After guarding the gates for a hundred years, I drove the Heavenly Saint to madness.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.

On the city wall of Jiepai Pass, Xiao Wuji was squatting on the battlement, holding a hot meat bun in his hand, eating and chatting with Xu Gai next to him without any regard for his image.

"Old Xu, do you think the members of the Chan Sect have all been driven to despair by the beatings?"

Xiao Wuji swallowed a mouthful of minced meat and said indistinctly, "Logically speaking, Shennong's medicine should have taken effect last night."

"Knowing those old guys as I do, once they've recovered, they'll definitely come looking for trouble."

"It's already high in the sky and there's still no movement. Could it be that they've been scared out of their wits by my 50,000 iron cavalry and are busy writing self-criticisms?"

Xu Gai gave a wry smile and was about to reply.

Suddenly, the clear sky around Jiepai Pass darkened instantly, as if someone had splashed a basin of thick ink on it.

Immediately afterwards, five terrifying pressures, like five ancient divine mountains descending from the sky, locked down every inch of space at Jiepai Pass.

Xu Gai's knees buckled, and he almost knelt down on the spot.

Xiao Wuji raised an eyebrow, and with an extremely natural movement, stuffed the remaining half of the bun into his mouth, patted the flour off his hands, and then slowly stood up and looked up at the sky.

"Oh?"

Xiao Wuji feigned surprise, his eyes widening as he looked at the five figures standing in five directions, his tone exaggerated:

"Isn't this the Antarctic Old Man? Why are you back so early? I thought you were going to stay in the Fire Cloud Cave for a few more days to ask the Three Sovereigns for a cup of tea."

In the east, the Antarctic Immortal, holding a staff adorned with coiled dragons, stood with a somber expression. He glanced at the young Taoist still wiping his mouth, and the muscles at the corner of his eye twitched involuntarily.

This wretched creature, even on the verge of death, is still eating steamed buns?

"Xiao Wuji".

The voice of the Antarctic Immortal was icy and chilling, devoid of its usual compassionate pretense.

"You don't need to waste your breath here. I admit that I underestimated you before, allowing you to take advantage of my weakness."

"But today..." The Old Man of the South Pole glanced around, full of confidence.

"Our Chan Sect has sent out all its elite members; your paltry tricks are about to come to an end."

Xiao Wuji glanced around.

The Old Man of the South Pole, the Taoist Master Burning Lamp, Guang Chengzi, and also Manjushri and Cihang.

Good heavens, the Chan Sect's high-end combat power, apart from those in seclusion and those who have died, is basically all here.

Xiao Wuji was overjoyed when his gaze fell on the figure riding a sika deer in the south.

"Oh my, isn't this Vice Master Ran Deng?"

Xiao Wuji greeted him warmly, as if he were seeing an old acquaintance: "You left so quickly last time that I didn't have a chance to see you off."

"What, you went back to rest and recuperate, and now you think you're ready again? Don't abandon your teammates and run away this time, okay? Look at the resentful look in Uncle Guangchengzi's eyes, tsk tsk tsk."

Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi, who was in the west, turned as black as the bottom of a pot. The veins on the back of his hand, which was gripping the Fallen Bell, bulged. He wished he could rush down and tear Xiao Wuji's mouth apart right now.

The Taoist Ran Deng remained indifferent, his cloudy old eyes filled with only deathly stillness.

He spoke as if looking at a dead man, his voice hoarse and dry: "Sharp-tongued. Hopefully, your bones will be as hard as your mouth later."

Xiao Wuji shrugged, looking indifferent: "I don't know if I'm tough or not, but I do know that you guys are really shameless."

"What, you can't beat them one-on-one, so you're planning to gang up on them?"

"As long as it can eliminate evil and uphold justice, why bother with the means?"

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, coldly rebuked, his Dharma form solemn: "Xiao Wuji, you have defied the heavens and slaughtered your fellow disciples. Today, we are acting on behalf of heaven to deliver justice and will place you on the list!"

"Acting on behalf of Heaven?"

Xiao Wuji's smile gradually faded, and his eyes turned cold.

"Alright, stop patting yourself on the back. All you want is revenge, right? Why make it sound so noble?"

He stood with his hands behind his back, facing the encirclement of five powerful figures, his spine ramrod straight, exuding an air of arrogance.

"Want to kill me? Then come on! Let me see what new tricks you've got up your sleeve this time!"

"Let's see if you're planning to drown me in your spittle or glare me to death?"

This blatant contempt ignited the fury in the hearts of all the immortals.

"Further discussion is pointless."

The Antarctic Immortal took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. He knew he couldn't let this brat continue, or he would disrupt their Dao hearts.

"Fellow disciples, form the formation!"

"Today, let him see what it means for the sky to fall and the earth to collapse, and what it means to have nowhere to escape!"

At the command of the Antarctic Immortal, the Burning Lamp Daoist, who had been waiting in ambush, suddenly flashed a burst of light in his eyes.

"You wicked creature! Prepare to die!!"

With a sharp shout, Ran Deng hurled his withered hand toward the sky.

Om-!

Twenty-four dazzling five-colored rays of light instantly flew out from his sleeves and soared into the sky.

Those are twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls!

Each bead swelled in the air, growing to a size of ten thousand feet in the blink of an eye. Chaotic energy swirled within the beads, as if the sound of creation and opening of the world could be heard emanating from them.

Mountains, rivers, sun, moon, stars...

Twenty-four real and heavy phantom images of small worlds appeared in the sky above Jiepai Pass.

They were interconnected, their breaths blending together to form a giant circular millstone.

"The Twenty-Four Heavens Sealing Formation—Fall!!"

With a ferocious expression, Ran Deng pressed down hard with both hands.

Rumble—!!!

The sky has truly fallen.

This is not an illusion, but a real weight.

Twenty-four ancient divine mountains, each representing a different realm, bearing a terrifying weight of billions of tons, crashed down upon Jiepai Pass!

These twenty-four heavens were not blessed by any laws, but were purely weight. Wherever they passed, the void shattered layer by layer, revealing a dense chaotic mist.

Click!Click!

The protective array above Jiepai Pass cracked under the immense pressure the moment it came into contact with it.

"puff--!"

Inside the city, although Xu Gai and the other ordinary soldiers were protected by a great formation, the terrifying pressure that penetrated still made their blood surge and their bodies unsteady.

"Is this all you've got?"

Despite the chaotic and primordial energy hanging from his head, and the terrifying weight that seemed to crush him into a pulp, Xiao Wuji showed no fear in his eyes. Instead, a strange look flashed across his face.

He looked up at the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls in the sky, which shone with five-colored light.

"Tsk."

Xiao Wuji shook his head, a mocking yet cold smile slowly curving his lips.

He slowly extended one hand, and in his palm, five-colored divine light began to swirl wildly, eventually transforming into a pitch-black vortex.

"Light the lamp, oh light the lamp..."

"You've been hiding these treasures, fine, but now you dare to bring them out and put them right in front of me?"

Xiao Wuji's eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he were looking at a rich kid who was throwing his money away to get himself killed.

"It seems that I've been fighting you in the great formation for too long these days, and you've forgotten what I was originally like."

This isn't a joke, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "The Hundred-Year Guardian of the Gods: I Driven the Heavenly Sage Crazy":
