Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 883 Preparing for War
The Sea Monk King was unwilling to let his enemy escape like this, so he frantically activated his vow power to release the secret technique of traveling ten thousand miles. In his view, the enemy should be exhausted and that as long as he could catch up, he would surely be able to capture him.

As the pursuit continued, he only saw the five-colored light gradually recede into the distance, eventually disappearing from sight.

As the monk king stopped his pursuit, he took a deep breath to dispel his anger.

A moment later, another late-stage Samsara Realm monk, Shi Xiufa Lan, caught up. He saw that only Ru Hai was standing in the void, and realized that this pursuit was fruitless.

He flew forward, suppressing his frustration, and whispered:
"Senior brother, do you have any idea where the enemy is from?"

His flight to the finish line had no effect whatsoever, leaving him feeling ashamed yet utterly helpless.

In some ways, the enemy maintained a firm grip on the battle rhythm throughout, not only destroying the flying boat and some disciples, but also toying with him and Ru Hai.

The sea's rage gradually dissipates; only the incompetent are swayed by anger.

He took another deep breath, and after calming himself completely, he said in a deep voice:
"You have heard who the enemy is. The Pure Moon Monk King mentioned that he fought against a Nascent Soul cultivator about eighty or ninety years ago."

The other party was one of the two who killed the monk King Kongwen, and they even showed us images of the enemy.

At the time, the Pure Moon Monk King believed the enemy was cultivators from sects in the Central Continent, but now it seems that may not be the case.

He became increasingly certain that the enemy was a reincarnated Nascent Soul cultivator, because the Pure Moon Monk King said that the opponent was only at the sixth level of Nascent Soul cultivation when they fought back then.

To break through three minor realms in less than a hundred years is something that only cultivators with prior cultivation experience could achieve.

The Pure Moon Monk King once said that the target had cultivated the Immovable King Technique, but could not be influenced by Buddhism.

Today's battle made the monk king see clearly that the enemy did not possess the aura of the Immovable King, and therefore could not be converted to Buddhism under the influence of the Dharma.

It is unknown what method the enemy used to evade the trap hidden in the technique.

Falan recalled his conversation with the Venerable Jingyue, and his brows furrowed:
"The enemy's speed in flight was extremely fast, and his body could even transform into five-colored light. I don't know what kind of supernatural power this was."

I think we should inform the Venerable Jingyue so that we can join forces to annihilate the enemy.

The enemy is too fast. If we have a lot of hit-and-run tactics, I don't know how much damage it will cause.

They came to seize the Western Continent. With such an enemy lurking in the shadows, even if we take over this territory, we will still have to live in constant fear.

"The Pure Moon Monk King has gone to the territory of the demon beasts and should be able to return in a few days. Let's go to our destination to rest first."

The most important thing right now is to figure out if this enemy is a cultivator from a sect in the Western Continent. If they are, then the attack on the Western Continent will have to be reconsidered.

As the Sea Monk King narrowed his eyes, he felt that things were getting out of control, which made him quite uncomfortable.

With such an enemy lurking around, there aren't many ways to deal with it.

If the encirclement and suppression cannot be successful, then the temple must be built into a Buddhist formation, but that would be like being imprisoned.

He summoned a beam of Buddha light and said:
"Let's go, hurry back."

Two golden beams flew side by side, heading back the way they came.

Ji An watched all this from afar, gently shaking his head. If his magical power and divine sense were sufficient, he would like to launch a counterattack against the Buddhist cultivators who remained on the flying boat.

The area is bound to be poorly defended, and with the speed advantage of his golden light, he can easily slaughter low-level cultivators like a tiger among sheep.

The two Sangharajas, Hai and Falan, returned to the place where the flying boat was attacked and landed. They found that the only wreckage left was the front half of the flying boat, and the remaining five flying boats were gathered together.

A high-ranking monk approached and softly chanted the Buddha's name:

"Amitabha Buddha, have the two Sangha Kings gained anything?"

The Venerable King of Faram waved his hand gently, responding with a hint of shame:

"The enemy is like a cunning rat; he is too fast for the two of us to catch up with, and he has escaped."

We plan to move to the vicinity of our target sect first, and then wait for news from the Pure Moon Monk King.

As the monk king of the sea explained:
"The enemy is a Nascent Soul Ninth Level cultivator, equivalent to a Buddha disciple in the late Reincarnation Realm who is close to perfection, and is the kind of cultivator who has experienced reincarnation."

The enemy is very strong, so we need to be on high alert. As long as we don't fall victim to a successful surprise attack, everyone's safety should be guaranteed.

All cultivators at the Samsara Realm can activate Buddha Light, and the Buddha Light is fused together. It can be said that within the Buddhist cultivation group, the more Buddha disciples at the Samsara Realm level there are, the stronger they become.

However, this fusion is somewhat diminished, and the Buddha's light is more inclined towards defense.

Other beings enveloped in Buddha's light will develop a desire to take refuge, but it will have no effect on enemies at the Nascent Soul level unless their Dharma form is shattered.

Falan nodded in agreement. As long as cultivators in the Reincarnation Realm are prepared and have time to form a Buddha Light Array, they are not afraid of being attacked by powerful figures. However, it is difficult to protect the lives of those low-level monks.

When they decided to implement a strategy of prioritizing the occupation of continents such as the South and West, they did not expect to face an enemy as powerful as they are today.

Based on their thinking and the intelligence they had, they believed that only sects in the Central Continent could cultivate such powerful cultivators.

He coughed lightly and asked:

"Besides the destruction of the airship, what are our casualties?"

"Three guardian Vajra at the Reincarnation Realm level have perished, along with over three hundred low-level monks," the Venerable Monk King transmitted telepathically.
"The morale was somewhat low. The five monk kings who were flying on the last flying boat joined forces to fight the enemy, but they were actually suppressed by the Dharma form of one of the enemy's men."

The enemy's lightning magic was powerful, and because the monk king's cultivation was relatively low, his mind was impacted, causing bleeding from his ear canals and affecting his hearing. He needed to rest for a few days.

During this period, you must not suffer similar injuries again, otherwise your ear canals may be shattered.

The enemy's lightning magic was powerful, and the low-level monks who survived on the flying boat were now like frightened birds.

If the Sea Monk King had killed the enemy, that would have been fine, but now the enemy has managed to escape the combined pursuit of the two most powerful monk kings, and their morale is low.

As the monk king of the sea took in the expressions of the monks, he said:
"We announced to the outside world that the enemy was a cultivator who had gone through four reincarnations, but he was beaten so badly by this old monk and the Dharma King that he fled in terror. If he hadn't used up his life essence to escape, he would have surely died."

King Shanjue clasped his hands together and said, "Follow the decree of the law."

As the Sea Monk King further instructed:

"We will not continue our journey tonight. We will form a battle array and rest. This old monk will personally protect everyone."

Shanjue smiled gently, "Now the disciples will feel much more at ease."

He turned and flew into the air, using the Lion's Roar technique to inform all the monks of the news.

As the monk king looked at Falan beside him, he transmitted his voice:
“Junior brother, you should quietly return to Nanzhou and inform the monk Kongjian of the news. Tell him that if the monk Jingyue returns, he should come to the south side of the Jinling Sect’s mountain gate to find us immediately.”

Ji An took a roundabout route and returned to the sect at dawn the following day.

He flew to the Wuji Palace on a cloud and said to his disciples:

"Notify the other True Lords to come to Chaoyang Peak immediately."

"Yes, sir," Lin Lan replied and quickly walked out of the main hall. She took out three golden communication swords, entered the information, and activated them. The golden light was like lightning, and they disappeared from sight in a few breaths.

The new type of golden sword for communication has become widespread among cultivators at the Golden Core level and above, greatly improving the efficiency of information transmission.

She returned to the main hall and asked expectantly:

"Master, you encountered Shi Xiu, didn't you? How did the battle go?"

Ji An gave him a confident look and smiled:

"The Southern Continent Earthly Fiend Sect's mountain gate was destroyed, and a large number of Buddhist cultivators were stationed there. Later, a large number of Buddhist cultivators took flying boats and rushed straight to the Western Continent. I seized the opportunity to attack them."

But the enemy wasn't strong for me. I destroyed an airship and killed several hundred monks, and also gathered detailed information about the enemy.
I judged that the enemy's target was definitely us, and what we needed to do next was to defend our position and respond to their attacks as they came.

His battles with the enemy gave him confidence; the only difference between him and the strongest enemy was his insufficient total mana.

He was secretly alarmed that his enemy had been able to withstand his prolonged attacks, making him realize that his strength was not yet truly top-notch.

He had no idea that he was encountering an ancient monster who had reincarnated several times; otherwise, he would have been more confident.

Lin Lan listened to her master's achievements with great excitement. To achieve such results against so many Nascent Soul level cultivators, the sect was truly invincible!

About half an hour later, Li Haoran and the others arrived at the Wuji Hall one after another.

After everyone had arrived, Ji An recounted Shi Xiu's situation and then said:
"We're the next target. Get ready for battle."

Li Haoran's eyes gleamed, as if sword light were flickering within them:
"Ready for battle, I must test the sword's sharpness!"

Perhaps knowing he could have a good fight, he felt a new sword intent sprouting in the last two days.

This was excellent news for him. For sword cultivators, the deeper their understanding of sword intent, the more powerful they become, and this improvement is immediate.

In addition, the power of sword intent can also help improve one's cultivation. If he can comprehend the fourth level of sword intent, the speed at which he refines spiritual energy and absorbs spiritual energy can be increased by more than two times.

He felt that as long as he could withstand this baptism, he would have a high chance of comprehending the fourth level of sword intent, and his cultivation would definitely advance by leaps and bounds.

Ji An clapped his hands and laughed loudly, saying:

"Good! Junior brother's fighting spirit is burning bright. That person is your whetstone!"

He could sense the opponent's high fighting spirit and the flow of sword intent, and felt that the attack of the Buddhist monks might turn out to be a great thing.

He took out a blank jade slip, recorded the images of the two Buddhist monks who were chasing him, and used his telekinesis to send the jade slip out.

"There are two late-stage Nascent Soul level enemies inside. As long as we don't encounter them, I expect my junior brother will be able to have a thoroughly enjoyable battle."

However, the Buddhist cultivators possess a secret technique called the Lesser Formless Skill, which might alter their appearance. Junior Brother, it's best to be careful.

As long as Fang doesn't stray too far from the sect, a fair fight is always a good option, and he can always escape back to the sect. The real danger is when the enemy plays dirty tricks and catches him off guard.

Li Haoran caught the jade slip, used his divine sense to identify the enemy's appearance and memorized it, and then gave the jade slip to Qin Yan.

"Don't worry, senior brother. My Sword Heart Clarity has reached an extremely high level. If there is any danger, I will receive a warning from the unseen."
