Fried Salted Fish
Chapter 401 Mount Tai is About to Collapse
The spirituality of Dongyue was devoured by the blank divine tablet like a whole jujube. Obtaining the divine position of the Lord of Dongyue, under the effect of the blank divine tablet, Ji Xiang instantly established a direct connection with the divine position of the Lord of Dongyue. Immediately following, three enormous shadows appeared in the illusion of consciousness, and the future sight took effect at this moment.
The shadow of the Judge of Mount Tai came across the sea from the east, which was not much different from what he had seen in the future last time, but it was only the process. The outcome was difficult to discern. What the future sight could see was only the tip of the iceberg. Ji Xiang believed that the divine position of the Judge of Mount Tai would eventually return to Mount Tai, but even if it returned, the power of Mount Tai could not be dominated by it.
Whether he took it back himself, or it was snatched back by someone else, was very important.
The second was a female shadow, the smallest of the three, obviously Bixia Yuanjun. Ji Xiang had not yet met this divine general who sat in Mount Tai. She was the imperial court's highest visible combat power, the only Chunyang peak master, and she used the divine power of Mount Tai to command all the ghosts, gods, and demons in the world. Emperor Jiajing himself separated the national fortune to create her, and the national grand sacrifice raised her status to a very high level.
Mount Tai cannot be without an owner, and there must be a Mount Tai deity.
In the future sight, Ji Xiang saw her shadow torn apart, and a larger black shadow replaced her. She was swallowed into the huge black shadow behind her and then separated again, and from then on, she would follow the lead of the later black shadow, as if she had become a puppet.
This was a sign that the divine position was about to be seized, and the divine general was about to be killed.
And this later black shadow was the third one, which was undoubtedly the shadow of the Great Emperor of Dongyue!
The divine power of Mount Tai was divided into three parts: the Great Emperor of Dongyue, the Judge of Mount Tai, and Bixia Yuanjun. From high to low, they showed the difference in their powers. They were all gods created by the dynasty from the power of Mount Tai. In the past dynasties, there had also been Mount Tai deities such as the Lord of Dongyue, but their existence was too short, and they were not elevated to a very high position. The dynasty had already changed, or fallen into difficulties, and there was no way to cede their national fortune to carry out the conferment.
Large and small gods were separated from the power of Mount Tai. The situation of the Five Mountains was the same. In today's era, although Bixia Yuanjun had received great conferment from the Ming Dynasty, there was still a considerable gap between her and the previous generations of these gods in terms of their control over Mount Tai.
Ji Xiang's future sight was still working!
The black shadow of the Great Emperor of Dongyue appeared on a high mountain, and then countless small black shadows涌ed in from all directions of the world, and they all投身 into Mount Tai. Then Mount Tai suddenly collapsed!
The great mountain was destroyed, and from the collapsed mountain, a new dark mountain began to rise. It seemed that in the past, this sacred mountain standing in the land of Qilu had never shown its true face, and at this moment, it was about to announce its most real side to the world!
This dark mountain looked very similar to the Black Phoenix Mountain he had seen in Qiantang, but compared to that mountain, it had less demonic energy and more of a majestic and terrifying charm. Upon closer inspection, the composition of this dark mountain was not ordinary rocks, trees, and plants, but mountains of knives and swords, and seas of fire and oil cauldrons. It was clearly a combination of the Eighteen Hells into a great prison on earth!
The real Mount Tai rose up, and the surrounding small mountains were 山崩地裂. Even the clouds in the sky were torn into countless pieces. The national fortune above Mount Tai was shaken to pieces, which meant that Mount Tai was out of control!
In the last fragment, the Judge of Mount Tai appeared above the East Sea, which echoed the first scene. It seemed that his power had come to the Eastern Land, and his spearhead was directed at the Great Emperor of Dongyue!
In this way, the Judge of Mount Tai's intention fell into the mystery. Was he replacing Japan to invade China? Was he forcibly recalled by the power of Dongyue? Or was he crossing the sea to seize the dominance of Mount Tai, and to fight against Dongyue, and finally decide the outcome, to determine the ownership of Mount Tai?
But no matter which result, for the current era of the Ming Dynasty, it could be called a catastrophe. The power of the Eighteen Hells fell into the hands of foreign enemies, and this Netherworld Yin army was constantly涌ing into the human world, destined to drag down a huge late dynasty.
But letting the Ming Dynasty perish at this time was not a good choice.
Just as Mount Tai must have a divine master, only when the divine master was here could the Eighteen Hells be operated.
China must also have a dynasty, or rather, there must be a dominant ruler who occupies a strong position. This was not only for the convenience of obtaining the power of the Heavenly Dao, but also to ensure that the people of the world were under the control of this ruler.
Once the world fell into chaos, the Heavenly Dao would be hidden and no longer descend, and the heroes of the human world would rise together. In order to survive, the people would either投身 into evil cults, or follow the feudal lords, or rise up in revolt, or cross the sea to the east, or become bandits, or surrender and become slaves of the enemy, or flee to the Western Regions and the Southern Border.
After that, the immortals of the Hidden World would descend, and the people of the Surface World would really just be "renewable resources".
At that time, it would be a real disaster for the people.
Therefore, it was necessary to prevent the collapse of Mount Tai and to give the Ming court a warning. The era of world transformation was within these hundred years. If they could not seize it, China would fall, and they would become slaves to others again.
The future sight ended, and the glittering light in Ji Xiang's eyes disappeared. He looked at the other four Sacred Mountains True Gods whose heads had been pierced by flying swords. Suddenly, an idea arose in his mind. He summoned back the divine swords,剥夺 the divine forms of the Five Sacred Mountains True Gods, and took their divine positions.
The Bitter Sea world spread over, and the four guys who had lost the power of the Five Sacred Mountains True Gods returned to their original appearances, wearing the official robes of the Song court, but the color of their clothes turned black and blood red, as if they were telling the world that their identities were not normal existences.
The four Immortal Officials of the Longevity Palace had achieved the position of Ghost Immortal. This Ghost Immortal was different from other immortal paths. Although they were immortals, they were not immortals. A Ghost Immortal normally cultivated to become an Incense Immortal before they could be considered comparable to a Celestial Immortal, and only then could they be called "ascended".
The path of the Ghost Immortal was originally the path of the Netherworld. It was to allow those who went to various Pure Land 法界 to regain the position of immortal. It was a path opened up in the Wei and Jin dynasties. Because it required incense to cultivate, it was similar to the divine path, but now it seemed that the Ghost Immortals of the Longevity Palace did not need a lot of incense to cultivate to become a Ghost Immortal.
And not needing a lot of incense meant that there was no way to advance to the Incense Immortal, but they still cultivated in this way, and even came to the human world to provoke. There was only one explanation for this—they did not need the path to becoming an Incense Immortal!
"Chaos Immortal!"
Ji Xiang thought of the strange entry when the Heavenly Net King appeared. The various texts displayed by the Inner Vision Divine Tablet at that time were all telling Ji Xiang that this Chaos Immortal had an extraordinary origin and had 神诡莫测 techniques.
And the Yin Court had the so-called Five Ancestors and Three Kings. Ji Xiang could know who the Three Kings were, who were none other than the three Heavenly Venerables, Heavenly Net King, and Guangyao Shousheng Xiantian Heavenly Venerable. And the Five Ancestors... Emperor Yuan could be counted as one ancestor, and Zhao Xuanlang could be counted as the Sacred Ancestor. Then the Five Sacred Mountains True Gods had also recited the name of "Majesty and Freedom Heavenly Venerable", which was obviously also one of the Five Ancestors.
Then who were the remaining two?
"The Yin Court can develop and grow, and sure enough, there is a mysterious power behind it pushing it. Taking them as a bargaining chip, I originally thought that there was only Emperor Yuan alone, and he was neither close nor distant from the Yin Court, and he supported Prince Lu more. Now it seems that what the Yin Court can rely on is not only Emperor Yuan."
"But this is already terrible enough. Emperor Yuan is a strong person in the Heavenly Heart Realm. Even if he is not as good as the four Heavenly Hearts who guard the Surface World, he is far above the immortals in the Ascension Realm. He is a terrifying existence who has comprehended the Great Luo Dao Fruit and can reverse the cause and effect. He has also obtained the divine position of the Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning and is a Jade Purity Immortal."
"If at least one person among these Five Ancestors has the same strength as him... the current development of the Longevity Palace is somewhat unimaginable."
In the Hidden World, most of the Heavenly Heart Realms are the masters of one Heavenly Palace, with several or even more than a dozen Flying Immortals under their command. For example, the Heavenly Palaces of the Supreme Purity Sect have so many Flying Immortals added together. And how many other immortals are there under the Flying Immortals? How could the Surface World imagine it?
"Fortunately, Ancestor Fire Dragon went to assassinate the Supreme Purity, and I haven't felt any changes in the Supreme Purity recently... or maybe I'm in Korea and don't know what the Supreme Purity has done."
When Ji Xiang thought of the Supreme Purity, he thought of the cross-界聊天 between True Man Fire Dragon and Zhang Sanfeng...
Assassination (x).
灭门 (√). (Complete annihilation of the sect)
".....!"
A strange, indescribable sound came, and Ji Xiang was stimulated by the sound and suddenly came back to his senses. His eyes crossed the mountains and rivers, and he suddenly saw a corpse with four wings growing on its back. Its limbs were twisted, and it was a corpse monster pieced together from various pieces of meat. It was not a normal existence. It was assembled in an instant, and then it flapped its wings and flew away into the air at an extremely fast speed!
It was the King of Korea!
"He still has self-awareness after turning into this?"
"No, there's something on his body!"
Ji Xiang first found it unbelievable. The King of Korea's body exploded and was used as a carrier for the manifestation of the Five Sacred Mountains True Gods in the human world. Now that the Five Sacred Mountains True Gods had been eaten by the Bitter Sea, the rotten meat actually crawled up on its own, and then combined into a monster and flew away. The monster's body was surrounded by black gas, and it didn't seem to be the King of Korea's own consciousness!
It was the black gas given to him by the so-called "Majesty and Freedom Heavenly Venerable" that was manipulating his corpse at this moment!
"Where are you going!"
Ji Xiang stepped forward, and his image changed!
Heaven Opener of the Yellow Path Heavenly Venerable!
Stepping through the Void Jade Capital, ascending to the Heavenly Realm! The Heaven Opener of the Yellow Path Heavenly Venerable opened a path to the Heavenly Gate, and Ji Xiang flashed in, and with one palm from the air, he smashed the corpse monster into the depths of the mountains and rivers!
The black gas twisted his body, and the corpse monster began to swell in the depths of the mountains and rivers. A mortal's body could not turn into a giant, but at this time, the pieces of meat were actually proliferating without limit. Its growth rate surpassed that of any known creature in the world!
The mountain of meat wrapped the mountains and rivers inside, and then in Ji Xiang's astonished gaze, the mountain of meat merged into the mountains and rivers, turning into nothingness!
"Something's wrong!"
Anyone with eyes could see that there was a problem. Such a huge 肉尸 monster merged with the mountains and rivers. This was like erosion or replacement. In short, Ji Xiang made a decisive decision, and the body of the Sun Refining Form gradually grew larger at this moment!
崩——! (Crash!)
Even though this physical body's Qi and blood had already become strong to an unprecedented level, there were still inevitable signs of the physical body cracking when performing this divine power!
Law, Heaven, and Earth!
Ji Xiang's eyes seemed to contain the heaven and earth and nurture the five elements. His heart was like a bright mirror. He was only one step away from the Immortal Realm, and he already knew why this situation had occurred.
Cultivating to this point, the strength of the physical body meant the strength that could bear the 法力. Essence, Qi, and Spirit were advancing in a cycle. Law, Heaven, and Earth was a great divine power that could only be used at the level of immortals. The stronger the physical body and 法力, the more powerful the Law, Heaven, and Earth that could be used. Therefore, no matter how much he strengthened himself under the Immortal Realm, the strength of Law, Heaven, and Earth would also increase, which also led to the fact that he under the Immortal Realm still could not withstand the reaction force brought about by Law, Heaven, and Earth.
It was as if this divine power was locked in at the level of immortals.
This time, he became even more enormous than the Heavenly Venerable's form and spirit, and it was a real physical change. Ji Xiang stood with his head touching the sky, and the mountains and rivers under his feet were as small as mud pits and gravel. Facing the 肉尸 that was frantically assimilating the mountains and rivers, he grabbed it with one palm!
轰隆——! (Rumble!)
This piece of mountain and river was directly uprooted by Ji Xiang! The rivers were cut off, and the mountains collapsed. The mountains that had not yet been assimilated escaped the disaster, while the mountains that had already been assimilated were thrown into the sky by Ji Xiang, and sealed in a chaotic 法力 turbulence with great 法力!
"Southwest Divine King, Benevolent Stillness World!"
One of the Ten Directions Divine Kings, the power of the Southwest Divine King was activated, and this piece of heaven and earth was opened up into the Benevolent Stillness World.
The so-called Benevolent Stillness means that the wise move, and the benevolent are still. It is a means of forcibly opening up a closed space and locking the enemy inside. This closed space is both one and endless. The more that person wants to get out, the more he will never be able to get out and will be lost in the Benevolent Stillness World!
The pieces of meat were still spewing out气息 towards the surrounding sky, but they were all locked in a small space. The black gas on the pieces of meat盘踞, and it was the King of Korea's soul. It actually merged with the black gas and turned into a terrifying ghost and god like a ghost in the Benevolent Stillness World, roaring and screaming.
But he could no longer get out.
That's how it should be.
Ji Xiang pushed this piece of mountain and river into the sky, and the Inner Vision Divine Tablet appeared with text at this time.
[Suppression: Before Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, this kind of meat block appeared in the Nanyang market. Swords and swords could not harm its existence. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, in a place ruled by a feudal lord named Gongsun Yuan, many of these meat blocks appeared, each several feet in circumference, with heads and mouths but no hands or feet. An extraordinary person divined and told Gongsun Yuan that this thing had no form, no body, and no sound, and there was often a sound of crying. It was a monster that would appear when the country was destroyed.]
[And the Dead Demon: A person with huge resentment in his body and a high status in life. After being possessed by black evil, a monster transformed from the ghost of a king. If this kind of monster is produced in a 肉块 of Suppression, then it has the ability to assimilate the national fortune and even the sacrifices of the gods.]
[There is no way to破解 Suppression. The collapse of the national fortune will produce the soil for its birth. This is an inevitable rule of the Heavenly Dao. Rather than a monster, it is a phenomenon that is born under the operation of the Heavenly Dao rules.]
[The method to破解 the Dead Demon is to use the Heavenly King Divine Spell of Majesty and Freedom Heavenly Venerable to subdue it and lock it in a fixed temple so that it cannot leave.]
Ji Xiang turned his hand, and the Demonic Tome appeared, recording these two kinds of monsters one by one. As long as they were subdued once, and their names were left in the Demonic Tome, they could be regarded as "demons" to be subdued in the future.
Then he took some rocks, trees, and plants, and temporarily transformed them into a dilapidated temple, putting the Benevolent Stillness World into it.
But Ji Xiang did not know. At this time, in the three capitals of Korea, in every dark corner, these kinds of meat block monsters appeared.
And in the dark, a pair of huge eyes floated in the dimness of the sky. They were clearly in front of Ji Xiang, but Ji Xiang could not see these eyes.
Only in a trance did Ji Xiang turn his head and make eye contact with these eyes.
The latter closed his eyes and disappeared into the human world.
