Before dealing with Mashan, Deng Chanyu was the protagonist. This target was clear, and it couldn't be escaped even by running.
Now to confront Jinfeng, the main force should be the immortals of the Chan School. This is a matter of the Chan School, and Ji Ziya is also here to find you. Deng Chanyu places herself at a level above the general public but below the enthusiastic crowd. I will intervene only when you can no longer win.
Five rode on clouds and arrived at the Golden Cock Ridge.
It's worth noting that Old Jiang finally learned to ride clouds. Previously, he could only pitifully study earth-tunneling, fire-tunneling. At a certain time, Deng Chanyu even thought that the old man could develop "molten" tunneling himself. Fortunately, Old Jiang finally became a god and shed his mortal body, allowing him to ride on clouds.
"Several brothers, that is the Golden Cock on the ridge over there!" Old Jiang fully utilized the characteristics of a guide party. He knew he couldn't help much in battle, so he helped you determine the target.
He naturally didn't know about the mysterious Yuan Feng Jiuzi from the primitive age. Not only him, but even Yang Jian in his original time and space couldn't recognize the blurred figure of Kong Xuan in the mirror that reveals demons; let alone Old Jiang.
His thoughts were simple. This place is called the Golden Cock Ridge. It's normal for a golden cock to appear now. As for Deng Chanyu asking him if the chicken was beautiful on the road, he was a bit behind in understanding the meaning. He initially responded that he couldn't tell.
Now he thought about it again and sighed deeply.
Deng Chanyu, such a great adept who has cultivated from an ordinary person to a Taiyi Golden Immortal over thirty years, surely didn't ask out of the blue. There must be a purpose and reason behind it; he had inadvertently missed an opportunity! He finally found the reason why he had achieved nothing in his forty years of cultivation. His ideological liberation wasn't thorough enough; there were too many mental constraints. When he goes back to serve as an official in heaven, he must break the mental shackles.
Deng Chanyu and Wenshuo don't need Old Jiang to identify them. The Jinfeng has never hidden its tracks; it's as obvious as can be. Even blind people can see it.
Spiritualists of lower levels would still need a few moves to assess each other's abilities, but at their level, a single glance can reveal many things.
Deng Chanyu was perplexed; it really was the Golden Phoenix.
At this moment, the Golden Phoenix had a touch of Yuan Feng's demeanor. It lay motionless on the Golden Cock Ridge like a mother hen.
The previous spiritual master Linbao and the true master Du_e were forced to take a detour precisely because they recognized the Golden Phoenix's unique qualities. Unfortunately, they were still unable to avoid it.
Huang Long's situation was purely unlucky. As a cultivator from the dragon race, you shouldn't have appeared in front of the Golden Phoenix. It was just a reflex action, and there's no need to worry about grabbing the wrong thing. If it went wrong, it would be like that; there's nothing you can do.
After seeing the true realm of the Golden Phoenix, Chijizi shook his head and sighed. His master was testing Ji Ziya, wasn't he? He was testing me, wasn't he?
"Esteemed junior brothers and sisters, facing such a formidable enemy, what strategies do you suggest?" he asked the few people beside him.
Deng Chanyu remained silent. The original body of the Phoenix is a colored phoenix, and the colored phoenix is the second in rank, so it is naturally suppressed by the larger Golden Phoenix. At this moment, just by seeing the Golden Phoenix, she felt discomfort in the Phoenix residing in Wudang Mountain, and many divine powers inherent to Phoenixes showed a downward trend in power.
The Golden Phoenix, who looked like an old hen, casually glanced at her. She lowered her gaze and made no response.
Zhihang said, "Let me try to persuade her to retreat."
This persuasion is a compound skill that combines the fusion of degree and transformation. The weak ones are directly transformed, and the stronger ones are exiled or expelled.
Chijizi was not optimistic about his action, but he did not interfere: "Junior brother, be careful."
Zhihang came to the front of the Jinfeng and showed a majestic appearance with a sacred figure. The vast and heavy Jingqing divine power was full of mercy: "Friend, I have something to say, please listen carefully."
He recognized the origin of the Golden Phoenix, and directly recited the "Dahobhi Sanskrit Sutra". There are many versions of the sutra. According to the division of Mahayana and Hinayana in later generations, at this time, Zhihang recited a sutra of Hinayana.
The sutra possesses the power to transcend time and space. The words are slowly layered together, forming a gigantic and ethereal altar.
Zhihang's appearance sits on the altar above the altar. Countless strands of celestial energy rain from the sky, turning into an ocean as they recite the sutra. They spread towards the opposite side.
The Golden Phoenix stood gracefully and solemnly, extending her neck and giving a clear crowing to the sky.
The Golden Phoenix does not possess the primordial sound of the great path, but as the eldest son of the Yuan Feng, in addition to her inherent auspiciousness of the Tao, being the first born, she inherits the most divine abilities from Yuan Feng. The second child is slightly less, and the third child is even more so.
The Golden Phoenix made a clear crowing sound, and Deng Chanyu felt that the music seed given to herself by Fuxi shook as one. In the entire primordial world, all objects that could make sounds within the range of G、B、D、C, such as clear springs and typhoons, stopped for a moment. The sound gathered in the Golden Phoenix, forming an endless sea of energy, and in less than three breaths, a large number of defective texts fell from it.
The power of the five sounds was consumed cleanly, but the missing characters of the sutra also lost their original meaning.
The Goddess of Mercy has the six-character Great Mantra, which gathers profound Buddhist meaning. The current Zhihang does not have such a thing, and the power of the sutra is insufficient. With just one move, he was defeated.
The Golden Phoenix used an elegant method, not using her own origin, but gathering the power of the five sounds of the heavens and earth. She broke through Zhihang's recitation like a feather breaking through a heavy weight, without using much of her own strength.
She tilted her head slightly and looked at Zhihang. Her eyes held only calmness and tranquility.
"Junior brother, let us help you!" Manjushri and Samantabhadra displayed the characteristics of the Chan School and immediately drew their swords to assist Zhihang after seeing him defeated.
Zhihang was a bit angry. "Are you helping me? This is like roasting me on a fire!"
Originally, he had lost the battle with one move, and that was that. He didn't care much about these empty titles. He would simply admit defeat and be done with it. Now that Manjushri and Samantabhadra rushed to help him, he couldn't retreat anymore.
Can Manjushri and Samantabhadra help? What help are they going to be?
During their peak, Manjushri and Samantabhadra were both Jinsha. Manjushri was a little higher, reaching the peak of Jinsha, while Pu Xian was a late-stage Jinsha. Now that they are rebuilding and using the Jingqing divine power given to them by the last moment of Yuchi Qing Sheng in order to upgrade from Zhenshen to Xianshen.
Next, they would open the three flowers and communicate the five elements, a meticulous job. With two weeks left, even at this point, there's not much room for speed. Without a hundred years of time, these two couldn't recover to their levels before Taiyin Star.
Two Xianshen cultivators; what could they possibly do to help Zhihang?
Not for the first time, I know about their "integrity". As a fellow cultivator of the same school for so many years, we have spent most of our time pulling each other's legs. If I were to get angry, I would have long since died from it.
Zhihang couldn't refuse and had to draw his treasure sword: "Quickly help me, two senior brothers!"
He stopped reciting the sutra and switched to using martial force, but his real intention was still just to get through the task. He guessed that the other two thought the same way.
Manjushri, Pu Xian, and Zhihang have a unique understanding. The three sages pose in a manner reminiscent of the three great masters surrounding Jingling Shengmu in the original time and space, but now they are attacking the target instead, which is the Golden Phoenix.
