Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 275 Intercepting Muzha Again, Wudang Slays Puxian

What is Wuyunxian's background? Just a turtle!
But how could a turtle improve its cultivation so quickly!

Manjushri was starting to have doubts about life. He was only at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, while Wuyun Immortal was at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and even had the Hunyuan Hammer. The difference between the two was enormous.

Knowing he was no match for Wuyun Xian, Manjushri turned to Li Jing and said, "General Li, our Chan Sect is the orthodox sect of Xuanmen. We wish to take your son as our disciple. What do you think, General Li?"

Without a second thought, Li Jing apologized, “I’m sorry, my son has already become a disciple of the Jie Sect’s Immortal Wuyun, and can no longer transfer to the Chan Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Manjushri's face darkened further, and a murderous aura rose from his body. However, when he saw the Hunyuan Hammer in Wuyunxian's hand, he chose to follow his heart!
"Immortal Wuyun, I will remember what happened today." With these harsh words, Manjushri transformed into a streak of light and flew away from Chentang Pass.

Wu Yunxian curled her lip and thought to herself, "They keep calling them wet, egg-shaped creatures with fur and horns, so why don't they dare to make a move! Master said that if the Chan Sect tries to stop us, we can kill them directly. If Manjushri makes a move, I have a reason to kill him directly!"

Meanwhile, at the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, who had obtained the Investiture of the Gods, immediately began to refine this treasure. Then, with the power of a sage, he reversed time and sent the true spirit of the Grand Master Lingbao onto the Investiture of the Gods.

Having just finished all this, Yuanshi Tianzun felt uneasy. He opened his eyes and calculated with his fingers, only to find that Manjushri's destined disciple was gone!
Just then, Manjushri returned to Kunlun Mountain, and the Primordial Celestial Venerable immediately summoned Manjushri to the Jade Void Palace.

At this time, the Investiture of the Gods was a time of great chaos and celestial secrets. Yuanshi Tianzun could only calculate that Manjushri had lost his disciple, but he could not calculate the specific cause and effect. So Yuanshi Tianzun asked, "Manjushri, why did you not take Li Jing's son as your disciple?"

Manjushri, trembling, told Yuanshi Tianzun about how Wuyun Xian had taken Li Jing's son as his disciple before he could.

Yuanshi Tianzun looked rather grim. Tongtian had actually sent his disciple down the mountain on his own initiative and even snatched Manjushri's disciple. How could Tongtian act in such a way?

Based on Tongtian's past practices, he would never have done this.

Did he see things he couldn't see before after attaining the Great Golden Immortal of Hunyuan?
Tongtian's proactive attack caught Yuanshi Tianzun somewhat off guard, but he did not lose his composure. After a moment, Yuanshi Tianzun turned to Manjushri and said, "Li Jing and his son Puxian are destined to meet. Manjushri, you should go to Chentang Pass with Puxian and bring Qinglianzi along for backup. If you encounter the disciples of the Jie Sect again, then fight them!"

Upon hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's words, Manjushri's eyes lit up. His master was going to support him!

After taking Jinzha in, Wuyunxian did not leave immediately. It was not appropriate to take the child away from his parents directly, as he was too young. Therefore, Wuyunxian stayed at the General's Mansion and taught Jinzha to read and write.

Time flies, and Jinzha is three years old. Although he is naughty, he is intelligent and has excellent aptitude for cultivation, which pleases Wuyun Xian.

The child is three years old, which is the time for formal cultivation. The General's Mansion is located in the Great Shang Dynasty and is protected by human fortune, so it is not very suitable for cultivation. Therefore, Wuyun Xian decided to take Jinzha to Jin'ao Island.

After bidding farewell to his parents, Jinzha was taken away by Wuyunxian.

Another year passed, and Yin Shiniang became pregnant with her second child.

This time, the incarnation of Tongtian summoned the Holy Mother of Wudang.

"Master wants me to go to Chentang Pass to take on disciples?" Wudang Holy Mother asked in shock.

“Originally, you shouldn’t have gone, but last time Wuyunxian intercepted Manjushri’s disciple. Given my second brother’s personality, there will definitely be more than one Chan Sect Golden Immortal coming this time. If we send a Great Luo Golden Immortal from Jin’ao Island, he might perish because of it.”

"Now that you've reached the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, and have severed your Dao with the Ninth-Rank Karmic Fire Red Lotus and the Ninth-Rank Purifying White Lotus, none of the disciples of the Chan Sect should be your match in a one-on-one fight. I can rest assured that you're going."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of Wudang said nothing more and simply bowed in agreement.

After leaving Biyou Palace, the Holy Mother Wudang took out a communication jade talisman and sent a message to Youqin Yueyue: "Yueyue, I can't attend your birthday celebration."

"Why?"

"My master ordered me to go to Chentang Pass to take Li Jing's second son as my disciple."

"Then go ahead! I'll make it up to you with my birthday gift next time."

The Holy Mother of Wudang smiled and did not reply.

The lotus platform she used to dismember the corpse was found with the help of Qin Yueyue, and the Holy Mother of Wudang speculated that it should be the work of the Holy Sage Bai Jing.

After all, this ninth-grade lotus platform is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, which is not something that ordinary people can cultivate.

Only Bai Jing, a sage of the Chaos Green Lotus lineage, can do this.

In total, Qin Yueyue has already given her six lotus flowers.

One each of the Ninth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, Pure World White Lotus, and Merit Golden Lotus; and one each of the Third Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, Pure World White Lotus, and Merit Golden Lotus.

The former was for her to use in dismembering corpses, while the latter was planted in her cave for ornamental purposes.

"I really need to thank Yueyue properly next time we meet," the Holy Mother of Wudang muttered to herself, tearing open a portal and heading straight for Chentang Pass.

When the Holy Mother of Wudang arrived, it coincided with the birth of Li Jing's second son, Muzha.

Before leaving, Wu Yunxian told Li Jing that the Jie Sect would send other immortals. Therefore, Li Jing had been sending people to wait at the door. When he saw the Holy Mother of Wudang descend from the sky, Li Jing immediately went out to greet her.

Upon learning that the visitor was the Holy Mother Wudang, a direct disciple of the Sage of Shangqing, Li Jing trembled with excitement.

The Holy Mother of Wudang was Emperor Yu's teacher! What virtue or ability did Li Jing possess that his son could be a fellow disciple of Emperor Yu?

The process of Wudang Shengmu accepting disciples went very smoothly; it could even be said that Li Jing forced Muzha onto Wudang Shengmu.

Just as the two sides agreed on the matter of accepting disciples, three streaks of light landed directly in the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion.

The three of them landed directly in the courtyard where the women were still present. Even Li Jing, with his good temper, couldn't hold back any longer and asked in a cold tone, "What brings you here, esteemed immortals?"

Puxian completely ignored Li Jing. He looked at Muzha in the arms of the Holy Mother Wudang and said in a serious tone, "Senior Sister Wudang, this child is my destined disciple. Please, for the sake of our friendship with the Three Pure Ones, do not compete with me for him."

The Holy Mother of Wudang chuckled and said, "You say that Muzha is your destined disciple? Then why did Muzha become my disciple? And why did I take Muzha in before you? Perhaps you and Muzha have some master-disciple affinity, but it is clear that Muzha and I have a deeper affinity. Junior Brother Puxian, you should not get entangled with this."

“Senior Sister, you are mistaken. My master, Yuanshi Tianzun, personally said that Muzha and I have a master-disciple relationship. Are you questioning a sage?” Qinglianzi stepped forward and said.

"That's quite a coincidence. The master-disciple relationship between Muzha and me is also what my master, Tongtian Jiaozhu, said. Junior Brother Qinglianzi, are you perhaps questioning a sage?"

Qinglianzi was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with the Holy Mother Wudang, Manjushri stepped forward and said, "Since Senior Sister is unwilling to give up Muzha, then we have no choice but to offend her." "Do you mean you want to fight me?" the Holy Mother Wudang asked with a strange expression.

Qinglianzi is a quasi-saint, and may be able to fight her. What qualifications do Manjushri and Samantabhadra, two mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortals, have to fight her?
"Senior Sister Wudang, how about the battle at Tianwaitian?" Qinglianzi asked.

"Then let's fight!" After saying that, the Holy Mother of Wudang handed Muzha to Li Jing and made a gesture of invitation.

Qinglianzi, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra then flew towards the Outer Heaven.

Our Lady of Wudang followed closely behind.

In the vast and boundless void beyond the heavens, the Holy Mother of Wudang stood suspended in mid-air, her gaze like lightning. She coldly glanced at Qinglianzi opposite her, and her aura suddenly erupted. The pressure of a mid-stage Quasi-Saint was released without reservation, like a towering mountain crushing down, causing the void to tremble.

Qinglianzi had a solemn expression, with an indomitable spirit between his brows. Although he only had the cultivation of the early stage of Quasi-Saint, his background was extraordinary, as he was born from the Twelfth Grade Creation Green Lotus.

In Qinglianzi's view, he is Qinglian, and Chaos Qinglian is also Qinglian. He should be the one to inherit the fortune of Chaos Qinglian, and he is naturally connected to the Great Dao of Creation, with endless vitality and creative power flowing in his body.

Even though he did not embark on the path of proving the Dao through the laws, he was still able to draw upon a portion of the power of the Great Dao of Creation, making his strength not to be underestimated.

Faced with the oppressive aura of the Holy Mother Wudang, Qinglianzi took a deep breath, raised her hand and gently pointed, causing ripples to spread in the void, and a mysterious aura permeated the air.

In an instant, countless creations appeared out of thin air, a magnificent and awe-inspiring sight.

There were gleaming weapons, swords, spears, and halberds, all exuding a murderous aura; there were birds and beasts, some soaring with outstretched wings, others roaring and galloping, all lifelike; and there were figures of humans and monsters, some standing with weapons, others roaring ferociously, like a mixed army.

These creations, all formed from the Great Dao of Creation, brimming with vitality and endless changes, surged toward the Holy Mother of Wudang with immense power, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Meanwhile, Manjushri and Samantabhadra were hiding among these creations, taking advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack on the Holy Mother of Wudang.

Both of them are at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and normally they shouldn't be able to harm the Holy Mother Wudang. However, if they seize the opportunity while Qinglianzi and the Holy Mother Wudang are fighting, they might have a chance.

Therefore, the two chose to conceal their auras and blend into the army of creators, waiting for the best opportunity.

Seeing this, the Holy Mother of Wudang snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. She raised her hand and waved it, summoning the supreme innate spiritual treasure in her hand—the Yin-Yang Duster.

This treasure is crystal clear, with silk threads as white as snow, and faintly contains the flow of yin and yang energies, exuding a mysterious and unpredictable aura.

With a gentle wave of her whisk, the Holy Mother Wudang unleashed a tornado of Yin and Yang energies, which intertwined in black and white, transforming into a massive vortex that, with earth-shattering power, clashed with Qinglianzi's army of creation.

A deafening roar shook the heavens as the Yin and Yang energies clashed violently with the creations of the Great Dao of Creation. Weapons shattered into dust under the crushing force of Yin and Yang; birds and beasts cried out in agony as they vanished into nothingness; the figures of humans and demons also disappeared in the flow of the two energies.

Although the creation formed by the Great Dao of Creation was powerful, it was utterly vulnerable in front of the Supreme Mother Wudang's top-grade innate spiritual treasure. It was instantly pulverized, and spiritual light scattered like rain.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Manjushri and Samantabhadra realized the danger and quickly withdrew.

They originally intended to use the creation as cover for a sneak attack, but they did not expect that the Yin-Yang whisk of the Holy Mother of Wudang would be so domineering, so easily breaking the divine power of the Green Lotus Seed.

The two moved like lightning, transforming into two golden streaks of light and fleeing backward, attempting to create distance between themselves.

However, Qinglianzi did not back down. His gaze sharpened, and the power of creation within his body surged once more. He formed hand seals, and a phantom of a green lotus appeared in the void, emitting a faint glow.

He knew that the Holy Mother of Wudang was far stronger than him, but as a twelfth-grade Creation Lotus incarnation, he had his own pride and was unwilling to admit defeat easily.

At the same time, Manjushri and Samantabhadra exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, turned around, and decided to join forces with Qinglianzi. The three of them launched a frontal attack on the Holy Mother of Wudang from different directions at the same time.

The great battle broke out, and in the void of the outer heavens, spiritual light shone and magical power surged.

Qinglianzi used the Great Dao of Creation to evolve the Azure Lotus Sword Qi, the sword light as bright as a rainbow, cutting through the void; Manjushri and Samantabhadra joined forces to harass the Holy Mother of Wudang with the Jade Purity Wonderful Method.

The three joined forces and launched a relentless offensive, engaging in a fierce and evenly matched battle with the Holy Mother of Wudang.

The Holy Mother of Wudang disregarded Manjushri and Samantabhadra, focusing her main attention on Qinglianzi. She wielded the Yin-Yang whisk with ease, transforming Yin and Yang energies into countless threads of light that intertwined to form a net, dissolving the attacks of the three one by one. Every move she made revealed the terrifying strength of a mid-stage Quasi-Saint.

The two sides fought a fierce battle in the Outer Heaven for more than a hundred rounds. They went back and forth, fighting until the sky darkened, the void shattered, and spiritual energy raged.

However, as time went on, the difference in cultivation level gradually became apparent.

Although Qinglianzi was blessed by the Great Dao of Creation, his foundation was slightly weaker and he gradually showed signs of fatigue; Manjushri and Samantabhadra were only at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and had long been unable to withstand it.

The Holy Mother of Wudang gained the upper hand with absolute power.

Finally, in a fierce exchange, the Holy Mother of Wudang seized an opening and unleashed the full power of her Yin-Yang whisk, causing a massive Yin-Yang vortex to explode and send all three of them flying.

"Pfft!" Qinglianzi spat out blood, his body flew backward, and his aura weakened.

Manjushri's chest was struck by the Yin and Yang energies, and his face turned pale.

Samantabhadra suffered the most tragic fate. He attempted to withstand the attack of the Holy Mother of Wudang with his magical power, but was directly hit by the vortex. The sound of his bones breaking could be clearly heard. He fell like a kite with a broken string, severely injured and on the verge of death.

The Holy Mother of Wudang put away her Yin-Yang whisk, stood in mid-air, and coldly looked at the three who had been defeated.

"The Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect are nothing more than this!" The voice of the Holy Mother Wudang was as cold as ice, echoing between heaven and earth, making people's hearts tremble. After speaking, the Holy Mother Wudang waved her whisk and attacked Puxian.

Just as the Holy Mother Wudang's whisk was about to land on Samantabhadra, holy power filled the surrounding void, and the Holy Mother Wudang was immediately frozen in place and unable to move.

"Yuanshi, sages are not allowed to interfere in the Investiture of the Gods calamity." Tongtian's voice echoed in the void.

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly, still intending to rescue Puxian.

Tongtian did not hesitate. He unleashed a sword light that annihilated the surrounding void inch by inch, completely isolating the aura of Yuanshi Tianzun.

The whisk of the Holy Mother Wudang fell down, instantly annihilating Samantabhadra.
