Chapter 248 Yuan Tiangang
On top of Qi Mountain, Tian Luo laughed loudly. Looking at Li Ye in a distance, he smiled cruelly. “Devil, you have killed my guardian warriors, my arhats, and my monk corps. You have destroyed the 800-year accumulation of my Buddhism and the trend of my Buddhism’s going out of the world. This is the price you have to pay! Do you regret it now? But, it’s too late! Buddhism will suppress you here, destroying your souls and spirits. All of you will never be reincarnated!”
Li Ye opened his eyes, and his eyes were as sharp as swords. As he reached out his hand and move it backward, the Luke Sword flew into his hand. He lifted his feet and rushed out. “F*ck you!”
Being frightened, Su Ei couldn’t stop him. Li Ye had serious injuries and less than one-tenth strength left, so he couldn’t cut off the purple and golden fire pillars. Even if he could cut off a fire pillar if he concentrated all of his strength into one blow like Nangong Diyi’s, he would end up like him too. How could he still have strength left to deal with Tian Luo?
“Alas.”
A heavy sigh of vicissitudes was suddenly heard in the air, coming from nowhere. But as soon as it appeared, everyone felt the overwhelming pressure.
Li Ye was forced to stop rushing forward. His body was like being held in situ by an invisible hand, unable to move forward any more.
Li Ye was stunned, and then he imdiately woke up. Looking at the purple and golden fire pillars that were so close, he felt cold at his back. But what made him more frightened was that the power that appeared out of thin air could break through the Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation and constrain his body. How strong it was!
Li Ye looked back, raising his head, and saw two people coming in the air. Wherever they went, the golden clouds swept aside like the tide to make way for them.
Li Ye knew one of these two people, but not the other one.
No, suddenly, Li Ye thought he knew both of them.
In the oblique valley, Xu Pingjing and the others were all stunned as they saw these two people suddenly appear. No one knew how the two people moved, but the golden clouds of great pressure were spreading layer by layer before them. Even the Sword Wielder of Shushan couldn’t be so powerful.
Xu Pingjing said in shock, “Who, who are those guys?”
Wu Jinling and Wang Sanxian shook their heads at the sa ti. The overwhelming pressure appeared on them again, and the cultivation they could mobilize once declined rapidly. “I haven’t seen them before. How can they be so powerful? Such strong cultivation power, and such overwhelming pressure... How can a cultivator in the world have such high cultivation? This is impossible! Could it be that the immortal is descending to the human world?”
A long ti later, Bai Jingxue suddenly sneered. “You don’t even know the Celestial Master, so how dare you claim to a Taoist? You have brought sha to the Taoist sect!”
“Celestial, Celestial Master?” Xu Pingjing and the others looked at each other. Since the Tang Empire, the people who could be called the Celestial Master could only be... These people hurriedly concentrated their attention on the coming people, but they couldn’t see them clearly. The other sides were clearly over there, but they seed unpredictable, looking like real and yet illusory.
Wei Xiaozhuang looked up. When he saw the coming people in the air, he was stunned, and then, he quickly rubbed his eyes. After making sure that he was right, he cried loudly. He cried out in sorrow, “Master! Why do you co so late?”
One of the two people in the air was the browned cloaked Taoist, Chu Nanhuai.
Su Ei didn’t cry out in surprise because she found sothing wrong. “Chu Nanhuai, who is in the Spiritual Master Realm, is following that person? Moreover, Chu Nanhuai has gone to the sea to visit immortals, so he should now be in the East Sea. How can he suddenly appear here? It’s not difficult for a person, who is in the Spiritual Master Realm, to walk 500 kiloters in a day, but East Sea is far more than 500 kiloters away from Fengxiang.”
“Who is the person walking in front of Chu Nanhuai?”
On top of Qi Mountain, when Tian Luo and Fa Yi saw the coming person, their expressions changed drastically. As the leaders of Buddhism, they could recognize him at a glance, even if they had never seen him in person, because this person had made a deep impression on Buddhism and brought serious harm to Buddhism.
For hundreds of years, from generation to generation, the first cultivators of the country went west to the Big Snow Temple in Golden Mountain alone, holding their swords. But so far, only one person was unable to escape from the Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation.
When seeing this person, how could Tian Luo and Fa Yi not be frightened?
“Dressed in cyan clothes and holding swords, the cultivators went out of Yangguan and went west to Golden Mountain alone. They fought to the death without leaving their nas, but they only concerned about the country’s stability.” The person in front of Chu Nanhuai was exactly the fisherman on the small island in the East Sea. Dressed in cyan, he walked leisurely, as if there was a passage in the air. Instantly, he ca before 8 purple and golden fire pillars. “I’ve never thought that I would co back to the country again.”
While saying this, the fisherman looked at Li Ye, who was standing among 8 purple and golden fire pillars, and smiled for an inexplicable reason. “All the people in the world say that you have got Celestial Master Yuan’s inheritance in Cloud-engulfed Mountain and that you are Yuan Tiangang’s heir. I did leave a piece of Taoist scriptures, which contained Taoist’s Opportunity, on Tai Xuan Summit, but at best, it could make people’s cultivation better. That’s not an inheritance.”
When the other side was looking at him, Li Ye felt that he had been seen through, as if the other side had already known the secret of his rebirth and transmigration. When he heard the other side’s words, Li Ye’s heart was full of mixed emotions. Smiling bitterly, he said with cupped hands, “Glad to et you, Celestial Master Yuan.”
There was only one Celestial Master in the Tang Empire. That was Celestial Master Yuan, Yuan Tiangang!
This person was the forr Chief of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory and the most mysterious Taoist of the whole Tang Empire. He could be seen everywhere in the glorious age of the Tang Empire, but he disappeared mysteriously without any reason later, and there was no trace of him in the world anymore. So people said that he had lived in seclusion in the mountains, and so people said that he had achieved the Great Tao and beco an immortal.
Before his transmigration, Li Ye was also a Yang Spiritual Master, only one step away from immortality, but he had never seen Yuan Tiangang on the earth. He was a legend, a true legend. Every object he left behind would be sought after by cultivators, including those Taoist scriptures.
At only a glance, Li Ye was sure that the linen-clothed Taoist, who looked like a fisherman, was Yuan Tiangang. Maybe, after he comprehended the Taoist scriptures that Yuan Tiangang left behind, he had telepathy with Yuan Tiangang.
However, even though Li Ye had once reached the Yang Spiritual Master Realm, he couldn’t see through what realm Yuan Tiangang’s cultivation had reached.
Above the Yang Spiritual Master, it was the immortal.
Yuan Tiangang sighed. “I didn’t expect that the Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation would appear in the Tang Empire. For hundreds of years, so many talented cultivators gave up the great opportunity to beco immortals and went to the Western Regions alone, just because they wanted to stop Buddhism from going out to the east. But I didn’t expect that you would arrive at the Tang Empire on a large scale at present.”
While saying this, Yuan Tiangang looked slightly painful. Even though his cultivation was so high that he had comprehended the Great Tao, he couldn’t help but feel painful while he was speaking of this matter.
He flicked his fingers twice. Two streams of light flew out from his fingertips and respectively drilled into between Li Xian’s and Nangong Diyi’s glabella. “There are talents from generation to generation in the country, and the Central Plains never lacks people with lofty ideals. You’re fighting for the country. If you die before achieving triumph, the people in the world will feel bitterly disappointed.”
Li Xian was burnt all over, and Nangong Diyi was lying in the big hole, motionless. After the streams of light drilled into between their eyebrows, the cyan and white smoke suddenly ca out from their bodies. The two weak people, who had only one breath left, gradually breathed powerfully, and their faces began to turn red.
Wei Xiaozhuang was overjoyed and couldn’t help clapping and jumping. “They are alive again!”
As Li Ye saw this scene, he was shocked and looked at Yuan Tiangang with a complicated expression. Even Chu Nanhuai, who was standing behind Yuan Tiangang, also looked sorrowful. He wanted to say sothing but hesitated.
Yuan Tiangang waved his hand, calmly stopping Chu Nanhuai from speaking. “I don’t intend to beco an immortal. I’ve already broken the rules for I’ve stayed in the world for such a long ti. It’s a trivial matter.”
On top of Qi Mountain, as he saw this scene, Tian Luo’s expression changed greatly, and he couldn’t help but shout, “Yuan Tiangang! These two people are dood to die. You will be punished by heaven if you interfere with destiny without permission!”
Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, Yuan Tiangang sneered. “Be punished by heaven? Am I afraid of that?”
This remark was particularly arrogant. Even though Tian Luo was eloquent, he was speechless at this mont, because Yuan Tiangang had the strength to say this.
But Tian Luo clearly didn’t intend to give up, and he didn’t think that he would lose. Gnashing his teeth, he said, “A hundred years ago, you killed my abbot and destroyed the foundation of my Buddhism in the Big Snow Temple. You are the mortal enemy of Buddhism. Last ti, you luckily escaped from the Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation, but you dare to co again today. Do you really think that the Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation can do nothing to you?! Today, the trend of my Buddhism’s going out of the world has collapsed, but the Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation will definitely kill you!”
In the sky, behind the clouds, the bust of golden Buddha was raising its head. As Tian Luo’s shouting, golden light suddenly shone brightly between its eyebrows. A circle of elliptical light was ford, as if a Buddha was about to walk out of it.
Now, the Buddha’s power was added to the Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation.
Yuan Tiangang sneered. “This ti, when your Buddhism went out of the world, the number of guardian warriors, arhats, and monks increased greatly, and the Buddha’s power was also added to the Great Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation. You can kill all the cultivators, who are below the Immortal Realm, so naturally, you won’t take seriously.”
At this point, he looked at Li Ye and suddenly said solemnly, “I want to be alive, and at the sa ti, I want justice as well. It is the lifeti pursuit of our cultivators to achieve the Great Tao and beco immortals. Li Ye, do you know why for hundreds of years, those first masters in the country, who were most likely to achieve the Great Tao and beco immortals, had to go west to the Big Snow Temple alone with their swords? Do you know why I gave up the chance to beco an immortal?”
At this ti, Li Xian and Nangong Diyi already sat up. They were stunned as they saw Yuan Tiangang in the air.
It wasn’t difficult to answer this question. Li Ye seriously said, “So people will give up justice for their lives, so naturally, so people will sacrifice their lives for justice. It depends on what they value. For those cultivators who went west with their swords, their Great Tao was the country’s stability and the inheritance of their religion, not to beco immortals. Therefore, they chose to die for the Great Tao.”
Speaking of this, Li Ye paused. “Celestial Master, you didn’t beco an immortal, not because you were unable to do so, but because you were unwilling to do so. Then, I think there were only two reasons, either you were disdainful of the Immortal Court, or you were unwilling to leave the country.”
Yuan Tiangang laughed happily. “Right, you’re right. Everyone has his own Great Tao, so why should we be the sa? There are tens of thousands of cultivators. Do they all want to beco immortals? Since they cultivate the Great Tao for freedom, they won’t be willing to be constrained by the Immortal Court, which has no difference from being officials in the Imperial Court. This kind of Immortal Court isn’t worth going.”
