Chapter 797 Candidates for the Battle

After some debate, it was decided to first introduce the fourth or fifth most decrepit earthly immortals, then the competition among the celestial immortals and then the competition among the human immortals.

The battle of souls naturally cannot be carried out in Kunlun Mountain, even though the space of the Earthly Immortal Realm is stable and the fetal membrane of the world is thick. Kunlun Mountain is the ancestor of all mountains and its roots are deep.

But if the True Immortal Yuanshen attacks with all his strength, even if it won't be like what happened to the Great God Gonggong who crashed into Mount Buzhou in the past, he will definitely turn this place into a mess and destroy it completely.

Not to mention that the one who made the move this time was a powerful being at the level of an earthly immortal or a celestial immortal.

It is possible that after the competition, Yuqing Sect will have to start preparing for moving.

Generally speaking, battles between True Immortals mostly take place in the void or in the nine heavens.

Just like the last time Tang Yuan and Qi Shanfu fought in Lianxiaotian, this time the battlefield was also chosen in Lianxiaotian.

Lianxiao is the seventh heaven. Except for the immortals who have reached the third level of decline, those with lower cultivation cannot even get close.

Last time, several true immortals protected the gap, but this time, a delicate and exquisite pagoda of the mysterious yellow of heaven and earth stood between the two days, preventing the gap from being closed.

The souls protected their disciples and watched the battle in Zixiaotian.

As for the other casual cultivators, they naturally had no chance to watch the battle between the True Immortals. One must know that if there was no one to protect them, those with low cultivation would be in danger of being transformed into the Tao if they looked directly at the True Immortals.

Let’s talk about the people who participated in this fight.

The two Five Decaying Spirits on the Taoist side are naturally the nameless Taoist from the Shangqing Sect and Xuan Zhenzi from the Taiqing Sect.

These two great celestial beings did not watch the development of the Zhide world with the other immortals just now, but were summoned away by Lord Fu Ming Dao.

At this Jiuzhou Dharma Assembly, there were only two Dao Lords present, and it would be a bit monotonous for just the two of them to drink together.

Therefore, Lord Fu Mingdao found two celestial beings, the Taoist Wuming and Xuan Zhenzi, to accompany the old ghost Zhuzhao.

The number of people in the earthly immortal world who have gone through the five stages of decline and become celestial immortals is almost as rare as that of Taoist masters.

There are only dozens of people in the entire world. Therefore, after the nameless old Taoist priest overcame the decline of his Taoism, the plans of the Demon Sect were repeatedly frustrated because it was difficult to find fighting power that could match his.

Because at that time Sang Chan and Lian Tai had not yet awakened, the ancestor of all insects would not easily leave the Ten Thousand Mountains and would only walk the world in his response body.

Or because many major events that were enough to change the fortunes of the earthly immortal world occurred one after another, making the end of the catastrophe one step closer.

In this way, under the change of calamity energy, those old immortal creatures that had fallen into a deep sleep, waiting for the great calamity, gradually woke up.

As for the four-decline earthly immortals, there are much more of them compared to the five-decline heavenly immortals.

Apart from the host Yun Zhenzi, he naturally took up an extra spot.

The competition for the other spot is quite fierce, and there are quite a few people who meet the requirements, such as Fang Xisheng of Shangqing Sect, Zhang Daoji of Longhu Sect, Yi Mengzi of Nanhua Sect, and Wang Yang of Shenxiao Sect.

But in the end, this position fell on Zhang Daoji. Whether in terms of strength, realm, magical powers, or spiritual treasures, he was already close to the limits of an earthly immortal.

If it weren't for the decline of his Taoist faith, which was extremely mysterious, no one knew when he would suddenly have an epiphany. This old Taoist priest would have achieved the status of a celestial being.

Looking at the Demon Sect, the Five Decaying Great Demon is naturally the Blood Sea, and there is one each from the Nine Netherworlds. Sang Chan and Jiu Yuan are also the people in charge of the two sects in recent years.

It has to be said that although Jiuyuan was played around by Tang Yuan many times, he still broke through the barrier of Dao Heart and became one of the only two powerful Five Decays who achieved this level in the past ten thousand years.

Tang Yuan suspected that perhaps because of his disturbance in the world of the Four Spirits, some changes had occurred in the Azure Dragon and White Tiger inheritances that Jiu Yuan had obtained. Who knows, there might be some plan by Emperor Ziwei as well.

You know, Jiuyuan in his previous life had not yet broken through the Five Decays until he became the Blood God Puppet of Demon Tang. However, after suffering successive injuries in this life, he has achieved something instead. It's strange no matter how you look at it.

The Shangqing lineage can use Tang Yuan as their son, so other Daluo and even great supernatural powers can naturally use others to make their own moves. After living a new life and encountering many events, Tang Yuan will no longer think that the Daluo Dao Zun has not reached the end of the catastrophe and cannot speak nonsense without authorization, as he did in his previous life.

Even if their true bodies are asleep, or active in the past, future, or even chaos, it will not prevent them from controlling everything.

The two Four Decline True Immortals of the Demonic Path were not from the Blood Sea and the Nine Netherworlds, but from the Great Joy Bodhisattva of the Great Joy Temple and the Evil Sword Patriarch of Mount Wutai.

However, the strength of both of them is outstanding among the earthly immortals. If you really talk about it, they are even stronger than Fang Xisheng and Wang Yang.

As for Buddhism, the Five Great Ones of Decline are naturally Zen Master Huiji, and the old monk from the Jialan Temple who had appeared in the Chiwen Secret Realm in the past and later escaped from the territory set up by Tang Yuan using the power of heavenly feet.

Tang Yuan didn't know much about this person. In his previous life, when Old Demon Tang dominated the world of earthly immortals, there was no trace of this old monk. He didn't know whether he passed away or went to another world.

But according to the clues Tang Yuan found, this old monk is most likely a monk who served the real Buddha and Bodhisattva in the past, and he is incredibly old.

If it is true as Tang Yuan guessed, then this person might be the most noteworthy one among the many Five Decayed Immortals.

As for the four declining earthly immortals, they are also called Anagami Arhats in Buddhism. One of them comes from the Pure Land of Vasāra, and his Dharma name is Guankong. The other comes from the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and his Dharma name is Huineng.

The structure of Buddhism is not like that of Taoism. Each sect and lineage, even if they are inherited from a Taoist ancestor, are responsible for their own affairs. There is no such thing as the direct lineage of the Three Pure Ones.

However, all Buddhist temples are actually divided into five major pure lands: the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the Pure Land of Maitreya, the Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli, the Pure Land of Akshobhya and the Pure Land of Vaiśravaṇa.

Of course, there are actually only four major pure lands in Buddhism, namely Amitabha’s Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Maitreya Buddha’s Pure Land, Akshobhya Buddha’s Eastern Pure Land of Sukhavati, and Medicine Buddha’s Eastern Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli.

The Vasa world is the world taught by Sakyamuni, and can also be understood as the heavens and myriad worlds.

In Buddhism, due to the heavy karma of sentient beings, it is called the Five Turbidities and Evil World, also known as the opposite of the Impure Land and the Pure Land.

However, because the place where Sakyamuni Buddha taught should be a pure land, it is called the Pure Land of Vasa.

The Four Great Pure Lands and the Vaiśrava Pure Land are actually two concepts. However, when they are spread to the heavens and all realms, they are collectively called the Five Great Pure Lands, representing the inheritance of the five manifest Buddhas.

As for the Brahma Pure Land of the ancient Buddha Dipamkara, it is not the manifest sect of the myriad worlds and has no inheritance, so it is not included in the five major pure lands.

In the world of earthly immortals today, there are only two major inheritances: the Pure Land of Possa and the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

For example, the Pure Land Sect, Vajra Temple, Dharma-Appearance and Consciousness-Only Sect, etc. all belong to these two major pure lands. There may still be distinctions within the Western Desert, but in the outside world, they are only divided into certain pure lands.

After talking about Buddhism, let’s talk about the demon clan.

There is only one powerful demon in the Five Decays, and that is Qiongqi, the current master of the Great Wilderness Demon Court. This demon should not be underestimated. At least he is at the same level as the Ten Thousand Insects Ancestor and the Yinshan Ghost Emperor. Moreover, Qiongqi is the bloodline of the ancient gods. In terms of nobility, he is even better than a pure-blooded real dragon.

Over the years, the blood of the true dragon has been diluted a lot, and it is really doubtful how much of it is passed down from the ancestor dragon.

But there may only be three or five Qiongqi in the past hundreds of thousands of years. Because only pure blood from inbreeding can be called Qiongqi.

As for the origins of the four great demons, they are also quite extraordinary. One is Niu Nie, and the other is Dang Hu. Their bloodlines can be traced back to the ancient times. They are the gods and kings of the Taiyi Divine Court!

Of course, after the human race defeated the Taiyi Divine Court, they first called it a strange beast and then a monster.

Compared with the three religions and the demon clan, the dragon clan and the independent cultivators do not have the five declines of celestial immortals, but only the four declines of earthly immortals.

The dragon clan consists of the two Dragon Kings of the East Sea and the West Sea, whose strength can be regarded as a touchstone among earthly immortals.

On the side of the independent cultivators there is Qingping Zhenjun of Luofu, and Yunhu Sanren, who is now known as the number one independent cultivator in the world of earthly immortals.

This title previously belonged to the Taoist Wuming, but after he returned to Shangqing, it fell on the head of Yunhu Sanren.
