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

Chapter 417 The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation rises, killing intent spreads throughout the primordial world!

Jin'ao Island.

Inside Biyou Palace.

Purple mist rose, auspicious omens enveloped the area, and a cloud platform hung high in the void, upon which sat a young Taoist priest with a blue sword resting on his lap.

Below, Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, Holy Mother Guiling, Holy Mother Wudang, and a group of inner disciples knelt before the Daoist.
They touched their heads to the ground and shouted in unison:
"Master, please grant us justice!"

Duobao and Jinling, the two eldest disciples, spoke first, their faces grim and their teeth clenched:
"Master, to this day, the Chan Sect has completely disregarded the bonds of brotherhood and the loyalty to the Three Pure Ones, and is slaughtering my Jie Sect disciples indiscriminately."
Currently, 70% of the immortals of the Jie Sect have died at the hands of the Chan Sect. They have even resorted to bullying the weak, killing our disciples, leaving some with their primordial spirits on the list of dead, and others severely injured and on the verge of death.
"If we do not avenge this, our Dao hearts will surely be damaged. We beg our master to allow us to descend the mountain and fight the immortals of the Chan Sect!"

Upon hearing this, the Master of Heaven sighed inwardly, "So it has all come to this after all..."

He slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them, and surveyed Duobao and the others expressionlessly.

"I told you long ago that you should all go into seclusion to cultivate and silently recite two or three volumes of the Yellow Court Classic. Shen Gongbao can take charge of the Investiture of the Gods."

As it turned out, in the early stages of the Investiture of the Gods, some people outwardly complied but inwardly defied, feigning ignorance.

In recent years, things have become even more interesting. Some people descended the mountain at the urging of others, while others left on their own, only to suffer this calamity.
If none of these people hadn't experienced a perilous journey and gained a sliver of hope, they would all have perished!

Duobao and the others showed a look of guilt, knowing that they were in the wrong.

If Lingya Xian and the others hadn't pretended not to know and disrupted Shen Gongbao's rhythm, perhaps the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island wouldn't have been seriously injured and on the verge of death, and eight of the Ten Heavenly Lords wouldn't have made it onto the list.

If the Ten Heavenly Kings, Zhao Gongming, and others were still alive, the strength of the Jie Sect would have greatly increased, and they wouldn't have suffered such a great loss today.

Perhaps Wen Zhong and the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit will not be on the list, or they will be seriously injured.

To be honest, after learning about the situation of the Nine Provinces Conferring Gods, everyone present wished they could kill Lingya Xian and the others.

Now that things have come to this, who can't see that these people are the culprits behind the Jie Sect's calamity?

As a result, they were people who deserved to die, but they were reluctant to enter the tribulation, which ultimately led to this situation and caused heavy losses to the Jie Sect.

However, by the time they learned the whole story, Lingya Xian and the others were either on the list of those who had been listed, or had been taken away by the immortals of the Chan Sect, or were on their way to death. They had no chance to make a move.

All they can do now is to fight the immortals of the Chan Sect. They absolutely cannot let their fellow disciples and followers die tragically!
Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, and others remained kneeling on the ground, without uttering a sound.

The atmosphere in Biyou Palace became somber.

After a long while, the Master of Heaven finally let out a long sigh.

"You may leave. I will seek justice for you in this matter!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader knew the personalities of these inner disciples very well, and knew they wouldn't give up easily.

Even if Tongtian allows them to stay in the mountains, they will probably sneak down to challenge the Chan Sect.

Currently, all the immortals of the Chan Sect are injured. If Duobao and others come to the Nine Provinces, the Chan Sect will undoubtedly be defeated.

Guang Chengzi and the others were doomed to die. Furthermore, once they arrived in the Nine Provinces, calamity energy would invade their spiritual platforms. Once the great battle began, the effects of the calamity energy would be even more severe.

At this point, Duobao and his group will definitely be in a bloodthirsty frenzy, and half of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect will fall into their hands, causing the Chan Sect to suffer a great loss of strength.

If we were to say who understands Yuanshi Tianzun the most, Tongtian Jiaozhu would definitely be one of them.

Everyone knows that Yuanshi Tianzun values ​​his reputation most and would never bully the weak, but Tongtian Jiaozhu also knows that the Chan Sect is the very reputation that Yuanshi Tianzun cares about most.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect are the foundation of the Chan Sect, each representing the essence of Yuanshi Tianzun's (the Primordial Celestial Venerable's) life and work.
If more than half of the sect is killed or wounded, the Chan Sect will suffer a severe blow, which would be a slap in the face to Yuanshi Tianzun, and he would never allow such a thing to happen.

When the time comes, even if Yuanshi Tianzun is bullying the weak, he will still intervene against Duobao and the others to save Guangchengzi and the others.

At that time, the nature of the Investiture of the Gods calamity will be different, and the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect will have completely torn off their masks.

Since that's the case, why not skip these unnecessary respite measures and directly launch a holy war, setting up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation? This would at least give the Primordial Heavenly Lord a way out.

At this stage of the Investiture of the Gods, both the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect have lost a large number of immortals, and the karmic debts owed by the Xuanmen have been almost settled.

If Yuanshi Tianzun could break the Zhuxian Sword Formation, then the disciples of the Jie Sect would no longer travel to the Nine Provinces, acknowledging that the Chan Sect had won the Investiture of the Gods war.

However, the Jie Sect did not lose this doctrinal dispute. The fact that the Golden Light Mother, the Fire Spirit Mother, Zhao Gongming, and others were able to seize a glimmer of hope proved that the Tongtian Sect Leader's path was correct!

If Yuanshi Tianzun cannot break the Zhuxian Sword Formation, then Guangchengzi and the others will have to go to the Investiture of the Gods, which will also settle their karma with the Jie Sect.

As for the upcoming Investiture of the Gods, Tongtian Jiaozhu didn't care too much. The Jie Sect had already obtained most of the benefits it could. If Yuanshi Tianzun wanted some fame, then he could have it.

The Zhuxian Sword Formation cannot be broken by anyone other than the Four Sages. Even if Yuanshi Tianzun had the Pangu Banner in his hand, he could not break the Zhuxian Sword Formation by himself.

But the Tongtian Sect Leader still felt a vague unease in his heart.

Although setting up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was a way to give Yuanshi Tianzun a way out, it also prevented the Chan Sect from suffering a major blow to its vitality and foundation.

However, the Tongtian Sect Leader knew that Yuanshi Tianzun valued his reputation too much, and that the person who broke the Zhuxian Sword Formation might not be just Yuanshi Tianzun alone.

"Senior brother, I have already given you a way out. I hope you can also put aside that unnecessary pride..."

The Master of Heaven glanced in the direction of Kunlun Mountain, then transformed into a wisp of pure energy and disappeared, arriving above Jiepai Pass.
With a gentle wave of his sleeve, he sent away all living beings inside and outside Jiepai Pass. He then took out the Immortal Slaughtering Array Diagram and merged it into the void, connecting the earth veins of the Nine Provinces to form a vast array spanning hundreds of millions of miles and forming its own independent space.

Then he took out the Four Swords of Zhuxian and placed them in the four directions of east, south, west, and north, hanging them above the array gate.

At this point, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was complete, and endless killing intent soared into the sky.

Even during the Great Tribulation, when the secrets of Heaven were not revealed, the boundless killing intent released by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation still swept across the entire prehistoric world in an instant.

Whether they were in seclusion or fighting, upon sensing this killing intent, their bodies trembled slightly, and their faces showed fear.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more pronounced this feeling becomes.

Wa Palace.

Nuwa glanced at the direction of Jiepai Pass, then looked away and continued to survey the primordial land.

After learning about the matter of souls and demons from Yang Xuan, Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao) went to the Marriage Palace.

Tell the Old Man of the Moon about this, and ask Nuwa to keep an eye on the primordial land to see if she can find any trace of the chaotic gods and demons.

It would be best if we could make a discovery, but if we couldn't, there's no loss; it's always good to be prepared.

That's right, the matchmaker in the Marriage Palace is the reincarnation of Nuwa's benevolent self!
If Yang Xuan knew the true identity of the Old Man of the Moon, he would understand why he could not complete the granting of the Old Man of the Moon's title every time he wanted to do so, due to various accidents, such as forgetting or being unable to leave. This was because he was blessed with good fortune and sought good luck while avoiding misfortune.

Even a saint with a good corpse is still a saint, whose status is extremely high, far surpassing that of a quasi-saint, and even a near-saint is inferior to him.

If the Old Man of the Moon were to grant him a pardon, even if Nuwa had not intended to make things difficult for her, her fortune would still be damaged, and she would be scared half to death.

As both being saints and residing in the Heavenly Court, Yang Xuan was unaware of the Old Man Under the Moon's true identity, so how could Laozi not know?
There were two reasons why Laozi chose to ask Nuwa for help.

Firstly, Nuwa possessed remarkable cultivation, ranking high among the Six Sages of Heaven, and her strength was considerable.

Secondly, Nuwa was a suitable candidate.

Among the Six Sages of Heaven, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu had a struggle over the Great Dao.

There will definitely be a great war in the future, which may also become an opportunity for the evolution of the three realms in the primordial world. They certainly won't be able to spare any attention for this matter.

It is common knowledge that the two Western Saints have ulterior motives. Even if you go to Mount Sumeru to find them, they will play the victim and make all sorts of excuses.

The Sage of Taiqing needs to keep an eye on Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu to prevent these two junior brothers from getting into a real fight.

So, by all accounts, only Nuwa has the most free time. Aside from arranging marriages for no reason, she mostly just watches over her disciples and grand-disciples in the Shang army camp.

Letting her do this is indeed the best choice.

Nuwa could not possibly refuse a matter of life and death concerning the primordial world.

Over the years, Nuwa only noticed some unusual things, but did not find any trace of the Chaos Gods and Demons.

Nuwa was not disappointed. The discovery of these anomalies proved Yang Xuan's words: some of the three thousand gods and demons who died at the hands of Pangu had indeed awakened.

Although we don't know if those gods and demons have been resurrected, where they are now, or what their purpose is.

However, one thing is certain: the existence of these chaotic gods and demons is a potential scourge to the primordial world.

The future evolution of the Three Realms in the primordial world is an even greater uncertainty and a huge hidden danger that must be taken seriously.

Compared to the Tongtian Sect Leader setting up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, Nuwa was more concerned about this matter.

In the west, Mount Sumeru.

As Jieyin and Zhunti sensed the overwhelming killing intent, they exchanged a glance and smiled brightly.

"We have finally reached this point. Let's see when the Primordial Beginning will come to my Mount Sumeru."

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is the number one killing formation in the primordial world. Ordinary beings may not know much about this formation, but the two Western Saints are both saints, so how could they not know about this formation?
The Zhu Xian Sword Formation can only be broken by the Four Saints!
There are only a handful of saints in the primordial world now, and Houtu certainly won't lend a hand. Even if Taiqing and Nuwa were willing to help, there would still be one person missing.

If Yuanshi Tianzun wants to break the formation, he will have to seek help from the two Western Saints sooner or later.

As everyone knows, the Primordial Celestial Venerable values ​​his reputation the most. The news of the Investiture of the Gods has long been known throughout the prehistoric world. Who doesn't know that this change of dynasties in the Nine Provinces is a doctrinal conflict between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect?

If Yuanshi Tianzun cannot break the Zhuxian Sword Formation, then the Chan Sect will lose this doctrinal dispute. How could Yuanshi Tianzun, who values ​​his reputation so much, possibly want to see such a thing happen?
Even assuming that Yuanshi Tianzun truly came to his senses, the two Western Saints had prepared for this day for countless eons.
There are ways to get the Primordial Celestial Venerable to ask them for help; it's just a matter of how much it will cost.

Shouyang Mountain, Bajing Palace.

The Sage of Taiqing glanced in the direction of Jiepai Pass, then at Kunlun Mountain, and after a moment of silence, sighed helplessly.

He knew the intention of the Tongtian Sect Leader and understood that the Tongtian Sect Leader set up the Zhuxian Sword Formation to give the Primordial Heavenly Lord a way out, end the Investiture of the Gods war, and preserve more vitality for the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect.

He also knew Yuanshi Tianzun's personality; Yuanshi Tianzun might not be willing to take this step.

He also knew that the two Western Saints had always coveted the fortune of the East and had been plotting to make the West prosper. How could they possibly give up such an opportunity to take advantage of the situation?

While the Tongtian Sect Leader's idea was good, the current situation was not optimistic. After all, the two Western Saints were also saints, and the Tongtian Sect Leader had already revealed his hand.

Meanwhile, the two Western Saints, secretly plotting against the unsuspecting, coupled with the fact that the Primordial Celestial Venerable was inherently concerned with his reputation, led to the outcome of this matter...

The Supreme Sage understood this clearly, but was powerless to do anything about it.

He can't very well go to Mount Sumeru and block the gate, can he? If he did that, he would probably alarm the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"I'll just have to ask Junior Brother Tongtian to make do for now..."

The Sage Taiqing felt helpless. Yuanshi Tianzun's personality was such that if he were to admit defeat, it would likely cause even greater chaos.

All he can do now is try to secure more benefits for the Tongtian Sect Leader and think about how to differentiate himself from the Tongtian Sect Leader in the future.

In the underworld, beside the Bridge of Helplessness.

Yang Xuanzheng found Bixiao with a ginseng fruit in his hand, and they discussed philosophy and chatted while strolling along the banks of the River of Oblivion.

Suddenly, Yang Xuan sensed an overwhelming killing intent, and his expression changed slightly.
He hurriedly exercised his authority as the Ghost Emperor, mobilizing the power of the underground passages to conceal the secrets of heaven near the Bridge of Helplessness, preventing the people in the vicinity from discovering that terrifying killing intent.

"Little brother, what's wrong with you?"

Bixiao stood beside Yang Xuan, their arms linked together. Seeing Yang Xuan's expression change slightly, Bixiao leaned forward slightly, tilted her head to look at Yang Xuan, and asked with concern.

If the creatures of the East Sea or the disciples of the Jie Sect saw Bixiao in this state, they would probably be astonished and wonder if they had been under an illusion.

When has the notorious and mischievous Lady Bixiao ever appeared so docile?
"It's nothing, just some trivial things that came to mind."

Yang Xuan smiled slightly and rubbed Bixiao's head.

Everyone said that Bixiao was unruly, but Yang Xuan spent the most relaxed and comfortable days with him.

No matter what, we can't let her suffer any harm!
A barely perceptible determination appeared in Yang Xuan's eyes as he continued to stroll with Bi Xiao while pondering his next plan.

He hadn't expected that simply setting up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation would cause such a huge commotion.
In this way, even if he manages to conceal the secrets of heaven in time and prevent Bixiao and the nearby Yunxiao and Qiongxiao from noticing this killing intent, the matter of the Investiture of the Gods will probably not be kept secret for long.

To be honest, even with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, he wasn't confident he could stop Bixiao from leaving the Underworld.

If Bixiao is forcibly kept after such a major event, her Dao heart will definitely be damaged, which will be detrimental to her future cultivation.

"At this point in time, Bixiao's death calamity should have passed. As long as she pays more attention, she will no longer be in danger of falling."

Yang Xuan nodded secretly, but just to be on the safe side, he decided to make some backup plans...
