Taiping Inn

Zhang Jingchen was helpless. The original intention of the "Taishang Sanqing Dragon and Tiger Formation" was to guard the mountain gate, not to actively attack, so Zhang Jingchen was in a dilemma. If he opened the formation in advance, Li Xuandu could retreat on his own initiative. If Zhang Jingchen wanted to use the "Taishang Sanqing Dragon and Tiger Formation" to deal with Li Xuandu, he had to invite Li Xuandu into the Great Immortal Mansion before opening the formation. But in this way, Li Xuandu was inside the formation, which was easier to break than attacking from outside the formation. It saved Li Xuandu the effort of the earth master Xu Wugui to sneak into the Great Immortal Mansion.

After Li Xuandu blocked Zhang Jingchen's purple and green swords with the "Tayin Sword Formation", his figure continued to rise, breaking through the purple "lake" on his head and seeing the Azure Dragon Holy Spirit entrenched in the sky.

Li Xuandu raised his hand again, and a dark and muddy "bead" jumped out from his palm, which was the "Taiyi Fa Jue".

Then, Li Xuandu threw the "bead" in his hand to the Azure Dragon Holy Spirit in the sky.

The "bead" transformed by the "Taiyi Fa Jue" exploded before it touched the Azure Dragon Holy Spirit, turning into a tide, dyeing the sky into pure black, without stars, bright moon, or a trace of light, as if turbid air was rising and clear air was falling, the sky was below and the earth was above, the world was turned upside down, and yin and yang were reversed.

Under the erosion of the rolling black tide, the clouds surrounding the Azure Dragon Holy Spirit quickly dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the Azure Dragon Holy Spirit, but that was not all. The black tide attached to the surface of the Azure Dragon Holy Spirit, corroding its scales, and then dissolving its body, causing its huge body to constantly return to the most primitive vitality. Although the Azure Dragon Holy Spirit would not completely collapse for a while, if it was not stopped, it would only be a matter of time before the Azure Dragon Holy Spirit collapsed.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jingchen could no longer care about anything else, and the "Heavenly Master Seal" hanging above his head shone brightly.

The "Great Dragon and Tiger Formation of the Three Pure Ones" then changed, and the Azure Dragon Holy Spirit and the White Tiger Holy Spirit dissipated at the same time, and then turned into three towering figures like mountains.

At this time, Zhang Yueshan had already arrived at the Ten Thousand Laws Sect Altar. This was also the second change of the formation, from "Dragon and Tiger" to "Three Pure Ones".

In fact, the "Great Dragon and Tiger Formation of the Three Pure Ones" has three changes. "Dragon and Tiger" is the first change, corresponding to "geographical advantage", that is, the peaks of Yunjin Mountain and many palaces and temples, connecting the earth's energy to resist powerful enemies. "Three Pure Ones" is the second change, corresponding to "human harmony", which involves the power of incense and vows, and the Dharma image of the Three Pure Ones is manifested by the power of incense and vows. "Great" is the third change, corresponding to "heavenly time", using the "Heavenly Master Seal", the immortal object bestowed by the Great Dao Ancestor, as a medium, and then with a great wish, respectfully invite the Great Dao Ancestor to show his holiness in the world, but the conditions are too harsh. With the Great Dao Ancestor leaving Kunlun Cave Heaven, it has long been impossible to achieve.

As the formation changed, the three ancestor's images began to solidify. The ancestor on the left had white hair and beard, wore an apricot-yellow Bagua Taoist robe, a fishtail crown, and held a snow-white whisk. He was the Taiqing Daode Tianzun; the ancestor on the right had black hair and beard, wore a vermilion Taoist robe, wore a hibiscus crown, and held a green long sword with a sheath. He was the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun; the ancestor in the middle also had black hair and beard, wore a blue Taoist robe, wore a lotus crown, and held a Ruyi, but he was very similar to the "Sanbao Ruyi". He was the Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun.

The Taishang Daozu transformed into the Three Pure Ones in one breath and became the Three Pure Ones Patriarch. Just as the old Tianshi Zhang Jingxiu and the Earth Master Xu Wugui both had incarnations, the Three Pure Ones Patriarch could also be regarded as the incarnation of the Taishang Daozu, who was the Taishang Daozu but not the Taishang Daozu, similar to the relationship between the Buddha and the Great Sun Tathagata and the Acala. At this time, it was not the real body of the Three Pure Ones that showed divine power, but a projection incarnation, which could not be compared with the real body of the Three Pure Ones.

After the three masters appeared in the world, they gave off five-colored brilliance, and their aura was vast and solemn. Looking around, they seemed to be right in front of us, within reach, but also seemed to be far away in the sky, and we could only watch from afar. The three masters were like three giant pillars supporting the world, with a majestic power that made people dare not look directly at them.

"Emperor Shitian" itself was refined by the earth master Xu Wugui with divine power, so Li Xuandu also knew a little about it. In his opinion, the three masters' Dharma images were condensed by divine power. Divine power is transformed from incense and vows. There is no essential difference between the two. Incense and vows come from believers, whether it is pious prayers or worshipping Buddha for immortality. They are all incense and vows. Therefore, those who take the path of immortality must collect incense and vows to cast the golden body of the gods. If the incense is endless, the body will not be destroyed. Not only can you live forever, even if you die, as long as the incense and vows are endless, and your thoughts are placed in the incense and vows, you still have the opportunity to be reborn and resurrected. However, there are pros and cons. If the incense is cut off, even if there is no strong enemy, the golden body will decay and can only survive and eventually fall completely.

When the geomancer Xu Wugui established the Qingyang Sect, in addition to seeking the world, he also used this to collect incense and vows. However, the Qingyang Sect has only been in power for a short time, only in the past few decades. No matter how rapidly it develops, the incense and vows that can be collected are extremely limited. However, the Zhengyi Sect has been standing in the world for thousands of years, and is the leader of the Taoist sects, with a lot of incense and vows. The accumulated incense and vows are far more than that of the Qingyang Sect. Every time the Zhengyi Sect activates the second level of the formation, there will be some loss, but it will be replenished quickly. In addition, the number of times the Zhengyi Sect has activated the second level of the mountain protection formation in recent years is few and far between, so the incense and vows are quite sufficient.

These incense and wish power have been stored in the statues of the Three Pure Ones in the Shangqing Palace. Now they are activated and transformed into the Dharma images of the Three Pure Ones. Although they cannot be compared with the real Three Pure Ones, if they are fully activated, their power is equivalent to that of the three immortal earthly immortals. This is also the fundamental reason why the Zhengyi Sect has never been conquered by anyone.

However, in order to fully activate the "Taishang Sanqing Dragon and Tiger Formation", an immortal earthly immortal must personally sit in the Wanfa Sect Altar to preside over the formation. At this time, Dongxuan Taoist and Zhang Yueshan are presiding over the formation together. Even if Zhang Jingchen, who is in the formation, is added and the second level of change of the formation is barely opened, it is not enough to bring the power of the formation to the extreme. Therefore, among the three ancestral Dharma images, only the Dharma image of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun is at the level of immortality. The other two ancestral Dharma images are only pseudo-immortals, and there is still a line between them and immortal earthly immortals.

But it is this line of separation that prevents the three ancestral Dharma images from forming a tripod and putting Li Xuandu to death.

Facing the three ancestral masters, Li Xuandu finally revealed a solemn expression.

Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun had the highest realm of Dharma, and was the first to attack. The long sword in his arms was unsheathed by itself, and the sword energy was like a long green river, crossing the sky, and then this mighty sword energy swept towards Li Xuandu in an arc.

Facing this sword, Li Xuandu did not dare to be careless in the slightest. He exerted all his strength, his black hair turned white, and his body turned into a demon. He spread his hands and pierced his ten fingers into the void beside him. The two palms seemed to disappear out of thin air. When he retracted them, the ten fingertips drew out ten thin Yin Fire long swords from the void.

Li Xuandu crossed his hands, and ten Yin Fire swords crossed in front of him, then ten turned into a hundred, a hundred turned into a thousand, and a thousand turned into ten thousand. The Yin Fire swords became thinner and thinner, and there were more and more of them, constantly interweaving, like thousands of knots of black hair. This was Li Xuandu using "The Heart Demon is Born by Me" to use "Three Thousand Armors of Blue Ink", and then closing them together, like a woman tying up her black hair, wrapping Li Xuandu in it, and thousands of threads weaving a big cocoon to completely wrap Li Xuandu in it. The Yin Fire condensed, and it actually revealed some visions of "Taiyi Fa Jue".

This is also the mystery of "Taiyin Thirteen Swords". After entering the state of "The Heart Demon is Born by Me", using the other twelve sword moves, not only the power is greatly increased, but also other mysteries can be born.

Under the sword of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun Dharma, the sword energy was like the sea, instantly submerging Li Xuandu, but under the blue sword tide, there was also a very eye-catching blue ink color, like a reef in the river, standing firm.

Under the sword energy, countless green hairs condensed by Yin Fire immediately dissipated, but after one layer of green hair, there was another layer, layer upon layer.

The two sides wore each other down, and when the fierce sword energy receded, there was still a thin layer of cocoon formed by "Three Thousand Armors of Green Ink", and Li Xuan, who was in it, was naturally unharmed.
