Entering the Investiture of the Gods, starting by controlling the three calamities of wind and thund

"A rhinoceros gazing at the moon reaching the heavens?"

"Three thousand miles west of Meishan lies the Xuanshui Cave, where three Heavenly Moon-Gazing Rhinoceroses reside. They have all cultivated into spirits and are known as the Three Great Kings who ward off the cold, heat, and dust."

"These three rhinoceros demons all possess the cultivation of Earth Immortals, but unfortunately they are not on the same path as me; they belong to the demon cultivation lineage."

Some time ago, Jin Dasheng returned to Meishan and tamed a unicorn to serve as his mount.

On this trip, he met these three demons.

"Oh?"

"To avoid the cold, the heat, and the dust?"

Xin Huan had a sudden thought: Could these three rhinoceros demons be the three demons of Jinping Prefecture from the great calamity of Journey to the West?

"Legend has it that those three demons had a past relationship with the Dragon King of the West Sea, which is why they were able to occupy a water vein cave and cultivate to the Earth Immortal realm in the mortal world!"

Jin Dasheng immediately spoke up. He was quite familiar with the three demons, as their backgrounds were extraordinary.

"The Dragon King of the West Sea?"

"Brother Li Jing, I would like to trouble you and Yuan Hong to go to the East Sea to borrow the rhinoceros horn of the Tongtian Wangyue for a while."

"If those three demons are sensible, we can spare their lives. If they are ignorant of fate, you two can act as you see fit, but don't waste the opportunity!"

Xin Huan immediately spoke up. At this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else; everything had to be prioritized for the cause of the Investiture of the Gods.

"Here you go!"

The two men accepted the order and immediately fled.

"Ugh!"

"Uncle Jiang's life has been filled with many hardships!"

Xin Huan came to Jiang Ziya's side and used cinnabar as ink to carve a mysterious magic symbol on his body.

Xin Huan then crafted a Seven Star Lamp and placed it on Jiang Ziya's head to protect his seven souls.

"This Seven Star Lamp can protect the Prime Minister's seven souls. Every time a soul lamp is extinguished, it means that one of the Prime Minister's seven souls has been taken away by Yao Tianjun!"

"We only have half a month left. If we cannot refine the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, the Prime Minister will likely suffer another calamity, and his chances of survival will be nigh!"

The Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill can restore Ziya's three souls and return his seven spirits, and can also break the Fallen Soul Formation.

"Time waits for no one, hurry and find the elixir!"

Fortunately, Yang Jian left behind the Howling Celestial Dog before he left, which could guide the group of cultivators to gather spiritual herbs in the mountains.

Within a few days, all the medicinal herbs were ready!

With the help of the connections of the Four Seas Dragon Palace, Yuan Hong successfully obtained a Heaven-Rising Rhinoceros Horn from the three demons.

Inside the General's Mansion in Xiqi City.

Xin Huan sat upright in the quiet room. With a thought, a wisp of innate fire floated down from above and landed in the alchemy furnace.

Countless medicinal herbs were thrown into the alchemy furnace, turning into a bright green liquid that churned and bubbled within.

A primordial flame appeared in the alchemy furnace. The flame turned once, and the heat rose. After another turn, it became warm. After nine such turns, the medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace turned amber and became semi-solid.

A fragrant aroma wafted out, and the medicinal liquid churned and evaporated into the air. Xin Huan formed hand seals and cast talismans into the liquid.

As soon as the talisman entered the alchemy furnace, it transformed into countless divine runes of the Great Dao, which were then inscribed into the elixir.

In a short while, a strong fragrance of elixir burst forth, and the elixir energy above the furnace swirled and formed dragons and tigers.

A radiant light appeared and disappeared, and the elixir suddenly underwent nine cycles, thus completing the Jade Liquid Rejuvenation Pill. At this moment, the Jade Purity Secret Medicine Nine-Cycle Rejuvenation Pill was finally successfully completed!

"Many divine substances were gathered in one furnace, and I used my great supernatural powers to refine this batch of elixirs."

"The Jade Elixir of Rejuvenation is already quite remarkable; I wonder what extraordinary effects the Golden Elixir, which surpasses it, will possess?"

Xin Huan sighed, then waved his hand and used the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle to put the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill into the bottle, and used the Three Lights Divine Water to dissolve the pill.

After Ziya took it, his seven souls were stabilized.

The Three Lights Divine Water is a rare innate substance that can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, possessing boundless vitality. It can also nourish Ziya's physical body. The Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill can stabilize Ziya's seven souls, preventing them from easily leaving his body.

With both methods employed simultaneously, a foolproof plan had been devised. Even if Yao Tianjun kowtowed to the straw effigy every day, he could not possibly cause Ziya's three souls and seven spirits to dissipate completely.

On the other side, within the Shang army camp, in the desolate formation, Yao Tianjun straightened his robes and entered the formation.

"Hiss, how strange!"

"How can Jiang Ziya's seven souls be so stable? I have been praying to him for seven days in a row, and I was about to gain another soul, but now the seven souls have merged into one."

"I refuse to believe I can't kneel down!"

Yao Tianjun, with disheveled hair and wielding a sword, walked the steps of the Big Dipper at Leimen. In front of him was a straw figure with a dim and pale soul lamp on its head, which represented the seven souls of Ziya.

Yao Tianjun struck the token, and the lamp went out. Ziya's three souls burst out of the gourd and fell into the straw figure. Yao Tianjun bowed several times, but the soul lamp did not go out, which meant that Ziya's seven spirits were not extinguished.

"How strange!"

"Jiang Ziya's three souls have been collected, so why haven't his seven spirits returned? Has he truly encountered a ghost?"

Yao Tianjun bowed again and again, almost breaking his back, but the soul lamp in front of him remained as bright as a bean!

"Why doesn't that woman come back!"

Yao Tianjun was agitated. He slammed the token down and immediately began to curse, displaying his impotent rage.

Inside Xiqi City, Xin Huan summoned Nezha and others to discuss important military matters and how to rescue Jiang Ziya.

Inside Xiqi City, Xin Huan summoned Nezha and others to discuss important military matters and how to rescue Jiang Ziya.

"Now that the Prime Minister's seven souls are stable and his life force has been restored, only his three spirits have not yet returned. Therefore, this humble Taoist wishes to explore the Soul-Losing Formation and retrieve the Prime Minister's three spirits!"

Xin Huan immediately spoke up, saying that the loss of the three souls for too long would also cause great damage to cultivators, and this must be guarded against. The only way now is to take the risk and find out the truth.

"uncle!"

"That Desolate Formation is no ordinary formation; it closes the gate of life and opens the gate of death, containing a concentrated energies of heaven and earth, harboring immense terror and endless killing intent!"

"You might go there rashly; something could go wrong!"

Nezha immediately spoke up, saying that Xiqi now only has Xin Huan, an Immortal Golden Immortal, left. If he were to perish in the Fallen Formation, the morale of Xiqi's army would likely collapse.

"Although that Fallen Formation is extraordinary, I have also discerned some of its mysteries. Within the formation is a white banner bearing Taoist talismans. If an immortal enters this formation, the white banner will unfurl, and their soul will dissipate, vanishing in an instant!"

"But I have a primordial spiritual treasure protecting me, and I have also mastered immense supernatural powers, so I will have no fear entering this formation!"

"You all refuse to defend the city; I will return shortly."

Xin Huan immediately spoke up, and then used earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the earth) to go outside the city and directly to the Fallen Formation.

Upon entering the city, one sees a dark aura shrouding the sky in the desolate formation, yin and yang intertwined, a mournful wind howling, cold mist drifting, and ghostly wails echoing endlessly.

"What a vicious and pathetic formation!"

Xin Huan used an invisibility spell to slip into the Fallen Formation. Above him, Yao Tianjun was in a fit of impotent rage, his features almost bursting with fury.

"Perfect timing!"

Just as Yao Tianjun was enraged, he suddenly saw a mosquito land on the altar and come to rest on the head of the straw figure.

"When did these insects appear in my ranks again?"

"This is bad! It must be the work of those Daoist envoys from Xiqi. They want to steal Jiang Ziya's three souls!"

Yao Tianjun realized what was happening and immediately poured a handful of black sand from the gourd, scattering it directly at the straw man.

Haha~

"Yao Tianjun, you've fallen for my trap!"

Xin Huan immediately spoke up. In a flash of light, he had already put the straw man into his pocket. He then used an earth-遁 (earth-遁) technique to escape from the dilapidated array!

"Oh dear!"

"How despicable you disciples of the Chan Sect! How dare you resort to such despicable tactics, deceiving and ambushing me!"

Yao Tianjun scattered endless black sand, which transformed into gusts of black wind that obliterated the ghostly souls within the formation.

"This desolate formation is truly sinister. A chilling wind blows within, and a white banner flutters. Any immortal who enters is instantly annihilated, their soul vanishing!"

"If it weren't for the protection of my innate spiritual treasure, I fear I would have perished in this desolate formation!"

Yao Tianjun's array core was a white banner, an acquired spiritual treasure. This banner was a soul-summoning banner that could communicate with the underworld and possessed boundless power. Combined with the array diagram of the Fallen Soul Array, it actually transformed this place into a human underworld.
