Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 78: 9 Difficulties
Zuwentang.
In the outside world, the sound of killings was loud, but in the Zuwen Hall, Tang Jie was leisurely reading through the ancient books of the Giant Spirit Clan.
The Giant Spirit tribe values martial arts over literature and does not like reading, so there are not many books, and most of them record history, and few biographical epics.
However, this was exactly what Tang Jie needed. What he wanted to know was the true history of the Giant Spirit Clan.
The war lasted for three days, and Tang Jie spent three days reading in Zuwen Hall.
In these three days, Tang Jie read the history of the Giant Spirit Clan and finally had a relatively comprehensive understanding of this race.
Even Tang Jie did not expect that the history of the Giant Spirit Clan had been so glorious.
This was a race that was once extremely powerful. In ancient times, everyone in the Giant Spirit Race was a transcendent being who could fight against heaven and earth. At that time, they not only possessed invincible physiques, but also possessed powerful supernatural powers. At that time, they were not restricted from leaving the Giant Spirit Realm. On the contrary, they walked everywhere in the Starfall Realm, conquered the starry sky, conquered the universe, and spread their majesty to every corner of the universe.
The giant spirits at that time were invincible!
But I don’t know when, everything started to change.
The continent of the giant spirit world began to shatter, the power of the giants also began to weaken, and the giant spirit clan began to weaken. Although the Djinni tried hard to change all this, it was all in vain. The glory of the giant is no longer there, and the glory of the giant is also submerged in the dust of time. To this day, even the once-prominent giant can only find traces of it by looking through history books.
The current giants may have long forgotten the power of their ancestors. Even the Giant Spirit King himself only knew that the Giants were once very powerful, but did not know that the Giants once ruled the universe.
Today, Tang Jie flipped through the last book on the history of the giant spirits, and all the history of the giant spirits formed a complete puzzle in his mind. It can be said that at this moment, he probably knows the Giant Spirit Clan better than the Giant Spirit Clan.
Closing the page of the book, Tang Jie tapped the desk thoughtfully, thinking about something.
At this moment, a voice came from outside: "World Master, I have something to report."
"Come in." Tang Jie replied in a calm voice.
A monk from Zifu has entered the hall.
Since Qixia Realm invaded the Giant Spirit Realm, Xiangkong Mountain has been open to Qixia monks. Now some Qixia monks who are responsible for communication can freely pass through Xiangkong Mountain.
The monk came to Tang Jie and knelt down, saying: "Regards to the Realm Lord, we won the first battle and killed 640,000 demons, including 500,000 low-level demons, 200,000 medium-level demons, and 4 high-level demons." More than ten thousand, and more than a thousand high-level demons and four demon leaders were killed. Our side lost 2,326 void shuttles, 7,400 heavy damage, and 46,000 light damage. Our side Six thousand four hundred monks were killed, eight of whom became middle and low-level disciples."
"Hmm." Tang Jie responded slowly: "You did a pretty good job."
Six thousand versus 740,000, this kind of battle loss ratio is hard to find anywhere in the Star Luo Thousand Realms that can match it. What's more, the number of cultivators in Qixia Realm has already exceeded one million, and more cultivators appear every year. The loss of more than 6,000 cultivators is completely within the tolerable range.
If there is any flaw, it is that among the 740,000 demons, there are too many low-level demons, and it is quite suspected that they are just making up the numbers. If we really count them, there are still more than 40,000 high-level demons and thousands of high-level demons. clan and the four demons are more valuable.
From this aspect, the other party did not exert its full strength.
"Did Nine Difficulties take action?" Tang Jie asked.
The monk shook his head: "No. Not only did he not take action, but even the several great demon lords under him did not take action. That's why we could win so easily. Of course, even if they take action, there are still realm lords left. Even with the trump card, I can’t get any benefits.”
This last sentence is a naked flattery.
Tang Jie didn't take it seriously, thought for a while and asked, "What's the situation now?"
"Returning to the Realm Master, the Sanshan Plain area has been recovered, echoing the Xiankong Mountain. Patriarch Yun led the repair army to personally station in the Sanshan Plain to establish a defense system, while Madam led the people to start building a magic circle to conduct evil energy and purify the earth. , guide the power of the eighth level of Pinghai to the giant spirit world."
"It's ridiculous to echo each other from a distance. It's obvious that we just grabbed an enclave, but it's still a wasteland that needs to invest a lot of resources to transform. It might even become a dead land. It's worth bragging about." Tang Jie rudely exposed the monk's embellishment. The words made the monk blush. Tang Jie already said: "Nine Dilemmas are very worried. He deliberately refused to take action and even tolerated us killing everyone in order to make room for us. This was to lure us into his trap... He wanted to devour us in one breath. ."
If the first battle is lost, Qixia Realm will probably not send all its troops to move into the Giant Spirit Realm. It is more likely that Qixia Realm will be the main town.
But since we won and secured a piece of land, we naturally had to move in, send troops, and even build fortresses and cities, purify the land, and reorganize resources.
The more effort you put into it, the harder it will be to leave it, and the easier it will be to swallow it in one go.
Tang Jie is such a person, he can see the crisis behind this victory at a glance.
But on the other hand, even if he sees it, he won't be able to give up... and then retreat after winning the battle? How to fight later?
So this is Jiu Di's conspiracy. Whether Tang Jie can see it or not, he has to exploit this trap.
The monk also smiled and said: "The Realm Master has a keen eye, how could the Nine Difficulties trick deceive the Realm Master. But then again, 740,000 demons were lost like this, just to lure me, Qixia, into the world. Hubby? Even if he has tens of millions of demons, and even if most of them are low-level demons, such a throwing method is too generous, right?"
Tang Jie always valued the wisdom of the masses, so most of his subordinates dared to say whatever they thought without worrying about saying the wrong thing.
As soon as the monk spoke, Tang Jie fell silent for a moment.
He thought for a moment and said: "This bait is indeed a bit big. Such a big gesture...Does he have any unknown power?"
"I think there is. But it's not surprising. Everyone has a trump card. As one of the nine great demons, the Nine Difficulties Demon Monk should have unified his demon area. To say that there are some hidden demon armies, when Not surprising." The monk said again.
It is difficult for the general Great Demon Lord to form an absolute unification of his own Demonic Area. For example, the Confused Demonic Area under the Original Desire Demon Lord has not formed a unified trend. Many forces still do their own thing. Etiquette is polite, as the saying goes, listen to the instructions but not the announcements, so you have to visit everyone one by one after the original desire is defeated, and even deliberately let some demon lords die. The root of this lies in this.
But the Demon Lord is different. The Demon Lord can be said to have complete control over the demon area under his jurisdiction. Any forces in his own demon area must absolutely obey the Demon Lord. If you can't do this, there is no need to pay tribute.
In this case, it is not surprising that in addition to the tens of millions of demons on this side, the Nine Difficulties Demon Monk also has some hidden forces.
After listening to the monk's words, Tang Jie nodded and said: "It is entirely possible. I would like to remind the Presbyterian Council to pay more attention to this and have more backup options for everything."
Environment determines mentality. The more resources you have, the more generous you will be in using them.
Whether it is intentional or unintentional, the Nine Difficulties Demon Monk’s actions mean that the power he controls is probably more than what he has already shown. This also gives Tang Jie and his subordinates the current power. A little reminder, folks.
However, it is difficult to predict how important this reminder is and what results it will bring.
It is difficult to make judgments about many things without sufficient information. Today's Tang Jie is no longer the Tang Jie of the past. It is impossible to hide in the dark and plot against others, but to stand in the open and be plotted against. Even if he is as wise as he is, it is impossible to analyze every possibility, so he will not think that the forces hidden in the dark may be equal to, or even stronger than, the forces on the surface.
All he can do now is bless everyone to be more vigilant.
Before more information comes out, he cannot do more because he is afraid to do anything because of the slightest doubt. This is not called caution, but timidity.
After explaining the matter, Tang Jie added: "By the way, I am a little interested in the Nine Difficulties Demon Monk. Go and collect some information about this person and give it to me."
The monk smiled and said: "We already have the information on the Nine Difficulties. Madam sent us to collect it and have brought it with us."
"Oh?" Tang Jie was very satisfied.
After following Tang Jie for these years, Xu Miaoran gradually became more and more flawless in his work. After knowing that his opponent this time was the Nine Difficulties, he began to collect information about the Nine Difficulties Monk. As a veteran demon and one of the Nine Demon Lords, the Nine Difficulties Monk's information is relatively complete.
This man was originally one of the monks in the Zhengjie Realm. He was a golden Arhat in the Xumitian World Group and the Great Buddha Kingdom of the West. The Xumitian World Group is located near the Giant Spirit Realm. It is the closest location to the Giant Spirit Realm and faces the prehistoric continent across the Giant Spirit Realm.
The Sumeru world group respects Buddha, so all Sumeru worlds believe in Buddha. The master of Xumitian, Buddha Xitian, is the supreme existence in this entire world group. His own cultivation level reaches heaven, and he has even reached the enlightenment level.
The Great Buddha Kingdom of the West is the largest of the Sumeru realms, also known as the Land of Ten Thousand Buddhas. It has hundreds of thousands of temples, tens of millions of monks, and countless monks who have achieved success in cultivation. The golden Arhat is one of the higher-level members, with a higher position than the Zi Mansion and strong authority.
The Nine Difficulties Demon Monk was originally an ordinary novice monk from the Qianbei Temple in the Great Buddha Kingdom of the West. He practiced martial arts every day and studied Zen at night. He was average in cultivation, but he was quite talented in Buddhism and Taoism. At the age of thirteen, he was separated from others. He never failed to give lectures on scriptures and discuss Dharma. At the age of sixteen, he even opened a forum to lecture on scriptures, attracting countless monks.
Buddhism is different. It not only talks about cultivation, but also Buddhism. Those who are proficient in Buddhism are often respected more than those who are powerful. Therefore, those who have reached heavenly cultivation can be called great powers, and those who have profound Buddhist knowledge can be called great virtues.
At that time, the Nine Difficulties Demon Monk showed the potential of a virtuous and eminent monk.
It was only when he was eighteen years old that he had an unexpected encounter. His cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. He soon entered the state of heavenly mind from a spiritual master, and continued to make leaps. On the year of his 200th birthday, , the official achievement of Zifu was faster than Tang Jie.
Three years later ~ IndoMTL.com ~ A sudden murder occurred in Mahayana Prefecture where Qianbei Temple is located. More than 300 people in a small village were killed, and the whole village suffered a bloodbath. At this time, Qianbei Temple was shocked and experts were sent to investigate. However, during the course of the investigation, several similar incidents occurred, and even the monks involved in the investigation suffered heavy casualties.
This incident alarmed the Buddhist kingdom and even attracted a Bodhisattva who had left the body.
After careful investigation, it was discovered that the murderer turned out to be Jiu Nan.
It was at that time that Nine Difficulties suddenly attacked, showing strength beyond that of a newly promoted Zifu. Even the Bodhisattva whose cultivation level was two levels higher than him was seriously injured by being caught off guard. Fortunately, a Ming King broke through and rescued him, but the Nine Difficulties Monk took the opportunity to escape.
Since then, the Nine Difficulties have never been seen again in the Great Buddha Kingdom of the West.
It was not until a thousand years later, when the Hongmeng Tribulation came, that someone saw the Nine Difficulties in the Hongmeng Demon Clan legion.
At that time, he was just a high-level demon, commanding an army and fighting on the battlefield.
