Chapter 466 Message
Qingli Mountain, Fang Family.
From the misty void, a figure emerged, handsome and refined, surrounded by divine light—it was none other than Fang Wuchen's junior brother, Liu Junyan.
He gazed at Qingli Mountain, a trace of sorrow on his face, and landed within the formation.
Faced with the true master's divine power, this spirit array was utterly powerless to resist, practically welcoming him all the way to the Fang family's main hall.
A gentle breeze blows.
Hu Yunshu was frowning as he looked at an account book when suddenly the room was filled with light, and the surrounding plants grew rapidly.
She looked up and immediately saw the divine light emanating from it. She immediately knelt down and said, "Greetings, Master. I was unaware of your presence and have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me."
"It's alright. Wuchenzi and I are fellow disciples and very close. His nephews and grandnephews are no different from mine." Liu Junyan waved his hand. He had also visited the Fang family years ago and participated in Fang Wuchen's Purple Mansion celebration. He then asked, "I remember your family is headed by the second branch, Fang Daoling. Where is he?"
Before he finished speaking, a surge of water rushed in from outside, transforming into a figure—it was Fang Daoling.
He immediately knelt down: "So it's Master Liu! It's been many years. Master Liu's demeanor remains unchanged. You must have become even more divine."
"Hehe, you certainly know how to talk." Liu Junyan chuckled, then flicked his finger, and a layer of [Liu Shi] radiance appeared, sealing off the hall.
Upon seeing this, Fang Daoling and his wife exchanged a glance, both trembling with fear: "The Immortal has come in person to deliver this message, and to seal off the surrounding area—what earth-shattering event has occurred?"
Liu Junyan straightened his expression and said, "I just came from Taihuang Heaven and pay my respects to Master..."
"You truly are worthy of being a Golden Core disciple, to be able to see your divine countenance so often..." Fang Daoling quickly offered a compliment.
Although his family had a complicated connection with Taihuangtian, it was all tied to Fang Wuchen.
Now that there is no news of our ancestors, we can't help but feel like we're adrift in the wind.
"Alright, enough with the flattery. I've received word that the Yin Corpse Sect and Moyun Cliff are going to attack the Secret Treasury. Your Xituo County is the one that's sticking its neck out. This is no small matter; you might even be wiped out..."
Liu Junyan's opening words were earth-shattering: "Another big battle?"
Fang Daoling's expression was somewhat numb, clearly indicating that he had already gotten used to it.
Since the White Bone Path established itself in Xituo County, it has fought almost every year, and the Fang family has followed suit, fighting almost the entire time.
"This time is different..." Liu Junyan said, "Not only the Yin Corpse Sect and Moyun Cliff... but also the Huan Sect, and... the Demon Race!"
"Hiss." Upon hearing this, Fang Daoling and his wife couldn't help but gasp. Fang Daoling, in particular, gradually realized that this battle was different from the ones before.
In the past, there were True Immortals in the Great Void to oversee things, while cultivators below could fight each other at their Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining stages, which was considered to have a basic bottom line.
However, if the Demonic Alliance were to intervene, and even the Demon Clan were to join them, the Secret Realm would be at a complete disadvantage.
At that time, just like when the esoteric monks crossed the sea to the east and attacked the Hehuan Sect, the Purple Mansion could attack lower cultivators with impunity, which would be a disaster.
One wrong move and the Fang family could be wiped out!
But Master Liu came specifically to remind me, could it be…
Fang Daoling hesitated for a moment before asking, "Does the Master intend for us to set things right?"
He questioned whether the Fang family was of much value, seemingly only useful for this much. "Anyway?"
Liu Junyan couldn't help but chuckle: "If my senior brother were here, I might say that, but you don't need to... I remember your Fang family has a branch in the secret realm? Why don't you just move there now, or you'll regret it..."
Only then did Fang Daoling believe that this master was not here to make him cannon fodder, but was genuinely considering the Fang family's well-being. His eyes reddened, tears welled up, and he knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly: "Thank you for your mercy, master! Thank you for your mercy!"
"Alas... Among all my fellow disciples, I am closest to Senior Brother Wuchenzi, so naturally I cannot bear to see the Fang family bloodline die out."
Liu Junyan sighed: "The Secret Realm is extraordinary. It is guarded by the Secret Realm Origin, which is enough to withstand the battle of Golden Core cultivators. Even if it is besieged by demons, it has the power to defend itself." He gave a few instructions, waved his sleeve, and immediately entered the Great Void.
Standing in the dim light of the void, gazing at the silvery-white void storm not far away, he seemed lost in thought: "I've heard that my master had a lot of friendship with the demon race before. But this time, the demon race and the demonic path have joined forces, which has crossed the bottom line of the Taihuang Heaven. What will happen in the future is uncertain."
Qi Refining Channel.
The fact that the Fang family was going to relocate could not be kept secret from Bai Gu Dao and Xu Mo.
And since they knew, Fang Qing naturally knew as well.
"A great war? Internal strife between the Demon Path and the Secret Realm?" On a boundless sea, Fang Qing received the news, and his expression immediately became somewhat strange.
The Demon Path and the Secret Realm were originally birds of a feather, so it's common for them to fight each other now.
But this time, it was clearly caused by Tu Shan Qi Qiu Jin, a nine-tailed fox from the demon race.
"Is it because the [Heart Moon] is without a master that the conflict with the Taiyin lineage has eased... and then the two strongest True Lords have begun to compete for the [Yearly Duty] opportunity?" Fang Qing couldn't help but sigh.
The greatest benefit of the Dao of Qi Conversion lies in the Golden Position, while the greatest goal of the True Lord lies in [being in charge of the year]!
From this perspective, one can almost understand the choices made by many True Lords.
"That 'Great Sage Huangyu Xietian' on Luofeng Mountain should be pursuing the Fire element; perhaps he's only missing the Metal element..."
The incarnate Buddha "Daikokuten" enshrined at Daikokuten Temple cultivates the [Shika-ho] lineage.
Last time, the Nine Heavens Fire Palace asked Phoenix for a favor, and Phoenix readily agreed, which clearly shows that there is no conflict between the two parties regarding the [Tail Fire] metal position.
Therefore, there is only one truth: that "Mahakala" is in the [Fire Chamber] order! He has perfectly blocked the Phoenix's path to further advancement!
This "Mahavairocana Buddha" is truly sinister.
Fang Qing couldn't help but sigh at this moment, thinking that those temples at the foot of the Great Snow Mountain, the origin of all dharmas, were all very good at creating something special.
For example, the Bodhisattva Akasagarbha played a big game before. And Mahakala was no less impressive, actually being a pawn used by Vairocana Buddha to trap the Phoenix!
"The Temple of No Forms of All Beings—that 'Master of the Corpse Forest,' could he be hiding some big secret? Wait… didn't he offer a sacrifice to the [shaman] to ambush me before? Wasn't that a big secret?" Fang Qing was speechless, and then landed on an island.
Rumble!
The earth rose up automatically, transforming into a cave, allowing him to rest inside.
Then, a multitude of thoughts emerged.
The Secret Realm, or rather the Secret Source, is still very important to Vairocana Buddha… The Great Snow Mountain lineage was established by Vairocana Buddha as a ritual to tame the 'Secret Source'?
Therefore, if a large number of esoteric monks are killed, mountains are felled, and temples are destroyed... this would shake the foundation of "Mahavairocana Buddha" on a massive scale, forcing it to compromise and hand over "Mahakala"?
Fang Qing vaguely understood Luo Fengshan's plan.
For the Phoenix, sacrificing some demons for the sake of its own path was not a difficult decision.
Even if all eight tribes of the demon race were wiped out, as long as one could prove their "Yearly Value," it would still be a worthwhile deal.
"According to my calculations, the Great Sun Tathagata and the Phoenix are probably among the three strongest True Monarchs in the Qi Cultivation Path... their cultivation level is suspected to be in the late Golden Core stage!" "The Great Sun Tathagata should already hold multiple Great Sun Golden Positions, only lacking the final [Celebrating Sun] Subordinate Position! In this light, the one from the Joyful Union Sect should be specifically designed to restrict him... If the Phoenix is willing, exchanging the 'Great Sun Dragon and Phoenix Fuyu Yuanjun' for the 'Great Black Heaven', the Great Sun Tathagata is more likely to agree."
"Alas, this is simply impossible. This Demon Lord was not fully supported by Phoenix. His biggest supporter is [Wei Yue], and he even had a child with her."
"So, as long as [Wei Yue] keeps [Fang Ri] at bay, he can force Luo Feng Mountain and the Secret Realm to fight each other? This is on the premise that [Wei Yue] is not too strong, so as not to attract too much attention. After all, if the eldest and second eldest fight, the third eldest might be the one to die..."
"As for the demonic path? The Yin Corpse Sect and Qingyun Cliff have suffered at the hands of the Secret Realm for a long time, and the Hehuan Sect was almost wiped out... Now that we've seized the opportunity, how could we not exact revenge?"
After clarifying these things, Fang Qing sighed, knowing that a great battle was bound to occur at the Dao of Convincing Qi!
But he didn't really care, since his true self definitely wouldn't descend upon the world of Qi Cultivation again before reaching the Golden Core stage.
"Once the great war begins, the Secret Treasury Domain will basically be left only to be attacked. All areas outside the Secret Treasury Domain must be abandoned, or certain death will be certain... Xituo County, White Bone Path... are all expendable pawns!"
There's nothing we can do about it, since Xituo County is outside the Secret Realm and it's difficult to receive the blessings of the Secret Realm's source.
Within the Secret Realm, there lies the Secret Origin and the source of the Dharma lineage. Even a cultivator who has attained the level of refinement might not be unable to fight against a True Person of the Purple Mansion.
In addition, with the accumulated strength from continuous reincarnation, they have the power to fight even if the demonic path comes out in full force!
"This time, it may be an even more terrifying battle than the eastward crossing of the esoteric monks. Not to mention the Purple Mansion True Man, even Buddhist disciples and envoys... will take action."
Fang Qing immediately had a thought and instructed Sangji, in his capacity as abbot of the "Zhusheng Wuxiang Temple," to order Tara Moonlight White and others to abandon Xituo County and withdraw as many as possible.
Besides that, there's not much else to do.
At the most critical moment, he landed on Sanji or perhaps Hei's body and fought as a disciple of Buddha, which can be considered as helping the Great Sun Tathagata.
In this game of esoteric arts, the Buddha's disciple is merely a pawn, not particularly powerful.
He sighed, "What I lack most right now is strength... As for the Kitchen God, it seems he's considering leaving."
The Kitchen God, or rather the Eastern Primordial Spiritual Response God, was, after all, a human cultivator with the world in his heart.
Although it was resurrected with the help of the demon race, it was relegated to a guest position with no hope of becoming the "year's representative," clearly being used as a pawn.
Now that the demons and monsters have joined forces to attack the Hidden Realm and cause widespread suffering, they naturally need to do something.
Or rather... the demon race is trying to win over two Golden Core cultivators from the demonic path, and the Kitchen God is already starting to feel insecure.
That's quite possible, after all, life and death are the most important matters...
