Chapter 242 "Kunpeng" Mediation, Rest Day
Good books are never stopped being updated, waiting for you to appreciate them.
After Jiang Ziya and the others were all sent back to Tongguan, Kunpeng did not choose to leave directly.
He hovered in mid-air, and with a flash, he appeared in the center of the battlefield where the Twelve Golden Immortals and the disciples of the Intercepting Sect were fighting.
When Kunpeng appeared, it did not conceal its aura, but instead released the pressure of a quasi-saint without reservation.
He primarily cultivates the principles of Yin and Yang, while Taibai cultivates the principles of the Five Elements.
Taibai's cultivation level is still that of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal. Although he can imitate the aura of the Kunpeng, he has no chance of simulating the power of the Yin-Yang Law.
Fortunately, Kunpeng also cultivated the laws of water, and at this moment he used the laws of water from the Five Elements to awe the entire audience.
The moment they felt that immense pressure, both sides stopped fighting.
This kind of quasi-saint aura is something that even a Taiyi Golden Immortal or a Golden Immortal cannot withstand.
Although no one showed it on their faces, a strong sense of fear welled up in their hearts. No one knew where Kunpeng had come from to seek help.
If invited by the enemy, our side will suffer heavy losses, or even be completely wiped out.
Given the fearsome reputation of the Demon Master Kunpeng, since he has been entrusted with this task, he will certainly not show any mercy.
Moreover, there must be a sage behind him who can persuade him, so why would he be afraid of offending another sage?
However, after Kunpeng descended, it did not immediately make a move, but merely lowered its eyes and glanced at everyone with indifferent eyes.
Finally, his gaze fell on Ran Deng, who had been taking advantage of the situation, and a hint of undisguised disgust flashed in his eyes.
This sudden glance, and the contempt it contained, ignited a surge of anger in Ran Deng's heart.
However, his opponent's cultivation level far surpassed his own. In this world where strength is paramount, he dared not make any unnecessary moves, otherwise Kunpeng would surely kill him on the spot.
"I truly never imagined that after dozens of years, Fellow Daoist Ran Deng would still be stuck at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, without making any progress."
Such cultivation level is utterly disgraceful to the Dao Ancestor! What do you say, Fellow Daoist Burning Lamp?
Ran Deng clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, his knuckles turning white, but he remained silent with his head down.
"Fellow Daoist Ran Deng, I am asking you a question."
Kunpeng unleashed a murderous aura, as cold as ice covering the ground, and pressed for answers once more.
"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng is absolutely right. My origins are shallow, and my cultivation is far superior to yours."
Upon hearing Ran Deng's words, Kunpeng's tone was filled with undisguised sarcasm:
"You'd better watch yourself. Even if your cultivation is inferior, you shouldn't bully juniors. Besides, you can't even kill a few juniors in one blow."
It seems that Fellow Daoist Ran Deng can only bully juniors with cultivation levels like Qiu Shou Xian, Yu Yi Xian, and Lü Yue.
After saying this, he waved his sleeve, and the Twelve Golden Immortals and Randeng and the others all disappeared from their original spots.
Upon witnessing this scene, the disciples of the Jie Sect who remained in place were first stunned, and then their eyes blazed with anger.
By this point, they understood perfectly well that the Kunpeng had come to help the Twelve Golden Immortals.
"My three senior brothers, what should we do now? Are we just supposed to sit here and wait to die?"
A third-generation disciple suppressed his panic and leaned close to Lingya Xian, asking in a low voice.
Lingya Xian's expression was solemn. Although he was a Taiyi Golden Immortal and possessed many spiritual treasures, he could never possibly defeat a powerful being like Kunpeng.
Just as they were hesitating, several large characters suddenly appeared in the void in front of them.
"I will only make one move, using only ten percent of my cultivation. If you can withstand it, I will leave immediately. We will meet again here in ten days."
After looking up for a moment, the tension in everyone's hearts eased slightly, and they even felt a sense of confidence.
After all, the opponent was the Kunpeng, a powerful being who was famous throughout the primordial world and a Quasi-Saint at the peak of his power. If he were to go all out, no one present would survive.
But since he personally promised to contribute only 10% of his strength, the situation had a chance to turn around.
If we can pool our resources and set up a sturdy enough formation, it is not entirely impossible to withstand this attack.
Lingya Xian glanced at her fellow disciples, and had already made up her mind.
He suddenly turned around and addressed the solemn-faced disciples of the Jie Sect behind him:
"Fellow disciples, the time is of the essence, and there is no time to hesitate."
We will set up the Yin-Yang Formation here. This is not only a matter of our life and death, but also a matter of face for our Jie Sect.
"As long as the formation stands, we stand; if the formation falls, we perish. We must exert every ounce of our strength and go all out!"
Meanwhile, inside the General's Mansion at Lintong Pass, a completely different scene unfolded.
Jiang Ziya paced back and forth in the somewhat empty hall, his steps hurried, leaving messy shadows on the ground.
Although he was rescued by Kunpeng and temporarily out of danger, the huge weight on his heart remained unshaken.
His twelve senior brothers are still locked in battle with the immortals of the Jie Sect, their fates unknown.
If anything were to happen to his fellow disciples, he truly did not know how he would face the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
Worry, like vines, tightened around him, almost suffocating him.
Just then, the space inside the hall rippled invisibly, and as the light faded, Kunpeng appeared out of thin air, bringing everyone with him.
He ignored Jiang Ziya's astonishment and went straight to the seat at the head of the main hall, where he sat down with a flick of his sleeve.
"Gentlemen, I have come here to help you break this deadlock. However, I cannot disregard the reputation of the Sage Tongtian. Therefore, I will only intervene once, and you will bear the consequences thereafter."
He paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the various expressions on the faces of the crowd, and continued:
He paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the various expressions on the faces of the crowd, and continued:
"I have already made a war pact with the disciples of the Jie Sect outside the city."
Ten days from now, I will take action against them.
If they can handle it, I will leave and no longer interfere in this matter.
Upon hearing this, the Chan Sect disciples in the hall, whose hopes had just been raised by the arrival of strong reinforcements, instantly felt their spirits plummet once again.
If Kunpeng were to strike and then leave, the remaining experts of the Jie Sect, such as Lingya Xian and Jinguang Xian, would still find it difficult to deal with him.
The opponent's magical treasures are incredibly powerful. Our side has been fighting for a long time and is already at its limit. Moreover, Luo Xuan's True Sun Fire is a major threat.
Without a figure like Kunpeng to continuously suppress the enemy, the battle situation would remain extremely dangerous.
As if reading everyone's thoughts, Kunpeng spoke calmly and slowly:
"After the formation was broken, Vice Master Ran Deng led the offensive to annihilate the Jie Sect disciples who had lost their support."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it lightly, and a talisman appeared out of thin air and landed lightly in Ran Deng's hand.
"This talisman can help you temporarily control the energy of this place and seize the opportunity in battle."
Once the disciples of the Jie Sect are executed, you can use your skill of turning beans into soldiers to command Taoist troops to attack the pass. Lintong Pass will be within your grasp.
Having said that, before anyone could react, Kunpeng's figure had already faded away like smoke and clouds, disappearing into the General's Mansion.
After leaving Lintong Pass, Kunpeng's figure flickered a few times in the sea of clouds before reverting to its original form as Taibai.
He didn't stop, but flew straight towards Chaoge at a speed faster than a flash of light.
He had carefully considered his involvement.
Those twenty-odd disciples of the Jie Sect were all of sufficient cultivation and potential, making them excellent candidates to fill the Investiture of the Gods list.
If they all meet their tribulations, the number of gods to be appointed will be nearly complete, and this great calamity affecting the three religions will no longer have the causal impetus to continue.
"In that case, let fate and mortals decide what happens next."
The original intention of the Investiture of the Gods was to fill the positions of the gods in the Heavenly Court and resolve the evil energy of heaven and earth, not to endlessly sweep away all cultivators.
Now that the list is almost full, his behind-the-scenes efforts have somewhat corrected the course of events.
After that, there will be a war of rise and fall of dynasties in the human world. On the battlefield, many generals will surely fall, and they will be enough to fill the remaining vacancies.
With that thought in mind, he stopped looking back at the pass behind him, his figure disappearing into the depths of the clouds, flying towards Chaoge City.
Ten days from now, I will take action against them.
If they can handle it, I will leave and no longer interfere in this matter.
