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

Chapter 733 Golden Light Blocks the Road
It is said that the Khitan army was divided into several routes.

On the one hand, he was stationed at the Hutuo River and confronted the 200,000-strong Later Jin army led by Du Chongwei.

On the other hand, Yelu Deguang sent another general, Xiao Han, to bypass the Later Jin army and try to seize Luancheng.

Du Chongwei became depressed after his defeat in the Battle of Zhongdu Bridge. He spent all day drinking and having fun in the camp, seldom asking about the military situation. He ordered the army to continue to stay where it was, with no intention of moving north again.

Although Du Chongwei had fallen into depravity, he still sent Li Guwai, the transport envoy who advocated war, to supervise the supply of grain and grass.

For a time, the situation on both sides was turbulent and a war could break out at any time.

Even the mortal armies are so scheming, not to mention the many gods and demons led by Chen Yun.

Chen Yun also divided his divine and demonic troops into several routes. In addition to Erlang Shen, the Six Saints of Meishan, his disciples, divine soldiers and generals who were guarding the main force, he also personally led Xu Tianshi, Ge Tianshi, Fire Dragon Zhenren, Li Tieguai, Lu Dongbin, Wang E, Lord Ma, Guan Erye and his son, and the Monkey King towards Luancheng.

He had enough reason to believe that as Luancheng was an important food supply and retreat route for the Later Jin Dynasty, the Emperor Ziwei would certainly send a powerful and sacred person to take charge.

If he didn't bring people with him, General Xiao Han would be easily captured without even being able to see the city gate, let alone occupy it.

Therefore, Chen Yun has to lead a group of gods and demons to repel the gods guarding Luancheng first.

A group of people were flying on the clouds to the top of a mountain when suddenly a golden light blocked their way.

Chen Yun, Tieguai Li, Lu Dongbin and others all held down the clouds and looked over.

All I saw were green mountains, towering pines casting shadows, and steep cliffs against steep ridges.

Close to the steep ravine, the shadows of the green cypress trees sway like a black leopard's tail

Steep cliffs, green pines with broken teeth and old dragon waist.

The Nine-Headed Bull Demon King was startled. "It's winter now, why is there such a spring scene here? Where does the golden light blocking the road come from?"

The Monkey King took a closer look and said, "There must be a god guarding this place."

Li Tieguai and Lu Dongbin did not speak, but just looked at each other, and they saw solemnity in each other's eyes.

Ge Xuan put his hands behind his back, looked towards the golden light, and asked loudly: "Who is here?"

"Master Ge, I am honored."

A majestic voice resounded between heaven and earth in the night sky.

Immediately, the two energies of Kan and Li rose in the golden light and transformed into a divine man.

The deity on the left has a human face and a tortoise body, while the deity on the right has a human face and a snake body.

Ge Xuan took one look and said with a smile, "I was wondering who they were. It turns out to be the two generals of water and fire under the command of the True Lord Lingying Yousheng."

The two generals of water and fire?

Aren’t they the two generals, the tortoise and the snake, under the command of the Great Emperor Zhenwu?

Chen Yun was naturally very familiar with the names of these two generals.

There are generally two different theories about the origins of the two generals, the turtle and the snake.

The first theory is that the two generals, the turtle and the snake, were the gatekeepers of Tianmen transformed from the internal organs of the Great Emperor Zhenwu.

When the Great Emperor Zhenwu was practicing, he did not eat grains, which made his stomach and intestines rumble with hunger.

The emperor was upset, so he took it out and threw it at his feet.

Later, the Great Emperor Zhenwu became an immortal, and his intestines and stomach were touched by spiritual energy and turned into the two generals, the tortoise and the snake.

Another theory is that the two generals, the turtle and the snake, were originally the two demon kings of water and fire, hence the name "the two generals of water and fire".

Taoism calls the Zhenwu Emperor the prince of the King of Jingshi and the incarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun or the Jade Emperor. The turtle and snake are the incarnations of the demon king conquered by the Zhenwu Emperor.

In Volume 4 of the Complete History of Immortals of All Dynasties, it is described that: In the past, King Zhou of Shang moved the six demon kings of water, fire, drought, locusts, plague, and monsters to disturb the world. At that time, the Supreme Yuanshi felt pity for them, so he ordered the God to issue an edict to the Purple Palace, and publicly sent Wu Tang to be the ruler of Zhou to defeat King Zhou and eliminate the remnants, and secretly used Taixuan Marshal to subdue the demons and eliminate the filth. At that time, Emperor Xuan was barefoot, wearing a golden armor and a black robe, a black flag, and a demon-subduing sword. He led the Dingjia gods and fought with the six demon kings in the wilderness of Dongyin. Four demons were defeated and fled. Two demon kings relied on the two energies of Kan and Li to transform into a giant tortoise and snake. When they were transformed, Emperor Xuan exerted his great power and subdued the two demons under his feet, making them unable to change. He returned to heaven to submit the edict, and was worshipped as the Master of Yuxu and the Emperor of Xuantian, and led the Nine Heavens Interview Envoy. The turtle and snake were rewarded for turning away from evil and returning to righteousness. The giant snake was the Heavenly Gate Taixuan Fire Spirit, General Mingyin, and the Red Spirit God. The blue turtle was the Earth Axis Taixuan Water Spirit, General Yuyang, and the Black Spirit God. They all lived in the land of Tianyi. The four demons were afraid and avoided them at first, but when they saw the turtle and snake being conferred titles, they also came to pay obeisance, and Emperor Xuan accepted them all as his followers.

From this we can see that the two generals, Turtle and Snake, and the other four demon kings are still very powerful.

At least six people joining forces can fight against the Zhenwu Emperor.

While pondering, Chen Yun looked at the cultivation base of the two generals, Turtle and Snake, and found that they were indeed very good, both of them had reached the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

General Turtle said, "It is us two."

Ge Xuan asked, "I wonder what the two generals of water and fire are doing by blocking the road?"

General Turtle said with a smile: "The Heavenly Master helps the Khitan, and we help the Jin court. We are blocking the way because we don't want you to go to Luancheng."

Ge Xuan smiled and said, "Oh, do you think you two can stop us?"

General Snake suddenly spoke up, "Of course the two of us can't stop you, but the thirty-six heavenly warriors and seventy-two earthly demons have formed a formation. I wonder if you can break through it?"

General Turtle followed closely behind him and sang in unison, "Not only are there the thirty-six heavenly generals and seventy-two earthly demons in formation, but there are also the sixty Jiazi gods, the twelve Yuanchen star gods, the two messengers Qingyang Tuoluo and the three true gods of the Central Dipper. If you can break through these formations, you will be able to see the six officials of the Southern Dipper, the three stars of the Three Terraces, the seven elements of the Northern Dipper and other immortals."

Yo.

This is quite a big scene.

Chen Yun didn't expect that a small battle to attack and defend Luancheng would require the Emperor Ziwei to send so many gods over.

This scale can almost be considered a decisive battle.

For example, the sixty Jiazi gods. Although each of them has only the cultivation level of the late stage of the immortal realm, when they unite together, they can exert the power of sixty Jiazi of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, which ordinary people in the celestial realm dare not face.

That’s fine. If the sixty Jiazi formed a formation of heavenly stems and earthly branches, Chen Yun would not be able to break it without revealing Pangu’s true form.

From this we can see how powerful it is when all sixty gods gather together.

The most crucial thing is that among the gods sent by Emperor Ziwei this time, the cultivation level of the sixty Jiazi gods is not very high, and there are also many celestial beings.

Take the Twelve Yuanchen Star Gods for example, they are all in the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

These star gods are not the ones with the highest status under the command of Ziwei Emperor. Above them are the two messengers Qingyang and Tuolu, the three true ones of Zhongdou, the six officials of Nandou, the star gods of Santai, the seven elements of Beidou, Zuofu and Youbi, the eleven great star gods of Shangqing and the four saints of the North Pole, etc.

Chen Yun vaguely understood that there would be a fierce battle next.

Ge Xuan probed the military situation and said, "In addition to these great formations, I see auspicious clouds gathering in Luancheng. I guess many powerful gods have come, right?"

General Turtle said, "Yes, my master and the other three saints have also come here."

Xu Xun smiled and said, "It is rare to have the four great saints of the North Pole come out in full force."

General Turtle smiled and said, "Didn't the two Heavenly Masters also go out in person?"

Ge Xuan continued to probe, "In addition to the Four Saints of the North Pole, I see that there seems to be another extremely powerful saint in Luancheng. Generals, can you tell me who it is?"

General Turtle said: "If the Heavenly Master can get close to Luancheng, he will naturally know who that person is."

Ge Xuan, Xu Xun and others saw that General Turtle was keeping the secret and thought that they could not get any more information.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yun took a step forward with his hands behind his back and said, "General Turtle, if I am not mistaken, the saint who is more powerful than the Four Saints of the North Pole must be the Bodhisattva Moli Putian, one of the four great half-step Daluo realms in Buddhism." General Snake said in surprise, "Master Chen actually knew about this?"

General Turtle nodded and said, "It is just as Lady Taiyin said. Master Chen has the mysterious method of 'predicting the enemy'. That's right, there is also the Bodhisattva Moli Putian in Luancheng."

Hearing this, Ge Xuan, Xu Xun, Lu Dongbin and Tieguai Li, who were in the late stage of the immortal realm, all frowned.

Lord Guan Erye, Lord Ma Wangye, the Monkey King, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King and others all felt a jolt in their hearts, as they did not expect that the Bodhisattva Mari Pushen would come again.

Chen Yun did not seem surprised, because he had previously used the "power of the Tao" that he had inadvertently realized to eavesdrop on the conversations between the sixty Jiazi, seventy-two earthly evil spirits and other star gods, from which he learned that the Bodhisattva Mari Pushen came here.

Logically speaking, since the Bodhisattva Mari Pushian had arrived, Chen Yun should have asked a half-step Daluo realm saint to come and help, but he did not do so immediately.

The main reason is that at this moment even the Jiazi God and Disha formations of the enemy's vanguard troops have not been broken. It is impossible to ask a Half-Step Daluo to stand by and watch while he breaks the formation, and it is even more impossible to let a Half-Step Daluo break these large formations.

Therefore, his idea was to wait until he broke through the formation and faced the Bodhisattva Mari Pu Tian, ​​and then ask the Golden Mother Ancestor or his master Dong Wanggong to come for help.

Ge Xuan chuckled and said, "No wonder you are so confident. It turns out that you have the Bodhisattva Mari Putian in charge."

General Turtle didn't take it seriously at all, and still kept smiling as he said, "Master Ge, if you want to see the Bodhisattva Mori Putian, you have to break the previous formations first, starting with the Seventy-two Earthly Evil Formations. Who among you will break the formation?"

The seventy-two earthly evil spirits are all in the late stage of the immortal realm.

To be honest, although the cultivation base of the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends is not very high, who knows how powerful the formation they set up is.

Therefore, before being absolutely sure, ordinary celestial beings would not rush to break the formation, otherwise they might get trapped in it.

As for Ge Tianshi, Xu Tianshi, Lu Dongbin, Tieguai Li and other late-stage celestial beings, although they can break the formation, they cannot kill a chicken with a butcher knife. Chen Yun will definitely not let them go, as good steel should be used on the blade.

Chen Yun looked back at Wang E, Guan Erye, Ma Wangye and others, and for a moment he hadn't decided who to let go.

He looked at General Turtle and said, "Please wait for a moment, Generals. I will discuss this matter with you."

General Turtle was very polite and extended his hand, saying, "Please come in, Master."

Chen Yun did not respond, but pressed the cloud and descended to the top of a mountain.

This is true for Master Ge, Master Xu, True Man Huolong, and Lu Dongbin.

……

On the top of the mountain.

Master Ge waved his sleeves, and ripples spread all around.

Immediately, he whispered, "I have cast a spell. We can talk freely without worrying about being overheard by the other side."

Xu Xun nodded slightly and said, "We may not be able to defeat the Bodhisattva Moli Putian this time, but that is a matter for the future. The most important thing for us now is to break the formation."

Zheng Yin said: "The Earthly Fiends array of the 72 Earthly Fiends is not an ordinary Earthly Fiends array. 72 is the number of the Yin Yang and Five Elements of Heaven and Earth. In addition, the 72 Earthly Fiends each master the power of a law. I guess that this array can make the power of the 72 laws work together, so this array is particularly dangerous."

Chen Yun asked: "Two Heavenly Masters, Fire Dragon Master, who do you think I should order to break the formation?"

Lü Dongbin interrupted, "We don't know the situation inside the formation yet, so it's not appropriate to send anyone there. In my opinion, it would be best if someone goes first to understand the situation inside the formation, and then someone else breaks through the formation."

Ge Xuan agreed, "Chun Yangzi's words make sense. Master Chen, who do you think would be the best person to lead the charge?"

have to.

The problem is thrown back to me.

Chen Yun had no choice but to look at Lord Guan Er, Lord Ma Wang, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King and others.

Lord Ma pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't I go and lead the charge?"

Guan Ping suddenly said, "My cultivation level is the lowest, so let me go and investigate."

Master Guan frowned, "Tanzhi, your cultivation is not as good as any of the 72 Earthly Fiends. How can you not be captured if you enter the formation?"

Guan Ping blinked and said, "I will go into the formation and take a look. If they want to take me, I will admit defeat immediately. I believe they will not bother with a junior like me, right?"

Guan Erye wanted to persuade him something else.

Ge Xuan said, "You can go, but to prevent you from being captured, I will write a word on your palm. If you feel that you are no match for me, open your palm and you can escape."

Guan Ping hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master."

When Guan Erye heard that Ge Xuan was willing to cast a spell to protect Guan Ping, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He clasped his fists and bowed, "Master, thank you for your help."

Ge Xuan waved his hand, "It's okay, General Guan, please extend your left hand."

Guan Ping quickly stretched out his left hand.

Chen Yun, Lu Dongbin, Tieguai Li and others looked over, wanting to see what Ge Xuan would write on Guan Ping's palm.

Ge Xuan stretched out the index finger of his right hand, and bursts of mist instantly spread from his fingertips.

The next moment, he "branded" the mist on Guan Ping's palm, and saw the word "Earth" written on it.

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven asked curiously, "Master, what is the power of this word?"

"Haha." Ge Xuan smiled and said in a profound way, "It can't be said. It can't be said. If I say it, it won't work."

Chen Yun looked at it carefully for a moment, but still couldn't see the mystery.

However, he believed that Master Ge was so transcendent and sacred that he would not joke about Guan Ping's life, so he was not too worried.

Guan Ping clenched his palms and said, "I will go to the formation to find out what's going on."

Master Guan Er warned: "Be frank and be careful."

Guan Ping said: "Aunt, I know."

As he spoke, he patted the white horse under his crotch, and turned into a wisp of white smoke and galloped towards the Earthly Demon Formation.

Chen Yun, Ge Tianshi, Lu Dongbin and others stood on the top of the mountain, watching Guan Ping go forward to take the lead.

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven said, "In fact, the 72 Earthly Evil Star Lords are not that scary. Their cultivation is not high. If there is no large formation, I can fight them alone. It's just that I don't know the situation of this Earthly Evil Formation, so I dare not rush to meet the enemy. If General Guan can find out a little about the situation in the formation later, maybe I can give it a try."

Chen Yun hummed and said, "Let's talk about it after General Guan comes back."

The group stopped chatting and looked seriously at the Disha Formation, wanting to know whether Guan Ping could find out the situation and return safely.

Chen Yun was very clear about one thing. Since the Emperor of Ziwei sent so many saints to guard Luancheng this time, it meant that he already had some idea in mind. If Luancheng was broken, it would most likely determine the final outcome of the war.

Therefore, it is very important whether they can successfully break through the previous formations and defeat those sacred beings in Luancheng who have reached unparalleled levels of cultivation.

Chen Yun thought to himself, "I hope Guan Ping can find out the situation."
