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

Is this first battle something that someone with Liu Chenxiang's cultivation level can participate in?

However, Liu Chenxiang had already charged out, and at this point, even Master Ziyang couldn't pull him back. Wouldn't that be a loss of face for both Liu Chenxiang and the Jie Sect?

At this moment, Master Ziyang only hoped that this kid might have some powerful treasure bestowed upon him by Senior Brother Yuan Hong, so that he could save his life.

"Kid! You've got some nerve. What are you capable of? Daring to be the first to go into battle?"

Chagna Dorje Rinpoche glanced disdainfully at Liu Chenxiang and ordered the Tibetan monk beside him, "Go and deal with this brat!"

"Yes! Living Buddha!"

The disciple beside him received the decree and flew out.

He looked at Liu Chenxiang and sneered, "Boy, go back quickly, or don't blame me for being ruthless and taking your life!"

"court death!"

Liu Chenxiang was furious. He flipped his hand, and a gilded long staff appeared in his hand.

Because his teacher Yuan Hong was skilled in staff techniques, he rewarded Liu Chenxiang with a treasure he acquired later in life, the "Nether Iron Staff".

The material of this staff comes from the Nine Netherworld. This treasure was refined by Yuan Hong and its power is not weak. At least a minor immortal like Liu Chenxiang is not qualified to possess it.

As soon as he drew his "Ghost Iron Cudgel," Liu Chenxiang smashed it down on the Tibetan monk's forehead!

"You rude brat!"

The Tibetan monks, however, remained unfazed. With a flash of light in their hands, each of them produced a monk's knife.

The monks moved, swinging their two daggers to protect themselves in the center, creating an impenetrable barrier. At the same time, the two blades slashed towards Liu Chenxiang.

"Such fast swordsmanship!"

"Clang clang clang..." Liu Chenxiang switched from offense to defense, feeling as if the sky was filled with flashing blades, his arms were sore and numb from the constant slashing, and he had no chance to retaliate.

"Hahaha! Kid, now you know how powerful Buddha is!"

The monk laughed loudly, and his knife moved even faster.

At the same time, a string of Buddhist prayer beads on his chest suddenly flew up and fell towards Liu Chenxiang's head.

"not good!"

Liu Chenxiang was startled. He opened his mouth and spat out a five-colored light. A "Lotus Lantern" flew out. The light on the lantern flashed and Liu Chenxiang's power increased greatly.

Their movements became much faster, allowing them to dodge the attack from the string of prayer beads.

Immediately, Liu Chenxiang moved and unleashed his supernatural power of having three heads and six arms, each hand holding a magical treasure. The "Lotus Lantern" floated above his head and possessed an invulnerability to all magic.

"Hahaha! You foreign monk, watch how powerful I am!"

With the blessing of the "Lotus Lantern", Liu Chenxiang's strength increased greatly, and he even unleashed the supernatural power of "three heads and six arms". For a time, he killed the monks and made them retreat in defeat.

Suddenly, Liu Chenxiang's "Nether Iron Rod" changed from smashing to stabbing. The Tibetan monk tried to dodge, but it was too late. He could only swing his monk's knife horizontally, but it was no match for Liu Chenxiang's speed.

"Bang!"

The Tibetan monk was stabbed hard in the chest. Although the "Nether Iron Rod" did not have a spearhead, it was empowered by the "Shangqing Immortal Technique" and was extremely powerful. The Tibetan monk spat out a mouthful of blood, several of his ribs were broken, and his internal organs were even injured.

"Die!"

Liu Chenxiang shouted and struck again with his "Nether Iron Cudgel," sending the Tibetan monk he was fighting flying.

The Tibetan monk shouted and turned to leave!

"Where do you think you're going!"

Relying on his own agility, Liu Chenxiang used the peerless movement technique "Golden Light Across the Ground" and caught up with the man in an instant.

The "ghost iron rod" struck the Tibetan monk on the back of the head with a "bang," and the monk's skull shattered, resulting in his tragic death on the Yangtze River.

With a "plop," the man's body fell into the river.

"You little beast! How dare you kill my disciple!"

Chana Dorje Rinpoche was furious. He roared and with a sway of his body, he created nine clones, each of which was the real Chana Dorje Rinpoche.

The nine clones surrounded and attacked Liu Chenxiang.

This is a sure-fire death situation!

"Stop your insolence! How dare you bully a junior member of my Jie Sect?"

When Master Ziyang saw that Living Buddha Chana Dorje was using this method to deal with Liu Chenxiang, he immediately knew that even if Liu Chenxiang had a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, he could not last long.

His figure blurred, and he appeared on the battlefield, unleashing "Southern Bright Fire" to burn the nine clones of Chana Dorje Living Buddha.

"Hmph! You think you can be afraid of me!"

With a loud shout, Cha Na Dorje Rinpoche abandoned Liu Chenxiang and charged towards Master Ziyang.

Liu Chenxiang let out a long breath, not daring to linger in the center of the battlefield. He moved and returned to his own camp.

"Hey! The 'Samadhi True Fire Formation'!"

Before the Living Buddha Chana Dorje could react, he was taken into Master Ziyang's formation and disappeared into the world.

This "Samadhi True Fire Grand Formation" is a self-contained space and is a traditional formation passed down through the "Fire Dragon Island" lineage. Over the years, through the refinement of generations of disciples and followers, this formation can now be moved at will and set up at any time, possessing unpredictable power.

Chagna Dorje Rinpoche, however, only felt an extremely powerful force appear beside him, dragging him into a scorching space.

When he came to his senses, he found himself in a world of red flames, with everything around him burning with fire—fire in wood, fire in stone, and fire in the air.

Furthermore, thick, billowing black smoke emerged from within the "Samadhi Fire".

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, the Living Buddha Nacha Na Dorje was coughing incessantly from the smoke of the flames, and tears were almost streaming from his eyes.

At that moment, a sound rang out from who-knows-where.

"Chanar Dorje Rinpoche, you have now fallen into my 'Samadhi True Fire Formation.' Let's see how powerful I am! Hahaha!"

That mighty voice came from Master Ziyang.

"You despicable scoundrel, you actually used a formation to ambush this humble monk!"

Cha Na Dorje Living Buddha was furious. A golden light shone brightly on his monk's robe, forming a circle that protected him. At the same time, he held his staff in his hand, always on guard against the appearance of Master Ziyang.

"Still being stubborn! Let's see if you survive today and escape from my formation!"

Master Ziyang, hidden on the platform of the "Samadhi True Fire Array," spoke coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the power of the great formation suddenly increased, and countless flames appeared out of thin air in the space within a radius of a hundred miles.

Besides the "Samadhi True Fire," even the "Southern Bright Fire" appeared in the formation, with endless flames compressing the living space of the Living Buddha Chana Dorje.

It kept burning against the golden halo...

"not good!"

Chagna Dorje Rinpoche was greatly alarmed upon seeing this.

If he were to be touched by these flames, he would probably be burned to nothing in an instant, even his "relics" would be destroyed, and he would not be able to reincarnate and start anew.

This was the most dangerous moment for Chagna Dorje Rinpoche.

With a pained expression, the Living Buddha Chana Dorje took out a jade bottle from his robes, waved his hand, pulled out the stopper, and poured out a long river.

This water is no ordinary water; it is some "holy water of the Ganges" that he collected when Lingshan was still there.

At this moment, everything was poured out, forming a river within the great formation with a "whoosh".

"Haha! How dare you use water within my great formation? You're courting death!"

After saying this, Master Ziyang took out a bead, which was his magic weapon, the "Heart Fire Bead".

The fire intensified after the bead was brought out.

The power of the "Samadhi True Fire Formation" was even greater, and the "water of the Ganges" offered by the Tibetan monks boiled.

It keeps evaporating.

The day the Ganges River, which protects the Living Buddha Chana Dorje, dries up will be the day of his demise!

Without external help, Chagna Dorje Rinpoche would have absolutely no hope of escaping.

Chagna Dorje Rinpoche also knew this, and at this moment, this "Sakya" master was somewhat desperate.

At this moment, Master Ziyang's voice rang out again, "Qiana Dorje Living Buddha, why don't you surrender now? Let's see how you resist this sky full of flames."

As they spoke, the countless flames continued to burn toward Chana Dorje Living Buddha, and the Buddha's light on that layer dimmed considerably.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, Chagna Dorje Rinpoche will not be able to hold on for long. When his spiritual power is exhausted, the protective barrier will naturally disappear, and that will be the time when Chagna Dorje Rinpoche passes away.

Gradually, the golden protective shield became thinner and thinner, and the golden light became dimmer and dimmer. The Living Buddha Chana Dorje looked gloomy. He never expected that he would actually encounter a master of the Jie Sect and that his life would be in danger.

Chagna Dorje Rinpoche sat cross-legged, chanting the "Rebirth Mantra," preparing to accept his destiny.

In an instant, the protective shield of Buddha's light shattered, and the Living Buddha Chana Dorje was reduced to ashes amidst the raging "Samadhi Fire".

Just when Master Ziyang thought the situation was settled, suddenly, the relics of Living Buddha Chana Dorje flew out, and with a sudden tremor in mid-air, a loud "boom" was heard. At the cost of destroying all the magic treasures, a gap was gained, shattering the world of the "Samadhi True Fire Formation".

The already dimmed relic actually managed to slip out through the only narrow crack.

"Oh no! Where do you think you're going?"

Master Ziyang was startled, but quickly realized that he had underestimated his opponent.

When he finished using the "Samadhi True Fire Formation" and emerged from it, revealing himself to the outside world, the relics of the Living Buddha Nachara Dorje had already escaped to the other side.

"Superior Divine Thunder!"

Enraged, Master Ziyang raised his palm and unleashed a bolt of lightning. With a deafening boom, several Tibetan monks in the opposite clouds were reduced to ashes.

"Amitabha……"

Just as Master Ziyang rushed forward to seize the relics of the Living Buddha Chana Dorje, he saw two monks approaching from afar.

"Oh no! The Buddhist forces have arrived as reinforcements!"

Without further ado, Master Ziyang made another move, intending to seize the relics of Living Buddha Chana Dorje before the two monks arrived.

"stop!"

Before Master Ziyang could make another move, the two monks had already arrived, moving faster than anyone could have imagined.

Even a powerful Grand Luo Golden Immortal like Master Ziyang couldn't help but be startled.

He stopped and looked around, and saw that these two monks were completely different from the other monks.

One of them was wearing a tattered gray monk's robe, holding a broken palm-leaf fan in his left hand and a wine gourd in his right.

He looked like a beggar.

The other one was different from the skinny monk; he was a fat monk with a big belly and a smiling face.

The monk was plump and strong, and his yellow robe gave him a very imposing presence.

"Oh no! It's the monk Ji Gong and the Buddha Maitreya!"

These two monks are so distinctive that, apart from the Demon Realm which has just been merged into the Primordial World, everyone in the other three realms with some cultivation knows them.

Upon seeing that it was these two people who had arrived, Master Ziyang secretly lamented that he was no match for the former First Arhat, the Dragon-Subduing Arhat.

Not to mention the future Buddha of Buddhism!

Even if these two are in the midst of a calamity, they are not people that ordinary Golden Immortals can handle.

"So you are two holy monks! This humble Taoist greets you."

Master Ziyang completely gave up on pursuing the relics of Living Buddha Chana Dorje. With the appearance of such a quasi-saint reincarnation in Buddhism, his plan had completely failed.

At this moment, the focus should not be on how to drive away the Buddhists, but on how to protect oneself and ask the elders of the sect to step in.

"You Taoist priest are extremely rude, with a fierce and menacing appearance, your murderous aura is too strong! Too strong!"

With a grin on his face, Ji Gong waved his tattered fan and spoke of the Purple Sun Immortal.

"What you say is very true, senior! My cultivation is not deep enough, and I was angered for no reason. I will surely comprehend the Great Dao in the future and calm my mind."

Master Ziyang was speechless. This old fellow was really troublesome. He was unlucky to have run into the two of them.

Although Master Ziyang cursed in his heart, he actually admired Ji Gong and Maitreya Buddha very much.

These two wandered the mortal world, traversing the four continents, saving countless lives and accumulating boundless merit.

Such a quasi-saint level master has been walking in the mortal world for hundreds of years, and has never changed his original intention. Such a virtuous monk is highly respected even by the masters of the Xuanmen sect.

If it weren't for the fact that Taoism and Buddhism belong to different sects, Master Ziyang would really not want to be enemies with such a high-ranking monk.

"Amitabha! Your esteemed sect is a great esoteric religion. How can you raise an army to fight against the Yuan Dynasty today? Isn't this just causing countless ordinary people to suffer the pain of war?"

Maitreya Buddha also said with a smile.

"This matter was not started by our Jie Sect!"

Since fighting is no match for them, it's only natural to talk about reason. Master Ziyang's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "The Yuan Dynasty raised an unjust army and successively destroyed the Jin, Song, and Xia kingdoms. Its brutal rule caused immense suffering to the human race! Our sect is a great sect for the human race, in charge of the teachings of heaven and earth. We have compassion for the suffering of the people and naturally have the obligation to overthrow the tyranny and allow the common people to enjoy peace and live in prosperity."

"this……"

Maitreya Buddha and Ji Gong met at first glance. Both were highly accomplished in their arts, and with just one look at the Yuan Dynasty land, they sensed boundless resentment from the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

The two naturally knew that what Master Ziyang said was true.

Given their status and character, as figures like Maitreya Buddha and the monk Jigong, they would naturally not speak against their conscience. (End of Chapter)
