Chapter 215: The Cultists Fight and the Cult Leader Appears

Randeng was in the midst of endless dark clouds, holding an ancient black lamp in his hand. The lamp body was pitch black, and on the top of the lamp, a small green flame the size of a bean was lit, as if to bring a ray of light into the darkness.

"Is this the Five Elements Avenue? It should be the Five-Colored Deer, the mount of Hengming, that has arrived."

From time to time, Randeng would raise the Lingshu Palace Lantern and blew at the flame, creating gusts of black wind to make up for the endless black smoke. Feeling the terrifying power on the Five-Colored Deer that seemed to be able to decompose everything, Randeng immediately recognized what kind of power of the Great Dao this was.

Ran Deng said secretly: "The Five Elements Dao and Yin Yang Dao are the foundation of all Daos, evolving into myriad mysteries. They also have some restraining effect on my Nirvana Dao. It seems that I should leave first."

He had never thought of going against Hengming now. Even if he sent a message to Tianjun Island, he just wanted to make Suiren and the other two suffer a little to save Hengming's face.

Unexpectedly, just after he sent the message, Hengming sent someone over, which made Randeng want to leave.

Seeing that the Five-Colored Deer had stopped emitting the Five-Colored Immortal Lights, and seemed to be about to stop, Ran Deng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "If this Five-Colored Deer can continuously emit 120,000 Five-Colored Immortal Lights, I'm afraid my magical power will be difficult to resist."

This path of Nirvana seems marvelous, and can even adapt to all paths, until finally ignoring all paths. However, the path of Nirvana is not an invincible path. Even the path of strength cannot be said to be an invincible path, let alone the path of Nirvana.

Those who are in nirvana die in life, become nirvana in death, and finally regain life in nirvana. This is the principle of nirvana. Even Randak has to follow this supreme principle.

But the matter of life and death is so dangerous. It is easy to go from birth to death, but it is extremely difficult to comprehend the truth of extinction in death and finally return to life again. If you are not careful, it is easy to really die, and it is the kind of death that can never return again.

Because it has already been extinguished. Since it has already been extinguished, how can it possibly come back again?
The same is true for lighting a lamp.

The Five-Colored Deer was worried that Ran Deng would adapt to the Five Elements, and Ran Deng was also worried that the Five-Colored Deer would break his power of Nirvana.

This black smoke is not ordinary black smoke, but the magical power he has cultivated for many years: the eternal darkness. It is obtained by him going to the bottom of the dark abyss in the darkest place in the prehistoric world and meditating on the truth of extinction in seclusion for tens of thousands of years.

Although it is not as good as comprehending in death, it is safer. However, the path of nirvana is very special. If the magical power of nirvana is broken, it is possible that its master will fall into death and nirvana. This is also a great test for Ran Deng.

The Five-Colored Deer looked at the dark clouds and mist. These clouds and mist seemed to be able to be broken by waving hands, but they were extremely tough. If it broke up one, it would surely regenerate into another, just like the ubiquitous weeds, endless and ever-growing.

not to mention……

"Even if I don't take any action, Ran Deng seems to be gradually adapting to the Five Elements Dao?"

A divine light flashed in the eyes of the Five-Colored Deer, and it immediately saw the details of this group of clouds and mist. It turned out that these clouds and mists were constantly absorbing the Five Elements of Taoism emanating from his body, and finally gradually adapted to the changes between the Five Elements, and had a stronger resistance to his Five Elements magical powers.

The Five-Colored Deer frowned slightly and had to take out the Northern Xuanyuan Water-Controlling Flag and waved it gently. Then he saw countless water-colored true lights pouring out like a rushing torrent and roaring rivers. Wherever it passed, it swept away all kinds of bad luck and miasma, and finally pointed directly towards the group of dark clouds.

Ran Deng in the clouds and smoke secretly thought that things were not going well. The Path of Nirvana could adapt to all kinds of paths and eventually become immune to them, but it was extremely targeted.

For example, in the same Five Elements Avenue, Ran Deng might be able to become immune to the Five-Colored Deer's magical powers in the end, but if another cultivator who practices the Five Elements Avenue comes, then Ran Deng will have to adapt all over again. It is impossible for one person to adapt and everyone else to be immune.

Moreover, as long as the Five-Colored Deer arbitrarily changes one or two ways of operating its magical powers in the future, the effectiveness of Ran Deng's original immunity will be greatly reduced, or even close to zero. If the Five-Colored Deer's cultivation level improves, the original immunity will become directly invalid.

The same is true for Lingbao.

Randeng can adapt to the way of the Five-Colored Deer, but that does not mean he can adapt to the power of its spiritual treasure.

Looking at the overwhelming water-colored true light coming towards him, Ran Deng was helpless. The Lingshu Palace Lantern was used to maintain the eternal darkness, so he had to use another spiritual treasure to block it.

But a clear and bright fairy light appeared out of nowhere, and the space between the two seemed to be suddenly stretched a lot. The water-colored true light kept surging, but it was getting farther and farther away from the black cloud.

The Five-Colored Deer gave a light shout and threw out a faint blue water lotus immediately. The water lotus bloomed in the sky, and the elegant lotus fragrance floated out. Endless water vapor broke through the void and rushed out, like the Milky Way falling from the sky, or like water from the four seas pouring back. With the help of the water vapor, the water-colored true light immediately began to surge again. Even the strange space nearby could not bear the weight of the water light and collapsed one after another.

A ruler flew out from the void and jumped back into the black cloud like a young swallow returning to its nest. Apparently, it was the effect of this ruler that resisted the spread of the water-colored true light.

The Five-Colored Deer saw through it clearly. He saw that the ruler was three inches and six and a half centimeters long. It looked ordinary, but it could freely move through the void without anyone controlling it. It was obviously a space magic treasure, or at least a top-grade innate magic treasure.

The real name of this ruler is the measuring ruler.

"This Randeng is really rich." The Five-Colored Deer muttered, "First he had the Lingshu Palace Lantern, and then he had the Measuring Ruler. Each of them is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. The master only gave me one, which is the Cang Hai Ming Yue Pearl." With these two spiritual treasures on him, Randeng is really rich and can go anywhere.

Although they were feeling emotional, the men under the Five-Colored Deer were not slow in action. Upon seeing the measuring ruler being knocked away, they immediately controlled the Twelve-Rank Mysterious Water Blue Lotus to rush forward.

The water lotus in the sky was seen spinning around, and then it fell into the black smoke like a meteor. Seeing the water lotus coming at him with great momentum and the endless water light sweeping in the distance, Randeng in the black smoke was terrified, fearing that he would fall into death and annihilation. He quickly withdrew his magical powers, turned into a ray of golden light and soared into the sky, trying to escape.

But the Five-Colored Deer had been waiting for a long time, and with eternal life behind it, how could it not know that if the power of nirvana was broken, its master might fall into death and nirvana.

This is the opportunity it has been waiting for!
Seeing the golden light rising, the Five-Colored Deer recognized that it was the golden light that could fly across the earth, one of the Twelve Jade Purity Magical Powers. Its speed was comparable to the top speed magical powers in the ancient times, such as the Golden Crow Turning into a Rainbow and the Kunpeng Spreading Its Wings. So he immediately took action.

Suddenly, a dazzling pearl jumped out in front of the golden light and smashed towards Randeng's face fiercely. Randeng was caught off guard and was hit by the pearl when he looked up, leaving his nose and face swollen. Then he immediately used the measuring ruler to measure the heaven and earth and quickly left here.

The Five-Colored Deer reached out and recalled the Sea Moon Pearl, snorting coldly: "The Sea Moon Pearl contains the power of the two seas. Even if you are a Primordial Golden Immortal, you will be in pain for a hundred or eighty years if you are hit by it. It is enough for you to remember it for a long time!"

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun had opened his eyes since the Five-Colored Deer attacked Randeng, and watched the fight. Seeing that Randeng was defeated by the Five-Colored Deer and had to flee, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. Finally, seeing that the Five-Colored Deer was unreasonable and even beat Randeng black and blue after he escaped, he was immediately furious.

"You've already used some tricks to leave, which is considered as admitting defeat, but you're still so aggressive. It really makes me angry!"

Although Yuanshi Tianzun did not like Randeng's provocation and his final escape, he was the deputy leader of the Chan sect after all and represented the reputation of the Chan sect.

His disgrace means the disgrace of the Chan sect. If the Chan sect is disgraced, then he, the leader of the Chan sect, will naturally not escape the responsibility and will be disgraced as well. Yuanshi Tianzun cares a lot about his face, so how can he bear such a burden?

Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly: "You don't know when to stop. Well, I will teach you a lesson, a small punishment and a big warning."

Yuanshi Tianzun threw out the Sanbao Jade Ruyi in his arms. The Ruyi, which seemed to be made of mutton-fat white jade, turned in the sky and immediately disappeared into the void, shooting three brilliant rays of light towards the Five-Colored Deer on the shore of the East China Sea from afar.

These three divine lights represent happiness, wealth and longevity respectively, which are also the names of the three treasures in the Sanbao Jade Ruyi. The three treasures of happiness, wealth and longevity are the most precious treasures for practicing Taoism and none of them can be missing.

There is no need to say much about blessings. The lucky star is shining brightly, good fortune is coming, everything will be fine, and there are no taboos.

Lu means food, which has thousands of transformations. For jackals, tigers and leopards, it is flesh and blood; for deer, elephants, cows and horses, it is grass; and for cultivators, their food is spiritual energy. Those who eat spiritual energy are immortal, and they cannot practice without spiritual energy. Naturally, spiritual energy is the top priority.

And longevity means life span. Without life span, no matter how much of the first two you have, they are useless and are just making wedding clothes for others.

As for the three treasures of fortune, wealth and longevity, the Three Jade Ruyi can reward or punish, but the Five-Colored Deer has greatly lost face for the Chan Sect, so Yuanshi Tianzun naturally wants to punish it.

If hit by these three divine lights, the Five-Colored Deer would surely undergo the calamities of end of life, extinction of magic, and bad luck. It would have to watch helplessly as its flesh and blood decayed, its magic power vanished, and bad luck soared to the sky. For an immortal god, this was an extremely severe punishment.

Before the three divine lights flew out of Kunlun, an extremely huge bridge suddenly appeared in the distance and blocked the three divine lights.

The bridge is made of a strange stone material. No one knows how long it is and where it leads to. It is always in a position of transcendence, as if it will completely penetrate the wilderness and reach the other side in everyone's mind in the next moment.

It is the most precious treasure of Hengming’s testimony: the bridge to the other shore.

Heng Ming's voice with a smile came from the bridge: "Brother Yuanshi, why are you so angry? The Five-Colored Deer only wanted to protect my disciples, so it taught Randeng a lesson. It is understandable. It was Randeng who deliberately provoked us, which caused the disaster today. It's no wonder that the Five-Colored Deer is so aggressive."

Looking at the bridge to the other shore, Yuanshi Tianzun sat on the golden throne of Yuxu Palace with a slightly cold look in his eyes. He called back the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and held it in his hand. He said in a cold voice: "Brother Hengming, I wonder if you can go to Chaos with me once. We two brothers can fight each other and preserve our reputations."

Hearing what Yuanshi Tianzun said, Hengming, who was sitting in Yuhua Palace, would naturally not refuse. Since he became a saint, he has been sitting on Yingzhou Island for a long time. Although he would not feel bored, he had not fought for a long time, and there was always some desire in his heart.

When he first transformed and traveled around the ancient world, he had a small fight every three days and a big fight every five days. In the end, he even defeated three enemies by himself. Who would have thought that after that battle, he could only stay in the Taoist temple. After all, the saint's killing power was too great, and he could no longer attack without restraint like before.

Now that I have an opportunity, I am naturally very happy.
