Episode 143

  Yi Xiu Men Taizong, the Great Elder, and his husband Gaozong, the Great Elder, had three disciples under them who were highly respected and powerful. They had already investigated the location of the Wan Jie Yuan and informed Chen Er about it. Now they were just waiting for their Shixiong to escape before they would fulfill their promise. Otherwise, they would force him to marry as his Dao companion.

  Chang'er obtained the secret, overjoyed, and without delay, immediately set off with her two junior brothers to fly to Wan Jie Yuan. Therefore, Taiyi Female True Person sent Gao Wuyou to capture Chang'er, but returned without success! It was at this time that the decree of Taizu, Dalao, and the two Dalao, Taizong and Gaosong, arrived.

  "The Wan Jie Abyss has changed, come to the Grand Temple immediately to discuss matters."

  The master and Taiyi were shocked, did the Wanjie Abyss have a change? Is this not a heavenly joke of great magnitude! The secret of the Yixiu Gate is known to all under heaven? Because of this, the two masters could no longer care about Chang'er's affairs, they got up and went to the large hall in the secret land of the gate.

  In the secret grand hall of Yi Xiu Men, although the three Taishang were seated on their thrones, they all had solemn expressions. The urgent report arrived in less than half an hour, bringing the latest news. The three elders in the grand hall continuously dispatched disciples and sect members to receive orders and leave.

  After a while, there was still no news from the Wan Jie Abyss. Although the three people in the hall did not change their expressions, they were already showing signs of anxiety. The Taizong Great Elder looked at the husband, Gaozong Great Elder and Tai Zu Great Elder's solemn expression and said:

  "Or should I go and take a look myself?"

  "Absolutely not! Although the top leaders of several factions have not yet made a move, they are already restraining each other. If we make even the slightest move, we will inevitably disrupt this delicate balance, and the consequences will be unpredictable! Either we can take drastic measures to resolve the matter immediately, or it may lead to chaos, putting even our own ten major sects at risk of destruction!"

  "Gaozong's words are indeed wise! This time, even the ancient continent's Fangzhou family has intervened to capture people. All parties have powerful and unpredictable forces that cannot be underestimated. We should still observe from a distance. Otherwise, I fear that our Easy Repair Gate will face the disaster of being destroyed!"

  "The words of Taizu are excessive! It's nothing but a chicken flying and eggs breaking, what is there to fear?"

  The noble lady Taizong coldly smiled and said.

  Taizu's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this. Gaozong interjected:

  "Milady, your words are unseemly! If the Da Fangzhou family intervenes, you and I will also be in danger of falling!"

  "What makes you think you can intimidate others? Even the great ancestor was a master of yin and yang, and even we have the ability to join forces to overcome the harmony of yin and yang. What is there to fear?"

  "Haven't you heard of the downfall of the Gui Gu family decades ago? The mighty foundation of a family that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, the earth-shaking and heaven-stirring grand formation of protection, the power of several thousand high-ranking cultivators, was all reduced to nothing but a dream in just half a day."

  "Report! Outside the Ten Thousand Fathoms Abyss..."

  The messenger's words were not yet finished when the great hall suddenly shook violently, and immediately the earth convulsed severely.

  Splash!

  The glazed tiles and golden tiles of the main hall were shattered and fell to the ground like sand. Several houses collapsed. In the main hall, several immortals looked at each other in shock, and without a word, they flew out of the hall, stepped on the rainbow, and soared into the sky hundreds of feet high, gazing intently towards the north, towards the direction of Wan Jie Yuan.

  Rumble!

  The thunderous sound finally arrived, and the low-ranking disciples of the Yi Xiu Gate were all struck as if by lightning, falling to the ground in large numbers, with some even bleeding from their seven orifices, looking like corpses.

  "It's all over!"

  The crowd gasped in shock.

  "We must find someone to investigate the other factions for experts, if they make a move, I'll make a move!"

  Taizu's great elder said with hatred.

  "The foolish couple wish to ascend to a high place and keep watch, in order to supervise the other party's cultivation!"

  Emperor Taizong and Empress Wu Zetian

  "Good! Where is the Eight Great Mountain Men?"

  "The disciple is here!"

  "You can command all the troops in the palace, lead them northward, and together with your previously arranged younger brother, search for the puppet Feng Cheng. Make sure he doesn't escape or fall into the hands of others!"

  "Disciple obeys!"

  "Whoever dares to trespass on the forbidden land of the Main Gate, will be killed without pardon before and after the explosion!"

  "Got it!"

  In an instant, the Yi Xiu Gate's cultivators formed a line and flew off in batches. High up in the sky, the Taizong Great Elder and his wife, the Gaotang Great Elder, stood on clouds, gazing vigilantly in all eight directions, carefully observing the movements of the opposing party's high-ranking members, not daring to relax their guard even slightly. This was because this disturbance might imperil the very survival of the sect.

  Four parties, each with five teams of high-energy cultivators. One team is the Easy Repair Gate, with ten major sects and the Heavenly Respect gathering tens of thousands of cultivators. Another land is shrouded in darkness, another is occupied by the Great Ark family's high-energy cultivators, and yet another has dozens of cultivators with unknown identities. All cultivators wear masks and robes, making it impossible to distinguish between men and women or old and young. The only way to tell them apart is by their overflowing spiritual energy, which reveals their profound cultivation! At this moment, they are mutually restrained, and no one dares to take the lead. Whoever makes the first move will become the target of everyone's attacks!

  Let's not talk about the scenes outside the abyss for now, but rather say that inside the abyss, in the midst of a great array that is insufficient to be trapped, a huge spherical object is rapidly rotating. The physical body of Yang Yu, which was previously incomplete, has its eyes slightly open, and it appears to be wandering aimlessly like a walking corpse. However, the divine body of Yin Yu, which possesses spiritual awareness, is now in a state of confusion, yet all seven orifices are open, and its bright divine eyes are fixed intently on the physical body's slightly opened eyes. The physical body's eyes suddenly flash open, and they stare at each other in astonishment with the divine eyes.

  Insufficiency is the lack of one of the six spirits, and it just so happens that this spirit is the one that governs sight. Therefore, at this time, the spirit of recognition has left the body, but the physical body's eyes are still bright and spirited. Compared to the other five spirits, the eye sockets seem to possess a special power. However, on the spiritual body, the eye sockets are actually supplemented by the divine connection of the other five spirits, which makes them warm and harmonious. At this time, when the four eyes face each other, they become entangled and intertwined, triggering a divine resonance that seems like two bodies exerting their utmost effort to respond to each other. The yin-yang fish, one slightly slower and the other slightly faster, suddenly change their synchronized rotation pattern. Although the change is subtle, after a rapid rotation, its influence gradually becomes apparent. The yin fish and yang fish have different speeds, gradually overlapping with each other until they completely merge after several years. The physical body and spiritual body also fully merge. One day, a long, mournful cry suddenly sounds, and when it stops, the yin-yang sphere suddenly bursts open, shattering into powder, with sparkling golden light slowly merging into the insufficient body's bones, never to reappear again. Finally, the insufficient dharma-body slowly stands up in the endless void of nothingness, its eyes opening wide, shining golden light, and moving with a spirit like before.

  "How can one escape from such a state of emptiness?"

  Insufficient, the upper and lower lips open and close, producing a sound. It's just like this, standing in emptiness, with no movement in the heart. Suddenly one day, the ink color of the void, golden light, wildly unrestrained, and the void shrinks tightly.

  Splash!

  A loud, jarring sound like shattering jade echoed through the air, a white light flashed by, and the empty space around him suddenly shattered, as if struck by lightning. His entire body trembled violently, and then it seemed as though he had been struck by a divine being, causing his consciousness to be wounded, and the pain was unbearable. After the white light passed, he slowly rose up, swaying unsteadily, and then faster and faster, until finally he shot out of the original location like a spark from flint. His spirit was no longer his own, and he was completely unaware, but he continued to rise, soaring upwards into the nine heavens.

  The master of Yishu Men and Taiyi Female Zhenren led the crowd to meet with other cultivators outside Wan Jie Yuan. Taiyi Female Zhenren said:

  "Master, my fellow disciples and I have observed that all the nodes of the Wan Jie's formation outside this place have been secretly reinforced with mysterious arrays. They all intend to forcefully break through the formation. It seems that this formation won't last long anyway, so why don't we take the initiative and break in first? Let's capture that puppet Feng Cheng!"

  "Elder sister's words are reasonable. Taking a step back, even if the person can't be caught, just one item of the rare and precious spiritual medicine from the thousand-year unopened Wan Jie Spring is enough to cover our expenses! It's just that several old ancestors have not given their orders yet..."

  "Master of the Gate, younger brother, urgent matters require expedient actions! Moreover, we cannot afford to miss this opportunity!"

  "But..."

  "Report to Master, Gao Wuyun Shixiong has arrived."

  "Pass it on."

  "Yes!"

  "Master, Master, that Fu Jun has gone missing!"

  "Hmm!"

  "It's not that I'm lazy as a disciple, but when I went to capture the person earlier, they had already disappeared several hours ago!"

  "Never mind! Let's talk about this later! For now, have Elder Array lead the formation and break through the defenses of Wan Jie Yuan. Enter the yuan and capture those people!"

  "Yes! Younger brother receives the order!"

  Watching her own disciple take the lead and break through the formation, Taiyi Female True Person's eyes slightly opened, thinking about this junior brother's consideration, but using her own disciple to break through the formation, she felt a slight anger.

  "Thief! Since our ancestor has not yet issued a decree, you must want to drag me down with you as well!"

  But there's nothing that can be done, so I'll just remain silent with a cold gaze. The master of the house also had a slightly raised corner of his mouth, watching High Wu Yu leave with a cold eye.
