My filial piety will never change

Gongsun Ningyu felt her own cultivation level. "My strength hasn't changed, which means I failed the test. But Chen'er, you succeeded! But what do you mean by being used?"

Zhao Yuchen briefly explained, "It was Shanpi. He's the manipulator of all this, including the fragments of the map of the Buddha Realm that we obtained. It was all his doing! He started laying this plan after the death of the last Dao Spirit. He waited for endless years, even founding the Dao-Suppressing Alliance in Shangxuantian, all for the right chess piece to appear. I am the chess piece he chose..."

Gongsun Ningyu couldn't help but be shocked. "What is his origin? How could he be so powerful?"

"He is the messenger of the power of all evil..." Zhao Yuchen said, "Anyway, let's leave here first and meet up with Second Master and the others!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Yuchen once again mobilized his Dao Yun, and he and Gongsun Ningyu returned to the entrance of the central pagoda...

Chapter 37 The Conspiracy Emerges

The main gate of the central pagoda was open.

Looking from here, the space inside is more than ten times larger than it looks from the outside. There are many statues standing in it, and they are all statues of the first generation of Dao Ling.

The inner walls of the tower were also covered in strange runes. As the master and disciple tried to investigate, Shengying, Gu Lingling, Shen Suxin, Gui Yuzhen, and Shen Jing appeared one after another. With the exception of Shen Jing, the other four all looked disappointed.

After questioning, we learned that they all encountered the test of the Origin Avenue, but failed.

However, they were happy that Zhao Yuchen had comprehended the Great Dao of Origin.

Gu Lingling said: "If that's the case, should we leave here?"

Zhao Yuchen shook his head slightly, "You can leave, but there are still some troubles to be solved."

Rumble~

The whole earth began to shake.

Space began to expand rapidly, and the distance between each pagoda returned to its original length. The magic that had condensed the earth into an inch had likely been lifted. Looking inside the central pagoda, the statues within seemed to come alive, walking towards Zhao Yuchen. The powerful will they emanated was so overwhelming that the crowd could barely lift their heads.

Gongsun Ningyu was puzzled: "Chen'er, what on earth is going on?"

Zhao Yuchen said, "When I obtained the Origin Avenue, I became the guardian of this place. Now, I need to take their place. But this will only play into the trap set by the Panpi. I have to break through their blockade. And there is another enemy that you need to deal with."

"Who?"

"Daozu Hunling, he was used by Shangpi and followed us here to kill Junhong and Yachong."

As soon as he finished speaking, Daozu Hunling appeared in the sky. "Hahahaha... I'm not the one being used! You are! Although you have comprehended the Origin Dao, you are now restricted. I can deprive you of the Dao and escape from here. You are just a sacrifice! As for these women you brought with you, they are not worth mentioning."

In just a few words, he basically explained his general strategy.

With the help of the mysterious man, Zanpi, he gained the ability to deprive the Origin of the Great Dao. The price he paid was to follow Zanpi's plan.

This plan of Zanpi had been in the works for eons. Even Yae's acquisition of the map was his guidance. He also helped Bingying steal the map. Everything stemmed from his extensive planning.

The reason why he can do this is due to his ability to go to any time and space. Except for the Futu Realm where the Origin Avenue converges, everything else in the world at any time and space is within his observation range.

At this time, the statue was slowly approaching.

Zhao Yuchen's expression remained calm. He could sense the power contained within these statues; each one was as powerful as any he had ever seen. Even after these first-generation Dao Spirits fell, the will and strength they left behind remained immensely powerful.

"My beauties, leave the statue to me. You should be able to defeat that guy together."

After Zhao Yuchen finished speaking, he secretly cast the system ability "Absolute Defense" on them.

The current system capabilities have been integrated with his Yin-Yang Origin Avenue, and the effects it can produce are far greater than before, with almost no restrictions on duration and frequency.

Daozu Hunling sneered, his figure looming in mid-air. "If you fight me in person, perhaps I will be a little afraid, but for now, you'd better deal with these Dao Spirit statues. Unless you follow them into the pagoda and serve as a guardian, they will chase you until the end of time."

"You seem confident, but my wives are no pushovers either." Zhao Yuchen remained calm. "As for these statues, I have my own ways to deal with them, and I'm afraid it's unlikely that you'll find any bargains."

"Hahaha, kid, you're still too naive." Daozu Hunling laughed, "There are some things you just won't understand."

Zhao Yuchen didn't bother with any nonsense and began to mobilize the great Dao of Origin within his body. He could feel that these forces were closely connected to the entire Buddha Realm, as if his every move could affect the stability of this space.

He really wanted to deal with Hunling Daozu first, but the old man did have some tricks up his sleeve. If he got distracted, he might be suppressed by these statues. It would be better to leave him to Gongsun Ningyu and the others.

"I'm counting on you." Zhao Yuchen placed deep trust in them. The next battle would be a tough one for them.

Gongsun Ningyu and the others immediately dispersed according to Zhao Yuchen's instructions and surrounded Hunling Daozu.

They could hear from Zhao Yuchen's tone the dilemma he was facing. They had to buy him time so that he could break through the blockade of these statues.

"Ancestor Hunling, do you really think we are vulnerable?" Gongsun Ningyu said coldly. She had already condensed the powerful force of fire fist in her hand, ready to attack at any time.

"There is an insurmountable gap between Daozu and Tianzun, and you cannot easily desecrate them!"

Daozu Hunling shrugged him off. His figure suddenly vanished from the spot, and the next moment, he appeared above Gongsun Ningyu's head. His palm, with destructive force, pressed down Gongsun Ningyu through the air.

The entire space seemed to begin to distort.

However, at this moment, a brilliant flash of sword light passed by, and Shen Suxin's Jade Maiden Sword blocked Hunling Daozu's attack in time. Her sword skills were agile and swift, forming a perfect combination with Gongsun Ningyu's Fire Fist, forcing Hunling Daozu back.

"Humph! Courting death!"

Hunling Daozu roared angrily, and unparalleled Dao rhyme burst out from his body, directly knocking Shen Suxin and Gongsun Ningyu away.

But they had the "absolute defense" imposed by Zhao Yuchen and did not suffer any harm.

After a slight adjustment, he was full of fighting spirit again.

Meanwhile, Gui Yuzhen, Shengying, and Gu Lingling also attacked one after another. The five of them would sometimes gather together, sometimes disperse. Their coordination was flawless. Even when they were occasionally counterattacked by Hunling Daozu, they remained unscathed thanks to their superior defensive power.

Even if he grinds hard, he can grind Hunling Daozu to death.

The Dao Ancestor was extremely annoyed by the chaos, but he could do nothing about it.

Despite his immense power, he found himself unable to defeat the five powerful Tianzun Realm warriors in a short period of time. Their attacks were relentless, coordinated, and their defenses were incredibly strong, making it difficult for him to find a breakthrough.

The longer the time drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for him. He must resolve these troubles as soon as possible and then concentrate on dealing with Zhao Yuchen.

He gritted his teeth and decided to use the Dao Yun Absorption Secret Technique that the mysterious person had taught him. This was a forbidden technique that could forcibly absorb the Dao Yun power of others. He had intended to use it to absorb Zhao Yuchen, but now he had to use it in advance to absorb some impurities!

Daozu Hunling quickly formed seals with his hands in the air, and a strange wave emanated from his body. This wave quickly spread in all directions, enveloping the five women. They immediately felt their own Dao rhyme power begin to flow uncontrollably towards Daozu Hunling.

Chapter 38 Mother, I'm here to help you

Zhao Yuchen was dealing with the statue when he noticed something was amiss with Gongsun Ningyu. He casually unleashed a "Spiritual Light Forbidden Magic" attack, causing the Chaos Dao Ancestor's absorption technique to freeze. The women took the opportunity to escape the absorption range.

However, this secret technique was taught by Shapi, and even the "Spiritual Light Forbidden Magic" couldn't suppress it for long. After a few breaths, Hunling Daozu's absorption secret technique activated again, continuing to devour their Dao rhyme power.

Zhao Yuchen's eyes flashed, and he unleashed his ability to freeze time. But this time, Daozu Hunling seemed to be well prepared. His body only faltered slightly before returning to normal.

Other system capabilities did not seem to play much of a role on Hunling Daozu.

Zhao Yuchen realized that this must be a targeted measure based on his system's capabilities. Even if he gained the power of the Origin Great Dao, he couldn't completely restrain the Chaos Dao Ancestor. Unless he withdrew and fought with absolute strength. But he had to deal with the statue at the moment and had no time to split up.

Gongsun Ningyu looked at Zhao Yuchen with a firm gaze and said, "Chen'er, just focus on dealing with the statue. We have our own way to deal with him!"

"Okay!" All Zhao Yuchen could do now was give them absolute trust.

The only way to seize the initiative is to get rid of the statue as soon as possible.

Due to Zhao Yuchen's interference just now, Hunling Daozu's absorption process was not so smooth, and the repeated activations consumed a lot of his mental energy. If he was interrupted again in the future and his physical strength dropped further, there was a real possibility of a rollover.

He finally chose to stop absorbing and use the strategy of defeating them one by one.

So they fell into a tense battle again. But Hunling Daozu obviously used other means to make the Dao magic he could use more powerful.

Among all the team members, the only one who did not participate in the exhibition was Shen Jing.

Her eyes kept wandering between Zhao Yuchen and Gongsun Ningyu, and she kept sensing the changes in Dao Yun.

"Puff!" At this time, the voice with weaker cultivation was defeated first, and even the absolute defense was broken, and he fell from the air with blood spitting out of his mouth.

Then, Shen Suxin, Gongsun Ningyu, Gu Lingling, and Gui Yuzhen were defeated one by one.

It was obvious that Hunling Daozu had paid a huge price. The Dao rhyme in his body became extremely chaotic. If he fought for another half a minute, he would be in danger of being defeated.

Fortunately, he won! He planned to use the secret technique of absorption again to replenish his physical strength and concentrate on dealing with Zhao Yuchen.

Just as he was about to make a move, Shen Jing, who had been motionless, suddenly spoke: "Mother, let me lend you a hand!"

Her body began to emit a faint light, and a powerful force was brewing within her.

Gongsun Ningyu frowned slightly: "What are you going to do?"

Shen Jing smiled and said, "I'm doing what I should do. I was born from the origin, and I should return to the origin. Ever since I came to the Futu Realm, the origin of the Dao here has been pulling me. I think this should be where I belong. I am very happy to be able to spend this short life in this form. Mother, you became my mother because I was the first one to see you, but as the saying goes, all Dao fate has its cause and its effect. This power should belong to you."

She gently tapped her finger, and a mysterious and special Dao rhythm flowed into Gongsun Ningyu's body. "Accept it, mother. You will gain this original Dao rhythm. Although it cannot compare to the Dao you have comprehended, combined with your own strength, it will not be difficult to display a cultivation level that surpasses that of the Dao Ancestor."

Gongsun Ningyu could only feel the Dao rhyme within her body growing crazily... but she couldn't move for the time being. "Divine Crystal... what will become of you after this?"

Shen Jing said: "Return to my original appearance, mother don't worry, if there is a destiny, we will meet again."

Hunling Daozu also felt the power of the Divine Crystal, and his expression changed slightly. He knew that if the Divine Crystal successfully contributed its power, he would have another difficult opponent.

He immediately began to absorb it vigorously, intending to absorb this Dao rhyme.

But a talisman appeared in the air, and the Taoist rhyme of the Buddha world turned into lightning and struck the Taoist ancestor Hunling.

This talisman is the top-level item that Zhao Yuchen took out from the system store.

As mentioned earlier, after he obtained the power of the Origin Avenue, everything in the system store could be taken and used at any time.

If we don't use these trump cards now, when will we?

The Daozu's absorption was once again blocked, and he could only fight with his bare hands.

Either kill Shen Jing or kill Gongsun Ningyu!

Obviously, Gongsun Ningyu is the weakest, kill her first!

He gave up absorbing and went straight to Gongsun Ningyu.

However, the other four people burst out with a desperate posture. Although they were obviously seriously injured, they still burned their dantian and fought hard.

Hunling Daozu also fought with the four people as if he was fighting for his life.

But the physical strength and bodies of these four people obviously could not hold on, and they could only stay around Gongsun Ningyu and resist the damage from Hunling Daozu.

Hunling Daozu was not so stupid. When he could no longer be held back by them, he turned his full strength to attack the Divine Crystal. His attacks came at the Divine Crystal like a violent storm, and each blow carried devastating force.

Zhao Yuchen threw out a large bell, enveloping the divine crystal. Daozu Hunling's attack hit the bell, but it couldn't shake it at all.

He was startled at first, then attacked again, and finally, the bell shattered. He had another chance!

But this time another string of beads flew over and locked it, and tied it to the spire of the central pagoda.

He was going crazy. Why did Zhao Yuchen have so many top-level magic weapons! And each one was enough to resist Daozu!

The Dao Ancestor's body shook, shaking the beads away. But at this time, the Dao rhyme of the divine crystal had been injected into it, and the whole person turned into a seed and fell to the ground.

On the other hand, Gongsun Ningyu's momentum was rising steadily, and she seemed to be on the verge of surpassing the Taoist Ancestor.

Hunling Daozu roared angrily, and his figure turned into a stream of light again, launching a fierce attack on Gongsun Ningyu. Waves of power that could shatter the air and split the void flowed out from his fingertips, forming complex patterns.

These patterns intertwined in the air, forming a massive magic circle. A huge beam of light shot out from the magic circle, heading straight for Gongsun Ningyu.

Gongsun Ningyu slowly floated in the air, her body radiating an increasingly intense light. The Jade Mysterious Fire Fists in her hands turned from red to blue-white, and her aura rippled through the surrounding Dao rhymes.

A punch was thrown, and the blue and white fire fist collided head-on with the light column.

The entire battlefield fell into chaos, and the powerful power fluctuations shook the entire Buddha world.

The blood vessels in Daozu's body swelled and bulged, and his eyes gradually widened. This fiery power directly burned through the formation and spread to his arms...

He saw his own death...

Chapter 39: Ten or Eight Fat Babies

In fear, Hunling Daozu turned into a stream of light and quickly retreated tens of thousands of miles away.

His figure traced a long trajectory through the air. Although he had dodged the direct impact of Gongsun Ningyu's blue-white flaming fist with incredible speed, the raging flames still clung to his body like a maggot on his tarsal bones, constantly corroding his flesh.

His expression was extremely solemn. This blue-white flame was no small matter. It was released by Gongsun Ningyu using the divine crystal's original Dao rhyme. Its temperature was so high that it could incinerate everything. The only thing he could do was to mobilize his own Dao power and try to extinguish the flames. However, this undoubtedly consumed a great deal of his physical strength.

Gongsun Ningyu had just reached a new realm, her aura and strength surging. With a light tap of her jade foot on the air, she continued to charge towards Daozu Hunling. Her eyes flashed with cold light, clearly not intending to give Daozu Hunling any chance to breathe.

Hunling Daozu sighed inwardly, knowing that he had no choice but to fight.

He formed seals with his hands again, condensing a Dao rhyme formation that was completely different from the previous one. This formation was mainly defensive, trying to block Gongsun Ningyu's attack.

boom!

Gongsun Ningyu's blue-white flaming fist slammed directly into the magic circle, emitting a deafening roar. Under the impact of the flames, the magic circle actually began to crack.

Hunling Daozu's face changed. He had never expected Gongsun Ningyu's power to be so strong. He gritted his teeth and decided to fight.
