Chapter 303 Showdown
"Master, you misunderstood us!"
Nezha had never been liked by Li Jing since he was young. Taiyi Tianzun was both his master and his father to him. He hurried forward to explain, "We came here today to seek support from our master. How could it be..."
Taiyi Tianzun interrupted him directly and said, "What if I object?"
Nezha was speechless for a moment, his face full of confusion and he didn't know what to do.
Taiyi Tianzun snorted coldly and turned to look at Li Anran and Yang Jian.
Yang Jian expressed his attitude directly and clearly, bowed and said: "Uncle Master, please forgive me."
Taiyi Tianzun was not surprised.
Yang Jian was a man of firm character. Once he made up his mind, even his master Jade Ding Zhenren could not change it, let alone his uncle.
However, Li Anran's words stunned him.
"My four swords of Zhu Xian were all given to me by Master. How dare I think of using them against Master? However, changing the world is related to my attainment of enlightenment and becoming a saint. Even if Master objects, I will persist."
Taiyi Tianzun frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Aren't you doing these things for Yang Jian? How does it relate to your attainment of sainthood?"
Nezha also looked at Li Anran with surprise. It was the first time he heard this.
Only Yang Jian knew many of Li Anran's secrets and vaguely guessed Li Anran's plans.
Sure enough, Li Anran said, "My disciple has a magic weapon called the Book of Punishment for Evil, which can bind the prisoners in the prison to the improvement of my disciple's cultivation. The more people imprisoned in the prison and the higher their cultivation, the faster my disciple's cultivation will improve."
In the past, Li Anran would never have told anyone about the Book of Punishment.
But now, he has the Zhuxian Formation and the Wu Ji Xinghuang Flag in his hands. Not to mention that he is invincible in the Three Realms, it is more than enough for him to protect himself and he no longer has to worry about others coveting him .
In order to gain the support of Taiyi Tianzun, he simply told him some of the effects of the Book of Punishment of Evil.
"Ah?!" Taiyi Tianzun was startled, then he suddenly realized something and asked, "Your cultivation level has improved so quickly because of this Book of Punishment?"
Li Anran nodded.
There is such a magic weapon in the world!
Taiyi Tianzun's eyes flashed with a look of disbelief, and he asked again: "Li Anran, achieving the Dao and becoming a saint are completely different from improving your cultivation. Are you sure that your Book of Punishing Evil can help you achieve the Dao and become a saint?"
Li Anran said : "I dare not say that I am completely sure, but I am at least 60% to 70% sure."
Taiyi Tianzun's pupils suddenly shrank and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
He knew Li Anran's character and knew that he would always be cautious when speaking, so this 60% to 70% certainty could basically be considered a sure thing.
Moreover, even if it is only 60% or 70%, it is already high enough!
Even though he has already killed the three corpses, he is only one step away from achieving sainthood.
But, if you really ask him how confident he is that he can achieve enlightenment and become a saint, he may not even have one!
However, Li Anran said that he had a 60 to 70 percent chance of achieving enlightenment and becoming a saint. This was worthy of the words "terrifying"!
Yang Jian and Nezha were also surprised.
The higher the level of cultivation, the more clear it is how difficult it is to achieve enlightenment and become a saint.
They are already among the top cultivators in the Three Realms, but they still have little idea about how to achieve enlightenment and become a saint.
I never thought that Li Anran had such great confidence.
"Are you serious?" Taiyi Tianzun confirmed again.
"Seriously." Li Anran nodded.
Taiyi Tianzun stared at Li Anran, his eyes gleaming with a thoughtful look.
Li Anran had a calm and sincere look on his face, but secretly he focused a part of his mind on the Zhu Xian Formation.
He has always been unafraid to try to gauge people's hearts with the greatest malice. The matter of attaining enlightenment is of great importance, and there is no guarantee that Taiyi Tianzun will not be blinded by greed and suddenly take action against him.
Jinguan Cave fell silent for a moment.
A moment later.
Taiyi Tianzun said, "If your uncle and I were both put in the Heavenly Prison, how long would it take for you to attain sainthood?"
Li Anran was stunned for a moment, but soon realized the hidden meaning behind Taiyi Tianzun's words. He was so excited that he could not control himself.
But he quickly controlled his emotions and gave an answer: "It will take about three thousand years."
After Maitreya Buddha, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra were truly sealed in the Heavenly Prison, their capture rate soared directly from 5% to 80%, and the experience points they could obtain every day increased sixteen times.
This also shortened the time required for Li Anran to achieve sainthood from the original 130,000 years to less than 10,000 years.
If Taiyi Tianzun and the others entered the Heavenly Prison, and entered with a 100% capture rate, the experience points that Li Anran could gain every day would increase by at least two to three times.
Less than ten thousand years will only leave three or four thousand years.
In addition to Taiyi Tianzun and others, Li Anran has the Zhuxian Formation in his hands, so he can easily capture those ancient elders and guests of Zixiao Palace who are still alive in the Three Realms and put them into the Heavenly Prison.
In this way, three or four thousand years are shortened to about three thousand years.
Taiyi Tianzun said nothing more. He took out a palm-sized jade bell and struck it three times.
Soon, golden auspicious clouds flew in from all directions. They were the Nan Ji Xian Weng, Yun Zhong Zi, Yu Ding Zhenren, Dao Xing Tianzun, Chi Jing Zi and other great masters of the Chan sect.
Nanji Xianweng asked, "Brother Taiyi, why are you so anxious to summon us here?"
Taiyi Tianzun immediately told Li Anran and the other two about their plan and that Li Anran was confident that he could attain sainthood within three thousand years.
Nan Ji Xian Weng and others were shocked when they heard that Li Anran and the other two wanted to take advantage of Wu Tian's incident to change the world and make a false thing come true so that Yang Jian could ascend to the throne of Heavenly Emperor. But when they heard the latter, they instantly threw the former aside.
Compared with attaining enlightenment and becoming a saint, the authority of heaven and earth and the supremacy of the three realms are nothing worth mentioning!
"The Book of Punishment? Why have I never heard of this magic weapon?"
"There are countless magic weapons in the world, so it is reasonable that there are some that we have never heard of. I am just curious, why did it appear in the Heavenly Prison? You must know that the Heavenly Prison was built by Haotian, and logically speaking, there should not be such magic weapons."
"Perhaps it was left by Daozu. Junior Brother Li Anran doesn't seem to be lying. If it weren't for this opportunity, how could he have broken through from a mortal to a Daluo Jinxian in just a thousand years."
"What's a Golden Immortal? Didn't you hear Senior Brother Taiyi say that Li Anran is sure to achieve sainthood within three thousand years?"
"Whether it's true or not, I'll know once I see it!"
…
The great leaders of the Chan sect were discussing the matter of attaining enlightenment and becoming a saint, and they were no longer as calm as usual.
Nanji Xianweng said, "Li Anran, can you please take out the Book of Punishment for the Evildoers and let us take a look at it?"
"good."
Li Anran's mind moved, and the Book of Punishment appeared in his field of vision. He raised his hand slightly and placed it in his palm.
But in the eyes of the Antarctic Immortal and the others, Li Anran just raised his hand, and there was still nothing in front of them. No matter whether they looked with their eyes or scanned with their spiritual sense, they could not detect any trace of the Book of Punishment of Evil that Li Anran mentioned.
——All this was within Li Anran’s expectations.
He had previously tried to take out the Book of Punishment in front of Yang Jian.
Yang Jian didn't even notice it, let alone touch it.
The cultivation levels of Nan Ji Xian Weng and Tai Yi Tian Zun are higher than Yang Jian, but not to the point of qualitative change. It is reasonable that they cannot see or touch it.
