Chapter 474 Sealing Anchor Point, Two Venerables Appear Simultaneously

When Li Wushou was in seclusion refining the Dao fruit of the Dharma Realm with his physical body.

Outside Zhongtian Pass, due to the deaths of Kunshan Daoist and Tuling Temple Master, Xuanhuang Temple Master urgently summoned another late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator—Konggu—to oversee the front lines.

Enraged, Huang Shigong and Dao Yan, one standing at the front line and the other at the rear, accelerated the advance on all four fronts.

With the help of Daoist Zizhen, Li Wushou's primordial spirit returned to his Dharma realm.

Taking advantage of the ease of advancement, he monitored the movements of Zhu Liuli's primordial spirit, Zique, while collecting various kinds of flesh and blood in the name of Zizhen Daoren.

Given Master Zizhen's current prestige, the other three factions would naturally not refuse his request.

In addition, the rewards given by Daoist Zizhen were quite high, and the variety of flesh and blood collected increased rapidly in a short period of time.

In addition, during this period, Li Wushou also frequently used the primordial spirit of Zizhen Daoist to survey the earth.

Li Wushou could keenly perceive that after the advancement of the Fengling Dao's world was completed, even the climate was changing, becoming more similar to the Yanwu Territory and the Xuanhuang Territory.

Even the mountains, landforms, vegetation, and living things are undergoing silent transformations.

In the past, Li Wushou might not have understood why this was the purpose.
However, as the old beggar explained things to the several great masters, Li Wushou gained a clearer understanding of the progress in the Central Domain.

The so-called transformation of heaven and earth should mean bringing the world of the Sealed Spirit Path under the control of its own territory, thereby cutting off the Sealed Spirit Path's supply to the Sparrow Venerable Sacred Domain.

This method can both strengthen one's own power and weaken the foundation of the Sparrow Lord.

No wonder Dao Yan and Huang Shigong proceeded cautiously, and after invading the Fengling Path, they first sought to reverse the fate of the Fengling Path.

Three days later
After advancing for seven or eight days, the four lines in the central region finally began to turn towards encirclement and converge on Zhongtian Pass.

Strange phenomena frequently occur in the land illuminated by the blazing sun. Sharp axe lights constantly burst forth from the void, slashing at the sunlight. This is the special power of heaven and earth outside Zhongtian Pass resisting.

Dao Yan had to expend more energy to calm Jin Rui's axe flash.

However, the surging Xuanhuang energy also encountered resistance, with the dense dragon's resentment and earthly evil power launching a fierce counterattack.

This place has long been deserted, and the True Lord in charge of advancing it often finds it difficult to move forward.

This Dragon's Wrath and Earthly Fiend have a great corrosive effect on the Dharma Realm. At the same time, they can also pollute the soul. Even the primordial spirit of the Transformation God feels extremely uncomfortable when bathing in it. All the True Lords have to deal with it carefully!

Fortunately, Huang Shigong, holding the Xuanhuang Banner, stood at the forefront and calmed and suppressed most of the dragon's resentment and evil energy, which allowed the advancing team to proceed in an orderly manner.

By the fourth day, the four lines had almost merged into one, with each line only about ten miles apart.

With the blazing sun overhead, Dao Yan, like Huang Shigong, rushed to the front of the group, leading them as they approached Zhongtian Pass.

The reason the two were so at ease was naturally not because of Jin Peng, who had been keeping a low profile these past few days.

Instead, behind the blazing sun and the dark yellow sky, two towering figures stood.

The Great Venerable Yanwu and the Abbot of Xuanhuang Temple have reappeared!
Unlike before at the Northern Pass, this time all the Nascent Soul cultivators felt something and were greatly encouraged.

While simulating the primordial spirit aura of Daoist Zizhen, Li Wushou took advantage of the opportunity when Dao Yan and Huang Shigong quelled the strange phenomena in the world to continuously analyze and explore the Daoist charm of the two.

On the other hand, they were somewhat puzzled by the sudden appearance of Yanwu Dazun and Xuanhuang Guanzhu.

This time it's definitely different!
For the previous ten days or so, Yanwu Dazun, Xuanhuang Guanzhu, and even Que Zun had all disappeared without a trace.

Sparrow Lord Li Wushou was somewhat confident that he and Zhu Liuli should be spreading their primordial spirit sparrows behind Zhongtian Pass.

Even the groups of people sent out by the talisman master were not spared; without exception, their primordial spirits were implanted in the sparrow.

So what have the Great Venerable Yanwu and the Abbot of Xuanhuang been doing during this time?
Thanks to the old beggar's explanation, Li Wushou gained a much deeper understanding of these great masters.

After understanding the relationship between the sacred domains and territories of these individuals, Li Wushou also gained a different understanding of the coordinates of the sacred domains of the several Great Venerables.

According to the old beggar's theory, even if the Sparrow Lord collected all the rings at the Holy Domain's ferry crossings...

However, there must be an anchor point connecting the Sparrow Saint Domain and the Sealing Spirit Path!

Unless the Sparrow Lord actively abandons the Sealed Spirit Path territory and separates his own Holy Domain from the void, this connection will not be broken!

So, does Mahjong Master know how to play?
Li Wushou, who understood the Dao and Dharma of the Sparrow Lord, thought it unlikely. At least not now!

The core principle of the Sparrow Master is not chaos but greed. She not only wants to find a new path, but also to inherit the original foundation and go a step further.

Therefore, she will not give up until she has exhausted the essence of the Sealing Spirit Path!
So let's try to see things from another person's perspective.

If he were the Great Venerable Yanwu and the Abbot of Xuanhuang Temple, this would be the first anchor point he would seek.

Only by locking onto this anchor point can we truly seize the initiative in this battle and achieve a true ability to attack or defend.

Seeing the two of them appearing so openly now, could it be that they have really found the anchor point?

Is he going to take action himself?

Li Wushou's mind raced, but he still felt that things weren't that simple.

Because this book also involves an Immortal Mountain!

As can be seen from the previous sealing of the spirit world, the writing method of the Immortal Mountain requires the sacrifice of living beings' flesh and blood.

Although Li Wushou was well aware that both the Sparrow Lord and the Immortal Mountain harbored their own ulterior motives, this premise remained unchanged.

The Sparrow Lord requires the death of living beings, not just ordinary beings, but even better, True Lords and Transformation Gods!
This is why there was no compromise before and why this war has started!
How can one achieve their goals without the death of a large number of living beings?

If Yanwu and Xuanhuang had truly locked onto the anchor point at this moment, the battlefield would have shifted into the Sacred Domain of the Sparrow Lord at any time. Would there still be casualties within the Sealed Spirit Path then?
It's obviously not that simple!
However, the Great Venerable Yanwu and the Abbot of Xuanhuang Temple were not acting without reason. If their actions were merely for the sake of Zhongtian Pass, it would seem to be too ostentatious.

Li Wushou always felt that there was a conspiracy at play inside.

It's unclear whether it was the Great Venerable Yanwu and the Abbot Xuanhuang who tricked the Sparrow Venerable, or the Sparrow Venerable who tricked them.

Or perhaps all of these people were trapped in the Immortal Mountain Pit.
As Li Wushou pondered, the fifth day quietly arrived.

It seems that the Great Venerable Yanwu and the Abbot of Xuanhuang Temple had some kind of tacit understanding with the Sparrow Venerable, and both sides set this day as the day of the final battle.

As the sun rose, Dao Yan's blazing sunlight shone on the sky outside Zhongtian Pass, while Huang Shigong's Xuanhuang Banner was simultaneously planted in the abyss.

Behind the two stood Zi Zhen, Xue Yan, the flag bearer, and the newly arrived Kong Gu.

Behind the four were nearly twenty Nascent Soul cultivators and dozens of Core Formation True Monarchs. All of them solemnly gazed at the void that was constantly distorting under the stirring of the blazing sun and the primordial chaos.

This is an unusual phenomenon produced by the spontaneous eruption and collision of the vastly different boundary forces of Zhongtian Pass.

In other words, the approximate location of Zhongtian Pass has been locked by the power of Yan Yang and Xuanhuang, and Dao Yan and Huang Shigong can activate Daoist rhymes at any time to pull Zhongtian Pass out of the void.

Huang Shigong stared at Zhongtian Pass with a cold expression, filled with murderous intent.

Dao Yan also looked solemn and extremely serious.

At that moment, the two men had a sudden thought, and then simultaneously took a step back, bowed deeply in front of them, and said:

"I've met Master!"

"Greetings, Abbot!"

Upon seeing this, Zi Zhen and the others quickly bowed and said in unison:

"Greetings, Great Venerable Yanwu!"

"Greetings, Abbot Xuanhuang!"

The moment the sound faded, two hazy figures materialized and quietly appeared at the head of the group.

The moment the two appeared, the world fell silent. Although their presence was subtle, everyone felt a sense of unease and oppression.

After waving their hands behind them, both Yanwu Grandmaster and Xuanhuang Temple Master looked up into the void.

Standing on the Xuanhuang Mountain, the Xuanhuang Temple Master spoke softly:
"Lord Sparrow, this is your last chance. Even if you abandon the method of sealing the spirits of heaven and earth, we can still be fellow Daoists on the path to immortality!"

Yanwu Dazun, standing to the side, snorted coldly, golden flames rising from the void, and continued speaking:
"Mount Everlasting feeds on living beings, and the Venerable Ones are its prey. It has hunted the world for thousands of years, trying to outsmart the tiger, only to be devoured by it in the end. Why is the Sparrow Venerable so stubbornly unenlightened?"
