1039: Chapter 362 Chanjie in Action!_2 1039: Chapter 362 Chanjie in Action!_2 The golden light barrier stopped expanding outward; so did the assembly of immortals on their clouds, all gazing towards Mo Linyuan’s palace at this moment.

The gigantic crow crawled out of the grand hall and laboriously flew to the top of the hall, lying down, the restored avian head focusing on Li Dazhi.

Standing proudly on the back of the bird head, Xihe’s figure was now very clear, every detail of her golden battle dress was vivid, as were her flowing fine hairs.

A continuous stream of figures rushed towards them.

The body of the giant crow began to expand incessantly; behind Xihe, several layers of Treasure Wheels emerged, casting a background of auspicious clouds;

She was as holy as a Heavenly Immortal;

The giant crow as hideous as a demon from the abyss;

Yet the two melded perfectly, causing no sense of abruptness.

The figure of the giant crow soon surpassed the grand hall, with the continuous stream of figures now numbering over a hundred thousand.

The golden light began to expand outward a second time.

Xuanyuan Huangdi wielded his sword a few times and found the golden light to be as stable and strange as before, beyond the comprehension of living beings’ power.

The immortals could only retreat further and turned their gaze to Li Ping’an.

As a near-Heavenly Emperor, he was a ‘Heavenly Dao expert.’

Li Ping’an did not disappoint the immortals, stating directly:

“There are only two ways to resolve the internal calamity of the Heavenly Dao.

“One is to cut off the source of incense and merit, which pass into the internal Heavenly Dao through Emperor Jun’s seal; the instigator of this is Calamity.

“The second is to find a way to defeat this giant crow.

“The base of the giant crow is Mo Linyuan, an old minister of the Ancient Heavenly Court; its composition is complex, being one of the creators of the internal Heavenly Dao as well as a slave to both the internal and external Heavenly Dao.

Previously, when the internal Heavenly Dao was dormant, its behavior aligned with the interests of the external Heavenly Dao, and it always saved rather than harmed people, leaving us no hostility towards it.

“Now spurred by incense and merit, Mo Linyuan’s stance has also changed.

“The composition of the internal Heavenly Dao is complex and has developed its own consciousness, mainly for three reasons.

“Emperor Jun used a grand formation to seal it; the internal Heavenly Dao absorbed the fragmented souls of numerous fallen masters of the Ancient Heavenly Court, developing two completely different ideologies inversely with the external Heavenly Dao.

“The internal Heavenly Dao advocates for extreme protection of heaven and earth, eradicating all creatures;

“The external Heavenly Dao advocates for a balance among heaven and earth, creatures, and The Great Dao, protecting the weak and suppressing the strong.

“Do you have any other questions?”

The immortals shook their heads simultaneously.

Yun Zhongzi’s eyes filled with gratification: “Ping’an truly knows much, already possessing some of the Heavenly Emperor’s demeanor.”

Li Dazhi hurriedly replied: “You flatter him, the child just likes to study.”

Immortal Yuding asked in a grave voice: “Where is the Calamity?”

Several Precept Teaching Immortals looked towards Guang Chengzi, who said gravely: “This matter is of great importance.

If Calamity can be found, he must be captured and interrogated.

His evil has become a deep sin for which he must be executed.”

Li Ping’an sighed inwardly.

The teaching of Chan finally showed a positive attitude.

Suddenly, the voice of Taoist Duobao came from aside: “Forget it, Calamity doesn’t dare to show his face now, the heavenly secrets are chaotic, and without the Sect Hierarch present, a high-level expert like him can easily hide himself, making it impossible for us to find him.”

The cosmos seemed to collapse backwards, as Taoist Duobao appeared like an old man in ancient clothes strolling leisurely from behind.

The Preceptors of Chan Teaching each gave a respectful bow, while Taoist Duobao cheerfully greeted his junior brothers.

Being early into the Taoist Sect does have its advantages.

“Big Senior Brother!”

Guilingling pouted and exclaimed: “I was almost ambushed by that old crow just now!”

Taoist Duobao chuckled and replied: “Isn’t that so, with your An’an by your side to protect you?

This Poor Daoist could see it all from outside the palace, hahaha!”

Guilingling blushed furiously and raised her Immortal Sword, ready to hit him.

Taoist Duobao calmly moved behind Li Ping’an, standing shoulder to shoulder with Li Dazhi.

Thus, on the cloud, there stood two slightly overweight Taoists.

Li Ping’an thought to himself: ‘If Maitreya comes along, we could play a game of match-3.’

At this moment, an anomaly occurred again within the golden light barrier.

The huge pines started to wither rapidly, the land beneath the golden radiance quickly turned charred black, the vitality of the earth ceased, and countless specks of light converged towards the giant crow, its body swelling once more.

Even the masters of the Chanjie Dual Sects felt a sense of oppression at this moment.

Guang Chengzi asked: “To defeat this giant crow, we must first deal with this golden light.

How can we break this light barrier?”

The immortals again turned their gaze towards Li Ping’an.

Li Ping’an asked: “How long would it take to cut off the incense and merit?”

“There’s no time.”

Taoist Duobao said slowly:

“Previously, This Poor Daoist led numerous junior brothers and sisters to explore outside heaven, and we overlooked at least several hundred hidden small worlds, which are the foundation of the Western Sect.

We usually search for small worlds guided by The Great Dao, but the traces of these hidden small worlds are hard to find.”

“Previously, This Poor Daoist toured around outside heaven and only discovered two or three hundred small worlds that were not hidden, but the incense and merit provided by them are not enough to support such a strong internal Heavenly Dao.”

“This old crow is now intent on causing trouble.

The fastest way to find those small worlds is to attack the spiritual mountain and capture the disciples of the Sect Hierarch of the Western Sect.”

Guang Chengzi sighed: “The Western Sect will have two saints in the future; indeed, it is not too good to offend them too harshly.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi frowned and said: “What if they have two saints?

Should we just sit idly by as they commit outrages?”

Guang Chengzi replied: “Not to sit idly, but to use appropriate means.”

“Gentlemen, gentlemen, don’t argue,” Li Dazhi quickly intervened between the master and his disciple, smiling, “With so many masters gathered here, are we unable to suppress a broken ancient Heavenly Dao?

Let us first try if we can directly defeat this crow, then discuss what to do next.”
