Tao Tie knew that he was not in the right state. He also knew where this wrong situation came from. The increasingly fierce calamity energy is one of the reasons, but it is only a triggering factor. The most important thing is that the "disaster" of suffering the fate of ten thousand souls in Pingyuan County has come. When he discovered the boundary wall of the absolute zone, Tao Tie felt that his soul was assaulted by endless resentment, anger, murderous intent, and evil spirit. It was directly split into two halves, one half was rational and indifferent, and the other half was rational but retained some warmth in human nature. The two halves of the soul immediately engaged in a brief but fierce fight. During this period, his thoughts were very fragmented and his behavior even more so, somewhat confusing. Until Dong Shou called her out, the indifferent half used all means to gain the absolute upper hand and suppressed the warm half. Then the inspiration came up and I perfected it subconsciously. The half of warmth that was suppressed could only pass on some news and make some arrangements with difficulty at the cost of being suppressed more thoroughly.

Trying to save himself and stop the indifferent half from leading "everyone" into the abyss. Yang Tianci, Wei Fengge, Dong Shou and others discovered that something was wrong with Tao Tie at this time. Dong Shou cast a spell with a wave of his hand, prohibiting any sound from leaking out, and conspired in front of Tao Tie: "How about we knock Tao Tie out and send him to Benchu ​​Island? His current condition is very bad, and it feels like he is about to be possessed by a demon." Wei Fengge agreed: "Knocking him out is not safe enough. We need to restrain him completely to prevent him from waking up in the middle of the fight and causing trouble." Yang Tianci had a different opinion: "How do we knock him out? Who will do it? Even if we attack together, we won't be able to take him down in a short period of time. On the contrary, it will easily irritate him and cause bad things to happen." Dong Shou asked, "So what do you think we should do? Just watch and do nothing?" Wei Fengge frowned slightly: "It seems that we have no other choice but to watch." Yang Tianci's tone lengthened a little: "It's not that there is no way." Dong Shou and Wei Fengge said in unison: "What method? Tell me quickly! Tell me quickly!" Yang Tianci's voice was slightly deep: "We are all geniuses. If we are apart, we are like stars in the sky. If we are together, we are like a fire. In the current situation, we should work together to overcome the difficulties. Now that we have gathered together, we should form a team and play the role of a team." As he spoke, Yang Tianci raised his hand and pointed down the mountain, spinning in all directions, while continuing, "There are so many panicked and helpless Li people, without hope and without guidance, not just on Fuli Island. Since we are the geniuses selected by the court, we should play the role of geniuses at this moment." Dong Shou frowned: "Speak frankly. It's annoying to keep beating around the bush!" Wei Fengge echoed: "That's right! It's already this hour, and you're still talking at length. Believe it or not, I'll tell you off your tongue." Yang Tianci immediately changed his way of speaking and said concisely: "Let Tao Tie do what he wants to do, and we will do what we can do." "for example?" Dong Shou raised an eyebrow. Yang Tianci waved his hand and a three-dimensional formation diagram flew out from the main hall of the missionary institute. What is shown on it is the idea that Tao Tie had constructed earlier, with nine islands along the line of Fuli Island symbolizing the fulcrum of the nine stars of the Big Dipper. A booklet also flew out along with the three-dimensional array diagram.

It describes in detail the fulcrum effect, lever structure, and the posture of prying the boundary wall as envisioned by Tao Tie. They were all thousand-year-old foxes, and Dong Shou and Wei Fengge understood it at a glance. Yang Tianci had contacted Tao Tie privately and learned some information in advance. This made Dong Shou feel a little jealous. He was obviously the one who came first. Why look for Yang Tianci instead of asking him to come forward? Could it be that Yang Tianci has stronger appeal and is more stable than him? Well, Dong Shou had to admit that this was true. After leaving Pingyuan County, he became more and more eccentric. Yang Tianci pretended not to see Dong Shou's facial expression and the changes in his eyes. He stretched out his hands, grabbed Wei Fengge and Dong Shou on the left and right, turned his back to Tao Tie, walked towards the 14 geniuses who were talking in their respective small circles, and called on them to go down the mountain together. The 140 geniuses followed the convention and responded to the call of the three Confucian scholars who were at the top of the Hidden Dragon List and quickly descended from the main peak of the Central Mountain Range. In the crowd, Yuan Luyao, Zhu Cong, Lanling, Shan Yi and others who came from the three southwestern states looked back more than once at Tao Tie who was standing there, looking lonely and weird. They are all geniuses, and even if there are gaps between them, it doesn’t mean that they have poor vision. They could also see that something was wrong that Dong Shou, Yang Tianci and Wei Fengge could see. However, even these three people couldn't come up with a way to directly help Tao Tie, and they didn't have any, so they could only do what they could. After descending the main peak, Yang Tianci immediately took out the formation diagram symbolizing the nine stars of the Big Dipper and began to explain it. After the explanation, Kun Dao Xuanhua, who was proficient in talisman formations, immediately pointed out the flaws: "According to what you said, we want to form a 108-star formation of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, gather everyone's strength, and perform the feat of 'carrying mountains and crossing seas'. But we only have 107 people, how can we accomplish this?" Yang Tianci stretched out his hand and pointed backwards: "Don't worry, it can be done." As his words fell, the five ghosts of the Five Ghost Sect flew down from the main peak and came in front of the one hundred and seventy geniuses. As soon as they landed, the five ghosts of the Five Ghosts Sect used a middle-aged man whose gender could not be distinguished as the "base" and practiced the method of combining the Four Symbols with the Two Symbols, and the Two Symbols with Tai Chi. Their actions were consistent, enough to rival the geniuses of heaven. This is a method that the Five Ghosts developed by following Tao Tie and combining it with Tao Tie's Taiyi method based on the Five Ghosts Sect's own method. With the five ghosts filling in, the formation of the one hundred and eight constellations of Tiangang and Disha becomes complete. Everyone took action without delay. In the crowd, Lan Ling and Gao Wei, who had been disgusted with each other, put aside their grudges and worked together. Among the eight people and one ghost who followed Tao Tie, more than five ghosts were assigned tasks. Tan Jinxuan, Mo Yuhan, Chu Yingying, and even the ghost wife Xiaoqian were all assigned tasks. While Tao Tie's affectionate half was struggling to resist, the ghost wife Xiaoqian entered the Ziwei Jade Palace through a special space under the main peak. Before being ejected, she brought a message to the two inner-cultivation generals, Shenxiao Zhao Gong and Guandijun. Mo Yuhan and Chu Yingying teamed up to command the three thousand clay figures to disperse to other islands to maintain law and order and suppress riots. Tan Jinxuan first found Cai Weiming, Jin Can and Zheng Qinghe, and then with the help of the ultra-fast speed of the lower-grade heavenly magic weapon, the Heaven-Earth-Practicing Shuttle, he traveled between more than 200 islands, looking for the "gentry" on those islands. He had only one mission, which was to make these "gentry" understand what kind of tragedy would occur if the overseas demons conquered the island. We don't ask these "local gentry" to understand the greater good and stand up to fight against the overseas evil sects, as long as they don't take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Don’t think that the reason why the remaining 20,000 troops of Pinghaiwei retreated to Benchu ​​Island as soon as the boundary wall of Jueyu was erected was because they were afraid of the overseas demon sects. That's just a stopgap measure. First retract your fist to conserve your strength, and then find a good opportunity to strike back hard. Empty words naturally don't have much persuasive power. But as the three thousand clay men scattered across many islands and began patrolling, As the 108 constellations of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Demons were formed, the two small islands were first moved to the positions of the left and right assistants of Fuli Island by the Heavenly Gang method [Carrying Mountains and Crossing Seas] performed by the 107 Heavenly Pride and the Five Ghosts, causing huge storms on the sea. The "local gentry" on these many islands, who had been weakened several times but still had power, had to listen to Tan Jinxuan's words and had to come forward to maintain the stability of the situation. There are many times when the "local gentry" come forward and the effect is more significant and effective than that of government officials. Even though it's only temporary, even though it's not a good thing, even though it will leave troubles, but for the time being, we have to do this. More than a dozen islands along the line of Floating Island were the first to end the riots. Then, from Fuli Island to the west, more than 200 islands were stabilized one after another. Yang Ningyu, who led the remaining 20,000 troops of Pinghaiwei to Benchu ​​Island as quickly as possible, discovered the actions of Baiqi Tianjiao and Tao Tie's followers in time through the top-grade heavenly war artifacts he held, and noticed the changes on more than 200 islands in time, and remained silent for a long time. In fact, to be honest, very few people know about the boundary wall of the extreme zone. If Yang Ningyu had not taken the advice given by Tao Tie, such a big fuss could have been avoided. Even if we want to preserve the vitality of the Celestial Empire on the outer islands, there are other more gentle and low-key ways. There's no need to be so drastic. Among the officials, soldiers, and merchants who were forcibly summoned and moved to Benchu ​​Island, including Deputy General Ma Boqi, some were quite dissatisfied with Yang Ningyu's mobilization of such a large army. If it weren't for the fact that Pinghaiwei General Miao Zongren granted Yang Ningyu the right to temporarily control all matters concerning the outer islands before leading the main force of Pinghaiwei back to Qingzhou for in-depth rest and recuperation, what Yang Ningyu heard was not complaints, but strong opposition. "What is the General thinking?" After the 20,000-strong army arrived at Benchu ​​Island, all personnel placement, fortification repairs, and material allocation were carried out according to the emergency plan. Yang Ningyu and Ma Boqi, on the other hand, had no time to worry about trivial matters, so they climbed to a high place and looked out over the eastern sea and islands. Ma Boqi saw Yang Ningyu frowning and his expression changing in a few breaths. He was confused and asked, bringing up the topic. Yang Ningyu replied in a deep voice, "I'm wondering which direction to march in." "Ok?" Ma Boqi was very surprised. Wasn’t it agreed that we should hold on to Benchu ​​Island and wait for help? Why are you thinking about advancing again? Was it a sudden change of mind, or had he always thought this way but kept it hidden in his heart, not revealing it, and concealing it from everyone? Ma Boqi became even more confused and asked directly. Yang Ningyu sighed and said, "General Ma, you and I are not familiar with each other, and we even have old grudges, but we fought side by side, and honesty is the most important thing, so I will not hide it from you. I am the Fifth Prince's man. Before I was transferred to Pinghai Guard, the Fifth Prince specifically told me that if there is nothing wrong, it's fine. If there is something wrong, try to listen to Tao Tie's thoughts." "Ok?" Upon hearing this, Ma Boqi couldn't help but feel confused. Although on the battlefield, everyone has to keep their heads on their shoulders. There is no guarantee that there will be tomorrow just because there is today, so there is no need to think too far ahead.

But this secret was spoken out so easily. After hearing it, should Ma Boqi tell it to Xinxi Hou in the future? If you speak, it’s not good; if you don’t speak, it’s not good either. Yang Ningyu caught a glimpse of Ma Boqi's tangle from the corner of his eye, and waved his hand: "Forget it, I won't talk to you about this, lest you blame me. I only ask you one thing, think carefully, what is the military order I issued to the 20,000 soldiers?" Hearing this, Ma Boqi breathed a sigh of relief and began to think. What was the military order given to 20,000 soldiers? Isn't it just gathering at Benchu ​​Island, repairing various fortifications, and then defending... and many more! Ma Boqi's eyes suddenly lit up, and the look he gave Yang Ningyu immediately changed. The military order was personally issued by Yang Ningyu. It was in compliance with the order of General Miao, the governor of Pinghaiwei. Yang Ningyu had the power to temporarily control all matters concerning the outer islands. Now he specially ordered all the soldiers from the islands of Pinghaiwei to assemble at Benchu ​​Island to respond to any sudden changes. There is no such term as "hold on and wait for help". It also does not mean "hold on and wait for help". The reason why the generals and soldiers had complaints was that well-informed officials and merchants despised Yang Ningyu for his cowardly behavior of not daring to fight a single battle and, once there was a sudden change, he simply abandoned more than 200 islands in the outer sea and retreated to Benchu ​​Island. Due to rumors and misinformation, even Deputy General Ma Boqi believed that Yang Ningyu had really accepted Tao Tie's advice in its entirety and had lost his soldierly character! After looking at it for a while, Ma Boqi came back to his senses and said in a trembling voice: "So, what does the general want?" Yang Ningyu looked around and said with a smile: "Everyone looks at the problem from a different angle and sees different things. Tao Tie, of course, has some mysterious means and sees things that you and I cannot see, but he also does not see the blood in the bones of our Tianchao soldiers. For him, the most correct way to deal with the incident he mentioned, the Absolute Domain Boundary Wall, is to sacrifice the small to protect the big, and sacrifice the light to protect the heavy. But for our Tianchao soldiers..." As he spoke, Yang Ningyu tilted his head and looked at Ma Boqi: "General Ma, what do you think is the right thing to do?" Ma Boqi, who had reminded Yang Ningyu not long ago to be careful to protect more talented people, stood up solemnly, showing an extremely brave temperament: "Destroy all the invading enemies!" "This is it." Yang Ningyu patted the non-existent dust on his armor, and his voice suddenly sank, like a hammer hitting down, "Pass the order, select the vanguard, march forward, target all the invading overseas demon sects east of Fuli Island." "promise!" Ma Boqi accepted the order loudly, turned around and strode away. Yang Ningyu watched them go, and then his mind connected with the top-grade heavenly war weapon. His view penetrated the fog that covered the entire outer island chain and saw the sea area a thousand nautical miles east of Fuli Island. There, there were numerous overseas demon sects and densely packed demon cultivators, gathering together like a school of sharks that had smelled blood. Driven by a certain will, the crazy and fearless demon cultivators waited for the fog covering the outer islands to dissipate, and then rushed forward, determined to devour the bloody Chinese. On Fuli Island, Tao Tie, who had stood silently for more than an hour, finally moved. There was no mercy in his eyes. The rational and indifferent part of the soul has expanded to three quarters. All the ideas of division of labor and cooperation, holding out and waiting for help, and prying open the boundaries were abandoned.

Now Tao Tie only wants destruction. Entering the special underground space of the main peak, Tao Tie adjusted its relationship with the Ziwei Jade Palace. Without Tao Tie's permission, the gods, soldiers, and any souls could not travel back and forth between the Ziwei Jade Palace and this special space. Afterwards, the Taotie image under the throne of the Yuanshen Taiyi Great Emperor split into a smaller image, entered the special space, and suddenly exploded into countless pieces. The rules representing engulfment, digestion and feedback are contained in these fragments. As the fragments merge with the special space, they become one of the core underlying rules of the special space. Tao Tie then applied the methods he had learned, especially the parts involving change, creation, and burning, in the same way, incorporating them one by one to form rules. These include the clay figurine training method that combines the Tiangang method, the Disha method and the power of Taiyi Great Emperor, as well as the alternative and unconventional way of witchcraft worship that has been practiced recently. The latter's carrier, a mother-and-child jade disc made of heavenly grade materials, was taken out and occupied the most central position in the space. The mother disc remains motionless while the ninety-nine and eighty-one sub-disks shatter and merge into one another. Wisps of demonic energy and evil thoughts emanated from Tao Tie. These were forcibly taken into the Ziwei Jade Palace by Tao Tie when he transformed Fuli Island into a Taoist temple, and he prepared to slowly refine them. The original spirit "Taiyi Great Emperor" appeared, and the five-colored meritorious divine light bloomed behind his head. The evil spirit and evil thoughts sank downwards according to the devouring, digestion and feedback rules of the Taotie Dharma Image. The five-colored merit divine light floats upwards according to the devouring, digestion, and feedback rules of the Taotie Dharma Image. After a while, the special space completely changed its appearance. From an irregular shape, it turned into a colorful and black Tai Chi furnace. Tao Tie struggled slightly, but still put his research on the three characteristics and abilities of Cai Kang, the demon son of the Langmo Sect, who was favored by the Shadow Demon, namely shadow affinity, shadow leaping and shadow escape, into the spherical Tai Chi furnace, combining his bloodline talent and magical powers. At this point, a method was found that would allow Tao Tie to have at least one million available soldiers in a short period of time. As long as this furnace absorbs enough energy, it can grant the person who offers his true spirit to Tao Tie and enters the furnace for calcination the qualifications for cultivation, the method of cultivation, the means of fighting, the special abilities, and the innate magical powers. If this person sacrifices his lifespan, he can immediately gain corresponding strength. For example, thirty years of life could be exchanged for combat power equivalent to that of an upper-rank eighth-grade cultivator. As a price, the true soul of the person who makes the dedication will be enslaved by Tao Tie forever. Even if Tao Tie gave them freedom, these true spirits would not be able to fully enter the cycle of reincarnation in the universe. It can only be completely ground into pieces and lose its true self forever. This method is no different from what the demons from outside the realm do. Tao Tie called it the seed of war and destruction. Because it can not only bestow, but also transform and create. The so-called transformation is to transform humans into non-humans, such as demon puppets or monsters; Creation is the use of energy and matter to produce soulless combat units.

Born purely for war, with the goal of destruction. Tao Tie waved his hand and the Tai Chi furnace turned from virtual to real and fell into his hands. With colorful black light draped over his body, he looked like a demon even more terrifying and ferocious than the demons from outer space. "Ah……" He weighed the stove, sneered, and walked out. Directly escape into the void. (End of this chapter)
