In the forest.
Two factions stood face to face.
The young man standing with a sword over his shoulder exuded a powerful aura, seemingly warning Chen Yun and others not to act rashly, or they would face his thunderous and torrential attack.
Chen Yun stood among the crowd and sensed the aura emanating from the young man with the sword, discovering that the other party should possess the strength of an upper-level mage, probably similar to Yin Wuji.
There is also a difference in strength among people of the same realm.
For example, Yin Wuji may not have a particularly high combat power in himself, but he has a thousand yin soldiers and generals. If there were a battle, the majority of people in the same realm would not be his match.
Similarly, if Chen Yun could bring his disciples and gods here now, he wouldn't dare to say that he is walking sideways, but at least he doesn't look down on anyone below the Supreme Master.
Regrettably, this is the Yuehua Lake Cave Heaven, where only one person can enter alone.
Therefore, Yin Wuji met the other party in such an environment, Chen Yun thought that from the aura the other party revealed, Yin Wuji was more than eight out of ten likely to be massacred.
He felt the other party as if they were a sword, a sharp sword, a sword that can pierce through anything unyielding!
"This guy isn't easy to provoke."
Chen Yun instinctively raised his guard.
Perhaps seeing their large number, followed by another female cultivator who also carried a treasured sword stepping forward and standing behind the previous youth, her whole body also emitted a similar aura.
Wu Kejiu, Kang Yuan, and Qin Ming exchanged a glance, and Kang Yuan and Qin Ming nodded in unison.
Shortly after, Wu Kejiu approached and bowed with a greeting: "Fellow cultivators, my party seeks some gold crystal dragon eyes. We hope for your convenience. We are willing to offer equivalent valuable items."
As Ding Xu, who urgently needs the gold crystal dragon eyes, also stepped forward to bow and say, "There are many gold crystal dragon eyes here. I only need a dozen or so, so please name your terms..."
Before he could finish, Chen Yun instinctively sensed a great horror.
As expected, the young man standing opposite, though seemingly doing nothing, suddenly silver light flashed in front of him.
No good, Ding Xu is in danger!
Chen Yun immediately reached out to pull him.
A chant of Buddhism was born from the void: "One Buddha Nalayana, to bring gods to the World of Sorrow, one country to become Bharata; take a human form; enlighten all beings, leading them out of suffering and death…"
The next moment, a burst of golden light appeared before his eyes.
That swift and fierce cold light was instantly blocked and dissipated by the golden light, as if it had never appeared before.
It turned out that Wu Kejiu had used the ultimate skill of the Buddhist sect to block the incredible one-sword attack from the young man opposite.
The young man from the other side looked at Wu Kejiu in some astonishment before finally speaking, "Oh, so you are a heretic from the Buddhist sect. I didn't expect you to have some cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Wu Kejiu was filled with anger and his hair stood on end, saying, "You call yourself a cultivator of the One Sword Art, and yet you dare to call me an evil demon outside the Buddhist teachings? I, Wu Kejiu, am the leader of the Five Buddha Sect in Mahayana Buddhism, also known as the Great Sage Original Nature Buddha Nalayana. I am the manifestation of the Supreme Old Lord. The fifth Buddha is also known as the Great Sage Loving and Healing Buddha Mani Guangfeng. I am the eighty-third manifestation of the Supreme Old Lord. What branch of your sword art are you from among the Three Sages, Three Realms, and Three Treasures Heavenly Masters?"
Mohist Buddhism is the White Camel Temple in the wuxia novel "Heaven and Earth Slaying Dragons" by Guo Jing.
This sect absorbs the beliefs of Judaism and Christianity to form its own faith.
It also incorporates many elements of the Zoroastrian religion.
After spreading to the East, it took on some Buddhist colors.
Zoroastrianism is also known as the fire worship, which is the Zoroastrianism of Kang Yuan.
When Wu Kejiu was cursed by Chen Yun as an evil demon outside the Buddhist teachings, he managed to keep his composure. After all, Chen Yun was a legitimate member of the Taoist tradition, and while Mohist Buddhism may have some disreputable connections, it was still not considered a legitimate branch of Taoism. Being cursed as an evil demon outside the Buddhist teachings was something Wu Kejiu had to accept.
And the sword cultivator in front of him clearly did not belong to any of the branches under the Three Sages, Three Realms, and Three Treasures Heavenly Masters. Could Wu Kejiu really take such air?
Chen Yun naturally understood this principle.
The Mohist Buddhism outside the Tang Dynasty may not be aware of this.
Within the Tang Dynasty, Mohist Buddhism worships the Five Buddhas, which are respectively the Great Sage Original Nature Buddha Nalayana, the Great Sage Transformative Buddha Suryajiusi, the Great Sage Compassionate and Healer Buddha Mani Guangfeng, the Great Sage Wise and Awakening Buddha Shakyamuni, and the Great Sage Lifesaver Buddha Yinshuhe.
Among the deities worshipped, the First Buddha, the Great Sage Original Nature Buddha Nalayana, is a prototype of Vishnu, one of the three main gods in Hinduism.
Later, when Mohist Buddhism spread to the Tang Dynasty, in order to please the local customs, it claimed that the Nalayana Buddha was the seventy-third manifestation of the Supreme Old Lord beyond the Seventy-Two Deities.
Although Mohist Buddhism claims that the Nalayana Buddha is the seventy-third manifestation of the Supreme Old Lord, it is actually reaching out to higher branches.
After all, each manifestation of the Supreme Old Lord holds a very high status.
For example, the third manifestation of the Supreme Old Lord is the great god Pangu, who created this world.
Therefore, the Supreme Old Lord was also known as the Supreme God Pangu or the Jade Supreme Original Nature Old Lord.
Similarly, the Great Sage Compassionate and Healer Buddha Mani Guangfeng also arbitrarily claimed a kinship by recognizing the Supreme Old Lord as the highest deity.
Although the Supreme Old Lord has eighty-one manifestations, folklore says that the Enlightened Protector of the North Pole's forty-second manifestation, Hongying Youshengzhengkong, is his eighty-second manifestation. Therefore, Mohist Buddhism dare not offend and can only say that the Great Sage Compassionate and Healer Buddha Mani Guangfeng is the eighthy-third manifestation of the Supreme Old Lord.
The young man, upon being cursed as an evil demon outside the Buddhist teachings, flew into a rage, saying, "My sword cultivation line is passed down from the disciple of Ge Xian Gong, the Fire Dragon Immortal. I respect the Pure Yang Ancestor as my master under the Pure Yang Immortal. How dare you say I am an evil demon outside the Buddhist teachings?"
In Taoism, there are three sword immortals, namely Guangchengzi, Xuanzhen God, and Lu Dongbin.
Xuanzhen God, also known as Hongying Youshengzhengkong, is the True Wudian Deity.
It is said that Guangchengzi and Xuanzhen God are both manifestations of the Supreme Old Lord, so most people dare not claim kinship with them.
Since the young man is a sword cultivator, he can only claim kinship with Lu Dongbin, the Sword Immortal.
This is not a problem.
It's not that there's nothing, it's just that Chen Yun is here!
When the young sword cultivator finished speaking, Wu Kejiu, Kang Yuan, and Qin Ming, and others, first stunned for a moment, and then all laughed loudly.
Chen Yun stood there, both laughing and crying.
The young man was confused by their laughter and gritted his teeth, asking, "What are you all laughing at?"
"Do you say that your family ancestor is Pure Yang Immortal?"
Wu Kejiu asked in a sinister tone.
The young man straightened his back, "That's right!"
Wu Kejiu pointed at Chen Yun, "Then do you know who he is?"
The young man only then noticed Chen Yun.
He looked at Chen Yun in confusion for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know."
Wu Kejiu coldly laughed, "You claim that Pure Yang Immortal is your sword cultivation ancestor, yet you don't even recognize his brother?"
"What?"
"He is the younger brother of the Pure Yang Ancestor?"
"Fake, right?"
A commotion erupted among the sword cultivators behind the young man.
Including the young woman as well, who looked at Chen Yun with an expression of disbelief.
The young man was a bit confused by what he was told, staring at Chen Yun for a whole half day, "He? The younger brother of Pure Yang Ancestor?"
Wu Kejiu spoke with a slight hint of sarcasm, "Yes, if you respect Pure Yang Immortal as your ancestor, then his younger brother can also be considered your ancestor. Why aren't you kneeling in worship when you see your ancestor?"
The young man's face turned beet red with embarrassment.
Their sword cultivation originally came from an accidental acquisition of "skill", which may have some connection with Lu Dongbin, but it is also just arbitrarily claiming kinship.
Now that he heard that Lu Dongbin's younger brother was here, he was naturally afraid of being exposed.
Moreover, even if he wasn't exposed, with both parties now wanting the gold crystal dragon eyes, if he were to recognize Chen Yun at this moment, would the young man and others still continue to seek out the gold crystal dragon eyes?
At that moment, the young man looked quite perplexed.
But he quickly came up with an idea, pretending to be very angry and saying, "You shameless rogue! Dare to impersonate the younger brother of my family's ancestor! You all should die! Today, I, Yuan Chu, will seek justice for my ancestor and kill all of you!"
With that, he shouted loudly, "Cloud Brother, I'll hold off these three superior wizards. Go and take out the traitor who impersonated the younger brother of our ancestor!"
The young woman immediately responded, "Yes, brother!"
Upon finishing, Yuan Chu's body erupted with a strong blade light, instantly transforming into a deluge of tiny "light blades" as long as the middle finger, sweeping down like a sudden rain upon Chen Yun, Wu Kejiu, and the others.
Qin Ming stepped forward calmly and sang, "As God said, let there be light!"
The next second, a huge beam of light rippled.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The continuous sword energy collided with the white light screen without end, producing ear-piercing explosion sounds.
However, to everyone's surprise, despite the explosion being so violent, not even a hint of air wave was leaked and swept away.
Just a glance from Chen Yun was enough to tell that the sword cultivator known as Yuan Chu had reached a masterful level of control over his power.
Similarly, he was also somewhat surprised by Qin Ming's power, as if it was not from himself, but rather borrowed from the divine.
Seeing his first attack not succeed, Yuan Chu directly pinched a hand seal, and the sword behind him "ding" flew out of its sheath.
The Cloud Brother and the other twenty or thirty sword cultivators were all like this, each one pinching a hand seal.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
More than ten swords all flew out of their sheaths and shot up into the sky.
Once these swords boiled up into the sky, there was a flash of white light, and each sword transformed into dozens or even hundreds of cold beams, all of which came crashing down from the sky like an endless rain of arrows!
Qin Ming continued to sing, "As God said, let there be light bodies in the sky!"
In an instant, the sky was illuminated by the sun and moon shining together, with countless stars scattered densely, transforming into a net of star constellations that descended to cover everyone.
Another series of explosions and roars echoed.
Wu Kejiu finally moved, "If there is a bright envoy who appears in the world to teach and enlighten all beings, allowing them to escape from suffering..."
He surged with intense fire light, transforming into two massive fire serpents, one on the left and one on the right, rushing fiercely towards the sword cultivators.
Kang Yuan was not to be outdone, "I have arranged all the land properly, even if it has no charm..."
The ground suddenly shook, and countless earth dragons emerged from the ground, sweeping towards Yuan Chu and the other sword cultivators.
The four superior wizards of high levels, as soon as they unleashed their moves, caused the sky to change colors and the sun and moon to dim.
Chen Yun stood there without moving.
Suddenly, he noticed that the Cloud Brother, Yun's disciple who was beside Yuan Chu, was nowhere to be seen during the battle.
A smile curled at the corners of Chen Yun's mouth, and then he stood there unmoving.
The next moment, a clanging sound of metal clashed above him, followed by a spray of sparks!
Soon, the shocked voice of Yun's disciple suddenly echoed from behind Chen Yun, "Immortal to weapons?"
Everyone engaged in battle hurriedly glanced over at Chen Yun.
Only to see Yun's disciple, without realizing it, holding the Azure Dragon in both hands and striking Chen Yun's head.
However, this seemingly unbreakable Azure Dragon blade, failed to cut a single strand of Chen Yun's hair!
What?
What kind of cultivation and physical body are you!
Wu Kejiu, Kang Yuan, Qin Ming, and a group of accompanying cultivators were all shocked.
Yuan Chu and the other twenty or thirty sword cultivators also drew in their breath. They knew that Cloud Brother had just broken through to the level of superior wizards, and as a sword cultivator, he was supposed to be invincible. Even if struck by such a blow, he should have been split in two instantly.
But now, Chen Yun is completely unharmed?
What kind of defense is this of yours!
