Chapter 001: Five Years of Great Change
In the fifth year after Zhao Qingshan left the Heavenly Court retreat and practiced in the palace, Yang Wanyan walked in with a solemn face, and asked Taishang Laojun, who was holding a mirror in the palace to watch a certain scene, "How is it, haven't you still contacted Your Majesty?" ”
Hearing Yang Wanyan's inquiry, Taishang Laojun, who was carefully observing the picture in the mirror, was slightly stunned, then turned his head to look at Yang Wanyan, and smiled bitterly, "Holy Mother, this is the eighth hundred and seventy-first time in the past three years that you have asked the same question to this seat, Your Majesty's retreat and cultivation place seems to block the entry and exit of all mana, and this seat cannot contact Your Majesty at all!" ”
"What about those transmission talismans that His Majesty left in the Heavenly Court?" Yang Wanyan gritted her teeth and asked.
"It was all consumed more than two years ago." Taishang Laojun shrugged his shoulders helplessly, put down the mirror in his hand, looked up and asked, "The reincarnation of those immortal Buddhas has been arranged?" ”
"Hmm." Yang Wanyan nodded slowly, but her heart was dripping blood, "It took more than two hundred heavenly soldiers to sacrifice the reincarnation of these immortal Buddhas to be safely transferred to the Kunlun Immortal Realm, but with the current situation, if it continues like this, the great array of the Kunlun Immortal Realm may only last for another three days, and then it will ......."
"These people are the hope of my heavenly court, and we must not let them die in the hands of this group of Western barbarians! If you can't do it then, bring them back to Heaven! Taishang Laojun's face was solemn, and he said in a condensed voice.
"However, if you bring them back to Heaven, you will inevitably attract the attention of those demons. When the time comes, won't the position of Heavenly Court be exposed? Yang Wanyan said with a worried face: "The immortals of all tribes have suffered heavy casualties, if there is no increase in new dings, then Heavenly Court will definitely be defeated!" ”
"The reincarnated bodies of the immortal Buddhas are all protected in the Kunlun Immortal Realm, as long as Your Majesty can return from the customs and return to the reincarnation of these immortal Buddhas, even if you can't achieve an overwhelming advantage, you can also break back the current decline." Taishang Laojun said with a deep groan: "All the hopes of the heavenly court are pinned on Your Majesty...... I don't know where His Majesty is in retreat, and he can't contact the outside world! ”
"Maybe Your Majesty didn't mean it......" Yang Wanyan smiled bitterly: "Who would have thought that Your Majesty would spend less than half a year after the retreat." Western barbarians are invading the land of my Shenzhou on a large scale? At present, Heavenly Court is in the recovery stage, and there are less than 10,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals left now, and the entire land of Shenzhou is in misery, could it be that this is the catastrophe of my Heavenly Court?! ”
"This is not the time to discuss these things." Taishang Laojun looked at Yang Wanyan, and after a pause, he said: "Maintain the large array of Kunlun Immortal Realm as much as possible, block as much time as you can, and this seat will check the situation in the lower realm as soon as possible, Kunlun Immortal Realm." Our Lady of Labor has a lot to worry about. ”
"If the Kunlun Immortal Realm really can't be maintained, I'll take the reincarnations of those immortal Buddhas back to Heaven to continue to protect?" Yang Wanyan bit her lip lightly and said, "With Heavenly Court's defense system, it should be able to hold out for a few more months, but the matter of the Yang World ......"
"Right now, the creatures in the yang world can only ask for more blessings." Taishang Laojun sighed lightly. Then he said with some joy: "Fortunately, these Western barbarians will not attack ordinary people, and their purpose in entering the land of Eastern Shenzhou is probably to replace the position of the Heavenly Court Immortal Buddha in the minds of the people of the land of Shenzhou, and to break the foundation of my Heavenly Court, so that they can draw their salaries from the bottom of the kettle!" ”
"That's right. The development of the Taoist forces in the Yang World has also encountered troubles, and the swarming Western barbarians have destroyed hundreds of Taoist palaces one after another, if it continues like this, ......" Yang Wanyan said with a worried face: "If it continues like this, I am afraid that all the efforts of Your Majesty in the Yang World will be in vain." ”…,
"There's no way around it." Taishang Laojun shook his head and said, "Right now, Heavenly Court is already in danger. It was expected that the Taoist palace would be suppressed by the Western barbarians...... Didn't Your Majesty still leave a personal disciple in the yang world? That, the little girl named Mochou? ”
"Well, it's called Mo Chou." Yang Wanyan bowed slightly, nodded in response: "Fortunately, Your Majesty left Mo Chou to lead the Taoist forces in the Yang Realm, if Mo Chou did not lead the Yang True Cultivator into battle this time, I am afraid that the pressure on the Heavenly Court will be even greater, and the reincarnation of those immortal Buddhas." There is also more than half of it is protected by Mo Chou, thanks to His Majesty who laid this dark chess in advance, otherwise Heavenly Court will only be more passive. ”
"What about the Four Seas Demon Immortal? Haven't there been a clear answer yet? Taishang Laojun's heart moved, and asked, "The Dragon King of the South China Sea, Ao Qin, didn't react either?" ”
"There was a reaction, but it basically didn't matter." Yang Wanyan said: "There are only a handful of aquarium demon immortals ashore, I just went to the South China Sea a few days ago, and met Ao Qin's wife, that is, the Jin Se who ascended to the immortal five years ago, her answer was ambiguous, and there was some prevarication. ”
"Oh......" Taishang Laojun nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Don't care about these things for now, protecting the reincarnation of those immortal Buddhas is the top priority at the moment, this seat has already ordered Zhang Daoling to lead twenty Earth Demon Star Monarchs to go out to find Your Majesty's hidden cultivation place, I hope you can find Your Majesty as soon as possible......
Shaking his head gently, Taishang Laojun said: "If the Holy Mother has nothing else, this seat will also go to the lower realm, and I have just discovered the hiding place of a group of Western barbarians through the realm of heaven and man, and this seat must send them to the Netherworld as soon as possible, otherwise they should be allowed to escape." ”
"Then I won't disturb Lao Jun's business." Yang Wanyan sighed lightly, since the war between the East and the West began, Heavenly Court was like a fly without a head, caught off guard by the overwhelming Western barbarians.
When Heavenly Court discovered that the Western barbarians had fully invaded the land of Shenzhou, Zhao Qingshan had just been in retreat for more than half a year, and hundreds of immortal gods and more than 20,000 heavenly soldiers and generals had been struggling for four and a half years with the help of the true cultivation of the Yang Realm!
These Western barbarians seem to have figured out the bottom line of Heavenly Court's strength, and they are completely pouring out of the nest, as if they want to completely wipe out Heavenly Court in order to occupy the entire world.
Western barbarian demons generally use the number of wings as a measure of strength, but due to the language barrier, Heavenly Court has not been able to accurately understand the accurate strength of these Western barbarians, and has been led by these Western barbarians.
First, the number of opponents is simply twenty or thirty times that of Heavenly Court, and secondly, there are too many things that Heavenly Court needs to take into account, and it is difficult to exert all their strength at all.
Since the start of the war, the Nantianmen of the Heavenly Court has been urgently hidden, and any true cultivator who once could sense the existence of the Nantianmen as long as he flew into the air has completely lost his trace.
In order to protect Heavenly Court from being discovered by the other party, led by Taishang Laojun, the immortal gods passed the decision to hide Heavenly Court, that is, from that time on, Heavenly Court entered a passive self-preservation situation, except for occasionally sending troops to ambush the opponent's small forces, and would not even break out any large-scale war with the other party.
The strength of Heavenly Court was completely differentiated, forming a situation of small group battles, while the other party relied on the tactics of the sea of people, and did not take Heavenly Court in the eyes of the land of Shenzhou at all, and was swaggering and active in all corners of the land of Shenzhou.
In the face of such a situation, Heavenly Court was also helpless, who made it impossible for them to contact Zhao Qingshan, who was in retreat and cultivating? Many orders could not be issued without Zhao Qingshan's nod, subject to the rules of heaven, and many things that could obviously be used in the war could not be used. …,
What made Taishang Laojun and the others almost vomit blood was that for more than five years, Heavenly Court had found the reincarnations of more than 2,000 immortal Buddhas before and after, and at the same time, a large number of true cultivators with the qualifications of ascending immortals had also emerged in the yang world.
But they couldn't contact Zhao Qingshan...... The god list is in the hands of Zhao Qingshan alone, without the god list, even if you find more immortal Buddha reincarnations, what's the use?
Under the influence of these unfavorable circumstances, Heavenly Court can be said to have been defeated again and again, and thousands of mountain gods, land gods, river gods, and lake gods in the yang world were attacked by the Western barbarians.
From the Taishang Laojun to the low-level immortal soldiers, almost everyone was looking forward to Zhao Qingshan's early exit and leading the Heavenly Court to comprehensively counterattack the increasingly arrogant Western barbarians.
But in fact, a year has passed, Zhao Qingshan has not appeared, two years have passed, Zhao Qingshan has not appeared, and three years have passed...... Five years have passed, and Zhao Qingshan still hasn't appeared!!
The expectation in their hearts turned into deep disappointment, and now Taishang Laojun has to find Zhao Qingshan before this disappointment turns into despair!!
No one knew what kind of progress Zhao Qingshan had made in the five years of retreat, but in fact, Taishang Laojun was not looking forward to Zhao Qingshan coming back at all to pick up the blade and lead the remnants of the Heavenly Court to launch a counterattack against the Western barbarians, what he was looking forward to was just the God List held in Zhao Qingshan's hands!
The god list is the lifesaver of Heavenly Court, and Zhao Qingshan, the Jade Emperor, ...... Seriously, Taishang Laojun didn't think that a few years of retreat and cultivation could make Zhao Qingshan change his original powerlessness, in the face of this kind of war, even he felt a little helpless, let alone Zhao Qingshan, whose mana was greatly damaged?
If it's just a big loss of mana, the worst thing is that Zhao Qingshan's supernatural powers seem to be quite low-level...... Such a Jade Emperor, what can make people think about it all the time, it is estimated that there is only that one god list left, in addition, what else is there to look forward to?
As long as there is a god list, it seems that Zhao Qingshan will not have any impact on this war whether he is there or not?
However, is this really the case? (To be continued)
