Chapter 739 Don’t Look Outside

"Success?"

Xuan Xuanzi, who built the foundation of the fairyland, was not in a very good condition either. The clear energy on his head was dim, a corner of the Nine Heavens Clear Energy Tower collapsed, and wisps of the Nine Heavens Pure Qi dissipated, indicating that his foundation was damaged. Li Xuan, Yuanming and Xuan Chong, who were traveling with him, were slightly better. Although they all looked pale, they were not injured at all and could step forward to help him heal his wounds.

During this time, Yuanming sensed silently, and from a distance he glanced at the slowly pressing hand above him, and said, "I don't know, but I have a feeling that I'm afraid there's no escape this time."

The other three people fell silent after hearing this. They all knew that Yuanming's method of cultivation was "The Wonderful Sutra of the Five Virtues of Heaven and Man", which emphasized gathering the Qi of morality, merit, blessings, holiness, and hidden virtue to protect oneself. In theory, one should become a pure immortal who can withstand all calamities and survive thousands of disasters.

At this moment, he felt that he was doomed, which was essentially the final warning given to him by the technique.

Xuan Xuanzi whispered: "If the three Taoist friends want to leave, now is your last chance."

As he spoke, the Nine Heavens Pure Air Tower slowly rose up, forming a curtain of light in mid-air, blocking the void.

The three of them understood that Xuan Xuanzi meant that he would temporarily support the Supreme Pure and Wonderful Realm, and the three of them would leave through the gap he created.

Li Xuan shook his head and said, "If we leave now, even if we stop the invasion of Junmo, most of Shenzhou will be destroyed, which is not what I want."

Taoist Yuanming chuckled, "I have accumulated merits, accumulated blessings, practiced morality, accumulated hidden virtues, and sought holy virtues. Over the years, the Purple Qi of Good Fortune has been completed, but the Yin De Evil Avoiding Heavenly Clothes has not yet taken shape. I have barely entered the Xuanhuang Merit Pagoda, and I have no idea about the holy virtue and morality treasures. But today I suddenly have some insights."

Xuan Chong already knew what Yuanming Taoist was thinking, and said with a smile, "I wonder what your thoughts are? Is it the same as mine?"

"If you have never entered the world, how can you cultivate virtue? In the final analysis, what you seek outside the mountains is freedom, and what you cultivate in the world are the five virtues."

Xuan Chong Sanren laughed and said, "That's right, that's right. Without the human way, how can we talk about the immortal way? Without the human way, how can we become immortal?"

While Xuan Chong and others were stabilizing the ban again, in the Central Plains, the remaining souls of four of the five scattered people in Baishihe Town were struggling to emerge from the black water.

As they looked at the scene around them, their faces became increasingly miserable.

At that time, the four of them were instigated by the Death Demon's scheme to have evil thoughts and were torn into pieces and eaten by the people of Baishihe Town. Their bodies completely disintegrated, leaving only their residual souls, which sank into the black water under the protection of the Heavenly Venerable's spiritual response.

According to the Death Demon's calculations, with the spread of black water and the completion of the twenty Yin and Yang roads of life and death, the four of them will naturally be swallowed up by the power of the Lord Demon, and the spirit of the Heavenly Venerable will also become a part of the Lord Demon's power.

However, subsequent changes were completely out of line with the Death Demon's plan. First, the thoughts of the Wenxia Gorge lineage impacted the human world, and later, ancestor Haha used the inherited treasure to support Junmo's palm, which eventually led to Zhengyang, Cangxuan, Changpu and Mozhi breaking free from the suppression of the black water and seeing the current scene of the human world.

The four people were clearly on the verge of death, but under the protection of the Heavenly Venerable's spiritual response, they could still see the tragedy of the people in Baishihe Town fighting each other to death, and saw the palm slowly falling from the sky.

Zheng Yang sneered, "How strange! I died because of them, but now that I see them suffer such a fate, I don't feel the slightest bit of joy. Instead, I feel a little sorry for them."

"Because we both know that this is not their fault."

After Mo Zhi finished speaking, Cang Xuan followed up with a sentence: "What else should we do now? Now that the Lord Demon's hand is standing above the Central Plains, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to guide the Daluo Tianguang to ascend. We can only rely on the protection of the Heavenly Venerable Spirit, enter the underworld, and seek opportunities in the next life. But..."

Having said that, Cang Xuan paused. The other practitioners knew that what he had not finished saying was asking them whether they wanted to rescue the residents of Baishihe Town outside.

Acorus, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Although they harmed us, they are also victims after all. If, if we can, why not take them along with us? According to the changes in the world, they may become part of the power that the Monarch Demon will bring down."

"No, you must take it away."

Zhengyang spoke, looking into the void and said, "My fellow Taoists know that I am better at refining instruments and making treasures. It can be seen that this place has been arranged as a cauldron by someone, burning the dead souls inside as energy, supplying the Yin-Yang Road of Life and Death, and guiding the power of the Lord Demon. We were harmed by that villain and our Taoist bodies dissipated, unable to ascend, so we must tear a piece of flesh off from his calculations."

Mo Zhu, who was practicing earth magic, heard this, looked around, and also saw something was wrong, and nodded in agreement. Cang Xuan heard this, and turned into a torrent of clear water, leading the dead souls from all directions. Mo Zhu split the earth, opened up the Yin and Yang path, and the positive Yang soul showed the mysterious fire to refine the residual souls.

Finally, Acorus silently prayed to Shao Siming and Yun Zhongjun whom he had met in the Northern Wilderness in the past, and then he manifested the sword light and cut off the remaining evil spirit in the black water.

And Acorus's prayer just happened to trigger Chu Tai's magical Dharma of cause and effect that had not yet been cut off.

The magical method of forming a bond with the celestial fox, the way of cause and effect of [reversal], and the ability of [Su Nu] to pray for the response body passed her wish to Chu Tai.

Following the cause and effect, Chu Tai saw some changes of yin and yang, life and death gradually fading away under the response of the Heavenly Venerable.

"Oh, right, we can also start with the twenty Yin-Yang roads of life and death!"

Thinking of this, Chu Tai immediately started to sense it and called some colleagues to go and deal with it.

Because of Junmo's power, ordinary fourth-grade celestial beings are simply unable to sense the locations of these yin-yang roads of life and death.

But Chu Tai was different. During the process of his previous manifestation, he had sensed the locations of several roads of life and death, and yin and yang roads.

Although he is blinded by Junmo's power at the moment, relying on the blessing of [Sage], [Diandao], [Taibai] and Donghuang Bell, Chu Tai is confident that he can find him out and defeat him.

"As long as we cut off one of the life and death paths, or the Yin and Yang paths, we should be able to gain some opportunities for Haha Patriarch."

With this idea in mind, Chu Tai's incarnations began to move, and Shan Gui even wanted Master Tianque and others to go and help.

"Daoyou, your mind is in turmoil!"

Tianque looked at the incarnation of the mountain ghost and pointed out the fact that Chutai's heart was already in turmoil.

"You should know that the twenty roads of life and death are just the introduction to the power of the Lord Demon. Since the power of the Lord Demon has appeared, it means that it has already reached the shore and does not need the raft. It is useless for you to cut off the roads of life and death. Instead of seeking external things, it is better to find a way to save yourself."

Master Tianque looked at the hole above with his hands clasped together. Behind him were the six disciples of the path that had been found: Rizhao of the path of heaven, Chidi of the path of asura, Master Ciyun of the path of human, and Baozhu of the path of hungry ghosts.

He looked at Rizhao and said, "After I leave, the four of you need to find Dantu and Ruyi. One of them fell into hell and the other fell into the animal realm. They have suffered greatly in this calamity. It will be more difficult for them to return to the right path in the future. But they are connected to your fate. If you cannot lead them back to the right path, it will be difficult for you to achieve the right result in the future."

"teacher!"

Rizhao and Chidi, who had followed Master Tianque the longest, seemed to sense something and spoke hurriedly, but were pushed away by Master Tianque.

He clasped his hands together, pointed one to the sky and the other to the ground, and chanted the Buddha's name.

In an instant, a Buddha's light rose up, filling the surroundings with brilliant golden light. The next moment, a strange fragrance surged, golden lotus fell, and boundless mist enveloped the floating island.

At the same time, from the many floating islands with Buddhist monks around, the sounds of countless Buddhist chants were heard, making the islands look like sacred mountains in the Buddhist kingdom.

There were also seven colored Buddha flames of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple rising from the floating islands and turning into pillars of light rushing straight up. At the same time, there was a faint Buddha light falling from the sky, as if it was going to penetrate into the human world through the gap in Junmo's palm.

Old Ancestor Haha, who was supporting his palm to prevent it from falling, also felt some Buddha's light gathering on his body, layer upon layer, turning into a halo surrounding his head.

He did not stop it, but digested it quickly. The Buddhist Dharma then emerged above the golden treasure tree behind him. The nine captured Golden Crow decorations also condensed into shape again and soared into the sky. However, this time what appeared was no longer the Golden Crow, but a virtual image of a Buddha.
