In the Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island, the leader of the Tongtian Sect is sitting cross-legged on a futon, with many disciples of the Jie Sect sitting below, such as Taoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, Holy Mother Wudang, Holy Mother Guiling, Zhao Gongming, Empress Sanxiao, etc. They are all famous Jiejiao Immortals, but at this time, they have sad expressions on their faces, not for anything else but because in the confrontation with the three religions, Jiejiao killed and injured many disciples.
Leader Tongtian looked at the disciples below and said: "You already know the current situation. The three Western sects have joined forces to deal with our Jiejie sect. Many disciples have died under their hands. Now the three sects are gathered at Jinjiling. The presence of Kong Xuan from the Blood Sea lineage there gives us a chance to regroup."
After hearing this, Taoist Duobao asked with some doubts: "Teacher, although Kong Xuan has advanced cultivation, he may not be able to resist the disciples of the three religions, right? Among the three religions today, Xuandu, Randen, Guangchengzi and Yaoshi The four quasi-sages are here, even if they can't defeat Kong Xuan alone, if the four of them join forces, I'm afraid Kong Xuan won't be able to resist for long, so we should make preparations in advance."
After hearing this, Master Tongtian shook his head slightly, with a faint smile on his face: "Duobao, you underestimate Kong Xuan. Let's not talk about Kong Xuan's cultivation level, but his understanding and courage are incomparable to you. Duo Bao, you underestimate Kong Xuan. Bao, what you achieved to become a quasi-sage was the three-corpse method passed down by Taoist Hongjun, but Kong Xuan took a different approach and cut out the five-element corpse."
Master Tongtian is a saint after all. How could he not figure out the path Kong Xuan took? As early as when Kong Xuan beheaded the golden corpse of the five-element corpse at the Renhuang's abdication ceremony, Master Tongtian discovered the clues. Even though he was a saint, he really admired Kong Xuan's courage. He deprived himself of his innate supernatural powers and beheaded the corpses of the five elements in order to take a road to enlightenment and Hunyuan that no one else had ever walked. Such courage was unparalleled. A few of them own it.
To be honest, Master Tongtian really admires Styx's method of cultivating disciples. Although there are only three disciples sitting down, each of them is extremely amazing. If his disciples can be half or one-tenth as amazing as them, now He would not suffer losses again and again. Even Duobao, although he was already at the quasi-sage middle stage, was still much worse than them.
This was the first time that Duobao and others heard that their leader Tongtian always praised others. At the same time, they were also quite curious about Kong Xuan’s Five Elements Corpse mentioned by Master Tongtian. The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit asked: “Teacher, this Kong Xuan’s Five Elements What is the difference between the Way of the Three Corpses and the Way of the Three Corpses? Is this way even more powerful than the Way of the Three Corpses?"
Leader Tongtian explained: "It's not that the Five Elements Corpse is more powerful than the Three Corpses Way. The two are quite different. Kong Xuan has a gift of magical power called Five-Color Divine Light. His Five Elements Corpse is the result of destroying his own gift of supernatural power. After all the corpses of the Five Elements are cut out and cultivated to the ultimate level of quasi-sage, the corpses of the Five Elements can be combined into one to prove the way of Hunyuan. Such courage is rare in the world."
After hearing this, the disciples of Jie Jiao were all amazed. However, even if they were to deprive themselves of their innate supernatural powers, there were probably not many people in the world who dared to do so, let alone take a path of enlightenment that no one else had ever walked. No wonder they The teacher praised Kong Xuan's courage. After hearing this, Duobao and other disciples felt an unprecedented fighting spirit in their hearts.
Seeing the subtle changes in some of his disciples, Master Tongtian nodded with satisfaction. He just wanted to use Kong Xuan to stimulate his disciples and make them stop being arrogant. Now that the goal has been achieved, Master Tongtian continued: "Now It may not be easy for the three religions to break through Jinji Ridge. There is already a grudge between the sea of blood and the three religions. I am afraid that Kong Xuan will not be merciful, but it may also weaken some of the strength of the three religions."
After Duobao heard this, he asked: "Teacher, even if the disciples of the Three Religions cannot get along well in Jinjiling, Kong Xuan is not one of my disciples after all. No one can predict how long Kong Xuan will fight with the Three Religions. We We should have made preparations in advance. We suffered a lot from the previous confrontation with the three religions, and even Lord Shitian and the others were brutally attacked."
After hearing this, Master Tongtian nodded. Now there is no possibility of relaxation between the three religions and Jiejie. In the battle of the Conferred Gods, either you will die or I will die. It is indeed good that Duobao can think of taking precautions. Master Tongtian said: "Duobao Bao, you are right. Previously, your junior brothers and nephews were defeated one by one by the disciples of the three religions. If you want to go out to help the Yin Shang in the future, you can go together and deal with the people of the three religions together."
After hearing this, the Jie Jiao disciples all nodded. The Jie Jiao disciples who were killed before were indeed defeated one by one by the disciples of the three religions. Although they could take some advantage at first, in the end they were usually defeated one by one by the disciples of the three religions. The last ones were listed on the list of gods one by one. If the disciples of the Jie Sect came out together, it might not be so easy for the disciples of the three sects to succeed.
After the disciples of the Jie Sect retreated, the Biyou Palace suddenly became empty, with only the Tongtian Cult Master left. The Tongtian Cult Master suddenly frowned and said lightly: "Fellow Taoist Minghe, since you are here, why don't you show up?" See you?" As soon as Master Tongtian finished speaking, a crack appeared in the hall, and Styx was seen slowly walking out of it.
As soon as he came out, Ming He smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Tongtian, it's a bit rude for me to come here uninvited." I saw Ming He waved his sleeves, and the majestic magic power suddenly disappeared, and there was no change in the surroundings. This is actually the secret of Biyou Palace that Styx has used his supreme magic power to cover up. He is here for his own purposes, and he doesn't want others to know.
Seeing that Styx had suddenly covered up the secrets of heaven, Master Tongtian knew in his heart that what Styx might have done was not a trivial matter, so he asked, "What is the purpose of Fellow Taoist Master Minghe coming here?" Master Tongtian naturally knew that Styx was here. He came here for the Battle of the Gods, but he didn't know what Styx was going to do, and why did he come to him
Ming He smiled slightly, waved his sleeves, raised a cloud platform, and sat cross-legged on it. He did not directly answer the question of the leader of Tongtian. Instead, he asked: "Fellow Taoist Tongtian, the saint entrusts the way of heaven with his soul. Immortality, what do you think of this?" Ming He smiled, but the question he heard had some weird flavor.
Leader Tongtian frowned slightly when he heard what Dao Minghe said. Looking at Minghe's smiling face, Leader Tongtian said calmly: "If the prehistoric era is not destroyed, then the way of heaven will not be destroyed. If the way of heaven is not destroyed, then the saint will not die." Although the words were plain, But one sentence expresses the situation of the saints. The saints rely on the way of heaven to achieve immortality. However, if the way of heaven is destroyed, the saints will also be destroyed. Who allows them to place their souls on the way of heaven.
Ming He heard what Master Tongtian said and nodded, but Master Tongtian took it very seriously, so he said: "Since fellow Taoist knows this, he must also know why Pindao gave up the Hongmeng Purple Qi in the first place. Pindao said What I am pursuing is the Supreme Way, so how can I let the Way of Heaven bind me? Fellow Taoist Tongtian must understand what I mean."
After hearing what Ming He said, Master Tongtian's expression became a little complicated. He naturally understood what Ming He meant, but if he really wanted to do this, I'm afraid no one in the world would have such courage. Although Master Tongtian thinks highly of himself, he still has to do it. If he were to make up his mind to break away from the way of heaven and give up his position as a saint, it would be difficult for him to choose.
Leader Tongtian looked at Styx, straightened his expression, and said: "I am afraid that fellow Taoist Styx is here not just to tell me this! What is the matter with you, fellow Taoist, please tell me directly, I don't like it." Playing riddles with others." Styx was talking nonsense with him, and the leader of Tongtian was really confused about Styx's intentions.
Minghe laughed and said: "Okay, in that case, Pindao won't do charades. Pindao came here just because he wanted to make a deal with fellow Taoist Tongtian. Now people understand that the three Western religions have joined forces to deal with Jiejiao. Laozi and Yuanshi are two I am afraid that people have long ignored the brotherhood between you and the name of the Three Pure Ones. Although fellow Taoists have the Zhuxian Sword Formation in their hands, the four of me, Yuanshi, Jieyin and Zhunti combined are enough to break the Zhuxian Sword Formation. What will fellow Taoists do then?"
What Ming He said seemed to have touched the sore spot of Tongtian Cult Leader. Tongtian Cult Leader's expression changed slightly, then returned to normal, and said calmly: "Even so, the poor Taoist also has a way to deal with it, so I don't need to worry about it, fellow Taoist. If it's just for This matter, then fellow Taoist can go back." Master Tongtian has his own arrogance, how could he use the hands of Styx to fight against the enemy.
Minghe couldn't help laughing when he heard the words of Master Tongtian: "Haha... Fellow Taoist has his own principles. Pindao naturally knows it. The transaction that Pindao said has nothing to do with it. Fellow Taoist's battles are handled by fellow Taoist himself. , how can I, Styx, interfere? Besides, even if we have to deal with them, I, like my fellow Taoists, still disdain for others to join forces."
