The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 179: Only Saving the World, Not Saving Suffering (First Update)
Qingzhou City, Tianyuan Divine General’s Mansion.

In the meeting hall of the palace, the ladies of each courtyard gathered here, except for the Shuihua Courtyard.

The ladies have their husbands' previous connections in their hands. If their husbands join the army, the barracks that they originally commanded will be under the command of Li Tiangang, but they will still have their own connections and influence in the barracks.

Now, a thousand-mile command flag from Liangzhou was delivered via secret means.

This is the Eight-Direction Command Flag that is only used when a state is caught in a desperate bloody battle. It can reach thousands of miles away, exceeding the speed of ordinary military reports and letters. It was made by the Imperial Observatory and contains a special magic array.

Whenever the Eight Directions Flags appear, it means that people in one area will suffer, and it also means that the descendants of a divine general will perish!

"Sister-in-law, is this from Tiangang? What's going on in Liangzhou?"

Among all the ladies, Gao Qingqing was the most anxious at the moment. Her eyes were red and she was about to cry.

Twenty years ago, there were also eight orders sent out from the Tianmen Pass. That time, Li Sanlang died and Tianmen Pass was almost lost. She had no choice but to be anxious at this moment.

She was worried that her husband would follow in the footsteps of others.

"Isn't this news from Cangzhou?"

Wang Xiangru frowned. Li Fenghua was guarding Cangzhou now, but since Li Junye cleared all the demons outside Cangzhou more than ten years ago, nothing major had happened in Cangzhou in recent years.

However, demonic invasions are unpredictable and sometimes extremely sudden, with no prior intelligence available.

He Jianlan looked solemn. After reading the message on the flag, she looked at Li Muxiu beside her and said:
"Second Uncle, Tiangang said that Liangzhou is in dire straits. Taixu Realm has entered the world. Longmen and Shenggong have joined forces to participate in this battle, vowing to swallow up Liangzhou."

Hearing her words, Li Muxiu's eyelids twitched.

He immediately realized that the return of Taixu Realm, who had been secluded from the world for thousands of years, was definitely an extremely bad signal.

This seemed to be some kind of omen.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangru breathed a sigh of relief and her expression calmed down.

Gao Qingqing's face turned pale instantly. Li Xuanli was in Liangzhou, serving as the military governor and rushing to the front line. Once Liangzhou was in danger, he would not be able to escape. Even if he died, he would die there in battle!

As a son of the Li family and the descendant of a divine general, how could he abandon the hundreds of millions of people in a big state and become a deserter?

This is the calamity in the Li family’s bloodline!

When we were children and fell in love with each other, I never thought about these things. It was not until I married into the Li family that I deeply understood the sadness and desolation of the Li men.

Gao Qingqing sat on the chair, almost unable to sit still, and her whole body was shaking.

Seeing her appearance, the other ladies were silent.

Once upon a time, they were the same.

At this moment, they all thought of their husbands who died in the war, and their eyes were dim.

"Aren't they afraid of death? Aren't they afraid that the real people will trample them to pieces?"

The third lady Lou Wanqing asked in confusion.

"I'll leave now and go to Liangzhou." Li Muxiu said.

He Jianlan shook her head and immediately said, "Tian Gang sent back a message only to inform us of this matter. He did not ask us to reinforce. In particular, he told you, Second Uncle, to stay in Qingzhou and never go there."

"Why is this?" Gao Qingqing asked in a lost voice.

Li Muxiu was startled, and suddenly thought of something in his mind, and his face changed slightly.

“Tian Gang said that he was worried that the demons would dare to attack in such a large scale. He didn’t intend to guard against his second uncle. It is very likely that in addition to Liangzhou, there are demon kings of Taixu Realm and Longmen hiding outside Qingzhou, or even their sect leaders!”

He Jianlan said in a deep voice: "Once Second Uncle leaves, they may immediately invade Qingzhou and head straight for our God General's Mansion."

Li Muxiu's face was gloomy. He had already realized this.

If we rely on Lao Wu alone, we may not be able to resist. Although the God General's Mansion also has a magic formation, the same is true for Qingzhou. They cannot be attacked in a short time.

But if he traveled at full speed to Liangzhou, it would take two days to go there and back.

After all, he still needed to conserve some strength to rush to Liangzhou to join the battle, and it was impossible for him to teleport at the fastest speed.

"how come……"

Gao Qingqing's face was pale. She thought it was a request for help, but it turned out that Li Tiangang asked his second uncle not to send reinforcements.

"Then what should we do with Liangzhou? Are we just going to watch it be destroyed and wait to die?" she couldn't help but ask.

He Jianlan knew her mood and knew that comforting her was useless at the moment, so she just said calmly:

"Qingqing, don't worry. Tiangang has sent a message to other God General Palaces. The real person from Qiandao Palace must have received it. Wuliangshan is also likely to receive it. Under the command of the Eight Directions Flag, even if there were some estrangements in the past, they should send reinforcements!"

"If they can spare one or two seniors to take action, Liangzhou should be able to stabilize."

Gao Qingqing's trembling heart stabilized a little after hearing this, but she was still cold all over.

"I'll go and message my second and fourth sisters to see if there's a chance they can come over to reinforce us."

Li Muxiu was silent for a moment before speaking.

The two of them were married women, and they had already stepped half a step out of the Divine General's Mansion and had their own husbands and power.

As the direct descendants of the Divine General’s Mansion, there is no weakling. Although they are not at the Four Establishment Realm, they are all at the peak of the Three Immortal Realms.

He felt a little embarrassed to trouble the other party to risk his life in such a dangerous situation, but he had no other choice but to do so.

"Can I write a letter to that Fifth Grandma?" Gao Qingqing suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly.

The fifth grandmother was from the older generation, and Li Muxiu always called her aunt.

But the other party had already retired and lived an ordinary life.

In her early years, she was a famous female general who went into battle and slew countless demons, just like Li Hongzhuang now.

Li Muxiu was silent for a while, then said: "I'll try."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

He Jianlan sighed softly and said nothing.

"I'll go write a letter to my father." said the Ninth Madam Jiang Xianer.

She and Li Junye only had an engagement. After Li Junye died in battle, she voluntarily married into the God General's Mansion holding his armor. Over the years, she has devoted herself to all matters big and small in the God General's Mansion.

He Jianlan glanced at her with a gentle expression, and said, "We are too far away from Dayuzhou. It is too late to send a letter now. If that immortal receives the Eight Directions Order, we will see what he plans to do."

"We have to give it a try after all. Even though the reinforcements are late, if they can arrive, they might be able to play a role."

Jiang Xianer said seriously.

He Jianlan heard this and stopped trying to stop him. …

……

Wuliang Mountain, the Pure Land of Brahma.

In the sacred mountain deep among the peaks, Lin Wujing came to this pure land holding a purple-gold eight-direction flag.

The purple-gold light streaked across the sky, illuminating the Pure Land of Brahma, and was seen by countless people.

"Lord Buddha, this is the Eight Directions Banner from Liangzhou, urgently requesting help!"

Lin Wujing first paid his respects to the Buddha, and then spoke slowly and calmly.

The Infinite Buddha sat on the lotus platform, his expression gentle and compassionate. He gently moved his fingers, and golden patterns seemed to flash in his eyes. After a moment, he said:
"I already know about the disaster in Liangzhou. This disaster also indicates that the karmic fire that my Great Yu Dynasty has suppressed for three thousand years is finally going to erupt."

"Lord Buddha, what do you mean?"

"Slaughter, killing, pleasure, indulgence... greed, anger, and ignorance are all turbid in this prosperous age. Time goes by, cause and effect go round and round, and this calamity cannot be avoided."

The Buddha Wuliang said slowly: "Behind the Liangzhou demon, there is a great evil standing, do not act rashly."

Lin Wujing's expression changed slightly as he realized something.

The Buddha of Infinite Path looked at the other female Bodhisattva beside the lotus seat and said softly, "Miaoshan, take the command flag and go to Liangzhou to quell the monster."

"Yes, Lord Buddha." The female Bodhisattva looked calm and nodded in agreement.

"Remember, the Bodhisattva is merciful and only saves the world, not the suffering."

"The sea of ​​suffering is endless, all caused by one's own sins. Only my true Buddha can save me."

The Buddha said softly.

The female Bodhisattva immediately understood his meaning and nodded.

Saving the world lies in spreading goodness, and relieving suffering lies in stepping into the sea of ​​suffering yourself and helping it along.

The Buddha's words need to be comprehended.

……

……

Rays of purple-gold light flew out from the sky above Liangzhou, and even the Sili Realm would find it difficult to intercept them.

This is the light of the eight-direction command flags. When you see the purple-gold light passing over your head, the flags themselves are actually already thousands of miles away.

And at this moment, in the eastern border of Liangzhou.

With the combined efforts of Madam Yin and many demon kings, the concentrated power exploded, and the impregnable magic formation was finally broken!

At the moment the magic circle was broken, all 50,000 soldiers of the Yuan Camp were shocked and passed out. Some soldiers with lower cultivation base died on the spot with a buzzing head, and only a soul flew out of their bodies.

Li Tiangang's pupils contracted as he looked at the broken golden light of the magic circle and the collapse of countless divine patterns. At this moment, the entire eastern border was truly lost!

Countless demons in the demon tide, seeing the shattered golden light, all let out bloodthirsty and excited roars and rushed forward excitedly.

The pressure on the defense line increased suddenly. Countless arrows and attacks sank into the tide of demons, like a stone sinking into the sea, and were submerged in an instant.

When the entire defense line was under tremendous pressure, in front of Li Tiangang, there were ten demon kings, including Madam Yin and other Taixu Realm demon kings, the old vine demon and the two Longmen demon kings, all with their eyes fixed on Li Tiangang.

"Li Tiangang!!"

Madam Yin's eyes were ferocious and cold, her face was cracked, revealing a hint of her true form. Near the lower edge of the cheekbone, a green eye was open.

"Die to me!!"

She suddenly raised her hand, and a sharp claw of cold wind whizzed past, swelled up in the wind, and turned into thousands of feet, as if it would tear the entire city apart!

Li Tiangang's face changed suddenly. The medicinal power of the pill he had taken before had been released a lot. He swung his sword angrily, but the blade's light was covered by the sharp claws. With a bang, his body flew backwards and hit the ground hard, creating a deep pit.

The fierce impact, despite the resistance of his armor and his own indestructible body, still made him spit out a large mouthful of blood.

"marshal!"

When Yu Xuan and his deputy generals including Li Fu saw this, they shouted anxiously and rushed over.

"Don't worry, they all have to die!"

At this time, the old vine monster and other monster kings also flew into the country and set foot on the airspace of Liangzhou in the eastern border!
Yu Xuan looked up and saw ten demon kings flying in the air, like ten scorching suns shaking the world. At this moment, everyone felt despair.

But he has been fighting with Li Tiangang for many years, and although he is only at the level of heaven and man, he has also experienced many battles.

"Marshal, I'm afraid we can't hold this place anymore!"

Yu Xuan stood up and growled, "Marshal, please retreat first. Let us buy you some time."

After he finished speaking, a violent wave of energy suddenly burst out from his body, which actually ruptured all his major meridians and released his energy crazily.

At the same time, his soul was burning, and his whole body seemed to be torn apart by divine light, bursting out with a soaring momentum.

Li Tiangang's expression, which had always been calm and composed, finally changed at this moment.

"Marshal, leave quickly!"

Nearby, numerous guards from the Law Camp came and formed a formation in front of Li Tiangang.

At the same time, Yu Xuan had burst out with all his strength, like a scorching sun, rushing towards the ten demon kings, trying to block them!
"A mere ant!"

The old vine monster just glanced at him, sneered, and casually swung out a vine whip that was hundreds of feet thick. With a bang, the roaring and shouting figure of Jiaoyang was killed on the spot.

It's like casually slapping a firefly to death.

How can a mere firefly compete with the bright moon?

“Yu Xuan!!”

Li Tiangang's eyes were red with anger, and the magic sword in his hand burst out with a blazing flame.

"marshal!"

Li Fu also stood in front of him and said hurriedly: "We can't defend this place anymore. It's okay for us to die, but you can't die!"

"Calm down, Marshal!"

The other two deputy generals also said hurriedly.

As he spoke, he also stepped forward. Although he knew that his cultivation level was low and he was difficult to stop, as a soldier, how could he retreat?
