Chapter 497 The Sage's Relationship
Chapter 497 The Sage's Relationship
With a flick of her sword, Qingping chased after Daoist Zhunti.
The guide looked at Yang Jiao with hostility, and in an instant, three figures appeared in front of her.
The Supreme Sage played with the Vajra Bracelet on his hand.
Yuanshi Tianzun blew a breath towards the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.
The Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi turned a page in the Earth Book.
The guide fixed his gaze on the object, then smiled kindly.
At this moment, another voice came from the sky:
"Jiao'er".
Yang Jiao looked up and saw the bright yellow above the clouds, her smile deepening.
She knew her uncle would come!
That's why they were so certain when they needed the power of heaven and earth in the chaos.
Yang Jiao smiled and waved towards the sky:
"uncle."
"Ah."
The Jade Emperor responded with a laugh, glancing at Zhen Yuanzi as if intentionally or unintentionally.
Venus, standing behind him, immediately said:
"His Majesty's relationship with Qingfu Zhengshen has become increasingly close."
In one sentence, he struck a chord with the Jade Emperor, though he did not show it on his face, his posture relaxed.
Venus raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that he was one step closer to a promotion.
He had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of the Jade Emperor's knuckles tapping on the table, and his heart tightened again.
Why does His Majesty still look so worried when Yang Jiao has come out?
Venus stepped forward and asked:
"Does Your Majesty have any further instructions?"
The Jade Emperor's eyes deepened, and his words were like a cold wind blowing in the dead of winter:
"I still have a nephew and niece inside!"
That Daoist who guides us has such great ambitions; Yang Jian and Yang Chan are both inside that Qiankun bag.
"Does Your Majesty wish to order the heavenly soldiers and generals to retrieve the Qiankun Bag?"
"Take it?" The Jade Emperor coldly rebuked, "That's too easy on him."
At this moment, the Jade Emperor noticed the loose thread on the Qiankun Bag, suppressed his urge to take action, and moved his fingers away, saying, "This is going to be interesting."
How could the Daoist Zhunti at the lower level be a match for the Master of Heaven?
He had exhausted all his abilities just defending against the Qingping Sword, and he didn't have the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit for protection. The only thing he had, the Seven Treasures Tree, was still hanging on his Qiankun Bag.
In a panic, he blurted out:
"Tongtian, how can a sage be killed? If you come again, don't blame me for reporting you to Zixiao Palace!"
The position of a sage is predetermined and protected by the Way of Heaven.
Below the level of a sage, no one can rival him.
Even if a saint kills another saint, he will still suffer the consequences of karma.
An immortal and indestructible being.
Just because someone won't die doesn't mean they won't feel pain or get hurt. If Zhunti Daoist had been struck by Tongtian Jiaozhu's sword, he would probably have had to go back to the Western Sect to recuperate for over a hundred years.
Thus, Western religions fell far behind.
Not worth the candle.
Therefore, he had no choice but to bring out the Grandmaster Hongjun.
Speaking of Hongjun Laozu of Zixiao Palace, even the Supreme Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun could no longer stand by and watch the tigers fight; they still had to maintain the facade of division.
The Supreme Sage stepped forward, and with his flat crutch, he deflected the Qingping Sword that was about to pierce Daoist Zhunti, before speaking:
"enough!"
Seeing that the Supreme Sage had finally made a move, Daoist Zhunti breathed a sigh of relief.
The Master of Heaven pointed at the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and said in a deep voice to the Supreme Sage:
"What Investiture of the Gods? They should have just asked me for members of the Jie Sect from the very beginning! Why all this trouble?"
The guide, protected by a lotus platform, displayed an attitude of impartiality and sternness.
"The Investiture of the Gods has its own destiny; don't make false accusations. How could you possibly plot against the Jie Sect?"
"And what about your Westerners?" Tongtian Jiaozhu asked him.
The Western religion escaped the Investiture of the Gods simply because it was poor.
The Guide Taoist refused to discuss this with him, and simply insisted on his own way:
"The way of Heaven is predetermined."
The way of heaven, the way of heaven.
Yang Jiao felt sorry for Tongtian Jiaozhu after hearing this, because the Heavenly Dao was just wary of the Jie Sect's overwhelming fortune.
The Jie Sect's fortune is inherited from the Tongtian Sect Leader. It is the number one sect in the Three Realms, which shows how profound its fortune is. If the Jie Sect is given some more time, it is not impossible for it to dominate the Three Realms.
Moreover, suppressing the Jie Sect would mean completely dividing the Three Pure Ones.
As long as they are not on good terms, Pangu will never have the chance to return to the world.
Only then will Heaven have time to repair its damage and forever suppress Pangu.
Seeing that so much time had already been spent, and that Yang Jiao had already achieved her wish within the illusion, Yuanshi Tianzun decided to delay no longer and said in a deep voice:
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation should be broken."
The wind grew stronger and stronger.
Even the sky became hazy.
The Tongtian Sect Leader looked around, and after taking one last look at Yang Jiao, he transformed into the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
The entire formation burst forth with golden light, piercing directly through the sky.
Zhen Yuanzi immediately opened the Book of Earth, including himself and Yang Jiao within it.
Seeing this, the Daoist Zhunti's eyes grew even deeper, and he approached the Daoist Jieyin and spoke in a low voice:
"Senior brother, this is the perfect opportunity!"
The Guide Daoist frowned: "With Tongtian already here, how can this be a good opportunity?"
Moreover, they have already captured nearly a thousand Taoists, enough for the development of the Western Religion, not to mention that among them are the two great masters, Lu Ya and Kong Xuan, as well as the well-established descendants such as Nezha and Yang Jian.
Zhunti Daoist revealed a sinister smile:
"Senior brother, you are overthinking it. It was only when Tongtian transformed himself into the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and wanted to trap us all that he had no power left to rescue these Taoists."
"Our goal is not to break the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and open the door to the Chan Sect, but to obtain the Daoist! The foundation for the future prosperity of the Western Sect!"
The guide instantly understood and revealed a knowing smile.
Then he addressed the Supreme Sage and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable:
“Fellow Daoist, it was indeed wrong of me to name the Six Soul Banner earlier, but the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation is what prevented the Xiqi army from attacking Chaoge, and it is also what prevented your Chan Sect from being trapped by the Jie Sect. I hope you will think carefully about which is more important.”
As the guide was speaking, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation began to tremble.
The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.
Cracks appeared in the ground, and people kept falling into them. It was as if another layer of sky had appeared above the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, with dark, rolling clouds pressing down.
Extremely forceful, as if trying to squeeze them together and flatten them.
The Supreme Sage's flat cane slammed into the ground with a thud, then rose up to support the sky.
The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi of the Primordial Celestial Venerable pressed down on the ground.
It took the combined efforts of the two sages to stabilize the Myriad Immortals Formation, which was about to devour everything.
Just as they were each caught up in their own predicament, the Daoist Zhunti finally burst into laughter:
"Hahaha, senior brother, now no one can stop us!"
Taishang and Yuanshi need to stabilize the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. Zhen Yuanzi is not a saint, so at this moment, the Book of Earth is protecting itself.
How could the Jade Emperor, who was the only one who posed a slight threat, possibly be a match for the two of them?
The Guide also laughed.
"You wouldn't believe it, would you? The Three Pure Ones have been so proud for countless years, but now you're hindering each other and are about to hand over all your disciples to my Western Paradise."
The eyes of the Primordial Celestial Venerable darkened:
"Jieyin, what do you mean by this?!"
“Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, if you withdraw your magic power now, all the Daoists in this Ten Thousand Immortals Formation will be burned to ashes by the Tongtian Sect Master’s formation in an instant.”
If the Supreme Sage were to withdraw, the sky of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation would collapse, and all these Taoists would be reduced to dust.
"It's a dead end anyway. If I take them to the Western Paradise and properly educate them, they might survive, right? In that case, the two saints will have done a good deed."
The Primordial Celestial Venerable looked on with disdain.
Although they knew long ago that Jieyin and Zhunti were making the Qiankun Bag to kidnap the disciples of the Jie Sect, the eldest brother, the Supreme Sage, worked day and night to refine a pill that could share the Qi. They never expected that the Western Sect would have such a big appetite.
They even wanted to take away the disciples of the Chan Sect.
"Aren't you afraid that after I leave the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, I'll raze your Western Sect to the ground?"
The Guide Daoist simply smiled:
"After the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, will any of you be able to emerge?"
