Wu Shattered Star River

The first line of defense had three interfaces, while the second line had many more, as many as eighty-eight.

The first line was to deplete the enemy's forces on a large scale, while the second was to delay them, hence the many interfaces, connected in a line.

All interface entrances would be sealed, so if the enemy wanted to break through, they would have to conquer each interface one by one.

These eighty-eight interfaces had many teleportation arrays between them, allowing troops and powerful individuals to teleport and deploy freely.

This line of defense was personally constructed by Daoist Tianji, with many magic arrays arranged within. To completely occupy an interface, each array would have to be removed.

This would take a lot of time, giving the Heavenly Court time to breathe and enough time to set up the third line of defense.

Jiang Han followed the Longevity Heavenly Emperor to Misty Rain Realm, one of the two most important interfaces in the second line of defense.

This realm had only one entrance, sealed with dozens of layers, which would take even several great devils a month to break through.

After Jiang Han teleported over with the Longevity Heavenly Emperor, he found himself in a deep abyss, filled with numerous magic arrays. Even if the enemy followed the teleportation array, it would be difficult to break through easily.

Moreover, once the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor teleported over, the teleportation array here would be destroyed.

After emerging from the abyss, Jiang Han discovered that it was constantly raining in this realm, and the entire realm was shrouded in a faint white mist. No wonder it was called Misty Rain Realm.

The Longevity Heavenly Emperor took Jiang Han and Xuanji not to a city, but to a large mountain, the main mountain of Misty Rain Realm, where Realm Lord Misty Rain Immortal King used to reside.

The realm's citizens had already been moved away, and there were not many low-level cultivators on Misty Rain Mountain, only tens of thousands of troops.

How to defend the second line of defense had been strictly planned beforehand, with the troops scattered. Each of the eighty-eight interfaces had troops and powerful individuals.

These troops and powerful individuals could be scattered, but also quickly transferred through teleportation arrays.

Gathered, they were a blazing fire; scattered, they were stars across the sky.

This was to effectively delay time and slow down the advance of the God and Demon armies.

"You will stay in the mountain!"

The Longevity Heavenly Emperor didn't chat much with Jiang Han, having someone arrange a manor for them. He instructed, "There are powerful magic arrays in the mountain. As long as you don't leave this mountain, you will be safe."

"It will take at least half a year for the Demon and God races to reach here. Don't worry about anything during this time. Cultivate in the mountain and await our arrangements."

"Okay!"

Jiang Han nodded and took Xuanji to the manor.

This manor was probably where the daughter or granddaughter of the Misty Rain Immortal King used to live, very elegant and with beautiful scenery. There was also a small pond dug in the manor, filled with green trees and red flowers.

The scenery was good, but Xuanji was not in the mood to appreciate it. She was listless, and after entering the manor, she walked alone into a pavilion, staring blankly at the falling rain.

Jiang Han glanced at her, walked to the pavilion, and said, looking at the pond below, "Xuanji, don't be too persistent. What if you become a Buddha? What if you achieve the Bodhisattva status? In this life, as long as you are happy, why be so demanding?"

Xuanji's eyes became even more confused. She turned to look at Jiang Han and said, "This servant's greatest pursuit in this life is to become a Buddha, to achieve the Bodhisattva status. If I give up even this, what meaning does my life have?"

"You can't think like that!"

Jiang Han waved his hand and said, "Think about those mortals, think about the millions of citizens in this realm. Many of them work hard all their lives, are at the bottom all their lives, and even struggle to survive, but they still live well."

"Many women get married, support their husbands and raise their children, and live happily ever after, don't they?"

"Get married, support my husband and raise children?"

Xuanji was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "This servant cannot marry. This servant is a Bhikkhuni, and this servant will serve Buddha for life."

Jiang Han looked at Xuanji and said, "But are you really happy? Reciting scriptures and chanting Buddha every day, living a life as plain as water, accompanied by the green lamp and wooden fish every day, are you really happy with such a life?"

"You are still so young, in the prime of your life. Shouldn't a normal woman enjoy the beauty of this world? Pursue the person you love, travel across mountains and rivers, and see all the splendor of the world?"

"Am I happy?"

Xuanji's eyes became confused again. She shook her head and said, "I don't know, Master. Please don't say anymore, can you let this servant be alone for a while?"

"Okay!"

Jiang Han nodded and said, "Misty Rain Realm is safe now. There are many cities in the realm, as well as some soldiers and citizens. You can walk around and feel it."

"You have to forget your identity as a holy nun of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, and experience life as an ordinary girl. Perhaps you will find your own path."

"Is that so?"

Xuanji looked at Jiang Han blankly, but he didn't say anything more, turned around and returned to the courtyard, and activated the magic array to cultivate in seclusion.

Luring decent women into prostitution, persuading prostitutes to turn over a new leaf, and encouraging nuns to return to secular life.

These are the three great wicked pleasures of men, but Jiang Han wasn't doing it for that reason. He really cared about Xuanji and felt sorry for her.

Jiang Han didn't covet Xuanji's beauty. Otherwise, if he forced her, Xuanji would probably agree halfheartedly.

Jiang Han just felt that it was too cruel for such a young girl who had never experienced love to spend her whole life with the green lamp and wooden fish.

She hadn't seen the beauty of this world, hadn't felt it, hadn't eaten so many delicacies in the world. Her life was incomplete.

Jiang Han didn't know what path Xuanji would take in the future, and he didn't want to care.

He continued to cultivate diligently. The Other Shore Space had expanded to a hundred feet in radius. He didn't know what the expansion was for, but he had nothing else to do, anyway, he was just cultivating some immortal power.

The second stage of Star Flash and Star Burst was really difficult to deduce, but even an Emperor-level expert would spend hundreds or thousands of years deducing such a super secret technique. There was no way he could deduce it quickly.

He had accumulated a lot of golden nectar again, which he could continue to use to enhance his physical body.

Enhancing his physical body was useful. If his physical body wasn't strong enough, his body might have been destroyed by that blood sacrifice claw earlier.

Moreover, by constantly enhancing it with golden nectar, he had a chance to cultivate the Vajra Supreme Treasure Body.

By then, even if his physical body was destroyed and turned into scattered flesh, he could still regenerate his severed limbs, which was almost immortality.

Half a month later, the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor returned, her white dress covered in blood, seriously injured.

However, before she left, she activated the magic array of White Dragon City, bombarding and killing millions of soldiers, annihilating two Demon Emperors, and injuring a great devil.

Heavenly Abundance City had long been captured, and the first line of defense was officially breached.

The first line of defense was the most solid. If the first line couldn't hold, the second and third lines would definitely not hold. Being captured was only a matter of time.

Half a month later, the Demon and God armies came in a mighty force, with hundreds of thousands of warships covering the sky and earth.

Blood Wheel and Godly Sky Inquiry did not rest for too long, and immediately launched an attack on the second line of defense.
