The Path of the Sage

Chapter 681: Funerary objects

Views:

Ji Zhibai looked at Fang Yun's back, and felt a chill in his heart. Geniuses are not scary. There are too many geniuses throughout history, but only a few have achieved great success. What is scary is that a genius like Fang Yun not only studies hard day and night, but also learns from others' strengths anytime and anywhere, makes up for his own shortcomings, and is good at correcting his own shortcomings.

On the path of holiness, this quality can take one further than talent alone.

Not only did Ji Zhibai notice the change in Fang Yun, but Lei Li at the back of the team also had a flash of dark cloud in his eyes, which was thicker than the leaden clouds in the sky over the ancient deserted city.

In addition, several middle-aged scholars had gratified smiles on their faces.

With the joint efforts of three hundred scholars, the battle soon came to an end.

Many monsters died with unwilling eyes. These humans were not ordinary Jinshi at all. At least twenty of them had the strength equivalent to ordinary Hanlin!

The newly-appointed scholars from various countries who had entered the Holy Ruins with Fang Yun were extremely moved.

They can be said to be Fang Yun's true peers. Last year, the gap between them and Fang Yun was not much different, but now the gap between the two sides is tens of thousands of Ji Zhibais.

Even Yan Yukong, the top scholar of that year, was too young and was only barely on the same level as Ji Zhibai and Qiao Juze. He was far inferior to ordinary poets, let alone Fang Yun.

After slaughtering a giant tribe of 30,000 monsters, the scholars continued to march towards the Monster Mountain.

A fierce battle broke out at the bridgehead fortress on Hunting Ground Island.

Tens of millions of monsters began to attack the fortress, and only tens of thousands of human soldiers were defending it.

If the city wall was not limited in length, and there were only a few tens of thousands of people fighting on both sides at the same time, the human race would have been defeated long ago.

The great scholars and demon kings on both sides did not take direct action.

The great demon kings were suspended in the sky ahead, overlooking the human city walls.

The great scholars simply used poems of encouragement, poems of strengthening the army, poems of protection, etc. for the human soldiers, directly raising the strength of ordinary soldiers to the level of demon generals, but the price was that these soldiers' lifespans would be somewhat damaged.

And in the further distance, strange power fluctuations or brilliance appeared, which were the result of the collision of the power of the Holy Way.

The clones of the demon saints and the clones of the human saints are also fighting.

There was a brief moment of peace in the Jinshi Hunting Ground.

The scholars ran quickly, talking happily as they ran.

Along the way, the group encountered many tribes. When they encountered a giant tribe, they approached it by concealing the truth. When they encountered a tribe of only 10,000 people, they directly killed them.

This way of scholars from ten countries fighting the enemy together can best demonstrate the strength of a country.

The four major powers have maintained their top rankings, with Jia, Qing, Yue and Jing being on par with each other.

Because there were too many people, Fang Yun did not let Wudie consume Weak Water and Strange Wind. If he used them in every battle, Wudie would definitely become exhausted.

At night, everyone finally arrived near the three demon mountains and looked ahead.

The three demon mountains are lined up in a standard "mountain" shape. The middle one is the highest, a full three thousand feet high, and the mountains on both sides are also a full one thousand feet high.

"It is said that a semi-saint incarnation moved the three mountains from afar to this place and reinforced them with the power of the holy way."

"Brother Shouyu, please use the Book of Changes to deduce where the disaster is coming from."

Ji Shouyu nodded. He had a beard and a rough appearance. He walked with great vigor, but he was a very careful person.

The people nearby stepped back slightly to make room for Ji Shouyu, and Ji Shouyu looked towards the three mountains. A group of Bagua diagrams appeared in each of his eyes.

The Bagua diagram in his eyes was spinning slowly, faster and faster. Suddenly, the Bagua diagram stopped abruptly.

"Cough..." Ji Shouyu closed his eyes, bent down, covered his mouth with his hands and started coughing, blood oozing out from between his fingers.

The Jinshi of Qiguo rushed over to support him.

"What happened to Shouyu?"

Ji Shouyu waved his hands hastily and said, "It doesn't matter. The other party has the power of the Saint to cover it up."

"What? Saintly power? Impossible!"

"How could this be!"

Everyone was shocked. Even Fang Yun couldn't believe it.

"Impossible! To enter this place, the demon barbarians must pass at least two tests. The first is the test of the Holy Temple, and the second is the test of the power of the Holy Throne that protects the hunting ground. How could there be any mistake?"

"Yes, there is absolutely no power of the Holy Throne! Do you think the Holy Temple of my human race does not exist?"

“Brother Kong, your family has a long history of learning. Do you know that there is a demon saint with power that can hide from the holy temple and hunting ground?”

Kong Detian's expression changed, and then he sighed helplessly and said, "Yes, at least I know a power that can hide from the Holy Temple and the Hunting Ground."

"What kind of power?"

"Moon God. My Kong family once obtained an unknown divine object in the ancient land of Confucius and placed it in the ancient holy temple. But it was stolen without anyone noticing that night. The person who came left behind a piece of animal skin with a demon language written on it saying that it was the Moon God's thing and was of vital importance to the Moon God's Gui Palace. Please forgive them for taking it without permission. I will definitely thank them if I have the chance."

"So it's the Moon Goddess. She was originally one of the ancestral gods of the demon world. But it seems that because of the dispute between the Blood Demon Barbarians and the Star Demon Barbarians, she joined forces with the Demon Ancestor to rebel against the demon world, so that there are no statues of the two on the All Saints' Tree in the demon world. It is said that the Moon Goddess helped King Wen and Confucius, and was also on good terms with the dragon clan, but there has been no news of her for hundreds of years." said Meng Nuo from the Mengzi family.

Kong Detian nodded and said, "The Moon Goddess is famous for her illusions. She can manipulate truth and falsehood at will. Even the Ancestral God needs some time to crack her illusions. If the Moon Goddess transforms into a semi-saint of our human race, she can even deceive the Holy Temple! She can directly borrow power from the Holy Temple!"

"How terrifying. But, there's no way the Moon God would cooperate with the demon world, right?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Then what power can be hidden from the Holy Temple and the Hunting Ground?"

Everyone was talking about it.

Fang Yun thought about how he had obtained a treasure related to the Moon God after entering the Demon Ancestor's Gate from the Holy Ruins. At that time, the Wolf Tribe's Saint, Lang Li, wanted to use the Moon Phase Divine Stone to activate the Moon God's Relics to deny his identity as the Moon Emperor. However, Lang Li failed to achieve his goal and the Moon Phase Divine Stone was absorbed by the Moon God's Relics. However, Fang Yun gained a strange power, which was obviously the sum of the two divine objects, the Moon Phase Divine Stone and the Moon God's Relics.

After obtaining the mysterious power, Fang Yun not only had better eyesight, but could easily see through the magic of the demons in battle and never showed too much power. If no one mentioned the Moon God, Fang Yun would not remember that he had obtained the Moon Phase Divine Stone for a while.

Yan Yukong said: "In that case, we should thank Fang Xusheng for his decisive call on us! Since there is Saint power inside, the longer it accumulates, the more dangerous it is to us. If it were tomorrow, I am afraid we would have been killed by the Saint power that has been accumulated for a long time. However, Brother Shouyu, the key now is to see through the source of the Saint power."

Ji Shouyu smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I don't want to do it, but I can't. That is the power of the Saint, not an illusion or a deliberate cover-up with sorcery. If you don't understand the Saint's Way, you can only see through it with absolute power!"

"It's over! The power of the Saint of Yaoman is lurking inside. We are doomed!"

Lei Li suddenly said in a sinister voice: "What a great Fang Xusheng! Who would have thought that the elite of the human race would become your burial companion!"

Everyone was stunned. Ma Zhaoming said angrily, "Lei Li, you have no evidence, how can you slander me?"

Lei Li smiled contemptuously: "The demon barbarians spared no expense to kill Fang Yun, even using the Moon Tree Divine Punishment. How could they not think of using the Spring Hunt to kill him! And someone has said before that mobilizing the Moon Tree Phantom is much easier than mobilizing the Moon Tree Divine Punishment! As long as the demon barbarians are not stupid, they will definitely take action!" (To be continued...)
