Primordial Era: I, Yuan Hong, am solely focused on stability; humanity remains clear-headed

Chapter 112 The Overbearing Taiyi Zhenren! Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, Refining the Stone Rock!

Surrounding the Kunlun Mountains is Qianyuan Mountain.

Within this mountain lies a cultivation cave that radiates golden light, resembling the blazing sun of the mortal world. It is called the Golden Light Cave, and it is the cultivation cave of Taiyi Zhenren, a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect.

On this day, an old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face emerged from it. He wore a hair crown, had long, thin eyebrows, a long, flowing beard, prominent eyebrows, a broad forehead and round feet, clear and bright eyes, eyebrows in the shape of a single character, a nose like a hanging gall bladder, and lips like cinnabar.

He was dressed in a Taoist robe with a Tai Chi symbol, adorned with auspicious ornaments, his hair styled in two buns, wearing a wide-sleeved robe, silk ribbons, and hemp shoes. He held a whisk in his right hand, and his whole body exuded an aura of otherworldly grace, clearly indicating that he was a hermit master.

This old Taoist priest was none other than the True Man Taiyi.

He stepped out of his secluded retreat, gazed eastward, and remained calm.

Before long, two figures flew in from a distance, one chasing and the other fleeing; they were none other than Nezha and Shiji.

"Master, please save me!"

Nezha fled in panic all the way and finally arrived at Qianyuan Mountain. Upon seeing his master, he excitedly shouted.

He quickly flew to the vicinity of Taiyi Zhenren, and impatiently pointed to the rocky cliff behind him, saying angrily:

"That old hag chased me all the way. If I hadn't run fast, she might have killed me!"

Nezha glared fiercely at Shiji. Now that someone was backing him up, his confidence finally returned, and he became arrogant and domineering again.

He seemed completely oblivious to the fact that Shi Ji hadn't attacked him on the way; otherwise, at his speed, he wouldn't have had time to get here.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, I've long admired your name. Your disciple is truly unruly..."

Shi Ji flew close and performed a Taoist salute to Taiyi Zhenren, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.

However, what Taiyi Zhenren said next, despite his seemingly otherworldly demeanor, made Shiji's expression change drastically, and she frowned deeply.

"What are you, a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal? How dare you call yourself a fellow Daoist? You overestimate yourself."

Taiyi Zhenren looked at Shiji with disdain, making no attempt to hide it. His gaze was full of contempt.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were all arrogant and domineering, and Taiyi Zhenren was the best among them!

Even his fellow disciples, who were all Great Luo Golden Immortals with the same status, might not be given face by Master Taiyi.

Among them, besides Taiyi Zhenren himself being extremely powerful, possessing the cultivation level of a late-stage Daluo Jinxian, ranking among the top of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, there were others.

More importantly, Taiyi Zhenren was deeply favored by Yuanshi Tianzun!

With the favor and care of a sage, it would be impossible for Taiyi Zhenren not to be arrogant and domineering.

Therefore, given Taiyi's arrogance, how could he possibly give any face to a cultivator like Shiji who is below the Great Luo level?

Let alone the fact that the Chan and Jie sects are about to break off relations, even if the two sects have always been closely allied and their cooperation is very stable, Taiyi Zhenren would never respect Shiji, an outer disciple of the Jie sect!

"you!"

Shi Ji found it hard to believe. Taiyi Zhenren looked like a sage, but when he opened his mouth, he sounded like a local bully, without any of the demeanor of a great master of the Xuanmen sect!

No matter what, she was a second-generation disciple of the Jie Sect. Generally speaking, one should give face to the Buddha even if one doesn't respect the monk.

Acts like those of Taiyi Zhenren will only provoke disgust and create enemies everywhere.

However, since Master Taiyi had already said so, Shiji couldn't refute it. After all, he was a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Shi Ji's expression was somewhat unpleasant. She took a deep breath and slowly said:

"Your disciple Nezha killed my Biyun Boy because of his mischievousness. Then, he became even more unreasonable and argued, and killed my Caiyun Boy as well."

"Logically speaking, blood debts should be repaid in blood. However, he is, after all, a disciple of the Chan Jie sect, and your disciple. I wonder what your explanation is for this?"

Shi Ji certainly wouldn't forget that she had come here to demand an explanation.

The one who was in the wrong was Nezha.

"Explain? What a joke! Nezha is the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl, naturally carrying the mission of assisting the new Holy Lord and destroying the Shang Dynasty."

"His killing of your disciple proves that this calamity was destined for them!"

"When Nezha was out in the world, his every word and deed was in accordance with the will of Heaven and in accordance with the will of the people."

Master Taiyi laughed loudly and said matter-of-factly.

They wanted an explanation from him, but they've come to the wrong person!

Shi Ji gritted her teeth, never expecting that Taiyi Zhenren would be so shameless, daring to claim the title of a Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Xuanmen!

Or are all the disciples of the Chan Sect like this?

Outsiders say that the three religions are originally from the same source and are of the same lineage, but Taiyi Zhenren shows no respect and clearly favors his own over the truth.

Utterly shameless!

However, what Taiyi Zhenren said next caused Shiji's expression to change drastically.

"Speaking of which, I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you dared to chase my disciple all the way to my Qianyuan Mountain. Is this not a sign of contempt for my Chan Sect?"

"If I were to let you leave like this, the world might think that the disciples of my Chan Sect are weak and easily bullied."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji could no longer contain herself, and a sense of crisis rose in her heart.

She cursed inwardly, never expecting that not only was Master Taiyi unreasonable, but he would also attack her, which was extremely domineering!

"Taiyi, I am a disciple of the Jie Sect. Aren't you afraid that attacking me directly will create a rift between our two sects?"

"If my disciples from the Jie Sect were to find out, they would certainly not let you off so easily!"

Shi Ji shouted loudly, and flew backward, trying to get away from this place as soon as possible.

Now, Qianyuan Mountain has undoubtedly become a den of dragons and tigers.

"Hahaha! Why would I care about such things?"

"If anyone disagrees with my actions, let him come to me and we'll see whose methods are superior!"

"I am Taiyi Zhenren," he said domineeringly, then shook his head dismissively as Shiji tried to leave.

They thought they could use the name of the Jie Sect to make him hesitate, but they were overthinking it.

After all, as an important disciple of the Chan Sect, he probably knew that the relationship between the Chan and Jie sects would never be the same again during this great calamity!

Since that's the case, Taiyi naturally won't take it to heart anymore.

"You think you can escape from me? With your cultivation level, you're far from enough."

Taiyi Zhenren stroked his beard, smiled proudly, and as he spoke, he flicked his sleeve, summoning a bowl-shaped spiritual treasure.

Swish!

Suddenly, a dome rapidly expanded, becoming as large as a mountain, and flew as fast as a shooting star, instantly reaching the top of Shi Ji's head.

An extremely powerful aura locked onto Shi Ji, preventing her from escaping.

pat!

The next moment, the enormous bowl-shaped magical artifact directly covered Shi Ji from below, sealing her off as if isolating her in an independent world, no longer connected to the outside world.

raging!

At the same time, within the Lingbao, which resembled an inverted bowl, bursts of blazing flames, even more terrifying than the legendary Samadhi True Fire, capable of easily melting immortal gold and divine iron!

It is none other than the most powerful magic weapon of Taiyi Zhenren – the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover!
