The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 197 Commanding the Gods to Slay Demons
Shi Xuanxing sat quietly.

A toad was perched on his head, croaking incessantly.

Behind him were six thousand Taishan Guards. The other few dozen were weaker and served as the daily cleaning servants of Taishan Prefecture. In the cave opposite, the great demon who occupied this mountain range twitched his eye.

The guards of Mount Tai sat there for a full fifty days. During those fifty days, day and night, regardless of wind, rain, lightning, or thunder, they sat there quietly and motionless.

It's like a stone.

No, these guys are rocks to begin with!
At first, the monsters here just watched for fun, thinking, "As expected of the stone heads, sitting here like a bunch of idiots." But slowly, they sensed that something was wrong.

Every living creature in the world has its strengths and weaknesses.

The mountain spirits and stone monsters are not very quick-witted, and their comprehension is generally poor. If they were to learn those complicated magic arrays, mystical altars, or even the exquisite sword techniques of human wandering knights, they would most likely just get confused.

However, everything corresponds to yin and yang; if there is a weakness in one area, there must be a strength in another.

Their composure is unparalleled.

Before they developed spiritual abilities, they stayed on the mountain, watching the sunrise and sunset. The military training methods were a complete comfort zone for them, but their minds were too dull to learn the military techniques.

However, Zhou Yan combined the power of the beacon towers with the earth's veins to create talismans.

These guys sit here, sensing the pulse of the earth, which is actually a form of cultivation. Gradually, the frequency of their vital energy circulation begins to unconsciously converge and merge, and their bodies become aligned with the pulse of the earth.

Thus, the six thousand Taishan Guards, in accordance with the military strategy of the human race, [accumulated strength].

Continuous practice.

To be honest, their aptitude and personality are not suitable for cultivation. Ordinary military strategists can gather their strength for half an hour and then charge in, but these guys took a full ten days to finally find their footing.

On the twentieth day, the monster emerged from its cave.

It's like seeing a mountain.

Throughout the entire area of ​​Mount Tai, all the monsters that intended to rebel were terrified. From afar, with Mount Tai as the core, six thousand Mount Tai Guards sat cross-legged on the ground. They were not made of flesh and blood and did not breathe.

However, it was the beacon fire technique passed down by Zhou Yan that he learned.

So they forcibly simulated breathing by using the flow of vital energy.

The earth's throbbing replaces the heartbeat.

Thus, the six thousand Taishan Guards breathed in perfect unison, their breaths flowing with the energy, transforming into the wind blowing down from the mountains. Their heartbeats were the earth's veins, and heavy swords lay upside down in the ground beside them.

The knife enters the earth as if it were sheathed, and his eyes are closed.

That terrifying sense of oppression had taken shape by the twentieth day. Sensing the energy and momentum, from a distance, it looked like a mountain, and this mountain was still increasing in strength as it accumulated power!
Even the most knowledgeable monsters were terrified.

Grandpas!
What do you want to do!
If you want to kill or torture, then hurry up and do it! Damn it, a mortal swordsman can gather his sword momentum for a while and unleash a terrifying strike. So, six thousand Taishan Guards have been gathering their momentum for fifty days. Who do they want to kill?!

Normally, no living being could tolerate such a buildup of power, but Stone Head's patience was truly remarkable, and Stone Star conveyed a concept to them with unwavering determination.

Every move Your Excellency makes has a deeper meaning!
They definitely haven't forgotten us!
So let's wait!

boom! ! !
At the summit of Mount Tai, a purple aura suddenly soared up, far more magnificent than ever before, reaching the sky. The clouds dispersed, and the clouds and starlight were faintly transformed into a mirror-like expanse of water, within which the image of Louguan Tao appeared.

Two thousand four hundred altars, where the True Man performs rituals.

The Earth God, whose beard flew wildly, murmured, "It is the Taoist Zhou Tian Grand Ritual pointing to the Lord of the Prefecture, which is only one level lower than the Universal Grand Ritual that worships all the stars and the three thousand six hundred altars."

"This is……"

buzzing-

Two thousand four hundred beams of light from the Xuan Altar descended from the sky and landed directly on the six thousand Taishan Guards. The next moment, the earth veins of Taishan, the Xuan Altar method, and the Supreme Tower Dao all converged at a certain level to form a node.

The cost was enormous, and Taishanwei had to be moved in a short time!

In the Louguan Taoist ritual, the power of the Taoist Grand Ceremony was greatly depleted. Zhou Yan realized that this was a large-scale teleportation technique initiated by the authority of the Lord of Mount Tai, and then using the surrounding primordial energy drawn from 2,400 altars as a means of consumption.

When that mountain spider, whose foundation was comparable to the one at the Reclining Buddha Temple, soared into the air and was about to completely kill those Taoists, the pure energy soared into the sky. The powerful effect of the grand ritual was so great that even the mountain spider was briefly thrown into the air and was unable to attack.

boom! ! !
The mountain spider's hind legs were deeply embedded in the mountain rock, causing numerous cracks to appear and spread across the mountainside. The mountain spider's eyes turned a deep red, causing Xiweizi, Xuanzhuzi, and others to change their expressions. Shen Cangming was about to make a move, but his senses and intuition as a top-tier warrior made him pause.

This is--

The mountain spider raised its forelegs high, like a giant scythe about to slash and smash down.

But they were stopped by a long-handled battle axe.

Clad in the armor of a righteous god, Shi Xuanxing gripped the battle axe treasured by the Duke of Taishan with both hands, desperately blocking the mountain spider. He suddenly roared, and the fighting spirit and beacon fire accumulated over fifty days surged forth.

The mountain spider let out a shrill scream and hiss, and retreated.

The battle axe swept across, tearing away the dust and shockwaves stirred up by the mountain spider. The Taoist disciples then saw that the tall and burly warrior had already learned of the situation from the Grand Ceremony and the Mountain God's authority while the Grand Ceremony was being moved.

With a solemn and authoritative voice, he declared, "Under the command of the Lord of Mount Tai, urgently seize General Shi Xuanxing—"

"Leading six thousand Taishan Guards."

As the smoke and dust dissipated, Taishan Guards appeared, sitting cross-legged on the massive platform of the Taoist Grand Ceremony. They opened their eyes in perfect unison, and in an instant, the accumulated murderous aura and military might surged forth.

They stood up, in unison.

He reached out and grabbed the weapon that was stuck upside down in the ground.

Then take half a step forward.

With a synchronized strike, the flames of the beacon fire erupted instantly, transforming into a massive blade mark that slammed heavily into the mountain spider. Even without the Buddhist karma and the method of ascension, the mountain spider, which had caused great trouble for everyone during the Battle of the Reclining Buddha Temple, shattered under this attack that had been building up for fifty days.

With a mournful cry, it crashed down onto the mountainside behind it. Its spider legs struggled to grab onto the rocks, but failed. It fell with a deafening crash, producing a sound like a mountain roar. Even after falling, the legs of this enormous spider beast stretched out, sending plumes of dust and smoke billowing into the sky.

Six thousand Taishan Guards stood in perfect unison, sheathing their weapons and pressing them against the ground.

With his left hand pressed against his waist, a fierce and murderous aura spread out!
Shi Xuanxing looked at the young Taoist priest and said:

"I came in response to the call."

Taishan Guard is under the command of the Lord of Mount Tai, the Eastern Peak.

Join the battle!

The old Taoist priest Xiweizi was filled with turbulent emotions, and he looked at Zhou Yan with a strange gaze.

Generally speaking, if you can summon a few guardian deities by opening a shrine, you are considered to have good Taoist cultivation. But my grandmaster brought over a full six thousand of them in one go.

Wholesale?!

Is there another upright Taishan god?
Grandmaster Uncle, are you sure you're not hiding your identity?

Zhou Yan looked at the earth's veins and sensed the surging spiders of all sizes emerging from them. Without hesitation, he took out a jade talisman, placed it on the altar, and said:

"Quickly seize General Shi Xuanxing. I am an envoy under the Lord of the Prefecture. Today, a grand ritual is being held, and I order you to lead five thousand Taishan Guards into the earth's veins."

"Drive that monster out of the earth!" Shi Xuanxing sighed inwardly, finally achieving official promotion!

Two thousand four hundred altars for worship, is this what they call the treatment of a true god?!

It wasn't in vain that he, along with the Earth God and General Flying Eagle, gave these six thousand Taishan Guards a good workout. At least they looked impressive. He could also sense that the Weaver Girl was currently absorbing the earth's energy within the ley lines and gradually becoming more ferocious.

His expression turned serious, and he cupped his hands in response, saying, "Yes!"

"Receive the imperial edict."

Shi Xuanxing can go into the ley lines and drive the Weaver Girl out of hiding. This will cut off the Weaver Girl's ultimate goal, but it will also cause the Weaver Girl to appear directly from the ley lines. At that time, it will be a fight to the death.

Shi Xuanxing's journey was solely for the purpose of cutting off the enemy; once cut off, it would be a head-on confrontation.

The Taoist lineage has a weak physical body, but its altar output is very strong.

When the Daoist thunderbolts strike, the Weaver Girl will definitely try every means to break through the Louguan Daoist gate. It can be said that if the Peacock hadn't told the Weaver Girl about the situation here yesterday, the spider's attack on the mountain would not have happened until now.

There needs to be a protector.

Zhou Yan's gaze swept around, finally settling on Shen Cangming, who was holding a war bow. He exhaled, and the young Taoist pointed a finger at a jade talisman, causing it to float in mid-air.

The patterns are engraved on it using the ritual of a grand sacrificial ceremony and in the name of Mount Tai.

This represents the command authority of one thousand Taishan Guards for a short period of time.

Zhou Yan instinctively wanted to call out "Uncle Shen," but in this situation, as the presiding master of this grand ceremony, he couldn't be disrespectful in front of everyone. So he paused and said:
"Xingxiuchuan, Shen Cangming!"

Shen Cangming raised his eyes and saw the young Taoist sweep his sleeve over there.

The divine jade talisman flew over.

"In the name of the Grand Ritual of Zhou Tian, ​​I hereby temporarily appoint you as—"

"Marshal Protector of the Mysterious Altar of Mount Tai, the Eastern Peak".

"I hereby command you to lead a thousand Mount Tai guards to protect the Xuan Altar and slay demons and monsters!"

Shen Cangming did not hesitate.

Grasp this divine jade talisman, and within the range of the Grand Ceremony, the power of the talisman spreads out, and Shen Cangming's mountain-patterned armor once again shimmers with light, faintly transforming into a battle robe, which represents the divine position within the range of the Grand Ceremony.

It belongs to the form of a god or human.

Shen Cangming clenched his fist, his terrifying aura combining with the status of a guardian deity.

"it is good."

Zhou Yan knew that he could always trust Shen Cangming.

This single word signifies that as long as Shen Cangming lives, this place will not fall.

Now, the grand ceremony has begun, and the power of Mount Tai has arrived.

Now it's up to you, Hippie...

Zhou Yan looked at the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest swept his whisk, nodded slightly, and Taoist magic flowed around his body, turning into thunder. Shi Xuanxing had already issued a decree, and five thousand Taishan Guards jumped down from the mountain in unison.

By invoking the authority of the God of Mount Tai!

Before Shi Xuanxing, the edict of the mountain god of the Taishan lineage shone with a flowing light.

They burrowed directly underground.

Shen Cangming led a thousand Taishan Guards into the battlefield to serve as protectors.

Zhou Yan's breathing was slightly tired. The old Taoist priest over there had already opened the altar again. The pure air in the sky guided the purple air. Before these two auras could dissipate, they transformed into heavy thunderclouds that pressed down.

boom! ! !
Thunder roared and scattered, making Zhou Yan feel a tingling sensation in his head. He looked up and saw the violent energy of the thunderclouds in the sky. He circulated his magic power and opened his eyes. Zhou Yan was stunned. He actually saw the process of the magic power in the sky and the power of heaven and earth converging.

The entire spellcasting logic of the Thunder Mage unfolded before his eyes, without any concealment.

The Great God of Kunlun, with nine enlightened eyes.

Break through the law and break through delusion!

In theory, Zhou Yan could use divine weapons to sever the nodes of magic, forcefully breaking through supernatural powers and spells. He could also learn and imitate, using his own magical power to imitate the old Taoist's moves and learn thunder magic.

Zhou Yan stared intently at the thunderclouds in the sky, his right hand clenched into a fist.

Changes in one's own magical power.

Crack!

In his palm, a ball of lightning surged and then extinguished.

He directly entered the Daoist sect's superior supernatural power of thunder magic.

The Taoist priest next to him was startled at first.

Hand-crafted lightning magic?!
However, after thinking about it, he was, after all, the grandmaster uncle of the number one Taoist sect in the world.

They have already summoned a full six thousand divine generals.

Hand-crafted lightning spells and such.

Normal, normal.

At this moment, the True King of Zhenyin of Tianmen Mountain had a solemn look in his eyes, and the True Lord of Lushan and the Sichen of Emei Mountain were also speechless. Looking at the Yin Qi rising into the sky under the layers of dark clouds and the purple Qi falling down, he slowly said, "...Lord of Taishan."

Leaving aside the Lord of Mount Tai, the God of Mount Tai is the Eastern Peak.

At this moment, it descended directly and domineeringly from the sky.

In a sense, it was a direct slap in the face to the True Lord of the Western Peak.

Since you cannot be the guardian of the West, then I will be the one. These three mountain gods could all sense that the True Lord of the Western Peak was not in a good mood. At this moment, the earth suddenly began to shake, and Shi Xuanxing was ejected directly from the ground.

The general under the command of the Lord of Mount Tai lost an arm.

His armor was shattered, and he was in a sorry state.

Originally a spirit of heaven and earth in human form, and empowered by the mountain god's decree and the military formation, he was beaten into this state within the earth's veins. Yet, he raised his hand, grabbed his severed arm, pressed it against his body, and shouted, "The great demon has been lured out by us!!!"

boom! ! ! !

As he spoke, a giant spider leg stretched out from the earth, pointing to the sky, carrying a sense of resentment and unrestrained madness.

The young Taoist gripped his weapon tightly, while the old Taoist's eyes flashed with a purplish light. Two monks hurried down the mountain. The Western Peak True Lord's eyes narrowed, and his initial movement to intercept them faltered—

"wrong!"
