Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

Chapter 105 The Chaos Dao Lord Emerges from the Mountain, Warns Ran Deng Halfway Through

"Little girl over there, quickly go and inform your master that I have come to visit."

As I strolled onto the island, I saw a little girl picking flower buds outside a cave, so I spoke to her and gave her some instructions.

"Ah! Fifth Uncle-Master is here! Please wait a moment, I'll go and inform him right away!"

Upon learning that their fifth senior brother had arrived, the three female immortals, Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao, walked out of the cave.

Upon arriving outside the cave, they saw their senior brother, Chaos, admiring the scenery of the Three Immortal Islands. They all stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Little sister Yunxiao (Qiongxiao, Bixiao) greets Fifth Senior Brother."

"My three junior sisters, there's no need for such formalities. Over the years, you've managed Three Immortal Islands so well that they're a sight to behold and a place one never wants to leave!" Li Yunjing praised.

Yunxiao laughed and said, "If Fifth Senior Brother likes the scenery here, then you may stay on my Three Immortals Island for a while longer."

"Yes, if Fifth Senior Brother likes it, he should stay on Three Immortal Islands for a while longer so that my two sisters and I can ask him for advice from time to time."

Bixiao had just seen her fifth senior brother talking to her eldest sister and didn't want to interrupt. Now that she had a free moment, she quickly invited her fifth senior brother to stay on "Three Immortals Island" for a while.

"Bixiao, how come you haven't improved at all over the years? You're still at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm?"

Amused, Li Yunjing looked at Bixiao and said to Qiongxiao at the same time, "You're not putting in much effort either! You two look at Yunxiao, you're already at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. I imagine that after the Great Tribulation of Immortals, you'll be able to sever one of your corpses and become a Quasi-Saint."

"Although I have reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, reaching the Quasi-Saint realm will probably be quite difficult, and I don't know when I will be able to achieve my goal," Yunxiao said modestly.

"My elder sister spends her days cultivating and comprehending the Dao of Heaven; I can't compare to her."

Upon hearing this, Bixiao and Qiongxiao exchanged a glance and whispered among themselves.

"Alright, you two, focus on your cultivation from now on. Fifth Senior Brother, please come inside."

Yunxiao looked at his two younger sisters, shook his head helplessly, and then invited Chaos Daojun to walk into the cave.

Once inside the cave, the two sides took their seats as host and guest.

Yunxiao then ordered the girl to serve fresh fruit and fragrant tea.

"I only have some seasonal fresh fruit here, and some fragrant tea that my two sisters and I picked and cultivated ourselves. It's alright, please have a taste, Fifth Senior Brother."

"The tea leaves a lingering fragrance after the first sip; it is indeed a fine tea."

Li Yunjing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and praised it.

"If Fifth Senior Brother likes them, he may take some with him when he leaves."

"Then I must thank Junior Sister Yunxiao."

Li Yunjing smiled and accepted Yunxiao's kind offer.

"May I ask what brings you here, Fifth Senior Brother?"

After Chaos Daoist finished his tea, Yunxiao asked.

"This time, the conflict between the Chan Sect and our sect under the city of Xiqi is becoming increasingly fierce. All twelve Golden Immortals have made their moves, and even Ran Deng has descended to the mortal realm. This time, I am specifically instructing you that if anyone invites you to come out of seclusion, try to minimize the deadly enmity with the Chan Sect, and do not contradict your second senior uncle."

After thinking for a moment, Li Yunjing couldn't help but offer some words of advice. The Three Immortals, especially Yunxiao, were people he valued highly. If they were to be included in the Investiture of the Gods, it would be a huge and unbearable loss for the Jie Sect.

"Fifth Senior Brother, Master once said that the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods has begun, and told us not to go out unless necessary, so as not to get involved in the killing calamity. We three sisters will naturally not go down the mountain without a reason."

After listening, Yunxiao pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Yes, I am aware of that."

Li Yunjing nodded, but in her heart she thought that Zhao Gongming was definitely not settled and would definitely come out of seclusion. If something happened to Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortals would naturally not be able to remain indifferent to this brother, and the three of them would definitely have to go and take action.

"My three junior sisters, just remember that if any bad news comes out about Junior Brother Zhao Gongming, you don't need to panic. I will take care of everything and protect him."

In the end, Li Yunjing still revealed a bit of the secret, but he naturally couldn't say more about the Sanxiao's questions.

After sitting for a while longer, he gave some final instructions before leaving, then transformed into a streak of light and flew towards "Shouyang Mountain".

An hour later, Li Yunjing and his companions waited at a certain point on the road, and sure enough, they saw the Daoist Ran Deng riding a cloud of auspicious clouds in the sky, heading in their direction.

Before long, Chaos Dao Lord released a faint aura of a Quasi-Saint. The Burning Lamp Daoist was suddenly startled. Then, with a thought, he descended on auspicious clouds and walked towards Chaos Dao Lord.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Ran Deng!"

When Li Yunjing saw Randeng approaching, he greeted him with a smile.

"Greetings, Randeng! I never expected to encounter Fellow Daoist Li in this desolate wilderness. It's been many years; Fellow Daoist Li's demeanor is even more refined than before!"

Seeing that the once insignificant person had become a top-tier master in the world, Randeng felt somewhat bittersweet, but still offered his praise.

"I wonder why Fellow Daoist Li is blocking my path?" asked Daoist Ran Deng. "With Fellow Daoist Li's cultivation, surely you wouldn't have come here for Jiang Ziya?"

"Haha! What is Jiang Ziya anyway!"

Li Yunjing said disdainfully, without any intention of hiding his true intentions. His arrogant tone left even Daoist Ran Deng speechless. No matter how incompetent Jiang Ziya was, he was still the one who conferred the title of god and was entrusted with the mandate of heaven!

"I have come here for Fellow Daoist Ran Deng!"

"Oh? Quasi-Saints are not involved in the 'Investiture of the Gods Tribulation,' so why did you attack me, fellow Daoist?"

Daoist Ran Deng was greatly alarmed. Li Yunjing was already a master who had severed one of his corpses. Although he himself had severed one of his corpses with his original body, the "Spirit Coffin Lamp," he knew that his magic treasures were inferior to Li Yunjing's, so he naturally did not want to fight him to the death.

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Ran Deng is also a great master! I wouldn't want to fight you to the death for no reason! However, there are some things I must tell you, Fellow Daoist: you are not allowed to touch some important disciples of the Jie Sect. If you do, you will be creating karma with me, and even after the Investiture of the Gods calamity has passed, I will still be your sworn enemy!"

Li Yunjing showed no politeness towards someone like Daoist Ran Deng, clearly stating his bottom line to him.

"The Investiture of the Gods only requires 365 slots. We can just gather a few people. I have no intention of completely offending the Jie Sect."

After a long while, Randeng let out a long breath, suppressing the urge to fight Chaos Daojun, and tactfully told Li Yunjing that he understood what he meant.

"Hahaha! Very good! Of the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, not many remain now!"

Li Yunjing laughed loudly, then looked at Randeng and warned again, "To live a long life, besides having extraordinary abilities, you also need to be sensible and know your limits!"

"Alright! Fellow Daoist Li, I understand your purpose. May I leave now?"

Looking at the arrogant Chaos Dao Lord, the Burning Lamp Daoist's face twitched. However, he himself did not have any powerful magic treasures, nor did he have the Quasi-Saint or higher inheritance that the Primordial Heavenly Venerable had hidden away. He was weaker than Li Yunjing, and fighting him would only be a humiliation for him. He could only silently endure it.

He only felt more resentful towards the Chan Sect, and at the same time, he took the matter of helping him sever his two corpses, as mentioned by the Sage Zhunti, to heart.

"Of course! Please, fellow Daoist, go ahead!"

Li Yunjing nodded, then his figure blurred and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards Xiqi.

"Alas! With this person involved in the Investiture of the Gods calamity, we're in big trouble later!"

Watching Li Yunjing's disappearing figure, Daoist Ran Deng sighed. He stopped thinking about it. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. His current task was to revive Jiang Ziya. So he continued on his way to the "Eight Views Palace".

With the help of the Chan Sect, Daoist Randeng quickly met with the Sage Taiqing in the "Eight Views Palace". Laozi did not refuse Randeng's purpose and rewarded him with a "Nine-Turn Golden Pill" before sending Daoist Randeng away.

Burning Lamp Daoist had no status with Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and naturally, he didn't receive any good treatment from Supreme Laozi. If it weren't for Jiang Ziya being the one who conferred the gods, even with Burning Lamp Daoist's influence, it would have been difficult to obtain this "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir."

Li Yunjing arrived in Xiqi shortly afterward and carefully examined the balance of power between the two sides. Although the Chan Sect was temporarily inferior in terms of high-end combat strength, the Chan Sect was blocked by the ten great formations of the Ten Heavenly Kings. For the time being, the Chan Sect could not defeat the Yin Shang army.

Since there was no danger, Li Yunjing saw no need to show himself. He simply sneaked into the Yin Shang army and summoned his disciple, Yuan Hong.

"Teacher, you've arrived!"

Seeing Chaos Dao Lord emerge from the mountain, Yuan Hong felt relieved. The war situation had stabilized recently, but he was still worried and fearful that he might encounter a calamity.

"You little monkey!"

Seeing that Yuan Hong was unharmed, Li Yunjing smiled and said, "I was indeed worried about your safety when I came down the mountain this time. I will leave this 'Nine Heavens Divine Sword' with you for now to protect you. Also, there are two 'Nine-Turn Golden Pills' here. Give them to Shen Gongbao and the Nine-Tailed Fox respectively, and let them take them to advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

"Yes, teacher!"

Yuan Hong carefully accepted these treasures, especially the "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir," which he looked at again and again, extremely envious.

"Stop looking! You monkey! Although this 'Nine-Turn Golden Pill' can raise your cultivation to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it is not based on your own comprehension and cultivation of Daoist power and magic power. It is much weaker than a normal Great Luo Golden Immortal. It will take a long time to make up for it. For you, it is like a chicken rib."

Seeing that Yuan Hong was eyeing the food with envy, Li Yunjing scolded him softly and irritably.

"Hehe! Master, I know I was wrong! I won't covet this 'Nine-Turn Golden Elixir'." Yuan Hong awkwardly scratched his head and chuckled.

"Hmm! The Nine-Tailed Fox and Shen Gongbao are still somewhat useful, increasing their cultivation. Hopefully, these two can bring some surprises!" Li Yunjing muttered to himself.

Yuan Hong, standing to the side, listened to his teacher's words without understanding their deeper meaning, and could only stand there and listen obediently.

"Alright! Be careful. If things don't go well, just run away. As long as you get back to 'Wuyishan' or go to 'Ziweitian', you'll be safe."

Looking at his disciple, Li Yunjing warned him again not to risk his life and arranged a way out for Yuan Hong.

As long as the sage doesn't personally intervene, no one will dare to cause trouble at his Daoist temple. As long as the Chaos Daoist Lord lives, no one can raid his home.

This is the confidence of a top-tier master!

Finally, Li Yunjing left quietly and went into seclusion in a secluded valley 100,000 miles away, keeping a close watch on the movements under Xiqi City. People from the Jie Sect could be on the list, but none of his direct descendants could be missing!

Randeng had also warned himself that if Yu Yixian, Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortals, and others were to fall into the calamity, he would not be able to care about much else, and the Twelve Golden Immortals would also have to be listed to accompany his people.

Having obtained the "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir," Randeng returned to Xiqi City with a sullen expression.

This blow was too great, prompting him to accelerate his plans. His defection was no longer a pipe dream, but a concrete action. He had already secretly contacted some of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

The next day, Jiang Ziya obtained the "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir," a top-tier elixir in the world, and his three souls and seven spirits immediately reunited, bringing him back to life.

With the person who was to be conferred the title of God alive, the morale of the Xiqi side greatly increased. Without any worries about the rear, Daoist Ran Deng led many experts out of the city again, preparing to break the Ten Deadly Formations and defeat the eight Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Golden Spirit Mother.

When the Chan Sect went to battle, the Golden Spirit Mother also led her people out to the scene. Looking at the lifelike Jiang Ziya, Yao Bin's face darkened. He never expected that all his hard work in performing the ritual would still fail to kill this scoundrel.

"Jiang Ziya! Now that you've come back to life, you shall try and break through my great formation!"

Before the Holy Mother Jinling could speak, an enraged Yao Bin was the first to step forward. Together with the other members of the Ten Heavenly Kings, they set up the "Ten Deadly Formations," waiting for the members of the Chan Sect to break the formations.

"Very well! You just wait! Our Chan Sect will definitely break your evil formation!"

Since receiving the warning from Chaos Daoist, Burning Lamp Daoist no longer wanted to fight to the death with someone like Golden Spirit Holy Mother, because she was definitely on Chaos Daoist's protection list.

At this moment, seeing the Ten Heavenly Lords challenge him, Daoist Ran Deng was overjoyed, naturally choosing the weakest among them.

The Taoist Ran Deng stepped forward and examined the "Ten Deadly Formations." He felt that the "Ten Deadly Formations" were extremely profound and difficult to break. If he were to make a move, it would be fine, but if others were to make a move against such a fierce formation, they would only meet with certain death.

After much deliberation, he came up with a plan: someone would sacrifice their life to pave the way and dispel the overwhelming malevolent energy within the formation, thus creating an opportunity to break it.

The Taoist Ran Deng's gaze swept over the crowd. After a moment's thought, he said, "Han Dulong, go and break this 'Heavenly Annihilation Formation'!"

Upon hearing this, the True Lord of Pure Void Morality's eyes dimmed. Although this was a pre-arranged plan, people are not plants or trees, how can they be without feelings? Since Han Dulong became a disciple, he had been respectful to his teachers and elders without any wrongdoing, yet today he was about to suffer a calamity for him.

"Disciple obeys!"

Upon hearing this, Han Dulong assumed that Vice Sect Leader Ran Deng was giving him a chance to prove himself, and happily agreed, drawing his sword and heading straight for Qin Wan's "Heavenly Annihilation Formation".

"You, a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, with only the cultivation of a Xuanxian, dare to presume to break my 'Heavenly Annihilation Formation'? You're truly courting death! It seems your Chan Sect has no one left to rely on!"

Qin Wan laughed heartily, his face full of disdain.

"You're asking for it!"

Upon hearing this, Han Dulong flew into a rage and raised his sword to strike Qin Wan.

Qin Wan smiled coldly, not bothering to fight Han Dulong at all. He turned around and walked into the "Heavenly Annihilation Formation". Han Dulong thought that the other party was afraid and pursued him relentlessly, and followed him into the "Heavenly Annihilation Formation".
