Checking In for Sixty Years, From Puppet Emperor to Heavenly Emperor – Chapter 75

Ch 75: Righteous-Demonic War

“Emperor Brother, you’re back. It’s so intense here. The formations and spells of the Righteous Path are so powerful, much more powerful than the Brocade Guard.” Zhou Ling Sha started chattering as soon as she came out, waving her hands excitedly.

“How is the situation?” Seeing Zhou Ling Sha’s appearance, not even as excited as during the New Year festival, he smiled and asked.

“They’ve been fighting for three days. The older generation is fighting with formations. I can’t tell who’s winning or losing. The younger generation of the Heretical Path has suffered many casualties. The Righteous Path is fortunate to have elders protecting them, so there are some casualties, but not many,” Zhou Ling Sha said.

“Have you found any trace of the Golden-Robed Man?” Zhou An asked again.

“No, I’ve arranged for Brocade Guards to observe in the surrounding forests, but no one has found anything,” Zhou Ling Sha said.

“Where is your location? I’m coming over now.” After Zhou An finished speaking and heard the approximate address she gave, he immediately transformed into Escaping Light and flew overnight to the mountainous area thirty miles away from East King Village.

Zhou Ling Sha didn’t find the Golden-Robed Man, and Zhou An was somewhat relieved. Although she is now an Innate Cultivator, if she encountered someone of the Golden-Robed Man’s level, I’m afraid the entire Brocade Guard would be wiped out.

But he had to send someone to monitor, because the outcome of this battle would determine the stability of the Qianyuan Empire.

Many demons cultivate without regard for laws, or even Heart Devil. As long as they pass the Heavenly Tribulation, it doesn’t matter if they Enter Demon. This is why many people call demons monsters, and the Heretical Path evil.

Many demons and the Heretical Path like to absorb the essence, blood, and souls of living people to cultivate, just to save effort. This does indeed increase the speed of cultivation relatively quickly, the only downside is that the Heart Devil stage cannot be passed.

Moreover, the possibility of backlash from these spells is relatively high, and the demons and the Heretical Path who choose this path no longer care.

It’s like a diploma obtained through hard work and studying, and a diploma obtained by spending money. Both are useful, but there is a fundamental difference in the essence, and the future path will also have completely different differences.

As soon as he arrived at the East King Mountain Range, he saw multiple mountain peaks fighting with spells. Wind, thunder, water, and fire shone, and black energy and Mystic Light competed for beauty. Fierce Ghosts, talismans, and Flying Swords flew all over the sky, fighting extremely fiercely. Many mountains were damaged.

The disciples were fighting on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain. These powers were much smaller, mainly battles between Magic Treasures and Flying Swords, and the destruction was much smaller.

Fortunately, the Righteous Path cultivators had set up isolation formations on the surrounding mountains, so the commotion of the battle would not spread out, and it also prevented beasts from approaching. Otherwise, there would be too many casualties, and all cultivators would have to bear considerable consequences.

In the past, Zhou An didn’t understand these things. He thought that as long as Immortal Heroes passed the Heavenly Tribulation and were not killed, they could sit back and relax. In fact, Immortal Heroes still have many restrictions. For example, randomly killing living beings, if the number is large to a certain extent, will lightly reduce good fortune, and severely face Heavenly Punishment.

What’s more, there are many cycles of cause and effect, which are very complicated. This is why the Righteous Path needs to give disciples and followers many precepts.

And the Heretical Path mostly does not abide by too many precepts, so in the cultivation world, the probability of the Heretical Path being killed is much higher than that of the Righteous Path disciples.

He came to the mountain peak where Zhou Ling Sha was hiding and saw that this girl was wearing a cloak made of branches and vines, and a flower crown made of vines. It felt like the snipers on Earth hid, which made him laugh and cry.

For cultivators with high cultivation, it is no longer simple to observe with ears and eyes. This kind of dress can at most deceive newcomers who have just entered the Innate Realm.

He walked over and stood beside her, smiling and said, “Your dress is not bad.”

“Emperor Brother, hide quickly, you will be seen.” Zhou Ling Sha quickly reached out to pull him down together.

Zhou An originally wanted to say it directly, but inexplicably, his playful heart rose, and he really squatted with her in the grass and said, “Don’t you know that there are many searching spells that don’t rely on ears and eyes to observe?”

Seeing Zhou An’s mischievous look, Zhou Ling Sha was stunned, and immediately understood. She jumped up all of a sudden, threw off the “cloak” on her body, and said angrily, “Why didn’t you say it earlier? It’s really uncomfortable to wear this thing, and it attracts bugs.”

“In the future, the Brocade Guard will also be in charge of illegal situations involving demons, you need to understand various spells. Making a fool of yourself is a trivial matter, losing your life is a big deal,” Zhou An said.

“Got it.” Zhou Ling Sha pouted, feeling that she had made a fool of herself this time.

“Have you found Qishan Old Ancestor?” Zhou An asked.

“I found him, he’s fighting with the Eight Ethereal Oddities, oh, now it’s Seven Oddities, and a Righteous Oneness Sect disciple has filled in,” Zhou Ling Sha said, pointing to the mountainside on the left.

“Have all your people evacuate, leave the rest to me.” Zhou An said, and immediately flew into the high altitude.

“Hmph, it’s nothing to have high cultivation, when I pass the Triple Heavenly Tribulation, I will also get involved.”

Although Zhou Ling Sha eagerly wanted to participate, she knew the strength of the Brocade Guard and would not joke about the lives of her subordinates, so she could only send a signal to let everyone evacuate.

Zhou An flew into the clouds and activated the Ethereal Demon Eye to search for the Golden-Robed Man’s location. He must be hiding somewhere. He had planned the Righteous-Demonic War for so long, it was absolutely impossible for him to simply let them fight.

The first time he saw the power of the Righteous Oneness Sect’s Nine Heavens Ten Earths Demon Subduing Grand Formation, it was indeed super powerful. The six experts of the Demonic Path were suppressed by them and had no power to fight back.

On the other side, the Jian Sect’s Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Sword Formation had extremely amazing destructive power. Compared to attack power alone, the Eight Ethereal Sword Formation was three points weaker.

He didn’t take action. If he showed up, the Golden-Robed Man would definitely find out, which would be equivalent to losing the effect of a surprise attack. He had to return the great gift that the Golden-Robed Man had prepared for him in the Phoenix Forest.

He saw the highest peak next to him, but this peak was very thin, standing among the mountains like a bamboo shoot. Only two people could stand on the top of the mountain.

Zhou An’s Ethereal Demon Eye swept over and saw the Golden-Robed Man hidden in the concealment formation, with a purple-red flag inserted beside him. He was sitting under the flag, forming hand seals, chanting words.

The Primordial Spirits of the dead cultivators around him were all absorbed into this flag.

“Collecting cultivators’ Primordial Spirits?” Zhou An was surprised. This kind of thing is a taboo in the cultivation world, which is equivalent to not giving people a chance to reincarnate.

Killing people is not considered a great evil in the cultivation world, but the Primordial Spirits of cultivators and the souls of ordinary people must never be destroyed. This is true killing.

Zhou An didn’t know the purpose of him collecting these Primordial Spirits, but the point was to stop this guy from doing things.

His right hand formed a seal, and the Void Wheel flew out, tearing through space and disappearing.

The next second, the space behind the Golden-Robed Man silently cracked open, and the Void Wheel flew out. The Golden-Robed Man noticed the abnormality, formed a hand seal with one hand, and a formation light wall appeared around him. The Void Wheel hit it and stopped.

Zhou An took back the Void Wheel. He was not surprised at all that there was a defensive formation. The Golden-Robed Man was too cautious in doing things.

The Golden-Robed Man revealed a look of surprise, and sighed helplessly, “You are really hard to kill.”

“The flag behind Senior Golden-Robed Man seems very important, and it seems that there is no way to take it back immediately, so you won’t escape this time,”

Zhou An floated in the air and looked at him with a smile, deliberately angering him. Anger would make people lose their minds. To deal with the Golden-Robed Man, he was not afraid of his high cultivation, but that he was too rational, with one trap after another. This was too dangerous.

“It’s time to decide the winner, let’s do it.” The Golden-Robed Man was unmoved, as if the two were not enemies, but just old friends meeting.

Although he looked calm, his movements were not slow. He transformed into black light and rushed into the clouds. With his hands forming seals, eight groups of black energy appeared around him, and eight devils appeared in them.

“Refining devils into Devil Treasures! Aren’t you afraid of Enter Demon?”

Zhou An was shocked. It was normal for devils to use this thing, but whether it was a human or a demon, touching these things would definitely be eroded by Demonic Energy, and finally turn into a real devil and lose rationality.

“Ignorant junior, you fear demons like tigers, but to me, they are all treasures that help me attain the Dao.”

The Golden-Robed Man pointed his hand, and the eight devils opened their bloody mouths, their heads surrounded by mixed Demonic Energy, and surrounded him from all directions.

Zhou An’s left hand held the Sun Universe Pearl, and Great Sun True Fire appeared around him, wrapping his body. Above the clouds, he was like a blazing sun.

The eight devils hit the Great Sun True Fire, but were burned and screamed, and the Demonic Energy could not invade for the time being.

“It is impolite not to reciprocate. You helped me deliver the Void Wheel, so you can try it too.” Zhou An’s right hand formed a seal, and the Void Wheel traveled through space and directly appeared in front of the Golden-Robed Man.

The Golden-Robed Man was too familiar with the power of the Void Wheel. This thing could only be defended, not avoided. Even Flying Swords could not stop it. That’s why so many devils feared it and tried their best to kill the owner of the Void Wheel.

He stretched out his hands, and Crimson Sha gathered in his palms, forming a Crimson Blood Demon Blade, which he crossed in front of his chest to block the Void Wheel.

But at the moment of contact, the Void Wheel flashed and disappeared, almost at the same time appearing behind him. The Golden-Robed Man’s back was cut open again with a wound more than thirty centimeters long.

He didn’t have any change in expression. Something similar to plant roots grew out of the wound on his back, allowing the wound to heal.

The Void Wheel rushed down from above again, and the Crimson Blood Demon Blade in the Golden-Robed Man’s hand flew out, flying around his body, forming a wall of sword shadows.

But the next second, the Void Wheel passed through space, crossed the sword shadow, and penetrated the Golden-Robed Man’s stomach, tearing open a bigger hole. The wound almost divided his body into two parts.

But the result was still the same as before, tentacles appeared on his body, allowing the wound to heal.

“Let’s see if your body recovers more times, or my True Energy is thicker.” Zhou An exclaimed at this guy’s perverted body, changed the magic, and let the Void Wheel turn into a double shadow to attack his face.

The Golden-Robed Man frowned, knowing the power of the Void Wheel, he didn’t dare to hide it anymore. A golden nine-story pagoda appeared on the top of his head, suspended above his head, and sprinkled golden Mystic Light, covering his body.

The Void Wheel hit the Mystic Light, like an ordinary knife and sword chopping on an iron wall, completely unable to shake it at all.

“Heavenly Authority Tower!” Zhou An was shocked. This thing is extremely famous in the cultivation world. It is the Righteous Oneness Sect Sect Leader’s Immortal Treasure, known as the number one defensive and trapping Immortal Treasure in the cultivation world.
