Chapter 554 Qingxuan is not like an immortal
Boom!
One after another, the sky fire hit the barrier evenly. The Huangji Sect's formation was extremely clever, using earth veins as bones, spiritual veins as blood, and supplemented by treasures.
Thus avoiding all the disadvantages of defense.
That is to say, defense needs to take into account all directions and multiple methods must be preset, and the consumption is bound to be several times greater than that of attack. The defender cannot be sure what action the attacker who has the absolute initiative will take. Whether the next attack will be Taoist magic, divine soul, or some evil spell.
Some great supernatural powers have developed point-to-point defensive methods, dancing on the tip of the knife. There are also things like the Buddhist Golden Body that strengthen one's own body and achieve defense that does not require any preparation.
But in the final analysis, the defender is always at a disadvantage.
As for the large formation that penetrates directly into the ground, it avoids all disadvantages. It relies on the spiritual veins to have endless mana to maintain the formation. The earth veins ensure stability, and a clever formation can also counterattack.
Consumption in this way can kill enemies across borders.
Hence, the mountain-protecting formation has become the standard feature of the sect, and it is the most powerful guarantee for long-term peace and order. In the history of the spiritual world, there are many cases where sects relied on large formations to avoid being pursued by enemies, and remained stable for hundreds of years, until a new generation of strong men grew up and rose again.
This is also why the Huangji Sect has not fallen so far despite the siege of heaven and humans.
But Yan Tianjun is not in a hurry. In his opinion, this mountain-protecting formation is very unstable, and the foundation of the formation does not go deep into the earth's veins.
It's like a building that needs a 20-meter-deep foundation, but in fact it's only less than 10 meters deep.
The reason is not difficult to guess, based on the memories left in the souls of the monks he killed in the past few days. It has only been 15 years since the world first opened, and it has only been less than 10 years since this sect was established.
A qualified mountain-protecting formation takes anywhere from a hundred to a thousand years.
It takes a long time and extremely high investment to achieve the goal of making dead things comparable to strong ones, and continuous investment in maintenance will be required in the future. This is why many times, instead of investing huge sums of money to create magic weapons or formations, it is better to cultivate a strong person.
This formation can last about a year.
or one month, it only takes 500 years of life.
Jian Tianjun turned his attention to the other side, but at this moment, others had already swept away the entire Black Soil State.
The actions of the Asgard are planned, not a rush forward, or pure killing.
Their purpose from beginning to end is to save the common people in the world.
So the action was divided into three routes. Yan Tianjun set out from the Hengduan Mountains and advanced towards the Huangji Sect. While attracting firepower, he also gathered the masters of the five major sects in one place. The remaining two groups of troops pushed forward along the coastline towards China, indirectly forcing the strong men from large and small sects towards Huangji Sect.
In this way, we can avoid fighting in the city and causing the death of a large number of mortals.
With the help of two Nascent Soul-level powerhouses, the huge cities built by humans in this era may not necessarily come to nothing, but the human beings with flesh and blood will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. For example, fires caused by falling fire from the sky can cause countless deaths.
Among them are the stampedes caused by panic, and the irreparable people's hearts after the social order collapses again.
A stream of light is flying towards this side.
“Tianjun, the sword master said it’s time to stop.”
A heavenly being flew in from afar and bent down to report: "The sword master has an order, turn from attack to defense, don't attack when you are trapped, and manage the circle."
“Don’t attack when you are trapped.”
Yan Tianjun frowned slightly, obviously unwilling to stop. Xiao Yuntian had already predicted his temperament, and the heavenly man who came to report said: "Sword Master also said that you have a strong temperament, and you must want to kill these people to eliminate future troubles."
"But now your strength has not yet returned to its peak, and even at this moment, you are consuming your foundation. It is not worth burning your body and life for the sake of killing people, considering all the people in the world."
Yan Tianjun's frown slowly relaxed, the sky fire that was constantly floating in his eyebrows and pupils slowly disappeared, the Taoism dissipated, and no more fire stars fell from the sky.
Only the scorched earth was left with some remaining flames, and a thousand-foot aura barrier emitting auras. The monks hiding in it all breathed a sigh of relief.
He asked: "What should we do with this place in the future? Is it possible to stay here forever?"
The heavenly being replied: "The sword master said that after one month, he will have a clever plan."
He sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and breathed in spiritual energy. Ten more Jindan heavenly beings came from the distance. They guarded the four sides and each formed a simple formation. A larger one was placed outside the mountain-protecting formation. barrier.
Such a formation cannot stop anyone, but serves more of a warning role.
They only need to delay for a moment.
——————————
Hundreds of miles away, a city.
A golden elixir stage heavenly being stood on top of the city and saw that the city below was in chaos. He held an extremely huge water dragon in his hand and soared from the river into the sky, hovering over the entire city, shocking everyone.
Countless mortals looked up at the sky, looking at the water dragons and celestial beings with fear.
There was a majestic voice from the sky, falling from the sky, like thunder from the sky, declaring supreme authority.
“I am the True Lord Xuanlong under the Immortal Seat.”
“Since the resurrection of heaven and earth, there have been ups and downs in troubled times. Mortal people are like being plunged into the raging fire of a frying pan. Ritual and music have collapsed. Laws and virtues have disappeared. People eat each other.”
"This is the immorality of those in power and should be beheaded! Now the guilty ones are put to death to spare the dead, but the troubled times are still there."
"From today onwards, the Immortal Palace is established, and the immortals are sued, and the world is sued, and the prosperous and peaceful world begins today. Anyone who is in power and loses his morality, who harms the people of the world, and who does not follow the laws of the Immortal Palace should be beheaded. Destroy and punish!"
The voice echoed throughout the city, over and over again. It was not something the gods said many times, and it was definitely not an echo. But at the same time, in this land that is deeply mired in troubled times, in the sky above all the cities, heavenly beings from the prosperous age of ten thousand years descended and announced to the world.
This is not for ordinary people to hear.
More, it is said to all the powerful people in the world.
What kind of arrogance, what kind of arrogance, what kind of courage is this.
Countless powerful people in the world cast their gazes, some with faces showing anger, some with fear, some with neither sadness nor joy, and countless thoughts wandering in the void, but no one dared to stand up.
Because they saw a shadow in these people, he was also so domineering, substituting his own heart for the heart of heaven, and using his own virtue to follow heaven's principles.
Xiangong believes that the world should be prosperous and peaceful, that all those in power should be virtuous, that it is natural for the strong to protect the weak, and that he is qualified to manage all human beings.
This is the true meaning of this announcement to the world.
It is more like a declaration of war than appeasement.
Declare war on all societies where the jungle prevails.
The people of heaven stood there, waiting for the response from all the powerful people in heaven and earth.
Xiao Yuntian and other great sages of the Immortal Palace sat cross-legged in the clouds, looking at the heaven and earth, and were speechless for a long time.
“Will anyone come forward?” someone asked.
"Perhaps, but it doesn't matter, because whether they stand up or not, they are our mortal enemies."
Xiao Yuntian wiped it with colorful clouds, and when his fingertips passed across it, the sound of swords shook the sky, and his lowered eyes were filled with determination to kill.
“This time, the heavens and the earth have gathered together for eternity. In the past, humans conquered the heavens and immortals destroyed the heavens and the earth. We may be the last era. But looking at this world, there is no pure land. Those in power have no virtue, and those who are strong bully the weak.”
“Look at this world, have you ever heard the sorrow of the people at dawn, have you ever seen the face of hunger, have you ever had a thought of mercy?”
Xiao Yuntian asked. He has only been reincarnated for less than half a month now, but he has a certain understanding of the current world situation through the memories of the monks' remaining souls.
Except for Shenzhou, everything is in troubled times.
Hardly any strong man wants prosperity and peace.
Xiao Yuntian is convinced that except for Immortal Dao and Immortal Palace, all powerful people are mortal enemies and enemies.
An immortal once said, recognize friends and enemies clearly. What I hate is not necessarily my enemy, and what I like is not necessarily my friend.
How to distinguish ourselves from the enemy?
Divided according to Tao, different Tao will not work together.
He who pursues prosperity is a Taoist friend.
“Most of the powerful people throughout the ages have pursued the law of the jungle. The contradiction between us and them is irreconcilable. In this case, why should we hide it?”
In the end, no one answered.
The gods spoke in words that mortals can understand very straightforwardly. Their voices were warm and soft, and there was a way of calming the gods in them.
“Children, the troubled times are over.” ————————
Three days later.
Heirang Prefecture was restored to order, and the gods appointed talents. Under the influence of a powerful soul that was almost mind-reading, it only took two days to build a team that could be used.
Jointly established temporary government offices, the official name of which is the Urban Management Division.
The concept of Immortal Palace is that there is no concept of country, which also means that there are no restrictions on territory and jurisdiction. Immortal Palace has jurisdiction over all people and things in heaven and earth.
Youdao means that all people in the world are ministers and concubines.
The minister refers to the male and the concubine refers to the female, which includes everyone.
Putting it in the context of the Immortal Palace, it is a summary of Yin and Yang, which is heaven and earth.
At the same time, Heirang Prefecture and Beiying were banned and renamed Beidou. They were divided into seven regions and more than a hundred cities.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and every heavenly being has rich management experience. It is not difficult for them to rebuild society, and it is even easier for them to manage affairs.
The real difficulty is to restore industry.
The gods are aware of the role of industry, and they also understand that there are mostly mortals nowadays. If you want to create a prosperous age, you cannot rely on endless monks like the fairy palace in the previous life. Instead, we should vigorously develop productivity, satisfy food and clothing first, and then think about other things.
Xiao Yuntian asked people to search for scientists or intellectuals, but found nothing. It is said that almost all cutting-edge scientists and high-level intellectuals have gone to China.
On the eve of the collapse of society, everyone who could escape ran away. Even if they didn't run away, they would find ways to sneak across China in the past 10 years.
Xiao Yuntian was slightly disappointed, but it was also reasonable.
It is difficult to protect oneself, and those who have the ability will naturally find a way out.
“Master Sword, the Shangqing Palace in Shenzhou wants to see you, and there is also Taoist Qingxuan who wants to see you?”
A heavenly being comes to repay you.
Now Beidou (Beidou and Heirang Prefecture) has been completely blocked by the Immortal Palace. It is impossible to get out from the inside and cannot get in from the outside. Before the situation has completely stabilized, Xiangong does not want to cause more trouble.
Especially in densely populated areas.
Shangqing Palace, Taoist Qingxuan?
Xiao Yuntian was stunned for a moment. He naturally knew both, and the Shangqing Palace had been passed down to the era when he lived.
At that time, the sect model had been banned, and Shangqing Palace had become the highest institution of learning in the Immortal Palace. Basically, the hundreds of people involved in this war came from Shangqing Palace.
Taoist Qingxuan is a sage of the human race, and is known as the first person to unite the will of the human race to conquer heaven. If Taoist Qingxuan had not led many powerful sects to sacrifice in those days, I am afraid that the glory and spirit of Immortal Palace would not have existed in the future.
Sacrifice is the way of survival for the human race.
This statement originated from Master Feixing, but it was first practiced by Taoist Qingxuan.
Xiao Yuntian was naturally willing to meet this sage and would greet him personally, but these two notifications gave him a different meaning.
Shangqing Palace and Qingxuan Taoist.
The former is an organization, representing the entire Immortal Way, the Divine State, and the will of countless forces and people.
The latter is an individual.
“Senior Qingxuan, is there anything else to say?” Xiao Yuntian asked.
The heavenly being replied: "No, the great sage guarding the Bering Strait only received a letter and did not see anyone."
With that said, he handed over the letter, which was a very ordinary piece of paper with only the word Qingxuan in it, followed by the aura of Taoism from the Shangqing Palace.
This kind of aura can be faked by anyone who has practiced Taoism in the Qing Dynasty.
There is not much credibility, but it is certain that it should be Senior Qingxuan.
Because no one dares to come to me pretending to be him.
If it were the legendary Wuxiang, it wouldn't be like this.
Xiao Yuntian asked again: "Where is Shangqing Palace?"
The Heavenly Man replied: "The Shangqing Palace said that after hearing about our actions, they also hope to contribute to quelling the chaos. They can provide all assistance and can immediately feed all the people in this land."
“It seems that China is indeed rich.” Xiao Yuntian raised his eyebrows. In his memory, China was not just about occupying a spiritual land.
There is also the productivity of modern industrial civilization. Especially after the collapse of society, countless elites flocked to China.
This is not what Shangqing Palace meant.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Yuntian said: "Leave the Shangqing Palace to other great sages. You can negotiate for assistance, but you can't take it for free. It's hard to repay the favor."
“Isn’t Shenzhou one of its own people?”
"It can be, or it can't. Wait until when they can really make the people rich, instead of squeezing a little from the cracks of their fingernails to hang on the people, and then call themselves brothers."
Xiao Yuntian's words were filled with disdain.
“If it weren’t for the immortals, some of them would have died.”
If the immortals were not there, Shenzhou would also be the enemy of the Immortal Palace and would also have irreconcilable contradictions.
Those who have advanced in cultivation have a Taoist heart that is as solid as a rock and remains unchanged despite all difficulties.
Can be called paranoid, determined, or crazy.
The Celestial Beings are more like absolute idealists.
People should be rich and happy, and the world should be prosperous. If not, someone has stolen the people's happiness.
In the past life, one was the way of heaven, but in this life, one is a rebellious official and a traitor.
Night, Bering Strait.
At the junction of Shenzhou and Beidou, one city cluster is still shining even at midnight, while the other is pitch black.
Xiao Yuntian stood on a rock and suddenly felt something. He raised his head and looked into the distance. He saw a man in green clothes, whose appearance and temperament somewhat resembled that of a young immortal.
He had read in the ancient books of Shangqing Palace that before the Immortal came to power and the Immortal Palace was established. The immortal is a Taoist priest who is as gentle as jade and a leisurely person who travels around.
For a moment, Xiao Yuntian thought he had seen an immortal.
“Fellow Taoist, you are polite.”
Qingxuan smiled and bowed his hands, immediately bringing the dazed Xiao Yuntian back to reality.
Seeing his ancestor salute him, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him with both hands and said: "Old Ancestor, I am the one who broke the rules. This junior Xiao Yuntian pays homage to the ancestor Qingxuan."
For other strong men, Xiao Yuntian and all the heavenly beings looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts, whether it was their strength or their conduct. In their minds, most of the powerful people in the world today are just wild beasts, uncivilized beasts.
For the sages of the human race such as Qingxuan, they naturally bowed down and paid homage with great respect.
And there has always been an ancient rumor in the Immortal Palace.
Taoist Qingxuan was brought into the Shangqing Palace by an immortal. Many people speculated that he was the son of an immortal, and this has been spread for a long time.
Just a look at it today...
Xiao Yuntian looked at Qingxuan's face carefully, making the other party slightly confused.
“Is there anything on Pindao’s face?”
"No."
Xiao Yuntian shook his head in disappointment.
Without the appearance of an immortal, without the holy face of an immortal, how can one be worthy of being a descendant of an immortal?
