Chapter 83: The Defeat of the Xuanmen
The human race's most precious treasure was born at Shouyang Mountain. The Xuan Chu lineage and the Six Saints of Xuanmen fought fiercely for it, and even the Zhuxian Sword Formation and the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation were brought out.
When Hongjun in Zixiao Palace saw that even the phantom of Pangu had appeared, and that Shouyang Mountain was now equivalent to nine saints fighting, the prehistoric world, which had just experienced the decisive battle between the Wu and Yao, could not withstand such great energy. Therefore, Hongjun hurriedly left Zixiao Palace and planned to go to Shouyang Mountain. However, Hongjun was stopped by Xuanchu not long after.
"Hongjun, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you planning to go?" Xuan Chu asked, looking at Hongjun.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Chu, the Primordial World has just stabilized after the Lich War, which split it into four continents. It is far from being able to withstand such a great war. If we do not stop them, there may be a catastrophe that destroys the world," Hongjun said, appearing compassionate and sympathetic.
"Stop them? Hongjun, don't you know what they're fighting over? Does your Xuanmen sect want to give up the spiritual treasure? If so, I can make Tongtian and the others stop." Xuanchu said. Xuanchu was most disgusted by Hongjun's behavior. He was clearly an ambitious man, yet he pretended to be a compassionate and merciful person. Who was he trying to fool? If he really cared about the good of the prehistoric world, then he should give up the human race's fortune treasure. Otherwise, forget about it.
"Xuan Chu, you..." Xuan Chu stumped Hong Jun. Give up the treasure of human destiny? How could that be possible? Since Xuan Chu's birth, Hong Jun had been tricked by Xuan Chu so many times. He was hoping to seize the treasure of human destiny and make human destiny rise again. How could he possibly hand over the treasure of human destiny?
"Reluctant to part with them? If you're reluctant, then stay here quietly and watch the younger generation compete. Don't always try to interfere in this and that," Xuan Chu said.
"Sigh..." Hongjun sighed. With Xuan Chu around, he had no chance to go to the Primordial World unless he could defeat Xuan Chu. But this was Chaos, and he couldn't get all the blessings of the Heavenly Dao, so he couldn't win at all.
On Shouyang Mountain, the secret technique of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" was discovered. Taishang was actually able to fight against Houtu and the phantom of Pangu together. This really surprised Houtu. She thought that no matter how strong Taishang was, he would definitely not be able to defeat her and the phantom of Pangu. But she did not expect that Taishang had such a powerful trump card. Fortunately, she listened to Tongtian and brought the Twelve Ancestral Witches with her. Otherwise, she would have been defeated by Taishang in no time.
Of the three battles, it was Yuanshi who was the first to be defeated. Originally, with Yuanshi's strength, even if he couldn't defeat Styx, he could still be evenly matched. However, after Taishang used One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi's mind was in turmoil the moment he saw Yuqing Daoist. He felt that Taishang was hiding too many things from him, and that Taishang had even harmed him without his knowledge.
With too many distracting thoughts, Yuanshi was unable to concentrate on fighting Styx. In a battle between saints, victory or defeat often hinges on a single moment. In that instant when Yuanshi's attention was diverted, Styx used Yuan Tu and A Bi to break through the defenses of Zhutian Qingyun and injure Yuanshi.
After being injured, Yuanshi did not continue fighting. Instead, he glanced at Taishang with a complicated look, then ran back to Kunlun Mountain without looking back. He had lost, and Taishang and the others could not win either. Since the outcome was already decided, there was no point in staying here.
After defeating the Primordial One, Styx originally planned to go and assist Tongtian, first defeating Jieyin, Zhunti, Nuwa, and Zhenyuanzi, and then joining forces with Houtu to deal with Taishang.
"Junior Brother Minghe, I can handle things here. You should go and help Sister Houtu." Before Minghe could even enter the Zhuxian Sword Formation, Tongtian suggested that Minghe go help Houtu. Taishang had used the secret technique of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, and Houtu no longer had a chance to finish the battle quickly. Although the combined Pangu phantom of the Twelve Ancestral Witches could fight against a sage, the problem was that the Twelve Ancestral Witches were only Hunyuan Golden Immortals, and their magic power could not last. If the stalemate continued, they would disintegrate sooner or later. Once the Pangu phantom was gone, Houtu would be defeated without a doubt when facing Taishang alone.
"Alright!" For Styx, it didn't matter who he helped first. Since Tongtian had said so, Styx naturally wouldn't say anything more and then joined the battle between Houtu and Taishang.
With the addition of the Styx River, Houtu's pressure was greatly reduced. Although the three incarnations of Taishang were not as good as her, they were all real saints. If it weren't for the Pangu phantom, she would have lost long ago. Fortunately, the Pangu phantom was quite powerful. The Pangu phantom, which was a combination of the twelve Ancestral Witches who were all Hunyuan Golden Immortals, could even defeat Nuwa. No matter how strong the three incarnations of Taishang were, they could not be stronger than Nuwa.
Houtu is relieved, but Taishang is in trouble. Especially after Yuanshi ran away, Taishang knows that he has lost today. Although Jieyin and the others are still there, they cannot break Tongtian's Zhuxian Sword Formation in a short time, especially now that Tongtian has the innate treasure Chaos Bell, its strength is far greater than when it fought the East Sea.
Taishang glanced at Lingbao in the air, sighed deeply, then withdrew his Three Pure Ones avatars and said expressionlessly, "Houtu, I'll let you off this time. There will be plenty of time in the future, and I will get my revenge." With that, he left.
"Hmph!" Houtu scoffed at Taishang's stubbornness and said, "Taishang, I hope you can keep your word."
"Senior Sister Houtu, now that Taishang and Yuanshi have been defeated one after another, it's time to deal with Jieyin and the others," Styx said to Houtu. Taishang and Yuanshi have both fled, so it's time to settle things with Jieyin and the others.
Before Houtu and Styx could make a move, Jieyin and the others sensed something was wrong. Jieyin secretly transmitted his voice to Zhunti: "Junior brother, Taishang and Yuanshi have both run away. We have no chance of winning today. Let's leave. Once Houtu, Styx, and the phantom of Pangu join us, we won't be able to leave even if we want to."
"Alright, I'll listen to my senior brother." Although Zhunti was very obsessed with spiritual treasures, he could still distinguish between personal safety and spiritual treasures. He didn't want to go to the Heavenly Dao Origin Space again.
Soon, taking advantage of Tongtian's inattention, Jieyin and Zhunti withdrew from the Zhuxian Sword Formation and ran towards Mount Sumeru without looking back.
With Jieyin and Zhunti gone, Nuwa and Zhenyuanzi faced a great calamity. The four of them had barely managed to suppress the Zhuxian Sword Formation with their combined strength, but now only two of them remained. They were quickly injured and defeated by the Zhuxian Sword Qi, and what's more, the two of them couldn't escape because Houtu and the Styx had already blocked them.
"Houtu, my sister, Styx, my junior brother, wait!" Just as Houtu and Styx were about to attack Nuwa and Zhenyuanzi, Tongtian spoke up to stop them.
Tongtian withdrew the Zhuxian Sword Formation and came before Nuwa and Zhenyuanzi, saying, "Nuwa, Zhenyuanzi, given our relationship, I would have insisted on sending you to the Heavenly Dao Origin Space. However, considering our past friendship, I will spare you. Go now. But from today onwards, the karma between you and me is severed. If we meet again, we will be mortal enemies."
Back when Tongtian was still in the Xuanmen sect, he had a fairly good relationship with Nuwa and Zhenyuanzi. Zhenyuanzi even gave Tongtian a ginseng fruit. In fact, Tongtian has always been well-liked. Back in the Xuanmen sect, he had a good relationship with most people except for the two Western Saints and the Wu and Yao clans.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" Zhen Yuanzi bowed to Tongtian in thanks and then left.
Nuwa looked at the Lingbao in the sky and said with difficulty, "Senior Brother Tongtian, this treasure is very important to me. Can't you really give it to me?" Ever since the Lingbao was born, Nuwa had sensed that this treasure was closely related to her, so even if she lost the battle, she still had to shamelessly ask Tongtian for help.
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, I am no longer a member of the Xuanmen sect, so there is no need for my senior brother to say this. As for this treasure, it was specifically requested by my uncle, Daoist Xuanchu, and even I cannot make that decision. However, if you are willing to leave the Xuanmen sect and become a disciple of my uncle, perhaps he will give you this treasure," Tongtian said.
