Chapter 140: The Five Directions Move in unison
The Five Immortal Sect laid down the Five Spirits Divine Array in Luoshui, and a magnificent pillar of light rose from Luoshui, and the five-colored divine light penetrated the heavens and the earth, which just echoed the golden light emitted by the armillary sphere on Daimei Mountain.
For a while, the name of the Five Immortal Sect spread all over the world, and the Five Spirit Gods would exude the aura of the top Daluo, which made the disciples of the Daomen feel a lot more at ease, and the Five Poison Divine Monarchs have not shown up so far, which has also made the world speculate about what the origin and cultivation of this mysterious existence is?
"Luo Shui and Dai Mei Mountain are horns of each other, it seems that this Five Poisons God Monarch also knows the importance of the armillary sphere, and now everyone is guessing his identity. Now sitting in Luoshui is Qu Yun, the holy daughter of the Five Immortals Sect, who is rumored to be the only disciple of the Five Poison Divine Monarch. Xie Daoyun at the top of Daimei Mountain unfolded a picture scroll and reported to Zhou Cheng the movements of the Five Immortal Sect, which depicted the Five Poison Divine Monarchs wearing a black robe and a mask.
Zhou Cheng looked at the portrait of the Five Poison Divine Monarchs, his eyes fell on the mask, although there was a feeling of déjà vu, but this mask was not distinctive, and Zhou Cheng didn't think much about it.
"The Luoshui defense line will be handed over to the Five Immortal Sect, and when it comes to facing Manjushri, this Five Poison Divine Monarch will definitely make a move, and everything will be clear when the time comes. "The Great Luo Dao Fruit in Zhou Cheng's body has basically been condensed, but he is still grasping every bit of time to cultivate, as for who the Five Poison Divine Monarch is, and what is the origin of it, he is natural.
"Shizun will join forces with the Five Poison Divine Monarchs to fight Manjushri?But the Five Poison Divine Monarchs are only Da Luo Jin Immortal at most, can Shi Zun be sure?" Xie Daoyun asked with some concern, at present, the strongest in the entire Dao Sect is Zhou Cheng, the Dao Monarch who has just entered the Da Luo Golden Immortal, even if the Five Poison Divine Monarch is also in the Da Luo realm, the two of them cannot be Manjushri's opponents at all.
"After the reunion of the flood wilderness, we may have to face the attack of the four continents, as well as many quasi-saints and even the real mixed element saints of the three corpses in one. Manjushri is only a tribulation that must be experienced before the reunification of the Flood, and it is also the first test for those of us. In vain, you must remember that only by moving forward through tribulations can you be free and eternal. Is there any shortcut to enlightenment? It is by no means something that can be achieved by refining the heart of the desolation. Zhou Cheng's temperament became more and more calm, and his thoughts became more and more thorough, purely from his state of mind, even better than Manjushri, who had already achieved the position of quasi-saint.
Even though Manjushri had already entered the holy position, he still wanted to add to his body, and he was bent on refining the heart of the desolation. However, Zhou Cheng was not tempted by this desolate heart, but had a big heart, and still did things to reunite the desolate and re-establish the order of heaven and earth.
"Daojun's mind is enough to make all the saints embarrassed!" Just as Xie Daoyun was about to continue speaking, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the hall, and then a figure that she was also extremely familiar with had already appeared in the hall.
"Dao Yun greets uncle!" Xie Daoyun bowed to the person who came, it was her uncle Xie An, and her name Xie Jiang was completely abandoned, and now she only has one name Xie Daoyun.
Xie An nodded slightly at Xie Daoyun, but he didn't say anything more to this niece, but continued to look at Zhou Cheng and asked, "Does Daojun have a plan?"
"There is only one war, or death, or life. Zhou Cheng's eyes were calm, and his tone was very flat.
In fact, what Zhou Cheng said is right, in the face of a quasi-saint like Manjushri, any conspiracy and trickery are useless, and the only way to fight with him head-on is to win or lose.
If you win the Daomen, you will be able to gain a foothold in the heart of the desolation, and as for the future to face the desolate people, that will be considered later. If defeated, Manjushri will refine the heart of the desolation, and the Dao Sect and the hundreds of millions of living beings in the world will naturally cease to exist.
"Daoist friends think that we will win or lose?" Zhou Cheng asked Xie An seemingly casually.
"When I came, along the Yangtze River upstream, tens of millions of Taoist disciples south of the Yangtze River volunteered to fight, such as today's one heart, even if Manjushri is sanctified, you can also fight, the people's will is the will of heaven, I said that the Daomen will win, Manjushri will be defeated!" Xie An told the story, but from what he saw and heard, he decided that he would definitely be able to defeat Manjushri.
"Yes, the world is in the heart, why not be afraid of hardships .....and dangers? It's really exciting!" Zhou Cheng still said lightly, but there was obvious expectation in his words.
"Leave the Asura Demon King's obsession body to me, even if you can't kill the evil corpse of Manjushri, it shouldn't be a problem to contain him. Xie An finally said what he meant, and at this moment he appeared to consult Zhou Cheng about how to deal with Manjushri.
"Then there is Lao Daoyou. Zhou Cheng nodded at Xie An, and there was a hint of undetectable thought in his eyes.
Xie An has always said that he is the instrument spirit of Lingqi, but Zhou Cheng feels that it will not be so simple, and seeing Xie An again today, Zhou Cheng has some new guesses in his heart.
When Xie An arrived at Daimei Mountain, many famous people who had achieved cultivation also arrived at Daimei Mountain or appeared along the Yangtze River.
For example, Wang Xizhi and his wife of the Wang family, as well as Wang Biaozhi, Wang Tanzhi and others, all came to appear in Daimei Mountain. However, Gu Kaizhi did not come to Daimei Mountain, but appeared in Xiangyang. There are also some other celebrities who have also appeared in various cities along the Yangtze River.
The war is about to start, the Daomen is united to deploy heavy troops everywhere, and the Buddha Gate is not idle, in addition to Fu Jian led a million Buddha soldiers to the area of Huangshui, other Buddhism Arhat Venerable also appeared in large numbers on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Buddhism has been operating in the north for many years, and there are hundreds of thousands of monks in the 480 temples alone, all of whom are full of supernatural powers, and many of them have condensed relics and even attained the status of arhats.
Now, except for Xie Xuan's battle against Fu Jian in Weishui, a lot of battles have begun to break out along the Yangtze River.
The first battle of this decisive battle should be the battle of Luojian not long ago, in that battle, Liu Jiaozhi led 5,000 elite Beifu Taoist soldiers to break 20,000 Buddha soldiers, captured Luojian with 5,000 soldiers, and killed more than 10,000 Buddha soldiers.
Sporadic battles have taken place many times in the area of Huangshui, and both Fu Jian and Xie Xuan are still in the tentative stage, and neither side has fully committed their forces.
Compared with the chaotic battles in other places, the battlefield is more like a real war, where there are not only various formations and magical powers, but also rigorous military formations, and a degree of command to advance and retreat.
With the help of the Beifu soldiers, Xie Xuan also showed his outstanding military talents to the fullest, 80,000 Beifu soldiers and a million Buddha soldiers were on par with each other, although the number was more than ten times less, but they did not fall behind at all.
Along the Yangtze River, Xiangyang, further upstream, is also another main battlefield second only to the Xiangshui Battlefield.
In addition to the 20,000 Eastern Jin Dynasty troops originally stationed in Xiangyang, there are now more than 100,000 cultivators, among whom are the children of families from all over the world, as well as small Taoist forces like Songfeng Temple, and loose cultivators like Zhang Xiaoniu. And what they were facing were Buddhist disciples from the entire seventy-seven monasteries out of the four hundred and eighty monasteries.
There are seventy-seven Buddhist monasteries, and the total number of people is seventy or eighty thousand, among which there are no less than hundreds of Buddhist Venerables who have achieved relics, and there are two Buddhist Arhats sitting in the town. And the high-end combat power of the Daomen here is obviously much inferior, there is not one Daomen elite at the Taiyi Xuan Immortal level, and even there are only a dozen of them in the Yuan Shen Realm.
However, in the battle of Xiangyang, under such a huge disparity in strength of Buddhism and Taoism, because of the appearance of one person, it was difficult for the master of Buddhism to move an inch in Xiangyang.
Gu Kaizhi's poems, calligraphy and painting are three unique, especially painting, which can be called the first master in the world.
When Gu Kaizhi appeared in Xiangyang, he saw him standing at the head of the city, the brush in his palm fell in the air, using heaven and earth as the painting paper and vitality as the ink, and a wonderful landscape painting appeared in the sky above Xiangyang.
Immediately after that, the landscape painting formed by the convergence of vitality suddenly shone brightly, and the next moment a huge mountain range traversed the outside of Xiangyang City, and the original Buddhist people who attacked Xiangyang also appeared directly in the mountain.
The mountain range is an entity, and there is even a dense fog in the mountain, even if the two Arhat-level Buddhist monks and gods can't break through this mountain range, the seventy or eighty thousand Buddhist army is trapped in the landscape painting scroll depicted by Gu Kaizhi.
However, it is not enough to trap these people in the Buddhist sect, Gu Kaizhi still finds some time every day to paint in Xiangyang City, and now all the paintings he has painted have become ferocious beasts, these beasts only exist in myths and legends, there are nine heads of the divine bird Jiufeng, there is an ape-like body, the ferocious and abnormal Zhu Yan.
After these strange beasts were drawn by Gu Kaizhi, they all manifested as entities, and then fell into the mountain range, becoming a headache for Buddhism. Although these strange beasts are not real ancient beasts, they also have some strength, and even after killing, Gu Kaizhi will draw a different picture after recovering for a while.
The changes in Xiangyang naturally attracted the attention of many people, and when Gu Kaizhi stood at the head of Xiangyang City, his clothes fluttering, and he single-handedly blocked tens of thousands of Buddhist disciples, his name also spread the world.
However, whether it is Xiangshui or Xiangyang, it is not a crucial place for this decisive battle, including Xie Xuan and Gu Kaizhi, everyone's eyes are still on Daimei Mountain.
To the north of Daimei Mountain, almost all of the remaining monks in the 480 temples appeared here, and the number of them reached nearly 500,000.
The armillary sphere is still rotating, and Zu Chongzhi's primordial spirit has completely fused with the armillary sphere, his body is sitting in the armillary sphere, and Chu Garlic is protecting him on one side.
The armillary sphere controlled by Zu Chongzhi was completely different, and in just a few days, the chains that extended to the depths of the heart of the desolation had stopped extending, and now the golden light that rose to the sky was constantly impacting the Dao Yun runes that blocked the heavens and the earth.
Under the Lingshan Mountain in Xiniu Hezhou, Dongfang Shuo is still resisting the refining of the entire Lingshan Buddhism, and Zhang Heng's control of the armillary sphere has also spread throughout Xiniu Hezhou.
"Brother Man Qian, there is movement in the armillary sphere, I feel it, the fifth armillary sphere is sending out a summon......." Suddenly, Zhang Heng, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, and said in a trembling tone, his body that had been standing still also trembled slightly, and it could be seen that Zhang Heng was extremely excited at this moment.
"Good..... That's great...... Let's start too!" Dongfang Shuo suddenly got up, and his tone was also excited.
The moment Dongfang Shuo got up, the Lingshan Formation that had been refining them suddenly trembled, and the formation that was presided over by Rulai himself, and the formation blessed by countless Bodhisattva Arhats actually showed signs of instability.
Then a vast pillar of golden light rose from the Spirit Mountain, this golden light was incompatible with the Buddha Light of the Spirit Mountain, directly breaking through all the prohibitions on the Spirit Mountain, breaking through the chaos in an instant, like a golden rainbow bridge laying in one direction.
In the center of Nanzhan Buzhou, Yuding's long sword was still hanging, and suddenly a golden pillar of light rose into the sky, and finally turned into a rainbow bridge that extended into the chaos.
The same scene also happened in Beiju Luzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou, but these two places were first spread out by a mysterious star map, forming an extremely powerful defensive barrier, and then a golden rainbow bridge shot into the chaos.
