Chapter 78 The Three Churches Break the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, the Three Pure Ones Are Gon
The Primordial Celestial Venerable departed quickly and returned just as quickly.
A moment later, someone came from outside to report: "The Daoist Zhunti from the Western Sect has arrived!"
Laozi hurriedly descended from Lupeng to greet them, and saw that the figures of Yuanshi Tianzun and Zhunti Jieyin had already appeared below Lupeng.
The three sages had different expressions at this moment. Zhunti and Jieyin were beaming with joy, having swept away their previous gloomy and bitter look, while Yuanshi Tianzun looked rather unpleasant.
Clearly, the price he paid for going to the Western Regions to ask these two Western Saints for help was considerable.
As Laozi's thoughts raced, he invited the three sages to the pavilion, where they sat down and he smiled, saying:
"The two Western Daoist friends have come here for nothing other than to break the Immortal Slaughtering Formation."
"I was just about to ask for your help when you arrived first, which is perfectly in accordance with the will of Heaven! It's truly wonderful!"
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun first glanced at his elder brother.
What does it mean to come uninvited?
In order to get Zhunti and Jieyin to come and help, he promised a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and a tree of immortal apricots.
Of course, we can't just say that the two brothers joined forces with outsiders, that they were fraternal enemies, and that they were going to break the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
Taiqing's words are nothing more than rhetoric.
Zhunti smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, my Western Flower blooms and everyone sees me, so I have not met anyone destined to meet me in the Southeast."
Several times, hundreds of red wisps of energy shot into the sky from the southeast and two other places, indicating that there was a connection between them.
"I have come here because I have the opportunity to connect with the Western Dharma, and therefore I have not hesitated to travel this long distance to meet with my fellow disciples of the Intercepting Sect."
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun felt somewhat annoyed.
This Zhunti is truly shameless, demanding exorbitant prices on the spot. Even the treasures he promised couldn't satisfy his appetite.
They even set their sights on the disciples of the Jie Sect, wanting to convert them to the West.
It should be noted that the Three Pure Ones have not yet completely broken ties. If the disciples of the Jie Sect are converted to the Western Regions, the fortunes of both the Human Sect and the Chan Sect will likely suffer considerable losses.
Moreover, the rise of Western religions will likely be unstoppable.
"Your arrival today is a sign from Heaven."
Taiqing Laozi readily agreed, leaving Yuanshi Tianzun with no room for further discussion.
Unexpectedly, Zhunti continued, "There are four precious swords within this formation, all of them innate treasures. I wonder how they ended up under the control of the Jie Sect?"
Even the Heavenly Saint, Yuanshi Tianzun, was enraged. Not only did he want to convert the disciples of the Jie Sect, but he also set his sights on the Four Swords of Zhuxian.
However, Taiqing Laozi seemed oblivious and said with a smile, "Back then, there was a treasure cliff, and my master distributed the treasure to suppress all sides."
Later, these four swords were obtained by my virtuous brother Tongtian, and I know he will use them to cause trouble today. Although the immortals are in distress, it was destined that this would happen.
"Your arrival is timely, fellow Daoist. If we can break this formation, the Four Swords of Zhuxian will be at our disposal, and we disciples of the three sects will have to rely entirely on our own abilities!"
Zhunti was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Now that all four of my friends are here, we should break this formation immediately. Why are we still lingering in this mortal world?"
Taiqing Laozi said leisurely, "You should instruct your disciples to break the formation tomorrow."
Meanwhile, Yuanshi Tianzun summoned Yuding Zhenren, Daoxing Tianzun, Puxian Zhenren, and Chi... "You four, reach out your hands."
Yuanshi wrote a talisman in each of his palms: "When you see thunder and flames rising from the formation, Ming and the others should take away his four swords. I have a wonderful use for them."
The four men accepted the order and went to stand in line.
The next day, when it was fully light.
Yuanshi Tianzun, along with several sages, had already gathered before the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
Looking at the four saints outside the formation, the Tongtian Sect Leader, though somewhat expecting it, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
He looked at Taiqing Laozi and said coldly, "Our brothers' dispute has been interfered with by outsiders!"
"Yuanshi, Li Dan, is this truly what you intend?"
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun laughed and said, "My brother is ignorant of the will of Heaven and is using this evil formation to obstruct the great trend. I cannot allow it!"
"Now the four of us are here to persuade you to end this battle properly and not cause any further trouble, what do you say?"
As a man of strong emotions, Tongtian Jiaozhu could not bear to hear Yuanshi Tianzun's words.
You, Li Dan, as the eldest of the Three Pure Ones, are biased towards Yuanshi Tianzun, which is one thing.
Now they've even colluded with outsiders to bully me; where is there any affection left?
The Tongtian Sect Leader, enraged, laughed and said, "Fine, since you, Yuanshi Li Dan, disregard the friendship between the Three Pure Ones!"
Our friendship as the Three Pure Ones is hereby severed. From now on, I will no longer bear the name of the Three Pure Ones. We three brothers are now completely cut off from all ties!
From this day forward, I, this humble Taoist, will be a disciple of the Jie Sect, no longer affiliated with the Shangqing Sect. May Heaven bear witness!
The Tongtian Sect Leader directly proclaimed to the Primordial Heavenly Dao that he intended to completely sever ties with Yuanshi Laozi.
The Celestial Lord of the Primordial Beginning's expression also changed, but what could he do now that things had come to this?
In order to ensure that his own Jade Void disciple could successfully overcome this great calamity, he would not regret it even if the Three Pure Ones were no more.
Taiqing Laozi, however, said solemnly, "Tongtian, are you really going to be so resolute?"
It's not too late to retract the oath to Heaven. Just add the disciples of the Jie Sect to the Investiture of the Gods list, and the great calamity will end on its own.
How could we, the Three Pure Ones, have stooped to such a state?
Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader laughed bitterly and said, "I originally thought that the discord among the Three Pure Ones was due to the Jade Purity Primordial Beginning!"
Now it seems that it's all because of a hypocrite like you, Li Dan!
My brother is in the wall; it's not my fault!
"The Three Pure Ones will never be restored, and their lineage will be severed!"
After being scolded by the Tongtian Sect Leader, Taishang was not angry. His first thought was whether he would be affected by the fact that the fortunes of the three religions were no longer connected.
However, after a moment's thought, he calmed down.
In the past, when the Jie Sect had ten thousand immortals paying homage, although the fortune was unstable, it was actually a good thing for the Chan and Ren sects.
After all, they are all four major schools of Taoism, and the Three Pure Ones are an integrated whole. The fortunes of the three schools are not independent, but interconnected.
The fortune of the Jie Sect was also flowing towards the Ren and Chan Sects, but at this time, the fortune of the Jie Sect was stable, so how could it share any benefits?
Most importantly, after this great calamity, how many members of your Jie Sect will be left?
At that point, they'll still be asking to come to our door.
Thinking of this, Taiqing Laozi also spoke up: "Very well, Tongtian, you were confused for a moment, so I won't blame you!"
If you ever need my help in the future, I will do my best to assist you out of consideration for our past relationship!
Even though Taiqing Laozi had gained some benefits, he was unwilling to push things to the extreme. However, to Tongtian Jiaozhu, these words sounded incredibly ironic.
Disappointment flashed across his face. "Fine! Fine! Fine! Let's settle this once and for all in the battle!"
After listening to the conversation between the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti glanced at Jieyin with barely perceptible eyes.
Jieyin responded with a slight nod, and then the two of them made no further move.
They awaited the orders from the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
After all, they were invited by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, so naturally they had to be given full respect.
That way, when the profits are divided up later, it will be easier to explain.
Seeing that the Three Pure Ones were no longer present, Yuanshi showed no mercy and said, "Elder brother, fellow Daoists, let the four of us each go to one side and break this formation!"
"Excellent!" the other three saints responded in unison.
Upon seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun felt a surge of joy.
With the three religions working together to break the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, this is a sure thing!
Having seen through the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, what other means does Tongtian have to prevent the disciples of the Intercepting Sect from making the list?
The next moment, Yuanshi Tianzun, with the auspicious clouds of the heavens above his head, had already stepped into the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
