Chapter 538: The Mountain Seal to Calm the Heaven and Earth

"Well, come closer and listen."

Lu Ya spoke in a wonderful way, explaining everything clearly. Seeing Zhang Wuji nod in agreement, he continued, "This list is magical, and it is also the fundamental magical tool of your uncles."

"We are not originally from this world, we have no roots and no foundation. Our true spirits are all placed on this map. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are instrument spirits."

"Although we have made great progress in our cultivation, there are so many immortals in the heavens. Your uncles have only cultivated for a few decades, and they can compete with the immortals. It is not easy. Once the immortals come to earth, we can only delay, but it is difficult to win."

"It is because the heavens are endless, and they can drag us to death," Lu Ya said, "It is different with this divine object. When we gather the power of the mortal world and open the List of Conferred Gods, we can call upon the marks of our true spirits in the list and reveal our true forms."

"Use this map to seal the passage between the heaven and the human world, and cut off the source of troops for the heavenly world. From now on, it will be up to you, the hundreds of uncles."

"But the person who holds the list is extremely dangerous. Once it is opened, there will be no rebirth and the true soul will perish. Throughout the world, there are only two people who can hold this list."

Zhang Wuji raised his head and looked to one side, where there was a person sitting cross-legged. It was Wang Yansheng.

"Uncle Master, I am willing to be the one who holds the list. The power of the Ming Dynasty is a hundred times greater than that of our Great Jing. If it were not for the help of Yansheng from the righteous way, we would have been crushed by the Ming Dynasty long ago."

Wang Yansheng said, "According to this statement, I should hold the list, stay in Daming, leave Daming, and rule the world."

Zhang Wuji refused, and the two began arguing. Lu Ya watched calmly and let them argue. Only after the two had argued it out did he point out the List of the Gods.

"But there is one more thing. Seventy percent of the fate of the world lies in people, while thirty percent lies in the righteous path. Seventy percent is divided among the people of the world, while thirty percent is occupied by several sects in the righteous path. If we want to implement this plan, we need to make a deduction and invite them to join the game."

The Conferred God List flipped over, and a surge of sword intent flowed out. Lu Ya said, "This list is for conferring gods, but it is actually a sword formation for killing immortals. It contains mysteries that can absorb qi into the diagram. When the time comes, you two will fight, neither of you is allowed to win nor lose. Hold out for a few rounds, and let the righteous be willing to absorb qi into the formation diagram. When the qi is gathered, the grand plan will be accomplished."

"When Yunchao is born, the world will be settled, the heaven will be overturned, and the difficulties of the immortals will be solved."

Everything that happened that day, the conversation was still ringing in his ears, but Zhang Wuji felt it was far away, blurry and unclear. He saw his uncles displaying their divine powers, saw the Investiture of the Gods rising into the sky and controlling the hole in the sky, and also saw Wang Yansheng staring at him blankly.

"So, this is death? That's interesting."

The dots of light faded away, and Zhang Wuji felt weaker and weaker. His consciousness seemed to be sinking, sinking to the lowest point little by little, and his thoughts began to dissipate.

It was as if he had reached a critical point. He felt drowsy and wanted to fall into a long sleep, but he felt someone supporting his shoulders. He suddenly became clear-headed and his consciousness revived.

"Lu Ya, you are such an adult, yet you still joke with a youngster like this."

A familiar voice sounded, and Zhang Wuji looked behind him in confusion, and saw a Taoist in a green robe standing there, with his hand gently pressing on his shoulder.

Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly: "Why, you don't recognize me?"

Zhang Wuji pursed his lips and said in a trembling voice, "Sir..." Gu Qingyuan straightened his body and tidied up his messy clothes. Looking at the miserable wounds on Zhang Wuji's body, his thoughts turned, as if time had gone back, the wound skipped the healing and growth, and was wiped out in an instant.

"You should have experienced the feeling of death. Don't do such stupid things next time."

He said softly that Gu Qingyuan had not expected Zhang Wuji to grow up to have such a character. He was not only an idealist, but also an experientialist. This was probably related to the inhuman nature of the demonic energy.

Seeing Zhang Wuji was a little stunned, Gu Qingyuan smiled and said, "Your uncle Lu Ya lied to you. Even if you don't activate the Investiture of the Gods, it will open automatically when the time comes. After all, the destiny of the mortal world is in my hands. As for the life-and-death crisis, it's just a joke."

A series of long laughs rang out in the air. Lu Ya was so happy that he could not speak. He used the move of Jiang Huiyue to force him to retreat and looked at Zhang Wuji: "Nephew Wuji, this death feels good. Don't blame your uncle for lying to you. You have an extraordinary nature. If you don't want to die, you really can't die. You have to really want to die in order to reflect your own body. I, your uncle, can only lend a hand to you so that you can get what you want!"

Seeing Zhang Wuji stunned by the fright, Gu Qingyuan frowned. What Lu Ya said was not wrong, it was just that the cause and effect were switched. He wanted to have fun first, and then took a series of actions. Fun was the source of Lu Ya's motivation.

Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, just look at his flying consciousness, his endless laughter, and the words he spread everywhere.

'He believed it, he believed it, hahahaha, I said he would definitely believe it, but you still don't admit it, you lose this round, give me the money quickly!'

Not only did they cheat people, but they also started a gambling game. No one knew who this evil taste came from. Gu Qingyuan said he didn't know, and as another winner besides Lu Ya, he was ready to collect the gambling money from each clone.

He looked at Wang Yansheng again, waved at him, and touched his head: "Your temperament is not suitable for participating in this game," and then returned to his state, "Just watch for now, after this is over, you will be free, and you don't have to force yourself to do something you don't like."

Gu Qingyuan threw off his Taoist robe and stood with his hands behind his back: "Everyone, the auspicious time has arrived, why don't you invite all the immortals to enter the list!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ya and the others each exerted their strength. Even though they could not defeat the immortal among them for the time being, they still killed many immortals whose cultivation was slightly inferior to theirs.

Gu Qingyuan stepped into the air with every step, and red lotuses appeared with every step. He looked up at the sky and said, "Fellow Daoist Jade Emperor, since you are here, why don't you show yourself?"

At once, thousands of golden lights descended from the northeast, and a golden dragon chariot came galloping over, with heavenly soldiers clearing the way and attendants following. The Jade Emperor sat upright on the dragon chariot, as if the sun was coming to court. Behind him, dozens of lights competed to shine. At that time, auspicious clouds were in the air, thousands of auspicious colors were in the air, rosy clouds were under the steps, and spiritual energy condensed. From the edge of the sky, a golden bridge ran through thousands of miles to open up a golden road to the sky.

The dragon chariot rolls across the Heavenly Road with boundless might, crushing everything. The immortals and saints bow their heads, and all spirits submit. This is the Lord of Heaven, the Jade Emperor!
As soon as the Jade Emperor showed up, the space barrier of the mortal world could no longer hold and slowly shattered. Gu Qingyuan stood opposite the Jade Emperor, without any miraculous look. If it weren't for the red lotus under his feet, he would have been mistaken for an ordinary man.

"The mortal world is weak and cannot withstand the harm of the immortals. Allow me to open up another battlefield."

Gu Qingyuan spoke and waved his hand. The Five Elements Mountain came into being. The earth, water, wind and fire moved together and slowly entangled each other. True fire rolled down from the sky and circled the Five Elements Mountain. The mountain became smaller. After completing the Nine Turns, it was already a fist-sized mountain seal.

He threw the mountain seal, and there were four big characters on the bottom of the seal, which were 'Mountains and Rivers that Stabilize the World'. The magic weapon was suspended in the air, and it stabilized the collapsing space. With another rotation, the cracks healed. Not only that, but layers of aura surged out, reinforcing the wall of the mortal world.

Gu Qingyuan saw that the time was almost right, so he made a casual stroke with his hand. A golden light flashed, and the mountain seal fell upside down. Then, a mountain range of tens of millions of feet long grew, widening for an unknown number of miles, towering into the sky, and its momentum was unmatched, like the backbone of the sky, or like the legendary Buzhou Mountain.

The next moment, the newly formed mountain range included everyone in it, and the entire battlefield moved with it. After the immortals were moved away, the mountain range collapsed and returned to its original shape as a seal, hanging upside down in the air.
