Chapter 314: Chapter 227: The Book of the Earth Appears!_2

For a moment, the interior of Moyun Temple shimmered with multicolored spell lights. All cultivators displayed their prowess, almost simultaneously unleashing their attacks on Li Ping’an.

Among these cultivators, some had high cultivation levels and some low, such as Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen, Heavenly Mist Sect’s Leader Mo Liqi, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, and Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, who were all Terrestrial Immortals, their realms lower than Li Ping’an’s.

The rest, like Qingyun Sect’s Senior Brother Taishi Bao, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu, occupied the space between the Mysterious Heart Realm and the Guxuan Realm.

The remaining cultivators had cultivation levels around the Guxuan Realm.

The strengths of these cultivators varied greatly, but with so many attacking Li Ping’an at once, their sheer numbers turned into quality, and the spells they cast together generated an overwhelming force.

Facing such formidable strength, Li Ping’an panicked for a moment:

"Although I have the Great Sage Life-Protecting Talisman as my last resort, to activate it, I must be in a mortal peril. What if I’m killed before it’s activated?"

Facing such a dire situation, Li Ping’an immediately counterattacked with the Immortal Slaying Sword, but the opponents were too numerous, and their spells too powerful. Even with the Immortal Slaying Sword in hand, he struggled to defend himself!

"Wang Tianran, didn’t you promise that Li Ping’an would not die?"

This question was simultaneously asked by the Ghost Taoist and Night Traveler Muqiang Baoshan!

Wang Tianran responded to Night Traveler Muqiang Baoshan first:

"Li Ping’an will not die! Trust me! Do not act rashly!"

Wang Tianran, fearing that Night Traveler Muqiang Baoshan would intervene to aid Li Ping’an, promptly cast the same Immobilization Spell on him as he had used on Zixia.

Then he turned to the Ghost Taoist and commanded:

"Do not rush into action!"

"Impossible!"

In this perilous moment, the Ghost Taoist couldn’t heed Wang Tianran’s advice, and Wang Tianran had no way to control him.

"Mao Mountain’s Hundred Puppets..."

Just as the Ghost Taoist was about to explode, a voice, both extremely familiar and strange, suddenly echoed in his mind:

"Xiahou Yihua, you have quite the nerve, daring to wield weapons and firearms before me!"

"You? Who are you?"

The Ghost Taoist stopped casting spells and asked in shock:

"Who are you? How do you know my name?"

"Hahaha!"

The voice mocked before taunting again:

"Did you think you were the only one who has lived a long time? Don’t forget who it was that led you onto this path! Ah?"

"It was you!"

The Ghost Taoist finally realized who the speaker was:

"Undying Immortal Kumarajiva!"

The Ghost Taoist immediately searched for Undying Immortal Kumarajiva’s figure everywhere, but after looking around, he found no trace of him.

"Stop looking! You won’t find me!"

The voice of Undying Immortal Kumarajiva commanded from his left shoulder:

"Do not intervene in Li Ping’an’s matters! Otherwise, I will cripple you!"

"Hahaha!"

The Ghost Taoist laughed wildly in his mind:

"If it were fifty years ago, you could make such a bold statement, but now, do you think you can still cripple me? Hm?"

"I will handle Li Ping’an’s matter!"

Just as the Ghost Taoist finished speaking, the voice enigmatically said:

"All these years, haven’t you been constantly searching for that woman? If you dare help Li Ping’an, I will make sure you never find out where she is!"

"You..."

After hearing this, the Ghost Taoist hesitated between the hope of Mount Longhu and the woman he had tirelessly searched for over a hundred years.

Facing these choices, the Ghost Taoist ultimately hesitated.

He watched as Li Ping’an was about to be killed by all the cultivators together and finally said in resignation:

"Li Ping’an, I’m sorry, I’ve been looking for her for a hundred years, I can’t give up!"

"Hahaha! Wise of you!"

The voice of Undying Immortal Kumarajiva rang out in his mind once more:

"After the Heavenly Master completes the ritual, I will naturally tell you! But for now, you must behave, hahaha!"

"It seems I was indeed right!"

The Ghost Taoist said to Xie Wenren with certainty:

"He is indeed your disciple!"

"Relax, just watch the show!"

...

"Blessed Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, thought he could save Li Ping’an by muddling through, but Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect was too cunning, and now he was powerless to help!

......

"Master, with so many people attacking him, Li Ping’an won’t die, will he?"

Xie Wenren asked anxiously.

"No!"

The Sewn-In Kumo Kumarajiva said with squinted eyes:

"I won’t let him die, even if he does die! I can still bring him back to life!"

...

At this critical moment, just as all the spells were about to strike Li Ping’an’s body, Li Ping’an continuously prayed in his heart:

"Great Sage Lord, save me! You must save me! Otherwise, I am definitely doomed this time!"

Since Li Ping’an could not resist anyway, he simply put away the Immortal Slaying Sword and finally placed his hand on the Great Sage Life-Protecting Talisman, begging the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, to save him like always!

With a clang!

Just at the moment when all spells were about to hit Li Ping’an’s body, the Book of the Earth hidden in his chest suddenly flew out on its own, immediately emitting a great mysterious light, forming a formation that nobody present had ever seen!

This bizarre formation not only protected Li Ping’an’s life but also absorbed everyone’s attacks!

"Hmm?"

Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect, Taishi Bao, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, and Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, none of the sect leaders nor senior brother had ever seen such a formation, all were stunned.

"He still has tricks up his sleeve! Continue the fierce attack!"

Under the command of Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, the bewildered Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang of Hehuan Sect, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and other sect leaders immediately launched even more powerful spells at Li Ping’an!

With another clang!

The Book of the Earth in front of Li Ping’an simply enshrouded him, not only absorbing their spells but also conjuring a huge magical figure.

This magical figure was in the form of a Daoist, over fifty meters tall, holding a whisk in his left hand and a Seven-Star Sword in his right. After swiftly spinning around, it returned the absorbed spells back at those who had attacked Li Ping’an just as they were given.

"Not good!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and other sect leaders all shouted, immediately using spells to defend themselves.

Fortunately, since it was their own casted spells, they were quite easily able to defend themselves.

However, those cultivators with lower cultivation suffered, struck down and injured by their own spells, all of them falling to the ground and vomiting blood non-stop.

"What kind of Magical Treasure is this?"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, along with Head of Immeasurable Sect Taishu Yiqing, all were in complete amazement.

"What a treasure!"

The Ghost Taoist said in shock, looking at the book floating in front of Li Ping’an:

"This is not a treasure from Mount Longhu, and this magical figure doesn’t seem like any of the Heavenly Masters from Mount Longhu in previous generations either!"

"Li Ping’an, just how many secrets are hidden within you, my boy! You surprise me too much!"

"It looks like I can be at peace now!"

The Ghost Taoist exclaimed then immediately turned to Wang Tianran:

"So the young man knew all along!"

"Hahahaha!"

Wang Tianran turned his head and replied:

"Li Ping’an is hundreds of times stronger than you can imagine, I think even he himself doesn’t know it!"

"The reason I pushed him to this extent was to let him know he cannot escape his destiny!"

...

"Master! What kind of Magical Treasure is this?"
