Chapter 465: Chapter 465: Mobilization of Three Dynasties
"Mr. Shui Jing, what do you want to do?" Zhong Shan asked, looking at Shui Jing.
"Yanyan is very happy now. I\'ve always wondered if I should tell her the truth. I\'m afraid of ruining her current life. I would rather endure some pain myself than cause her any harm. But this pain is becoming increasingly unbearable. So, I wanted to ask for your advice," Mr. Shui Jing said hopefully.
Zhong Shan was speechless for a moment. Did Shui Jing really think he was a love sage? However, Zhong Shan was indeed better at handling such matters than Mr. Shui Jing.
"This isn\'t difficult. Let me ask you, can you forget your past life and let go of this love?" Zhong Shan asked.
"No, and I don\'t want to!" Mr. Shui Jing replied firmly.
"Uh, don\'t want to? Then find an opportunity to tell her clearly! Any elaborate means of pleasing her are not as effective as a heartfelt confession," Zhong Shan said bluntly.
"But..." Mr. Shui Jing hesitated, clearly afraid of disturbing Liu Yanyan\'s happy life.
Looking at Mr. Shui Jing, Zhong Shan sighed softly.
"You are too upright. A good man like you is hard to find in this world. How about this, let me ask you a few questions," Zhong Shan said.
"First, you say Liu Yanyan is living happily now. How are you so sure? Just based on what you\'ve seen? Remember, those involved in the situation may not see the full picture," Zhong Shan said.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Shui Jing raised his eyebrows, about to refute, but then he fell silent.
"Second, even if Liu Yanyan is living happily, why would King Daxuan marry her as a consort? Why did he marry her suddenly before you found her? Did you show your talents to King Daxuan before? Is it possible that he married Liu Yanyan to control you?" Zhong Shan continued, not sparing King Daxuan\'s face at all.
"That can\'t be, it\'s impossible!" Mr. Shui Jing frowned deeply. Although he didn\'t believe it, his intelligence made him consider it deeply.
"If this is true, then you wouldn\'t be ruining her happiness but saving her from suffering. She has been trapped for decades, maybe even centuries. Do you really want to watch her continue being trapped in a deception?" Zhong Shan encouraged.
"This..." Mr. Shui Jing clenched his fists, clearly wavering.
"Third, you only know the Liu Yanyan from your past life. If she doesn\'t recover her past life memories, she isn\'t the same Liu Yanyan. Have you tried to awaken her past life memories as the Liu Yanyan of your past asked?" Zhong Shan said.
Cold sweat began to form on Mr. Shui Jing\'s forehead. Previously, he was stuck in a dilemma, unable to see clearly. Now, with Zhong Shan\'s guidance, he suddenly understood much more.
"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Zhong Shan!" Mr. Shui Jing stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhong Shan. This bow was sincere.
"Hehe, I was just speaking casually. The next steps are up to you, Mr. Shui Jing," Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Yes, I will definitely repay your guidance today. I\'ve troubled you for too long," Mr. Shui Jing said immediately.
"Mr. Shui Jing, you may go. After all, the Celestial Dynasty\'s army will mobilize tomorrow. If you have any plans, you\'d better prepare quickly," Zhong Shan said.
"Thank you!"
Watching Mr. Shui Jing\'s departing figure, Zhong Shan pondered deeply for a while.
The next day, the Great Luo Celestial Dynasty officially mobilized its troops.
In the past two years, the Zhong Family Army had expanded again, reaching a strength of one million.
Zhong Shan, leading the vanguard, took his army swiftly eastward, preparing to attack the Land of Ultimate Bliss from the north of the East Sea.
While Zhong Shan\'s vanguard moved eastward, preparing to attack the Land of Ultimate Bliss from the north of the East Sea, the main force of the Great Luo Celestial Dynasty, led by Gu Shentong, took the shortest path, heading straight towards the Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Gu Shentong\'s march was not fast, progressing gradually with the vast army. Seated on a grand Nine-Dragon Heavenly Chair, he moved northward, and with every step, the sky above grew darker and more oppressive. This was Gu Shentong\'s domain, his power extending even to the sky itself, which followed him as he moved.
Underneath the Nine-Dragon Heavenly Chair, the vast expanse was filled with an endless army, their momentum overwhelming and unstoppable.
Accompanying the army were the Four Great Princes, King Zhengyi, King Daxuan, King Taizong, and King Zhantian. Even Tian Lao, leaning on a cane, followed along. The endless ranks of the Tiger Clan guarded the flanks, either carrying people or moving on their own, advancing with the army towards the Land of Ultimate Bliss. Their mission was to obliterate the Land of Ultimate Bliss in response to the emperor\'s wrath.
The momentum was truly unstoppable! Any who tried to obstruct them would be utterly annihilated.
As the Great Luo Celestial Dynasty mobilized its forces, so did the Great Li Celestial Dynasty. Under the soaring phoenixes, the vast army of the Great Li Celestial Dynasty advanced towards the Land of Ultimate Bliss. Above them, Niefanchen sat on a Nine-Dragon Heavenly Chair, overlooking the land. His domain followed, enveloping the army and advancing towards the Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Their pace, too, was not swift. With each step, the sky grew darker, streaked with flashes of lightning. This was a gathering of celestial power. As long as they were soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty, they would not be affected and might even receive a slight boost in strength. Under this celestial power, non-Celestial Dynasty soldiers would be suppressed to some extent, similar to how the Buddhist prohibition suppressed non-Buddhists in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
As for the Great Qin Celestial Dynasty, the approach was similar, but Ying did not sit on a Nine-Dragon Heavenly Chair. Instead, he was pulled by nine dragons in a chariot, heading towards the Land of Ultimate Bliss. The armies of the five major imperial dynasties all followed the Great Qin Celestial Dynasty, marching mightily towards the Land of Ultimate Bliss. The sky grew darker, and Ying\'s domain illuminated the army, pointing directly at the Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The land of Shenzhou was in turmoil. Wherever the three armies passed, all forces pacified their subordinates, ensuring no interference. Even when passing through other imperial dynasties or large sects, barriers were lifted, and sect gates were opened.
Everyone could see the vast scope and great power involved in this war, and no one wanted to be dragged into it.
Of course, many powerful individuals were attracted by the impending conflict. However, outside the three main armies, they could only play minor roles, scavenging for remnants.
Zhong Shan\'s army had a special mission, so they did not march with Gu Shentong\'s main force.
After leaving the Ancient Holy City, Zhong Shan\'s army headed east with all their might, without pausing.
"Commander, isn\'t this pace too hurried? It\'s been half a month, and we\'ve only rested once. The soldiers are struggling," Shui Wuhen said worriedly.
"Struggling? They must endure it. Once we reach the East Sea, we will be safe," Zhong Shan said sternly.
"Is there really anyone daring enough to ambush us?" Liu Wushuang asked with a frown.
"They\'re here!" Zhong Shan said with a wry smile.
No sooner had he spoken than they appeared.
In front of the army stood five people.
Leading them was an old acquaintance of Zhong Shan, Pious Bodhisattva, with a faint halo of merit above his head, accompanied by four Arhats.
An emperor-level figure and four king-level figures, specifically to intercept Zhong Shan?
"Commander, they..." Liu Wushuang was incredulous.
How could this be? With the Land of Ultimate Bliss in crisis, why were they outside?
"It\'s simple. The main forces of the three Celestial Dynasties are still some distance from the Land of Ultimate Bliss. During this time, the Land of Ultimate Bliss wants to eliminate some threats," Lin Xiao explained from the side.
"Pious Bodhisattva!" Zhong Shan said coldly.
What he had feared had come true. The red lotus on his forehead turned blue, indicating a bad omen. But in the next moment, it changed to a bright red, indicating great fortune. Zhong Shan was puzzled.
At that moment, a strange buzzing sound filled the air.
"Buzz~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
Zhong Shan froze in place. His men, like Zhihuo, quickly surrounded him, clearly aware that something significant was happening.
This was the spiritual realm of Pious Bodhisattva.
Zhong Shan\'s spirit had entered a hellish mental world created by Pious Bodhisattva.
The sky was overcast, and the ground was filled with numerous ghosts wandering around. In some places, the ground turned red and glowed, revealing lava pits that looked like honeycombs, making the scene extremely horrifying.
"Zhong Shan, hahaha, you\'ve finally fallen into my hands. The Buddha ordered me to cut off the wings of the three armies, and you\'re the first one I came for. You should feel honored," Pious Bodhisattva\'s phantom coldly watched Zhong Shan from a distance.
Upon entering this world, Zhong Shan sighed deeply.
If Pious Bodhisattva had used her real strength to fight him, he would be in serious trouble, as the bad omen indicated. But why had she chosen a spiritual battle?
Of course, for most people, a spiritual confrontation was deadly. If one\'s spirit was destroyed in the mental world, their soul would quickly disintegrate, leading to complete annihilation, making reincarnation impossible.
But for Zhong Shan, it was Pious Bodhisattva\'s misfortune.
With a scornful smile, Zhong Shan said, "I\'ve seen fools, but never one as foolish as you, Pious Bodhisattva. Such a vile and ugly old nun using a name like Pious Fragrance. Do you know my reaction every time I hear your name?"
"What?" Pious Bodhisattva\'s eyes flashed with anger.
"I get goosebumps! Truly, old but not wise. Shameless in old age. I bet those four Arhats behind you are your toys. It\'s surprising you like to toy with the young. I admire your audacity!" Zhong Shan said venomously.
"Courting death!" Pious Bodhisattva roared in anger.
Instantly, a volcano erupted under Zhong Shan\'s feet, clearly intending to burn him alive.
"Hmph!" Zhong Shan snorted coldly.
"Eeeeeee~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
A strange sound echoed as the eight tails of the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail split the endless lava, then opened its mouth and took a huge bite.
"Gulp."
It was as if a chunk of the world had been ripped away, leaving a massive gap. The Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail wasn\'t eating the volcano; it was devouring the very fabric of the mental space.
Pious Bodhisattva\'s face twisted in shock and anger as the fabric of her spiritual world began to unravel.
"How is this possible?!" she exclaimed, unable to believe what she was witnessing.
