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

Chapter 465 You also care about Brother Yi

At this moment, the Sword Master Haoran was preoccupied with the nascent form of the Sword Dao principles, all of which concerned Chen Yi.

He no longer cared about the appearance of Mount Ling in the mortal world, or rather, he had no interest in it.

Did General Sun Xushi change his name to Mani Kassapa, and what does that have to do with him?
Compared to Chen Yi, the Azure Dragon Sword Immortal, and in terms of swordsmanship principles, there is absolutely no comparison.

So after receiving Zhao Muzi's approval, Haoran Sword Master sat down with Lei Jingming to the side, focusing their attention on the Kanbian Gate in the sky.

Guided by the divine intent of the sword path, he easily found the inscriptions left by the senior sword cultivators, and even saw the inscription left by Chen Yi at the very beginning:
"Even among the countless celestial sword immortals, they must all bow their heads before me!"

Leaving aside the domineering and imposing nature of the words, the divine intent of swordsmanship contained within them alone was enough to shake the mind of the Haoran Sword Master.

Or rather, I was excited.

Others might not be able to see the sword principles hidden within the sword intent left by Chen Yi, but Haoran Sword Master, as a powerful figure at the tenth level of sword divine power, could sense the rudimentary form of the sword principles within it.

"Domineering, murderous, sharp... indeed the pinnacle of swordsmanship, the very essence of swordsmanship..."

"Even though it is still in its infancy, it can already guide us sword cultivators in the direction of sword cultivation."

Haoran Sword Master repeatedly tried to comprehend the sword intent contained within those words, and with each reading, he gained a deeper understanding of the sword path.

He could sense that his swordsmanship, which had not improved for hundreds of years, had once again become a possibility for further advancement.

Lei Jingming, who was standing nearby, was also observing the sword-writing left by Chen Yi.

However, his strength was much lower than that of Sword Master Haoran, and apart from the sharp and deadly sword, he could not sense anything else.

If he hadn't witnessed the entire process of Chen Yi carving the words with his own eyes, and hadn't had the style and divine intent of Chen Yi's sword strike in his mind, he probably wouldn't have been able to comprehend anything at this moment.

Zhao Tianhe used his mental perception to examine the master and disciple for a moment, then transmitted his voice to Zhao Muzi and asked:

"Senior brother, does Haoran already know that Chen Yi possesses the rudiments of the Sword Dao?"

"That's how it should be."

Zhao Muzi had already guessed this, so she wasn't surprised.

"It's a good thing that they know, for Chen Yi, for Xun Wangtian, and for you and me."

After a pause, Zhao Muzi looked up at the sky, her eyes reflecting the golden, glittering pagodas and palaces of Mount Ling, and said thoughtfully:
"Now that Mount Ling has emerged, the ancient places of inheritance such as the Dao Court, the Demon Court, the Underworld, the Purgatory, and the Confucian Sage Palace should not be far from emerging as well."

"At that time, the three thousand Daoists will wage war on Mount Taizhou. Having another realm lord will be more beneficial to us."

"What a pity... what a pity that the old monk has fallen into demonic possession."

Zhao Tianhe was stunned for a moment, then looked at him in surprise: "Senior brother, are you talking about the monk Fayun from the Vajra Realm? He's fallen into demonic possession?!"

Looking beyond the Weak Water Realm, Zhao Muzi saw the strange creature fleeing in panic, and naturally also saw Dizang and Gu Ying chasing after it.

After observing for a long time, he pondered and said, "To be precise, the old monk did not fall into demonic possession, but rather he strayed from Buddhism."

Merit and vows are the main practices of Buddhism, while karma and karmic obstacles are the forces that most restrain Buddhism.

The old monk Fayun relied primarily on karma, using the red lotus karmic fire to solidify his physical body, which was naturally a betrayal of Buddhism.

"Then wouldn't he be like this now..."

Zhao Tianhe did not continue speaking, but his words were filled with regret for the old monk.

He had been in Xunwangtian for many years. Although he didn't have much contact with the old monk, Sword Master Haoran, and others, they were still quite familiar with each other.

He was well aware of the old monk's ordeal when the Vajra Realm was attacked by the "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss" years ago, but unfortunately, it was too late when he and Zhao Muzi arrived.

It is neither surprising nor unexpected that the old monk has now chosen to leave Buddhism.

Zhao Muzi sighed and said, "His current situation is all thanks to the actions of the 'Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss'."

"So when he saw that the 'Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss' had truly obtained the inheritance of Mount Sumeru, he found it hard to accept and chose to betray Buddhism... I can understand that."

After a pause, Zhao Muzi continued, "Buddhism teaches cause and effect, emphasizing that everything in the world has a cause and an effect. I believe he himself understands this."

Zhao Tianhe glanced at him, then let out a soft sigh.

“Senior brother, although I already knew about your and Yin Yin’s choices, it’s really hard to say what the future holds for ‘General’ and the others.”

"You and I know better than anyone how dangerous those people in the 'Pure Land of Bliss' are."

Zhao Muzi pursed her lips slightly, a desolate look appearing on her somewhat aged face, and said in an ambiguous tone:

“Junior brother, this matter is the result of discussions between me and Yin Yin and others. It is not that I am unwilling to take action against ‘Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss’, but that there are too many secrets about Mount Taizhou that cannot be explained.”

"secret?"

"Just like the 'Bridge Between Heaven and Earth,' all the Dao principles in ancient times were connected to Mount Taizhou, and now most of them are on the 'Bridge Between Heaven and Earth.'"

"Just like the 'Nether River,' the 'Nether River' in ancient times was a hidden river. Ordinary cultivators had never even heard of it, let alone seen it. But now it flows directly down from Mount Taizhou and even connects to the Tianyuan Continent."

"Just like those ancient inheritances, I don't know why they became secret realms, nor why those powerful beings of the past disappeared..."

At this point, Zhao Muzi paused for a moment, turned to look at Zhao Tianhe, and transmitted her voice earnestly:
"These secrets require the revelation of ancient traditions before we can find the answers."

Zhao Tianhe suddenly realized, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "I understand."

"I will do whatever my senior brother says."

"I urge you to be cautious, senior brother. That 'general'... Mani Kasyapa and the others are all treacherous people. We must be wary of them."

Zhao Muzi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother."

Zhao Tianhe naturally trusted Zhao Muzi. The two had cultivated in Xunwangtian for many years and knew each other very well.

What he was worried about were Yin Yin's "detached ones".

You have to understand that those people have the same cultivation level as his senior brother, and their strength is almost the same. It's hard to guarantee that they won't have any bad intentions.

But now that things have come to this, there's not much he can say.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tianhe's gaze fell on Haoran Sword Master and Lei Jingming, who were standing to the side.

After a moment of thought, he spoke again: "Senior brother, apart from the Eighth Prince, Chen Yi has the highest cultivation and supernatural power in Xunwangtian. Moreover, after exploring Marshal Tianpeng's mansion this time, his strength should have broken through. Perhaps in the future, you and I will really need to rely on him."

Zhao Muzi chuckled upon hearing this, then looked down at the human territory below Mount Taizhou and said with a smile:

"He is indeed exceptionally talented, far more so than many others on Mount Taizhou."

"Leaving aside the distant future, Xun Wangtian has already gained a great deal from this conflict between the human race and the demons on the Tianyuan Continent."

"In fact, you, me, and Qingfeng should thank Chen Yi."

Zhao Tianhe nodded, "Indeed, it's all thanks to him; otherwise, Xun Wangtian probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for many more years."

He paused, then continued, "Senior brother, if Sword Master Haoran invites Chen Yi to join the Sword Dao Heaven later, what should we do?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Muzi said, "Just do as Chen Yi suggests."

"However, I believe that it is unlikely that Sword Master Haoran will invite Chen Yi to join the Sword Dao Heaven, at least not in the short term."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Because of Mount Ling."

Zhao Muzi looked again at the massive pagodas and palace complex floating in the sky and transmitted her voice, saying, "Just as you were worried about, Sword Master Haoran and the others are also concerned about the movements of Mount Ling. They will not really believe that Mount Ling has let go of past grievances just because of a word from Mani Kasyapa, nor will they be naive enough to not take any precautions."

Zhao Tianhe understood and replied with a smile, "It seems that Sword Master Haoran is not always a rigid person after all."

"Nothing lasts forever."

"Although he cultivates the way of the sword and devotes his heart to the sword, he also needs to assess the situation. Right now, we need to see when the ancient Dao Court, the Demon Court and other inheritances will emerge."

"What my senior brother says is true..."

……

When the ancient sacred mountain appeared in the world.

Not only did the powerful beings from various realms on Mount Taizhou see it, but also several ancestors, including Baishan, in the human fortress at the foot of Mount Taizhou witnessed the scene.

Therefore, almost immediately after Mount Ling disappeared, the White Mountain Ancestor summoned many ancestors, pillars, and many powerful figures from the Buddhist sect to Tianqiong Jiancheng.

"...The appearance of Mount Ling means that, as Chen Yi said before he left, the ancient Daoist traditions have begun their conquest. We should make preparations as soon as possible."

"Brother Baishan, did Chen Yi leave a message before he left?"

Hong Tian grinned. "You've been keeping this a secret for a while now, only telling me now."

Bai Shan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Chen Yi specifically instructed that if anything changes at Tai Zhou Mountain before he returns, I can then tell you."

"Otherwise, telling you in advance would only cause you unnecessary worry and wouldn't help at all."

Before Hong Tian could say anything more, Kuang Laomo interrupted, "Old Hong, don't interrupt Brother Baishan yet, let him continue."

"Now that Mount Ling has appeared, did Chen Yi tell us what preparations we should make?"

The Old Ancestor of Baishan nodded slightly and said, "He said a few words."

"If the ancient demon court appears first, let us focus all our efforts on defending against them, lest they break the contract and launch a large-scale attack."

"If Mount Ling appears in the world, then we need to ask the Buddhist disciples in each city what they think."

Hong Tian suddenly realized, looked at the group of Buddhist masters sitting not far away, and said, "No wonder you summoned them here this time."

"Then tell me, what are your thoughts after Mount Ling appeared in the world? Or, what impact has the appearance of Mount Ling had on you?"

Although he was asking a group of Buddhist disciples, his gaze was actually fixed on the Buddhist patriarch who was stationed near the city of Earth Flame.

— Monk Faming.

"It won't have much impact on us."

After a pause, Monk Faming said solemnly, "It should be said that after Mount Ling appeared in the world, it has become easier for us to cultivate Buddhism. Moreover, if we succeed in our cultivation, we can obtain a position on Mount Ling and ascend to the Great Hall of Mount Ling."

"Oh?"

The White Mountain Ancestor and the others exchanged glances. "You mean, we human cultivators in the fortified city can also go to Mount Ling?"

Monk Faming nodded and said, "That's exactly right."

"Not only those of you here, but even Buddhist cultivators from the Tianyuan Continent can go to Mount Ling."

Upon hearing this, Old Demon Kuang frowned and said, "If I remember correctly, the Buddhist disciple from Dakong Temple was guided there by the people from Lingshan?"

Hong Tian shook his head and said, "Not only Jieyin, but according to the Buddhas we saw before, Fuchen, the Buddha of Dakong Temple, is now an ancient Buddha of Lingshan, whose status is only below Mani Kasyapa."

“Even Chen Yuan, the grandson of Zhou Tianze, the Marquis of Jingye of the Wei Dynasty, is now a Buddha in the Great Buddha Hall of Lingshan.”

The monk Faming understood their intention in saying these words. After reciting Amitabha, he sighed and said:

“The Buddhist disciple of Dakong Temple… If he hadn’t deceived the Buddhist community before, we monks wouldn’t be in this embarrassing situation now.”

"Even if he becomes the Ancient Buddha of Mount Ling, it will be difficult for this humble monk to change his opinion of him. Please rest assured on this point."

“Monk Faming is overthinking it.”

The White Mountain Ancestor waved his hand and said, "When we fought the Demon Court before, you and the other Buddhist disciples contributed greatly. How can we be wary of you because of Fu Chen?"

"Even though Buddhism is suppressed in Tianyuan Continent because of Emperor Wei, it will not be the case here in Taizhou Mountain."

Monk Faming said with gratitude, "Then I suggest that we follow Chen Yi's advice and treat the matter of Mount Ling with a calm mind, since we are now far away from Mount Taizhou."

After a moment's thought, the Old Ancestor of Baishan looked at the others and asked, "What do you think?"

"We will make two preparations first. On the one hand, we will allow Buddhist disciples to improve their cultivation with the help of Mount Ling. On the other hand, we will also be ready to deal with any changes on Mount Taizhou."

"In that case, it's feasible..."

The gathering of the human race's patriarch and others in Sky Dome City naturally attracted the attention of Lin Xueru and others.

Even though they are currently preparing for the duel with the Demon Court nine years from now, spending their days cultivating and in seclusion, they are not completely unaware of the outside world.

Xiao Xuanzhen, who is relatively more active, brings most of the news from the outside world.

So when she learned that the ancient sacred mountain had appeared and that the ancestors such as Bai Shan had gathered in Tianqiong City, she immediately shared the news with Lin Xueru, Flower Fairy and others.

"Mount Ling has appeared in the world!"

"Junior sister, junior sister, something has happened at Mount Taizhou!"

Lin Xueru and the Flower Fairy were taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Senior Sister Xiao, will the changes at Taizhou Mountain affect Brother Yi?"

Xiao Xuanzhen's smile froze. "Junior sisters, that is Mount Ling, the ancient Buddhist lineage where powerful figures resided."

"How could he possibly be related to Chen Yi? He's not a monk."

Lin Xueru breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, patted her chest, and said, "Then what kind of unexpected event did you mention? You made me think something bad had happened."

The Flower Fairy also relaxed and nodded, saying, "Senior Sister, the appearance of Mount Ling in the mortal world should not have much to do with us."

"As Senior Brother Chen Yi said before he left, only the appearance of the ancient Dao Court in the world can benefit us."

"I... how could I not know?"

"Ugh, you two keep talking about Chen Yi, it's so annoying."

Seeing that Xiao Xuanzhen was angry, Lin Xueru playfully grabbed her hand and coaxed her:
"Senior sister, I know you care about Brother Yi too, don't you?"

"Who, who cares about him? It's only because you guys think that bastard is good, I don't think so..."

Xie Dong'an, Wei Nantian, and the others who were not far away also heard it. After exchanging glances, they couldn't help but show some complicated smiles.

"Chen Yi is now our human race's ancestor, and he has even gone to explore Mount Taizhou. He is no longer someone we can catch up with."

Upon hearing Wei Nantian's words, Xie Dong'an shook his head slightly and said, "Quite the opposite."

"Oh? Brother Dong'an thinks that way?"

Xie Dong'an said calmly, "If it weren't for him, we would have had no chance at all in the last great war between the human race and the demon court."

"It is because Yi Ge'er went to Tai Zhou Mountain and opened up a road for our human race to reach there that we have the opportunity to catch up with him."

"hope so……"
