Entering the Investiture of the Gods, starting by controlling the three calamities of wind and thund

Chapter 87: A Battle of Magical Formations – Capture the King First to Capture the Thieves!

"Are we spreading rumors?"

"You disciples of the Chan Sect descended the mountain to aid Xiqi, defying the ruler and his subjects." They raised the banner of rebellion against the Shang dynasty, and to the Shang dynasty, they were all traitors and rebels.

"You have relied on your supernatural powers and magical treasures to bully my disciples. Today, I will teach you a lesson: there are always people more powerful than you!"

"We have descended the mountain today solely to challenge you to a duel. The ten of us have set up a grand formation here to fight against your Chan Sect. Anyone who enters this formation will face certain death!"

"If your Chan Sect can break through the ten formations, we will stop here; if we suffer calamity, then it is the will of Heaven!"

"What do you all think?"

Qin Wan immediately spoke to Ziya.

"Since you have this intention, fellow Daoist, how could I dare disobey? It is merely a contest of magic between cultivators of the two sects. We disciples of the Chan Sect have never been inferior to anyone in our lives!"

Ziya immediately spoke up, saying that these ten Heavenly Kings had come with ill intentions and had set up the Ten Deadly Formations here, intending to destroy the foundation of Xiqi. Did they really think that their Chan Sect had no experts?

"Jiang Ziya!"

"We, the ten of us, have already set up the Ten Deadly Formations here. I wonder which of you from Xiqi dares to come and break them!"

Qin Wan pointed to the Ten Deadly Formations and immediately spoke.

Having said that, the Ten Heavenly Lords entered the formation and activated it. Instantly, gloomy clouds gathered and cold mist drifted in.

A flash of murderous light shot into the sky, accompanied by a mournful wind. Dozens of black wisps of energy rose into the heavens, enveloping the central command tent. Everyone who witnessed this was astonished.

All the disciples of the Chan Sect remained silent.

"These ten deadly formations cover a region of heaven and earth, each with its own unique variations. They conceal deadly intents, are enhanced by the primordial earth veins, and possess boundless power from heaven and earth."

"Breaking through this formation will be extremely difficult!"

Xin Huan stood in front of the formation and looked at the Ten Deadly Formations. These ten Heavenly Lords were highly skilled in the art of formations, and the Ten Deadly Formations they set up were enough to kill even Golden Immortals.

Even if Taiyi were to enter, he would likely be covered in dust and grime. Without a protective spiritual treasure, he might also suffer.

"Now that the Ten Deadly Formations have been activated, fellow Daoists, do any of you dare to enter and take a look?"

Qin Wan immediately spoke to Ziya.

"I've learned my lesson!"

Ziya nodded, and then immediately brought Nezha, Huang Tianhua, Xin Huan, and Yang Jian, four of his disciples, to come and see the battle.

The four entered and saw that each formation had raised a large plaque, on which were the names of the various formations.

After Ziya finished reading, he returned to the front of the battle.

Qin Wan asked, "Does Ziya recognize this formation?"

Jiang Ziya, not wanting to diminish the reputation of the Chan Sect, immediately said, "I already know all ten formations."

Yuan Tianjun then asked, "Do you think you can break the formation?"

"Breaking the formation is not difficult."

Upon seeing this, Yuan Tianjun sneered.

But then he said, "Jiang Shang, you have quite the nerve! When will you come to break the formation?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya remained expressionless.

He immediately added, "This formation is not yet complete. Inform us again in writing when you have finished!"

"We will come to break the formation at that time."

"Fellow Daoists, Jiang Shang bids you farewell!"

Ziya slowly bowed, and then, under the protection of the four people, slowly walked out of the Ten Deadly Formations.

Upon returning to Xiqi, everyone remained silent.

Jiang Shang frowned, feeling sullen.

"This Ten Deadly Formations is extremely dangerous. Even Golden Immortals would be in danger of annihilation if they entered. Among our Xiqi generals, only Yang Jian and Xin Huan have attained the status of Immortal Golden Immortals. Now that the Ten Deadly Formations are before us, how can we possibly break them?"

Ziya was deeply worried. Even if they risked their lives, their Xiqi side didn't have that many Golden Immortals!

"Within the Ten Deadly Formations, deadly danger lurks!"

"To break this great formation, we must first eliminate the malevolent energy within it, severing the innate malevolent energy. Only then will we have a chance to break the formation and achieve complete success!"

Xin Huan immediately spoke up, and everyone fell silent. This was a suicide mission!

"You mean, we're going to use people as sacrifices in this battle?"

Yang Jian looked at Xin Huan and understood the meaning behind it, but soon everyone fell into a long silence.

"This is an extraordinary plan. Entering the Tribulation to Become a God, starting by controlling the three calamities of wind and thunder—this is extremely treacherous. We must carefully consider this matter and refrain from harming our fellow disciples."

Ziya immediately spoke up, saying that this Ten Deadly Formations was extremely dangerous, and it would be difficult to break through without a cultivator performing a ritual to activate the formation.

"Ugh!"

"The only problem is the lack of manpower. Although there are many disciples of the Chan Sect in Xiqi, there are no Taoist masters to oversee things, and it's difficult to find a virtuous person to take on the responsibility of overthrowing the Shang!"

Ziya immediately spoke, then sighed.

"Uncle-Master!"

"Why don't you go to Jade Void Palace and invite some experts from your sect to break this Ten Deadly Formations?"

Yang Jian immediately suggested that since they couldn't fight, they should go and call for reinforcements. After all, there were many Taoist masters in the Chan Sect, and if Jiang Shang went, they could persuade them to join.

"Enough, enough!"

"This is the only way forward for now."

After much deliberation, Ziya still lacked the confidence to confront the Ten Deadly Formations head-on, and planned to seek reinforcements from his sect.

Meanwhile, within the Shang army's camp.

Grand Tutor Wen was discussing important military matters with the Ten Heavenly Kings when Yao Heavenly King suddenly slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"Brother Dao!"

"That Jiang Shang hasn't even achieved immortality yet; he's merely a mere wandering immortal. How dare he be so arrogant!"

"Today I'm going to teach him a lesson."

Among the Ten Heavenly Kings, Yao Tianjun is as fiery as fire.

Today, everyone was quite angered by Ziya's sharp tongue. Upon returning, he immediately flew into a rage, intending to give Ziya a taste of his own medicine and let him know his methods.

The crowd began to discuss, each offering their own opinion. Although Jiang Shang was a second-generation disciple, his skills were indeed meager, and now he had offended these ten people, which was a serious offense!

"Cough cough~"

"That Jiang Shang is a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, and also a personal disciple of the Second Master. His status is extraordinary!"

Wen Zhong immediately said that if we were to talk about seniority, he was still a notch below Jiang Shang, since the three religions and the Xuanmen sect were all one family, and seniority was something that was predetermined by fate.

"So what if you're of a higher generation?"

"Jiang Shang's immortality is still in its infancy, his spirit only just beginning to coalesce. This humble Taoist can take his life with a mere flick of his wrist!"

Lord Yao Tianjun, in his dejected state, immediately spoke.

"That Jiang Shang is so confident and fearless; he probably has some underhanded tricks up his sleeve. Why don't we strike first?"

"If he finds a weakness, or goes back to the mountain to bring reinforcements, then we will be at a disadvantage."

Qin Wan added that he planned to strike first.

"Brother Dao!"

"I'm afraid you're overthinking it."

"Jiang Shang has not yet achieved immortality, his skills are mediocre, and he is only a mortal with mortal eyes. How could he possibly see through the Ten Deadly Formations? However, what you said makes a lot of sense!"

"If Jiang Shang brings reinforcements, we'll be in big trouble. The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect are all Great Luo Immortals. If they arrive, the outcome will be uncertain!"

The other nine immediately spoke up. They weren't afraid of Jiang Shang, but they still had to show respect to the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, since they were twelve Great Luo Golden Immortals.

"good!"

"Then let's strike first. Once I make my move and slay Jiang Shang's three souls and seven spirits, I can send him to the Yellow Springs, ensuring he can never be reincarnated!"

Yao Tianjun immediately said that he had learned from Grand Tutor Wen that Jiang Shang had performed a ritual to bring down heavy snow in Qishan, which resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers.

"Such great kindness!"

"If we eliminate Jiang Ziya, Xiqi will collapse without a fight, and then we can achieve our goal."

Grand Tutor Wen immediately spoke up. He had been planning to do just that, intending to eliminate Jiang Ziya and bring Xiqi under his control.

"Okay, okay!"

"This method is brilliant. If successful, it can subdue the enemy without a fight, achieving two goals at once!"

After discussing for a moment, the group decided to kill Jiang Ziya first, because to catch the thief, you must first catch the king; you have to pick the softest persimmon to squeeze!

"Haha, that's incredibly kind!"

"That Jiang Ziya, so arrogant and disdainful of us, deserves his bad luck today!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and they immediately agreed.
