As Chen Yuan pondered, he suddenly noticed a subtle change in the outside world, and a smile quickly appeared on his face.

He basically guessed the situation.

Sure enough, when Chen Yuan walked out of the Spiritual Mountain Secret Realm, the power of the laws of heaven and earth had manifested in the void, like a spider web covering the void.

It exuded terrifying power!

Mora was breaking through!

At this time, it had reached the most critical moment.

Golden light enveloped the heavens and the earth, turning hundreds of miles into a Buddha realm.

Mora sat cross-legged in the void, his face filled with a compassionate smile, his eyes closed, as if he had already fallen asleep, and the sounds of Buddhist chants filled the heavens and the earth.

A feeling like a spring breeze swept through everyone on Spiritual Mountain.

Led by the Jishi Bodhisattva, hundreds of disciples of Mahayana Buddhism sat down cross-legged and began to recite scriptures, making the Buddhist sounds in the heavens and the earth even more magnificent.

Chen Yuan, however, stared solemnly at this scene.

His breakthrough to Earth Immortal was bound to be somewhat different from Mora's breakthrough, but it could still serve as a reference, so he was naturally reluctant to miss this good opportunity.

For those who have not yet comprehended the rules, observing the enlightenment of a Earth Immortal is undoubtedly a great opportunity. He even regretted letting Yang Huatian and others return to the Central Plains.

Otherwise, they could also share in the blessings.

The grand Buddhist sounds continued for a full half day, and the manifestation of the rules also lasted for half a day. At this moment, the heavens and the earth seemed to have transformed into a divine realm.

Mora in the void slowly opened his eyes and said loudly:

"This poor monk once made a great vow that he would not become a Buddha until hell was empty. Now, Spiritual Mountain has changed the world, Buddhism is united, hell is empty, this poor monk... should become a Buddha."

As soon as the words fell, in an instant, heavenly flowers rained down, and golden lotuses gushed from the earth.

......

At the same time, a soaring aura swept through the heavens and the earth, shaking the mortal realm. A ten-thousand-zhang golden body rose from the ground, standing above the void, overlooking the mortal realm.

Earth Immortal!

Today, Mora entered the Earth Immortal Realm!

The Jishi Bodhisattva said in a deep voice:

"Disciple congratulates Bodhisattva on becoming a Buddha!"

"Disciple congratulates Bodhisattva on becoming a Buddha!"

"Disciple congratulates..."

"Greetings to Ksitigarbha Buddha!"

"Greetings to Ksitigarbha Buddha!"

"Greetings to Ksitigarbha..."

All the disciples of Spiritual Mountain, led by the Jishi Bodhisattva, shouted in unison, congratulating Mora on becoming a Buddha.

The rules in the void gradually disappeared, and the violent heaven and earth vitality slowly returned to calm. The towering ten-thousand-zhang golden body was also slowly dissipating. Before long, the heavens and the earth returned to silence.

Mora, wearing a golden kasaya, solemn and dignified, walked down from the void step by step, golden lotuses blooming beneath his feet, forming a staircase.

"Congratulations, Senior, on breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm and attaining longevity!"

Chen Yuan cupped his hands and smiled faintly.

The lifespan of Earth Immortals far exceeds that of Human Immortals. After all, they have undergone another Yuan Shen refinement, enough to exceed a thousand years, and even reach nearly sixteen hundred years.

This was what Lu Chengfeng had told Chen Yuan before.

When cultivation reaches a certain level, one can vaguely sense one's own lifespan.

"This time, the state of mind is complete, with no more shortcomings, so I can cultivate to this realm." A smile also appeared on Mora's face. Heavenly Immortal was still far away for him.

To be able to catch up with the former Buddha was his lifelong pursuit.

Now, he had finally achieved it!

Chen Yuan was not only happy for Mora, but also happy for himself. In this way, he had another Earth Immortal expert on his side, which was a great help to him.

Even if he attacked the Immortal Realm in the future, it would be of great use.

As for now.

Counting him, there were three Earth Immortal combat powers.

In this mortal world, who could be his enemy?

The next step would be easier, just push straight through.

The Northern Barbarians and the Southern Border would no longer be opponents.

And the power he had gathered even surpassed that of the Chu Taizu a thousand years ago!

......

After Mora's breakthrough, he lectured for three days, starting from the martial arts foundation-building realm all the way up to the Earth Immortal realm, going into every detail, attracting countless Western Region martial artists to come.

Praising Ksitigarbha Buddha as truly great compassion.

And he himself also gained a lot, after all, lecturing is also reviewing one's own cultivation. Although it is useless if done too many times, the first lecture is still very beneficial.

After the lecture, the forces in the Western Regions finally felt at ease with the new Spiritual Mountain. As long as they were not extorted more terribly than the previous Spiritual Mountain, it would be fine.

They went to pay tribute one after another.

Mora's prestige even surpassed that of the former Tathagata Buddha.

His wish was finally fulfilled.

In addition, Mora also invited Chen Yuan into the secret realm for a chat, and told Chen Yuan everything about his understanding of the Earth Immortal realm and the situation during his breakthrough.

Hoping that he could avoid some detours.

Even if it wasn't very useful, it was still somewhat helpful.

Chen Yuan gladly accepted it and thanked Mora for his generosity.

At the same time, he also spoke out his own insights without reservation.

Although he was only in the middle stage of the Human Immortal realm, his combat power was different, enough to rival the late stage of the Earth Immortal realm. He himself had experience in fighting with several Earth Immortal experts.

Not only that, he had even fought with Heavenly Immortals.

Naturally, he would have some insights.

After all, the way of battle is always the best way to gain experience.

And his frank discussion also benefited Mora a lot. Before he broke through to Earth Immortal, he might not have been able to understand some things, but now, he indeed had some insights.

This discussion lasted for another half month.

Both Chen Yuan and Mora benefited greatly and gained some fortune.

Chen Yuan and Mora were now basically on the same level, and only when they reached a certain realm could they understand some of the Dao being discussed. This was also why Lu Chengfeng only gave them pointers in the past.

There was no real discussion.

Chen Yuan's injuries had also basically recovered during this discussion. Then, he chose to say goodbye and temporarily leave Spiritual Mountain to look for opportunities.

Mora didn't know Chen Yuan's purpose, but he guessed that it might be related to the Passage of Life and Death. As for why he had to go, he guessed that only Chen Yuan himself knew.

There was no sadness of parting. After Chen Yuan obtained the opportunity, he would eventually have to come back once. Before leaving, he instructed Mora that if there was any change in the Southern Border or the Northern Barbarians.

And if he couldn't get away, then Mora would need to help resist. The Martial Emperor Lu Chengfeng seemed to be one of his own, but in the end, he was not that close.

Only Mora was one of the people he truly trusted.

Mora gladly agreed.

Although he was now the Buddha of Spiritual Mountain, he was also the founder of the Dao God Palace and one of the leaders of the future attack on the Immortal Realm. If the Central Plains was in trouble, he would be duty-bound!

......

......

Western Regions, deep in the desert.

Dust flew, yellow sand filled the sky, and sandstorms rolled up by hurricanes stretched endlessly. Many Western Region martial artists called this place a forbidden area and dared not enter the depths of the desert.

Because it was a land of death!

Even fifth-realm Transformation Yang experts were not without precedent for falling.

Therefore, since Chen Yuan entered the desert, the number of people he had seen could be counted on one's fingers. Among them, there were also people who saw Chen Yuan wearing luxurious clothes and wanted to slaughter a fat sheep. After all, as a forbidden area.

Naturally, there were few people, but it was also a hiding place for some villains wanted by the Thirty-Six Kingdoms.

It was a pity that although that person had a Dan realm cultivation, he was still annihilated by Chen Yuan with a single finger, turning into ashes and completely dissipating between heaven and earth. Even others would not know how he disappeared.

It wasn't that Chen Yuan really had so much free time, preparing to eliminate evil and be thorough, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. It was really that the so-called Passage of Life and Death pointed out by the opportunity was not fixed.

Because of the chaotic void, it would often move.

Chen Yuan searched for the place that Mora had pointed out before, but when he went there, he found that he had gained nothing. He could only waste some time continuing to search.

Of course, during the search, Chen Yuan also maintained contact through the Heavenly Book Treasure. Overall, there was nothing major, and it could be considered calm and peaceful.

Even if this calm and peaceful was only on the surface, it was still a rare thing.

The other Dao Lords, such as Su Ziyue, Jiang He, Yang Huatian, and others, learned that Mora had broken through to Earth Immortal, and they were overjoyed and congratulated him on his progress.

The stronger Mora was, the more terrifying their Dao God Palace would be.

To date, they already had two Earth Immortals, one Half Immortal, and four Yang God True Monarchs. Such a level was even inferior to the former number one immortal sect, Spiritual Mountain.

It could be called terrifying.

Mora also took the opportunity to give them a few pointers on their cultivation, allowing them to gain some opportunities.

After some congratulations, Chen Yuan asked about the matter of gathering troops. After the Buddha fell and the two Barbarian Gods were suppressed and killed, only Huang Ji managed to escape by luck.

Chen Yuan asked Jiang He and others to prepare for the Northern Expedition after returning.

The matter of Dongying had been settled, and the Western Regions were already under control. All that remained were the Barbarians in the north and the Demons in the south. In comparison, the Northern Barbarians were undoubtedly easier to deal with.

As long as he eliminated Huang Ji and defeated the Northern Barbarian grasslands, he could concentrate on going south to attack the Demons, continuing the unfinished business of Emperor Taizong of Chu and completely destroying the Demon race.

In this way, he could gather eternal merits, ascend to the position of Human Emperor, open the Heavenly Gate, and attack the Immortal Realm!

This was Chen Yuan's plan for the future, to implement it step by step.

Jiang He told Chen Yuan that things were already being prepared. A total of 400,000 elite heavy troops had been mobilized and were gradually heading towards the Jianmen Pass in Liang Province.

Various resources, food, military equipment, had been prepared and were ready to arrive in Liang Province first.

In their plan, when the Northern Expedition began, including the surviving Northern Liang Army, a total of 500,000 elite iron cavalry would be scattered into the grasslands and would surely be able to severely damage them.

The alien warhorses would be provided by Liang Province, and the rest would be snatched from the Northern Barbarian grasslands.

Chen Yuan expressed his approval. He still had great trust in Jiang He's ability to handle affairs.

Now was the time before the Great Yan Dynasty had been established. It was the time to work together wholeheartedly. No one would hinder them from behind. With Jiang He and his uncle Chen Huaiyi around, they could resolve most of the matters for him.

Su Ziyue even told Chen Yuan that after the news of the decision to launch the Northern Expedition spread, it quickly caused a great shock in the Central Plains. Countless Jianghu martial artists and forces wanted to join the army.

Preparing to avenge the Central Plains.

But most of them were rejected by Princess Pingyang's order.

Chen Yuan praised Pingyang for doing well.

Were those people really avenging the Central Plains?

That was not necessarily the case.

If they really wanted to defend the borders of the Central Plains, they should have gone to Jianmen Pass to guard the city in the first place. Although there might be some people with enthusiasm among them, Chen Yuan felt that.

Most people were preparing to take advantage of the situation in the grasslands, to compete for resources.

Because the news of the fall of the two Barbarian Gods in the Northern Barbarians had spread. Many people felt that this trip to the grasslands was like robbing things with their eyes closed, and they would be rich after returning.

How could Chen Yuan let some rotten rats spoil the whole pot of soup?

He could mobilize 500,000 elite heavy troops and more than a dozen Yang God True Monarchs at any time. He didn't need those Jianghu martial artists at all.

Only when Chen Yuan returned would it be the day of the Northern Expedition.

But just as everyone was excited, Chu Changfeng remained silent for a long time and told Chen Yuan that his men had sensed that there was a disturbance in the Southern Border.

They might take action in the near future.

The matter he had asked him to investigate had also become clear. It was said that the Demon race had encountered a once-in-a-hundred-year calamity, burning thousands of miles of land into ruins.

But now it had passed and they had freed up their hands.

He hoped that Chen Yuan would make plans early, and not be attacked by the demons of the Southern Border when he launched the Northern Expedition.

Chen Yuan didn't think too much and directly asked Mora to come out of the mountain and guard the Southern Border for a period of time. In addition, it would be best to add the old ancestor Su Ming of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

With two Immortals present, it would be enough to protect the Southern Border of the human race from being lost.

Mora also knew the priority of the matter and agreed without hesitation. Now the war in the Western Regions was over, and the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions had just expressed their tribute to the new Buddha, so there would be no trouble.

Without external enemies, the Yang God strength of the Jishi Bodhisattva was enough to guard Spiritual Mountain.

Not daring to let anyone have other thoughts.

After all, he was still there.

And he had just broken through to Earth Immortal and was looking for an opponent to compete with and verify his strength.

He had not had enough fun with that Mo Ying Demon Emperor last time. This time, he would definitely try it out to see who was better!

After making these arrangements, Chen Yuan was completely relieved. He needed to take the opportunity to break through, and he didn't know how long it would take. Making some preparations in advance was always right.

Ending the message, Chen Yuan's speed of searching the depths of the desert also began to accelerate rapidly.

.....

Thus, another three days passed.

On this day, Chen Yuan appeared in the northwest direction of the desert. There were no people for nearly ten thousand miles, and he looked at the chaotic void in front of him, which was similar to what Mora had described.

The corners of his mouth finally curled up into a smile.

The Passage of Life and Death, the chaotic void, had finally been found!

Without much hesitation, a ray of light quickly lit up around Chen Yuan's body, and the powerful Martial God rules poured out, turning into an invisible shield covering his body.

Then, Chen Yuan waved his hand and directly tore open the chaotic void and walked in.

The Passage of Life and Death, which was a desperate situation for ordinary people, was like a docile kitten for him. The chaotic power of the rules could not even get close.

It was quickly annihilated by the Martial God rules, directly opening a path.
