Chapter 984: Five-Year Bet
Chapter 984: Five-year bet
The little golden dragon spit out a string of bubbles and said viciously: "Five thousand magic pills!"
Zhang Jun didn't have time to bargain with it, and gritted his teeth: "Okay! Five thousand is five thousand!"
"This man has some strength, I'll lend you my power to beat him." The little golden dragon said with a smile, and then a dragon's might was released, instantly filling Zhang Jun's spiritual field. In an instant, Zhang Jun felt that his body was filled with an invincible power, which was the real dragon power that the little golden dragon lent him.
At this moment, the Killing Emperor opened his mouth and spurted out a sword energy, killing Zhang Jun at close range. Zhang Jun let out a long roar, and the real dragon power gushed out. He also opened his mouth and blew, and a strong wind swept through. The sword light exploded with a "bo" sound, and it couldn't hurt him at all.
Then he spread his hands and bounced the Killing Emperor away, and then pressed him to the ground again. However, after the Killing Emperor's clone had performed a fatal blow, the clone's power had been exhausted and gradually became blurred. He roared with reluctance: "Little thief, I will kill you!"
"Old dog, I won't let you go either." After saying that, he crossed his hands, and the clone of the Killing Emperor completely turned into a rain of light and dissipated.
The Yuangu Emperor on the other side was shocked. He could see the attack of the Killing Emperor clearly, which was definitely as lethal as the Emperor, but how could the other party be fine?
"It's your turn!" Zhang Jun stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and his right arm extended at once, and the sky-covering hand pressed down. The power of the real dragon filled his palm, and his combat power was not weaker than that of the Wugu Emperor himself. His clone was even more unable to resist and was suppressed in an instant.
"Yuangu strike!"
The Yuangu Emperor, unwilling to be humiliated, also delivered a fatal blow and activated his great magical power.
Feeling the opponent's surging divine power, Zhang Jun snorted heavily, and with the golden mace horizontally, he said in a deep voice: "Suppress the three realms!"
The eighth mace technique was performed, and a dragon roar came from the mace, and the brilliant light radiated immediately drowned the Wugu Emperor. Seeing that the Wugu Emperor's clone was about to dissipate after performing a fatal blow, Zhang Jun rushed over and slapped him. To outsiders, it seemed that he had slapped the Wugu Emperor's clone apart.
"Good!"
A series of cheers came from the sky. It turned out that the imprisonment power of the Yuangu Bell disappeared, and the emperors regained their freedom. At this time, Wugu Chanjun and Shalu Emperor looked ugly. They were not only annoyed because Zhang Jun killed their clones, but also shocked by Zhang Jun's infinite potential and extraordinary qualifications.
"Hahaha!" Chaos Emperor laughed, "So satisfying! So satisfying!"
Primordial Emperor asked in a deep voice, "Do you really want to stop me?"
"You are blind!" Chaos Emperor suddenly became furious, "Can't you see Zhang Jun's potential? If he can grow up, why should we be afraid of the hundreds of races!"
"Chaos! Watch your words!" Killing Emperor frowned, his face showing anger, "This boy has good talent, but when he grows up, the Middle-earth cultivation world may no longer exist!"
"That may not be the case." Five Thunder Emperor snorted coldly, saying, "Don't let selfishness blind your wisdom, you should see his future. I bet that within five years, Zhang Jun will become an emperor!"
The five emperors of the Immortal Court were shocked, becoming an emperor within five years! They looked at each other and shook their heads. Yuan Gu Emperor said sarcastically, "Emperor within five years? Nothing like this has ever happened! If he becomes an emperor within five years, I can become a Daluo."
"Then let's make a bet." Hu Lao San's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he suddenly said, "If Zhang Jun becomes an emperor within five years, you will disband the Immortal Court, enter the Legendary Academy as a mentor, and obey Zhang Jun's orders."
"What if he can't do it?" Yuan Gu Emperor asked back with a cold light in his eyes.
"If he can't do it, the four of us will all join the Immortal Court and obey your orders, how about it?" Hu Lao San said lightly, and then he looked at the other three emperors, "Do you dare to agree?"
"Why not!" Chaos Emperor, Five Thunder Emperor, Ouyang Baitian, the three emperors actually all agreed to the bet.
"Okay! Then please swear a great oath against your demons!" Wu Gu Emperor said immediately, "Those who violate this oath will be despised by heaven and earth!"
The nine emperors on both sides clapped their hands and swore, then left without saying a word. A great crisis was resolved in this way. Although it was unexpected, it was reasonable. The emperors were the top existences in the world, so how could they easily take action? If the emperors did not take action, it would be a fight to the death. In this regard, the Immortal Court did not dare and could not do it. Similarly, the four emperors on Zhang Jun's side would not take action easily.
The so-called bet was, to a large extent, just an excuse for both parties to step down. Of course, this bet was not a joke. If they missed today, the Immortal Court would still take down Zhang Jun. This was related to the Immortal Court's control over the secular world, the faith of the world, and even the struggle for Daluo.
After a while, the five emperors returned to the Immortal Court. Emperor Lingyin sent a message: "Wu Gu, you dare to bet, but are you sure?"
"Humph!" Emperor Yuangu said coldly, "It's not that easy to become an emperor within five years! Even if Zhang Jun really has this aptitude, I am sure I can stop him."
Emperor Lingyin seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up: "I forgot that you have an ancient curse in your hand, but it would be a waste to use it on this boy."
"Don't waste it." Emperor Wugu said, "Chaos, Wu Lei, Ouyang Baitian, and Hu Laosan, if these four people are under his command, the Immortal Palace will be extremely stable, which is more important than the ancient curse. Furthermore, Zhang He must be killed. If he does not become an emperor within five years, we can kill him openly. "
"That's true." Emperor Lingyin nodded, "The cultivation world in Middle-earth has always lacked synergy. If we can subdue the four of them, it will indeed be a great thing."
Emperor Yuan Gu: "What's more important is that we can't control the secular world without getting rid of Zhang Jun." He narrowed his eyes, "I have taken a crucial step towards becoming a great Luo. I can hope to become a great Luo!" Before I can reach Daluo, I must collect enough faith, but if I want to collect faith, I must use secular power."
"So we must get rid of Zhang Jun." Emperor Lingyin nodded, "Not only you, if we have the opportunity to achieve Daluo in the future, we must also control the authority in the world, which will inevitably conflict with him."
"In the Daluo dispute, all means are used. It's just that he is too greedy." The Wugu Emperor said lightly. After saying that, he dismissed the Immortal Court meeting, and then the five emperors disappeared.
On the other hand, Zhang Jun invited all the emperors to the secret realm of Hunyuan. He bowed his hand to Old Demon Juetian, feeling deeply grateful in his heart: "Thank you Demon Lord for your help. Let's just forget about the past."
Juetian old devil smiled "hehe": "It's easy to talk. I'm trying to sell Chaos old devil to save face. But you are an interesting doll. You actually destroyed the clones of Yuan Gu and Killing. I like it!"
At this time, Emperor Chaos told him about the bet. Zhang Jun was moved when he heard it and said: "The emperors are betting the future on this kid, how can I dare to take it?"
"Didn't you say that you would go to the Immortal Court in half a year to ask for an explanation?" Hu Laosan smiled lightly, "With this oath, no matter how much trouble you make, those shameless old guys will not do anything to you."
Zhang Jun bowed to everyone: "Zhang Jun has nothing to say in return!"
The emperors waved their hands one after another, and Ouyang Baitian said: "This is a dispute between Daluo, but we are the ones who harmed you."
Zhang Jun was stunned: "How do you say this?"
Ouyang Baitian said: "The Tianxing Kingdom is your private territory, and the Central Kingdom is the superpower you control. The combined population of these two places exceeds 1.5 billion. Think about it, if any of the four of us When I am about to become Daluo, can I ask you to help me establish a religion in the world?"
Zhang Jun understood immediately, and he sighed: "I understand! If I hadn't been close to several emperors, Xian Ting would not be so eager to touch me. However, the population that Xian Ting has the ability to control is this. Now But I am in control of everything, so they are naturally worried. Even if they don't deal with me today, they will come down to pick peaches sooner or later. "
"That's true, it will be a day sooner or later to deal with you." The Chaos Emperor said, "But our joining will make your situation more dangerous."
Zhang Jun touched his chin: "It seems that this bet is not the end, but a beginning. I expect there will be a big battle."
"Twelve emperors on both sides are confronting each other, and there are two great magic weapons. It is impossible to fight." Ouyang Baitian waved his hands, "If the emperors were so impulsive, the world would have been in chaos. This bet is just It’s just an excuse for both parties to step down, you don’t have to worry about it.”
The Five Thunder Emperor warned him: "But you must also be careful. The Yuan Gu Emperor has countless tricks. There is a high probability that he will find a way to plot against you in order to win the bet."
Zhang Jun raised his eyebrows: "Plot against me? Just let him do it!" To be honest, he is really not afraid of any plot. The Buddha's eyes are all over the sky, and no method can hide it from his eyes.
When the matter was over, Zhang Jun politely sent Tang and Mingjia away, and promised to refine the blood-quenching pill for Liang. Ming Jia also made a request politely, hoping that Zhang Jun could help him refine a magical elixir that could instantly increase his potential.
Juetian Laomo didn't leave, he stayed. The main reason is that Zhang Jun is very curious about the "soul-absorbing method" of Old Demon Jue Tian. He feels that Tian Chi Taoist's Yang Finger seems to have something in common with it, so he humbly asks for advice on the mystery.
As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. Although this Jue Tian Demon Lord is a member of the devil's path, he admires Zhang Jun very much, and both sides smile and forget their grudges. After hearing the story about Taoist Tianchi and A Chou, the old devil's expression immediately became solemn, and he said to himself: "Could he be the descendant of the life-killing emperor?"
"The life-killing emperor?" Zhang Jun knew that he had information and quickly asked for advice.
"The Life-Destroying Emperor is an old monster who has lived for thousands of years, from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. He knew a way to steal other people's life force, broke through the life limit, and finally lived for more than a thousand years ." Jue Tian Demon Lord said, "But he also died a tragic death. It is said that he died of a horrific punishment from heaven."
"Heavenly punishment!" Zhang Jun was stunned. He had never heard of it.
"Heaven's Punishment, as the name suggests, is the punishment sent down by God. No one can escape from Heaven's Punishment, not even Daluo Tianjun." There was fear in Juetian's old devil's eyes, "In short, it is very terrifying!"
"So, Taoist Tianchi is probably the descendant of the fatal emperor?" Zhang Jun asked.
"It is possible, but not sure." Jue Tian Demon Lord speculated, "Comparatively speaking, the method of killing the emperor is far better than my 'soul-absorbing method'. The soul-absorbing method can absorb the life force of others and use it for me. , but it cannot extend my life.”
Zhang Jun then thought of the corpse demon: "Senior is a member of the devil's path, why don't you learn from the corpse demon to live forever?"
"Is that also called immortality?" Jue Tian Demon Lord said contemptuously, "It's just a walking corpse, worse than a pig or a dog, and I am not ashamed of it."
Zhang Jun nodded: "It's just a matter of the world. There are gains and losses, and there is nothing we can do about it."
The Jue Tian Demon Lord said calmly: "This Demon Lord practices the Jue Tian Demon Sutra. If I can cut off the evil thoughts at the last moment, I can step into the quasi-Da Luo realm. But this step is not easy, it is difficult, it is too difficult! And I am even more difficult than ordinary people. It’s a thousand times harder for a monk!”
After the matter came to an end, Zhang Jun continued to refine his blood-quenching pill. Originally, he decided to only give the eighty-one fourteenth-level divine warriors the blood-quenching pill. Later, he went to the restricted area of life and picked up a large amount of magic medicine, so that he could refine a large amount of magic pill. Then he decided to also give those two One hundred and nine level 13 gods warriors and 375 level 12 gods were promoted together.
In addition, after this incident, he believed that it was necessary to comprehensively improve the strength of those around him. Bai Xuan, Hadi, Zong Yuan, and Qing Lian were all called out by him from the Legend Academy and asked them to practice the Blood Tempering Sutra and strengthen their bodies together with Ling'er, Chu Chu, and Dongdong in the secret territory of Hunyuan.
Xiao Longnu also arrived. She originally practiced the magical power of physical body sanctification. So he will refine a series of magical elixirs specifically for her to help Xiao Longnu initiate the Holy Fetal Transformation, allowing her to reach the realm of becoming a saint in the physical body.
Lin Xian, Su Mei, Ge Xiaoxian, Su Xiaoyu, Shen Rong, Ouyang Jingping, and Nangong Zi also temporarily put down their work and entered the Hunyuan Secret Realm to practice. Even Bai Lingxue and Shangguan Meixue, who had not practiced much, began to take spiritual pills to slowly strengthen their physiques in preparation for practicing the Blood Tempering Meridian in the future.
As for his parents and brother-in-law, they are not practitioners, so Zhang Jun still has to create a new body-training method for them. It's just that things like this need to be done slowly, but there is no need to rush.
For several days, Zhang Jun was busy refining alchemy and practicing, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: If he could manifest his clone, he wouldn't be as busy as he is now. At that time, as soon as the mind moves, several clones will appear, and they can do many things at the same time, and they will never be as busy as now.
As Zhang Jun worked hard to help his family improve, the situation on the Korean battlefield changed. As more light armor and second-generation God-Slaying mechas joined the battlefield, the Earth Federation felt tremendous pressure. The military planes and tanks they sent were of no use at all. In the end, they could only send sub-angels and archangels to fight in North Korea. .
As a result of the battle, hundreds of sub-angels and five archangels died in a short period of time. If the current situation continues, it won't be long before the elite of the entire revealed religion will be exhausted. Seeing that the Central Powers were investing more and more combat power, the Holy See finally couldn't bear it anymore and expressed its willingness to cease the war.
However, the Central Government has a very tough attitude and rejects all armistice conditions proposed by the Federation. The demands of the Central State are very direct. The Federation must withdraw from the Korean Peninsula and recognize the Central State's sovereignty over the Korean Peninsula.
When the negotiations reached a deadlock, Xiaoqiang appeared in the Hunyuan Secret Realm.
"Boss, the Federation wants to cease the war and negotiations are ongoing. I decided to open a second battlefield and respond to them with a tough attitude." Xiaoqiang startled Zhang Jun as soon as he spoke.
"Open a second battlefield? What do you mean?"
Xiaoqiang stretched out his hand and pointed in the air, and a terrain map appeared. It showed a huge peninsula in the south of Central China, the Indochina Peninsula.
"The Indochina Peninsula has a population of over 200 million, an area of over 2 million square kilometers, and a coastline of more than 10,000 kilometers." Xiaoqiang briefly introduced the situation of the Indochina Peninsula. "If we capture the Indochina Peninsula, we can connect the entire East Asia. , which will greatly facilitate our ocean development plans.”
"The reason is not sufficient." Zhang Jun shook his head, "This area is very complicated, and it currently belongs to the Earth Federation. I don't want to take over."
"The above are just superficial reasons." Xiao Qiang said, "The deeper reason is that the boss must take over the southeastern peninsula, because the Buddhist faith in this place is facing a fatal threat."
Next, Xiaoqiang presented a series of evidence showing that a force was penetrating into the local Buddhist forces, then dividing and disintegrating them, and even began to tamper with Buddhist teachings. This series of changes immediately aroused Zhang Jun's vigilance. You know, this belief is the key to the success of Daluo. There is a dispute between Daluo in China, and naturally there is also a dispute in Indochina! If the Revealed Religion wants to take action in this area, he will never agree and must intervene!
"This matter is not urgent." He thought for a while and said to Xiaoqiang, "I want to go to Indochina in person to understand the situation there first."
Xiaoqiang: "Okay, I will send ten light armor guards to protect the boss's safety."
After about a week, Zhang Jun refined a sufficient amount of elixirs using the spiritual alchemy method, and then asked Ouyang Baitian to take care of everyone's cultivation. After everything was done, he officially left for Indochina.
On the way, he searched for Buddhist scriptures through Xiaoqiang, especially the Theravada Tripitaka, and then studied them carefully. The Tripitaka Sutra is the foundation of Theravada Buddhism. Buddhist believers on the Indochina Peninsula practice the Theravada Buddhist sutras.
Theravada Buddhism is Southern Buddhism, a Buddhist inheritance based on the Tripitaka Sutra. Chinese Buddhism calls it Hinayana Buddhism and calls itself Mahayana Buddhism. However, in Zhang Jun's view, there is no distinction between Mahayana and Mahayana in Buddhism. Buddhism has three thousand methods of liberation, and any one of them is correct to practice. However, the cultivation methods of Theravada Buddhism are indeed different from those of Middle-earth Buddhism, and he can clearly distinguish them.
The Theravada Buddhist monks pay attention to self-liberation and practice the thirty-seven levels of Taoism. Most of them can only cultivate to the level of Arhat, that is, only to the level of holding elixirs.
