Chapter 2030: Chapter 2023: Converging at Fangcun “Daoist friends, what do you think about this?” Yuan Tiangang looked at Emperor Haotian and Tathagata Buddha. “Moon-gazing Daoist’s words are not without reason. The Demons’ objective is very likely the entrance of the Divine Demon Well,” Emperor Haotian slowly said. Tathagata Buddha also nodded in agreement. “Since that is the case, the Demons will definitely send heavy troops to attack the mountain. Relying solely on Bodhi Fellow and Li Jing might not be enough to withstand…” Yuan Tiangang said. Before he finished speaking, a disciple responsible for delivering messages from the Great Tang Dynasty Government flew in from outside. “National Master, something terrible has happened. Chiyou has appeared at Mount Fangcun, and the protective great formation of the mountain has already been broken!” the person said urgently. Upon these words, everyone’s expression in the hall changed dramatically, and more than half stood up, then turned their eyes towards the three of them: Yuan Tiangang, Emperor Haotian, and Tathagata Buddha. Yuan Tiangang, Emperor Haotian, and Tathagata Buddha’s faces were all calm without the slightest panic, seemingly confident, which slightly reassured everyone. “Since Chiyou himself has appeared, it seems that the Demons’ objective truly is the Divine Demon Well entrance. We cannot sit idly by here. Let us go to Mount Fangcun,” Emperor Haotian said. “Chiyou’s strength is formidable. Even if the three of us join forces, I fear we have no chance of victory.” The voice of Tathagata Buddha echoed in the minds of Emperor Haotian and Yuan Tiangang. Such words of weakness might dampen the morale of the other members of the Alliance, so Tathagata Buddha communicated this telepathically. “With the Xuanhuang Wuji Array, we might be able to fight,” Emperor Haotian said. “This formation requires four people to activate it. Zhenyuan Taoist friend went to the Eastern Sea. It might be better to call Shen Luo out to help,” Tathagata Buddha suggested. “No, Daoist Friend Shen is currently at a critical stage in his cultivation. Interrupting him might risk ruining all his previous efforts. Chiyou’s strength has not fully recovered, and the three of us may not necessarily be unable to face him. Besides, I just performed a calculation secretly and found that this trip to Mount Fangcun will be perilous but not calamitous,” Yuan Tiangang communicated telepathically. Tathagata Buddha and Emperor Haotian knew that Yuan Tiangang’s calculations were extremely accurate, and a slight joy appeared in their eyes. The three quickly made deployments, leaving nearly half of the Alliance’s troops to guard Chang’an City, while Yuan Tiangang, Emperor Haotian, and Tathagata Buddha led the remaining troops to Mount Fangcun. Among the Taiyi Cultivators, Yang Jian, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Blue-haired Lion King, and Six-tusked White Elephant King followed along. Li Jing had just assembled the Great Army, and before they could depart, they joined up with Yuan Tiangang and the others on the road. Twenty to thirty large flying boats carried everyone towards Mount Fangcun. These flying boats were secret flying magical instruments made by Tianji City, and their speed was comparable to the escape light of a Great Mahayana Stage Cultivator, exceptionally swift. Yet, given the urgency of the situation, it still seemed too slow. Emperor Haotian flipped his hand to take out a green spiritual fan and waved it in mid-air. With a “boom,” a gust of green spiritual wind howled forth, enveloping all the flying boats. The scenery in front of everyone became hazy, and everything around them rapidly receded. Before long, the green spiritual wind suddenly dissipated, and everyone’s vision returned to normal. A towering mountain peak appeared ahead, its peak reaching the clouds, blessed with nature’s grace—this was Mount Fangcun. Everyone in the Alliance was greatly astounded, their gaze heatedly directed at the green treasure fan in Emperor Haotian’s hand—a single wave had transported hundreds of thousands of troops from Nan Shan Continent to West Niu Hezhou Continent. It was definitely not an ordinary Immortal Artifact. “I heard that Emperor Haotian possesses a Tianwu Fan, an ancestral witch weapon of the Wind Ancestor Sorcerer, Tian Wu. Could it be this thing?” Li Jing, looking at the spiritual fan in Emperor Haotian’s hand, quickly shifted his sight toward Mount Fangcun. Rolling devil clouds enshrouded the mountain peak, with countless demon soldiers and generals attacking the mountain. Many prohibition lights flickered around the mountainside—Mount Fangcun’s disciples were struggling to hold them off with these prohibitions, but being outnumbered, their lines quickly fell. In mid-air above Mount Fangcun, the Bodhi Ancestor was fiercely engaged with four individuals: Ape Ancestor, Mi Su, Nine Netherworlds, and Six-Eared Macaque, who were magic venerates. The Bodhi Ancestor’s cultivation level had reached the peak of the Taiyi Realm, just half a step from the Heavenly Venerate Realm. His body expanded to several hundred feet high, covered with mysterious spirit patterns, with a mystical golden halo floating behind his head, resembling an ancient titan god who supports the heavens and earth. If Shen Luo were here, he’d surely be greatly shocked. The golden halo is the Huangting Divine Light that appears only when the Huangting Technique is cultivated to its ultimate form, capable of enhancing the Huangting Technique’s power tenfold, effortlessly capturing stars and annihilating the cosmos. Although Shen Luo’s current cultivation level surpassed that of the Bodhi Ancestor, he hadn’t yet cultivated the Huangting Technique to this degree. The Bodhi Ancestor, formidable as he was, was clearly at a disadvantage against Ape Ancestor and the others. Both Nine Netherworlds and Six-Eared Macaque’s powers had reached the Taiyi Late Stage. Nine Netherworlds executed a technique of foul Yin laws, possessing a potent corrosive effect. Even the Huangting Technique’s golden light couldn’t stop it, leaving blotches of ashen-gray scars on the golden figure formed by Bodhi Ancestor. Six-Eared Macaque wielded a technique of sound wave laws, using a long, ancient bronze stick as his weapon. The stick had several holes drilled into it, producing eerie wails as it swung, causing a slight pain to appear on the face of the Bodhi Ancestor. Although Nine Netherworlds and Six-Eared Macaque’s divine powers were formidable, they only served to disturb the Bodhi Ancestor, with the real threat coming from Ape Ancestor and Mi Su. The cultivation levels of these two demons remained unchanged at the half-step Heavenly Venerate realm, with not much improvement. However, they’ve gained a new power of laws. Ape Ancestor wielded a silver giant stick, seemingly refined anew into a Magical Treasure. Apart from being entwined with Power Laws, the stick also carried explosive thunderous light, seemingly embedding explosive laws from thunder and lightning. The fusion of the two laws greatly enhanced the stick techniques of Ape Ancestor, making its speed as swift as lightning. Even when matched against the Bodhi Ancestor’s direct confrontations, it gained the upper hand more often than not. Mi Su performed a skill with a peculiar law, shooting out threads of white silk as she waved both hands, which wound around the Bodhi Ancestor’s body. With her fingers moving swiftly, white threads flowed endlessly; for every ten threads snapped, she spun out ten more, and for every hundred snapped, a hundred more emerged. Despite the Bodhi Ancestor’s efforts, his body was gradually entangled by more and more mysterious threads, not only hampering his movements but disturbing the Huangting Qi. The situation was rapidly deteriorating. “Audacious demon thief! Bodhi Friend, let me aid you!” Li Jing shouted in anger. Ape Ancestor also recognized the arrival of the Alliance Army, flicked his silver giant stick, and collided with the Exquisite Pagoda. With a resounding clash, both were sent flying back. Mi Su chose not to clash head-on with the Qiankun Xuanhuo Tower, dodging aside. But when it struck the white threads, with each ten snapped, she produced ten more; with each hundred snapped, a hundred appeared. The Square Cun Mountain Bodhi Ancestor’s body was gradually wrapped in more and more strange threads, his movements were hindered, Mana was significantly disturbed, and the situation quickly worsened. “You impudent demon thief! Bodhi Fellow, I come to assist you!” Li Jing roared in rage. The Blue-haired Lion King and Six-tusked White Elephant King also attacked simultaneously, striking at the Six-eared Macaque and Nine Netherworlds, forcing them to retreat. Ape Ancestor also discovered the arrival of the Alliance Army, shook his silver giant stick, and formed a hundred-foot-long silver stick shadow that collided with the Exquisite Pagoda. Each retreated with a loud, earth-shattering bang. Mi Su didn’t choose to collide with the Qiankun Xuanhuo Tower. She dodged aside, but when the Qiankun Xuanhuo Tower hit those white threads, for every ten threads shattered, ten more appeared, for every hundred threads, another hundred materialized. Bodhi Ancestor’s golden figure was being corroded with patches of grey and black stains. Ape Ancestor and the other three retreated hastily into the ranks of the Demon Clan Army, and the assault on Mount Fangcun was momentarily halted. “It’s the Alliance Army; Mount Fangcun is saved!” The remaining disciples of Mount Fangcun exclaimed excitedly.
