Chapter 297 Immortal Lord's Methods, Making a Military Pledge
In the central square of the Taiyin Star Golden Toad Great Sage's Daoist Temple, immortals and gods lined up on both sides, while a young man sat at the head of the table.
The immortals on the left are led by Mo Linglong and Kong Xiang Zhenren, who are the chief steward and second steward of the Golden Toad Dojo, and lead the many immortals who have come to join them.
Kong Xiangzhen has remained unchanged for tens of thousands of years, with white hair and a youthful face, while Mo Linglong is no longer the same as before. She used to be a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, but now she has become a tall and slender sixteen-year-old girl.
More than a hundred years ago, Mo Linglong's personality changed drastically due to the legacy of the immortal Dao Fruit of the Jinshan Sect in her previous life. The Old Man of Thousand Machines spent a lot of effort to solve this problem. Although he saved Mo Linglong's life, his body was forever frozen at the age of twelve.
Mo Linglong thought her life would be like this forever, but things took a turn for the better after Su Ji brought his fellow villagers from the Milky Way World.
The Milky Way Great World is of a higher status, containing not only numerous celestial beings and gods, but also true great saints and even celestial venerables. Even in the Dharma-ending Age, it is still far superior to this small world.
The two immortal lords, one an old man named Sword Immortal Lord and the other a noblewoman named Algae Immortal Lord, led the cultivators from the Milky Way Great World who had come to join them, and were positioned on the right.
Mo Linglong's physical problems were solved by Zao Xianjun. After four years of growth, apart from still having silver hair, her development was no different from that of an ordinary 16-year-old girl.
Therefore, Mo Linglong no longer needed to force herself to hide the disadvantages of her small body with a cold and proud expression, nor did she need to intimidate people with the title of Golden Toad Great Sage. Instead, she gradually earned the respect of the gods and immortals from the bottom of her heart, and she also became the mediator between the visitors from the Milky Way and the local gods and immortals.
Ultimately, visitors from the Milky Way are outsiders, and even with great restraint, they will still have some conflicts with the local gods and spirits in terms of culture and customs.
Naturally, the visitors from the Milky Way all carried the titles of generals under the Nine Heavens Prime Minister, Po Ling Emperor, so the local immortals and gods did not act excessively. In addition, Mo Linglong acted as an intermediary and never bothered Su Ji.
The square was filled with immortals and gods, but the young man sitting at the head of the table was only at the level of a military general. However, neither the local immortals and gods nor the visitors from the galaxy dared to show the slightest disrespect.
"Great Sage Su, the Rakshasa demons have come out in full force. Should we head to their likely route and ambush them?"
The one speaking was Sword Immortal Lord. He had a sword strapped diagonally to his back and a wine gourd hanging from his waist, looking like an elderly knight-errant who wandered the world.
"They'll plot something wicked later. We should preserve our strength as much as possible and avoid revealing too much of our forces..."
The speaker was Master Kong Xiang, who had cultivated the Taiyin Star for tens of thousands of years and dared to say that he was the person present who knew the Moon Queen the most.
"Everyone..."
Master Kong Xiang and Sword Immortal Lord held opposing opinions, so Mo Linglong compromised by saying:
"We cannot be rash, but we also cannot simply stand by and watch our attacks. It would be better to have Sword Immortal Lord lead some immortals and gods to set up an array around the dojo to meet the enemy, while Algae Immortal Lord stays here to provide support at any time..."
Sword Immortal Lord is strong and warlike, while Algae Immortal Lord is gentle and peaceful. Their different focuses make them a perfect match for offense and defense.
Seeing that most of the immortals and gods below approved of Mo Linglong's plan, Su Ji nodded and said:
"If no one objects further, then we shall do as the Grand Steward has said..."
It has been thirty-five years since Su Ji awakened his innate wisdom.
Logically speaking, his true body should have been old and even decayed long ago. In reality, every "seed" chosen by the Celestial Venerable of the Great Galaxy World will have their physical body frozen after their soul leaves the body. Once they achieve something and return to the Great Galaxy World, they can retrieve the physical body that best suits their soul.
Over the years, Su Ji has achieved considerable success in the realms of Dongxuan, Dongshen, and Dongzhen. In the path of the God of Strength, his physical body, the Golden Toad, has reached the pinnacle of divine weaponry. For this physical body, the only path left is "physical sainthood".
"Gentlemen, follow me into battle!"
After taking a step, the Sword Immortal Lord exuded an incomparably sharp aura. The jade stones on the sword sheath flew out streaks of white light, forming an extremely complex sword formation behind him.
Upon seeing this, Immortal Lord Algae smiled:
"The old sword immortal was a Qi cultivator from the pre-Qin period. He not only gained the reputation of being invincible in attack through the way of the sword, but also possessed the defense of an invincible god-king through the combination of magic treasures and formations. He could even fight against the avatars of ordinary heavenly generals!" The heavenly generals that Immortal Lord Zao mentioned were not ordinary heavenly soldiers and generals, but mid-level heavenly gods at the level of emperors in this world. The avatars of such beings were at most at the level of great power, and were not invincible.
"With the invincible Sword Immortal Lord making a move, the Rakshasa Demon is likely to suffer a great loss!"
Mo Linglong was full of confidence, not only because she recognized the strength of the Sword Immortal Lord, but also because she knew the true nature of the Rakshasa Ghost.
If the Rakshasa God Lord reaches a certain level, although he can merge with the heaven and earth of the Taiyin Star and become a great power, he will still need time to defeat the earth gods and even the heavenly spirits.
Not to mention, among the nearly fifteen Rakshasa God Lords, twelve newly born Rakshasa do not possess the cultivation level of the Dao Integration Realm, and it is impossible for them to completely suppress the Daoist Temple.
However, Su Ji suddenly looked into the distance, a look of surprise on his face:
"Why has another large group of Rakshasa demons arrived? Could it be that the Rakshasa demons scattered throughout the mortal realm have been summoned back by the Moon Goddess?"
When the moon is dark, the balance of Yin and Yang is disrupted. In order not to offend any forces, the moon sends a large number of Rakshasa demons to all parts of the Central Plains to participate in maintaining the balance of Yin and Yang in various places.
Now that the world is out of balance, the Undying Demon Lord has been born. After achieving her goal, the Moon Queen quietly summoned a large number of Rakshasa demons back to the Moon Star.
As soon as the Rakshasa demons emerged from the void passage, a portion of them rushed out of the Toad Palace and charged towards where Su Ji was.
"After the month, they didn't forget the whole act, sending the Jade Rabbit God to lead the immortals and gods in pursuit. Perhaps some people who don't know the truth will actually believe it!"
More than two thousand Rakshasa ghosts returned to Taiyin Star, while nearly a thousand "defected." Among them, those at the level of Divine Lords far exceeded the proportion, which greatly increased the pressure on the temple.
Fortunately, Su Ji saw the opportunity and forcibly recalled the Rakshasa Ghost a month later. Although the plan succeeded, it also created a time gap.
As long as we can kill as many enemy soldiers as possible before the second wave of Rakshasa demons arrives, the pressure we will ultimately face will not be so great.
Therefore, Su Ji immediately gave the order:
"Immortal Algae, I now bestow upon you a [Golden Nature] toad for protection. Are you confident that this will delay the second batch of Rakshasa for a hundred breaths?"
As they spoke, the golden toad clone in front of him stepped out and came to stand before Immortal Algae.
Immortal Lord Zao's expression remained calm, and he spoke in a gentle tone:
"If protected by the Golden Toad with its invincible divine lord-level physical body, I can use the power of the Heavenly Rank spiritual treasure I brought from the Milky Way Great World to at least hold off the second batch of Rakshasa ghosts for 120 breaths."
A Heavenly Rank Spiritual Treasure is at the level of the Devouring Sea Pearl. If it were to encounter a powerful being, it might still be defeated. However, the opponent was just a group of Rakshasa ghosts with at most the combat power of a Divine Lord.
"Then I'll leave it to Immortal Lord Algae!"
Su Ji clasped his hands in greeting, not only because the other party was a senior from the Milky Way Great World, but also because this order had put Immortal Algae in considerable danger.
After all, the Moon Queen has more than just the Rakshasa Ghost Clan under her command; there are also many powerful figures eyeing her covetously. You have treasures, but other powerful figures also have treasures... Once Immortal Lord Algae leaves the dojo, he won't feel as safe anymore.
"Great Sage Su, you are too kind. My only weakness is my lack of defense. With the [Golden Nature] Toad protecting me, even if multiple powerful beings send out their clones, they might not be able to stop me!"
The reason why Immortal Soaring Immortal was chosen by the Celestial Venerable of the Milky Way Great World to come to this realm as a seed for immortal cultivation to continue her path is because she possesses talent, wisdom, and combat prowess—all indispensable. Helping Mo Linglong's physical body regain its vitality is merely a minor matter; now is the time to truly demonstrate her abilities. (End of Chapter)
