It's not good.
Within the Shangqing Dharma Realm, a voice echoed, faint yet seemingly whispering into the ears of every immortal and Buddha, present everywhere in the ten directions of the world.
It was not an auditory hallucination, but the exclamations of the immortals in the Biyou Palace, a complaint about their precarious situation.
The reason they only took the Yushu Treasure Scripture and paid no heed to the more powerful Lei Zu Ruyi was that they lacked the means to wield it. It was not a weapon for ordinary immortals and Buddhas; to wield it rashly would be to become like the Thunder King, a living manifestation of the Heavenly Venerable of the Thunder Department.
Among the cultivators present were two Bodhisattvas, a Demon King, an ancient immortal, a malevolent spirit formed from black energy, and themselves. Although the Biyou Palace originated from Shangqing, it now ranked among the unorthodox paths. It could be said that every single person here would be beaten soundly by the Lei Zu Ruyi.
If they were to forcibly control it, this place would turn into ruins. The majesty of the Thunder Department would cleanse all things in this realm, and the Lei Zu would issue a command to subdue all demons and monsters, causing any who disobeyed to immediately turn to dust beneath the Ruyi.
Ruyi, Ruyi, but this Ruyi could not comply with the wishes of the immortals and Buddhas in the world; it had its own logic of attack.
Therefore, the moment Ji Xiang manifested the image of Tian Peng, took up the Lei Zu Ruyi, and controlled this celestial treasure, the immortals of the Biyou Palace knew that if they didn't leave now, they would be entangled by the gods of the Thunder Department.
Without Tian Peng, thunder could not be enacted. With Tian Peng wielding the Lei Zu Ruyi, he became a manifestation of the Heavenly Venerable. The gods of the Thunder Department included the Shenxiao Jade Mansion, the Three Provinces and Nine Bureaus, the Thirty-Six Inner Courts and Central Bureaus, the Eastern and Western Hua Platforms, the Xuan Guan and Miao Ge, and the Four Mansions and Six Courts. Among them, the thunder gods numbered in the tens of thousands, forming the war department among the heavenly gods responsible for all heavenly offensives.
"What is that?"
Although Ji Xiang was commanding the gods, he did not let the form and spirit that had escaped from the Thunder King go. Its face was unclear, but it was undoubtedly related to the Thunder Department. However, if it were an avatar of the Lei Zu, it would be too twisted and strange.
"Where do you think you're going?"
The Central Jade Book exerted its power, and several great gods detached from Ji Xiang's body and flew directly towards that form and spirit. From Ji Xiang's sleeve, five divine swords flew out, encircling heaven and earth. A grand diagram appeared in the sky – the True Form Diagram of the Five Sacred Mountains!
Heaven and earth above and below, and all ten directions, were completely sealed!
That form and spirit had no way to escape, and it revealed its true form from its twisted state.
[Bà Quē: A ghost and god formed from ancient thunder spirits. It was driven by someone into the body of the Thunder King to achieve the purpose of transforming and receiving the heavenly might of the Lei Zu.]
This thunder and lightning ghost and god had a ferocious and terrifying countenance, not a human face. It intended to attack the gods that Ji Xiang had conjured. It reached out and actually grabbed a giant god, opening its mouth with the power to devour mountains, and directly ate the Great Mountain Tsukimi God!
"Five Sacred Mountains True Form Diagram, suppress!"
Ji Xiang commanded the divine diagram to suppress it. The thunder and lightning ghost and god was unwilling to be captured like this. It let out chirping sounds like a monkey, and then thunder and lightning flashed in the sky. It transformed into a whirlwind and shot towards the heavens.
"Wind Escape!"
Among the thirteen great escapes, Wind Escape was a superior遁法 (dùn fǎ - escape technique). A mere form and spirit, a ghost and god, could actually perform a great escape.
But even the most marvelous escape technique.
Might not be able to escape!
Ji Xiang suddenly shook his head and made a lion's roar towards the sky. With that ferocious roar, a form and spirit shot up from within the "head"!
It turned out that a form and spirit emerged from within the head, and this form and spirit grew larger and larger. The whirlwind in the sky was swallowed by this form and spirit in one gulp. At this moment, the many immortals and Buddhas who saw this suddenly appearing giant beast's head were all shocked!
What is this thing!
"Wangtian Hou!"
Ji Xiang transformed into a Wangtian Hou and swallowed the thunder and lightning ghost and god in one bite!
Boom—Rumble—
The immortals of the Biyou Palace attacked simultaneously, seizing the opportunity. The arms extending from the Dharma Realm began to withdraw. Although the False Gospel blocked them, trapping them in a false cycle and endlessly entangled with the Donghua Fairy Maiden, the Biyou Palace naturally had supreme powerhouses; otherwise, they would not have been able to betray Shangqing.
The name of the Biyou Palace naturally had deep meaning.
A flying immortal's aura emerged from the Dharma Realm, but that flying immortal did not act personally; instead, they drove a treasure. Ji Xiang saw a treasure light flying out from it. The Tongtian Mingyan was waiting for an opportunity to seize the celestial script on the Yushu Treasure Scripture, but unexpectedly, that treasure light directly descended upon the white smoke and vast waves.
"What is this, coming to die?"
Ji Xiang turned and stared at the immortal artifact. The giant beast's head of the Wangtian Hou also turned, bringing with it the rumbling of the sky and the gathering of celestial demons.
When the light above turned, the Inner Scenery Divine Tablet immediately provided information:
[Hunyuan Golden Dou (Formless): Immortal Artifact! It can collect all things under heaven. Once its golden light appears, escape is impossible.]
[The Biyou Palace refined this immortal artifact with the wishes of countless living beings. It has no physical form; what is seen is merely its manifestation in the world. Its essence is a product of accumulated wishes, and it cannot be touched.]
Ji Xiang recalled some matters.
At that time, the people of the Shangqing Sect said that the seventy-two sects of Mount Mao had all left Shangqing and completely relocated to the southeastern region. However, at the same time, a large number of common people became their followers and left with them. Some came to the southeast and south, becoming believers of the Dharma teachings there, and now, it seemed, a large number had become followers of the Biyou Palace.
As long as there are common people and populace, wishes will arise. Sincere devotion can produce incredible effects. Wishes are truly mysterious and boundless; it all depends on how they are used.
Hum—
The Hunyuan Golden Dou spun once, intending to absorb all the Tongtian Mingyan. Ji Xiang immediately withdrew it, and the Hunyuan Golden Dou feinted and stopped absorbing the white smoke in an instant, turning to absorb the Yushu Treasure Scripture instead!
"What use is it? It's still within the False Gospel. Once it's outside my spell's range, this treasure book will turn into waste paper."
The blue-clothed missionary disdained it, thinking that Christ's False Gospel technique was almost invincible and difficult to break once used.
But the immortals of the Biyou Palace were not alarmed. At the same moment, the second wish-powered immortal artifact flew out from the Shangqing Dharma Realm, also emitting golden light that illuminated all directions.
[Golden Flood Dragon Scissors (Formless): Immortal Artifact! It can cut through all things under heaven. Moving up and down, it is unstoppable.]
Also refined with a large number of wishes, it was also intangible.
The Golden Flood Dragon Scissors flickered in the void, and the solidified sky created by the False Gospel immediately shattered. Heaven and earth resumed their normal operation, and the blue-clothed missionary's face turned pale, with a stream of smoke rushing out of all seven orifices.
"Cough... cough cough!" He coughed violently, his expression filled with terror.
The wishes were severed, causing the False Gospel's spell to stop operating and collapse.
This kind of thing... wishes are inherently elusive. Although there are methods of control, to simply and crudely sever and stop, and remove the influence of wishes... this was the first time the blue-clothed missionary had ever seen such a thing. m..oΓg
Except for below the Heavenly Heart Realm!
"What weapon!"
He fell into self-doubt. Christ's Dharma had been defeated, and the Thunder Department's immortal scripture was about to be taken by the Hunyuan Golden Dou. The Donghua Fairy Maiden and Zhou Sheng, their vital energy damaged, attempted to stop it, but the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors had already fallen upon their heads and silently moved to shear downwards.
Clang—
The golden scissors emitted a vibrating sound because the Lei Zu Ruyi appeared beneath them.
Ji Xiang waved the Ruyi, sending the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors flying far away. The purplish-red lightning made the golden scissors sway and spin erratically in the sky. Following this, Ji Xiang struck the Hunyuan Golden Dou with a hammer, sending a thunderclap from a distance, accompanied by the divine power of Heavenly Retribution, forcefully interrupting the Golden Dou's absorption!
The two immortal artifacts regrouped, controlled by that flying immortal, and a supreme power surged towards Ji Xiang's heart.
Ji Xiang sensed this power, and in an instant, his spirit began to clash with these two immortal artifacts, as if falling into a storm of wind and rain and turbulent waves. The wishes on these two immortal artifacts were like the sea at high tide, impacting his immortal divine consciousness. In the collision, Ji Xiang immediately understood what "collects all things" and "cuts all things" truly meant, and where their principles originated.
The power of idealism.
Wishes gathered, and they desired to cut, so that which was chosen would be cut. This was turning imagination into reality, just like the False Gospel, which could turn real situations into false ones, and then turn false situations into real ones that were advantageous to oneself.
Although Ji Xiang was surprised by the power of the two immortal artifacts, he was not astonished. After all, compared to Christ's False Gospel, these two immortal artifacts were not overly outrageous. At least they required wishes to be activated, and if their wishes could not overcome the targets they chose, they would return without success.
"Competing with wishes?"
"Although I do not have the support of millions of wishes, I have the Three Demon Heads, the Hundred Thousand Dao-Lost Demons, the Eighty Thousand Ancient Heavenly Demons, the souls of a hundred ancient immortals, and in the South Sea, at least tens of thousands of common people believe in my One Demon Sect."
"If we are to compete, then let's try!"
The possession of a hundred immortals was the second time. Ji Xiang, even with his qi and blood transformed into an immortal, could barely withstand it. However, the benefits of having immortal souls bestowed upon him were immediately apparent. The immense wishes directly pushed back the myriad wishes on the two immortal artifacts!
Wishes were like the sea, like the vast ocean, like wind and thunder roaring together and the earth dancing! Ji Xiang looked up, and the beast's head of the Wangtian Hou opened its mouth again, as if it had the power to swallow the sky. The sun and moon entered its throat, the sea of clouds became its soup, and it was about to devour the Shangqing Dharma Realm in one gulp!
