Very reasonable cultivation

Chapter 125 Dharma and Heaven and Earth

The last ray of sunset dyed the sky blood red, and the mountains, rivers and trees were bathed in the last afterglow, as if everything had stopped breathing.

However, in this seemingly peaceful scene, several blinding white lights suddenly ripped through the sky. It was as if dozens of suns had risen again, instantly swallowing up the golden-red sunset and transforming it into a dazzling daylight.

First, the shockwave swept through the mountains and forests with devastating force, snapping trees in half and sending tumbling sand and rocks into the air, obscuring the sun. Mountains and rivers crumbled, boulders tumbled, and the once tranquil mountains, lush forests, and vibrant streams instantly lost their color, transforming into a purgatory.

The earth was shaking, and Tian Zhen could feel it even from a very far distance. This was also the reason why Tian Zhen did not allow others to come to the front line to help him. The key point was that even if they came, it would be useless. They could not defeat the Yuanying monster and could only flee.

The sunset has completely disappeared, night has fallen, the sky is covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, it seems that a heavy rain is coming, there is a lava zone on the ground that is flaming, emitting high temperature. The sky and the earth, the two different changes seem to be deadlocked, making the heavy rain reluctant to fall.

On the other side, six black shadows suddenly appeared in an unknown cave. Several spots of light emerged, illuminating the dim space and revealing the six black shadows.

"Haha, I guessed right, right? If I were a member of the Qiling Sect, I'd definitely set up an ambush here!" An old man in a Confucian robe said proudly. His face was wrinkled, but his eyes were bright and full of confidence. He paused and continued, "I didn't expect the Qiling Sect to have such a killer move. It scared me so much that I almost broke out in a sweat."

"Come on, old fool, there's not a single bird in that place. Even a blind man can see there's a trap there, so stop bragging," said a middle-aged man with a burly figure and a disdainful smile on his face.

"We've already used one of the Qiankun Yizai Talismans that Master Xumi created with his magical powers. Each of the six of us has two remaining. We wonder if they have any more cards up their sleeves. We'll have to think long and hard about this," said a burly man, resembling a Dazhuang, stroking his beard. His voice was deep and rich, revealing an air of profound wisdom and folly.

"We need to think long-term and send some fellow Daoists in the Nascent Soul stage. Otherwise, I, an old man, can't afford to see them resort to such tactics," said a white-bearded old man, shaking his head. He looked old and frail, but his eyes revealed a hint of cunning, as if he was hiding some secret.

The remaining two people, one was thin and had an ancient long sword on his back, and the other was a woman dressed in black, her face covered by a veil, so her appearance could not be seen clearly. They all nodded in agreement.

These six were all top-tier Nascent Soul masters sent by the six major sects. As for the Nascent Soul masters from other sects, they said they were on their own. As for the disciples they brought with them, if they died, they died. At worst, they could just train another batch. As long as they were safe and sound, they could just blame it on bad luck.

They are not of the same mind to begin with, they are just jackals that come together for what they want. If they get the chance, they will devour their injured companions completely.

The high temperature of the ground gradually cooled down, and the lava-like ground revealed a glassy reflection, as if some kind of balance was broken, and heavy rain poured down with the sound of thunder.

The next batch of flying boat teams also gradually arrived. These people had learned their lesson and split up into many groups, entering the Qiling Sect's sphere of influence from all directions. Tian Zhen could no longer take care of them. Now he only needed to keep a close eye on the movements of those Nascent Soul cultivators, and the rest depended on his own sect.

The rain poured down, and numerous streaks of light streaked across the rainy night. Flashes of thunder occasionally illuminated the sky and earth, the rumbling sounds adding a touch of eerie terror. But without exception, they were all intercepted by a figure emanating streams of light and floating in the air.

Those old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage who were hiding and following a group of Jindan monks were easily found by Tian Zhen. There was no way, these old monsters didn't know what they were thinking, they just moved into the crowd. Could it be that they wanted to protect everyone in front of them?

When people gathered together, they triggered the warning formation. Tian Zhen directly activated the giant puppet component hidden in the mountain and connected it to the driver. Then Tian Zhen focused his attention on other places to prevent any Yuanying stage cultivators who acted alone from slipping through the net.

In the white light of thunder at night, the escaping lights stopped and turned into human forms, looking ahead with serious expressions.

In a flash of white light, the outline of a huge figure as big as a mountain was illuminated, stretching across the sky and earth, like an ancient god in the night.

Suddenly, a V-shaped light of faint golden-red light lit up, like the squinting eyes of a Cyclops, staring faintly at the tiny people below.

"How could the Qiling Sect have such a huge puppet? Why didn't the intelligence we collected mention it?" A Jindan cultivator said in astonishment.

"Well, don't worry about it. You guys go around it and I'll hold it. I like this thing very much." A white-haired but very strong old man said excitedly.

"Yes, Ancestor!" The remaining few people didn't waste any words and immediately took off, transforming into escaping lights and circling to the sides. Although they were curious about this huge puppet, they didn't dare to delay at this time. After all, the purpose of their trip was to attack the Qiling Sect, not to tangle with this puppet.

Seeing that someone was trying to go around him, the person controlling the puppet directly used the giant puppet's own skills, controlling the puppet to open its hands to both sides. The powerful gravitational force instantly sucked the locked escaping lights over. As the giant puppet's hands came together, the several escaping lights merged together before the puppet could even react. When the escaping lights turned into a solid entity, they were already a blurry mass of flesh and blood.

The puppet took a step back, obviously frightened by this powerful force.

"Hahaha, it seems I've come to the right place. This place really can bring surprises. Come! Give me a practice!" The sturdy old man saw that the deaths of the monks who followed him were meaningless, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed heartily.

"Dharma of Heaven and Earth!" A golden figure appeared from behind the sturdy old man, and then quickly grew larger, clearer, and more solid.

Suddenly, an old man with a curly beard, almost as tall as the puppet, with clear shadows, naked upper body, and a blue dragon tattoo on his chest, confronted the huge puppet.

"Come! Fight!" Like a Gundam pilot, the sturdy old man shouted excitedly with golden light in his eyes in the huge light and shadow.

The giant puppet seemed to have come back to its senses. Looking at the huge golden light and shadow in front of it that was almost as tall as itself, it didn't say anything nonsense and walked towards the enemy with earth-shaking steps.
