Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World-Chapter 1206 - 533: Arrow from Beyond, Shut the Door and Slay the Dog
Zheng Fa sat cross-legged on a rock, with blue smoke swirling in front of him. Within the mist, a figure also seated cross-legged gradually appeared.
When the smoke cleared, Zheng Fa gazed at the identical copy of himself before him, feeling somewhat satisfied.
The condensation of this third avatar went more smoothly than he had imagined, taking less than ten days.
The main reason was that he had a new group of followers.
Zheng Fa turned his head towards Leiyin Temple, feeling a bit emotional. His teachings at Leiyin Temple ultimately influenced some people.
Previously, he had no time to grasp this, but now he realized that among those followers, quite a few were secretly worshiping him at home.
The reason for saying "secretly" is because Leiyin Temple had issued a decree, declaring Zheng Fa’s new identity to be that of an outsider disguised as part of the Buddhist Sect, a demon causing chaos and ruining lives, and the kind of infamy where even his ancestral grave exploded at birth.
Yet, some people still secretly worshiped him at home.
These followers weren’t numerous among Leiyin Temple’s disciples, but for Zheng Fa, they were not few either. With the favorable climate of the West Continent and Leiyin Temple’s long-standing influence, the population was quite dense.
They greatly accelerated Zheng Fa’s process of condensing the third avatar.
Zheng Fa looked at the third avatar; this avatar’s power followed Zheng Fa’s own level, which was of an Independent Immortal. He thought for a moment and said to it: "Set out immediately, or else dreams may become too long. If that Jile Heavenly Maiden returns to Turquoise Pool, you might miss the opportunity."
"What if it’s truly a trap?"
"...Remember to die gloriously."
"..."
The third avatar said nothing more, stood up, walked to the door, then suddenly turned back and said, "I’m going to die, and you?"
Zheng Fa’s face was serious: "I have very important things to do."
"Heh."
Hearing the cold laughter the third avatar left behind, Zheng Fa shook his head and first distanced himself far from Turquoise Pool. Changing to another mountain cave to hide, he then pointed a finger, causing a light curtain to appear before him. He began to do what was most important now—watch streaming.
On the screen, the image was split in half, one part showing Haori Base and the other Xuanwei Sea.
At Haori Base, the Shenxiao Army controlled the Thick Earth Sky Formation, compiling the data from Xuanwei Sea and transmitting it to Zhang’s Comprehensive Records.
The Innate Eight Diagrams in Zhang’s hand spun rapidly, as if calculating something.
The disciples of the Jiushan Sect in the sea, under the assistance of Shuyu Dragon Lord, had already retreated, leaving the great array in an unattended state.
However, the detection function of the Thick Earth Magnetic Array had become semi-automatic, not even requiring manual operation, and the image of Xuanwei Sea before Zheng Fa was transmitted automatically by the array.
Several figures suddenly appeared in the image.
The Heaven-shaking Demon Emperor led the way, followed closely by the Cangming Dragon King, with the Peacock Emperor and the Jile Heavenly Maiden accompanying them.
In the distance, there were also people from the Supreme Dao.
... 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Rushing toward the East Continent, the Heaven-shaking Demon Emperor laughed loudly, "Old Peacock, you’re too cautious. What traps could the Jiushan Sect have? The Demon Emperor said, as long as we don’t approach Haori Mountain!"
The Peacock Emperor’s expression remained unchanged, speaking in a low voice, "Caution is paramount in everything; the Jiushan Sect retreated too fast."
The Cangming Dragon King laughed, "Lord Peacock is very right, but I have a word, the three of you are all Golden Immortals, not to mention that sword array couldn’t catch up with you, even if it could, the three of you wouldn’t be at risk of your lives!"
"No matter what schemes the Jiushan Sect has, in front of you three, they can only be in a sorry flight..."
"If you ask me, these Jiushan Sect people must be scared and have fled to the Underworld."
The Heaven-shaking Demon Emperor laughed heartily and said, "You’ve put it well! Peacock, you’re getting old and so is your courage!"
The Peacock Emperor coldly snorted without speaking, seemingly agreeing with such reasoning, as he also felt a bit uneasy inside, though he couldn’t quite think of anything from the Jiushan Sect that could threaten them—truth be told, he didn’t think much of the Jiushan Sect either.
The Jile Heavenly Maiden’s eyes turned with a charming demeanor, and she said with a smile, "Friend Peacock is also considering everyone’s safety; we are all of the World Honored One, who would be afraid? Why argue? Our enemy is the Jiushan Sect!"
The Peacock Emperor’s expression softened slightly.
The Heaven-shaking Demon Emperor chuckled again, "I know Peacock’s goodwill! But there are very few in the world who can kill me, no need to worry!"
The Jile Heavenly Maiden flattering continued, "I’ve long heard the World Honored One say that Heaven-shaking friend possesses immense strength, an immortal body of unparalleled defense, and I truly believe those words."
Being praised by the Jile Heavenly Maiden, the Heaven-shaking Demon Emperor became even more complacent, let out a hearty laugh, and rushed toward the East Continent’s coast.
...
At Haori Base.
Zhang waved her hand, and the Eight Diagrams flew out of the base, suspended high in the sky, looking like a target.
"Raise the bow!"
At her command, Yun Wujie raised the Sun-shooting Divine Bow, aiming at the Yin Yang Fish at the center of the Eight Diagrams.
It wasn’t just him; the eight hundred Sun-shooting Army also raised their own Sun-shooting Divine Bows, pointing distantly at the Eight Diagrams.
The Golden Sun Burning Heaven Array started functioning, lighting up the Haori Mountains as if igniting them.
"Release!"
The vibrating sounds of bowstrings boomed as hundreds of fiery red light arrows soared into the sky, merging into a thick, dazzling arrow at the location of the Eight Diagrams, rapidly shooting into the sky, leaving only a white arc behind in its wake.
...
The Jiushan Sect also evacuated the residents along Liang Province and other coastlines, and after a journey of more than ten days, human silhouettes finally appeared before the Heaven-shaking Demon Emperor.
"Oh? Cultivators?"
He was initially indifferent to ordinary people. On this expedition to the East Continent, they intended to retaliate against Zheng Fa, but for them, the value of ordinary people was negligible.
Their target was to find the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Simultaneously, they aimed to destroy the various Spirit Veins, spirit fields, and cities of the Jiushan Sect, to weaken the Jiushan Sect’s potential and shake its rule.
