In order to defend Mount Tai, Mu Zixuan divided the elites of Si Tiantai into two. One half stayed with Yue Cang Qiong to guard Si Tiantai, and the other half went to Mount Tai.
The people that Mu Zixuan had chosen were all experts that could fly. As they streaked across the sky, their momentum was impressive. Wherever they passed by, the people would bow down and worship them.
However, the distance between the Directorate of Heaven and Mount Tai was tens of thousands of miles, and everyone's strength was unavoidably uneven. After walking for a while, someone had already fallen behind.
Seeing this, Mu Zixuan said to Su Miaoyin, "Lord Su, Mount Tai is a long way away. It won't be a day's work. Let everyone rest for a while."
"Regarding the Heavenly Book, we still have too little information. If the Six Dao of Evil Extermination or the North Dragon Sky gets to Mount Tai first and snatch some key information …" Su Miao Yin said solemnly while maintaining the flight. However, when she saw another practitioner falling from the sky, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alright, let's leave it to Alliance Leader Mu to decide!"
"That's right. Even if we get to Mount Tai, we won't be able to set up a defense line to stop the Six Dao Evil Destroyer and the North Dragon from approaching the Heavenly Book Rock." Mu Zixuan ordered everyone to rest.

Not far away, in a forest.
A few figures stood on top of a tree. Moonlight seeped through the branches and shone on their faces. They were all famous figures.
Xue Wanlu, Xue Qianqiu, Xue Qianqiu.
Yan Shiyuan, Xue Shiyuan, Human Path.
The leaders of Xue Wanlu and Human Path were leading the Three Evils of Human Path, two Battle Sorcerers of Shura Path, and Xuan Tortoise Beast Messenger of Animal Path.
At this moment, Xue Wanlu rushed to Yan Shiyuan and said unhappily, "Lord Yan, this is urgent. Why stop suddenly? Don't you know that the Righteous Sky Alliance has started to move? If they set up a defense line at Mount Tai, it won't be easy for us to spy on the Heavenly Book Rock!"
Yan Shiyuan put a finger in front of his mouth and said softly, "Lower your voice. Of course I know that the Righteous Sky Alliance has started to move because they are right in front."
"What?" Xue Wanlu gasped and licked his lips, "How many people do they have?"
Yan Shiyuan said, "Dozens of times more than us … Su Miaoyin and Mu Zixuan are holding the line."
"Here we are …" Xue Wanlu murmured fiercely. He then turned around and asked, "Master, what should we do?"
In the shadow that he was looking at, another figure walked out from the darkness and stepped into the moonlight. The figure was dressed in white and had a silver mask. Bathed in the silver moonlight, it was as though a celestial had descended. It was the Master of Six Dao, Di Lingtian!
Di Lingtian said, "This is a good thing. It means that we have already caught up to the Righteous Sky Alliance. They have more people, so their speed will be affected. If we take a detour, we can still reach Mount Tai before the Righteous Sky Alliance."
Xue Wanlu sneered with some dissatisfaction, "Tsk, hiding for some Heavenly Book. How displeasing. If the Six Realms Evil Destroyer wants to fight, let's fight. Why do we need to rely on those illusory things …"
Xue Qian Qiu was afraid of making Di Lingtian unhappy and quickly stopped him, "Lord, the Heavenly Book is divided into eight parts. It is your luck to get one. If you don't take it, you will be punished. How can you watch it fall into the hands of those who call themselves righteous?"
Di Lingtian didn't look angry and said, "Stop talking. Continue to move and maintain the formation. Lord Yan will lead the way and I will guard the back. Lord Xue, you are the most important now. Stay in the middle and don't be rash. Tomorrow night, we must reach Mount Tai!"
With the order, everyone moved. Xue Wanlu, who loved to charge and break through enemy lines, was unhappy that he was arranged to be in the middle, the safest position. He snorted and followed closely behind …

Those who reached Mount Tai first would have the advantage. The two sides started an invisible race.
The sun rose and set, and in the blink of an eye, another day had passed. Mu Zixuan looked down from his vantage point and saw a magnificent river in front of him. Although it was already night, there were still many cargo ships coming and going on the river. The faint yellow lights on the ships shone on the surface of the river. This river was the hub of the world's transportation, the Jinghang Canal.
Further away, there was a tall mountain that pierced through the clouds. Although its silhouette could only be vaguely seen under the night sky, it had its own majestic and majestic aura. It was the head of the five mountains, Mount Tai.
Mu Zixuan discussed with Su Miaoyin, "Sect Master Su, with this speed, we should be able to arrive before dawn. Should we rest for a while and wait for the people behind us to catch up, then rush to Mount Tai in one go?"
"No need. Lord Mu, please pass the order. After crossing the canal, those who are tired can stay at the east bank of the canal. Those who still have energy can continue to move forward with me!" As Su Miao Yin spoke, her figure accelerated again, stirring up a burst of wind.
The moment they passed, Mu Zixuan seemed to see a flash of light in Su Miao Yin's eyes. Although it was only for a moment, it was more distant and profound than the starlight.

At the same time.
The Jade Emperor Peak of Mount Tai was connected to the stars and the moon above, the sea of clouds below, and the peaks above. One foot stepped on the highest point of all the small mountains.
"Sure enough, we are one step faster!" Di Lingtian reached the peak of Mount Tai, and the others followed closely behind.
Di Lingtian's sharp eyes looked forward and saw a rock that was as small as a man's and shaped like a book. "This is the Heavenly Book Rock?"
"Who's over there?" Beside the Heavenly Book Rock, a few monks and Taoists raised their torches and asked. Before the main force of the righteous path arrived, the local monks and Taoists of Mount Tai had taken the initiative to guard the Heavenly Book Rock.
Di Lingtian acted as if he didn't hear them and walked straight ahead. Behind him, Yan Shiyuan's eyes flashed and the guards all fell silent.
"Retreat and sleep. When you wake up, forget everything!" Yan Shiyuan ordered.
"Yes." The guards all responded. Their eyes were dull and cloudy, and they retreated in two rows.
How could the people of a small temple resist the Dao Master of the mortal path? The moment their eyes met, their minds were controlled.
As for Di Lingtian, he walked in front of the Heavenly Book Rock and looked at the golden characters. He said thoughtfully, "At the age of two hundred, the eight parts unite. Appearing at the right time, enlightening the mind. It is the same as the rumors, but how does the Heavenly Book unite? Does it automatically return when the time comes, or does the Heavenly Book Host have to kill each other? If they kill each other, is there a place and rules? "
There was too much information he wanted to know, but he couldn't do anything just by looking at these four phrases. Di Lingtian thought for a moment and then said to Xue Wanlu, "Dao Master Xue, you are the host of the Asura Sutra. Pour your true energy into the Heavenly Book Rock and see if there are any changes."
Xue Wanlu stepped forward, placed his hand on the book, and slowly poured in true energy.
"Nothing much …" After a moment, seeing no reaction, Xue Wanlu curled his lips in disdain. He wanted to pull his hand away, but he was shocked to find that his hand was stuck to the book, and the book seemed to have a suction force that greedily sucked in his true energy.
Xue Wanlu was shocked and quickly struggled. But the more he struggled, the more his true energy uncontrollably poured into the Heavenly Book Rock. A faint fluorescent light appeared on the Heavenly Book Rock.
"Uncle, help me!" His true energy was crazily sucked out. Xue Wanlu's dantian felt like it was being twisted by a knife. Large beads of sweat rolled down his face. He used all his strength to squeeze out these words.
"Lu 'er is flustered!" Xue Qianqiu had a rare look of panic on his face. He quickly stepped forward to help.
"No!" Di Lingtian raised his arm to block. At this time, Xue Wanlu cried out in pain. His true energy had been sucked out in a short period of time. Only then did his hand fall off the book and fall to the ground.
And at the same time, the entire Jade Emperor Peak suddenly shook, trembling endlessly. The book shined with a brilliant light, shining brightly. In the midst of everyone's shock, two more heavenly secrets appeared.
"How could this be?"
"Impossible!"
The evil cultivators cried out at the same time. Two rows of golden characters floated up from the Heavenly Book Rock. Shockingly, they were words that shook the hearts of everyone.
"The Northern Dragon dies today, the Six Paths perish!"
