The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 169 Six-syllable Mantra, Peeping into the Dragon Veins (Part )
Boom~!
The demon king self-exploded, shaking the earth and the violent energy swept through the mountains and forests and rushed towards the sky.

The majestic Mingquan Mountain collapsed and shattered into pieces. The spiritual veins were destroyed, all the plants and living things were turned into dust, the earth veins were broken, and a huge pit over a thousand feet deep appeared in its place.

The main vein of Canglong Mountain was also affected. Thousands of miles of mountains collapsed, and a crack appeared at the junction of the branch and the main vein. The Dragon-Suppressing Array appeared for a moment, and although it quickly disappeared, Xuanming's face changed drastically when he saw the hideous cracks appearing on the Dragon-Suppressing Array.

But he had no time to be surprised. He waved his sleeves and released Zhenjun Chaoguang and Zhenjun Xianyue. The three of them joined forces to eliminate the power of the Golden Toad Demon King's self-explosion and tried their best to protect other living beings.

Above the sky, the sun and the jade plate were in the same sky; beneath the earth, the Hunyuan Dao diagram unfolded. Batches of living beings were transferred out, and some earth veins were protected so as not to be completely broken.

At the same time, tens of thousands of miles away, the young man in brocade robe who was fighting had a cold expression, feeling both happy and angry.

The anger was due to the death of the Golden Toad Demon King; the joy was due to the fact that the Golden Toad's sacrifice and decisive self-destruction made up for the shortcomings of the Taiping Sect's plan and achieved the originally expected effect.

But when he thought that this was obtained by sacrificing a Five Spirit Envoy, the young man in brocade robe felt no joy at all, and was left with only anger. He raised his hand and took out a large seal, then rushed towards the white-haired Taoist priest.

If it weren't for this ghost that lingered and kept bothering me, I would have been too busy to check for omissions and fill in the gaps in time, delaying the progress of the Taiping Sect's planning and requiring me to invest more time and energy.

At the same time, Fengyang County City.

Ordinary cultivators fought against the Taiping sect members, each occupying half of the city, and both suffered casualties. The Daxuan side was led by Hai Fengming, while the Taiping sect also had cultivators who had reached the threshold of cultivating the gods to support them, so the two sides were evenly matched.

In the vast sky of nine heavens, the great Confucian sage and the eight-tailed demon fox were fighting fiercely. The earthly energy was endless, and the great righteous energy was surging. The cultivation of the man and the demon was equally good, and both were only one step away from becoming a Yang God, and their strength was also equal.

Although the eight-tailed fox had the help of the Three Talents Golden Lock Formation, the Confucian sage also had the help of the city protection formation and the semi-saint purple hair inherited from his master, so they were evenly matched. Therefore, after a long stalemate, there was still no winner.

However, when the battle reached a critical moment, the eight-tailed demon fox suddenly began to breathe rapidly and its magic power became slightly disordered. Although it quickly adjusted itself, the outcome of a fight between two masters is only a matter of millimeters.

The Confucian sage in ink-and-wash robe had his eyes light up, picked up his brush and drew a picture of a Confucian sage preaching:

The nine-foot-tall Confucian sage was a burly man, wearing a high hat and a wide belt. He held a book in his hand and swung it forward. Wherever he passed, the noble spirit evolved into the spirit of a scholar. The sound of reading in the void was loud, reciting Confucian classics. With his swing, the evil spirit in the sky dissipated, and the world became nothingness. He almost cut off the tail of the demon fox.

Having used the magic of replacing someone else with a dead body to escape the heavy blow, the graceful red-clothed fox demon appeared on the left side of the Confucian sage with a flash of light. Looking at the wooden sculpture in her hand that had turned to ashes, she was relieved but dared not be distracted anymore. She suppressed her fluctuating emotions due to the death of the Golden Toad Demon King. The eight-tailed fox demon cheered up, opened her white hands, released endless red dust threads, and continued to fight with the Confucian sage. The fight was thrilling and dangerous.

In the city of Diyang County, the Buddha's light was shining everywhere, and the demonic energy was rising to the sky. The Buddhist Arhat who was holding the demon-subduing pestle and fighting with the Taiping Sect's guardian Green Bull looked towards Mingquan Mountain with angrily. He didn't expect that the Dragon-Suppressing Formation really had a problem. He saw the Green Bull Demon King stomping his hooves, and the tree world descended in an instant.

Even though the Arhat was unwilling, he was unable to repair the damage. He was unable to take care of himself and was powerless. He hurriedly dodged the fatal blow, chanted the Six-Syllable Mantra, and continued fighting with the Green Ox.

"Om (ong) Mani (nī) Padme Hum (bēi) Me (mēi) Hum (hōng)." ——

On the former site of Mingquan Mountain.

After working for half a day, the three stopped. The matter was settled. After a brief conversation, True Lord Chaoguang and True Lord Xianyue left together.

Xuanming stayed behind temporarily, intending to use the power of Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun's Dharma body to repair the earth's veins as much as possible, sort out the earth's energy, restore some vitality to the wasteland, eliminate disasters and calamities, purify resentment and other evil spirits, so as to avoid careless and careless handling that would leave behind troubles and nourish wronged souls and evil ghosts.

True Lord Chaoguang and True Lord Xianyue had witnessed the power of Taiyi Savior God with their own eyes. While they were envious, they felt inferior to him. They also knew that it would be most appropriate to leave the aftermath to Xuanming, so they divided the work among themselves.

The two of them had to rush back to Fengyang County to continue to preside over the overall situation. Although the crisis in the county city could only be resolved by the court sending Yangshen to repair it, other places in Fengyang County could first put down the war and restore stability.

Summon the dharmakaya of Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, practice the divine way fruit and enter the master's threshold. Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun begins to purify the evil spirit, swinging the willow branches, spreading sweet rain, nourishing the plants, nourishing the land, and clearing the evil air. At the same time, he recites scriptures, mobilizes yin and yang, and refines the souls of the dead. Ordinary ghosts are put into Taiji Heaven to sleep, the souls of those who do evil are put into the pure bottle and imprisoned, and a few ghosts with merits and spiritual light are taken under his command.

After finishing on the ground, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun retreated underground again and used his magical powers to reconnect the earth veins. However, the earth veins of Mingquan Mountain were easy to repair, but the earth veins of the main branch of Canglong Mountain were difficult to repair. After all, the Dragon Suppression Formation was still there, so he couldn't get in at all.

After pondering silently, Xuanming thought of the gap in the formation, and also thought of the scene he saw when he was condensing the golden elixir in the past when he was in harmony with the earth and the unity of man and nature. Now that he has become a True Lord Lianshen, it should be no problem for him to just take a look through the gap.

If it can be repaired, he will use his magical powers from a distance; if it is not feasible, he will leave.

In addition, since the Taiping Sect is likely to come here for the Canglong Mountain vein, and wants to emulate the Great Xuan Taizu who used the dragon's luck to increase his fortune, Xuanming also wants to see what the dragon vein is like now.

Thinking of this, Xuanming closed his eyes and looked carefully for the gap in the formation. Because of his past experience and the fact that he had refined a map of mountains and rivers, although he did not follow the path of earth immortal, he had a deep attainment in this area and was quite experienced in communicating with the earth veins and combing the earth's energy. In addition, his attainments in formation were also not shallow. Therefore, after spending a stick of incense, he finally found the crack.

Considering the power of the Dragon Suppressing Array, Xuan Ming tried to be safe. He did not take the rash approach of directly contacting the gap with his spiritual power. Instead, he communicated with the remaining earth veins of Mingquan Mountain with his spiritual power. With the help of the special connection between the branch veins and the main vein, he operated in reverse, tracing the source, and let his spiritual power rely on the power of the earth veins to slowly penetrate into the gap so that he could get a glimpse of the scene inside.

A huge dragon vein coils beneath the majestic mountain, twisting and turning, revealing the phantom of a yellow dragon. Its scales, dragon whiskers, dragon eyes and dragon horns are all made up of the essence of the earth. Just one glance at it, and an ancient and desolate atmosphere comes to your face.

Different from what he saw in the previous glimpse, the dragon spirit bound by four chains was now less sacred and more violent, and its aura was no longer heavy and gentle, but became gloomy and dark.

The entire dragon vein was shrouded in thick blood energy, and the earth yellow dragon was stained with blood, emitting a strong ominous aura.

Xuanming's face suddenly became solemn. He had a bad feeling in his heart and even had a bold guess in his mind:
Build the plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly!
Perhaps the Taiping Cult besieged the Four County City and wanted to start with the formation. Destroying the Dragon Suppressing Formation was just a superficial appearance. They wanted to divert attention and start a war. Conquering the Four County was just a side effect. The real purpose was... a blood sacrifice!
Sacrifice a large number of lives and collect enough blood to strengthen the dragon vein's strength, while weakening the power of the dragon-suppressing formation. When the time is right, exert force suddenly to allow the dragon vein to break through the formation and escape on its own!
