The autumn leaves fell from the mountain, and the whole plain was horrifying. Broken arms and blood were flying everywhere in front of Peach Mountain. Dozens of Divine Talismans were looming around the altar. The powerhouses were pale and coughing up blood. They all ran away.
The Confinement of Taoist Swords in front of Tang Xiaotang was also cut into finer pieces by the Cutting Talisman in the air. It was a horrible scene.
The Hierarch Lord, who was covered in blood, stood up from the broken chariot. He did not care about his injuries at all. He yelled and struck out with his left palm. Then, several streams of solemn aura attacked Ning Que's body from afar.
The Academy believed in taking things for granted. As long as one had reason, one's state of mind would be strong enough. The Hierarch used the Law of Heaven. The human world was still the world of Haotian. His Law of Heaven was the truth of Haotian. Naturally, it was powerful. Under the solemn aura, Ning Que suddenly felt the momentum of waving his knife stagnate.
The Hierarch was seriously injured, but he could still use such a method. He was indeed the master of the Divine Halls of West-Hill.
Ning Que was invincible in the human world. He could not be trapped by the Hierarch's Law of Heaven. He tried to break it with his mind, but it still took him some time.
The Hierarch shouted, "Set up the array!"
In this extremely short period of time, over a thousand Divine Priests on the front yard of Peach Mountain, no matter how badly injured they were, sat cross-legged on the ground and began to pray to Haotian.
As the Hierarch shouted, a beam of clear light rose from the front yard of Peach Mountain and touched the sky. The array of the Divine Hall was suddenly activated and shrank into a circle of light dozens of feet wide.
The white stone altar and Ning Que were covered in this circle of clear light.
Under the guidance and direction of the priests, the tens of thousands of believers on the front lawn also began to pray. Many of the believers were injured, and their prayers sounded more like mournful cries.
The prayers of tens of thousands of believers reverberated in Peach Mountain and shot up to the sky. The Clear Light Array shrunk by hundreds of times and its power increased by hundreds of times. It pressed down on Ning Que on the ground.
Facing the array of tens of thousands of people, Ning Que was under great pressure. He even felt like he was fighting against the whole world.
If it were other cultivators, even if they were strong enough to resist the array, they would soon collapse under such mental pressure. But Ning Que was different. He had fought against the whole world when he was fleeing for thousands of miles with Sangsang on his back. He had experience in this aspect. He was cold enough and confident enough. With a slight change of his psyche, he used the Great Spirit to convert all the Haotian's Divine Power in his body into Psyche Power. He controlled dozens of Divine Talismans and fiercely rushed toward the Clear Light Array!
The Clear Light Array and the Divine Talismans finally met. Dozens of white marks appeared in the air in the front yard of Peach Mountain, accompanied by a sharp sound of friction.
Dozens of Divine Talismans could not cut through the Clear Light Tactical Array in a short time, and the Clear Light Tactical Array could not pass through the terrifying power of the Divine Talismans and fall on Ning Que.
At this moment, a temporary peace and balance were formed between the Clear Light Formation and the Divine Talismans. At the same time, the cuts on the Clear Light Formation finally revealed the traces of the Divine Talismans.
People on the front yard of Peach Mountain looked at the dozens of Divine Talismans surrounding the altar and in the air. They could not help but shiver. They did not see any loopholes. There were no Divine Talismans floating in front of the altar. But Ning Que had already pulled his iron bow and aimed the iron arrow at that place.
The Divine Halls of West-Hill sat in the south facing north. The front yard of Peach Mountain was the only way to go up the mountain. Ning Que stood in front of the altar and aimed his iron bow at the north. What did he want to do?
It would take a long time to describe the battle. But in fact, from the moment the Divine Hall of Light sent Haotian's Divine Power into Ning Que's body, to the moment he shot the Hierarch and defeated all the powerful enemies, to the moment the Divine Talismans shocked the Peach Mountain and the Clear Light Array covered everything, it all happened in a flash. Many people died before they knew what happened.
The prayers of tens of thousands of believers and thousands of divine priests and deacons were still echoing in the front yard of Peach Mountain. It was dead silent around the altar. Other than the sound of the Yi Talismans cutting the Clear Light Array, nothing else could be heard.
The powerhouses of the cultivation world retreated to a distance. They looked at Ning Que standing in front of the altar and the iron bow in his hand. They were shocked and speechless. No one tried to stop him. They could only wait.
Talisman Taoism was undoubtedly the most powerful weapon in the cultivation world. For a Divine Talisman Master, it did not make much difference whether he was fighting one enemy or ten.
But Talisman Taoism had its flaws. No matter how powerful the Divine Talisman was, it was still limited by distance. Moreover, the talisman spirit could not last forever. As time passed, it would eventually dissipate into nature.
Even though they were suffering from Ning Que's arrows, the national master of the Golden Tribe and Qi Nian were the top figures in the cultivation world. They quickly figured out what was the most important thing to do at this moment.
They retreated to a distance away from the attack range of the Yi Talismans and waited for the Divine Talismans in front of the altar and Ning Que's Haotian's Divine Power to dissipate.
As for the Primordial Thirteen Arrows … they could only pray that Ning Que did not bring too many iron arrows, or that he would not choose them as his next target. There was no other way.
After a short silence, an old and angry voice rang out.
The second successor of the South Sea, the old divine priest, pointed at the Sacred Sedan of Judgment with his bloodied hand and shouted, "Ye Hongyu, how dare you collude with the Academy!"
Previously, when the South Sea challenged the West-Hill Divine Palace, Ye Hongyu had killed one of their people. Even this old divine priest, who had an extremely high cultivation state, had lost his finger to her unbelievable methods.
He was blaming Ye Hongyu now, not because of the previous grudge, but because of it. At this moment, only he would pay attention to what Ye Hongyu was doing.
Only then did he realize that when all the powerhouses were risking their lives to attack Ning Que, the Sacred Sedan of Judgment did not move. Ye Hongyu did not attack at all. Now that Ning Que's Yi Talismans were floating around the altar, all the powerhouses were forced to retreat, but the Sacred Sedan of Judgment still did not move. Ye Hongyu was still sitting quietly in the Sacred Sedan. She was not attacked by the Yi Talismans. Ning Que did not even look at her!
Other than colluding with the Academy, what other explanation could there be?
Only Ning Que and Ye Hongyu could explain all this. Ning Que did not attack her not only because he did not want to, but also because it was part of the Academy's plan.
Naturally, he would not explain to the West-Hill Divine Palace.
Ye Hongyu did not give any explanation. She just looked at a spot with mixed emotions. She was looking at that spot when the powerhouses were attacking Ning Que. She was still looking at that spot when Ning Que used dozens of terrifying Divine Talismans. She did not fight or dodge. She just looked at that spot without blinking.
She looked at the top of the stone steps behind the altar, at the spot where the giant sedan had been. The giant sedan had been broken, and the mysterious Hierarch Lord had finally shown himself in front of everyone.
It was a wretched, skinny, dark and short old Taoist priest.
The West-Hill Hierarch Lord's true body looked like this. If it had been any other day, it would definitely have shocked the cultivation world. However, today was the Rite to Light, and life and death were at stake. Who would notice this? Even if they did notice it, who would keep watching when it was a matter of life and death?
Ye Hongyu kept looking at the Hierarch, as if to her, this matter was more important than life and death.
Ning Que did not know that she had been looking behind him. This part of the Academy's plan was made by Third Sister. He did not even know the reason.
He was thinking about something else. Many things that had happened to him had shocked and confused the powerhouses in the front yard. For example, when did he surpass the threshold of the Five States? Why did he have Tianqi? Why did he not die after enduring so much Haotian's Divine Power? It was all because he was himself.
He did not break through the Five Realms, but he could use a Divine Skill above the Five Realms, and he could only use that one Divine Skill, Tianqi. This was due to the special relationship between him and Haotian.
As for why he did not break the Five States and was not a devout follower of Haotian, it was because of his body and experience that he did not die from the Haotian's Divine Power.
Last year, when he fought with the Abbey Dean on the Snow Street, the God-stunning Array poured all the Qi of Heaven and Earth in Chang 'an into his body through the array eye pestle. He had endured even more than today.
He could survive that day, not to mention today.
Ning Que knew that just like the battle in Chang 'an, the Divine Power from Haotian was like the natural Qi of Heaven and Earth. It would gradually dissipate and could only last for a while.
Moreover, there were not many iron arrows left in the box. If he had an endless supply of iron arrows, he could stand on top of Chang 'an and suppress the whole world. Why would he take the risk to come to Peach Mountain?
The Divine Talisman of "Yi" floating around the altar would disappear at some point. If the Divine Talisman could last forever, his master Yan Se would have already trapped the Sword Garret of South Jin Kingdom.
His invincibility could only last for a while.
What he needed to do was to complete his mission within this period of time.
He looked back at Peach Mountain and the Divine Hall of Light.
As he moved, the powerhouses in the front yard suddenly remembered that Liu Bai's sword had entered the Divine Hall of Light. If there was a battle there, it would be the most terrifying one.
Because it was a battle between the human world and Haotian.
…
…
In the Divine Hall of Light.
Sangsang raised her right hand and plucked the dark iron arrow from the air. It was as if the iron arrow had been quietly hanging by her hand, waiting for her to pluck it.
Her hand could pluck the stars and cover the moon, let alone an arrow.
The iron arrow became dim between her tender white fingers.
She threw the iron arrow to the ground and looked at Liu Bai.
Liu Bai held the hilt of his sword and looked at her.
When they looked at each other, there was no longer a gap between them. Countless messages were passed between them.
She knew that this human was known as the most powerful person in the world. If he was given enough time, he could become as powerful as that madman. But now was not the time. According to Heaven's Design, he should not be able to reach this stage. What had happened to him? And even if he had reached this stage, why didn't he continue to wait for hundreds of years until he was at his strongest?
She raised her question to Liu Bai.
Liu Bai gave a very serious answer.
"In front of the Verdant Canyon, I watched Jun Mo and Ye Su's swordsmanship. Li Manman asked someone to bring me an aura, which was the Academy's view of the human world. I was enlightened. In Linkang, I saw Ye Su preaching in a shabby alley. In the end, I bathed my sword with hot blood. I was enlightened. "
"It's not easy for an ant to shake a tree."
"My swordsmanship does not surpass the Five States. If there is a threshold above the Five States, I can cut it, even the Infinite State."
"When the sword falls, it cuts myself."
"Looking at the world, the Abbey Dean is useless. Li Manman is not good at fighting. The Drunkard and the Butcher are just two pieces of rotten meat. My swordsmanship is invincible in the human world. That is why I hate them."
"What hate?"
"I hate not being able to exchange swords with Ke Haoran. I hate not being able to drink with Lotus. I hate not being able to be born a thousand years ago and fight against the light in the Wilderness. I hate not being able to be in the same generation as the Headmaster. My predecessor has already passed away and the latter has yet to arrive. I want to draw my sword and challenge the Heavens. However, the gate of the Divine Kingdom has been destroyed and there is no way to ascend to Heaven.
Liu Bai looked at her in front of the sword and said, "I don't miss Heaven and Earth. I just want to cry. At this time, you came to the human world. How can I not come?"
It's not easy for an ant to shake a tree. Why do you dare to come to the Peach Mountain? This is Heaven's question.
I am invincible in the human world. Who else can I fight but Heaven? This was the answer of the sword of the human world.
What is the purpose of human cultivation? In the words of Haotian Taoism, it is a gift from Haotian. But for the Academy and people like Liu Bai, cultivation has nothing to do with Haotian. It is just a means to make human beings stronger. At the end of cultivation, they will raise their swords to Heaven.
Ke Haoran did it. The Headmaster had been doing it for a thousand years. The Academy was still doing it. Now it was the turn of the most powerful sword in the human world.
Liu Bai was a sword.
The sword in his hand used to be the most powerful sword in the human world. Now he had become a sword and merged with the sword of the human world used by the Headmaster. How powerful would he be?
This had never happened in the history of cultivation.
As he said, he did not break through the Five States. In the past, he did not dare to break through. Later, he did not care. Now, he did not care. Since he was a sword, if there was a threshold in front of him, he would cut it.
As for whether the sword would fall on him as she said, he did not care.
Because to him, this was the only thing that was interesting.
…
…
Hundreds of disciples knelt in front of the Sword Garret of South Jin Kingdom thousands of miles away. The black sword-like mountain suddenly left the ground and pierced the sky.
The disciples were shocked. When they looked up, they found that the sword peak was still in the same place.
The Divine Hall of Light shook uneasily and the sword style was awe-inspiring. Countless sword marks appeared on the hard bluestone walls. The lamp that had been extinguished for months suddenly broke into three pieces.
The autumn wind blew from below the precipice and broke into pieces when it reached the balcony. It was like a spring breeze that tickled one's heart. The itch was unbearable. It was not the itch of excitement, but the desire to see Dao.
Sangsang stood on the balcony and looked at Liu Bai quietly.
Liu Bai held the sword in his right hand and pushed it forward. He was full of joy.
…
…
