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

Chapter 770 Lie Zi
The battle between the five marshals of the Thunder Department and the nine stars of the Big Dipper is very important.

How important is it?

It can be said that if this battle is lost, Lei Zu will most likely go out into the battle early, which will affect the final victory.

What will happen if the attack on Luancheng fails in the end?
The Khitan army was unable to continue its march southward, and then they ran out of food and grass, and ultimately suffered another crushing defeat.

The Khitan army has been defeated twice in recent years.

If this third attempt also fails, I am afraid that we will not be able to gather strength to continue the southern expedition in the short term.

Chen Yun knew very well that this situation must not be allowed to happen, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Therefore, he must ensure that Lei Zu will not be forced to take action prematurely.

Chen Yun had made up his mind that if all else failed, he would take action himself and he would definitely solve the problem of the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper.

He had enough confidence that he could defeat Pangu Nine Stars by manifesting the sixth transformation of Pangu's true body.

Why?

Because his fifth transformation of Pangu's true body crushed Ziqi Star Lord.

And with each subsequent change, the strength will grow explosively.

Therefore, there is no pressure at all in the sixth transformation to fight against the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper.

Even if the sixth transformation doesn’t work, isn’t there still the seventh transformation with a dragon head and a snake body?

Although the dragon head and snake body could only last for fifteen breaths, the explosive growth was enough for him to finish the battle in just a few breaths, and fifteen breaths was not necessary at all.

Chen Yun figured that he couldn't defeat one of the Four Saints of the North Pole anyway. If the Five Marshals of the Thunder Department really couldn't defeat the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper, then he would save his strength for this battle.

As for the upcoming battle with the Eleven Great Star Gods of Shangqing, there was actually no need to worry about it at all, after all, he had already dealt with two of them.

In this way, neither the "combination" of the eleven great star gods of Shangqing nor the "combination" of the nine star gods can be formed again.

Among the eleven great star gods of Shangqing who have not formed a group, only three are in the late celestial immortal realm, while General Qinglei and General Shilei, as the left and right attendants of Leizu, are also in the late celestial immortal realm. Like Ziqi star god, they are in the late celestial immortal realm who have entered the half-step Daluo realm. Together with Li Tieguai, winning will be no problem.

Chen Yun's thoughts raced.

Lei Zu suddenly said, "Chen Pu, you are in charge of the talisman, so you are the master. There is a Taoist friend coming over, go and greet him."

Ok?
Can Lei Zu call him a fellow Taoist?
Everyone looked surprised.

Everyone knows that Lei Zu is the incarnation of the Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole, has the cultivation level of half a step to Daluo, and is one of the masters of heaven and earth.

Anyone who can be called "fellow Taoist" by Him must be of very noble status or of very high generation.

This made everyone look curious, wanting to know who the visitor was.

Chen Yun was equally curious, and he had a hunch that Lei Zu had indeed predicted that the Five Marshals would lose, but he had long known that someone would come to help, so he was not afraid of losing this game at all.

He quickly stood up and responded, "Okay, Tianzun, I'll go out to greet you right away."

After saying this, Chen Yun walked out with curiosity in his mind.

……

Come outside.

Chen Yun kept looking up at the sky. Usually, if there was anything divine coming, it would be riding on clouds, so it was a good idea to look up at the sky.

Suddenly, an old man with a cane walked slowly towards them.

He was wearing coarse cloth clothes and his shoes were patched up, as if they had been worn for a long time.

The old man had white hair and a kind face. His body was slightly hunched and he seemed to be staggering when he walked.

The old man came to Chen Yun and asked in a hoarse voice, "Young man, how do I get to Luancheng?"

Chen Yun didn't even notice the old man. When he heard him approaching and asking questions, he instinctively responded, "Luancheng is just ahead, but old man, there is a war going on over there, you must not go over there."

The old man smiled and said, "Why should I be afraid of fighting? At my age, what kind of battles have I not seen?"

Seeing that the old man refused to listen, Chen Yun was about to say a few more words.

Just as the words came to his lips, he suddenly realized that the old man was approaching him quietly.

Ok?
I'm already in heaven, how can you approach me quietly?

He immediately realized that the old man was most likely the person Lei Zu asked him to greet.

With this thought, Chen Yun remained calm and just cooperated with the other party, pretending to be surprised and said: "Old man, you are very knowledgeable. Can you tell me, have you seen those battle formations?"

The old man smiled and said, "I said I have seen the Qin Dynasty destroy the six kingdoms, witnessed the fall of the 400-year-old Han Dynasty, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, and the destruction of the Tang Empire. Do you believe it?"

Chen Yunyo said: "Then you have lived a long life."

The old man sighed and said, "He has indeed lived a long time, more than a thousand years."

Chen Yun pretended to be surprised, "You look like you are in your seventies, I thought you were about my age."

The old man laughed and said, "I am much older than you think."

Chen Yun smiled brightly, "Then you must be quite famous in history, right? I wonder if I can learn your name?"

The old man's back suddenly became less hunched, and his wrinkled face was full of spirit. "My humble name is Lie Yukou."

Lie Yukou?
Isn’t this Lie Zi?
Chen Yun never thought that the person coming would be Lie Zi.

If we have to choose a representative Taoist figure, Lao Tzu would naturally be the first, followed by Zhuangzi, and then Lie Zi.

What we are talking about here is Taoism, which has nothing to do with Taoism.

As one of the ten great men of the pre-Qin period, Lie Zi was a great thinker, philosopher, writer and educator. He can be said to be an important figure in the Taoist school between Laozi and Zhuangzi.

It can be said that Lie Zi is one of the representative figures of Taoism.

Although Lie Zi has a very high status in Taoism, he is not well-known in Taoism. He does not have a very high priesthood, nor is he promoted by Taoism. He is just one of the four great immortals.

Who are the four great immortals?

They are Wenzi, the True Man of Tongxuan, Liezi, the True Man of Chongxu, Zhuangzi, the True Man of Nanhua, and Kangcangzi, the True Man of Dongling.

When Chen Yun heard the old man's identity, he immediately showed respect, bowed and said, "So it's Teacher Lie Zi, I'm sorry."

Lie Zi smiled and said, "You have already seen that I am not an ordinary person, right?"

Chen Yun admitted: "I am already a person in the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Teacher, you were able to approach me quietly without me noticing. How could you be an ordinary person?"

Lie Zi was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter and said, "Haha, I was careless, I was careless."

Chen Yun felt that Lie Zi was quite interesting, and he finally understood why even Lei Zu had to call him "Daoyou", because Lie Zi's status in Taoism was so high.

Lie Zi said, "I have some friendship with your teacher Zhongli Quan. I was sitting at home when I suddenly had a sudden impulse and felt that you were in trouble, so I came here to help you."

Chen Yun quickly said: "Thank you, teacher. I am very grateful."

Lie Zi waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Let's go in and pay our respects to Lei Zu, and by the way, visit my old friend Li Xuan whom I haven't seen for a long time."

Chen Yun stretched out his hand and said, "Teacher, please."

As he walked in with Lie Zi, he asked curiously, "Teacher, are you and Master Li old acquaintances?"

Lie Zi sighed and said, "In a sense, he is still my predecessor." Chen Yun thought thoughtfully. Li Tieguai was from the State of Ba, which was destroyed in 316 BC. According to historical documents, Lie Zi was from the State of Zheng in the early Warring States Period. He was born in 450 BC and died in 375 BC. It is not surprising that Li Tieguai is Lie Zi's predecessor.

……

Come to the ground.

When everyone saw that the person was Lie Zi, they all stood up to greet him.

Even though Lei Zu was of such a high status, he stood up to give face to Lie Zi.

"It turns out to be Master Chongxu."

"Lei Zu just said someone was coming, and we were wondering who it was."

"Master Chongxu, please sit down, please sit down."

Zhang Tianshi, Xu Tianshi, Lu Dongbin and others all welcomed Lie Zi very warmly.

Lie Zi was also very polite. He first paid his respects to Lei Zu, and then exchanged greetings with others for a while.

Finally, Tieguai Li said with a smile: "I was wondering who was coming, but it turns out to be you, old man."

Lie Zi laughed and scolded: "You old thing are older than me, and you still have the nerve to call me an old thing?"

Tieguai Li was speechless for a moment.

Suddenly, the whole reed hut was filled with laughter, as everyone was amused by Lie Zi and Tieguai Li.

When Chen Yun saw the two people arguing with each other, he immediately knew that the friendship between them was not ordinary, otherwise they would not be so casual.

After some chatting and laughing, everyone sat down.

Lei Zu looked at Lie Zi and addressed him respectfully, "Lie Zi, since you can come to help us today, we can rest assured."

Lie Zi said, "I heard that the Four Saints of the North Pole are blocking the way here, so I came here to help Chen Pu, but I don't know if I can win."

Changshengtian, who was sitting next to him, changed his expression slightly.

Before this, everyone had agreed on how many people would fight against the Four Saints of the North Pole.

They are Zhang Tianshi, Ge Tianshi, Lu Dongbin and Changshengtian.

Now Lie Zi is coming up to fight with one of the Four Saints of the North Pole, isn't it just to kick one person out?
Of course, you can go together.

But when it comes to people of such status as the Four Saints of the North Pole, Zhang Tianshi, and Lie Zi, they really can't bring themselves to gang up on one person.

Changshengtian was the one who was finally chosen to fight against one of the Four Saints of the North Pole. If Lie Zi wanted to participate in this battle, wouldn't he just want to kick him out?

Just when Changshengtian frowned slightly, fortunately Chen Yun explained in time: "Teacher, we have found the candidate to fight against the Four Saints of the North Pole."

Lie Zi nodded slightly, "It's good to have it, then I can save some energy."

Lei Zu rarely said with a smile: "I can't let you save effort. If Beidou Jiuxing defeats my five marshals of the Thunder Department, I will have to let you stretch your old arms and legs."

Lie Zi readily agreed and said, "That's great. It's worth my trip."

It can be seen that Lie Zi is very confident in defeating the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper.

Well, the other party dared to fight with one of the Four Saints of the North Pole, which means he is also the top batch in the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Naturally, he is not afraid of the nine stars of the Big Dipper joining forces.

Chen Yun didn't know what the other three of the Four Great Immortals' cultivation levels were like, but when he saw Lie Zi today, he felt that he was as unfathomable as his master. So he must have believed that Lie Zi's cultivation level was not inferior to his master's. Lu Dongbin, Zhang Tianshi and others had said before that as the founder of inner alchemy, his master's cultivation level had already reached the pinnacle, and he was only a step away from being a Half-Step Daluo.

Since Lie Zi gave me a similar feeling to his mentor, he might really be able to fight against one of the Four Saints of the North Pole.

Zhang Tianshi said: "The five marshals may not be defeated. Let's see the situation first."

Master Ge agreed, "Although the Big Dipper Nine Stars have a large number of people, Marshal Deng and Marshal Bi are not pushovers. It is still to be determined who will win or lose."

Chen Yun also hopes that the five marshals can win. After all, these five are one of the strongest forces in the Thunder Department besides Lei Zu.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Soon two or three hours passed, and it was already slightly bright outside.

However, the battle between the five marshals and the nine stars of the Big Dipper has not yet ended.

Chen Yun, Zhang Tianshi, Lu Dongbin and other sacred beings in the reed hut had been staring at this epic battle, except for the time when Lie Zi came over to divert their attention at the beginning.

It has to be said that the Five Marshals and the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper are particularly powerful.

The fight between them was extremely exciting.

However, no matter how exciting the fight was, it was a bit annoying after several hours without a winner.

Chen Yun knew that at this level, if he did not have a particularly huge advantage, it would be impossible for him to fight for several hours, let alone several years.

For example, he once saw Monk Daoyuan fighting with Niu Dali in the cave of Sun Moon Lake.

At that time, the two were still in the human fairyland and could fight for as long as a month.

Just think about it, the Five Marshals and the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper are all in the late stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm. What's so strange about them fighting for three to five years?
Of course, this situation will only occur when the two sides are evenly matched.

If it is a fault-type crushing, it will not take so long.

Chen Yun can also judge from this battle that if it is a one-on-one fight, each of the five marshals is stronger than one of the nine stars of the Big Dipper. It's just that now the number of people is nearly half less, so the two sides are evenly matched and it is difficult to tell the winner.

A protracted war will definitely give Luancheng a huge advantage, after all, this is the home ground of the Jin army.

For the Khitan army, this protracted war is very disadvantageous. As for why, as mentioned before, it is nothing more than that the battle line is too wide and supply may be a problem.

Chen Yun was aware of this problem, but the five marshals of the Thunder Department were fighting desperately with the nine stars of the Big Dipper, so he couldn't say anything.

You can't ask the five marshals of the Thunder Department to admit defeat, right?
This is such an embarrassment to the Thunder Department!

Therefore, he could only keep calm and hope that the five marshals could defeat the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Lei Zu slowly said, "It's not a good idea to continue fighting like this."

Lie Zi looked over and said, "Shall I go over now?"

Lei Zu did not answer immediately, but looked towards the world where the Nine-Curve Pearl evolved, as if conveying some message.

After a while, Chen Yun sensed that the five marshals in the Jiuquzhu world and the nine stars of Beidou had ended their fight and seemed to have admitted defeat voluntarily.

At this time, Lei Zu looked at Lie Zi and said, "Then I'll trouble you to make the trip."

Lie Zichu stood up with his cane and said, "Okay."

After saying this, he took a step forward and then disappeared.

When Chen Yun saw Lie Zi taking action, he immediately knew that he would have no part in the next battle.

This made him feel a little regretful, as he had originally wanted to try out how ferocious the power of the dragon head and snake body could be.

Given the current situation, it seems there is no chance to test its power.

Despite this, he was relatively happier in his heart.

After all, they were about to break through the defense lines of Zhoutian Xingdou and Hehan Qunzhen.

At that time, the Khitan army will be able to march straight in and completely destroy the Later Jin Dynasty!
