Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 611: Twenty-two Sacred Wars

Outside the gate, inside the reed tent.

One or two hundred immortals and monks were all sitting on cushions looking at the main seat.

The forces within Lupeng are roughly divided into three groups.

First, the disciples of Chen Yunmen plus Nezha and Li Jing’s Nine-Headed Bull Demon King.

This force is also the most powerful and has the largest number of people present, with a total of more than a hundred people.

This does not include the magical soldiers and generals, otherwise the number would be even greater.

Second, there are the immortals in the temple headed by Heima.

For example, there are five sect leaders and some big bosses in the halls, about forty or fifty people.

The weakest sect is Shamanism.

Although there are immortals such as the White Horse God, Qishou, the Heavenly Maiden, Nihe and Xihe, except for four or five of them, the others have not achieved immortality.

The main reason is that Shamanism is too broad and Khitan Shamanism is only a branch.

Although Shamanism has the least number of sacred figures, Qishou and Tiannv, as the ancestor and grandmother of Khitan, have now become the "leaders" and are sitting in the first seat.

Instead, Chen Yun and Heimami's forces sat on the left and right respectively.

Nezha, Li Jing and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King seemed to look down on Shamanism and didn't even look at it.

Chen Yun didn't have such thoughts. He looked at Qishou seriously, wanting to hear what countermeasures the other party had.

Heima Mama, Master Hu San and other immortals have almost the same attitude.

Everyone knows that now is not the time to fight for power.

Only by defeating the sacred defenders of Liyang City could they allow the Khitan army to continue advancing.

Therefore, the most important thing at present is how to face the challenges of tomorrow.

Master Hu San was the first to speak: "Master Qi, tomorrow the gods of Kui and Mao in Liyang City will definitely come out to stop us. What do you think we should do then?"

All the cultivators and immortals looked towards the strange head's face.

Qishou was in mixed feelings at the moment and had no idea how to deal with the situation.

He looked at Nezha, Li Jing and the nine-headed Bull Demon King with some trepidation, not knowing whether he could command them.

Qi Shou took a deep breath and said, "The many star officials of Kui and Pleiades have great magical powers. The only ones in our army who are capable of resisting them are the Third Prince, Li Tianwang and Niu Dawang. Therefore, what I mean is that tomorrow the three of them will take the initiative to challenge each other and strive for a one-on-one match. If the eighteen star officials of Kui and Pleiades unite, our army will definitely not be able to resist them."

Nezha snorted coldly and said, "It's just the twenty-eight constellations. If I hadn't shown my true form in the mortal world, I could have taken care of it by myself."

Chen Yun understood what Nezha meant.

Its body is as big as Mount Sumeru, and it has a thousand arms, holding the sun, moon, and various instruments in its hands.

The individual is so huge that if it really appeared in the mortal world, I am afraid the world would be blown up.

In the Buddhist cosmology, Mount Sumeru is located at the center of the universe, surrounded by the Aral Sea, on which there are four major continents and eight minor continents.

You can imagine how huge Nezha's body is.

Li Jing sighed and said, "If I can use this exquisite and transparent relic Ruyi Golden Pagoda, I won't be afraid of the twenty-eight constellations."

Chen Yun looked at Nezha and smiled.

Because of the "Law of the Top of the Tower", it is basically impossible for Li Jing to use the exquisite and transparent Ruyi Golden Pagoda.

Otherwise, with this pagoda, ordinary celestial beings would not be able to do anything to it.

After all, there are layers of Buddhas on the exquisite and translucent Ruyi Golden Pagoda.

The lowest level of Buddha's cultivation is similar to the celestial realm.

The nine-headed Bull Demon King had always looked down on Qishou and the goddess, so he simply wandered in the void and did not respond at all.

Chen Yun was not one to confuse public and private matters, so he took the initiative to ask, "King Niu, what do you think?"

Niu Pingtian yawned and said, "If there is no Kuimu Wolf, I am not afraid, but this Kuimu Wolf is my natural enemy, he will definitely keep an eye on me at all times, so I am not sure of winning this battle."

The three strongest fighters have expressed their opinions.

Because of various restrictions, they also feel that the probability of defeat tomorrow is greater.

Qishou's face became even uglier, and he looked at Hei Mama, Hu San Taiye and others.

Master Hu San said very bluntly: "My cultivation level is similar to yours. If you feel that you can resist, then I will go into battle with you. But if you feel that you can't win, don't look at me."

Qi Shou was frustrated, so he had to suppress his dissatisfaction and said in a gentle voice: "Heifeng Sect Leader, do you have any solution?"

Mother Hei said, "Although my cultivation level is higher than yours, the gap is too big compared to the twenty-eight constellations. Unless I can invite Changmei Zhenren to come out of seclusion and cooperate with the Third Prince, Li Tianwang and Niu Dawang, there will be some hope. But Changmei Zhenren is in seclusion, so I can't invite him to come out of seclusion."

After all the talk, there was nothing that could be done.

As the "leader of the alliance", this was Qishou's first battle in command.

Seeing that he was on the verge of failure, he felt extremely upset.

For a moment, he couldn't help but look at Chen Yun again, appearing quite aggrieved.

Qi Shou thought to himself that if he had known the situation would be like this today, he would definitely not fight for power, which put him in the dilemma now.

The atmosphere in the reed tent was very depressing. There were clearly more than 200 people there, but not a single sound was heard.

Chen Yun noticed that the atmosphere was very tense. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let the mortal army try to attack the city tomorrow. If the sacred beings of Liyang City come forward to stop the attack, let the Third Prince, Li Tianwang and Niu Dawang come forward to fight. It would be best if they can win, but if they cannot, retreat immediately and I will find another way."

Nezha said, "I'm fine."

Li Jing nodded slightly, "I will obey Mr. Chen's orders."

The Nine-Headed Bull Demon King's attitude towards Chen Yun is completely different from that towards Qishou.

He smiled and said, "Okay, since Master Chen said so, I, Old Niu, will definitely fight to the death."

Chen Yun hurriedly said, "King Niu, there is no need to fight hard, just give it a try. If you feel that you are no match for your opponent, don't hold on, retreat immediately."

The nine-headed Bull Demon King said, "Good."

Originally, the three saints were all making excuses.

As a result, Chen Yun's words immediately made them express their willingness to go into battle.

Such an action made Qishou feel mixed emotions.

He was somewhat happy that Nezha, Li Jing and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King were willing to join the battle, but he was also somewhat helpless because he was clearly the "leader" now, but everyone still only listened to Chen Yun.

Thinking about it, Qi Shou continued to ask: "Master Chen, if the Third Prince, Li Tianwang and Niu Dawang are defeated, what else can you do?"

Chen Yun said: "Maybe we'll ask some fellow Taoists to come and help."

Qi Shou's eyes lit up, "May I ask, sir, who can you invite?"

Hei Mama, Master Hu San and the others all pricked up their ears.

They all knew Chen Yun's identity, that he was a disciple of the orthodox Xuanmen sect, so they naturally wanted to know how powerful the divine helper he would invite would be.

Chen Yun did not say it explicitly, "You will know it then."

It was impossible for Qishou, Heimami, Hu Santaiye and others to get to the bottom of the matter, so they had to give up.

After discussing the matter, everyone returned to their tents to recuperate and prepare for tomorrow's battle.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The people in Liyang City seemed to have expected that the Khitan army would be the first to attack the city. Kui Mulang, the Pleiades star official, the great general Zhao Da and other sacred men were afraid that the Later Jin army could not resist, so they came out first to challenge the enemy.

At that time, Chen Yun, Qishou, Heima and others had just arrived at the central military camp and had not had time to talk to the commander-in-chief Zhao Yanshou.

Suddenly, nineteen long rainbows appeared in the sky above Liyang City.

It turned out that the eighteen star officials plus General Zhao Da took the initiative to go out of the city to challenge the Khitan sacred force.

For a moment, the whole world was filled with auspicious light, and the fragrance of incense filled the air.

The Kui Mu Wolf stepped on the auspicious cloud, put his hands behind his back and said loudly: "In ancient times, there were generals fighting on the battlefield. Today, I see many sacred ones in the Khitan army. I am happy to see the prey, so I came with the Pleiades and our star officials to challenge you. Do any of you dare to fight with us?"

Chen Yun, Zhao Yanshou and other immortals and mortals all looked towards the "leader".

Qishou's face changed slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and patted the white horse under him.

Suddenly, colorful clouds gathered and surged from the four hooves of the white horse, carrying a man and a horse into the air.

Qi Shou responded loudly: "Star officials, you eighteen star officials plus General Zhao Da, are you trying to use your numbers to bully the few?"

Kuimu Lang laughed and said, "We, the Twenty-Eight Constellations and the Sixty Jiazi, have always fought together. Today, if you send one person, we will have nineteen to deal with you. Even if you send ten thousand people, it will still be the same."

I have to say that Kuimulang is very good at speaking. With just one sentence, he eliminated the despicable act of "using the majority to bully the minority".

Qi Shou was just trying to see if he could outwit the other party in a one-on-one fight. Seeing that the other party was determined to send out all 19 sacred gods, he was too lazy to say anything more. According to the plan made yesterday, he responded: "In this case, our army will certainly not fail to make a statement. Third Prince, Li Tianwang, and Niu Dawang, please go and meet the 19 sacred gods."

"Here."

"Follow military orders."

Nezha, Li Jing and the nine-headed Bull Demon King responded and flew to the battlefield using their own abilities.

Nezha transformed into a beam of fire and was the first to arrive before the nineteen saints, standing proudly.

Chen Yun looked carefully and found that Nezha had a pair of fire wheels on his feet, a halberd appeared in his hand, and the Naga belt also became dazzling.

Li Jing and the nine-headed Bull Demon King followed closely behind, with Buddha's light bursting out and black energy covering the sky like a vast ocean.

Li Jing was wearing chain mail armor inlaid with turquoise in many places, chain mail combat boots, holding a treasure umbrella in one hand and a delicate and exquisite golden pagoda with relics in the other hand, a treasure-spitting rat sleeping on his shoulder, and riding a white lion with red mane.

The nine-headed Bull Demon King wears a water-polished silver iron helmet on his head, a set of velvet and brocade golden armor on his body, a pair of pointed suede boots with pink base on his feet, a three-strand lion belt around his waist, and holds a pair of two-handed maces in his hands.

Although they were relatively small in number, they showed no fear in front of the 19 saints. On the contrary, their aura was overwhelming.

Nezha spoke first: "I, Nezha, am here. Just tell me how you want to fight."

Li Jing and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King did not speak, but just held their weapons and looked forward.

Kuimu Lang and Pleiades Star Officer took a step forward together, "Show your abilities and see who's the better of you."

Nezha laughed and said, "It would be best if there were no rules."

General Zhao Da said hurriedly: "Wait."

Nezha looked over and asked, "What else?"

General Zhao Da said: "There are tens of thousands of mortals here. When we fight, we must restrain our power and not hurt innocent people."

Nezha said: "Okay, I won't show my true form."

Kuimu Lang, Pleiades, General Zhao Da and other star officials then breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really afraid that Nezha would get angry and reveal his true form. By then the world would collapse and they would be committing a huge sin.

General Zhao Da was still worried, "Let's put our magic power into the weapons and fight, don't use too powerful spells."

Nezha said: "Alright, it's up to you guys, can we start?"

General Zhao Da looked to the side.

Kuimu Lang and Pleiades star official nodded slightly.

As soon as General Zhao Da stretched out his hands, dragons appeared in his hands.

Kuimulang was wearing a red gauze robe and holding a shining white sword in his hand.

The star official of the Pleiades was still wearing the robes for paying homage to the emperor, a golden robe, and holding a jade-colored tablet with the mountains and rivers in his hand.

The remaining sixteen star officials all had divine light flowing from them and held a divine weapon in their hands.

Such as ground writing, arch bridges, bamboo slips, brushes and horse whips, etc.

Twenty-two powerful gods or demons have already mobilized their respective magical powers and are preparing for a shocking battle.

……

Khitan army, central military camp.

Chen Yun looked up into the sky, his expression becoming somewhat complicated.

A registered disciple named Mei Junyan asked from the side, "Teacher Niu, can our army win this battle?"

Niu Dali's eyes were very solemn. "In front of us are General Zhao Da, the Sixty Jiazi God Wuchen Tai Sui, the Nine Star Officials of Kui and Pleiades. They are all in the realm of immortals. The Third Prince, Li Tianwang and King Niu are at a similar realm. Although there is a big gap between the immortals, for example, the Third Prince and King Chicheng have the power to fight against ordinary early immortals, but there are too many divine beings on the opposite side. I really can't guess the outcome."

Chang Wei is another registered disciple of Chen Yun. Although his cultivation is not as good as Niu Dali, he has been following Master Liu for many years and his level of knowledge is actually higher.

He said, "Brother Mei, if the Third Prince could show his true form, he would have a great chance of winning. But now that he can't show his true form, it may be difficult for him to win."

Although Chang Wei's cultivation level is far higher than Mei Junyan's, he became Chen Yun's disciple later, so he calls Mei Junyan "Senior Brother".

After listening to this, Mei Junyan seemed to be thinking about something and fell into silence.

Zhang Qian and Lin Chen looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.

The same is true for all of Chen Yun's disciples, including Jiao Taoist, Gong Ju Ji, Ghost King Wei Shu, etc.

In their hearts, they knew very well that Nezha, Li Jing and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King belonged to their side.

It would be fine if they were defeated today, but if they were captured by the other side, their power would be greatly weakened among the many monks and saints of the Khitan army, and their voice would be reduced in the future.

Naturally, Chen Yun’s disciples, including Zhang Qian, Lin Chen and Bao Xin, all did not want Nezha and his companions to be defeated.

Just analyzing the current strength on paper, the possibility of failure is very high, which makes them very conflicted and worried.

In fact, it’s not just Chen Yun’s disciples who are worried.

Heima Mama, Master Hu San, Qishou and others were also worried.

Internal power struggles are one thing, but now we are united against the outside world.

If Nezha, Li Jing and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King were defeated, they would really be blocked here and would never be able to move forward even a single step.

When the Later Jin army fights on their own soil, they will not have to worry about lack of supplies at all.

If the Khitan ran out of food and grass, they would be defeated without a fight, let alone the destruction of the Later Jin Dynasty.

What was different from everyone else's mood was that Chen Yun had basically no hope for this battle.

Yeah, he didn't think he could win.

The reason why he asked Nezha, Li Jing and the nine-headed Bull Demon King to fight was to test the strength of the sacred beings such as Kuixiu, Maoxiu, and General Zhao Da, and then analyze from them who should be invited to help.

This is something that must be understood.

Although the Jade Emperor gave him a sacred list of helpers, Chen Yun certainly could not just invite the Four Emperors, the King of the East, and the Queen Mother of the West to come out casually.

This would easily expose his own power and allow Emperor Ziwei to think of a response plan.

Chen Yun thought to himself, "I hope the three of them can test out the other side's strength, so that I can think of what kind of helpers to ask for."
