A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 619 Who is the Tiger and the Wolf, and Who is the Sheep?

The changes within the main Dao realm of Jiufang Mountain are naturally not as clearly perceived by others.

However, everyone else at the banquet on the high platform could also sense that a deep, turbid aura was spreading towards Jiufang Mountain without any attempt to contain it.

"Who dares to be so insolent?"

Amidst the sea of ​​clouds atop the high platform, a handsome man with a face as white as gold sat atop a wooden boat. He glanced outwards, his gaze sharp and piercing. Upon seeing Guan Luoyang's figure, a cold smile appeared on his face.

"So it was you. Last time you came to Jiufang Mountain, you were arrogant at first and then obsequious. The mountain lord didn't hold it against you and even bestowed upon you a cultivation technique. This time you're being insolent again. If I don't teach you a lesson, you really won't know your place!"

The person on the wooden boat is Venerable Jin Bixian, who has only been in the lowest level of the underworld for nine thousand years.

In the Taiqing World, people at the Celestial Immortal level are generally called Venerables. As they reach higher realms, their titles will naturally change.

However, Jin Bixian was exceptionally humble when he was in the Heavenly Realm. Even after cultivating to the level of a Celestial Immortal, he still only called himself a wandering immortal. Only after cultivating to the level of an Emperor did he reluctantly accept the title of Venerable, but he still refused to call himself an Emperor.

He has a wide circle of friends in the celestial realm, is very tactful, and seems to be able to get along with anyone. He is wealthy, generous, and known for his willingness to mentor younger generations.

Normally, a person like him, even if the holy land he pioneered is about to fall into a period of decline, should have many friends willing to help him, to predict in advance, to suppress the cause and effect, so that he can escape before the period of decline truly arrives, and not fall to the lowest level of the underworld.

However, nine thousand years ago, a newly appointed emperor suddenly reported this person to the Heavenly Venerable Wenqiu.

Speaking of Jin Bixian, he has been two-faced since his time as an Earth Immortal. When exploring various wonders and ruins in the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld, he has set up countless schemes to harm his friends and juniors.

After each success, Jin Bixian would accept the power left behind by his friends. Over time, the younger generation forgot their true ancestor and instead worshipped Jin Bixian as their ancestor. They were at Jin Bixian's beck and call, making countless contributions and considering it an honor.

When Wenqiu Tianzun learned of this, he sent many disciples to investigate and capture the perpetrators. During this process, he uncovered the scandals of many powerful figures in the Heavenly Realm, causing nearly ten Holy Land Lords and more than twenty Emperors to flee to places such as the Great Wilderness Old Realm and the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.

Not long after this major case began, Jin Bixian was captured by Wenqiu Tianzun himself, who led his men to remove the living beings from his sacred land and banish him to the lowest level of the underworld.

After arriving in the underworld, he broke free from his cage due to the impact of the surrounding celestial demons and wanted to use his skillful methods again.

However, not long after, many powerful figures from the Heavenly Realm who were implicated and exposed because of him were also banished to the lowest level of the Underworld.

Those people were not about to let Jin Bixian off easily, and they targeted and ostracized him at every turn, causing his condition to deteriorate and his situation to become increasingly difficult.

This period of nine thousand years can be described as the lowest point in Kim Pil-hyun's life. He had long found it unbearable and had been looking for a way out.

When the Lord of Jiufang Mountain invited the Emperor of the Underworld this time, he actually gave Jin Bixian an invitation token as well, which made Jin Bixian sense something unusual.

When Guan Luoyang last came to Jiufang Mountain, Jin Bixian hid nearby and spied on him, knowing that he was a newcomer but a powerful outsider whose half of his body had already transformed into a celestial ghost.

Judging others by his own standards, he saw that Guan Luoyang had burned a passage through the Black Sea Swamp and thought that this person would definitely be taught a lesson. Unexpectedly, the Lord of Jiufang Mountain treated him with courtesy.

After Guan Luoyang and the others left, Jin Bixian entered Jiufang Mountain and learned about the "Jufa Liusha". He was overjoyed but also annoyed.

After enduring nine thousand years of hardship, he finally got this opportunity, but that "Supreme Master of the Green Lamp," a newcomer, actually got the benefits before him. How hateful!

It was precisely because of this old grudge that Kim Pil-hyun was the first to react.

He stood up from the wooden boat, pulled with both hands, and a large mulberry bow appeared in the air.

With a soft creaking sound from the bow, the bowstring was fully drawn, and suddenly, the void surrounding Jiufang Mountain was filled with a disturbance of cause and effect, displaying countless rays of light of different colors, intertwined and chaotic.

This great bow is a rare treasure, which Jin Bixian obtained from an ancient battlefield. He was able to scheme against so many people without being discovered because of the miraculous effect of this treasure in disrupting cause and effect and misinterpreting heavenly secrets.

When he took out this extraordinary treasure, his intention was not simply to teach it a lesson, but to severely injure "Supreme Master Qingdeng" in one blow, reducing him to a state of utter demonic possession.

stretch!!!!

The bowstring snapped open, producing a buzzing sound.

No arrows were fired from the mulberry wood bow, but the strangely colored rays of light representing cause and effect suddenly scattered between heaven and earth.

It was as if this time, the arrow had been drawn, releasing something that could even temporarily dispel cause and effect.

The other guests at the banquet on the high platform witnessed this attack and were secretly alarmed.

This strike actually gave the feeling that it could influence the calamities of the heavens. That great bow truly lived up to its reputation as a treasure preserved from the ancient calamities.

The calamities of the heavens are things that only arise when the cause and effect are so heavy that they involve too many powerful beings and even cause chaos in all paths.

Therefore, calamities of the heavens at the level of Taiqing Chiming, although originating from cause and effect, are even higher than cause and effect.

These powerful emperors at the lowest level of the underworld, who have fallen into the state of the Five Turbidities, already bear a heavy burden from the remnants of the universe within their bodies. If they were to be struck by such an attack, causing chaos at the level of the Great Dao's origin, there is a real possibility that they would rapidly transform into the state of Heavenly Ghosts.

After Guan Luoyang was hit by this attack, his body indeed emitted an even more concentrated and extreme power of the Five Turbidities, and it looked like he was about to completely lose control.

With a casual swing of his large bow, Jin Bixian was about to knock this man out of the sacred Jiufang Mountain to prevent him from going out of control and continuing to pollute the mountain.

Unexpectedly, just as he raised his bow, it was grabbed by another hand.

"I have important matters to discuss with the mountain lord, and he has not yet given his word. Why are you, a fellow guest, launching a deadly attack against me?"

Guan Luoyang's figure appeared at the bow of the wooden boat at some point, standing in front of Jin Bixian. His eyes emitted a faint purple light, and his left hand was already gripping the large mulberry wood bow.

Kim Pil-hyun was startled, as layers upon layers of spacetime suddenly appeared around him, separating him from the outside.

The Great Dao Realm he had condensed had not yet reached the point of natural decay.

Even though he was severely injured, suppressed, and thrown into the lowest level of the underworld, and was further eroded by the five turbid energies, suffering damage in every way, his actual situation was still better than those emperors who naturally decayed and fell into the underworld.

Therefore, his Great Dao Realm still retains its original appearance as a sacred land of the Heavenly Realm, which is now manifested as the wooden boat beneath his feet.

When Jin Bixian activated his defensive technique, tens of millions of star rivers could be clearly seen rotating and flowing within the wooden boat beneath his feet, rising slowly.

The spacetime that expanded around him was the power of these galactic great paths, refined and reforged to form layers of defense.

However, these protective layers, containing boundless starlight, collapsed the moment they approached Guan Luoyang's left hand, like the world's thinnest bubble approaching the world's hottest flame.

No matter how many layers of spacetime barriers are added, to the hand that Guan Luoyang held the mulberry wood bow, they were all just dreams and illusions, vanishing at the slightest touch and impossible to recall.

"you……"

Guan Luoyang let out a deep sigh, "You've gotten yourself into big trouble."

A purple halo, like thick clouds of smoke, instantly engulfed Kim Pil-hyun's figure.

All they heard was a short, panicked shout, followed by the sight of the purple aura swelling wildly.

The protective array contained on the high platform of Jiufang Mountain was activated at 70% in that instant, and then it all dimmed.

The remaining 30% of the array's divine power didn't even have a chance to be activated.

The three divine lords, who were cultivating in seclusion at the sacred site of Jiufang Mountain, sensed the unusual fluctuations and immediately took to the air.

They saw several powerful emperors, including the Lord of Jiufang Mountain, displaying their supernatural abilities and hurriedly dodging away from the high platform that had been completely occupied by the purple aura.

The purple aura swept across everything, expanding without end.

Seeing that the purple aura was about to catch up with the Lord of Nine Directions Mountain, Lord Xia shouted and threw a punch.

The Lord of Jiufang Mountain exclaimed in alarm, "No!"

Xia Shenjun's fist collided with a layer of purple energy, his expression changed drastically, and his figure transformed into a wisp of colorful cloud, suddenly disappearing into the distance. Only after reaching the outside of the Jiufang Mountain Holy Land did he reappear in his true form.

The other two deities arrived at his side and found that his fist had turned a deep purple. Even though he tried his best to suppress it, he could only keep it below his wrist and could not completely get rid of it.

Mo Shenjun exclaimed in surprise, "What is that?!"

"It is, it is the five turbid energies."

After a moment of stunned silence, Xia Shenjun was also astonished. "How could there be pure purple turbid energy?"

Ordinary people cannot observe the Five Turbid Qi, but from the perspective of an Emperor-level powerhouse, the Five Turbid Qi is dominated by darkness, encompassing infinite iridescent colors, and cannot be a single color.

The five turbid energies before my eyes not only transformed into a pure purple hue, but also inexplicably gave people a feeling that was more extreme and purer than the five turbid energies possessed by the Heavenly Demon.

This is, of course, an illusion.

There are powerful beings in the world who can obliterate the Heavenly Demon, but none can surpass the Heavenly Demon in terms of the purity of the Five Turbid Qi.

Even the remnants of a normally destroyed multiverse cannot generate the kind of power that has sunk to the extreme in the Five Turbid Paths because they lack the twisted spirituality of a Heavenly Demon to govern the whole situation.

However, the fact that Xia Shenjun could have such a misconception only means that the other party's supernatural power mixed in with the five turbid energies is something that Xia Shenjun cannot understand for the time being.

The Lord of Jiufang Mountain looked terrible. His beard had completely disappeared, and only the trembling, aged skin on his face could be seen.

When Guan Luoyang first stepped into Jiufang Mountain, the changes that occurred within the sacred land gave him an ominous premonition.

Jin Bixian was swallowed up after making a rash move, and the level of turbidity inside the Jiufang Mountain realm increased dramatically.

The attack from Xia Shenjun just now only added fuel to the fire.

"What exactly happened?"

The Lord of Jiufang Mountain was filled with doubt and apprehension. He formed a hand seal in mid-air, shouted loudly, and mobilized the power of the Holy Land with all his might, trying to drive Guan Luoyang out.

The purple aura was not dispelled by him, but it seemed to be suppressed and faded slightly.

Those around the holy site could faintly hear Jin Bixian struggling. The sound rose and fell, changing from a roar of anger to a scream, mixed with the sound of something being crushed and chewed.

Among the crowd, there was a zombie god, covered in white fur, exuding a chilling aura, and clad in iron armor. He was also an ancient emperor who had cultivated to this day in the form of a zombie. At this moment, he suddenly stuck out his scarlet, fat tongue and licked his face.

"It's been so long, so very long... so long since I've eaten the Emperor's food, ever since I fell into the Underworld..."

His mind went blank for a moment, and he suddenly rushed towards the purple aura, shouting, "Give me two pieces!"

Everyone was horrified when they saw that the cannibalistic expert thought it was the sound of Jin Bixian being bitten to pieces. They quickly joined forces to stop the Zombie King God.

They could all see that the more the "Supreme Master of the Green Lamp" was stimulated, the more ferocious his power became, and they dared not let the Zombie King God cause any more trouble.

Mo Shenjun murmured, "Has that person completely transformed into a celestial ghost? But if he has transformed into a celestial ghost, how could he possibly possess such powerful divine abilities?!"

The Lord of Jiufang Mountain could not suppress the purple aura and was getting impatient. He was furious to see the Zombie King God acting up and tying up a lot of manpower. But when he heard this, he had a sudden inspiration.

"Master of the Green Lamp!"

The entire Jiufang Mountain Holy Land resonated and vibrated in the void of the underworld, emitting profound sounds to ensure that these words could be transmitted into the purple aura.

"Although I do not know where you get such great supernatural powers, we are all of the five turbid bodies, and it is of no benefit to attack each other. You have swallowed Jin Bixian, and if you swallow my holy land, I am afraid you will become a heavenly ghost on the spot."

"You have no grudge against me, why must you perish together with me?"

The Lord of Jiufang Mountain shouted repeatedly, and finally the purple aura gathered and transformed into swirling dragons and snakes.

Guan Luoyang rode on the most magnificent demonic dragon, slowly ascending into the sky. In one hand he held a whisk, and in the other hand he held the mulberry wood bow, its back stained with blood.

"The mountain lord has misunderstood."

Guan Luoyang smiled and said, "After receiving the wonderful method from the Mountain Lord, my memory has improved a lot, and I have remembered some past events. I came here to express my gratitude to the Mountain Lord."

"It's just that this person attacked me, which made me a little confused and caused a small misunderstanding."

Seeing that he could still manipulate the Five Turbid Purple Qi with ease after swallowing Jin Bixian, transforming it into dragons and snakes, everyone felt that this person was unfathomable and had some intention to back down.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Lord of Jiufang Mountain forced a smile and said, "Since it is a misunderstanding, Venerable Bixian has already apologized to you, Master. Please restrain your divine power, as my mountain dwelling can no longer withstand it."

"Of course, of course."

Guan Luoyang nodded, waved his whisk, and purple energy swirled around Jiufang Mountain, transforming into a continent.

"Since the mountain lord's place is of little use, please come to my place and rest for a while."

Everyone naturally declined and hurriedly left.

The Lord of Jiufang Mountain hurriedly gathered up the sacred ground and hung it in the halo behind his head. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Guan Luoyang's gaze sweep over him.

"Is the mountain lord also leaving?"

The Lord of Jiufang Mountain felt a chill run down his spine, and his left hand had already secretly gripped the Muni Bead in his sleeve.

"Bodhisattva, can you tell what's really going on with this fellow?"

The fake Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva opened his Dharma Eye in the tenth level of the underworld and, through the connection of the Mani Bead, observed carefully before realizing the truth.

"Mountain Lord, we both underestimated this person before..."

Nonsense! Do you even need to tell me that?!

The master of Jiufang Mountain almost lost his temper.

Fortunately, the fake Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva quickly got to the point.

"This person not only possesses the remains of the realm that transformed into a celestial demon, but also the existence of another realm."

"He must have been in a state of near-Celestial Venerable when the previous realm he created was decaying. So, without getting rid of the previous realm, he forcibly created a new one, probably wanting to take the opportunity to take the final step."

"Unfortunately, during the evolution of the new universe, he never grasped the final key. Instead, after the new universe also fell into decay, he was more severely affected, his mind and spirit declined, and even the new universe turned into a celestial ghost."

The Lord of Jiufang Mountain exclaimed in astonishment, "He hasn't even rid himself of the old Great Dao realm, yet he can still create a new one?! What exactly was this person lacking compared to a true Celestial Venerable?!"

The fake Ksitigarbha said, "This situation is indeed very rare, but his ability to restore his former state should still be attributed to the 'Dharma-Gathering Sands'."

"Moreover, relying solely on the mysteries of the Quicksand of Magic, his recovery is still unstable. He could lose his memories again at any time, causing his cultivation level to decline. His hasty visit to you is likely to urge you to attack the human realm. Only in that way can his condition be completely improved."

The Lord of Jiufang Mountain, however, felt strange.

"It's not just that. The Flowing Sands of Dharma are in our hands, and we can only exchange them for those universes that haven't yet decayed. But its foundation is too deep, and its turbidity is too heavy. It's far more extreme than our situation. I'm afraid even we emperors and remnants of universes with our five turbid bodies are nothing in its eyes..."

"It can also be used as a tonic to alleviate injuries."

The fake Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva didn't say anything, which clearly confirmed the guess of the Lord of Jiufang Mountain.

The chill in Jiufang Mountain Lord's heart deepened, but Guan Luoyang's urging voice reached his ears.

"Isn't the mountain lord willing to come and talk to me?"

Guan Luoyang smiled warmly, his tone sincere, his gaze fixed on the Lord of Jiufang Mountain, but his brows slowly furrowed.
