the deep, dark waters where unknown dangers lurked.

……

It was overcast and rainy.

The rain in the sky grew heavier, and the river water, which was originally as smooth as refined iron, was now pitted and cratered by the falling raindrops, with waves rising and falling. Faint, sharp cries echoed in the sky, captivating the soul.

The water level rose inch by inch, then foot by foot, surging and turbulent, reflected in the black-clad man's eyes, causing him to take a deep breath and slowly exhale.

'【问参牢】, it's about to rise.'

He stood with his hands behind his back, like a ghost, his eyes fixed on the water's surface, the shadows behind him constantly shifting. After an unknown amount of time, a figure emerged from the clouds.

This man was neatly dressed and had a handsome appearance. He strode over with a smile on his face. The man in black bowed to him and quietly said:

"Senior He Yun!"

Dongfang Heyun smiled and looked at him, saying:

"Yang Gongcao, it's rare that we can meet here again."

The man in black was none other than Yang Gongcao, who had met Xiao Chuting in Jiangnan years ago!
The clerk treated him neither warmly nor coldly, only saying indifferently:
“Indeed rare. There are few northern grotto-heavens where no one from the mountain is sent. Since they don’t send anyone, there is no one to restrain you fellow Daoists, so you can naturally run rampant in the grotto-heavens.”

Dongfang Heyun said:

"Our attitude towards 'Kanshui' is the same whether we're on the mountain or in the sea. Since this one from 'Kanshui' has come, there's no need for them to take action. Why send anyone? But... we both agree, so we can only ask Youming to do it."

"No grievance."

Yang Gongcao sneered:
“I, Youming, am not interested in ‘Kan Shui’.”

His focused gaze remained fixed on the surging river, as if waiting for something, and he said softly:

"We want the true spirits of Da Lingchuan and Xiao Chuting. As long as you provide these two benefits and don't interfere with our affairs, you can do whatever you want with them."

"That's it, the distribution is complete!"

Dongfang Heyun smiled enigmatically, and together they lowered their heads to watch the churning water. Something as black as ink was slowly rising to the surface, gradually approaching the water's surface.

"Boom!"

Bright thunder roared across the sky, and the pitch-black, endless black platform finally broke through the water!

The platform, as if forged from black iron, was pitch black and occupied most of the river surface. It stretched along the river as if it were boundless. Looking down from where the two were, the platform finally began to curve slightly.

As the platform rose, the black iron pillars of varying lengths on the side gradually revealed themselves. They were made of an unknown material and emitted a faint, mysterious light. They had no trace of supernatural power, yet they exuded a dangerous aura that made people's eyes sting. One supernatural power after another rushed past, and after an unknown amount of time, the black bottom finally emerged.

An endless waterfall cascaded down from between these dark pillars, and what rose from the bottom of the water was a circular, dark prison!

The entire Dalingchuan River is circular, with endlessly swirling rivers flowing through it, and the so-called "Questioning Prison" is a massive, circular prison that rises along the inner wall of the Dalingchuan River...

Dongfang Heyun's gaze was not surprised; he quickly looked away and stared strangely into the distance.

There, the sky was shrouded in swirling clouds and the rain poured down like a waterfall. An old man in a straw raincoat, carrying a fishing rod on his shoulder, was walking down the mountain. His supernatural powers in the water were earth-shattering, as if he were about to break through the clouds and mist.

'Xiao Chuting!'

This person is different from when he came. I don't know what benefits he has gained in the cave, but his aura is even more amazing. On the other side of his waist, there is a small cauldron with a bright bronze color that is captivating!
In that instant, the entire world seemed to sense his aura and tilted towards him, with all sorts of colors rushing in, as if sweeping over with boundless power.

As a Great True Man Xiao Chuting who had perfected the Five Ancient Water Divine Powers, he clearly received unprecedented blessings in this place called [Da Ling Tian], truly reaching the peak of his divine power!

This great master, standing proudly in the sky, still had people who dared to quietly block his way!
This man, dressed in black with a fair complexion, looked towards Xiao Chuting from afar. A hint of regret flashed across his brows. He clasped his hands together and said:

"Fellow Daoist Xiao."

Xiao Chuting was in no hurry to make a move, but simply watched him quietly. The monk said softly:

"There is something I must take from the [Questioning Prison]. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist, to allow me to enter and retrieve it later."

The old man gave a faint smile:
"Appreciate further details."

Kong Shu paused briefly, then repeated the proclamation, speaking softly:
“Back then, my predecessor in the Dao, the Great Master Guanhe of Jieyudi, sought enlightenment and surrendered willingly. He was captured by the lord and kept in Dalingchuan. He meditated on the treasure in prison. Later, he died for some unknown reason, and the Dharma Pool Golden Land was lost from then on.”

“I believe that the Great Master Guanhe has calculated that there should be relics left in the prison.”

Xiao Chuting said quietly:
"Immortals and monks each have their own desires; fellow Daoist, you have asked the wrong person."

The moment his voice fell, several golden figures appeared out of thin air in the distance within Kong Shu's sight, spanning the sky, seemingly forming an encirclement to trap Kong Shu first!

Meanwhile, Xiao Chuting, standing opposite him, also had the flickering firelight and surging, unpredictable female fluids on his face, as he listened to the earth-shattering laughter coming from the sky:
"Xiao Chuting, it's been a long time!"

Although the voice was laughing, there was a hint of gritted teeth in it. The raging fire soared through the sky, burning away all the endless dark clouds and occupying a piece of the world on its own!
It is indeed Tian Que!

He was a Great True Man, cultivating the True Fire Dao lineage. Despite being suppressed by this world, he still maintained a blazing momentum, clearly demonstrating that his supernatural powers were extremely advanced. Behind him stood several Golden One True Men, each with a different expression, but most of them had complex emotions.

'Xiao Chuting…'

Jin Yi has few misjudgments or misjudgments. Xiao Chuting is one of them. Whether it's Tian Que, Tian Huo, or even Tian Yuan who has been dead for a long time, apart from Qiu Shui who is in seclusion and still has some old feelings for the Xiao family, the others have all plotted against him.

But he has made it this far.

Facing this group of Golden One True Men, Xiao Chuting slowly revealed a smile. His expression was enigmatic as he said:

“Jin Yi is different from everyone else, I know that. I owe my success today to your mercy, sir.”

These words made Tian Huo's eyes flicker slightly.

Tian Que remained expressionless, turned to the side, and said:

"Disperse from this battle..."

A hint of regret flashed in the eyes of the seemingly carefree and unrestrained Master, who felt a pang of sadness at not being able to witness this once-in-a-century spectacle of enlightenment, but he had no objection and smiled:

"I will go find Su Yun here. It is very dangerous here. I must not let her get hurt."
