Chapter 126 Praise and Killing
This sword was like the mighty power of heaven that could not be looked at directly, as if the great way would be severed if only one glance at it. An unprecedented force instantly filled the universe, causing the future on countless timelines to completely collapse. The breath of the end of the great way directly shattered billions of spaces.
This sword is a sword that pierces the heart and seeks the truth, pointing directly to the true heart of the Great Dao. If Taiqing Laozi does not dare to face it directly, there will be serious flaws in his heart of the Dao in the future.
"Why is this so!"
Upon seeing this, Taiqing Laozi couldn't help but let out a sigh, and then thousands of immortal lights enveloped the void. The innate Tai Chi Avenue interpreted the infinite myriad phenomena, as if it had merged into one with the chaotic universe and become the incarnation of the Way of Heaven.
"One Qi transforms three pure things!"
Under the relentless pressure from Master Tongtian, Laozi Taiqing had no choice but to use his most powerful incarnation. Three powerful incarnations, one Shangqing Taoist, controlled the Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth to take the sword head-on, while the Taiqing Taoists and the Yuqing Taoists cooperated with the master to activate the innate treasure Tai Chi diagram.
"Good job!"
Master Tongtian exclaimed in admiration, and then a battle formation diagram unfolded instantly, and three killing swords were fixed in the void: "Come and try my Zhuxian sword formation!"
boom!
In the chaos, a loud thunder suddenly sounded, revealing boundless murderous intent. The ultimate aura of destruction and the meaning of doom instantly filled the entire chaotic void.
The extremely dense evil spirit continued to gather in the void, with the Zhuxian Formation as the core, evolving into supreme murderous intent. People would be daunted at first glance, as if they were under heavy calamities. No matter how powerful you were, once you entered the formation, you would be trapped in a dead end.
“Daoyou!” Taiqing Laozi was secretly shocked when he saw this scene. He could not help but said in a deep voice: “The Immortal Execution Sword Formation is the number one killing formation under the Heavenly Dao. It’s just a competition. There’s no need to put on such a big show!”
He thought that since Master Tongtian practiced the Supreme Method of Forgetting Emotions, and that he had a stronger murderous intent and a colder personality, it was still within the normal range.
Unexpectedly...
The other party even used such a powerful weapon as the Zhu Xian Sword Formation!
This is a matter of winning or losing, of life or death, it means to determine who is superior!
Taiqing Laozi has not forgotten what the Taoist Hongjun said when he distributed the treasures from Zixiao Palace: "The Zhuxian Sword Formation can only be broken by the Four Saints."
Even if the saint is immortal, exists with heaven and Tao, he is not sure that he can face the number one killing array in this ancient world alone.
"Humph!"
Master Tongtian snorted coldly and did not continue to activate the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
His purpose was to force out Taiqing Laozi's magical power of One Qi Transforming into Three Purities, not to compete with him at this point in time.
Now that his goal has been achieved, he doesn't want to continue fighting with Taiqing Laozi.
otherwise……
He can figure out Taiqing Laozi's strengths and weaknesses, and Taiqing Laozi can also figure out his strengths and weaknesses in return.
Moreover, the gazes of several other saints had now passed through billions of voids and landed on the chaotic universe where he and Taiqing Laozi were fighting.
Master Tongtian doesn't want them to laugh at him.
Therefore, after thinking it over again and again, he gave up the idea of continuing to fight with Taiqing Laozi.
Anyway...
He has already seen through some of the strengths and weaknesses of the One Qi Transformation into Three Purities magical power, which means he has finally achieved what he wanted and has some ideas on how to crack this supreme magical power!
Seeing this, he immediately looked at Taiqing Laozi and said with a smile: "Brother Dao's magical power is really extraordinary! Although the Immortal Execution Sword Formation is said to be unbreakable by the Four Saints, it still pales in comparison to Brother Dao's magical power!"
"With the power of one person, he has created three incarnations comparable to saints. Brother Dao's cultivation is probably close to that of the Taoist ancestor, and has touched the threshold of transcendence!"
"My Immortal Execution Sword Formation may not be able to trap you, Brother Daoist!"
"The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda is the number one defensive treasure in the prehistoric world, and the Tai Chi Diagram is an innate treasure. It is one of the three sacred artifacts of the Creation of Heaven and has infinite mysteries. With these two treasures in hand, plus the supreme magical power of the Three Pure Ones, it is enough for fellow Taoist to be far ahead in the realm of saints!"
"Tongtian admits defeat!"
During these days' communication with Han Yi, he learned about a conspiracy called "killing with flattery". Since Taiqing Laozi had been forced to use his magical power of One Qi Transforming into Three Purities, he naturally had to teach the other party a lesson.
Among all the saints in the ancient times, Yuanshi is arrogant, Jieyin and Zhunti seem to be shameless, but the two of them are determined to strengthen the West, and they may have the ambition to become the leader of all saints.
Now that their divine thoughts have focused on the battle between him and Taiqing, he simply gave Taiqing the title of the chief of all saints.
Let other saints be more wary of Taiqing Laozi.
When Taiqing Laozi heard this, his face suddenly darkened: "Daoyou, you are really embarrassing me! In my opinion, your cultivation is the best among all the saints!"
The title of "Chief of All Saints" sounds very impressive, but if you do not have an essential difference from other saints, this title will be like a hot potato, which will only arouse people's fear out of thin air. Not only will it not bring any benefit, but it will also cause dissatisfaction from other saints.
Taiqing Laozi, who adheres to the doctrine of inaction, naturally does not want to put himself on the fire, and with a slight change of mind, he immediately praises Tongtian Jiaozhu.
but……
Master Tongtian has learned a lot from his failures, so why would he be willing to accept this title?
He chuckled and spoke slowly: "Brother Daoist is too modest! Among the Three Pure Ones, you were the first to become a saint, and your religion has a close relationship with the human race, so you have shared a lot of the luck of the protagonists of heaven and earth! And my Jie Religion has nothing to suppress luck, and our disciples are of varying quality, just like duckweed in the wind. How dare we compete with you for the title of the chief of all saints?" Taiqing Laozi thought to himself that something was not good when he heard this.
Master Tongtian, you are going to put him on the fire and roast him!
Logically speaking, the Supreme Method of Forgetting Emotions can only change a person's character and bring him into line with the Way of Heaven. It should not increase a living being's wisdom in the dark, right?
how……
The Master Tongtian in front of him seemed like a different person. Not only did he speak with sarcasm, but he was also constantly setting traps for himself with his words?
Taiqing Laozi was very confused.
However, he did not have the heart to explore these things at the moment, and just bowed to Tongtian Sect Master: "What is right and what is wrong, the way of heaven will make the final decision! I have something important to do, so I will not chat with you here!"
After saying this, the Tai Chi diagram unfolded, building a golden bridge to the other side, and then he went straight back to Shouyang Mountain.
"Ah!"
And after giving a cold laugh, Master Tongtian did not stay in the chaos. He casually cut a passage in the void and returned to the prehistoric world.
However, the aftermath of this battle did not dissipate so easily.
Be it Laozi's transformation of the Three Pure Ones into one, or Tongtian's three killing sword moves of the Tao spreading throughout the universe, the Tao giving birth to the Tao and the Tao destroying it, and the Tao ending at the end of the road, they have never been shown to the world before. When the two men fought each other this time, ripples immediately arose in the hearts of Yuanshi Tianzun and the two Western saints.
Mount Sumeru.
Taoist Zhunti retracted his gaze, looked at Taoist Jieyin and said: "Taiqing and Tongtian are indeed the incarnations of Pangu's original spirit. Their background is extremely profound, far beyond the reach of us!"
Whether it is Taiqing Laozi's One Qi Transformation into Three Pure Ones, or Tongtian Jiaozhu's Zhuxian Sword Formation, they can enable them to have the ability to fight against multiple saints at the same time.
At least……
He felt that there were no innate treasures in the West. If he and the Saint Jie Yin joined forces to fight against Taiqing or Tongtian alone, they would not be unable to resist, but they would not be able to gain the slightest advantage.
"Brother, don't underestimate yourself!" Upon hearing this, the Taoist Jie Yin comforted him, "Although the Three Pure Ones are powerful, their paths are at odds with each other and the rift has already arisen. As long as there is an opportunity, it will erupt completely! As long as we can seize that opportunity, the prosperity of the West will no longer be an empty talk!"
The Taoist Jie Yin often dreams of eternity, and with this method he can constantly spy on the secrets of heaven and the destiny of the universe.
Therefore, he knew that the conflict between the Three Pure Ones would break out sooner or later.
By the time!
This is their opportunity for rise in the West!
“That being said!” Zhunti Taoist showed a trace of worry in his eyes and sighed: “It is not easy for us in the West to rise!”
"Tai Qing seems to be doing nothing, but he is actually very shrewd. Apart from this time when he lost an incarnation, I have never seen him suffer any loss!"
"Yuanshi is arrogant. All his disciples are born with innate abilities. He is also determined to rule the Xuanmen, and has the ambition to replace the will of heaven with his own!"
“As for Tongtian, he teaches everyone without discrimination, and his disciples are said to be as powerful as the immortals. Although I don’t understand why he would create a heavenly calamity and cut off one of his arms, even if Jiejiao loses 30% of its disciples, Jiejiao is still the largest sect in the prehistoric world, and it even has a powerful weapon like the Zhuxian Sword Formation!”
"Among the Three Pure Ones, no one is easy to deal with. Even if they fight among themselves, I don't have much confidence that I can snatch a part of their luck!"
“That’s all right!” Taoist Jie Yin patted Taoist Zhunti on the shoulder and said, “Everything will decline after reaching its peak, and everything will prosper after reaching its peak. The Way of Heaven will not always favor the Three Pure Ones!”
In the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi Tianzun's expression also became very solemn, and there was a hint of fear and sadness between his brows.
If it weren't for the battle just now, he wouldn't have known how deeply Taiqing Laozi and Tongtian Jiaozhu were hiding.
"I!"
"Tongtian!"
What the two had previously revealed to the world was just like the tip of an iceberg. At least before today, he had never seen the methods they used.
After the Three Pure Ones separated, he became closer to Taiqing Laozi because of his own ideas, and they often communicated and discussed the Dao with each other.
He always thought that he knew Taiqing well enough.
But now it seems that Taiqing Laozi is not completely unguarded against him, and his ambition may be even deeper than his own.
Once the seeds of distrust are planted, they will take root and sprout sooner or later.
This is the human heart!
While the saints were plotting against each other, Han Yi quietly left Shangqing Realm Yu Yutian and came to Zhensheng Xuanhuatian where he placed his earthly immortal fruit.
His top priority now is to perfect his human immortality. There is not much benefit for him to continue staying in Yu Yutian.
In addition, it was because an uninvited guest came to Wuyi Mountain.
