Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 530 529. Supernatural Powers Are No Match for Destiny ( words, three chapters in one)

Tang Xiaotang seemed to have known about Xu Yuanzhen's situation for a long time and was not surprised.

Even so, she still curled her lips at this moment, and her tone was a little sour: "You won't be so lucky next time."

The magic of the instant divine water is not effective for everyone.

Among the five innate elements, only the Taishi Daoti has unique advantages in this regard.

If not for this, Xu Yuanzhen would not be able to distort time and space to such an extent with just the Taishi Dao body, and even ignore the rules and regulations for breakthroughs between different realms.

In an instant, the divine water was completely consumed.

"It's okay, we'll talk about it later." Xu Yuanzhen didn't care much about it.

Tang Xiaotang turned to ask Lei Jun: "I have been concentrating on retreat these days. How is the situation outside?"

Lei Jun: "The situation in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is generally good. Gao Tianjun has not appeared in the world again, and Mr. Beichen has not returned there. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can feel a trend of gradually closing and reappearing in the two worlds of heaven and earth, but there is still a gap in time.

In the Confucian world, a fierce battle broke out between Yan Zi and Mr. Le Yuan.

The Demon Buddha lineage invaded Zhongzhou, and the Zheng family and other small families in Hezhong Prefecture were on high alert. "

On the Confucian world side, the Abyss of Time is located directly in the human world or the human world, as if it is roughly in the middle reaches of a river, and to some extent is connected with the rushing river.

Since the invasion of the Demon Buddha, the northern and southern areas of Jinghu and Xianghu have been under the most direct threat.

However, because of Kong Moyu, the demon-Buddha lineage from the world of demons has mainly moved northward in recent years.

The Jingchu side suffered the most obvious disaster. The magic and Buddha masters even went all the way up and arrived in the Nanyang area, and further went north to threaten Zhongzhou.

Since Mr. Beichen Zheng Baiyu took action, the enemy's invasion momentum was stopped and they were pushed back to the northern part of the Yangtze River Basin.

The Zheng family, into which Zheng Baiyu was born, was one of the mainstays of the old Confucian school of thought. It had always been the largest and most prominent family in Zhongzhou and even in the Central Plains, dominating the Hezhong Prefecture in Zhongzhou.

At the same time, the Zheng family also controls a lot of Kongmo jade savings in the world.

The masters of the Demon Buddha lineage went north, Jingchu fell, and the Zheng family in Zhongzhou faced the threat directly.

Although Zheng Baiyu took action to force the opponent to retreat and suppress him, the Zheng family in Zhongzhou still did not dare to be careless.

The former patriarch of the Zheng family, Zheng Yan, is known as one of the three great kings of Confucianism together with the former patriarch of the Guanzhong Wu family, Mr. Wu Hailin, who is also known as Mr. Leyuan.

This time, they are at war with the new Confucianism, and at the same time they have to be wary of the descendants of the Demon Buddha from the Abyss of Time. Therefore, Zheng Yan stays in Zhongzhou and does not leave. While looking after the Zheng family, he also takes care of other Confucian old school families.

"With the changing situation, the head of the Zheng family is gradually getting restless," Lei Junyan said.

At this point in time, just like the old Confucianism, the new Confucianism also has three Confucian kings who have reached the three levels of Confucian sagehood and achieved the three immortalities.

In addition to Yan Zi, there are Jiao Feiyang, who was born in Kuaiji, eastern Zhejiang and was known as the greatest master of the new Confucianism in Liangzhe, and Lian Feng, the leader of the new learning in Yanzhao and the master of Shuofeng Mountain.

Overall, there are still more people studying Confucianism and more learned scholars.

But fortunately, there were masters at the top third level of Confucian sainthood, so the two sides were in a three-on-three situation.

Therefore, other monks in the new Confucian school have room to expand. They can try to use the characteristics of the old Confucian school's family cultural context that must be adhered to, and compete with the other side.

In addition to Wu Hailin and Zheng Yan, there is another Confucian king of the third level of the fairyland in the old school, Qiu Li, the former patriarch of the Qilu Qiu family, who is currently fighting with Jiao Feiyang, who is also at the third level of the Confucian saint.

Lian Feng, the proponent of the new school of thought in Yan and Zhao, took the initiative to attack the famous Confucian families of the old school in Jinzhong.

The Three Jins were currently in danger, forcing Zheng Yan, who was stationed in Hezhong Prefecture in Zhongzhou, to consider coming out to provide assistance.

Although there were also masters of the old Confucianism who intended to use the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao and invade Jiangdong, Liangzhe, Yanzhao and other places where the new Confucianism was practiced, the new Confucianism responded in an orderly manner. Although Zhang Wantong kept a low profile after coming to the Confucian world, no one could underestimate her as she stayed in Jiangdong for the time being.

"I'm more interested in what Zheng Baiyu is planning." Xu Yuanzhen said.

Lei Jun: “I agree.”

"Then let's go to the Abyss of Time and take a look." Tang Xiaotang: "Well, okay, I still want to find the old crow that sneaked here before. I haven't heard that he has returned to the Abyss of Time or the world of demons..."

Lei Jun: "First, you, Little Senior Sister, were watching him. When you started to practice in seclusion, everyone in the Abyss of Time was also paying attention to Zheng Baiyu and the descendant of the Demon Buddha. The Great Sun Demon Saint was also worried that the fire at the city gate would affect everyone. But if the situation in the Abyss of Time gets more chaotic, perhaps the Great Sun Demon Saint would consider taking advantage of the situation."

As they were talking, Xu Yuanzhen had already gone ahead, and Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang followed side by side.

However, before they reached the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the Heaven-Connecting and Earth-Clearing Dharma Talisman flashed faintly in Lei Jun's pupils.

Xu Yuanzhen kept walking, but slightly turned his head back.

Tang Xiaotang turned to look at Lei Jun and asked, "What happened?"

"The situation has changed a bit. The old school master Qiu has severely injured Mr. Jiao from Kuaiji." The light in Lei Jun's eyes gradually faded: "His Majesty the Emperor of Tang has rushed over urgently."

Tang Xiaotang: "This is not the first time they have fought each other. They are basically evenly matched. They have won and lost before but they were all small wins and losses. This time, Qiu Li won a big victory? How did he do it?"

Lei Jun: "The details are still unknown at the moment. His Majesty the Emperor of Tang may send another message later."

Xu Yuanzhen suddenly asked, "Where is Lian Feng?"

Lei Jun: "I heard he's still in Jinzhong."

....................................

Huai'an Prefecture in the Jianghuai region was once a place where culture and art gathered, and many famous families had been passed down from generation to generation here for many years.

Afterwards, due to the demons from outside the region, the culture and prosperity of this place declined and the noble families no longer existed.

To this day, there is neither a revival of the old Confucian school of thought here, nor a flourishing new school of thought.

This is because this place is the forefront of the struggle between the two sides, and there has been frequent tug-of-war over the years, so no one can gain a firm foothold here.

And now outside the city of Huai'an, there stands a tall stone tablet that flashes a faint light, as if it was cast with countless words together.

The stone tablet is huge and towering, and looks like a solitary peak from a distance.

Originally the stone tablet stood silently.

But suddenly the light on its surface began to flicker rapidly and violently.

Along with this flash of light, gusts of breeze suddenly appeared.

Affected by the breeze, the light on the monument suddenly dimmed a lot.

Fortunately, a figure still emerged from the condensed light.

He was a scholar who looked to be only 30 or 40 years old. He had a free and easy demeanor, but in front of him, his face was pale and his skin was extremely pale.

There are currently some new Confucian students in Huai'an City. They are standing on the top of the city wall looking at the shining monument outside the city and the figures appearing in the monument. Everyone is happy at first, but then they gradually realize that something is wrong, and their hearts begin to sink.

The young-looking scholar was clearly Jiao Feiyang, one of the three great masters of the new Confucian school.

But Jiao Feiyang's current situation looks quite unfavorable.

That monument is the embodiment of Jiao Feiyang's literary talent and is also known as the Monument of Merit.

The monks of the Confucian classics who opened the gate to immortality and ascended to the fairyland are also called instant saints.

Confucian sages practice the three immortalities: establishing words, establishing merit, and establishing virtue.

Those who establish their own opinions in the first level of the fairyland will obtain classics that will be passed down from generation to generation. Under the influence of the literary tradition of the profound words and profound principles of Confucian sages, they can write down their own profound words and profound principles in books and pass them on to others, especially those whose realm is relatively lower than theirs, so that their articles will spread throughout the world and educate all living beings.

It is obvious that the classic books handed down from generation to generation, if used in actual combat, are more conducive to commanding and improving others, but their role in one's own battles is relatively limited. Therefore, a Confucian sage who has made immortal statements may be slightly at a disadvantage when facing a fairyland master of the same level.

But when one reaches the second realm of the fairyland, a Confucian sage who has achieved success can condense his own monument of merit. His profound words and great principles, as well as the will of heaven and my heart, can interfere with the formulation of laws. Within a certain range and under specific circumstances, they can be circulated for a long time and play a role, thus suppressing the opponent.

In addition, the monument is in people's hearts, passed down from mouth to mouth, and its name will be passed down through the ages. Therefore, the Confucian saints who have reached this level begin to have a certain degree of power of rebirth and resurrection, which is also called eternal fame.

This naturally provides additional confidence for the Confucian sages in actual combat tactics.

Naturally, if it is not necessary, the Confucian sages do not want to really use such a method.

But now, Jiao Feiyang was clearly relying on the monument of merit he left outside Huai'an City to be reborn and retreat from the front line.

How could Mr. Jiao, who was at the third level of Confucian sainthood, be so severely injured by his opponent?
Just as everyone's thoughts turned to this point, they suddenly saw another person appear in the distance outside the city.

The other person seemed to appear with the breeze, and he was an old man who looked old, but had a thin and elegant face and bright eyes.

The students of the new Confucian school in Huai'an City felt even more depressed when they saw the other party appear.

The head of the Qilu Qiu family, Qiu Li, a Confucian saint at the third level of the fairyland.

His clothes fluttered in the wind.

Although the breeze seemed weak, it actually shook the monument that seemed to stand as tall and straight as a solitary peak.

The three levels of Confucian sages are to establish virtue.

The so-called wind is the virtue of a gentleman like wind, and the virtue of a villain like grass. The wind will bend the grass.

A virtuous gentleman is like the wind. Wherever he passes, he educates the people. Everyone obeys him, respects him, and moves with the wind.

Therefore, the Confucian King who has reached the third level of the Confucian Sage realm can often defeat the enemy without fighting. Even if he formally takes action, he can often overwhelm his opponent and force him to comply with the standard rules set by the Confucian Sage, and even attract the opponent to actively approach him in all aspects.

Jiao Feiyang is also a third-level Confucian saint in the fairyland, but he is quite weak at the moment. Facing Qiu Li, who was originally evenly matched with him, he is unable to cope with him in all aspects.

Qiu Li successfully suppressed his opponent, and it was almost impossible for his opponent to make a comeback.

Although the new Confucian students of Huai'an Chengzhong did not bow down to the emperor, they were also troubled at this moment.

Rather than being afraid to confront the opponent in front of them, their current thoughts were more like...

I shouldn't fight against the opponent in front of me.

This is naturally due to the influence of the moral style achieved by the Confucian sage Qiu Li's three levels of virtue.

Confucian students know this very well, so they constantly force their minds to fight against it. After repeating this process over and over again, their minds are conflicted, making it difficult for them to control their mood.

At the same time, everyone was also shocked as to why Jiao Feiyang was severely injured by his opponent and was even forced to use the monument to regain people's hearts, so that he was restricted at every step.

Jiao Feiyang looked at Qiu Li who was coming with the wind from afar, then moved his gaze to behind Qiu Li. He didn't say much, but just sighed softly.

Qiu Li came with the wind and stood on a huge ink-colored carriage frame.

His presence is so strong that people ignore the other people riding with him.

In front of Qiu Li, the driver of the black carriage was a middle-aged scholar.

His name was Qiu Xuanhe, and like Qiu Li, he was from the Qiu family in Qi and Lu.

Behind Qiu Li stood two other scholars, one on his left and one on his right.

One is the head of the Huo family in Yuanzhou, Hunan and Jiangxi. Huo Zhen is a Confucian saint of the second level in the fairyland. He has always been the leader of the old Confucianism in Hunan and Jiangxi. Looking at the world, he is the top master of the old Confucianism after Wu Hailin, Zheng Yan, and Qiu Li.

And the other person...

Some of the new Confucian scholars suddenly widened their eyes.

The other person standing behind Qiu Li was obviously one of the great masters of the new Confucianism in the Liangzhe area, You Yuening, the owner of Wei Yu Zhai.

You Yuening was born in Jiyang, Jiangyin, but he studied in Liangzhe for many years. He was a representative figure of the new learning in Liangzhe besides Jiao Feiyang.

At this time, he stood calmly behind Qiu Li, and the reason why Jiao Feiyang was seriously injured was obvious.

Facing Jiao Feiyang's sigh and the incredulous looks of the new students of Huai'an Chengzhong, You Yuening remained calm.

If there were other options, he would not want to stand out in public, even though his You family had already moved quietly temporarily.

But since he failed to completely detain Jiao Feiyang on the spot, allowing the other party to successfully use the merit monument to revive his mind elsewhere, the secret that You Yuening had cooperated with Qiu Li and others to severely injure him was naturally difficult to keep.

At this point, You Yuening calmly traveled with Qiu Li, Qiu Xuanhe, and Huo Zhen.

Qiu Lizhe nodded slightly to Huo Zhen and You Yuening: "So far, we can say that the mission is accomplished. There is no need to blame or demand perfection. You two can go first."

You Yuening wants to take care of his relatives.

Considering that Yan Aoyun, Lian Feng and others are still alive, when Jiao Feiyang was seriously injured and even in danger of his life, the next step for the old Confucianism to infiltrate the Liangzhe area is still to rely on You Yuening and the You family.

The old learning families in Liangzhe had already declined and died out. Under the current situation, the Wu, Zheng, Qiu and other families were willing to help the You family to consolidate the cultural heritage and gain a foothold in Liangzhe, and look to Jiangdong again.

The Huo family of Yuanzhou is located at the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi, and is also threatened by the Abyss of Time in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

Although the descendants of the Demon Buddha lineage are currently mainly concentrated in Jiangbei, the Huo family of Yuanzhou must not let their guard down either.

It was also for this reason that the head of the family, Huo Zhen, suddenly left Hunan and Jiangxi and headed north. On the one hand, he contacted and persuaded You Yuening, and on the other hand, he assisted Qiu Li in plotting against Jiao Feiyang. This was beyond the expectations of many people and achieved the effect of a surprise attack.

Taking into account the threats from the Abyss of Time and the descendants of the Demon Buddha, it is not advisable for Huo Zhen to stay away from Yuanzhou for a long time. Although the overall situation in Huaisi is not settled, at least the old Confucianism has achieved the original expected strategic goals, so Huo Zhen can return to Hunan and Jiangxi.

While Qiu Li was speaking, he showed no mercy.

With the influence of his virtue, seemingly inconspicuous, it has already enveloped the surrounding areas of Huai'an.

In a flash, the glory of the monument of merit beside Jiao Feiyang dimmed, and then collapsed silently!
Jiao Feiyang and Qiu Li are old rivals, and there was no surprise on their faces when they saw this.

As the most prestigious Confucian family of the time, the Qiu family has accumulated a profound and prosperous cultural heritage in Qi and Lu, and has steadily nurtured the spiritual roots of Confucianism at the level of inspiration, which is known as "talented people of great talent".

A Confucian practitioner who has achieved great talent can not only achieve twice the result with half the effort in practicing Confucian methods, but also make rapid progress. In actual combat with others, he can also seize and squeeze the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth and transform it into his own cultural and noble aura, thus creating an advantage that is difficult to reverse easily. Therefore, he has one stone of talent but is given the name of "eight buckets".

The mystery of this root bone, combined with the virtue of the three-level Confucian king of the fairyland, can be said to complement each other, making each other more powerful.

The weaker the person is than Qiu Li, the more difficult it is for him to fight back, and there is little chance of a comeback.

When Jiao Feiyang was in good condition, he could still fight against him, but now he might lose everything if he miscalculated.

Fortunately, at this moment, another white light appeared in the south of Huai'an Cheng.

Huo Zhen and You Yuening, who were about to say goodbye and leave, couldn't help but slow down their pace.

Qiu Xuanhe, who was driving, looked back and said, "Uncle, that's Zhang..."

Qiu Li's expression became more serious and he nodded: "Yes, Zhang Wantong."

As the white light flashed, a woman in Confucian clothing came towards the north.

Jiao Feiyang faced Qiu Li and the others, without looking back, but said, "I am ashamed, thank you for your hard work, Tianrui."

In the white light, Zhang Wantong's figure was hazy, as if overlapping with multiple figures. "Sir, your words are respectful. Let's take care of the present first and talk about the past later."

....................................

The Wang family of Jinzhong has long been known as the number one family in the Three Jins among the Confucian scholars, and is one of the most famous Confucian families in the north.

But now, the ancestral land of the Wang family in Jinzhong is already crumbling, and the prohibition of its ancestral land has been torn open by someone, and continues to break through inward.

The cultural talent condensed by the Wang family in Jinzhong was as high as a pillar in the sky, but it was turbulent and shaking at this time, and was repeatedly cut off. Although it was quickly reconnected, it was much weaker than before. Then it was cut off and continued again, and it kept getting worse and worse.

The person who is currently attacking the ancestral land of the Wang family in Jinzhong is none other than Lian Feng, the leader of the new Confucian school of Ai Yan and Zhao, the lord of Shuofeng Mountain.

Also joining the battle were other masters of the new Confucian school.

Besides Lian Feng, another top scholar among them is Zhang Zhuo, a Confucian saint who is at the second level of the fairyland.

He suddenly paused, then splashed ink in the air, condensing an article.

After reading the information written on the article, Zhang Zhuo frowned slightly and quickly notified Lian Feng.

The news was about Jiao Feiyang and You Yuening.

Upon hearing the news, Lian Feng did not slow down his sword in his hand, and his expression remained calm: "Since Zhang Tianrui has already gone north to Huaisi to provide support, the situation can be controlled. Let's continue our fight."

Although they gradually drifted apart due to different ideas from Yan Aoyun and Jiao Feiyang, for Lian Feng and others, the old Confucianism was still an enemy.

Zhang Zhuo nodded and sent a message to other new monks nearby: "You Yuening's matter must be made public after all."

Lian Feng: “Not bad.”

Zhang Zhuo's voice was slightly lowered: "Traitors are certainly hateful, but we need to be more vigilant and beware of more than one You Yuening."

Lian Feng: "If we let things run wild without any rules, it may lead to such disasters."

Zhang Zhuo: "In ancient times, even though there were many bad things, if the ancient heavenly palace had not collapsed and the heavenly rules had not ceased to exist, the world would never have seen the current situation of aristocratic Confucian scholars and enclosure of cultural heritage."

Lian Feng: "It is true that the task is arduous and the road ahead is long, but as long as we are on the right path, we don't need to be confused, and we are not alone."

As he spoke, he swung his sword, accompanied by a virtuous wind, cutting off the Wang family's spiritual energy and completely breaking the restrictions on the Wang family's ancestral land.

Then more new masters of Yan and Zhao began to attack.

No matter how unwilling the Jinzhong Wang family was, facing the Confucian King Lian Feng who was at the third level of the fairyland, they had no choice but to start planning a breakout.

Lian Feng also stepped into the Wang family's ancestral land, but instructed his second-in-command Zhang Zhuo:
"Whether it's Zheng Beichen or Zhang Tianrui, we must not take it lightly. Zhang Tianrui is about to take on the Qilu Qiu family, but Zheng Beichen has been acting too normal recently."

Because of his communication with Gao Tiansui, he was deeply wary of Zheng Baiyu.

The biggest abnormality is that the other person is too normal.

"Yan Zi and Wu Leyuan have certainly been paying attention to him, and even the Zheng family in Zhongzhou seems to be the same." Zhang Zhuoyan said, "Since the Wang family in Jinzhong has been destroyed, I will go to Zhongzhou again. If there is any change, I will inform the mountain master."

Lian Feng: "That's great. Thank you for your hard work."

....................................

As the Confucian world and the human world are at war, the demons on earth are also ready to make a move.

Compared to the human world, the situation among the demon clan in the earthly world is more chaotic.

Groups of monsters, each doing their own thing, became active. Some invaded the human world and looked for opportunities to devour human monks and common people as blood food, while others made other plans.

The huge black shadow looked even more obscure in the gloomy land.

The black shadow landed on a solitary peak on earth and stopped steadily. Only then could one vaguely see its true appearance. It was a strange bird with nine heads. The heads looked like neither a bird nor a bird, and like neither a snake nor a snake. When it opened its mouth, black air flowed out. Its eighteen eyes were extremely ferocious, and its wings were spread out, covering the sky and the sun, with a black wind swirling around.

In contrast, another giant bird had already landed on the solitary peak. Its figure was even darker and deeper, as if swallowing up the surrounding light like a solar eclipse, and three legs were vaguely visible.

It was none other than the Great Sun Demon Saint who had come from the world of demons and monsters. His original form was the Golden Crow, but he cultivated demonic energy and evil spirits.

He had been pursued by Tang Xiaotang in the past and had rarely had peace in recent years.

In the land of Rulin World, there is a strong evil atmosphere and demonic aura, but the Great Sun Demon Saint lives here peacefully.

But compared to the happiness in the previous world of demons, the human power here is obviously overwhelming the demon power.

The nine heads of the Ghost Cart Demon Saint flew in front of it and spoke at the same time: "You want to run away alone?"

The Great Sun Demon Saint said calmly: "I want to leave alone, you won't be able to find me at all."

The Ghost Car Demon Saint had a fierce look in his eyes.

Beside the Great Sun Demon Saint, there was a demon insect that was much smaller in size but had a fierce and violent demonic aura. Its colors were as colorful as tiger stripes. Like the Ghost Chariot Demon Saint, it was a great demon that lived in the terrestrial world of Confucianism, the Poisonous Snake Demon Saint.

After learning about the situation in the world of demons, they had the same ideas as the Kunpeng Demon Saint in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The two monsters have been stuck in the second level of the Monster Saint realm for many years. On the one hand, there are threats from human masters, and on the other hand, there are the top monsters such as Taotie in the world, which may also be obstacles to them.

Therefore, the Ghost Chariot Demon Saint and the Poison Snake Demon Saint both regard the world of demons as an opportunity to reach a higher level.

However, due to the current situation of the Abyss of Time in the Confucian world, it is extremely difficult to go to the world of demons.

The demons also have their own thoughts.

Although he was familiar with the Great Sun Demon Saint, the Ghost Chariot Demon Saint even suspected that if the Poison Snake Demon Saint had not kept a close eye on him, the Great Sun Demon Saint would have slipped away alone.

Regarding the Great Sun Demon Saint's statement, the Poisonous Snake Demon Saint did not comment, but only asked: "Is now the right time?"

Great Sun Demon Saint: "Yes, there will be major changes in the Abyss of Time in the near future. If there is an opportunity, it will be soon."

After saying that, it flapped its wings, flew away from the lonely peak, and went beyond the earth.

Upon seeing this, the Ghost Chariot Demon Saint and the Poison Snake Demon Saint immediately followed.

They ignored the fights between other demon races and humans or the clashes between human monks, and instead tried to hide their tracks, sneak into the human world away from anyone's eyes, and approach the direction of the Abyss of Time.

When they reached the middle reaches of the river, the Great Sun Demon Saint slowed down his pace and just wandered around the periphery.

It gazed at the abyss of time that seemed to be the boundary between heaven and earth, and pondered in its heart.

Separated by two worlds, it is difficult for it to communicate with the Demon Dragon Emperor who is far away in the heaven of the demon world.

But fortunately, not long ago, the Demon Dragon Emperor sent it a message:
The Great Destroying Bodhisattva of the Earth Realm and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree of the Human Realm finally reached a truce recently.

Little content, big impact.

Upon hearing the news, the Great Sun Demon Saint immediately became extremely alert.

The news from the Demon Dragon Emperor could certainly not be wrong.

As a result, due to the chain reaction, the Confucian world on the side of the Abyss of Time will surely undergo tremendous changes.

However, the specific time of the change is currently unknown.

This is not something the Great Sun Demon Saint can decide at the moment, it can only wait patiently.

The Ghost Chariot Demon Saint and the Poison Snake Demon Saint were anxious before, but now they were silent and just stared at the Big Sun Demon Saint.

Until one day...

"Here it comes!" The Great Sun Demon Saint suddenly became alert.

Without it saying anything, the Ghost Chariot Demon Saint and the Poison Snake Demon Saint both knew that a big change was really coming.

The Abyss of Time, located above the middle reaches of the river, like a scar in the sky, suddenly shook violently.

The abyss where time and space were confused was already extremely huge, stretching across the sky, but at this moment it continued to expand.

Moreover, the cracks do not simply become thicker and longer.

Instead, there seemed to be something inside the gap, pushing the abyss apart.

The long and narrow gap suddenly turned into a huge circular gap.

The turbulence continued to sweep in all directions, causing the entire Confucian world to be distorted and the spiritual energy veins of heaven and earth to change on a large scale.

In the north of the Abyss of Time, a large number of descendants of the Demon Buddha were fighting with the local Confucian monks.

At this time, all the descendants of the Demon Buddha stopped and worshiped towards the Abyss of Time.

Their opponents did not take advantage of the opportunity to attack, either because they were unwilling or unable to do so.

A group of Confucian monks felt that the clarity of their hearts seemed to be obscured by filth, and they developed impulses of restlessness, bloodthirstiness and war. This impulse was not only directed at the descendants of the Demon Buddha in front of them, but also at each other. The hostility in their hearts was almost completely blinding their reasoning, and they only wanted to destroy everything in front of them.

In the huge gap that was stretched into a circle, a monk with a pitch-black body, who looked like a Buddha statue the size of an ordinary person, appeared from the abyss of time as if he had fallen from the sky.

The monk has a solemn appearance, a blank expression on his face, showing neither joy nor anger, and his gender is difficult to discern.

But He just stood there, and drastic changes occurred at the intersection of the abyss of time around Him and the Confucian world.

The circular gap continued to expand outward, shattering the time and space of the surrounding world, and everything was reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.

The monk dressed entirely in black ignored the scene around him, stepped into the air, and walked slowly toward the outside of the Abyss of Time.

His steps didn't seem to be fast, he seemed like an ordinary person, just walking in the air.

However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the surrounding universe seemed to have been completely wiped out and difficult to reproduce.

A thick and intense evil aura began to spread.

As he headed north, wherever he passed, except for the descendants of Dakong Temple, all the others stood still.

More than just life.

At this moment, all external and internal forms and existence of human beings are annihilated by the invisible force and turned into nothingness.

The mountains, rivers, grass and trees all crumbled together, leaving not a speck of dust.

Zheng Baiyu watched this scene from afar, but remained calm and nodded slightly.

Bodhisattva of Great Extinction.

He is the most accomplished person in the lineage of anti-Buddha since the Great Destruction of Tathagata or the Demon Buddha.

In this world of Buddhists, although there are differences in levels among Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, they are basically regarded as the world's top powerful beings like Taoist Dongzhen, Hedao, Confucian saints, etc. It's just that compared with Buddha, Bodhisattva's cultivation is different and some aspects are still to be perfected.

Just like the vow made by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the past that he would not become a Buddha until hell is empty, his supernatural powers are no less than those of the ancient Buddhas.

Although compared with the real Buddha and Bodhisattva, the current Mahāmie Bodhisattva has some imperfections, but his magical powers are incomparable to that of the Golden Body Venerable.

Especially in terms of frontal combat capability, there is no doubt that Bodhisattva Damie is very powerful.

The other party showed up as expected, causing changes in the Abyss of Time. The opportunity Zheng Baiyu had been waiting for had arrived. He immediately made way and turned to go deeper into the Abyss of Time after the Great Destruction Bodhisattva left.

But at this moment, a mark appeared under his feet, flashing with light, and looked to be only an inch square.

However, this mark of just one inch square actually froze the figure of Zheng Baiyu, a third-level master of the fairyland, making it difficult for him to move for a while, as if he could only watch helplessly as he stood in the way of the Great Destruction Bodhisattva.

"Of course you, Beichen, should personally receive the guests you invited. How can you delegate it to others?" The voice of Mr. Wu Hailin of Leyuan came from the imprint.

No matter what kind of collusion there was between the Great Destroyer Bodhisattva and Zheng Baiyu, given the behavior of this unparalleled demon, since he had descended upon the Confucian world, if Zheng Baiyu did not hide, the result would be that he would be crushed by the Great Destroyer Bodhisattva.

Zheng Baiyu was "nailed" in place by the mark. The one-inch square mark seemed to be able to encompass everything in the world, and it was going to suck Zheng Baiyu in and seal him inside.

The force with which Zheng Baiyu struggled to break free was so fierce and powerful that it was enough to shatter the heaven and earth. Even Wu Hailin's immortal technique, the Inch Heart Seal, could not truly absorb it.

But Zheng Baiyu was unable to break free in a short period of time and was still "nailed" in place.

His expression remained unchanged: "The Great Destruction Bodhisattva is not an ordinary powerful enemy. Only if you can control and drive the great Confucian scholars and circulate the power of the great Confucian world can you fight against him. Zheng is willing to follow you."

As he spoke, Zheng Baiyu raised his hand and punched the mark.

The meaning of his boxing reveals a primitive, wild and domineering state of mind that tramples on culture and elegance, as if countless iron horses are riding on Chinese land.

This is a unique concept of martial arts power that has never appeared in the Confucian world before, but it is effortless in Zheng Baiyu's hands.

Under normal circumstances, with Wu Hailin's Inch Heart Seal so strong, even if he suddenly came into contact with this martial arts realm for the first time, he might not be unable to withstand it.

But on the one hand, it was Zheng Baiyu, a powerful martial immortal who was at the third level of the fairyland, who was taking action now; and secondly, the Cunxin Seal was already struggling with Zheng Baiyu, and was suddenly hit by this blow, and its balance was immediately broken.

While the Inch Heart Seal was vibrating, Zheng Baiyu had no intention of pursuing the victory, but his figure had already gotten rid of the seal and disappeared on the spot.

"...Okay, very good." Wu Hailin said slowly.

He has the talent of literary talent and is good at carving out fine details on a piece of paper, and is good at paying attention to the details.

With his strength of cultivation and his insight and vision, although it was his first time to come into contact with the unfamiliar true meaning of martial arts, he was able to see through and understand the mystery within in a blink of an eye.

After the Cunxin Seal shook, it regained its stability in its original position.

But in an instant, Zheng Baiyu disappeared.

The next person to arrive here was the Great Destruction Bodhisattva, whose cultivation level was even higher than Wu Hailin's.

Wherever it passed, the Inch Heart Seal, along with all things in time, turned into nothingness.

Although his steps seemed to be neither fast nor slow, the Bodhisattva Damie moved forward unhindered towards the land of Zhongzhou.

It seemed that the other party came for Kong Moyu.

If this is confirmed, Zheng Yan and the Zheng family in Zhongzhou do not rule out the idea of ​​voluntarily handing over their own Kong Mo Jade in exchange for peace.

But if things were really that simple, we would be thankful.

For the big monsters, they do not cultivate spiritual energy, and devouring the flesh and blood of the monks who cultivate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not only a supreme delicacy, but also a great tonic.

For the Demon-Buddha lineage, destroying all things in this world is itself a part of practice and is of great benefit to one's own method.

The descendants of the Demon Buddha came for Kong Moyu, and the effect of this treasure was the best and most direct, but their strength was not enough to destroy everything around them.

But for Bodhisattva Mahāmie, Kongmo Yu could only help him train successors.

To him, this ruined world, all the living things he destroyed, and the powerful monks he killed are the nourishment.

The cultural heritage that has been painstakingly cultivated by the old Confucian tradition is truly the most appropriate target, as if nutrients have condensed into essences.

Precisely because they realized this, the Zheng family in Zhongzhou had no place to retreat.

The same is true for the Wu family in Guanzhong, the Qiu family in Qi and Lu, the Huo family in Yuanzhou, and so on.

So Wu Hailin, the leader of the old Confucian school, came to Zhongzhou decisively.

Between heaven and earth, the precious light of culture and beauty was restrained and concentrated, appearing to be only a tiny bit.

But even under the monstrous power of the Bodhisattva of Great Destruction, it is still clearly visible.

In the center of the concentrated precious light is a frame made of black wood.

Wu Hailin stood alone on the chariot with his hands empty, unlike other Confucian scholars who held swords.

But when facing the Great Destruction Bodhisattva, he raised his palm, and there was a mark one inch square in the palm of his hand. All the surging sword energy was condensed in it and did not leak out.

The ferocious aura of the Great Destruction Bodhisattva that destroyed and annihilated everything around him as he walked was suddenly twisted when he approached the frame.

The surging arrogance was involuntarily absorbed into the mark on Wu Hailin's palm.

It looks similar to the mark that just immobilized Zheng Baiyu, but it is another magical technique of Wu Hailin.

The secrets of cultivating immortality by Confucian sages are also called the words of sages, hence the names of sage words and sage secrets.

Wu Hailin's move at this moment was named Fang Cun Sword City, which combined attack and defense.

The evil energy that was sucked in still does not dissipate and possesses extremely strong destructive power, continuing to destroy Fang Cun Sword City from the inside.

But there was also a large amount of sword energy interweaving in Wu Hailin's Fang Cun Sword City, and the two sides kept colliding.

At this time, Bodhisattva Mahamutprakarn finally raised his hand.

He raised his hand, and there was no exaggerated change in the external scene either, only the "卍" character in the center of his palm was spinning backwards.

Suddenly, the powerful destructive force in the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to condense into substance, causing the heaven and earth to distort and collapse.

Wu Hailin looked serious, took a step forward, and his figure seemed to disappear on the spot.

And his frame was destroyed on the spot by the terrifying twisting force.

Wu Hailin appeared again, but before he could stand firmly, Bodhisattva Damie raised his hand to grab him again.

His figure flashed again and disappeared from the spot, leaving the Bodhisattva Damie reaching out to grab nothing.

But the hand of Great Destruction Bodhisattva stretched out from the air and never left Wu Hailin's side, forcing him to not stop for even a moment.

After walking seventy-two steps in a row, Wu Hailin suddenly stopped, turned around and collided head-on with the Great Destruction Bodhisattva.

With one palm strike, the Bodhisattva Mahamutprasad stood still silently.

Wu Hailin's body shook slightly, but he did not collapse immediately.

Suddenly, there was a gleam of light on him.

Faintly, seventy-two bands of light, some thick and some thin, extended from the void and blessed Wu Hailin.

The heaven and earth were shaken, and the cultural talents from all directions were blessed together.

In the world of Confucianism, the ancestral lands of many famous families were shaken at the same time. In the midst of the storm, the scene of unity emerged.

The Great Extinction Bodhisattva had a blank expression on his face, without any emotion: "The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and this is the shore."

While speaking, there was no wavering or change, he just continued to slap Wu Hailin one palm after another.

The seal in Wu Hailin's palm flashed with light, and he blocked one palm after another.

His body kept shaking, and he did not fall down despite receiving many palms from the Bodhisattva of Great Destruction.

But as time went by, the seventy-two light bands on Wu Hailin's body began to shake violently.

Among the light bands of varying thickness, a few thin ones began to break!
Every time a light band is broken, the cultural heritage of an aristocratic family’s ancestral land will collapse.

But Wu Hailin could only persevere at this moment.

Fortunately, his persistence was not entirely in vain.

The Great Destruction Bodhisattva on the opposite side reacted first and looked behind Wu Hailin.

The other hand stretched out from behind and placed on Wu Hailin's arm, and the two of them formed a posture of swimming together arm in arm.

Wu Hailin didn't look back, but he knew who was coming.

Neither Zheng Yan nor Qiu Li.

But it is the leader of the new Confucianism in this world, Yan Aoyun.

Yan Aoyun also did not speak. Countless specks of light gathered from the void on his body.

Under his control, these specks of light not only gathered on him, but also on Wu Hailin.

In addition to the essence of each text, the spiritual light of all living beings was also concentrated at this time. The two combined together, making the entire Confucian world seem to be running and blessing, assisting Wu Hailin and Yan Aoyun, who were previously confronting each other, to fight against the Great Destruction Bodhisattva who came here.

When the time comes, heaven and earth all work together, not just the human world, but also the heavenly world that disappeared that year seems to reappear at this time and also blesses.

Affected by this, even the area where the demons were entrenched began to shake.

The entire universe seemed to be vibrating together, rejecting the Great Destruction Bodhisattva who had intruded into it.

The face of the Great Destruction Bodhisattva remained calm and motionless, and he continued to fight against Wu Hailin and Yan Aoyun.

It was a truly earth-shattering showdown that attracted attention from all sides.

Not only Zheng Yan from the Zheng family in Zhongzhou and Lian Feng from the new school of Yanzhao.

Even Zhang Wantong, Qiu Li, Jiao Feiyang and others who were between Huai and Si were paying attention to this unprecedented horrific war in the world since ancient times.

Zheng Baiyu, who had retreated far away, looked back towards Zhongzhou, smiled slightly and continued to move south.

He didn't need to take a detour.

Because of the arrival of Bodhisattva Mahānīya, the Abyss of Time underwent amazing changes.

After Bodhisattva Damie left the Abyss of Time and stepped into the human world, the changes in the Abyss of Time continued.

After changing from a narrow crack into a circular abyss like a lake or sea, its edge continued to expand, constantly crushing and encroaching on the surrounding space and time, affecting all directions.

The entire middle reaches of the Yangtze River, including Jingchu, Xiaoxiang, Ganzhou and Huaixi, were almost completely covered.

Later, the form of the Abyss of Time began to change in another way.

At its outer edge, the trend of collapse finally stopped gradually, as if it was solidified, flashing golden light, shaped like a coast or a lakeshore, with a vast area, like an extremely wide golden ring hanging in the sky.

Going inward, large pieces of time and space were shattered to form a vast existence like a lake or sea, but with flashing purple waves.

Until the very center, one can vaguely see an inverted abyss, which is bottomless and flashes with a faint silver light, as if it is the original source of the abyss of time.

The golden shore, the purple sea and the silver abyss are clearly defined, yet all are breathtaking, with time and space all confused.

They all seem to be suspended in the sky, but one must pass through the Golden Coast to reach the Purple Sea, and through the Purple Sea to reach the Silver Abyss.

The Poisonous Snake Demon Saint and the Ghost Car Demon Saint came to their senses and looked towards the Great Sun Demon Saint.

The Great Sun Demon Saint was also dazed for a long time, but soon flapped his wings and flew towards it.

The Poison Snake Demon Saint and the Ghost Car Demon Saint looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and followed.

Huo Zhen didn't care about anything else.

Right now, his Yuanzhou Huo family was truly shrouded in the Abyss of Time, so he hurried back to investigate.

You Yuening's relatives moved away from Jiangdong and Liangzhe and arrived near Huaixi, and they also rushed over at this time.

Seeing that Zhang Wantong was there and had already severely injured Jiao Feiyang, Qiu Li no longer insisted. Instead, he ordered Qiu Xuanhe to investigate the changes in Shi Zhiyuan and contact Wu Hailin and Zheng Yan.

While Lei Jun contacted Zhang Wantong and Xiao Chunhui to inquire about the news, he also observed the drastic changes in the Abyss of Time with Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang.

Such changes also amazed them.

"It's related to the changes in the heavens in this world before. The pressure from Bodhisattva Damie has created a scene that is rarely seen elsewhere." Xu Yuanzhen looked at the scene in the sky with unusual interest.

Tang Xiaotang narrowed her eyes and said, "I think I saw that old crow just now. Did it show up?"

As she spoke, she also walked towards the Abyss of Time.

At this moment, a ball of light suddenly flashed in Lei Jun's mind, and the words appeared:
[The abyss breaks the sky, the mysterious origin moves, the boundless sea of ​​the universe becomes the shore. 】

Then there are five luck signs appearing together:
[A good fortune, go to the Golden Shore of the Abyss of Time, the heaven and earth will shake, and you should plan carefully before and after the wound of the world appears. You will have a chance to get a first-class product to expand your opportunities. There will be ups and downs at present, and there may be hidden dangers buried afterwards. You should handle it with caution. Good luck.]

[A good fortune, go to Yuzhou, the human world of the Confucian world outside the Abyss of Time. The heaven and earth will shake. Before and after the appearance of the wound of the world, there will be a chance to get a second-grade opportunity. The current situation is ups and downs, and there may be hidden dangers buried afterwards. You should handle it with caution. Good luck.]

[Win the lottery and go to the human world of the Confucian world outside the Abyss of Time. There are ups and downs and endless battles. Be cautious and there is no big risk, but there is no extra gain. It's flat. ]

[If you win the lottery, you will not enter the abyss of time, nor will you enter the world of Confucian scholars, Zhongzhou and Yuzhou. You will not gain anything extra, nor will you lose anything. It’s fair.]

[A bad sign. When entering or passing through the Abyss of Time, the heaven and earth will shake and you will encounter a huge threat. You should be extremely careful. This is bad luck.]
