The Dutian Lingguan Road that started from the Taoist soldiers

Chapter 328: Seven Deadly Extinctions
There are heavenly battles in the sky, and fierce battles on the earth.

Wu Yong held the bizarre and magnificent Xianyan flag in his hand, and used it as a battle flag. The two-meter-long flag was surrounded by mysterious light. When the flag was twirled, it set off a huge wave. He used the flag bone as a spear and the flag as a blade to fight with all kinds of iron rods, thunder whips, spears, and treasure banners.

The Great Sage had never had such a frustrating fight before. He had to fight with nine thunder generals at the same time. In addition, due to the strange and bizarre lights in this fairyland, the upside-down five senses and the chaotic space, he would start fighting among himself if he was not careful. He had just blocked Marshal Deng's thunder whip with one stick and quickly did a backflip to avoid a vicious dark thunder.

The Taoist Zhixuan's Dao fruit appeared, and dark thunder struck from time to time in the entire fairyland, pointing directly at the gods; the world-destroying disaster fire continued, burning the entire earth, burning people's hearts; and from time to time, calamity winds rose from the underground sky, which was extremely weird.

It is very similar to the "domain" of the ancient gods, but it is completely different.

The dark thunder was insidious and silent, and it would suddenly strike down from the sky at every finger snap. Whenever it hit the rocks, it would instantly turn the hundred-foot-tall blue stone into green smoke. It would then hit the top of the golden hoop stick, and in a moment, the Great Sage's right hand was in great pain, covered with a layer of burnt color, so he had to loosen his hand and switch to holding the stick with his left hand.

Disaster fire surged in the void, and the space it burned seemed to be twisting, burning people's hair and skin, and making people's hearts anxious; the calamity wind was uncertain, and when the wind blew, the armor of several thunder generals fell to the ground with a rustling sound as if they had decayed for a long time, and turned into dust in less than a few breaths.

"What a sinister magical power!"

As Wu Yong waved the flag, the Three Disasters' divine light attached to it, and rays of golden light exploded. The Three Disasters' strange images manifested their substance, and the flag technique danced in the wind, which put enough pressure on the generals.

This time, the Great Sage immediately manifested three heads and six arms, each holding a stick. He was not stingy with his efforts and created thousands of clones. The thunder generals either transformed into three-eyed angry bodies, or raised the Five Dragon Wheel, Heavenly Thunder Banner, and Thunder Whip, and came to fight like giant gods.

Two fists cannot beat four hands, a good tiger cannot fight off a pack of wolves. Wu Yong and the Seven Directions Gods cannot manifest themselves, and if they do, they will be beaten to pieces in less than one round!

He had no choice but to wave the immortal flag, hold the Golden Crow on his shoulder, use the few to fight the many, and endure the repeated pursuit and attack. He mobilized the Three Disasters, and with one flag, he swept away all the soldiers and nailed the two-meter-long flag to the ground with one force, releasing the Golden Cloud Magic. Wu Yong then freed his hands and held a breath in his mouth, one of which was the Three Disasters Divine Light and the other was the Three Lights Divine Fingers.

The Three Disasters divine light was dim in color, white inside, and it seemed dark and deep towards the edge of the divine light. This faint Three Disasters divine light, with a few fingers pointing out, was a hundred feet of divine light, covering many thunder generals, and causing cracks in the void for dozens of miles, and land collapses. The Three Lights Divine Fingers were even more powerful. With two fingers, they directly repelled the Great Sage's iron rod, and hit the treasure tower right in the middle, pitting it. The thunder whip cracked, and the seven stars on the dome stood tall, like seven heavenly swords hanging above everyone's heads. The Han light was bright and clear, reflecting the Three Lights Divine Fingers.

Before the Great Sage's incarnations could arrive, Wu Yong just let out a sound of his lips, and a Samadhi Divine Wind swept across a hundred miles, blowing away all the incarnations one by one.

When the battle was at its peak, Wu Yong forced the gods to retreat with his left and right fingers, and finally used his great power of moving stars and changing the constellations. He took Taiyin in his left hand and captured the sun in his right hand, and pushed them out with a bang. As soon as the two constellations fell to the ground, two large meteorite craters were created. He then held Taibai in one hand and Yinghuo in the other...

He moved the stars and changed the constellations, pushed the seven stars with his palm, and pressed down with one force. He cut down the six hundred miles of Qi Jue Mountain into flat land, and then opened up the flat land to make a big crater for the falling stars.

"This……"

Those thunder generals had never seen such a ferocious Taoist before. One after another, the stars and strange images fell down. The Thunder General of the Nine Dragons, the Thunder General of the Five Dragons' True Qi, and the Thunder General of the Eight Directions' Thunder Chariot that Slayed Evil were not good at moving and dodging. Seeing the stars falling one after another, they had no choice but to sacrifice their Five Dragon Spirits, Nine Dragons, and the Heavenly Fortress Treasure Chariot to meet them one by one.

The earth trembled for only a few breaths, and then three rays of spiritual light carrying the souls of the three generals went straight towards Daluo Heaven.

With this strike, seven stars fell to the earth, and the three thunder gods were forced to return to their positions on the list of gods!
Wu Yong panted, beckoned the immortal flag with one hand, raised his arm and struck again, the immortal flag waved, mysterious light scattered, the flag bones were as fierce as a spear, the flag banner was as heavy as an axe, and he jumped down from the clouds and fought with the thunder generals again, this is: take advantage of his weakness to kill him. After chasing and beating him, he was forced to bear several whips and block several sticks. With his right hand, he grabbed the immortal flag, waved the mysterious light, suppressed the generals, pinched his left hand, and offered the Hunyuan Hammer. When he found an opening, he hit his chest with one hammer and hit his head with another hammer, killing two more thunder generals.

He knew very well that Sun Wukong had cultivated the Great Heavenly Immortal Art, integrating the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and was also a congenital stone spirit. He drank immortal wine and ate peaches to his heart's content, and stole many immortal pills. He had gathered the evidence of the alchemy cauldron and had now attained the body of Taiyi.

Fortunately, he cultivated the magical power of seventy-two transformations to avoid disasters. If he had cultivated the magical power of killing, he would really be impossible to resist.

In this battle, Wu Yong only needs to wave the flag to block the Monkey King's golden cudgel, bypass him and kill all the thunder generals. Now that five of the nine gods have been eliminated, the pressure has been reduced sharply.

At the same time, the other side's Great Sage and Thunder Generals also reacted. They looked at Wu Yong, who had been whipped several times, had his leg bones broken, had his chest hit by the treasure banner, had his ribs cracked, and even had some blood on his scalp, with horror on their faces.

I saw that what flowed out of the Taoist's wound was not blood, but vital energy and heavenly lead essence. He just shook his arm lightly, and the vital energy suddenly gathered again, and the flow of fortune began. Some injuries disappeared in an instant, and he returned to his peak state. Moreover, this was not an ordinary method of recovery, there was not even the slightest loss of vital energy!

"Could it be the great divine power of mediating creation?"

According to legend, in the ancient times, Nuwa created humans by controlling the will of nature, gathering sand and soil into shape, and taking in flowing water as essence. After nine transformations of nature, sand gave birth to flesh and blood, soil became tendons and bones, and flowing water became qi and blood...

On the other side, the Great Sage was born with the indestructible body of Taiyi Vajra, while on this side, Zhi Xuanzheng was able to create the immortal body.

[Perhaps, this is the time for these two to decide the winner! ]

All the generals had the same thought in their minds.

"Those spiritual treasures are too powerful. I have lost three of my five senses and my six consciousnesses are in chaos. Not to mention fighting again, if I delay for a moment, I will die in this catastrophe of wind, fire and thunder..."

In order to avoid being affected in his judgment, the Howling Wind Whip Thunder General had long blocked his five senses and six consciousnesses, but at this moment he could no longer hold on and could only smile bitterly.

The Great Sage and the gods sighed in their hearts after hearing this. If they couldn't capture the Taoist in an instant, they would be doomed to die in this fairyland. The three disasters were thundering, strange phenomena were everywhere, the laws of the Tao were distorted, and the lights were bizarre. This fairy flag was terrifying. As long as it was given enough time, even the Great Luo Immortal would not be able to escape the bad luck!
The Nine-Section Staff, the Golden Crow Wheel, the Green Gourd, the Hunyuan Hammer, and an even more terrifying immortal flag. This difficulty is too frustrating.

[I don't know which family this boy is from. He has so many magical instruments. Did he strip all the magical instruments from his teacher at home? ]

Both sides were silent for more than ten breaths, took a short rest, mobilized their magic power, and then started fighting again.

The Great Sage's golden body was indestructible, and he became more courageous as the battle went on. Wu Yong manipulated the destiny and never fell from his peak. He swung his iron rod, flicked the battle flag, mobilized all his magic power, and fought in the most violent and primitive way. With the help of the four thunder generals, thunder rolled down from the sky.

The three-legged golden crow jumped into the battlefield, its three claws were ferocious, its beak held the Emperor Flame, and a huge fire spewed out of the Great Sage's eyes that had suffered from eye disease. Wu Yong broke free again, raised the battle flag and attacked the four Thunder Generals. This time he energized his whole body, and the spirits of the gods cheered. He was blessed by the three lights of stars above and covered by the three disasters below. With one strike, the phantom of the cave heaven reappeared behind him, and he defeated the Thunder Generals in three or five moves. With a twist of the big flag, he rolled up the Thunder Whip, the treasure tower and so on. With his huge strength, he directly snatched the magic weapons of the gods with one flag and nailed them to the ground.

Wu Yong pounded his right fist again, the divine pattern of Zhaoshen flowed, and with a few [clang clang] punches, he knocked the thunder generals to the ground, then raised the Hunyuan Hammer and delivered another blow to one of them, instantly destroying their combat effectiveness.

At this time, the Monkey King swung his golden cudgel repeatedly, daring to catch up, but he was still a step too slow.

Unexpectedly, the man with three heads and six arms swung up the iron rod and smashed it down. The Taoist Zhixuan did not dodge or evade, but took the three sticks with his arms. He just staggered two steps and took several blows from the Great Sage. Then he grabbed the iron rod and used the power of inner and outer heaven and cave heaven to throw him away a hundred feet.

"Humph!"

"So, does that make you feel relieved?"

Wu Yong glanced at the Great Sage, snorted coldly, and the mysterious light of creation flowed, and the arm that was broken by three sticks was restored with a crackling sound. He sneered and exchanged glances with the Great Sage. Seeing that the Great Sage was also silent, Wu Yong raised two fingers slightly and took the Dao Fruit Strange Image back into his body.

"I have been practicing Taoism for three or four hundred years. Although I am not as good as a great saint, a born holy spirit, a practitioner of the three religions, or a leader among the immortals, I have also found my own way."

"And yet the Great Sage, with all his talent, lives in confusion!"

"If it is as Yong said, if you protected Tang Sanzang on his journey to the west, and really sought the Buddhahood, why did you do that? You didn't kill those who should be killed, and didn't beat those who should be beaten? Who should be killed and who should be beaten?"

"If that is the case, why shouldn't the Great Sage reflect on himself?"

"If you travel west just to escape from the Five Finger Mountain and still indulge yourself, and still have no sense of justice in your heart despite the difficulties and dangers along the way, the demons and cannibals, then I don't need to say anything more."

Wu Yong snorted coldly, took Tang Xuanzang and his various luggage, horses and beasts out of the Lotus Fairy Ship, and then spit out Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk from the Heavenly Lead Gourd.

Looking at the four-member group on their pilgrimage, Wu Yong only gave them one final warning.

"This time, I want you to know that whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, what is the difference?"

"The true scriptures cannot save the world. You cannot see the true nature of the tragedy along the way. Even if you get thousands of true scriptures, what's the use? You still can't defeat the demons one by one?"

"Xiniu Hezhou is at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. How come it is at the foot of the Buddha, where the old demons who eat people and destroy nations are even worse than those in Nanzhanbuzhou?"

"You all must have some opinions on your journey westward, right? Aren't you just like the four donkeys, trying your best to go westward?"

"This sect won't make it difficult for you. If you can figure it out, then think about it. If you can't figure it out, then it's up to you."

Seeing the Taoist in plain clothes walk away with a wave of his sleeves, the Great Sage, with every word he said, had no choice but to give up his three heads and six arms, and he tightened and loosened his palm on the golden hoop.

He really wanted to beat that bastard Taoist to death with a stick, but what he said was not entirely unreasonable...

The Great Sage's expression changed several times. He raised the golden hoop stick upside down, leaned forward, and asked in a cold voice:
"You demon, why are you making things so difficult for me?"

"Whether we are enlightened or not, what does it have to do with you, a lone man from West Kunlun?"

This question touched upon Wu Yong's key point.

"You four have been traveling west to retrieve the Mahayana Sutra for the Southern Continent. If you don't understand, how can you call that Sutra a true Sutra?"

"If the pilgrims cannot set an example, the future after spreading the scriptures will be no different from the present Xi Niu Hezhou."

"If you are enlightened, you can travel west and preach the scriptures, which will benefit future generations for thousands of years. Today, I am only trying to achieve a perfect merit."

Wu Yong flicked his sleeves and released the four men, without hiding anything about what they had done or what they wanted.

This difficulty, taking advantage of the Jade-faced Fox's incident of exterminating the entire family, was only meant to stimulate self-reflection by using their mistakes.

Master Xuanzang heard the Jade-faced Fox crying and cursing in the lotus, and was imprisoned by the Fuyao Taoists for several days. It was also during the calm moments that he sighed and reflected.

[I have committed many sins. The first sin is that I am the seven wood spirits of Thorn Ridge. I am not tainted with killing, but only seek poetry and romance. I am guilty of following the land god's orders out of fear of mortals and killing several immortals. Their crimes do not deserve death. The second sin...]

Master Xuanzang is the reincarnation of Chanzi, the daughter of Buddha. He has always been scheming, but after going through many tribulations, he is naturally infected with anger, fear, rage, sorrow... all these acquired qualities. This journey to the West is also his practice, to shed his mortal body and overcome all kinds of fear.

After this difficulty, Xuanzang became enlightened and asked his disciples to reflect on themselves. He looked around the charred land that was full of scars, potholes and holes, and cursed them for their sins.

At this time, auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, and a Bodhisattva sat on top of them, sitting on a 36-petal lotus platform, holding a pure jade bottle in his hand, with a willow branch inserted in the bottle. He was wearing a white silk fairy robe, and was extremely compassionate. A dragon girl accompanied him, and golden clouds were his supporters. As soon as the Bodhisattva appeared on the cloud, Master Xuanzang bowed down and called himself a disciple.

"Xuanzang has gone through this ordeal and has also gained great enlightenment. He should uphold this mind and get rid of the acquired turbidity..."

After pacifying the man traveling west, the Bodhisattva lowered his gaze and looked at Wu Yong.

Seeing that the Taoist had a bunch of flowers on his forehead, was as beautiful as a golden boy, had a face like a jade child, was full of spiritual light, had the etiquette of a noble family, and had a delicate heart, he just shook his head and chuckled:

"You are such a sharp-tongued Taoist. Why are all the demons eating people under the Buddha's feet?"

"My Buddhist sect is different from your Taoist sect. What you seek is to break off the ties of karma, to be free from oblivion and dust, and to achieve a clear mind. That great demon committed evil, and my Buddhist sect took him in. First, we persuaded him to be good, and second, we ordered him to serve for life until his sins were cleansed."

"You must know that it is not that our Buddhist sect condones our disciples to commit evil, but that we convert the evil-doing demons to our disciples..."

The Bodhisattva pointed at Wu Yong and laughed and scolded him, and his words won the Master Xuanzang's nod of approval.

Seeing that the host had come forward, Wu Yong did not dare to refute. He just bowed his head and respectfully called the Bodhisattva, listened to the teachings, and then let the Bodhisattva make the decision and send the pilgrim west...

This difficult stage of Qi Jue's self-examination has come to an end!

Wu Yong then slowly released the Dharma Protector Jie Di, the Eight Vajra Kings, and various Thunder Generals in batches.

This great difficulty, combined with questioning and obstruction, pointed out in advance the shortcomings of the self-cultivation of the master and the other three. It may be the most meritorious difficulty in this journey to the West, and it will also earn him enough merit. After the journey is completed, he will achieve the Jade Talisman of the Heavenly Immortal and enlighten the incarnations of the Seven Directions Spirit Officials!
This round of three knocks and seven kills lasted five days and two nights. Even though Wu Yong had many treasures to protect himself, and used the Taoist methods of mediation, substitution, etc., he was still exhausted. Afterwards, he released the Lotus Fairy Ship, gathered all the disciples of Fuyao, and used the magic of creation to bring life to this extinct land again. The scorched earth was crushed and yellow buds and green vines grew. In an instant, a myriad of purple and red covered the scorched land, and the blue waves and flowing water covered the meteorite crater...

This catastrophe is about to end.
