Chapter 1229: Chapter 408: Above the Ninth Heavenly Layer (Ten-Thousand-Word Chapter) (Part 4)

Yet at this moment, Sang Yan faces an opponent whose cultivation realm exceeds his own.

In the Confucian Sect, he has already become instantly sanctified.

In the Taoist Sect, he has already opened the fairy sect’s door.

In the Buddhist Sect, he has realized the Buddha Body Perfection.

The sword edge sliced through the halls made of Literary Ink, and the long rope regained freedom, immediately binding Sang Yan once again.

Both on the rope and the sword, a large amount of colorless and transparent Bright King’s furious fire emerged, extensively burning the remaining Literary Ink.

In desperation, Sang Yan still resisted, yet was dragged into the Void Gateway leading to Sumi by the long rope.

The only thought in this Great Ming elder’s mind right now is:

Chancellor Chen Yu and the others all judged incorrectly.

Sumi was far more powerful than they had anticipated.

But the problem is...

What have those monks been doing all along?!

With such abilities, how could they be defeated by Tang’s mortal realm destroying the Vajra Division?

The colorless sea of flames kept spreading in all directions, beginning to engulf the heavens and earth with a terrifying momentum.

The Great Ming cultivators guarding outside the Void Gateway hastily retreated.

At a relatively distant place.

The void slightly shook, then a glimmer of radiance flickered, gradually revealing a humanoid figure.

Upon inspection, the figure resembles a youth of seventeen or eighteen years, wearing a Taoist headscarf and robe, with his form being intangible.

His appearance was strikingly similar to that of Temple Master Mu Chunyang in his youth.

It was precisely his Nascent Soul Yang God.

On the surface of his body, the same colorless Bright King’s furious fire spread.

Mu Chunyang had lost his body and was able to mobilize only a small amount of True Martial Heavy Water at this time.

Fortunately, he had additional preparations; touching the sand, a vein of True Martial Heavy Water previously buried during danger surged forth to help him suppress the Bright King’s furious fire on his Nascent Soul Yang God.

To confront Sumi’s Jiamu Department and even more masters from Sumi, and likely to be pushed forward by the Neo-Confucian Great Scholars, Mu Chunyang naturally made additional preparations, though he had not expected such a result in the end from Sumi.

Compared to the Bright King’s furious fire of Jiemo Division Master Shelou and others, the fire entangled on him at this moment was more troublesome.

Even abundant veins of True Martial Heavy Water couldn’t extinguish it, barely managing to contain it.

Mu Chunyang’s expression was solemn yet calm.

His Nascent Soul Yang God sat cross-legged in the void.

Below, within the vein of True Martial Heavy Water, an already prepared false body emerged.

This false body involved multiple Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, meant as Mu Chunyang’s second physical body.

No need to possess others, he could regain a physical body.

The Mahayana Great Vehicle High Immortal of the Ninth Heavenly Layer Perfection realm, the Five Qi Towards Primordial elemental body was shattered, whether possession or condensing a false body as a substitute, his cultivation might fall, unable to revert to the previous state of Five Qi Towards Primordial, needing time to recover.

But Mu Chunyang’s situation was special compared to others.

He was born with the Creation Immortal Body.

At this moment, as the Nascent Soul Yang God descended into the false body below, regaining a physical body, during this process, the rolling Primordial Qi in the surrounding world merged into it.

For a moment, it was as if the creation of heaven and earth melted into one furnace.

Once Mu Chunyang’s Nascent Soul Spiritual Soul was completely unified with the new physical body, the Five Qi Towards Primordial elemental body reappeared.

However, for a considerable period thereafter, he couldn’t continue to cultivate utilizing the power of the Creation Immortal Body.

This True Martial Temple Master exhaled a long breath.

Yet his expression did not show any relief.

The Bright King’s furious fire still entangled him.

In his peak spiritual state, with the Five Qi Towards Primordial elemental body’s support, he could directly withstand the Bright King’s furious fire attacks from Jiemo Division Master Shelou and others.

But that Acala Vidya-raja Image, which was beyond the Ninth Heavenly Layer, was an exception.

Fortunately, temporarily aided by the vein of True Martial Heavy Water, he could still suppress it.

Mu Chunyang stood up, gazed far toward the direction of the Sumi Gateway.

The Bright King’s furious fire rampaged and swept.

But that Acala Vidya-raja Image, that Venerable who realized the Buddha Body’s Golden Body, did not pursue out from Sumi.

Did he go elsewhere, such as Guixu, to seek Lotus Division Master Zongjia?

Or was there another reason?

......

At the northwest frontier of the Great Ming Dynasty, Wenhua Qi soared to the sky, appearing non-vibrant but orderly and substantial.

Under the gathering of multiple Literary Ink, it continued to spread, eventually forming a winding and long Great Wall constructed from pen and ink.

Above the Ink and Brush Great Wall, Wenhua Qi soared to the heavens, seemingly isolating the heavens and earth.

Although the colorless transparent Bright King’s furious fire has not yet spread here, the Great Ming Dynasty has already begun to fully construct defenses against the northwest.

Originating from the Western Regions, the Bright King’s furious fire spread for thousands of miles, enduring and unending, burning incessantly.

The Great Ming Dynasty, having suffered a disastrous defeat in the Western Regions, was already powerless to counterattack.

Such a formidable lineup still resulted in a crushing defeat, regardless of how the Great Ming Dynasty shifts blame, the top figures of the court all harbor the same suspicion.

Inside Sumi, there might exist powers beyond their expectations.

Fortunately, after a period of unrest, everyone found that the enemy seemed not to have pursued out from Sumi, making a move upon the Ming Realm.

This allowed the monarch and ministers of the Great Ming to breathe a sigh of relief.

While continuing to remain vigilant toward the northwest, the Great Ming court continued its operations at high speed.

Though numerous messages related to Sumi remained ominous, Chen Chancellor’s fate, whether life or death, was already sealed.

Vice Minister Zhou Mingzhe took over his position, becoming the Grand Secretary.

The once resplendent Wu Party, thus declined, but fortunately, Chao Feng managed the situation so as not to completely fall into the abyss.

Yet, the stage of the Great Ming court would next be handed to Zhou Mingzhe, Xi Zhichang, and others of the Chu Party.

Zhou Mingzhe was not at ease either.

He considered plans after Chen Yu and the Wu Party’s failure and setbacks.

But the current losses were so severe, already affecting not only the Wu Party but the entirety of the Great Ming Dynasty.
