Chapter 977 Persistence

Tan Lang accepted the thanks and said, "We will set up the formation. When the formation is completed, we will leave the formation diagram and the spell to you. You can go and rest. Don't worry about us."

Zhang Pa saw that he really couldn't take care of them, so he bowed and said goodbye, put away more than a hundred Fu Shen Snakes, and went to Zhan Yun to visit Yuan Ying.

Nearly 500 Yuan Ying masters died in a battle during the day. Even the wealthy Tianlei Mountain could not afford this loss. Zhang Pa had to find a way to let all these Yuan Yings take over. But before that, he had to save the Yuan Ying's life.

Going straight up to the top of the mountain, Zhan Yun stood with his hands behind his back. Seeing him coming up, he said in a low voice: "You're back." Zhang Pa replied: "You're back." Zhan Yun stepped aside and said: "In the room." Zhang Pa nodded, walked over and pushed the door open.

Behind the door was a room full of Yuan Yings, some high, some low, some sitting, some floating, all meditating. Seeing the door open and Zhang Pa walk in, all the Yuanyings bowed and greeted him: "Hello, Master (Uncle)."

Zhang Pa waved his hand and said: "This battle has implicated you." He leaned forward and bowed. When the battle started, they rushed to the front, and did not retreat in the face of the demon soldiers, fighting with their lives. In any case, they deserved his bow.

The Yuanyings quickly stepped aside, not daring to stand in front of Zhang Pa. One Yuanying said: "The disciple was already waiting to die. Master brought him out from the Refining Valley, helped him to seize the body, and gave him countless elixirs to quickly improve his cultivation. Such a great favor can never be guaranteed. We are just dying for Master once."

The words were straightforward, especially the last sentence, which showed that he had confidence in Zhang Pa and would definitely find a body for them to seize again, and provide elixirs to continue practicing. From a certain perspective, it can be regarded as a request made by the Yuanying to Zhang Pa.

Zhang Pa heard this and nodded slightly, saying, "No matter what, I have to thank you for your bravery and sacrifice in this siege of Tianlei Mountain. Come with me for now, and we'll talk about the future later."

The Yuanyings agreed and automatically entered the big walnut on Zhang Pa's chest to rest.

After collecting all 593 Yuanyings, Zhang Pa pushed the door open and walked out. Zhan Yun asked with a wooden face, "What should we do in the future?" Zhang Pa asked curiously, "What should we do?" Zhan Yun said, "What if the demon soldiers come again?" Zhang Pa replied, "They won't come again."

Zhan Yun said, "Oh," and said to the bottom of the mountain, "Disperse." As he spoke, 140 cultivators appeared, saluted Zhang Pa, and left.

Zhang Pa remembered something and said to Zhan Yun, "I'm going down." Zhan Yun nodded and said yes, but immediately asked a question, "What if there are strong enemies surrounding the mountain again?"

This worry is right. At the beginning, Zhang Pa was the number one in the world, and countless top-level masters came to fight him; later, he became a god, and there were demon soldiers surrounding the mountain again. Who knows if there will be no strong enemies in the future.

Zhang Pa wanted to say that there would be no more, but then he thought, nothing is absolute, what if the masters of the God Realm come to surround the mountain? He said with a sigh: "People should always make decisions for themselves when they are alive, and they should always be responsible for themselves. They can't rely on anyone."

There was a coldness in his words, but it was full of concern. He said that people should be responsible for themselves, so why should you, Zhang Pa, run around and keep busy for the people of Tianlei Mountain? But in other words, most of the disasters in Tianlei Mountain were caused by Zhang Pa. From this perspective, the disciples in the mountain have to be scared several times for nothing, and even lose their lives. It is a bit unfair to them.

Zhang Pa naturally knew all this, sighed and continued: "Tianlei Mountain is really full of disasters. If possible, I really want to disband the sect and let everyone be free, without having to worry like now. Speaking of it, I should be responsible for them. No matter what happens in the future, I will always try my best to protect everyone."

Zhan Yun was stunned. Zhang Pa wanted to disband Tianlei Mountain? What kind of idea is this? I am worried, so you don't have to give up if I ask one more question. If you disband Tianlei Mountain, what will happen to tens of thousands of low-level disciples? Who will help them when they are bullied? He hurriedly said, "When disciples become disciples, they must assume the responsibilities they should fulfill as disciples. They cannot just rush to come when they see good things and turn around and run away when they see danger. What is this? Since they chose to come to Tianlei Mountain, they should be responsible for their own choices. No one forced them to come. Everything is their own decision." Zhang Pa looked at him and chuckled, "Don't comfort me. I won't disband Tianlei Mountain. It's just that sometimes I feel that there are too many things to do. I try to be lazy but there are always things that are not finished. That's when I have a weird idea. Anyway, since I am standing here, I must persist." There are no inspiring words, just two faint words, persistence, which fully show what Zhang Pa thinks. These two words require countless efforts and willpower to achieve. Zhan Yun knew that Zhang Pa had a hard time and was bullied for no reason. He was also one of the people who hunted him down. He smiled and said, "I can accompany you for another hundred years." Zhang Pa also smiled: "Thank you." Zhan Yun shook his head and said, "Compared to what you gave me, I really haven't done anything." Zhang Pa said seriously: "You can stay in Tianlei Mountain, which is the greatest help to me." Zhan Yun felt very warm in his heart, but waved his hand and said, "Let's go quickly, stop pretending." Zhang Pa nodded: "Then I'm leaving." After saying that, he floated down the mountain.

On the way down the mountain, Zhang Pa thought about the Vermillion Bird and Azure Dragon. Legend has it that they are divine beasts, but because their souls were taken away from the weapon, their cultivation was infinitely suppressed. They fought in the daytime and were beaten by the Night Guard. Compared with Huo'er, who also has the body of the soul, the two guys are not superior in strength. He wondered if he could free the two guys from the spiritual weapon, and then sign a heart contract, so that they could be put into the body like Xiao Huo'er, and then have the help of the God's Tears... Thinking of the God's Tears, Zhang Pa sighed. The God's Tears were empty, and he had to take some time to visit the Five Spirits Blessed Land.

With random thoughts in his mind, he kept walking and soon came to the Tianlei Mountain Hall. He asked the disciples, Ruiyuan was not there, saying that he personally erected a monument for the disciples who died in this battle. Zhang Pa sighed again, I really messed around in vain, forgetting such an important thing.

Asked for the direction, and flew to the other peak. Soon he found Ruiyuan in a beautiful place. He and more than a hundred disciples of the sect were digging pits and carving monuments seriously. It is said that cultivators do not need to be so troublesome after death, but Rui Yuan believes that these people took the initiative to meet the enemy to protect their fellow disciples, and sacrificed their lives for the sect, so they should leave their names and build a place to rest.

These hundreds of monuments are all Jindan cultivators, and Yuanying cultivators can take over their bodies, so they are not considered dead.

Rui Yuan was busy, and found that Zhang Pa took the initiative to find him. He guessed that there was something, so he greeted him and asked: "Uncle, is there anything?"

Zhang Pa said: "Nothing, just to inform you that the Refining God Temple in the Fog Valley is gone, and I won't go to the trial."

"Gone?" Rui Yuan was stunned: "Why is it gone?"

The Refining God Temple is only useful for Jindan cultivators, and it is possible to break through and advance after entering. Excluding the weird Tianlei Mountain, Jindan cultivators are the backbone of all cultivation sects. The more Jindan cultivators there are, the stronger the sect is. Rui Yuan originally wanted to take all the Jindan disciples to have a good time and make more preparations for it. Who knew that such a magical existence as the Refining God Temple could just disappear? Let his wish come to nothing.

Hearing this news, he was disappointed, confused, and a little shocked, which made up Ruiyuan's mood at the moment. He sighed and said, "It's gone." He asked Zhang Pa, "Is there anything else?" Zhang Pa said, "No." Ruiyuan went to work on the stone tablet.

Zhang Pa didn't expect that the disappearance of the Refining God Temple would have such a big impact on Ruiyuan. Seeing him busy, he felt a little bit reluctant.

The reason for Ruiyuan's disappointment is very simple. He is the head of the sect. He doesn't love power or fame, but he must make some achievements to live up to the title of head of the sect. Since he became the head of the sect, many disciples have been helped by Zhang Pa to quickly improve their cultivation, such as Hei Zhan and Li Zhan. Ruiyuan also wanted to help others improve their cultivation, so he set his goal on the Refining God Temple. He originally planned to take all the new Jindan disciples to the temple together, and he believed that there would be a good result.

But the Refining God Temple was gone. For Ruiyuan, who had been preparing for a long time, he was naturally disappointed. It was the first time he wanted to take people, and it was also the first time he could take people to the Refining God Temple. Unfortunately, even the first time could not be realized.

Zhang Pa didn't understand Rui Yuan's mentality. He thought that this good man was disappointed that his disciples lost the opportunity to break through and advance. He rummaged through his storage bag, took out a bunch of pills for Rui Yuan, and then ran away.

It was time to go and see the buildings on the mountain. Zhang Pa had just flown into the sky when Tan Lang led six visitors from the heaven to greet him and said, "The divine formation has been set up."

Zhang Pa asked in surprise, "So fast?" Tan Lang explained in a tactful tone, "Due to the limitations of the terrain, a high-level divine formation cannot be set up here, otherwise it will be difficult to control. At present, this divine formation is the strongest divine formation that is set up based on multiple conditions such as the terrain. You can try it out. Here are the spells and formation diagrams. Please accept them."

What he said was tactful and obscure, but Zhang Pa understood it. He was saying that with your level of cultivation, you can only master this level of formation. You can't play with more advanced ones, so just make do with it.

Zhang Pa thanked him and took the formation diagram and spells. He used his spiritual sense to look at it for a while. After understanding the function of the formation, he activated the spells and saw a neon rising between heaven and earth. The four directions were filled with silver rain-like brilliance. After a crisp sound of bell music, the formation was activated.

This formation was many times stronger than the formation that Tan Lang had made last time. However, because the formation diagrams and spells of the two formations were similar, Zhang Pa was able to control it easily. He quickly put away the formation diagram and spells and bowed respectfully to Tan Lang and the other seven people: "Thank you, seven adults."

Tan Lang said: "Don't thank me. The lord ordered this, and we are just following his orders. Now the formation is complete. We'll take our leave." After saying that, he bowed to Zhang Pa, which was very rare, and left with his men.

Zhang Pa saw them off respectfully, and then went to find Bu Kong. He wanted to thank the five monks of the Holy Country for coming to help out of righteousness. After finding Bukong, Bukong replied: "The five masters are in retreat, and I can't go in."

I was injured today and didn't know when the retreat would end. Zhang Pa said: "If I am on the mountain when the five masters come out of retreat, please notify me. If I am not there, please say thank you for me." Bukong agreed, and Zhang Pa left again.
