People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chapter 387 Wu Na Shi Ji, how dare you be disrespectful to my master?

"How could this be?!"

"How could the Ten Deadly Formations have undergone such a change?!"

When the Taoist Ran Deng saw the changes in the Ten Deadly Formations, his expression changed drastically.

He never imagined that the Ten Deadly Formations not only had an illusion array outside the main formation to confuse those who entered, causing them to enter the wrong formation.

The ten formations of this Ten Deadly Formations can rotate at will, and their positions can change in an instant.

This caused the formation corresponding to the entrance of the grand formation to change, leading to an unexpected entry into the grand formation.

Judging from the current situation, none of Taiyi Zhenren and the others have entered the expected grand formation.

In that case, wouldn't all the ten people they spent hundreds of years finding who were skilled in performing rituals be completely useless?

Their targeted arrangements for the Ten Deadly Formations were ineffective, and instead, they were targeted by the Ten Heavenly Lords.

For example, the supernatural powers and magical treasures of the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra are somewhat effective against the Frost Array. If he were to deal with the Frost Array, he would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

But now, as the Ten Deadly Formations rotate, Master Puxian has entered the Blazing Flame Formation.

With Master Puxian's cultivation level, dealing with the Blazing Flame Array wouldn't be a problem, but it certainly wouldn't be as easy as dealing with the Frost Array.

Meanwhile, Lu Ya Daoist, who was in charge of dealing with the Blazing Flame Formation, was not as effective in the Frost Formation, and it took him longer to break the formation.

The biggest impact, however, comes from the three formations with Great Luo Golden Immortals presiding over them: the Golden Light Formation, the Heavenly Annihilation Formation, and the Earth-Splitting Formation.

Without a doubt, even though it is one of the Ten Deadly Formations, the presence of a Great Luo Golden Immortal makes it even more dangerous and more difficult to break.

After careful discussion, Daoist Ran Deng and his companions decided to have Guang Chengzi, Yun Zhongzi, and Ju Liusun take charge of the three great formations.

Now that the Ten Deadly Formations have shifted, these three formations have fallen to Taiyi Zhenren, Cihang Daoren, and Chijingzi.

Cihang Daoren and Chijingzi were in slightly better condition. As they were both among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, even if they couldn't break the formation, they should have no problem protecting themselves.

But Taiyi Zhenren was different. Back in Skull Mountain, he was nearly killed by Yang Xuan, which damaged his foundation.

Even though the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning obtained a spiritual elixir for him, his injuries have not yet healed, and he has also lost two useful spiritual treasures.

In this situation, putting him against the Golden Light Formation would obviously be fraught with danger.

Even with two Great Immortals traveling with him, and Nezha as someone to shield him from calamity, Daoist Ran Deng was still somewhat uneasy.

He did have ulterior motives, but he didn't dare let Taiyi Zhenren die like that.

The Chan Sect is not the Jie Sect. The Twelve Golden Immortals are the true foundation of the Chan Sect. It doesn't matter if all these unofficial members of the Chan Sect die.

The death of all three generations of Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect was actually better for him.

However, if the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were to die, it would alarm the Primordial Heavenly Lord, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

However, there is also an illusion array inside the Ten Deadly Formations, which isolates observation from the outside. Daoist Ran Deng, standing outside the Ten Deadly Formations, could not see what was happening inside.

Just as Daoist Ran Deng was at a loss for what to do, a completely different scene unfolded within the Ten Deadly Formations.

After Guang Chengzi and the others entered the formation, they discovered that the formation they were in was not the Heavenly Annihilation Formation or the Earthly Rift Formation.

They all frowned slightly, understanding the reason, and felt a bit uneasy.

Guang Chengzi, Yun Zhongzi, and Ju Liusun were particularly uneasy, as they were originally facing the three most dangerous formations: the Heavenly Annihilation Formation, the Golden Light Formation, and the Earth-Splitting Formation.

Now that they have failed to enter these three great formations, doesn't that mean that the Heavenly Annihilation Formation, the Golden Light Formation, and the Earth-Splitting Formation have fallen on the heads of other Chan Sect immortals?

"Quick victory!"

Guang Chengzi and the others' gazes sharpened. The Ten Deadly Formations had brought them too many surprises, making them uneasy.

They had no intention of testing the waters; they decided to break the formation as soon as possible and then go help the Chan Sect immortals in the other great formations.

They completely ignored the illusion array around them and immediately took out spiritual treasures such as the Heaven-Turning Seal, launching an indiscriminate attack on the array they were in.

The other immortals of the Chan Sect in the great formations, including Lu Ya, all made the same choice, intending to end the battle quickly and not give the Ten Heavenly Lords a chance to change their formations.

Only one person left, and that was Taiyi Zhenren.

Taiyi Zhenren was originally responsible for dealing with the Blood Transformation Array, but after entering with Qiao Kun, Nezha, and two Daluo Jinxian, they arrived in a vast world with forty-two golden suns hanging high in the sky.

Clearly, this is not a blood-transforming array, but a golden light array!
It is now one of the three most dangerous formations among the Ten Deadly Formations!

Taiyi Zhenren's expression changed slightly, but before he could think further, the space in front of him rippled like water, and a figure appeared in the void not far away.

This person was dressed in a moon-white flowing cloud-patterned dress, with light blue spirit stone patterns on the hem, and a translucent green jade pendant hanging at the waist. With each step, it seemed as if mountain mists were gently swirling around.

It is indeed Lady Shiji!

Upon seeing Taiyi Zhenren, a cold glint flashed in Shiji's eyes. She made no attempt to conceal her murderous intent and coldly smiled, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, it has truly been a long time."

“Back then, my cultivation was still shallow. You forced me with your Great Luo cultivation, and I had no choice.”

"Today, I am also a Great Luo Golden Immortal, so I will settle the karmic debt with you from that day and send your primordial spirit to the list!"

After saying that, Shi Ji stretched out her fair hands from her sleeves, and with a flick of her wrists, a crimson fire shield and a golden brick appeared in her hands.

When Taiyi Zhenren saw the two spiritual treasures, his eyes immediately turned red, and a look of shame and anger appeared on his face. His Dao heart was somewhat unstable.

He recalled how he had been beaten into a panic by Yang Xuan's incense-infused golden projection, and how Yang Xuan had forcibly taken away his Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and golden bricks.

The incident at Skull Mountain was originally Taiyi Zhenren's fault, and Yang Xuan had a legitimate reason to intervene.

Furthermore, after Yang Xuan seized the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the golden brick, he did not keep them for himself, but handed them over to Shi Ji as compensation for Taiyi Jinzhen's unjustified attack.

If Yuanshi Tianzun were to go to Shiji again to ask for these two spiritual treasures back, it would be a truly shameful thing.

It's estimated that the next day... no, it might not even be the next day, just the next moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader will use his saintly authority to spread this matter throughout the entire prehistoric world.

Let even newborn children know that Yuanshi Tianzun, a saint, went to a junior to ask for a spiritual treasure.

Yuanshi Tianzun, a man who values ​​his reputation so much, would never do such a thing.

The two magical treasures in Shi Ji's hands were none other than the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the Golden Brick of the Taiyi Zhenren.

Before she could even make a move, Shi Ji took out the spiritual treasure that had been with her for many years.

Regardless of the extent of the harm caused, the insult was considerable.

Seeing this, even Master Taiyi's Dao heart became somewhat unstable. He wanted to disregard everything, rush forward to kill Shiji, and reclaim the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the golden brick.

But in the end, he managed to control the impulse.

He knew that, given his current situation, it was best not to fight Shi Ji.

Taiyi Zhenren currently only has an advantage in cultivation level, but his spiritual treasures are inferior to Shiji's. Although Yuanshi Tianzun gave him two more high-grade innate spiritual treasures, both of which are fire-elemental spiritual treasures, they are still somewhat inferior to the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.

Moreover, he had been using the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the Golden Brick for many years, and they were the most convenient for him to use. He would need some time to get used to this new spiritual treasure.

However, what truly made him give up was not the Lingbao itself.

With Nezha right beside him, if a fight really broke out, he could retrieve his Fire-Tipped Spear and Universe Ring to fight back. It was hard to say who would win or lose.

What truly made him abandon the idea was that this was a golden light array, and there was also a Golden Light Holy Mother, who was also a Great Luo Golden Immortal, hiding in the shadows.

Lei Zhenzi and another immortal from the Chan Sect died in this golden light array, without even a chance to call for help.

Even with two Great Immortals by his side to help him, he was not confident of escaping safely.

Now that there's another ill-intentioned Shi Ji in the golden light array, he's even less likely to get entangled with her.

Even if we want to take back the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the gold bricks, that's not the time. The most important thing right now is to find a way to extricate ourselves from this situation.

The two Great Luo Golden Immortals standing to the side showed a hint of surprise when they saw Shi Ji take out the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the golden brick, and subconsciously glanced at Taiyi Zhenren.

The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the Golden Brick are two spiritual treasures that are famous throughout the primordial world and are the signature spiritual treasures of Taiyi Zhenren.

Within the circle of Great Luo Golden Immortals, he is known to everyone.

As beings from Kunlun Mountain and unofficial members of the Chan Sect, they naturally recognized the two magical treasures at a glance.

This puzzled them greatly; how could Taiyi Zhenren's most powerful spiritual treasure have fallen into Shiji's hands?

Judging from Shi Ji's appearance, it doesn't seem like the way Taiyi Zhenren lent her.

"Could it be that Master Taiyi suffered a setback at the hands of Shiji?"

"But how is that possible? According to Shi Ji, when Taiyi Zhenren clashed with Shi Ji, his cultivation level should have been higher than Shi Ji's, so how could he have been defeated by Shi Ji?"

"Could it be that they were encountered by inner disciples of the Jie Sect during the conflict, which is why Taiyi Zhenren suffered a setback and lost both the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the golden brick?"

The two Great Immortals' eyes flickered with curiosity.

However, Shi Ji did not publicize the matter of Skull Mountain, and Taiyi Zhenren was even less likely to mention it, so to this day no one knows about it.

They only discovered Taiyi Zhenren's injuries after he arrived in Xiqi.

As for the cause of the injury, they had no idea.

When they discovered that Taiyi Zhenren was injured, they were quite curious, as there were not many beings who could injure the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

On one hand, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect possessed profound cultivation, all being Great Luo Golden Immortals. In addition, they had mysterious supernatural powers and powerful spiritual treasures, making them the strongest group among all the Great Golden Immortals.

Even though Taiyi Zhenren was only a mid-stage Daluo Jinxian, ordinary late-stage Daluo Jinxian cultivators might not be his match.

On the other hand, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect are disciples of saints. To put it bluntly, even when beating a dog, one must consider its owner. Even if there is a conflict, it is unlikely that anyone would dare to seriously injure them.

Now that they heard Shi Ji say this, and that she was holding Taiyi Zhenren's Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and gold bricks, they became even more curious.

Just as they were filled with curiosity and Taiyi Zhenren was thinking about how to escape, Nezha took action first.

Nezha stepped forward, brandishing his spear in a graceful flourish, the tip pointing diagonally at Shiji, and shouted:

"You old hag, how dare you be so disrespectful to my master!"

Having said that, Nezha's Hun Tian Ling fluttered around him, holding the Qian Kun Quan in one hand and the Huo Jian Qiang in the other, and riding on the Feng Huo Lun, he transformed into a streak of fiery red light and flew towards Shi Ji.

Nezha's collection of magical treasures is so luxurious that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be envious. If he could unleash the full power of these treasures, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would have to temporarily avoid his attacks.

Because he knew something about Nezha, Taiyi Zhenren did not stop him and let Nezha fly towards Shiji, thinking that Nezha could entangle Shiji for a while, giving him some time to find an exit.

However, what happened next was completely unexpected by Taiyi Zhenren.

Just as Nezha flew to within a thousand meters of Shiji, Shiji threw out the gold brick in her hand, which hit Nezha directly in the face, distorting his face and causing blood to flow from his mouth and nose.

Even the joints of the limbs were smashed and cracked, and severely deformed.

Immediately afterwards, Nezha, accompanied by a miserable scream, was sent flying backward by the golden brick at an even faster speed, just like a tattered rag.

Whether it was due to the illusion array or some other reason, in the blink of an eye, Nezha disappeared without a trace, along with the Universe Ring, Fire-tipped Spear, Wind-Fire Wheels, and Hun Tian Ling.

"This little guy..."

Shi Ji stared in the direction where Nezha had disappeared, and with great effort, she managed to keep her expression from changing.

After a moment of silence, a look of admiration appeared on her face, and she said with regret:

"You are indeed a promising student who respects your teachers, but it's a pity that your cultivation is too low and your supernatural abilities are too poor." Shi Ji shook her head, turned to look at Taiyi Zhenren, and gave a cold smile.

"As expected of a disciple of the Chan Sect, you are blessed by the Chan Sect's fortune. Otherwise, how could someone of your character have received such a disciple?"

“Nezha following you is truly a pearl being buried in dust. If you teach him properly, with his magical treasures, he might be able to hold his own against me for a few moves.”

In the end, Shi Ji's face was full of disdain.

Taiyi Zhenren only then came to his senses, staring blankly in the direction where Nezha had disappeared, his expression bewildered.

"Nezha... just like that, he's defeated?"

Taiyi Zhenren was dumbfounded. He knew that Nezha could not possibly defeat Shiji, but he did not expect Nezha to be defeated so decisively.

If Nezha hadn't looked so miserable, he would have suspected that Nezha had deliberately let the gold brick hit him.

"Strange? Why can't I sense the Fire-Tipped Spear and the Universe Ring anymore? Could it be that Shi Ji knocked Nezha out of the Ten Deadly Formations with that attack?"

After sensing the surroundings, Taiyi Zhenren frowned slightly. None of the four magical treasures he had given to Nezha—the Universe Ring, the Fire-Tipped Spear, the Hun Tian Ling, and the Wind-Fire Wheels—had erased his own mark.

On the one hand, it was to allow Nezha to unleash the full power of these four magical treasures.

On the other hand, it was also so that if necessary, these four spiritual treasures could be retrieved to enhance one's own combat power.

Who would have thought that Nezha would be sent flying by Shiji with a single brick, losing everything, and taking those four powerful magical treasures with him, disappearing to who knows where.

Taiyi Zhenren was not at his peak, and in terms of spiritual treasures, he could not compare with Shiji's Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and Golden Brick.

If he can't retrieve the four magical treasures—the Universe Ring, the Fire-Tipped Spear, the Hun Tian Ling, and the Wind-Fire Wheels—he and Shi Ji will probably only be evenly matched.

Moreover, he is currently within the Golden Light Array, and the even more powerful Golden Light Mother is hiding somewhere.

"I must leave as soon as possible, or I might really die here!"

Taiyi Zhenren looked serious, keeping a close watch on Shiji while searching for a way to break the deadlock.

But then, another unexpected change occurred...
