When the Snipe and the Clam Fight, the Fisherman Wins
Chapter 1756: The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits
The ancestral temple and the heavenly palace collapsed completely. Huang Tang, Li Shu and Yan Xiu Pavilion were so bloodthirsty that they killed the Lord of Huanxi Palace and Emperor Haotian, forcing them to flee to the heavenly army where the Emperor and Empress were.
The survivors of the Heavenly Army were all strong men. The Emperor and Empress personally led the army to come to the rescue and formed a battle formation to block the three elders of Fengshu.
As the goddess of Guixu, the empress naturally had extraordinary strength. She personally fought against Li Shu and planted Guixu in Li Shu's body, almost completely devouring the old man's vitality and avenue.
Huang Tang and Yan Xiu Ge worked together to resolve Guixu's magical power and rescued Li Shu. They became furious and mobilized thousands of prehistoric warriors to kill the 700,000 gods and demons in heaven.
The Emperor and Empress were unable to reverse the decline of Heaven and were forced to retreat to the ancestral capital, Yujing City.
The three elders of Fengshu led the prehistoric strongmen to slaughter along the way. The army of Heaven suffered countless casualties. When they arrived at the ancestral court, Yujing City, there were only 200,000 people left.
Even the Emperor and Empress, as well as Emperor Haotian, felt the despair brought about by the desperate situation.
The ancestral temple, Yujing City, only seems to be located in the ancestral temple, but in fact it spans across the destruction catastrophes of one cosmic era after another. In fact, there is no enlightened person from the Miluo Palace in Yujing City who has truly descended to the seventeenth era.
They must undergo blood sacrifice and mass-energy replacement before they can descend into the Seventeenth Age.
The Lord of Joy Palace can be said to be the only enlightened being who descended into the seventeenth century, but he was severely injured by Shang Jun just after he came in.
The ancestral capital, Yujing City, is just a ruin.
The city seems to have thousands of palaces and halls, and seems to be a forest of Taoist trees. It seems strange and unpredictable, but in fact no one who has achieved enlightenment can walk out of this city.
They are all still in the process of destruction.
The Emperor, Empress and Emperor Haotian led the remaining troops into the city to hide. The three elders of Fengshu were blood-thirsty and led the prehistoric warriors into the city. Unexpectedly, they suffered heavy casualties when they entered the city, and all kinds of strange events occurred frequently, making the prehistoric warriors who broke in not even knowing how they died.
The three elders of Fengshu had no choice but to withdraw from Yujing City.
Emperor Haotian was able to catch his breath, but saw that the three elders of Fengshu had set up a large sealing formation outside the city and established an altar, preparing to refine Yujing City.
"The three elders of Fengshu really don't know how to live or die!"
The Joyful Palace Master couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Emperor of Heaven, please come with me to cross the river and ask to see the young master. I was seriously injured by Shang Jun and was hit by the killing music of Yue Tianzun. The young master must take action to heal the wound. The young master's magical power is mysterious and mysterious. It is easy for him to kill the three elders of Fengshu."
Emperor Haotian said yes, and said: "I was cut down from the realm of Daluo Heaven by Yun Tianzun. I no longer have the Dao tree and Dao flower, nor Daluo Heaven. Can the Palace Master say a few good words in front of the Third Young Master so that I can recover my cultivation realm?"
The Joyful Palace Master glanced at him and said with a half-smile, "Emperor of Heaven, who in the Miro Palace has not struggled under the threat of death? Everyone in the Miro Palace has experienced more than one setback in their life, and some have even experienced more setbacks than you! They can return to Daluo Heaven and cultivate Dao Flowers and Dao Fruits, but you can't?"
Emperor Haotian said in a hoarse voice: "They have never experienced such a setback as mine! I have experienced two ups and downs in my life. I became stronger after each time, but the third defeat is different. Before this defeat, I was at the pinnacle of power and in a good situation. However, it was destroyed by Yun Tianzun and Mu Tianzun, and everything turned into nothing! I couldn't keep my heaven, my power, and even my cultivation realm! In everyone's eyes, I am just a joke, a laughing stock!"
The Joyful Palace Master looked at his dejected and somewhat crazy demeanor, shook his head and said, "This is the drawback of cultivating the Dao without cultivating the mind. Heavenly Emperor, you only have power in your heart, but you don't have such a strong attainment in the Dao Heart. If you cultivate the Dao Heart, even if you experience a setback a hundred times more fierce than now, you can still make a comeback. In this world, the person who has suffered the greatest setbacks is actually the teacher, the master of the Miro Palace."
Emperor Haotian was slightly startled, then shook his head and said, "The master of Miro Palace is the strongest person in the seventeen cosmic eras. How could he suffer such a setback?"
"The teacher has the world in his heart and wants to save all living beings. In terms of martial arts, no one can match him. However, every time a catastrophe is destroyed, it is a great setback for the teacher."
The Joy Hall Master taught earnestly: "Every time there was a catastrophe, he wanted to save the world, but he failed every time. He had boundless power, but he could only watch the world die in front of him, making his power useless. That kind of pain is beyond your imagination. But after every setback, the teacher's heart of Taoism was reborn and his fighting spirit was rekindled. This is what a strong heart of Taoism does."
Emperor Haotian asked: "Where is the master of Miro Palace now?"
The Joyful Hall Master fell silent.
After experiencing sixteen setbacks, the master of the Miro Palace finally became devastated and his Taoist heart died.
"If the teacher was here, so many things wouldn't have happened in the Seventeenth Century, and the Miro Palace wouldn't have been blocked until now and couldn't descend into the Seventeenth Century."
She sighed secretly and came to the Chaos River with Emperor Haotian.
In the long river, the chaotic energy was constantly turbulent, and the waves were surging, more violent than before.
The Joyful Palace Master was surprised and activated her Dao Tree to still the wind of heat death and the stirring chaotic energy. At this moment, she saw the Third and Fourth Young Masters of the Miro Palace and other Palace Masters of the Miro Palace.
These powerful men from the Miro Palace were in the midst of a catastrophe and were looking in one direction.
The Lord of the Happy Palace came forward with Emperor Haotian, hurriedly greeted them, and said, "Happy is incompetent and failed to fulfill the trust of the young master and fellow Taoists."
The Third Young Master raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite. The defeat in this battle is not your fault. This time, three people from the Miro Palace descended to the seventeenth era, and you are the only one who survived. Surviving is your credit, and then you can do the things that come later. If there are other variables this time, even if you can preside over the grand sacrifice, it will be in vain."
The Joyful Palace Master was puzzled.
The Third Young Master Ling Xiao had a solemn expression on his face and said in a deep voice: "This change is something that even Zi Xiao and I did not expect. The old thing under the World Tree is alive."
The Joyful Palace Master was slightly shocked and did not dare to say much. She had heard that the old man under the World Tree was also sought for advice by the Master of the Miro Palace. He was extremely mysterious!
Later, the owner of Miro Palace seemed to have noticed something and gradually distanced himself from the old man under the tree.
She followed the gazes of the crowd, her heart beating violently, and she cried out in a lost voice, "Second Young Master!"
Emperor Haotian also looked hurriedly, and saw that in the long river of chaos, there was a river surface that stood up, as steep as a wall. There, two lotus leaves and a lotus flower were floating on the cliff-like river surface.
The lotus leaves and lotus flowers are extremely large, and you can vaguely see the roots of the lotus penetrating into the chaotic river to absorb energy!
The roots are very thin, with thousands of them, and the lotus nodes are very long, but there are only two of them, like a monster lurking in the river.
"That's not the Second Young Master Wuji, but the Seventh Young Master Hun Dun."
The fourth young master Zixiao said calmly: "If it was the second young master, his strength would be much more terrifying than this."
The other hall masters' faces changed slightly and they remained silent. It was obvious that they all remembered the terrifying nature of Second Young Master Wuji.
"Seventh Young Master Chaos?"
Emperor Haotian shuddered: "Mu Tianzun! Has his strength become so strong?"
In addition to the Guixu Lotus, they also saw the vision of the World Tree. The World Tree was not as huge as they had imagined, but it was also very large. It was many times larger than the Guixu Lotus and was attacking the Guixu Lotus, putting the lotus in danger.
"The one competing with Old Seven is the old monster under the World Tree, Old Man Wu Ya."
The Third Young Master said, "He was transformed from the World Tree. He is extremely powerful and has a profound knowledge base. The teacher respected him very much back then, but we later parted ways. This time our blood sacrifice was disrupted because of him."
He turned around and wiped off the ultimate killing intent and the remnants of Shang Jun's killing dao from the wound of the Joyful Hall Master, and said indifferently: "He was still alive after death, and stole the energy of the blood sacrifice for his own use. As a result, most of the six billion years of blood sacrifice in the seventeenth era were intercepted by him. This is why it is so difficult for the Enlightened Ones of the Miro Palace to descend. Now that he has been resurrected and the World Tree has been reborn, as the number of Enlightened Ones in the seventeenth era increases, his strength will slowly recover."
Emperor Haotian suddenly came to his senses.
The main reason why old man Wu Ya under the World Tree released so many prehistoric strongmen was to let these prehistoric strongmen achieve enlightenment in the seventeenth century!
Old Man Wu Ya was transformed from the World Tree, and the Tao Tree of the enlightened ones imitates the World Tree. The more enlightened ones there are, the faster Old Man Wu Ya's strength will recover!
In the seventeenth era universe, after the Yankang Reform, the changes in Taoism and magical powers have undergone a qualitative change, especially after the new generation of Heavenly Masters such as Lan Yutian and Xu Shenghua created and perfected the ancestral Taoist system. To achieve Taoism, one does not need to rely on the outside or the void, but achieves Taoism from within, analyzes the root of the World Tree, and cultivates the World Tree within the body.
If Yankang gains the upper hand and spreads this method of achieving enlightenment throughout the world, and there are no people who achieve enlightenment by cultivating the Dao tree and relying on the void in the future, then old man Wuya’s cultivation would probably come to an end here.
The power of Miro Palace is too strong, and the young masters are the top existences in each cosmic era. Old Man Wu Ya cannot control this power and let Miro Palace descend to the seventeenth era. He will only become a vassal of Miro Palace.
That is why he intercepted the energy from the blood sacrifice of the Third Young Master Ling Xiao and protected a group of prehistoric warriors to smuggle into the Seventeenth Epoch.
These prehistoric warriors often have combat power at the level of Heavenly Master, and are only one step away from achieving enlightenment.
When they achieve enlightenment in the seventeenth century, Old Man Wu Ya's strength will continue to increase, and he will eventually dominate the seventeenth century!
"There are three parties in this game."
The fourth son Zixiao said slowly, "There is the Wuya elder, the Miro Palace, and the Yankang led by the seventh son. Among the three, Yankang is the weakest, and the Miro Palace is the strongest. However, because the Miro Palace is in the midst of the destruction, it cannot descend to the seventeenth era, so the power it can exert is the smallest."
The Third Young Master said, “Old Man Wu Ya is able to exert the greatest power. After he defeats Old Seven and sends him to the past, he will be able to dominate the Seventeenth Epoch and prevent the Miro Palace from ever coming.”
Emperor Haotian's heart was pounding: "In the three-way battle, Lord Mu Tian has no chance of winning. He can't beat the other two anyway. As the saying goes, rare goods are valuable. This old man Wu Ya seems to have a better future than the Mi Luo Palace. If I join old man Wu Ya and get his support..."
Suddenly, his mind buzzed and he remembered something: Is he really the rare treasure that old man Wuya needs?
Old Man Wuya has the support of so many powerful prehistoric men, he doesn’t need me at all!
Now he has nothing except two hundred thousand defeated soldiers from Heaven!
Old Man Wu Ya wouldn't even look at myself like this!
The only one I can rely on is Miro Palace!
His forehead was covered with sweat. He had been completely tied to the interests of the Miro Palace and could not escape.
"However, the power of Old Seven should not be underestimated."
Third Young Master Ling Xiao said calmly, "Taiyi, the remnant of Tiandu, once cut down the World Tree, suppressed Elder Wuya, and blocked the stowaways alone, blocking the arrival of the Miro Palace for 6 billion years. After the seventh child grew up, he left the World Tree and challenged the teacher, and was beaten down to the Fourth Epoch by the teacher. In the Sixteenth Epoch, he was suppressed by the Great Senior Brother. The Great Senior Brother was like a dragon that disappeared after suppressing Taiyi, and not long ago, the Great Senior Brother came back."
The other hall masters' faces changed drastically, and they looked at each other, feeling worried in their hearts.
"The return of Senior Brother Taishang means that Taiyi has escaped."
The fourth son Zixiao said, "Old Seven is fighting with Old Man Wuya, so he is definitely not his opponent. After Taiyi escapes, he will definitely not sit idly by. In history, Old Seven's attitude towards Taiyi has always been ambiguous, and he is also flirting with the Blasphemer. The relationship between them is suspicious. Taiyi must have rescued him, and the moment Taiyi rescued him..."
He and the Third Young Master Ling Xiao looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"That was the moment when we severely injured Old Man Wu Ya, severely injured Tai Yi, and sent Old Seven back to the past!"
