In Ganquan Garden in the imperial capital, Su Yun was bathing and resting. After a while, the sound of him walking out of the bath was heard from the inner room.
Outside, many immortals had prepared the altar, waiting for Su Yun to bathe and change clothes.
"Why do important people always like to bathe and change clothes before performing rituals?" Yingying asked the prince, "Do you also bathe and change clothes before performing rituals?"
The prince said indifferently, "Me too. I took a nice bath and felt refreshed, so I enjoyed killing people."
Yingying stuck out her tongue and smiled: "You just like to pretend to be elegant."
The prince shook his head and said, "When facing a war, you must bathe, burn incense, and change into new clothes. The new clothes must be soft and fit well, and there must be no unnecessary accessories to interfere with yourself. This is to respect your own life."
Before he finished speaking, there was the sound of a door opening. Su Yun, dressed in white, looked solemn and walked slowly up to the altar.
The prince said softly, "Especially when you are in a high position, you cannot fail. Failure means all your efforts have gone to waste, and the expectations of the millions of people under your command will turn into disappointment. At this time, you need to sit in the bath and calm down, then let the fragrance take away your troubles, put on new clothes, and walk lightly without the previous burdens."
Yingying looked at him. Although this prince was a God-Emperor born in the innate blessed land of the Sixth Immortal Realm, he had another identity. That is, from ancient times to the present, all the God-Emperors born in the Immortal Realm were him.
He has experienced too many things, almost all major events from ancient times to the present.
He expressed Su Yun's state of mind at the moment because he had also experienced a similar state of mind.
The prince watched Su Yun walk up to the altar barefoot, step by step, and continued, "He needs a victory to stabilize the hearts and minds of the people and the army, and he also needs a victory to consolidate his allies. Especially the Queen Mother of Heaven."
Su Yun climbed onto the altar, spread out his white robe, and sat on the ground.
The immortals and gods all around bowed, revealed their true forms, and stood in various places on the altar.
Around the altar, there were more than 2,000 gods and demons, of which 316 were adult gods and demons. The 36 gods and demons, including Yinglong, Bai Ze, Pixiu, Taotie, and Nvchou, led the gods and demons to arrange in different directions.
However, there are still more than a thousand statues missing from the target of 3,600.
The imperial court is vast and sparsely populated, with rich resources. The immortal ways mixed with the immortal energy in the blessed land will give birth to gods and demons, but if you want to find the complete 3,600 gods and demons, you need to search all the blessed lands in the fairy world, only then will you be able to find so many gods and demons.
But it is extremely difficult.
The prince whispered to Yingying, "Empress Dowager can even betray Emperor Jue, let alone Emperor Su? Therefore, Emperor Su must show his strength to the Empress Dowager."
Yingying flew up and landed on the empty seat on the altar.
The prince showed a look of surprise, and saw Yingying with a solemn expression, offering up her own Taoist flowers, which flew out and landed on more than a thousand other empty seats!
She used her own Dao Flower to fill the vacant position among the 3,600 gods and demons!
The prince nodded gently and whispered: "The Holy Emperor Su must not borrow the power of any outsiders. He must rely on himself and his power to stop the Master Emperor and show his strength and potential to the Queen of Heaven."
In this duel, Su Yun could not call upon the Crown Prince, the Six Elders of Yuezhaoquan, or ask for other external assistance.
He could only rely on his own accumulation as well as that of the Imperial Court, Yuanshuo and other places.
He must win this battle!
If you fail, the Queen in the court will turn against you!
Only by winning can he consolidate the Queen Mother's alliance, let the Emperor of Longevity move from the South Pole, and attack Houtu Cave Heaven together with himself, thus reducing his pressure!
The prince looked at Su Yun. This was a crucial battle for him.
Su Yun sat quietly on the altar, his face calm. Immortals came running over carrying eight heavy jars, placed the eight jars around Su Yun, then bowed and retreated.
“Puff, puff, puff!”
The seal on the altar suddenly broke, and chaotic air flew out from the altar. The extremely heavy gas made the altar creak.
However, the chaotic energy in the altar was flowing out, turning into strange chaotic runes, swimming in the air. The altar was filled with the sea water of the Chaos Sea. When Nan Xuangeng pushed open the Beima Great Wall, Su Yun collected a lot of the sea water of the Chaos Sea, which came in handy at this moment.
Buzz.
A slight vibration was heard, and a series of innate Tao realms emerged from above Su Yun's head, extending, spreading out, and covering the altar.
These are three innate realms of Tao.
The three Taoist realms contained the profound mystery of the innate Qi, which made the prince dizzy.
He even had an inexplicable sense of intimacy with these three Taoist realms.
He is derived from the innate Qi, and contains eighteen hundred kinds of immortal ways in his body. Although he is not the innate Qi, he is born from the Qi in the innate blessed land.
Su Yun opened up the third realm of the Innate Qi three years ago, and his understanding of the Innate Qi has become increasingly profound. Compared to the sword path, his progress in the Innate Qi is really slow, and it is really not easy for him to break through to the third realm.
Every step forward will be extremely difficult.
Those chaos runes swam in his three Dao realms, and soon they shook their heads, shed their rune forms, and turned into chaos creatures, swimming around.
Three sword flowers appeared above Su Yun's head. The stamens trembled slightly, and the fourth level of sword realm appeared. Various sword magic skills appeared in the fourth level of the realm.
At this time, Fang Zhuzhi came over and bowed to Su Yun across the altar.
Su Yun nodded slightly but did not stand up.
Fang Zhuzhi shouted softly, and a Taoist world flew out from above his head, transforming into various imperial seals.
Su Yun's seal technique is far inferior to Fang Zhuzhi's, so Fang Zhuzhi is asked to come and help.
Su Yun formed seals with the ten fingers of both hands, and then pointed out his ten fingers one by one. The finger power exploded and turned into a series of chaotic magical powers. The power of chaotic magical powers was contained and floated around.
His Qi manifested and transformed into the figures of the Immortal Emperors of all generations and Emperor Shu and Emperor Hu, standing in the air. He then activated his innate Qi and transformed it into innate Qi magical powers, forming magical powers such as the Thunder Layer and Hunyuan Slash.
Finally, Su Yun gently drew a circle with his hands, and a wheel of cosmic light flew up in his hands.
From then on, a large bell was formed on the altar.
At this time, Prince Yu rushed to Cangwu Immortal City, hung the black iron bell under the city gate, and said loudly: "But if anyone can take down this bell, the lord will give up Cangwu Immortal City without wasting a single soldier!"
The old gods of Cangwu and others hurriedly retreated into the Cangwu Immortal City, reorganized their forces, and prepared for the second battle.
On the first day, the Master Emperor gave the order to attack the Black Iron Bell. The bell shook and turned into a huge object that crushed everything.
Under the fierce attack of the Master Emperor, countless corpses were left behind. Even if the immortals, gods, and demons rushed into the Huangzhong, they could not shake this treasure at all, and were instead reduced to ashes!
The Master Emperor then stationed his troops in front of the Immortal City, mobilized all the major blessed places, activated the important instruments of the Immortal Way, and bombarded the Black Iron Bell. After more than ten days of continuous attacks, the Black Iron Bell did not suffer any damage.
When Master Emperor saw this, he knew how serious it was, so he mobilized the immortal way of the blessed land, transformed himself into an incarnation, and walked towards the black iron bell as the incarnation.
When she approached the Black Iron Bell, she saw the world suddenly change, and three thousand six hundred Black Iron gods and demons appeared before her.
The Master Emperor immediately mobilized more than 600 immortal incarnations of the blessed land, invaded the Black Iron Bell, and killed their way in. She was the Emperor, a being at the eighth level of the Dao realm, and was invincible on the battlefield. As long as she had the blessed land, she would not have any loss of magic power!
After this fierce battle, even though Master Emperor was extremely powerful, he was exhausted and out of breath. More than 600 incarnations were nearly blown up. Finally, he had no choice but to urge the incarnation of the Emperor of Earth to join the battle!
In the imperial capital, around the altar, Yinglong, Bai Ze and other gods and demons were mobilized by Su Yun with his innate Qi. They moved along with the operation of the Huangzhong, displaying all kinds of magical powers, and attacked the phantoms of the incarnations of the Master Emperor!
After fighting for more than ten days, even Yinglong was exhausted, and the other gods and demons were also exhausted and had no strength to fight anymore.
"when-"
When the bell rang, Yinglong and many other gods and demons retreated.
Cangwu Fairy City.
When the sound of a bell came from the more than 600 incarnations of the Master Emperor, they saw 3,600 black iron gods and demons retreating one by one and disappearing in the vast chaotic air.
"This bell is amazing! It has been able to hold off my many incarnations for such a long time!"
Master Dijun's heart skipped a beat, and she continued to charge forward. She encountered chaotic creatures, which suppressed her immortal path, making it difficult for her incarnation to exert even 30% of its strength!
At this time, immortal swords flew over, appearing and disappearing in the chaotic air, and killed dozens of incarnations in a row.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Emperor Shi immediately ordered his Emperor Earth God incarnation to lead the other incarnations to retreat.
When she walked out of the chaos and looked back, she saw that the black iron bell was still hanging at the gate of Cangwu Immortal City, motionless.
The Master Emperor frowned.
Above the army of Houtu Dongtian, the sword light imprint formed by the first sword formation diagram was still hanging on the sky. From time to time, sword lights fell and were blocked by one precious treasure after another.
The power of the first sword formation diagram could not penetrate, but it also brought them great pressure, and more spiritual energy was consumed in resisting the power of the sword formation diagram.
If they were trapped here by this black iron bell, it would be extremely disadvantageous for them!
Either break the bell by force or retreat. If we remain deadlocked here, there will probably be casualties.
The Master Emperor looked solemn, took a long breath, and immediately ordered to gather the talents and masters in the army to crack the black iron bell. On the other hand, she sent out teams of immortal scouts to try to bypass Cangwu Immortal City and find other ways to go deep into the imperial court.
There are sixteen cave heavens under the jurisdiction of Hou Tu Dong Tian, and the same is true for the Sixth Immortal Realm. The two immortal realms together have a total of thirty-two cave heavens. Each cave heaven has jurisdiction over dozens of worlds at least and hundreds of worlds at most.
There are quite a few talented people and many experts among them.
Soon, many people with extraordinary talents were selected and entered the Black Iron Bell with the Immortal King, trying to crack the bell and take it down.
However, every time the bell rings, there is no return.
In two months, thousands of strong and wise men died inside the bell!
Even Liang Yu Tianjun, the most capable person under Master Emperor, died inside the bell. For a while, no one dared to shake the bell.
On the other hand, the scouts sent by Emperor Shi tried to bypass the Immortal City, but they encountered attacks banned by the Imperial Court and suffered heavy casualties.
Because this imperial court was a place where regicide was committed, Emperor Feng and the high-ranking officials of the Immortal Court committed regicide here and slaughtered Emperor Jue's descendants. They killed all of Emperor Jue's descendants, and therefore sealed this place.
The seal left by the Immortal Court was naturally easy for the Immortal Court to remove, but the seal on the road had been changed by Qiu Shuijing.
Qiu Shuijing used the Chaos Jade to evolve his magical powers, changing the seal here beyond recognition, making it more powerful and more perfect, and causing countless scouts to be killed or injured.
Some scout teams were luckier and escaped death, but when they broke into other immortal cities, they were killed by the defenders there.
Emperor Shi waited for several months, but under the threat of the First Sword Formation Diagram, the loss of his immortal energy was too great, so he had no choice but to leave behind elite troops to continue guarding the place. The other immortals, gods, and demons withdrew their troops, left the imperial court, and stationed outside.
Here, the Master Emperor wrote to the Immortal Court, informing them of the difficulty they had encountered, and said, "Your Majesty, please send someone with extraordinary wisdom to crack this bell."
After a few days, a fairy light shone over the camp, extremely bright. Master Emperor hurriedly led the crowd to welcome it, bowed and said: "Xiao Ke's matter actually alarmed the Heavenly Master, please forgive me, please forgive me."
The man who came was none other than Long Tianshi, one of the four great Tianshi of the Immortal Court. He had a Taoist aura and was one of the most intelligent people in the Immortal Court. He came with a group of disciples under his command, all of whom had high foreheads and extraordinary wisdom.
Long Tianshi shook his whisk and said with a smile, "I dare not. I saw the blueprint of the black iron bell presented by the emperor, which is really exquisite. I can't help it, so I came to break his black iron bell. If I can take this bell, it can also help me improve my Taoism."
The Master Emperor was overjoyed: "With the Heavenly Master here, it will be easy to capture him."
After Long Tianshi made a few humble remarks, Master Dijun quickly led the way and arrived in front of Cangwu Immortal City.
Long Tianshi looked at Cangwu Immortal City from afar, his heart trembled with fear, and praised: "Dangerous, dangerous! If you want to break through this majestic pass, you must use corpses to pile up!"
He saw the black iron bell hanging under the city gate, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "What a treasure! Emperor, you stay here, wait for me to break the Taoist magic of Su Shenghuang and take down this bell!"
The Master Emperor saw them off, and then Master Long Tian led a group of disciples into the coverage of the black iron bell with great dignity.
This time, I was away for half a year.
Master Emperor and others were getting anxious waiting.
Half a year later, a loud bell sound was heard suddenly, and many corpses fell from the bell mouth. One of the corpses was holding a whisk in its hand.
"Master Long is dead!" The morale of the immortal armies in Houtu Cave Heaven was in chaos.
Emperor Shi was terrified and quickly summoned all the immortals to stabilize the morale of the army.
In the imperial capital, on the altar of Ganquan Garden, Su Yun suddenly vomited blood and his breath became weak.
Over the past six months, he mobilized all his wisdom, exhausted and killed Master Long Tianshi, and almost died on the altar!
