Chapter 178 Maitreya Lures the Golden Crow Out

But since Yuanshi Tianzun had spoken, Guangchengzi had no choice but to obey and watch attentively from the side.

When the leader of the Chan sect refines weapons, there is naturally no need to distinguish between gentle fire and martial fire. He can simply create a tiny piece of chaos and directly refine these materials into the chaos. With the help of the evolution of chaos, these materials can be transformed into tools that suit his wishes.

However, Guangchengzi was not familiar with refining equipment and could not understand this method, so Yuanshi Tianzun started with the simplest method of furnace refining.

The sage’s teachings were naturally condensed from the boundless essence of the Tao, helping Guangchengzi to comprehend the great Tao. Unfortunately, Guangchengzi was not proficient in these weapon refining techniques, and was still confused by what he heard.

Even though this Taoist master of weapon arts broke it into pieces, crushed it, and finally fed it to him slowly, and even when Yuanshi Tianzun had refined the three sun-shooting artifacts, Guangchengzi still had a confused look on his face, and only had a vague understanding, as if he understood, but also as if he didn’t.

Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun also sighed: “You, you are good at everything. You work seriously, value etiquette, and respect your teachers. Not to mention me, even the eldest brother, the younger sister Nuwa, and the two Western Lords are full of praise for you. But why can’t you learn the way of refining weapons?”

Guangchengzi looked extremely terrified and kowtowed to apologize, but his attitude was sincere and his actual behavior did not change at all.

Yuanshi Tianzun had no choice but to wave him away. Guangchengzi was secretly delighted, but a voice came from behind him: “Don’t forget to bring the treasure you refined here after ten thousand years.”

Guang Chengzi immediately hung his head in dismay, and said weakly, “Disciple obeys your command.”

Then he was thinking about what kind of treasure to refine, and he bumped into someone head-on. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was Yunxiao.

“What is Yunxiao doing in Yuxu Palace?” Guangchengzi was surprised, but didn’t care much. After nodding to each other, they left.

Time jumps like a ball, the days and months fly like shuttles, and five thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.

During these five thousand years, the biggest change in the entire prehistoric world is that the evil and resentful energy has become increasingly condensed, and has even turned into a visible layer of dark red energy, completely covering the prehistoric world. All the mysteries of heaven have been completely polluted, and the past, present and future are intertwined into one, and any method of deduction has become futile.

In addition to the evil and resentful aura, there is also an extremely heavy aura of calamity lingering in the ancient world. Anyone who has a karma or has committed a murderous calamity in the past five thousand years will almost certainly be entangled by the aura of calamity, and will have to go through the next calamity before it can end.

During the period of time when the cultivator is entangled by the calamity energy, it is almost impossible for him to practice again. Whenever he enters seclusion, he will feel that countless illusions appear out of thin air, trying to make him go astray and ruin all his life’s hard work.

So after understanding this, many cultivators came out and tried to end the killing, so the prehistoric world became lively instead.

As more and more cultivators came out of the mountains, the atmosphere in the prehistoric world became increasingly tense.

At this critical juncture, the two races of liches, which were destined to become the protagonists of the catastrophe, were strangely caught in a kind of peace. The leaders of the two races were desperately trying to converge their forces, obviously delaying the occurrence of the catastrophe and looking for a way to retreat safely.

In order to leave a way out, Emperor Jun ignored the opposition of Xihe and Changxi, and forcibly placed the ten Golden Crow princes in Tanggu, and sent the twelve Jade Rabbit princesses to the Taiyin Star.

This Tang Valley is located to the east of Penglai and is one of the remains of the fairy palace.

In the past, the wizards and liches joined forces to destroy the Immortal Court, and the Thirteen States of Zifu were also completely destroyed. Only the three islands of Penglai still have some remnants left, which is the only proof of the existence of the Immortal Court.

The saint disciples took the lead and plundered all the resources of the Immortal Court, but the remains of the Thirteen States of Zifu were far away in the East China Sea, so no one was willing to occupy them.

The Witch Clan has always stood on the earth, and naturally they are unwilling to come to the four seas, so all these debris fell into the hands of the Demon Clan.

After the birth of the ten Golden Crow princes, Emperor Jun had been making preparations. For example, the three Penglai Islands were the birthplace of the King of the East, and the King of the East was formed from the innate pure yang origin, which coincided with the same lineage as the solar system.

Therefore, Emperor Jun used his great magical power to restore the three Penglai Islands and renamed it Tanggu. After the ten Golden Crow princes took over Tanggu, they forcibly moved the Fusang trees there.

With these ten innate spiritual roots in place, even if Tanggu is not as good as the Sun Star, it is not much different. For these little golden crows, it is an unparalleled blessed land.

So they were able to hold back their anger and just swallow up the endless earth fire and exhale the infinite golden flame of the sun. However, after doing this day after day, they felt a little bored.

Xihe loves her children very much. She always feels that she was injured by Guangchengzi and had to give birth to her children early, which resulted in their mental and spiritual disabilities. Now these children are locked up in Tanggu, and she feels extremely indebted.

So she specially refined a Taiyin Divine Chariot so that her children could continue to patrol the sky for the sun.

Since this action could earn merit and fortune, Emperor Jun did not object. However, he required that only one Prince Jinwu could go out on tour every hundred years, and the other princes must practice in Tanggu.

At first, the princes obeyed the orders and surveyed the sky seriously, but as time went on, they felt that it was too boring.

Especially after seeing the many free and unfettered witch tribes on the earth, he felt even more jealous and envious.

Why can this prince only obey orders obediently, while you ants can live happily like this? There is no such reason in the world!
In particular, Lu Ya, the Ten Golden Crows, was most afraid of chaos in the world. During the time when he was patrolling the sky, he would often burn some witches alive when he was unhappy. He would come back and tell this to his many brothers as a funny story.

After hearing this, the other nine princes also thought it was a way to relieve boredom, so no matter who went to patrol the sky, no matter how bored or unhappy they were, they would kill some witches to make themselves feel better. Although the ten Jinwu princes had different personalities, they had one thing in common, which was their great love of novelty and dislike of the old.

After only a few years, they got tired of this kind of killing game and started looking for new fun.

One day, after the eldest prince patrolled the sky, the remaining nine golden crows were pecking each other’s feathers out of boredom. They all had golden wings of fire, and the flames were dazzling. Even if they just flapped their wings slightly, they would drop bits of the sun god fire.

Fortunately, this place is located under the Hibiscus tree, so even if there is fire falling, it will be absorbed by the tree to ensure that the land will not be destroyed.

The pecker is happy and the pecked is comfortable. After a while, they switch positions and peck each other lightly, showing a scene of unity and friendship.

“It’s so boring, brothers, do you have any other games to play?”

Lu Ya, who was pecking feathers for his starling, suddenly raised his head and shouted to the other Golden Crow Princes, “I want to go back to Heaven. In Heaven, my brothers and I can fly freely. It’s nothing like here. It’s like being locked up!”

The other Golden Crows felt the same way and they all started croaking. Countless flames burst out everywhere and swept along with their movements, but were eventually absorbed by the Fusang Tree.

Unfortunately, when these golden crows flew to a certain height, they were immediately blocked back by an unknown restriction, and finally could only fall back on the Fusang tree.

The ten Golden Crow princes were naughty and ignorant, so they naturally would not obey Emperor Jun’s orders. Emperor Jun was well prepared and had set up the Hunyuan Heluo formation outside Tanggu.

Although there is no River Map and Luo Shu to suppress it, it cannot be broken by ten Taiyi Golden Immortals.

Even though each of these Golden Crow princes could kill Daluo with their own innate magical powers, the Hunyuan Heluo formation could even block the Hunyuan God, so they could only sigh in despair.

At this moment, a little demon passed by outside the formation, and the eyes of the Golden Crow princes suddenly lit up when they saw it.

If it were in the past in Heaven, they would not bother to pay attention to this little demon, but after being trapped for so long, even if it was just a little demon, it was enough to make them excited.

Lu Ya shouted, “Who’s that person outside? Come here quickly!”

The little demon was obviously a bit stupid. After being called by Lu Ya several times, he turned around confusedly and pointed at himself and said, “Are you calling me, princes?”

Lu Ya shouted, “Apart from you and me, is there anyone else here? Come over and talk to us, it’s too boring here!”

The little demon walked over slowly and said respectfully, “Xiaotuo greets all the princes. I wonder why the Tenth Prince asked me to come here?”

“Xiaotuo? What a strange name.”

Lu Ya grumbled and said casually: “We are the princes of Heaven. Do we need a reason to ask you to come here? Now tell us about the situation in Heaven. When we know it, it will help relieve some of the worries of our father and mother.”

After hearing this, Xiaotuo felt like he had found a pillar of support and immediately started pouring out his grievances.

In his words, Kuafu of the Ju Mang tribe got a treasure, and he cherished it like the apple of his eye all day long. He completely disregarded the peace agreement between the wizard and the lich, and treated the demons with arrogance and regarded them as slaves, and hurt people. He was extremely hateful. One day after drinking, he even ridiculed the demons as a group of beasts, and the two majesties in the lead were the beasts among the flat-haired beasts.

Originally, the princes called Xiaotuo over just to relieve their boredom, but now the more they listened, the angrier they became. All kinds of resentful and malicious energy in the world swarmed into this place, making Maitreya’s heart beat faster.

However, after touching the Seven Treasures Tree hanging around his waist, he felt slightly relieved.

Looking at the angry looks of the princes, Maitreya seemed indignant on the surface, but he was calm in his heart.

Xiaotuo Xiaotuo means laughing at Buddha, which naturally means Maitreya.

The saint is reserved, and even if he wants to destroy the two races of wizards and liches, he will not do it himself.

Just like Yuanshi Tianzun was responsible for refining the Sun-Shooting Artifact and asked Guangchengzi to collect the materials for it, the two Western saints were responsible for luring out the ten Golden Crows, but they also asked their disciples to do the job.

Seeing that the situation was almost heated, Maitreya immediately said: “My fellow princes, you are the pride of our heaven, the shining sun in the sky, you must avenge us.”

Lu Ya said irritably: “If it is possible, wouldn’t we not do it? But we are trapped here and can’t get out even if we want to, so what can we do?”

After hearing this, Maitreya pretended to be thinking hard, and finally pretended to be righteous and said: “As a member of the heavenly court, I am willing to sacrifice myself for the princes! I have a magical power that is most effective against large formations.

I only need to sacrifice myself completely to create a gap in the formation for the princes. Princes, please do not hesitate or feel sorry for me. Step on my corpse to avenge the Heavenly Court!”
