Chapter 454: The Human Emperor List is published, and disputes among major powers arise!
Three black lights fell from the sky above Mount Tai almost at the same time.
Come,
They are the leaders of the three major sects of the Demonic Path in the Central Continent, namely, the Demon Lord Hateful of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Demon Lord Blood Sea of the Styx Sect, and the Demon Lord Netherworld of the Immortal Sect.
All of them are true immortals who have reached the third calamity.
The simultaneous appearance of the three persons clearly meant that were going to fight together for the rare treasure.
“It’s really lively.”
Among the three, Lord Hateful Demon was the leader. He looked at True Man Jin Guang provocatively and ignored True Man Zi Xu and Old Man Wan Shi.
It didn't matter to the stubborn old man. As a casual cultivator, he had long been accustomed to such disregard.
The corner of Master Zixu's eyes twitched, but he finally held back and said nothing. He also gave up the idea of notifying Master Yuyang to come and help.
In the current situation, even if Tang summoned True Lord Yuyang, True Man Zhaoxia, and Taoist Qingping, it might not be able to win. It would also be easy to expose its cards, which would not be worth the loss.
Besides,
It’s not over yet…
As everyone was confronting each other, they saw two evil clouds floating in from the north.
When the evil wind dissipated, two demon kings appeared. They were the two biggest bosses in the demon clan currently entrenched in the north - King Tianhuang, who possessed the blood of the ancient phoenix, and King Shuize, who possessed the blood of the ancient Qilin.
After a while,
Two auspicious clouds floated over from the west, they were Taihao Zhenren from Yuxu Palace and Prajna Buddha from Liuli Buddhist Kingdom.
have to,
The big guys from the Central Continent are finally here.
Qin Mo took a look around and found that if the immortals and Buddhas and demons were combined together, a 5V5 team battle pattern would be formed.
The atmosphere seemed a bit weird.
As three-tribulation true immortals, except for the outsider Zixu Zhenren and the unknown old man Wanshi, the people from the four paths of immortals, demons, Buddhas and monsters had all heard of each other's names even if they had never fought head-on before.
It's not that unfamiliar.
However, due to the special stage of Central Continent, this was the first time that all of them had gathered together. They were all looking at each other, with ambiguous expressions in their eyes.
Qin Mo looked at them one by one and actually saw some clues.
I don’t know if it’s because the Hateful Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect and the True Man Taihao of the Yuxu Palace are “neighbors” but they are hostile to each other as soon as they meet.
In all likelihood, there had been a fight between the two before.
Although Jin Guang Zhenren of Jin'ao Island stood in the same camp as Tai Hao Zhenren, they obviously did not get along with each other. They stood far away from each other and looked at King Shuize with unfriendly eyes.
On the contrary, it was Prajna Buddha who established the Lapis Lazuli Buddha Kingdom with one hand. He had kind eyes and was wearing a khaki cassock, with a faint Buddha light hanging behind him.
Be it the two demon kings or the three devil lords, the eyes they looked at Prajna Buddha were unfriendly and faintly filled with a hint of fear, and they subconsciously stayed away from him.
This made Qin Mo even more interested in this Prajna Buddha.
However, ever since Prajna Buddha established the Lapis Lazuli Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions, outsiders have no idea what the situation is like inside that Buddhist kingdom.
Including our neighbor Xia State.
Because although the Lapis Lazuli Buddha Kingdom is known as the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, it is closed and never communicates with the outside world.
It adds a touch of mystery.
I don’t know if it was influenced by the River Map, but Qin Mo instinctively felt a little displeasure, even a little disgusted, when he saw Prajna Buddha.
This is weird!
Little did he know that Prajna Buddha was also very sensitive. He glanced at Qin Mo without leaving a trace, with a hint of doubt in his heart, "Why does this person have hostility towards him?"
As a Buddhist practitioner, he is extremely sensitive to murderous intent.
It is normal for two demon kings and three devil lords to release such murderous intentions, but what about Qin Mo?
They have no intersection with each other.
While he was wondering, Prajna Buddha sensed that the golden light column had suddenly changed. He immediately suppressed his thoughts, raised his head, and looked towards the top of Mount Tai, only to see the golden light column suddenly explode.
On a rock at the top of Mount Tai, there is a golden notice that is ten feet square.
"This is?"
Everyone looked at it, thinking that it was a rare treasure that had come out of the world.
Qin Mo also glanced over, but saw three large ancient seal characters written on the golden list - The Human Emperor List.
"Human Emperor Ranking, what kind of magic weapon is this?"
Qin Mo instinctively thought of something like the Investiture of the Gods and immediately became interested.
Looking down, there is a paragraph of text:
"The Central Continent is where the luck of the Earthly Immortals converges, where the dragon veins gather. Within five hundred years, a human emperor should emerge to sweep across the universe, unify the world, establish the capital of the nine states, and share the luck of the same religion."
This highlights the special status of the Central Continent.
only……
"One emperor will rule the world?"
Instinctively, Qin Mo smelled a strong smell of conspiracy - this was a sincere attempt to not let the countries live in peace, and they were determined to make the countries fight each other, and they even set a deadline of 500 years, which was enough for the rise and fall of a dynasty.
The most important thing is,
The Human Emperor List links the fortune of the Human Emperor with the fortune of the sect. Doesn't it coincide with the situation in the Central Continent?
This seems to be because the fight isn't lively enough.
Qin Mo read on patiently, and finally saw a list:
Lapis Lazuli Buddha Kingdom: Prajnaparamita Buddha
Shu Kingdom: King Duan Tian of Shu, Yuxu Palace
Xia Kingdom: Xia King Yandi, Shenxiao Sword Sect
Tang Dynasty: King Wei Tianli of Tang, Qingyang Temple
Yue Kingdom: King Qin Ming of Yue, Jin'ao Island
Immortal Kingdom: King Gu Xuan, Immortal Cult
Styx Kingdom: Lord Li Chong, Styx Sect
Demonic Kingdom: Lord Song Yin, Demonic Dao Sect
After all this fuss, it turned out that there was no rare treasure coming into the world. It was just that the Heavenly Dao used this as an excuse to issue a notice in order to stir up disputes among countries.
"have to!"
All eight secular dynasties in Central China are on the list, without a single one left out.
What’s interesting is that Prajna Buddha is actually the ruler of the Lapis Lazuli Buddha Kingdom, who practices the two-in-one philosophy and the unity of politics and religion.
This is in line with the traditional tradition of Yuezhou, the Buddhist country.
Because King Wei Tianli of Tang was born in Qingyang Temple, and the Zhenren Zixu who was in charge was also the head of Qingyang Temple, the fortune of the Tang Dynasty was directly tied to Qingyang Temple by the Heavenly Dao.
This is even more interesting.
If this is really the case, how will the three major sects, Chunyang Palace, Piaomiao Palace and Huanhua Sword Sect, cope with it?
"Is this the rhythm of splitting up the four major sects?"
Qin Mo curiously glanced at Master Zixu who was not far away. The latter naturally had a blank expression on his face, but when he looked at the expressions of Xiao Yang, Chen Xiaoyi and others, it was quite interesting.
Especially Xiao Yang,
It felt worse than eating a fly, and his face looked gloomy and uncertain.
Xiao Yang had an ugly look on his face, and the looks of the two demon kings, Tian Huang Wang and Shuize Wang, were even uglier. They had originally not taken the fortune of the Central Continent seriously, they just wanted to occupy a piece of territory.
therefore,
To this day, the two demon kings have not established a demon kingdom in the north.
As a result, when the Human Emperor List was released, the three paths of immortals, demons and Buddhas all appeared on the list, all in order, but there was not a single demon left, which made them ashamed and angry.
Even so, there are still people who add fuel to the fire.
Jin Guang Zhenren sneered and said, "I say, isn't it time for the two of you to leave? See, this is the Human Emperor List. It is an internal matter of our human race. What does it have to do with your demon race?"
Because of the sea border,
Among the immortals, the one that is most hostile to the demon clan is Jin'ao Island.
Especially since King Tianhuang and King Shuize are independent cultivators and demon immortals, in the eyes of an orthodox Xuanmen like Jin Guang Zhenren, they have no dignity at all and can be scolded at will!
"Just wait and see!"
The two demon kings did not want to suffer such humiliation any longer, so they turned into demon clouds and rolled away, determined to establish the demon kingdom in the shortest possible time.
There are still five hundred years to go!
"Amitabha!"
After the two demon kings left, Prajna Buddha chanted a Buddhist name to attract everyone's attention, and then said solemnly: "I rule the Glass Buddha Kingdom only to save all living beings, and I will never get involved in the throne of the Human Emperor. Everyone, goodbye!"
That is to say,
Before the war among the nations began, Prajna Buddha had already removed the Lapis Lazuli Buddha Kingdom from among them, and acted as if he only wanted to defend a piece of pure land, in order to maintain neutrality.
Saying,
Prajna Buddha raised his Buddha light and went straight to the west.
"The old bald donkey just pretends to be serious. He says he won't fight for it. Who are you trying to fool?!" Jin Guang Zhenren pouted.
“Ahem~~~”
Qin Mo was standing not far from Jin Guang Zhenren. After hearing these words, he almost choked on his saliva.
This Jin Guang Zhenren is a Three Tribulations Immortal after all, and a member of the orthodox Xuan Sect, so how can he speak so unreliably? He can say whatever he wants.
Really speak your mind.
"Perhaps, this is his true intention." Qin Mo could only understand it this way.
"Everyone, see you on the battlefield. Goodbye!"
The one who answered was Demon Lord Hatetian. Since there were no rare treasures, there was naturally no need to stay any longer.
As demons and Buddhas have successively withdrawn from the competition for the Human Emperor, the future Human Emperor will most likely be decided between the immortals and demons.
On the surface,
The immortal path occupies four countries, while the demon path only has three countries, and it seems that it is at a disadvantage.
But in the eyes of the Demon Lord Hateful, behind the Three Kingdoms of Demon are three super sects, while the Immortal Path is backed by only two major sects, the Yuxu Palace and the Jin'ao Island.
How do you see?
It also means that their magic path has a greater chance of winning.
From the beginning to the end, Lord Hateful Demon never took the Xia Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom seriously. The only rival of the Demon Kingdom was the Yue Kingdom, which was also located on the eastern coast.
As soon as the words fell,
The Demon Lord of Hateful Sky, the Demon Lord of the Netherworld, and the Demon Lord of the Sea of Blood created a black wind and flew towards the south.
The scene became even quieter.
Jin Guang Zhenren glanced at Tai Hao Zhenren, then glanced at Wan Shi Lao Ren, and finally his gaze stopped at Qin Mo. He smiled and said, "Lian Zhen Xingjun, are you free to come over to my place and have a seat?"
As soon as these words came out,
Qin Mo instantly became the focus of the whole audience.
Most people present knew that King Qin Ming of Yue was a descendant of Qin Mo. There were also many speculations from the outside world, all wondering what kind of relationship Qin Mo had with Jin'ao Island.
Looming.
Unexpectedly, Master Jin Guang brought it out so directly without hiding it at all, and he was very respectful to Qin Mo in his words without calling Qin Mo by his name.
Instead, he called Qin Mo's Taoist name.
"Since the master has invited me, I am naturally happy to do so." Qin Mo said with a smile.
“Okay, okay!”
Jin Guang Zhenren was also very straightforward, "Then don't stand there, let's go now!"
The two men raised their swords, one in front and one behind, and soon left Mount Tai and disappeared into the distant sky.
That's so straightforward.
Emperor Yan and Old Man Wanshi smiled bitterly at each other, shook their heads, and returned to Guanzhong together.
"Hey!"
Seeing that there was no more show to watch, Master Taihao also set up a auspicious cloud and returned to Shu.
On the way back, Master Taihao was already thinking in his mind, if Xia and Yue really formed an alliance, then how should Shu break this situation.
This is a big problem.
"Should we form an alliance with the Tang Kingdom?" A thought flashed through Master Taihao's mind, but he immediately shook it off.
Given the size of the Yuxu Palace, Master Taihao really couldn't bring himself to take the initiative to form an alliance with the Tang State. It would depend on whether the Tang State would understand or not.
If the Tang State takes the initiative to negotiate, then it would not be a bad idea to use the Tang State to contain the Yue State.
How to say,
It's also a chess piece.
…
Mount Tai.
"Real person, this...?"
Seeing a group of big guys coming and going quickly, Xiao Yang felt a little uncomfortable. He subconsciously looked at Master Zixu, wanting to hear what Master Zixu had to say.
" Let's talk about it !"
True Man Zixu seemed to be preoccupied and didn't want to say much.
Xiao Yang's mind became even more heavy. Unknowingly, due to the appearance of the Human Emperor List, an invisible gap appeared between Qingyang Temple and Chunyang Palace.
What will the future hold?
It depends on how they communicate and operate with each other.
Since Heaven has locked the fortune of the Tang State in Qingyang Temple, it is likely that this cannot be changed. It is fitting that Qingyang Temple has obtained this opportunity and has a chance to move to a higher level.
To put it bluntly, this opportunity was actually fought for by Qingyang Temple.
True Man Zixu has guarded the Tang Kingdom for more than a hundred years. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard.
The problem is, if we only rely on Qingyang Temple, then the Tang Kingdom will be at the same level as the Xia Kingdom, and there is no way it can compete with the Shu Kingdom, the Yue Kingdom, and the Tianmo Kingdom.
Even if there is an opportunity, it's all in vain.
If one really wants to fight for the throne of the Human Emperor, one must have the full support of Chunyang Palace, Piaomiao Palace and Huanhua Sword Sect, and they must work together.
This will test the wisdom of Master Zixu.
…
Qixia Mountain.
This is the place of practice chosen by Jin Guang Zhenren. In addition to himself, there are also twelve inner disciples from Jin'ao Island, all of whom were brought up by Jin Guang Zhenren.
Three of them were even his direct disciples.
After pressing down the sword light, Jin Guang Zhenren invited Qin Mo to a pavilion on the top of the mountain instead of going to the main hall. One reason was that he didn't want to be too formal, and the other was that it was their first contact.
This time, Master Jin Guang invited Qin Mo just to show goodwill and he didn't expect to really reach an agreement.
In no mood,
After some small talk, Qin Mo quickly got to the point and asked tentatively, "I wonder if you are willing to cooperate with me once?"
"Now?"
Zhenren Jin Guang frowned slightly, thinking that Qin Mo was trying to climb up the ladder.
That's too shortsighted.
"good."
Qin Mo, however, remained calm and composed , and his aura was not weak at all.
"How do you cooperate?"
Seeing Qin Mo so confident, Jin Guang Zhenren suddenly became interested. From the information he collected, Qin Mo did not seem to be a naive person.
"Xia and Yue will work together and cooperate with the sects to drive the northern monsters out of the Central Continent." Qin Mo said.
This was Qin Mo's original plan. However, since the demon clan had two True Immortals of the Third Tribulation, he had some concerns. If he really wanted to go to war with the demon clan, he would even have to take some risks.
Since Master Jin Guang has taken the initiative to show goodwill, Qin Mo doesn't mind cooperating with Jin'ao Island once.
It's a win-win situation!
Judging from Jin Guang Zhenren's previous words and deeds, he seemed to be very unimpressed with the northern demon tribe...
