Chapter 1616: Adding Fuel to the Flames

If there is only one variable, Xie Fengyan's Wanyan magic can still calculate the approximate result - the uncalculated one is the only variable!

But when the number of variables increased to three, Xie Fengyan was unable to cope with it.

After three variables change once, there are eight changes...

Each of the eight changes will derive sixty-four hexagrams.

In Xie Fengyan's Wanyan magic, the changes of each variable are almost infinite, and therefore, three variables are enough to disrupt the entire Wanyan magic.

According to Xie Fengyan's previous calculations, after five years of recuperation, especially after the reconstruction of Tiandu City, the second southern expedition will be launched.

But in fact, the entire Tiandu City and Dutian Peak seem to be still.

The demon king Po Xun has been missing in Beiweizhou.

Xiao Mian cannot interfere with the decision of Dutian Peak.

Then there is only one possibility - the immortal Jinhong intervenes!

In a certain change that Xie Fengyan could not predict, the immortal Jinhong played a decisive role, so that Tiandu City's decision began to deviate from the track.

"According to Brother Xie: What should we do with the current situation?"

"Xie thinks: If we don't make a decision, we will suffer from the chaos! Since Brother Xiao is ready, the second southern expedition should be launched sooner rather than later!"

Xiao Mian nodded slightly after hearing this.

It's better to be early rather than later - this is exactly what Xiao Mian thought!

Before this, Xiao Mian was afraid that Tiandu City could not bear the humiliation of the first southern expedition and would launch the second southern expedition without stopping.

After all, for Tiandu City, most of the combat power lost in the first southern expedition was spiritual cultivation, and even the second southern expedition was mainly spiritual cultivation.

If this is true, it is hard to say whether Nanyuezhou can hold on.

Unexpectedly, at this point, Xiao Mian is ready, but Tiandu City is not in a hurry.

Or, Tiandu City intends to be fully prepared.

Or, it was the Immortal Jinhong who interfered.

No matter which possibility it was, Xiao Mian decided to cut the Gordian knot!

Tiandu City was not in a hurry, Xiao Mian had to add fuel to the fire!

Maybe, he could also provoke Immortal Jinhong and the Emperor of the Spirit World...

"Since Brother Xiao also thinks so, Xie knows what to do!"

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Jie!"

"Brother Xiao! Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back - take care!"

"Brother Jie! You too!"

After cutting off the connection with Jie Fengyan, Xiao Mian immediately rushed back to Duzun Mansion.

If nothing unexpected happens, Dutian Peak will set off a turbulent undercurrent...

Although Xiao Mian and Jie Fengyan did not make a specific plan, Xiao Mian roughly guessed what Jie Fengyan would do.

Immortal Jinhong, who took over the body of Taixu Zhenren, must be hiding in Sanqing Temple.

With the identity, status and cultivation of Immortal Jinhong, the entire Sanqing Temple must worship Immortal Jinhong as a god.

Now, it is difficult to enforce the orders of the Emperor of the Spiritual Realm.

The Emperor of the Spiritual Realm wants the immortal stone, and the Immortal Jinhong also wants the immortal stone.

The problem is: only one immortal stone!

This problem depends on how Sanqing Temple chooses...

Whether to choose to stand under the banner of Immortal Jinhong, or to choose to support the Emperor of the Spiritual Realm, Sanqing Temple must make a choice - at least, on the surface!

Immortal Jinhong, a lone man, but with amazing fighting power.

The Emperor of the Spiritual Realm, far away in the Spiritual Realm, has a large number of people and power.

The position of Sanqing Temple is not so easy to stand.

If it is not good, it will be neither inside nor outside, and it will not please both sides!

This is also one of the reasons why Dutian Peak dared not launch the southern expedition.

What Jie Fengyan has to do is to completely break this layer of window paper!

At that time, no matter how Sanqing Temple chooses, things will have a result.

On that night, the leader of the Nine Palaces Formation Sect, Zhen Tianzi, quietly broke through the night, left Dutian Peak, and headed north.

Thousands of miles north of Dutian Peak, there is a dangerous place called Moyun Cliff.

In Moyun Cliff, the mountain is as high as a sword, reaching into the sky, the spiritual energy is mixed, and the magnetic field is disordered. It has always been a famous dangerous place within the scope of Tiandu City.

In Moyun Cliff, there is a group of elite spiritual practitioners hidden.

This group of elite spiritual practitioners is Tianzhen Palace, one of the nine palaces under Renhuang Palace in the spiritual world. This Tianzhen Palace also uses formations and has some origins with the Nine Palaces Formation Sect.

This time, there are more than 20 spiritual practitioners from Tianzhen Palace in the lower world.

The leader is called Qi Liantian, who is discussing business with Zhen Tianzi in secret.

After a secret talk, Zhen Tianzi got up and said goodbye and returned to Dutian Peak.

Qi Liantian looked solemn and left Moyun Cliff.

To the east of Tiandu City, there is a natural barrier called Longtan Gorge.

Xiao Mian entered Tiandu City through Longtan Gorge.

Longtan Gorge is not long, only a hundred miles away.

However, above Longtan Gorge, there is a large group of forbidden systems inherited from ancient times - Nine Heavens Dragon Pattern Forbidden!

Within the Nine Heavens Dragon Pattern Forbidden Range, anyone who is not a Yuanying Ancestor will lose their way.

Even ordinary Yuanying Ancestors will feel dizzy in the Nine Heavens Dragon Pattern Forbidden Range, and therefore, the entire Longtan Gorge is regarded as a forbidden area.

At this time, Longtan Gorge has become the best gathering place for spiritual practitioners in the lower world!

Qi Liantian, who left Moyun Cliff, went straight to Longtan Gorge.

Just because, in Longtan Gorge, there are spiritual world cultivators directly under Renhuang Palace!

For this forbidden training, Renhuang Palace did not hesitate to send two hundred Tianzun cultivators!

These two hundred Tianzuns have been dormant in Longtan Gorge, just because the time has not come.

Besides, the leader of spiritual cultivation in the lower realm of Renhuang Palace is named Lingzhu.

The person Qi Liantian wanted to see was none other than the Renhuang Palace Lingzhu!

When the two met, Qi Liantian told everything about the emperor's words.

"This is a serious matter! I can't make good decisions! Fellow Taoist Qilian! You should go back to Moyun Cliff first and make all preparations! I will ask the Emperor Ren for instructions!"

"We have fellow Taoist Lao Lingzhu!"

"No!"

Seeing Qi Liantian retreat all the way, Lingzhuzi's expression turned cold.

snort!

What disgusting netherworld ants!

The benevolent emperor treated them with great kindness, but they still thought about changing their minds?

Thinking like this, Lingzhuzi took out a Lingzhu and held it in his palm.

The name of this object is the Amaterasu Spiritual Pearl. It is a magic weapon that the spirit bead has cultivated for hundreds of years. Not only is it extremely powerful, it can also communicate with the spirit world.

After activating the Amaterasu Lingzhu, the Lingzhu knelt on the ground with a pious look on his face.

The next moment, the Amaterasu Spiritual Pearl turned into a spiritual screen, and the figures on the spiritual screen were shaking.

"Lingzhu! Why are you looking for this emperor?"

"Master! Your Majesty's spiritual pearl disturbs Master's Qingxiu. You should be punished with death!"

Master—this spiritual bead is the next disciple of the Renhuang lineage!

Only with strong strength and deep connections can Lingzhu take on this important task.

After meeting Renhuang, Lingzhuzi truthfully told the news delivered by Qi Liantian.

When the benevolent emperor heard this, he remained silent for a long time.

"Really? I have heard about the Immortal Jin Hong, but I never expected that he would not hesitate to go down to the lower realms, and even sneak into the forbidden experience!"

"Master! That Immortal Jinhong seems to be coming for that thing too..."

"It doesn't matter! Although he is a golden immortal in the upper realm, since he voluntarily descends to the realm, he has to give up all his cultivation. In that world, he is at best a Nascent Soul monk. Even if he has some immortal methods, with the backup skills given by the emperor, , it’s enough to deal with it! It’s just that the Demon King Bo Xun doesn’t want to take it easy! It’s best to let them die together. If there is no other choice, there is no other choice but to kill the god if the god blocks it, and kill the devil if the devil blocks it!”

"Yes! Master has made great plans, and the Lingzhu is beyond reach. It's just..."

"But those ants in the lower world are wandering around?"

"……,yes!"

"Hmph! A dog can't change its habit of eating shit! I know what to do!"

"Yes! The spirit beads are presented to Master!"

"..."

The figure swayed and the spiritual curtain trembled.

Amaterasu Lingzhu reintegrated into Lingzhu's body and disappeared.

At the same time, in the sky outside the sky, in the Sanqing Temple, in the secret cave in the back mountain, inspiration suddenly appeared.

On the Haotian Mirror, spiritual light soared into the sky.

A person appeared in the Haotian Mirror, but this person was not the special envoy from the spirit world who contacted Master Shouzhen when the spiritual war started.

I saw this man with a nine-layered crown on his head, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, with frost on his temples, black silk hair, eyes like stars, and a resolute face.

If there are any monks from the spiritual world here who see this person, they will definitely call him - Benevolent Emperor!

Just because this person is Emperor Ren, one of the six overlords of the spiritual world!

As the master of Renhuang Palace and the leader of the Taoist sect in the spiritual world, Renhuang can be said to be the most powerful person in the entire spiritual world, and at the same time, he is also the person with the highest cultivation level in the spiritual world.

Regardless of status or strength, Emperor Ren is the number one person in the spiritual world!

The real person Shouzhen was lying on his face, his body was on the ground, and he was motionless.

"Disciple Shouzhen from the lower realm, pay your respects to Senior Renhuang!"

"Morality is through Xuanjing, and Zhen Changshou is Taiqing! Are you the eighth generation disciple?"

"Reporting to Senior Renhuang: Yes!"

"I would like to ask you this: Is there any whereabouts of such a thing?"

"Reporting to Senior Renhuang: Yes!"

"I ask you again: Is it possible to get something like that?"

"Reporting to Senior Renhuang: Yes!"

"Okay! The emperor will let the Taoist spiritual cultivator fully cooperate with all your actions. You must bring that thing intact to the emperor!" Looking at Master Shouzhen, Renhuang said: "If this is done! I, the emperor Guarantee you: Ascend to the spiritual world!”

"Thank you, Senior Renhuang! It's just...the Immortal from the Upper Realm..."

"The Immortal from the Upper Realm? Since he has gone down to the lower realm, where did he come from? Don't worry! Even the Nine Heavens Golden Immortal will be restricted by the power of the laws of heaven and earth when he enters the spiritual world. Naturally, he will not be immune when he enters your heaven and earth! He may have some immortal methods, but the elites of this emperor’s faction also have a trump card! To say the least, even if he can successfully return to the spiritual world, it’s still a question of whether he can successfully return to the immortal world! "

"Senior Renhuang's divine power, Shouzhen really can't even think about it!"

"Shou Zhen! Just do your own thing! When you should do something, just do it; when you should do something, just do it!"

"Yes! Shou Zhen takes orders!"

"Remember! You may be the first person to ascend after the ban! Of course, you may also be the first person from the lower world to be killed by this emperor!" Staring at Master Shouzhen closely, Emperor Ren said calmly: "I The emperor has given you enough face! It’s up to you to choose which path you want to take. Don’t blame me for not predicting your death!”

"Yes! Shouzhen must remember the teachings of Senior Renhuang!"

From the beginning to the end, Shouzhen Zhenren always bowed to the ground and did not dare to move.

The most powerful person in this world, in front of the most powerful person in the spiritual world, is as humble as a dog - at least the dog can wag its tail!

The inspiration flashed on the Haotian Mirror, but Master Shouzhen did not stand up.

Just because, wherever the spiritual light passed, there was another person in the secret cave.

Master Taixu!

The Taixu Master at this time is no longer the Taixu Master before.

On that day, there was a chaotic battle in Tiandu City, and after fighting against Long Mu and the Demon King Bo Xun, the immortal Jin Hong's immortal body collapsed and the immortal spirit came out of the body.

Immortal Jin Hong once wanted to seize Xiao Bailing's Taoist Immortal Body, but he couldn't.

In desperation, the Immortal Jin Hong retreated and sought the next best thing, taking over the body of Taixu Zhenren.

This Master Taixu was originally the Taoist innate Taoist embryo spawned by the secret of Sanqing Temple. Only in this way can he make great progress and achieve Nascent Soul early.

Unexpectedly, when things came to an end, Immortal Jinhong was actually given the advantage...

Besides, after these years, Immortal Jinhong has passed the running-in period of seizing the body and has completely mastered the innate Tao embryo of Master Taixu.

Flashing here is absolutely unusual.

In other words, Immortal Jin Hong heard clearly the orders issued by the Ren Emperor.

"Senior Benevolent Emperor, you are indeed very courageous! As a mere ant in the lower realm, you dare to plan my retreat. This is really a crime worthy of death!"

"Immortal atones! The old slave deserves to die!"

"Oh? What's the real crime?"

"this……"

"A dragon swims in shallow water and is tricked by shrimps; a tiger falls flat and is bullied by dogs. A successful cat is more powerful than a tiger; a fallen phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken! Real person! Do you think I look like a chicken?"

"How dare I blaspheme the immortal?"

"Hmph! It's best if you don't dare! Don't learn from your senior Benevolent Emperor! Thinking that he has control of the spiritual world, he will be lawless? Not to mention that he has not yet transcended the tribulation and ascended. Even if he successfully ranks in the Immortal Class, I still have a lot. How to demote him to the mortal world!"

"The old slave is scared! The old slave doesn't dare! The old slave..."

"Don't say that these things are available! I have to decide on such things! What's so good about the spiritual world? Even if you ascend to the spiritual world, don't you have to pass the test and ascend to the fairy world? This time as long as you help me Sir, I will not treat you badly! I have an abandoned fairy cave in the spiritual world. As long as you can get this fairy cave, you will be my successor, and I will guide you!"

"Thank you for your favor, Immortal! This old slave is going to be totally devastated and I will not give up even if I die!"

"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments! If you have merit, you should be rewarded! But if your hands are empty, don't blame me - I am ruthless!"

If the words go too far, the real person Taixu will disappear.

At this point, Master Shouzhen dared to stand up.

After a long time, Master Shouzhen sneered...

From this day on, the general trend of the world changed.

The first one to bear the brunt was Qin County.

A large number of Taoist spiritual cultivators poured into Qin County, concentrated their superior forces, defeated the few with more, and bullied the weak, driving the ghost Taoist spiritual cultivators and Buddhist spiritual cultivators out of Qin County.

In the huge Qin County, except for Xianyang City and some surrounding places, the great rivers and mountains in other places have fallen into the hands of Taoism Spiritual Cultivators.

During this period, Ghost Spirituality and Buddhist Spirituality even tried to give up their feud and join forces to fight against Daoist Spirituality, but in the end they were outnumbered.

The Buddhist spiritual cultivators withdrew to Western Shu Prefecture; the ghost spiritual cultivators moved all the way south.

At this point, the journey from Tiandu City to Huaxia Territory to Qin County is smooth!

This front is the only way for Tiandu City to conquer South Vietnam.

After quelling the rebellion in Qin County, Taoist Spiritual Cultivator left some of his men to guard Qin County, and turned his army to go north to fight in Yan County in the north.

At this time, Yan County was in the middle of a battle between Northern Wei State and Zhongzhou.

Hundreds of sects of spiritual cultivation are like divine soldiers descending from heaven.

Like destroying the dead, they pushed the front all the way north from the hinterland of Yan County, directly to the Beicangyuan line.

When they arrived at Beicangyuan, Taoist Spiritual Cultivators stopped their offensive.

Beicangyuan is originally the junction line between Northern Wei Prefecture and Zhongzhou. Taoist spiritual cultivators have not invaded Northern Wei Prefecture. If Northern Wei Prefecture goes south again, the population will be settled.

Some manpower was left to guard Yan County, and the Taoist spiritual cultivator army moved to Qi County again - Qi County had never seen any fighting!

Even so, Dao Sect Spiritual Cultivator still left some troops behind.

In the end, the Taoist spiritual cultivator army came to Chu County.

In the middle of Chu County and Tiandu City, there is the Yin Shang Realm.

For this reason, Taoist spiritual cultivators deployed troops along the Yin Shang territory.

At this point, the intention of Taoist spiritual cultivation is obvious.

It is said that to fight against foreign forces, one must first settle the domestic affairs. Taoist Spiritual Cultivator moved around and pacified Qin County, preserved Yan County, guarded Qi County, and intimidated Chu County!

Coupled with this, the land of the Three Realms was also temporarily silent.

In the huge Zhongzhou, except for Chu County, which has always been autonomous, the other six counties, three borders and eighty-one cities have become monolithic.

At least, that's what it seems on the surface...

At this point, the internal environment of the second southern expedition became mature.

On the ninth day of September that year, the Double Ninth Festival, a treasure ship appeared out of the sky.

This treasure ship, called the Divine Light, is something from the spiritual world.

Unlike the Lingxi and Lingchen, the Shenguang is a heaven-level treasure ship!

One hundred spiritual world gods all boarded the Shenguang.

The Shenguang slowly took off and accelerated slowly towards the southwest.

Finally, the Divine Light transformed into a divine light and disappeared.

Wherever the divine light passed, there was nothing, only the strong wind, and chaos in time and space.

The strong winds from all directions continued to swirl for a long time.

With Xiao Mian's encouragement, Tiandu City finally sent troops to South Vietnam again after six years and carried out the second southern expedition.

The wind arises from the end of Green Apple!

The rain is about to come, and the wind is blowing all over the building...
