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

Chapter 122 Guang Chengzi Meets the Emperor, Tongtian Sect Leader's Anger Rages

Several days later, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit led her troops out of the city and summoned Hong Jin to speak. Upon seeing Hong Jin, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit said, "Hong Jin, you are a disciple of my Jie Sect, yet you have defected to the Chan Sect. Today, I will cleanse the sect and kill you."

"Hmph! Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, I advise you to surrender quickly, and you may save your life. Otherwise, you will inevitably be listed on the Investiture of the Gods."

Hong Jin was initially ashamed to see his fellow disciples, but when he saw the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit coming to kill him, he didn't expect to lose his life for nothing. So he picked up his big sword and charged at the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit.

After exchanging blows for dozens of rounds, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit pushed up her "Golden Crown," which immediately revealed a sky full of golden light. In this dazzling golden light, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit could see Hong Jin, but Hong Jin could not see the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit.

"ah!!!"

Instantly, Hong Jin's eyes stung, and for a moment he couldn't see east, west, north, or south. He was struck by the Fire Spirit Mother's "Tai'a Sword," and Hong Jin was so frightened that he turned and fled.

"Hong Jin, where are you running to, you traitor?"

The Holy Mother of Fire pursued relentlessly, chasing them directly into Hong Jin's camp.

The three thousand fire dragon soldiers followed the Holy Mother of Fire and stormed into Hong Jin's camp. The fire dragon soldiers set fires everywhere, burning Hong Jin's army into chaos, causing them to scatter and trample each other, with countless dead.

"My husband, I've come to save you!"

Princess Longji saw that Hong Jin was in trouble and rushed out to help, but she did not expect that the "Golden Crown" was extremely powerful. She was also blinded by the golden light and was injured by the Fire Spirit Mother's sword.

Upon hearing Princess Longji's scream, Hong Jin hurriedly turned around, brandishing his long sword and slashing wildly to evade the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit. He then picked up his wife and fled for his life once more.

The Holy Mother of Fire pursued them for dozens of miles until she could no longer see Hong Jin and Princess Longji, at which point she reluctantly withdrew her troops and returned to camp.

"Alas! The losses this time are too great. These battle losses cannot be concealed; we must report them to Prime Minister Jiang."

Seeing that the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit had stopped pursuing, Hong Jin stopped to reorganize his troops. Seeing the heavy losses, he could only report to Jiang Ziya and request the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect to help.

"That's right! The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit possesses an innate spiritual treasure, and we are no match for her. Preserving our lives is the most important thing. We still need a master from the Chan Sect to subdue such an enemy."

Princess Longji was also filled with lingering fear; the ferocity of the Holy Mother of Fire had truly terrified this princess of the Heavenly Court.

Soon, Hong Jin arranged for someone to take his letter to Jiang Ziya to deliver the message.

Upon learning that a master from the Jie Sect had descended the mountain to assist him, Jiang Ziya went to Guang Chengzi without hesitation to request help. Randeng Daoren was overjoyed and gave a wink to Ju Liusun and the other three. The four of them immediately started talking and managed to persuade their senior brother, Guang Chengzi, to personally come to the rescue.

"Very well! Since that Holy Mother of Fire Spirit is ignorant of fate, I, this humble Taoist, will place her on the Investiture of the Gods!"

The people around him chimed in with their opinions, and Guang Chengzi, seeing that his fellow disciples all spoke in this manner, and considering that the Fire Spirit Mother was an ordinary person who wouldn't require much effort, agreed to take action and eliminate this person.

That day, Guang Chengzi rode on auspicious clouds and arrived at the camp of Hong Jin and Princess Longji to stay.

The next day, Hong Jin and Princess Longji, following Guang Chengzi's orders, reorganized their troops for another battle.

When the Holy Mother of Fire appeared, Guang Chengzi looked down at her and spoke a long speech about "Heaven's Way is in my hands." How could the Holy Mother of Fire listen to that?

The two couldn't agree on anything, and the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit immediately started fighting with Guang Chengzi. Although the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit had three innate spiritual treasures, the "Hun Yuan Hammer", the "Golden Cloud Crown" and the "Tai'a Sword", she was no match for Guang Chengzi. After only a few hundred rounds, Guang Chengzi found an opening and killed her with a "Heaven-Turning Seal".

Guang Chengzi had been persuaded by many of his fellow disciples, and the True Man Puxian even stated that the 365 Heavenly Gods on the Investiture of the Gods list might not be enough, and that mortals might not be able to be granted high positions. Now, the people of the Jie Sect dared not come out, which affected their completion of the killing calamity.

Upon hearing this, Julu Sun, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, and Cihang Daoren all nodded in agreement and expressed their concerns. With these four stirring things up, Chijingzi, Yuding Zhenren, and others were also very worried. Thus, many disciples persuaded Guangchengzi to volunteer and take the "Golden Cloud Crown," "Hunyuan Hammer," and "Tai'a Sword" to Biyou Palace.

This was also a well-thought-out idea of ​​Guang Chengzi. He was prepared to provoke them severely, so that the Jie Sect would send more people to their deaths, and the Chan Sect would completely complete their massacre.

After Guang Chengzi killed the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, he gave Hong Jin and Princess Longji a few words of advice, telling them to continue their advance and not waste any more time. Then he brought three innate spiritual treasures to Jin'ao Island.

Guang Chengzi, however, wanted to go to Biyou Palace to meet Tongtian Jiaozhu and return the three innate spiritual treasures, the Golden Cloud Crown, the Hunyuan Hammer, and the Tai'a Sword, in order to severely humiliate the disciples of the Jie Sect.

Sure enough, as soon as Guang Chengzi landed on "Jin'ao Island", many disciples of the Jie Sect on the island saw him coming and rushed forward, drawing their swords and wielding their blades, surrounding Guang Chengzi with murderous intent.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists. I have come here to pay my respects to my Uncle Tongtian."

Seeing this, Guang Chengzi was secretly pleased. These hotheads from the Jie Sect, having been provoked by him, would not be able to endure it and would surely come down the mountain to their deaths.

"Guang Chengzi! Our two sects have been embroiled in constant conflict, and there is no longer any camaraderie between us. What is your purpose in seeing your teacher today?"

With a stern expression, Daoist Duobao stepped forward, surrounded by his fellow disciples.

"Alas! The other day, I tried to persuade the Holy Mother of Fire to retreat, but she was oblivious to the will of Heaven and insisted on aiding and abetting evil. In the end, I accidentally killed her!"

Guang Chengzi looked sorrowful, sighed dramatically, and said, "This time, I, the humble Taoist, return the relics of the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, namely the Golden Cloud Crown, the Primordial Hammer, and the Tai'a Sword, to your esteemed sect."

"Huh? Junior Sister Fire Spirit is dead?"

"You killed Junior Sister Huo Ling, and you still dare to trespass on 'Golden Turtle Island'!"

"Kill him!"

"They must pay with their blood!"

Guang Chengzi's words immediately enraged all the disciples of the Jie Sect. In an instant, the air was thick with murderous intent, and even the rules of the sage's dojo were disregarded.

"Alas! This is the sacred ground of a sage, and also the stronghold of your Jie Sect. I understand your desire for revenge, but in a one-on-one fight, none of you are a match for me. Does your Jie Sect only know how to gang up on your opponents?"

Despite the impassioned reaction of the Jie Sect members, Guang Chengzi remained unhurried and continued his provocations.

Anyway, this is a sacred place, Guang Chengzi didn't believe it. Under the very nose of the Tongtian Sect Master, he was beaten to death by the Jie Sect. He didn't utter a single word that offended the sage from beginning to end, and he wasn't afraid even if his uncle was in front of him!

"Guang Chengzi! You're finished! You're completely finished!"

Enraged, Wu Yunxian unleashed a "Shangqing Divine Thunder" directly at Guang Chengzi. This thunderous sound seemed to be a signal, and a group of Jiejiao immortals rushed out to attack.

"Hahaha! The Jie Sect only knows how to bully the weak with numbers!"

Guang Chengzi was startled at first, but then calmed down. He didn't try to resist, and with a swift movement, he fled all over "Jin'ao Island".

This "Golden Turtle Island" was incredibly huge, filled with the cave dwellings of many disciples. Daoist Duobao, Immortal Wuyun, and a group of other experts watched Guang Chengzi flee in all directions, unable to use their powerful magic to attack, and they all roared in anger.

"Haha! Even if you outnumber me, what can you do to me?"

Guang Chengzi laughed triumphantly. In the stronghold of the Jie Sect, since the people of the Jie Sect dared not use their great supernatural powers to attack him anyway, as long as he was not captured by others, he could roam freely on "Jin'ao Island".

Thus, many disciples of the Jie Sect became complete clowns. This senior disciple of the Chan Sect pulled off a trick of entering and exiting three times on "Golden Turtle Island," making the Jie Sect members blush with shame.

Finally, the Tongtian Sect Leader in Biyou Palace could no longer stand it. With a livid face, he ordered Shuiyue Tongzi to dismiss the many disciples and allow Guangchengzi to come to court.

Having received the summons from the sect leader, Guang Chengzi straightened his clothes and entered "Biyou Palace" with a respectful expression. He showed none of the arrogance he had shown when facing Duobao Daoren and the others. He respectfully returned the relics of the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, sincerely admitted his mistake, and withdrew.

Although the Tongtian Sect Leader was unhappy, he didn't think it was worth arguing with a nobody like Guang Chengzi and losing face as a sage for no reason.

And so, Guang Chengzi swaggered out of "Jin'ao Island," riding on auspicious clouds, and slowly flew towards the Xiqi army.

After Guang Chengzi left, the disciples of the Jie Sect were completely enraged. They were all furious, and even the peaceful and unassuming Wudang Holy Mother and Guiling Holy Mother were so angry that their faces turned purple.

Hundreds of second-generation disciples were making a ruckus, complaining to Daoist Duobao and demanding that their senior brother summon the Tongtian Sect Master to avenge the dead disciples of the Jie Sect.

After a while, Master Duobao's head was about to explode from the noise of his fellow disciples, so he could only shout, "Fellow disciples, please calm down. Come with me to Biyou Palace and ask our master for a decision."

"Great! Let's ask the teacher to make a decision together!"

With a whoosh, hundreds of disciples arrived at the entrance of "Biyou Palace" led by Daoist Duobao, informed Shuiyue Tongzi, and asked him to pass on a message.

After a while, Shuiyue Tongzi came out, looked at Duobao Daoren, and said, "Senior Brother, the Master wants you to go in."

Soon, Daoist Duobao led many of his fellow disciples to the Shangqing Hall to pay homage to the leader of the Jie Sect.

"Jiang Shang was appointed by the decrees of our three religions to assist the emperor destined for the throne. All three religions have members listed on the 'Investiture of the Gods.' Guang Chengzi was also a deviant immortal. He killed the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit not because he sought trouble, so why do you all oppose him? You even disobey my instructions; what kind of dignity is that!"

"The disciples of the Chan Sect have gone too far in bullying our sect! We beg our Master to have great mercy and save our dignity."

After the ceremony, many disciples of the Jie Sect were furious and complained to the Tongtian Sect Leader.

"Teacher, when Guang Chengzi returned the belongings of Junior Sister Huo Ling, he arrogantly boasted about his Jade Purity Great Law and insulted our sect as a heretical sect."

Seeing that the scene was becoming somewhat chaotic, Daoist Duobao stopped the others from speaking. He knelt down and said, "The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect have also insulted us, saying that we 'can live together without distinguishing between those with fur and horns, and those born from eggs or moisture.'"

"Red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves—the three religions are all originally the same." How could he not know this? How dare he speak nonsense and deceive us? You must not distinguish between yourselves and others, lest you cause trouble.

Although the Tongtian Sect Leader was somewhat angry, he still considered the bonds of the Xuanmen sect and was unwilling to easily fall out with his second brother.

After glancing at Tongtian Jiaozhu and seeing his expressionless face, Duobao Daoren, unsure of his teacher's meaning, continued, "Teacher, every word I speak is the truth! Those people from the Chan Sect truly do not regard us with respect! They do not treat us as disciples of the Xuanmen at all, and they disregard the kinship of the Xuanmen in the slightest."

"That's absolutely true! This can be addressed face-to-face."

Seeing that their teacher didn't seem to believe what their eldest brother said, the disciples began to speak up.

"If I am one with feathers, then who is his master? If I become a feather, then his master is also a feather or something like that. How dare this beast utter such vile words! He is truly not a son!"

Hearing the complaints of his many disciples, and hearing the words of Daoist Duobao, even the Tongtian Sect Leader was somewhat indignant.

Then, the Tongtian Sect Leader said to the Golden Spirit Mother, "Go to the back and fetch my four precious swords."

"Yes! This disciple obeys!"

Upon hearing their teacher's words, the disciples were immediately overjoyed, knowing that their teacher was angry and would personally stand up for them.

After a while, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit came out from behind, carrying the four swords of the Tongtian Sect Leader, and placed the four swords on the table in front of the Sect Leader.

"Since he laughs at my sect for being inferior to the Chan sect, you can take these four precious swords to Jiepai Pass and set up a Zhuxian Formation. Let's see which disciple of the Chan sect dares to enter my formation! If anything happens, I will come and talk to him myself."

The Tongtian Sect Leader looked at Duobao Daoist and handed him the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the array diagram together.

"What are the special uses of this sword?"

Upon obtaining the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation for the first time, Daoist Duobao was excited and asked the question.

"This sword has four names: the first is the 'Immortal Slayer Sword'; the second is the 'Immortal Slayer Sword'; the third is the 'Immortal Trapper Sword'; and the fourth is the 'Immortal Annihilation Sword'. This sword hangs upside down above the door, emitting thunderous vibrations. With a single flash of its sword light, even a god who has endured countless eons will find it difficult to escape its calamity."

The Master of the Heavens smiled and personally answered his eldest disciple's question.

"Yes, teacher! I will go there myself right away."

Upon receiving this first-ever primordial killing formation, Daoist Duobao was filled with excitement. Finally, this day had come, and he could personally control this supreme treasure, just like Daoist Chaos.

Upon receiving the order, Daoist Duobao immediately led hundreds of Jiejiao disciples who were willing to follow him to the mortal realm to set up an array at Jiepai Pass.

During this period, the Xiqi army advanced with unstoppable momentum, and Jiang Ziya soon began to attack Sishui Pass. Unexpectedly, during this time, Han Sheng and Han Rong, the sons of Han Rong, the general of Sishui Pass, mastered the "Ten Thousand Ren Chariot" and actually slaughtered the army led by Jiang Ziya, causing rivers of blood to flow.

No matter how powerful a mortal is, how can he be a match for a celestial being? Since Guang Chengzi accomplished this great feat, he has become even more arrogant. Facing the "Ten Thousand Ren Chariot" of Sishui Pass, he smashed down with a "Heaven-Turning Seal," and the 100,000 guards of Sishui Pass were instantly reduced to ashes.

With the help of the Great Immortal, Jiang Ziya's two armies achieved victory and are now joining forces to march towards Jiepai Pass.
