The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 175: Huang Long escapes from trouble, Sanbao Ruyi

Oh~!

The dragon vein spirit roared in pain, and the blood evil boiled. The blood evil that had just been expelled suddenly became thicker.

The three men had serious expressions on their faces, realizing that the Taiping Cult had taken action, and they all made frantic efforts.

Above the earth vein space, there are bursts of Sanskrit sounds and thousands of golden lotuses, taking in the evil spirit. The Buddha's light is bright and magnificent, burning the filth.

The Jade Spring Eye expanded, and more spring water gushed out, shining with starlight. It flowed in all directions and merged into a lake, forming a barrier between the blood mist and the sea of blood. The starlight and water light intertwined, which was beautiful and magnificent.

The yellow divine halo behind the head of the central Huangji Huangjiao immortal was dazzling. He took a step into the sea of blood, and the water boiled.

With a point of his finger, Tuyuan Ruyi displayed its great power, helping the dragon vein to resist erosion, and its light flickered.

The Jingming Bell suddenly expanded a thousand feet in size. The body of the bell was simple, with a unique shape, heavy and majestic. Runes were surrounding it, and the "Qingjing Jing" appeared. The words were clear, the sound of Taoism was loud and clear in the space, the sound waves were rippling, and the sea of blood was constantly evaporating.

The scriptures are attached to the dragon veins, covering them with a layer of outer coat, cooperating with the internal wishes and removing filth, while resisting the blood evil and preventing erosion from the outside.

Xuanming raised his hand, and in the central space of the earth veins, the image of the Huangji Huangjiao Immortal also raised his hand. Thunder appeared in his palms and fire burned under his feet.

Five thunders raged, interweaving into a pool of thunder.

The true fire surged and gathered into a sea of fire.

Thunder and true fire are both extremely yang things, and the Dharmakāya is good at controlling the earth's energy and sorting out the earth's veins. When combined, their power is doubled.

The sea of blood evaporated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The blood mist dissipated at an astonishing speed.

The Buddha's light is outside, the Jade Spring is in the middle, and the Dharmakaya is below. The three layers of purification block most of the turbid air from entering, while at the same time exorcising evil spirits and eliminating disasters for the dragon veins. The Xuanming effect is particularly significant, and the dragon veins are slowly recovering their clarity.

Arhat Huineng and the Star Lord of Tianfu could not help but look at Xuanming, and could not help revealing a bit of surprise and admiration. They did not expect that this True Lord Xuanming had such great magical powers. Whether it was scriptures, magic weapons, or true fire and thunder, they were all quite unique. The power of one person was greater than the sum of the two of them.

More importantly, he was able to send the magic weapon into the formation. You know, they could only use the gaps to display their magic power. The two of them also saw the special features of the Dharma statue. It was rich in earth element, and it was obviously an authentic secret technique. Only by relying on this can they carry the treasure in.

These are not comparable to ordinary spiritual practitioners. Xuanming has become mysterious and powerful in the hearts of the two.

“It really is the case that the waves behind push the waves ahead!”

After sighing silently, the two great practitioners withdrew their thoughts and continued to exert their strength.

Xuanming had no idea what Huineng Arhat and Tianfu Star God were thinking. He was focused on purification and as time went by, he unknowingly entered a state of meditation and forgetfulness, oblivious to both himself and the world.

His understanding of the "Classic of Purity and Tranquility" was thorough, and he was able to control the Jingming Bell with ease. He was able to control the Dharma image of the Central Huangji Huangjiao Immortal with twice the result with half the effort, and his perception of the purification law and the way of the earth continued to rise.

Within the earth vein space, the power of purification is advancing by leaps and bounds, the scriptures are more mysterious, the bell sounds are louder, and the Dharma images are more real.

After feeling the strong resistance, the four guardians of the Taiping Sect in the blood sacrifice formation gritted their teeth and operated the formation with all their strength.

The Immortal Flame Bird said angrily: "If I had known this would happen, I should have killed old Xuanming earlier and nipped the threat in the bud. We wouldn't be in this trouble now."

After saying that, she glared at the Eight-Tailed Demon Fox, who rolled her eyes speechlessly, her beautiful face full of charm, and she said with her red lips slightly opened:
"Things are unpredictable. Who could have expected that in just a dozen years, old Xuanming would have achieved what he has today? Instead of complaining, it is better to solve it as soon as possible to avoid more trouble."

Shut up, Immortal Flame Bird. She understood the reason, but she was just speaking out because she was angry.

The eight-tailed demon fox spoke nicely, but in fact she was as furious as the other three guardians.

If it weren't for Xuanming, how could this plan have been so ineffective?
If it weren't for Xuanming, how could the bloody evil energy continue to be weak?
If it weren't for Xuanming, how could the blood sacrifice formation have caused any complications?
But the current situation is critical. The more urgent it is, the more we need to be clear-headed and distinguish the primary from the secondary. We must not put the cart before the horse. The flat-horned green ox took out a jade bottle, removed the seal, opened the bottle cap, and poured the bright red blood into the formation. This was the blood of the blue dragon.

Thousands of years ago, after the fall of the Blue Dragon, the Taiping Sect secretly collected the blood shed by the dragon and has been nourishing it with the dragon's essence and blood and secret methods. Today, the Blue Dragon's blood has been condensed into one drop.

The blood contains the thousand-year-old resentment of the Blue Dragon. It is the backup plan prepared by the Taiping Sect to prevent unexpected situations. It is also their trump card against the dragon veins.

When the blood of the Azure Dragon appeared, the entire blood sacrifice formation shook. The sky darkened for tens of thousands of miles, and blood clouds covered the sky. Then blood rain fell, dyeing the earth red, dyeing the mountains and rivers red, dyeing the villages and towns red.

Wherever the blood fell, the grass withered, the seedlings died, the thatch turned black, living creatures became sick, the solid roof tiles were corroded and white smoke emerged; the clear rivers were polluted and fish and shrimps died tragically.

There are great spiritual masters in the southeast, northwest and southeast of Canglong Mountain who provide protection. In Fengyang County, a great Confucian scholar takes action. When he puts his pen to paper, ink surges and protects the place where it rains in Fengyang County.

Standing on the black plum tree, he looked out at the Canglong Mountain with cold eyes. After the eight-tailed fox retreated, it was not that he had not thought about chasing it, but protecting the county city was more important. After all, this city was the Dragon Suppression Pillar, one of the nodes of the Dragon Suppression Formation.

Since he knew that the Taiping Cult's goal was the dragon vein, he naturally had to be careful to avoid falling into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

The most important thing is that once he had the idea of going to Canglong Mountain, he felt extremely uneasy and alarmed. To be on the safe side, he chose to stay in the county town. Anyway, this place was very close to Canglong Mountain, and was under the care of True Lord Chaoguang and True Lord Xianyue. Once a war broke out, he would be there in an instant and could provide timely assistance, and could attack or defend.

The same goes for the garrisons of Huoyang County and Shuiyang County. While taking action to stop the blood rain, they also pay close attention to the situation in Canglong Mountain, maintain the ability to advance and retreat freely, and be prepared to take action at any time.

It's not that they don't want to destroy the blood sacrifice formation, but the guardians of the Taiping Sect sacrificed the Three Talents Golden Lock Formation Diagram, and received a message ordering them to guard the Dragon-Suppressing Pillar to prevent the worst outcome. Once the formation was lost, they would need to rely on the power of the Dragon-Suppressing Pillar to protect the county.

As for the city of Diyang County, it was temporarily guarded by a great cultivator from the Chongfa Tower, a top-notch sect, who was there to block the bloody rain. The Dragon Suppression Formation, which was under the jurisdiction of Diyang County, had cracked, and needed to be inspected and repaired by Arhat Huineng himself.

Of course, True Lord Chaoguang and True Lord Xianyue were not idle. They were closer to Canglong Mountain, and the blood rain was more powerful, so they took action to protect Fuyun Mountain and the surrounding areas, adding a layer of defense.

Above the Taiyi Jiuku Temples in various places, the Ten Directions Jiuku Tianzun appeared and released his divine light to stop the bloody rain. At the same time, he traveled around Fengyang County, waving his willow branches, spreading sweet rain, nourishing all things, and helping the plants and trees to regain vitality, causing the people to kneel down excitedly and pray devoutly.

Because Xuanming had used the Dharma body of Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun to suppress the Lord of the Underworld when rescuing Huoyang County, some cultivators and common people saw it, and to express their gratitude, they built a Taiyi Jiuku Temple, where Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun also appeared, spreading sweet rain, eliminating the influence of the bloody rain, removing the blood poison and resentment, helping the grass and seedlings to recover vitality, and curing diseases and exorcising evil spirits for all living things.

---

In the earth vein space, feeling the sudden surge of resentment from the dragon vein, Xuanming, Huineng Arhat and Tianfu Star Lord all felt as if their hearts were filled with lead, especially when they saw a blood dragon with a breath quite similar to that of the dragon vein rushing into the dragon vein spirit and they could not stop it at all, their faces became even uglier.

Oh~!

A dragon roar filled with pain and resentment sounded, and the dragon vein that had been half purified was once again entangled in thick blood light. His eyes turned bloodshot, and memories long since erased by the Dragon Suppression Formation revived. The scenes of the killings that year reappeared in his mind. The dragon soul that had merged with the earth veins roared angrily, and his already clear mind was overwhelmed by hatred, and he began to struggle hard.

The peaks of Canglong Mountain cracked and the earth collapsed, as if the end of the world had come. The four guardians of the Taiping Sect were excited and each threw down a golden cone.

In the underground space, the sea of blood, blood mist, blood energy and blood light were all entangled on the four chains, accompanied by four golden cones flying from the outside, plus the erosion of blood evil and the struggle of the dragon soul, a powerful momentum burst out, and a crackling sound was heard, and the four chains broke one after another.

The blood sacrifice formation from the outside world collided with the dragon-suppressing formation, and the two formations were shattered and destroyed together.

Oh~!

With the angry and joyful dragon roar, the dragon vein broke free and tried to rush out of the earth vein space, causing the Canglong Mountain to collapse and the ground to crack.

"town!"

At the critical moment, the central Huangji Huangjiao Immortal's Dharma image fell on the dragon vein that broke free from its restraints and transformed into a yellow dragon. It was like a mountain pressing down, slowing down the dragon vein.

Unfortunately, the combined power of thousand-year-old pent-up resentment, the soul of the Azure Dragon, the blood evil and the power of the earth veins is too great to be suppressed by Dharma alone. The dragon veins rushed out of the earth vein space and continued to climb upwards.

Xuanming became furious, stretched out his hand and pointed with the ruler, and a large starlight appeared on his fingertips.

The Mingxin ruler evolved into the sun and the moon, and the three lights of the sun, moon and stars gathered in the palm of the central Huangji Huangjiao Great Immortal's palm. As he pressed down, the three lights entered the yellow dragon's body, condensed into three gems, and temporarily inlaid on the Tuyuan Ruyi.
