Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 403 The Immortal Slaughtering Formation and the Myriad Immortals Formation

heaven.

The Queen Mother of the West sat gracefully on her phoenix throne, watching the commotion in the mortal realm with a slight smile on her face. She had only given Sun Wukong a hint, but he had actually gone in to take advantage of her, and now he had caused a scene in front of Gu Qing, unable to resolve the situation. The Queen Mother of the West felt a sense of satisfaction just thinking about it.

Gu Qing, I will make you a laughingstock throughout the Three Realms...

Dongsheng Shenzhou.

A bright red pearl shot towards Gu Qing.

Although Gu Qing was joking with Yao Ji, he was constantly aware of the surrounding movements. He was alert when the pearl flew towards him. When it was right in front of him, Gu Qing did not move. The pearl naturally caught fire and turned to ashes.

"Little sister, your pearl won't do. Look at my Sun and Moon Pearl!"

A sharp cry came from afar. As soon as one pearl was destroyed, another one arrived. This new pearl was radiant and smooth all over. It flew straight towards Gu Qing before he could defend himself. Yang Chan, who was beside him, held the Lotus Lantern and let it shine, blocking the pearl.

"Who are you?"

The Seventh Princess drew her sword, looked at the group of female immortals who had appeared before her, and shouted a question.

"A princess from Heaven?"

The Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit from the Intercepting Sect recognized the Seventh Princess's identity and laughed, "We won't do anything, we'll just strip your man's clothes off."

Beside the Holy Mother Guiling were the Holy Mother Jinling of the Jie Sect, the Holy Mother Wudang, the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao, and Fairy Caiyun. Upon hearing the Holy Mother Guiling's words, these fairies either blushed with shyness or were beaming with pride.

If you want to take my clothes off, let's go somewhere else. You don't even need to force me; I'll take them off myself...

Gu Qing thought to himself, but with a serious expression, he said, "We have no grudges from the past, nor any enmity with each other recently. Why do you fairies want to make things difficult for me?"

"Because you made that monkey call us Mom."

The Holy Mother of Wudang said with a cold face.

After saying this, Lady Yunxiao pointed to the sky, and the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron appeared in mid-air, drawing Gu Qing in.

The Holy Mother Guiling activated the Sun and Moon Pearl, the Holy Mother Wudang swept her whisk, and the Holy Mother Jinling rode the Seven Fragrance Chariot, wielding a long sword, and attacked Gu Qing together.

...It turns out it was all Sun Wukong's sweet talk that caused the trouble.

Gu Qing circulated the power of the sun within his body and looked at the many female immortals before him. If this were the primordial world, these female immortals would probably be at the level of Great Luo or Quasi-Saint. Gu Qing would have to take a detour if he saw one of them. But this was the Lotus Lantern. These female immortals had extremely powerful titles, but they were not Golden Immortals. Instead, they were at the Heavenly Immortal level. Gu Qing was not afraid of anyone.

A rising sun slowly ascended behind Gu Qing, bringing with it his rising aura. Gazing at the precious pearl, magic sword, and whisk before him, Gu Qing clenched his fist and charged in. Yao Ji, Yang Chan, and the Seventh Princess were about to lend their support when suddenly everything was bathed in golden light, obscuring their vision. They could only hear the deafening clangs of objects colliding. When their vision returned, Gu Qing was high in the sky. The charging Wudang Holy Mother had been punched in the nose, and the Guiling Holy Mother's immortal robes faintly glowed with fire. As for the Jinling Holy Mother, she hadn't suffered any losses in the battle.

"Let Gu Qing do it herself."

Although Yao Ji was unclear about what had happened, she was certain that Gu Qing could handle the situation on his own.

"So, do you want to come up again?"

Gu Qing raised his fist.

Since Sun Wukong calls them "Mom," then he must have some affection for Gu Qing. This wife is not virtuous and deliberately throws punches.

"Gu Qing, don't be so smug!"

Bixiao shouted, and the Three Immortal Maidens were arranged in a formation. No further preparation or soldiers were needed. The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was already in operation, and billowing yellow sand blew up from the water, enveloping Gu Qing.

Qiongxiao, sword in hand, thrust towards Gu Qing amidst the rolling yellow sand.

“Dududududu…”

Amidst the yellow sand, energy surged in all directions. In the dim light, Gu Qing extended two fingers, engaging in a fierce battle with Qiong Xiao, leaping high and low. Yun Xiao, standing outside the formation, saw this and activated the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, enveloping Gu Qing. However, although Gu Qing was bewildered by the yellow sand and the formation was bent, he was still inside the formation and seemed to know everything outside. The Hunyuan Golden Cauldron missed its target repeatedly.

"boom!"

Qiongxiao was struck squarely in the face, causing her nose to bleed profusely, her hair to become disheveled, her cheeks to turn crimson like peach blossoms, and her eyes to turn bloodshot. She drew her sword, ready to fight Gu Qing again.

"Fairy, your swordsmanship is absolutely terrible!"

Gu Qing started out using swords, and even in the world of immortals and heroes, he never neglected his swordsmanship. Seeing Qiong Xiao's repeated attacks, he raised his finger to snatch the sword and struck again. Amidst the rolling yellow sand, there was a "smack" sound, and Qiong Xiao was hit in the head by another punch.

The two consecutive punches left her dizzy and disoriented. Seeing that Gu Qing was about to throw another punch, Qiongxiao panicked and rushed out of the formation.

"Sister, I'll be there to meet you!"

Upon seeing this, Bixiao drew her sword to meet the attack. Just as Qiongxiao stepped out of the formation, before Bixiao could block her, Gu Qing's fist came straight at her, slamming heavily into Bixiao's face. Instantly, her face was filled with sourness and bitterness. Before Bixiao could react, she became dizzy and fell into the water.

"Little sister!"

Yunxiao shouted anxiously, looking at Gu Qing in front of him with resentment in his heart. He immediately unleashed his true skills, with sword shadows flying everywhere, like the rolling Yellow River, trying to force Gu Qing back into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

Gu Qing stood in front of him, neither dodging nor retreating.

Yunxiao attacked in anger. When he saw that Gu Qing did not dodge, he was afraid that he would kill Gu Qing with one blow. So he held back some of his strength. However, the sword was so sharp that it eventually pierced through Gu Qing's body.

"what?"

Yunxiao realized something was wrong and felt a push on his back, causing him to take two steps forward uncontrollably.

"Fairy, you flatter me."

Gu Qing clasped his hands in a fist salute towards the sky.

What Yunxiao just stabbed was a phantom left behind by Gu Qing.

Yunxiao's eyes dimmed slightly, knowing that if Gu Qing hadn't held back, she would surely have died.

"I will go back to the mountain with my sisters."

Yunxiao said, "If the skill isn't good enough, then I won't come out and embarrass myself."

"Go into seclusion and we'll spar again when you come out."

Gu Qing chatted casually with Yunxiao for a couple of minutes, then turned around and looked at Jinling Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu, and Caiyun Xianzi.

"Gu Qing!"

As the eldest disciple, Jinling Shengmu naturally took the lead and shouted, "Let's fight it out!"

Gu Qing looked at the Golden Spirit Mother, who, after the Investiture of the Gods, became Doumu Yuanjun.

"How do you define winning or losing?"

Gu Qing asked.

"Let me tell you!"

"Golden Spirit Mother said proudly, 'You bunch of women want to strip me, but with Yang Chan and the Seventh Princess here, I won't...'"

Gu Qing had a sudden thought and said, "In this world, the phoenix sings on Mount Qi, and the mandate of heaven belongs to Zhou. King Zhou's perverse actions cannot last long. If you win, you can strip me of my clothes if you want. If I win, then you must take them and go into seclusion in peace and not concern yourself with the matter of overthrowing King Zhou."

Gu Qing spoke frankly and openly, seemingly considering the human world, Yang Jian, and the great calamity of the gods, as if he wanted to reduce the calamity for the human world with his own strength.

But the Queen Mother couldn't sit still.

Gu Qing only needs to cause trouble, but the Queen Mother has many more considerations.

If these female immortals are missing from the Investiture of the Gods list, who will fill the missing spots?

While the Queen Mother was considering, Gu Qing and the Golden Spirit Mother had already clashed. This senior sister of the Jie Sect was radiating immortal light, and her attacks were fierce. The Jie Sect's methods were best at offense and were invincible. With a flick of her wrist, all sorts of wonderful techniques followed, such as heavenly thunder or raging fire. Among them, there were also the mysteries of the Milky Way's operation.

These layers upon layers of celestial light resembled a quagmire or emptiness, yet they also possessed a wondrous working principle. Gu Qing and the Golden Spirit Mother exchanged attacks in succession, but amidst these constant clashes, Gu Qing was completely unable to grasp the Golden Spirit Mother's tactics.

However, Gu Qing was already skilled in this kind of combat. His palm techniques flowed, and all sorts of mysteries came one after another. His moves were sometimes three feints and one real, or nine feints and one real, along with the mysteries of the Seventy-Two Transformations, the Eight-Nine Heavenly Skill, and the Nine Returns Sun Scripture. Before Gu Qing could unleash his full power, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

"Go!"

Golden Spirit Mother suddenly attacked, her killing intent surging forth. This flick of her finger was aimed directly at Gu Qing's chest.

At the same time, during the previous exchange of blows, the scattered points of light spread out in all directions, intertwining to form a large array. Although it only slightly trapped Gu Qing, it also brought the killing move to his front.

"The power of the Nine Suns!"

Gu Qing raised his hand, and the Nine Returns Sun True Scripture was activated once again. The Golden Crow Formation was arranged within his body, and the blazing light condensed into a fist, which he used to strike the Golden Spirit Mother's finger-flicking attack and the figure behind her!

"Crash..."

A series of tremors emanated from the void, as if something tangible or intangible was collapsing. When the punch reached the Golden Spirit Mother, she smiled and raised her hand to meet it.

Gu Qing's fist contained the power of the Nine Yangs.

The palm strike of the Golden Spirit Mother is the void, an emptiness.

This use of illusion against reality should have caused the Golden Spirit Mother to cough up blood and fly away, but Gu Qing felt as if the Golden Spirit Mother's hand was empty space, allowing Gu Qing's magic power to flow infinitely, while stars lit up in the surrounding void.

Taiji gives rise to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang transform into the Four Symbols, the Four Symbols transform into the Eight Trigrams, and then come the Nine Luminaries and the Twenty-Eight Mansions.

All of this is the secret of the Jie Sect's Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. As the senior sister of the Jie Sect, the Golden Spirit Mother manipulates the stars with every move, and in her moves, she reveals the secrets of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, trapping Gu Qing within it.

As the stars began to twinkle, Gu Qing's situation worsened.

"Take off his clothes!"

Seeing all this, Bixiao touched her slapped face, gritted her teeth in hatred, and shouted loudly.

With a smile on her lips, the Golden Spirit Mother met Gu Qing's eyes, about to declare victory, when suddenly her expression changed. She pushed him away, causing the Milky Way to reverse its flow. Gu Qing, riddled with holes, turned into a ball of flame and gradually dissipated. Looking around again, she saw only a white mist. Above the vast East Sea, seven-colored light had gathered at some unknown time.

"Tianji Lock!"

Gu Qing appeared in a certain place and looked at the Golden Spirit Mother. Having learned the method of creating clones in this world, he could set up many formations by himself. Before fighting the Golden Spirit Mother, Gu Qing had already created clones and activated the "Heavenly Lock" of the Immortal Slaughtering World to collect the evil energy of the world. Then, Gu Qing's true body opened the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

During the Investiture of the Gods war, it was Guang Chengzi and others who wielded the Zhuxian Sword and cut down the Jie Sect members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

Gu Qing's current operation of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation can be considered a kind of reincarnation.

Gu Qing stood atop the waves, seven-colored light gathering in his hand. At this moment, Gu Qing and the Golden Spirit Mother were separated by a hundred miles, but amidst the gathering light, the Golden Spirit Mother could already sense Gu Qing's sword, placed before her throat.

"Wow..."

With a flick of his wrist, Gu Qing unleashed a blinding white sword beam that stretched endlessly, reaching everywhere. Gu Qing had merely made a "slash" motion, and the surrounding malevolent energy had already transformed into sword beams, which joined together at that moment, directly tearing apart the Golden Spirit Mother's "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation".

The sea churns, and stars rain down.

Gu Qing, wielding the gleaming white sword energy, flew towards the Golden Spirit Mother. This layered defense was utterly devastating. The Golden Spirit Mother used a thousand different techniques, but in the end, the gleaming sword energy was positioned directly in front of her neck.

"Lost..."

The Golden Spirit Mother's eyes were empty.

As the eldest disciple of Lingbao Tianzun, Jinling Shengmu was a favored daughter of heaven. After joining the Jiejiao sect, it was like Qin Shi Huang taking an elevator – she won from the start. She won all the way, and victory was a matter of course for her. She never thought about losing.

"Let's go back."

Gu Qing sheathed his sword, the white light dissipated, and said, "For the sake of all living beings, don't get involved with King Zhou... The people of this world are already unlucky enough to have one Jade Emperor, and now they've been burdened with another King Zhou..."

Gu Qing shook his head and sighed, looking as if he were deeply concerned about the country and its people.

After the Golden Spirit Mother lost, the female immortals of the Jie Sect all lowered their heads and looked down, no longer displaying their previous arrogance. They came to the Golden Spirit Mother and offered some words of comfort, hoping that this battle would not affect the Golden Spirit Mother's Dao heart.

"If you lose, you lose."

Golden Spirit Mother shook her head and said to Gu Qing, "I keep my word and will lead them into seclusion. No matter what happens in the war against King Zhou, I will not let them come out."

Gu Qing looked at the female immortal in front of him with satisfaction. He hadn't settled things with the people around him yet, so he would keep these ones in the fishpond for now.

"Actually, the Jade Emperor and King Zhou deserve one-third of the credit for my victory in this battle."

Gu Qing comforted the Golden Spirit Mother, saying, "My move draws on the malevolent energy of heaven and earth. The Jade Emperor and King Zhou have acted perversely, causing chaos in the world, widespread suffering, and resentment throughout the land. Therefore, my move is extremely powerful. Once you emerge from seclusion, King Zhou will have fallen, the malevolent energy of the world will have dissipated, and perhaps I will no longer be your match."

Gu Qing's statement was reasonable and well-founded.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit smiled bitterly, as if accepting this explanation, and led her sisters back to the mountain.

At this moment, Gu Qing's gaze sharpened. A stone a thousand miles away was illuminated by the sunlight. Sun Wukong jumped out, somersaulted forward, and looked at Gu Qing with embarrassment.

His original intention was just to get some benefits, and these female immortals were simple-minded. Sun Wukong even tried to win them over, but he didn't expect to cause trouble for Gu Qing.

"How did you manage to offend them?"

Gu Qing asked.

"It's a woman..."

Sun Wukong immediately revealed the Queen Mother's appearance.

The Queen Mother in Heaven had turned pale.

She sent Sun Wukong to the Jie Sect's side, intending to involve Gu Qing in the Investiture of the Gods war. However, she didn't expect that after a round of fighting, some members of the Jie Sect would remain uninvolved.

She caused an accident during the entire Investiture of the Gods war.

"Headache……"
