Chapter 293: Lei Jun Wields His Sword, Cardinal Gods Xiao Yin and Yang (Part 2)
"As for the north, the people of the Lone Eagle Khanate are said to be cruel and fierce, like wind and fire. They are not to be underestimated."
Soon, they had conquered Yuanzhou.
These outsiders were accustomed to sending out scouts, and they were both fierce and flexible in their tactics.
After occupying Yuanzhou, instead of heading south to the small Guan Mountain, they turned north and advanced towards Lingzhou.
Even without considering the advantage they hold against Confucian scholars, the people of the Lone Eagle Khan Kingdom are incredibly formidable when facing cultivators from other lineages.
Over the past decade, the Great Tang Confucian scholars have polished and improved their art, and while they are no longer as obviously disadvantaged against their martial arts, if they were to fight to the death, the losses would be immeasurable.
However, as Yuan Mobai said, they do show some sincerity in the current situation.
At the very least, they won't be a burden to the imperial family.
"It's hard to say about the senior sister in the east..." Lei Jun frowned slightly.
Yuan Mobai said, "It's mainly because we have limited information about the situation facing the void portals."
The intrusion of the Lone Eagle Khan Kingdom into the northwestern border of the Great Tang had brought calamity to the people.
However, as the territory of the Great Tang, the court had easy access to information from all directions.
In the East China Sea, the current focus was on the void portals connecting the Heavenly Principle to the human world.
And because of Xu Yuanzhen, there had already been a backlash against the Heavenly Principle from within.
As this was somewhat of an away game, information from all sides was scarce.
The situation was more likely to change in unexpected ways.
"Have the disciples of the mansion been instructed to avoid going up the mountain recently?" Yuan Mobai asked at the end.
Lei Jun said, "Master, rest assured, the message has been conveyed. The fellow disciples on the mountain will reduce their outings, and those currently traveling outside will not rush back to the mountain gate but will temporarily reside and cultivate in the various branch sects."
Yuan Mobai nodded slightly, "I hope we're just being overly cautious."
Lei Jun suddenly paused.
In the depths of his eyes, the Tian Tong Di Che talisman shone, reflecting its brilliance.
Seeing this, Yuan Mobai also remained silent, his expression becoming more solemn.
In the depths of Lei Jun's eyes, the light of the Tian Tong Di Che talisman was getting brighter and brighter.
It was establishing a connection with some of the Tian Shi Di Ting talismans he had scattered around the outskirts of Longhu Mountain.
These spiritual talismans usually hid in the wilderness, as if they didn't exist, and were used by Lei Jun as a precautionary measure in critical moments.
At this moment, he sensed some faint, vague shadows quietly approaching Longhu Mountain's Celestial Master's Mansion.
The sensation was extremely subtle.
With Lei Jun's divine Tian Tong Di Che talisman, he could only detect a few faint traces.
The traces were so faint and elusive that one might think it was an illusion.
But it was precisely because of this that the threat was even more apparent.
Because these faint shadows were the work of the Thousand-Leaf Butterfly King, one of the beings Lei Jun was most wary of.
After obtaining the leaf left by the Thousand-Leaf Butterfly King from Xu Yuanzhen, Lei Jun had carefully studied it.
If not for this, he might have been deceived today.
At the very least, he wouldn't have been able to be vigilant from a distance.
Because the intruders were all extremely powerful.
In this situation, with the help of the Thousand-Leaf Butterfly King's divine power to conceal their presence, it would be extremely difficult for anyone to sense them.
However, there was a trade-off, and precisely because Lei Jun was specifically guarding against such means and had studied them, he was immediately alert.
However, at this moment, a light bulb flashed in Lei Jun's mind, and words appeared:
> "The ancient talismans gather dragons and tigers, and the three factions merge to stir up the wind and clouds."
Then, four signs flew out of it, which Lei Jun read carefully:
> "Middle sign, leave the mountain immediately from the northwest and southeast directions, you can avoid temporary troubles, no extra gains or losses, neutral."
> "Middle sign, stand firm in the mountains, the winds are high and the waves are rough, there are certain risks, there is an opportunity for two third-grade opportunities, the subsequent cause and effect entanglements, be careful, neutral."
> "Lower middle sign, leave the mountain from the northwest direction, fall into deep trouble, there is an opportunity to obtain a fourth-grade opportunity, but the danger is heavy, be careful, ominous."
> "Lower middle sign, leave the mountain from the southeast direction, may encounter a huge crisis, ominous danger lurks, be careful, ominous."
Judging from the signs, the attack from the Human Realm Country was indeed fierce.
Also, if they were going to make a move, they had to strike like thunder and lightning, with pinpoint accuracy.
Among the Human Realm Country, there were at least five openly acknowledged Eighth Tier cultivators: Fu Dongsen, Rong Guangchen, Hong Jie, Wei Qiyue, and Gu Han.
At the same time, they possessed three great treasures: the Taiyi Xiantian Pagoda, the Qinxiao Mansion, and the Beiming Divine Spear.
While the main effect of the Qinxiao Mansion was not reflected in combat, the Taiyi Xiantian Pagoda and the Beiming Divine Spear were both powerful artifacts comparable to the Heavenly Master's Seal and Sword.
The former was renowned as the first treasure of Shu Mountain, while the latter was a fierce and mighty divine weapon.
In addition, there was the Thousand-Leaf Butterfly King, a great demon equivalent to a human cultivator at the Ninth Tier, who might have some connection with the Human Realm Country.
Not to mention the mysterious Emperor...
Lei Jun estimated that if the Human Realm Country were to attack with all their might, the corresponding sign would not be a middle sign.
However, this middle sign might bring about two third-grade opportunities, and the corresponding risk would certainly not be low.
And the two lower middle signs might also be their doing.
They had other arrangements, indicating that their goal was not simply to attack the Celestial Master's Mansion, but that they might have other ulterior motives.
Lei Jun guessed that they might be targeting the Wanfa Zongtan, or perhaps the Heavenly Chapter and the Initial Yang Jade Chapter from before...
He remained calm.
If the Heavenly Principle had come from the east, the other party might have been more patient.
But with the emergence of the Lone Eagle Khan Kingdom in the northwest, further attracting and tearing at the forces of the Great Tang cultivation world, it was within Lei Jun and his master's expectations that the Human Realm Country would take the opportunity to create chaos.
"Human Realm Country," Lei Jun said to his master, Yuan Mobai.
Yuan Mobai was unflustered and immediately disappeared from his original spot with no hesitation.
Lei Jun, on the other hand, sent messages to Xu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiaotang, Shangguan Ning, and Zhang Jingzhen, who were outside the mountain.
On Longhu Mountain, a strong light soon condensed, turning into a giant light pillar that soared into the sky. Countless talismans revolved within the pillar, as dazzling as the stars in the universe.
Yuan Mobai sat in the Wanfa Zongtan, his hands forming a seal in front of his chest, his expression calm and unperturbed.
As the Zongtan opened, the dazzling light rushed up into the clouds, and at the same time, the defensive formation of the entire Longhu Mountain Celestial Master's Mansion was activated.
With the formation activated, countless brilliant lights intertwined to form countless mysterious formation patterns, layer upon layer, merging together to form what looked like a gigantic three-layered altar that towered into the sky and penetrated the earth.
This altar enveloped the entire Longhu Mountain, isolating it from the outside world.
Within the Purple Cleansing Thunder Palace of the Upper Clarity Thunder Department, streaks of purple Nine Heavenly Divine Thunder descended, merging with the gigantic altar and causing it to shine with dazzling thunderous light, both offensive and defensive in nature.
As soon as the Longhu Mountain formation was activated, radiant light surged up to the clouds, illuminating the surroundings.
In the distance, several dark shadows emerged, gradually materializing under the glowing light.
With their cover blown, the intruders revealed themselves.
There were four of them: three men and one woman.
Two wore black and white robes, and the other two wore plain robes.
Their attire identified them as traditional cultivators from the Chunyang Palace and Shushan Sect.
One of them, with white hair and a youthful face, was the former Grand Elder of Chunyang Palace, Rong Guangchen. He had reached the fourth level of perfection in the Infant Transformation stage of the Dan Ding School's eighth heaven.
Another, a middle-aged Taoist with the appearance of a Chunyang Palace cultivator, was the former Xuanwu Elder of Chunyang Palace, Gu Han. He had attained the first level of the Infant Transformation stage of the Dan Ding School's eighth heaven.
The third, a Shushan Sect cultivator dressed in plain robes but with a dignified and gracious demeanor, was the former leader of the Shushan Sect, Fu Dongsen. He had achieved the fourth level of Great Perfection in the Void Shattering stage of the Refining School's eighth heaven.
The fourth, a Shu Mountain female crown with a stern gaze and imposing manner, was the former Grand Elder of Shushan Sect, Wei Qiyue. She had reached the second level of the Sea-Traveling stage of the Refining School's eighth heaven.
Seeing the Nine Heavenly Divine Thunder flashing on the giant altar and Longhu Mountain enveloped within, Fu Dongsen and the others realized that their presence had been detected.
Despite their failed ambush, the four human realm experts had no intention of retreating.
If their surprise attack didn't work, they would simply launch a direct assault.
Without a word, Fu Dongsen formed a hand seal in front of his chest.
Then, a shimmering expanse of ice-blue light appeared above his head, and the Beiming Divine Spear materialized.
It exuded both piercing cold and frigid sharpness.
A wave of bitter cold swept through the area, freezing the surrounding mountains, rivers, plants, and trees. Even in the bird-chirping, flower-blooming spring of the Jiangnan region, everything was transformed into a glacial wasteland.
The appearance of the Beiming Divine Spear above Fu Dongsen's head signaled the commencement of their attack.
The first to act was Rong Guangchen, the eldest among them.
Platinum flames began to emanate from his body, spreading outward like the wings of a divine bird.
Rong Guangchen took a step forward.
The pure yang true fire unique to the Chunyang Palace lineage gradually took on the form of a vermilion bird.
Then, it condensed and retracted.
As Rong Guangchen advanced, the vermilion bird seemed to merge into his body.
His steps became lighter, and his aura grew more formidable.
At this moment, Rong Guangchen appeared ageless, his youthful vigor belying any signs of old age or infirmity.
He exuded the strength of a peak Dan Ding School cultivator at the Infant Transformation stage of the eighth heaven.
Facing the towering three-layered altar that enveloped the entire Longhu Mountain peak, Rong Guangchen approached without haste and then lifted his hand, shaping it like a bird's beak as he struck downward.
The purple Nine Heavenly Divine Thunder clashed violently with the platinum pure yang true fire.
In the next moment, the icy-blue radiance condensed into an incredibly terrifying pillar of light that shot toward Longhu Mountain.
The reason Rong Guangchen took the first strike was that Fu Dongsen, wielder of the Beiming Divine Spear, did not launch an immediate attack but instead gathered his spiritual power.
Thus, as the Beiming Divine Spear flew in from a distance, its assault became even more formidable.
Rong Guangchen's initial strike served as a probe, triggering the defensive formation of Longhu Mountain. Fu Dongsen's more powerful blow swiftly followed, posing a significant threat.
The Wanfa Zongtan altar trembled with thunderous vibrations.
Fu Dongsen didn't stop, and the Beiming Divine Spear struck again and again, concentrating its attacks on a single point with relentless piercing and drilling motions.
Yuan Mobai, residing within the Wanfa Zongtan and overseeing the Longhu Mountain defensive formation, immediately sensed the sharpness of the Beiming Divine Spear, as well as the surge of frigid energy emanating from it.
The extreme cold continued to accumulate, seemingly capable of freezing even the yang fire and thunder.
The yang thunder retaliated, breaking through layers of frost.
However, at the same time, Rong Guangchen pressed his palms against the altar, channeling all his power and transforming his entire being.
The platinum flames vanished.
The vermilion bird, poised to take flight, disappeared.
In their place emerged the black tortoise and the pure yang, which rapidly transformed into yin cold energy, as the extreme yang gave birth to extreme yin.
This power combined with Fu Dongsen's Beiming Divine Spear.
Together, they began to freeze the thunderous lightning covering the surface of the three-layered altar.
Just then, the purple thunderous light gathering on the surface of Longhu Mountain's formation intensified even further.
It then concentrated on a single point, transforming into a peerlessly sharp purple thunderous sword light that burst forth from the three-layered altar, striking back at the intruders!
The sword light first targeted Rong Guangchen, forcing him to release his golden core to protect himself. All his power was channeled into defending against this assault.
The sword light flashed again, ignoring the attacking Beiming Divine Spear and slicing through the heavens to strike directly at Fu Dongsen himself.
Fu Dongsen recalled the Beiming Divine Spear to block this attack.
However, as the sword light slashed, purple thunderous light gave birth to black thunderous light, intertwining and swirling together.
The purple and black thunderous lights interwoven, emanating the concept of yin-yang harmony, a more profound mystery than the previous solitary Nine Heavenly Divine Thunder.
The divine thunder of the Shenxiao, the pivot of yin and yang!
With a single sword strike, the Beiming Divine Spear was cleaved in two, and the attack continued toward Fu Dongsen.
Fu Dongsen summoned another treasure to protect himself, but it was instantly cleaved into two halves by the intertwining purple and black sword light!
The split treasure then exploded violently.
Fu Dongsen fixed his gaze and saw a tall figure standing on the three-layered altar, which loomed taller than the mountains themselves.
It was Lei Jun.
Above Lei Jun's head hung the massive black Xuanxiao Five Thunder Talisman.
From the talisman, a black thunder dragon protruded its head, letting out a silent roar.
Streaks of profound thunder gathered and coiled around Lei Jun, eventually converging into his right hand.
In his hand, he held a talisman sword, its blade inscribed with talismans, dense with purple thunder. At this moment, the purple and black thunder interwove, mirroring the phenomenon in the sky.
At this moment, the Heavenly Master's Sword of the Longhu Mountain Tian Shi Fu was in Lei Jun's grasp, its blade pointing toward the enemies outside the mountain.
