Ding Ding Little Stone
Chapter 694: A New Opportunity!
Sima Che wept bitterly, crying out to the heavens.
He was truly grieving, without a hint of pretense.
In his eyes, the common people were nothing; only the Great Jin Empire was eternal. But now, with Jingtai's fall, the imperial court was collapsing rapidly.
If a pillar of strength didn't appear, then...the Great Jin Dynasty would be extinguished.
And the only person capable of turning the tide and recreating the universe was one.
His father, the Jin Grand Ancestor, who usurped the throne over two hundred years ago.
Although the Grand Ancestor only reigned for a short time before feigning death and abdicating, everyone from the immortal sects to the Sima family knew that the Grand Ancestor was simply cultivating.
The lifespan of immortals was uncertain, some said a thousand years, others eight hundred, like that Peng Zu. But...no matter which it was, the Grand Ancestor couldn't have fallen.
Therefore, he knew very well that the Grand Ancestor was merely cultivating.
But now, when your family is about to be destroyed and the court is about to fall apart, why...why won't you come out!
Although these experts are strong, Sima Che dared to assert that no one could compare to the Grand Ancestor.
Not even Chen Yuan!
Unfortunately, his roar received no response. Shenjing City only lit up with rays of light, activating the city's protective formation, and the Jin Grand Ancestor remained utterly silent.
Gradually, despair filled Sima Che's eyes.
Could it be...
That something had really happened to the Grand Ancestor?
Otherwise, why...why...doesn't he come out!
"Boom!!!"
The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl (Ding Hai Zhu) radiated light, directly striking Sima Che's front. It was his treasure, a treasure passed down through the Sima clan, but it had been seized by Tianxu Daoist.
He even refined it and smashed it toward him.
And Sima Che was already at an absolute disadvantage. His previous roar was the most obvious opening. He wanted to awaken the Grand Ancestor with his life force.
Tianxu Daoist naturally wouldn't give him the chance.
The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl broke through his defenses.
"Pfft!!!"
Sima Che spat out a mouthful of blood, already severely injured. He wanted to flee, abandoning his physical body to escape into the capital with his nascent soul (Yuanshen), wanting to see what was happening with the Grand Ancestor.
But in terms of mystical arts, he couldn't compare to an immortal sect leader like Tianxu Daoist. Tianxu Daoist anticipated his actions, and rays of light directly suppressed him.
His nascent soul was imprisoned within his physical body.
Then, Tianxu Daoist formed a hand seal, and chains appeared in the void, directly wrapping around him, binding him tightly, not even giving him a chance to die.
A faint smile appeared on Tianxu Daoist's lips, but he didn't stop. Then, with a thought, the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls separated and hovered above Sima Che's head.
Completely suppressed!
Although there was still fighting, most of the Yang God experts had stopped. Sima Che's defeat completely shattered the confidence of the last remaining group.
The court officials were in chaos, frantically fleeing for their lives.
On the other side, Gu Tianqiong was also severely injured by Jiang He and Dongfang Sheng working together. Even though he later gained momentum, it didn't cause any waves. He was once again suppressed by Jiang He and Dongfang Sheng.
Gu Tianqiong's strength was great; after all, he was listed among the top ten on the Ascension List's Heaven Ranking. But his opponents were even stronger: one was no weaker than him, but didn't want to pay too high a price,
and the other was unparalleled in attack, with a perfect state of mind.
Working together, suppressing Gu Tianqiong was not an exaggeration.
Jiang He withdrew his hand, while Dongfang Sheng unleashed chains as black as ink from his sleeves, firmly binding Gu Tianqiong. His situation was similar to Sima Che's.
His nascent soul was also suppressed.
Otherwise, if he escaped with his nascent soul, his speed would be unimaginable. Even if they wanted to chase, their chances wouldn't be great.
Of course, Gu Tianqiong didn't seem to want to escape either. He sighed deeply and lowered his proud head.
The emperor had fallen in public, and the imperial court's experts had crumbled. There wasn't much foundation left. This time, Jingtai had wagered his entire fortune. In the future, there wouldn't be another chance to rise again.
Unless...the Grand Ancestor descended from the heavens and suppressed these martial world experts one by one.
With Gu Tianqiong and Sima Che suppressed, the battle in the void basically ended. Even though Lingxu Daoist was still fighting with Jishi Bodhisattva, it didn't affect the overall situation.
Moreover, Manjushri Bodhisattva turned his gaze and slowly said:
"Jishi Bodhisattva, stop."
Although the voice was soft, it accurately reached the golden giant ape's ears. The madness in his eyes gradually faded, and clarity returned. He glanced at the injuries on his body, not caring.
While vigilantly staring at Lingxu Daoist, he put his palms together:
"Amitabha."
Their stopping also basically signaled everyone to stop.
As if by tacit agreement, everyone's gaze turned to the figure with his arms outstretched in the void, their eyes flashing with various expressions.
Even though the people present were all Yang God True Monarchs, they had to admit that Chen Yuan had shouldered the greatest pressure, especially against Jingtai's powerful aura earlier.
Among those present, only Ye Xiangnan and Manjushri Bodhisattva could compare to him.
But, perhaps even for them,
Facing the immortal Jingtai, there was no other way. They couldn't defeat him, but they also couldn't kill him. Even if some accident happened, that...it couldn't be defined.
Everyone knew that from this day forward, Chen Yuan would truly become famous throughout the world!
Tianxu Daoist breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile still on his face.
To be honest, looking from here, that kid with his arms outstretched really had the powerful spirit of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger. The Tai Xu Palace hadn't bet wrong, and he hadn't bet wrong either.
Heaven blesses the Tai Xu Palace!
Lingxu Daoist's gaze was calm, still pondering the previous events.
Chen Yuan is the Asura Devil Monarch, relying on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
But now, even without Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, his strength is worthy of the title of Asura Devil Monarch. It's a pity that if Chen Yuan had been able to unleash his current strength during the Mount Shu battle,
Not a single one of those demon clans would have been able to escape.
He couldn't think that Chen Yuan had rapidly improved his strength after the Mount Shu battle.
How...how could that be?
Feng Jiuge's eyes flickered, thinking of the Changqing Dao Lord of the Dao God Palace.
Her relationship with Li Suqing wasn't as close as sisters, after all, she defeated Li Suqing to take the position of Palace Master, and reached her current realm relying on the foundation of the Goddess Palace.
But if you were to say familiar, there was definitely no problem.
After all, they were both rivals and fellow disciples who grew up together.
Bhaisajyaguru Buddha's strength wasn't weak, but it focused on defense. In reality, she had always been on the offensive, so she had the leisure to pay attention to that Changqing Dao Lord.
Then...
She naturally discovered her identity.
The Changqing Dao Lord of the Dao God Palace, the Changqing Dao Lord whose identity was speculated upon in the martial world, actually...is the Great Elder of the Goddess Palace!
After Li Suqing revealed her identity as Changqing Dao Lord, the cultivation technique she used was indeed created by Moro, but there was no identity in the world that could be completely concealed, at least not in Feng Jiuge's eyes.
But she also knew what was important. This wasn't the time to expose her identity.
Although the war had been suspended, it was only suspended.
Whether or not they would fight was really uncertain.
Dongfang Sheng glanced at Jiang He, then at Lingxu Daoist, smiled, and said nothing.
According to his deduction, the Tai Xu Palace and Mount Shu had indeed joined forces with the Dao God Palace. In other words, among these Yang God True Monarchs, there were currently only three camps.
The Lingshan side, the Dao God Palace side, and the other side was Wudang Mountain, Goddess Palace, Martial Emperor City, and his Heavenly Demon Palace, these existences fighting independently.
The initiative wasn't on their side.
Just wait and see.
"Amitabha..." Manjushri Bodhisattva looked at Chen Yuan, his expression more solemn than ever. He had a premonition that this person would definitely be a great threat to Lingshan.
Moreover, he had now come into his own.
Huyan Monk didn't have a camp yet, but he was still standing on the side of the Dao God Palace, facing Samantabhadra Bodhisattva of the Lingshan side.
Although the other party was annoyed, Manjushri was the one in charge of the overall situation. Whether or not to start a war still depended on Manjushri's intentions. Below the Buddha, Manjushri was first.
This was his prestige in Lingshan.
They all knew that Chen Yuan's current strength and power, simply put, the Dao God Palace had exerted a lot of effort this time. Correspondingly, Chen Yuan, who had killed Jingtai, was also the biggest beneficiary.
After this battle, his reputation in the martial world would probably be unparalleled.
While these Yang God True Monarchs were paying attention to Chen Yuan, in another inconspicuous direction, Xiang Qianqiu was also paying attention to Chen Yuan with his arms outstretched.
He felt that he had miscalculated.
He had already miscalculated from the moment Jingtai merged with the national fortune, and Chen Yuan, who was able to kill Jingtai, had far exceeded his expectations.
He has come into his own!!!
There was no hope of controlling him anymore.
He also didn't expect Chen Yuan's strength to improve so quickly. Although his strength still had a gap compared to him, the forces he had gathered through alliances.
Had far exceeded the Xiang family.
If he dared to attack, it would be difficult for him to leave.
As for the future, it would be even more difficult to plot against this person.
This gave Xiang Qianqiu, who had always regarded himself highly, a great sense of frustration. Jingtai had planned for decades, and hadn't he also planned for decades?
Jingtai's plans were all ruined by Chen Yuan.
Then what about him?
Xiang Qianqiu didn't know, but he vaguely had some bad premonitions.
Gazes converged on Chen Yuan. Besides them, there were also those existences on the ground and in the low air. For some reason, Chen Yuan, who had killed Jingtai, had become the center of the world at this moment.
But Chen Yuan, who was opening his arms to receive the opportunity of the Destiny Altar, wasn't paying attention to them. After killing Jingtai, his mind was focused on it.
After all, his killing of Jingtai was partly for revenge, to seek justice for those common people and martial artists, and partly to get the hint of opportunity.
He was only one step away from Yang God. He didn't want this step to become an insurmountable gap.
His strength was enough.
But he was still not satisfied.
Killing Jingtai, he relied on Moro's power in the beginning, and then relied on Jingtai's weakness, borrowing the power of the masses and those Yin souls and resentment.
In fact, his own strength was only at the level of the top ten in the Heaven Ranking.
He didn't lie when he said that if Jingtai hadn't merged with the national fortune in the end, but had condensed another true body, in the case of Moro leaving his body,
He really wouldn't have been able to kill the other party, and might even have been counter-killed.
But it was useless to say anything now. After all, the final result was that he won.
And that...was enough!
The Destiny Altar in the depths of his consciousness was still flashing with blood-colored light, continuing to rotate, repairing its damaged parts, but it really only repaired a part.
That power seemed to be insufficient, and the blood-colored light was gradually fading.
At the same time, a long-lost feeling surged into his heart at this moment.
"Ten thousand miles away on the coast of the East Sea, a sky-connecting, earth-linking Dragon God Island. The Azure Dragon of the East Pole rises with the wind, dragon essence melts into supreme power. Ninety-nine returning to one, tribulation lightning forms, Heavenly Yin turns into Yang, and the nascent soul flourishes!"
Chen Yuan opened his eyes, a flash of excitement in his eyes.
This time's prophecy was still easy to guess, and like before, it was all literal, which meant that this time, not only could he use the opportunity to transform his nascent soul into Yang, but he could also achieve great success in supreme power?!
Although it was a bit far, outside the East Sea, the benefits were worth it!
Chen Yuan knew his current cultivation. His supreme power was only one step away from great success, but this one step was an insurmountable gap, like an uncrossable ravine.
No matter how he cultivated, he could never get through it.
His nascent soul had experienced the unique Fire and Wind tribulations, and had reached the ultimate Yin state, and was very perfect, without any signs of unstable realm.
What was lacking was that he hadn't passed the lightning tribulation, a little divine light pointing to the Yang God, turning from Yin to Yang, and from then on being able to roam freely between heaven and earth.
Such an opportunity was naturally worth Chen Yuan's surprise.
As expected, purple destiny was indeed extraordinary.
As for that opportunity, it seemed to be a real dragon.
As long as he devoured it, Chen Yuan's strength would usher in a real surge.
He could now compete with the existences in the top ten of the Heaven Ranking. When his physical body and nascent soul all reached the highest level of the Yang transformation supreme power realm, how powerful would he be?
Could he compete with existences like Ye Xiangnan, Xiang Qianqiu, and Manjushri?
Even if not, there would probably be no problem with Wei Jinfeng, Dongfang Sheng, and the sect leaders holding immortal weapons. His strength could definitely be described as a surge.
Now was not the time to be weak. In the Yang transformation realm, even a little bit of progress could be described as rare and valuable. Otherwise, with so many Yang transformation True Persons with so many lifespans, there wouldn't be only a few dozen Yang God True Monarchs.
At that time, he could rise up to contend for hegemony in the world!
Letting out a long breath of turbid air, Chen Yuan walked step by step towards the four Bodhisattvas of Lingshan, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
Since these Bodhisattvas had come, they shouldn't leave.
Not only was it because they had helped Jingtai to attack him, but also because the destiny on Manjushri was what he needed. He didn't mind having more opportunities.
It would definitely be better to improve his cultivation again!
Who would dislike their own strength being low?
Also, his current strength was about enough. Even if Ye Xiangnan and Feng Jiuge and the others didn't make a move, relying on Jiang He, Lingxu, Qingxu, and Tianxu, it would be almost enough.
Honestly, his injuries weren't serious.
Moro had blocked it for him before, and later the power of the people was attached to him, but he also had a lot of resistance, and he wouldn't fall unconscious again like in Liangzhou City.
Of course, it was a pity that Moro wasn't there, otherwise it would have been even easier.
Jingtai's fall was not the end. On the contrary, it was the beginning of another great war!
The four Bodhisattvas of Lingshan were appetizers, and later...it was to seize the world!
