I start by accepting Sun Wukong as my disciple and reshape the Journey to the West

Chapter 166 The Unpredictable Tui Bei Tu
The moment the twenty-four ministers pressed their palms against Tang Sanzang, they felt a tremendous suction force, frantically drawing away the nation's fortune from their bodies.

"Gather all your focus, sit cross-legged in meditation, and visualize the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty to calm yourself!"

The corrupted Tang Sanzang knew all too well what this power was.

It is the Mosquito Taoist. In the past, he was able to absorb three petals of the saint's lotus platform with his own power. Today, he can drain all twenty-four ministers dry.

This is absolutely no joke.

That's right, Mosquito Taoist's remaining power still exists, but because Mosquito Taoist is in a state of suspended animation, he cannot be detected by outsiders, nor can they be forced out.

However, the corrupted Tang Sanzang had received instructions from Ye Xuantian that he must work together with the twenty-four ministers to overcome this calamity.

In Ye Xuantian's words at the time: "If he cannot overcome this first difficulty on his own, then he can simply leave behind a puppet."

The corrupted Tang Sanzang knew very well that he was one body with two souls, and had no other choice. Today, he had to do his best to suppress the Mosquito Taoist, protect the twenty-four ministers, and protect the weak, timid, and helpless Tang Sanzang within his body.

"Speed, visualize the territory of the Tang Dynasty or the destiny of the Tang Dynasty, and gather your mind."

Without hesitation, the twenty-four ministers immediately sat cross-legged to calm their minds, and without exception, all twenty-four ministers were visualizing Ye Xuantian!

No one even bothered to contemplate the Jing River Dragon King, who had been completely connected with the fate of the Tang Dynasty and renamed Ao Hui.

hum!
As the twenty-four ministers contemplated, Ye Xuantian's phantom appeared behind each of them. The corrupted Tang Sanzang was completely bewildered.

Do all twenty-four ministers visualize like this? Then what about his visualization of Ao Hui?

As if in response to his thoughts, the dragon shadow of Ao Hui appeared around him, and the dragon shadow surrounded him with punches.

The twenty-four Ye Xuantians shouted in unison, "Suppress him!"

"Yes!"

Without any hesitation, Ao Hui unleashed his dragon might. At that moment, the corrupted Tang Sanzang felt as if his spiritual power had been directly shattered, and he lost consciousness.

In the moment before he lost consciousness, he vaguely heard Ye Xuantian say, "We must not completely eliminate him, otherwise no one will die for him on the bottomless ferry!"

"Yes!" Ao Hui replied respectfully.

At the same time, a cauldron seemingly representing the fate of the nation appeared, completely covering Tang Sanzang's figure.

The twenty-four Ye Xuantians merged into one, looking towards the ground, their eyes seemingly able to see through the thick ground above.

At this moment, the figures of the three demon kings, Mara, Brahma, and Shiva, had completely closed in.

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng stood at the core of the formation, looking at the Heavenly Net Formation that had appeared due to the appearance of the three demon kings, their faces showing a bit of bitterness.

The two men believed that the Heavenly Net and Earthly Net they had comprehended when the fate of the nation confronted Guanyin Bodhisattva that day could help the twenty-four ministers overcome the first hurdle, so they volunteered without hesitation.

But now, facing the three demon kings, they realized how wrong they had been, and their true power as immortals and mortals was on full display.

Yuan Tiangang glanced at Li Chunfeng: "Brother Li, I'm afraid the two of us won't be able to return alive today. Are you interested in fighting to the death with me?"

Yuan Tiangang's smile remained bright and cheerful. Even though the silver threads were constantly breaking apart and his clothes were gradually turning into dust under the pressure, the light hidden in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Li Chunfeng: "Brother Yuan, that's exactly what I was thinking too!"

"Good!" The moment Yuan Tiangang received the response, he flung the whisk in his hand at Tian Bo Xun, and strands of silver threads transformed into sharp arrows, a rain of arrows concealing endless killing intent.

Yuan Tiangang followed closely behind, his hands forming a sword incantation, his fingers gathering thousands of silver threads formed by an array, with Daoist energy flowing around them.

"Arrow Through the Eyes"—all the silver threads on Yuan Tiangang's sword technique flew out, aiming straight for Tian Boxun's brow.

At the same time, his eyes lost their whites and turned completely black, as did his body, which eventually transformed into a black arrowhead, hidden in the rain of arrows.

"Hahaha, Mara, he looks down on you!" The youthful-looking Brahma laughed heartily.

Since the three of them appeared simultaneously, there was no particular order of precedence. Therefore, whoever Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng attacked first was naturally considered the weakest in their eyes. Tian Bo Xun looked at the rain of arrows falling from the sky, but showed no contempt.

"Human, how dare you use the power of time to foresee my future! Do you know who I am?" Tianbo Xun sensed the power of time in the rain of arrows, which made him even more furious.

Among the four demon kings, He is the most skilled in the power of time and space, and Yuan Tiangang's actions were practically jumping around in His domain.

With a wave of his hand, Tianbo Xun created a crack in front of the rain of arrows. The moment the arrows touched the crack, they began to decay and age, eventually turning into dust.

The power of time—flow!
Just as the arrow that Yuan Tiangang had transformed into was about to fall into it, Yuan Tiangang's voice rang out once again: "The vast天地 (heaven and earth) have no end, the sun and moon cycle endlessly."

hum!
A rich aura of time emanated from the arrowhead, carrying an aura of primordial chaos.

The moment the primordial aura appeared, all the arrows stopped at the crack, but Tian Bo Xun behind the crack suddenly felt a warning and took three steps back.

The space where they retreated three steps began to collapse, and an aura of decay and withering began to brew from within, with a putrid smell emanating from it.

"My physical body cannot resist this power of time," the old man said in a deep voice.

"Shiva, he is just a mortal, how could he possibly have the power to corrupt your war god body?" The ears of the youthful-faced Brahma stopped flickering his tongue, and then a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

Because He confirmed one thing: Shiva was not lying, and even He could not withstand this force of past time.

"Fortunately, he chose Mara." Shiva said in a deep voice. Mara reacted quickly, and Yuan Tiangang's power only arrived when Mara had retreated to a safe distance.

Brahma remained silent, clearly acknowledging the matter. Both He and Shiva were slow to realize the truth; if they were to engage in direct combat, they would certainly be severely injured, if not killed.

"What a pity," Yuan Tiangang revealed himself. At this moment, he still had no whites in his eyes, but his dark eyes were even more dazzling because his hair and eyebrows had all turned snow-white, making the black even more eye-catching.

Yuan Tiangang said loudly:

From Pangu to Xiyi, the struggle between tigers and dragons has been a truly wondrous affair.

Having grasped the true meaning of cycles, let us try to discuss the fundamental principles after the Tang Dynasty.

As Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, a Tai Chi diagram appeared on the ground, and a breeze arose.

"The wind rises, revealing the future!" Li Chunfeng shouted loudly, thrusting his longsword forward. His figure vanished from the spot, reappearing in front of Tian Boxun, his longsword aimed straight for Tian Boxun's neck.

hum!
Tianbo Xun moved very fast, striking the longsword with one hand.

"So close yet so far!" Tian Bo Xun shouted, and the long sword continued to advance, but always kept half a meter away from Tian Bo Xun.

Li Chunfeng's hair began to turn white rapidly. Not only that, his skin was weathering, and soon it became as withered as tree bark. His eyes no longer had pupils, only whites.

With his chapped lips barely touching, Li Chunfeng finally shouted: "Abundant fruits, countless in number, each fruit and its kernel, both new and old."

puff!
Li Chunfeng spat out a mouthful of blood, the blood-red characters evolving as his lips touched them repeatedly: All things grow from the earth, the second and ninth bring forth the fruit, unifying the Central Plains... Mmm...

Li Chunfeng's eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth began to fall out, yet he could not utter a single word for a long time.

Underground, Ye Xuantian's eyes narrowed slightly. Others might not know what the two were saying, but he knew that what they were reciting was the widely circulated Tui Bei Tu.

As for why Li Chunfeng couldn't say the line, "When Yin prevails, Yang is exhausted," it's naturally because Li Shimin's fate has already changed.

The fate of the Tang Dynasty had already changed.

"It seems your future plans cannot be realized! In that case, I will send you to the Western Paradise to serve my lord!" Having witnessed Yuan Tiangang's methods, Tianbo Xun naturally wanted to see what kind of magic Li Chunfeng possessed.

Seeing that Li Chunfeng's energy was dissipating and he could no longer exert his power, he lost interest and immediately struck down with his palm, intending to end Li Chunfeng's life.

Just then, the sound of reciting poetry suddenly arose: "I wish to dream of Wu and Yue, and fly across the moonlit Mirror Lake in one night!"
