Chapter 255: Truly Fearless
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance established a temporary headquarters, where high-level officials gathered to discuss countermeasures.
The scene once fell into chaos and mutual accusations, with Tiandao Palace bearing the brunt. If they hadn't been supported by four ancestors, Tiandao Palace would have been wiped out.
The voice of the First Ancestor of Tiandao overshadowed everyone and shouted: "My Tiandao Palace was fooled by Zhang Ye. We are indeed responsible for the loss of the Soul Suppressing Pillar, but the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance came out in full force. This is not the decision of our Tiandao Palace." !”
As soon as these words were spoken, the Diamond Temple, Xuanji Pavilion, and Guangming Sect were instantly brought down. No matter how angry the other sects were, they would not dare to offend several major sects at the same time.
Seeing that the situation had been stabilized, Tiandao Yizu continued: "Now is not the time to shirk responsibilities and fight among ourselves. There are two problems that need to be solved at the moment. First, how to restore the reincarnation formation; second, how to fight back!"
Yes, this is a top priority. All the participants nodded, and someone asked: "Since the First Patriarch of Tiandao has pointed out the key, does he already have a countermeasure?"
There was a hint of pride in the eyes of the Tiandao First Ancestor. The reason why he actively offered suggestions was not only to protect the Tiandao Palace, but also had another purpose. The three major sects kicked the Tiandao Palace out, and the Tiandao First Ancestor wanted to return to the peak of power.
The three major sects did not speak and signaled Tiandao Palace to continue.
The First Ancestor of Tiandao continued: "Let's talk about the counterattack first. This is easy to solve. Although the Ascension Platform camp has a large number of people, our side still has the advantage in terms of top combat power. In the past, we couldn't do anything against the Ascension Platform camp. We didn’t take it seriously because the Shengshengtai camp was hiding in various places and it was difficult to catch them all at once!”
"But it's different now. The Ascension Platform camp has occupied the headquarters of our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. They will definitely be reluctant to let go and will use it as their stronghold. It is true that their defensive power will be strengthened a little, but we still have three Taoist tools and With twice as many tribulation masters as them, they can wipe out the Ascension Platform camp with just one full blow!"
The First Ancestor of Tiandao analyzed the essence through the phenomenon. Everyone in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance suddenly realized that it was true that the Ascension Platform camp had robbed our headquarters, but it also bound them to the Northern Territory. As long as the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance counterattacked with elites, Ascension The Taiwan camp will definitely not be able to take advantage of it!
It's like a hunter took advantage of the lion's absence and occupied the lion's den, waiting for the lion to come back to see if he could bite him to death!
The monks praised the analysis of the First Patriarch of Tiandao and asked: "What should we do about the reincarnation formation?"
The reincarnation formation requires four soul-suppressing pillars to be activated. Now one of them is missing, and the ascension plan is bankrupt. It's a headache just thinking about it.
The First Ancestor of Tiandao has taken control of the whole scene, and he is even more impressive: "The reincarnation formation can be easily solved. There are two ways. The first way is to destroy the Ascension Platform camp and interrogate Zhang Ye about the whereabouts of the Soul Suppressing Pillar. However, with Zhang Ye’s methods, the Soul Suppressing Pillar might have been destroyed already, so this move needs to be considered.”
"So, I recommend the second method. The four major sects can ask the gods to help. Since the soul-suppressing pillar is given by the gods, it is not difficult to get another one from them, but it may have to pay a certain price! "The First Ancestor of Tiandao paused, "But don't worry, since our Tiandao Palace is responsible for the Dongzhen Soul Pillar, the price will also be borne by our Tiandao Palace!"
The First Patriarch of Tiandao solved the urgent need of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance with a few words. Everyone cheered, but the ancestors of the three major sects had extremely ugly expressions.
Because they know that the so-called price is nothing more than the heavenly being's request to increase the number of human souls.
The First Ancestor of Tiandao seems to be responsible for all the costs. In fact, if the total number of human souls does not reach the standard, no one can open the door to ascension. Therefore, doesn't everyone have to bear the price together?
However, several major factions did not object to the Tiandao Palace stepping forward and asking the gods to take action. The risks were not small. If the gods were offended, it was possible to be killed on the spot.
As for Tiandao Palace wanting to take this opportunity to return to the pinnacle of power of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the three major factions knew it well, but Tiandao Palace was responsible for obtaining a soul-suppressing pillar, so they reluctantly gave it a chance, or maybe , prepare for a new burning of bridges.
Calculating and being plotted are happening everywhere, it just depends on who is more skilled. The first ancestor of Tiandao had a deep smile.
Later, Tiandao Palace contacted the heavenly beings, and the Buddhist power in heaven made a promise to send a new soul-suppressing pillar to Tiandao Palace within ten days, but the price was that Tiandao Palace had to shoulder the task of collecting the souls of half a million monks. quantity.
Tiandao Palace didn't care about killing half a million monks. Anyway, the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had to help complete it, so they agreed immediately.
Tiandao Palace has returned to the pinnacle of power, and the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance are also working hard. Waiting for the Soul Suppressing Pillar to be in place, they will launch a counterattack against the Ascension Platform camp. In addition to avenging their shame, they must also complete the ascension plan in one fell swoop.
Prajna City in the Northern Territory was originally a cultivation city under the jurisdiction of the Vajra Temple. It later became the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, but now it is in the hands of the monks from the Ascension Platform camp.
Many monks came to Prajna City for the second time, because they had just escaped from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance some time ago.
However, this time they arrived willingly and full of hope. Although they are always prepared for the counterattack of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, Prajna City is full of vitality.
Zhang Ye did not participate in the management of Fucheng or the Ascension Platform camp, not only because Zhang Ye was not good at it, but also because Han Ling'er and Murong Hongzhuang controlled everything in an orderly manner, so Zhang Ye had no worries.
He temporarily moved the blacksmith shop to Prajna City and concentrated on making magic weapons. Demons, demons, and humans gather here, and top magic weapons are in high demand. Of course, there is also a lot of demand for low-level magic weapons and demon weapons, but Zhang Ye handed over these magic weapons to the Tiangong clan for forging, while he specialized in magic weapons above immortal weapons. His experience points were rising steadily, and the forging level improvement was just around the corner.
On this day, Zhang Ye got off work and stayed alone in the blacksmith shop, feeling extremely bored. Some people may ask, how can it be boring when you have two beauties? Not to mention that Han Ling'er and Murong Hongzhuang were not yet familiar with each other to the point where the two women were serving the same husband, but now, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was always ready to counterattack, and the two women were running around setting up defenses, so they had no time to play with Zhang Ye.
It is said that this Prajna City is similar to Tiandao City, with abundant spiritual energy. The monks need to eat to resist the burden on the body. Zhang Ye is too lazy to do it alone, changes his appearance, and goes to a restaurant in the city.
As for why he had to disguise himself, Zhang Ye was a famous person in the world. It was not only to prevent chaos, but also because he was afraid that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would send people to assassinate him, so he disguised himself when he went out to be prepared.
Zhang Ye heard someone talk about a restaurant called Banyue Zhai, and its vegetarian food was unparalleled in the world. Zhang Ye was ready to have a taste.
Before it was time to eat, the Banyue Zhai was already crowded with people, both demon cultivators and human cultivators. The cultivators in the Ascension Platform camp had long been accustomed to this situation and were not surprised by it.
Zhang Ye was lucky enough to find an empty table, ordered a pot of tea and some vegetarian dishes, and ate them happily.
Not long after, the Banyuezhai kitchen made a noise, and a man was thrown to the street by the chef, or in other words, half a man.
Because the man who was thrown on the street had all his limbs missing, the so-called "human stick".
However, Zhang Ye felt a little curious, because this man with missing limbs was a monk, and a monk who had reached the realm of god transformation. A Nascent Soul cultivator can regenerate a broken limb, not to mention a master of divine transformation?
This limbless master of transformation rolled on the ground and managed to turn over by twisting his waist.
He has a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is very resolute. If his hands and feet were healthy, he would be a handsome man.
Just listen to the cook scolding: "Xu Shilin, I have told you so many times that there is no work for you here, so get away as far as you can!"
The other diners were not surprised, but Zhang Ye was curious and asked: "What's going on?"
When the cook saw Zhang Ye's inquiry, he said respectfully: "The guest is laughing at this. Xu Shilin offended a monk from the Jingang Temple before, and he used Buddhist methods to cut off the lifeblood of his limbs, and they will never grow back."
"Without my limbs, I can't use my spiritual transformation skills, which is really pitiful."
Zhang Ye frowned and asked again: "Then why did you hit him?"
The cook sighed: "Speaking of which, we don't want to fight, but Xu Shilin has a bad temper and refuses to accept charity from others even if he starves to death. He insists on using labor in exchange. You have also seen that he looks like this. What can he do? ”
"It doesn't matter once or twice. If he comes to cause trouble every day and is in the way, there is nothing we can do about him leaving."
Zhang Ye looked at Xu Shilin who was squirming on the ground. Even if passers-by pointed at him, he still moved forward firmly. Somehow, Zhang Ye was inexplicably touched.
Zhang Ye didn't say anything more, ordered the cook to leave, took a few bites of vegetarian food, paid the bill and left.
Zhang Ye followed Xu Shilin from a distance and saw Xu Shilin crawling through all the shops on the street, trying to find work, but he was kicked out. Some shopkeepers were kind and offered Xu Shilin some food, but Xu Shilin refused: "I didn't beg. "
Xu Shilin continued to move forward. When he reached the back, he left the main street and came to an alley. Suddenly, a person appeared in front of him, it was Zhang Ye.
Before Zhang Ye could speak, Xu Shilin took the lead and said: "Your Excellency has followed me all the way. If you want to give me charity, please come back; if you want to kill me, I will be very grateful."
When Zhang Ye heard this, he found it interesting: "If I kill you, why are you so grateful?"
Xu Shilin looked sad: "Because living is meaningless."
"It's boring to live, why do you want to live?" Zhang Ye asked.
"Since he is alive, it doesn't matter whether he is interesting or not." Zhang Ye was stunned for a long time by Xu Shilin's words.
Zhang Ye followed Xu Shilin out of curiosity on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was shocked by his will to survive.
It stands to reason that a high-ranking and powerful person who can transform into gods would have committed suicide long ago after losing his limbs, becoming a cripple, and being looked down upon. But this Xu Shilin still wants to live, and he also wants to live with his own efforts. As for his gratitude to the person who killed him, it shows that Xu Shilin is in great pain and wants to end this life, but he still chooses to live hard. This courage to defeat himself is moving.
How many people have blamed others and given up on themselves because of the slightest setback. This Xu Shilin also taught Zhang Ye a lesson. True fearlessness is the attitude towards life.
Zhang Ye hesitated for a long time and said, "I can provide you with a job."
"You know, I won't accept disguised charity." Xu Shilin had been looking for a job, but he proudly rejected Zhang Ye.
"A decent job." Zhang Ye paused, "Join the Ascension Platform Army to fight against the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
