Chapter 229 Demon Saint
The golden palace in Yujing is covered with clouds.
Inside the Taixuan Palace, the air was filled with fragrant aroma and auspicious mist.
Colorful gold-painted tables were neatly arranged, on which were placed dragon liver and phoenix marrow, bear paws and ape lips, and countless other delicacies and magical fruits.
The Jade Emperor sat high on the central seven-treasure platform, with the Queen Mother sitting next to him.
In the hall below, many gods have already taken their seats according to their shifts, exchanging ideas about elixirs with nearby gods, and discussing whose elixir might win the first prize and surpass Taishang Laojun's Nine-Revolution Golden Elixir.
The scene seems very lively at first glance, but a closer look will reveal something is wrong!
Most of the seated gods sat on the outer back row, while the seats in the front row of those who were the real big shots of the Three Realms were mostly empty.
The Jade Emperor had a smile on his face and was talking softly with the Queen Mother. He seemed to be carefree, but there was a layer of haze in his eyes, and he obviously realized that something was wrong.
Yang Jian sat at the top of the second row, just behind the Three Pure Ones, the Four Imperial Gods and the Five Elders, the other great seniors.
As the God of Justice in Heaven, he holds great power, but because he is always known for his coldness and severity, there seems to be a silent light shield around him.
The gods nearby didn't dare to talk to him, and even spoke in low voices.
Those who are farther away can't help but secretly look at Yang Jian.
Yang Jian pretended not to know and sat there quietly without saying a word.
Li Anran's position is relatively far back.
At the outermost edge of the hall, almost next to the window.
He was also a lonely man and no one paid any attention to him.
There are two reasons.
First, the position of Prison God itself is not popular.
Second, he rarely leaves the Heavenly Prison, and apart from Yang Jian and Nezha, he has few friends.
When he just sat down, the gods at the tables on his left and right asked him his name and identity.
After learning that he was the prison god, his attitude immediately turned cold.
Li Anran was also happy to have some free time. He cast a spell to create an eye on the palm of his right hand. Then he activated the Qiankun Mirror hidden in his sleeve to check the situation in Uttarakuru.
During these three days, he also studied the Qiankun Mirror.
This Qiankun Mirror should be a magic weapon refined by Zhen Yuanzi based on the Book of the Earth, and was given to Yang Jian when Yang Jian visited Wuzhuang Temple.
It has the effect of exploring the three realms.
Compared to the Book of Earth, the Qiankun Mirror has almost no restrictions on its use, but through it one can only see what is happening in the Three Realms at this moment, unlike the Book of Earth which can see what happened in the past.
Moreover, the Qiankun Mirror is not very concealed and can be easily detected.
Li Anran just used it to sweep the Bull Demon King's camp, and was discovered by Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao one after another.
Fortunately, it is pretty good at anti-tracking!
Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao only noticed that someone was snooping, but they were unable to follow the snoop to find Li Anran.
At this time, the boy Jinxia walked in from the palace gate and reported to the Jade Emperor: "My Tianzun suddenly had an epiphany while in seclusion. He is unable to attend the Danyuan Conference. Please forgive me, Great Tianzun."
The Jade Emperor said: "This is a joy for the three realms, so why should I commit any sin?"
"Thank you, Great Lord." The boy Jinxia thanked him and then took his leave.
Not long after he left, another White Crane Boy beside the South Pole Immortal came to report: "My master was careless when refining the elixir, and the elixir was destroyed. He will not participate in this Danyuan Conference."
The Jade Emperor said, "I understand."
Before he finished speaking, another boy from Chi Jing|zi came forward to report.
Next came the Taoist boy Guangchengzi, the disciple of Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, and the disciple of Huanglong Zhenren...
The reasons they gave were different, but the end result was that they were unable to attend the Danyuan Conference.
Taixuan Palace suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
There is a reason why a person cannot come.
If not everyone can come, then it can only be intentional.
The Jade Emperor looked a little ugly.
He didn't expect that after gaining the support of the Jie Sect and greatly increasing its strength in the Heavenly Court, the Chen Sect would still dare not give him any face!
The Jade Emperor looked at Yang Jian coldly.
He had a vague feeling that this matter was related to Yang Jian!
Yang Jian looked calm, as if he didn't feel the Jade Emperor's gaze at all.
The rest of the immortals were silent, sitting upright with their heads lowered, for fear of being bumped into by the guns.
These gods, like Li Anran, were not qualified to participate in the Danyuan Conference.
Because Lingshan was unwilling to get involved in the matter between Heaven and the Demon Master's Mansion, he declined the Danyuan Conference on the grounds of "holding the Ullambana Festival" and was then dragged in by the Jade Emperor to make up the numbers.
Most of them were newly recruited gods from heaven by the Jade Emperor after the confederation of gods was shattered. Their strength was not weak, but their foundation was much weaker.
They were not aware that the powerful beings from the three realms had joined forces to deal with the catastrophe, nor did they know that the Jade Emperor had already taken action against the Demon Master's Mansion. They just felt that this Dan Yuan Conference was extremely weird!
First, the Buddhist sect made excuses not to participate, and now the powerful people of the Xuanmen sect are also finding various reasons not to participate.
For a moment, people were panicked and an atmosphere of tension and anxiety spread.
At this moment, the four Heavenly Masters came in and reported: "The Supreme Taoist Ancestor has arrived."
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother led the immortals to welcome Laozi in.
"Greetings to the Supreme Taoist Ancestor." The immortals greeted him one after another.
In order to compete for the position of the head of the Xuanmen Sect, Taishang Laojun often showed favors to these new gods and goddesses.
With his appearance, the atmosphere eased a little.
Afterwards, Jade Pure Yuanshi Tianzun, Upper Pure Lingbao Tianzun, Five Old Lords and other non-Chanjiao immortals appeared one after another.
The empty front seats were mostly filled.
The atmosphere in Taixuan Palace gradually returned to normal.
The Danyuan Conference officially begins.
The Danyuan Conference has a high-end name, but in reality it is similar to the hobby gatherings of later generations.
The gods each took out the elixir they had carefully refined, explained their own alchemy techniques and concepts, and then presented them to the Jade Emperor, who then shared them with the gods present for their appreciation.
The highlight is naturally the elixirs brought out by the big guys such as the Three Pure Ones and the Five Elders.
Especially Taishang Laojun, who is now the number one alchemy expert in the Three Realms!
Most of the other gods came here to appreciate and learn.
Li Anran had made great achievements in alchemy and listened with great interest.
However, he did not forget what Yang Jian had told him. The eye in the palm of his right hand was always staring at the Qiankun Mirror, paying attention to the situation in Beijuluzhou.
He has already told Yang Jian that the agreement between Jiejiao and Lu Ya may be related to the Demon Master's Mansion.
Yang Jian, including Taiyi Tianzun, actually had the same guess.
However, because the annihilation of the Demon Master's Mansion is not only the Heavenly Court's suppression of the remnants of the ancient Demon Court, but also an important part of the agreement among the powerful beings of the Three Realms to trigger the catastrophe in advance and consume karma and calamity!
Yang Jian and Taiyi Tianzun had no reason and no way to stop it!
Taiyi Tianzun and the others agreed to Yang Jian's temporary cancellation of the Danyuan Conference, which was also a soft resistance out of helplessness.
The image in the Qiankun Mirror once again confirmed Li Anran's guess.
When the Demon Master was confronting the heavenly soldiers and generals in his residence, the Jie Religion took the first step and broke the peace!
"Why bother with these monsters? Let's get started!"
Bixiao had no patience, so he directly made a hand gesture and summoned the Golden Dragon Shears.
Snap! Snap!
The golden dragon shears rose up in mid-air and transformed into two golden dragons, with their heads and tails connected, and rushed towards Kunpeng.
As the leader of the Ancient Demon Court, Kunpeng naturally could not back down at this time. He snorted coldly, "Little girl, when I was roaming the wild, it was still unclear whether you had transformed or not! You dare to act so arrogantly in front of me just because the saint gave you a magic weapon?"
As he spoke, the River Map and the Luo Shu shone with countless divine rays, like a pair of invisible giant hands, stirring in the dark sky formed by the hazy Qiankun of the Zhenwu Soap Carved Flag that blocked out the sun.
With them as the center, a golden vortex like a rotating galaxy formed and continued to expand.
The dark sky was soon shredded, and the long-lost starry sky reappeared above Uttarakuru, shining brightly .
The two golden dragons with bared fangs and claws seemed to have walked into a trap.
Countless Yin and Yang, Five Elements, and Eight Trigrams appeared in the void, interweaving into various great Dao formations, one layer within another, trapping them in the middle.
The two golden dragons stopped in mid-air, the light gradually faded, and they returned to the shape of golden dragon shears.
"not good!"
Bixiao's expression changed, and he wanted to activate the Golden Dragon Shears to crush these formation patterns, but the Golden Dragon Shears only shook and was no longer as easy to control as usual.
She wanted to take back the golden shears again.
Likewise, it can’t be done.
The connection between her and the Golden Shears became vague, as if they were separated not by a distance of dozens of miles but by a world.
"Sister!" Bixiao shouted in panic.
Yun Xiao had already noticed that something was wrong, so he immediately raised the Hunyuan Golden Bowl above his head and raised his middle finger towards Kunpeng: "Collect!"
The Hunyuan Golden Bowl began to spin, light flowing, and a golden light shot towards Kunpeng.
Yunxiao didn't think about taking Kunpeng in directly, but wanted to attack Wei to save Zhao and let the Golden Dragon Shears take the opportunity to escape.
But Kunpeng did not give her this opportunity!
“Come here to me!” Kunpeng grabbed the Golden Dragon Shears out of thin air and directly pulled them over.
clang!
The innate spiritual treasure has its own spirituality. After the Golden Dragon Shears fell into Kunpeng’s hands, it began to struggle desperately, with murderous and sharp auras running rampant, trying to break free from Kunpeng’s hands.
"Behave yourself!"
Kunpeng was not going to tolerate it and squeezed it hard. The Golden Dragon Shears immediately let out a mournful cry, its light dimmed a little, and it stopped struggling.
At the same time, Kunpeng once again activated the River Map and Luo Shu, shedding thousands of rays of light and forming a green light shield around him.
The golden light emitted by the Hunyuan Golden Bowl hit the light shield, and a terrifying suction force suddenly appeared, distorting the entire void and forming vortex-like black lines.
But, the River Map and Luo Shu did not move at all!
"Is this the Hunyuan Golden Bowl? I think it's nothing more than this!"
Kunpeng sneered and said, "There are still people who compare the Conferred Gods in Heaven with the War between the Lich and the Sorcerer. How ridiculous! Apart from the saints, they are just a bunch of clowns!"
"Don't be so arrogant, you evil creature!"
Yunxiao was furious and raised the Hunyuan Golden Bowl into the air. Then he took out three fist-sized beads and threw them over.
Buzz!
The precious beads were suspended in the air with the Hunyuan Golden Bowl as the center, connected to each other to form a Three Talents formation.
Then, Yunxiao took out 49 Immortal Bewitching Pills from his arms and scattered them into the Three Talents Formation. He pinched his fingers to perform the Immortal Closure Technique and transformed the Three Talents Formation into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation!
Although Yunxiao has been on the Investiture of the Gods for tens of thousands of years and his cultivation has not been able to improve, he has never stopped seeking enlightenment!
This simplified version of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was one of her gains!
call--
In an instant, the light of the Hunyuan Golden Bowl became brighter, and the terrifying suction force increased by more than dozens of times.
The green light shield formed by the River Map and Luo Shu was no longer as stable as before. Ripples appeared on it and it began to shake.
What a powerful formation!
Kunpeng was shocked and quickly poured his magic power into the River Map and Luo Shu, only then was it barely stabilized.
And those disciples standing next to him suffered!
The cultivation of Kunpeng's disciples is also not weak. The strongest Qingluan has already broken through to the Daluo Golden Immortal level, and the weaker ones are all at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level!
However, facing the Hunyuan Golden Bowl blessed by the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, they had no power to resist at all and were directly sucked in.
However, in a flash, his immortal soul was destroyed, his immortal form was trapped, his immortal spirit was lost, his immortal aura was damaged, his immortal original nature was lost, his immortal limbs were damaged, and he turned into his original form and fell into a coma.
"Give me back the golden shears!" Bixiao shouted, drew his sword, and slashed at Kunpeng.
"Sister!" Qiong Xiao was afraid that something might happen to Bi Xiao, so he quickly urged Qing Luan under his crotch to fly over.
Bixiao and Qiongxiao are only at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation level, which is far inferior to Kunpeng.
However, with Yunxiao's support, the three of them joined forces and fought Kunpeng to a standstill.
At the same time, the others also started fighting.
"You little bastard Zhenwu, I've disliked you for a long time! Today, I can finally kill you with my own hands!" An ancient demon sage roared and rushed towards the Zhenwu Emperor.
"You evil creature, you're looking for death!" Emperor Zhenwu glared at him, wielding the Demon-Slaying Sword and rushing forward.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
The weapons clashed, and the sound was deafening.
The void was constantly shattered like the surface of water, and the terrifying aftermath of magic power swept away everything within a radius of dozens of miles.
No matter whether they are heavenly soldiers or demon soldiers and generals, as long as they enter this range, they will be torn to pieces instantly.
Although the Great Emperor Zhenwu is a newly promoted Daluo Jinxian after the Conferred God, his strength is far above that of ordinary Daluo Jinxians !
This ancient demon saint is no exception!
The two sides fought for only a few rounds when he seized the opportunity and injured the demon saint with one sword.
Just as he took a step forward and was about to kill the Demon Saint, the other two Demon Saints attacked him from behind, and the three of them joined forces to fight him!
“Amazing!”
Li Anran no longer had the heart to listen to Dan'ao's teachings, and all his attention was focused on the Great Emperor Zhenwu.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu did not choose the path of beheading the three corpses, but the path of becoming a saint in the flesh. His whole body was filled with murderous aura, and he wielded the sword that slayed demons with great force.
Li Anran's eyes lit up when he saw the exquisite martial arts moves, and he wished he could go down and compete with him.
In addition to the Great Emperor Zhenwu, the Golden Spirit Mother, Wang Lingguan, the two generals Turtle and Snake , Zhao Gongming, Wen Zhong... also found their opponents.
And the development of things was just as Yang Jian expected!
The Heavenly Palace and Jiejiao are the undisputed number one force in the Three Realms!
However, Heaven and Jiejiao did not give their all!
In this case, the Demon Master's Mansion is actually stronger!
When the ancient demon court was at its most powerful, it summoned 365 golden immortals to form the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array.
These are only the Daluo Jinxian who are qualified to form the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array, not all the Daluo Jinxian in the Ancient Demon Court!
Even in the final battle between the wizard and the lich, the demon clan suffered heavy casualties, but there were still dozens of demon saints who survived!
Most of these ancient demon saints fled to Uttarakuru with Kunpeng!
Over the years, many ancient demon saints could not stand the bitter cold of Uttarakuru and left.
But there are still twenty-seven left!
The strengths of these demon saints vary. The strong ones, such as Kunpeng, can fight against the Three Skies alone, while the weak ones are not even as good as Wang Lingguan, the Daluo Jinxian who just broke through!
But, there are so many of them!
If one-on-one doesn’t work, then try two-on-one, three-on-one, or even four-on-one or five-on-one!
Even though Zhao Gongming, Zhenwu Emperor and others were stronger, they were outnumbered and gradually fell into a disadvantage!
