The Temple Is There, the Way Is There; the Temple Is Destroyed, the Way Is Gone

Chapter 1768: The Dao survives as long as the palace is destroyed.

Lan Yutian felt melancholy and stepped out of the golden ship.

Xu Shenghua also had many feelings. The life of the Empress was a legendary one. Although many of her actions were despicable, her experience had been imprinted in the mythology of this universe.

The era of the emperor, empress and the ten celestial masters has passed.

Of the ten celestial masters back then, only Emperor Haotian is left.

The two of them did not have time to think too much and immediately headed towards the direction where Emperor Haotian had imprinted the void. Now was the critical period for Emperor Haotian to achieve enlightenment for the second time, and they could not let him achieve enlightenment again at any cost!

Even though Emperor Haotian is quite incompetent, he is after all the most intelligent person in the world. He was defeated by Yun Tianzun and Qin Mu, so he must be kept defeated. He must not be given a third chance to make a comeback!

If Emperor Haotian can still make a comeback and restore his Tao heart in this state, then he will become extremely terrifying!

Not far from the two of them, Shang Jun, Yue Tianzun and Jiang Baigui were fighting with the Lord of Huanxi Palace, and the battle had reached a crucial stage.

Jiang Baigui used the Great Heavenly Palace of the Later Heaven to suppress the physical body of the Lord of the Joyful Palace. Shang Jun was suppressed under the Joyful Palace. He raised a knife under the palace, and the knife light split the Joyful Palace in half!

There was a raging red flame above the head of the Joy Hall Master, and her soul leaped out, shocking Jiang Baigui away. However, it was too late. Shang Jun's sword flashed across her left leg. When she flew up from the hall, she looked down and saw that her left leg was standing intact in the Joy Hall.

"Shang Jun, you devil! Get on your way!"

The Joyful Palace Master gritted her teeth, and the light of the palace shone brightly, colliding with Shang Jun's light. At the same time, her Dao Tree swept towards Jiang Baigui!

boom!

The impact of the shimmering Taoist light made Xu Shenghua and Lan Yutian in the distance unsteady.

The two looked back and saw that the Joy Hall was split into two halves. The huge Taoist tree of the Joy Hall master actually showed the vision of thousands of Taoist trees forming a forest, turning the place into a Taoist tree forest.

In the cracked hall, Shang Jun stood on the roof of one half, his body covered in blood, with blood gushing out of his eyes, ears, mouth and nose. In the other half, the Lord of Huanxi Hall stood on one leg with a shocking knife wound on his face.

Yue Tianzun shouted, the sound of the piano rang out, and he folded the space, trying to break the spatial magic of the Lord of Joy Palace and send Jiang Baigui into the Taoist Tree Forest.

Jiang Baigui was not having a good time either. He was swept by the Dao Tree of the Lord of Huanxi Palace, and the palaces in the Heavenly Palace were in ruins.

He is a master of the acquired way, his cultivation and magic power are extremely strong. His Taoist magical powers are not within the scope of the previous cultivation system. It can be said that he is a new learner. Even Xu Shenghua and Lan Yutian do not understand them.

The Lord of the Joy Hall often has no way of breaking his magical powers and Taoism.

However, the gap in cultivation was difficult to make up, and Jiang Baigui was still seriously injured by her.

Yue Tianzun was unable to break through the Dao Tree Forest of the Lord of Huanxi Palace in a short period of time, and he was anxious. He suddenly shouted and pushed his magic power to the extreme.

She threw a peach branch, which fell into the Taoist forest. The peach branch fell to the ground, and the peach forest suddenly grew. The peach blossoms bloomed, and pieces of peach blossoms flew in all directions, and the petals shuttled through space, becoming more and more.

Jiang Baigui stepped on the peach blossoms and continued to go deeper into the Taoist tree forest. Various Taoist chains were intertwined among the Taoist trees. He encountered various attacks along the way and kept breaking them.

Yue Tianzun cooperated with him, and the two of them together broke the magical powers of the Lord of Joy Palace. Yue Tianzun sent him deep into the Dao Tree Forest, getting closer and closer to the cracked Joy Palace.

On the cracked treasure hall, the Joyful Hall Master looked at the hall that had been split in two with a gloomy face. He said softly: "My teacher once told me that there are very few people in this world who can achieve the treasure hall with their own Taoism. The treasure hall is stronger than the Tao tree, and higher than the Tao fruit. It is a new path. The Tao tree and the Tao fruit are just imitations of the world tree, but the treasure hall is the ravine in the heart of the Tao person, the universe in his heart. The hall is the final pure land for the Tao person, and it is also the highest achievement."

Shang Jun held a knife, and blood kept flowing from wounds of all sizes on his body. The power of the Joy Hall almost shattered all his limbs and bones, but he was an enlightened person after all, and he used his powerful magic power to stabilize his body so that he would not break into pieces.

He had received far more serious injuries than this in the history of the Sixteenth Century, so he did not care.

His eyes fell on the one leg of the Lord of Joy.

The other leg of the Joyful Hall Master had been chopped off by him, and the wound caused the woman to bleed continuously.

"My teacher taught me the Supreme Law, but I am dull and could never comprehend it thoroughly. The palace he mentioned is actually a treasure palace formed by the great way like the Supreme Palace, the Wuji Palace, and the Lingxiao Palace. He wants us to innovate and walk our own path, a path that he himself could not walk, to reach the limit, to become a young master who can stand on his own, to become his fellow Taoist, and to support each other and move forward. But I can't do it."

The Joyful Hall Master panted, adjusted his breath, and said in a hoarse voice: "All I can do is take one step forward under his guidance. This step is already my limit, so I can only become one of the Hall Masters of the Seventy-two Halls."

She smiled. "My teacher once told me that I was too violent and asked me to think twice before I act. He said that my smile was beautiful and pure, so he gave me a Taoist name, Huanxi. He hoped that I would smile when I was impulsive, and think when I smiled, so that I could get out of the impulse. He hoped that I could keep smiling and keep my heart pure. Since I started practicing, I have been just as he expected. I often smile at things in the world, and I have done fewer stupid things."

Shang Jun said indifferently: "You really do look good when you smile."

The sound of the zither came faintly from the Taoist forest outside. Yue Tianzun and Jiang Baigui had cracked the forest and were gradually approaching.

The peach forest is everywhere, covering an increasingly wide area.

The Joyful Hall Master exhaled a breath of foul air, but blood gushed out of her throat. She evened her breath, slowly lowered one leg, and squatted down, the smile on her face disappeared: "Teacher said that when I don't smile, it will be the most dangerous time for me. The danger is not only for my opponent, but also for myself. Because when I don't smile, I am the least calm."

Behind her, layers of Dao realms exploded!

Shang Jun slowly inserted the knife in his hand into the scabbard, and his body slowly sank down.

The Thirty-Six Heavens Killing Field formed under his feet. His body was tense, some muscles were relaxed, some were tensed, and some were compressed like springs.

The two men gathered their strength.

The Joyful Hall Master fixed his eyes on Shang Jun and whispered, "Shang Jun, you destroyed the Sixteenth Epoch that raised you with your own hands, and then went mad in the destruction calamity and slaughtered the enlightened ones. The eldest son Tai Shang did not take your life, but I will not."

boom!

Her figure leaped out, and the palace that was split in two suddenly shone with light. The palace disintegrated in the light. The Joyful Palace Master said sternly: "As long as the palace is there, the Dao will be there. If the palace is destroyed, the Dao will perish! Today, with my Dao skills, I will send you, the devil, to go with me!"

At this moment, her fighting spirit reached an unprecedented extreme!

If she ran away, even Yue Tianzun would not be able to stop her, but she stayed and fought to the death with Shang Jun!

There seemed to be an idea in the heart of the Joy Palace Master that supported her, allowing her to stop Shang Jun and others, and allowing her to fight to the death to kill Shang Jun in exchange for the arrival of the enlightened person from the Miluo Palace.

Yue Tianzun, Jiang Baigui and others have their own ideas, and Shang Jun also has his own ideas, which support them to challenge the powerful and achieve their wishes.

The Lord of Joy Hall also has it.

Her philosophy is the philosophy of the Miro Palace. It is precisely because of the philosophy of the Miro Palace that the Miro Palace has become a holy place in the minds of those who have achieved enlightenment in the past sixteen cosmic eras.

For this ideal, they can go through fire and water and fight against everything.

Although the owner of Miro Palace is no longer here, Miro Palace will not be disbanded as long as the ideals remain.

In her heart, the philosophy of Miro Palace can never be wrong, and the philosophy of the master of Miro Palace can never be wrong. The only ones who are wrong are other people!

As the palace master, she must protect the ideals of Miro Palace!

Shang Jun drew his sword and went to meet the Lord of Joy Palace when her light and flame were at their brightest!

The Lord of Joy Palace has her own ideas, and Shang Jun also has his own ideas.

He really wanted to protect the sentient beings of the Sixteenth Epoch, and create a peaceful and prosperous era for them, and kill all the stowaways and all the enlightened ones who stole the vitality of the Sixteenth Epoch!

He failed.

When he attained enlightenment, he became the culprit who destroyed the sixteenth era. He wanted to protect all living beings, but he became the executioner who slaughtered them.

Since then, his faith in Taoism has never recovered.

His mistake cannot be made up for.

But after meeting Qin Mu, his heart of Tao was sharpened again, and he found his own ideals again.

He could not protect the sentient beings of the Sixteenth Century and became a sinner of the Sixteenth Century, but the sentient beings of the Seventeenth Century are also sentient beings. He will never tolerate the tragedy to happen again, and he cannot make the same mistake again!

No matter how noble or fantastic the ideas of the Miro Palace may be, they are still the termites of the universe!

He wants to protect a peaceful place.

The two collided head-on for the first time in the air. The Joyful Palace Master controlled the disintegrating treasure palace, and countless chains intertwined and pierced into Shang Jun's body. He shouted sternly: "Follow me on the road!"

Bang bang bang!

Shang Jun's entire body exploded, his flesh and soul were torn into pieces one after another, and the thirty-six levels of the Killing Path were riddled with holes. His strength was rapidly fading, but his murderous aura was stronger than ever!

The majestic murderous aura sublimated and turned into the thirty-seventh kill!

Heaven and man work together to establish the foundation of all things!

With this slash, all the great ways and chains of the Joyful Palace Master were shattered in the light of the sword.

However, her last bit of energy turned into a final blow, piercing Shang Jun's brain.

boom!

The Dao tree forest suddenly collapsed, and the Dao tree of the Joy Hall Master disintegrated and turned into a peach forest. Jiang Baigui and Yue Tianzun rushed over, and Jiang Baigui's magical powers burst out, various magical powers changed in a myriad of ways, and countless finger shadows flashed through the sky, passing through the two people's magical powers and the Dao light and sword light, and turned into one finger, and with the final blow of the Joy Hall Master, they all pointed at Shang Jun's brow.

Shang Jun fell on his back, his body, soul and killing field were all shattered.

"Hahaha!"

The Joyful Hall Master stood on one leg and laughed: "Shang Jun, I said that if I can go on the road with you, I will never break my promise. What a pity..."

She turned to look at Yue Tianzun with a strange look in her eyes: "I couldn't bring you along. I failed to complete the Fourth Young Master's entrustment..."

Her brow was cracked, and a line of blood extended from her forehead along the midline of her body.

Yue Tianzun originally wanted to kill him, but when he saw the blood line, he stopped.

Jiang Baigui came to Shang Jun quickly and said, "My Bu Yi magical power is not as strong and accurate as that of Second Senior Brother, but it is only a little bit stronger than Senior Brother Wei Suifeng. It is still unknown whether I can save Shang Jun."

"Blasphemer!"

The Joyful Palace Master turned around, screamed miserably, and rushed towards him. Suddenly, the ultimate murderous intent hidden in her body erupted, tearing her to pieces!

The Lord of the Joy Palace died, and one of the seventy-two palaces of the Miro Palace was lost.
