Chapter 426: Divination
In fact, Tarot Lord is not simply overestimating his own abilities. He still has some abilities.
The thing in his hand that looks like a card is not for playing, but for divination.
The most powerful thing in Western religion is actually the art of divination. To learn the art of divination, one must not only understand the five elements, yin and yang, life and death, but also at least have a little understanding of the way of time.
He is the only disciple under Patriarch Brahma who has gained some understanding of the way of time. This is why Patriarch Brahma values him so much.
In fact, his divination skills are quite advanced.
For example, he calculated that the vitality of the Nine-Curve Array lies in the water, so he asked someone to refine a precious divine boat.
For example, he predicted that he would be attacked with great strength, so he asked someone to make a precious golden bell.
To be honest, his divination skills were somewhat useful. At least, after he asked someone to refine the Shenzhou, Chen Jiu felt that it was not advisable to ambush them at sea, so Chen Jiu directly withdrew all the ambushes near the Fusang sacred tree.
In addition, the golden bell that he asked someone to refine was also very difficult for Chen Jiu to deal with. Chen Jiu racked his brains, used a series of formations, and bribed Daoxing Tianzun before he could barely find a way to control it.
Unfortunately, his divination technique had a fatal flaw when it met Chen Jiu.
That is, he could not predict everything about Chen Jiu, and did not know what means Chen Jiu would use to deal with them, so he could not predict good or bad results at all.
It was precisely because he could not predict whether this trip would be good or bad that he dared to come to the mortal world to die. If he could predict whether this trip would be good or bad, he would definitely not come here to die.
However, at this moment, his mind was full of those beautiful little Tianzuns. He didn't care about good or bad luck at all. He couldn't even hold back the fire in his heart, and directly pulled Chi Lian Tianzu into the palace engraved with magic arrays, and he never appeared again along the way.
Daoxing Tianzun was very active. Not only did he lead his men to clear the way in front, he also used the Thunderbolt Golden Light Escape from time to time to investigate around the army, apparently trying to eliminate the hidden dangers of an ambush by Chen Jiu.
In fact, he was so active because he knew that Chen Jiu would not ambush him halfway.
His positive performance along the way was also recognized by Xuandu Tianzun, so when he led his army into the preset ambush and arrived at the camping site designated by Chen Jiu, Xuandu Tianzun did not say anything.
Of course, this is not because Xuandu Tianzun was careless.
Mainly, there's really nothing much to say about this place.
Because according to the information that Daoxing Tianzun had found out in advance, Chen Jiu had set up the Nine-Bend Array around Jiuling Mountain and the capital, as well as in Qingzhou Prefecture, Dengzhou Prefecture, and Laizhou Prefecture. Although they had prepared things to deal with the Nine-Bend Array, they couldn't force their way into the Nine-Bend Array to set up camp, right?
Isn't that a brain disease?
The location that Daoxing Tianzun brought them to was already quite good, as it was only 500 miles away from Jiuling Mountain and right between the two Nine-Curve Formations. There was no risk of entering the Nine-Curve Formations at all. In fact, from here his spiritual sense could even vaguely scan Jiuling Mountain.
What else is there to say about this place?
After Xuandu Tianzun and Daoxing Tianzun commanded their men to set up camp, Tarot Tianzun finally sent a message through his telepathy, asking them to go to the luxurious palace to discuss the plan to attack Jiuling Mountain.
At this moment, Chilian Tianzun and Tarot Tianzun were in love again. The two of them didn't care about other people's eyes at all. They just sat on the same chair and cuddled together, which made the True Lord of the Western Religion feel a little disgusted.
Xuandu Tianzun, Daoxing Tianzun and Fude Tianzun are used to it.
This is the character of the senior sister. In the past, she liked to get close to young people who were less than a hundred years old. This time, at least the guy is about her age.
Moreover, this guy is the eldest disciple of the Western Religion. Patriarch Brahma basically doesn't care about anything. The affairs of the Western Religion are basically managed by this guy. For the sake of the grand plan of the Hongmeng Religion, they can completely tolerate this little disgust.
When Tarot Tianzun saw that everyone was present, he immediately said impatiently: "Now that we are here, should we launch a fierce attack and take over Jiuling Mountain as soon as possible?"
You are just a businessman, so I can't say anything about you.
Xuandu Tianzun said solemnly: "As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. We haven't tested the strength of the Jiuling Mountain defenders yet, so it's better not to act rashly."
Tarot Tianzun said impatiently: "Hasn't Daoxing already checked in advance? Most of Chen Jiu's strength has been used to fight for the world in the mortal world. Now is the time when Jiuling Mountain is the weakest. Why don't we launch a fierce attack?
Do we have to wait for Chen Jiu to call back all his men before we fight?"
Xuandu Tianzun still said solemnly: "We can also surround the point and attack the reinforcements. We can test the strength of the Jiuling Mountain defenders here, and let Junior Brother Daoxing take people to snipe Chen Jiu's men who have been summoned back. As long as Junior Brother Daoxing defeats all of Chen Jiu's men who have come back to reinforce, most of Chen Jiu's strength will be gone, and it won't be too late for us to deal with him then."
Tarot Lord said impatiently: "Then how long do we have to wait?"
Why are you so impatient? Is there anyone who fights a war like you?
Xuandu Tianzun simply gave a secret look to Chilian Tianzun.
Chi Lian Tian Zun understood and immediately stuck to him and said in a sticky way, "Tarot, don't be anxious. I'm here with you. Let's play for a few days and see how things go."
"Ugh", many True Lords frowned.
Tarot Tianzun got angry again, and he said impatiently: "Okay, you guys go and test it for a few days first, that's all."
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.
Xuandu Tianzun hurriedly said: "If you are in a hurry to take Jiuling Mountain, then we will split into two groups and explore from the north and south directions at the same time. This will also force Chen Jiu to hastily mobilize troops to return for help."
Tarot Tianzun waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Okay, just arrange it."
Upon hearing this, Xuandu Tianzun couldn't help but reveal a sly smile in his eyes.
I'll arrange it, right?
Don't blame me if you suffer any loss.
After he hurriedly led everyone out of the hall, he gave a clear order: "Junior Brother Yu Ding, you take the five True Lords and two hundred True Immortals to take turns to test the south and test their Nine Bends Formation."
Alas, now that Juliu is dead, it’s my turn.
Jade Ding Tianzun sighed secretly, then bowed and said, "As you command."
Xuandu Tianzun pretended to be concerned and said politely to the people of the Western Religion: "You don't have Tianzun's protection, so you have to send more people to go immediately for safety. How about this, you will be divided into two groups, each group of ten Zhenjuns will lead five hundred Zhenren to test, one round a day."
There was nothing that could be done for the people of the Western religion. Tarot Lord was very anxious. If they didn't go up, Tarot Lord would definitely not be able to get away from them.
They could only nod their heads to show that they understood.
Xuandu Tianzun said to Daoxing Tianzun again: "Daoxing, you can lead your men to walk around Jiuling Mountain. If you encounter their reinforcement team, rush up and snipe them. If the enemy is too strong, you can come back and bring reinforcements to snipe them."
I'll snipe you, damn!
Daoxing Tianzun quickly bowed and said, "As you command."
Xuandu Tianzun nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Let's start now. Junior Brother Daoxing, you will lead your men to set off immediately. Junior Brother Yuding, you will lead your men to demonstrate how to grind the Nine Bends Formation first."
Then, he politely said to the True Lords of the Western Religion: "You can take a good look before you go up."
He looks like he is being extremely nice to others, but actually, he has ulterior motives in making such arrangements.
What about having the protection of the Heavenly Master? That's bullshit. There is no need for the Heavenly Master to take action when they are destroying the other party's Nine-Curve Formation. They only have two hundred people, while they have five hundred. Their attack power is twice as strong as theirs. Chen Jiu will definitely arrange most of his troops to deal with the people from the Western Church.
The True Lord of the Western Religion never expected that this seemingly polite guy had so many evil thoughts. They were also businessmen, so they might be good at cheating, but they were not good at commanding their subordinates to break the formation or test the formation.
This is also the reason why Patriarch Qingmu values Chen Jiu so much. The same is true for the people in Qingmu City. They may be a little scary when they are pulled out, and it is still unknown what it will be like when a real war between gods breaks out.
Originally, they believed in making money through harmony when doing business, and fighting and killing were not their forte. Patriarch Qingmu knew that the Hongmeng Sect was coveting her market, so she had to find a way to protect herself.
She was much wiser than those guys in the Western Church. Knowing that she was not good at fighting gods, she tried her best to win over Chen Jiu, who was good at fighting gods, so that Chen Jiu's strength would continue to grow to protect them.
These guys from the Western Religion don't even know they are incompetent. They follow the people from the Hongmeng Religion to rush to the mortal world to fight with Chen Jiu. It would be strange if they could get any advantage.
Chen Jiu saw the arrangements of the two gangs clearly. The only thing he didn't understand was what Tarot Tianzun was doing in the palace all the time.
However, he couldn't care less at the moment. Jade Ding Tianzun had already brought his men to fight. This time, the other party was at the edge of their formation, and he could just rush up and defeat them.
He quickly asked Tianzun Xi to place Zhenjun Wuyun and 40,000 demon fairies in the direction of the attack from Tianzun Yuding in the south, and transmitted a message through his telepathy to Zhenjun Wuyun to gather the sword energy in the Nine-bend Formation, ready to fight against the enemy.
As a result, when True Lord Jade Ding rushed to the front of the formation with two hundred true men and twenty chariots, a giant blade shadow dozens of miles long immediately appeared in the fog.
The True Lords of the Western Religion were shocked when they saw this.
Jade Ding Zhenjun immediately threw out a huge shield with a radius of hundreds of miles. With a clang, the sword energy was dispersed, and the huge shield was cracked and destroyed.
At this moment, the price of a divine weapon has risen to hundreds of bottles of elixir. Although he made this divine shield himself, there are not many left in stock. If it is used up, he will have to go to Qingmu Market to buy more.
It’s so time-consuming that even Xuandu Tianzun feels a little pain.
However, when he saw the shadow of the giant blade that was chopped out, a hint of hope appeared on his face.
This giant blade phantom is much weaker than the last one. It seems that most of Chen Jiu's men have gone to fight for the world on earth and are not in Jiuling Mountain.
Chen Jiu was also intentionally hiding his strength. He only asked True Lord Wuyun and the others to practice and did not let them try their best. Therefore, the giant blade phantom they emitted was not as strong as last time.
Jade Ding Tianzun was fighting with True Lord Wuyun, and the True Lords of the Western Religion seemed to have understood what was going on.
It turns out that all you need to do is use the Aegis to break up the giant blade composed of the opponent's sword energy.
This is a piece of cake for them. After all, they are doing business and they have quite a lot of elixirs. A hundred bottles of elixirs are nothing to them. As long as they can block the other party's terrifying giant blade, it will be enough.
After they learned this trick, they divided ten True Lords into five hundred True Men and prepared to attack.
Upon seeing this, Chen Jiu thought about it and decided to let True Lord Jingrou take the Ten Thousand Immortals Array composed of ten thousand true gods to take charge in the middle of the Nine-Curve Array in the north. Only then did he let Tianzun Xian send True Lord Ma Teng and forty thousand demon immortals to the front to condense the sword energy and wait for them.
These guys from the Western Church seem to be newcomers on the battlefield. Who knows if they are hiding their strength like him.
Those led by True Lord Jingrou are all true gods of the fire element, and with the blessing of the magic weapon Water and Fire Divine Edge, they can provide support very quickly. In case True Lord Ma Teng's group cannot outlast the enemy, True Lord Jingrou can immediately step up to help.
He was a little surprised that the other party sent two groups of people to repair the Nine-Bend Formation this time. He was afraid that Bailing Tianzun could not repair it alone, so he tried his best to hold off the other party and prevent them from using their magical powers.
The two sides just kept wasting time.
Jade Ding Tianzun seemed to have received a hint from Xuandu Tianzun and did not fight desperately. The Western Sect was still a little unfamiliar with the situation and was not very good at fighting. Chen Jiu even deliberately concealed his strength and did not give them any chance to fight back. They actually fought for most of the day as if they were acting.
The result was naturally nothing. No one suffered much loss. Only the Hongmeng Sect and the Western Sect destroyed dozens of divine shields.
In fact, they were not really acting. The real actor was Daoxing Tianzun. This guy gathered twelve True Lords and more than six hundred True Men in the kingdom of God, and then used thunder and golden light to flash around the periphery of Jiuling Mountain.
He seemed to be looking for the troops that Chen Jiu had mobilized, but in fact he was just acting.
Chen Jiu didn't even mobilize his troops to come back, what the hell is he looking for?
