Inner Vision Divine Tablet reveals text:

[Five Manifestations Head Official Great Emperor (Proper God, Manifestation of Huaguang): Flames of Five Lights, Lamp before the Buddha! Twenty-fifth rank of the Great Undertaking of the Human Department!]

[The Huaguang Great Emperor has corresponding divine positions in Taoism, Buddhism, and Factional Teachings.]

[Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord (Zhu Shou): Folk Factional Teaching, Head of the Great Manifestation Huaguang Teaching, Chief Seat of the Six Sects of Dingjia City, the main enshrined deity is the Huaguang Great Emperor, followed by Jizhi Tuo Bodhisattva (███████).]

[Factional Teaching Dharma Lord, possesses the means to receive the power of the Dharma Realm; cultivation of the physical body, Innate Realm.]

[This person carries the incense of the myriad people!]

[Use Divine Restraint and Divine Expulsion to control his Six Ding Six Jia Heavenly Soldier Technique.]

[Use the Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Mantra to break his Repentance of All Evils Divine Mantra.]

[Fire Evasion: One of the Thirteen Great Evasions, eliminating form and spirit, and escaping into the void of flames, with many wonderful uses (you have no way to limit Fire Evasion, you can try to use Shattering Void attacks the moment the opponent escapes).]

[Spirit Communication Great Art: Heretical art! Its function is ██████████████! Use the Jade Purity Hidden Book, the Chapter on Subduing Demons in the Heavenly Demon Extinguishing Scenery Method, to repel it (only repels, the source of the spell is unknown, unable to subdue)!]

[After repelling the Spirit Communication Great Art, you will be watched by the Huaguang Great Emperor (divine position already occupied)! All practitioners of the Huaguang Faction will regard you as an enemy! Returning to the Forbidden City, with the protection of the Jade Emperor's divine position, you can avoid being spied on by the Huaguang Great Emperor!]

Ji Xiang's brows twitched slightly.

Among the things revealed, there were black bars again?

Wasn't this a bit too frequent?

It seemed that unintentionally, he was one step closer to the mastermind behind this black bar.

And the Jade Emperor could shield the gaze of Huaguang, Ji Xiang thought, probably because, during the Song Dynasty, the Song court had used the name of the Jade Emperor to confer the title of Huaguang Great Emperor. To Huaguang, the Jade Emperor was his superior, so of course he couldn't spy on him.

But what Ji Xiang feared the least was offending others!

......

"Young man, what arrogance."

The Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord only sarcastically remarked on Ji Xiang's arrogant words, and then said no more, dispatching the Six Ding Heavenly Soldiers and Six Jia Divine Generals to attack. Unexpectedly, a vast expanse of white smoke rushed out from Ji Xiang's body. These white smokes grabbed the Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals, and Ji Xiang recited:

"Divine Restraint and Divine Expulsion, Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals, heed my command!"

Swords, spears, halberds, silks, and dharma belts—these Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals retreated from the white smoke and turned their spears on the Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord!

Thousands of Heavenly Soldiers rebelled on the spot, a scene that made the Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord's spirit lift. He immediately thought of the disappearance of the connection between the Secret Record Earth Soldiers and the altar, and his expression could not help but become solemn.

Folk Factional Teachings are most adept at dispatching troops and generals, from Yin Soldiers and Ghost Soldiers to Demon Soldiers and Earth Soldiers, and even Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. But if these troops rebel on the spot, it would be equivalent to a remote mage losing his front line. Without the assistance of powerful troops, his strength would immediately drop by a large margin.

The Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord secretly thought that the other party had the Divine Expulsion technique. The Divine Expulsion technique of the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends had also appeared before. It was used by a young Taoist, whose methods seemed to come from the Upper Purity, and he easily took away the troops of some experts from other sects of the Lower Maoshan.

Ji Xiang waved his hand: "Take him down!"

The Heavenly Soldiers surged forward. The Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord shook his palm, grasped a piece of thunder wood, and gently patted the void.

With this pat, the world was immediately dyed with a haze, the sound of thunder rumbled loudly, and all the Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals gradually transformed into pure Qi, ascending into the sky. Even their forms and spirits dissipated in an instant.

Upper Purity Daoist: "Inviting gods and summoning gods, acting by patting thunder wood."

"This is an Upper Purity technique."

The Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord coldly looked at the Upper Purity Daoist: "Upper Purity Maoshan is Maoshan, so can't Lower Maoshan use it? Half of the Upper Purity Dharma Realm is in our hands. You say you are Upper Purity, but we may not be Upper Purity either."

"Although the Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals invited by our Dharma Lord cannot be summoned at will, it is still no problem to dismiss them at will."

"Divine Expulsion.... It seems that you are that young immortal master of the Upper Purity sect, the disciple of Yin Lingzi."

Ji Xiang asked strangely: "Yin Lingzi?"

The Upper Purity Daoist explained in a low voice that it was Yin Changsheng.

Ji Xiang suddenly understood, and then laughed and said, "We two are fighting, what's the point of talking about a dead person."

"Dead person? That young man is dead? His magic power is even higher than mine, so he died like this? Who killed him?"

The Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord was stunned upon hearing this. Immediately, his gaze began to become a little suspicious. He looked at Ji Xiang without speaking, and already had the intention of seeking verification and retreating.

Thinking of it, he did it, without delay! So flames suddenly ignited on the outer side of his figure, twisting and dissipating in an instant. Ji Xiang immediately used the Immobilization Technique, but it had no effect.

Small supernatural powers cannot immobilize these people with great magic power. Their bodies have their own operation of the Qi of Heaven and Earth within their orifices and bones, and it is impossible to fix the operation of these Qi.

"After all, the power is limited, but wanting to leave with Fire Evasion is probably not that easy."

Ji Xiang pinched his palm, recited the Great Emperor Hidden Invocation Text, stripping the other party of his incense, and at the same time, the void shattered one after another the moment the Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord disappeared. After about three breaths, the Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord retreated from the void, his body covered with broken flames!

At the same time, the second supernatural power of the Ascension Realm was used!

A divine sword pierced through the head, but the Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord's physical body was not damaged!

"Eh?"

Ji Xiang gave a light "Eh", while the Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord's thinking speed was half a beat slower. The divine sword pierced through his head, and he only reacted then, turning around and throwing himself into a lamp fire, disappearing again.

"When using Fire Evasion, there is no physical body?"

No, there is no entity. When performing the evasion, it will be damaged by Shattering Void, but at the moment of reassembling, it is not affected by Shattering Void.

He originally thought that eliminating the form and spirit would leave behind something like a primordial spirit, but he didn't expect that the whole thing would be eliminated, so that he could avoid the Ascension supernatural power.

This was a novel piece of knowledge, and Ji Xiang was very interested in it.

The supernatural powers of the Ascension Realm also had some limitations, but thinking about it carefully, that was the case. Fire Evasion seemed to be one of the Thirteen Great Evasions, and the main purpose of the existence of evasion techniques was to escape for one's life.

Human Evasion can make the environment change with the heart, and Fire Evasion can eliminate form by borrowing fire.

And he currently had no way to limit this type of evasion technique. This type of evasion technique obviously could not be cracked with spells, and should require necessary means.

In addition to this, Ji Xiang had prepared a pile of cracking spells, ready to have a good fight with this person.

He didn't expect that the other party would run away directly before he could even use them.

However, it was also necessary to say that this was a wise choice. In the situation where he found himself at a disadvantage, instead of fighting to the death, he went to call for reinforcements. This was an operation that an expert should have.

Running fast was also a skill.

"Only a part of the incense was collected, running away so fast, but the monk can run away but the temple can't, Earth Deity, come quickly!"

Ji Xiang stomped his foot. The Earth Deity of the previous dojo had not yet returned to his temple, and was caught by Ji Xiang again. Looking at the mess in front of him at the main altar, the Earth Deity was frightened and his face turned pale:

"It's you again! Did you kill our Dharma Lord?"

Immediately, the Earth Deity thought again, if the Dharma Lord was killed, there would be no need to catch a nobody like him. As expected, Ji Xiang asked the Earth Deity to lead the way, and then with a single thunder spell, he lifted this piece of the dojo into the sky and directly blew it apart!

Ji Xiang sneered: "Your Dharma Lord is amazing, really powerful, running really fast, he doesn't even want his altar anymore, doesn't he know what kind of suffering his altar is suffering here!"

The Earth Deity's face was pale, and he was trembling, cursing: "You destroyed my Six Sects' altar, you will surely suffer disasters, karmic retribution will never cease...!"

But Ji Xiang didn't care:

"Stop talking nonsense, if you have the ability, dispel my Divine Restraint, otherwise hurry up and lead the way, I'm in a hurry to bomb your other altars!"

"Bomb until your Dharma Lord shows himself!"

.......

In Dingjia City, thunder and fire spread. The other five Sects' main altars learned about the Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord almost being killed, and they were struck by lightning. After a brief paralysis, they decided to use the power of the Upper Purity Dharma Realm, and at the same time, they sent a message to the Upper Immortals of Biyou Palace. This matter was no longer something they could handle.

"How did the Upper Purity Sect find such a powerful person? This show of strength didn't work out, but we ended up humiliating ourselves."

"You, Zhu Shou, have lost, so how can we be his opponent? It seems that we should tell him the location of Biyou Palace. It's not worth it for us to suffer this great crime ourselves, let stronger people deal with him!"

"Wait! He's bombing the altar! It's my altar that's being bombed! Really arrogant to the extreme! How hateful! The Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord offended you, so why are you bombing my altar!"

The five Dharma Lords looked at the flames. At this time, the Wulei Summit Teaching's Dharma Lord suddenly looked ugly. His small altar had already cracked, and it was clear that Ji Xiang had begun to dismantle his territory.

Someone on the side was saying sarcastic remarks, the Guangze Dharma Lord laughed:

"He's using thunder magic, but he's dismantling your thunder magic altar, destroying your dojo. After all, different thunder magics are difficult to integrate. Why don't you invite the Thunder King to descend and fight him, maybe his thunder magic will be useless!"

"Besides, the Six Sects are connected by the same Qi. What you just said is not right!"

At this time, the voice of the Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord came from the flames:

"Don't be happy, he won't only bomb my altar, no one can escape, and this person is extraordinary. That Yin Lingzi who had a small fight with me seems to have been killed by him. He has a young Daoist child with him, who should be a disciple of the Upper Purity sect, and his words are probably not false."

"Everyone, at this time, the treasures of the Six Sects must not be taken away by others. On the day that the Upper Purity Dharma Realm is taken back by him, our Six Sects will also be removed from the Seventy-two Sects."

"Therefore, we must neither hand over the Dharma Realm nor tell him the location of Biyou Palace, and we must not notify Biyou Palace."

Among the five Dharma Lords, the Guanyin Dharma Lord's expression was solemn: "He has already come to our doorstep, so what if we tell him the location of Biyou Palace? Can he defeat the Palace Master?"

"Going to Biyou Palace is going to one's death."

Unexpectedly, the Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord chuckled in the fire:

"Do you think that the Biyou Palace you know is really Biyou Palace? Do you think that the Palace Master you see is the real master of Biyou Palace?"

"What you see is just what Biyou Palace wants you to see."

"Right now, this person is probably not just here to find trouble with the Palace Master, but to find the true master behind the Palace Master."

The Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord knew some things.

"I'm telling you, in fact, Biyou Palace and the Upper Purity Sect seem to have an unclear relationship, but I can't be sure about this, because I once asked the Palace Master about Yin Lingzi, but the reply I got was ambiguous and directly prevaricated."

"Therefore, the seventy-two sects of the Lower Maoshan are all pawns of Biyou Palace, they are their swords and halberds. If a treasured sword is rusted or broken, is it still useful? The role of swords and halberds is to clear obstacles, not to be cleared by obstacles."

How to preserve one's strength and be able to retreat completely in high-level struggles is his top priority. Now, telling Biyou Palace that something has happened here would probably mean that they wouldn't even be able to be pawns.

The Six Sects have been operating Dingjia City for seventy years, and they must not damage their Dao lineage and foundation.

The five Dharma Lords frowned after hearing the words of the Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord:

"True Master?"

"Even if we are pawns, we are still pawns that have crossed the river. Saying that we will be abandoned is too arbitrary. I think we should notify them."

"We are not afraid of death, nor are we running away without a fight, but we have tried our best and failed, which is not a big deal."

"That's right, even if there is a master, he won't abandon us because of this kind of trivial matter. There are many difficult things in the world, and we are not the great sects of the Three Mountains level. The other party has brought a Celestial-level expert, which is a disaster that we cannot cope with."

Some of the five Dharma Lords still believed that they should inform Biyou Palace. This was all to prevent the Dao lineage from being damaged. Before the answer came out, there was no right or wrong in everyone's choices.

But the Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord warned:

"I didn't say that Biyou Palace would abandon us, but I know some things. Some of the Dao lineages of the Lower Maoshan Factional Teachings seem to be gradually changing. Contacting Biyou Palace too much is not a good thing."

"The Six Sects are guarding Dingjia City, only looking at this piece of land. Have you not noticed that those Factional Teachings that often have contact with Biyou Palace are becoming more and more strange and bizarre in their actions?"

The flames reflected the gazes of the five Dharma Lords. Their minds were uncertain, and they did not know what to do at this time.

The Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord continued: "This is ultimately our great tribulation. Then, in order to overcome the tribulation, we should use the old method."

"Let's borrow lives. Anyway, we have borrowed them once before. That borrowing gave us seventy years of stability in the Dao lineage of Dingjia City. Now, let's borrow them again. We usually help the people of Dingjia City to subdue demons and eliminate evil, and now it's time to ask for rewards."

"Seventy years of peace is not easy to come by. Notify everyone to take lives for use."

The five Dharma Lords looked at each other, each of their faces receding behind the flames. Their figures twisted and disappeared into their respective main altars.

Only the Great Manifestation Huaguang Dharma Lord was still in the flames, not yet out of them.
