(PS: There was a mistake in the previous sentence. The Ten Thousand Immortal Array was set up before Tong Pass. Lin Tong Pass was behind Tong Pass. I got it mixed up.)
…
Yang Jian only realized today that he was still a little afraid of death.
It was not that his mental state was not strong enough. It was just that he still had respect for life and death in his heart. He had been thinking about it, so he had been feeling stifled previously.
However, Yuding Zhenren appeared in time and dispelled Yang Jian's worries with a few words.
"Why did you forget the Blue Sky Three Lives Technique? Your essence soul has long been divided into three parts. The power of this Six God Flag is powerful. However, when it finally activates, you can temporarily place the two essence souls outside your body. After it takes away your essence soul, you can return it to yourself. Why not? "
Yang Jian looked at his master in shock. "That's it?"
"That's it."
Yuding Zhenren shook his head and chuckled. "I asked you to cultivate this technique because I wanted to leave a seed for you to cultivate the Essence Soul Dao if you can't break through in the future. However, I didn't expect to help you escape today."
Yang Jian could not help but scratch his head and laugh. Ao Xinke, who was at the side, finally regained her composure. She looked at Yang Jian and could not help but laugh.
Actually, she had not experienced any sorrow or joy, and she would not cry tears of joy.
"Are you at ease now?" Yang Jian said softly. Ao Xinke nodded slightly.
"It's all thanks to Master's explanation. When I found out that you were struck by this … Dharma spell, I was really at a loss."
"What are you afraid of!?!" Yang Jian said shamelessly, "We are all people with good fortune. How can we die so easily?"
Yuding Zhenren shook his head and chuckled. He slowly stood up and said, "I'll go to the cloud and observe the changes here. You have to pay attention to two things later."
Yang Jian immediately listened attentively.
"Firstly, when you enter this array formation, no matter how many casualties there are in Chanism, you cannot kill the immortals of Jie School. You can fight the Goddess of Golden Spirit to the death, but you don't have to kill the immortals of Jie School."
"Master, why are you doing this?"
Yuding stopped smiling and sighed. "Living in the mountains, one doesn't know the fog and clouds. Fish swimming in the water don't know the vastness of the four seas. I can't tell you about this, but when the time comes, I'll need your help."
"Yes." Yang Jian lowered his head and answered, "Master, please instruct me."
Even if Yuding Zhenren said that he would leave Chanism and stand on the side of Jie School, Yang Jian should not hesitate.
Although such a thing was unlikely to happen …
"The second thing is about your Primordial Spirit," Yuding Zhenren said, "The Six God Flag will activate once in the morning and once in the morning. The power of the next attack will be stronger than the previous one. If you can't hold on any longer, you must immediately abandon a piece of your Primordial Spirit. It will not harm your cultivation."
Yang Jian nodded solemnly and grinned. "Master, don't worry. I value my life very much."
"If that's the case, I'll wait in the clouds."
Yang Jian hurriedly said, "Master, aren't you going to take a look at the array formation of Jie School?"
Yuding Zhenren smiled. "With your Uncle-Master Taiyi and Uncle-Master Yun Zhongzi around, it's enough."
After saying that, his figure turned into a white cloud and slowly floated into the clouds above the Cloud Pass, disappearing.
"Master asked me not to slaughter the immortals of Jie School. Xinke, do you know why?"
"It should be because he doesn't want to make things difficult for you in the future," Ao Xinke said gently. "At this moment, the more immortals of Jie School die, the more seats they occupy on the God roll. In the future, they will definitely be a major force that can't be ignored in the Celestial Court."
Yang Jian nodded and sighed. "I often say that I'll live in seclusion in the forest after the Great Tribulation. Why doesn't Master believe me?"
"Master's mystical abilities are inexplicable. Perhaps he knows something that we don't." Ao Xinke chuckled. "If you really retreat in the face of danger, the people of the Three Realms might say that I'm a person like Daji."
"My wife is naturally much more beautiful than Daji."
"Husband …"
"Go back to the military headquarters to rest. Don't worry about me. If you're worried, just protect me at dusk and in the morning."
Yang Jian instructed. Ao Xinke nodded slightly and did not insist.
When she returned, Yang Jian finally returned to his usual appearance. He was calm and unhurried as he patrolled the city.
After patrolling for a few hours, Yang Jian went to the city wall to ask a few array formation masters about their thoughts on the Ten Thousand Immortal Array. Perfected Taiyi also had a serious expression, while Yun Zhongzi frowned.
"Is it difficult to crack?"
"This array formation is based on the Three Talents, Four Symbols, and Five Elements. There are small arrays in the array formation, and the small arrays are connected to form the array formation."
Yun Zhongzi said in a low voice, "If we attack from the outside, all the Dharma powers in the array formation will be activated. That's fine. The problem is that no matter which part we break from the outside, the array formation will not be affected at all."
"There are many changes and the ingenuity of the array formation. It's really admirable. The work of the Saint is indeed extraordinary."
Perfected Taiyi waited with his hands behind his back. After Yun Zhongzi finished speaking, he continued, "What's more troublesome is that we have to break at least seven of the outer array formations before we can touch the core of the array formation. At that time, Teacher can attack."
Yang Jian nodded upon hearing this.
The Saint would not have broken the array formation from the beginning. Otherwise, what would they, the disciples, do?
If the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning attacked the ordinary immortals of Jie School, the Grandmaster of Heaven would return the favor. In the end, the ones who would suffer would be Chanism.
After all, there were many disciples of Jie School. If they killed a few thousand, there would still be a few thousand left.
"Send troops as soon as possible." Huanglong Daoist shouted from afar, "Time waits for no man!"
Yang Jian nodded and stared at the night sky in the east that was dyed by the Ten Thousand Immortal Array of Jie School.
At that moment, immortal light lingered. In a few days, it would probably be filled with sanguine light.
According to Yang Jian, after the Zhou Army broke through the Cloud Piercing Pass, they rested for two days. Then, they gathered another 800,000 troops and approached Tong Pass.
The soldiers and citizens of Tong Pass were at a loss. The immortal light outside the city flashed non-stop, but it healed the chronic illnesses of many mortals in the city, causing many mortals to kneel and pray to the Ten Thousand Immortal Array.
That was clearly a killing array.
Daji rushed to Tong Pass with the imperial seal of the Shang Dynasty. Along with it, the destiny of the Shang Dynasty gathered at Tong Pass and augmented the Ten Thousand Immortal Array.
Yang Jian pondered for a while and decided to let King Wu go on an expedition to the east. Although King Wu's honor guard would only arrive at Cloud Piercing Pass a month later, he reckoned that he could participate in the most crucial battle.
Seven days after the Ten Thousand Immortal Array was set up, the 800,000 troops of the Zhou Army arrived outside the Ten Thousand Immortal Array and set up camp dozens of kilometers away.
Almost all of the Immortals of Chanism appeared in the sky above the Zhou Army. There were even more figures in the Ten Thousand Immortal Array. There were more than a thousand immortals of Jie School in the outermost layer of the array formation. There were also four, oh no, three disciples and four of the seven immortals who accompanied them.
The first battle would probably be a tough one.
When night fell, the main tent of the Zhou Army was brightly lit. The third generation disciples of the Chan Sect who had instigated the Apotheosized Great Liang had gathered together. The twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were all here, and there were more than ten disciples with powerful Dharmic powers who were giving advice.
Only Huang Feihu and a few other generals of the Zhou Army were present. They hid in a corner and could not interrupt.
The military array was only there to augment the destiny of the Zhou Nation for the Immortals of Chanism. Other than that, it did not have much use.
The sand table in front of Yang Jian had become colorful today. It was a copy of the Ten Thousand Immortal Array that Perfected Taiyi had "copied". It was extremely complicated and it was enough to show Perfected Taiyi's attainments in the Dao of array formations.
The rather magical "Void Meson" array formation on the Qianyuan Mountain could be seen.
Perfected Taiyi kept talking about the various changes of the array formation. Yang Jian felt dizzy as he listened. It also made Lei Zhenzi, Nezha, and the other disciples complain incessantly. They were afraid that Perfected Taiyi would suddenly ask,
"If the Qian position moves, how many changes will there be in the Dui position?"
Yang Jian did not have to worry about that. He had already made it clear that he was a physical cultivator. As the main general, no one dared to make a fool of him.
Hiroshige sat beside the main seat while Yuding Zhenren rested with his eyes closed.
When Perfected Taiyi was almost done explaining, Yun Zhongzi stood up and added a few more words.
Just the various changes of the outermost layer of the Ten Thousand Immortal Array and the method to break it had already taken them half the night.
Finally, when the two of them finished, the immortals nodded to express their understanding. Yang Jian looked at Hiroshige for help. The latter smiled and said, "That's all for tonight. Taiyi and Yun Zhongzi will command the breaking of the array formation tomorrow."
Yang Jian also said, "We'll attack the array formation at dawn tomorrow. Why don't we take advantage of the few hours to recover some energy?"
"There's no need. How can a cultivator be tired?"
Perfected Taiyi said and rubbed his chin. He continued to observe the array formation that he had created. Finally, he waved his sleeve and dispersed the rolling clouds.
"The most important thing is to deal with the moves after entering the array formation."
Hiroshige smiled and said, "That's right. If I have to memorize these, I might as well not memorize them."
Yang Jian suddenly remembered something. He had been busy for the past few days and had almost forgotten about this important item.
He fumbled in the black tortoise belt and was about to take out the iron token when Yuding Zhenren sent a voice transmission to his ears …
"Don't go to the extreme. You have to leave a way out."
Yang Jian's expression changed. Then, he followed his master's instructions and placed the token back into the distance.
At dawn the next day, 100,000 cavalry rushed out of the Zhou Army camp and charged forward with billowing smoke and dust.
Then, more than half of the Immortals of Chanism in the sky moved. More than 400 Immortals formed an array at the front and displayed their mystical abilities. They followed the twelve Golden Immortals and landed in front of the Ten Thousand Immortal Array.
The rest of the Immortals of Chanism stayed behind to support them. Just like the experts of the Dragons who were mixed in the Zhou Army cavalry, they were prepared for emergencies.
There was still one person standing in front of the twelve Golden Immortals. It was naturally Yang Jian. He was the general of the Zhou Army, the prime minister of the Zhou Kingdom, and the foundation of the protection of the human emperor's destiny. Only he could allow the Immortals of Chanism to obtain the most blessing from the human emperor.
Today, the Immortals of Chanism had only come for the Zhou Kingdom to attack the Shang Dynasty. Only then could they follow the Heavenly Dao and use it to protect themselves.
"Let's go." Yang Jian grabbed the three pointed, double-edged spear and was about to lead the way. However, Hiroshige said, "Wait. Wait for a few more helpers."
Yang Jian could not help but stop.
How many?
If it was Xuandu, it would be "one". Why did Hiroshige say a few?
Without needing him to think much, two figures slowly walked over from the west. One of them was an old man with a withered face. He was dressed in a tattered Daoist robe and was accompanied by a green lamp.
A few days ago, half of the wick in the green lamp had done evil. It had been easily dealt with by Lei Zhenzi.
Daoist Randeng.
The immortal with limping feet who was carrying a gourd on his back beside Randeng made Yang Jian's expression turn gloomy.
Daoist Lu Ya.
Hiroshige sent a voice transmission. "There are many people in Jie School. Disciple-Nephew, please put the past matters aside for now. The Deputy Sect Master and Daoist Lu Ya are here to help."
Yang Jian nodded and did not say anything.
A lazy grumble suddenly sounded above his head.
"There's an internal conflict in the Dao Sect. Why did you call a little Golden Crow over?"
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du stretched and landed in the cloud. He stood beside Yang Jian with a reminiscing expression.
"At least I didn't sleep too late. Let's enter the array."
"Uncle-Master, please."
Xuan Du shook his head. "No, no. You have thick skin. You go first."
The corners of Yang Jian's mouth twitched crazily, but he could only carry his spear and walk forward.
After taking two steps, Yang Jian suddenly frowned and raised his hand to support his forehead …
