Ancient Tuo Temple was located in Xuli Mountain. It was ancient and mysterious. No one knew how long it had existed and how many powerful cultivators it had.
It was a mystery that always lingered in people's minds. It was also a holy land. It was said that praying and making wishes here was very effective, and almost all requests would be granted. Therefore, Ancient Tuo Temple would welcome many mortals from the secular world, coming to pay their respects every day.
In reality, these were nothing more than some small tricks.
For example, if a mortal was plagued by illness all year round and went to pray, Ancient Tuo Temple would casually get some elixirs to cure him easily.
Another example was when a village encountered a drought and did not have a harvest for a year. After praying, Gutuo Temple would send people to make some rain. The so-called rain was naturally the power of water, or it could be moved from other rivers with great magic power.
To put it bluntly, these little tricks could only deceive ignorant mortals, making them develop faith in Gutuo Temple and turn it into a holy land of worship. As for those who believed in it, they would only snort in disdain.
In the recent 50 years, Ancient Tuo Temple had been surrounded by heroes from several continents. Ordinary people could not enter at all. This situation was fine at the beginning, but gradually, it set off a heated discussion in West Tiger State.
Many people expressed their doubts and did not understand what had happened to the holy place, Ancient Tuo Temple. Why were there so many powerful immortals in the past 50 years?
Of course, these discussions were mostly among ordinary people.
As for the cultivators of the Martyrs, they were naturally aware of this situation. Moreover, everyone was in a state of preparation for battle. This was because they had received news not long ago that the Heaven-Defying Warrior Wutian had killed his way to West Tiger State.
Among these people, the most eye-catching ones were naturally the people from Green Sect and Xuli Sect, as well as the fierce beasts from Dragon God Mountain Range. There were a total of more than 100 people entrenched at the entrance of Ancient Tuo Temple. Each of them was powerful and majestic. Even in the eyes of the Martyrs, they were god-like existences, let alone the mortals.
Especially the nine Descendants of Dragon God Mountain Range. They were like nine lofty mountains, ferocious and awe-inspiring!
Apart from these people, there were basically people from the first-rate and second-rate sects in the five continents. As for the other top sects, no one was present.
The Forbidden Sect and the Tool Refining Sect chose to retreat. The Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion did not care. The Ice Valley stayed out of the matter. Needless to say, the Asura Palace of the Azure Dragon Continent supported Wutian to the end. The Jade Lady Sect and the Sky Sun Sect did not say anything from the beginning to the end.
On the other hand, all the Sword Sealers sent by the Sword Sect had become Wutian's subordinates. Presently, the Ghost Sect was still cooperating with him. As for exactly how long this cooperation would last, it was unknown.
Therefore, Wutian's current enemies were the Gutuo Temple, the Azure Sect, the Void Sect, and the Dragon God Mountain Range.
The combination of the four forces still gave him a headache. Therefore, Wutian did not choose to confront them head-on. Instead, he chose to take the route marked on the animal skin scroll and go straight to the Buddha Hall.
As for this animal skin scroll, he had obtained it from Gui Guzi's mustard seed bag.
According to the introduction on the map, Xuli Mountain was 30,000 meters tall. Its entire body was smooth and flat as if it had been split by an axe.
On the surface, there was only one entrance to the Gutuo Temple. However, this was not the case. For countless years, the Ghost Sect had racked their brains and finally opened up a shortcut in Xuli Mountain that only the successive Sect Masters of the Ghost Sect knew about.
The entrance to this shortcut was in a small mountain ten thousand miles away from Xuli Mountain.
This short mountain was very inconspicuous. It was only around 300 meters tall and was covered in weeds and shrubs. There was not even a single Channel Opening Stage ferocious beast on it. There were only a few flying insects and poisonous beasts.
If it was any other time, no one would take a second look at such a place. However, it had welcomed three uninvited guests today.
The little fellow lay on Wutian's shoulder. After looking around, she pouted and said, "It really is a desolate place."
"For the Ghost Sect to place the entrance here is definitely a wise choice. If we didn't have the map, then even if we came here we wouldn't have discovered the hidden mysteries." The King Of Worms disagreed. Instead, he admired the brains of the Ghost Sect and the others.
This place was only 10,000 miles away from Void Li Mountain. For a Divine Transformation realm martial artist, it would only take the blink of an eye to cross this distance. Thus, if one really wanted to place the entrance here, it really wasn't an ordinary danger.
However, the Ghost Sect had seen through this point. As the saying went, the most dangerous place was also the safest place. Gutuo Temple would never have imagined that the Ghost Sect would place the entrance to this shortcut right in front of them.
"Little bug, why do you always like to go against the Frog Lord? Do you believe that the Frog Lord will swallow you right now?" The little fellow glared at the King Of Worms. Then, her eyes turned and she playfully said, "When I first met the Son Of Heaven, the Frog Lord swallowed a bloodsucking bug. I still miss that taste!"
The King Of Worms's pupils shrank, a trace of fear clearly visible in his eyes. His tone was tough as he said, "Boss Frog, I am just stating facts. You are a dignified descendant of a heaven swallowing beast. You can't possibly use force to threaten me just because you can't outtalk me, right?"
"Che, there is no reason to speak of when it comes to the Frog Lord. There is only who has the biggest fist. What? If you don't agree then why don't we have a little competition? "
Wutian rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. He felt that bringing these two little fellows out was simply a mistake. This was because from the moment they left Demon Sealing Ridge until now, they had never stopped bickering with each other.
"Hey hey hey, Boss Frog, you really are a bit hopeless. You only know how to use violence to solve problems. If you have the guts then let's talk reason!"
"Screw off! If you have the guts then let's duel!"
"Shut up!" Wutian shouted coldly and threatened. "If both of you continue bickering, then I'll send both of you into the Star Dimension. Don't even think of leaving in the future."
The two beasts immediately shut their mouths when they heard this. However, the battle wasn't over. Since they couldn't use their mouths, then they could use their gazes! They were like two angry misers that glared at each other. The meaning behind their gazes was that they wouldn't stop until a victor was decided.
Wutian felt his head hurt even more, and he said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter if the Ghost Sect is smart or if Gutuo Temple is stupid. It has nothing to do with us. We just have to pass through this entrance and achieve our objective."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wutian's gaze swept through the surroundings like bolts of lightning. In the end, his gaze locked onto a clump of shrubs, and then he took a step forward and instantly approached it. After that, he stomped his foot, causing the shrubs to scatter while dirt and soil to rise up. A pitch black hole that was only 3m in size quickly appeared before their eyes.
This was the shortcut that led to the Buddha's Hall.
"All of you better shut up. If you alarm that group of old monks before we arrive at the Buddha's Hall, then I'll hold all of you accountable." Wutian's face darkened as he instructed, and then his figure flashed and swiftly merged into the darkness.
The passageway was pitch black to the point one couldn't even see one's own fingers. However, this wasn't a problem for Wutian. His eyes emanated a brilliant glow that was like two bright moons that illuminated the path ahead like it was daytime.
In the beginning, the passageway was extremely flat, but after traveling for a short while, the passageway ahead stretched straight upwards, and it was even to the extent that they could faintly hear the sound of chanting.
"The Buddha's Hall …."
Wutian's gaze flickered as he stared upwards. With a command in his heart, a woman suddenly appeared. She was the strongest amongst the Emissaries of Hell, Gui Mei.
As soon as she appeared, she immediately bowed and said, "The Vice Commander of the Darkness Army, Gui Mei, greets Young Master."
"The Darkness Army?" Wutian was stunned.
Gui Mei smiled and said, "This is the result of my discussion with Jun Haotian and the others."
After listening to Gui Mei's simple explanation, Wutian couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. It turned out that the Emissaries of Hell who had been beaten up by the Sword Sealer were extremely unhappy and unwilling to join the Shura Army. Thus, after a discussion between the peak experts, they decided to establish the Darkness Army, and the position of Vice Commander was taken up by Gui Mei.
As for the position of Vice Commander, it was naturally left for Wutian.
As for the Vice Commander of the Shura Army, it was out of Wutian's expectations that it would be Jun Haotian.
According to strength, it was impossible for him to be the Vice Commander. However, Jian Yi and the others all expressed that they weren't willing to take care of matters and wanted to cultivate in seclusion. After some discussion, they all felt that Jun Haotian was wise and resourceful, and was a talent to be a leader. Therefore, they named him as the leader of the three peak stage powerhouses.
In truth, Jun Haotian also didn't want to be the Vice Commander. After all, with such good conditions and endless resources, who wouldn't want to cultivate well?
However, Jian Yi and the other two experts had already spoken. How could he disobey? If he disobeyed, what awaited him would definitely be a group beating. With no other choice, he could only reluctantly take up the position for a period of time. It wouldn't be too late to give it up when he met a suitable candidate in the future.
As for their names, Jian Yi expressed that Shura One was too hard to pronounce, so they might as well use their original codenames. Moreover, the Sword Sealers were all experts in the way of the sword. Only a name with a sword was worthy of them.
As for the Darkness Army, they used the codename "Dark." The woman who was also at the peak stage like Gui Mei naturally took the codename "Dark One." The rest were also ranked according to strength.
In fact, there was an advantage to this. After all, there were so many people, who would remember each other's names?
Moreover, after some discussion, the two Vice Commanders, Jun Haotian and Gui Mei, unanimously decided that the members of each army had to wear the same color robes. The Shura Army had white robes and the Darkness Army had black robes. Moreover, they had to engrave their codenames on their chests so that everyone could recognize each other's identity at a glance.
It was said that the members of the two legions had already started making preparations in the Star Realm. It wouldn't be long before the real Shura Legion and the Dark Legion would appear in front of the world. At that time, it would set off an unprecedented storm in the five continents!
After hearing this, Wutian was naturally very satisfied. Not to mention anything else, just these small details alone were something that he wouldn't even have thought of.
After pondering for a while, Wutian asked doubtfully, "How long will it take for the Ghost Sect Master to arrive?"
Gui Mei's eyes flickered with a complicated expression. In the end, she answered truthfully, "Everything is ready. As soon as we make a sound, they will immediately appear and attack Gutuo Temple."
"The east wind has also arrived. It's time to attack!"
A cold light flashed in Wutian's eyes. He looked at Gui Mei and instructed, "Go into the Star Realm first. Tell everyone that there might be a tough battle coming up. They can't be careless in the slightest. They have to prepare well. I don't want everyone to die in the first battle."
"Alright!" Gui Mei smiled faintly.
"Let me know when they're ready." After instructing, Wutian waved his hand and sent Gui Mei into the Star Realm. He then withdrew his aura and flew up the passage at a moderate pace.
