Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 169 Even Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect Are on the List

The master's command is the highest honor, let alone that of a sage. Even though the four immortals were terrified, they had no choice but to obey the order and go to break the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

Guang Chengzi joined the Zhuxian Sect, Chi Jingzi joined the Luxian Sect, Yu Ding Zhenren joined the Xianxian Sect, and Dao Xing Tianzun joined the Juexian Sect.

These four immortals all knew the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. Before even entering the formation, they unleashed all their skills, gathering the Three Flowers at their crowns, surrounding their bodies with the Five Elements, and supported by golden lotuses beneath their feet. Their bodies were completely impenetrable as they broke into the formation.

Guang Chengzi entered the Zhuxian Gate and saw Daoist Duobao standing on the Zhuxian Gate. Daoist Duobao sneered at him, "Guang Chengzi, you killed my disciple, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, and you still dared to come to my Jie Sect's holy land and insult my master. If it weren't for my master's order not to kill you today, I would have made sure your blood was spilled here."

Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi breathed a sigh of relief, drew his sword, and charged forward, saying, "Now that we're in the formation, let's determine who's superior; there's no need for further words."

Daoist Duobao stood atop the Immortal Execution Gate, with the Immortal Execution Sword hanging upside down above his head. Upon seeing this, he pointed and emitted a beam of mysterious light that struck the Immortal Execution Sword.

A thunderous roar was heard, followed by a dazzling red light and a sudden surge of killing intent. The Zhuxian Gate slammed shut, trapping Guang Chengzi inside with no way to retreat.

Guang Chengzi gritted his teeth and could only continue to attack Duobao Daoren, wanting to ascend the Zhuxian Tower. However, Duobao Daoren chuckled and activated the Zhuxian Tower, making it impossible for Guang Chengzi to get close, leaving Guang Chengzi helpless.

It turns out that although Guang Chengzi was the head of the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and was highly regarded by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, his cultivation was profound and his supernatural powers were extraordinary.

However, this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was set up by a sage. The inner world, though seemingly small, is actually vast and boundless.

The Immortal Execution Palace seemed so close to him, yet it was also worlds apart. No matter what methods he used, he could not get close to it.

Daoist Duobao was already in an invincible position. He then unleashed a palm thunderbolt, which shook the Zhuxian Sword. A beam of sword light fell and shot towards Guangchengzi.

Guang Chengzi was shocked and quickly dodged, using his Golden Light Leaping Technique. However, the sword light seemed to have eyes. Although it was a Three Flowers Gathering at the Top technique, it could not block the sword light. The sword light cut off one of the golden flowers, which fell to the ground and immediately turned into spiritual energy, merging into the chaos in the center of the great formation.

It should be known that the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top is a symbol of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, containing the cultivator's immense cultivation within it. When it is usually raised and placed above the head, it becomes impervious to all magic, and even innate spiritual treasures cannot easily shake it.

But to everyone's surprise, it couldn't withstand the sword energy emitted by the Immortal Execution Sword in the slightest, and one of its blossoms was instantly cut down.

Guang Chengzi wanted to retreat but couldn't. He considered using the Heaven-Turning Seal, but feared he wouldn't hit Daoist Duobao. So he summoned the Soul-Sweeping Bell and started shaking it. The bell rang repeatedly, but Daoist Duobao remained unmoved inside the Immortal Execution Palace, laughing loudly, "Guang Chengzi, let's see what you have to do now!"

He then unleashed two more palm strikes of lightning, followed by sword light. Guang Chengzi had no way to dodge them. The remaining two golden flowers were also cut off in the blink of an eye, leaving only the Five Qi Rings around his body. His cultivation as a Great Luo Golden Immortal had been reduced by half, and his face turned pale.

Where was there any room for wishful thinking? Daoist Duobao ignored him, and with a loud laugh, he shook the Zhuxian Sword several more times, emitting sword light that also sliced ​​away Guang Chengzi's five elements.

Poor Guang Chengzi, a dignified Great Luo Golden Immortal, was completely powerless to fight back once he entered this formation. A few sword lights stripped away all his cultivation, leaving him almost like a mortal, and he was easily captured by Daoist Duobao.

The other three immortals, Chi Jingzi, Yu Ding Zhenren, and Dao Xing Tianzun, were no exception. They were all defeated in just a few rounds, their three flowers were cut off, their five qi were removed, and their cultivation was reduced to nothing.

Upon seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader burst into laughter and said to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, "Senior Brother, you always boast about how profound your disciples' roots and how abundant their blessings are, but what do you have to say now?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Junior brother, this is just a temporary success or failure, what does it matter? You can release my four disciples, and I will come to break your formation the next day."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader was about to agree when he suddenly smiled and said, "Release them? It's not impossible, and that's what I originally thought too. But now that I think about it, how can I face the disciples who died under my tutelage if I release them?"

Yuanshi Tianzun's expression changed, and he said, "Junior brother, what do you want?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader shook his head and said, "The Three Realms are undergoing a great calamity, and a list of deities has been established. Although we have all signed many names, there are still many vacant spots. Now that we are determining who is superior, why don't you, Senior Brother, show some mercy and allow these four disciples to also be listed and deified?"

Having said that, Tongtian didn't wait for Yuanshi's reaction and ordered his four disciples, "Kill!" Daoist Duobao was overjoyed and, without hesitation, shook the Zhuxian Sword, sending a beam of sword light slashing towards Guangchengzi.

Poor Guang Chengzi, having listened to the words of Daoist Duobao, knew that even if he was captured, his life would not be in danger. Therefore, after having his cultivation severed, he surrendered without resistance. Now, however, he could not even resist and was killed by a single sword.

A true spirit flew out of the great formation and headed towards the Investiture of the Gods.

The other three, Chi Jingzi and Dao Xing Tianzun, were no exception; a single sword strike ended their days.

The true spirit went to the Investiture of the Gods.

But only Jade Cauldron Immortal, who had cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, managed to block one sword aura before being killed by the second.

Similarly, Zhenling was listed on the Investiture of the Gods.

Yuanshi Tianzun watched helplessly as his four disciples were killed and listed on the list, which enraged him.

The world was already gloomy, and in an instant it became pitch black, with thunder rumbling and a terrifying, oppressive aura filling the three realms.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Yuanshi Tianzun said "good" three times, but then turned around and went back into the reed hut without saying anything more.

Seeing this, the immortals of the Chan Sect recalled the tragic state of the four immortals and couldn't help but sigh. They also quickly followed into the reed hut.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat in the reed hut in silence for a long time before opening his eyes and saying to Randeng Daoren, "This matter was due to my oversight, which caused Guangchengzi and others to suffer. Now Tongtian is determined to act wickedly and is using the Zhuxian Sword Formation to make things difficult for me. Although I am older than him, I have a superior above me."

"Go set up another table, burn incense and pray, and invite my senior brother to come!"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Ran Deng was immediately invigorated and hurriedly went to do as instructed.

After burning incense and praying in this way, on the second day, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable personally led all the immortals, who lined up and waited. Sure enough, they saw colorful phoenixes flying and white cranes singing. After a while, the Great Pure Sage Laozi rode a blue ox with a board horn, led by his disciple, the Great Master Xuandu, and descended from the sky.

Yuanshi Tianzun then said to Laozi, "Senior brother has arrived. Junior brother Tongtian is now stubborn and ignorant. Yesterday, he even used his sword formation to kill my disciple. I beg senior brother to make the decision."

Laozi nodded and said, "Junior brother, don't be angry. Guang Chengzi and the others are probably just following the will of Heaven, unable to escape it. Therefore, Tongtian was used to put them on the list. As for the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, now that I'm here, I will definitely help you break it!"

"You may come with me to see him."

Thus, the two sages joined hands and arrived at the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation once more. Laozi descended to the Earthly Immortal Realm and arrived at the Boundary Marker Pass. Such a great commotion was naturally noticed by Tongtian.

Although he was annoyed that Laozi was helping Yuanshi, Laozi was, after all, the elder and the senior disciple. When Laozi arrived at the front of the formation, Tongtian Jiaozhu also hurriedly came out of the formation, followed by a group of disciples, namely the four personal disciples: Duobao Daoren, Jinling Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, and Zhao Gongming.

There are also seven attendant Golden Immortals: Wuyun Immortal, Jingu Immortal, Pilu Immortal, Qiushou Immortal, Lingya Immortal, Jinguang Immortal, and Changer Dingguang Immortal.

There was also a group of inner disciples: Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and so on, numbering in the dozens.

Their forces were far superior to those of the Chan sect.
