Chapter 3977: Defense
The last time Namo Sun Moon Light Buddha besieged Qianyuan Jinxian, it was the Buddhist sect that was at fault.
Now that Qianyuan Jinxian has retaliated, the Buddhist sect seems to have nothing to say.
At least the Buddhist high-level officials will not attack Qianyuan Jinxian and Meng Zhang in the name of the official.
As for some small actions behind the scenes, revenge in secret is inevitable.
Neither Qianyuan Jinxian nor Meng Zhang is afraid of this.
The two of them are quite powerful. Unless they are besieged by multiple Buddhas or the strongest among the Buddhas, they can't do anything to them.
Moreover, they are all Tianji Xianshi, with sharp spiritual perception and the ability to avoid danger.
Of course, the Buddhist sect does not know that Meng Zhang is also a Tianji Xianshi, but if they really want to retaliate against them, they will most likely let the Buddha who is proficient in Tianji take action to block the Tianji and cover up various traces...
Qianyuan Jinxian's whereabouts are erratic, and it is difficult for the Buddhist sect to lock his whereabouts.
Taiyi Realm is a Taoist practice force, located in the border area of Xinyou, and is responsible for defending against the invasion of chaos. If the Buddhist sect rashly attacks Taiyi Realm, it will easily cause a large-scale conflict with the Taoist sect.
However, if Meng Zhang goes out alone, he may encounter some designs or even ambushes after being locked by the Buddhist sect.
Qianyuan Jinxian and Meng Zhang have long been vigilant and careful.
After returning to Taiyi Realm, Meng Zhang's main energy is still on his own practice.
Several wars in recent years have benefited him a lot, and there are many things that need to be digested slowly.
The severely damaged Tiandi Xuanhuang Tower also needs to consume a lot of materials to slowly repair.
He previously used the Chaos Spirit Pearl to obtain a lot of Chaos Essence, and he is not short of practice resources for the time being, so he can rest assured to stay in seclusion.
On the Taiyi Realm side, since Niu Dawei's hidden dangers were solved by him, Niu Dawei, who has accumulated a lot of experience, has made rapid progress in practice.
If he is given enough time, he really has the opportunity to impact the Golden Immortal realm.
The cultivation of several other immortals in Taiyi Realm has improved rapidly.
Since receiving the guidance of Fairy Yuzhen, Yueshen has not only successfully promoted to the God Emperor, but also started to explore her own path to the realm of the Lord God.
The cultivators of Taiyi Realm completely controlled the Xinyou Border and fully developed it.
After years of repair, the nearby unknown land has also begun to slowly return to normal.
The cultivators of Taiyi Realm entered it in large numbers to explore and develop there.
The unknown land was originally the junction of chaos and void, where the forces of the two met and collided.
Due to the strength of the cultivators of Taiyi Realm and the recent contraction period of chaos, after the unremitting efforts of the cultivators of Taiyi Realm, the chaotic power in the unknown land was slowly driven away and gradually weakened, and the power from the void slowly gained the upper hand.
If this continues, one day, the unknown land will be converted into a part of the void, and the boundary between the void and chaos will move towards the chaos side.
At that time, Taiyi Realm will surely be rewarded by the Void Heavenly Dao.
All the cultivators of the Taiyi Realm who have joined the war will benefit greatly from it.
Although Meng Zhang has no intention of going deeper into the Chaos for the time being, he has been paying attention to the movements of the Chaos.
There is almost no turmoil in the Chaos.
Facing the step-by-step pressure of the power of the void, no decent resistance has been organized.
Originally, the Chaos Demon God and Chaos Monster would invade the unknown land from time to time, and even introduce the power of Chaos to sweep the four directions.
However, in recent years, the unknown land near the Xinyou border has been relatively peaceful and has not been invaded in this way.
According to the information obtained by the high-level officials of the Taiyi Realm, the situation in other unknown lands adjacent to the border is roughly the same as here.
The high-level officials of the Taiyi Realm, including Meng Zhang, never thought that the threat of Chaos was completely eliminated.
In the last large-scale attack on Chaos organized by the Void Monk, Chaos suffered heavy losses, a large number of Chaos monsters and Chaos Demon Gods were destroyed, and large areas of Chaos were transformed into unknown lands...
In these years, Chaos seems to be retreating, but in fact it is constantly accumulating strength and waiting for the next counterattack.
After several years, the Chaos tide will rise again, and Chaos will use the Chaos tide to launch a large-scale invasion of the Void again.
Since the opening of the Void, the situation between the Void and Chaos has been almost like this.
Although from the overall trend, the Void has the upper hand, constantly winning again and again, and constantly compressing the influence of Chaos.
However, there are also some repetitions.
Under Meng Zhang's order, the high-level officials of Taiyi Realm have always been highly vigilant against Chaos.
Except Meng Zhang, other Taiyi Realm monks dare not enter Chaos directly.
Several immortals led a group of elite celestial beings to practice in unknown places many times, and also came to the edge of chaos, slowly contacting and adapting to the environment here, trying to fight against the power of chaos...
If chaos invades in the future, they will not be at a loss.
Whether it is Meng Zhang or Niu Dawei and other immortals, they all feel that there are too few golden immortals in Taiyi Realm.
Relying on Meng Zhang alone, a golden immortal, Taiyi Realm is enough to gain a foothold in the void and dominate one side.
But there are many golden immortal-level forces in the void, and some of them are far more powerful than Taiyi Realm.
Meng Zhang chose to let Taiyi Realm take root in the Xinyou border area, and while he gained many benefits, he also had some hidden worries.
The borders are the bridgeheads to resist the invasion of chaos.
The cultivation forces stationed in various border areas are the first to face the forces of chaos, and they are actually expendable.
If the invading chaos force is too strong, they will be cannon fodder to delay and delay the enemy's attack.
Almost every time the chaos invades, some border areas are breached, and the cultivation forces inside suffer a catastrophe.
No one can guarantee that the Xinyou border area will not encounter this situation.
If the Taiyi Realm has a strong enough force, even if the Xinyou border area becomes the focus of the chaos, the Taiyi Realm can always hold on.
Almost every time Meng Zhang returns to the Taiyi Realm, he will carefully instruct the Taiyi Realm cultivators, especially those high-level cultivators.
Although his guidance alone is not enough to give birth to new golden immortals in the Taiyi Realm.
But he will provide various conditions for cultivators with this talent and clear some unnecessary obstacles.
The Taiyi Realm has long been able to steadily cultivate strong people at the level of Immortal Venerable.
With many immortals, Taiyi Realm is strong enough to lead the Endless Alliance and suppress the four directions even if Meng Zhang is away for a long time...
Meng Zhang is very satisfied with the development of Taiyi Realm.
He doesn't need to worry too much about the situation in Taiyi Realm, but he needs to pay more attention to Taimiao in the underworld.
The Buddhist sect has lost a Buddha this time, and it may not be easy to retaliate against him directly for the time being, but it can strike him in other ways.
The outside world does not know that Taimiao is his incarnation, but everyone knows that Taimiao has a close relationship with him and is a loyal ally of Taiyi Realm.
The close relationship and cooperation between Taimiao and Taiyi Realm...are rare in the cultivation world, and the two can be regarded as one.
By striking Taimiao, Taiyi Realm can also be severely damaged.
In the past, the Earth Mother God System and Yunmen Sect and other sects have done this.
If the Buddhist authorities take action, the force they mobilize will be far stronger than those forces.
You know, due to the existence of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Buddhism is the strongest force in the underworld.
Even the old Taoist sect in the void is suppressed by Buddhism in the underworld.
Fortunately, due to the joint suppression of various cultivation forces, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was greatly restricted in the underworld.
Otherwise, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could easily eliminate forces like Taimiao with just a direct move.
Although there is no need to worry about the direct threat from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for the time being, other forces in Buddhism, even those that Buddhism can command and influence, are also a big threat.
Taimiao seems to be developing rapidly in the underworld, but after all, his foundation is shallow and his accumulation is limited.
After he joined the Taoist system and became a part of it, he would have been protected by Taoism.
However, due to the inaction of the decision-making level of Taoism, the various forces of Taoism in the underworld often find it difficult to form a joint force.
Meng Zhang has made many enemies within Taoism, and Taimiao will definitely be affected accordingly.
Taimiao has been actively making friends with some forces of Taoism in the underworld, and has indeed achieved some results.
But again, he has joined Taoism for too short a time, has limited friends, and is not very reliable.
If Buddhism really has any big moves against Taimiao, as long as Buddhism moves quickly enough, Taoism may not be able to react in time.
If Taimiao is not well prepared, it may not be able to hold on until the arrival of reinforcements.
Therefore, Meng Zhang solemnly reminded Taimiao, and Taimiao did strengthen defenses in all aspects.
Since the last expansion operation, Taimiao has not made any major external moves, and has been consolidating the newly occupied territory and digesting various spoils.
Through the efforts during this period, the newly occupied territory has been completely under his control.
The Hades is a special lord of the underworld, and can increase his strength by expanding the scope of the territory.
Taimiao has been practicing in seclusion for many years and has made great progress, but he is still far behind Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
He has studied hard for many years, but he still can't see through the secret of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's power.
In this case, he can only continue to become stronger through conventional means.
Such as practicing in seclusion, enhancing his understanding of the great way of heaven and earth, strengthening his control over the reincarnation pool, and occupying more territory...
As a new force in the underworld, he has been suppressed and restricted by many old forces.
It was okay on the Taoist side. Those local forces in the underworld, the Buddhist and Shinto forces... were very hostile to him.
The last time he went on a foreign expedition to expand his territory, he was blocked by these forces, either openly or secretly.
He was also a character who became more courageous with more setbacks.
Not only did he not intend to stop, but he was ready to continue to expand after digesting the spoils of the last war.
Of course, expansion must not be blind.
Before taking action, you must carefully select the target and contact the Taoist forces that you are friendly with in advance...
Originally, his preparations were almost done and he was about to start another round of external expansion.
At this time, he received a warning from Meng Zhang.
In the past, on the Buddhist side, there were only a few forces such as the Yunmen Sect and the Fahua Sect that opposed the Taiyi Realm.
Their strength in the underworld was limited and did not pose much of a threat to Tai Miao.
But if the Buddhist high-level officials came forward, the situation would be very different.
The Buddhist sect only needed to mobilize a small part of its forces in the underworld to easily crush Tai Miao.
Tai Miao had to stop the action that he had been preparing for a long time and began to strengthen defense to guard against the attack of Buddhist forces.
Although this incident was caused by Meng Zhang's killing of Namo Sun Moon Light Buddha, as Meng Zhang's incarnation, he naturally could not blame Meng Zhang for this.
Tai Miao has some things that Meng Zhang lacks in his personality.
He is more impulsive and radical than Meng Zhang, and is more willing to take risks and accept various challenges...
The threat from the Buddhist sect did not scare him, but instead inspired his fighting spirit.
He is on his own territory, with the power of the territory, and can fully communicate and use the power of the Samsara Pool. He believes that he is enough to fight against powerful enemies from all sides.
As long as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva does not take action directly, unless multiple powerful people at the level of the Hades Emperor join forces, they will not be able to do anything to him.
As long as he is prepared and not ambushed by the enemy, it will be very difficult for the enemy to take him down head-on.
If the Buddhist sect really makes a big move and carries out large-scale mobilization, it will be difficult to hide it from the Taoist sect, and the Taoist sect will not be able to sit idly by.
Although Tai Miao has sufficient self-confidence, he is not arrogant.
He also contacted some friendly underworld forces and made some agreements on offensive and defensive alliances.
The problem on Tai Miao's side is that there are not enough allies who are reliable and powerful enough.
Meng Zhang has been promoted to Golden Immortal for a short time, but he already has some reliable Golden Immortal allies.
But these Golden Immortal allies have no power in the underworld.
Fairy Yuzhen was promoted to Golden Immortal after Meng Zhang, and the Yuzhen Sect has been busy fighting against the Earth Mother God System, and has not developed a strong enough force in the underworld.
Qianyuan Golden Immortal has not developed any power in the underworld.
Otherwise, he would not have supported Taimiao and reached some agreements with Meng Zhang on cooperation in the underworld.
Daolian Golden Immortal has always been a loner and has no power in the Yang world, let alone in the underworld.
As for the Guyue family and the major members of the Endless Alliance, their power in the underworld is far less than that of Taimiao, and the help they can provide is even more limited.
...
Tai Miao's biggest help in the underworld is still the power of Luoyu Sect.
However, although Luoyu Sect has the support of Yuhua Golden Immortal behind it, it is not a Golden Immortal sect itself. Its power in the underworld is always limited, and the help it can provide is not enough.
After carefully analyzing the situation in the underworld, Meng Zhang felt that he still had to work hard in the Yang world.
As a representative of the hardliners in the Taoist sect, Yuhua Jinxian has many supporters and good connections.
Since Meng Zhang has joined the camp of the alien Jinxian, he can naturally ask for help from the alien Jinxian.
There are not many of these alien Jinxians who have established their own sects, and even fewer who have developed powerful forces in the underworld. But if you really count them, there are still some who have strong power in the underworld.
Meng Zhang actively contacted many Jinxians and put forward his own requirements, hoping that when Tai Miao was attacked by the Buddhist forces, their forces in the underworld could lend a hand.
