The Gutuo Temple is located in Xuli Mountain. It is ancient and mysterious. No one knows how many years it has existed, and no one knows how many powerful people there are in the temple.
It is a mystery that always lingers in people's minds. It is also a holy place. It is said that praying and making wishes here are very effective and almost all wishes will be granted. Therefore, Gutuo Temple welcomes many mortals from the world to come and worship every day.
In reality, these are just some tricks.
For example, if a mortal has been suffering from illness for many years, after he goes to pray, the Gutuo Temple can easily give him some magic medicine or something and he can be cured easily.
For example, if a village encounters drought and has no harvest for a year, after praying, the Gutuo Temple will send people to make it rain. The so-called rain is naturally the power of water, or it may be brought from other rivers by great magical powers.
To put it bluntly, these little tricks can only deceive the ignorant mortals, make them believe in the Gutuo Temple and turn it into a holy place of worship, but the restorers will only respond with disdain.
In the past fifty years or so, the Gutuo Temple has been surrounded by heroes from several continents, and ordinary people cannot enter at all. This situation was fine at the beginning, but gradually, it sparked a heated discussion in Xihuzhou.
Many people expressed doubts and confusion. What happened in the holy land of Gutuo Temple? How come there were so many people as powerful as gods in the past fifty years
Of course, these hot discussions are basically topics among ordinary people.
All cultivators with some skills are naturally well aware of these situations, and everyone has entered a state of preparation for war, because not long ago, they received news that the rebellious Wu Tian had come to Xihuzhou to kill him.
Among these people, the most eye-catching ones are naturally the people from Qing Sect and Xu Sect, as well as the ferocious beasts from the Dragon God Mountains. There are hundreds of people in total, entrenched at the gate of Gutuo Temple. Each of them is powerful and majestic. Not to mention those mortals, even in the eyes of the healers, they are like gods.
Especially the nine-headed relics in the Dragon God Mountains, which are like nine towering mountains, so ferocious and awe-inspiring that they are daunting!
Apart from these, the others were basically people from the first-rate sects and second-rate forces in the five continents. As for the other top sects, no one was present.
The Forbidden Sect and the Weapon Sect chose to retreat, the Wanbao Pavilion sat back and watched, the Ice Valley stayed out of the matter, and it goes without saying that the Shura Palace of Qinglongzhou supported Wutan to the end, while the Yunv Sect and the Tianyang Sect remained silent from beginning to end and seemed to be watching.
All the sword sealers sent by the Sword Sect became Wujitian's subordinates. The Ghost Sect is currently in a cooperative relationship with him, but it is unknown how long this cooperative relationship can last.
Therefore, Wutan’s current enemies are only Gutuo Temple, Qing Sect, Xu Sect, and Longshen Mountains.
The four major forces combined still gave him a headache, so Wutan did not choose to confront them head-on, but chose to take the route marked on the animal skin scroll and go directly to the Buddha Temple.
As for this animal skin scroll, it was naturally obtained from Guiguzi's mustard seed bag.
According to the map, Xuli Mountain is thousands of feet high and is smooth and flat overall, as if it was chopped with an axe.
On the surface, there is only one entrance and exit to the Gutuo Temple. In fact, for countless years, the Ghost Sect has spared no effort and finally opened up a shortcut in the mountain of Xuli Mountain that only the successive leaders of the Ghost Sect know about.
The entrance to this shortcut is in a low mountain thousands of miles away from Xuli Mountain.
This low mountain is inconspicuous, only about a hundred feet high, with overgrown weeds and bushes. There is not even a ferocious beast in the Tuomai period, only a few flying insects and poisonous beasts.
Normally, no one would even take a second look at a place like this. However, today, it welcomed three uninvited guests.
The little guy lay on Wu Tian's shoulder, looked around, and said with a pout: "It's really a deserted place."
"It is definitely a wise choice for the Ghost Sect to place the entrance here. If we don't have the map in our hands, we probably won't discover the secret hidden inside even if we get here." The Insect King disagreed. Instead, he admired the brains of the Ghost Sect and others.
This place is only ten thousand miles away from Xuli Mountain. For a cultivator in the Divine Transformation Period, it can be reached in the blink of an eye. So, if you really want to say it, placing the entrance here is really extremely dangerous.
However, the Ghost Sect saw through this point. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place. Gutuo Temple might never have thought that the Ghost Sect would place the entrance to the shortcut right before their eyes.
"Little bug, why do you always like to go against Grandfather Frog? Believe it or not, Grandfather Frog will swallow you right now." The little fellow looked at him unkindly, then rolled his eyes and said jokingly, "When I first met Little Emperor, Grandfather Frog swallowed a blood-sucking bug. I still miss the taste of that!"
The pupils of the Insect King shrank, and a trace of fear was clearly visible, but his tone was very tough: "Boss Frog, I am just talking about the facts and reason. You are a descendant of the Heaven-Swallowing Beast, you are not going to use force to threaten me just because you can't win the argument!"
"Tsk, there's no logic to Mr. Frog. The only thing is who has the biggest fist. What? If you don't agree, let's have a competition?"
Wutan rubbed his forehead with a headache, feeling that it was a mistake to bring these two little guys out, because from the moment they set out from Fengmo Ridge until here, they had never stopped bickering.
"Hey, hey, hey, Boss Frog, you are really hopeless. You only know how to use violence to solve problems all day long. If you have the guts, let's talk some reason!"
"Get lost, come fight me if you dare!"
"Shut up!" Wu Tian shouted coldly, threatening: "If you continue to quarrel, I will send all of you to the Star Realm, and you will never come out again."
The two beasts immediately shut their mouths after hearing this, but the fight was not over yet. Since they couldn't use their mouths, they could use their eyes! They were like two angry misers, staring at each other, as if to say that they would not give up until there was a winner today.
Wu Tian felt a headache and said in a deep voice: "Whether the Ghost Sect is smart or not, and whether the Gutuo Temple is stupid or not, it has nothing to do with us. We just need to pass through this entrance and achieve our goal."
After he finished speaking, Wutan's eyes flashed like lightning as he glanced around. Finally, he locked onto a clump of bushes. He took a step forward, approached it in an instant, and then stomped his foot hard. The bushes flew everywhere, and the soil surged. A pitch-black hole, only a meter in size, quickly appeared in front of the three people.
This is the shortcut to the Buddha Hall.
“You’d better keep quiet. If we alarm those old monks before we reach the Buddha Hall, I will hold you accountable.” With a dark face, he gave the instructions and then Wutan’s figure flashed and quickly merged into the darkness.
The passage was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. However, this did not pose a problem for Wu Tian. His eyes shone brightly, like two bright moons, illuminating the front as bright as day.
At the beginning, the passage was very flat, but after driving for a while, the passage in front extended straight upward, and even the sound of chanting could be heard faintly.
"Buddha Hall..."
Staring upwards, Wutan's eyes flickered, and as his mind moved, a woman suddenly appeared. This woman was the most powerful ghost among the ghost messengers.
As soon as the woman appeared, she immediately bowed and said, "The Dark Legion's Deputy Commander, Ghost, greets you, sir."
"The Dark Legion?" Wu Tian was stunned.
Gui Mei smiled and said, "This is the result of my discussion with Jun Haotian and the others."
After Guimei's brief explanation, Wutan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. It turned out that the ghost who was severely beaten by the Sword Sealer was very unhappy and unwilling to join the Shura Legion. Therefore, after discussion by several powerful men in the Perfection Period, they simply established a Dark Legion, and the position of deputy legion commander was taken by Guimei.
As for the legion commander, he would naturally be left to Wujitia.
However, the choice of deputy commander of the Shura Legion was beyond Wu Tian's expectations. It turned out to be Jun Haotian.
According to his strength, it would be impossible for him to be the deputy commander, but Jian Yi and others said that they were unwilling to take charge and wanted to practice in seclusion. After some discussion, they all felt that Jun Haotian was resourceful and a talent for leadership, so the three great masters of the Perfection Stage nominated him to take the position.
In fact, Jun Haotian didn't want to be a deputy legion commander. After all, with such good conditions and endless resources, who wouldn't want to practice well
But Jian Yi and the other three strong men had spoken, how could he dare not obey? If he did not obey, he would definitely be beaten up. With no other choice, he could only reluctantly take the position for a while, and when he met the right candidate in the future, it would not be too late to give up.
As for their names, Jian Yi said that Shura Yi and the like were too difficult to pronounce, so it would be better to just use their original code names. Besides, they, the Sword Sealers, were all masters of kendo, and only names with swords in them would suit them.
The Dark Legion used the code name "Dark". The woman who was in the same perfect stage as the ghost naturally occupied the code name "An Yi", and was then ranked according to her strength.
In fact, this also has an advantage. After all, with so many people, who would remember anyone's name
Moreover, after discussion, the two deputy legion commanders Jun Haotian and Guimei unanimously decided that members of each legion must wear robes of the same color, white for the Shura Legion and black for the Dark Legion, and must engrave their own code names on their chests so that everyone can recognize each other's identities at a glance.
It is said that members of the two legions have already begun to make preparations in the Star Realm. It is feared that it will not be long before the real Shura Legion and Dark Legion appear in the sight of the world, and by then, an unprecedented storm will be set off in the five continents!
After hearing this, Wutan was naturally very satisfied. Not to mention other things, just take these tiny details as an example. If it were him, he might not even think of them.
After a moment of hesitation, Wu Tian asked in confusion, "How long will it take for the Ghost Sect's leader to arrive?"
A complex look flashed in the ghost's eyes, and finally he answered truthfully: "Everything is ready. As soon as there is a noise from our side, they will appear immediately and kill Gutuo Temple by surprise."
"The east wind has arrived, it's time to attack!"
Wu Tian's eyes flashed with coldness. He looked at Gui Mei and warned, "You go to the Star Realm first and tell everyone that there may be a tough battle to fight next. You can't be careless at all. You must prepare well for me. I don't want everyone to die in the first battle."
"Okay!" The ghost smiled faintly.
"Notify me when you're ready." After giving the order, Wutan waved his hand and sent the ghost into the starry world. Then he restrained his breath and flew slowly towards the top of the passage.
