I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 427 Avoiding (Please Subscribe)

The area below the long steps was empty.

There was silence.

The surrounding area is lush with trees, which appear verdant in the sunlight, with tender green leaves hanging down and dappled sunlight filtering through the gaps and onto the ground.

At this moment, a monk wearing a kasaya walked out from under a tree trunk. Several spots of light shone through his shiny head, and nine ordination scars could be seen on his head.

He glanced towards the long staircase, clasped his hands together, silently recited "Amitabha," and murmured:
"'Azure Dragon Sword Immortal' Chen Yi, he is indeed powerful."

“The monk Shanzhen of Vajra Temple is highly skilled in Buddhism, especially with his indestructible Vajra body. Ordinary sword cultivators of the same cultivation level and realm cannot harm him at all, let alone those who are a whole realm higher.”

"To be able to kill Monk Shanzhen with a sword technique at the Celestial Realm and the sixth level of Divine Power, we have to admit that he has exceeded our expectations."

He seemed to be talking to himself, but after he finished speaking, a voice suddenly appeared in his ear:

"That is why I believe he must be one of the inheritors of the ancient Daoist court."

"Furthermore, Zhao Muzi and Xun Wangtian value him highly, and are willing to act as witnesses between the human race and the demon court of Tianyuan Continent as transcendent beings."

Upon hearing this, the monk slightly raised his head, glanced at the long steps, and said calmly:
"You should say less."

"The 'General' also values ​​him highly, or rather, cares about him."

"When Gu Ying went to Tianyuan Continent before, he was unable to help Zhou Guanwu and the others complete that plan. In the final analysis, it was ruined by the Azure Dragon Sword Immortal."

"It's a pity that the 'General' failed to kill him that time. Now, if we want to kill him again, we have to consider Daoist Zhao Muzi of Xun Wangtian."

"Otherwise, why wouldn't the 'Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss' personally intervene to save him?"

After a brief pause, before the monk could hear anything else, he turned and asked:
"The day after tomorrow is when you gentlemen will travel to Mount Ling. If all goes well, the next time we see him, it will be the time to kill him."

Upon hearing this, another creature hidden in the shadows sneered:

"Do you think this 'Azure Dragon Sword Immortal' can escape the encirclement and killing by Mo Kui and the others?"

"maybe."

"If he dies here, I believe the 'General' will be very disappointed."

"Oh?"

"Because I misjudged it."

"...Du'e, you monk are still not pure of the six senses. You even dare to slander the 'General'. Just wait to be punished."

The monk chuckled softly, clasped his hands together, bowed respectfully, and said with a smile:

“What this humble monk said is true. If the ‘Azure Dragon Sword Immortal’ had died before the ancient spiritual mountain was opened, then he could not possibly be the inheritor of the ancient Dao Court, which means that we have all misjudged him.”

"Ha, you've said both the good and the bad."

"Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you anymore."

"I know you monk were sulking because you didn't get a chance to go with us on this trip to Mount Ling, but who told 'General' to give the order?"

Upon hearing this, the monk's smile faded slightly, and he shook his head a little, saying:

"This humble monk has simply had some bad luck."

"The 'General's' newly accepted disciple has been performing very well lately, and his cultivation has broken through to the Celestial Realm. Even his swordsmanship has made great progress, having already crossed the third realm and reached the fourth realm of Divine Power."

"Furthermore, he has made progress in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra cultivated by the 'General' and is blessed by the Arhat Lotus Platform. He should follow the adults to the ancient sacred mountain."

The voice beside him chuckled mischievously, "Looks like you're quite rational, not bad, not bad."

"In comparison, Yi Mu's performance has been somewhat worse. He has been urging Chen Yuan to borrow that lotus platform."

"But Chen Yuan isn't stupid. He would never agree to something that doesn't bring him any benefit."

The monk pondered for a moment, then looked toward the shadows deep in the woods and walked toward them.

As he walked, he asked thoughtfully:
"You say that the master clearly knew about the relationship between Chen Yuan and 'Azure Dragon Sword Immortal' Chen Yi, so why did he still accept him as a disciple?"

"Not only did they accept Chen Yuan, but they also gave him the Arhat Lotus Platform. Although it was said to be temporary, we all know that once the lotus platform is confirmed, unless he perishes, it is impossible to replace it with anyone else."

"In addition, there's the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra... You know, it's not like none of the Yi Mu people haven't proposed cultivating the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra, but they've all been rejected by the master."

"Why is it that when it was Chen Yuan's turn... do you think the magistrate treated him so well?"

After listening, the person in the shadows remained silent for a moment, then said in a cold tone:

"The sir is farsighted. He must have his reasons for doing this. I suppose it is in preparation for something in the future."

"what's up?"

"You're asking me? I think you're really tired of living, trying to figure out what adults are thinking."

"This humble monk is just curious, no, I should say this humble monk is quite curious about the brothers Chen Yuan and Chen Yi."

"This humble monk is very curious to know what is so special about the two of them. If we can figure this out, perhaps we can know the future course of some things."

After listening to the monk's words, a faint sound of wind came from deep within the forest, causing the area to sway.

The rustling sound of leaves colliding echoed through the air.

a long time.

The monk suddenly laughed: "Never mind, it was just a thought that came to mind, and I don't intend to investigate it further."

"You'd better not follow me. Go back and see how the adults are preparing. They should be about to set off."

"it is good."

"This time, the 'General' and the Ancient Buddha of Floating and Sinking deliberately chose to go to the Spirit Mountain Secret Realm when the Weak Water Realm opened, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Otherwise, the adults would have set off long ago..."

The sound gradually faded into the distance, eventually disappearing completely.

The monk, with a kind and benevolent expression, gazed into the depths of the forest and stood silently for a long time.

It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky, illuminating the dense forest, that he turned and walked towards the long steps.

"After thinking about it carefully, I am still very curious."

"Let's go and take a look..."

Before long, the monk also disappeared on the long steps.

The next moment, a dark figure appeared, with only a pair of eyes showing a hint of mockery.

"The monk who saves the evil monk is still the same as ever, unable to distinguish between what he can and cannot do."

"So what if you figure out the adults' thoughts and plans? Can your power really change anything?"

With that, he shook his head and instantly sank into the ground.

Traveling through the rocks, it felt as if the heavy rocks of Mount Taizhou were not blocking the way.

In just three breaths, the shadowy figure arrived in front of a huge tree.

He looked around to make sure there were no living beings within a radius of ten thousand miles before walking towards the giant tree and passing through the tree hole.

After a moment of dizziness, his vision suddenly cleared.

Within a vast realm far more lush than imagined, a towering tree stands tall, its dense branches forming a triangle that stretches for thousands of miles.

There are also low trees around it, and you can vaguely see a few simple treehouses.

Only then did the shadowy figure reveal its true form—a demon with an eagle's head and a human body.

However, compared to the extremely yin and evil demonic aura emanating from the demon, its body was bathed in Buddhist light, like a highly enlightened monk.

The next moment, the eagle-headed demon appeared beneath the towering tree. Looking at the massive tree, which was hundreds of miles wide and as solid as a rock, it called out, "My lord, White Fang requests an audience."

"Come up."

Upon hearing the sound, the eagle demon White Fang leaped up instantly, circled and flew thousands of miles before landing on a tree trunk beneath its lush foliage.

Just now I saw a grand hall nestled deep within the tree trunk.

Just as it was about to step inside, it suddenly saw the scene inside the hall, paused, and then bowed in reverence:

"White Fang greets all esteemed lords."

Deep within the grand hall, General Sun Xushi and the monk Fuchen sat regally on a twelve-tiered lotus platform, occupying the highest positions.

Arranged on both sides are nine-rank lotus pedestals and six-rank lotus pedestals, totaling one hundred and eight lotus pedestals.

One or more figures were standing on it.

Chen Yuan was among them.

However, the sixth-grade lotus platform beneath his feet placed him quite far back in the hierarchy.

There were several figures beside him, including Zhou Guanwu and the ascetic monk who had been resurrected by the "general".

Chen Yuan glanced at the eagle demon, then sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, holding a long sword in one hand.

Compared to before, his appearance hadn't changed much, but his aura was much gentler, no longer as cold as before, but instead more peaceful and warm.

Even so, the three people beside him, Zhou Guanwu, the ascetic monk, and Yi Mu, whose cultivation and supernatural powers surpassed his, all showed some apprehension.

In fact.

Originally, Zhou Guanwu and the ascetic monk were supposed to join the Ninth-Rank Lotus Platform where Gu Ying was located.

But in the end, it did not succeed.

The reason is simple: their cultivation levels were too low, and they were overtaken by someone more powerful.

Left with no other choice, Zhou Guanwu had to find Chen Yuan and pay a certain price to join this sixth-rank lotus platform.

The same applies to Yi Wood.

Although he was very unhappy, with the opening of the ancient spiritual mountain imminent, there was no time left for him to delay.

In the end, he could only bow his head and promise to follow Chen Yuan's lead in order to get a spot.

At this point, including Chen Yuan, there were four powerful beings at the Divine Power Realm on the Lotus Platform where Chen Yuan was located.

At this moment, the eagle demon Baiya walked into the hall, bowed and said, "My lord, everything outside is calm. Their attention is focused on the Weak Water Realm. Some demons have also gone to hunt down the geniuses and old monsters of many realms according to the deal they made with us."

"it is good."

The general nodded upon hearing this, his eyes flashing with starlight for a moment, as if he were observing the laws of nature around him.

"We will depart the day after tomorrow, and together we will create a great event. I hope that everyone can obtain the golden body of the Buddha."

The monk Fuchen beside him smiled and nodded: "Amitabha."

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the hall chanted "Amitabha" in unison, each with a different expression.

Even Chen Yuan was no exception.

However, as he chanted the Buddhist mantra, the Buddhist merits and vows that were faintly emanating from his body were swallowed up by a colorful mist within him.

"Amitabha Buddha, all sentient beings suffer... The true meaning of the human path lies in experiencing numerous hardships..."

I never imagined that my experiences over the past ten years would actually promote my cultivation in the human realm.

Thinking this, Chen Yuan sat cross-legged with the monks, demons, monsters and other creatures around him, quietly listening to the general and monk Fuchen in front of him explain some of the secrets of the ancient sacred mountain.

“That realm is not on the mountaintop, but halfway up the mountain. Once you enter, I will take you to the Spirit Mountain Secret Realm.”

"There was no danger during the process."

"However, after entering the ancient sacred mountain secret realm, you must pay attention to one thing—you can do without Buddhism, you can do without merit and vows, but you cannot abandon your own great aspirations."

"If you do not make a grand vow, you will be killed on the spot by the guardian monks of the ancient sacred mountain secret realm, and even I will not be able to save you then."

"Remember, the grand vows you make must align with your own principles, and you must put them into practice..."

Chen Yuan silently memorized these words while listening to the telepathic message in his ear:
"As White Fang just said, Chen Yi has already arrived on the mountain and has just passed through Blade Valley and Golden Wind Street."

It was the voice transmission from the monk Fuchen.

After listening, Chen Yuan merely raised his head and remained seated on the lotus platform without uttering a word.

He had already witnessed Chen Yi's display of power and had also heard about the relationship between Daoist Zhao Muzi and Chen Yi, so he was no longer as worried about Chen Yi's safety as before.

In comparison, his own "Pure Land of Bliss" was actually more dangerous.

Firstly, it is the cultivation sequence of the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra" taught by "General" Sun Xushi.

He couldn't figure out what the "general" meant by doing this.

Secondly, there is the ancient sacred mountain secret realm.

He was equally unsure whether they, these so-called "Arhats and Buddhas," would gain the recognition of that secret realm.

As Chen Yuan pondered this, his mind became immersed in the cultivation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra.

"hope everything is fine."

……

Chen Yi followed A Lang up the long steps to a plain halfway up the mountain.

The lush green grass stretches for thousands of miles, with many wild animals roaming and leaping among it, making it look like an ordinary grassland.

Of course, this excludes those blades of grass taller than a person.

"This is considered the safest 'forbidden area' on Mount Taizhou. Except for the boundary entrance hidden in the grass, you can pass through safely in most cases."

Alang pointed to the grassland in front of him and said with a smile, "I heard that some unlucky powerful beings not only fell into the realm, but were also trapped inside and could not get out. In the end, they wasted a hundred years before they returned."

Chen Yi nodded, looking at the "sun" about to set in the sky, and said:
"This place is truly magical. Every rock and dense forest seems to follow different rules, both inside and outside the boundary."

"Yes, when I first came to Taizhou Mountain, I was also amazed by the scenery here, and even asked the two Taoist priests about the origin of Taizhou Mountain."

"What did they say?"

"It wasn't explained clearly."

Ah Lang shook his head slightly and said with a sigh, "According to Master Mu Zi, Mount Tai Zhou is a vast world that existed in ancient times, far surpassing the ancient Taoist courts and sacred mountains in terms of antiquity."

"By now, no one knows how it was formed or what its origin is."

Alang paused, then looked at Chen Yi and said, "I believe you've already seen the map you got from Qingfeng. It shows quite a few realms, right?"

"In fact, there are countless boundaries on Mount Taizhou. Many are hidden underground, inside rocks, or in streams, and no one has ever been able to enter them."

"No one can say for sure how many realms there are."

"Only when a few beings emerge from those realms and voluntarily reveal the location of their realms can they be easily detected by outsiders."

Chen Yi nodded knowingly, and was about to speak when he sensed an aura coming from afar.

—A fierce and domineering killing intent, like thunder!
Chen Yi frowned slightly.

"Avoid."
