Chapter 533: The Head of the Immortal Sect Visits the Confucian Thousand World (Part 2)
Chapter 533: The Head of the Immortal Sect Visits the Confucian Thousand World (Part 2)
Then, she turned around, hands on her hips, looking at Lei Jun beneath the ten-colored crane canopy, feeling that no matter how she looked at him, he seemed to be dazzling.
While Tang Xiaotang was feeling jealous, it didn't affect her from opening her own Dao Realm Mystic Wall · Primordial World.
After Xu Yuanzhen nodded to Yan Aoyun, he turned his attention to Tang Xiaotang, a slight smile on his lips, showing great interest in observing her current state.
However, at the same time, her Dao Realm Mystic Wall · Final Deep Space also opened.
Qiu Li's face turned grim, "Good, Yan Jiandong, you're indeed birds of a feather, colluding together!"
Wu Hailin, on the other hand, remained calm and only asked, "Does Dragon Tiger Mountain intend to interfere in the affairs of Confucianism?"
Lei Jun replied, "It's a convenient coincidence."
Despite the increase in enemies, Wu Hailin's Sacred Dust was scattered without fear of being surrounded.
But suddenly, he keenly sensed some unusual changes.
Lei Jun, Xu Yuanzhen, and Tang Xiaotang, all Second-Level Immortal Realm cultivators from the Immortal Realm, were connected through their Dao Realm Mystic Walls, and it seemed that a wonderful transformation was occurring as they resonated with each other.
This discovery made Wu Hailin's eyes narrow.
Although the native cultivators of the vast world of Confucianism had never reached such high cultivation levels, there were many descriptions of the Dao Realm Mystic Wall in ancient records.
It was known that the Supreme Purity Mystic Wall could affect the other Market Wall and even lower-level Great Vehicle Mystic Wall and Divine Court Universe, resonating together. Wu Hailin was naturally aware of this.
The Supreme Purity Mystic Wall could also promote each other during daily cultivation.
But he had never heard that the Supreme Purity Mystic Wall and the Supreme Purity Mystic Wall could produce even further additional changes.
That should be the wonder of the Three Purities True Returning Immortal Realm cultivators from the Purple Emperor Mystic Wall.
But now, the appearance of Lei Jun, Xu Yuanzhen, and Tang Xiaotang...
Wu Hailin guessed that it might be related to the exceptional talents of these three individuals.
With such astonishing talents appearing in the same era, and all of them happening to be Second-Level Immortal Realm cultivators from the Supreme Purity Mystic Wall, there was no record of this in history.
These three individuals might set numerous precedents.
"The revival of Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion is indeed a cause for celebration." As Yan Aoyun spoke, he also released a large amount of light dust, forming a seemingly weak but incredibly resilient light screen to help Lei Jun and the other two block Wu Hailin's Sacred Dust, which he had secretly scattered to prevent their three Dao Realm Mystic Walls from resonating.
One problem was resolved, but another arose. Below Yuzhou's mountains, the sacrificial ritual left by Zheng Baiyu began to stir.
Seeing the ritual about to self-destruct, Wu Hailin, Yan Aoyun, and even Qiu Li frowned.
"Although this ritual was left by Zheng Baiyu, there's no need to waste it."
Lei Jun spoke calmly, repeating the words previously spoken by Time Abyss, "Yan Zike, please go ahead."
As he spoke, his Yin-Yang Universe gradually merged with Xu Yuanzhen's Final Deep Space and Tang Xiaotang's Primordial World.
The Dao Realm Mystic Wall of the third level merged into a single true form.
There was no visible surge of vast magical power and spiritual energy, but an infinite aura of profound mysteries permeated the air.
The profound tones of the Great Dao echoed in everyone's ears, with purple, golden, and green halos enveloping the unified Dao Realm Mystic Wall.
Yan Aoyun, seeing this, wore an admiring expression, took a deep breath, and bowed to Lei Jun and the others. Then, he gracefully descended to protect the turbulent sacrificial ritual.
His figure subtly merged with the ritual, disappearing into the radiant light.
Wu Hailin kept his eyes fixed, undistracted.
The unexpected changes of the three opponents did not allow him to divert his attention.
He immediately unfolded the Homeland and world, engaging head-on with the three unified Dao Realm Mystic Walls, stabilizing the situation and suppressing the capturing force emanating from them.
Qiu Li intended to stop Yan Aoyun.
However, he found that once he detached from Wu Hailin’s homeland and World, he would be captured and consumed by the opposing Dao Realm Mystic Wall.
Faced with this opponent, his homeland and World were completely overwhelmed and could only barely hold their ground with the support of Wu Hailin’s vast and profound scholarly aura.
"Not truly cultivating three Third Level Immortal Realm cultivators is already fortunate. How can one expect more?" Wu Hailin did not turn back, keeping his eyes on Lei Jun and the others.
Qiu Li said, "Zheng Beichen’s sacrificial ritual will soon elevate Yan Jiangdong to the next level!"
Wu Hailin observed the unified Dao realm mystical Wall formed by Lei Jun and the others. "Indeed, we can only see which side is faster. There is no room for distraction now."
Qiu Li took a deep breath. "Brother Yue Yuan is right. I have learned much."
As he spoke, the vast and profound scholarly aura surged, its momentum overwhelming.
As the current patriarch of the Luqiu Qiu Family, Qiu Li possessed the Confucian foundation of a divine brush and an eight-dippers' talent.
The eight delpers' talent often made him unafraid of being surrounded due to its sweeping dominance, but it was less suitable for collaboration.
If Zheng Yan were beside him now, Qiu Li might have restrained his eight delpers' talent more.
But with Wu Hailin by his side, he could freely display all its advantages.
Under the surge of the vast and profound scholarly aura, numerous illusive images appeared, spreading in all directions. Fortified cities, armies, and countless military equipment filled the scene, resembling a grand military expedition with a terrifying momentum.
This was Qiu Li’s first Sage Art: "King's Expedition."
Compared to Qiu Xuan He’s Sage Art, which created a large number of chariots and formations, Qiu Li’s "king's Expedition" created a more vast and three-dimensional scene.
Real bowstring sounds and horse neighs continuously echoed.
Countless war chariots stood ready to engage, and countless arrows with flashing cold light pointed towards Lei Jun and the others.
But Wu Hailin moved even before Qiu Li did.
However, he did not directly attack Lei Jun and the others but instead unfolded his Inch Heart Seal again.
Thus, in the space of the battle formation, numerous specks of dust shimmered with light, becoming visible.
Qiu Li recognized this as Tang Xiaotang’s Opening Pearl technique, and was not surprised to see it thwarted by Wu Hailin again.
Wu Hailin, however, frowned slightly.
When only Tang Xiaotang was present, he did not need to pay special attention. Even while battling Yan Aoyun, the Scholarly Star Illumination allowed him to detect Tang Xiaotang’s Opening Pearl.
But with Lei Jun, Xu Yuanzhen, and Tang Xiaotang’s three unified Dao Realm Mystic Walls, even Wu Hailin needed to be more vigilant, concentrating to notice the approach of the Opening Pearl.
He could not be sure if he had captured all the Opening Pearls, so this time he did not rely solely on one Inch Heart seal. Instead, he deployed multiple seals in various directions, capturing the Opening Pearls together.
Between attack and defense, many things became evident.
This was the situation here, but on the other side...
In the dark void of the universe, several lightning rays suddenly rose, illuminating all directions, converging into an endless sea of thunder that continuously swept through.
Under the three unified Dao Realm Mystic Walls, not only did Tang Xiaotang’s Opening Pearl gain strength, but Lei Jun’s Responsive Thunder Emperor Body and the Heaven Penetrating Earth Thorough Talisman also improved.
While Tang Xiaotang detected the approaching specks of dust, Lei Jun also noticed the subtle dust particles this time.
As the Opening Pearl was secretly deployed, the Holy Dust from the other side also arrived quietly.
Lei Jun activated the Thunder Emperor City, opening the Tai Chi Twelve Thunder Gates, making the thunder sea roar, preventing the approach of Wu Hailin’s Holy Dust.
The Three Caves Three Heavens Supreme Dragon tiger Immortal Array could not be brought here from the vast Confucian world.
And with the possibility of encountering strong enemies like Wu Hailin and Zheng Baiyu here, Lei Jun would not come unprepared.
Xu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiaotang, and he, all being of the same Dao Realm Mystic Wall, could achieve what others could not!
"I really don’t believe in evil... Alright, this time back, I will continue to refine my Opening Pearl!" Tang Xiaotang huffed, ceasing to try the Opening Pearl.
She then activated a black and white Tai chi diagram, using the Primordial Breath dragon tiger combo to form a bright light pillar, sweeping through the advancing chariots of Qiu Li’s army.
Xu Yuanzhen, facing Wu Hailin, clicked her tongue in admiration. "Impressive."
Lei Jun said, "Observing the inch, containing the universe, saying he doesn’t have a strategy would be harder."
Just as Xu Yuanzhen excels at dealing with opponents similar to her, Wu Hailin’s Observing the Inch, which penetrates into the finest details, means... his cultivation is refined, his words are chosen with precision, leaving no room for the opponent to exploit.
His first Sage Art after achieving sainthood was called "Piercingly Detailed."
The insight of containing the universe and the Scholarly Star Illumination · Observing the Inch, allowed Wu Hailin to be impeccable himself, often finding and exploiting the opponent’s weaknesses, much like a butcher dissecting an ox.
Thus, Lei Jun would not consider revealing his yet-to-be-refined Supreme Purity Eight Sceneries Treasure Cape, as it would only make it easier for Wu Hailin to find an opportunity.
To some extent, the opponent resembled Xu Yuanzhen.
And due to the characteristic of Observing the inch, while Wu Hailin might be inferior to Xu Yuanzhen, who possessed the Dao Body of the Beginning, he had fewer vulnerabilities.
To win against him, the most effective method is to directly confront and force Wu Hailin to engage in a step-by-step, head-on clash, just like how the Great Annihilation Bodhisattva did.
Xu Yuanzhen has cultivated the Xuanmen, but Wu Hailin and Lian Feng are not on the same level. At this moment, as she observes Wu Hailin, she hasn't found any exploitable weaknesses."
Lei Jun's Supreme Ultimate True Interpretation can forcefully decipher and match the opponent's changes, which could be effective, but compared to facing other enemies, it would still be a discounted version.
"In times like these, the principle of 'scholars meeting soldiers' is more useful."
Lei Jun smiled, and as thunder clashed, the Celestial Master True Body appeared. Before his words could land, he disappeared from his original spot, with no time interval to speak of, and directly appeared in front of Wu Hailin.
Tang Xiaotang shouted, and with the Supreme Vessel's empowerment, she also charged into Wu Hailin's Homeland and World.
Xu Yuanzhen calmly remained in her original spot without moving, maintaining the stability of the Three Realms Mystic Union, while the Dragon Tiger Mystic Strike's radiance flashed, continuously teleporting several more Holy Dust from the shadows.
Wu Hailin took a glance and knew that within a certain range, they were always supported by the Three Realms Mystic Union.
He was not afraid of close combat, and his second Sage Art · Inch Heart Seal and third Sage Art · Inch Sword City both possessed extraordinary power.
Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang's speed was indeed extraordinary, but Wu Hailin also had the fourth Sage Art · Dust Unreachable, which provided him with a speed far surpassing that of ordinary Confucian Sages.
Even if he couldn't match Lei Jun, it was enough for Wu Hailin to support the situation.
On the other side, Qiu Li faced a much more challenging battle.
Tang Xiaotang's speed was truly exceptional.
Everyone received the empowerment of the Three Realms Mystic Union, and Lei Jun's Celestial Master True Body, compared to its previous state, had limited improvement.
This was within his expectations, and as his cultivation realm continued to rise, the Celestial Master True Body awaited further advancement.
On the contrary, Tang Xiaotang, without any inhibitions, burned her own Supreme Profound Qi. At this moment, under the empowerment of the Three Realms Mystic Union, her speed, compared to earlier, became increasingly unrestrained, and even gradually started to surpass Lei Jun.
Qiu Li's second Immortal Art · Scholar with Five Carts unfolded, harmonizing with his extraordinary talent, further enhancing the Nine Heavens' Five Classics: Poetry, Book, Rites, Changes, and Spring and Autumn.
His literary and talented aura condensed into five special chariot formations, and when the fourth cart, "Changes," was pushed to its limits, he could barely withstand Tang Xiaotang's onslaught through prediction, but he was still left struggling.
In just an instant, Tang Xiaotang's back and forth attacks seemed to number in the millions.
Thus, in that instant, Qiu Li also found himself unable to defend, as Tang Xiaotang broke through his defensive circle and struck him with a sword.
Qiu Li had no choice but to display his third Immortal Art · Righteous Gate Forest to defend himself.
A majestic and grand gatehouse glowed with white light, blocking Qiu Li's path, but it was still split open by Tang Xiaotang's sword, forcing Qiu Li to dodge hastily.
Wu Hailin observed this, and with a long sigh, he recited: "What does Heaven say? The four seasons pass, and all things grow, what does Heaven say?"
The Everlasting Merit Monument shone with light, and the Virtuous Wind blew along with it.
Qiu Li quickly climbed onto the fifth cart, "Spring and Autumn," and recited: "Heaven's ways are constant, not favoring Yao nor perishing with Jie."
The two Confucian Sage Kings spoke together, and under the blowing of the Virtuous Wind, the distant Three Realms Mystic Union suddenly became unstable, showing signs of decomposition.
Xu Yuanzhen, remaining in the Dao Realm Mystic Wall, showed no change in her expression. The colorless, transparent, yet visible outline of the River of Transformation flowed around her body once more.
However, compared to dealing with Lian Feng's Heavenly Law and Earthly Righteousness, the River of Transformation flowed much slower.
As the world changed, it seemed to slow down as well.
The changes brought about by Wu Hailin and Qiu Li also slowed down accordingly.
However, at this moment, it was only a slowdown, and the interference with the Three Realms Mystic Union still affected Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang, who could sense the reduction in their empowerment.
Qiu Li seized the opportunity to escape with Wu Hailin's cover.
Tang Xiaotang, seeing this, was dissatisfied. She drummed her cheeks and suppressed her anger, instead retreating back to Xu Yuanzhen's side.
With her as the center, the Immortal Body of the Valley God continuously circulated, and an endless, wondrous stream of aura, like a never-ending supply, continuously replenished the Dao Realm Mystic Wall.
With her and Xu Yuanzhen working together, the Three Realms Mystic Union stabilized once more.
Wu Hailin, seeing this, shook his head slightly.
Previously, he could draw upon the Confucian world's entire realm, the old learning of all the prestigious families' scholarly lineages, to empower him in battle.
But that was only possible with Yan Aoyun's cooperation, ensuring that she didn't cause any disruptions.
Currently, with Yan Aoyun's interference, he couldn't repeat the same technique.
Wu Hailin could vaguely sense that Yan Aoyun had started to impact higher realms through that ritual, but her interference with the human world's scholarly lineages still existed.
After another unsuccessful attempt, Wu Hailin changed his approach from the earlier Holy Dust scattered in an invisible state. Suddenly, he condensed a large amount of Holy Dust and concentrated it to help him block Lei Jun.
Seizing this momentary opportunity, Wu Hailin suddenly raised his hand and lightly tapped with his index finger.
At his fingertip, countless microscopic dust particles seemed to collapse and annihilate together.
The resulting terrifying light flow instantly extended forward, transforming into a channel of destruction that approached Lei Jun.
Wherever the light flow passed, it was as if the stars in the sky were burning and destroying, and even Wu Hailin's own Homeland and World were affected by its power.
This was Wu Hailin's sixth Immortal Art.
Its name was Finger Heaven Waterfall.
The attack's power was extraordinary, and during the previous battle in the Central Region, with the empowerment of the Confucian world and Yan Aoyun's assistance, it even rivaled the Great Annihilation Bodhisattva's terrifying power of destruction.
Although it wasn't as powerful as during the Central Region battle, its might was still terrifying.
But as Wu Hailin raised his hand, three strange phenomena appeared around Lei Jun's body.
Heaven's Nine Fields.
Purple Emperor's Imperial Scenery.
Earth's Nine Abysses.
These three strange phenomena each took their own center, and in an instant, they evolved into Xu Yuanzhen's Divine Scenery of Shenxiao, Beiji, and Youming, the three great immortal realms.
At this moment, the three great immortal realms suddenly merged, presenting the wonder of Three Heavens as One and Three Caves as One.
Time and space twisted together, protecting Lei Jun within, and withstanding Wu Hailin's powerful Finger Heaven Waterfall!
Wu Hailin's heart trembled, and he saw that within the Three Heavens as One immortal realm, behind Lei Jun, a gigantic Black and Yellow Taiji Diagram stood upright.
The Black and Yellow Taiji Diagram shone with light, and the Three Heavens as One immortal realm spoke on its own, and then a fierce Yin and Yang Mystic Illumination counterattacked, transforming into a vast light flow that rushed towards Wu Hailin.
Wu Hailin's body was struck on the spot!
However, in the blink of an eye, his body transformed into a tiny speck of Holy Dust.
Wu Hailin himself appeared at the other end.
The moment he appeared, another finger-pointed Heavenly waterfall was immediately launched, this time aimed at the distant Xu Yuanzhen.
With his keen eyesight, he could confirm that the opponent's Three Heavens Unification Immortal Realm used for defense could not quickly cover both Lei Jun and Xu Yuanzhen, who were at opposite ends.
Wu Hailin's judgment was correct.
However, Xu Yuanzhen had no intention of retracting the Three realms.
The space before her distorted, like water rippling.
A completely transparent, edge-blurred treasure mirror appeared, helping her resist the opponent's finger-pointed heavenly waterfall.
Unlike Lian Feng, Xu Yuanzhen would not just rely on the Great Void Mirror to counter such a formidable attack but would fully concentrate on manifesting the Great Void Mirror to counter the opponent's concentrated assault.
Even so, this time the finger-pointed heavenly waterfall did not refract but shattered and scattered in multiple directions without reflecting back to Wu Hailin.
Qiu Li completely abandoned the idea of getting closer and deployed the "King's Expedition" military formation, then continuously reinforced it with the "Book" and "Ritual" carts from the "Scholar with Five Chariots," making the attack stronger, and launching it remotely at Lei Jun and the other two.
However, Lei Jun's Yellow and Black Fusion Illumination turned, instantly sweeping Qiu Li off his feet.
On the other side, Tang Xiaotang condensed true fire, while Xu Yuanzhen condensed divine thunder. After being circulated through Tang Xiaotang's Primordial Breath, they launched a combined attack with even greater power, the Black and White Tai Chi Diagram's light flow was not continuously fierce but transformed into a series of rapid light beams, weaving through the air and continuously piercing Wu Hailin's specks of Holy Dust, faster than he could regenerate.
Qiu Li, seeing this, felt a sense of absurdity:
He couldn't compete in close combat.
Now, even in long-range attacks, they couldn't match?
Wu Hailin remained calm, after two finger-pointed heavenly waterfalls were intercepted by Xu Yuanzhen's Great Void Mirror, he suddenly redirected the attack at Lei Jun.
Xu Yuanzhen's three realms were about to shield Lei Jun again, but when they tried to converge, they unexpectedly hesitated.
Unbeknownst, Wu Hailin had secretly affixed several Inch Heart Seals.
Though small, the Inch Heart Seals firmly held the vast realms in place.
The finger-pointed heavenly waterfall, growing from minute to immense, instantly pierced through Xu Yuanzhen's solitary Northern Pole Immortal realm and continued towards Lei Jun.
Lei Jun did not dodge, a Thunder Emperor City appeared around him, blocking the attack.
Despite the Thunder Emperor City's inherent sturdiness, it still showed gaps under the finger-pointed heavenly waterfall's assault.
However, Lei Jun seemed oblivious, not dodging, the Yellow and black fusion illumination reappeared, shooting towards Wu Hailin.
Wu Hailin, noticing Lei Jun's Yellow and Black Fusion Illumination was not only destructive but also gentle this time.
Through the light flow, something else was mixed in.
Just as he escaped using the Holy Dust, the true nature of the object in the yellow and black fusion illumination revealed, a five-colored crane canopy, Lei Jun's artifact, was not just for show.
As the ten-colored crane canopy spun, streams of clear qi unfurled, directly ensnaring Wu Hailin, preventing his escape.
Wu Hailin remained unperturbed, at the critical moment, the finger-pointed heavenly waterfall reappeared, attacking Lei Jun head-on.
But Lei Jun's back was the Yellow and Black Tai Chi Diagram, merging into a black and white one.
The Yellow and black fusion illumination further transformed into the "Universe's Radiant Light"!
Under the head-on attack, he forcefully overpowered Wu Hailin's finger-pointed heavenly waterfall!
Wu Hailin, helpless, though unable to escape directly using the Holy Dust, now combined the Holy Dust, Inch Heart Seal, and "Dust Unreachable" three divine arts, completely merging, his body becoming exceedingly small.
Almost infinitely small, as if he never existed.
Lei Jun's "Universe's Radiant Light" was strong, but like a thousand horses galloping, trampling anything in their way, the tiny grains of sand evaded the iron hooves.
"Decree!"
In the distance, Xu Yuanzhen laughed lightly.
Her River of Transformation enhanced Lei Jun.
Under the transformation, her divine art reduced the opponent's power while enhancing Lei Jun's immortal art. Though the power didn't increase much, it became more refined and intricate.
Thus, the sieve's holes further narrowed, not allowing the opponent to escape.
The vast "Universe's Radiant Light" forcibly revealed Wu Hailin again!
Though Wu Hailin used the divine art "Dust Unreachable," he was still injured by Lei Jun's "Universe's Radiant Light."
Tang Xiaotang suddenly appeared before him, delivering a full-strength strike with the Counter-Origin Sword, the single-point attack was immensely powerful, instantly splitting Wu Hailin in two.
Wu Hailin countered with a palm, the seal on his palm glowing, the Inch Sword City collapsing Tang Xiaotang's shoulder, unprotected by the Counter-Origin Robe.
Tang Xiaotang seemed unfazed, her Immortal Body of the Valley Spirit healing her injuries, then she delivered another strike, thoroughly severing Wu Hailin's remaining body, the strike continuing to pierce Qiu Li's Righteous Gate Forest.
Lei Jun's "Universe's Radiant Light" continued to shine, sweeping Qiu Li.
Simultaneously, the Supreme Purity Jade Capital Immortal Bamboo flew out, delivering an aerial strike.
A speck of Holy Dust was struck by the Supreme Purity Jade Capital Immortal Bamboo, but it also gained a mark of the Inch Heart Seal.
The green bamboo staff paused in mid-air, a light flow flashing.
The "Homeland and World" opposing the Three Realms' Truth collapsed.
In the ancestral land of the Guanzhong Wu Clan, a crack appeared on a merit monument, but it didn't completely shatter.
With the "Eternal Glory," a figure formed from the light beneath the monument.
In Yuzhou, after Lei Jun's "Universe's Radiant Light" killed Qiu Li, he raised his hand, the Supreme Ultimate True Interpretation's light sweeping over the Supreme Purity Jade Capital Immortal Bamboo.
The Inch Heart Seal Seal could no longer affect the green bamboo staff.
The eleven-section green bamboo staff resumed its dance, delivering an aerial strike, shattering a figure.
In the ancestral land of the Luqiu Qiu Family, the merit monument of the family head, Qiu Li, instantly turned to ashes, no longer retaining its immortal appearance, foretelling the end of this Third Level Immortal Realm Sage King of Confucianism on that day!
