Chapter 211 The Blue Dragon Rises
However, he could not understand how the "Eternal Sky Buddha" was bound since there were no living beings or objects around.
Before he fully understood the situation, he didn't dare to intervene rashly. He could only hover in the air and observe quietly.
In Lanxiu City, Xia Zhongnan also felt mixed emotions.
The grand formation instructed by Feng Xingzi could indeed restrain the "Eternal Sky Buddha", giving them a glimmer of hope against the "He Dao cultivators", which comforted him a little.
However, the operation of the formation consumed a huge amount of energy, which made him very distressed.
In just one day and one night, trapping the "Eternal Sky Buddha" cost him more than 500,000 spirit stones. Especially when the Buddha was frantic in the formation, the spirit stones in various formation bases disappeared quickly, forcing him to reserve hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in each formation base for the guarding disciples to replenish at any time.
Although each array base only requires 100,000 spirit stones, Lanxiu City has a total of ninety-nine array bases, totaling nearly 10 million spirit stones. Even if he is wealthy, he cannot afford such a loss!
He thought to himself, "It would take more than 500,000 spirit stones to trap Eternity for one day, more than 5 million for ten days, and tens of millions for one month. What can I do? If I can solve it one day earlier, I can save hundreds of thousands of spirit stones!"
However, is the "Eternal Sky Buddha" easy to deal with?
If trapped, even without food or water, I would probably still be full of energy after endless years.
The two sides were in a stalemate, time passed quickly, and three days had passed in the blink of an eye.
In just three days, the news of the fierce battle between the Maitreya Army and the Xiuzhou Army outside Lanxiu City had spread far and wide, causing shock.
First, the 150,000-man army led by Zhu Fasheng was defeated, and more than half of the more than 30 venerables who were protecting the formation were lost; then there were rumors that a third-level Qilin led ten strong men to help the Xiuzhou army; finally, the "Eternal Sky Buddha" and the "True Blazing Buddha" personally went to Lanxiu City, but were unexpectedly trapped...
As the news spread, even the kings of the five kingdoms were shocked and decided to investigate the truth themselves...
The "Eternal Sky Buddha" had long since regained his composure and was concentrating on analyzing the mysterious formation that imprisoned him.
Every once in a while, he would dispel the fog around him and try to move in all directions.
Each time he would use a certain point as a reference and move towards that direction.
However, no matter how he moved forward, he could only get within three meters of the target at most. In other words, he was always confined to a space of three meters square.
At this moment, he remembered an ancient legend.
According to legend, an "immortal" casually drew a circle on the ground, and trapped a "Hedao" practitioner in the Donggu domain for a full ten years...
During this thousand years, the imprisoned Heaven and Earth Resonators could not escape this realm until the Immortal Realm Master showed mercy and the Resonators were able to regain their freedom. This legend is called "Sealing the Realm as a Prison".
When mentioning this legend, "Yutian Ancient Buddha" felt filled with loss.
If he is really trapped here for endless years, how can Maitreya City protect itself?
If the majesty of the two ancient Buddhas were reduced, would the Zhenzhuo Ancient Buddha be able to withstand the challenges from all sides alone?
The Pope sent the two to the city of Maitreya with high hopes. But now, he is unexpectedly in trouble. How can he complete the important task entrusted by the Pope?
The ancient Buddha Zhenzhuo, who continued to guard from high in the sky, was also full of worries.
He once warned "Don't rush into a battle array lightly", but the Ancient Buddha Yutian refused to believe it. Now he has left this mess for him to face alone. How should he deal with it?
You know, the leader's influence is far-reaching and boundless. If he arrived at the City of Maitreya alone, although it would not be as good as the arrival of two ancient Buddhas together, it would be enough to shock people. But now that one is lost, the situation of the other will be more difficult.
As time goes by, the situation becomes more critical and the consequences are unpredictable.
He was unwilling to wait any longer, and suddenly said: "Xiuzhou Mu, Maitreya City is willing to negotiate with you, please come out and talk!"
The sound echoed and everyone in Lanxiu City heard it.
Xia Zhongnan and Liu Dabazi were at the core of the formation. When they heard the peace proposal from the ancient Buddha Zhenzhuo, they both breathed a sigh of relief, their faces filled with joy.
After a long struggle, they finally saw the dawn of victory.
The tough battle against Maitreya City was won with a great victory. With this victory, why should Xiuzhou fear other forces?
Liu Dabazi wanted to respond to Zhen Zhuo Gufo immediately, but Xia Zhongnan stopped him and said, "No hurry, let's go back to the city and discuss it in detail!"
Liu Dabazi laughed loudly and said, "Yes, this is the core of the formation, we can't expose it. Let's go to the top of the city wall!"
It was not until the words of the ancient Buddha Zhenzhu were repeated for the third time that Liu Dabazi and Xia Zhongnan appeared on the city wall of Lanxiu City again.
Seeing Liu Dabazi appear, Zhenzhuo Ancient Buddha also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was indeed worried that Liu Dabazi would be stubborn and both sides would suffer.
It's not that I'm afraid of dying together, but there's no point in doing so.
At their level, face is no longer so important and they will think about problems from a more practical perspective.
Liu Dabazi asked: "Zhenzhuo Ancient Buddha, you said that Maitreya City is willing to reconcile with me, what are the conditions?"
The True Burning Ancient Buddha replied: "It's very simple. Unlock the formation and release 'Yu Tian'. We will leave immediately and never offend each other again."
Now that Xiuzhou has demonstrated its fortitude and wisdom, Zhenzhuo Ancient Buddha does not want Maitreya City to continue to invest resources in this conflict.
Don't worry too much about this defeat.
If Maitreya City and Maitreya Religion become increasingly powerful, they can be easily wiped out when there is a chance for revenge in the future, and there is no need to rush.
Liu Dabazi said: "This is true!"...
The Blazing Ancient Buddha said, "The gods and Buddhas never speak falsely!"
Liu Bazi asked, "So, are you willing to sign a covenant?"
“The Blazing Ancient Buddha” responded: “I agree!”
Liu Bazi used his magic power to condense a covenant, which clearly outlined the terms of Xiuzhou lifting the magic circle, the two ancient Buddhas leaving, and the two sides not invading each other from then on, and then imprinted his soul on it.
The "Ancient Buddha of Blazing Flame" also left his mark without hesitation.
The covenant was thus established. Xia Zhongnan waved his hand, and the psychedelic mist surrounding the "Yutian Ancient Buddha" dissipated, and the three parties could see each other.
"Yutian Ancient Buddha" understood the situation instantly, leaped into the air and came to the side of "Chiyan Ancient Buddha", glanced at Liu Bazi, and then left with "Chiyan Ancient Buddha" without saying a word from beginning to end.
Inside the city, the Xiuzhou soldiers learned that the alliance had been reached, and they were not afraid of the consequences, and they enjoyed the celebration. They had never expected that they could get through the raid of ten Maha temples and the annihilation of more than 400 Maha followers safely.
When they first learned that Liu Bazi, Xia Zhongnan and other senior officials had made such a heroic act, they were in a state of mixed emotions. They expected that Maha City would fight back, and many people were ready to make sacrifices.
Xia Zhongnan signaled everyone to be quiet and continue to operate the magic circle. He stayed on the top of the city to accompany Liu Bazi.
Seeing Xia Zhongnan's serious expression, Liu Bazi said, "Now that the covenant has been made, how dare Chiyan and Yutian violate it?"
In the world of cultivation, no one dares to violate the formal covenant that imprints the soul. This is related to the laws of nature. Those who break their promise will be punished, and no one dares to ignore it.
Xia Zhongnan replied, "The matter of Maha City has been resolved, but with such a huge momentum, other forces will definitely come to investigate. If we can resist Maha City, perhaps the monarchs of other countries will also be deeply interested. Be patient, the guests may arrive soon."
Liu Bazi fell into deep thought.
Xia Zhongnan added: "If the king comes and asks about some secrets..."
Liu Bazi smiled and said, "We have cleared out the forces of Maha City, which can be regarded as a great contribution to the Wu Kingdom. The king should respect our decision. What do you think?"
The two smiled at each other tacitly, and their minds were connected.
After waiting for more than an hour, the pressure of the Five Merged Paths came from afar. It was indeed the approach of the Five Kingdoms' monarchs. It seemed that the "Ancient Blazing Buddha" had already expected that the Five Kingdoms' monarchs would arrive in time and reconcile with Xiuzhou in advance to avoid a more turbulent situation when the Five Kingdoms' monarchs arrived.
Liu Bazi saluted Wu Longhai: "Xiuzhou Governor Liu Bazi pays respect to the king!"
Wu Longhai said: "Liu Bazi, I heard that you trapped Yutian and Chiyan here, why don't you see them?"
Liu Bazi replied: "How can a mere Lanxiu City restrain the two ancient Buddhas? They left long ago!"
Wu Longhai asked: "Did the two ancient Buddhas really come to your Lanxiu City? It seems that your Xiuzhou army defeated the Maha army commanded by Zhu Fasheng, which is also true?"
Liu Dabazi said in a deep voice: "They acted recklessly and recklessly in the Maitreya Temple in the Emerald Realm, plotting evil, and even dared to challenge the Xiuzhou Lord appointed by the king's order. I mobilized my subordinates to wipe them out, and a detailed report has been presented before the throne."
Wu Longhai responded: "I have read the king's letter. Your actions are justified and live up to my expectations when I first appointed you as the Lord of Xiuzhou."
Liu Dabazi continued, "Afterwards, Maitreya Fortress tried to use this opportunity to start a war and invade Lanxiu City. The warriors of Xiuzhou resisted fearlessly. Two ancient gods came in person to investigate the whole matter. They learned that it was Maitreya Temple that attacked our residence first, and there was nothing wrong with Xiuzhou's counterattack."
The gods, with compassion, prevented a greater conflict and ordered the Buddhist monk Zhu Fasheng to withdraw his troops. From then on, the two sides coexisted in peace and did not invade each other. "
Wu Longhai suppressed his displeasure and waited until he finished speaking before asking, "It is rumored that there is a third-level Qilin in the Xiuzhou army. Is this true?"
Liu Dabazi explained: "That was a friend who practiced the Qilin secret technique..."
Wu Longhai ordered: "Please ask him to show up."
Liu Dabazi replied, "They left after the army of Maitreya Fortress withdrew. If they knew the king was coming, they would definitely stay to pay homage."
Wu Longhai snorted coldly, obviously not convinced by Liu Dabazi's lies.
Liu Dabazi continued, "Your Majesty has come from afar, please come into the city, Dabazi will treat you wholeheartedly!"
Wu Longhai stared at Lanxiu City shrouded in mist without saying a word, trying to see through the mist to see the mysterious formation. The other four kingdom lords were also observing in secret, but like the two ancient gods, they could not see the mystery of the formation.
Zhongsun Chunye jokingly said, "King Wu, your lord invites you to the city, why don't you go?"
Apparently, the two gods had only retreated because they were frustrated, and even though Wu Longhai was the king of Liu Dabazi, he would not easily put himself in danger.
