My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1154: A plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain
Kunlun Mountain and Ling Mountain are not without defenses.

At the summit of Kunlun Mountain, the remaining disciples of the Chan Sect had already activated the "Nine Revolutions Immortal Locking Array." Nine cyan light pillars shot into the sky, intertwining to form a huge array barrier. The barrier was covered with Taoist runes and exuded the power to "isolate all things."

On Mount Ling, the Western Sect disciples who remained behind also activated the "Immaculate Lotus Platform Array." A ninth-grade virtual lotus platform floated in mid-air, surrounded by Buddhist light, forming a golden shield in an attempt to resist the attack from space.

But when the solar fire and graviton plasma collided with the array barrier, everyone realized that the defense was futile.

The Nine Revolutions Immortal Locking Formation of Kunlun Mountain was the first to be impacted—the pillar of true solar fire collided with the cyan barrier, the runes were instantly scorched black, and the barrier rippled violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

The disciples who stayed behind desperately channeled their spiritual power in an attempt to reinforce the barrier, but the True Sun Fire was a focused force of the sun, equivalent to the might of heaven and earth. It did not consume any magical power and its output was endless. Under the continuous bombardment of the beam of light, the cracks on the barrier spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Boom"

With a deafening roar, the barrier shattered completely, and the pillar of true solar fire crashed down on the summit of Kunlun Mountain as if it were nothing. Countless magnificent palaces were instantly engulfed by the flames, and the screams of the remaining disciples rose and fell amidst the firelight, creating a scene of utter carnage.

Immediately afterwards, the graviton plasma landed on the mountainside of Kunlun Mountain—at the moment the plasma exploded, a huge repulsive force spread out from the point of explosion, instantly flattening rocks and caves in its path, and even turning hard rock walls into powder.

But as soon as the repulsive force subsided, an even stronger gravitational force suddenly erupted, forcibly gathering the surrounding rubble and debris, forming a giant stone sphere with a diameter of a thousand feet in just a few breaths.

Under the immense force of gravity, the stone sphere was molded into a nearly perfect sphere, its surface as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been carefully polished.

The gravitational bomb struck the spatial gate of the Jade Void Palace. The massive gravitational tide destroyed the spatial barrier, and like a whale sucking water, it also pulled the Jade Void Palace, which was hidden in the secret space, out. Without the protection of the spatial barrier, this ancestral court of the Chan Sect was like a castle built of sand. In the blink of an eye, the golden bricks and jade tiles turned into fragments and were crushed into stone balls by the enormous gravity.

The magical treasures, rare and precious materials, scriptures of the Chan Sect, immortal beasts, and immortal herbs hidden in the palace all condensed into an indescribable, hard substance in the blink of an eye.

The situation at Mount Ling was no better. Although the golden shield of the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform Array could barely withstand the first wave of the Solar True Fire, it could not stop the ensuing gravitational plasma.

Gravity followed closely, uprooting the pagodas and temples of Mount Ling and converging them towards the center. The remaining disciples of the Western Sect attempted to resist with Buddhist light, but were forcibly pulled by the gravity, and many were swept into the pile of rubble and instantly crushed into mincemeat.

Even though several highly skilled Western Sect disciples attempted to escape, they were locked onto by the pillar of true solar fire and ultimately turned to ashes in the flames.

Wherever the sun shines, there is a cannon that focuses the beam of light from the sky, and even the most powerful magic cannot escape its reach.

In the short span of half an incense stick's time, the Kunlun Mountains, stretching for thousands of miles, were completely turned into scorched earth.

But something even more unexpected happened—after the Kunlun Mountains disappeared, the warm and humid air currents from the south, which had been blocked by the mountains, surged toward the barren lands to the west like wild horses.

Before long, the arid lands of the west were blessed with rain. The rain nourished the cracked earth, the withered vegetation was revitalized, and even the rivers that had been dry for years began to ripple again.

The local people of Xiniu Hezhou, including many believers of the Western religion, knelt in the rain, cheering and giving thanks for this "timely rain." They believed it was an auspicious sign, a result of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas protecting them and vanquishing evil spirits.

"Indeed, modern people are right. They blew up the Kunlun Mountains and the Himalayas, and the barren West is now a land of plenty!"

Wen Rui, far away in Liberty City, couldn't help but marvel at the images transmitted by the spy satellite.

A soft golden light suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, converging into a pillar of merit that flew towards Freedom City and eventually merged into Wen Rui's body. Wen Rui was slightly taken aback. He had clearly been committing murder and arson, so how did he end up with a golden belt?
Is God truly blind?

He then realized that his actions of destroying Kunlun Mountain and Ling Mountain had inadvertently improved the climate of Xiniu Hezhou, benefiting all living things in Xiniu Hezhou. From now on, the barren West, which had been barren since ancient times, was no longer barren.

Even the Heavenly Dao acknowledged this merit.

"Interesting, I didn't expect to have such a discovery."

Wen Rui's smile deepened. He raised his hand and activated the Three Realms Broadcasting System. The nanounits he had scattered into the mortal realm's air immediately formed countless miniature loudspeakers.

A mocking voice echoed throughout every corner of the Three Realms: "Buddha, you must have seen it too, right? If it weren't for you, you bald thief, and that old dog, Yuanshi Tianzun, building temples on Mount Ling and Kunlun to block the way and hinder climate projects, the mortals of Xiniu Hezhou would have long been living happily thanks to improved environments! Today, I destroyed Mount Ling and Mount Kunlun, but that's just acting on behalf of Heaven to remove obstacles for all living beings!"

Yuanshi Tianzun, who was flying towards Kunlun Mountain with his disciples, stared in disbelief as his home was raided. Upon hearing the broadcast, he trembled with rage, and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his hand shook violently, almost slipping from his grasp.

He gazed at the smoke and dust rising in the direction of Kunlun Mountain in the distance, his eyes bloodshot, even his saintly Dao heart was beginning to crumble.

Despite all his calculations, he never expected that Wen Rui, this monstrous talent, would be so audacious as to not obediently submit to execution but instead dare to demolish the Sage's home.

You shouldn't hit someone in the face, and even saints don't destroy each other's homes when they're fighting!

During the great war of the Investiture of the Gods, the Chan and Jie sects fought a bloody battle with countless casualties, but neither side claimed to have razed the other's Jade Void Palace or Biyou Palace to the ground.

If the sage has lost his place of practice, where will he set up an altar to preach, spread his teachings, and enlighten all beings in the future?
Are they supposed to just set up a stage on the roadside and do a roadshow?
Despite taking numerous precautions, Yuanshi Tianzun anticipated that Wen Rui might harm the disciples of the two sects and sever their lineage. However, he did not expect that Wen Rui would set his sights on his own Daoist temple, causing him to neglect his defenses and fail to leave behind sufficient magical treasures and disciples to protect it.

If he hadn't retained some reason, he would have already abandoned his disciples, stormed into Chaos City, and, before the two Western Saints could, tore Wen Rui to pieces, captured his soul, and tortured him with ghostly fire every day until the end of time.

“Master, our home is gone, we can’t go back… If your heart is not open to the Dao, then go with the two Western Saints to kill Wen Rui and vent this anger.”

Guang Chengzi looked at Yuanshi Tianzun's appearance and spoke cautiously.

"Shut up!"

Yuanshi Tianzun roared, then took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his anger: "This is a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain! He wants to provoke me, make me abandon you, and take the opportunity to slaughter the disciples of the Chan Sect and the Western Sect! If I go, I will fall into his trap, and even if we kill him, we will suffer more losses than gains!"

He knew very well that he couldn't act impulsively at this moment.

Although Kunlun Mountain was destroyed, the disciples are still alive. As long as the disciples are safe, there is still hope for the reconstruction of the Chan Sect. However, if he leaves, these disciples will be powerless to fight back against the encirclement and suppression of Wen Rui's army. At that time, the Chan Sect's lineage will be cut off, and even if he avenges Kunlun Mountain, it will be meaningless.

Thinking of this, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but feel a chill of fear. He thought to himself that the villain of the Jie Sect was too insidious. He seemed crazy but was actually hiding murderous intent. He almost fell into his trap.
