Accompanying the cloak of darkness with thunder and lightning, raindrops also hit the walls with a sound like ping-pong, causing slight pain in the skin.
Once the peach blossom forest was filled with hallucinogenic fog. At that time, the sky was peach-colored and so was the ground. Now, all that remains is fierce wind and torrential rain.
There is no science involved here; the process of water vapor condensing into droplets in the high atmosphere does not exist.
Inanimate objects gather around the dragonshaped human monster, attracting endless wind and rain.
This goes beyond the level of simple cultivation, representing a true journey on the Path of Storms and Rain, and having walked a significant distance along this path. The outward manifestation is fierce wind and torrential rain, with the actual inner essence being an early stage of Daoist insight.
Sages all possess profound insights into the Tao, but they are able to master them effortlessly. When they unleash their Taoist essence, it causes the Thirty-three heavens and the Eighteen layers of hell to change color. But when they withdraw their essence, they appear ordinary, without any trace of power.
The dragon-headed human monster lacks the ability to control its magic power effortlessly, and the more it operates, the more violent the wind and rain around it becomes.
Jingguang Xian, one of the attendants of the Seven Immortals, kept casting incantations to disperse the wind and rain on the monster's body. However, his Shangqing power all fell into an empty place, just when he began to react, the monster struck him with its hand, causing more wind and rain to gather.
Qiu Shou Xian held the great sword in one hand, while Ling Ya Xian wielded both the male and female sacred swords. Their attacks were fierce, but of the full tenfold power, most was neutralized by the wind and rain, leaving only one or two tenths to land on the monster.
Jingu Xian mounted his steed and chanted an unidentified incantation. He then pointed at the dragon-headed human monster in the distance with his finger, consecrating his sacred artifact. It was called the Golden Ring, Tight Ring, and Restraining Ring.
He tried to use the three spiritual rings to trap the dragon-headed monster, but it turned out to be even more powerful than imagined. With just a shake of its head, the sharp dragon horns flung away the Tight Ring, leaving one less ring and reducing its ability to restrain by a significant margin.
The dragon-headed human monster moved at an incredible speed, leaving a black shadow in its wake. It stood tall and looked down, its bird-like claws aiming at Jinggu Xian Ma Sui's chest to land a powerful blow. If this blow hit the mark, Jinggu Xian would either be killed or grievously injured.
Qiu Shou Xian, known for being able to swallow ten thousand celestial troops in one gulp, roared in anger and launched an attack from the side, intercepting Jinggu Xian Ma Sui in front of him. He grabbed his big knife with one hand on the handle and the other against the back, using it to stop the bird claw that fell onto its edge. A piercing screech resounded as he deflected it with sheer force, saving Jinggu Xian Ma Sui.
Deng Chan Yu stood on the outer circle, cheering them on: "All my fellow immortals, be careful! That is Ji Meng, one of the ten great ancient demon saint leaders!"
"Ji Meng, the Immortal Saint?" Wanyun Xian was startled: "Isn't he fallen? No, wait, where are you talking about Lv Yu?"
Deng Chan Yu spoke to the point: "If I'm not mistaken, Ji Meng was secretly controlled by Panhu through a worm curse, becoming an external incarnation of Panhu. This old ancestor never really retired but instead secretly changed his identity, taking advantage of the opportunity to accumulate heavenly favor. The worm scent on him bears a striking resemblance to Lvyu's, and if we capture him, we can definitely find out where Lvyu is!"
Bilu Xian is the same as the Vairocana Buddha of the future Western Teaching, which means "Great Brightness" and "Widely Illuminating Guardian."
At that moment, Bilu Xian held a sword in his hand, and the sword technique contained endless light. A golden flash cut through the dark sky as he sliced out several strokes in quick succession, forcing his way through Ji Meng's wind and rain to strike at Ji Meng's arm covered in ink-colored feathers with one slash.
A crisp "clink" sound echoed, as if the sword had struck something made of hard metal. Bilu Xian was greatly startled and then saw the feathers on Ji Meng's arm stand up one by one. From left to right, the feathers seemed like sharp blades, slicing towards his throat.
"Don't hurt my teacher brother!" Wanyun Xian summoned the Heavenly Origin Hammer and activated the divine power of the Greater Golden Immortal, striking with all his might. Finally, he pushed Ji Meng back two steps and saved Bilu Xian.
Deng Chan Yu provided field advice from a distance: "Use the piercing lock given to you by the Sage of Shangqing!"
It could be seen that Jingguang Xian, Bilu Xian, and Chang'er Dingguang Xian were wavering. This enemy was too strong; even with Wanyun Xian going up, he could only have a few rounds. If they went up, it would be a suicide mission.
Wanyun Xian was stubborn, more so than a stone: "It's not possible! The piercing lock was intended for us to capture Lvyu! All of you retreat and watch as I defeat this beast!"
It's not incorrect to say that Ji Meng is a beast of demon nature.
Currently, Ji Meng is controlled by Panhu's worm curse, making it difficult for him to fully unleash his power at the level of a quasi-saint. It's likely that he didn't fully recover from the injuries sustained during the war between demons and immortals, but as one of the top ten Great Demons in the race, Ji Meng's strength is beyond doubt.
Deng Chan Yu and Daji encountered the Ghostly Chariot in the PanGu world, who was also one of the ten great demon saints. However, the Ghostly Chariot had perished countless eons ago, leaving behind only a body. But this Ji Meng is still alive and well to this day.
Deng Chan Yu could sense that Ji Meng still harbored a deep hatred towards the Wandering Immortals, and his body appeared to be here battling the attendants of the Seven Immortals, but in reality, his mind was mostly stuck in the War between Demons and Immortals, or the worm cursed him with an endless simulation of the never-ending War between Demons and Immortals.
Ji Meng's full strength couldn't be unleashed, which was the advantage of the attendants of the Seven Immortals. They were like fighting against a mentally ill patient who is wandering in a dream-like state.
As the deity in charge of wind and rain, Ji Meng is a supreme being who has been to Zihao Palace and heard Daozhu's teachings. The first time he spoke, it was as if his foresight was insufficient, and he couldn't locate Zihao Palace. The second time, along with Bai Ze and Ying Zhaohou, these demon saints were brought to Zihao Palace by Di Jun. In the current world of Hundred Wonders, Ji Meng is a true master of great ability.
Wanyun Xian has a chivalrous spirit, which is highly valued by the Lord of the Heavens. He often receives guidance from the sages, and his cultivation is much higher than that of the other six immortals. However, facing Ji Meng, whose cultivation time is countless years longer than his own, he fell behind in less than ten moves.
"My senior brother, I will help you!" Qiu Shou Xian charged forward again with his big knife.
Ling Ya Xian, Bilu Xian, Jingguang Xian, Jinggu Xian, and even Chang'er Dingguang Xian, who was beginning to lose heart, all joined in to help.
Deng Chan Yu looked for a while and felt that the seven of them together might not be able to defeat Ji Meng.
Among the Seven Immortals, only Wanyun Xian has attained the Great Realm of Dao.
Qiu Shou Xian, Ling Ya Xian, and Jingguang Xian all possess the realm of Taiyi Jinxian. The other three are all Jinxians. Chang'er Dingguang Xian is the weakest, and according to his strength, it seems he is on par with Huang Long Zhenren.
Ji Meng's realm is much higher than theirs, he is undoubtedly a quasi-saint who has slain one body, that is to say, he is in a dreamlike state. Otherwise, he would have easily killed the attendants of the Seven Immortals.
The term "quasi-saint" did not exist before Hongjun's lecture at the Zihao Palace.
In the ancient era, all supreme beings were collectively referred to as Great Realm of Golden Dao. This signified that they had realized the Dao Fruits and found their own Dao paths. The remaining task was their own cultivation, starting from the Great Realm of Golden Dao and continuing all the way to the Great Realm of Mixed Elements and Golden Dao.
Hongjun Dao Ancestor realized the secret of cutting one's three bodies by using innate sacred treasures from the Jade Tablet of Creation. This is why he added the realm of quasi-saints between the Great Realm of Golden Dao and the Great Realm of Mixed Elements and Golden Dao.
